Chapter 8
8 – Destroy. bandits.
***
The duke’s garden was indescribably beautiful.
Keira and Lucy sat in an outdoor chair and gazed at the colorful flowers for a long time.
It wasn’t a leisurely time.
Currently, Kiera was in recuperation, not recuperation.
It was time to regain the strength of the warrior.
“Kiera, don’t you want to eat pork belly that mutt used to make?”
“It was delicious. But I don’t want to find it and eat it.”
“okay?”
Lucy smiled at the distant landscape.
“I’ve been thinking about mutts from time to time these days. I wonder if I kicked him out for no reason, and I’m bored because I don’t have anyone to bully me these days. If I had known it would be like this, I would have kicked it out after going to my heart’s content.”
Kiera was straight.
“Why are you bringing up that person all of a sudden?”
“To be honest.”
Lucy paused for a moment before continuing.
“According to the judgment of Lucy-sama, a wise wizard, you have now lost your power. Isn’t that because of the floor? Even though I hate Maru on the outside, on the inside, I wonder if it was very heartbreaking for him to leave. Because of the psychological factor, the strength of the hero has been affected.”
“Kuk-ku.”
Keira shrugged her shoulders and laughed, then her laughter grew louder.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
After laughing out loud like a crazy bitch, he suddenly turned serious.
“Lucy. i say Certainly, until a minute ago, a person named Maru did not exist in my memory, no, in my life. But because of you, I remembered. Do you know what this word means?”
“I haven’t been thinking about anything since the mutt left… ”
“Why should I think of him? we broke up Then it’s over. It’s completely south-South now.”
“It’s because you’ve lost your power, and the only thing that’s changed in our lives is that the mutt has left.”
“It definitely has nothing to do with him. Rather, it was more harmful to have him around.”
Lucy laughed.
“You really hate him. I heard you took good care of me when I was sick in the past? Where did that grace go?”
“I don’t hate it. But that kid was all good. Our work can’t just be good. You have to be greedy. And I paid off everything I owed while living as a warrior. It would have been better if someone who was a commoner followed the hero, met various nobles, and enjoyed luxury beyond his status.”
“It cuts off mercilessly.”
“Are you merciless? I gave a lot of chances The kid couldn’t catch it. think you’ve done enough In fact, now that I think about it, I think I was a very lacking person. He was someone I could hang out with when I was poor. Tired of that, it continued for a long time and hurt each other. You should have broken up at the right time. It’s too late to break up now.”
“He put a lot of money into your expensive armor. If you were going to break up, don’t take the money.”
“It was a girlfriend, so it was natural for me to buy it. It was useless money anyway. Besides, I thanked you enough.”
“How?”
“It would be enough if I, the hero, slept with you.”
“I don’t think you guys have held hands in the past year.”
“Before that.”
“Miss Keira. You were here.”
Suddenly, a male voice was heard from afar.
“Even so, I wanted to see you.”
A tall handsome man with beautiful orange hair was approaching.
It was Joseph, the eldest son of the Duke of Toledo.
Kiera jumped up from her seat and greeted him with a small smile.
“I was on a short walk. What did you find me for?”
“I’m on my way out of a financial meeting that I just finished. Be happy.”
Yosef showed off his white dry teeth and gave a nice smile.
“We, the Duke of Toledo, have decided to support Kiera-nim’s activities for the next three years. And you said you wanted to change the horse you used to ride, right? We will prepare the best horse for you in a matter of days. Please look forward to it.”
“Oh!”
Kiera covered her mouth with both hands and tears welled up.
“thank you… ! Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.”
Yosef patted her on the back as she shed tears of joy, cheering her on for the future.
After the atmosphere had calmed down, Joseph spoke.
“Oh. Do you have time tonight? There’s a ball where only the sons of nobles gather, and I’d like to invite Kiera. Everyone will consider it an honor.”
Kiera smiled without a hint of worry.
“Finally, I had free time today, so that’s good. When are you planning to leave?”
The two quickly fell in love with talking about the evening ball.
Lucy, who was sitting next to him with her chin resting on her chin, pursed her lips.
‘Kiera also likes the stomach. I don’t think I’ll be able to do that even if I die.’
Suddenly, the floor came to mind.
she giggled.
‘Would our mutt be alive or rummaged? If Hanmaru had seen this situation, he would have been furious.’
***
The base of the thieves hundreds of kilometers away from it.
A middle-aged man in a robe was lying on the ground.
“Damn it… Buy, save me… ”
“I was only going to sell three generations, but since it’s a total, it’s a heat wave. It’s your responsibility.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the alchemist passed out.
Maru moved his steps after shaking his hands.
I saw half-naked women screaming and running out of a thatched-roof house.
“Is that it?”
As we approached the entrance, a huge muscle pig walked out just in time.
He was more than 2 meters tall, his head was bald, and his trapezius muscle in the neck was very thick and bloated.
More at readwn
Just looking at it, I could tell that this guy was the boss.
Maru stood face to face with him.
The man looking down with angry eyes opened his mouth.
“Are you the one who made my living quarters a mess?”
“uh.”
“This buddy-headed Shiki is going to die.”
He suddenly threw his hand and slapped him on the ear.
slap!
Maru’s head turned.
Maru put his head back and this time he slapped him.
slap!
The boss’s body flew like an arrow and crashed headlong into the building next door.
“Gagging! sir, fuck… !”
“Are you surprised that it hurts so much?”
If it was like the others, I would have passed out already, but maybe because he was the boss, he had a lot of toughness.
He hurriedly cleared the rubble, got up, and gritted his teeth.
Her face flushed red, and the crown of her head grew hot.
“I’ll cut you up and chew on your raw flesh!”
The boss started tossing whatever he could get his hands on.
Rocks, building debris, and people flew in randomly.
Maru took a backward step while avoiding cooking.
“I will come on my own.”
I left behind the futile guy and went into the boss’s house.
Then the boss hurriedly followed.
The moment I tried to go inside, Maru’s fist came out and hit me in the face.
“100 million… uhhhhh… .”
“Didn’t you know the requirements?”
“Chi… punishment… ”
The huge body collapsed on its back.
After sitting down on his stomach, Maru punched him a few times.
Then, as if he was outraged, his body suddenly began to change while swearing at him as bad as Padlip.
“Key profit… ! This self-profit! I won’t let you live!”
Several legs protruded from both sides like spiders, and the two legs became one and turned into a scorpion’s tail.
Maru was dumbfounded rather than embarrassed to see the guy who struggled under him hugging his body tightly with several legs.
“What are you? Was it a demon?”
“Keek!”
To think that the devil had infiltrated the bandits and ruled them.
After pulling out all the legs that restrained her body, Maru excitedly tore the five organs.
The boss monster was no match for Maru.
The difference in power was striking.
The boy was torn to pieces and died.
“I followed the warrior party for a long time, and when I saw the devil, I got angry and did something terrible… Occupational disease Occupational disease. A problem is a problem.”
It was a chilling floor saying that it was too cruel even after he did it.
“found.”
Found the Mirror of Truth in the boss’s house.
Maru wrapped it in a cloth and brought it out.
After that, I looked around the base of the thieves.
Everyone who wanted to run away ran away, and everywhere was burning.
“I can’t believe I did… ”
It was absurd that the porter, who had been neglected, robbed an entire group of bandits.
It’s not that much time has passed, and it’s been a while since I broke up with the warrior party.
“I don’t have to worry about earning a living in the future.”
He rubbed his nose and moved on.
I need to leave quickly with Prince Edward.
That was when I was thinking about it.
The watchtower, which had been burning, collapsed to the left out of nowhere and blocked the entrance to the cave prison.
“Edward!”
As Maru hurriedly tried to run away, he suddenly felt pain in his chest and collapsed.
“Ugh! What is this! something… Trying to come out!”
It hurt so badly that I wanted to scream.
I feel like my flesh is being ripped apart.
I don’t know what the cause was, but the feeling was certain.
I had an ominous feeling that if I opened something that was shaking inside, the world would be ruined, not just myself.
Maru endured like a tenacious.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
He stood up and ran forward.
I stopped in front of the prison with the entrance blocked.
The flames soared all over the ruins of the collapsed watchtower, and the inside of the cave could not be seen at all.
“Edward!”
When I called for the prince, fortunately, a voice came from the other side.
“Oh Maru! Aren’t you hurt?”
“Worry about you! Whoops!”
“Bah, what did that sound like! Are you hurt!?”
“Don’t breathe! Smoke in! Whoops, whoops!”
“If you get hurt, I’m fine! It’s dangerous, so check yourself first!”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Maru endured the pain and began to clear the burned debris.
“Cover your mouth with a wet cloth until you clean it up! Ugh!”
“If it’s hard, you can take a break! I am the prince of this country! I will never die until I ascend the throne! Even the flames evade me!”
cave prison.
Edward shouted brightly, but in fact he was in a state of desperation.
Black smoke enters your nostrils and makes it difficult to breathe.
“Cough, Cough!”
I think I will die of suffocation soon.
Even so, he was more concerned about Maru than himself.
“It looks tough, stop it! If it has accumulated this much, it will take a year to clear it out! I’d rather you escape safely. I’m a fool anyway, so no one will be happy if I live. On the contrary, everyone will like it.”
Edward, who had a premonition of death, muttered to himself with a bitter smile.
“You are the first person in my life who sincerely wants to help. What a blessing it is to be late… I think I can go in a good mood.”
he shouted loudly again.
“Don’t suffer for a useless human like me! Quickly leave before the remnants outside return!”
However, from beyond the rubble, the sound of Maru screaming as he was clearing something was heard.
“Why do you have such low self-esteem! Listen straight up! There is no lesser human being in the world! me too! you also! It’s just that our time to shine hasn’t come yet! It’s only later than the others, so survive, bastard!”
At that moment, numerous wreckage was lifted up and fresh air flowed into the prison, which was filled with acrid smoke.
Maru threw away the pile of burning debris.
Then, with a dry cloth over his mouth, he looked at Edward, who was sitting down, and smiled brightly.
“Look, you can live. Why are you giving up beforehand? Heck, heck… !”
“Floor!”
Edward shed tears of joy on the spot.
It was the first time he had ever seen someone who saved himself with his heart rather than money.
At the same time, while saying that he was respectable, that he was a hero, and that he was the best, he continued to procrastinate, so the worse Maru kicked his butt.
