episode_0002

To be exact, the mental burden of another party member’s appearance was relieved.

“What about the Demon King? Did he fail?”

The reason she, who is called the most extraordinary sage among us, started talking about failure is probably because I am still here.

The contract with the God of Light was to return to Earth immediately after defeating the Demon King, so Millet’s reaction was reasonable.

“The Demon King has been destroyed. I asked the God of Light and was given a brief reprieve. ”

“… Is that so? Then why did we faint?”

No, it’s rippling as you touch your forehead.

He shook his head and then started to act to grasp the current situation. There was a reason he was the brain of the party.

“That’s because the Demon King put a curse on it.”

“Sure. That was it… .”

Thinking deeply, as if recalling a memory.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, warrior. It was just our mistake to let our guard down thinking it was the last time.”

I was grateful for the consideration shown by the older member of the party.

That’s why I secretly relied on it many times.

“Rather, we should be grateful. Thank you, warrior. For protecting us and not returning to Earth.”

Furthermore, I feel like blaming myself for receiving words of thanks.

Even more amazing is his keen insight into the situation in such a short period of time.

“… Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe.”

I was afraid that they would blame each other, saying things like I was careless and couldn’t protect them, or that it was their fault for being cursed. So I held back my words.

“But, Saintess, why are you doing this now?”

“Ah, that’s-.”

Kio… In order for Amijel to use the miracle of resurrection, he had to quickly recover his power, and I could have just told him that this position was the best for recovery, but I felt embarrassed to say it myself, so I held back my words for another reason.

“Hehehe-.”

Even though I wanted Amizel to explain it to me directly, she just smiled brightly and clung to me, which only deepened the misunderstanding.

“I just took the best posture for prayer, for recovery. I almost exhausted my holy power in the battle with the Demon King, and this is the best way to use the miracle of resurrection on those who sacrificed themselves for us.”

At a delicate moment when it was too late to ask if he was ignoring her, Amijel brought up the subject.

“Cook. Is that so? However, to me, it seems like excessive contact, so I think it would be better to just leave now. It seems that the warrior knew that you were making ridiculous excuses to throw a tantrum anyway and gave in. ”

Millet scoffs at the absurd answer and easily dismisses Amijel’s actions.

It’s true that I knew what Millet said and still did it.

“Tsk-! It’s not a whim or an excuse, but it’s true that when you pray in the arms of a warrior, you recover much better than usual!”

“Does that mean that I can also stick close to the hero to recover my magic power?”

“That’s….”

Amizel alone is dangerous, but if Millet is attached to me, it will be hard to endure. Now that Millet has woken up, I am starting to think that it is time to stop whining about Amizel.

“Huh? Judging from your unpleasant expression, you said that you were allowed to do it, but not the woman you were talking about? You don’t even get annoyed by the obvious excuses like a child’s whining. How rude.”

Millet tells us about an expression that cannot be seen because the chin is right under Amizel’s crown as she sits cross-legged.

“Whinning, nagging… But the warrior gave permission!”

“That’s right. How shameless to take advantage of the warrior’s kindness.”

“Mi, are you jealous of Millennium because she keeps getting rejected by the warrior?”

“It-!”

I was about to intervene in the argument that was becoming more intense than usual, but stopped when an interesting remark came out. Millet’s captivating eyes met mine and then turned back to Amijel.

“… Phew-. That’s right. I’m really jealous of the fact that you allowed me to be a saint while rejecting me because I’m married. Is that enough now?”

At some point, I started to build a wall around the party members who had been courting me, but I took good care of Amijel, and even though I knew that it was hurting them, I tried to push myself forward.

Unlike Amizel, who is not an adult, they have status, position, and dignity, so it will be okay.

Even now, I am mature in that I accept it honestly and deal with it.

“Can’t you see that the warrior is having a hard time?”

“Are you having a hard time, warrior?”

“Oh no.”

“I heard you’re having a hard time?”

Amijel stutters slightly at the sudden question and grimaces at Mille, saying, “It’s okay.”

Rather, the more I do this, the more it reminds me of my cousins fighting over my older cousin whom they haven’t seen in a long time.

“If a saint whines like that, who can say no? What she is really worried about is not physical problems, but rather, arguments that start with awkward troubles regardless of the place. If she wants to prove that she is not an innocent child, she should start to discern the situation and stop acting like a child.”

It’s really a clean sweep. Does Amizel hate this that much? Or is it the effect of a curse?

It would be a lie to say that the situation where Amijel was speechless after briefly reminiscing and then Millet’s soft counterattack wasn’t interesting.

“Are you still sitting there believing that the warrior is not having a hard time? Then I will correct myself. The warrior is having a hard time. Surely the warrior is not a bad child who continues to satisfy his greed even though he is having a hard time, right?”

Furthermore, by asking and answering questions without giving time for a response, he proved that the curse cast by the Demon King was more powerful than expected and its effectiveness.

“Saintess. I acknowledge that you have contributed to the party while still young. However, the Demon King has been defeated, but we are still stuck in the center of the Demon King’s Castle. I understand that the Saintess follows the Hero like a brother, but for now, I would like you to act according to the situation.”

Millet’s words were quite cold to Amijel, who, despite her youthful appearance, was acting like a mature adult with a lot of knowledge, but was now acting like a young girl of her age. However, Millet’s words were right, as they were still in the middle of enemy territory.

Even though the level of urging was occasionally so fierce that it was hard to take my eyes off it.

“Ugh-, ugh… I understand, Lady Irona. I’m sorry… . I was reckless. ”

I was worried that Amizel might throw a tantrum and escape, but I was relieved when she quietly fell off.

No matter how much I treated her like a younger sister and thought of her, I could feel the limits of my mental strength when I held Amizel, who was no different from my own wife, in this position.

“I’m glad you realized it now.”

“Yes, I was reckless, Irona.”

The result of this conversation was Amijel, who could not hide his regret, and Millet, who was simply satisfied.

“What… ?”

Rather, I had to stand up because of Amizel, who had stopped in front of me with a start.

“Warrior?”

I suddenly got up because Amijel’s butt was twitching right in front of my nose, and since I was a pure Amijel, I might have sunk in shame if I had pointed out the embarrassing and accidental incident.

“Haha, nothing. More importantly, Millet. How many remnants do you think are left in the Demon King’s Castle?”

So when I turned my attention to them, fortunately, both of them seemed to be unaware of the situation I had been in and seemed to be calm.

“Wait a minute.”

Millet, who had been giving advice as an adult, takes a moment to gather himself and concentrate on feeling the magic around him. I also expanded my detection range to the outside of the castle and swept away the small bugs that were rushing in, but if you decide to hide your energy, it will be hard to find, so I asked Millet to do the same.

‘Hairy hairy’

My attention briefly turned to Amizel, who was belatedly shaking her buttocks after watching Mille who was concentrating. I was worried whether she was really okay because her face was blushing.

“Hit-….”

I wonder if I’m being overly concerned, since I only slightly touched the side of my cheek while showing my back.

As other colleagues complained, it was not good to favor only Amijel.

At least for now, we need to be more careful of those who are still asleep than those who are awake.

“… … The energy is so strong.”

“Is there nothing else besides us?”

For a moment, the waves of magical power spread across Millet and then subsided, so I asked what I had been hoping for.

“I guess so. Even though you attacked with such care and a diversionary tactic, I still can’t believe you destroyed that Demon King.”

“That, the Demon King tried to finish me off while I was unconscious, but he disappeared on his own.”

I didn’t know that I could destroy the Demon King with just this much damage.

We won thanks to the arrogant being who took it upon himself to confront us alone, but what would have happened if that hadn’t been the case?

That’s how reckless this operation was.

The demon lord I actually faced was formidable.

“I don’t doubt the hero. However, I can’t deny that I was half-doubting the success of this operation.”

Since he was the person who most opposed this operation, I could understand such remarks.

The content was about attacking the Demon King’s castle, which was left vulnerable while the Demon King’s army was fiercely fighting with the Pula Alliance forces.

It was a possible operation because the reconnaissance team that went to check with the possibility of a trap in mind obtained information that the Demon King’s core force was absent. If not for this, there was a sense of haste because they didn’t know when the next opportunity to defeat the Demon King would come.

“Hahaha, that’s right.”

As a result, we won and the Demon King was destroyed.

I’m still in another world.

So, before the God of Light awakens, my job is to wipe out the remnants of the Demon King’s army?

Now that I’ve destroyed the Demon King, I’d like to leave this to others.

The contract made with the God of Light is for the destruction of the Demon King, not the annihilation of the Demon King’s army.

Strictly speaking, even if I, an outsider, were to get more involved, it would only amount to meddling unless I become part of another world.

It may be selfish of me to think this way as a warrior, but I was very tired from coming here and wanted to rest.

I wanted to go home. I wanted to go back to my family.

“But, warrior. Were you planning to return to Earth once our safety was secured?”

Mille was relieved to hear that there was no one else but us, so she was careful.

“I wish that were the case, but that’s going to be difficult for the time being.”

“… Why?”

I always feel that the wizard race is a race of explorers, and as their nickname suggests, there are many things they are curious about.

Or maybe he just wants to make sure I don’t go right away.

“That’s because the God of Light spent a lot of energy sending me back here and fell into an indefinite sleep.”

“Are you saying that Piruora fell asleep, warrior?!”

It is only right for Amijello to react to the news that the God of Light has fallen asleep, as she is a saint chosen by the God of Light.

“I see… Then, the warrior will stay here a little longer until he wakes up again.”

“That’s right. So, even though I’m not a believer of the Light God, I think I should put in some effort to restore my divine power.”

There are two main problems we face now.

It was the restoration of the divine power of the God of Light and the relief from the curse the Demon King placed on the party members.

However, it is true that the goals of increasing faith and removing curses are approached a bit awkwardly.

“Then, does that mean there is still hope for the woman’s proposal?”

While I was worrying about these things, Millet openly said.

“… I told you I’m married?”

“It doesn’t harm her at all.”

When the operation to attack the Demon King’s Castle was decided, the party members who had been with me since I was first summoned each called me out separately and confessed their feelings.

From Amijel, a saint who serves God and a girl who has the courage to convey her feelings, to Millet, who has always been courting her, asking her to be his companion, everything is in full swing.

“Warrior-. No, you. I like you. This is the same whether it was love at first sight or as time passes.”

Long ago, Millet, who had a connection with the warrior party in the past, said that he would not regret it this time and restrained Miocchi, a descendant of the previous warrior.

When I was urged to raise a non-human magic knight since there was a human magic knight, I was perplexed.

I even heard that I could just sow the seeds and go without having to support them, but my deep-rooted Confucian ideology did not easily allow me to encourage irresponsible pleasure.

This is all because I am not familiar with the common sense of this world.

Even though Millet said she was okay, she didn’t want to just impregnate him and then disappear back to Earth, because he was her child anyway.

Rather, it is better for my mental health to minimize the traces of my visit.

“Anyway, let’s talk about that later, Amijel. Is the resurrection happening yet?”

How long has it been since I asked Amijel to discern the place?

Once Millet’s courtship begins, it becomes difficult to deal with the subject until someone intervenes, so it’s a topic of conversation.

“Amizel… ?”

But it was still Millet who responded to this title.

“Ah, that’s what I decided to call it.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

He always called her Kio, so when I called him by his name, he narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He was particularly stubborn towards Millet, as was everyone else, so it was understandable that he would feel uncomfortable if I called him by his name right away.

“Other people call me by my first name, but I feel sad that I’m the only one called by my last name.”

Another thing that was not funny was that, contrary to the fact that he took special care of Amizel among the party members, he only called Amizel by her last name.

Is that why?

Even though he’s smiling while answering brightly, I don’t get the feeling that he’s smiling.

“This is how it feels to be called by your name, warrior. It’s so good, I wonder why I never asked you to call me by that name before.”

He approached Millet lightly, speaking softly. It was a bit embarrassing to see him giving meaning to it, but he didn’t bother to interfere because he was serious.

It felt a bit late to call her Amizel now. I felt like I was too insensitive when she liked me so much.

In our country, calling someone by their last name feels unsentimental and sometimes even rude, but in foreign countries, calling someone by their last name is common.

In the first place, Korean surnames are usually one-character, so if you just say the surname, it feels short and you feel like you’re being condescending, right?

Even if you call them Kim or Park, unless you know them, if you just call them Kim or Park, they’ll feel like you’re troubling them.

Of course, if a foreigner does that, they will just ignore it and say they don’t know about this culture.

“Hehehe, Yongsani-im. If you hug me tightly and gently pat my head… I think I can use Resurrection now.”

“Hmm, really?”

I decided that it would be better to be indifferent to Mille, who had just gotten in trouble with me and kept acting up.

“Hehehe. Hehehe… .”

After a while, Amijel stands in front of me again, moving around a bit, making me wonder what he is going to do.

Or maybe he’s secretly waiting for me to do something.

“Um-.”

Even if Millet didn’t just stare at him with an uncomfortable expression, he knew that Amijel had made up the story to suit his own desires.

It may not be entirely false that if you grant her requests, her sexual powers will recover better, but Millet’s main complaint is that it is not really necessary to do so in a place like this.

“Wasn’t what you did before enough?”

“Hot-! No way… !”

Now, we should consider accepting Amijel’s complaints as Millet had said.

If Amijel were to treat me rationally, I’m sorry, but Amijel would have no choice but to build a wall around me like she did to the other party members.

“Ahaha, that’s-.”

The way she approached him, so close that he had to raise his head slightly because of the height difference, made him hesitate. The fingers she held together as if praying were trembling, and the girlish gestures of her age were cute to watch.

But, since he didn’t do it as freely as before, his movements became unruly and he lost his sense of control.

If I tell you how I felt, saying that her fists were clenched slightly as if she was determined and that she was acting cute, as if she had something to say, would she be embarrassed or would she get angry and tell you not to treat her like a child?

“Yo-yong-sa…! Yoo, yo-hoo?”

A thought that stopped for a moment at the sudden action that skipped over some intermediate process. It was not that I didn’t know why Amijel was doing this, but seeing that it was unfamiliar, I could tell that he had really been clinging to me purely up until now.

Instead, it is difficult to react to the awkward situation.

It seemed to me that she was trying to act cute, but although she was attractive enough to make any man fall for her, I had already seen her goofy side, so I held back the laughter that was about to burst out, just twitching the corners of my lips.

“Ugh-! Why is someone called a saint so annoying… .”

One Mille is dissecting what she saw here again, and she openly expresses her discontent. However, I am not fooled, and I know that she is trying to show me this too.

“Oh! Mille, are you okay?”

Although it looked cute at first glance, I asked because I thought it wasn’t a curse that could be taken lightly because of the behavior that made me feel drunk at first glance.

It’s because the saint couldn’t overcome a common curse.

“My dear, you have spoken well. The main woman is very angry at the current state of affairs of the saint. Therefore, if you wish to appease the main woman’s anger, I demand that you do the same to the main woman as the saint, and if you do not do so, I firmly declare that I will be consumed by indiscriminate jealousy. ”

When I asked what the Demon King’s curse was, I heard this unexpected statement.

In fact, even if you hear it so often that you don’t feel like it’s a big deal.

“No, that’s not it… .”

A crown of hair that is slightly exposed and magically fluttering.

The conclusion is that he also wants to be used to it.

It’s dizzying to see grown women like this, especially Millet, who is the oldest.

Even if you can’t do it, you’ll get a headache as the age units increase.

“Yongsan-im. Welcome.”

At first, she tried to seduce him as if she was embarrassed and impatient, but soon, as if she had gained some resilience from the shameful act, Amijel started to throw a tantrum, not wanting to give in to Millet who was showing that she was uncomfortable. Earlier, I had inferred that it was a regression of childhood or something, but this was clearly something she knew about but was deliberately pretending not to know in order to compete.

“Saint! I’ve been asking you to do something difficult for me, warrior. Are you not aware of me at all?”

He pretended to urge Amijel, as if he still had some dignity left, but I couldn’t tell if he was being sincere or if he was just acting for my sake.

“… Hehehe, that’s groundless, Irona-nim. This is a very appropriate act that I asked the warrior for permission for when necessary? Recovery is usually the most effective when you are resting comfortably. So don’t you know that I am the one yielding to Irona-nim?”

If I had made this excuse earlier, I wouldn’t have gotten in trouble so much.

I guess there was an epiphany that made me change my attitude.

“You’re giving in? To your wife?”

“That’s right. In order to revive those who sacrificed themselves for us, we need to recover as quickly as possible. For that, the attitude that Irona-nim pointed out earlier was perfect, but I hope you understand that I stepped down because I thought of Irona-nim, who is a princess, even though she is not of my age.”

The attitude of initially accepting Millet’s point and then refuting it as if it were a lie seems to be a prepared attitude.

Well, since you’ve overcome your shyness and started talking to me, it’s like you’ve already jumped into a war between women. And more than that, you’re talking about age to Millet.

Millet tried not to care, but was that as easy as it sounds?

“What the hell is this… .”

Amijel’s reckless remarks have caused concern that the previously peaceful party may be in turmoil.

It doesn’t seem like the issue will be resolved even if I, as a party involved, mediate.

They were like this in front of me, so I couldn’t even imagine how much they would fight amongst themselves when I wasn’t around.

“The child of the one who brightens the whole world. For a long time, she has kept her position as a princess because no one has been able to match her. Although she says it herself, she is very noble. On the other hand, the one who should be revered as a saint has not yet lost her childishness. A child is still a child.”

“Ugh… !”

The relationship between the two is like oil and water. They had been quiet until now, but it was strange that they were arguing now.

“What’s more, a representative of God not only doesn’t care about his words and actions, but he’s also so jealous… .”

“I think the timing is something that Ironanim would do?”

Is this match right after the first match?

I wondered if this was the same Amijel who was usually a devout believer and would defend others rather than slander them.

Even though they are both priests and demons.

“This woman is always sincere in love.”

Millet didn’t hesitate to use an unfamiliar word in a rather bold remark.

“A saint who pretends to be innocent and lures men to belittle other women, and even makes the person she likes feel uncomfortable, is a bit crude, but she is so dirty.”

“Ugh… … !”

This time, Amizel is flustered by Millet’s attack. Millet usually consoles Amizel when giving advice, but the two, who seemed to be on good terms, are suddenly acting like this, so he becomes confused.

Although it was Amizel who started the fight without embellishment, I had a secret expectation that he would do the same this time, as he had always shown dignity as an adult, so he would not take Millet’s side.

But what I was seeing now was not a scene of reading, but a simple quarrel.

“Hey, aren’t you ashamed to say such things to me while flirting with a warrior who already has a master?!”

This must have been embarrassing even for me, who has a wife on Earth, so I wondered how Millet would react if he heard this story from someone else.

“Not at all-! I’ve always said this, but this woman is always sincere in love. Of course, you might think she’s a woman with a light bottom because she declared that she’d be okay if you just made her pregnant, but in the first place, you can only ask one person to make you pregnant. So asking her to make you pregnant is the greatest kind of love and sincerity you can show to the other person!”

“Ugh-… !”

Amijel’s mouth closes again in front of Millet, who is expressing his opinion almost eloquently.

“Do you know?! Even if the person I love leaves me behind, I can still raise him/her as long as there is proof of love…!”

I too was speechless and dumbfounded.

“… I guess that person gave in so easily in the past?”

Then, Amijel brought up a story that I had only heard in history, and it was so violent that it made me feel uneasy as I listened to it.

“Cook-! Saintess, if you want to provoke me into an emotional fight, you’ve come a long way. And didn’t you say that story is different from the truth because it was passed down among humans as they pleased?”

“Ugh… .”

However, it was really amazing that Millet did not fall for Amijel’s provocation, so in my opinion, the winner of this fight was Millet.

“Cook, you.”

“Huh?”

At a time when he was at a loss as to how to comfort Amizel, who was almost crying, Mille called him and said in a calm manner.

“Let the whining child over there be comforted as he pleases. I also do not want to overlook those who sacrificed themselves for us.”

The jealousy that was briefly shown to Amijel, who was acting up, was allowed to be appeased as if it were intentional.

“Why are you doing this, Saintess? Didn’t you want the warrior’s care?”

“… Smile.”

Even though Millet was complaining to Amizel, who was depressed by the decision loss, it only seemed like the composure or deception of a winner.

“If you can recover early and use Resurrection, I hope you will use it without delay. After that, I will make sure everyone returns safely, so don’t worry.”

“… … .”

Come to think of it, rather than waiting until Amijel could use Resurrection, it would have been enough to just return all party members, including the corpses, to Millega’s kingdom.

“Amizel. If recovery is difficult as Millet said, should I return for now?”

Even though he tried to intervene to help Amijel, who was losing the fight, it was difficult to interfere because Millet was sticking to his beliefs no matter what.

It would be better to return according to Millet’s opinion.

“If that’s what you want, sir. I will do that… .”

Amijel was forcing himself to agree, with his head bowed and mentioning me.
