The Warrior Is Disappointed in You 244

Chapter 244 – The Warrior Made a Pact With Baal

“Why are you here… ?”

I looked at Baal with a puzzled expression.
It was because he had not expected that he would appear in person at Honey Mary’s coronation ceremony.

“… No answer. Well, it won’t matter.”

Baal smiled at me and said so.
Perhaps what he said seemed to point out that I had regressed.
As soon as I showed my vigilance, my party in Daejeon immediately moved.
Camara was ready to jump out at any time, Lucille and Genoa were also touching the handle of the sword, and the saintess, Isabella, and Karen were also busy glaring at Baal.
What was strange was that even though they could attack at any time, Baal was calm.

‘Why the hell did he appear?’

I narrowed my eyes as I glanced at Baal looking at my companions.
It is true that he possessed great power, but he was not invincible.
If he was invincible in the first place, it would have been impossible for me to kill him in my previous life.
If Baal was n’t an idiot, he would have known that too, which made it all the more difficult for me to understand his actions.

“Is it okay to do it here?”
“What?”
“If you want a fight, I won’t refuse.”

Baal, seeing my comrades, grinned and said that to me.
Now, if we were to fight Baal right here, killing him would not be a problem.
Unlike my previous life, I had colleagues to help me, and I became much stronger than I was then.
The problem was, though, that Baal was Baal, so he couldn’t be easily killed.
Those with some level of force might survive, but not the rest.
It had nothing to do with me, the incompetent nobles of the empire, but it wasn’t Mary or Hazel.
No matter how much they protected them, it was difficult to guarantee victory without damage if they were an opponent of Baal’s level.

“What’s your business?”

I forced myself to catch my breath and asked Baal.
It was judged that there would be no benefit to fighting right now, and Baal smiled with satisfaction at my question.

“Well? Can’t an uninvited guest even celebrate?”
“Stop the bullshit.”

I spat out disgust at Baal’s words his.
After all, he and I weren’t joking around.
At my swear words, Baal lightly shrugged his shoulders and let out his signature, grumpy laugh his.

“One week.”
“What?”
“A week later, come out of the desert and have a decisive battle, hero.”

I opened my mouth at Baal’s words and looked at him.
It hadn’t happened in my previous life, and I couldn’t figure out why Baal was suddenly talking to me like that.
Perhaps reading my expression His, Baal opened his mouth again.

“I am just curious. Why did I lose to you?”

People in Daejeon seemed to regard Baal’s words as erratic, but I was different.
Maybe what he’s talking about isn’t life now, but things before that.

“Great. I will tell you properly.”

I nodded my head at Baal’s words and answered that.
From my point of view, there was nothing wrong with Baal’s proposal.
It would be much more comfortable in the desert than fighting him in a place where there were people like the Empire’s ecliptic.
Perhaps Baal chose the desert as the place because he knew that I would not refuse his offer.

“Of course, you must be alone in coming.”

I nodded my head at Baal’s words.
In any case, in my previous life, it was almost as if I had grabbed hold of Baal on my own, and it was clear that it would be much easier now than then.
Actually, I was full of confidence, but the problem was my companions.

“Hero!”
“Alone, that’s ridiculous!”

Immediately, Mary and Marian objected.
For them, they would think that it would be a much better way to capture Baal using an advantageous position than to deal with Baal alone.

“If you refuse, I will go around the continent from now on and kill everyone in sight.”
“Oh no, shameful!”

Isabella yelled out, but well.
I didn’t find Baal’s words petty in the least.
After all, the Demon Lord’s army was such a group, and Baal was the one who actually led the Demon Lord’s army.

“There may be traps.”

Genoa said that to me, but Baal was still looking at me with a calm expression.
Anyway, he looked at me as if I knew better than anyone else that he wouldn’t dig a trap.

“Great. See you in a week.”
“Hero!”

My party showed anxious expressions at my confirmation, but I had no intention of reversing that decision.
I don’t know what he was thinking of asking me to fight, but it was a much easier way to catch him at this opportunity than to prolong the war like this.

“Good.”
“When you get what you want, go away. Don’t spoil other people’s feasts.”

I shouted at Baal, who smiled with a satisfied face.
In any case, the main character of this place was Mary, not me, and she had n’t even finished her coronation ceremony.

**

It was said that Baal had returned, but there was no way the coronation ceremony would go smoothly.
Right now, my party was showing dissatisfaction with my decision, and the nobles in Daejeon were also in a state of uneasiness.
At first, the nobles thought lightly of the appearance of the Demon King’s Army, but after being defeated by Astaroth, that perception completely changed.
Mary, who had just finished her coronation ceremony, immediately called only her important people her into her room her.
The imperial nobles complained about whether it made sense to exclude them from such an important issue, but I put their complaints to rest in a word.

“I am not a noble of the empire, and I am not in a position to allow you to live my life.”

If the previous emperor, other than Mary, had been alive, he might have been dissatisfied with me right away.
However, most of the nobles had been swept away by Astaroth, and when even Mary responded in agreement with my opinion, they just kept their mouths shut like a docile sheep.

“You’re not really going to deal with it alone, are you?”

She had ruined the coronation ceremony, but Mary asked me about it with a face that didn’t care about her at all.
Not only her, but also her companions are waiting for my answer.

“I think so.”
“Nonsense! Why are you dealing with him alone? There are reliable colleagues by the hero’s side, and I can help somehow.”
“In that case, Baal will attract the demon lord’s army. Perhaps, as he said, he may go around the continent and start attacking the weaker kingdoms.”

I replied to Merry, and at my words of her, I could see the expressions of Isabella, Lightsaber, and those who were not from the Empire, such as Ena and James, darken.

“If they come in, shouldn’t we just fight then?”
“The problem is that we cannot predict where and how Baal will aim.”

Camara expressed her opinion of her with a look that said what was so difficult, but I immediately countered her words of her.
Then silence came again.
Because everyone here knew that the best course of action for me was to face Baal and capture him.
However, the reason why they couldn’t agree with my opinion was probably because they were worried that I might lose.

‘I don’t feel bad.’

I was quite happy with their feelings and shed a laugh.
It is inevitable that each person thinks differently, but anyway, I could definitely feel that all of them were worried about me with one heart.

“Hero, move!”

That moment when everyone was piled up in a strange silence.
It was none other than Marian who broke the silence and uttered an absurd sound.

“Also.”

However, I nodded her head with an expression that I understood what Marian said and called for joy.
It was because he had already made a secret request to Marian in the previous war.
While I was fighting the demon king, I thought maybe Aaron would move.
Of course, I was the only one who left to deal with the demon king, and as long as Camara remained in the empire, I couldn’t reverse the situation Aaron was doing.
However, I didn’t want to leave a bad feeling, so I had asked Marianne to attach her soul her to Nebula.
Although she was a mercenary empress with a good sense and a lot of caution, she was sure that she would never notice Marianne’s tracking skills of her.
And since Baal had appeared in person, it was clear that she wanted to deliver the news to Aaron.

“Focus, Marian. Aaron will be where she arrives.”

At my words, Marianne nodded her head, and the princess, no, now the emperor, Mary’s room began to be shocked again for another reason.
