Chapter 28 – Dalian (2)
*
Furuku was hungry. It’s because he hasn’t been able to eat properly since he’s been turning all humans into ghouls lately.
“Buhiik… I’m hungry.”
“Furuku. You’re really messing around.”
Nassen shook his head. How did he become a partner with such a guy?
Still, Furuku obeyed the orders given, and the plan was completed smoothly.
Nassen gathered as many ghouls as he could from nearby villages. I want to wipe out a village in my heart, but then it would stand out too much.
Then the blonde hair might notice her coming and prepare for it. So, I went around the metallurgical metallurgical village and collected ghouls bit by bit.
“From now on, failure is really not forgiven. Lying to the superiors is also the limit.”
“Buhiik. I know. But…They are too strong.”
“Furuku. If this fails again, the upper management might send him.”
“He?”
“Don’t you remember the lion’s head?”
Furuku’s complexion turned pale. The lion-headed gnome is dangerous. Furuku thoughtlessly attacked and almost got eaten by him.
He is one of the high-ranking officers of the organization, and was famous for brutally preying on members who had trouble.
Since Furuku and Nasendo were targeting high-level executives in the organization, they couldn’t go against him any more.
“I hate him. It’s scary! I’m running away from seeing him again! Buhiik!”
“There’s no way you can run away. So. You really have to succeed this time. No matter what.”
“The lion’s head is scary! It’s scary! I want to run away!”
“Calm down and listen!”
It was only then that Furuku calmed down as if he had shaken off his fear.
“If this job succeeds, the superiors won’t bother sending the lion’s head. There are thousands of people in the castle. And don’t miss that bitch Victoria. She said it would be a great sacrifice.”
“…I am hungry.
“Yes. So. You really have to do well? Just do what I tell you to do this time and everything will work out.”
“Okay! Furuku is good at what he tells me to do.”
“Whew.”
Nassen sighed. It was because Furuku was drooling while watching the ghoul.
“I’m going to scout inside the castle. When I give a signal, charge the ghouls, okay? Furuku.”
“I get it.”
After that, Nassen started to move to the castle. It was a time when Furuku looked small like a dot. Furuku exclaimed urgently.
“Ghoul! Can I eat just one! Nassen!”
“No way! Don’t eat even one!”
“Buhiik…”
Nassen calmed down and started running towards the castle.

Finally, the highlight of the full-scale event was starting. Guard Captain and Kerry.
The two stood in the middle of the gymnasium.
People’s cheers pour in.
“Wow! Captain of the guard! Good value for your size! I bet my entire fortune on you!”
“Aren’t foreigners too big?”
“Handsome stranger oppa! Fighting!”
In the cheer of the women, the men became rotten expressions. Foolish guys.
The moderator even started watching the referee. It feels like a real match.
“Both players salute each other.”
Even Kerry was aware of salutes. She raised her sword in front of her body and swung it down in salute.
Was this thing going to be this big? When I came to my senses, I was in this state.
It doesn’t matter. I have special training results. Now, even as the captain of the guard, I don’t even feel like I’m going to be so good.
“Seobang. Cheer up! You can do well!”
I hear Natasha’s bright voice. When she turned her head, Lina, Natasha, and the old woman were cheering among the crowd.
At Natasha’s cheering, the eyes of the male audience grow even fiercer. If you’re jealous, you lose. These guys
“Heh. Seeing that women wear them, it’s obvious without looking at their skills.”
The captain of the guard brushed off the dispute. He had been fighting his flag even before he came up to the gymnasium, so it’s nothing new.
“If you look at his handsome face, it’s clear. Being an adventurer is purely for fun.”
As he said that, he proudly touched the scar on his face. He seemed like an idiot for his clumsy form.
‘Is that also a provocation?’
Because of the people’s shouts, the conversation on the gymnasium is not audible. It’s like using it to provoke yourself.
‘Tsk tsk. It’s pathetic.’
Growing up in my home country, where even trivial games ask after my parents, I was almost immune to provocations like that.
“Hey. Why are you flirting with women like this?”
“…”
The guard’s expression starts to get a little grim.
“Ah. Is it because you can’t even hold a woman’s hand? Would a mother be sad if she found out that her son couldn’t even hold a woman’s hand? No. Wasn’t it the first thing you asked if her mother was there before that?”
“What… What? You are this baby. Did you mention my mother just now?”
When the captain of the guard excitedly tried to approach, the moderator stopped him.
The moderator had been talking with Victoria for a while, so he didn’t hear our conversation.
“Calm down. Do it when you start sparring.”
The captain of the guard continued to growl despite the referee’s dissuade. To challenge me with provocation when I have no immunity to paddling. It was a stupid choice.
As soon as we settled down, the residents shouted for us to start. At that time, a whistle rang out in the midst of the shouts.
The sparring has begun.
It was a sparring conducted with wooden swords, but it looked like a pretty scary weapon when he was holding a guard like a captain.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the captain of the guard, probably not liking my asking how my parents were doing, rushed at me.
“You son of a bitch!”
Booung-!
The wooden sword narrowly passes Kerry. Just because it passed narrowly doesn’t mean it was difficult to avoid.
Rather, the direct attack was obvious, so it was easily dodged. The fewer moves you evade, the easier it is to make the next attack.
‘I’m more excited than I thought.’
The captain of the guards seemed to have a bad personality before, but now he’s almost like an angry wild boar.
He only asked how his mother was doing, but it was an effect that surpassed any provocation skill.
Booung-
The wooden sword goes past Kerry again. He said he was the captain of the guard, so I was nervous. What’s this.
He thought it was a heavy cart, but it turned out to be a loud, empty cart.
‘Compared to Lina… She’s at the level of a complete beginner.’
Maybe it’s because he’s excited that he looks more like that. Anyway, Kerry was leisurely dodging the guard’s wooden sword.
Seeing that, Lina nodded her head. She had special training. If she had been Kerry before the special training, she would have been in trouble with the guard captain’s reckless rush.
“The man is just running away! Come now and see if I’m afraid.”
“Young. The ambassador is like a fucking third-rate.”
In fact, there was a reason Kerry was avoiding it.
Although its attacks were linear, the destructive power of the wooden sword coming out of its huge body was real. It’s sparring, but he wields it really ignorantly.
‘It’s not easy to dig in like Lina.’
It was a wooden sword wielded by the captain of the guard ignorantly, but it was difficult for me, who had only been learning swordsmanship for two weeks, to penetrate the gap.
‘But I can.’
It was thanks to the excitement of the guard captain. His physicality was better than mine. He also seems to have quite a lot of practical experience. He had no hesitation in hitting people. Rather, it was full of malice.
‘It’s perfect for testing the skills I learned from Lina.’
For a guy who only believes in strength and rushes forward, it is best to do a reverse tour with technology.
Lina called the skill she taught me a catch, but I didn’t feel it was a catch.
To me who knew nothing about swordsmanship, this was a swordsmanship from another world. So it was given a name.
By that name…
Lina’s sword!
‘I’ll show you the spiciness of the highly paid tutoring I received directly from a regressor!’
Kerry, who had been dodging for so long, suddenly started running at him. The captain of the guard who was chasing Kerry flinched briefly at the momentum.
But that was all.
‘What if my bastard attacks me! A guy who looks like a bagel!’
If the guard commander was strong, he was confident. Kerry was a big one too, but she was no taller than he was.
The commander of the guards was going to use his wooden sword to strike Kerry with force.
Two wooden swords collide. Suddenly, a dangerous sound burst out, making me wonder if it was a sparring match.
It was to the point where a cry of amazement erupted from the crowd.
But Kerry didn’t waver in the slightest. It was pouring while receiving the powerful blow of the guard captain.
‘Uh? Uh? Suddenly, a wooden sword…’
Kerry, imagining Lina’s technique, began to imitate it. At first glance, it seemed that Lina could be reflected in Kerry’s appearance.
When the guard captain came to his senses, Kerry’s wooden sword was aimed at the guard captain’s neck.
Dalian ended there. It was a win for Kerry.
At first glance, the villagers cheered in what seemed like a spectacular victory.
“Wow! That’s quite right! That foreigner!”
“The captain of the guard did a good job, but the outsider was one step above.”
“Damn it! I lost all my possessions How are you going to take care of this? You big wild boar!”
“Your brother, a foreigner, is great! Kyaaaaagh!”
Kerry slowly lowered her wooden sword. The head of the guard stood still, staring in surprise as if he had not yet grasped the situation.
“West!”
Natasha ran into her gymnasium and hugged Kerry. As if she were advertising that she was hers.
Lina and her old hag also looked at Kerry happily.
At that time, it was the knight’s actions that erased the festive atmosphere.
“Victoria says. Everyone listen!”
Victoria was watching from a good distance away. She is sitting in a comfortable chair.
Rising from the chair, Victoria began to approach. The status of nobility is absolute.
You don’t know what kind of hardships you will have because of one word that is sloppy or disliked. It was an absurd, different world.
“It was fun. Didn’t she say her name was Kerry…?”
“Yes.”
“You won the bet.”
‘I know that too.’
Commoners watching now may not know this, but this was an event that started with a small bet. Carrying out troublesome work.
“Then… Can I trust you to trust us now?”
“Ahaha. You’re saying something funny. Why can’t you believe the words of a strong man like you? If they set their minds to it, they are the ones who will capture this castle long ago.”
“…”
“You hid your strength from the commander of the guard until the end. Its thoroughness was impressive. “
“No…It’s not like that…”
Kerry decided to give up her explanation.
While Victoria held her weight pretending to be aristocratic, she was subtly flirtatious. No matter what I say now, you won’t believe me.
“I want to officially hire you guys as my escorts. Of course, the wages will be given very generously. It’s not a waste if money can hire you guys.”
They pay very generous wages. In the mouth of a face-conscious aristocrat, the word generous meant to give very generously.
If you give it away in a good way, you lose face.
At that time, Lina tried to step out. She was sure to tell her that with her character, Lina, she didn’t need a wage. But she doesn’t even bother.
“Thank you! Victoria. I will accept it without hesitation.”
Kerry deliberately spoke loudly for all to hear. Lina seemed to be worried, but she just quietly went back to her seat.
‘You have to take what you give. No matter how much money the regressor has.’
“Haha. He’s a fun guy too. How are you? Would you like to sparr with me next time?”
“…”
Are you trying to kill me just because you said you were getting money?
From the look on Victoria’s expression, she could tell that she had only proposed as a joke. But of course she refused. Will she die in sparring?
When she hears Victoria’s words that she will give her a generous wage, her heart melts.
‘It’s not as bad as I thought.’
A former colleague of our Rina. He couldn’t have been a bad person. She said that thanks to Victoria’s pranks, she suffered a little, but since she had learned her swordsmanship, there was nothing wrong with it, so she decided not to keep it in her heart.
“Then do you want to go back to the castle to talk? Let’s have a victory celebration party and listen to the people who are slowly targeting my neck.”
Looking at Lina, she nodded her head as if it were okay.
Residents of the surrounding villages were still in a festive mood. Of course, the captain of the guard was about to die with a deep sigh.
I don’t know what kind of punishment Victoria will give the captain of the guard, but the future looks pretty bleak.
‘Looks good. Hehe.’
She was about to head to the castle with Victoria. From far away, a guard comes running with a riot.
The eyes of the residents were focused on the unusual appearance at once.
It was the same for Victoria and us.
The guard hurriedly ran up, respected Victoria, and began speaking urgently.
“Hundreds of ghouls have appeared in front of the castle!”
