Chapter 36 – Chapter 36 – Warm-Up (2)

Waking up, Hernan hurriedly left the demon king’s room and headed for the dining table in the living room.
As expected, all the other women except herself and her sharpie were already out, and her meal was also prepared with the devil’s favorite things.

“It’s late.”

Hearing her cold warrior’s tone, Hernán sat down next to her, sweating from the morning.

I woke up much later than usual today.
A meal that tells you who you slept with.
And if you add in the fact that Hernán usually wakes up early, it’s pretty obvious what this oversleeping means.

Karine also opened her mouth to confirm the meaning.

“I must have done a lot with the Demon King.”

Her words reminded me of the night I spent with Sharpie yesterday.

The moment when she was able to fully reveal her own sexuality to her partner.
She has intermingled with several women, but the Sharpie is the only one capable of such sex.

Maybe that’s why she had sex with all her might, to the point where she had nothing to say except that she was sucked by the demon king.

Maybe you did 2 in the sharpie special room yesterday, and 2 in the bedroom?
No, she might be number three.

What is certain is that I did it more non-stop than I did with other women.
So I slept well today.

Around the time Hernán was lost in her memories of yesterday in such a daze, her sharpie also came out erratically.

“Haaaaa…”

She looked tired too, and she couldn’t fully straighten her back because she had been pushed too far behind her yesterday.

“My back hurts…”

Her legs were also slightly wobbly, but in contrast, her skin was full of life.
In other words, everyone was telling her that she had had sex with Hernán like crazy yesterday and had her semen inside her body.

Hernán still couldn’t take her eyes off her voluptuous body, tracking her movements only with her gaze.

Sharpie looked around the woman around her table for a moment and grinned.
She then went and sat down in the farthest corner from her group.

For a moment she almost asked why she went and sat there.
But Hernan felt the chill beside her, and she quickly regained her senses.

I sold my eyes to Sharpie too.
It’s not good to make mistakes like this when there’s someone to be aroused by Sharpie and her own image.

The demon king already noticed this and quietly went to a secluded spot.
He himself has to repay her efforts sooner rather than later.

Hernan hurriedly checked Carine’s face.

Her expression was still cold and composed.
But down to her neck, her white skin was as hot as if it had been painted red.
Carine’s blue eyes were busy scanning the marks of her kisses around the sharpie’s neck.

Hernán sensed that her peace this morning was in her own hands, and she immediately stretched out her hand.

The hero suddenly looked to his side, startled by the feeling of holding his hand.

“Karine. Did you sleep well yesterday?”

Hernán hoped that there would be no marks on her face that seemed to have been left on her body.
Even if she did, she prayed earnestly that, unlike the sharpie’s revealing clothes, she herself would not be exposed as the clothes that covered her body.

Fortunately, Carine was not offended by Hernán’s sudden touch, and she did not find the kiss mark that Sharpie had been diligently carving out the day before.
It just shows a little embarrassment.

Relieved by that fact, Hernán whispered so that only she could hear.

“Isn’t it a pity that I couldn’t sleep with you last night?”

There was a slight shade under Karine’s eyes.
He probably couldn’t sleep right on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time.

Paying attention to that fact, Hernán brought out the following words.

“I couldn’t sleep well last night either. After all, I need to be by your side so I can sleep comfortably.”

It wasn’t that I couldn’t sleep because I had sex with another woman all night, but I stayed up all night thinking about my lover.
Hernan made it sound like that.

It’s frankly childish and absurd.
If Karine Jung misses you, she wants her to come back to her lover’s room after having sex with Sharpie.

But even such a small excuse seemed desperate to Karine.
She has proof that her lover still loves her.

The hero nodded her head and put strength into her hand holding Hernán.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

It was a short and plain answer.
Of course, there was no big complaint because I could see Karine’s affection in her.

It was just a pity.
Even when they couldn’t officially date each other in the capital because they were paying attention to other people, the two talked a lot.

Karine, in particular, had a lot of sensibility and a talent for art, so she would show a lot of expression even during conversation.

If it wasn’t for that bastard’s succession to the throne, it would have been like that even now.

Hernán quickly erased the thoughts he had just had.
Even thinking like this won’t help you right away.

No matter how her lover has changed, he himself has decided to help her, and since he still loves her, this kind of longing is inappropriate.

Hernán tried to repeat that and prepared a meal for Sharpie to eat.
Without looking at Karine or talking to Hernán, she quietly took the food and started eating alone.

She thoroughly insisted that she had sex with Hernán yesterday for her survival, and nothing more.

Carine was satisfied with that attitude and started talking to other women.

“Everyone has worked hard so far.”

Everyone looked at the hero except for Sharpie, who fell alone.

“Maybe Marina will have a baby soon, so everyone is pregnant. In other words, the journey to escape is proceeding smoothly.”

At the words of congratulations on their pregnancy, the women made strange faces.
Hernando continued to listen, not knowing where the bread was going.

“It was the first time, although there were many twists and turns.”

The saintess hurriedly drank a glass of water, as if she had suddenly been caught in her throat.
The elf also rummaged through the food gloomily.

“Once you get pregnant, the next one will be easier. Of course, I will not forget the sacrifices you made.”

The wizard slightly turned her eyes to see Hernán, then listened to the hero’s words with an expressionless expression.

“So if you get out of here with you, I’ll pay you well.”

“Compensation…”

The saintess muttered as she swallowed her water with difficulty.
The hero nodded her head and reminded the women of their promise.

“Marina said she wanted to be the head of the Order, right?”

“For now, yes…”

Marina lowered her head as the hero met her gaze.

She said, “Just because she lost her divine power doesn’t mean she can’t become the head of the Order. Among the archbishops of your church, there were many priests who did not have holy power, right?”

Marina, a saintess without divine power, did not hesitate to answer.
Whether the warrior was waiting for her answer, she immediately continued.

“If you leave the children born here at the church’s orphanage, it will be solved. If you say you saved it during your journey, they will accept it.”

Even during her journey, sometimes the saintess rescued her children from her ruined village and left them in her orphanage.

The temple of the church she belonged to remembers that she originally served both an orphanage and a home for the poor, so no special procedures were required.

And Marina, if memory serves me right.
She, too, is a Shinto orphan.

Marina looked at the hero and was silent.
The hero opened her mouth again, as if the silence was not to her liking.

“The royal family will also do their best to make you a leading candidate in the election of the archbishop. Combined with your reputation, there will be no problem.”

“But first the king…”

The saintess couldn’t finish her words.
This time her hero was silent, watching her intently.

It is an emotionless face that shows no anger.
But her eyes are fierce.

The saintess was taken aback by the silence and her gaze, and hurriedly waved her hand.

“Mu, of course I believe that the warrior will keep his promise after he becomes king.”

Her answer had power in the part of ‘he became a king’.
Carine kept her silence for a little while before speaking to her saintess.

“I know you and others are worried that I won’t be king. But when we said we were going to subdue the demon lord, did anyone really believe that we would succeed?”

There was no

Hernan also thought it would be impossible.
So she stopped, but she insisted that Karine would go alone, saying there was no way left.

Her Nan, who loves her, finally prepared together and came this far.

“But we have neutralized the Demon King and brought him with us, right? Even if you go out, you can definitely succeed.”

To be honest, reaching the Demon King was a miracle that can only be said to be God’s help.

I always got the right colleagues exquisitely at the moment I needed it, and when I was at a loss, I was given a miraculously suitable solution.

The warrior seemed to be convinced that it would be like that even when he went out.

Seeing that confidence, Saint Marina, who had performed the miracle of God, made a dark expression.
However, she immediately responded in a cheery voice.

“I understand, warrior. I will do my best, so I hope the hero will do his best.”

The saintess’ answer slightly improved the atmosphere.
Since he wasn’t expecting the atmosphere to improve at all, Hernán was even mistaken for a moment whether there was really a god’s help for the hero.

But soon, she gave up her expectations, remembering that it was the demon, one of the gods, who had imprisoned her.
Even the only god to pray to here is the demon, so the anticipation faded even more.

Meanwhile, the hero turned his head and now opened his mouth to Silnia.

“Sylnia. Neither do you. I will return you to the forest.”

“How… ?”

The elf asked grimly.

It was obviously a question to the hero, but Hernan felt as if a sharp arrow had been stabbed into his chest.

The warrior explained calmly.

“I will send you back with an army. The army will stay there even if I die.”

“Hey, army…”

Sylnia smiled as if she was talking about that again.
Ignoring the ridicule, the warrior explained further.

“Of course, if I don’t like that, I’ll find another way.”

The hero’s words this time had the power to slightly cheer up Silnia.
The elf waited for the hero’s answer with hope in his eyes.

“As the king, I will guarantee your chastity. Treat the children born here in moderation.”

Silnia’s expression became complicated in an instant.
Hernan was no different, so he had a hard time managing his facial muscles.

“The proof of virginity is the hymen, right? But she doesn’t necessarily tear it apart with sex.”

As the hero said that and looked at the saintess, Marina nodded her head shyly.

“If the royal family and church guarantee your chastity, even the elves in the forest won’t dare to dispute it. Because your hometown is no force to challenge such authority.”

Silnia seriously considered her words and rolled her eyes.

As Carine said, if there is a guarantee from the royal family, can she go back to the forest herself?
Doesn’t being accepted mean being ostracized?

Her face was stained with such questions.
Then her eyes met Hernán’s.

Hernán silently looked at her and remembered that he had promised her Silnia many times that he would return him to her forest.
Perhaps she thought of the same thing.

Silnia shook her hand for a moment, then she hurriedly turned her head away from Hernan.
Then she asked the warrior.

“Kid… Are you going to take care of my unborn child?”

“Okay. You, too, would be in trouble with a child with human blood mixed in anyway, right? Neither I nor Hernan are in trouble.”

“So how do you deal with it?”

It was a cautious attitude uncharacteristic of Sylnia.
Karine stared at her and opened her mouth.

“I will send them to an orphanage with Marina’s children.”

Hernan intuitively felt that the hero had changed the contents right before he spoke.
If the content had been like that from the beginning, I wouldn’t have used such a cold term as treatment.

If so, what I originally thought of was a ruthless method worthy of the word disposal.

Hernan decided that he needed to talk more with the hero about that fact, and listened to Silnia’s words.

“Will my child do well in the human orphanage?”

She put down the spoon she was holding in her hand as if concerned and asked seriously.
Hernan thought more than she thought that Silnia cared for her child who would be born in her womb.

However, as soon as the conversation between the hero and Silnia continued, his thoughts were shaken.

“Sylnia. The most important thing for you is to go back to the forest. Don’t think about anything else, just focus on that.”

“Forest…”

Something flickered in Sylnia’s eyes.
She nodded and opened her mouth.

“Okay. I cannot give up my hometown for a child who will return to the land before me.”

Silnia nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around her own belly.

“Okay. I’ll put more faith in your promise.”

Hernán felt bitter, but the air around her table improved considerably.
It might be for the best since Potty was caught sleeping with Hernan for the first time.

That’s why Hernan didn’t open her mouth.
If the hero takes good care of the women, he decides to stop paying attention to them and focus on Karine.

Karine was doing her best in her own way.
It’s not that there’s nothing on her mind, but she’ll be fine as long as she stays here and coordinates her details with her.

While Hernán soothed her anxiety, the hero got on a good flow and spoke her words to Potty one last time.

“Wizard. The lab I promised you… No.”

The hero recalled the wonderful laboratory she had already been given, and suggested something else.

“I will offer you the position of the owner of the Mage Tower. With your skills, going out and gaining a little more knowledge is enough to fulfill the role.”

“Eh, if it’s a magic tower, which magic tower are you talking about?”

Forty pricked her ears up and focused on Carine’s words.
As if Carine had already thought of it, she brought up the name of a city famous for magic.

“I’ll prepare a suitable mage tower there.”

“Is that city far from the capital?”

“It’s pretty far if I remember right.”

The warrior noticed that he didn’t know why he was asking such a thing.
Hernando got on his nerves to find out why Potty was asking that.

In Forty’s unwavering tone, he said what he wanted.

“Please appoint me as the royal mage.”

“A royal wizard? That’s rather easier. It’s not the mage tower master, why…”

Karine’s voice faded.
Hernan felt the air suddenly get chilly.

He couldn’t figure out what the hell his lover was aware of and giving off such a quarrelsome atmosphere.

She hurriedly looked at the expressions of her saints and elves to find out what she hadn’t noticed, but they seemed equally bewildered.

Hernán turned his gaze to the demon king just in case.
She often had a faint smile on her face.

Sharpie lifted his index finger slightly as Hernan’s eyes met hers.
Her finger quickly pointed at Potty and then at Hernan.

And she pointed to her own pupil for the last time.
When Hernan saw the shape of her pupils, the symbol of love, the heart, she finally realized.

All Potty wants is love.

So this is a challenge.
The challenge of rivals who love the same man.

“I want to become a royal wizard in the capital…”

Right now, Potty doesn’t need a great position like the lord of the Mage’s Tower, and he says he wants to be with Hernán, who will stay in the capital.

Carine, already Hernán and her lover, are the first to notice another challenge from the diminutive woman.

“Forties.”

Karine called out the wizard’s name.

“Yes, warrior.”

Potty rolled his eyes and shrugged.
Carine said with hostility, not caring about such behavior.

“The royal mageship may require long experience and political sense.”

“Oh, even the lowest seat is fine. As a reward for supporting the hero and the thief for the longest time, can you give me that position?”

Hernan felt a strange headache.
A headache that anyone can feel, not caused by brain magic.

It was the pain that comes when she is faced with an awkward situation.
She thinks it’s similar to the headache she got the last time she talked to Carine and saw Potty in her hallway, and Hernán felt things go wrong.

She then told Karine about why women now keep trying to spend time with her, and why she has no choice but to agree.

Women are now completely crumbling their goals, and it is difficult to trust the promise of the warrior to hold on to them.

So, if Karine gives the girls faith that she will definitely keep her promise, she won’t have to bother looking for Hernán, and she can feel safe and focus on her lover.

“Boo, please, hero.”

But her own plans were far off the mark.

Because there was someone here who didn’t even care about the hero’s promise in the first place.
The man had a different goal from the beginning.

Even if she got out of here, she had no intention of giving up on her goal, the man, and that’s why she was fighting her fears and taking on the challenge.

“You… !”

Karine clenched her fists.
Forty glanced at it and her face went white.

Despite her courage, she is a fragile animal who has lived in fear all her life.
It is not easy to go against that nature of her once and for all.

Nevertheless, Potty finally opened his mouth.
She said trembling.

“Please, please, please…”

Karine jumped up as it were.
She thought the chair would roll back, but it made no noise.

Hernán confirmed the reason and got up quickly.
Carine was holding the back of her chair.

She hadn’t lifted it yet, but she was sure she would soon.
Before the situation got out of hand, Hernán called his lover.

“Karine!”

With Hernán’s cry, the hole in the wall opened.
While offering a prayer of thanks to the demon, Hernán hurriedly pointed at it.

“There is a pregnancy test pattern for the saintess. Did you wake up because of that too?”

Indeed, at the right time, something to turn our attention to.

“Pattern?”

Karine looked at the wall.
There was already a demon lord who took her paper and brought it.

She handed it to the hero and opened her mouth.

“As expected, isn’t it right for a captain to give something like this to his subordinates? The hero gives it to the saintess.”

Karine watched it with her ferocious eyes, then turned her attention to the wizard.
Potty was so startled that her whole body was rattling with her ears folded.

Hernan hurriedly took Carine’s hand, which was holding her chair.
After that, she spoke as softly and calmly as possible.

“Karine. Come on, take that paper.”

Carine stared at her lover Hernan’s face for a long time, breaking out in a cold sweat and barely smiling.

Amidst that tension, the saintess noticed her and was contemplating whether she should just lift up her skirt to relieve her unknown tension.

Karine relaxed her hand and accepted the paper Sharpie held out to her.

Hernan let out a long sigh.
