104. Let’s go on a journey
If Cream hadn’t invaded in the middle, the Argos subjugation was originally under the honorable Lord Whiren Goldberg, who ‘gladly volunteered even though it wasn’t his job’ was going to be organized.
But everything changed when the hero intervened. No matter how strong Argos was, there was no way he could be an opponent for Cream, and the success rate of the subjugation went up by leaps and bounds.
“Too, too many.”
Cream, which was ripped off thickly from Zoro Relan, frowned. He certainly wasn’t making a conscientious remark about being overpaid.
A group of knights standing in a line in front of us now. They were the ones who matched their hands and feet the other day when they attacked the alienated Jajaseong. And this time, as a bonus, even soldiers!
In other words, the burden that was hanging in the middle of the day was increased.
[Can’t you hear the warrior! Disband immediately!]
“However, for subjugation, a certain scale is required…”
[Are you crazy? There is a hero, what else do you need?]
When I gave Lelan a face-off with a carefree tone, she, despite being a full-time viscount who inherited her title, just shuddered and couldn’t refute. Great, the warrior is strong.
To be honest, it was only me and cream-yes, I wanted to go back quickly with chocolate included, but unfortunately, unlike the small baggage, the giant leech didn’t fall shamelessly.
“Of course, the hero’s dance is famous, but I also promised to help the viscount. We will do it together.”
[That’s why you’re a burden.]
“Don’t worry. Even so, I did not neglect holding the sword.”
Even if they openly face it, they bounce it off with a smirk, but that’s just… Hmmm, but considering the position of the imperial family, there was no proper way for us to stick together like that.
“Still, it’s related to our territory, but if that’s the case, Lord Ark is the same…”
[Are you talking about the man in the armor? He’s too slow, so I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up.]
That old man is still more familiar with being called the leader than his real name. Whenever she had a chance, her viscount stayed next to her and escorted her, but for some reason, he couldn’t be seen now.
If it’s that guy, well, I remember that his skills weren’t too bad, but he’s wearing heavy armor. Of course, it was bound to be lacking in terms of mobility. High dropout.
“Yes? If you ride a horse…”
[No, you wouldn’t be able to ride a horse if you were going around anyway? We have to walk.]

Choco is a pure-blooded beast. Her body odor is enough to drive away most monsters, but of course, there is no way that a normal beast will be fine by her side.
In fact, the biggest thing she felt was that she was making excuses and didn’t want to increase her burden.
“Then how are you going to go that far…?”
[Yes, of course, I run on my own two feet!]
Originally, if the body is lacking, the head suffers. With two healthy, strong legs, what else was there to find a means of transportation?
“No, Argos is moving around in a fairly wide radius. As you can see by looking at the map, it is absolutely not a distance to go with two feet.”
[So, isn’t it near here?]
I neatly ignored Lelan’s sweaty explanation. No, stop clinging to me. Why do you keep trying to attach the burden?
[If I run 20 hours a day, well, I’ll be there in two days. Anyway, if you can’t keep up with this schedule, quit.]
I understand not trusting a warrior with bad rumors and coveting the material of the rare monster Argos, but do I need to be considerate of my opponent?
I tried to bluff myself with the hope that Fieren would also fall out, but neither of them seemed to have any intention of giving up. Ha, I let out a long sigh again.
This will take a little longer to negotiate.
*
In the end, after dramatic negotiations involving even the Holy Sword, we succeeded in reaching a dramatic conclusion of negotiations, limiting the party to go together to two people.
Of course, I didn’t mean to threaten her with a holy sword, but to borrow her agitation ability. Even so, we can’t do that to the landlord who pays us.
So, the two members of the honor who temporarily joined the hero’s party…
“I see you went together. hahahaha, thank you.”
“I will do my best not to become a burden to this old man.”
It was Fieren Goldberg, still a skinny bastard, and the bishop of the moon in the region of Hair with a stigma engraved on his cheek. Even so, the leader was eliminated because his mobility was too low.
After packing our luggage just in case, we prepared to depart. The Bishop of the Moon, who was called from the temple and couldn’t properly hear the circumstances, looked puzzled.
“By the way, are we going like this?”
[Why, what is lacking?]
A feeling of exasperation soon appeared on the bishop’s face, but he sighed and took control of himself, perhaps because the opponent was a warrior. Then he answered, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.
“Everything is not enough, everything!”
But I couldn’t help the fact that my voice trembled. I smiled and looked around. Certainly, the bishop’s point was not wrong.
No horses, no food, no sleeping bags, really nothing. He is truly single, with only one subspace pocket hanging from his waist. It was not unreasonable for the Bishop of the Moon to be ridiculous.
But that’s only for normal travel.
[Go back if twisted.]
“What, what did you say?”
[Are you deaf because you are old? If you have any complaints, turn it off.]
The Bishop of the Moon was speechless at my verbal abuse. He looked back at Hwi-ren, who was in the same situation as her, with regretful eyes, but Hwi-ren, who was quick to judge her situation, just smiled and shook her head.
A situation where no one is on the side. Surprisingly, it was Choco who stood by the Bishop of the Moon.
“Don’t bully Grandpa!”
[Eh, why are you acting nice all of a sudden?]
“Surviving to that old age deserves respect in itself! Even if you kill and eat it, you should show respect.”
Anyway, I think it’s you who are attacking the old man.
Leading the Bishop of the Moon whose soul was stripped away, we finally started moving. So, as before, I started running without even opening the map.
Firen and the Bishop of the Moon had no choice but to run together even as they died. While I was enjoying the sense of speed, Firen, who was more relaxed than the bishop, shouted as he ran.
“Gil-i-right-is-scare-ni-ka-!”
And while I was clinging to Cream’s waist, of course I didn’t get out of breath, but I answered in the same way as Whiren did.
[Mole-La-!]
Whiren put on a bewildered expression, but because she fell behind her party, she couldn’t speak any more and she had to gritting her teeth and focus on running.
Running, sprinting for more than a few hours and even finishing the horse is very hard work. The reason those two still managed to follow was because they were also renowned strongmen.
Of course, the Bishop of the Moon, who is old and a priest, was considerably behind in his physical ability, but he was following us by spraying the moon’s divine power to freeze the road and skate.
[Cream, Cream. Doesn’t that look pretty good?]
“Do you?”
[Let’s try it, that’s it.]
And then, Cream, who was tricked by me, began to follow the methods of the Bishop of the Moon. He unleashes incomparable divine power and spreads a straight line of ice between the forest roads.
Then, he puts his feet on the frozen road and slides all the way. Compared to the effort and effort, the speed isn’t that fast, but it’s incredibly fun!
[Kiyaho!]
“aaa!”
Coming out of the woods, Whiren’s screams overlapped. Although the emotions contained were the exact opposite.
Choco had a better physical ability than Cream, so he could run faster, and Bishop of the Moon had a much more comfortable face because he could follow the ice road that Cream had laid earlier, but it wasn’t Fireen.
As the party’s speed increased, he was about to die alone. The use of sliding on that icy road was only possible if you knew how to handle the divine power of the moon, so it was impossible for Firen.
[Wait, in front. Before!]
But it seemed like they were too excited. As the ice road continued to pave, Cream gained tremendous acceleration.
“Ah.”
It was difficult to brake suddenly now. By the time Cream and I felt something creeping in, they were already right in front of us.
As they ran this way and that way, the distance narrowed in an instant. What appeared through the trees of the forest was a group of hellfire oxen with flames leaking from their nostrils.
The other three stopped just in time, but Cream, who was running in the lead, collided with the swarm of infernos.
“Kwuweheek!”
Of course, Cream didn’t forget to wrap himself in solid ice before crashing. The formation of the hellfire horde collapsed as it was because of a huge chunk of ice that flew out of nowhere.
The head of the cattle herd, which was hit directly by the ice block, had its head broken, and the other individuals caught up in it also did not recover. I just laughed when I saw a bigger body than a real cow flying around like a joke.
“Are you okay, hero!”
A little late, our party and the rest of the infernos were fine by their respective captains. Cream, who was not hurt in the slightest, cut the block of ice in half and came out and nodded his head calmly.
“Yes, I am fine.”
“Kushyeee!”
Oops, but the other person doesn’t seem to be like that. The infernos that had gathered around the head of the inferno, who had turned into a cold corpse, soon raised their heads and began howling grotesquely.
Two pairs of horns curved up and down like those of some devil or goat. The jagged teeth of a carnivorous animal and flames spewing from its nose. However, those eyes were large and moist.
They’re crying. Soon after, the infernal bulls, having finished their roar, put their heads in our direction and aimed their horns at us. Everyone knew what that meant.
“Haa, anyway, the owner is also true. It’s too soft for that black guy.”
The spirit of the pure-blooded beastmen that Choco exudes did not work against the group of infernal bulls who had lost their leader and lost their minds. Besides, Hellfire is also a formidable high rank monster.
I don’t know if they’re alone, but when they’re walking around in groups like that, the danger is so high that even ogres avoid their feet. They charged us with their eyes wide open, their horns entwined with fire.
“Moon, please bless me!”
“Help me, Elseria!”
But before Cream or Chocolate could rampage, the two thugs in the back stepped out. A sharp ice spear formed in the bishop’s hand, and the moment Whiren took off her glove, light gushed out and formed the shape of a sword.
[No, wait a minute. That?]
Before I could think further, the two of them ran out. The ice spear thrown by the Bishop of the Moon pierced the head of the infernal bull in the lead, and Whiren’s sword swung at a right angle and rushed at them.
Of course, it was clear that he was tired from running, but the appearance of a strong man did not go anywhere. The group of infernos that attacked the two men’s pincers were completely annihilated.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok…”
Seeing Cream fight all the time, it makes me feel sorry for him to suffer like that. In fact, he is strong enough to represent the city even at that level.
The author of Huhren has become more suspicious. I don’t know why he’s acting cool in Hairle when he has such amazing weapons, excellent physical skills, and even the background of being an imperial family.
No, to be more precise, it should be around the hero, not hair.
“Let’s go.”
How pure and clean is our cream compared to a guy who must have had a hundred snakes in it. They needed to emulate her consistency in not giving up to achieve her goals.
“Bar, right away?”
“I heard you have to go quickly?”
However, unlike Cream, who was perfectly fine from start to finish, those two were extremely exhausted. I ran all the way and at the end I even fought a group of monsters.
“Ugh. Even so, if you strain your movements too much, you might be fooled by Argos when you run into him.”
“I’m fine, right?”
Crim said so, but in the end it was decided to camp a little early today.
Because those two really looked like they were going to die. Ugh, I should have left my luggage. However, I had already received a lot of money, so I couldn’t help it.
After running for a little while, the group of infernos freed themselves from the slaughtered corpses and we settled down in a suitable place. The sun was slowly setting.
[I’m off early today, so I’ll be leaving early tomorrow. Got it? Don’t whine later.]
“······Big, okay.”
From noble mtl dot com
Because they couldn’t bring their belongings properly, Huhren and the bishop had to pack a sloppy tent with only what was in the pockets of the subspace. Of course, not all subspace pockets are as roomy as Cream’s.
Cream’s subspace pouch, which contained all sorts of gold coins, reagents, and junk, was a treasure that even the king of a country could not easily possess. Come to think of it, how did you get this?
Anyway, Cream has too many secrets. When I think about it, I thought that the few years that Cream had spent at the ice shop would never be ordinary, as well as the fact that he had just picked up a pure-blooded beastman.
“The secret is, Karbal, this, more, many, while.”
[What?]
“Huh. I will sleep.”
I can’t deny it because it’s a fact. I deliberately ran out of ideas. Although Cream can read my thoughts, it seems that it cannot read the thoughts that are deeply embedded in my consciousness.
Cream, who pouted for a moment, immediately closed her eyes and went to sleep. Choco also naturally crouched beside her.
“Wait, are you going to sleep?”
“Why?”
And then, Whiren and the bishop, who were preparing a splendid tent next to them, disturbed Cream’s sleep.
“No, you lie down and sleep?”
“Yes.”
By the way, Cream was lying on the forest floor where the leaves were piled up. Of course, thanks to the blessing of cleanliness that was wrapped around her body, she was still clean without a single filth.
Choco? He’s a beast Every time she transforms, she tears and eats her clothes, so there are dozens of spare clothes in Choco’s subspace pockets.
“No matter how hard it is, the hero sleeping on the bare floor like this is…”
“Ha ha. Puppy, fluffy.”
Cream let out a sigh and touched Choco, who was crouching next to her. Choco, who had already been dozing off her head, raised her head.
“Huh?”
“Fluffy, soft.”
“Ah!”
Is it like a password or something? Choco nodded her head at Cream’s cryptic words and soon went back behind the tree. With an ominous crackle, the shadows rose from behind the trees.
Soon, a gigantic beast up to 3 meters in height walked out prowling. Even if it wasn’t, the two people who were wary of the fierce power almost caused a match.
“What is this!”
“No, wait. Is that… Is that Miss Choco by any chance?”
Unlike the bishop, who completely judged his opponent as a monster and suffered a brain freeze, Firen asked with a half-confident expression if he still had his own knowledge. Cream nodded her head as if asking for something obvious.
[Excuse me for saying that.]
At the heart wave of a cute girl coming from the beast, even the bishop noticed the situation a little too late. However, regardless of the reaction of the neighbors, Choco moved towards Cream.
Soon, Choco rolled up her tail and rolled her body in the shape of a beast. Then, Cream jumped lightly and put her body into the hollow between them.
“Bare floor, no. Now, okay?”
“Ugh…”
“Okay, that’s it. Don’t interrupt, don’t.”
Well, it sure is fluffy.
The Bishop of the Moon opened his mouth as if he was absurd, but he couldn’t tackle him anymore. For that reason, the shadow of the crouching beast with its back against the evening glow was too gigantic.
Soon, the two of them began struggling again to build a tent with the scarce materials. I smiled and looked at the figure, but soon I looked at Whiren’s gloved hand and fell into thought.
