I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

84 – Operation

Hearing the news that the Eritrean Imperial Army is heading to the Argen Kingdom, Edwin intuitively senses that his concerns have become reality and declares a state of emergency.

So the warrior party lost their way and hesitated,

It was about whether to go to the kingdom of Horon in the south, which was invaded by the demon king’s army, or to stay in the kingdom of Argen to stop the Eritre Empire army.

Of course, in order to stop the demon army made up of monsters and demons, a hero must go down to stop it, but

I couldn’t make a hasty decision because the number of Eritre Empire troops heading to Argen Kingdom was unusual.

It was said that Princess Cecilia, who had promised to marry Edwin, would send reinforcements from the Fjord Empire, but

It took several days to reorganize the army and depart in order to come to the kingdom of Arjen as support.

There is also a kingdom called Erupe nearby, but it was so poor that it could not afford to help the kingdom of Arzen.

It was a very embarrassing situation to the extent that the word dilemma was appropriate for the hero party right now…

“Haaa…”

Although it was broad daylight, Edwin had a bottle of alcohol lying on his work desk.

Whereas normally he wouldn’t touch his mouth except on special occasions, now he couldn’t overcome the stress and started drinking.

“I don’t think I can help it right now. First, send a letter to Count Rochelli in Horon Kingdom. The situation here has become difficult, so it is difficult to apply.”

I’d rather be able to stop it with my own power if the Demon King’s Army and the Aerither Empire’s army come together, but…

The distance between Horon Kingdom and this place was not a distance that only I could handle.

It’s a very long distance that would take three days even if you fight in the kingdom of Horon and ride up on horseback day and night…

In the meantime, rain comes and goes and the land becomes muddy, so it takes a day or two more.

“How can I say that with my own mouth… What kind of place is the kingdom of Horon? It’s the place that supports you the most after our kingdom and the Fjord Empire… I even said that I would help you no matter what…”

Edwin was suffering so much to take responsibility for what he said, and I explained again that realistically, our warrior party could not move.

“It’s a tough job in reality. A knife is in my throat right now, but this is not the time to worry about other people’s necks.”

“Of course… Haaa…”

There was another reason Edwin was suffering so much, because three requests for support came in from the Kingdom of Horon just today.

I wonder how desperate your circumstances were, but…

It was embarrassing because we were also in a difficult situation and the work there overlapped.

Then…

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind…

“Edwin, how about this?”

“What?”

“Send Kir, Irene, Lucia, and some of the troops to the Kingdom of Horon, and you and I will be in charge of this place.”

“What!?”

Edwin listened to me and was about to have a drink, but then jumped up from his seat and asked again.

I told you what I was thinking in preparation for the worst.

“If Irene has the Frost Sword, she will be able to fight the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army, and if she goes as far as Kir and Lucia, she will be able to fight just as well as I do. And I’m in charge of this place.”

At first, I was afraid to go down, not knowing that the Four Heavenly Kings might be mixed with the demon army.

I decided to stay here thinking that killing the same person might put a lot of pressure on them.

“Is it okay with only them? If the Four Heavenly Kings or the Demon King’s army go that way…”

“Well… If I were the Demon King, would you come to me who was left alone… Do I really want to go to those party members?”

Even if a party member dies, it’s enough to say that someone else will fill the place, but

I added credibility to my words because if I, a warrior, die, I can put an end to not only the warrior party but also the countries in charge of me.

“Are you okay? Carlos? I’m fighting almost alone… Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“It’s okay. First of all, it could be that the imperial army came simply to scare them, and even if they fought, I, who can’t lose even when the Four Heavenly Kings come, will I lose to the human army?”

Even at my words, Edwin’s dark face did not intend to straighten.

At this, Kir, who was listening with me, interrupted me and Edwin to see if there was something to say.

“Is it really necessary to go all the way to me? I think just those two would be enough…”

Kir pointed to Irene and Lucia sitting next to him and said,

Perhaps he brought up the word to stay here with me.

“Kir, you must go. Irene’s supporters are also supporters, but you’re the only one who can protect Lucia, who spends a lot of time memorizing spells, Kirer.”

“Me… is it just me…?”

“Yes.”

Kir seemed to have gained a little bit of confidence from my words, and sat down quietly again with a happy face.

Lucia then opened her mouth, but I interrupted her before I could hear her story.

“Lucia, of course you have to go together… If you can’t even see a monster corpse properly, what should you do if you see a human corpse?”

“……”

Lucia is a woman whose heart is so tender that she can’t even look at the corpses of monsters that have died brutally before.

If you happen to see the corpse of the dying Imperial Army left here, you’ll probably pass out.

That’s that, but if it was the Elim that Lucia had summoned, she could have sufficiently eased my worries no matter how many monsters or even the Four Heavenly Kings came.

“If the three warrior party members leave… Am I the only one left here now?”

At this single word from Clara, the meeting, which had been going smoothly, collapsed in an instant, and everyone stood up in protest.

“Hero, we’d rather stay here, so you can go to the kingdom of Horon…”

“Right. Warrior. Looking back, I think we’d be better off here.”

“For me… as long as I’m next to the hero…”

Starting with Irene, Kir and Lucia all spoke at once, so I couldn’t understand exactly what she was saying.

All their resentful eyes were directed at Clara.

“Hey… Everyone is in an emergency right now… Horon Kingdom isn’t even going out to play, so everyone calm down.”

“But…”

I once again reminded them of the seriousness of the current situation and leaned back in the chair.

I thought that Clara, who came to my side, was just staring at them, but the fact that she was sticking out her tongue seemed to be mocking them.

“Clara!”

“…..”

At this, Edwin couldn’t see it and shouted at Clara, and Clara’s ridicule stopped and the atmosphere became quiet again.

“Everyone, don’t overdo it even if you go to the kingdom of Horon. If you think it’s dangerous, don’t think of it as humiliating and avoid yourself first.”

Everybody just nodded at Edwin’s request, but the atmosphere didn’t change to the playful mood like before.

*

The girls’ fight continued until dinner, and I, who had a lot to think about, returned to my room first.

Even the moment I walked out of the restaurant, I could hear the three women fighting all the way down the hall…

When I met the faces of the ladies-in-waiting in the hallway or the ladies-in-waiting passing by, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t raise my head.

So let’s go back to the room and close the door,

As if I had been waiting, I heard a familiar voice from the window.

“What? Did you leave before me and come back now?”

“Kir?”

I’m sure Clara and I were arguing when I left the restaurant…

“When did you come here?”

“When I saw the hero leave, I sneaked over to the roof.”

“What kind of thief are you? Just come down the hallway…”

“Ah~ I did it to surprise the hero~”

Kirr said that and took out a bottle hidden in her waist.

“That drink is…”

Kir took out a bottle of liquor that the former king cherished and that the current king, Edwin, also cherishes.

“hehehe. I sneaked in.”

“It’s stolen…”

Kirr casually placed the bottle on the table, then walked over to me as I stood in front of the door, grabbed him by the arm, and forced him to sit on the sofa.

“It will be difficult to see your face for the next few days, so you should see them all today.”

“I need to go and get some rest before leaving tomorrow.”

“I’ll be riding in a carriage anyway, so I can rest to my heart’s content in the carriage.”

Kirr sat down by the sofa and leaned on his shoulder while he was talking and started pouring me a drink.

“You can’t meet another woman without me.”

“……”

“All I allow is Clara. Lucia… Hmm… Think about it… Anyway! Bear in mind! If we’re gone, try sleeping with someone else or just do that. Then….”

Kirr slurred his words and moved his hand,

I don’t know when she’s been holding it… A dagger was in her hand,

The tip of the dagger was threatening my crotch.

Contrary to her threat, her face was getting redder as her eyes opened slightly, and her face, which had been heated by her alcohol, was getting redder.

Her gaze was on my lips before I knew it.

“Hey.. Hero…”

“Huh?”

“That… I haven’t seen you for a while…”

“So?”

Kirr was twirling around my chest with her index finger and speaking her words slowly, word for word.

Her face was getting closer and closer to mine, and the distance between her lips was also getting closer.

“With me today…”

Boom! Bang!!

Kir’s face and my face, which were getting closer and closer, left a distance of less than an inch and stopped at the sound of someone knocking hard.
