034 Think of it as a picnic (3)
– Hey!
It was Demi who reacted before me.
The guy raised his long, shiny tail and stepped out of the picnic mat.
Repeatedly opening and closing the mouth slowly seemed to threaten or warn of something.
“What did you just say?”
I asked Cardinal Bootier. She only smiled like a picture, but there was no answer.
-Urreung…

Once again, there was a thunderous sound from the ground. The group roared loudly.
I opened the sanctuary without delay.
A golden etheric circle lit up on the picnic mat, and the area expanded steadily according to the owner’s will.
My sanctuary was about 30m in diameter.
It was large enough to protect not only the seven people inside the mat, but also the prince, Kristel, and Demi outside the mat.
There is a way to grow it more than this, well. However, it was impossible to implement immediately.
“Witch.”
Prince Sedric said softly. Canael sighed in surprise.
I quickly got up from my seat and walked over to Demi.
I looked over the hill until my eyes hurt, and a few red dots came into my view.
“Why is the beast here? Obviously, there is a strong barrier around the Imperial Palace…”
I continued speaking and then shut my mouth. Then he turned to the cardinal. no way.
“Everyone seems to have a sore throat, so I opened the barrier on the mountain range for a while. With the help of the guards, they also hang the bait.”
“majesty.”
“Frederic also allowed it. That’s how you made the emperor’s favorite dance hall.”
I swallowed dry saliva. So.
It meant that the emperor and the cardinal, who were enraged by the two protagonists’ harpoon of the indoor dance hall, decided to cast a true education for their one and only son and precious daughter from another’s house.
Is that still the case, you’re going to attract demons to the mountain behind the Imperial Palace? Are there any civilians?
Why are you both like that? Does the prince look like that because they resemble two people?
“If we fight with each other, we will not be able to properly prepare for the ‘Great Subjugation of Beast Beasts’, so I prepared Beast Beasts.”
Don’t say that like today’s lunch menu!
-Woodudoodoo…
“It’s coming.”
Christel said. Drops the size of peas floated from her nervous feet.
The red dots on the edge of the horizon narrowed the distance in an instant and became as large as a fingernail.
– Doo doo doo doo…
“One, two, three······.”
four, five. A total of five beasts were sprinting towards this side without stopping.
I walked out in front of the picnic mat.
The prince and Kristel stood in the front, and I was the formation protecting the cardinal and the party behind them.
“Everyone, don’t go out of the circle.”
“Don’t worry, Prince.”
Benjamin replied calmly.
The mountain keeper Agnes was looking behind him and was figuring out the location of a rock or tree to cover.
Unlike me, the first to see a beast, the locals quickly calmed down if they had any experience.
Except for Canael.
“I’ll just cheer for you.”
The cardinal raised the medicine in a soft voice. Laughter erupted out of nowhere.
I shook my head and consciously let the ether flow down to my fingertips.
Soon, a gentle warmth rushed into the palms of both hands, and an etheric ball the size of a hoppan appeared above them.
“Princess Sarnez, Ether, please do not worry and respond.”
“good. Good for you.”
I clenched and opened my fist.
The golden etheric sphere flickered on and off like a fluorescent lamp.
If the ether flow was smoothed in advance, the support speed would have been faster.
I haven’t used the healing power yet, but if I just follow what I read in the book, it might be possible to get a flat hit…
– Doo doo doo doo…

There was the sound of an animal howling. In the distance, the appearance of the demons could be seen.
It was in the form of a disgustingly bright red bull, with its skin shiny like a snake and a thick mane around its neck.
It also appeared to be twice the size of a normal bull.
It was a bit frightening to run away with a pure white eye light.
“You’re a dodok bull.”
The prince, who had been silent, exhaled.
He took a few steps forward slowly, and drew a sword slanted from his right waist.
‘Dodok (荼毒) bull’?
“A beast in the form of a bull that breathes poison, right?”
“okay.”
My mind calmed down.
When the red pandas appeared in the Imperial Palace, I had seen them while searching through books on magical beasts.
Toxin bulls are herbivorous beasts, but they attack humans by releasing the poison of the plants they eat out of their bodies.
If it was poison, the fire attribute would be much more advantageous, but our strength was only water and the swordsman.
“You shouldn’t be allowed to approach it. They make poison seep into their breath.”
– quiver
Demi cried a little at my words.
I think there was a complaint about the guy hovering under my feet, so I bent one knee and lowered my posture.
“Are you scared? Shall I give you a hug?”
– put
Demi shook her head from side to side once as if it wasn’t, then jumped up with her hind legs on the ground.

OK,
– Cuddly!
– Saaah
The grass in front of Demi began to lie down. No, to be precise…
“It’s a knot.”
The grass and grass were woven together to form a solid joint.
He stretched out his hand and tried to pull it, but the twisted part did not weaken at all.
How to keep the demonic beasts from coming close and deal with it.
A thought suddenly crossed my mind.
“Prince, Princess Sarnez. This is how you do it.”
I suggested
The bright blue eyes and the fiery orange ones looked back at me at the same time.

– mm
– Crunch!
Now the distance is less than 100m.
Five bulls were running towards us, drooling.
The secretions from their tongues burned a few wild flowers.
I shoved the ether into Demi in my arms.
“Demi, can you do it?”
– Kyeung!
“It’s okay, even if it fails, my older sister and older brother will take care of it. two three······.”
The red panda raised its two front paws.
“now!”
– Damn it!
With the sound of a giant watermelon splitting, the hill road was hollowed out.
– mm
-Creung! Big ooh!
The roar of cows and the howling of monsters were mixed, and the bulls, who lost their sense of balance, fell into the sinkhole.
Demi’s positioning was correct, but the hole wasn’t very deep.
– Crumble!
The five fallen animals struggled to get their heavy bodies up.
The prince moved on his own, even if I didn’t give him a signal.
He jumped out at an invisible speed and gracefully swung his left arm holding the sword.
A glimmer of light flashes,
– Aww!
– mm
The sword of the prince cut the vital points of the demonic beasts along with the great pounding sound.
It was truly a low-world sword.
It was hard to believe that he was not yet a Sword Master.
But it wasn’t the time to be dumbfounded.
Two dodok bulls, who barely managed to keep the place safe, were staggering and climbing up the sinkhole.
“Princess Sarnez!”
To her, who was still standing in the circle, I poured all the ether in the water that had been circulating for a while.
The main character was seen smiling brightly like a star. Christel took a deep breath,
“Leave it to me!”
-fault!
He ran out with the sound of light footsteps and went away in an instant.
I admired the characteristics of the paladin, which I had only seen in books.
It was a tremendous physical ability that ordinary people could not even dream of.
It was probably a talent that she would not have awakened in the original story.
-Chalang, chalang…
Near her boots as she approached the sinkhole, water rushed up.
Soon, a wide creek began to gurgling along the slope leading to the sinkhole.
– Koo!
– mm!
As the dry soil turned to mud, the beasts stumbled and fell on the slippery inner wall of the sinkhole.
Then, a huge stream of water poured without mercy and filled the pit.
Even so, the demonic beasts who were weak to water and fire quickly lost their strength as their bodies got wet in earnest.
– Courage…
After some time passed, only one was holding his breath.
-mm
-Chei profit…
The blood and saliva of the beasts dissolved in the water, creating a poison.
I was lucky enough to be able to pool it in one place.
If Kristel had dealt with it alone, it would have been difficult to prevent the poison from spreading, and if only the prince had stepped forward, they would have scattered and the concentration of the attack would have decreased.
-Pureung…
After a rough snort, the last beast closed his eyes.
A sigh of relief escaped, as the strength of his body loosened.
“Prince······.”
Behind the nearest rock, I heard the murmur of Canael, who was holding her breath.
I turned around to see Benjamin, Natalie, David and Agnes looking up at the sky and praying.
I let out a shaky laugh.
“Oh, crazy.”
At that moment, Kristel’s voice reached her ears.
When I turned around in surprise, I saw her standing in an awkward posture just before she fell.
Demi had tied up the grass around it in case the beasts could escape out of the sinkhole, but it looked like it got stuck in it.
“…are you okay?”
“Yes, it is fine. I forgot this.”
she grinned After returning the smile as a courtesy, I turned to the prince.
It’s unlikely, but he, who wasn’t hurt even a hair, made eye contact with me.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
He wanted to argue again, but he didn’t say anything.
He simply tossed the shredded sword on the floor and moved forward.
Now that I see, every sword he uses is weak, so he can’t stand his swordsmanship.
Isn’t there a single sword that is equal to a prince?
“Everyone worked hard. Was it good enough to warm up?”
The cardinal’s soft voice landed gently on the picnic mat.
She was savoring coffee in the same position she had before the herd of bulls came.
Kristel burst into tears and shook her head.
I whispered while stroking Demi, who was digging into her chest.
“Good job, Demi. Today’s MVP is you. You are Pyeongchang.”
– Quiet
The red panda let out a valiant cry. My circles are slowly disappearing.

Sir Elizabeth, who emptied more than half of her plum juice glass at once, had a face that was a bit cooler now.
“For some reason, His Majesty the Cardinal said he was calling out members of the Guard.”
She smiled refreshingly, saying that something she had been wondering about for the past few days had been solved.
In the spring wind blowing into Juliet Palace’s garden, her olive-colored hair fluttered.
A day has passed since I came down the mountain after beating the dodok bull.
Today’s morning tea time was with the guest, Sir Elizabeth Mutte, who came to the party.
“Your Majesty is not interested in knights or military affairs. There is nothing to tangle, though.”
she explained
“However, for some reason, you have found some elite members who have experience in subjugating beasts. He even asked me if I could drive cattle. At the time, I thought this was some kind of joke, but it was for a useful field trip… It’s impressive.”
Sir Elizabeth’s gorgeous gray eyes flashed again and again.
Looking at the eyes of Cardinal Bootier, who has become an icon of riots inside of me, with sincere respect, the future of the empire is…
There seemed to be some sort of fine dust.
“If there is such a picnic in the future, please join me.”
“It was not a picnic.”
“If you eat a bite of Juliet Palace dessert in a beautiful place and play a match of catching a beast, that’s a picnic.”
She was sincere. I smiled bitterly and wet my mouth with burdock tea.
Yesterday’s experience was definitely constructive, but thinking about the much larger and more intense subjugation of the demonic beasts made my heart grow cold.
There are two main characters by my side and I wonder if something big will happen…
– rust
“Prince Jesse.”
With the sound of the grass lying down, Benjamin appeared from one side of the garden.
He was holding a plate with a silver lid in one hand.
I thought they brought snacks for me and Sir Elizabeth.
“There is good news and bad news, but I will tell you the good news first.”
“Ah yes.”
Don’t you usually ask which of the two would you like to hear first?
“The good news is, today’s coconut cake is the best.”
He revealed the contents of the plate.
Coconut powder, ground like ice, of milk shaved ice, was a dessert that was piled up like snow.
In the center was a symbol of the Orthodox Church made of dark chocolate.
Sir Elizabeth exclaimed, ‘It’s a superb view, it’s spectacular’.
The corners of my lips caught on to the really good news.
“And the bad news is…. An interview request has come in, Prince.”
