Chapter 1895 – [I Fell in Love With the Topic of Heroes]

First, Hero Leona and Demon King Agape made a brief truce. Although it was an unintentional action, at least we stopped fighting all the time just because we were in the same house.

Of course, from Agape’s point of view, since she lost once and had her own personality, she saw it as someone she would fight and win someday. She was waiting quietly because she couldn’t win, at least not now.

“Then, we will both have to stay here and train. Since each of us has different personalities and needs to grow in different ways, we will need to train differently as well.”

“I… Is it okay if I ask you a question?”

“Yes, you say it.”

“There is her, the Demon Lord, and me, her hero, so don’t you have any objections?”

“What do you think? In the end, we are all the same. It depends on how you teach.”

“But…”

“What do you think is better? To be born good? Or to be born evil but overcome your nature through effort? It is up to you, the warrior, to decide.”

“…”

“The world is essentially a series of choices.”

Hehe, Pathernax, I will not forget you. No, even if it were a phantom dragon like Pathernax, I would be convinced and not kill it. He also has some flexibility, such as killing dragons that are like bastards but saving dragons with good personalities.

Anyway, since we gave the warrior some room to think, all we need to do is give him some basis or time. In the end, if she becomes hostile to Agape, she can’t help it. If, on the other hand, she rejects fate and becomes friendly with it, that’s fine.

Honestly, personally, I hope for the latter. A warrior has been a warrior since he was young, trained, and has not lived a life worthy of a human being. What if he lived a more comfortable life? If you stop it, you just have to threaten the gods.

No matter how much God says he cares about his people, if I think about those people, I won’t take God’s side. In the end, the sensibilities of God and humans are different.

“I am a warrior, but I could not smite the devil lord’s head. I had many thoughts… But what does it mean to me who failed to do my duty?”

“As I said before, a person has more than one duty. Could it be that all the other warriors of previous generations died after defeating the Demon King?”

“That’s… Probably not true. I don’t know, but I’ve heard that other previous warriors married princesses and became nobles or worked as holy knights.”

“Look at that. Defeating the demon lord is a hero’s duty, not everything. A person has more than just one value, so you have to think about other things as well.”

“So what does it mean to me?”

“Shouldn’t you start by eating delicious food and accumulating various knowledge before thinking about it? You are now a teenager. You have more years to live than an ordinary human, but you have only lived a handful of days. There is plenty of time to worry and think about it. .”

“Hmm…”

“It will be even more so since Agape will not be active as a demon lord.”

“If you give me food, I will stay still!!!!”

No, but I plan to go back after the vacation is over… I can’t take care of Agape or the warrior forever.

Even now, the vacation is slowly coming to an end. I’ll probably have to contact you sometime soon. The situation is unclear to go back now, so it would be better to go only after at least resolving this situation.

And I took some time at night to call home. I received a call from Zion dressed neatly, as if he was attending some event.

[Oh, how are you?]

“I’m doing well. But is there some event going on? You’re dressed up like that. Is there a festival or something?”

[It’s not a festival, it’s a funeral.]

“Uh…”

[This is nothing else but the third anniversary event for former presidents and members of the National Assembly who died in the meteorite disaster. In fact, you were so busy with work that you couldn’t handle it well. Isn’t that what you should have done?]

“That’s right… I’m sorry, I should have done it.”

[Rather, I’m doing it when you’re not around to ease your burden. Oh, by the way, among the dead, we excluded the members of the National Assembly who were caught stealing military payments, so don’t worry.]

“Well, they are tax thieves, so it’s not enough to dig up graves and act as lieutenants. Well done.”

[Anyway, what’s going on?]

“That’s right…”

I told the story of Agape and the warrior I met here. He also said that he would likely have to rest longer than expected before returning.

It was a sudden vacation extension news, but Zion seemed to welcome it. When I think about it, I was told to take a break during this vacation, but I told myself I would take more rest.

[That’s good news. Anyway, nothing much has happened here, so there is no problem with taking some more rest.]

“The only problem is that I’m taking more breaks than I promised…”

[After all, you have already done something, so public opinion will not suffer if you take more time off. If you’re really worried, you can just pick something up on your way back.]

“You’re picking it up?”

[If there is anything helpful in this regard, wouldn’t it be possible to overcome the public opinion issue by going on a long vacation? Anyway, do whatever you want and rest well.]

“Okay, thank you.”

Instead of extending your vacation, you should take something. Is there anything like that?

If I was going to take it, I had to take something that would be socially helpful. There was a necklace that I received from the God of Amya, but it was given to me by Eden, and even if Eden was an individual, it was not an item that would be helpful to Korea as a whole.

Is there something there… A monster by-product? Hmm, I guess I can find that if I look for it. On the other hand, the Holy Light God side feels like a divine power or blessing given to humans, so there isn’t much magic, and considering that there is already a magic engineering education city in Mary over there, so there is no problem, there is nothing to come out unless it is a real monster.

I decided to think about it later. There is a time gap of about a week over there and a little less than a month over here, so there is plenty of time to think.

Anyway, after that, the full-fledged cohabitation of the Demon King and the Hero began. We fought a lot from the beginning, so our relationship wasn’t very good, but at least we didn’t argue and fight at home.

“I have to endure it until I can win.”

“It’s amazing that you have developed patience. As expected, the hawk was the answer.”

Once he had received true education from the warrior, he did not attack him recklessly even though there was a condition that he could win. Likewise, a warrior will remain agape until he or she makes a decision, so it appears that there is some degree of goodness.

Vacations have also increased, so we need to teach them both properly. Although it was an ambiguous situation to favor anyone, Agape had to provide physical training and the warrior had to provide mental care, so the workload increased several times.

“The Agape training schedule and plan will proceed as usual… The warrior will need mental care and sufficient rest. Is there a place to rest nearby? It’s a bit difficult to swim in the lake here.”

“Playing in the water?”

“Swimming and playing. Is there a river or something nearby other than the lake here?”

“There is!!!! There is a place with cold water and a place with hot water!!!”

“Hot water? Oh, is it a hot spring? I have to go there sometime.”

If there’s a hot spring, it’s nice to take a hot bath. Moreover, given the situation here, there would be no people because there were so many monsters, so it would be a hot spring that only we could enjoy.

That came to mind, so I put it into my plan and trained hard in the morning to get into the best condition to go to the hot springs in the afternoon. Honestly, wouldn’t you feel bad if you went into hot water after sweating and warmed up your body?

The warrior also participated in some training. While he was sparring with Agape with a wooden sword he had made separately… Oh, he did not use divine power instead. He did not use armor or wings made of light, but only used his abilities as a sword master.

“What I use is a sacred method that receives and uses the sacred power of the Holy Light God. It is the Holy Light God’s blessing that can be used in various ways, such as for defense, offense, and recovery.”

“Utility is no joke. Agape, don’t you have something like that?”

“Ugh… I can breathe fire!!!!”

“Breath? That’s not bad either.”

“I can shoot beams of light from my sword?!”

No, I said that you can be summoned as a servant in a gacha mangame!!!!!

First, if they fought using only their abilities as a pure sword master and not other abilities, the hero’s skill was slightly superior to that of the two. Of course, if you become that skilled, the gap is big, so Agape had to work hard to make up the gap.

What’s more, there are also abilities. He is still a long way from being a warrior.

Anyway, we took what we needed and headed to enjoy the hot springs. Since I was going to go in wearing light clothes, I didn’t need to bring a separate partition or anything like that, so I didn’t have that much luggage.

A little below the summit of the Sky Mountains. Near the upstream, a hot spring was gushing and steaming, giving off a unique hot spring smell. Among the monsters, there were monsters that hated the smell, but there were also monsters that sometimes enjoyed bathing in hot springs.

“We’ll use it, so come later.”

“Wow!!”

A monkey, if I were to be specific, a monkey-like monster the size of a gorilla, left the hot springs, crying as if it had found out. When I look at it, it reminds me of monkeys bathing in hot springs in Japan. The size is about dozens of times different.

The hero’s eyes trembled when he saw Agape naming and handling the monster. There is transformation, but the most important power as a demon king is the ability to dominate the demons and use them like an army, and this is because he can be confident without leaving any room for it.

“The devil…”

“You’ll think about that later. You’ll feel uncomfortable from moving and sweating in the morning, so take a shower right away. Here, just forget about being a hero or anything like that, think of it as a vacation, and get some rest.”

“Ah… Yes.”

Since I was already wearing separate clothes, I was able to enter the hot spring right away by taking off just one layer of my outer clothes. With Horizon, you can make swimsuits on the spot and airlift them in, but even if they are suitable for children, you cannot wear them in a situation where there is no concept of a swimsuit.

Back in the olden days, when bikini swimsuits first came out, they were said to be unconventional even though they had a wider area than today’s bikinis. What would happen if you wear something like that here, where there are no swimsuits? So, it is enough to wear light clothes instead of a swimsuit.

“Dive!!!!”

Plop!!!!!

Agape took off his outer clothes and soon threw himself into the hot spring and dived. Although she is small, she dives with her weight, so the water column rises due to the recoil.

Agape seemed to feel good as she moved around and soaked in the hot water, splashing around and swimming in the hot spring as if it were her own home. She was never taught how to swim, but it seems to have been something she learned naturally while living in the wild.

“Uh huh, it’s not like you’re splashing around like that in the washing area.”

“Isn’t there anyone else?”

“It’s better because it’s just us, but can’t we do that in other places?”

“Okay!!!!”

Perhaps because it is a natural hot spring, it is quite deep. It’s not just deep enough to sit and take a dip, but it’s deep enough to even swim. Probably around the waist of an adult man. Agape is fine because she knows how to swim, but she still needs to pile up rocks or something to make space for her feet to reach.

The warrior also seemed to want to come in after seeing the hot spring, but he seemed to be scared of something and just soaked his feet nearby. It’s said to be somewhat deep, but considering the hero’s height, it’s not that deep. What is it?

“Are you not good at swimming?”

“Huh? Ah, yes… I’ve never learned how to swim, and I’ve never been in water deeper than a bathtub.”

“What did these people at the Holy Light Temple do without even teaching them the basics? Really…”

“Well, at the temple, I only learned training and fighting. So I didn’t have time to learn things like swimming, but if I use holy techniques, I can somehow manage.”

“There is no need to use sacred techniques to swim. Let’s just take this opportunity to learn.”

I went into the hot springs with the hero and taught him how to swim. If you learn how to kick your feet and use your arms, you can move freely in the water to some extent, and even warriors learn quickly, so it doesn’t take long to learn how to swim.

Even if you practice holding hands and kicking feet, after a while, you will be able to swim on your own to some extent, like a child who can take off the training wheels and ride a bicycle.

“Whoa… Is it okay to does it like this?”

“You learn quickly. Yes, that’s how you swim.”

“The hero can’t swim. Then this time it’s an underwater battle!!!!!”

“Now, wait a minute?! That’s lethal… Appuuppu!!!!!”

Agape underwent transformation and changed its body into a body suitable for swimming. She made things like gills to allow her to breathe underwater, and created webs on her hands and feet to allow her to swim with faster propulsion, toying with the warrior in the water.

Since I had just learned how to swim, I couldn’t defeat Agape, who was literally at the level of a sea monster, but the water wasn’t that deep, so it wasn’t too dangerous or anything like that. Still, if it was really an underwater battle, wouldn’t it be quite possible for Agape to defeat the warrior?

I piled stones on the bottom of one side of the hot spring to create a low water area where I could sit and enjoy the hot spring. I enjoyed the hot spring there leisurely. Agape must have felt quite relieved after drinking the warrior for a while, and like Jaws, he slowly swam to my side.

“What’s wrong? Did you all have fun?”

“Show me your dick!!!!”

“No, what did he do last time I saw him?!?!?”

“Show me your dick again!!!!”

“I’m not going to tell you to speak differently!!! And there are other people in front of you!!!!”

Although he is said to be older than Agape, the warrior is also a minor. What would I look like if I asked him to show it to me in front of a kid like that?! What I asked to see was Agape, but anyway!!!!

I was secretly watching the warrior’s thoughts, but the warrior only expressed doubt as if he knew nothing.

“What is a penis?”

“Oh my god.”

He is incredibly strong for his age, so I think the Holy Light Temple put a lot of effort into raising warriors, but isn’t it a bit too much to not teach them the basics of being human? At least I knew that agape is also mating.

The hero’s frustrating sexual knowledge…!!!!
