Running Away From The Hero!

# 5 Their Reason: Athia Nell Karan's Reason

“What? The Demon King showed up? ”

“That's right.”

I tilted my head at the messenger's haste.

“Leah, wasn't the Demon King an astronaut? ”

“Perhaps you came across the continent because you realized your heart? ”

“Him? No way."

Leah spoke up to make me feel better, but I knew the reality. The fact that he avoids me at all costs unless I'm reborn.

“Still feels good. Thank you, Leah. ”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

I felt better, just saying.

“Your Majesty... the kingdom of Marid has fallen. No survivors have been found in the capital of its origin, and many nearby cities have been destroyed and displaced by refugees. ”

Leah said she wanted to feel warm, but the messenger didn't want to leave it alone.

The words that frowned and sped out as if this was not the time for this were dangerous and urgent.

“What's that? ”

For the northern kingdoms.

“Yes?”

“It happened in the Northern Kingdom. We'll deal with it from the north.”

“The Demon King. The Evil Demon King who follows evil gods! ”

“I know. I always knew I was the Demon King who brought destruction to the world. ”

The Demon King who inherited the power of evil gods had several times in the past.

They had all destroyed three or four kingdoms, and the most powerful Demon King had driven them right before he destroyed one race.

“But I always managed to stop them. ”

“Your Majesty……. ”

You threw out your hand and chased away the messenger.

I know exactly what the messenger wants to say.

Humans must gather their strength to stop evil gods.

As the world's greatest power, the Karean Empire must be at the heart of it.

And that's...

“Bullshit.”

“Your Majesty… again…. ”

Leah frowns and starts cursing at Ast.

“Your Grace, that's enough talk for Ser Ast. If I find out that a noble person like you uses such a word... ”

“What would happen if I knew? ”

I quickly blocked Leah's nagging as she got older.

“Everyone will keep their mouths shut and say nothing. ”

Ugh...

I nodded satisfactorily as I sighed and saw Leah telling the truth.

“Yes. Leah's the only one in the empire who can say anything to me. ”

“Praise... is that you? ”

“Yes. It's very difficult to say what you want to say to someone with absolute power. Not as loyal as Leah. ”

“I'll take that as a yes. ”

He said that, but his eyes were full of doubts.

“Leah doesn't trust people very much. I haven't done this before... ”

“It's all because of Sir Ast. ”

Leah nods bitterly.

However, if there were one or two things that had happened to the astronaut, the human nature would change.

“Ah... I miss Leah who was naive. It used to be teasing. It's been decreasing lately.”

“I'm not who I was. I'm a grown man now. ”

Talking gracefully was pretty cool.

It was also Leada, who had not missed the top ranking of the Knights who wanted to resemble the best elected by the Empire Chiefs for 20 years.

“Yes. It's a shame the only thing you can make fun of now is marriage problems. ”

“Ugh... ”

Leah's body flutters violently.

Leah was getting stronger as she got older, but she remained a mental attack on the marriage issue.

No, it was like the mental damage was also rising, in proportion to the body getting stronger.

“I, Your Majesty……. ”

Leah, who is stumbling and unable to lift her head, said in a frowning, dying voice.

“Y-you know that's not what you're going to say? ”

“Huff...! ”

Suddenly, your mouth shuts in an unexpected response.

“Your marriage is long overdue! ”

Leah, the continental prosecutor, made a fierce attack without missing the gap.

“Beyond the age you once mocked me, you are now heading towards the mid-30s! ”

“Damn……. ”

At Leah's words, I had no choice but to utter profanity.

It was something I wanted to forget, but I didn't expect it to be this pointed out.

“I never thought Leah would say that.... ”

The shock of being betrayed by the closest loyalty was so great.

“You started it first. No matter how much I tell you, I cannot forgive you. ”

Seeing Leah's firm resolve, I didn't take out my mouth what I was about to say.

“Okay, I get it. I'll be careful from now on. ”

I could retaliate, but it seemed like Leah would really run away.

It seems resolute from the outside, but I've been watching for a long time.

That resolution is the jeans of multiplication. He risked everything to hide his appearance before collapsing on the inside.

“Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this? ”

As soon as I finished, it was Leah who was speeding away.

“Of course. The North and Empire are pretty far apart. ”

“That's not it. Are you sure you don't want to help? ”

“We should help Nathan the Kingdom. You're my ally, right?”

Leah sighs, holding her forehead as if she had a headache, because she answered too lightly.

“An evil god. The world could perish. ”

Leah said it was a rather serious story, but to be honest, I looked more serious when I was talking about marriage problems earlier.

“If the world was doomed to perish without us, it would have been doomed a long time ago. ”

That's why it's such a story.

There was something more important to me now.

“Blasphemers will rise against the Empire. ”

“A country with a lot of grumbling people anyway. It doesn't matter if it grows a little more. Rather, there will be many who wait for us to fight the Demon King and become weak. ”

It would have been the same opinion even if Astor was next to him.

No, he would have said, "Sacrifice some other kingdoms, tire the Demon King, then attack and get nothing but credit."

Ast used to call it 'Makta’ in professional terms.

“Is Sir Ast more important than the world? ”

“That's not true. Without the world, you get an asthma boost, and there's no place to be together. ”

Therefore, it is difficult for the world to perish. As long as all the places where the astronauts could flee are destroyed, it is appropriate.

“The basis of the evil god's apostle is to stop each cult's warriors together. You need the power of God to attack a Demon King that doesn't have magic powers. ”

The Demon God fragment, the Demon King, was one that could not be attacked by sword, magic, even by steel and ancient spells.

All an ordinary soldier or knight can do is fight evil monsters so that the warriors who borrowed the power of God can comfortably fight the Demon King.

You don't need to use Empire Soldiers for that kind of work.

“But there must be a request from the temple. ”

“Yes. So we need to use a hand that we can use. You've been taking good care of the priests of the Church of Nature, haven't you? ”

Ast also said.

Those who don't work, don't eat.

Since you have been treated with the highest quality, it is time for the members of the Church to start working.

“No way…. ”

“Yes. The true name of the Cult of Nature warrior Swin is Lina Rell Swin. Immediate descendants of Empire's proud Grand Duke. ”

“But isn't he with Lord Ast on the continent? ”

“I think I crossed the border at dawn yesterday. It must have been confirmed by the God of Nature from the moment it crossed the continent. ”

Immediately this morning, a saint of the Church of Nature, named Hill Shuttle, came running to him and said,

I'm less trustworthy because it involves an astronaut, but I'm still a saint of a cult. Even an Astra can't make a saint of a cult lie naturally.

If that's even possible, even the Demon King as an apostle of the Evil Gods is worth it.

“We support the priesthood of nature. ”

“… and capturing the Cult of Nature warriors, extracting information. ”

“That's Leah! ”

I smiled slightly at Leah, grunting and asking her if she could do this.

“You don't have to worry too much. It wouldn't be a bad idea to defeat the Demon King of the Mad continent before capturing him. ”

If you really think the world is going to end, I will defeat the Demon King.

Leah looks relieved to hear you say that.

“Glad to hear it.”

“Yeah. It's not fair for me, Leah, to die without getting married. ”

“Your Majesty!"

I heard Leah scream and smiled in a cheerful way.

# 6 Their Reason: Leah Reel Arrays' Reason

Immediately after my conversation with the king, I met Saint Hill of Nature and his colleague Elf Selena to convey the king's will.

I gave them 100 escorts and ordered them to give me the warriors of the Order of Nature... No, help me find them.

Similar to incarceration so far.

Nevertheless, we asked the saints to accompany us because we have work to do, and they were very happy to accept our request.

It is because the God of Nature has been entrusted with the ability of a warrior to turn his back and flee.

The interests of each other are aligned.

That day, enough supplies and support from the Church of Nature and 100 escorts left the capital city of the Empire.

A few days later, I received a call that I had found a warrior, Swin, on an unnamed mountain.

When you think of Sir Ast, it's very fast.

It was a moment when it was proven that God's hand could not be avoided unless it was near an evil god that God could not reach and was not on the continent.

Well, I guess the warrior was pretty rebellious, too, but I guess the escorts took care of it.

Even a dinosaur was a solo warrior, but it seemed impossible to defeat 100 summoners from Eugracia.

And the captive warrior was reported to have requested it, not… torture, but negotiation to tell you about the events of the year.

According to the report, the warrior Swin was very happy to share all the information he knew.

“Surprisingly……. ”

And as I was organizing the information, I found something unexpected.

“I can't believe I caught Master Mira. I can't even see the continent that easily. ”

A key member of the AST Kidnapping Squad, and Master Mira was captured that I could not even fathom.

Recently, there have been no reports coming in from the Horse Continent, so I was looking for a good restaurant and going to a place where the Magical Power transmission couldn't reach, but it seems that Sir Ast has caught me and is using it as he would like.

“Should I send more people to the continent...? ”

Walls appear on the border of a continent that was once gone, and hundreds of Demon Kings are now the only ones left.

That's where even Master Mira can be caught!

Do you really have the talent to send there?

“It's a matter I can't judge on my own anyway. ”

I organized the report and went to the king's room.

When I knock lightly and tell the servant what I came for, the door opens.

“Welcome, Leah. It's a little late for that.”

“Reports have come from the men dispatched to the warrior. It is said that you have secured a warrior. ”

“The power of God is at ease. People are easy to find. ”

I quickly stopped the charge, interested in the power of God.

“Even the power of that god cannot find the Ast. ”

“I know that. ”

The look on his face that he knows is such a waste!

If he hadn't stepped up, he would have forced a few saints or warriors into custody and threatened to use God's power to catch Sir Astor.

“Here you go. ”

“Yes."

I gave the information I worked hard to organize to you.

All you have to do is leave what you need, and check out the rest of the useless stuff with me and other headmasters or military figures.

So, after confirming the report that had only summarized the contents of Sir Ast, he thought of something with a serious expression.

“That's weird.”

“Sir Ast has always been strange. No matter what you do, it's not weird. ”

“No, that's not it. ”

He thought of something more and ordered me to bring a map of the continent.

“Watch this. ”

The King unfolded the map and said, taking a picture of one place.

“The Kingdom of Marade begins, and the kingdom continues……. ”

“Huh?"

The Demon King's movements, not Sir Ast's.

Usually I would have left it out of the report, but this time it was put together because it was related to the warrior Swin.

“Here, take a look. ”

In red ink, the Demon King's path and the charge that followed the path forward pointed to the end of the map.

And at the end of it,

“Bubellion?”

The end of the path that leads in a straight line. It was pointing to the last town of Bubellion.

“Coincidence?”

I could not say anything to His Majesty.

He's probably thinking about what I'm thinking about.

“The Demon King is on his way to Bubellion? I don't think so. ”

“So am I. ”

“Yes. Perhaps this Demon King has a high chance of making it to the Marathon. ”

It was a different act than that of the Demon King who destroyed everything in sight.

“That's strange.”

“Yeah, it's weird. But... what if it has to do with Ast? ”

“I'm confident I'll take it for granted. ”

It was Lord Ast who had always abandoned common sense.

Someone else, Lord Astor, wouldn't be surprised if he knew an evil god.

“There's one more reason to leave the Demon King alone. ”

And the Demon King, whom we had left behind, fled across the border to the Marathon as expected.
