15 – Each other’s warriors

“Sorry..It failed..”

In the woods not too far from town

A man with horns was bowing his head towards his marbles.

-It’s disastrous.

Flinch

A cold female voice flowed from her marbles and reprimanded the man.

-Attack plan using gates and monsters… That was the agenda you suggested to me.

“I’m sorry…! But I didn’t expect the warrior party guys to appear…”

-Stop it.

The woman took a moment to catch her breath before opening her mouth.

-Even if it wasn’t for them, the monsters were eventually blocked by a crappy cathedral and time was dragged on.

It looks like this even in the countryside, but I don’t think I can use it in the capital of the empire.

He continued by scolding the man.

-It will be slaughtered in the blink of an eye by the humans flocking around.

The damage you can do will be insignificant compared to the effort you put in.

It’s a shame to check before speaking in front of them..

“Then, stronger monsters this time…”

– Stupid.

“Sorry..!”

-Haa.. This is my subordinate..

“…”

– Cover.

“..Yes?”

-This agenda is no longer useful.

Above all, if the fact of failure goes into the ears of those of high rank, you and me are doomed.

The woman sighed and ordered.

-Erase the traces of our involvement and withdraw.

“..Yes.”

After those words, only silence lingered in the forest.

Having joined the warrior party, I was walking towards the next destination with them.

‘I never thought Sonia would come out like that at the end.’

It must have been very disappointing to hear that I was going.

Well, it must be a pity that the walking backpack is leaving.

Even now, the medicinal herbs in the mountains are still in my eyes.

‘Huh? This is a complete porter..’

I denied it even for the sake of my pride, saying that it couldn’t be.

I am remembering the curvature of the first woman I ever hugged.

Suddenly, a disturbance came from the side.

Slap

“Hee hee.”

“..Can you please move away from me?”

“Why do you like it?”

“It’s burdensome.”

Aren’t you leaving right now?

Don’t cover my few happy memories with that meager body

“It’s nice that the party is getting louder. Isn’t that right, a warrior?”

“Yeah. I didn’t know there would be porters.”

“How about having lunch here, warrior?”

Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like a picnic somewhere.

‘Is this a warrior’s party?’

Let Talia light a fire with her magic

Everyone put down their luggage and sat around in a circle.

“Whose turn is it for dinner today?”

“The last one was me, so today it’s Sister Reina.”

“I’ll bring you water, so wait here.”

“Oh, I’ll be back.”

“Brother is sitting and resting.”

‘Tsk. I can’t do it either.’

He doesn’t let me go easily because he has a criminal record.

While I was licking my tongue at the tight surveillance, the hero started talking to me.

“I’d like to know more about your abilities.”

“It’s my ability…”

How should I talk about this?

“It’s true that you can see the future, but

Not everything can be known.”

You should just hide it properly

“..Tell me in detail.”

“I can’t explain it clearly, but… Should I say I’m dreaming?

Things that will happen in the future come to mind from time to time.”

“Can’t you see the future you want?”

“hahahaha. It would be nice if that was the case.

In my experience, only important things suddenly come to mind.”

“..I see.”

The hero seemed a bit disappointed, as if the answer was not satisfactory.

“By the way, if you use that ability, you don’t have to join the bandits, right?”

“That’s because I can’t see my own future.

It’s not as convenient as you think, warrior.”

‘If that’s the case, would I be here right now?

I must have gone to a nice place and lived there.’

“Above all, if my abilities are known, a lot of attention will be drawn to them, for better or for worse.

You can live your whole life being used by someone.

I don’t want to live that kind of life.”

“Ah…”

Of course, living as a warrior party is a no-brainer

Did you notice?

Please do so

“Still, you will be of great help to us.”

“I don’t know what to do with you saying that.”

Read comprehension

Won’t you let me go like this?

When Raina returned just in time and approached her fire with her pot, interest arose.

‘What does an elf’s cuisine taste like?’

I’m looking forward to something vegetarian or fruit.

It wasn’t long before that turned into disappointment.

What they mainly eat is a roux made from flour and butter.

It was a soup made by adding shredded jerky, pouring water, and boiling it.

I let out a sigh when I saw the food that was seasoned with only salt and pepper.

‘I didn’t eat like this when I was in the thieves…’

At least the meat was grilled every day.

Why do I already miss the food Linda used to make?

But I can’t help it.

I have no choice but to put up with this much.

There was a time when I thought ..

Dinner was more shocking than lunch.

The amount was not small, but the food was made at such a level that swallowing it was a chore, so there was no food torture.

‘If you ate lunch like that, why are you adding fruit while talking about nutrition? Why?

Did he want to appeal that he’s an elf?’

I felt dizzy when I saw that various fruits were added to the soup I had for lunch as a base.

‘If this is the case, wouldn’t it be better to eat separately?’

As I watched the soup I received become colorful, I thought that it was not a good place to be.

I thought it would be food with the maniac values of the elves, but

I was dizzy seeing everyone eating casually.

In front of my eyes, I doubted whether they were the same people who ate the same food in the village a while ago.

Why is there a doppelganger or something like that?

“Hmm? Why is that? Is the amount small?”

More soup was put into my bowl as a sin of pondering for a while before her cooking.

“..I will eat well..”

“If it’s not enough, tell me as much as you like.”

I just teased the spoon, swallowing tears at the feast of unique flavors that flowed in my mouth.

So, on the 1st day of the warrior party, the time to change musical instruments for Ngane Newbie has passed.

When night fell, everyone was setting a night watch.

They said they would stand by themselves, so I told them to sleep comfortably

“Unlike you, I can’t even help you fight.

I have to help with something like this.”

He refused the consideration of the party members and took second place from behind.

Don’t be a party kid like us

Of course, I’m aiming for something else, but

One hour before sunrise, when people are most vulnerable.

“You won’t even know I’m gone because I was sleeping..”

I can’t even sleep because I’m already excited at the thought of running away.

No matter how you treat me, hanging out with them is

It’s the same as risking your life.

Waiting for the shift while checking the escape route I had noticed on the way back in my head

“Get up now. It’s your turn.”

“Umm… Is my order already here…”

I couldn’t leave out the method acting as if I had just woken up.

“Will it be okay from the first day? No one will say anything even if I don’t stand.”

“I am also a warrior party now.

Everyone else is doing it, but I can’t sleep comfortably.”

“What’s the matter? Saying all those wonderful things.”

“hahahaha, that’s too much praise.”

It’s really overrated

“Anyway, you’re having a hard time. If something happens, wake me up right away~”

With that said, she went inside the tent.

“Yes. Good night.”

When I was left alone, silence lingered.

“Now then…”

Let’s start

Against the backdrop of a burning bonfire, the porter’s secret plan was about to come true.

Excitement

‘How did this happen…!’

It was nice to have him in the party

For those of us who have to fight the demon lord, knowing the future is a huge advantage.

However, it never occurred to me that we would have to use the same tent.

‘Isn’t this also sleeping under the same roof?’

My face felt like it was about to explode at the stern thought.

‘Why am I like this…’

It was strange

Clearly, even before we broke up, he was just a man with good memories.

It should have been…

What can I say now?

After seeing his behavior recently, I couldn’t keep eye contact with him for long.

‘Obviously this feeling…’

When I was young, it was similar to the emotions I felt whenever I heard the story of the hero.

While tickling somewhere, I look at it before I know it.

‘…’

It is natural for the strong to help the weak.

I’ve lived like that all my life.

But what about the other way around?

Obviously, he couldn’t be called strong.

Except for the ability to see the future, it’s actually not even the average person.

Living while hiding even that, he must have been an obvious weakling to anyone.

But when I saw him save the village, my beliefs that I had kept until now were shaken.

Not too long ago, he himself felt what fear was like.

Wouldn’t it be scary?

If he hadn’t been a hero himself, could he have done the same under the same conditions?

It was not an easy decision to make.

But apart from that, I didn’t stop thinking about men.

The way he faces up without being swayed by fear

Because he resembles the hero he drew as a child.

‘..Come on, Durandal!

Relying on others while being a hero…’

Thinking about the future, it couldn’t be like this every day.

No matter how brave you are, you still have to sleep.

‘I have no choice but to reach the village by force..’

I’m on my nerves while calculating my schedule.

Talia woke the man up and heard the shift.

‘Yes… I should go to sleep now.’

Unfortunately, I closed my eyes.

How long has it been?

I felt someone grab me and shake me.

“Heroes, it’s a big deal. Wake up!”

“Sir…! What’s going on!”

When I hurriedly came out, everyone was making faces of bewilderment.

“Hero..”

Polaris tried to say something, but he couldn’t hear it.

“Porter, where did you go…?”

The man I cared about all night disappeared.

The plan was successful.

The fact that the chase has not caught up until now is proof of that.

But I couldn’t be relieved.

‘You’ve probably figured out that I’m gone by now.’

A situation where you don’t know when they will come after you again.

The opponent is a warrior party.

‘I have to run as far away as possible.’

After running for a while, I came across a swampy area.

Normally, I would have found a safe way back, but

Even if it is dangerous, it is not an option but a necessity now that you have to keep your distance.

I stepped on the safest place and moved on.

“You never dreamed I would cross this road.”

The time when I was thinking like that

“Whoa!”

Quadang

“What the hell…”

Let’s lift our heads as we remove the dirt and branches from our faces.

– Uh uh uh

I saw a ghoul clutching my ankles with rotting hands.

“aaa!!”

I was freed by swinging my legs wildly, and I immediately got up and ran away.

‘A dog game really..!’

Even though it is a world where ghouls appear naturally in swamps,

I was stunned by the reality of facing monsters if I was a little careless.

I just looked straight ahead and ran.

Fortunately, the ghoul was too slow, perhaps because of its rotting body.

You should be able to open the distance easily.

However, the cost of forgetting the fact that we are now in a swamp came back greatly.

Iron puck

The ground rushed towards me with the feeling of my feet sinking under me.

‘Huh..?’

Let’s look down in a daze at the feeling of pressure and getting wet on our legs.

I noticed that both legs were stuck in the ground.

“Please..Don’t do anything wrong..!”

I tried hard to move my leg, which was less embedded, but the more I tried, the deeper it went.

In the end, even the remaining leg was buried.

“Ah..No..!”

When I came to my senses, I saw my body sunken to the waist and fell into a panic.

– Uh uh uh

A group of ghouls approaching with a foul smell around them.

“I’m just being quiet, but I came out for no reason..”

I closed my eyes, regretting my past decision.

‘I’m dying here.’

Just before the ghoul’s tainted fingernails ripped through my skin.

-Greuk!

Along with the ghoul’s brief death, the sound of something falling was heard.

‘Am I still alive…?’

With that thought in mind, I carefully opened my eyes.

There was a warrior looking at me over the bodies of the fallen ghouls.

I think I know why this person is called a warrior

“…”

“…”

What should I say in this situation?

“Thank you.”

“…”

The warrior walked up to me without saying anything.

As soon as I saw that, I pictured the hero getting angry with me.

‘If I had that personality, I’d be very angry…

Wouldn’t it be the most angry thing to leave your seat during the night shift?

You put the party in danger.’

I was thinking like that, but from the hero

A completely unexpected answer came back.

“Are you not hurt anywhere?”

“Yes? Ah yes..Thanks..”

The warrior turns around with a sigh

“..There are many things to hear when I go back.”

I was ashamed of myself to see such a hero.

‘I’d rather be angry…’

The last face I saw

Because I was genuinely glad that I wasn’t hurt.
