chapter 4
4 – Disappointment in the hero is growing…
While I was taking Lulu out of the bar, even at this moment, one thought dominated my head.
That was the thought of not wanting to save E9.
Think about it, the childhood friend who dumped me is going to save me like Hogu because he is pretty…
If I had to choose the person in the world who would hate to save E9, it would probably be me.
Even at this moment, the thought of not just saving it is running through my head countless times.
But in the end you have to save it. A distinction must be made between public and private life.
No matter how much you hate to save Enine, Carraine is an area that must be defended unconditionally from a human standpoint.
I’ve said it over and over again, but it’s a very important military strategic point, and if it’s taken away, it’s obvious that the human country will turn into a real mess.
I just came out of the warrior party, but the demons will destroy the humans?
I really can’t let that happen.
Hyo.
“Lulu. Come here for a second.”
But… Come to think of it, isn’t it all Lulu’s fault?
“Yes! Dogram, I am here as you said.”
Ruru came out like this without any countermeasures, so I have to save E9 needlessly.
Are you being nasty for nothing?
Bean!
“Ugh… Dogram… Why are you hitting me…”
I fed him one honey chestnut to vent his anger.
This b*tch is really the root of all evil.
“Because I hate it.”
This doesn’t completely relieve my temper, but I should be punished for making me suffer.
“Ooh…”
Lulu swallows her tears and grabs her head.
I hope you reflect enough.
“Go as fast as you can. I’ll be there in three hours, right?”
And now we had to start slowly.
I held Lulu’s hand and said. The reason for holding her hand is to share her teleportation magic.
The distance from the original city of Arcana to the city of Carraine takes three full days.
However, if we use Sage Lulu’s teleportation magic, we can arrive at Karalane in less than three hours.
“No. It will take half a day.”
But Lulu shook her head and denied my words. It seems I can’t do that now.
“Can’t you go faster in the first place?”
I expressed my doubts. Obviously, the performance of Lulu’s teleportation magic, which has the title of a wise man, would not be that good.
I, who have been together in the warrior party for a long time, have no choice but to know about Lulu well.
“That’s true. I’m running out of mana now.”
You used up all your mana?
But why not? It seems that Lulu has exhausted her magic power.
“Why…?”
But do you need to use magic?
“Dogram is looking for you. I’ve used up all my magic!!!”
Now I’m starting to understand everything.
Well, the reason why Lulu is here in the first place is that she teleported from Carraine to Arcana.
Then there was no way there would be any mana left. So, you have to wait for half a day. Until Lulu’s mana is full.
“Hmm… Lulu, I have a question.”
“Huh?”
“Do you think E9 can last for half a day?”
But doesn’t that mean that I have no choice but to protect her carraine by myself for about half a day?
Until we arrive, half a day, short if short, long if long, will E9 be able to keep it alone?
For some reason, I started to worry. So I asked Lulu, but…
“Tell me honestly?”
“Uh. Be honest.”
“I can’t stand it…!”
The answer was negative.
A while ago, you said you would believe me…!
“Me too… I think so.”
But I don’t believe it either.

South Gate of Carraine.
Jeffrey is an ordinary soldier guarding the place.
That’s why he couldn’t understand the current situation.
“Such nonsense…”
Jeffrey, who has been a soldier for three years, knows that war is always frantic.
However, today was completely different.
It is not that this situation is insane, it is that right before hell unfolds, there was no quarrel.
“In this situation, where the hell is the hero?”
Originally, the South Gate is famous for being a very honey working area in Carraine.
It’s because the warriors’ party kills all the demon army’s troops even if the soldiers don’t do anything.
Originally, soldiers were admiring watching such a warrior party.
“They all look like they’re going to die…”
Jeffrey was assigned to such a honey duty area a while ago.
Until then, he considered himself lucky. But now he thinks he is the most unlucky man in the world.
Now, the southern gate was on the verge of being destroyed. Outside the gates, a large number of the Demon King’s forces were gathered.
“Honey… Please live…”
The members of the warrior party who would block those troops were nowhere to be seen.
If the castle gates were destroyed and the forces of the Demon King’s Army entered the Garrarain, they would all be dead.
Jeffrey didn’t want to die. Here in Garerlane, he has a wife and children. But he had no more options.
“Ahh…!”
A few orc soldiers began to enter Garrarain through a crack in the broken gate.
All the Orc soldiers look powerful. Seeing such monsters, Jeffrey mustered up his last courage and began to fight back.
“Haaap…!”
Geoffrey raised his iron sword high and charged the orc soldier.
“Kuh…”
The blow he was prepared for was desperate, but it was not enough.
His iron sword could not pierce the orc soldier’s armor. So the iron sword flies,
The orc soldier started glaring at Jeffrey.
Jeffrey had a hunch. Now he’s on the brink of dying.
“Dragon… The hero has arrived…!”
Just as he was about to give up everything, he saw a ray of hope.
I could immediately recognize Geoffrey, a blond-haired girl in brilliant armor, who worked at the southern gate. She was the hero, Enine.
Seeing E9’s appearance, Jeffrey was convinced that he could live.
“But… Why are you shivering?”
But… The hero did not fight after blocking the first attack.
And the sight of her confronting the orc soldiers was trembling.
“Hero…?”
Jeffrey was puzzled. Clearly, the hero in front of her is the hero she knew.
Her ornate armor and shining sword prove that she is her champion.
However, she couldn’t believe that she was a hero.
“Hero… Please come back… Please…”
Yeah… I couldn’t believe that a hero would run away without saving people.

Finally, after half a day, Lulu and I arrived at Gara Lane.
“That’s a real piece of sh*t…”
And when I arrived at Gara Lane, looking at the current situation, I could only whisper.
Currently, Garraine’s situation was truly dire.
The other eastern, western, and northern gates are still intact, but the southern gate was literally on the verge of being destroyed.
“Kleur…”
And since there was a crack in the gate, 10 orc soldiers had already entered the castle and were fighting the guards.
In the process of the battle, the figures of the dead guards were also seen.
“Luru. You support the castle gate right now. I’ll be solving the demon lord’s army in the castle.”
However, it has not yet reached a very serious situation. Besides, I don’t know if I’m alone, but even the sage Lulu exists next to me. If you are in this situation, you can solve it somehow.
“Yes…!”
Listening to my order, Lulu hurriedly started flying towards the gate.
Then I chanted an incantation and started fixing the castle gate.
Since she started to step out, there must be no problem on the side of the castle gate.
“Uhhh… Help me.”
So I left the gate to Lulu, and I had to kill the orc soldiers who broke into the gate before there were more casualties.
Sereung.
First of all, one guy in front of me, then two guys next to him, and three guys trying to wield a blunt weapon behind me.
After cutting down each one like that, until the last one. It didn’t take very long.
I don’t like the fact that it’s called a second name, but even looking at it like this, the body that is called the speedy swordsman, these kind of miscellaneous things don’t really matter.
“After…”
Once you’ve eliminated all the Orc soldiers in the castle.
Looking at the gate, it seemed that Lulu was restoring the gate.
First of all, the fire was put out in a hurry. I have now relaxed my shoulders.
“Are you okay there?”
And I reached out to the wounded soldier lying down beside me.
“You are Dogram-sama…”
The soldier noticed me.
“It’s Jeffrey. I’m so glad you’re alive.”
I know this guard very well. His name is Geoffrey, he was a guard who boasted to me that his wife was pretty, and he was a guard who told me a lot of funny stories, so I had no choice but to know him well.
“I’m glad you didn’t get seriously hurt.”
I looked at Jeffrey’s body, but fortunately there were only light contusions, and it seemed that his life was not greatly affected.
“Huh… Mr. Dogram… I thought we might have been abandoned.”
Seeing me, Jeffrey hugged me and started sobbing.
Well, it was just a moment before I was about to die, but my heart understands it to some extent.
At times like this, I had to be courageous.
“What do you mean? Someone abandons you guys.”
But what does it mean to be abandoned?
“But… hehehe… The hero…”
But… A warrior? Are you talking about enain?
Somehow an ominous thought passed through me.
“Tell me in detail.”
No way… No way. I asked Jeffrey.
In his next words…
“The hero… Ran away.”
I soon heard shocking words.
