Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

chapter 9



A week ago, I cut off her ankle in a battle with Serin.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…”

Serin’s mournful cry echoed in the square.

The blood that had flowed from her amputation began to mix with the muddy water.

Isn’t that a bacterial infection? It’s hard to die already.

I grabbed her leg with a gentle hand and lifted it up.

“Ouch!? off, off? Whoa!”

Then, as if moved by my kindness, Serin squirmed and screamed with emotion.

If you already have this much, what are you going to do next?

In the future, as a public good in the village, I will have to work diligently here and there.

I carefully lifted her, a precious worker.

If you leave it like this, you’ll die too, so I’ll have to save it for the first time.

“Ah, shall I take that as well?”

I grabbed what was Serine’s ankle that was buried in the mud.

On the way home in that state, we found a saint waiting for us in front of the house.

At first, her face was relieved when she found us, but when she saw Serin’s condition, she was terrified.

Even his ankles were cut off in the rain and mud, so if he didn’t have the tolerance for it, it was a pretty ugly face.

Besides, even though she’s a saint, she’s still too young to handle this.

However, the bewildered expression of the saint also brought Serin to her house for a while.

“Maybe if it’s an ankle, you can put it on.”

She said that as she watched Serine crumple and die.

But do you really need to do that?

However, she started attaching her already cleaned ankles to Serin’s legs.

“Hold on a little bit.”

“Ugh, uh. Turn it off…”

Even though he was in a state of extreme pain and half unconscious, he twisted his body and screamed.

But it was clearly visible that it was getting attached more and more.

Well, if you want to use it as a worker, would this be better?

After finishing the treatment, the saint wiped the sweat on her forehead and sighed.

I spoke to her carefully.

“Oh, my lady. I’m sorry, can I ask you a favor?”

“yes?”

“Go to the village chief and tell me that the situation is over. This is how I am now.”

Serine’s blood and mud. It was also wet with rain, so it wasn’t as good as Serin, but mine wasn’t very good either.

Seeing my condition, she nodded as if she understood my condition and went to the village chief.

········Well then, the saint must also go.

“Hey, Serene.”

“Ugh, uh, ah ah ah ah…”

“Yumma. Don’t show.”

tuk tuk.

After a few light slaps, she furrowed her eyebrows.

No, it’s obvious that everything is better, but where’s the refurbishment?

I gently touched the part of my ankle that had been cut off, and she jumped up to play.

“Hey, don’t touch it!!”

“It’s cool.”

“Ugh… I’m begging you, so please stop. Now please, uh-huh.”

Serin couldn’t speak anymore and sobbed while covering her face with her hands.

It was a little difficult for me to see her like that.

ha how do you do this

If someone else had done this, I would have felt sad and sympathetic. Because of this, I have the urge to cut off the rest of my ankle.

“hey. If you really don’t want to crawl on all fours, behave yourself. At most, the saint gave it to me.”

“…whhh.”

At that moment, she shut her mouth tightly and stopped crying.

I said softly, snoring and brushing the mud away from her silent weeping.

“I said. Welcome to the town’s public good.”

“······yes.”

“It’s nothing. You just have to listen to the villagers and work. Then I won’t kill you either.”

At my words, she looked up anxiously.

But I continued to speak without hesitation.

“Don’t run away instead. It would be too much for that ankle anyway.”

Although the saint attached it, traces of the cut still remain.

Even if it was her, it would be impossible to completely cure her.

Serin also looked at her ankle, probably thinking the same thing as me, and covered her mouth in embarrassment and sobbed.

I stroked her hair like that and explained it kindly.

“okay. I’m begging you, so please don’t make any fuss. If you want to do any trickery…”

My hand caressing her hair and caressing her neck.

“Then I’m going to cut off the ankle, not here.”

“Hib.”

She let out a strange scream and trembled.

After that, Serin nodded and agreed to my kind request, and she decided to recuperate in the cathedral for a while.

The senator said that he had to be hospitalized for 5-6 days, and I didn’t do anything to Serin until then.

Instead, he confided in all the things Serin had done to the villagers in the meantime, and set a policy of dealing with her.

Of course, there were those who said that they had a weak heart, but those who were close to me or went to church, especially those who were deeply religious, were in favor of it.

Man, the saint’s arms are numb, so it’s enough to roll your eyes.

Anyway, six days have passed since I decided to treat Serin like that.

The long-awaited discharge day has arrived.

*

I was told that fruits and flowers are essential when visiting.

So I came with both hands full, but as I entered, Serin trembled as she wrapped herself in a blanket.

“How is your body? The senator said it was all good.”

“Ka, Ka, Kael….”

“I just lost weight. looks good. Serene.”

It may look skinny, but that’s not what’s important.

I smiled as I held out the discharge gift in my hand.

“Congratulations on your retirement. Serene.”

“Oh, thank you. That, but I’m still a little bit…”

“What?”

“Hey!”

As I put down my discharge gift and sat down on the bed, she got up and clinged to the wall.

No, it’s not that the reaction was a little too much anyway. Anyone who really sees me would know that I am a perpetual perpetrator.

I ruffled her sweat-drenched hair back.

“I have to leave now. Serene.”

“That, that, yes. Kael, Kael. I’m really sick, but just a few more days…”

“Didn’t I tell you not to mess around? There are other patients, so get out of the room immediately.”

“·················ogue.”

After hearing my words, she got out of the duvet and crawled out of bed.

Then, as I was packing my bags, I saw that he was limping, so it must have been that he did not get better.

No, actually, that alone is a miracle. The one that was completely cut in two was glued together at once.

I supported her by my side as she was sweating and packing her things.

“Dog, it’s okay. I’ll do it.”

“Nope. Now I have to work non-stop every day, but I must not lose my strength already.”

“·················ogue.”

I left her lost and took care of her belongings.

The average lifespan of an elf is over 10 times that of a human. In other words, no matter how much her ankle is injured, the fact that she is a valuable worker does not change.

I packed all my things and left the church with Serin.

It was the old man’s rice field that brought her so early in the morning.

“Me, tell me to do this?”

“uh. every day too. until the death.”

As she pointed to the rice fields at my words, she was astonished.

That’s right, since I was born into a royal family and grew up precious without getting my hands wet all my life.

Besides, even when traveling with me, she used tricks to avoid chores.

Since you have lived a comfortable life, the situation in front of you will feel like a culture shock.

But, you shouldn’t be shocked already. I also have to clean up the cattle dung in the afternoon.

At that time, the old man next to me looked at Serin’s condition for a while and then looked at me and asked.

“Hmm. Is it really okay to use this lady?”

He put on a puzzled expression.

In fact, I haven’t slept properly for the past week, so my hair is so messy that it has dark circles under my eyes.

In addition, it was natural for the elderly to feel weak as they limped every time they walked.

However, it seems it wasn’t the lady next to her.

“what are you doing? Don’t change clothes quickly.”

“······uh?”

Park-

The clothes thrown by the aunt hit Serin’s face.

Serin made a bewildered expression on her face, but to no avail.

Yes, that lady is a devout believer. It wasn’t enough to eat me on my back, I even touched the saint, so I’ll just walk on the flame path from now on.

Seeing Serin still hesitating, the aunt fired once more.

“Hurry up and change your clothes. I have a lot to do.”

“Si, I hate it.”

“What?”

“I’m going to wear this.”

We looked at Serin’s dress with bewildered expressions.

Clothing that she was selected as a hero and was bestowed upon her by the elven king. Perhaps there is the pride of the princess and the hero at the same time.

If I see that I will wear it, is it that I want to keep my beliefs, or is it my own rebellion against me?

Whatever it is, I want to lose one.

“But, can I wear it? My feet are sick.”

“·················ogue.”

At my words, she bit her lip.

Even if the sides are open, it is a dress, and it is a garment made to fit her body. It won’t be uncomfortable every time you walk through the rice fields and bow down. Besides, your feet are like that.

Nevertheless, she did not give up her stubbornness and entered the rice field wearing a dress.

And in less than an hour,

“Uhhh.”

The sound of Serin’s breathing echoed through the rice fields.

He gets hit by cheating so as not to get his hands dirty, gets caught in a dress while walking and falls backwards, cries that he can’t do it anymore, and gets another shot.

I watched all the live performances with alcohol while taking pictures with artifacts in the best seats.

Hey, it would be perfect if only Aurelia was there.

By the way, if she’s like that, shouldn’t Aurelia have to crawl around town?

“Once we’re done, let’s go to the next job.”

I took Serin after work and sent it to the next job.

And after eating serine all day that day, he returned home.

“Ahhh…”

I decided to put Serin, who makes a crying sound, in the warehouse on the second floor of my house. Even if my foot hurts, I can’t leave it to someone else.

And today, I was preparing to roll with a tight schedule-

“Se, Serin-sama?”

“·················ogue.”

I found Serin, who had sent me an errand to empty the public toilet, with the saint.
