Chapter 65 – Chapter 14. Recruitment.
Grace brought a mountain of luggage from the Mendevar family. Even if he counted the wagons, he was nearly four cars. She even took up two of her rooms. One was a bedroom, the other a dressing room.
Anyway, the room was spacious, so Jihyeok didn’t care if the cursing healer had two or three rooms.
After playing for almost two years, Grace almost lost her sense of the game, so her skills at first were permanent. However, with her natural talent and her burning vengeance, she was quickly regaining her old senses.
Jihyeok did not miss training with Mafushu every day. After he seemed to have mastered the skill to some extent, he began combat training like a real battle. Healer Grace also accompanied them. This was to prepare for any unforeseen contingencies. Kayak quietly watched the two men and women training from the window of his room.
The warrior used a fist instead of a sword. He had nothing better than a fist to beat without killing.
“I don’t see you.”
Woo woo.
Jihyeok raised his momentum. Mafushu took a stance with a tense expression on his face, holding the short spear tightly. Certainly, compared to the past, the system was set up to some extent.
“Come on as if you’re really going to kill me.”
“… Yes.”
Even Mafushu thought so. The difference in power between the two was too extreme to think of watching and sleeping. She wondered if she would be able to make her attack even once, no matter how desperately she struggled.
Jihyeok went hard from the start. He ran out in an instant and swung his fist.
ㅡㅡ!!
Mafushu hurriedly twisted her body and swung her spear. She quickly tried to distance himself from him, but he relentlessly followed.
Here, he had to exercise the flexibility and flexibility he spoke of. She used everything around her. Sometimes she even tried to muddy the ground by kicking it. However, she did nothing to Ji-hyeok.
The mighty fist of the warrior pierced the pit of the stomach. Paw-. A breath mixed with pain escaped Mafushu’s mouth. But she didn’t give up and fought back.
But this time, a fist hit his chin. Her head snapped.
Ah.
In an instant, my eyes flashed. She instinctively threw her body behind her. However, Jihyeok quickly caught up with her, breaking her leg and at the same time punching her chest again with her fist.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
She fell flat on the ground.
“Aww!”
Mafushu gritted her teeth in excruciating pain and struggled a little. She didn’t catch her breath. Jihyeok was about to put his fist down into her face, but stopped abruptly.
Had it fallen, her face would have been completely bruised. She gasped for her barely-opened breath, calming her startled chest.
Jihyuk’s expression was not very good. Ma Hushu felt her heart pounding.
“Why do you seem to have lost more of your guts than before?”
The mixed-race beast did not say anything. Ugh She slowly raised her sore body. She felt herself ungainly. True to his words, she failed to show the pride of an honorable warrior.
“Are you conceited of your skills? Hey, Mafushu, don’t be ridiculous. Great warrior? You still can’t do it with those toenails. Didn’t I tell you to kill me? But what is it? Are you kidding me that you’re sick right now? Are you kidding me?”
Jihyeok mercilessly threw his head at Mafushu, who was holding his head down.
“Even if one arm is blown off, you have to fight without groaning. Even if one eye color is plucked out, you have to fight while looking at it with a different color. You have to transcend pain, huh?!”
“Sorry, sir. We will work harder.”
“I can’t say that I work hard. Think of this or die. Okay? Can’t you answer quickly?”
“Yes, I understandaaaaa!!”
Mahu Shu closed her eyes tightly and answered as if screaming at the sky. It was like the cry of an angry guerrilla trainee.
Jihyeok smoked his cigarette and snapped his finger at Grace, who was watching the match. She got up from her seat and came slowly toward them.
“Give me heels.”
Grace gave her heel towards Mahou Shu. The wound healed neatly.
“Practice more. Practice like dying … I will watch.”
“Yes, chief.”
Ji-hyeok left the mixed-race prisoner alone and returned to the mansion with Grace. The smoker healer, who was closely following him, said quietly.
“… Isn’t that too harsh? It’s a girl, so be a little more kind.”
“If you don’t train like a real battle, you will die later. This is also understated. … If you die, whether you’re kind or not, what’s the point? And I’m the boss It is my duty not to let my comrades die.”
Grace’s heart sank in an instant. … He was right. What’s the point if you die?
My first impression was that he was a bit nasty, but he was a much better captain than I thought. He had only been with them for three days, but he could sense how much his teammates respected him.
He was certainly an outstanding figure, as rumored. He felt something reassuring when he was with him. … Revenge seemed like it could really work.
True-. Jihyeok stopped walking and turned his body around with his exclamation. Grace stopped and looked up at him slightly. For what?
“Is there anyone you can recommend? I’m looking for it now, but I can’t find anyone who deserves it. … Don’t be burdened I’m just asking. Just wondering.”
Grace hesitated a little. There is one person that immediately comes to mind. … However, I was a bit unsure if I could really recommend it.
“There is one, but…”
He was then one of three people who barely survived the horrific accident.
“Who? Say it. Because it’s okay.”
Grace finally revealed her name.
“There is an orc named Grendal. … He was a colleague of mine before. I know it’s in the capital, but I don’t know more than that.”
“Grendal?”
“But, it won’t be very likely.”
Jihyeok smiled.
“So were you. … If you long for something, it will move.”
That was right.
She was desperate
… And he will probably be desperate too.
· · ·
Glendal got up early in the morning, picked up the pile of laundry her children had piled up, and headed to the backyard. He poured all his clothes into a large tin can and poured water over it. Then he stomped on it and started washing.
Since he came to this orphanage, every morning, except for rainy days, he started with laundry. When that was over, he hung out the laundry and prepared the meal. About that time, a loud bell rang.
– Weather, knight ang.
At the high voice of the orphanage director, the children woke up. Then, I washed up and prepared breakfast. Her hands were in short supply, so Grendal was busy helping out.
After feeding all the children like that, the next thing was a simple writing class. Having learned a little, he even acted as a teacher.
All the children liked Grendal. The kind and always smiling orc never got angry. He always cherished children with love. He gave equal love to all children, whether human, orc, goblin, or troll.
So, people around him treated him as a strange orc. How could an orc be so docile, that was it.
The orphanage was poor. I was always struggling with no money. So, whatever the orc did, he took it upon himself. He fixed everything he needed himself. He sewed the children’s tattered clothes all night long. If someone fell ill, he would carry his luggage and earn money to get medicine.
It would be nice to get a donation from the nobles, but they didn’t want to spend a single penny on this useless orphanage. Having grown up in an orphanage, I managed to survive with the money that people sometimes gave me.
Still, the orphanage was always happy. The children believed in and followed the director and teachers like their parents.
Then one day.
Someone came looking for Glendal. Were two men and women. The woman was familiar to him too.
“Grendal.”
“… Grace.”
The orc never imagined that she would come looking for him. Haven’t you heard rumors that she’s gone and runs around like her crazy bitch?
However, the current situation was completely different from the rumors. Compared to before, her face was quite haggard, but her eyes were still alive. … As if something had a purpose in life again.
“What are you doing here?”
“I have something to offer you.”
“Proposal?”
And the man came out. He was a handsome human male.
“I am the warrior Kang Ji-hyeok.”
“… It’s an honor to meet you, champion. But what happened to this humble place… ?”
It was expected. If he had come with Grace, the reason was obvious.
“I want to recruit you.”
However, Grendall shook her head resolutely as if it had nothing to do with it.
“Sorry. Now she has vowed never to return to the battlefield again.”
“Demon Genevi, you know?”
ㅡㅡ!!
The orc’s gaze sharpened. Something burning inside of him was conveyed through his eyes.
“I don’t want to hear more. Just go back.”
Then Grace stepped out.
“Grendal, you can get revenge. A chance to kill that demon. Give me your strength.”
“Grace, think wisely. Just like you before.”
“Grendal-!”
“I have decided not to fight anymore. I’m happy. Then it happened.”
“After all, are you going to run away again?”
Grendal glanced over her orphanage.
“I will protect these children. That is my way of atonement.”
“No, you have to kill the devil. It’s the only way out of this pain.”
“It’s overcast, Grace.”
“You’ve gotten even dumber, you asshole. … Still don’t know This is our last chance!”
As Grace gritted her teeth, she shouted at the frustrated orc. Then her Jihyeok raised her hand to stop her.
“It’s done. Well, you don’t want to do it, but you don’t have to hold on to it for a long time.”
Jihyuk laughed lightly. Then he pulled out a leather pouch from his bosom.
“Come on, get it.”
“… What is this?”
“You pretend you don’t know what you know.”
“All right. Please decline.”
“Think of it as a donation. Don’t be burdened.”
The orc received the pouch without hesitation. … Actually, money was pretty urgent. The orphanage now has a lot of debt.
“Finally, I will tell you what I think.”
“I will listen.”
“I understand what you mean. But I don’t think it’s bad for you to help Grace avenge her once. Because it’s the only way to get out of this bondage. Then your guilt will be eased a little. … Thank you for listening to my presumptuous words.”
“No.”
“And the orphanage will need money. It’s a rare opportunity to earn money while taking revenge. … Well, the decision is yours.”
Grendal bit her mouth shut. Jihyuk patted his arm.
“Think carefully. … Let’s go, Grace.”
Grace gave her old colleague a penetrating look, then turned and followed Jihyeok. Grendal watched the back of the couple leaving her for a long time before she slowly turned her body around.
He opened his pocket and checked his money. Everything inside was gold coins. There seemed to be at least thirty.
Ah.
If you save it, you can last for two months. Of course, if you think about debt, it will be much less.
Anyway, he delivered the money to the director without taking out a single penny from his pocket. The old director was surprised and asked where he got this money.
“Someone donated it.”
“No, I can’t thank you so much.”
The director smiled brightly for the first time in a while. The orc was a bit confused.
All day, he was troubled. He didn’t even have a job in his hands. Even when I lay down at night, I couldn’t sleep.
– Aaaaa!!
I heard the screams of my colleagues. He covered his ears with both hands and groaned.
It’s because of me. If I, if I had guessed If I had hit him, none of this would have happened.
Soft-hearted, he struggled with guilt. In that one mistake, he lost almost all of his valuable comrades. He couldn’t get out of that nightmare.
– You have to kill the demon. It’s the only way out of this pain.
Grace’s words kept coming to mind. At last, Grendal jumped out of bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
Whoops, whoops.
The teeth were chipped. In fact, anger toward the devil was still burning within him. He stared at the floor with ferocious eyes.
– After all, are you trying to run away again?
Grace, who suffered the most, eventually decided to confront him again. The orc looked back at himself.
His pain was no less than hers. Due to his own mistake, many of his precious comrades died. It was a really painful day to the point of going crazy.
You can take revenge. Can kill him
The desire to kill the devil was like a chimney. Of course, even if you succeed in revenge, not all suffering will disappear, but at least a lot of it can be relieved.
– Aaaaa
The screams of his comrades haunted him incessantly through the night.
Grendal did the laundry early in the morning and hung it on a line. She and she even watched the meals being prepared and her children having a delicious breakfast.
“Let’s play as much as we want today.”
Orc laughed and said that. The children ran out into the yard excitedly. He looked at it with delight.
Soon he entered the director’s office. She was busy planning how to spend the big money.
“Ah, Grendal, welcome.”
“Director.”
“What happen?”
“… I think we should leave.”
The old director’s eyes widened. Glendal lowered her head in apologetic manner.
“Sorry. … However, there are things you must do. I will definitely come back, Director.”
The director let out a small sigh. But he smiled even more strongly than before.
“If you must leave, you must leave. I’ve been through a lot during this time. You have no idea how much I depended on you.”
“Sorry. Sorry.”
“What do you have to be sorry about? I’m rather sorry. Thank you. Thank you so much, Grendall.”
“I am not leaving immediately. … But I don’t know exactly when I will leave.”
“Yes, go any day you want. Don’t worry about it. By all means, achieve what you want.”
Glendal bowed her head and left her director’s office. And she immediately left the orphanage and headed for the mansion where the hero was. She grabbed passers-by and asked after questioning until finally she arrived in front of the mansion of the warrior Kang Ji-hyeok. Her guard was very tight.
“Who are you?”
“Let’s say it’s Grendal.”
The guard’s gaze changed. It seemed that she had been prearranged.
“Wait.”
The guard put a message inside. Soon someone came out. Was the manager. The guards quickly bowed.
“Follow me.”
Orc Grendal followed the caretaker.
Soon he met the hero in the drawing room.
“What is our Mr. Orc up to here?”
Jihyeok said that with a tone that he knew everything. Glendal jumped up from his seat and politely bowed his head. Unexpectedly, it was an orc with good manners.
“Without shame, I came to ask you a favor.”
“Try it.”
“I will lend an arm. … Instead, take care of the children.”
The hero liked Grendal’s kind heart. It was an unusually good orc. He went over to the orc and gave him a friendly pat on the arm.
“Of course not. Of course I will. … We warmly welcome you. Become a colleague.”
