Running Away From The Hero!

After persuading the warrior as well as the shuttle, I headed to the nearby kingdom's mercenary guild.

“There's a lot of people walking around. ”

“It's a strange place. ”

It was a unique place, as the shuttle said.

Despite the differences between the Demon King's activities and the streets, ordinary citizens try not to leave their homes.

It's not safe to be home.

As long as you don't have a preliminary evacuation route like me, it's better to run out of the castle than to be at home.

But what does home look like to an ordinary person?

It is a place of mind, a place of childhood memories, and the touch of the ancestors.

There are not many commoners who can throw away the land they have taken with sweat for a long time.

- Is it because the owner doesn't have one?

- I don't think so.

- Is that right?

Even if a place full of history and tradition were my home, if there were a crisis to come, I would not even think about it. It's because I have to live to see and feel history and tradition.

Of course, even if I survive, there is no guarantee that there will be a place with history and tradition!

“Are they mercenaries, too? ”

As a mercenary risking his life for money, he travels normally in the days of the Demon King.

No. This would be a better time for mercenaries. There's no better time for a mercenary to make money than war.

Well, it doesn't matter that the unit price is expensive.

“Hire all mercenaries managed by this guild. Costs 10 times the usual. The goal is to fight the forces of evil gods. ”

Because...

“The amount shall be paid in full by the Church of Nature. ”

I have a warrior and a saint of nature, like a black card!

“Now, can you hold on a second? I can't deal with this.... ”

Guild personnel who have checked the Natural Cult's Token rush out. Soon after the guild master arrived, he said he would give the warriors and shuttles a serious look and inform the mercenaries of their mission.

And after a while.

“I'm a guild master. ”

The Guild Master is here.

“About 80 percent of the mercenaries voted for it. especially after death. ”

Often, when dealing with mercenaries, money is not paid after death.

Death is a very high chance of failure, and that is why you cannot pay for a failed mission.

Thus, even in the case of wars, most mercenaries still cling to victory, even if the losing side promises more money.

Fighting against the forces of evil gods is also a battle known as war.

If you want to call in mercenaries in such a battle, you'd better promise to pay a certain amount in advance as well as afterwards.

Of course, it wasn't my money, so it was possible!

“The biggest one is thinking about it, but it's not negative, so it should be fine. ”

“You mean the man they call the mercenary king? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

This city is famous for its many mercenaries among the nearby kingdoms, but a king. It was too grand a title.

“I hope he deserves the title of King. ”

“Once the entire mercenary squad is equipped with swords. He's a minority, but he better be good at it than he is at it. ”

“That's right."

To be honest, mercenaries were not fit to face the forces of evil gods.

Most people who learn combat from practice rather than professional training prefer the concept of defense rather than attack.

Kill before you die.

It's not a bad concept, but it's not good for an evil god army reinforced by evil.

Mercenaries that will be useful in Human vs. Human warfare, but even if they are weak in combat against evil gods, well trained soldiers will last longer.

“I'd like to meet him. ”

“I heard you were going to come find me yourself. ”

“Is that so?"

Knight-grade power to use a firearm in a situation like that. It was very good news.

“When can I see you? ”

“It will be tomorrow. ”

“Then I'll leave some time for tomorrow. ”

I had nothing else to do, but I needed to act like I was running around busy for the world.

The day after spending a day in a plush bed at such a luxurious inn.

“I'm supposed to meet him today. ”

I met a man named the mercenary king who opened the door after knocking a few times.

“Hmm?"

The mercenary king who came in looked very manly.

With the exception of the small knife marks left on the cheek, sharp eyes and strong impressive features are sufficient to impress the opposing Pokémon.

Why do you say he's handsome, but how well does he look when he's so well cared for?

It was a face that wouldn't be strange to call me handsome if I touched something a little bit.

How good is the owner's face?

- No, wait.

But there's something else.

There was something on that face that I thought I knew something about.

That's why the user ignores the bull's words and focuses on the opposing Pokémon's appearance.

Despite its magical power, its refined muscular body and large sword matching its height make a strong impression on its own.

That's why it was even stranger.

- What's the matter?

- I think I saw it somewhere......

It is neither blurry nor memorable to express a strong presence.

- So you've never seen him before?

- I don't think so.

I must have seen it somewhere....

“Master?”

“Hmm?"

As I gaze at the opponent silently, the warrior gazes at me, and the opponent who was exploring the warrior gazes at me.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

And the moment I saw the mercenary king's gaze, he tilted his head for a moment.

“Eh……. ”

0.5 seconds.

My eyes were shaking for less than a second.

That was enough. He knows me, too.

- What if it just got dusty?

- You don't think so?

It was a fleeting moment, but it was embarrassing to see me.

“I think I'm mistaken. I'm sorry.”

“Aren't you the mercenary king? ”

“A king. Not that great. ”

“Is that so?”

Shuttle, are you fooling me like that again?

I sighed a little while looking at the shuttle, but I smiled bitterly at him as the mercenary king.

“You know me, right? ”

“Hmm?"

The mercenary king, who stared at me for a moment, shakes his head.

“I've never seen you before. Do we know each other? ”

It was a natural act.

The scent of our side is getting stronger.

“We know each other. ”

To be honest, I still don't remember.

I may not remember because my opponent has changed so much, or in the worst case, I may have been mistaken.

But instinct is telling us.

There's a contact between him and me. And he's trying to hide it.

It usually hurts you to have something you want to hide.

And most of those things were also beneficial to the other side.

“Can we talk a little bit more? ”

When I get up from my seat with a smile full of certainty, my opponent's smoke breaks.

“I... I think I got it wrong. ”

The speech that had been weighing so far disappeared.

The mercenary king recognizes it sooner than anyone else, pulling out his Great Sword and swinging it around.

Boom!

The mercenary king who broke down the door, not us, tried to run away.

“You're not going anywhere! ”

There was a silver-girl iron in front of him.

“Hehe!”

He was a mercenary king who was frustrated to have someone in front of him, but his judgment was very swift. He struck the metal with the sword he was holding without hesitation.

“Ugh!”

“Grr!”

The screams of the little girl and the screams of the thick man resound.

But the screams of the girl were artificially made by anyone who heard them, and the screams of the man were terribly full of pain even those who heard them.

“Oh, my gosh! Marlin! Hit the girl! How dare you! Gurnard! ”

“Knng! Knng! Knng! Wnng, stop! ”

Every time I cut the word short, I punched the mercenary king in the abdomen with a metal kick.

Even after seeing the appearance of a young girl, the mercenary king who wielded the sword without hesitation was good.

I'll do whatever it takes to survive. Isn't that the virtue of a long-lasting mercenary?

In the beginning, the most dangerous things in our family were old people, young children, and good-looking.

And that means...

“Did you see it in the organization? ”

This one is also very likely from Howling.

“Beautiful! Goddess! In the face, at least! What are you gonna do? ”

He was a mercenary king who wanted to avoid flying kicks with a steady beat, but came to a state where his body was already motionless. Just a situation where twitching is the limit.

There are only two things left.

“Warrior, block the entrance. ”

“I understand.”

People who will come up with warriors to stop their comrades, especially this one.

“Let's stop beating him and take him to his room. ”

“Hing, I still don't have enough.... ”

Drying the iron mace and shuttling the mercenary king into another room.

“Now, how do you know me? ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

And then there's the torture, the getting to know each other!

“There's no words. I like that kind of person. ”

Tak!

“Sir, this is not the sound coming from your mouth. That's the sound of my fist cutting through the wind. ”

The fist flies slowly to the side of the mercenary king as he bounces.

“S-stop……. ”

Seeing it, the fearful mercenary king immediately said his name.

“Well, I'm Weden. ”

“Wade? Who is it? ”

I think I've heard that one before.

“I... I learned it at a place called Howling... ”

“Ah……. ”

The puzzle piece has completed a single drawing.

Yeah, he's, uh...

“Defeat.”

One of the first men I ever taught, the first one to escape and ruin my career!

“Tussi! This is not the sound of your mouth! This is the sound of the wind! ”

I don't know how to split the wind, but I left it alone.

That son of a bitch needs a beating.

I sent you on a mission and you want to become a warrior against a priestess.

If he hadn't escaped, neither would his motive. Then maybe he never would have become the Demon King.

Yes, he is a sinner of humanity. So you can be right. He deserves to be beaten by an evil god.

After I left him with Iron Fist for about half an hour.

“Ugh... ”

Cloudy eyes, watery saliva.

I said in a gentle voice to my disciples before they were completely exhausted.

“I'm going to fight the Evil God hard. You used to be a warrior, so you must be obligated to do that. ”

“Ugh... ”

Chip, chip.

As the drool drops, the head shifts slowly.

Up, down, up, down! Up and down!

“Yes. If your motives are going the wrong way, you have to save your own. Country love, motivational love. Right?"

“Ugh... ”

I looked satisfied at the nodding head again.

“Yes. Let's work hard forward. ”

“Ugh... ”

That way, in the city of mercenaries, we can get the good f-not the manpower, and we can get the power to fight evil gods.

# 7 Their Situation: The Situation of Leah El Nermia

A stumbling step moves towards the room.

“Oh, that. ”

“Here we go again. What the hell is he doing? ”

“What are you, the bastard from the Horse Tower? Why would he...? ”

“Ugh... ”

The sound of criticism behind my back.

When I arrived in the room, ignoring all that, I lay in bed as if I had fallen.

“It's hard... ”

It was simply a matter of bringing food, but it was the hardest time for me.

“But I have to live after eating.... Open 14 times. ”

A small amount of magical power protrudes from small pockets such as large steaks and salads.

A small food storage made by the Imperial Court at the Horse Tower.

It was a great monster to preserve food as it was when it was loaded with so many foods that it was called a pantry, not a storage bag.

“Myrrh... I never thought I'd make something like this with an imperial decree..." ”

Clearly an excellent magical tool, but given the amount in this pocket and the conservation cost, it's a level you'll have to call a monster.

“Well, I can eat well in my room. ”

Slice and eat warm steak with a knife.

Delicious.

How long has this food been hot?

“I've prepared a lot this time, so can you last at least half a year? ”

Tears poured out.

I never thought I'd end up like this, the infamous Imperial genius who once rocked the empire.

“But you have to be patient. ”

If I get caught by the instructor, the Empress, and Mira, my life will be a luxury.

Why did I dye my brown hair so dark red?

Why is it that she's always mopping up her shiny hair and putting ash powder on her white skin?

To avoid getting caught.

“Why do I live like this? ”

My eyes glazed at the mirror and wept.

Is it because I've been eating delicious, warm food for a long time? Sensitivity exploded.

“Come on.”

However, there was no need to stay up all night because of the fear of iron picking.

I was able to study various magic by myself and try expensive alchemy with my grandfather's support.

Yeah, not bad.

If you stay here until you get caught or die, you'll be able to leave before fifty.

Yes, enjoying the world at fifty is not bad either!

“A warrant.”

“Yes?”

Grandpa, the owner of the horse tower, gave me white paper.

“An army of evil gods is eating away at the continent. That's why requests are being made for reinforcements in each tower, and as a result of the meeting, all of the continental towers are working together to fight the forces of evil gods. ”

So he said that he wanted you to participate.

If you look at your skills, even people called the Next Horse Riders are below you.

It's because my grandfather knows that using a Summoner's Suit is a level enough to fight the Horsemen.

“Leah, my lovely granddaughter Leah, you can't stay like this forever. We save the world and live in peace. ”

It was my grandfather who saved my room and hid me here. The one who hugged me without even asking me why.

When he heard me crying,

“You can't do something that obvious. ”

I fled without hesitation.
