Chapter 244 – The Rangers – Part 1
“If it’s Herka… Is that Herka Filiote?”
The members of the warrior party are agitated.
“The best wizard in the kingdom.”
“You still look like a child.”
“You can’t judge by appearance alone.”
Herka stretched out his chest and spoke confidently.
“That Herka Filiotte.
I wish you well. Seniors.”
“It’s cute~!”
Women scream and chatter.
Even if they were women, there were only two women I didn’t know.
They both had normal appearances. Everyone is older than you think. There is not much difference between candidates.
“I don’t think I need an introduction.
Since I was a candidate, I have stopped by here often to help.”
“Neris is still the same.”
Men pay attention to Neris.
She knew at first glance that Neris had been on the front line fighting monsters before.
It’s the first time for Herka and I, but Neris seems familiar with this air.
After the two, I was noticed.
“Who was it?”
“I heard that it was a decal…”
“Where are you from?”
Lisa looked this way and said calmly.
“Decal.
Introduce you to everyone.”
“I don’t have a family name. My name is Decal.
I lived an adventurer’s life, and in Melbrit, I was a dragon-class, student council member special investigator.”
When I said that, everyone started laughing.
Hmm… ?
What’s wrong?
A man with very thin hair—or rather, hairless— looked at me with a chuckle.
“Introducing isn’t like that. Decal.
When I was a candidate, there was no one who wasn’t a dragon level here.
There are also three diamond level adventurers.”
Diamond level. Here?
My adventurer career was mana, to say the least.
One woman is there
“Tell us so we can find out.
Although Herka Filiotte is a celebrity who can be known even on the front lines, Neris’ skills are well known.
Because I don’t know anything about you.”
“His specialties are fire magic and wind spirit magic.”
“Fire…”
… Everyone looked bad.
“Um…”
“It’s fire magic…”
What’s the reaction like?
What did I do wrong
“Neris. What’s wrong?”
I whispered to Neris.
“There is a myth that fire mages are eccentric and hard to match.
There is an impression that it will even burn allies.”
“…”
I think Abba said something like that too.
You have an older brother who handles fire magic, so you must have an accurate perception.
It’s not that I’ve never burned people, but I’ve never hurt anyone on the same side.
She even had a unique skill, so she was confident in her ability to control magic.
I can’t help but suspect that I’m a trustworthy fire mage right now.
“I don’t know about Decal’s magic skills, but
He’s someone you can rely on.”
With Lisa’s words, the atmosphere changed.
Everyone is giving me friendly eyes.
The words of the hero are of different weight. She said she depended on me, who would doubt me?
Hypnosis is also the best.
“Is Blam still there?”
“Yes. Not yet.”
“Then introduce you guys too. So I can remember your name and face.”
“Hi!”
A woman with lush hair like a lion’s mane greets you with a bright face.
“Four people over here, including myself, are CA2 of the rear support team.
Each is a specialist in treatment, investigation, and vigilance. I’m Team Leader Oia. Remember Medic Oia and whatnot.”
“Others, etc…”
Two of the women were medics.
If you look closely, you can tell from the clothes.
Countless pockets and small bags attached to clothes, and a belt full of potions.
A short knife pocket was also visible near her thigh.
“It’s Angel.”
Opposite Oia, a man of great physique, got his word out.
He had short-cropped hair like that of a soldier and had a taciturn look. It was the first time he had actually spoken out in this place.
“Is that all? You have to explain more kindly, Mr. Angel.”
When Oia rebuked him, Angel sighed and added his words.
“I am an adventurer.”
“He’s a diamond-level adventurer, just like Mr. Blam.
He is a man whose entire body is a weapon, to the extent that he is called the tank of Dayton!”
When Oia, who was worse off, just added an explanation, Angel spoke with disgust.
“You don’t have to talk like that.”
“You have to do something you can be proud of.”
Did you mean that senior Blam was also at the diamond level?
To think that the casually passing by was an adventurer of the same level as ISTY.
As he is fighting the demon king army on the frontline, his skills may be more than ISTI.
This is true
I’m ashamed to introduce myself as an adventurer.
The skinny man next to Angel opened his mouth.
“My name is Tonyus.
Deal with summoning. Originally, this team was not… The explanation will be given by the warrior.”
Contrary to his nervous appearance, he was a mild-spoken person.
“I’m Marker. This is Abbett. He’s my brother.”
Marker. Abbett.
The two were twin brothers.
Even the hair was shaved so tightly that it seemed difficult to tell them apart.
“Ah, for reference, the diamond grade is on my brother’s side.
I’ve never been an adventurer.”
… Wasn’t your brother Abbett?
Abbett said with a laugh.
“Even though it’s hard to tell them apart now,
You’ll be able to tell them apart later.”
It was something meaningful.
You mean you’re going to bully me until you can tell them apart?
Of course, it wasn’t that nuance.
As expected, there are a lot of men.
If Neris and Herka hadn’t been there, Belisa would be the only woman who would go into battle without the Medic.
It is the highlight of the party.
I thought there might be more women in this world because there is magic.
It’s a pity that expectations are off.
No, maybe this way is better.
Halfway women are only going to lose their luster compared to Bellisa.
In fact, Oia and one medic did just that.
Neris and Herka are solidifying their charms, but
It’s also strange that there are such women in the guerrilla army.
“Lisa. I’m here.”
At that time, someone enters the room, calling a warrior like me in a friendly way.
It was Blam, a young man with long hair.
The diamond grade…
“Blam. I’ve been waiting for you.
We can’t start talking without you.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been to business.”
Hmm.
The two looked pretty friendly.
“We need some time to introduce ourselves.
We have already said goodbye Isn’t it? Decal?”
Blam makes eye contact with me.
“It did.”
Lisa nodded and continued.
“Everyone gathered.
The people gathered here are selected by myself.
I hope you will risk your life for this operation.”
“What about the operation?”
Blam asks.
Lisa looked down at the map on the table and said.
“Subdue the demon lord.”
Tonyus said worriedly.
“Is this possible with this number?
I can think of three or four people I would like to bring if I were to defeat the demon king.”
“Maintaining the defense line is also an important task.
Even if we hit the demon lord, if the defense line collapses or if Melbrit is attacked, everything will be meaningless.”
“But you must have set up this strategy because there is a chance, right? Lisa.”
Call me Lisa again.
Is Lisa Bloom or what’s up with the ballroom?
Just a colleague Of course.
My stomach is bubbling, but I try not to show it.
Because we’re talking about something important right now.
I decided to listen in silence.
When it comes to judging how to move forward, there is nothing more important than understanding the current situation.
“Hmm.
As you all know, the defense of the Demon King’s army has deteriorated.
They force a camouflage assault on Melbrit.
For large-scale ritual magic, even the Harbinger of the Doomsday who absorbed the Red Soulstone was used.”
“To Melbourne?”
“Such a thing…!”
“I didn’t know the details. You went all the way to the Harbinger of the End? It must have been a mess.”
Everyone is buzzing.
Those cut into pieces like tofu by Seoyeon must have been that strong.
“There must have been quite a few deaths.”
Blam groaned.
“No. It’s not like that.
Decal will tell you more about it.”
Eh?
Lisa suddenly threw the floor at me.
“Decal is a student council special investigator,
He was the one who noticed the signs of the demon king’s attack in advance and responded.
That’s the role I’m looking forward to from him.
Insight we do not have. Wise judgment…”
… Eww. Aww.
Lisa began pouring out compliments.
I’m happy to depend on you, but in this situation… Could it be the opposite effect… ?
Even active diamond level adventurers are looking at me with their eyes shining.
“Oh my god!
The owner of a brilliant brain came to the warriors’ party.
How many years has it been?”
Oia shouts and rejoices.
“Hyung-nim. What’s good about being smart?
Aren’t you supposed to have strong fists?”
Older brother Marker looked at his younger brother Abbet in a pitiful way.
“I know you’re lowering our party’s average intelligence.”
Blam opened her eyes wide and said in surprise.
“I heard from Neris, but
It’s rare for Lisa to praise others like this.
It makes me look forward to it. Decal.”
It’s burdensome!
I need to do something about this vibe before my rating soars above the clouds.
“I only found out by accident.
The reason there were no fatalities was thanks to Herka’s quick response.”
“Yes?”
Herka raised his head and said.
“Dalkal was the one who came to me before anyone else and asked me to help him deal with the situation, right?”
“…”
That’s an order from the student council president…
Ahh. Didn’t Shia’s judgment even become my credit?
Neris. Help me!
“It is the master who saved time by stopping half-demons until the hero came.”
Oia said in surprise.
“Wait. What did you just say? Lord?!”
Marker and Abbett also react with surprised eyes.
“Neris, are you serving that man?”
“What about all the nobles who piled up billions of dollars to take Neris?”
Neris declared with a calm face.
“Yes. I am the master’s treasure… Uhm. I am a knight.”
…
If I had just said it right, I’d be upset.
It seems that the current situation has left my hands.
I just decided to have fun.
Marker let out a long sigh.
“It turns out that unknown rookies are the greatest.
He’s talented and has a good reputation. … To think that Neris serves as a knight. That’s awesome.”
“…”
That… I agree.
It’s taken for granted now, but the fact that Neris Rike serves me as a knight is great.
A normal man would be more than satisfied with her to the core.
But I’m here to do bigger things.
Stare at Lisa
“…?”
To corrupt the pretty hero’s body.
Okay…
I’m trying to make the hero who shouldered the mission of saving the world into a semen receiver.
A special tribute made by Shia.
Lisa is hypnotized and dependent on me without knowing anything.
It’s much harder to get out of than physically tying your limbs together.
It is a trap that binds the mind.
“Decal. Can you continue the story?”
“Hmmm. The attack of the Demon King’s army was successfully stopped, but
The half-drinker born then… The existence of Park Seo-yeon will be the biggest stumbling block before capturing the demon king.”
“Park Seo-yeon?”
Angel, who had been bluntly silent until now, spoke.
There is no reaction to other things, but only check Seoyeon’s name again.
It’s like,
It gave me goosebumps as it seemed to reconfirm the [Enemy’s name] Like a machine.
He might be the scariest person here.
“Park Seo-yeon was originally a human, but
She absorbed a lot of red soul stones and turned into a monster.”
Tonyus said, stroking his chin curiously.
“Half-drinking…
Does that mean that he successfully amplified his power without losing his sanity after transforming into a monster?
Is such a thing actually possible? That’s amazing.”
I thought of Seoyeon, who was beaten by Noah and fell and crawled on the floor.
Okay. It’s not something anyone can do.
Her unnatural obsession with me colored her with her madness.
“Where are you now?”
Angel asks.
“I don’t know.
But it will appear in the near future.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because Seoyeon’s purpose is me.
Will appear where I am And they’re going to make me a priority.”
“…”
Everyone was silent.
The moment I understood what I meant, I had no choice but to shut up.
A man targeted by a woman who absorbed the red soul stone and became a monster.
Oia hesitated before speaking.
“Looks like you have a story.
Did the hero agree to this?
To fight that half-demon.”
“I agreed. I decided to help Decal.
I’ll leave the half-demon to him.”
Blam, who had been listening quietly, looked at me and said.
“You.
Suicide with a lover, I don’t think you’re thinking the same thing.
We’re not here to help with that.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not like that.”
“How can you not worry?”
Angel interjected in a harsh tone.
“At least swear on this spot.
When things don’t go the way you think,
It’s okay if we kill that woman, Park Seo-yeon.”
“…”
As expected, senpai is relentless.
Angel’s point is reasonable. Even when her situation is not going well, he has no intention of being stubborn to save her.
“It’s okay to kill me.
If you leave it to me first. I have no complaints about that.”
“…Hmm.”
Angel nodded his head and closed his mouth again.
Some cool guy
“I hope you all understand the outline.”
Lisa put her hand on the marking horse on the map.
“There are two main goals of this operation.
One is to induce and deal with the half-demon. Then subdue the demon lord.”
Focus on the horse on the map.
It was an area adjacent to the place where the monsters were located, located a little further northwest than our current location.
