chapter 49
49. Guardian Warrior
“… It’s a little hot.”
This is what I said.
“It is very hot.”
This is what Iris said.
“Why is it so hot!!”
The last one was, of course, Master.
For those who are particularly sensitive to heat, the weather in the west is the worst.
To think that the word “Strongest” Would suit the heavenly demon’s weakness in the heat.
If the strongmen knew about this fact, they would have made the battle under the scorching summer sun unconditionally.
Or luring the Heavenly Demon to the desert.
“Disciple! So hot! This is not it! This is not it!”
“This is the journey Master has chosen. May you persevere through evil.”
“There is a limit to what you can endure!”
“Master said this to me in the past.”
“What was it?”
“You can do it. Mental work is also hasabibulseong. I mean.”
Then Master stared blankly at me.
Looking at his expression, it seems that he remembered the moment he said that.
Looking at him stuttering, he seemed to be contemplating how to respond.
“Keuheum, disciple. Where is such a thing? Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you can’t….”
“After I said that, Master is the one who said it would be all right in the end.”
“There are some things you can’t overcome with just your mind… Wouldn’t it?”
“Don’t think about changing your words now. Master.”
I still grind my teeth thinking about climbing a cliff with my bare hands.
That wasn’t something I learned, but in a situation where I didn’t know anything.
I shouted again and again that if I fell, I would die.
The answer that came back was, ‘Mental work is also unforgivable.’
“… Aww!!”
In the end, Master tried to take off the clothes he was wearing, saying he couldn’t stand it any longer.
Thanks to that, Master’s white skin caught the eyes of others, albeit for a moment.
Among them, there was a nobleman who checked the direction by looking at a map.
“Master. Be patient, just a little bit. I want you to keep your body tight.”
“I’m putting up with it because I saw your face. Iris! Try fanning harder.”
“Yes, Teacher Tae….”
Somehow, Iris became Master’s personal fan.
He is fanning himself with a very familiar hand gesture.
Anyway, it seems that this was the same situation before the regression.
Leave Master and Iris in the carriage and quietly approach the nobleman.
She’s trying hard to pretend she didn’t see anything, but she knows that his eyes are on Master.
“… Hiccup.”
She’s even hiccuping there and how can I just get past this.
“Why. Surprised? Have you ever seen skin as fine as jade?”
“Eh? Ah… yes, it is….”
“Yes. There will be no such answer. Yes?”
“Okay. That’s right. I didn’t see anything.”
“Next time, if this happens again, turn your head right away. Otherwise, I will break your neck myself.”
This is not a joke, this is a heartfelt warning.
Immediately nodded intently to see if the aristocrat didn’t notice at all.
“How much further do I have to go now?”
“Not long. If you go in the opposite direction for a day, it will be my territory… You can get to Prohibition in half a day.”
“It’s really not long. Oh, and your manor is a day’s drive from here?”
“Yes. One day and I can go back to where I came from. Yes yes.”
“Then would you like to go home now? I can let you go if you want to go.”
The wounds from being beaten by the master have mostly healed.
I didn’t break my limbs like the escorts did, so walking was no problem.
This guy isn’t the kind of guy who can go to my territory and do anything.
No matter what you do, just press it with force from this side.
“Are you really, really sending me home?”
“Your job is done now. And I did a good job too. How is it. Do you want to go back?”
“If you send it to me, I would really appreciate it. It is something to be truly grateful for.”
“You’re not just going back and bringing the enlisted men, are you? That would be a bit difficult.”
“Even if you say private soldiers, there are less than fifty decent guys. And in my view….”
The nobleman stealthily looks towards the carriage.
It’s not like the first time we met.
It looks like a rabbit trembling in fear while looking at a vicious beast.
“I don’t think I can beat that woman even if I bring all 5 of them.”
“Oh. Are you female? At first they said she was a b*tch. Where did that courage go?”
“At that time, it seems that I really went crazy. Please take a look. Please.”
“Tell me a few times that you don’t intend to kill me. Relax and go to your house.”
“Ah! Go, thank you! Thank you very much!”
“Say no words. Oh, and I will definitely return this wagon later if I get a chance.”
“… Yes?”
At my words, the nobleman looks at me with a blank expression.
In the state of holding on to the inner thoughts that he heard something wrong.
“From here to ban, they said it was half a day. Then you want us to walk for that half day?”
“That, that’s not it… If that’s the case, my estate takes a day, so….”
“I have to walk. We can’t give you a carriage.”
“That, that… The wagon is not mine… Carefully….”
“Wasn’t this wagon exchanged your life for it? If you really want this, I’ll burn your body and send it to you.”
Then the aristocrat said, ‘Uhh!! No, no! It’s done!’ And waved his hand.
“What are you going to do? I will walk, or I will just go with you to the end.”
Why am I taking this guy to the ban?
You did a better job as a guide than I thought.
Seeing that Iris doesn’t particularly restrain herself, it seems that her guidance is as accurate as it is.
Because I am a local there, I am also familiar with the surrounding geography.
It is only natural that a guide like this would make the journey easier.
Also, you might know something about bans, so that might be useful.
“I-I don’t think I have a choice.”
“What are you talking about? The choice is certainly possible. For example, walking while losing weight.”
“Ahahahaha! That’s because, in the West, good-looking men look great!”
“Then I’m not good at it. I am just like that.”
“Ugh! No. A strong man is given the highest priority, followed by a handsome man. Lol. How dare you compare me to someone like this.”
I was wondering how a guy with nothing got a title of nobility.
I don’t think it’s sweet because of this.
Anyway, the saying that you can pay off a thousand-nyang debt with just one word doesn’t just come out of nowhere.
“Then it would be safe to assume that we are going together. Yes?”
“Ayu, am yo. Not so. We will definitely guide you to the vicinity of the ban.”
“We’re not just taking you to a strange place, are you? Just to the place where there are thieves.”
“Don’t say that. Not too long ago, one of the warriors suddenly appeared, so there’s no such thing as that.”
Does the word hero refer to Iris?
Or is he referring to Gerard who came looking for the iris?
No matter who it is, if both of them are thieves, they’re not the kind of guys who would just let it go.
Rather, they’re the ones who will track them down to the end and turn them into powder.
“Then let’s go to the ban soon.”
“Yes, yes. All right. I… By the way. Really worried about the curse… Aren’t you going?”
“No. The divine warrior gave me a blessing.”
“Oh, yes. Do you? The divine warrior gave you a blessing. Ah yes I guess so.”
He was an aristocrat who made it clear that he couldn’t believe it at first glance.
What kind of reaction will you have when you find out later that I am the heroic teacher of the divine?
I had no idea, but I suddenly became curious.
When it was really less than half a day after that.
As the nobility said, we are in a place that people here call forbidden.
I was able to reach the point where it used to be the capital of an ancient kingdom.
The reason why I was so sure.
Of course, there is no such thing as a milestone in such a desolate place.
Instead, it was because there was a group of people who greeted us in front of us.
“….”
“….”
It’s hot in the west. It’s not usually hot either.
Nevertheless, all those who stood in front of us were armed.
It looks like an armor imprinted with magic that takes the wearer’s condition into account.
There’s no way mercenaries and the like are wearing such expensive things.
That means that all of them are ‘knights’.
On the continent, there are only three things you can bring with you like that.
Kings, nobles, and one another, the beings that the knights most want to follow.
“The temple is coming.”
The Holy War. The title they refer to the warriors of protection.
At the word that their hero is coming, the knights line up neatly on both sides.
After that, on this hot day, a man appeared, as well fully armed.
I checked his face and got off the carriage.
And while ignoring the gazes of the other knights.
I looked at the disciple who was walking confidently this way and approached.
“Master.”
Guardian warrior, Gerard Gerenium.
My fourth disciple and the only male character in my deck.
Yes. Of my students, Gerard was the only male.
The developer knew the trick to making money very well.
Sometimes they put out a female character with good performance and a good appearance.
Occasionally, she showed off a female character who was a bit underpowered but came out really well.
Every time that happened, users’ wallets had to be opened.
Sometimes it works well, other times my heart tells me to.
At the same time, the number of male characters was small enough to fit within five fingers.
And there were four of them, but they were mana characters.
Except for just one, just one warrior character.
Actually, this Suho’s warrior character was originally a female.
That’s not a fully armed knight like now, but rather an attractive female with her armor removed.
But it seems that it bothered the uncomfortable people and the unnyas a little bit.
In a situation where there is a lot of talk about commercialization of women, is she even taking off the tanker in charge of the front line?
I can’t get past this! The b*tches who had flocked to it were saying so much.
In the end, the developer changed the slender female character to a male character with good armor.
Thanks to that, it was the users who were struck by lightning.
– No, why the hell are you adding male characters? –
– This is blasphemy. The male car is turned off, the dogs
– No matter how much I prioritize performance, male characters are a bit –
– Pestilence. We play the game, why are you listening to bastards who don’t have opinions? –
At first everyone said that.
I couldn’t help but burst into anger.
It’s not the opinions of the users, it’s the talk of b*tches who don’t help game sales at all.
That’s because I accept it quickly and accept it.
However, after checking the performance, we had to shut up right away.
It is my freedom whether I raise it or not.
By the way, if you don’t raise it, there is no such thing as your human rights in the game.
At this level, the performance of Gerard Gerenium, a male warrior character, was overwhelming.
“I didn’t expect you to come.”
“Then you should come. I heard that a disciple has lost news.”
“If I had been a little stronger, I wouldn’t have asked Master for help. There is no mate to apologize for.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You are enough for now.”
What is Gerard’s performance like?
The living shield itself.
A defensive skill that can unconditionally block any attack.
Although the retention time is not that long.
During that time, he was at a level where he could stand alone even against the fragments of the demon.
“How far has the investigation progressed, Gerard?”
“First, go into the barracks. I will explain slowly.”
As I entered the barracks with him, I let out a sigh.
In terms of performance, personality, if it was a female, it would have been perfect.
f*ck, even the game is talking about women’s rights.
Go to that devotion and lose weight, you damned ones.
