Chapter 24 – Episode 24. Warrior’s Party Wizard (2)
It wasn’t that I didn’t like men at all.
What I dislike is people who do not differentiate between men and women.
It was just that the men naturally kept their distance because they bothered her more.
‘Anyway, this lump of fat has never been helpful in my life.’
It is like a cancerous lump in the chest that grows steadily since childhood and continues to increase in size even after becoming an adult, making one’s shoulders heavy.
Because of that weight, his posture naturally lowered, and he was always nagged by the old masters of the Mage Tower because he didn’t look good in that way.
‘And those old guys glanced at me too. I don’t even stand on my back, but I put my things properly.’
Even that disappeared cleanly after he obtained the title of Archmage, but as often as that happened, the disposition of human hatred that was inherent in him was wedged to the point where it could not be recovered.
Of course, the fact that the newcomer to the party was a man was bound to give Ymir a bad first impression.
‘It’s the same for women, too.’
Tsk, Ymir clicked his tongue and turned his gaze to the woman standing at a distance beside the man.
A young-looking woman with short silver hair. She gave the impression of being stooped and haggard, and unlike herself, she still had the tinge of being a girl.
She will grow up someday, but it is hard to believe that she is still a warrior who will lead mankind.
But what bothered her even more than her appearance was her eyes staring straight into her own breasts.
‘He’s like that again.’
She should consider it fortunate that she didn’t exclaim like ‘wow’ like when we first met, but for some reason, her eyes are very bloody.
If something like light shot from her eyes, that heat alone would have melted my heart. To the extent that I think.
“It’s dangerous, no matter how you think about it, that’s dangerous. I might lose it if I don’t…”
A look of serious muttering, resting up to his chin. She seemed to be troubled in many ways by looking at her own breasts.
‘It would be nice if it didn’t cause any inconvenience.’
Yes, that was the only evaluation of Ymir’s treatment of people.
Does she disturb herself?
In that sense, Verdia, who drew herself in by using her public powers, is a little girl who would not be happy even if she killed a thousand times, but no sermons or magic would work on a fool with her brain full of muscles, so she just kept quiet.
Please, I hope that nothing more troublesome than this will happen.
“You’re the Black Crystal Ymir you’ve only heard about.”
As planned, Ymir is a porter and chores manager newly recruited to the party.
There was quite a bit of admiration in his voice directed towards himself, but it was only good now that such an evaluation had been heard so much that it sat in his ears.
Even though such rumors are colorless, it is obvious that I will see his chest first anyway.
“Yes, I am Ymir, the youngest wizard of the Mage Tower. That one was brought by the little hero over there… Hmm?”
However, when he actually faced him, what Ymir felt was unexpected.
Dave, the blond, tanned man who didn’t understand the meaning, tilted his head in question.
“Why is that?”
“… No, nothing.”
Ymir raises the glasses that cover his wide eyes. Afterwards, she took Dave’s outstretched hand roughly and accepted her greeting.
“Anyway, you said you were a chore who joined the party this time, right?”
“Ah yes. Call me Dave. I look forward to seeing you in the future, Mr. Ymir!”
“Okay, nice to meet you too, Mr. Chores. Let’s stop bothering each other from now on and let’s stay together.”
Ymir answered in a troublesome tone and indifferently let go of his hand.
Afterwards, as he turned his gaze to her and rested her chin, Verdia, disapproving of her attitude, began to frown at her.
“Ymir, didn’t I ask you to be friendly with Dave?”
“Don’t expect any more favors from me. Because this is what I tried.”
These are not empty words. In fact, just accepting the greeting was very patronizing from Ymir’s point of view.
‘That man… Did I say Dave?’
Yeah, Ymir, she said, this time she couldn’t help but get a unique impression from the new guy at the party.
The humans I’ve met so far always looked at the chest first when facing themselves.
There is no distinction between men and women, children and the elderly.
‘But that guy looked straight into my eyes.’
Asking for a handshake on the first face-to-face face-to-face face-to-face, not heart-to-heart.
No matter how indifferent Ymir is to people, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
‘What? Is it the deceased?’
It was a situation in which Ymir had no choice but to be regarded as such.
***
Ha, fuck.
What on earth did that bitch eat to grow up to have such a big sucker? Is there a mix of Minotaur genes among your ancestors?
It’s a shame that Celica took a few shots before coming here. If it was wrong, from the first meeting with her, I would have been unable to greet her properly, focusing only on her chest.
You’ll have to be careful in the future. It would be hard to be in this party if you bought a guard from the beginning.
“Dave, have you been getting along with Serikawa?”
“Yes, thanks to the funds Mr. Verdia gave me, I was able to spend a good holiday. I couldn’t buy the equipment because I ran out of money, but…”
“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry about it. Closing the distance between the two of you is also helpful for the party, so just think of it as a necessary investment.”
Anyway, would it be possible for the 10 strongest people on the continent to save money to raise warriors?
“But it’s good to see that the distance between the two of them has narrowed, but unfortunately, the situation is not going well, so it seems that the two of them will have to stay apart for a while.”
“Yes? Stay away…”
Celica’s complexion turned pale at Verdia’s solemn words.
“No way, to expel Dave from the party… ?”
“It’s not like that, so don’t worry. Rather, it can be said that just being compatible with you, Celica, is enough reason to have him in the party.”
That’s fortunate.
As it often happens that those who are kicked out of the party do everything to get revenge and ruin the people around them, those who are kicked out of the party don’t have a very good perception.
Of course, I don’t have much lingering feelings for being an adventurer, but I should refrain from such misfortune happening in the yard where I have to infiltrate to kill that damn bitch.
“It’s just that although they somehow succeeded in bringing Ymir, it seems like it will take quite a while to pick up one of the remaining party members.”
“Ah, did you say there was one more party member?”
“Yes, they are a different race living in the Great Forest.”
The Great Forest is where the elves live. And the basic rule of the warrior party representing mankind is to hire one person from different races.
It is also to increase the friendship between the different races that are hostile to the Demon King’s Army, but especially in the case of longevity species, they have experience competing with the Demon King’s Army for several centuries, so their advice is bound to help them get through the front.
“The problem is that there is a problem with the Great Forest. Since none other than an executive of the Demon King’s Army has camped nearby, they have requested help from our human kingdom to protect the area.”
“An officer of the Demon King’s Army… ?”
Does that mean the executive is staying in the elves’ territory?
Unfortunately, it’s been a while since I haven’t returned to the main base, so I don’t know how things are going.
“Who is the executive?”
Even if he is at the lower end, he is still a member of the Demon King’s army.
When I asked about that part with interest, Verdia immediately answered my words without thinking about it.
“The King of Orcs. Do you know?”
“Ah yes. That… Barmash, right?”
“I know you well. I felt it from the first time we met, Dave, but you have a knowledgeable side about the world.”
“No, it’s easy to cross over and listen to executives because they’re famous.”
Having made a lighthearted excuse, I briefly summarized the current situation in my mind.
In short, Barmash, an officer in the demon king’s army, camped in the territory of the elves, and while the elves who were wary of it continued to stand in a state of confrontation, the elves who were selected as the warrior party were also joining the defense line because they could not abandon their own people.
It certainly won’t be easy to come back.
It is said that the great forest is very large and the self-purification function is active, but Orcs are basically a race that boasts absurd fertility that can conceive life regardless of species.
Because their brains are stupid, they only stick together as a tribal unit.
However, if there was Barmash, the king of Orcs, thousands of Orcs would follow his instructions and would be able to unleash firepower that would devastate the Great Forest.
“…Is it dangerous?”
Celica asked cautiously as if she had grasped the general situation.
However, despite the fact that someone who became an executive was mentioned, the atmosphere in Verdia as they continued their conversation was extremely calm.
“No, the other side is also aiming for something, so the sabotage isn’t going that far. As much as the Elves and the Kingdom Army want to avoid direct friction to reduce damage, until they know what they’re aiming for, they’re just trying to maintain their policy to the point of getting rid of the small pikes that have strayed from the group.”
Anyway, even if the fertility is high, if the number increases, there will be a lot of people who are left out of the group.
And okra is an existence that corresponds to a level that is not very high among the dangerous groups that are harmful to mankind.
In other words, it is a good prey for an attendant who has just taken off his apprenticeship ticket.
“I know roughly. In short, you’re saying that Celica’s place of training will be modified to subdue those small orcs in an artificial dungeon, right?”
“Yes, Celica also thinks that the time has come for her to experience actual combat. Is there any part of the story up to this point that you don’t understand?”
Verdia, who had answered my question, looked back and asked, and Celica nodded her head in her affirmation.
Once the content itself is understood. But there was a bit of dissatisfaction on her face.
“I understood my implementation plan. By the way, why do you have to be separated from Dave for a while while you are practicing? If it’s the same party, wouldn’t it be nice to go together?”
“That’s because I want Dave to stay with Ymir, who will be staying in this city, while I work with you to subdue the orcs.”
“Yes? Dave with Ymir!? Why!?”
Celica vomited in astonishment at Verdia’s words. At that, Verdia looked back at Ymir with a troubled expression.
The sorceress of the social bake shop, chin resting while staring at the distant distraction even in the midst of a conversation.
