Chapter 277
Raon left the gymnasium after finishing all the work Rimer had accumulated.
As I was about to go back to the annex to pack my equipment, I saw Runan blankly staring at the sky.
“hmm?”
He walked over and looked up after her. I don’t know why I’m looking at the sky full of dark clouds so I can’t even see the moon properly.
“Runan. Aren’t you going?”
“That looks like marble ice cream.”
Runan pointed at the blue moon between the clouds and licked his lips. Maybe she couldn’t even eat ice cream because she was busy with training recently, and she was creating a miracle by seeing the moon with ice cream.
“That’s not… ah!”
Raon took out the box he was wearing on his side. It was the dessert Chad gave me earlier.
“Then would you like to eat this? I heard it’s a dessert called macaron.”
“macaroon?”
Purple flames rose in Runaan’s fierce eyes. If I didn’t give it to them, they would follow me all the way to the annex.
“wait for a sec.”
Raon laughed and took off the wrapping paper and opened the lid. There were about 20 cookies with various creams spread between round meringue cookies.
“Choose what you want to eat.”
So far, Runan has ate a lot of them, so he could give them any number of sweets.
-Oh oh!
However, it was Lars, not Runan, who reacted first.
– It smells sweet and refreshing. Raon Sieghart! I will choose the green one at the end! Mint choco is clear!
Lars chose a green macaron with mint chocolate cream. Even calling his name meant that he was desperate.
‘Mint chocolate is nothing.’
-Even at a time like this, take care of the main king!
‘Hmm.’
Raon licked his lips at Lars, who was giving a sad look.
‘It’s not wrong.’
Even a generously given tree needs to be fertilized from time to time. It’s not difficult, so I decided to grant his wish.
“huh?”
With a short tongue click, when Lars chose the macaron, Runan’s shoulders trembled. Seeing her staring intently at the green macaron in her hand, it seems that she was going to choose this one too.
‘What about this? It looks like the ice cream girl wants mint chocolate macaroons?’
-Keuk uh….
‘It’s your subordinate. I have to take care of it. give me Shall I give it to you?’
– Damn you rain!
Lars grinded his teeth. His pupils swayed like pendulums as if he was in extreme agony between his subordinate and his food.
‘I’ll ease your worries.’
-Now wait…
Raon brushed off the las from his wrist and held out a mint chocolate macaroon to Runan.
“You eat.”
“no.”
Runan shook his head. Contrary to expectations, there was no regret in her eyes. Rather, he seemed delighted.
“comrade.”
“uh?”
“Raon is also Mint Choco’s comrade. are you okay.”
She nodded in satisfaction and took a cup of macaron next to the mint chocolate.
“I will do this. thank you.”
Runan nodded and headed for the carriage that had stopped in front of the gymnasium. It seems that he was waiting for a carriage to return to his hometown.
“Um…”
Raon licked his lips as he watched the carriage leave.
‘It’s the only thing I wanted to eat.’
At first glance, it was a macaron that I pulled because it was the color of Quank, but Runan took it away. However, it was more annoying that there was a misunderstanding that I liked mint chocolate.
-Puhahahaha! You guys have times like that too! Flirt! Sprinkle!
‘This looks like it’ll break easily…’
Raon put strength into his fingers as if breaking a macaron. A thin layer of powder fell to the floor.
– Now, wait! do not do that!
‘do not do that?’
-Keuk….
‘Don’t do it?’
-The king of bobon is now wrong…
Lars shook his head with a teary face. Right now, food seemed to be more important to this guy than the pride of being the Demon King.
Is this the Demon King of Wrath?
No matter how you think about it, the properties are wrongly determined. What suited Lars was gluttony or necrophilia.
‘Be careful in the future.’
Raon tapped Lars and put the mint chocolate macaron in his mouth.
The first thing I felt when I bit into the cookie was the sweetness. It is also a sweetness that I have never experienced before. It was so irritating that it made my tongue tingle a little.
What comes next is mint chocolate cream. The slightly cold cream wrapped around the mouth and delivered a refreshing sweetness and spicy taste more than a cookie at the same time.
“Haaa…”
Raon took a deep breath and shook his head.
‘What the hell does this taste like…’
It was a food that I didn’t want to eat again. I felt resentful of Chad for giving me the macaron.
“Las. You don’t like it either… hmm?”
I lowered my head to see Lars’ reaction, but he was drooling with his mouth wide open. -I
can’t believe
this kind of dessert existed in the world…
-You’re crazy. The harmony of sweet cookies and mint chocolate cream is perfect! This is gourmet and this is dessert!
The guy smirked, saying that the world is wide and there are many delicious things.
-next! Try the next one too!
‘Umm…’
Lars’s mouth was watering without realizing it. This time, I chose a chocolate macaron that anyone can recognize.
“Keuheok ….”
The taste itself was better than the mint starter, but the sweetness became stronger. It was so sweet that it left a bitter taste on the tongue.
-Huh!
Lars struggled on his shoulder with an ecstatic expression. It looked like a cat rolling on catnip.
-more! more! Let’s eat more! In today’s new culinary scene…
Raon closed the lid of the macaron tightly while listening to Lars’ cry.
-Yumma!
I can’t eat.
Go back and give it to Sylvia and the maids.
* * *
Raon passed the macaron to the maids and entered the room.
Sylvia and the ladies-in-waiting were miraculously fond of macarons. I asked if it was too sweet, but he said he liked it. At this point, it dawned on him that the problem might be with his tongue, not Lars.
-Keuheuk,
all that wasted …
“I’ll buy you marble ice cream later. Be patient with that.’
– Really?
“I’m going to eat after I go on a mission. Please be quiet.’
– Of course! Isn’t the original king reticent again? do not worry! By the way, when the main king was in the world of demons, his subordinates said that he was too quiet and expressed his opinion…
“Ugh…”
I said ice cream to keep it quiet, but it got louder.
Raon shook his head and gathered things to bring to the mission.
As I was putting my equipment and consumables in my backpack, I could feel the presence of a person by the window. I was so familiar with this temperament that I immediately opened the window.
“Long time no see!”
Rimmer, who covered his eyes with black glasses, approached with a grin.
“Why did you wear black glasses in the middle of the night?”
“Oh this? it’s fashion fashion.”
Rimmer awkwardly shook his hand, saying he didn’t know fashion.
“I heard you’re going on a mission the day after tomorrow?”
“yes. Will the lord stay?”
In the mission statement Chad gave, the person in charge was himself. Rimer meant to stay here.
“I want to go with you, but moving like this won’t help much.”
“That makes sense.”
Raon nodded. Rimer chose to build pure wind aura, so he hasn’t accumulated enough aura yet. It was better to train within the family rather than wasting time on the move.
“Because he said so. Are you a little sad?”
“It’s just what the lord said.”
“Still, man! If your teacher and boss are depressed, you should comfort them! You didn’t notice, so it’s too late for you to become big.”
“Whoa…”
He sighed because he was the second most troublesome person after Lars.
“Looking at me now, I thought it was a nuisance!”
It was a ghost.
“Well, the joke ends here.”
Rimer smiled and rested her arms on the window sill.
“From this mission, you are in charge. No one is looking after you like before. With your judgment, the Gwangpungdan can be annihilated or all of them can survive.”
His eyes shone brightly like moonlight.
“Responsibility can be lighter or heavier than you think.”
“Are you saying it depends on what I think?”
“okay.”
Rimmer snapped his fingers.
“Be careful not to be weighed down by its weight and not fooled by its lightness. If it were you, you would be fine.”
“Has Danju always been so light as to fly?”
“It hurts. Why are there so many sharp-tongued people these days?”
He clutched his chest and pretended to be in pain, then lifted his chin.
“Are you wearing a pyroxene necklace?”
“Are you talking about this?”
Raon took out the pyroxene necklace he was wearing on the inside of his neck. I’ve been wearing it ever since Loen told me about its efficacy.
“okay. that.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to you. I’ll sell it anyway and gamble…”
“Yumma! No matter what, I won’t rob subordinates!”
“Absolutely not,” he shook his head.
“What are you looking at me for?”
“A gambling addict, a swindler, a lazy thief?”
“Kuuu…”
Rimer staggered as he clutched his chest once more.
“I cannot dispute it.”
He laughed and leaned his back on the window sill.
“Raon. Don’t ask for the Gwangpungdan.”
A serious voice brimming with concern. It seems that the desire to go together was sincere.
“I will bring you all safely.”
“Don’t wait.”
Rimer waved lightly and left.
Raon looked at his back and exhaled a low breath.
‘Responsibility…’
I always thought that I had a lot of responsibility instead of Rimer, but my heart felt heavy when I thought of taking responsibility for Gwangpungdan alone.
Because Rimer pretended to play and pretended to sleep, but was always watching everyone from behind.
Raon looked in the direction Rimer had left and lowered his head.
‘I look forward to the day we can be together again.’
* * *
Chad headed to the 5th gymnasium just in time for the Gwangpungdan to depart.
“…This time, the Sovereign Lord is not present. We have to deal with everything on our own, so harden your mind so that you can always keep your cool.”
Raon’s voice came from inside the gymnasium. It seemed to encourage everyone because it was a mission to leave without sobriety.
‘He knows how to handle people.’
Excited for the first time in charge of the mission, I did not think about making a contribution and tried to restrain the members first. As expected, I was a person.
“depart.”
With a low voice, the gymnasium door opened and members of the Gwangpung Troupe came out in a row.
Chad waited by the side of the gymnasium door and approached Raon the moment he came out.
“The sub-lord.”
“Sir?”
He opened his eyes wide, as if he hadn’t even thought he’d come.
“What’s going on here…”
“I have researched information about Grenseville and the Church of the White Blood, but I brought it because it was a shame to throw it away. I hope this helps.”
Chad smiled lightly and held out the booklet he had been gathering information from.
“I was on my way home from work after doing some work all night last night. Don’t be burdened.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Raon received the booklet with a bewildered expression.
“Then I wish you luck.”
Chad smiled lightly as if he had no regrets and turned his back.
‘Perfect!’
Actually, that booklet was made yesterday, and I was waiting for it because I woke up early instead of leaving work, but I made good excuses to avoid burdening Raon.
It was the perfect way to leave a good impression without burden.
‘Now let’s prepare the next one.’
Chad went back to the non-banquet, congratulating himself that he had done a great job.
* * *
After memorizing all the booklets Chad gave him, Raon burned them. I narrowed my eyes as I watched the ashes flying into the air.
‘The information is too detailed.’
It was not only information about Gran Seville, but also quite high-quality information that included the recent activities of the White Blood Church and their techniques.
‘Non-banquet owner Chadra…’
I’m getting more and more suspicious.
It was so strange that the family’s heavyweight, Bi Banquet Lord, came to the gymnasium early in the morning and handed over this information. Originally, the head of an information organization has a heavy butt and is authoritative in many cases.
Even though Chad is on the younger side, it was not normal for him to take care of him to this extent.
‘Maybe it’s not the white blooded church.’
Contrary to what I said in the request, I strongly thought that the enemy might not be the White Blood Church, but the warriors or assassins prepared by Jungmujeon or Jinmujeon.
‘It’s a bit dangerous.’
Unlike the White Blood Church, they were aware of this side’s strength, so there was a possibility that a bad situation could arise.
‘Then there is a way.’
A very simple way.
While going from here to Gran Seville, it was a simple matter to solve by increasing the power of the Gwangpungdan and surpassing their information.
‘There.’
Raon was alone and saw Martha leaning against a tree.
I’ve been in that state ever since I heard that the enemy is likely to be the White Blood Church. He radiated murderous intent and anger that exceeded his strength, so even a trillion could not approach her.
‘Especially if I want to make him come to his senses.’
Raon gave a cool smile as he watched Gwangpungdan taking a break after half a day.
“Everybody wake up.”
“already?”
“I haven’t even rested for 10 minutes yet.”
Gwangpungdan whined, asking for a little more rest.
“Then sit down and listen.”
He nodded and met Gwangpungdan’s gaze.
“As I said at the start, there is a possibility that this mission may be manned by the enemy. That means we may be fighting enemies who know us. Then what should I do?”
“Um…”
“That’s…”
Everyone tilted their heads without answering.
“As you all know, it takes quite a while while we go to Gran Seville. Should I just throw that time away?”
“uh…?”
“I can’t stand it…”
Gwangpungdan sensed a strange presence and swallowed dry saliva.
“that’s right. From now on, I will start practicing on the go.”
“Oh, no!”
“You madman!”
“Let’s do it in moderation!”
The members of the Gwangpungdan screamed and hit the floor.
“Wait a minute! What will we do if our stamina runs out during training? There is a possibility that we will fight as soon as we get there. Or you could be ambushed while on the move!”
Burren shouted, raising his hand.
“don’t worry. I’ll take a shortcut so you can’t make an ambush, adjust your schedule, and improve your physical condition by the time you arrive at Gran Seville.”
I’ve been to Gran Seville many times in my previous life, so I know many shortcuts and hiding places. There was no such thing as meeting an assassin in the middle.
“Kkeuh…”
“Damn it…”
“Why doesn’t that human know nothing!”
Burren and Gwangpungdan could not refute and were scattered on the floor.
“It’s okay!
Crane smiled and slapped his wrists and ankles.
“There is no black ring. I can survive without it…”
“Don’t worry about that either. Dorian.”
When Raon gestured, Dorian came forward with a dead body. He bit his lip and reached into his belly pocket to pull out the black ring.
“I didn’t know if something like this might happen, so I asked Dorian.”
He smiled lightly and gestured.
“Everyone put them on and get ready to run.”
“No, no, no!”
The screams of the Gwangpungdan rang through the quiet mountain.
* * *
Colorful buildings filled the hexagonal manor, and the lake behind them emitted a brilliant light that seemed to melt gold in the afternoon sunlight.
Although it was incomparably smaller than the kingdoms and cities he had visited so far, this small city that was second to none in its splendor was Gran Seville.
Raon nodded as he looked around Gran Seville behind the low wall.
‘It’s still the same here.’
Entertainment has a corner that takes a person’s mind off of it. It was a perfect place for an assassination and has actually carried out countless missions to this city.
‘Though I feel different.’
In my previous life, I came to kill people, but this time I came to save people, so the feeling was new.
“Wow…”
“Is this Gran Seville?”
“As I’ve heard, it’s gorgeous.”
The gwangpungdan members opened their mouths while looking at the splendid exterior of Gran Seville and Malve Lake.
“…”
Marta, perhaps still thinking only of the White Blood Church, glared at Gran Seville with a sharper momentum than before.
“let’s go.”
Raon chinned up and took the lead, and Gwangpungdan caught his breath and followed.
When I showed the mercenary plaque given to the gatekeeper in front of the castle gate, he motioned me to enter without even checking it properly.
‘This is still the same.’
If Cameloon has a balance between the positive and negative sides, Gran Seville is much closer to the negative side, so the inspection was also formal.
After Raon got the mercenary plaque back, he entered Gran Seville through the thin and low gate.
Woo woo woo.
As soon as both feet stepped on the land of Gran Seville, the soul sword made a rough vibration.
‘Look at this?’
Raon tightly gripped the swordsman of the howling Requiem Sword. He looked down at the splendid city and drew a cool smile.
They are very swarming like cockroaches.
