There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

Chapter 205

205 – Why are you so capable?

“Are you trying to create a conflict with the kings?”

“Well, you could say it’s roughly similar.”

When Aria asked, I nodded in affirmation.

Originally, at this point, due to the aftermath of the disappearance of the World Tree, demonic energy should have covered the entire continent.

This is the time when monsters born from the overflowing demonic energy begin to wreak havoc in various places and subjugation quests are unlocked in earnest.

If you complete any of them, the Western Kingdom Alliance will appear as an enemy along with a message that the capital has been attacked.

A health bar appears on the walls surrounding the capital, leading to a water fortress battle. As failure would result in the empire’s destruction, it was also the only quest that supported checkpoints.

‘If the movement route was wrong, the castle wall would collapse and there would be no chaos.’

I also had the experience of initially striking down everything I saw, then hearing that the wall on the other side was breached, so I quickly went to stop it, only to be sent back to the starting point with the message that the area I had just been in was breached.

Fortunately, we no longer have to worry about the durability of walls like Kukdas, but everything from start to finish was unknown.

As a result of twisting the story, we are now in the position of attacking from this side.

“Do you think that makes sense now?”

Maybe my suggestion wasn’t that sweet? Aria gave me a very disapproving look.

“It is clear that they are foolish enough to rebel against the Empire, but they are not stupid and there is no way they would not notice our intentions from the other side.”

Aria points out the loopholes in my plan, saying that even if I were a fool, my close associates would definitely stop me.

“Well, you’re right.”

“It’s good that you know. So, it’s better to look for another way here…”

“But they’re not that close of a relationship.”

“What…?”

Originally, when a team of 5 people gathers, there is always a troll.

More than anything, they are now working together with the same goal, but in the past, they used to fight among themselves.

Ji is the king in his own country, but the existence of another king may not be viewed very favorably.

‘Moreover, one of the six kings who invaded the capital had other thoughts.’

During the battle, there was a king who would retreat without a fight just by looking at a few chat windows. The reason I brought this up is also him.

“We should start by coaxing just one person.”

It’s difficult to become friends, but it’s also very easy to fight with each other.

“Still, if we make a mistake, isn’t there a possibility that our plan will be exposed? Besides, the warrior party is a group that is closely watched in each country. Do you think they will let down their guard that easily?”

Aria persistently stumbles and falls, perhaps because she hasn’t seen my performance in person.

It’s good to be cautious, but isn’t that too negative? When other kids tell me to do this, they follow suit and say yes.

This is where it becomes apparent that you have never had a social life.

The manager said he would like to have some beef stew for lunch, but he is not a new employee on day 1 who confronts him and says he craves beef stew.

“Oh, don’t worry about that. I’m not a good face.”

“No, that’s not what I meant….”

When I told her that I would personally take action in response to her frustration, she was embarrassed but did not back down from her claims. But…

“I even convinced Your Majesty, who said he would cut off my head, in that way?”

“….”

When I brought up Zg’s dad, who used to be hot, he became noticeably quiet.

“…Then what do you plan to do with the rest?”

A warrior leaves the sunken Aria behind and asks about the remaining kings.

“We have to think about it gradually. By the way, how long will it take to arrive?”

“If you move quickly, you can arrive within two days…”

The hero’s gaze trailed off, but stopped in front of Sonia for a moment.

Well, Sonia is carrying a lot of luggage, so I can’t speed up her pace for a long time.

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

If this is going to happen, I looked at her with a lot of emotion, wondering why she even became a porter and chased after me, but she seemed to have been stabbed and ended up tripping over me for no reason.

“No, it’s just. I’m not saying I’m going at a crawl speed because I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time.”

When those words came out of her mouth, not from anyone else’s, she couldn’t hold it back and opened her mouth.

“No problem at all!”

***

How long has it been since we really got up to speed with her rants?

“Haa… Haa…”

Although it was clearly fall, hazy steam was constantly rising through the armor Sonia wore.

“Stop for a moment.”

When the warrior gave the signal, Sonia, who followed better than expected but was worse than expected, immediately let out her rasping breath.

“Now.”

I took her water bag out of her backpack and held it out to her.

-Giggle.

She opened her mouth, staring at her pockets, which were rapidly getting thinner.

“Then why do you say things that don’t work…”

“Puha! More than that, why are you so fine?!”

She seemed to not believe that I was naturally matching the tempo with the warrior party, but instead of drinking water, she screamed.

That’s right, I’m still alive today because I’m hanging out with these guys.

A man who is ready to run to a safe place at any time. That’s me.

“I think we’ll arrive in about a day, so let’s call it a day and leave tomorrow.”

The warrior seemed to have decided that Sonia could no longer move, and expressed his opinion. We settled down in a quiet place a little bit away from the road.

This place, where the grass that grew up so high in the sky during the summer, turned into a brown open space in the fall, seemed like a perfect place to stay for a day as there was no need to lay anything on the ground.

“It was comfortable and nice to stay at the mansion.”

“That’s exactly what I said.”

“Can an elf who loves nature say that?”

Party members chatting while unfolding the tents they each brought with them.

Sonia, who set up the tent faster than anyone else, probably because she was working hard next to her, looked back at me with her proud face.

“Why?”

“….”

Sonia’s expression distorted again when she saw me hanging socks on the perfectly laid out tent.

No matter how much she is the ace of the knights, for me, who has long since graduated from the army, the speed is not even close to her toes.

Is the skill of the supply officer who inspected 108 tents alone ahead of guerrilla training funny?

After each tent was completed, we decided to prepare dinner.

Because they had to fetch water before it got dark, Raina volunteered and said she would search for it with her spirit.

“There are so many people, why does it have to be me!”

“Of all these people, you are the most anxious.”

In the process, an unfortunate incident occurred where Thalia was dragged away.

Thanks to the fire being lit right before she was taken away, the people who had nothing else to do went inside the tent.

At that time, I was about to go in to catch some sleep.

-Cheolkeng.

She heard the sound of metal clashing somewhere and turned her head to see Sonia taking off her armor alone.

The tights exposed through the half-naked armor were soaked with sweat and became even darker than before departure.

“Huh…”

Her hands began to gradually become busier, as if her heated body was cooling down.

‘You know what that feeling is.’

Not long after I enlisted, it was a winter day when the snow was falling heavily.

There was a time when the CCTV in the ammunition depot was broken, so he was urgently put on guard duty.

When the shift was over, the senior changed his clothes in an instant as if he was taking off his skin and went in to pour some ramen, and the memory of that day when I was still tying the frozen laces of my combat boots came back to me clearly.

“….”

Did he feel a sense of sympathy from her appearance?

I took off her shoes and put them back on her and walked up to her.

***

-Clap, clap, clap.

Sonia, who was taking off her armor, was not happy with the current situation.

‘What is this…? . I thought I couldn’t do anything alone….’

At the warrior party, Sonia came in with the idea that she would comfort Ian, who was going through a lot of difficulties.

But he was surprisingly capable, and he was rather confused by the reality that he felt like a burden.

‘He was clearly a weak guy, but why…? .’

In particular, the relaxed attitude of coming next to him and offering to listen for him even though it was difficult to keep up.

“Profit! Why doesn’t this come off again?”

-Tap!

Sonia’s body began to tilt sharply as she pounded her heels on the ground, irritated by the gaiters on her legs that were not coming off.

“Huh? Uh…?”

The moment when her body tilted.

-Suddenly.

Contrary to her expectations that she would definitely hit the ground, something solid wrapped around her.

“So be careful.”

Ian put his hand between her armpits and helped her to her feet.

“Ah, thank you….”

Sigh.

Before I could express my gratitude, Ian placed her foot on my thigh.

“Hey…! You’ve got dirt all over your clothes!”

“It doesn’t really matter because it gets dirty on the way home anyway. And if you leave it clean in a place like this, it’s still there. It’s cold, so I guess I’ll take it off quickly.”

Sonia, who was momentarily speechless at Ian’s actions, opened her mouth.

“…Are you usually like this to others too?”

“What?”

“…It’s nothing.”

After a half-hearted look, she began to carefully remove her gaiters, feeling grateful beyond words.

Thanks to that, Ian quickly took off her armor and even helped her grease it to prevent rust before she was able to stand up.

“Then, I’ll call you later when dinner is ready, so come out on time.”

I was about to shake off my pants and turn around as if nothing had happened.

Stop.

He stopped dead in his tracks when she felt her hand pulling him from behind.

Let’s look behind her and see there.

“….”
