episode_0030

An investigation team came to the cradle under a solemn order from the imperial family.

After several days of detailed work, they called the mission over and returned.

[This incident taught us two things. ]

As always. With a short but big conclusion.

[One is that a new enemy has appeared before us. ]

[The other one is. New heroes have bloomed. ]

*

The first person to receive the title of cradle hero was, of course, Deus.

The appearance of a new enemy. However, a new hero follows him.

This is clear proof that we will never be defeated.

It was natural for the seniors to cheer and come forward to rinse their mouths.

But, that has to be possible. How are you going to lift that steel-like junior?

“Hey! Martial arts talents! Cheer up!”

“Gyaaa!! Oh, no! can not! Junior, I’m sorry! Well, I’m definitely not saying it’s heavy!”

“I’m really fine.”

In the end, loud applause was all he received.

The students felt very sorry, but Deus didn’t mind.

What if someone breaks their arm while rinsing their clothes?

“Luciel senior! You are truly amazing!”

“Yes?”

“Student President! As expected, casting my vote for the chairman was the best choice!!”

“Eh?”

“It’s Teacher Smith! Teacher!!”

“Why me?!”

Next, the members of the contingent and Mr. Smith also became heroes.

While other teachers are away, here at the crib and for the students.

Without hesitation, I rushed at an unknown enemy I didn’t even know about.

The reason is that a very important cornerstone of victory was finally achieved.

‘how. why? ‘Why us?’

‘The person who defeated that strange monster was Deus Junior?’

‘no! I was hit so hard that I even fainted?!’

Luciel too. Nefertido too. Mr. Smith too. And other members of the detachment as well.

Everyone was perplexed, but did not openly question that part.

Announcement of the results of the investigation team. [The other one is. New heroes have bloomed. ] part.

This is because the imperial family means that the credit for this Cradle Incident will not be placed on one person.

Since everyone was very sensitive, I had a rough idea of the situation.

‘if. Did the Emperor himself express his intention?’

‘no way. Deus junior said he would take care of his seniors… ? ‘Oh my goodness!’

‘no! do not be like this! If this happens, the teacher’s pride will only be further damaged!!’

I’m saying that on the inside, but what can I do?

The investigation team has already reached a conclusion and it has been made known to the outside world.

“Um.”

And Deus was watching it all with satisfaction.

“Captain Helken. Can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it? If it were a request from the hero who protected the cradle, I would listen.”

“What happened in the cradle this time? I would like you to announce that it was not just me who played an active part, but the contingent also had a certain share.”

Deus still remembers the expression Helken made upon hearing those words.

why? Would you say it was a face full of questions?

“Hmm. Can I ask why?”

“Isn’t it better to have multiple heroes than one hero? The atmosphere of the empire is also turbulent, but I think it’s a good thing. … what. Or not?”

Huh. Helken let out a sigh of bewilderment.

However, he was also quickly calculating Deus’ words in his mind.

surely. Considering the current mood of the empire, one hero is not enough.

If I tell you the truth, there is a possibility of relying too much on that one thing.

It could also be an excuse to further annoy the damn ability chauvinists.

Anyway, the fact that Deus defeated that demon doesn’t change.

However, now the contingent’s activities will be slightly more added.

If that’s the case, I think it would be okay for the investigation team to use a moderate amount of effort.

“The only thing the investigation team could do was that the contingent and the teacher inflicted some damage, and then the Deus student took over and struck the fatal blow. It’s like this. It goes without saying, but the biggest axis is you-”

“That is enough. I know very well that I cannot completely erase my achievements.”

“Good. Then let’s try to steer in that direction. Wait. I have to report it first.”

As some sort of transaction took place, a somewhat satisfactory picture emerged for everyone.

The imperial family can assert its authority even more because it has none other than the princess.

The nobles show their noble sacrifice by mentioning the noble students who formed the main part of the contingent.

In the cradle, it is known that the teacher is willing to take the lead for the students.

This is an empire that lost dozens of talented people due to a nationwide large-scale gate manifestation.

Those who were depressed by the atmosphere will be cheered up by this news.

Because, not anywhere else, the students of the cradle showed heroic deeds.

If it’s false. What on earth does Deus himself gain?

Maybe this kid. Are you saying that you even want to voluntarily sacrifice yourself!

The answer to that can be found in the following self-talk.

“I can finally focus on exercising quietly… !”

The time until the demon is defeated and the investigation team comes to a conclusion.

How many curious looks did I encounter even in that short period of time?

It was in the basement of the main building, which was given out because students did not come often.

But suddenly, the number of students coming down to the basement for no reason doubled.

Some even snooped around and asked, ‘Can I exercise here?’ I used to ask.

It was a bonus that his face was filled with fear and tension!

‘ah. Please. ‘Don’t disturb my daily routine!’

They are not crazy about exercising 24 hours a day like some kind of fighting tribe.

But there is something I have been doing for a while. Because it would be a shame to lose them.

For that reason, I make sure to follow a set routine at a set time.

I feel anxious if I don’t do it. I feel like I have committed some big sin.

Those who know know. Anyone who has experienced it can only nod their heads.

It’s annoying for no reason. I’m nervous. I’m exercising because I thought it wouldn’t work.

“Phew. Phew.”

A handstand push-up that starts with supporting your huge body with just one thumb.

After completing 100 reps in an instant without taking a single break, you take a short break.

‘Management must be done unconditionally. Even if we cannot become stronger here, maintaining the status quo is essential.’

There is something I felt while fighting (or one-sidedly beating) the devil, Jagan.

It will never be easy. Because he is not invincible.

At the last moment, he realized that Deus was immune to weapons.

That means that the next generation can also understand it.

Otherwise, one of Deus’s strengths will disappear.

A stronger body. A body like steel. That’s the only way to live.

Weapons are blocked with oaths, and enemy attacks are blocked with muscles. That’s it!

‘Now that I think about it, I heard that a new training organization has been created for talented people. ‘Should I choose that?’

Deus was struggling with money issues just a few days ago.

But I’m thinking about how such a person would suddenly start a new life.

“Ah. Deus student. The body of the guy you caught. I want to take it to the investigation team headquarters like this. Don’t worry, we will give you generous compensation.”

“Really?”

“In this situation, a certain amount of compensation is given to the person who catches the monster. Didn’t you know?”

What if you know, what if you don’t know? I got the most important money.

When Deus heard the fairly large sum, he thought to himself, ‘Good!’ He shouted.

That was the source of my current worries about whether to buy a new product or not.

Go further than that. Currently, Deus was even dreaming big dreams.

‘Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to rent the entire basement here and turn it into a huge training ground? I think it would be perfect if I just set up a barrier and control my strength, right?’

It was an imaginary story that would make the people involved in the cradle faint if they heard it.

*

-Hmm. joy

Tapping my toes. The red-eyed woman hums.

Sharp fangs flash between slightly opened lips.

“Grand Duke. You really have to go now.”

A man standing nearby lets out an eerie voice.

The sight of him burning alive is extremely grotesque.

“Ah. boring. Why do you keep coming? Didn’t the meeting end last time?”

“They say things went wrong.”

“Asshole idiots.”

He looks like he’s dying of annoyance and roughly wraps himself in a black cloth.

Then he nods his head as if asking the man to take the lead.

“I will open the door.”

Suddenly, I put both hands on my chest! and stab it.

Then, as I tear it to both sides and pull it, a huge door of flame opens.

As the woman throws herself inside, the surrounding scenery changes.

From red to gray. From gray again to dark red.

In the end, there was only black darkness.

“It’s late.”

A pair of yellow eyes twinkle beyond the darkness.

Looking at that figure, the woman snorted.

“Get out. How long has it been since I sang it?”

“Cheeky bitch.”

“The damn guy.”

“On a subject that rolls around like a pig.”

“They flatter me like a fly.”

As they exchange friendly words, life begins to bloom between them.

Another pair of eyes watching this sigh as if it were pitiful.

“Let’s do both in moderation, right?”

““You shut up.””

It’s always like this. Only in this case are the hands and feet in perfect harmony.

Just as I was about to sigh again.

―Thump thump

Someone knocks on the iron plate to ventilate the surroundings.

“Take it seriously. I didn’t call you that for nothing.”

“Of course it should be so. If you called me for some idiotic reason, I won’t stay quiet.”

“A bitch like a pig until the end.”

“That’s enough.”

No more words came out as the voice sounded like metal scraping metal.

“The vanguard suffered.”

“Said?”

“It is not a simple defeat. dead. Even losing the notes.”

“How are you?”

“You’re being a damn bastard.”

Insults erupt from all directions. There is no pity for the dead.

Only ridicule and ridicule filled this interior.

“At the last moment, fragmentary information about the enemy was conveyed.”

The sound of fingers snapping.

Someone’s heavy breathing and painful moans can be heard.

followed by Someone’s next words fill the darkness.

[The sound of a trumpet echoing in the dawn sky. ]

“… Is this all?”

“Unfortunately, there is no next time. It looks like a pretty intense battle took place.”

“It must have been fierce because he wasn’t an easy guy.”

“Anyway. Now that the person who established the vanguard has died, we want to establish a new vanguard. If you have a good guy in mind, please tell me.”

Then, the yellow eyes from before were about to say, ‘I am-‘.

“Giggles… !”

The woman who came through the flame gate suddenly bursts into laughter.

“What are you doing?”

“Sorry, sorry. But, hehe! It’s so, so funny! Ahahaha! What, dawn? Trumpet?”

“… .”

“Oh, I’m going crazy! Tsk tsk tsk! Even lower creatures seem to have some sense of aesthetics! Heeheehee!!”

“… Just focus first. Still in meeting.”

Despite receiving warnings, the woman could not suppress her laughter.

At the same time, I was very curious about what kind of crazy person would say something like that.

So, when the brief meeting was over and we returned to our original place.

“… for a moment. What did you say just now?”

“I want to go!”

The burning man with his chest closed makes a dumbfounded expression.

“The vanguard has not yet been determined. Above all, once the door is opened, a huge amount of strength is consumed, so the door cannot be opened from this side for a while. There is no meaningful support.”

“I know.”

“You said you would go even though you knew.”

“No. It’s called dawn. It’s called a trumpet! I burst out laughing the moment I heard that?”

If there had been a sound effect called ‘ㅋㅋㅋㅋ’, it would have been included in every line of the woman’s lines.

The man, who judged that it was impossible to stop him, gave up and said, “Just do it yourself.”

She is extremely lazy and doesn’t even like going to meetings.

By saying that he would go over on his own, he had already made up his mind.

“Hehehehe! ah. I’m really looking forward to it. How many idiots are there!?”

If I had to go back and forth with Jagan, I would still do more than the basics.

It may sound like a stupid thing to say, but it can be a toy to play with!

The grinning red-eyed woman waited for a moment.

Soon the burning door opens again and the man gestures.

“Ready. Let’s go. Astaroth.”
