108 – overprotection
+++
At Lane’s words leaving room for danger, the continent began to growl.
But the agitation that comes from that anxiety is short-lived.
The aftermath was great that only four people (according to what is known) were said to be in the vanguard, having destroyed the body of the demon king.
They share information obtained with the help of the princess and start attracting people by saying that they are looking for someone to save the world. Adventurers following them begin to gather, and mercenaries who are attracted by the money they bet join them.
In their own way, many people started to get on the journey with them.
Faith close to faith rises and falls from people’s mouths as if riding a wave.
It’s safe if you’re with the first hero. Even just listening to it, words come and go that make you tremble with a sense of burden.
However, they did not show any disturbance even with such excessive attention.
Wasn’t he called a savior and a hero in the first place? Because they received a medal of honor in front of many people.
The sun goes down and darkness covers the land.
Lane informed the academy’s faculty and cadets of his temporary departure and split his work.
Solar also entrusted her work to Merlin.
Ryan and Odrox were also prepared.
Ron, who had brought them back together, was now writing his last, and possibly last, night in the boarding house.
what are you writing Is it a poetic sentence written with emotion? His brows were too narrow for that. Like thinking deeply about something.
You can see the sentences with several layers of strikethrough, making the original form unrecognizable. Underneath it, Ron was jotting down the details of people’s behavior patterns and reactions to them.
Maybe no.. Obviously, they would have taken one more step without being complacent. I am finally taking another step following them. In the meantime, I couldn’t ruin everything by being jealous of their growth.
So, let’s anticipate what they’ll do and set some framework for how we’ll act accordingly.
Write down the number of cases one by one.
The night deepens.
..
On the day they promised to leave, they crossed the huge, high wall that marked Hidin and set foot in an area outside the border.
Leaving behind the salutes of the four gatekeepers, they walk away with a clattering sound.
The armament is also perfectly finished. Compared to the days when I traveled to the Demon Realm, it didn’t feel like it was a little simplified.
Lane wore armor with many small scratches. The armor he was wearing when he defeated the demon lord looked well-maintained, except for the scratches, and it was glossy enough to slip when insects sat on it. The helmet, which had not yet been worn, was also well-maintained and held in one hand.
The simple iron sword attached to his waist was a common iron sword that was not enchanted.
Solar wore a white robe with gold leaf decorations.
It was normal clothes inside, but the magic shield itself was wrapped around the body, so it was better to wear that armor than to wear armor that consumes stamina unnecessarily.
Lian is wearing a protective gear that protects vital points over the priest’s uniform.
Her huge breasts, which were hidden by the puffy priestly clothes, are revealed through the curves of the iron protective gear.
Although it is said that it protects itself with holy power, it was more comfortable to wear because of its own personality.
Odrox wears heavy armor over chain mail, and holds a huge shield in one hand and a huge sword in the other.
It made a clicking sound, but it was moving as usual as if there was no hindrance to its movement.
Four people in combat readiness arrived at the promised place.
“I’m here?”
Ron, who was leaning against a large tree, faced them and narrowed his eyes.
The bandages were undone. I would have solved it because I didn’t have to run into anyone other than them.
…, they thought, but no. Ron intended to finish a lot on this journey.
The inferiority complex that I had endured for well over ten years, the numerous negative emotions derived from it, the mental problems derived from it, etc., all the problems I thought of.
“Hey.. Thank you so much. I’ll thank you properly once again.”
Ron gets up on his ass and lowers his head so that his face touches his knees.
As soon as he raised his head again, his resolve to face him began to waver.
The biggest reason was that their outfits were not the usual ones that they had gotten used to even a little, but the ones from the past that stuck in their heads.
Ron’s hands trembled for a moment, but he took a bandage out of his pocket and wrapped it around his eyes.
‘It’ll be okay if I take it slow…’
Ron, who had been shyly scratching the back of his head, naturally joined their ranks.
“It’s okay that we don’t need to say hello, right? It’s embarrassing to introduce yourself.”
“No. I don’t think it’s bad to do it with the idea of going back to the beginning.”
“really..?”
Lian showed signs of disapproval, but of course the leader of this trip was also Rain, and the chief’s right to speak should not be ignored.
There is no organization that is more prone to disintegration than a group whose leader has lost his power.
Sola, who was at least in a position to express her refusal, also did not say anything.
It was because it was the right choice to follow her opinion, as long as they were reunited.
Of course, it was possible to reject Lane’s instructions by expressing his intention to refuse and attracting the majority’s opinion. But they didn’t.
It was because the old thoughts came back to me, and I completely returned to my mood at the time.
“Rain Guard On. I was appointed a warrior at the age of 12 and started my adventure at the age of 13. My motto is ‘If it’s not the best, let’s find the next best solution.’
Lane, who said that it will continue in the future and gave off a chill for some reason, bowed his head and finished his self-introduction.
Except for the sajok attached at the end, it was a self-introduction sentence that was not different from the first time we met.
And, like most self-introductions, they followed the type of person who started, and each briefly told the moment they started their adventure, their motto, and what they would say in the future.
Lastly, the self-introduction time, which was lastly with the introduction of Solar, who became a colleague, was over.
“So where are you going?”
Lian, who was fanning a slightly reddened cheek with one hand, asked Lane.
Lane took the question and returned it to Ron.
Because he was the one who asked Mirsen.
Ron nodded, took out the parchment that Mirsen had given him, and then recited the closest location to his current location.
It seemed like he had a pretty good feeling that he already had something to do.
“..so close?”
Their ostensible purpose was to stop demon summoning, so it wasn’t surprising that such a response came back.
After a bit of a startled reaction, Lane nodded and took the lead.
“Let’s go quickly. He might be alive.”

No other words came out. It was their way of doing things at the time of talking.
..
Ron, who was walking through forests without artificial paths and weeds that reached his waist, found the place Mirsen had told him about.
Mirsen’s ‘It’s said to be about 300 steps away from the broken tree.’ It seemed that it would not be easy to find because of the vague information and the overgrown weeds around, but Ron found it without taking too long.
Ron, who had been glancing at the hole drilled vertically into the ground, making it impossible to see inside, tried to go inside to explore. It was a natural behavior as a scout.
It ended up being an attempt due to the simultaneous interception of four people.
“Huh? Why?”
“Don’t go in first. I’ll go in first.”
Ron was dumbfounded. Shouldn’t the scout be the first to go in and figure out safety first? Aren’t adventurers these days not using skirmishers in places like this? Are you worried about safety? There’s a rope wrapped around the body, so there shouldn’t be any worries, right?
“I’m a skirmisher, so wouldn’t it be right for me to go in? Everyone would think so, right?”
Ron said so to get consent and say no, but the other three didn’t agree with him.
His overprotection had usurped even his original role.
Ron wrinkled his brow slightly.
But after less than a day, I couldn’t complain. I traveled without conflict for that long time, but I don’t want conflict to arise immediately after reunion.
They will realize that there is no other way.
‘He’ll give me this role back, knowing that it’s best for me to go down first.’
To put his thoughts to shame, Solar created a familiar with her magical powers and sent it down.
They see the screen shared with their familiar’s field of view floating in front of their eyes.
Ron was speechless.
I didn’t ask why he was silent or why he was still.
Everyone else was united by the idea that he wouldn’t have to throw himself. Of course I thought he would like it too.
The corner of his mouth that was always slightly raised was the same, and his eyes, which contained a lot of emotions, were also covered so he couldn’t be seen.
Because we couldn’t understand each other. It’s because I haven’t revealed what’s deep in my heart from before until now. Because we didn’t communicate.
So I couldn’t even guess.
Ron did not state his purpose. If you say ‘I want to prove my worth’, they will definitely create a scene where they can play an active role for themselves.
He wasn’t stupid and innocent enough to be happy to follow the staged situation as it was.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t expecting this situation.
However, it was only a little more uncomfortable when I was actually in this situation.
He put his greed first and attracted them. He also attracted them in his desire to prove his worth.

Nevertheless, they had signaled him to fall back in front of a dangerous place lest he be hurt. directly.
Just as mercenaries force the nobles who hired them to back down.
Couldn’t admit it.
I didn’t like to admit it.
But I had to admit it.
Even if he killed the sound of footsteps, it couldn’t be quieter than that mass of magical power that flew without even flapping its wings.
He had no choice but to be a backward compatible with a lump of magic that would not take much damage even if he died.
At the point where the sights were linked like this, Ron’s boastful talent for scouting had to be useless.
A substitute has been created
There was a substitute for him, a substitute for everything.
So now, where should I go? What to do?
He was idly watching them as they planned an assault without giving an answer to his advice.
They had nothing to do with the operation they were weaving. When the situation is over, the only thing is to follow me so that I don’t fall behind.
He knew very well that this was in their favor. And it was expected. because I wrote it down
That’s why he grabbed his head, lifted his face, and entered between them.
