I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero

chapter 12



12 – Warrior Party after Allan left (3) – Doubt

It must have been about an hour since we entered the dungeon.

It seems that you have reached about half of the dungeon.

In fact, at most a c-class dungeon, with the children’s skills, they could quickly break through such a c-class dungeon, and if they did, they would have arrived in front of the owner of the dungeon by now…

“Can’t we go faster, sir?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s dangerous. This is a dungeon. Cultivate the habit of always moving carefully.”

“If the teacher says so…”

As I said before, I never intended to force my children to do anything.

You should never ignore the dungeon.

Anything can happen in a dungeon, and those who don’t prepare for it are just taking responsibility with their lives.

In a way, I also came to the dungeon to tell them about those things.

“Should we eat soon?”

“Yes…”

Anyway, I think it’s almost time for lunch.

My stomach started to get hungry, so it wouldn’t be bad to have a meal in the dungeon.

Our party sat down and each took out a packed lunch from his backpack.

“Mmm…! It’s delicious.”

As expected, eating a boxed lunch after working hard must be a delight.

The children enjoyed their meal so much.

I also knew the taste, so I couldn’t help but watch it with satisfaction.

I was like that when I first entered the dungeon too.

That’s how we continued our meal.

In the meantime.

“Mr. Alan, I have a question… Can I ask you something?”

Seria looked at me as if she was interested.

By the way, Seria was very interested in the warrior party, right?

It seems like there are a lot of things to ask me during this spare time.

“Yes. Ask me anything.”

While waiting for something to ask, Seria asked about the demon lord.

Well, since nothing is known about the Demon King, you might be curious.

Since you seem very curious, it wouldn’t hurt to let you know.

So what should I ask?

While thinking about that, what Seria asked was a pretty important question.

“Have you ever… Met the Demon King?”

Seria asks about the Demon King.

Certainly, being the demon king in the warrior party was the most important question that could not be left out.

Because that’s also the goal the warrior party was formed in the first place.

However, in comparison, nothing was known about the Demon King.

No one knows the devil.

Because I’ve never met you before.

Because if we meet, we will die.

“Hmm… Of course there is.”

Of course, I have met the Demon King.

I’m not proud of it, but I’m the only one who survived the encounter with the demon king.

“Wow… How was it? Was the demon king strong?”

Seria admires my words. Sarah’s eyes sparkled.

He seemed to want to know about the demon lord.

The question of whether the demon king was strong…

I had no choice but to give the obvious answer to that question.

“That queen… Was really, really strong.”

“Demon king was strong?”

“Yes… Maybe, that demon king is the strongest demon king ever…”

I have only met the demon king once.

When the warrior party was defeated in the confrontation with the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon King appeared to us.

At that time, the demon king I saw for the first time was really terrifyingly strong.

To the point where I wonder if such a creature could even exist…

I’ve heard all the legends of the previous demon kings.

She was so strong that it was incomparable to the demon lord mentioned in the legend.

Perhaps she was a monstrous creature that no one could stand against on a 1:1 basis…

This was an unmistakable fact.

At that time, there was nothing I could do but take the party members and run away using the scroll while blocking the demon lord’s attack.

Even that was possible because I was a tanker, but it wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t a tanker.

“If Teacher Alan says that… He’s really strong…”

Seria’s expression became serious after hearing my words.

The reaction was that I didn’t expect the demon king to be that strong.

And when that happens…

“Then isn’t the warrior’s party very dangerous?”

Isn’t the warrior’s party automatically becoming dangerous?

Won’t the warrior party lose? I have no choice but to think.

Seria’s reaction was natural.

But, of course, there was no need to worry.

“No. There is no need to worry. The warrior party will never be defeated by the demon king.”

No matter how strong the demon king is, the warriors’ party was never a party that went smoothly.

I don’t think it would be bad to praise the warrior party to Seria at this point.

“First of all, the fighter of the warrior party, Andros. He is really strong. His ability is fighter, and the more he attacks, the stronger he gets.”

Once at a party, Andros was the same guy as me.

He was the best man in the world in terms of fighting.

Although he does not use weapons, his range is very short, but his attack power is equal to that of the hero or, depending on the conditions, he is a great man.

Of course… It’s a problem to reveal a little girl.

It’s a downside that my head can’t turn that way, but…

Well, that’s about it, it wasn’t such a big deal compared to that guy’s strengths.

“Also, Mage Elina is really good at magic. She’s not a genius of the Mage Tower for nothing.”

And in the case of Elina, she was also a wizard I recognized.

The Mage Tower, where great wizards are said to be gathered. As the mage who occupied the top spot in the Mage Tower, there was absolutely no way he wasn’t great.

She was a really great researcher. She knows how to use over 1000 kinds of magic, and the utilization is really disregarded.

Of course… I’ve been in the Mage Tower for too long, and I’ve learned how to fight at my desk.

It is a downside to come up with a strategy that is far from reality, but…

Still, her magical skills are not a lie. If only she uses her well, she can sufficiently suppress the Demon King’s power.

“Nera, like a saint, becomes really strong when she receives her buffs.”

And the saintess of the party is also a really great person.

Her buff makes the warrior party much stronger.

Befitting a saint, the blessings of God that she performs are often quite different.

She didn’t have any particular flaws.

On the contrary, there were so many advantages.

She was a common sense person like me and led the party together.

Honestly, he was a party member who prevented Andros and Elina from having an accident together with me.

I think even if I’m not there, she’ll probably lead me well.

“The thief Miner… Haa…”

The cat thief who stole 10 billion of my money…

If you meet after defeating the real demon king, you should rip off his tail.

It was the moment when revenge was promised again.

“Why are you sighing, Mr. Allan?”

“No.”

“He’s amazing too…”

Let’s put that aside for now, and while we’re praising him, we should also do Miner.

There was no doubt that Miner, a thief, was also a pretty great woman.

In the first place, everyone in her warrior party had the experience of robbing her of her money, so her skills are amazing.

Her fighting power isn’t very high, but if she uses her well, she can make her Demon King’s army suffer in many ways.

Of course, when it comes to worrying about her money, she doesn’t really use her strength.

Because of her thoughts, her movements become very dull.

But if you don’t have any worries, she was a thief who led the party to victory with more cool judgment than anyone else.

“Lina needless to say.”

And in the case of Rina, there really isn’t anything else to say.

As the strongest hero, she possesses deceitful abilities.

‘Ability of Hitting.’

‘Deadly ability.’

With the combination of the two abilities and the hero’s blessing, she is considered the strongest hero of all time.

Although she is the fiancee who dumped me, this was the correct answer in an objective assessment.

She must be a much better warrior than I am.

“The Demon King is also a monster, but the warrior party is also a monster no less.”

Anyway, the warrior party didn’t have to worry at all.

Not all of them are without problems, but they have many strengths enough to overcome them.

I think he’ll probably be able to defeat the demon lord without me.

“No need to worry at all?”

No matter how monstrous the Demon King is, I couldn’t look down on my comrades.

“I see… You don’t have to worry at all, do you?”

Seria’s expression softened after hearing my words.

She let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that she has become more reliable in the warrior party.

While such a friendly atmosphere was spreading.

Luna, who was listening to the story, spat out a word with her expressionless face.

“It’s strange…”

Well well…

Luna is eating her lunch with her eyes closed.

She said one word with an expression of disinterest.

“What’s strange? Luna?”

Seria tilted her head at Luna’s words.

She didn’t know what the hell was wrong.

And in response to her question, Luna spoke slowly.

“I’m out of balance…”

That the party is strange.

“3 Dealers, 1 skirmisher, 1 healer…? There’s no line… A ruined party…”

What Luna meant by her words was that the party was out of balance.

Certainly, her words were correct.

Andros, Elina, Raina. 3 Dealers.

Miner, one scout.

Nera. 1 Priest.

A total of 5 people in the party meant that the balance itself was not right.

“I heard that…”

“Hmm… It looks like we need a tanker like Mr. Allan…”

Leeden and Seria quickly understood that.

And looked at me.

That problem happened because I, the tank of the party, didn’t exist.

“Ah. Of course they must have noticed that problem.”

Of course, I didn’t think of that either.

But isn’t that enough thought?

It was such an easy problem that I didn’t even have to think about it.

“Of course he saved a tanker party member.”

Of course, if he had an idea, he would have saved a party member.

Because that’s the natural answer.

Even if you’re not a tanker like me, it was just a matter of finding a suitable tanker.

Of course… I’m sure the party members will object.

Andros is a lustful person, so he probably hates recruiting party members.

Elina opposes it because she wants to become the lord of the Mage Tower, and she doesn’t want her activity to diminish.

Miner will oppose it because the money that comes back to him is small.

‘Well… It’ll work out anyway.’

But, of course, I think that Raina will guide the opinions of the party members well.

Rina is the leader of the party right now, so everything goes as she decides.

And Nera is on her side. She probably thinks that she will coordinate well with Nere and convince the party members.

“But… What if the five of us go to defeat the Demon King?”

At my words, Leeden asked a question slightly questionable.

“No way…They won’t take it to the demon lord with 5 people without a tank, right?”

I thought the question was too meaningless.

I trust my colleagues.

Although they have some problems, they are really great and trustworthy colleagues.
