Chapter 1894 – [I Fell in Love With the Topic of Heroes]

Suddenly, a hero came to stay at our house. Since there is also Agape, the original demon lord, it is virtually a situation where the hero and the demon lord have to live together.

It was impossible to keep the two of them separate and run two households, so in the end, they had to meet face to face. I thought I could decide what to do about that only after consulting with Agape.

“For now, warrior, please use this room. If you need anything else, I will prepare it.”

“Oh, no. It’s okay because it’s enough.”

To say it’s good enough, it doesn’t have much for a girl’s room. There are pretty much everything you need, like a bed and a closet, but other than that, there’s nothing else. It’s a bleak room with no books or anything like that.

I’ll have to fill in some things later. I don’t know what I like right now, so it’s important to know what I need.

Oh, now that I think about it, you like sweets and carbohydrates. Would you like me to make you some snacks? If you bake cookies or something like that, there will be no problem if you put them in a container somewhere.

The warrior who was looking around the room soon saw the other room facing the open door. Although it was closed, the warrior seemed to react quite a bit due to his instincts, perhaps because it was Agape’s room.

“Hey, you said you had a child…”

“Yes, that’s the room of Agape, the child I’m taking with me. She’s sleeping right now, so I’ll probably be able to see her face tomorrow.”

“Ah… Yes, I understand.”

“Is there a problem?”

“No, I feel something strange. It’s similar to when I see a monster, but it feels much stronger…”

“Let’s talk about that tomorrow as well. We’ll have to train.”

“… I understand.”

Eventually, I left the hero in the room and quietly entered Agape’s room. As much as the warrior was aware and alert, Agape was also alert and did not sleep.

The knight’s nemesis came to visit, but if he was really sleeping, that would mean that his liver was swollen in its own way. And as if he knew that the hero was in the next room, he glared in that direction and growled.

“Hero…!!!”

“First, the hero is also staying for a while. You probably have to see him face to face, but can you bear it without fighting?”

“I think we’ll probably fight if we meet face to face!!!!!”

“I thought so. Still, since it’s like this, it would be better to fight. If there’s just one hero, it’ll be easy to keep his mouth shut. It’ll probably work out somehow.”

And the day dawned quickly. Hero and I were the only ones who woke up early in the morning, so I taught the hero how to use the bathroom, brought him appropriate clothes, and helped him wash and change. To be honest, the bathroom here looks modern, so it would be a bit confusing for someone from the Middle Ages if you don’t know how to use it.

Meanwhile, Agape comes out of the room. Since this was virtually the first meeting between the hero and the demon king, I watched carefully, not knowing what kind of chemical reaction would occur.

“Hello… Huh?”

“…”

Until now, it had been unclear since they had not met in person, but as soon as they met her face, the hero stopped greeting her and glared at Agape with a stern look.

And she reflexively draws her sword without realizing it. As the blue steel waved, the Sword Master’s power was clearly revealed, and in addition, light flashed, perhaps as if it were the blessing of this side’s special ability, the Holy Light God, and spheres of light appeared in the air and began to circle menacingly around the warrior’s body.

“Ma, king?”

“Hero!!!!”

“Uh huh, both of you go out and fight. Don’t fight here.”

I rushed in, grabbed Agape and the warrior who were trying to fight, and kicked them out of the villa. The front of the house has been set up separately for training purposes, so there is plenty of space to fight.

Of course, if sword master-level swordsmen fight against each other, unless they are quite far away, there will be damage to the villa, but don’t worry. Anyway, I just have to prevent that much of an impact.

The warrior, who was in the midst of a battle stance but was easily overpowered and kicked out of the house, looked puzzled and then turned to me.

“Woah, Mr. Worst. That kid is the devil!!! I can tell it instinctively!!!”

“Oh, I know that. Agape is no ordinary child.”

“Yes? You knew? But why…”

“When I first saw that child, he was a wild child living in the wild, not in civilization. I was meant to take him in and raise him. Do I need a reason for that?”

“But he is the Demon King? The Demon King is a being who threatens the world and seeks to destroy humans by dominating monsters, right?”

“Can I be held accountable for being born with the name Demon King when I haven’t done it yet? Agape hasn’t killed a single human being yet.”

I am so good at killing people that I can recognize a murderer like a ghost. But Agape doesn’t feel that way at all, so at least he’s never killed anyone.

He has not yet begun his actions as a demon lord and has not killed anyone. Did Agape order a monster to attack a person or something? Even when she was a wild child, she was wary of me, and it was clear that she avoided people altogether.

“Do we have to kill everyone just because they are the devil?”

“Yeah, but that’s how I learned it.”

“What do you think, hero?”

“I, well…”

“Don’t learn, but judge for yourself. Whether Agape will become a threat to the world.”

The tip of the warrior’s sword was shaking. The higher your level, the more important your attitude becomes… Seeing him shaken by just a few words, it seemed like Hero was also lacking in his rapid growth to the qualifications of a member of God’s family.

Of course, it will still be stronger than agape. If there is a fight, Agape will definitely lose, so it would be better to leave room to stop him.

“Come at me, hero!!!!”

“You…!!!!”

Aside from giving me a topic to think about, the two started fighting. Agape reveals his true form as the Demon King through a full-body transformation, and the warriors clash, fully revealing the divine power of the Holy Light God.

As the sharp sword and claws collide due to the strong force, a cracking sound is heard as the air is torn apart. In terms of specs, Agape is superior in that she transformed the monster’s characteristics and obtained only its strengths, but Hero also responded by demonstrating various abilities through divine power.

It has shields and armor made of light, and wings made of light, and it even emits wings made of light in accordance with Agape, which enables flight, and even high-speed flight is possible. I don’t think a warrior wearing a light and going into battle is a warrior for nothing.

And…

“Light!!!!”

“Keueeek!!!!”

Oh my god!!! Shooting a beam from a sword!!!! Now you will be summoned as a limited servant in the gacha game!!!!

Due to the evasive maneuver, Agape did not hit directly but only grazed, but it was an attack with tremendous destructive power. Heat ray attack? Its penetrating power was also enormous, so it tried to reach the clouds high in the sky, but it was blocked with a miracle in fear that the paladin Leonhard, who would be below the mountain, would see it.

As if he was not Agape’s opponent for no reason, the warrior was very strong. Considering his specs alone, he is probably at the level of a grand master.

Agape, whose entire body was burned by the warrior’s heat ray attack, fell to the ground. Although the transformation of the entire body was resolved and recovery was seen with barely enhanced regenerative power, the outcome was clear.

“The devil…!!!”

“Ugh. Ugh…”

Finally, just swing the sword and it will be over. I wondered if I should go out and block it, but the warrior’s sword shook just as he was about to deliver the final blow.

I’m excited about the battle, but looking at the current situation, it’s really strange. Although he is said to be the devil, he appears to be trying to kill a 10-year-old child by burning his entire body. And because of what I said before the fight, the warrior was unable to deliver the final blow.

That girl has a weak mentality. However, it is much better than someone who is rigid and inflexible.

“I am… I am…”

“Until there.”

This is a game that is already over anyway. The victory was the victory of the warrior, but in the end, the decisive blow was not delivered. I stopped the warrior and stopped him.

“The match is already decided. The warrior easily defeated Agape, so if he decides to do it later, he can do it later.”

“That’s…”

“You don’t have to do it right now. Like I said before, take the time to think for yourself and make your own decisions.”

“Whose side is Worst on?!!!”

“I’m taking your side, you fool.”

Let’s leave the agape argument aside for a moment. After fighting once, it was better to eat first.

I let the two people into the house again. Although Agape’s wounds had healed to some extent, she gritted her teeth and glared at the warrior, while the warrior stared blankly into space with gloomy eyes. Since the mental damage is severe, I think we should first feed him something delicious and let him sleep well in a warm place.

Since the warrior likes carbohydrates, he makes pasta for lunch. Cook the pasta noodles and make the meat sauce… Agape likes meat, so I grill some steaks and put them on top.

With the addition of meat sauce pasta and garlic bread that can be spread with sauce, even the hero seemed to be hungry, and his gloomy eyes returned to focus. Life comes back to that guy’s body.

“It looks delicious!!!!”

“Enjoy your meal, warrior.”

“… Yes, thank you.”

The warrior ate relatively well, even though he had mental problems, because they made it with the food he liked. It may seem like you’re eating it with a crunch, but because the amount you eat at one time is large, the eating speed itself is quite fast.

After eating the remaining sauce on garlic bread and filling his stomach, the warrior seemed to feel a little better and began to talk little by little.

“Is it true that the Demon King never harmed anyone?”

“Yes, even in self-defense, it has never harmed anyone. Agape has been avoiding people for a while. Since it never met, there was no need to fight in the first place.”

“They say they lost to me, but they still have enough power to be a threat to humanity. Still, what do you mean?”

Then I asked the agape person who was still eating and chewing his steak.

“Agape, do you want to go down and kill humans? Are you going to gather monsters and kill them?”

“I might have thought that way in the past… But not so much now. I like eating next to Worst!!!!”

“I’m not even Woong-i, so is this the ‘I always cooked for you’ ending?”

The warrior seemed quite shocked by the conversation between me and Agape. For a child who has been gaslighted all his life by hearing things like, ‘The devil is a villain who will exterminate all humans!!!!’, It was a natural reaction to hear that he would not speak up from the devil’s mouth.

No, how on earth did you raise a child? You can’t have been roughly raised as a warrior, but at least you should have been raised accordingly.

In that situation, I suddenly became curious and asked various things about the hero. For example, at what age did you start training, what kind of training did you receive, etc.

“How old were you when you started training?”

“Huh? Ah… Probably when I was about 5 years old.”

“…5 years old?”

“Yes, I heard that around that time, an oracle came down and recognized me as a warrior, and I was moved from the orphanage to the Holy Gwan Shrine and began training. My memories of that time are vague, though.”

“An orphanage?”

“I was an orphan. I was abandoned in front of an orphanage, so I don’t know who my parents are.”

I understand not having parents. Well, at the point of abandonment, it means that there was someone who abandoned them, so there may have been parents, but if they were abandoned, it’s better not to have them… Anyway.

The problem is that such an abandoned child was appointed a warrior at the age of five. If he had been appointed as a warrior in a situation where his ego had been established to some extent, the problem was that he had become a warrior at an age when he knew nothing and was used to acting cute.

… No, whether it’s the God of Darkness or the God of Holy Light, they’re both idiots. I’m about to attack the Great Demon King.

“After that, I trained at the Holy Light Temple for about 10 years. I had talent and quickly reached the level… But in the end, I was a fool who couldn’t do what I should have done when it was important.”

“Well, sometimes that hesitation is important and actually better.”

“Better? I’m a warrior. It’s my duty to defeat the demon lord, but what’s better in a situation where I can’t come to a conclusion even with such a demon lord in front of me?”

“That’s your duty as a hero. It’s not Leona’s responsibility. If you thought of yourself as a hero in the first place, wouldn’t you have slit Agape’s head without hesitation?”

“That’s…”

“People have many names in their lives. They do not have one responsibility to fulfill in their lives. So, they must choose for themselves what to do. Just like Agape, being the devil, threw away responsibilities such as annihilating humanity.”

“…”

The warrior seemed to be thinking deeply. I decided to give him time to think.

First, let the warrior into the room and bake cookies separately. For those who like carbohydrates and sweets, cookies containing both will be very appealing. You can’t help but eat cookies made with flour and filled with sugar and chocolate.

Apart from dinner, we spent the afternoon baking cookies. Thanks to this, he gave up Agape’s afternoon training, but it wasn’t a problem since Agape also likes sweets.

“Cookie dough is delicious.”

“It’s delicious, but eat it in moderation. There aren’t enough ingredients.”

In fact, normally raw cookie dough contains raw eggs, so you have to worry about salmonella bacteria, but since the eggs came from Horizon and Agape didn’t suffer any damage to the extent of food poisoning, there was no problem. Immediately spread the dough appropriately and bake the cookies.

The baked cookies were in three colors. Ordinary chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate cookies with cacao powder in the dough, and nut cookies with nuts.

Actually, I could make more types if I wanted to, but that’s all I’ve done. Anyway, so many different types of cookies wouldn’t be of much help to the current hero. In short… The important thing is the message.

I put the baked cookies in a large container and gently placed them inside, and the effect returned immediately. Even though I didn’t go out for a few days, I could still hear the sound of cookies being eaten.

“Now I have to strike the final blow.”

“Final blow!!!! I like it too!!! But what are you going to do?”

“Egg tart.”

“Egg, tart?”

There are commonly two types of egg tarts: Portuguese style and Hong Kong style, but the one I made was Portuguese style. I wonder what the difference is, but the Portuguese style was characterized by pouring caramel sauce over a pastry-like pie, leaving dark brown baked marks on the yellow kernels.

And that smell of baking egg tarts… Huh.

Flour + butter + eggs + sugar. Can you resist this combination? The smell of bread baking on the street might be of interest, but something that gives off a baking smell worse than that of a subway deli manju? Huh?

It is not a popular menu item at department stores for no reason. Thanks to that, Agape was almost showing his appetite by stomping his feet next to him.

“Aaaaah!!! I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!!!!!!”

“Okay, I’ll do it right away, so don’t worry. It’s almost done. Freshly baked egg tarts taste different.”

Anything that was freshly made tasted different. At the very least, the taste of ramen that has been out of the factory for only a few days is significantly different from that of ramen that has been out for a few months. How about something like snacks?

After taking the egg tart out of the oven, the rich, fragrant smell that was already in the air began to fill the villa. It’s so different in flavor that it changes the air, so it’s amazing to eat it.

It was enough to bring out the warrior who had locked himself in the room.

“Hey…”

“Ah, hero, are you out?”

“Uh, well, ah… Yes.”

“First, I made an egg tart. Let’s eat it together. It’s fantastic when eaten with milk.”

“Well, thank you…”

And the warrior sat down with Agape and began to eat egg tarts. Eating what you like with your archenemy by your side… Also meant breaking one of your stubbornness.

Since I’ve been asked to do it, I’ll have to teach it, but I think Hero needs to fix his mental part first.

Mentally weak when it comes to being a warrior!!!!!
