I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

14 – The king will clean up the horse manure

A little earlier than the king was in anguish over his horse dung-stained tunic, sentries watching the air from the top of the tower saw the gargoyles roaming around like crows, screaming as if they had been burned, and flying high.

After a while, the gargoyle flew away so far that not even a shadow could be seen.

“no way… Has the tea curtain been restored?”

The sky where pure white clouds flowed instead of demons. Humanity realized once again how great a blessing this alone was.

The well that had bottomed out was filled with water again, and mills and factories that had been stopped started operating again.

Everyone felt it.

The champion has returned—

How hard has the past week been? The size of the preciousness corresponds to the size of the discomfort you feel when you lose it.

Drinking water, farming, and seeing the open sky.

With this opportunity, everyone thoroughly realized how precious an ordinary daily life without anything special or boastful is.

Having lost it once and regained it, it is natural that you do not want to lose it again.

It was the common mind of all the people that a world without heroes could not be tolerated anymore.

At this time when everyone should rejoice and bless the birth of a new hero, what if someone who opposes the hero appears? What if the hero gets upset because of that person and reaps the blessing? That guy is burning.

——Even if it is the king.

“Keugh… ! And, didn’t Gwain apologize for being sorry? Do you still need to go this far?”

“5.”

“Look… I mean we’re all in the same boat now. Your activity fee! Don’t you know it all comes from my wallet?”

“4.”

“Heroes have been sponsored by the royal palace for generations! You can’t ignore that tradition, can you?!”

“3.”

“Hey Faust!!! No matter how brave you are, there are lines you must protect!”

“2.”

“Keugh… Got it. let’s have a conversation Let’s find an agreement with each other. Wouldn’t it be too much for you to ask the king to clean up horse manure?”

“One.”

“… Do you really want to try it!”

“0. end. Reap a blessing, just.”

The only thing that matters is the will of the hero.

When the hero’s heart leaves, the blessing disappears as well.

It is such a system.

The gargoyles that had disappeared swarmed again, giggling, the well dried up and the windmill stopped.

The sound of people screaming and banging their foreheads echoed all over the country. Of course, even in the royal palace.

“Ah-oh! Just do what the hero tells you to do!!”

“?! Who just said something stupid!!”

Perhaps it was a young soldier’s sudden, childish action. The words that everyone had been thinking about but couldn’t say came out of nowhere.

The king tried to find the culprit with the will to pay for it, but once it caught fire, public sentiment started to spread like wildfire.

“What is a mess? Isn’t that too much to say?’

“right. Can’t we just clean up some horse manure?”

“Should we all die for the king’s pride?”

“Honestly, Faust has been through a lot of sadness, but he must want to solve it himself. Do I understand?”

“As soon as the blessing returns after leaving something else, the political power that makes this sadal comes out with a sigh.”

“Humanly, if Faust wanted to kill the king, I wouldn’t know, but asking him to clean up the horse dung isn’t too hard, so can’t he do it?”

“It’s really selfish… ”

The saying of truth that penetrates human psychology is—”It’s all right if it’s not me.”

If the king could live comfortably and safely by cleaning up horse manure, there was not a single person who would not be satisfied with that.

Rather, it was only those who did not want to suffer damage because they were caught up in the king’s trivial pride.

“Oh, no… Look. I am your king. you guys… I am your pride!! Is it okay to be in charge of cleaning up horse manure?”

““… … … … … .””

“Tell me something!!!”

“Oh, it’s really noisy.”

Faust scratched the back of his head and delivered the final blow.

“If Carlos doesn’t change into a tunic within the next 10 seconds, I’ll disappear and never come back. I’m not kidding. Count ten seconds.”

“Fuck it! Who wears dirty clothes like that…!!”

“Just put some on, Your Highness!!”

“Are you going to kill us all!!”

“Oh just!! Forcibly put it on!!!”

A crowd of dozens rushed at Carlos.

Dignified Carlos de Aurelia. Even touching the jade body was severely punished as a serious crime, and the crowd ripped off its clothes, grabbed its limbs, and forcibly put it on a dirty tunic.

“for a moment!! you guys… ! Where are you touching!! I know who Jim is!! All of you will be sentenced to death!! These bastards!!”

So many hands went through him that he couldn’t even check who dared to touch the king’s body.

“These guys… these guys… Dare to the wine… your faces… I remember everything… certainly… I will destroy the three tribes… ”

With his coat removed and his body covered in a tunic, Carlos looked like a shabby middle-aged worker. It seemed that there would be no sense of incongruity at all even if I put it in the stable. It is said that clothes are wings, but after taking off one layer, the king is the same person in the end.

… Even so, I was worried. Even if it is like this now, the king is a feared dictator who wields tyrannical power.

It wouldn’t be strange if he actually wielded a blade of revenge against the people gathered here.

Even if not as much as the hero, it was the same thing that it had to look good to the king. However, Faust would not tolerate even that.

“ruler. From now on, Mr. Carlos will officially become a stable cleaner for six months. If Carlos says he doesn’t like it or refuses to work, I’ll reap my blessing at that moment, so keep that in mind. The thing I hate the most is the slick bastards with no substance? What I mean is, I’m going to lose my temper if Carlos stays in the stables and actually continues to act like a king. Make sure not only Carlos himself, but also treat Carlos as a horse manure cleaner. If you treat me special while talking about something like that… You know I don’t have to talk anymore, right?’

“What! Yes you bastard Faust!!”

“You bastard Faust?”

“There is a limit to scorning wine!”

Faust kicked the running king’s pubic bone with the sole of his foot. Everyone’s jaw dropped at the terrifying sight.

“How dare you be a dumbass.”

“Oops!”

Another shot at Carlos, who stood up.

“Speaking flatly to the warrior,”

“That, stop!”

He stepped on the fallen Carlos’ stomach with his foot and pressed it down.

It was a situation that dared to look down on the king below.

“Are you sleepy? Are you crazy? do you have no top or bottom? Do you still think you are the king?”

“… … … … .”

“It can’t be, kid. I guess I can’t understand my situation.”

It was necessary to publicly humiliate Carlos to completely destroy his pride and dignity.

“The people gathered here come forward one by one and say one word to Carlos, saying that he is a brat. practice.”

“The buzzard!”

“Misha, you don’t have to.”

A nearby soldier was selected and approached first. He looked at Faust with a very troubled expression and let out a deep sigh.

“… No, horse dung… snarl… ”

“OK. OK, next!”

The next people started being called one by one. Nobles and young ladies, bureaucrats and soldiers spit out vulgar curses at the king and return to their seats. The surprising phenomenon is that at first, there was an atmosphere of awkwardness or discomfort, but as time passed, everyone naturally called the king a “horse poop” in front of the king.

There were even people who added unsolicited choo-im-sae, such as “Please clean the stable” and “Good job!”

The king, too, at first showed a spirit of vengeance later with angry eyes, but later turned into a weak face like a frail old man who looked 20 years older than his original age. The original place is the law that makes a person.

“Hey Carlos. For half a year from now, you will not be the king. Got it? If you clean the stable well for half a year, you might be put back in the king’s seat… ”

“Well, then who sits on the throne… Warrior.”

“It’s none of your business. Run to the stable immediately.”

“… … … ”

“GO!!”

When Faust screamed, Carlos, who had been hesitant, tripped over and fell at his own feet. Seeing the ugliness, many people said they could not stand the ridicule.

The king fell like this. A new life was waiting for him starting at the stable.

Even though I thought it might be a little harsh, when I recalled the conversation I had with the king in this palace a few years ago, that thought went into my head.

At the time when Kwak Dong-soo started harassing Faust in earnest, he asked for help from the king, who was not inferior to a warrior.

The king left the word to wait and called Faust a few days later.

“How was it? Did things work out? I have no intention of fighting Dongsu. I just want to travel around the world and do my own research. Please help me so that fellow initiates don’t bully me.”

“Oh, I mean… It’s concluded. It’s your fault.”

“… Yeah? Is it my fault?”

I still vividly remember how nasty the king was back then, when he gently touched Kaiser’s beard and rolled his eyes pretending not to know.

“Well… yes. According to the hero, you are jealous of the hero and hinder him at every step. Then write it, man. No matter how much he doesn’t do anything and feels inferior, that’s the case.”

“I feel inferior to Kwak Dong-soo? That bastard is an asshole who scammed his relatives into buying a cell phone and got caught and insulated from it? He was kicked out of his house and whined about having nowhere to go, so he didn’t even pay back the money he lent him to pay for the high school exam, so I went to his house to pay him back. Please don’t joke.”

“Hmmm… I don’t know what you’re talking about. It seems that you have developed a sense of resentment from playing and eating.”

“Are you playing? Do you really not know who I became unemployed for? Kwak Dong-soo at the academy… ”

“I mean, stop blaming others and do some self-reflection!!!”

Faust had nothing more to say when the king screamed as if he had boiled a train firebox. In the first place, it seems that the king had no intention of listening to this side.

“It’s hard for us to feed two of you, too! I spent almost all of the national budget summoning you guys!! Aren’t you not working and paying taxes like cattle!”

“Livestock?”

“yes! Livestock!! You are nothing but cattle!! So let’s take care of the same livestock and experience the hardships of humans. I want to give you the job of cleaning up horse manure.”

“Look at this, Your Highness the King. What have I been called here for? Wasn’t it the hero’s spare?”

“Well. By the way?”

“If the hero dies, I will become the hero. How are you going to handle it then?”

“Heh heh heh!! Are you going to take revenge? The dream is also wild. The age of the warrior is not even thirty years old now. I will live comfortably for the next 50 years! Heh heh heh!!”

“You don’t know the world, so don’t be too confident.”

“Stop talking nonsense and clean up the horse manure in the stable. You mean… too cheeky I need to learn a little bit about the world. What are you pretending to be so good for? Go and do hard labor and reflect on yourself.”

“… There may come a day when you will regret it.”

“Heh heh heh! Don’t worry because that kind of day won’t come, clean up the horse manure!!”

—From that day on, Faust was unable to travel or study as much as he wanted because he was working at the stable. Thinking about that, today’s revenge was rather benign.

“It’s not over yet… ”

yeah, it’s not over yet When a new hero is born, the natural next step is to form a hero party.

indeed

who

Will you be selected as a new party member?

The right to personnel affairs is the sole responsibility of the warrior.

Everyone’s attention is on the formation of the new party members, but the old bottles need to be cleaned in order to put the new wine in the new bottles.

Faust had told them to invite all the members of the party Kwak Dong-soo had organized here in advance.

“Beatrice, Dina, Alice, Serena. come forward all From now on, I will hold a hearing to find out who stole my thesis.”
