“Hey, the Seal of the Warrior! Then…”

Elsudus put down the other things he was holding and quickly opened the letter. He opened the letter in an instant and read the contents with his eyes. The speed was so fast that Elderis, who handed it over, stared blankly at his brother for a moment.

However, Belzef, who was secretly calm yet curious, cautiously approached Elsudus and glanced at the letter.

“No, this, dog…shit…aww!”

“Oh my!”

“Oh, kid. Surprise!”

And then it exploded.

Blood rushed to Elsa’s face and she immediately let out a scream. She crumpled up the letter she was holding and threw it at the sky to vent her anger.

Thanks to that, Belzef, who was right next to him, flinched and stepped aside, and Elderis also took a step back due to his brother’s inexplicable anger.

“, why are you suddenly like that? Hyung!”

“This fucking… oh… this guy is our country’s warrior… damn… shit…!”

If it had been the Southern Kingdom, Elsadus’s appearance of spitting out curses without any hesitation would have drawn contemptuous looks from those around him.

The problem is that the two still don’t know the reason for Elsaders’ anger. However, since it was a letter from a warrior, it was clear that it contained something that would make the warrior angry.

◦ ◦ Children … I left the farewell.

“What?”

“Wait…he left? The warrior?”

Elderis couldn’t help but be startled. Gritting his teeth, Elthus now stomped his feet on the floor as he abruptly thrust the letter at his brother.

Elderis accepted it. He carefully read the warrior’s letter, which was crumpled but still had good handwriting.

“Brothers Schweizer… Schweizer? You didn’t remember our saint… I’ve thought about your proposal and I know its importance, but… mumble mumble… I originally wanted to greet you in person, but… mumble mumble… I’ll be crossing the border by the time you see this letter… mumble mumble… If the Saintess visits the Northern Kingdom and asks for me, please send my regards… What is this… ”

Elderis instantly shared his brother’s anger. No, his hands even trembled.

Is this the result of the brother’s consideration? Since he was a warrior, the only warrior on this continent and the one who saved the continent, he spared no kindness and consideration, but in the end, did the brother suffer because of the result of disappearing so arbitrarily?

If they hadn’t been high-level adventurers, if they hadn’t been learning to be magicians, if they hadn’t had even a little bit of concern for the safety of the continent, and… if they hadn’t even a little bit of respect for the hero, the two wouldn’t have cared at all about whether the hero existed or not. However, the reality was the exact opposite, and the two couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of disappointment.

“Damn… If the guild master knew, he’d be all smiles. Having to report such a shitty result…Shit…”

“Oh, that’s right. If the guild master knew…he’d really like it.”

It was a half-sarcastic, half-predictive statement from two people. The guild master had been keeping an eye on the warrior, but he had wanted to exclude the warrior from this plan. That was why he had sent a letter to the two of them. Ask for help from the warrior, but not to take the path of disappointment by clinging too much.

Even though I asked for help several times, thinking that it was impossible, the warrior really threw away his responsibility and ran away. He even blatantly avoided meeting the two of them, saying that they were ‘male characters’ and such, and it came to this point. What can I do if the other side refuses even if I want to approach them? On top of that, he was playing around with girls without any problems, so it was no wonder that Elsudas, the older brother of Elderis, eventually exploded.

“Hmm, I see… So in the end, a warrior… acts true to his instincts? ”

“Huh, Brother Belzeph?”

In the meantime, after stealing the letter that Elderis was holding on to, Belzef rolled his eyes and looked at the contents, muttering something in a rather calm voice. Unlike Elsudus, who was swearing and swearing, Elderis, who had some sanity left, reacted.

“The hero’s impulsive actions… The Northern Kingdom’s top secret activities… Is it all as the Guild Master had predicted… The Northern Kingdom has acquired all sorts of information by flirting with the hero… And even the ‘plan’ that is being carried out in top secret… Then what is the next dangerous thing… Hmm… ”

“Excuse me, Brother Belzeph? Don’t just mumble to yourself, tell us something…”

“Can I just say that it’s a shame that the warrior is gone?”

“I think he said a lot more after that?”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just speculation without evidence.”

Belzef tried to smile and sort out the situation. However, Elsudus, who had come up with a fierce temper, seemed unwilling to let it go.

“We will decide whether it is nonsense or not, so tell us quickly. Tell us the brilliant reasoning that came to your mind after reading this letter!”

“This…”

Belzef sighed, as if he was sorry. Judging from his tone, it seemed like a thug was threatening a good person, but Elsadus was hiding a certain desperation behind his anger.

Having borrowed Belzef’s wisdom for many years to find good results, it may be because I feel with my whole body the value of each and every word of Belzef in the current situation.

If only he could express it a little more honestly, it would be perfect. Elsadus couldn’t even look at Elderis, who was looking at his brother’s crookedness with pity. He didn’t have time for that.

And then, it rained down.

“The hero’s impulsive behavior wasn’t something that happened in a day or two. In addition, the Northern Kingdom’s strategy of not sparing any offensive tactics that a hero would like was also within the range of predictability. In addition, the reason why the guild master didn’t pay much attention to the hero seems to hint that something is hidden. However, since the hidden content was originally hidden very well…it’s not easy to deduce. So…”

“So?”

Belzef sat back down in his chair. As a habit, he put his hands together to cover his nose and lips. It was a habit that he never missed whenever he was deep in thought. At that moment, the Schwenheiser brothers held their breath. Whenever this habit came up, Belzef…

‘I spouted out the idea that nonsense and novelty coexist.’

Elsudus had once expressed it as if he was arguing. At first glance, Belzef’s opinions and suggestions seemed as meaningless as the scolding of a madman, but when you delve into their meaning, they contained extremely ingenious and excellent ideas.

“So… I want to tell you that if you believe I will come up with a sharp measure right now, you are wrong. In this situation, there is no sharp means. Of course. In such a suspicious and unpredictable situation, how can you come up with a plan that fits reality? More importantly, we need to prepare for the future under the assumption that the warrior will be completely absent. Yes, the saintess will visit the Northern Kingdom soon. We need to think about how to deal with her visit from now on.”

“What should I do about the visit of the saint?”

“What are you talking about, Emma? As if the visit of the saintess…is some kind of trouble…”

When Elsudus used his usual expression of sarcasm, Belzef smiled subtly. It was an expression that seemed to be a mixture of joy and a little worry.

“Troublemaker… That’s not a bad expression. Because from now on… we have to… take care of that troublemaker over there, without the Northern Kingdom finding out. I repeat… the Holy Lady is officially visiting, without the Northern Kingdom people knowing. ”

“Ah…”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Yes. Strangely enough, the Guildmaster and the Southern Kingdom wanted to resolve this situation without letting the Northern Kingdom know, just as the warriors did. If they hadn’t been concerned about this, they would have sent an official ambassador in the past, or contacted the Northern and Southern Kingdoms through ‘that magic circle’ and requested support.

However, knowing full well the ambitions of the Northern Kingdom, and having witnessed with their own eyes the various ways they would go about capturing the warriors for their own benefit, the Schwenheiser brothers and Belzef realized belatedly that they had a new worry.

No, at least the Schwenheiser brothers definitely realized it too late. In the case of Berzef, it seems that his logic developed as soon as he learned that the warrior had escaped.

“So, let’s all use our wits. After the saintess and her party arrive, how can we bring the saintess to the northern coast of the Northern Kingdom without being detected? Now, I’m not an expert in teleportation magic…Elsadus, what do you think? As a master of teleportation magic, can you come up with a way for the saintess to get here without being detected?”

“Who is the master, Inma? Is the master stuck in college studying with his head down?”

“So, is there anyone…a better expert than you?”

It was a pretty lame excuse, but Elsa only grumbled a little.

“Damn, you’re good at talking. Well…my opinion is…”

So, the three of them started talking again. They started a heated discussion. It was to prepare for the near future, the future that was sure to come.

However, the three people, and even the group of saints who would soon set foot in the Northern Kingdom, did not know about it.

Variables don’t end with just one.

And the reality is that the future doesn’t come as easily as some people imagine.

Somewhere in the Western Mountains.

Once again, deep in the mountains, in a place where humans or similar species would not likely set foot, in a huge cave near a valley, an incongruous being was sitting.

Yes. The reason it didn’t fit was obvious. It was because the being was human, and a woman at that. And what’s more, it was doing something that a normal human woman in the kingdom would never imagine: sitting on the bare floor with her eyes tightly shut, wearing only a piece of cloth.

However, no one could tease or point out anything to that female figure. First of all, there was no human figure nearby who could do something that required the presence of such a rational being. Furthermore, because of the enormous speculation and murderousness that this female figure exuded, all the nearby creatures fled away in panic.

Yes, with her eyes tightly shut, the woman was spewing out rage. Once again, it was not an atmosphere that a human would exude. Even a demon would be unable to exude a murderous aura that would distort the sky and cause creatures to flee.

The unidentified woman, who had been maintaining such a scary atmosphere, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

And, I stared out of the cave. Emotions were frozen. Primarily, it was anger. Mixed in with it were jealousy, regret, and finally sadness. Negative emotions were mixed in various ways and were running wild, complete with anger.

“Why…”

Finally, slowly, he opened his mouth.

There was no one to hear. However, the expression on her face was so terrifyingly angry, and yet the woman, who had an inhumanly beautiful appearance, seemed unable to let out a sound without speaking.

“Why…you…hero…why…you came to see me…”

With a thud, the woman’s beautiful left hand, clenched into a fist, fell to the floor. It was such a beautiful hand that if you were to drop it on the floor, you could get hurt. If someone who knew her identity had seen it, it would have been her first priority to worry about the ground.

“What the heck, that girl with the beast ears…”

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!

With each word she spoke, the woman repeated the act of striking the floor with her fist. It seemed as if even expressing her anger with her lips was not enough, and she had no choice but to swing her fist.

“Why…are…you…wearing…it…out…of…me!”

Boom, boom, boom!

However, the final blow was imbued with a different power. As soon as it hit the ground, it had an immediate effect.

The ground shook. And it was quite a vibration.

Once again, animals moved about in a large forest near the cave. They sensed the woman’s ominous, this time truly terrifying, aura and their survival instincts kicked in.

The woman had a special power. It was the power to sense and observe those who possessed a part of their own body, a tiny body part as small as the tip of a fingernail. It was a difficult condition that required deep concentration and no one to disturb it, but it was certainly an excellent ability that suited the woman’s residence and lifestyle.

And then, the woman saw that the person who had promised to come see her was coming towards her with another woman right next to him.

He was furious at the fact that he had promised to come and meet the special person that was him, but then came with a worthless girl (at least in his opinion) by his side.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo… Hero… If… If you… Get here just like that… ”

I barely managed to gather my energy by taking deep breaths, but the woman’s eyes were still burning brightly.

It was a look in his eyes that seemed like he would eat anyone who appeared in front of him right away. In a very bad way, for sure.

“If you have the guts to bring another woman in front of me…then…go ahead…try it!”

Again, with a thud, the woman’s left hand struck the floor.

Clear murderous intent. It was clear that it was directed at someone, but it was difficult to tell exactly who it was directed at.

However, one thing was certain.

Now, without even knowing the topic, I have a beast-eared girl next to me

For the warriors who walk happily through the western mountains,

There is only a future without any flower path as he imagines.
