I Became the Hero of the Warrior Party

28 – Episode 25: The Demon Capital is Life! -5

As I expected, things went smoothly.

Ma Zon-Yeon lost all the trust he had built up until now as the incident of that day was stuffed in the village newspaper.

And exactly one week later, the building where Majonyeon used to be their headquarters was empty, and they disappeared somewhere.

This time, we were hunting witch beasts without anyone interfering. The other adventurers also seemed happy to release what had been suppressed for years.

Of course, that didn’t mean I wasn’t stressed at all.

“Chop’s swordsmanship is very poor ww”

“It is lamentable. After all, the sword skills of a small country cannot match that of a large country.”

As always, Kyoko and Rin’s tone of voice was still f*cked up.

Still, I got used to it to some extent, and now it was like everyday life.

“Don’t play and catch it quickly.”

I let their words go through one ear and cut a slime in front of me in half.

Then, a small magic stone popped out from within.

I naturally picked up the magic stone and put it in my leather pouch, wiping the sweat from my forehead.

“Joo Hyuk. I have something to say.”

“What is it?”

Then, Rin started calling me.

Not knowing why, I asked her.

“I wondered if it would be a good idea to change that weapon… Of course, people in large countries don’t care about weapons, but the current sword has become too dull. So if it’s okay…”

Rin hesitated for a moment, then showed me his sword and said.

He was making a lot of comments, but in the end, it seemed that Rin wanted to say that he wanted to use a good weapon.

Certainly, the state of the sword was not a word after the demonic yeon disappeared and subjugated the witches for several days in a row.

Including Rin’s knife, the knife in my hand right now was also useless with teeth missing in places.

“okay. I still have some silver coins left, and now I can expect to earn money as much as I worked hard, so I think it would be okay to buy weapons.”

“Really! Thank you Joo Hyuk! After the motherland and party, I believed in you!”

It would have been better not to add the last word.

Anyway, we were on our way back to the village with the magic stones of the monsters we just hunted.

Then, someone from behind put a hand on my shoulder.

Looking back, wanting to find someone, it was the same adventurer who said he helped us both physically and mentally during the Mazonyeon Incident.

“Here you are.”

“Uh…what’s your business…?”

To be honest, I was just taken aback when the guy, whom I wasn’t really close to, suddenly put his arm around my neck and started talking to me as if he were friendly.

Regarding Majonyeon, thank you for helping me already. Since the thank yous were over, there was no reason to talk further with that adventurer.

“I have an urgent confession to you.”

“What is that…”

The middle-aged adventurer looked serious.

Tightly tensed by the unusual atmosphere, I asked cautiously.

“Actually, on the day of Mazonyeon’s after party, there was a part that I couldn’t easily forget from the bar. So I had a serious talk with everyone here.”

The adventurer continued.

At the moment when I wondered what the hell he was talking about, I suddenly felt an ominous energy deep inside me.

Feeling strange, I scratched my head for nothing.

“Yes, so the unforgettable part is…”

I put that weird feeling behind and asked him, and he started to answer me without hesitation.

Every time his mouth moved, my expression began to harden in real time.

I’m listening to the story, but the words were so shocking that I doubted whether what I was hearing was real.

I hung my head and grasped the reality.

Damn, somehow things worked out so easily.

If I had experienced such luck in a world that had never been kind to me, I should have been suspicious.

This is probably why I fell for my trick.

“Did I hear it wrong…?”

I hope I’ve heard it wrong, and ask the confident adventurer.

“No, that’s what I heard! Even though it was a false figure created to destroy Mazonyeon, we were deeply moved by this idea of not eating the pitiful Witchbeast! So, we plan to establish a beast extermination association and continue this work.”

“So, like last time, I will go into the bar and continue protesting against eating monster meat, right?”

“of course! Besides, I plan to stop being an adventurer and focus on rescuing the beasts.”

“You f*cking bitches!”

How the f*ck did things go like this?

The effort I put in for two weeks was in vain in an instant.

I guess I should just leave this mouth alone.

Before I knew it, starting with the dark barbarian, I was now creating a new social evil.

“f*ck, I barely got rid of the monsters, but what? Are you bastards saving the monsters now? You f*cking ungrateful bastards!”

“Chop! Calm down!”

“Joo Hyuk, be patient! You haven’t even heard the story properly yet!”

I shouted loudly with a jjangdol around me.

Then, Kyoko grabbed my waist from behind, and Rin desperately restrained my arm holding the stone from the front.

“Let go f*ck! Witchbeasts, what’s next? The Witchbeast Rescue Alliance? f*ck this! How much effort did I expel those bastards from Majonyeon, damn it!”

“As expected, Chop’s patience is as small as the land wwwwww”

“Joo Hyuk, put down that stone first…”

I was suddenly annoyed at Kyoko’s joking words.

I shouted while hitting the honey chestnut on the crown of Kyoko’s head, who was holding on to her waist.

“Why are you hitting me! absurd!”

In an unfair voice, Kyoko was arguing with me.

“There is no other time to play! I’m f*cking pissed off right now, but it’s because I’m playing pranks next to you!”

“Eh… I don’t understand what you mean! I’m not kidding!”

“No f*ck, if it’s not a joke, it should be more right!”

Once again, I slammed the chestnut into Kyoko’s head.

Kyouko, who was crouching on the ground and covering her head, was looking up at me with a worldly unfair expression.

Not knowing that it was a misunderstanding stemming from the translator given by the goddess, I felt like losing my mind at the hopeless reality I was facing.

…

It was after quite some time had passed since that day that we drove out even the Beast Rescue Alliance and finally won a peaceful village.

***

Feltrofin Kingdom.

It was a country with the smallest proportion of territory among the human allies, and at the same time, it had the most shabby military power on the continent.

On this day, unprecedented loud noises were coming and going at the war report held in Roteles, the capital.

“How did this happen! Please explain right away, Sir Leitel!”

“Well, surely the hero’s prophecy was not wrong! Do you mean to say that the renowned prophet Paretwells is giving false prophecies?”

“So, bring a warrior, that’s what I mean! Luperia, the kingdom of beasts, has already begun to fall! At this rate, the demons will reach our Feltrohein Kingdom before long!”

The beginning of this story goes back several months.

It began with the prophecy of the great prophet Palette Wells that a hero who would save humans cornered by the demons would come to this world at the call of the goddess.

Palette Wells’ prophecy had a 100% accuracy rate, so all battles and operations depended on his words.

Such a great prophet declared that a hero who would save mankind would be summoned from the territory of the Feltrofin Kingdom.

In fact, this was no different from a tremendous force for the human allies who were being pushed back by the demons.

Rumors had already spread that a hero would be summoned from the Feltrohein Kingdom to the Allies, so they had to find the hero.

However, until now, nearly 5 months after the prophecy, not even a strand of the hero’s hair could be found.

“It’s not just that. It is said that a saintess has already been summoned from the Davonell Castle Kingdom.”

“This is not an issue to be overlooked! If, due to the heroic prophecy, forces within the Allied Powers that are currently friendly to us turn their backs on the Davonnell Kingdom, the position of our Feltrofin Kingdom in the international situation will be further weakened!”

To make matters worse, the neighboring country, the Holy Land of Davonell, delivered the news that they had successfully summoned an unprecedented saint.

This is a very good thing for the Allies.

However, from an international point of view, it became an excuse for the Davonnell kingdom to exert influence over the allies.

If the Davonnell Kingdom noticed that the Feltrohein Kingdom hadn’t found a hero, the Allies’ initiative could have passed to them.

“Her Highness the Queen! Please make your decision!”

The woman sitting on the throne bowed her head.

Deep in thought, she seemed to ponder for a moment, then raised her head.

“Find the hero. somehow You don’t have to choose the means. Find the warrior faster than other countries. On the day we hand over our warriors to other countries, the heads of everyone here will be displayed in the square.”

The eyes of the queen, Renia Paltrofin, hardened.

The current Feltrohein Kingdom was one of the weaker countries that barely entered the Allied Powers.

A country that could be invaded by neighboring countries at any time, unless the entire country on the continent of Feltracia was facing an unprecedented enemy called the demon tribe.

Her father, the former king, also worked hard to solve the fundamental problem, but he handed over the kingship to the young woman and died of illness without achieving any results.

In such a situation, the hero’s existence was nothing short of a miracle.

According to an ancient legend, a hero is said to have the fighting power to destroy a nation.

If he had that hero, he would have a military power that even the Croyelle Empire, the true power of the continent, could not ignore.

Handing over such a hero to another country was never tolerated.

No matter what, never.

“Find the hero no matter what. No matter what happens, we must first find the hero in the Feltroheen Kingdom.”
