Chapter 67 – Late-Blooming Soonjeong

Chapter 67

All over again.

Angela tidies her body, and I now ride my horse.

“Yeah, everyone worked hard.”

“Nothing to say, chief.
I often see more things next to Commander Van Dark.”

“That’s right, the captain is quiet enough.
Commander Van Dark tamed the man like that.
Deliberately screaming and just…
As expected, the methods are similar because they are motivated.”

“Are you also a butt killer?
You’re strong, Van Dark.”

I shudder.
I feel like an idiot for not knowing what to do and continuing to pick up soap from the first time I met him.

I was too young then.
I fought a few duels with the gaze that threatened my chastity.
It’s just a memory now.

“Next time we meet, learn how to tame it.
You’re right, and he’ll be excited to teach you.”

“That’s good.”

While we were chatting, we arrived at the Demon King’s camp.
As promised, I tied a yellow handkerchief to the phantom rapier and lifted it up, and the demon king guided me.
The place we were guided to was a campsite further northeast.

“Zach, you stay here and hide.
If Balak is seen, he dies.
At that time, I can’t stop it either.”

“Yes…”

Jacques shrugs his shoulders and disappears.
Leaving him behind, I go deep into the Demon King’s camp.

“Welcome, Kamyu.”

“Ugh.”

Purr.

The horses stop, and Balak guides me.
Everyone gets off their horses, gives them reins, and follows them on foot.

“Kamu goes in with me.
The rest wait in this tent.”

Balak leads me to the largest tent.
Ludvik, Angela, and the mercenaries went into the yellow tent guarded by two giant soldiers from the demon army.

“How many years has it been since I’ve seen my teacher?”

“Well, I saw you at my death sentence right before I left for Amitie.
About three years ago?”

When he lost a duel with his master and was put on trial for attempting to murder his master, the Four Heavenly Kings, Khan sat on the jury.
He looked at me with interest and kept stroking his gray beard.

“… Do you have any ill feelings?”

“Nothing about that.”

Even then, I didn’t make any excuses.
At that time, I was so upset that I wanted to die.
What… I want to live well.

“Be careful with your words. Don’t fuss.”

“Okay okay. I’ll do my best.”

Balak nags at him, twitching his fingers for his size.

There are ten Demon Soldiers guarding the front of the tent.

Past them, Balak opens the entrance to the tent for the giant to enter as well.

Flutter.

“Wait right in front.”

“Yes, good job.”

The tent is too big for me.
I will play soccer inside.

When you go inside, you see a gray-haired, long-bearded giant sitting on a chair made of tiger skin.
He rests his chin on his right hand and rests his left hand on the armrest.
Is there a chair that can withstand that weight?

“Come here, kid.”

I took off my wooden mask and bowed my head in front of him.

“Long time no see.
You are the Four Heavenly Kings, Khan.”

* * *

Khan looks at me silently.
From head to toe.
I’m looking through it very thoroughly.

Then he suddenly chuckled.

“Babe, you look good.
When I was in command of the 3rd Corps, my men owed a little to you.”

“You’re welcome.
It is natural that they are treated well as they are from other corps.”

Khan’s eyes shine brightly.

“The dispatched Berserkers made me drool over your praise.
It’s much higher than our corps survival rate.”

?
Why is this gentleman praising all of a sudden?
Having inherited the blood of the giants from such a nobleman, he has a personality that is completely incapable of flattery.
But why is it praised from the beginning?

I bow my head for a moment.

“It is overrated.
As befits Khan’s troops, they are very brave.”

It is true that it is brave.
Excessive is a problem.

Khan let out his wild laugh and waved his left hand across his armrest.

“It goes without saying that my troops are brave.
But it’s not easy to deal with.
I only selected and sent the disobedient guys, but I thought I’d keep pace with them by leaving them as freerolls.
Very clever Like it!”

Compliments are too much today.
Why do I feel so good
I didn’t win the Dongmun battle at once, so I thought I would stomp his feet and disassemble him by now.
Not like a giant berserker.

“Because Khan’s troops are special.
It was also fun to match my tactics to the mighty berserker’s attack power rather than to fit my tactics.
Because it works well.”

“The survival rate is far higher than our Corps average.”

“These friends are competent.”

“Seeing that they match so well, I should keep in mind the corps combined operation in preparation for the holy war.
Your Battle of Belzeburg is the most successful group assignment in the past 50 years… No, isn’t it a joint operation?
Do you have any plans to become a corps commander again?”

“Since he is still being dispatched as an informant… “

Khan taps the armrest of his chair with the fingers of his left hand.

“Hmm, I heard that the position of commander of the 7th corps seems to be vacant…
There is no demon king to approve the dispatch correction.
Wouldn’t it be nice to talk to your master?
The 3rd and 7th corps belong to her, right?”

The woman here refers to her teacher.
It’s really strange today.
Khan is usually called by other nicknames.
Whether it’s fire

“Even if it wasn’t so, I was planning to visit Master within a short period of time after finishing this work.
Thank you for caring me.”

“Yes, yes.
Say hello too.”

“…”

After a moment of awkward silence, Khan opened his mouth again.

“Hum-hum, the results of the last trial were regrettable.”

“No.
I accept the results.
It’s my fault for trying to harm my master.”

“That woman, she cares about you a lot.
That was the second time I saw that woman kneeling down and begging the demon king like that.
Thanks to you, you escaped the death penalty.
Now that the demon king has returned to the black sun, stop looking at him and go to his teacher.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, by the way, now that I see it, Balak doesn’t seem to have heard it, so I’m just saying it.
I proposed to you.”

“Yes?”

Khan cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression that didn’t suit him at all.

“He proposed.”

… So what?

“To you, Boulanger.”

… What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

“So you go to the master and…”

“Wait wait wait wait wait!!!!!!”

What what what what what what?!?!?!?!
What did I just hear?!?!

“Wait a minute, let’s recap…
The Four Heavenly Kings, Khan, proposes to our teacher, the Four Heavenly Kings, Nene Blanche…
So you said let’s get married?”

Khan suddenly loosened his chin and straightened his waist.
It is the image of a man who is allowed by his partner’s son to marry a new woman without fail.

Awkward and stiff pretending to be friendly.

“Okay.
If you’re talking about it, you’re going to die.”

“… Did you say that to Balak too?”

“Yes.
Of course.”

Khan responded with the awkward smile of a giant berserker I’ve never seen in my life.

“Please wait a moment… !!!
I’m going to visit Balak for a while!!”

“Uh, uh… Yes.”

Khan, who met at a friend’s house, shakes his hand awkwardly as if saying hello.
Oh man, something was wrong!!!
What kind of drugs did that crazy grandpa do to be so kind!!!!!

I hurried outside the tent and went to Balak who was sitting on the floor by the entrance.

Awesome!

As soon as he went, he kicked Ballack’s thigh with a low kick without mercy.

“Ah! Why!”

“Hey…
Why didn’t you tell me that?!”

Balak tilted his head as his red skin swelled up.
It must have hurt from being kicked.

“What?
What are you talking about?”

“… Master Neg proposed to my master!!”

Ballack laughs single-single, not befitting his size.

“Ah, I forgot~~~”

This bastard…
It’s 100 percent or Meg.
It must have been revenge for what I said in the letter.

“Your size is getting distracted, and you’re like a little bitch like me?”

“Oh, you didn’t know that?
Why do you win when you see me?
Oh, don’t believe in phantom magic.
Hurry up and tell me politely.
I told you to be careful earlier because I was afraid that you would do this.”

“Oh no, I won’t tell you.
When did you propose?”

Ballack shrugs really meanly.

“I don’t know.
Roughly… About three weeks?”

In about 3 weeks…
Roughly before and after Rumika came to visit me.

“Did you send it after an agreement?”

“I don’t think so.
He had another suitor, so he seemed to propose in a hurry.
You were excited that you wrote a love letter after a long time, right?”

Wow
How big is that?
Love love?!

Whoa… Let’s stay calm let’s stay calm
Master will refuse…

“Your master seems to think he wants to meet you too.”

“What?!?!?!”

No!!!
No way!!!!

“Where did you hear that?!”

“No, just look at the atmosphere that comes and goes.”

I don’t know if it’s true or not because this bastard laughs and says it.
My head is hot.
It seems to explode.
Oh what a bullshit really.
I have to say that I’m surrendering to Light Blinger now!
It was a bitch.

Let’s stay calm.
The fact that Khan was so kind, and the fact that he tried to do as much as possible for my request, was all because he wanted to impress my teacher.

No matter what, I’m Master’s ex-boyfriend…
No.
If you think about it like a demon, it’s not a big deal.

“Hey, how many wives did you propose to?”

“Um, maybe the 34th?”

“By survivor standards?”

“It will be the sixth.”

“… How many wives is Balak’s mother?”

“Currently, the fourth.
Hehe, like this, you will become like our brothers.”

“Shut up, you bastard.”

Khan had lived for over 500 years and had united many of the giants and demon tribes, so he had many arranged marriages.
Considering his long life and his status, the cumulative number of wives in his lifetime is 34, which is a small number.

Now, because of the succession structure, the number of wives is not increasing well, and there are five living wives, so, um…
Because our master is someone who can’t influence the succession plan…

“Because of the Demon King?”

“Answer.
Two corps under Nene-sama, two corps under us.
If it’s half of the 8th Corps of the Demon King’s Army, it’s worth aiming for the Demon King.”

“… However, at least three of the four heavenly kings must agree to decide the demon king.
Two of the Four Heavenly Kings can’t even call a tribal meeting.”

Balak shrugs his shoulders once more.

“But, Rumika is the only successor to the demon king right now.
They’ve all been purged, and there’s no dark blood holders.
At least one of the other two would agree.
I don’t know if it’s Desdemona, but wouldn’t Caltz agree with that?
What are we doing playing as warlords in the yard where the holy war is declared?”

“Is that Khan’s opinion?”

“No, my opinion.
I don’t know much about politics.
In fact, I didn’t even hear why you were proposing.”

Balak shakes his head.

Ballack is naive in this respect.
Just because the humans declared a holy war, the devil’s forces suddenly become united?
Are there different races and ideologies?

Even if you tie it to religion, it will flow in the same fundamentalist flow and try to purge the tribes that don’t believe in the Black Sun God, right?

Aside from the demons, the beasts, giants, highlands tribal unions, and some fairies.
What about these tribes?

In the end, it’s fortunate that the demon kings don’t fight each other.
Rather, there is always one guy who tries to sell the land with other tribes to take advantage of the confusion and eat the devil.

There is also a high-ranking position in the Demon King’s Army that has been attached to High Priest Philip.
That level of execution is at least the level of a corps commander.
What if the inmate is at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings?
… I don’t even want to think about it.
There’s not much I can do.
I have no choice but to eat popcorn.

But in the midst of this, the Four Heavenly Kings, Kan, proposed to the Four Heavenly Kings, Nene.
It’s an ambassador.

“I get it.
See you later.”

“Ugh.
Be careful with your words.”

I hurried back into the tent.
And bow at 90 degrees.
… Since I belong to the other Four Heavenly Kings, I will not kneel.
Even if it goes well with our master.

“Thank you for waiting, Mr. Khan.”

Khan grinned and stroked his beard, as if he was in a good mood.

Haha!
I’ve been waiting for a while
Ballack I guess that guy made a mistake and didn’t hear about it?
Well, let’s talk slowly today.
As you said, let the offensive stop today.”

Ah…
Ruined.
If you say ‘I’m against this marriage!’ Here, the 2nd Corps won’t cooperate…

But it’s hard to just say, “Hehe, of course.” …
Even if I die, I won’t be able to see Master being embraced by another man.
Gotta gouge my eyes out to see that.

So, I can’t take it lightly.

Oh shit, really.
I still haven’t made up my mind
What is it really
