Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

A desperate scream echoed through the village.

Serin herself was the first to respond to that word.

‘My, what the hell did I just say…’

No matter how much they live, they claim to be mere human pets.

It was even more shocking that I did not feel any rejection even when I put it in my mouth.

A shame she had forgotten about in this town rose to the surface and tormented her.

However, not knowing this, Lucia tilted her head and asked again.

“Is that really true?”

The fingers that were pressing on his forehead lost strength and then he lowered his hand.

At least he is looking at himself with all his life left behind. In that situation, Serin had only one option left.

“No, that’s right. I, I am…”

But it doesn’t come out easily.

Although she is now limp and wearing shabby clothes, she was originally a noble person.

Even for Serin who had already succumbed to Kael, it was not easy to downgrade her status to the bottom.

“Aren’t you quick to answer?”

“yes! I’m Kael’s pet!”

But with her life at risk, she soon nodded to admit it.

I hate being sick, and I hate dying even more. That was the reason she realized terribly in her previous battle with Kael.

Lucia no longer had any doubts about that desperate look.

“Really? Are you really Kael’s pet?”

“Uh, ahhh…”

“Miraculous. I think elves can be pets too.”

The more Lucia spoke with admiration, the more her eyes became moist.

It’s not enough for me to speak with my own mouth, so I’m even listening to others.

The only comforting thing was that Cael had only one ear to listen to.

While stroking Serine like that, Lucia remembered something and opened her mouth immediately.

“I do remember hearing things like that from orcs and goblins for sure. I think it was pigs or livestock.”

“Ah, ah ha ha…”

It’s the first I’ve heard of it. A proud elf could be treated like that!

But Serin couldn’t resist and just smiled and clashed.

Unaware of this, Lucia looked at Serin’s body, and then snapped her finger with an expression of understanding.

“ah. So you’re Cael’s pig?”

“······to?”

Why at all…?

A dark shadow shadowed Serin’s astonished face.

However, seeing her belly and thighs, Lucia nodded as if convinced.

“I thought he was too old for an elf, but it must have been Kael’s pet. I almost would have been scolded by Cael.”

“Ah, uh, uh…”

Serin couldn’t refute the words and only moaned in pain.

It’s been a long time since I’ve shattered any pride I have left as an elf.

After stroking her hair, she pointed to the breeding ground that Lucia had passed.

“If you get lost, you can go over there. They are all gathered over there.”

“·················ogue.”

Seeing Serin who barely nodded without a word, Lucia smiled with a happy smile.

“Yeah, you remember. Then see you next time, honey.”

So Lucia left and Serine was left alone.

For a long time, frozen in that position, she had a look of relief that she had lived and a look of dismay.

And eventually,

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

Seeing Serin smiling as if her soul had gone out, Kael also laughed out loud at the same time.

*

Lucia left, and a fairly grand festival was held at the village bar.

When I said that there would be no imperial invasion, the villagers took the joy out of drinking alcohol.

In particular, the village chief drank until his nose was crooked as much as he suffered. He was probably suffering from heartache even if he didn’t show it outwardly.

I am Serine and Aerith. The three of us were sitting at a round table drinking alcohol.

Of course, Aerith was sipping milk instead of alcohol by the side.

On the other hand, Serin was drinking and drooling, probably because there were a lot of sad things.

I turned my head away from her, who was shivering from the taste of alcohol just by looking at it.

“That’s fortunate. nothing happened.”

Aerith looked around and smiled softly and opened her mouth.

She also seemed relieved in the noisy and noisy atmosphere.

“Well, I didn’t tell the village chief about Lucia’s existence.”

“yes. That’s unavoidable.”

The demon king’s seal was released. It wasn’t enough, so I came to this village and enjoyed a leisurely walk.

I did not tell the village chief and the villagers about it.

Maybe it’s because it’s more terrifying and less realistic than saying that an empire is coming down.

Tell me what’s gone

Thinking about that, Aerith, who was responding to my words with a smile, suddenly put down her glass.

“By the way, Kael. You seem to have become quite close with the Demon King.”

“yes?”

“no. It’s fun to call you by name comfortably. After all, she was quite a beauty.”

“It’s not like that…”

“Do you think anything good happened between the two of you?”

Saying that, Aerith held out a glass full of alcohol to me.

Drink this and vomit it all.

Her smiling smile with raised eyes feels terrifying today.

No, before that, how did she know the Demon King’s name?

“Keep, black, I, what did I do wrong?”

At that moment, I heard the sound of someone sobbing next to me, drunk.

Serin was blowing her nose and nibbling on the food on the plate.

It seems that it was quite shocking to meet Lucia during the day.

“hey. Cry or eat or just do one thing.”

“I, I’m not fat.”

“Look at the conscience. you’re a pig whoever sees it.”

“Ka, Kael, even you…”

I didn’t say back, and concentrated on the drink again.

Aerith was busy stroking her hair to soothe her.

Did that bitch forget what she came to this town for? Why are you all of a sudden pretending to be pitiful?

Besides, seeing that he was quietly speaking again, it must have been that he had not yet come to his senses.

Serin gulped down the drink as if embarrassed.

After that, he poured the snacks on the plate into his mouth, and got up to refill it as if that wasn’t enough.

“Damn?”

As she staggered up, she bumped into Jack, a young man from the village, who was just passing by.

And when they looked at each other’s faces, Serin’s face, which was red from drunkenness, turned pale in an instant.

“you······.”

“Hey, hey!”

As Jack approached, Serin dropped the plate and hung it on my arm.

Then he began to tremble like a terrified pig.

“ha.”

This is a start again.

The eyes of some village youths were focused on Serin.

I beckoned to Jack again, looking at me, bowing his head, and returning to his seat.

momentary silence. Fortunately, the atmosphere in the tavern has been buzzing with alcohol again, as if it had ever been.

But she was still burying her face, not even thinking of falling away from me.

Serin was once full of self-esteem and confidence, but now she tries to stick to me with a panicked face even if I push her away.

After a while, the real Serin sighed and eventually got up from her seat.

“I want to go back…”

“okay. It’s a hundred times better to work while drinking.”

She gave me a devilish look at my words, but she sighed and left the tavern first.

Aerith, who watched the scene until the end, opened her mouth carefully.

“Mr. Serin. It’s been longer than I thought.”

“Personally, I wish I had been like that for the rest of my life.”

So you can’t have other thoughts.

Hearing my words, Aerith smiled an embarrassment.

“Still, it’s amazing. Other men get scared just passing by, but they stick to Kael.”

“Well, that’s right.”

I sip my drink and answered dryly.

To be honest, it didn’t matter to me what Serene was.

No matter what happens to him, it’s just that he’s lost one of the village’s precious labors with long-lasting batteries.

Or just a meat shield in case the empire invaded.

Five years ago, the woman who slapped me in the back of the head was just as valuable to me.

“Why?”

But Aerith is still curious.

I answered the question by pointing to her.

“There were a lot of things. The day Aerith saw it.”

“Is it? If that’s the case… Ah!”

After hearing my words, Aerith looked at me with a hopeful face.

As I quietly nodded, she avoided my gaze and fanned her face.

Then, seeing his face turn red, he must have remembered that day.

After Serine became a public good, she had a reason to come here, who still had pride enough to wear a dress even when working in the fields.

As I looked at Jack’s drunken back, I remembered the day when Serin had a phobia and her values changed.
