Another World Warrior Who Uses a Shop

The paladin does not back down

At that moment, a loud voice was heard from inside the facility.

“Ah, sister! Welcome! We just stopped the suspicious person from entering!”

The gate burst open, and an elderly priestess with long white hair in a neatly tied stride strode out, grasped the situation, and immediately approached the self-proclaimed apprentice paladin.

“But don’t worry. As long as this apprentice paladin Idelia exists, it will never be a threat…”

bang!

“You mischievous kid!”

“uh! Now, hold on!”

The priestess strode forward and slammed her fist at the bucket, the helm of a chattering self-proclaimed apprentice paladin. The self-proclaimed apprentice paladin didn’t even move, but he seemed to be flustered.

“All the utensils in the facility were stolen and destroyed! They even threatened people there, I can’t just let it pass today! Don’t spank me!”

“No! I’m old too, how could that be!”

“noisy! What nonsense is this little guy! Go in and tidy up and come to my room!”

“Yeah, but it’s true that the suspicious person tried to enter the facility!”

“Ah, I am an adventurer who came upon a request. Here is the certificate written by Priest Zilenai.”

Hyeonjun quickly intervened and took out a piece of parchment and handed it to me. The priestess received the certificate in one hand, opened it, and frowned. Hyunjoon couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It was because the back of the parchment could still be seen as undried ink.

“Looking at the parchment, it must have been written by Brother Zilenai. Come on, come inside. I am sorry that my child has offended you.”

“hahahaha, no. It can be.”

Hyeonjun smiled and looked back at the self-proclaimed paladin apprentice. A trembling finger is pointing at the deed.

“Uh, uh, no, that’s…”

“noisy! Go in quickly!”

“Heeing…”

Hyeon-joon stuck his head out from behind the priestess and laughed bitterly at her downcast. Then he said in a soft voice.

“Don’t get too upset. It was also my fault that I hesitated because it was too sudden.”

“no. I know very well what kind of personality my child is. He probably guessed it and rushed at it.”

The priestess glared at the self-proclaimed apprentice paladin and said. Hyeonjun smiled again the moment the priestess turned her head and even waved her hand. Now the poor knight is furious and his whole body trembles.

“Since the matter is urgent, how about talking calmly with the two of us later?”

“All right. Follow me. And Idelia.”

“Nungeee…”

“Don’t lengthen your horse’s tail!”

“yes!”

“You disrespected the person who came to help.”

“…”

“Are you going to keep your mouth shut like that?”

“I’m sorry…”

When the priestess’s eyes turned fierce at the words she grumbled reluctantly, Hyeon-jun smiled a bit troubled and said,

“No, thanks. Circumstances are circumstances, and they can be.”

“Really, after…”

The priestess finally let out a sigh, and the self-proclaimed apprentice paladin flinched. The high priestess’s eyebrows twitched as the metal rang loudly. Seeing that, the self-proclaimed apprentice paladin couldn’t move and stopped.

“Come on in. Even at this moment, children will be threatened.”

“yes. sorry.”

Hyeon-jun walked along with the priestess, but only slightly turned his head, saw the froze, smiled sarcastically and went inside. And after a while, I grinned at the sound I heard behind me.

“Ugh…!”

bang! bang! bang! bang!

‘Looks good.’

Hyeonjun secretly giggled and laughed. I wanted to hit it with my heart, but it’s fun to secretly encourage it like this.

In the meantime, it is a power beyond common sense to make an explosion sound by stamping one’s foot. It seems that the divine power is very strong. I really can’t understand God’s heart to give such a little boy such a big power.

After following the priestess into the room and sitting down, I was finally able to say hello. And then Hyeon-jun noticed that her arm was missing. The left arm below the elbow is missing. Hyeon-joon faced her calmly without expressing himself.

“Sorry for the late greeting. This is Deliana.”

“I am Kang Hyeon-jun, an F-class adventurer. Please call me Jun.”

Deliana’s eyes moved slightly at Hyeonjun’s words.

“Even though Idelia rushed at her, she didn’t get a single wound, so I thought she was B-class or higher. You are very strong.”

Hyunjoon smiled bitterly and said.

“Yes, what. It’s been a while since I became an adventurer. Did you say Idelia by the way? The power was unbelievable. It was a bit clumsy, though, so it wasn’t too intimidating.”

“Whoa…”

Deliana let out another deep sigh. Anguish fills the forehead.

“Because I am a little special child. Anyway, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. I’ll make it clear later.”

“yes. Now let’s get down to business.”

“yes. First of all, how much do you know? As you can see, Brother Zilenai’s writing is like this.”

Hyeonjun told Deliana about the story he had with Zilenai. After listening to the story, she began to mark with a pen on the map Hyun-joon had spread out. I move without hesitation, as if I remembered everything in my head. The number is about 30 or so.

“The number of children who suddenly did not come to the facility this morning was six.”

“The number is increasing.”

“yes. And at first, they target orphaned children, but after bringing them into the temple, they are kidnapping children with parents without hesitation.”

Deliana is already concluding that it is an abduction. It is quite different from what Zilenai said as if leaving room for something. Her face was frozen with cold fury.

“As parents came to the facility to ask for help, we were able to get an accurate count. The situation is already escalating out of control.”

“Are the guards not moving even in this situation?”

“The guards welcome the reduction of the poor. They will only move when a crisis hits right in front of them.”

“why···.”

Deliana closed her eyes for a moment and was silent before opening her mouth.

“I don’t think they intervened in this, but the movements of the nobles are unusual.”

At those words, Hyunjoon’s face hardened. If you stick your head into something that a nobleman is involved in, and get sprained, your head may just fall off.

“Despite the request of the temple, the nobles do not want to pay attention to these trivial matters anymore.”

When she said the word ‘trifle’, anger burned like fire in her eyes. It looks cold, but inside it must be rotten.

“Brother. This job may be too much for the average adventurer. Thank you so much for even coming here to help. Finally, give the word to Zilenai. The request will be considered complete.”

Hyunjoon finally couldn’t hold back and let out a sigh. I want to step out of my mind, but I can’t. because of the quest. And even in the middle of this difficult time, looking at the priests, who were the very light that even mere adventurers valued, seemed like they would lose their minds at their own ugliness.

“Priest. I also received this request because of circumstances. We cannot back down until we catch the kidnappers and find the children.”

At that answer, Deliana widened her eyes. And then he smiled softly. With the wrinkles in his eyes wet, he gently wiped them with his hand and slowly lowered his head.

“thank you.”

“I’m doing it for reasons too, so don’t do that.”

“Huh, I understand.”

At that moment, the sound of footsteps was heard in Hyunjoon’s ears. It’s a powerless sound that drags your feet.

smart.

“Sister…”

“Come on in.”

The door opened carefully, and a small head peeked in through the gap.

“Come in quickly.”

“yes!”

At Deliana’s words, Idelia hurriedly came inside. Hyunjoon was surprised.

“Aren’t you still a child?”

“I am not a child!”

“Uh huh.”

“Hing…”

Edelia was a girl who appeared to be in her mid to late teens. He has black ink-like hair that has grown back and tied back, and has completely black eyes that look like they could be sucked in. There’s even pure white and soft skin. She is a girl with unrealistic beauty, as if she brought a doll to life. Hyun-jun, who has seen numerous beauties on TV and the Internet in modern times, is also surprisingly beautiful. but he is a child The perplexed mind is big.

“I never thought you’d be this young.”

“I am not a child!”

“Write.”

In the end, Idelia puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away.

“Did you really ask the child to guard the door?”

Hyeonjun couldn’t hide his embarrassment and asked Deliana sharply. I’ve seen them teach martial arts, but I never thought they’d really get them to fight.

“I did it myself!”

Edelia suddenly exclaimed.

“Sister, you are not the one who leaves the work to others! And I’m not a child. As an apprentice paladin, I have to protect everyone.”

“Is that your name?”

At Hyeonjun’s words, Idelia pursed her lips and turned her head away. kid is right

“They continued to block the entrance while armed, so when they took the armor and weapons, they blew a hole in the kitchen and stayed outside like that.”

Hearing Deliana’s troublesome words, Hyeonjun spoke to Idelia with a serious face.

“I’m proud of you, kid. But listen to the priest. The child must be protected. It is a right, but also a duty. How much will the priest feel if you get hurt?”

Idelia didn’t even look at me, as if she was pouting. To make fun of him, he exaggeratedly said it like a child, but those words were Hyeon-jun’s true intentions. The child needs to be happy and protected. It is a right, but also a duty. Hyunjoon really thought so.

“Still, I am the strongest.”

“Little boy. You’re just too young to be so conceited.”

At Hyeon-jun’s words, Idelia turned around at Hyeon-jun.

“Because you lost to me!”

“You’re still a child, how could I hit you? I have no choice but to back off.”

Edelia’s eyes caught fire. It was because Hyeon-jun tried to push away Idelia’s shield (cauldron lid) with all his might, but with one hand he managed to hold it back.

“great. It’s a duel!”

“Idelia.”

“omg!”

At Idelia’s request for a duel, Deliana called to Idelia in a low voice. Idelia, who had forgotten that Deliana was there, staggered back in surprise.

“Priest, it is all right. I was worried that something big would happen later while being so conceited, but it turned out well.”

“Huh, heh! It’s only now that I’m talking proudly!”

Idelia struggled to raise her voice while trembling at Deliana’s eyes. The idea of winning the duel and seeing it is clearly visible.

“Yes, yes. Instead, if you lose to me, you will listen to the adults.”

“If I win, please call me Idelia Apprentice Paladin.”

“You don’t know how weak you are. You know the saying ‘Know thyself’?”

“Uh, no. I do not know···.”

Edelia suddenly became downcast and spoke softly. Then, he glanced at Deliana. As Deliana stays quiet, she regains her strength.

“Isn’t that something only you know? I was surprised to find out that I forgot to study.”

“huh. A famous person from my hometown… from a neighboring country said it.”

It’s not wrong to say that it’s a global village neighbor.

“What does it mean?”

He looked as if he would run away at any moment, then innocently asked with his eyes shining.

“It means knowing that you don’t know. In this case, I meant to let you know that you are weak.”

He listened well to the first part, but the moment he heard that he was weak, his face turned red and he trembled. The teasing taste is so good that I can’t stop!

“Come out!”

“okay. Don’t cry after losing.”

Ethelia stomped out of the room.

“Are you okay? Idelia is strong.”

“no. Priest, that child is weak. It is frighteningly weak for such a weak child to wield a weapon because of his confidence.”

Deliana made a subtle expression. The Idelia she knows is a special child who is strong and agile enough to be said to run away from wild animals. In addition, he even learned swordsmanship from Zilenai, a combat priest. But when Hyun-joon said that, I was a little embarrassed.

“I’m sorry the story was delayed beyond that.”

“no. I hope this makes him a little humbler.”

Hearing Deliana’s concerns, Hyeonjun laughed. He treats her harshly, but there is a warm love inside.

“Is it still?”

Idelia’s cry is heard in the distance. Hyeonjun said confidently to Deliana.

“You will be very humble. Do not worry.”
