Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

“Come on then…”

Now what do you do with this bastard?

I thought as I looked at Nike under my feet.

“Cael, it doesn’t matter if you kill me. yes?”

“master. cut it off Cut it off!”

“·················ogue.”

For now, aside from the opinions of Hikikomori and Mojil.

I have no intention of harming the hero openly in such an open place.

I don’t really have a grudge against him like Aurelia or Lowe. I don’t have a hobby of harassing weak people for no reason.

Besides, you can’t just kill it just because it’s not cheap.

“Why, why are you here? Then what the hell is that driver…”

Meanwhile, Nike was still confused and kept repeating the same words.

Fear fell on his face as he alternated between Lucia and me.

knowing her face, it looks like she had participated in the last war, so why is this guy okay with no injuries?

I’ve heard that Lucia made every single one of them incapable of combat. Besides, coming out of that forest in this way didn’t match.

I scratched the nape of my neck as I watched him look like a slum rat.

“Hey, these garbage…!”

At that moment, Nike, who had been trembling with fear until just a moment ago, suddenly spoke out in indignation.

No, to be precise, it feels like I’m only doing evil with my humble pride on a terrified subject.

Anyway, I watched him silently.

“My, are you doing this to know who I am!”

“Oh, it’s Nike.”

“Yeah, yes! If I, the hero, touch this body of the Hubris family that supports one axis of the empire, do you think you will be safe!?”

“Oh, what did you say? You don’t really think that would work in this situation, do you?”

The Demon King is right in front of you.

“Wow, whoops!”

knowing that it was a threat without any other options, Nike quickly bit her lip and bowed her head.

Yes, what kind of resistance would be meaningful when that nuclear bomb is in front of you?

It’s a pity that he’s trying to live his life somehow, but we have to make sure we’re counting.

“We’re busy, so let’s just get a few hits from them and finish it. Well, I’m not going to die.”

······maybe.

I can’t say for sure, seeing Lucia stretching out to win, and Serin vowing to get revenge.

Still, it’d be better to be beaten now. If we meet later on the battlefield, there is no guarantee that we will be saved.

I turned around and looked down at him with eyes full of regret.

‘I’m sorry.’

Originally, I was going to make him a coachman. I sighed as I looked at the rest of the road.

Well, the real hero Nikeni can’t help it.

‘It would be good to take it with you and draw attention….’

·······No, wait a minute?

Hopefully it can be put to good use.

“Yamma, are you…”

“Come on, wait a minute. Don’t go, listen to me more!”

But then, Nike stopped me, grabbed my crotch and screamed desperately.

“If you let me go, I will tell my father and make you my exclusive coach. I swear to my family. So push those two guys back. Right Now!”

Is consolation after intimidation?

The Count’s exclusive coach. If I were a real driver, it might have been a pretty good offer.

But, no matter how much you panic, it’s a stupid statement.

There’s no way the driver who goes with the Demon King is an ordinary guy.

He must say something and watch his life come and go in front of his eyes.

“I bet on my honor. So come on…”

However, Nike did not give up and did not stop speaking in a trembling voice.

At this point, it’s pitiful and it’s easy to overlook, but there’s something I was going to do to Serin.

First of all, you bastard, you’re short on orders until the end.

I squatted down, eye level with him, and tried to give him some advice.

“Yumma. You are there…”

“Cael. I guess he doesn’t have any regrets about his life. Do you keep begging me to kill you?”

“master. master. I think it would be better to cut off the tongue first than the arms.”

This time, Serin, who was sitting in the carriage from behind, and kicking feet, and Lucia, who whispered into my ear, stopped me.

No, these guys. Let me talk too.

Moreover, thanks to the two men’s murderous words, Nike was terrified and screamed.

“Ugh, ahhh!? Ha, don’t!”

Then he took a step back and started running away, crawling on all fours.

“Ahhh! Come on, save people!! Somebody, somebody save me!!”

Nike turned her back and looked pathetic.

I looked at Lucia and pointed to him.

“Lucia. Get him.”

It’s time to write it down.

“yes!”

Hearing my words, she jumped out in an instant and grabbed Nike’s ankle as she was running away.

Then he dragged him back, grabbing his ankles.

“Say, live, don’t do it. I’ll give you everything you ask, so please don’t do it!”

It was Nike, begging and chattering all the time.

The three of us giggled around him without saying a word.

*

The time when the sun sets and the early moon rises. A light darkness began to fall across the empire.

The gates of the imperial capital, which should have been tightly closed in peacetime, were crowded with nobles and merchants.

They were driving their wagons and slaves out of the capital with their bags packed.

And Dimitri’s soldiers were watching them with dismayed expressions.

‘For such things, you have been fighting with your life until now.’

One of them, Shizu, showed that emotion in particular.

Those who get out before anyone else on the news that the Demon King is coming and there will be a conscription.

Most of the merchants are foreigners or people with a separate hometown, but they were not nobles.

They were people who had been playing and eating in this capital for the rest of their lives, and they had abandoned their duties as nobles and citizens of the Empire.

And when this war is over, I’ll come back with a nonchalant face.

The soldiers, who knew their sullen and cowardly nature, pointed their fingers at the fleeing nobles and whispered.

And Shizu flinched at the backstory and bit her teeth tightly.

‘no. I’m different from them.’

Shizu shook her head and looked away from the procession of nobles.

And he waited for Kael to come to carry out the mission Dimitri had given him.

“Hey. What should I do? Sis. This day has finally come!”

But she was distracted by Maria, who was right next to her and was in the same position as her.

She covered her face with both hands and couldn’t hide her excitement.

“Isn’t it a dream? The day will come when I will see the real thing of the hero Kael with my own eyes!”

“ha. ok so calm down number of animals.”

“How am I dressed today? Trying to be too watery Oh, did your makeup get smudged or your hair didn’t come off?”

I don’t know. what do you know

Shizu sighed and tried to calm her down, but Maria was already lost in her world.

She was rummaging through her bag to make sure she had her archival artifacts and paper and pen in her bag.

ha. I had to put those personal feelings aside and focus on my mission.

However, besides her, there were several soldiers waiting for Cael for the same reason.

“To be peaceful.”

Do they still have no idea what’s going to happen soon?

There will certainly be a revolution unprecedented in the history of the Empire.

And at the forefront of that are Prince Dimitri and the hero Kael. Two people will be standing.

Therefore, it is necessary to be even more careful about the person called Kael, when Shizu was concentrating on his vigilance thinking that way.

“Is it that carriage?”

Just then, a wagon was approaching this way from afar.

At Shizu’s one word, all the soldiers’ eyes were focused on the carriage.

Since many went out and few came in, the wagon was particularly conspicuous.

“······Yes?”

But something was strange.

Isn’t the attention of the nobles, who were busy escaping without paying attention to the surroundings, was focused on the carriage.

Some even looked at the driver and talked to him.

At that time, there were no nobles who interacted with the hero Kael, and since it was Shizu who was reported like that, the situation was just curious.

However, there would be no way for nobles to talk to a horseman like that first.

Perhaps she wasn’t the only one who felt the strange thing, so the other soldiers also tilted their heads.

“Something suspicious.”

Saying that, Shizu and other soldiers watched with anxious faces.

And when the carriage finally arrived in front of the gate, all the doubts could be resolved.

“…the hero Nike?”

Seeing the driver, his name came out of Shizu’s mouth.

Then, nobles and soldiers alike began to flock around the carriage.

As the crowd gathered, Nike, who had driven the carriage all the way here, waved her hand with a gloomy face.

It was a signal to turn off and open the door, but the soldiers could not get over this situation.

“Hey, warrior. Where have you been? No, before that, why is the hero driving the carriage?”

“Besides, that figure is……….”

The soldiers did not hide their surprise as they each looked at him.

Nike disappeared in the final battle with the Demon King. Isn’t he wearing rags and pretending to be a driver?

There were even bright blue bruises here and there, showing signs of beating.

Neither the soldiers nor Shizu could understand the situation in front of them.

I was waiting for Cael, but to know that a person who lives in an awkward way, like Nike, and a person who lives in the past is shrugging his shoulders like that.

“Damn….”

Nike can’t stand it and spit out cursing.

Seeing his crying face, Shizu wondered who were in that wagon.
