Raise a Warrior 68

Chapter 68 – Chapter 16. Baking.

The group of Ji-hyeok drove another 15 days to reach the small town of Franca. Something unusual was flowing in this place where the beautiful fields were spread out. People’s expressions trembled with anxiety somewhere, and the atmosphere was calm.

Jihyeok guessed that something was going on, but he didn’t know what it was. Kayak must have noticed something similar, and he said quietly to the captain before entering the inner sanctuary.

“Captain, something seems to be going on.”

“… It looks like that.”

Only then did the rest of the team belatedly read this atmosphere. Anxiety spread to them as well.

The wagon carrying Jihyeok’s team went into the castle. Hearing that the hero had arrived, Baron Franky personally came out and welcomed them. His expression looked as if he had met a savior.

“A warm welcome, warrior.”

“I don’t know what to do with your hospitality.”

Ji-hyeok sent his teammates to the dorm building first, and then faced the baron alone. The hero was lucky that the atmosphere in the city looked very strange.

“Well, actually…”

“It’s okay. Let me tell you.”

“Swarms of ghouls are sweeping around the area. Not one or two villages have already been hit.”

“… Are you going to bake?”

Jihyeok felt sorry for the moment. Speaking of ghouls, it reminded me of the count’s dead daughter.

… Did it eventually spread like this?

It was clear that this was related to the events that happened in the surrounding villages of Hero Elaim and the city of Kronostan at the time. … After all, it was right to remove the fire in advance if there was one. I realized that once again.

It wasn’t his fault that this happened. Of course, there were aspects that I couldn’t help because the situation was the situation, but I still couldn’t be completely free from the theory of responsibility.

“I sent a request for help to the Empire, but… , It’s a difficult situation to wait for.”

“Okay.”

The baron looked at the hero. This is a problem he cannot solve on his own. I urgently asked for help from the surrounding cities, but everyone said there was no answer. … Well, they must all be in a hurry to defend the territory.

“Has the hero never visited this place before?”

“There were two, and both left saying they would ask the Empire for help.”

It was clear that he ran away because he didn’t want to do it just by looking at it. All Hero bastards are like that. It was already expected.

The baron’s expression became very urgent. He seemed worried that Ji-hyeok would just leave.

“I really can’t stand it anymore. They’re getting closer. It’s really the end of the day when you attack even a city like this. … Hero, please feel sorry for us and help us.”

The baron seemed to know that now was not the time to save face. He begged Jihyeok for help.

“Let’s discuss it first. Of course, I’m reviewing it positively. So don’t worry too much.”

“… All right. I am eager to hear a good answer.”

So the two broke up. Jihyeok left the palace and headed straight for the building. The team members who had already unpacked their luggage and were waiting for the captain in the parlor stood up to greet him.

“Captain-!”

Bald Gide rushed over, cringing and laughing ironically.

“I’m going to take a few days off this time… ?”

“Everyone gather around.”

Jihyeok ignored the bald guy’s questions and gestured for them to gather. It was only then that Gide realized something serious was going on.

Except for Jihyeok, the other six team members sat around a round table. Their eyes turned to the standing captain.

“There is a problem.”

The team members’ expressions became serious. Kayak stepped up as a representative and asked.

“What’s the matter?”

“It is said that a group of ghouls are sweeping through the surrounding villages.”

“Are you going to bake?”

Gide asked in dismay. Not only the bald guy, but everyone else seemed unexpected. I don’t think the ghouls were the problem.

There, Jihyeok just declared.

“I guess I have to step in.”

“… Should I?”

Gide opened his mouth with a worried look on his face.

“When the time comes, the empire will dispatch a warrior, but wouldn’t it be better to just pass by? I don’t think there’s any need to scrape it to make a boil.”

“No. After procrastinating like that, things got this much bigger. I’ve seen an incident similar to this in the past. But even after over a year, nothing has changed. … Can you explain this?”

Only then did Gide shut up. Jihyeok glanced at his teammates and spoke again.

“If I, a hero, just stand by and pass by, is that a hero of the continent or a mercenary of the empire who just takes my own greed? … I am a warrior for the peace of the continent. I don’t know how much bigger this will become in the future. It is something we can prevent a greater sacrifice in advance.”

Kayak nodded his head and lowered his head lightly.

“You are right a hundred times. I will follow the captain’s orders.”

He said that everyone would follow the warrior’s choice. Grace and Glendal also put off their revenge this time. Because that’s not more urgent than the crisis right in front of you.

“Thanks. Thank you for understanding my meaning.”

“No. Even if the captain says we have to go to hell, it is us who must follow him.”

Kayak showed loyalty. When Gide heard that, he was horrified.

“Well, isn’t it a bit like hell?”

Jihyeok laughed.

“I won’t drag you to hell by force.”

Gide stroked his chest as if he was relieved. And right away, a nasty laugh broke out.

“Ah, in fact, I was planning to follow you all the way to hell too! Hehe, Captain, do you believe me?”

“Ugh, that ugly bastard—! I don’t even know honor. Shame on you!”

Mahoushu pointed a finger at him. Gide asked again if honor would feed him. A small laugh broke out. The tense atmosphere was relieved a bit.

“Then you know. I’ll put off the mission for a while and focus on this issue. … But it won’t take too long. Promise me. Are you okay?”

Jihyeok said that while looking at Grace and Grendal. They nodded, saying no problem.

The hero made that decision and went to see the baron again. He was very anxious.

“How did you decide?”

“I decided to try and fix this problem for now.”

Ah!

The baron’s face brightened as if he had been brought back to life. He was at a loss as to how to express his gratitude.

“It’s what a warrior should do anyway.”

“You are a true warrior. I will never forget this grace.”

“By the way, there are quite a few things I need, would you support me for that much?”

“Of course. Just talk. I will support you as much as I can.”

The baron said he would hold a banquet right away. However, Jihyeok refused. It’s enough even after the work is done.

“Just take care not to be uncomfortable.”

“I will tell the lower ones firmly.”

Once the work started like that.

Jihyeok first sent an investigation team and a reconnaissance party here and there. He didn’t want to waste his time. The goal this time was to find and deal with enemies as quickly and accurately as possible.

The baron also saved knights and porters to move with later. The ten-member knights decided to obey the hero’s command until the ghouls were dealt with.

Ji-hyuk listened to the stories of the survivors who roamed the city until the investigation and reconnaissance teams sent outside returned. He had Grace by his side. I thought that working so busy would help her with her anxiety.

… He’s a strange person

In her honest feelings, Grace felt that if she had been a warrior, she would probably have passed on, pretending she didn’t know. But this warrior… , Was much more just. She has been on the hero team for a long time and has seen many heroes, but this is the first time she has ever seen such a hero. Even though she was stricken to the point of being stabbed, her sense of justice mysteriously did not fade.

Nor was she pretending to be righteous. He sincerely tried to solve this problem. Even without expecting anything in return.

Is that possible? What do you want for nothing in return? Just a sense of justice?

She wondered if a person like this could be said to be a true hero. … The feeling was a bit subtle.

“Grace?”

“… Yes?”

“Where are you uncomfortable?”

“No. Are you okay. I was just thinking.”

Jihyeok asked me to go back to the dorm. Grace walked with her shoulder to shoulder with him. A beautiful evening sunset was setting. Ah. Her heart skipped a beat at this warm sunlight hitting her body.

He glanced sideways at her expression. He headed to the square. And he sat down next to her in front of a small fountain. He bought her fruit near her and held one out to her. She took it and looked up at him slightly.

“Eat.”

Jihyeok said that and watched the setting sun with a grin. Grace also crunched the fruit.

… Something calm She was the feeling she thought she would never feel again.

Suddenly, tears flowed. Embarrassed, she quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve. But the tears wouldn’t stop, as if her tear glands were out of order.

“Ah, uh, why, why are you doing this…”

Without saying a word, the captain gently rubbed Grace’s back. She couldn’t hold back the warmth and sobbed, holding her face with her hands.

“Yes, you can. Are you okay. Someday it will all pass all…”

She cried until her sunset was over, then barely stopped. Her swollen eyes were a bit blinding.

“Sorry. It’s ugly…”

“It’s okay, cursing girl.”

Aww. The word cursing made Grace feel her heart tingle.

“… Surely you still don’t like it?”

“I don’t think I will ever forget it. I was so shocked.”

“That, then that… , There was also the captain’s fault. You really think I’m the kind of person who swears at just about anyone?”

Grace snapped like a spittle. Jihyeok smiled silently. Startled, she grabbed his arm and stopped.

“You really think so? Really?”

“Why? I didn’t answer anything.”

“No, it’s even weirder when you don’t answer. … Please answer. Do you really think so?”

“Well.”

Jihyeok started to walk forward again with his arm held. Uh- As she was being pulled forward, she missed his arm.

“Let’s hurry. Your teammates will misunderstand.”

“… Am I wrong?”

“It’s misunderstood when a man and a woman stay together until the dark.”

“Who is misunderstanding like that! This shit, if you have it, just snap it…”

As she tried to scream, she cleared her throat and looked at him.

“I understand. If you hang out with nasty guys, your mouth can get a little nasty.”

“No, because it’s not, well—!”

“But, it’s not something I’ve done once or twice.”

Grace kept her mouth shut as if she couldn’t say it. Jihyeok just smiled. By that time, they had already arrived at the inn building.

They ate a simple meal and dispersed to their respective rooms.

Soon, someone came to Jihyeok’s room. It was Yayel. She hadn’t even looked at the captain’s cock for nearly a month, and she was very impatient.

Having already been rejected once, she worked hard on how to excite the captain more.

So, as soon as she entered the room, she suddenly fell down like a dog and crawled right in front of him.

… Huh, look at this year?

Jihyuk laughed. For some reason, this drug addict seemed to be developing that way day by day. I wonder if this is the result of being so desperate with his smart brain…

The hero immediately untied the laces of her trousers because he felt it was a pity that Yael had been making such a tearful effort. He wanted to feed him some cock for the first time in a while.

Ah!

She was very happy that her sincerity had worked. It seemed to work very well for her to see him pull out his cock on his own.

Done. This is it Also this works

“I haven’t washed yet.”

“Are you okay. If it’s the captain, I don’t care…”

Yayel didn’t care at all and put Jihyeok’s cock in her mouth. I didn’t mind the salty taste either. If it was the captain’s, everything was just fine.

The magician who was able to suck the hero’s cock was very happy.
