Who is the hero (1)

There was no need to rush.

Contaminated beasts and very few low-level monsters have been eliminated over and over again.

At a certain moment, surrounding creatures started to run away first, which was enough to confuse the fireworm’s senses.

<But don’t be careless. Even if he went north again, there’s a high chance he’ll mobilize lesser monsters to search the area.>

The parrot’s personal opinion is also correct.

There is no need to rush, but there is no need to negotiate leisurely.

Therefore, naturally, the tone is sharp.

The reason is that the beings with whom they communicated so far were far from the decision makers.

“It’s not such an unfair question. There are dozens of vagrants coming and going from the village, so the rumors are familiar-”

“You are not the village chief.”

“… what are you talking about.”

“Your tongue is long.”

For a while, there was silence over the short remark.

A menacing tone flowed through a crack in the stone wall.

“… Cheeky bastard, it’s you guys who regret it, not us!”

Soon, as if to give him strength, stone fragments are pushed out from the walls of other houses, and arrowheads are visible.

It was clumsy.

Enough to make me laugh out loud.

“If you buy two antibiotics, you buy three. Five women, two children for free if you speak well. But are we the only ones who regret it?”

“that’s-“

“Please answer carefully from now on. I’m not trying to trade because you’re a threat. I’m sure you know the proverb about uninvited guests.”

“… … .”

Then belatedly, there is a commotion in the stone house.

I could hardly hear a voice, but it was clear that the door frame creaked on the other side.

“… Hey, would you mind if I leave?”

“till now.”

Right after the sound of the voice flew in, an old man stepped into the light.

chin, chin.

He was holding a cane with his right hand, as if his movement was inconvenient, and with his left hand he hid the light that irritated his eyes.

“I’m not feeling well, so I came out now. If you were offended, I will apologize again and again.”

Had he never seen such strong lighting in the middle of the night, the old man looked at the ground and said hello.

yes.

It was a greeting, not an apology.

A bent waist, a body that was smaller than mine, and the left side of the face completely melted. It is to use one’s own appearance to go through the final confirmation.

Is it something that is difficult to peel off?

The answer is fixed.

“I have no personal feelings. I’m here to make a deal, and you just have to make the decision.”

“… Let’s come up with a very difficult problem.”

“it is not diffcult.”

“It’s difficult for the country folk. What if a monster comes after you? It is impossible to leave and leave.”

“No, it is not difficult.”

“… … .”

I understand.

They suddenly came in and demanded a deal, so from the point of view of the residents, it would feel like a robbery.

However, in reality, it was beneficial to both of them when they removed their fears.

“The monster chasing is a secondary issue. Just because we leave like this, we won’t avoid the village. So, there are only three benefits left.”

“… Two will be antibiotics and saline, what is the other?”

“protect. While I’m taking a break, I’ll help you defend the village.”

“Are you able to afford it?”

“… … .”

At the hesitant question, I silently frowned.

The village chief recognized the silence and apologized for being rude, but he wasn’t offended by the measured remark.

I don’t want to use this ability, so how can I prove it?

There was one very embarrassing way.

“… I am a hero belonging to the HT group.”

When I walk out in front of the light and point to the logo engraved on my chest, surprise spreads across the other person’s face.

“Heh, you are younger than I thought.”

“… … .”

I didn’t bother responding to useless topics.

No matter how I reacted, it was of no use.

“What if I refuse?”

“You have to do as you say. The currency of uninvited guests is-”

“… It is violence. I am well aware. Well, I don’t have a choice anyway. As the boy hero said, it is not a difficult decision.”

Eventually, the village chief raises his right hand to signal.

As a result, the flesh flowing through the stone walls was disturbed, and a man who seemed to be a family member walked out with a firm expression.

“Go and look around the warehouse. It seems to be enough for 12 people. If possible, choose clean ones… … . You can put it in a resting place.”

“… father.”

“I have already made my decision. Needless to say.”

Opinions seem divided, so I add a small comment.

“The barter will be done right in front of your eyes. bring it out.”

“… … .”

Outside the barrier, both his small size and young age are his weaknesses.

After checking the appearance, I couldn’t stand the bird and tried to make a joke.

After a while, out of town.

After selecting a resting place in consideration of the wind direction, I am in the middle of sorting out food while sitting on a poor chair.

I thought I was going to trade right in front of my eyes.

It was because it was more profitable for the villagers to give away anything, so the exchange process became cumbersome.

From mountain vegetables to cultivated grains to tree bark, all kinds of items were mixed, but I couldn’t accept it.

“Except for this.”

“Enough to eat.”

“I can’t eat. If you want to prove it, you can eat it.”

Whether the chief’s son refutes it or not, he sweeps the heart-shaped leaf with the back of his hand.

Wild vegetables scattered on the floor looked like bear stink at first glance, but in reality they were poisonous plants.

“Look!”

“The leaves are thick and shiny. The edges are also blunt and saw-toothed. I don’t know if you put it on your skin, but if you eat it, you’ll get diarrhea.”

“… … .”

Wouldn’t it be better if I had brought sour grains?

I brought something I couldn’t eat at all, so it wasn’t worth reconsidering.

And quite naturally, two hands rushed in and picked up the fallen leaves.

“Are you not able to eat?”

“yes.”

“… Where the hell did you learn this?”

“… … .”

There was no good excuse to resolve Kim Da-yoon’s doubts, so he chose to focus on classification work.

Butterflies, daylilies, and bracken are fine.

You should boil it and eat it.

Grains that contained contaminants in the jar were rejected even if the outside was fine, soybean paste with unreliable raw materials was rejected, and instant soup with expiration dates passed.

It’s an instant product.

The village chief also paid attention-

<There are no monkeys in the zoo.>

“… … .”

<What, why? Did I say something wrong? They’re all looking at you. >

Eventually, the parrot’s chatter flies in and his concentration is shattered.

It’s not that it wasn’t, right in front of it, the authors sitting around the fire were sending out mysterious eyes.

In any case, I have reached this point as a result of mutual aid, so I will not accuse you of being ungrateful.

just… I’m just a little annoyed.

trudge.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the excessive attention is tempered by the sound of footsteps outside.

was a mercenary commander.

“The toilet installation is complete. Be sure to clean up after use. Beasts and monsters might smell it and come.”

“If it’s aftercare… … .”

“You can cover it with sand.”

Soon, those who have endured the toilet disappear into the makeshift bathroom one by one.

Suddenly, the eyes of a middle-aged man come to his face.

“… why.”

“I feel like I haven’t even said goodbye yet. I am Heo Do-won.”

I don’t answer, I don’t even reach out for a handshake. There was no reason to make friends with him just because he had more time to spare.

It has a different intention.

As expected, the main topic came out one beat slowly.

“I have a question, can I ask you something?”

“… … .”

“It is a public question, mixed with personal curiosity. Of course, VIP’s information is confidential. There is no possibility of it leaking outside unless I quit this job.”

Immediately after completing the goods checkout.

Pour the purified liquid into a military canteen, and boil those that need to be poisoned first.

The young mercenary handed over the trade items (antibiotics and saline solution), and put contaminated water and hypochlorous acid capsules in the empty water tank again and waited for it to be disinfected.

“How did you know the exact location of the town? The satellite map showed it 2 kilometers wide.”

“… … .”

Of course, there was no reply.

“I am not blaming you. Thanks to that, I was able to find things that I could have gotten lost in. It’s something to be thankful for. However, I would like to know if the source is reliable information. Even to determine the next route-”

“I’m sure.”

“… Is that so?”

a little bit

I didn’t feel like trying to dig into it, so I couldn’t help but open the door, but it was difficult to reveal the source.

It is a memory of a past life.

Then, suddenly, a bird head intervened and threw out a few words.

<Real father, disabled soldier.>

“… … ?”

<Your father. It seems like an appropriate excuse, but I sell it roughly.>

it was quite

<Hmmm, which one is the head now?>

“… … .”

<Human skull, speak up. Abuju is a former Kunin… keek!>

And to my indignation indeed, the parrot’s advice worked.

no.

passed through too much

“May I ask where your father is from?”

“… I don’t know.”

The mercenaries constantly threw questions as if they hadn’t seen each other, and even though they didn’t give any specific answers, they talked among themselves.

“Where is the place where you don’t reveal your identity? Is it the Special Forces?”

“Ah, it’s not a special forces unit. Is it intertwined with the administration… Blue house? It might be the 1st Guards.”

“Well, you might have been dealing with a villain.”

I said I didn’t know because I didn’t know, but I overextended my imagination.

That guy worked for the 1st Guards… It wasn’t even worth it.

However, the urgent fire was extinguished anyway, so after dinner, I discussed the future plan with the mercenary commander.

It is 10 kilometers in a straight line from the current location to the third barrier.

The sleeping time was set at five hours, but the order of vigils and the range of patrols were divided in detail.

“You don’t have to stay up all night. Other people-”

“That’s Okay. Let’s go like this.

“… It might be tiring, but you have a great sense of responsibility. He is like a soldier’s son.”

“… … .”

I was in fourth order.

Two hours later, late in the morning.

Tok, tok.

A hand tapping on his shoulder raises his eyelids, revealing the image of a young mercenary.

He must have felt quite tired, as soon as our eyes met, he walked to a corner of the stone wall and fell asleep.

As I got up from my seat and relaxed my neck muscles, a dim blue light streamed in through a crack in the collapsed ceiling.

<… Does it make sense to only sleep for two hours? six o’clock in the morning.>

“You are sleeping.”

<A jawless sound.>

Soon, he hung a parrot on one shoulder and circled around the building for a while.

Trying to throw firewood into the bonfire while staying vigil… Suddenly, body movements stop.

A faint voice echoed through the vegetation.

“Did you hear?”

<Yes. But it is far from clear here. There is a limit to 3D sensitivity.>

“… … .”

<… Yongsu.>

“What are you doing. Go see.”

In response, he chimed in, such as guaranteeing sleeping time and the right to live, and writing a labor contract, but in the end, he did not refuse the role of a scout.

Before long, the identity of the human being was revealed.

<… 1st and 2nd year students?>

“… … .”

<Like survivors.>

The escape plan goes awry.
