I Became the Hero of the Warrior Party

chapter 23



23 – Episode 20: Adventurer Registration

In life, there are so many different types of people.

Look at a friend, family member, or lover next to you right now. They will all have different personalities and appearances.

As human beings, we should respect all of them, but we don’t need to respect those who cross the line. Because those guys are bastards wearing beggars’ masks.

When those bastards talk shit, go ahead and say it.

Do you want to go back, you f*cking bastard?

It doesn’t matter if you just pass it quietly.

However, if you silently go over every time with the excuse that you are weaker than your opponent, the act of crossing the line will become a matter of course for the other person.

Of course, if you are a person who can feel the threat of your life as I said, it is wise to stay quiet and not show off.

It is up to you to judge.

***

The eventful last day in the Great Forest was over, and I woke up in my room looking like a hungover zombie.

Maybe it was because I drank too much, but my memory from the time I emptied my third glass yesterday was empty. After walking around town to wake up from a terrible hangover, I felt a little better.

Rin and Kyoko’s condition was a little strange, but I didn’t mind

Kevin and the others gathered our equipment and food and loaded them into the wagon the high elves had provided.

Finally, we headed to Hait to say goodbye.

“Human, good-bye. In my heart, I wanted to accompany you, but I, the representative of the High Elves, must not be involved in the formation of a new alliance of elves…”

“Mr. Hite… That sounds disgusting, can you stop using that tone?”

“Oh, you f*cking human. I was setting the mood… wouldn’t it suit you that much?”

“yes. I really don’t like it. It’s one of the most disgusting words I’ve heard this year.”

I frowned and said to Hite, who suddenly spoke with a raised voice and a formal tone that did not suit him.

Then, Hite scratched his head for a while as if he was cool, and then started to use his originally rough, profanity-mixed tone.

“Oh, that’s right, human. There is one more person who wants to say goodbye to you. what the f*ck did you do? I’m dying of frustration, won’t you come out quickly?”

“Go, you can go!”

Hite, as if suddenly remembered, started shouting loudly toward the back of the tree. Appearing at her call was Hern, the daughter of the Dark Elf Chief.

“That…over there…! That’s… I just wanted to say I’m sorry…”

“What?”

“Won, you didn’t even want to, but you almost married someone like me…”

“It’s nothing. And it’s not Hern’s fault. It wasn’t that f*ckin’ brat… it was Hern’s father’s fault.”

I patted her on the shoulder and reassured her.

The leash was so shocking that I honestly still can’t forget it, but there was nothing wrong with her.

“Me too!”

“The person Hern will go with isn’t a human, isn’t it me?”

“No, no…”

“Now that the Dark Elf Chief has been captured, who is the only Chief’s daughter? Listen to me, f*ck you.”

Hite said to Hern in a soft tone, holding Hern’s shoulders tightly as he looked at me with sparkling eyes.

“Huh…”

“Anyway, as representatives of the Dark Elves and the High Elves, we plan to unite each Elf into one federation.”

Like that, Hite held on to Hern, who was making a desperate expression, and spoke as if he wasn’t ready.

“Then, I really must leave now.”

“Yeah, f*ck and don’t hate the dark elves too much. It’s because the chieftain is stupid, but there are many innocent guys like Hern. That’s right… what did you say your name was?”

“This is Joo Hyuk. I will try what you said. Mr. Hite, we’ll be on our way, then.”

“Yes, Joo Hyuk. Don’t run after being bitten by a demon on the way. It’s a shame to deal with it.”

I politely bowed my head and said.

Hite replied with a grin.

“Are you sure you’ll come back…?”

“Yes, of course, Hern. I will come back when the Dark Elves and High Elves fuse well and revive.”

yeah never come

What did I say, so I roughly looked around.

According to common sense, I was forced to work for a month, but what kind of crazy person wants to come back?

Even now, the relationship is not so bad, but the day will never come when the two elves reconcile. In that sense, my words were no different from safety bread.

I said goodbye to everyone in the village and climbed into the carriage.

The carriage started, and the last scene of the great forest was gradually receding from sight.

It meant that it was finally a serious start.

“That… did I do something wrong…?”

It was f*cking embarrassing.

I wondered if they were still tired because they hadn’t said anything since morning.

However, he didn’t try to talk to me for a long time after we left the village.

“Tell me! Please… what did I do yesterday!”

“Joo-hyeok, don’t you remember anything?”

“yes! Please tell me what happened!”

Rin asked, barely raising her head.

I nodded vigorously and started questioning.

“Cho, you should never tell Chop!!”

“Of course… I also have no intention of saying anything.”

“No, what the hell…”

Kyoko shouted at Rin, and Rin nodded in response. When I saw that, I was frustrated with what was going on.

“Joo-hyeok, can I give you one piece of advice?”

“Yeah, what is it…”

“From now on, drink in moderation. Avoid excessive drinking at all costs.”

I put on an expression that I didn’t know what I was talking about, and the girls seemed relieved for some reason.

With so many suspicious memories that only I didn’t know about, the carriage was running without hesitation toward the village of Felter.

***

A few days later, we were able to safely arrive at Felter Village without any problems.

“This isn’t much, but take it.”

When I was told to wait for a while, Kevin handed me a small money bag. It contained about 20 silver coins.

“I paid for the order in advance and received it. It is exactly half of the 40 silver coins requested, so please at least understand.”

“No, why did this to us…”

“If you look closely, it is all thanks to Mr. Ju-hyeok that he changed his destiny of living as a slave for the rest of his life in that village into a meticulous plan. Rather, I am sorry for giving less.”

“No, I can’t get it like this…”

“I know you lost all your money. You have nothing to say.”

It must have been the same for Kevin and his party that all the money was taken away, but it was burdensome to receive it this way.

“Yes, please accept Joo Hyuk. You can think of it as an apology for my mistake last time. With that money, I could buy a month’s worth of lodging and weapons for three people.”

Raymond, who had lost his flesh and muscles due to hard labor and was a bit smaller, spoke to me.

Yeah, since that bastard also says that, let’s accept it for now.

“I hope we can meet again, Mr. Joo Hyuk.”

“Me too, Kevin.”

“Then, we have to go on a security mission from now on. It’s unfortunate, but let’s break up here.”

After saying goodbye to the Del Crown Mercenary Corps, which we were quite familiar with, we turned our backs and took strong steps toward our respective missions.

For some reason, I had the feeling that I would meet them again.

Our destination was the adventurer’s guild.

A signboard with the words “Pelter Branch” written on the door caught my eye. Perhaps, this seemed to be part of the translation ability.

An idea flashed at the moment, but since it wasn’t something I wanted to try right away, I confidently entered the guild with the intention of registering as an adventurer first.

Inside the guild, the smell of sour alcohol that stings the nose, the smell of monster blood, and the sweat of tall adventurers all mixed together and gave off a strange smell.

Seeing the lively atmosphere, at first I wondered if I had entered the wrong bar, but seeing the receptionist, it seemed like the guild was right.

“What are you here for?”

“Ah, I’m here to register as an adventurer.”

“Please keep in mind that the tuition fee is 1 silver coin per person and is non-refundable. Do all three of you agree?”

The woman skillfully put on a business smile and asked us in a businesslike tone. We nodded without saying anything, and took three silver coins out of our pockets and put them in front of the woman.

“As for the ability measurement, if you stare at the crystal mirror in front of you for about a minute, the result will be automatically output.”

The woman kindly explained, and following her words, we came out one after another to check the results.

“The red-haired woman… everything else is normal, but her attack stats are pretty high! Considering that you are still an apprentice adventurer, these are very good measurements! And… this…! Hey, are you from the Holy Land of Davonnell?”

“I have never heard of such a country.”

“It’s strange… The item called piety is written as unmeasurable… but if it’s not loyalty to God, what the hell…”

Watching Rin tilt her head, I came up with a strong hypothesis, but the person herself didn’t seem to notice it.

“Secondly… the blonde woman has higher than average stats in skill and speed. It seems to have better compatibility with swords than other weapons.”

“It’s time to finally show off your original strength, wwwwwww”

Kyoko looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

Suddenly, for some reason, the mood was getting worse.

“And the last man…”

Finally my turn came.

I hoped that since Rin and Kyoko also had something special about them, there must be something about me.

“You are normal. That is all.”

then f*ck it

I didn’t even expect it in the first place.

“Oh, wait! There’s nothing special about the stats, but here’s an item with a question mark on it… I’ve never seen it before…”

In the item pointed out by the receptionist, the item marked with ‘?’ had a high statistic even at a glance.

“What’s this…”
