Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

Even as the sun was setting, the sound of the children running did not stop.

Even though he had been playing tag for several hours, his physical strength seemed to never tire, and even after the sun went down, the children playing in the town square remained the same.

If there was only one thing that changed, it would be that the children’s laughter turned into screams.

“Run away. Sis. You must survive too!”

“no. aah!”

The child caught in Lucia’s grasp was pushing her sister and sacrificing instead.

The cries of the older brother and the sorrowful voice of the younger sister gave birth to a gorgeous ensemble.

He must be imagining protecting his younger brother from demons with a magnificent BGM in his head.

Of course, he’s a real Demon King.

“Heh heh heh heh.”

At this point, it is possible to let them go and look after them, but Lucia dragged the man into the alley with an exaggerated laughter.

My sister cried and stretched out her hand, but couldn’t reach it. The outstretched hand sadly stirs the air.

After a while, Lucia was the only one who reappeared through the lost alleyways.

And when she saw her eyes lit up with brilliance, the children were terrified and backed away.

“Run away. Everyone run away! Everyone survive… Uh-huh!”

“aa”

Another lost victim’s voice. The scream of a child called the captain eventually echoed in the square.

What had been painted over there was Lucia’s recalled voice, who had no choice but to be happy.

“fun!”

And the chase followed again.

The children trembled and began to run away with fear on their faces.

“Wrong. that sister They don’t see us as children. Everyone run away!”

“help me. Someone please save me!!”

“Why, why are you doing your best! We’re still children, eh!”

But the scream didn’t last long.

One by one, the children in the town square were dragged down the alley by Lucia.

Eventually, after a while, the laughter of children filling the town square was no longer heard.

Only traces of dragging on the floor leading to the alley remain. No one knows what’s inside that alley.

Ah, maybe only the ephemeral silence of the victims piled up on top of each other…

No, not this!

“Yumma. You should do it in moderation. Moderately!”

“Huh?”

After watching the disappearance of 20 children in just three minutes, I intervened in the kidnapping scene.

Then, holding the children on both shoulders, Man Lucia asked in a puzzled voice.

“what’s the matter. Kael. I was having fun.”

“You have to do it while watching it. Aren’t the kids scared?”

At my words, not only Lucia, but also the children on both shoulders tilted their heads.

No, why do you question my words? to save you

At that time, the children in the alley heard the sound and rushed out to complain.

“What is it. Uncle Kael. This is a really fun moment.”

“Right. This is an important scene where children who have just disappeared from the square are born as zombies and attack the village!”

“Of course, the first victim is Aerith’s sister!”

“······yes?”

Aerith sneaked behind me in a role that wasn’t agreed upon beforehand.

Conversely, Lucia, supported by the children’s arguments, looked at me proudly with her shoulders folded.

Ugh, the guys who had been screaming for life before.

“Playing with my sister is so much fun! How can I be dragged around like that without mercy?”

“Uncle Kael and all the other adults look after me, but only Noona did her best from start to finish!”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever met an adult on the same level as us!”

“Hehehe.”

“Do not laugh. That’s not a compliment.”

I waved Lucia’s shoulder for advice, but she didn’t listen.

I don’t think you can hear me because I’m trying to get along with my children.

As I stared at it in amazement, I heard a chuckle next to me.

“Fufu. The hero has lost to the Demon King.”

“No, the big saint makes such a joke.”

Aerith shrugged, covering her mouth with her hand as to what was pleasant.

I’ve never had a fight with Lucia in the first place.

The woman who was giggling from the side looked a bit naive and counterattacked.

“In that sense, didn’t Aeris also lose to the kids?”

“Ugh. But kids these days have great stamina.”

“Huh. I do not know. Maybe that’s because Aerith’s lack of exercise.”

Instead of answering my words, Aerith looked up at me with a look of dissatisfaction.

But then he grinned and opened his mouth, pretending to wipe the nape of his neck.

“huh. I don’t want to hear from someone who was sloppy and spy on me running around and sweating.”

“Wait. If you explain it that way…”

“Oh, maybe there was something wrong with what I just said?”

No, that’s not wrong. It’s not, but it’s a good word to be misunderstood and caught.

When I was absurd, she smiled and waved her hand to see what was funny.

“Fufu. just joke. There is no way I can think of Kael that way.”

“Let’s not do something we haven’t done before. I’m afraid the believers will hear it.”

“These days, playing with children, I guess I have a lot of fun. Did I change because I lived in this town?”

She trembled softly and smiled faintly.

“Oh, come to think of it, I have to make dinner for four tonight. Lucia is here too.”

Saying that, Aerith looked somewhat excited.

A sky without a single dark cloud. She looked at the children and seemed to surrender herself to the pleasant wind.

At the same time, the pure white uniform she was wearing was blown away in the wind once, and then it sank.

The villagers made her new uniform, which was made more flatter than usual and wrapped around her body comfortably.

Thanks to that consideration, her body was completely covered unless she was forced to reveal it.

“Then we’ll be back soon.”

“yes. Serene might be waiting too.”

Oh, by the way, I didn’t buy her cookies.

Well, let’s take this opportunity to go on a diet. I was just worried because I had gained weight recently.

“hey. Lucia. Let’s go now.”

The sun had set and it was time for dinner.

And above all else, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask Lucia. Knowing the current situation of the Empire will help you make the next policy.

But Lucia was still surrounded by children.

“Sister, why are you wearing that kind of clothes?”

“How can I run as fast as my sister?”

After a long time, there was no sign of letting Lucia go.

In just one day, it has become a children’s favorite.

‘At that point, the children should never be able to find out that you are the Demon King.’

However, contrary to my wishes, the next day, among the children, Lucia’s nickname was called Demon King.

He even said it with his own mouth…

oh I really can’t eat it!

*

As the sun went down, it was dark and the crowing of insects was pleasantly heard.

All I did was go to the village chief and tell him about leaving the village, but it was already evening.

However, the culprit, Lucia, blinked as if she was not tired, and threw a question bomb at me without breathing.

“ah. It goes back on the water. Kael. Can I ride it just once?”

“Look over there, Cal. Something very shiny is flying. Shall we grab one?”

“By the way, when is our match? I’m fine anytime!”

And he chirps nonstop next to me and pulls my collar tightly.

What kind of demon lord has so many questions about the hero, has he already come too far to ask?

It’s because she saved the holy sword that was attached to her waist in the first place.

“ha.”

A more disturbing sigh came out than ever before, and he answered her words dryly.

It was only when I got home that I was able to escape from that innocent, innocent questioning.

Instead, Serin had to carry the bomb.

“Long time no see. honey honey Did you have a good time while I was away?”

“Ahhh! Uh, why!? Please save me, my lord! This is my master!!”

As soon as she saw Lucia, it seems that Serin, who was sitting on the second floor, was finally caught.

I struggled to ignore the screams from the second floor for a while.

And after a while, Lucia, who came down with Serine, was able to hear what had happened.

battle with the empire. And the helpless defeat of the heroes and the death of Ashua.

In particular, the news of his death came a bit complicated for me.

Unlike Gerald and Aurelia, she didn’t harbor any malice towards me.

If I had to forgive only one of my treacherous colleagues, it might have been him.

“Besides, you and Mary seem to have felt a bit of remorse. yes?”

“Well, that’s why you’re reflecting like this. Hehe.”

Serin looked into my eyes with a sullen smile.

I turned my head to her and asked Lucia a question again.

“Then Aurelia doesn’t know I’m here.”

“yes. And I have done all the requests written on the paper.”

“okay. Well done.”

At my words, Lucia put on a proud expression.

By the way, now that things have come to pass, there is no need to delay any longer.

I never thought it would be this miserable. If she was looking for an opportunity, it would be now that her power and government have weakened.

Besides, now she will be desperate to find me. And somehow he’ll try to seal the demon king.

‘But why do you think I’ll help you?’

Of course, it is true that I intentionally created a situation where I had no choice but to cling to me.

The funny thing is that, according to Lucia’s words, Aurelia at the time said it was only natural that I would help her.

The survival of mankind is at stake, so please cooperate for now, right? Or am I the perpetrator, so I can’t remember the pain of the victim?

Maybe you still think that I will fight for you like Hogu to save the continent like back then.

“I don’t know.”

Whatever it was, it was difficult for me to understand.

I don’t even want to know the traitor’s mindset in the first place.

“Then let’s get ready.”

“yes?”

“yes?”

“What?”

At my words, everyone’s eyes gathered on me.

And I answered the question without hesitation.

“I’m commended. to the capital.”

For Aurelia’s first and last revenge.
