603. [Side Story] Vacation (2)
therefore. With my urgent call, the 5 members of the main party gathered at the manor house.
“Uh, um…”
I was taken aback by the state of the children gathered in front of me.
Lucas, Damian, Evangeline, and Junior all have pale faces. It looks like it’s very sick. Guys?
“everyone… Are you okay? Are you sick?”
At least, these four are probably the least injured among the main heroes. what’s the status
The four looked at each other, and among them, Lucas spoke first.
“I knew that such an existence was the next enemy general, how can I feel comfortable?”
It was a story about the Night Bringer.
Lucas let out a sigh of relief. He was strong enough to crush the mighty Lord of the Flies with a single hand. It’s going to be tough.
“How can I put a sword into that evil dragon’s neck… I couldn’t figure it out, so I thought about it all night.”
“Your face is a mess from lack of sleep.”
“… In fact, it’s not that there aren’t very many ways to think about it.”
Lucas glanced at me, and I clicked my tongue.
“Hey, no matter how you look at it, they won’t give me back X Carnival. Beast shoes are still prohibited.”
The Excarnival, which Lucas had been using for a while, was retrieved as soon as the battle was over and put it back into my inventory.
I don’t know what that evil sword will do to Lucas’ mind.
You shouldn’t follow such an outside path as a demonic sword or beast painting. It may be a power right now, but eventually it will gnaw away at the user’s body and soul.
The situation was so urgent during Lord of the Flies that it was inevitable, but in the future…
“burdock…”
Lucas let out a bear-like noise and dropped his gaze. Uh huh Even if you pretend to be pitiful, I won’t give it to you anymore.
“Evangeline, what are you doing? Are you sick somewhere?”
When I cautiously asked Evangeline, who was lying on the sofa next to him, Evangeline muttered with an inappropriate complexion.
“… Wouldn’t it be strange if my hometown became this shape and my face was bright?”
“That too…”
Evangeline is the heir to the Marquis, who will one day become the lord of Crossroads.
However, the south side of this hometown has all been ruined… My heart will surely be shaken.
“Some are a little bit nervous.”
Evangeline, who flipped over on the sofa and switched to a prone position, bounced her legs.
“Still, I thought that if I were in perfect condition, I would be able to easily receive any attack…”
“Did you?”
“Like Lord of the Flies… In front of such a huge and transcendent power, I thought that even my shield would be of little use.”
Immediately after speaking with her own mouth, Evangeline sulked. Indeed, that was what made it even worse.
“Monsters are getting stronger day by day, how useful my shield will be in the remaining battles… On the ever-growing battlefield, how meaningful that individual’s defense will be.”
Evangeline began spinning her body on the sofa while making a strange sound like ueeeeeeee. It’s dusty, man.
“Well, I have a lot of thoughts~ So I can’t sleep either.”
“Young people who can’t sleep.”
“This senior speaks like an old man again…”
Anyway, I took my eyes off Evangeline, who was rubbing her face with both hands, and looked at Damian next.
“What about Damian? You look hard too. Speak comfortably.”
“Oh, I just worked a little harder… lol.”
Damian scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly. After all, he works as a priest at the temple. Yesterday I had a funeral so I worked all day again.
“I am… I’m only going to think about specific ways to better carry out the orders given by the prince. Because the prince will find a big way…”
Damian smiled innocently with a sly face.
“That black dragon is a scary being, but the prince will find a way as always. I will be prepared to fight well then.”
Aww! Stop sending those innocent eyes of trust! You think I’m going blind!
I turned my head to avoid Damian’s mental attack (?) and saw the last member. Junior is…
‘I lost two young wizards under my command.’
The most offended of us.
Without saying anything, Junior looked at my face cautiously, smiling bitterly with a haggard complexion.
“Your Highness, so… Why did you call us today?”
“ah.”
I quickly brushed off the tight hell training list I had in my head and erased it.
Eh, hell training is what kind of hell training. Let’s take a vacation first.
“You are all on vacation. I called to tell you about it. Don’t think about anything for a while and get some rest.”
Hell training to prepare for a 5v5 team match against Dusk Bringer… Of course I will!
It would be overkill to start right away. Take plenty of rest, slowly recover your body and mentally, and then let’s start.
“Oh my gosh, vacation!”
Evangeline’s eyes widened.
“Somehow, it seems like the first word I heard after coming here. It’s a vacation…”
“Everyone had a hard time. Let’s focus on recovery while resting both body and mind for a while.”
Right after that, Evangeline tilted her head.
“But what should I do on vacation?”
“huh?”
I raised my eyebrows at the absurd question.
“You should play. It’s a vacation to surprise and give.”
“Eh, even if you say so. I have a good sense of what to play with… ?”
All four of them groaned and rested their chins in thought.
I realized all over again. Everyone in this place has been focused on fighting monsters, without any time to pursue their hobbies.
That they had spent two and a half years filled with combat, training, and preparations for battle.
I was speechless for a moment looking at the faces of the children who devoted their fresh youth to the monster front. I smiled shyly and asked.
“… Shall we eat rice while we are together?”
Everyone seems to have no appetite, but I still have to feed them. Let’s think about what to do and rest together while eating.
It was then.
bang-!
Suddenly, the door to the office was shattered open, and everyone glanced in its direction. what?!
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…”
And what ran inside… It was a werewolf with a silver mane.
It took a few seconds to figure out who the opponent was. I panicked and called the werewolf’s name.
“What is Kuyla?”
It was the Beast King Kuylan. After the battle with the Lord of the Flies, he continues to be in that werewolf state. At first, everyone was frightened, but now he is getting used to it.
‘No, it’s not a problem for us to adapt!’
Quylan hurriedly entered the office, closed the door again, and calmed down his breathing.
“I’ll take care of you for a moment, Captain… !”
I pointed my finger at this werewolf.
“What happened… No, before that, what is that thing you’re holding?”
There was something wrapped in a blanket in Quylan’s arms. Why are you holding it so dearly?
“Oh, you mean this?”
Then, Quylan calmly pulled up the blanket and showed the contents.
“I’m Yun.”
“… what?”
Let’s take a look at it, it’s true.
The princess with ivory hair – Arian Yoon was asleep in the blanket as if she were dead. No, it’s the real Yoon! Why is she carrying that person?!
‘Weren’t you being treated at the military camp of the Aryan Kingdom? You say your condition is getting better?’
The side of the Arian kingdom reported that to me. I couldn’t even see his face because the Arian kingdom refused to visit me…
“Anyway, hide it, Captain!”
Quickly looking around, Quylan hurriedly ran towards us, crouching down and crawling under the parlor table. Does that size go in there again?
We all get confused because we can’t understand the situation,
bang-!
The office door opened again. Everyone glanced at him. Who else this time!
“Heo-eok! Huh! Huh!”
The warriors of the Aryan Kingdom and the priests of the Aryan Kingdom were gathered there.
The priest of the Aryan kingdom, who looked around the office with a dismayed expression, shouted.
“Did you see the wolf, wolf?!”
“Are you a wolf?”
“I mean Kuylan! He kidnapped our princess and ran away on his own!”
Me and the main party members exchanged glances in an instant. Everyone is looking at me as if they are leaving the right to decide.
And, Kuylando crouched under the table.
He is looking up at me with his hands clenched.
“….”
Breaking out in a cold sweat, I answered involuntarily.
“Mo, mo, I didn’t see…”
“Really, Your Highness the Prince?!”
“Yes… I guess I didn’t see…”
“All right. Holy shit, I must have been running here… ! Where did you rise?”
The people of the Aryan Kingdom, who had expressed their respect, rushed out of the office.
The sound of my footsteps receded, and I, who was dripping with cold sweat, pointed my hand under the table while screaming kyaaaak.
“I lied because of you, you Little Red Riding Hood wolf! What are you going to do! What the hell did you do to make this happen and even turn the prince into a liar?!”
Cuilan, who pulled himself out from under the table, let out a sigh of relief as if he couldn’t hear my bruises.
I kept shouting at such Qilan.
“And why are you kidnapping Yun? Wasn’t the Arian Kingdom taking care of the treatment?”
“That’s a lie on the part of the Aryan Kingdom, Captain. Yoon saved his life, but he is unable to get rid of the paralyzing poison and is unable to regain his consciousness.”
I opened my mouth in bewilderment. Cuilan continued.
“And the people of the Aryan Kingdom are trying to take Yun back to their hometown. That is also the plan to transport it by land today.”
“what?”
“The king of the Aryan Kingdom said he wanted to see his daughter’s face one last time. That is why such a ridiculous plan was devised.”
Crossroads is at the southern end of the world. The Aryan kingdom at the northern end is far away.
It is a tiring trip even for a healthy person, but it is not a distance where Yoon, who is injured and unconscious, can be transported intact.
“That’s why I stole it. Rather than forcefully transporting them to the north, it is much better to continue receiving treatment at the Crossroads… Wouldn’t it be possible to save it?”
“Yeah, that’s right, but…”
Anyway, is this kind of kidnapping okay? Are there really no problems?
Embarrassed, I parent it, bang! With a sound, the door to the office opened again. Oh my, today is the day to just break down all the doors!
“You were here too!”
It was the people of the Aryan kingdom who entered. After pretending to step back for a while, they raided this place again. Aaaaaaaaa heard!
“I saw the entrance clearly, but no matter how much I try to cover it with the protection of the prince, it’s useless, Quylan… !”
“Kuh…”
“Please return the princess calmly. Don’t develop it into a pointless diplomatic issue.”
The priest of the Aryan Kingdom spat out with a sad face.
“We just wish for the happiness of the princess. She hopes that he will at least close his eyes in her hometown, in the arms of her family. so…”
“… You want Yoon to be happy?”
Kuilan stood up with a snort and pointed at Yoon’s face in his arms.
“Then, the people of the Aryan Kingdom. Look carefully at this.”
Then, the back of her hairy hand… He put it on Yoongi’s cheek.
Shuk.
OK.
Surprisingly, the corner of Yoon’s mouth, who was unconscious and asleep… Isn’t it that it’s going to go up to the top.
Frightened, I cried out.
“What are you talking about?! Weren’t you unconscious?!”
“No, I’m not conscious… obviously not…”
In front of the Arian Kingdom priest who muttered in bewilderment, Quylan continued to demonstrate.
“Look. like this. like this.”
Shuk. Shuk. Shuk.
When Quylan rubbed the soft hairs growing all over his body on Yun’s cheeks and neck, Yun didn’t just smile, he started to drool.
No, even in a coma, if you feel the touch of Kuylan’s fur, are you happy? Like this natural born furry!
Quylan spat out in a determined voice.
“The one with me will be happier for Yoon.”
“Keugh…”
The priest who sneaked up to the side and touched Quylan’s arm directly with his hand trembled and lowered his head.
“This muscle, this hair… I think His Majesty the King will understand it if he touches it himself. I have to admit this…”
“Are you going to admit it!”
I lost consciousness. What are the tastes of northerners… ?
“But it is impossible to disobey His Majesty’s orders. What should we do…”
I stepped in front of the agonizing priest.
“Isn’t Yun’s death what His Majesty wants?”
“Yes, of course, but…”
“There is definitely a way to improve Yun’s condition here at Crossroads. How about continuing the treatment here a little longer? I offer it myself in my name as the Commander here.”
Everyone’s eyes widened. The priest asked in a trembling voice.
“That way… What is it?”
“Under the Lake Kingdom, there is a facility that helps regenerate physical strength and magic. Name Bugok Hawaii… Oh no!”
I urgently corrected the name.
“Dungeon Spa!”
Apparently, it’s time to soak in a hot spring together on vacation.
