From that day on, the two were living completely happy days.

As if we were newlyweds, there wasn’t a single day that went by that we didn’t wake up.

To the point where such actions became known to the public.

However, the two of them poured out their stories every day as if they didn’t care about such rumors at all. Everyone who watched this scene complained of pain.

It was because I felt so lonely after watching the love between a handsome man and a beautiful woman unfold before my eyes.

The two, who spent each day filled with happiness, became closer and closer, and now it was time to get used to even skinship.

It was time for the two, who had promised each other a future by giving each other rings, to tie the knot like never before.

News of the warrior’s party’s sudden defeat was heard.

In order to understand the situation, he went to the emperor who was the first to hear the news.

The emperor let out a laugh as he looked at the two who suddenly came.

“I didn’t know you two would come to visit me like this. I guess that’s why I came here.”

“What happened? It’s a defeat.”

Defeat is quite possible.

However, in the prophecy that Kariel read, most of them achieved victory, at least not when dealing with the Great Demon.

But now that all the anti-demons have been taken care of.

The only person they can actually lose to is the Demon Lord…

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

It is after they reach the level of Sword Master that they meet the Demon King.

It was then that the Demon King also moved.

‘Even if there was some strange event and the Demon King moved.’

I can’t comfortably hear news of defeat like this.

Because the Demon King is a being that causes damage to the entire dimension just by appearing.

The earth is overturned, natural disasters occur, and demons and monsters frequently attack the entire dimension.

That is the situation when the devil appears.

However, that situation did not happen now, and peaceful daily life continued day after day, when suddenly news of the warrior party’s defeat was heard.

But Kariel felt worse about the situation.

Because it means that the battle was lost to some entity that was not the Demon Lord.

The emperor also frowned, as if he was feeling annoyed by this, and then sighed.

“I also don’t know much about the news since I heard it suddenly. Wouldn’t it be better to meet them in person?”

“Do you mean them?”

The only way to be sure of the current situation is to meet them in person.

Because there is nothing more certain than meeting the person involved.

But Kariel was a little reluctant.

‘It means that everyone’s personality is unique.’

This is because we know their personalities well as seen through prophetic books.

Even if the hero was okay, the personalities of the others other than her were at least not normal.

Especially considering how cruel they are to evil people.

Kariel’s spine suddenly went cold.

‘No matter how much it turns out to be a misunderstanding.’

For some reason, I was reluctant because I felt like their personalities would be hostile.

The emperor must have noticed this and laughed.

“I have met them face to face. Quite the warrior, I have great respect for you.”

“Respect?”

A question appeared on Kariel’s face at the completely unexpected words.

Even though I understood that it wasn’t a bad thing, I never imagined that I would have respect for it.

Why do they have respect for themselves?

Kariel thought about it, but couldn’t figure out anything at all.

“Wouldn’t it be better to listen directly rather than have me tell you?”

“Yes, what.”

Since the emperor was not a person who would tell lies, I believed him and decided to meet him once.

Kariel asked Llewen next to her.

“What do you want to do?”

“I will continue to stick with Kariel.”

In short, it meant that we would go together.

Kariel nodded to the now familiar way of speaking and spoke to the emperor.

“Do you know where they are?”

“It will be on the front line that you have been blocking for a long time. The exact location was also the place where you were active.”

“Yes?”

Kariel couldn’t help but be surprised as soon as she heard it.

That’s because the front line where he worked was so rough that it could be called hell.

We have to stop demons and monsters from attacking us all the time, day after day.

Resting did not feel like resting, and it was almost impossible to even have a moment of rest, let alone sleep.

Even for a warrior party, going there and living there was close to hell.

Kariel was only able to do this because she had ten paladins.

On the other hand, the number of warrior parties is 5.

It could be seen as a quite dangerous challenge.

“Isn’t that what you said? They respect you, the warrior.”

“What does that have to do with it?”

Respect and working on the front lines you were on.

What on earth does that have to do with it?

Kariel couldn’t understand at first.

“You will find out the exact thing when you meet them. Let’s go quickly.”

At the emperor’s urging, Kariel awkwardly nodded and went out.

Lewen, who was next to him, was smiling mischievously.

“Cariel, are you actually embarrassed?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“That’s right, Kariel, you’re insensitive and weak in these areas. He always puts himself down, saying he’s not a great person, and when someone actually respects him, he desperately denies it. Is it exactly like that now?”

Kariel, struck by Lewen’s words, flinched.

Lewen shakes her head as if she knew that would happen.

“Why don’t you be a little more honest now? Honestly, you know a little bit, right? To what extent is it located? Especially after people found out about the path Kariel had taken, we received a ton of letters. I love you, Kariel~ Something like that.”

From the sharpness in the last sentence, Kariel realized that Llewen was displeased with something.

“It seems like there is a thorn in your words.”

“Not at all~?

For someone who said no, the words were full of bone.

Apparently, the Pope had once brought letters of support to him, and when he saw the words written there, he seemed to be very upset.

“You said that because of the words written in the letter.”

“No.”:

“I don’t think it’s true.”

“I don’t care at all what kind of letter Kariel receives. Why should I care whether I get a letter from Kariel saying she loves me or not?”

The voice is full of pouting.

Questions like what to do about this no longer exist in Kariel’s mind.

This is because I have already been through a lot so I know what to do.

Kariel hugged Lewen from behind.

Her beautiful hair tickled my face.

“Don’t you know that I only have Llewen?”

“I have no idea. If you know something, you might know it.”

Kariel lightly kissed Llewen’s cheek.

Only then did Llewen smile as if she was satisfied.

“Now let’s go!”

Kariel smiled with a childlike, innocent smile and stood next to her.

He gently took her hand and said:

“Then let’s go.”

***

The front line where Kariel was located was quite far from the church.

Because of this, we had to travel by carriage for several days.

Having to move around in a carriage for several days can be quite an ordeal.

Thanks to the church’s preparation of a top-class carriage with all kinds of convenient magic, Kariel and Llewen were able to spend a fairly comfortable time.

In particular, the person assigned as the coachman was a paladin who could be called a superman, so there was no problem with going.

Even as they went, Kariel and Llewen’s salting did not stop.

He always stayed close to me and gave me skinship.

The situation was so severe that Antel, who was known to be blunt even among paladins, asked him to be more restrained.

But as time went on, the salting between the two became more severe.

On the fifth day, they were able to reach the front line.

Seeing the front line coming for the first time in quite a while brought back old memories to Kariel.

More than 90% of them fought like crazy and couldn’t even live a decent life.

In fact, it was a time when I could have become closer to the paladins.

“Isn’t that so, Antel.”

Kariel asks Antel as if asking for consent.

Antel nodded at him.

“I agree to some extent.”

“To what extent?”

“Because there were so many things that were so difficult to agree on everything. If someone asks me to do it again, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do it.”

Antel, who is usually blunt, speaks as if he is sick of it.

Kariel understood Antel’s reaction.

‘It was that difficult.’

How difficult it was.

Even thinking about it now makes me shiver.

When I think about it now, I wonder what on earth I did back then, and whenever Kariel remembered that memory, I wanted to erase it from my mind.

“Still, I can feel that it has definitely decreased.”

He spent most of his time here for 10 years, slaughtering demons and monsters.

I didn’t really notice it much when it was completely removed, but when I came back after a long time, I felt that Kariel had shrunk considerably.

“Let’s go first.”

The place where they had been active in the past was quite close to this place, so they walked straight ahead.
