“If the World Tree is polluted and completely withers, it will have a huge negative impact on the ecosystem of the entire continent. Are you going to ignore this situation just because there is no compensation? You are a warrior who has received the divine order from the goddess to save the world.”

“Fuck you….!”

After he cut me off with harsh language.

Hyunwoo stood up from his seat and shook his head in a grand manner.

“You may be talking a little too much, but the bottom line is that you’re going to have to spend months doing something that doesn’t pay you a dime. I’m not stupid enough to argue with a swindler like you who’s good at talking. As always, let’s decide this by majority vote. ”

— Ugh….

“Okay, anyone against it?”

Hyunwoo raised his hand confidently.

but….

“……….”

“…………..”

The party members sitting around the table simply remained silent.

“Huh, what…? Hey, what is it? Is there anyone against it?”

“……….”

“Are you guys out of your mind? It’s unpaid labor that won’t pay you a penny, a journey that will take over three months, and it’s dangerous! It’s not a guild request, so it won’t even help with party promotion!”

“Zion’s hometown is in a critical situation. We have to take that risk.”

“Cream too… I think Hier Oppa’s opinion is right about this….”

“Ugh….ugh…..”

Ignoring Hyunwoo, who was making a sound as if he had chewed something.

I nodded and continued the story.

“Is it 3 to 1? Then let’s proceed with this.”

“Yes~!”

“Okay.”

“It will be a long journey, so we must prepare well before we set off. Krimhilt, go to the capital immediately tomorrow and get permission from the bishop to enter the Brombars Ancient Temple. Sion, send a letter to your acquaintances in the Yggdra Forest, asking them not to make any rash moves and to wait. ”

“Yeah….”

“Excuse me… But why do I need permission to enter?”

“If you are a bishop of the church, you should be aware of the information about this situation. You can just say that it is to purify the World Tree pollution. ”

“Oh, is that so…..?”

“And the three of us will go to the market tomorrow to rent a carriage and buy some supplies…..”

— Bam…!!

at that time.

Hyunwoo kicked the table roughly.

With dishes and bottles of alcohol strewn about, and glasses dropping and rolling around on the floor.

“Don’t go.”

Hyunwoo declared with a firmly twisted expression.

“Warrior…. Brother? What are you talking about…..”

◦ I ignore all the opinions of people, and do you want to participate in the martial arts.

“Warrior. This matter was decided by agreement and majority vote among the party members. And we did not ignore you…..”

“Shut up!!!”

— Kwajangchang!!

After kicking the bottle of liquor on the floor, he silenced Julia.

The warrior repeated his blustering declaration in a confident tone.

“Anyway. I have no intention of taking on such a shitty job that doesn’t even pay, so if you’re going to go, you guys go.”

Ugh…..

That little shit looks really pissed…..

While I was worrying over how to handle this ridiculous situation.

— Dulkerdung…..

The first to speak was Julia.

“Okay.”

“…….Huh?”

“If that’s what you want, then there’s nothing we can do. Fortunately, it looks like we won’t need the power of the Holy Sword for this task. The four of us will go and come back, so you can enjoy your rest for the time being.”

Looking at Julia with dilated pupils.

Hyunwoo opened his mouth with difficulty and tried to speak.

“Ah, no… wait…. just…. Yu, Julia….. What are you talking about…..”

“Are you two okay?”

“………”

“Yeah.”

Krimhilt avoids eye contact without saying a word.

Zion nods confidently.

The party’s opinion was decided by the agreement of the two people.

“Then, let’s meet in front of the Labyrinth City Plaza at 10 AM tomorrow. Please take care of Cream’s permission.”

“You, you guys…. Ugh…. You guys….. right now……….”

Ignoring Hyunwoo, who was shivering while sitting on the floor.

I paid for the drinks and the broken plates, and left the bar with the other party members.

After parting ways with the three people, I entered the alley leading to my lodgings.

— Thud, thud….

A familiar sound of footsteps followed behind me.

“–Hire.”

“What’s going on? I’m going to be busy starting tomorrow…. I think it’d be better to go to bed early today.”

— Swish….

After following right beside me with quiet steps.

She– Zion whispered in a small voice.

“Thank you.”

“…….What?”

“Now you’re acting like a fool…? Hehe… Well, that’s just like you…..”

— Pok….

Wrap your arms around me, rubbing my forearms with your ample breasts.

Zion continued whispering.

“I only heard about the situation in our forest two days ago…. I never thought that you would already know the truth and even research a solution…”

“The basis of strategy is information gathering. No matter how much I think, if I don’t have enough information, I can’t do anything. While researching information about the surrounding area, I happened to learn about the current situation of the Yggdra Forest. If the World Tree really withers, this is an urgent situation where the entire country could be in danger, so I researched solutions as a top priority. ”

“Yeah………”

After whispering in a small voice.

Zion kissed my cheek.

— Note….

“……….”

“But… I’ll say it anyway. Thank you so much for trying so hard for me.”

“……Don’t mention it.”

Leaving those words behind.

Zion slowly moved his feet and disappeared into the darkness of the alley.

That same night.

After returning to the Enoch Inn and spending some time reading a book, I was about to go to bed.

— Jiying….

The servant horse that had been placed around the warrior party’s lodgings in preparation for an emergency detected something.

Surveillance Target– Audio of conversation between Julia and Hyunwoo.

After I had a telepathic connection with my servant horse, I switched my sight and hearing.

— Kkudangtang….!!

Immediately after that.

What came into view was Hyunwoo roughly opening the door and entering the room.

His face was flushed red, as if he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and he did not look like a normal person at all.

“Why on earth are you doing this, warrior? I told you to talk about it tomorrow morning after you sobered up.”

“…………”

Julia, who was about to go to bed, was wearing only a thin one-piece dress.

I looked at her with gloomy eyes…

Hyunwoo ran towards Julia and hugged her.

And then he tried to kiss her on the lips.

“Ugh….!!? Ugh…. Ugh…..!!”

Julia desperately tries to reject Hyunwoo’s lips by twisting her head.

— Thump….!!

Meanwhile, Hyunwoo roughly pushed Julia…

Unable to resist his overwhelming strength and physique, she collapsed on the bed.

“Ugh….!!”

“Gasp, gasp…. gasp….. hoooo….. gasp…..”

With both arms pressed down roughly.

Hyunwoo looked into Julia’s eyes and opened his lips.

“Julia……”

“……Yes.”

“Me, me….have sex…..”

“………..!!”

Huh….

Is that idiot giving up on his happy ending route with Julia?

“Please…. I beg you. Right now, I need…. a place to lean on in this world…. someone I can rely on……”

“……….”

“Of course… only you… only you, I believe that you will always love me. I believe that… but even so… it can’t go on like this. To erase this anxiety, I want to be sure that you are mine….. please…..”

While Hyunwoo’s miserable confession continues.

Julia chewed her lower lip with an extremely complicated expression.

Did he take that silence as permission?

Hyunwoo tried to place his right hand on her chest.

— Ugh….. Chin.

After grabbing Hyunwoo’s wrist like that.

Julia shook her head slowly.

“Hero.”

“Huh…. Huh?”

“If it were me a month ago…. I would have accepted you without hesitation.”

“What? What, that was….. a month ago….? What’s different now…..”

“Right now, I have no confidence that you are the one who will save this world.”

And– there will be no confirmation that he is the one who will save the kingdom of Rekaia and usurp the throne from his crippled brothers.

Without revealing her true feelings, Julia pushed Hyunwoo away and tried to get up from her seat.

“I’m sorry, warrior. I won’t deny that I loved you and hoped for a future with you. But…. Over the past few months, how much you’ve betrayed my trust and shown me your disappointing behavior…. Think about it for yourself.”

“………..”

“I promise. If you restore my original form, which was full of nobility and determination… I will offer my chastity to you without hesitation. In the name of the royal family and the divine name of the goddess.”

“The worst…. that…. ugh …

“Warrior…?”

“Gaaah….!!”

The next moment.

Hyunwoo grabbed Julia’s one-piece dress with his rough hands.

The thin piece of cloth was easily torn apart by the warrior’s brute force, and Julia had no choice but to cower, exposing half her body.

“Promise? A promise…? Now, where did you come from to say such a thing…! With your mouth, with your body, you’ve bewitched me, tempted me, and made me happy managing the fishing grounds, and now you’re telling me what to do? How long have I endured it all this time…..”

— Creak….!!

The next moment.

Julia’s knee hit Hyunwoo’s buttocks.

A level 50 swordsman’s knee kick with specs rivaling those of a warrior.

Hyunwoo took a step back, letting out a gasp of breath…

Julia quickly got up from her seat and pushed him back with a series of spectacular attacks.

3 consecutive jabs.

Elbow strike.

Low kick.

Jump straight up and kick backwards.

— Thud, thud… Creak….!! Thump…..!!

“Ultimate….. Kkwa, ah, aah…. Th, stop….. I won’t do it… I was wrong… Please, please…. forgive me….”

To begin with, he is a master whose skills and experience cannot even be compared to Hyunwoo’s.

For Hyunwoo, who can’t even control his body properly because he’s drunk, this is an opponent he can’t handle.

Hyunwoo apologized with a mean expression, and Julia sighed and put her fist away.

“Hero.”

“Ouch, gasp…. Kkeuuuugh….. Whoa, haa… Eek…”

“Let me say it again. My love for you has not changed. But….. Please understand. Because I trust you….. Because I want you to become your strong original self again….. I cannot accept you as you are now.”

— Beatle, beatle….

Without any response to Julia’s story.

Hyunwoo crawled on the floor and disappeared into his room.
