Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

I’ve been short of breath.

– Hero Kael, you’ve worked hard until now. Then it’s good to go now.

As soon as I uttered the word ‘comrade’, I heard a terrible hallucination from somewhere.

-Fufu, it’s finally abandoned. Kael.

The voices of those who betrayed me. It now clings to my ears like a ghost.

– Cael. How does it feel to be betrayed by your colleagues?

Why do these nightmares come to mind at this time?

– Kukkeuk. you thought i would be you stupid bastard

Without realizing it, strength entered the hand holding the sword.

“Lucia, answer me.”

Again, I urged the answer.

I hope that this relationship, my colleagues, and my beliefs are not all lies.

I looked at Lucia.

“…Cael.”

Finally, she bowed her head and muttered my name.

But he didn’t call me.

He seemed to be repeating something to himself.

“Cael… Kael… Yeah, that’s right, Kael.”

After saying my name a few times like that, Lucia immediately raised her head.

But her wet gaze pointed at the night sky, not me.

Countless stars were shining there.

“The reason I came here is that I followed you, Kael, who showed a ray of light in my life that day. To recover the sword and fight Kael once more, and to feel the heartbeat of that day.”

Lucia’s silver hair fluttered in the wind once.

Her eyes through her hair looked at me and smiled.

“Kael, another hero whose name might seal me. An enemy that must one day be defeated in order to revive the demons. Everyone told me so. But… it wasn’t. Now that name means everything to me.”

“…Lucia.”

“Hehe. Now that I listen to Kael, I understand. I didn’t come here expecting a fight with Kael. It’s just… Kael I’m here for you and Aerith. I liked you, so I just blindly followed you. Oh, of course, honey honey!”

Lucia wiggled her fingers and smirked.

“Because it’s good to be with you. I want to play together every day and always be together. From the time we were together in the village, my heart was already beating fast.”

“·················ogue.”

“So… I’m sorry, Kael. I can’t tell you what Kael is curious about right now. So, I can’t be Kael’s friend like this, can I?”

Having said that, Lucia smiled sadly.

It was the heart of Lucia that I had never heard of.

It was a completely different atmosphere than when he acted like a child every day.

Still, he didn’t seem to want to say anything more about Aerith.

But after those words, something got better, and I sighed.

“Hey, I’m the only bad guy.”

I took my hand off the sword and stood up.

There was something unfamiliar to her, and I was also sorry that I had tormented her.

As I sighed, Lucia pulled my collar and looked up at me.

“Woah, are you mad?”

“Well…”

Is there anything to be angry about?

In the first place, this is my personal revenge, and everyone has something they want to hide.

Above all else, those words have already said that I am more than a colleague.

After confirming that, there was no need to be sad or suspicious of what they were hiding.

I believe that no matter what that secret is, it won’t hurt me.

“Aww, you bastard. It leaves people speechless.”

“Yes?”

I stroked Lucia’s hair.

She purred as if she was in a good mood, even though she had an expression on her face that she didn’t understand English.

Yes, it was fortunate to be able to confirm her heart in a situation where a decisive battle was just around the corner.

Besides, the fight with him, which was one of the big problems, was no longer meaningful.

“Anyway, that’s fine.”

“yes? what?”

All of a sudden, Lucia is rubbing her cheek on my hand.

He seemed to be feeling better than usual.

“Actually, I have no idea where Lucia your sword is. But now that we don’t have to fight, that’s good, right?”

“······yes?”

“Well, that’s fine. In the first place, I had no intention of competing with you at all.”

“······what?”

At that time, Lucia’s head gradually turned 90 degrees after hearing my words.

uh, what Wasn’t it all forgiving?

Why are you suddenly waving your hands and calling me?

“Cael. Come closer for a second.”

“Oh, Lou, Lucia?

“Hehehe. come? Or shall I go?”

Lucia who smiles kindly and calls me.

With that smile, I ran away with all my might without looking back.

*

While we were talking with Lucia, the rain stopped at some point.

“Oh, it hurts…”

As I was going through the window, I heard a cry without realizing it.

Lucia, don’t you know how sharp your horns are?

Punished by her horns, I returned to the room stroking my arm.

“Is Serin still washing?”

Serin was nowhere to be seen in the room.

It’s fine.

We have some time left, so we should go to Aerith.

There’s still something for her to check-

“Lord, hey hey hey!!!!”

come and go-

At that moment, I heard a voice calling out from the hallway along with urgent footsteps.

uh, what is this I’m kind of anxious.

bang-

But without even having time to escape, Serin slammed the door and entered.

“Heh heh heh heh, lord, master. Where the hell have you been! You’ve been looking for a long time!”

“Serin, I’m sorry, but I’m busy, so I’ll come later-”

“Oh, this is not the time. It’s a big deal. big deal!”

Serin, who appeared loudly, rolled her feet and shouted.

no way······.

Seeing that impatient Serine, I swallowed my saliva.

Normally, it would be absurd, but the image of Aerith flashed through my mind right now.

“What’s up? What the hell is going on…”

“I don’t have time to explain! If you don’t go early, you may be late!!”

After saying that, Serin grabbed my wrist.

She led me down to the first floor of the inn.

So coming out of the back door of the inn, I arrived at the place where Serin showed the dress this morning.

“look at this! Is it a big deal!?”

Saying that, Serin points to the backyard with her finger.

Even looking at her like that, I couldn’t find anything to say.

hey there-

“Well? You don’t have anything?”

“What are you talking about! Take a good look again.”

“Hmm… Has anyone ever been in that bush?”

“Hey kid. what are you talking about No, the rain has stopped! elegy!”

“What?”

Serin said that and pointed to the sky, but she didn’t agree at all.

no, so what?

“…is that all?”

“yes. That’s all.”

“really?”

“yes.”

Hey Mr.

I almost would have been cursed without knowing it.

I’m still upset, but what is this elf talking about now?

But she continued to speak proudly, regardless of my gaze.

“Huh huh. How eagerly have I been waiting for this time since a while ago… hehehe!?”

kuk-kook-

When I couldn’t take it any longer and pressed Serin’s stomach, she struggled and screamed.

Yeah, I’m sorry you haven’t done it lately. didn’t you say

Then I would have done it without a wish.

Whoops-

“Ugh!? Whoops! Profit, uh, uh-huh!”

But he skillfully slipped out of my grasp with a grotesque spirit,

He desperately protected his ship with both arms.

“Come on, why are you doing this all of a sudden! I’m still sensitive because I ate a lot!”

“ha. What are you doing in this situation? I’m still worried about Aerith, are you making fun of me?”

But when she heard what I said, she panicked and made a face that didn’t know what to do.

“yes? Oh no. I didn’t mean to make fun of you. I just wanted to dance with my master, sniffly, so…”

Serin groaned as if it was unfair and let out a creaking sound.

Oh, come to think of it, I couldn’t dance at the venue earlier.

Maybe that was the reason why I kept staring at the window in my room.

“Huh.”

She cried louder as if she wanted to hear it in part.

Hey, look at me with a squint while pretending to wipe my tears.

I’m sorry, but Aerith took priority now.

“Hey.”

But as soon as I showed signs of going, she made the sound of a dog in the rain this time.

“················· honestly, because I also have a reason why I couldn’t dance.”

“done!”

As I sighed as if there was nothing I could do, she mourned and hurrahed.

And taking a step towards the center of the yard, Serin shyly held out her hand.

“Dance. we.”

No, but you’re wearing pajamas.

But before I could point it out, she grabbed my hand.

“Come on. master!”

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

because i like it like that

Let’s hang out for a while.

As I approached and took a pose, Serin grinned and smiled.

“Fufu, do you know that? It’s such an honor to dance with you, isn’t it?”

yes yes It is indeed an honor.

“Oh, by the way, I don’t know how to dance. Believe and follow.”

“Hehehe. Leave it to me!”

After saying that, Serin slowly took the steps.

Illuminated by the moonlight, they began to dance in the backyard where there was no one else.

At first, she danced slowly, taking care of me like that, and I followed her movements.

There was no music, there was no audience, and there was no president, but it didn’t matter.

Serin looked happy even when the rain splashed and her clothes got dirty.

After enjoying dancing for a while, she suddenly looked at me and smiled.

“Master, don’t worry too much.”

“What?”

“Because everything the master will do will work out well.”

“Hmm, I’m talking as if I’m very sure of something. Do you have any beliefs?”

“Sure. That’s right, I’m by your side, right?”

“Uh, what? Hearing those words, I suddenly lost my trust.”

“too bad!”

Serin inflated my cheeks and pressed my feet firmly.

“Ouch. It’s a joke, it’s a joke.”

“really! Are you going to play such a joke in this kind of atmosphere?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry.”

As I continued to apologize, she smiled softly as if she couldn’t help it.

“Besides, Aerith and Lucia also like their master. ah! Of course, I have nothing to say.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Hi-Hi. So don’t worry. Even if I give my all, I will help my master to get revenge.”

“Don’t walk. embarrassing.”

“Hehehe. I hate it.”

Saying playfully, Serin smiled brightly like a child.

As much as this moment, that smile looked cuter than anyone else under this moonlit night.
