The Returner

“Where did that come from? ”

Christopher's eyes burst open.

Cosplay knights and robe wearers pour out of the gate. If only that were the case, then even those who didn't seem to be human would be emerging.

“Are these the two heirs Lee Hyuk was talking about? ”

Christopher sits there, relaxed on his legs.

“Phew... ”

“Sir, what do I do? ”

“Hold it right there! Now!”

“Yes.”

Christopher, who thinks it's all wrong and is planning on hitting all the existing nuclear weapons, has ordered us to stand down.

‘Thank goodness.'

Christopher knew that no matter how hard he hit the nuke, he couldn't make things better. But that doesn't mean we can't let go.

So it was the last step prepared. Christopher was thankful that he was not able to do anything about it.

“... Are you here to help? ”

“I think so. ”

“What a surprise.”

Christopher smiles in his mouth.

“I can't believe I have to fight with people I've never interacted with. This is fun. ”

Where are the tribes and dimensions against the Demons and the Demon King?

“Finally, you've done one thing. ”

Christopher smiled at Lee Hyuk's reflection on the screen.

There will be no one who can match the words of the Savior. If there was a crisis in the world, I was looking for a solution in some way.

“He's the worst Savior ever. ”

“H-sir? ”

“Hmm?"

“Lee Hyuk is on the phone. ”

“Phone?”

I looked at the screen, and Lee Hyuk was impressing the phone.

So that's the phone that's looking for me now?

Christopher became a chubby face.

Despite the situation, the phone call with Lee Yi Hyuk was still a burden.

“Hey, put him through. ”

“Yes.”

- Oh, hello?

“Yes, Lee Ji-hyuk. That's me."

- What are you doing, man? Without spilling it?

“I'm doing everything I can to support you... but the distance between the monsters and those coming out of that gate is too close for easy bombardment." can be……. ”

- Just grind it.

“Yes?”

- They won't die if they get hit. So you just have to sharpen it.

“It's a person? You mean someone with firepower who can't even stand monsters and just go?" ”

- Yes.

“May I die? ”

- He keeps saying he's not going to die. They're not human. Pretending to be human. They won't die if they get nuked, not bombed. Don't worry.

“… No, it's common sense……. ”

- When did you see common sense in these guys?

“I didn't see it. ”

After hearing that, I understand. Monsters in the sky came down like rain, opened the gates, and a stranger came to support them. It was a common misconception.

- They're better at defending against horses, so just go.

“Oh, I see. ”

- And I'll ask for medical assistance.

“Yes! Don't worry. ”

- Of course.

“Oh, wait a minute, Lee Hyuk. ”

- Yes?

“Are these the people from that ‘veraf’ place Lee Hyuk was talking about? ”

- Yeah, the creeps followed us here.

“It seems a little premature to say this now.... ”

- Yes?

“What happens to them when the war ends like this? So there's no chance of them returning to the invaders?

- That's not it.

Lee Hyuk's voice was resolute.

― These are children who know divine power like the water of life, so it's hard to live in a world where Latrel and other gods can't do much. So I'll probably go back when I'm done.

“For nothing? ”

- It's not free. If we can defeat the Demon Prince here, Beraf won't be harmed.

“Ah……. ”

Christopher nodded his head. Given how much damage the Earth has suffered, it is a very wise choice. If Christopher had known this would happen before the invasion of the Mage, he would have also planned the expedition for Magero.

Even if it's a harder fight, there won't be any civilian damage.

- Anyway, you won't have to worry about it. Just be a good cannonball supplier and keep your offense straight. Now that we have a tank, we have a chance to put in a free deal.

“I see what you mean. ”

- Yes, of course.

Christopher lets out a low sigh as the phone disconnects. Then I started screaming with a stiff face.

“Gather all the firepower you can! This is your chance to take a swing at those arrogant Horsemen! ”

“Roger!”

Christopher shuddered as he felt his lost hope rise again.

* * *

Bang.

“Oh, I thought I was going to die. ”

“... I don't think it's time to relax like this. ”

“A man needs to rest and live, how can he fight 24/7? ”

“Yes, but.... ”

That doesn't mean it's spreading.

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk with trembling eyes. Lee Hyuk, who had brought a big beach chair to see where it came from, was lying down on the chair with his cigarette pleasantly smoking.

This is a war zone, right? ’

There was something shady going on.

Is this really possible?

“… Hey, Lee Hyuk. ”

“Why?”

“I think people should know how to cover their time and place. ”

“I don't want people. ”

“No, don't do that. ”

“Oh, come on! ”

Lee Hyuk jumped out.

“If you want to make people eat, you have to stick to your hours, someone has asked you to protect them for eight hours a day, or you have to pay for overtime. He just wants to relax for a little while, but he can't take it anymore, so he wants to go! ”

“… I don't want to. ”

“Jung-hoon Choi is the problem. ”

“Yes? Me? ”

“What's the point of working, working and not working every day on a salary basis together? Choe Jung-hoon works so hard, but the others get the same money. That's a complaint.”

“Ah……. ”

Is that how it's gonna be?

Choi Jeong-hoon who suddenly received a labor supervision shrunk. Even Yoon Hyuk-gyu and Kim Da Hyun were pouting next to each other. Like I agree with Lee Hyuk.

"What did I do so wrong? ’

Choi Jung-hoon, who had quickly become the enemy of the worker, complained that he was unfair, but his gaze was not too cold.

“That has nothing to do with this. ”

“Then, should we go home and rest to cover the time and place? ”

“… No. ”

“That's nasty. You interfered with the seating arrangements at the grocery store, just like a bad employer, really. I don't see people that way. ”

“Why, why are you looking at people like that! Why?”

These people are real!

Everyone was cooperating with Lee Hyuk.

No, you guys. This is a battlefield. Why don't you lie down and relax?

What, from where to Coke?

Lee Hyuk, who had a annoying face in the world, murmured.

“Now that we've fought this much, we'll have to take shifts and rest. We're running out of Mana and we need to get it back together. ”

“Hnng.”

“Jung-hoon Choi, get some rest. We don't have much time left to rest. ”

“Yes.”

“And…. ”

“Yes?”

“They're not worth it. Do you think they're easy to deal with because I dealt with them? I can't beat them on my own without a garrison. ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon looks at Beraf's troops with suspicious eyes.

“That's the professional side that's been fighting the Mages and monsters for thousands of years. It's not the same as this one. ”

“You're right. ”

“Oh, my gosh! ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head back. Lee Hyuk, who saw Diore 12 in his legal uniform, asked with trembling eyes.

“No, aren't you joining us? ”

“With Latrell's will, we don't have to lead in one place. I'm sure you know. ”

“What aliens? ”

Lee Hyuk frowned, but Diolet 12 just laughed. The first education that anyone who is appointed Pope of Latrel receives is to learn how not to get excited.

I don't know when there's been such an education.

“We have been preparing for war for a long time, since the Doom's Throne came into this world. As I believe you will one day bring destruction to Beraf. ”

“… Huh? Me?"

“Yes.”

“That's it, isn't it over already? ”

Diolet XII shakes her head quietly.

“It's not the end. It's a start.”

“Start?”

“Yes. One day, when you return, Beraf will lose his light and return to darkness. This is the trust Latrell gave us. ”

“... How thoughtful. ”

Lee Hyuk snorted.

“Well, you don't have to worry about that. I have no intention of returning to your world. If you die, you'll die here. ”

“Haha.”

“And this is a secret... ”

“Yes?”

“Latrell, she doesn't always tell the truth. It's tricky to trick people. How utterly deceitful... That's a cult, a cult. ”

Diolet XII's body began to tremble.

Blasphemy in front of the Pope, even though it's called Lee Hyuk, isn't this too much?

“Do not expect anything from him, nor listen to anything he says. ”

Diore XII opened his mouth, treating the trust Latrel placed on him like a golden jade tree.

“Anyway, thanks to that trust, we've spent over 500 years preparing for war. ”

“Oh, 500 years? ”

“Yes.”

“Has time already passed? ”

“Yes, you know that. ”

“Phew……. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“Wow, this... I didn't go to any dirty time when I was there, but it's really quick here. 500 years old, 12 years old, and ten more Popes have died. ”

“…… there is another name. Twenty-eight, to be exact. ”

“You can experiment with evolution. ”

“The result is this. Everyone is stronger than you were when you ruled Beraf. even if they were the Demon King. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk nods as he sees Beraf's troops swarming the Demon Monarchs.

Obviously, it felt like he was several times stronger than when he hit the quarterback.

But…….

“On the other hand, you haven't experienced the Demon King or me in 500 years? ”

“That's true. ”

“That's what they'll say. ”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyuk opened his mouth, watching Jung-hoon Choi.

“Get some rest. We don't have much time. ”

“Yes?”

“I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble if it had been easy for Beraf to help. ”

That's exactly what I meant.
