Old Stories – 2
Xenia and Seraine fell ill in the aftermath of the Magical Purification.
It is said that he collapsed after healing me in the midst of a nightmare with a scalding fever.
I was so grateful for that, and said goodbye to the sleeping two.
“I really want to know what it would be like without you guys. Thank you very much.”
“Heavenly God. Please give me meat…”
“Ummm. uh huh. It is a tree of gold coins.”
What are you both dreaming of?
I stretched out and looked back.
“Let’s leave this day alone.”
Then Ardwin answered.
“yes. Judging by the color of their souls, they will be fine tomorrow morning.”
“Oh, do you know that?”
“Isn’t hyung supposed to take a day off today? He must have been splashing around in the real Redbee River.”
“It’s okay because I didn’t go into it as deeply as I thought. Rather…”
I hardened my expression.
Then, whatever automatic reflexes happen, the party also changes their posture.
“Simply speaking, I killed Kayle.”
“ah!”
“Also.”
“But there was no body?”
“okay. Idria took it.”
kuung.
It felt like a heavy rock was falling.
I am the oldest demon lord, so I decided to remove the contents of the oldest warrior first.
In other words, it was only explained that space opened up when I collapsed and was unable to control myself, and Idria took Caled’s torso and neck and ran away.
Offense asked.
“Saying this, but why didn’t Idria kill you on the spot?”
“Because you are a warrior?”
“What a monstrous sound.”
“If you think about it, I think there is a way to kill the demon kings in history before they become strong enough.”
everyone shut their mouths
I continued to explain.
“But no demon lord has chosen the ‘easy way’. Could it be that it wasn’t just leisure or arrogance, but a circumstance that had no choice but to do so?”
“A demon king cannot kill a hero, D.”
“Actually, otherwise, I can’t explain it. Why did Idria leave me alone?”
I’m not just talking about Bion and Idria.
Wasn’t it the same for the heroes from the first generation to the 4th generation?
……
Well, if you think about it now, you can’t come up with an answer, so let’s move on.
Anyway, everyone shook their heads.
asked Neryl.
“Why did the Demon King take Caled’s body?”
“I’m pretty sure I didn’t bring it to bury you.”
“……”
“The demon lord could have even kidnapped Lephia’s soul from the underworld. I don’t know for sure, but he must be trying to play something with Cale’s corpse.”
“That’s…”
“okay. The fight is not over yet.”
To say it as if it were decidedly, the atmosphere became heavy.
I quickly raised my hand and resolved the topic.
“Even so, there is nothing to worry about. It will be just as good as it has been in the future.”
“You are very positive in everything.”
“haha. Anyway, in that sense, should I just enjoy a vacation today? After all, Xenia and Serene can’t move either.”
Come to think of it, I’ve only been running without a break until now.
It would be okay to take a day off and start over again.
Offense opened his mouth.
“It’s a good offer, but there’s nothing I can do about taking a vacation all of a sudden.”
“Can I give you a tour guide?”
“You didn’t even know where a good inn was here.”
“I don’t know the inn, but I know the scenic spots. When I was young, I used to wander around mountains so much. My father was a hunter.”
“Well. It’s tempting, but…”
lesser evil.
He unfolded his coat.
There were so many memorizing memorizations that I wondered how to hang something like that.
“I have to do some memorization checks.”
“Right. How about Mr. Lissel?”
Russell pondered for a moment before answering.
“I will take care of Serene. I have a bad sleep habit, so I might kick Xenia-san next to me.”
“I think it’s surveillance, not nursing.”
“Actually, that’s right. And speak comfortably. Maid.”
“yes? However……”
“You talk to other party members comfortably, but that’s how it is if I’m respected by myself.”
I smiled and nodded my head.
“I will. It’s strange, but please take care of me.”
“yes! It is me.”
I then asked Ardwin.
“You?”
“I want to go with you… suck.”
Suddenly, Offense shut his mouth.
“You help me.”
“What can I do to help you? He doesn’t know how to deal with memorization.”
“I need your power.”
“……! haha. Even if you’re trying to borrow this body’s hand, you still have eyes to see.”
what are you doing
Anyway, I finally looked at Neryl…
“I will go with you.”
“Answer me before I even ask.”
“I don’t really have any plans. and.”
She slowly turned her gaze and continued.
“I want to be introduced to your hometown.”
So I wandered around the territory with Neril.
Neril said at the beginning of the mountain.
“Uh-huh.”
“……”
“Whoa. Also the scenery is awesome. Good to see you, Maid.”
“This is the beginning.”
“Let’s go down. The sun sets early in the mountains.”
“It’s not even noon yet.”
Neryl is staring at me.
In fact, it must be difficult for a senile woman to walk on such a steep mountain slope.
“Are you going to go?”
“uh? Did you read me?”
“It’s written on your face. And I asked him to go down because I thought it would be more helpful to wander around the downtown area.”
“Does it help? There must not be any supplies to supplement.”
“Yesterday, you sealed the Jewel of Destruction, and saved a lot of Youngji people who were about to die. Aren’t you curious how he became famous?”
At that, I involuntarily clapped my hand.
Actually, it’s something I should have thought about first, not Neryl.
“Right. After all, you seem to be able to catch what I missed out better than anyone else.”
“Because we’ve been together the longest.”
“I’m only one week apart from Xenia…”
she interrupted me
“Because we’ve been together the longest.”
Yes. That’s right.
The entrance to the estate was completely ruined by the power.
It is more appropriate to say that private houses, trees, and wells were crushed rather than simply collapsed.
I clicked my tongue.
“I’m going to have some trouble with the recovery.”
“Are you still looking bright?”
“Everyone here is positive. Those who save the most important lives can laugh at the rest.”
“It’s like you.”
She looked around with a bright smile.
That was then.
“oh? Perhaps!”
“It’s a saint!”
“The Lady of Coercion.”
“please wait for a moment. Wait!”
Thousands of people rushed towards us.
I wondered if there were so many people in this estate.
But are you a virgin?
I looked at Neryl, but she also had a puzzled expression on her face.
At that time, one of Young Ji-min said:
“Lady. The saint saved us yesterday, right?”
I opened my mouth wide.
I’m sure I heard that Neryl magically crafted an invisible hand and hurled the lords over the other side.
It was Lissel’s spirit who caught them who fell, and it was Ardwin who comforted them just before they died of shock.
It was the offense that Neril saved the missing.
But overall, it cannot be denied that Neryl’s performance was particularly outstanding.
So it must have been deeply engraved in the minds of Youngji people.
Neryl answered.
“Ah, yes. I am right.”
“As expected… heuk heuk.”
“Thank you so much for saving us.”
“What the hell happened?”
“Did anyone other than the saint help us?”
“I have heard of it. Isn’t the saint a member of the ‘Heroes’ Swordsman’s Party?”
Neryl is so flustered that she doesn’t know what to do.
I took a step forward to rectify the situation.
“you’re right. I am Maid Mohan.”
“Oh oh! warrior.”
“The hero is visiting our estate.”
“Where are you staying? Come to our inn!”
“Are the weapons untouched? I will do it for free.”
I said waving my hand.
“no. I have a separate place to stay…”
“for a moment. Are you that Maid Mohan?”
“ah! Uncle Ben.”
I see Uncle Ben, who ran a butcher shop, which became a good seller for his father’s game.
The muscles that used to be loud have shrunk, and the straight waist has also been bent, but that kind smile remains the same.
“Also! I heard that the swordsman’s name was Maid, so I was not sure!”
“It’s been a really long time.”
“haha. Hey guys! This friend is Maid, Mohan’s only son. It is the pride of our estate.”
Then, the color of the faces of Youngji-min changes.
they murmured
“If you’re a maid, you mean that troublemaker?”
“Oh my gosh. A hero will come out of our territory!”
“It’s really good. How much is this?”
“Even Arald will rejoice in heaven.”
I hardened my face at the last words without notice.
But fortunately, Uncle Ben handled the situation gently.
“How the hell did it happen? this day.”
“Well. So……”
I changed my mind trying to elaborate.
‘Trail. Did you say that Idria took Kayle?’
[okay. It’s useful.]
‘No matter how strong Idria is, can she revive the dead?’
[Ummm. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think he was bluffing.]
‘That means Kayle is going to be alive?’
Trail agreed in silence.
I shook my head.
‘I thought I killed him, so I just tried to move on, but I can’t.’
I will use this opportunity to undermine his reputation.
I cleared my mind and opened my mouth.
“I can’t tell you the details right now. I want to see the lord here.”
“Lord?”
“yes. First of all, I will explain what happened to the lord. You will find out later.”
“Whew. I get it. You mustn’t be too fussy about what the hero is doing.”
Uncle Ben shook his head and asked.
“Okay, are you busy right now?”
“Right now…”
“Then let’s have lunch together. Do you remember Uncle Trigger?”
“Sure. He is the richest man in our estate.”
I omitted the word ‘at least’.
“The friend discussed with the lord and drank a lot of alcohol and meat. I almost felt depressed when I was going to restore all of that, but it was a good timing.”
“You must have benefited from it, too.”
“Huh. Whose house did the meat for the feast come from? Anyway, how about we do it together? There are many stories I want to hear.”
I turned to Neryl before answering.
She showed eyes that had never been shown before her return… That is, her eyes that sparkled with interest.
“I like it. I want to ask why you call me a saint.”
“The Saint of Coercion.”
“Saint.”
“The Saint of Coercion.”
Blood spurted on Neril’s forehead.
“You, too, listen only to swords, excluding fire.”
……
That’s very logical.
I can’t quite resist
The reason why Neryl’s nickname was given the title “Saint of Coercion” was simple.
The rescue process was too coercive.
Since it was a matter of arguing for every second, I told Youngji-min, ‘I’ll throw it away for a moment.’ Because I couldn’t tell you.
‘Well, even if Neryl’s personality had room to spare, he probably wouldn’t have notified me.’
Is it coercion in that sense?
Do you get along very well?
Neril also seemed to like the nickname he had a lot, so he said with a reddish face while not drinking.
“I’ll do this under my official nickname. The Witch of Cruelty has decided to abandon it now.”
“……”
“If you, a hero, introduce me like that just a few times, you can just leave it alone and the rumors will spread.”
“Are you really okay?”
“You changed from a witch to a saint, didn’t you? Where is this dramatic reversal? I really like it.”
By itself, ‘coercion’ seems to have been filtered out of the head.
Anyway, Neryl and I ate and drank and enjoyed until late.
As he was about to leave his seat, Uncle Ben opened his mouth.
“Are you going?”
“yes. Other colleagues are waiting.”
“Where are you staying?”
“…my home.”
Then Ben’s face hardened.
widely.
He put down his drink and said.
“Is there a place for people to live?”
“……”
“You left the estate right after Diane was arrested. However, in the first few years, me and a few friends did some maintenance…”
“It’s good enough for a few days stay. Thank you for managing.”
“Hmmm. It’s not something to be thankful for. At some point, I let go of my hand.”
“It’s only natural that I left the estate someday. Anyway, I’ll go.”
Druck.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Me and Neryl stood up.Uncle Ben said hurriedly.
“Before you leave the estate, you should meet Araldna once.”
“……”
“I’m still taking care of his grave, so it won’t be as ugly as your house.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My heart ached, and I bowed my head deeply to him.“thank you.”
“Come again.”
“yes. Next time, we will defeat the Demon King and return.”
“Heh heh. Don’t wait.”
Uncle Ben turned to the left.
“Hey guys. Maid is back Everyone fill your cup.”
“Oh oh!”
“That nosebleed became a hero. I can’t help but celebrate this. For the hero Maid, the Saint of Coercion, and other heroes!”
“for!”
Everyone clapped their glasses vigorously.
I also toasted to the point where I was overflowing with alcohol and wet my hands.
That was then.

My mouth caught my ear.gulp. gulp.
“Big.”
drink is sweet
Then Neryl said.
“I’m drunk.”
“Do you often have thoughts with me these days?”
“yes?”
“no. By the way, I didn’t know you could drink either.”
This guy doesn’t like alcohol, does he?
Neryl gave an unusually playful smile.
“why? Can a saint drink alcohol?”
