120. Regrets of the Hero Party (7)
120. Regrets of the Hero Party (7)
“Hmm… “
Because of a different bed than usual, Hare woke up early in the morning.
Hare gets up from her seat rubbing her eyes.
She immediately noticed the deja vu of the seat next to her.
“Oh… ? Where did Luna go… ? You slept next to me yesterday… “
It looked like she was sleeping while snoring…
What is this… ?
In an instant, a bad thought crossed Hare’s head…
“No way… Did Luna get captured by the Lizardmen… ?”
Couldn’t she have been taken by the lizard man and turned into breakfast… !?
“Yo, warriors are rich in nutrients… !!”
It’s an emergency… !
Hare quickly came to his senses and ran out of the tent.
Does the old man not know that Luna is gone?
She was preparing breakfast with a calm expression on her face.
Hare hurriedly ran towards the old man.
“Ah, mister… !! Rain, it’s an emergency… !! Luna is gone… ! It must have been eaten by the Lizardmen… !!”
“… “
“You’re such a lizardman that I don’t even notice… !! A very strong guy took Luna… ! Rain, it’s an emergency… !!”
“… “
Lee Jun-woo listened to Ha-re’s words and thought quietly.
‘Luna should be sleeping in my tent right now… ‘
She was captured by the Lizardmen.
Hare, how far did she go with her delusions and did she come to that conclusion?
Lee Jun-woo looked at Ha-re, who was exhaling with excitement.
‘… Still, she’s worried about Luna. Can I tell her the truth?’
Hare worries about her friend who disappeared in the middle of the night.
Since Hare didn’t have a bad heart for her, Lee Jun-woo said as he put the meat on her grill.
“Luna is safe.”
“Yes, yes… ? There is no Luna in the tent… “
“Take a look at my tent. Breakfast will be ready soon, so waking up Luna is better.”
“… Yes?”
Angel-
After hearing Lee Jun-woo’s words, Ha-re’s head and heart cooled down.
‘Ah, the uncle’s tent… ? No way… Luna you… ?’
From noble mtl dot com
Having regained her composure, Hare quietly and cautiously walked toward the uncle’s tent.
She gulped her saliva as she looked at the tent door that was firmly shut.
‘My, it’s not what I think… Luna said she likes you… She didn’t feel that way, she said… ‘
Gulp-
Hare ate her heart, and she opened the tent’s door that was tightly closed.
There was a scene unfolding that Hare hadn’t even thought of.
“I-I-I…” Thief… A traitor… “
“Hmm… Hmm… “
I didn’t get caught by the lizardmen…
She ran away to the uncle’s tent… ?
While I sleep… ?
‘My, what did Luna do with Mr. Uncle while I was sleeping… ? Uh, what are you doing… What were we talking about… ?’
Hare started randomly imagining things that never happened.
The scope of her imagination was wide and deep. She
When she reached the end she had to make a choice in the end.
“My, my world is going to end today… You, I’ll make you the same… !! You, you traitor!”
Killing you!
I’m going to die too!
Hare held her dagger in her hand and slashed it down at her Luna.
“Ugh, ugh…” ? Hee hee… !! Uh, what is this… !!”
“… Did she miss How did you notice… ?”
“What are you doing in the morning with a dagger, Hare!”
“Go, stay still, Luna. Because we are friends… I’ll let you go without pain… “
“Mister! Hare is crazy! She’s crazy even if she’s crazy! Ugh, ahh-!!”
Awake, Luna ran out of her tent screaming.
Hare followed Luna with cold dead eyes as if not to let go.
A game of tag in broad daylight.
Lee Jun-wu sighed as he watched.
“Haa… “
It was a noisy morning as usual.
***
A cave inhabited by Lizardmen.
I was able to arrive at the mission location faster than I thought.
The stamina of the warrior party was not worse than expected, and it was because Hare found the way in front of them.
I whispered softly as I looked at the cave entrance.
“There are two lizardmen at the entrance.”
“How do I deal with them!?”
“I have an idea… “
Flash-
Hare raised her hand to explain her opinion.
“I’m throwing Luna as food for the Lizardmen… In the meantime, we’re dealing with the Lizardman chief… How are you, uncle… ?”
“Leave your emotions aside and speak, Hare.”
“Chit… “
Hare clicked her tongue in regret.
After that day.
Every time Hare saw Luna, she growled like a beast.
She looked as if she wouldn’t want her prey taken away.
“Anyway, Hare’s opinion was dismissed. Any other thoughts?”
“Me!”
“Yes, tell me.”
“It’s just that you go and kill them all!”
“It is impossible. I am not involved in any of this mission.”
“Yes?”
I have already made the decision myself.
I won’t do anything on this mission.
For Luna and Hare to think for themselves and act for themselves.
I will just watch them.
“So, no matter what situation unfolds before your eyes. Think and act among yourselves. It is important not to hesitate.”
“Yes, yes! We’ll take care of it! Uncle stay still! If you move, it’s a foul! You know!?”
“Yes. I will never move according to my will.”
After confirming that, Luna vigorously nodded her head.
Then, she immediately approached Hare and began planning her strategy.
“Hare! What shall we do? Except throwing me as food! Think of a strategy!”
“Anyway, the best way would be assassination… “
“Assassinate! Are the two of us assassinating each other?”
“That… “
Swipe-
Hare stared at me for a moment, then stood up with a dagger.
“I’ll do it myself… I can organize it in an instant by myself… “
Turb-Turb-
Hare said so and hid in the grass.
A confident step.
She moved swiftly and silently to the top of the cave.
“Quek-“
“Queek-“
And then, when the lizardman moved his gaze for a moment.
Pushyuk-
Falling from above, I quickly took care of one person.
“Queek-!”
When one disappeared, the startled lizard man opened his mouth to shout that the intruder had entered.
However, the dagger thrown by Hare was lodged in her throat, so the alarm could not be raised.
It was a very quick and accurate assassination.
I murmured as I looked at Hare like that.
“You have grown a lot. It was a good assassination.”
In the future, it will be faster and more accurate than that.
Luna screamed as if the sound had pushed her seizure button.
“With that much!? I can do it too! That is so easy!”
“I wish you would have done it if you could?”
“Yeah, that’s what I conceded! I gave it to Hare! You know!?”
“… “
Let’s roughly say that.
I left the prideful Luna behind and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
“Good job, Hare.”
“Heh heh heh… thank you… “
“If you leave out one regret.”
“… !!”
It’s a pity.
Hare must have noticed the meaning, picked up the Lizardman’s corpse and threw it into the grass.
Cleaning up the body.
What if the Lizardmen who were searching nearby returned to the cave?
If you see a comrade’s corpse, an alarm will go off right away.
It was better to dispose of the body just in case.
“Next time, take care of it even if I don’t tell you.”
“Yes, mister… ! So as not to be disappointed… ! I will work hard… !”
Hare burned her will as she answered.
Now that we’ve taken care of the outside work.
To solve the mission, you should head inside the cave.
“Since the number of lizardmen has increased, there is a high probability that there will be a lizardman chief in this cave. Think of your primary goal as subjugating the Lizardmen. Any questions?”
“Me! That question!”
Last question before entering the cave.
Luna shouted, waving her hand.
“If the primary goal is to subdue the Lizardmen! What is the secondary goal?”
“That… You will know when you see it.”
If you explain that, there’s no reason you’re here.
You can see it with your own eyes later.
Thought so, I went into the Lizardman’s cave where the Demon Lord exists.
“Take note. This time, you two have to work it out.”
Only for the growth of Luna and Hare.
I didn’t care what happened to myself.
***
Lizard Man is a tricky opponent in a one-on-one match.
It has a long tail and hard, impenetrable skin.
He has some level of intelligence and uses a sharp half-moon sword, and can destroy opponents’ weapons with his teeth.
However, such techniques work when the opponent is on an equal footing.
It has been a long time since Luna and Hare have surpassed their abilities.
“Kueek-!!”
“Noisy! This lizard! You are not a dragon!”
“Quek-“
SeoGung-
Every time Luna swung her sword, the lizard man’s head rolled on the floor.
A warrior’s unique strength and sense.
Lizardmen couldn’t even approach Luna.
It was an overwhelming difference in skill.
“This time, 5 animals… mister! These guys are strong, right!? You are too weak!”
“Oh, that’s right, mister… It’s not even training for a mission… “
Luna and Hare slaughtered dozens of Lizardmen as they headed deeper into the cave.
However, all of them lost their lives in one attack.
He seemed to lose interest because he was bored.
‘I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford it again after this.’
In the future I saw.
I remember it was pretty hard to catch.
I answered Luna and Hare lightly.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
“Eh? What does that mean?”
“It means to pay more attention.”
“… !!”
Did you realize the true meaning of my words?
Luna sharpened her gaze and shouted loudly at Hare.
“Ha, hare!! Dodge sideways!! It’s an attack!!”
Kwakwang-!!
It’s scary before Luna’s words end.
There was a deep hole in the space where Hare was standing.
‘If Luna wasn’t focused, Hare’s body would have been pierced by that tail attack.’
A scene from the future.
I turned my gaze to the direction the attack came from.
A red stream of air flowed from the inside of the cave.
A large lizardman slowly walked towards us.
Luna looked at the lizard man and she shouted.
“D, Dragon!! That’s not a Lizardman! It’s a dragon!”
“… “
Maybe.
A gigantic size for a normal lizardman.
As Luna said, if someone who didn’t know him saw it, he could be called a dragon.
However, unlike Luna, I knew his true identity.
“Grid, the Demon King of Greed.”
“… To? Ma, the demon king… ?”
“Did you throw away your injured body and choose to become a parasitic lizardman?”
A lizardman no different from a dragon.
Grid.
Grid, who stole the body of the Lizardman chief, opened his huge mouth.
Then he cried out in a voice that would tear his ears apart.
-Don’t even think about living in this place-!! A strong body-!! Not a reptilian body!! Give your bodies -!!!
Grid never recovered from the wounds he suffered in battle.
Last time I fought on behalf of the hero party.
It’s not me this time.
“Luna, do you remember that guy?”
“… Yes.”
“You can do it. Try it with Hare.”
The first battle with the demon lord except me.
From noble mtl dot com
I don’t have Saten and Estiya.
I had no doubt that Luna and Hare would win.
It was because the feeling of revenge sometimes showed stronger power than usual.
