The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated

35 – The Last Hero (5)

“Are you kidding me?”

At first, the party members were hoping that the hero Jax would have something constructive to talk about because he spoke of the hero party’s bond.

He’s quite dark-hearted, but he’s still a hero, so I watched it again and thought he was thinking about a hero’s party.

But what on earth does this mean?

There is a hot spring village nearby, so why not go there for a mixed bath?

“I don’t want to die…!!!”

The opposition from the warrior party members was fierce.

Are you saying that now?

A party of grown men and women, and a party of warriors who are supposed to defeat the devil and protect the world, are doing something like mixed bathing in a hot spring village.

These were things they could never accept.

“You can’t go. This isn’t a party gathered to do something like that, hero. We weren’t going to talk, so please show some restraint.”

I had no choice but to speak bitterly towards the hero.

No matter how much they need to impress the hero and think this is their last chance, there are things they can and cannot do.

They were warrior party members, not prostitutes.

A request like this will never be granted.

“Please. Please come with me just once.”

Opposition from party members was fierce.

I refused, saying absolutely nothing. Since you’ve reacted like this, you’re probably going to give up, right?

The party members thought that the hero would soon quit, but the opposite was true.

The hero began to make even stronger requests to the party members.

“Please, this is my lifelong wish. Please really. I won’t ask for anything else.”

I ask you to go just once.

He asked me to do just that and that I would complete all the tasks I had to do as a warrior.

“No way. Never…! I’ll never do something like mixed bathing!”

“I’m asking you for a lifelong wish. It’s essential for the bond between our hero party, right?”

“I can’t do it…!!”

Well, there are all these heroes.

Of course, there was no way the party members would allow it.

The hero begged for mixed bathing once, and the bickering between the party members, who desperately opposed it, continued.

“I have completed the request here.”

Some time has passed since Aji’s estrus period.

Aji received my training diligently, and now has the skills to complete the quest on her own.

Moreover, she is now able to handle the process of receiving and completing requests on her own.

It was worth teaching hard…

I was somewhat thrilled by Aji’s growth.

‘It’s still not enough… But I’ll learn something.’

Well, of course it wasn’t perfect or anything like that.

Some of the high-difficulty quests were still too much for me, and I wasn’t very good at selecting quests from the guild.

If you work as an adventurer who receives requests from a guild, you will inevitably suffer greatly due to your shortcomings.

No, there will definitely be days when you suffer.

There’s no way I wouldn’t get scammed while working in a guild and be so immature.

But, I think they will get over that on their own.

I have already taught Aji all the basics and trained her to the point where she would get back up again even if she got hit a little.

If this is the case, there will be no problem living as an adventurer.

‘Should I leave now?’

Then isn’t my business done?

I was able to complete everything I had originally planned.

Even if I leave, you won’t starve to death.

Then I had to leave now.

It’s been quite a while since I left the village, but now I really might have to go back.

If I’m any later, they might think I’ve left and have to clean up my house in the village.

No… We couldn’t rule out the possibility that it had already been sorted out.

I really have to leave.

“What are you thinking?”

As I was measuring the escape angle, Aji tilted her head and asked me.

What are you thinking about right now?

I wondered if I should be honest with him when I saw him like that, but I also quit.

“Hmm…”

Wouldn’t it be better not to tell Aji?

There is nothing good to be said for no reason.

Aji was following me quite a bit now.

It was obvious that if I told him I was leaving, he would probably try to follow me.

In times like this, it would be better to just leave quietly without saying anything.

I’m sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, but there will never be another farewell as clean as this.

“It’s nothing. Aji. Let’s go get something to eat.”

“Yes.”

I managed my facial expression as if it was really nothing.

Then, I took Aji and headed to the restaurant.

And on the way, Oops! And stopped.

“I’m going to stop by the village for a moment. I’m ordering food.”

“Huh? Why the village?”

“Well, there’s something I need to buy.”

“Okay. I’ll just order it.”

Of course, it was a lie.

From noble mtl dot com

There was nothing necessary to buy in the village.

Without knowing that Aji had been deceived by me, she entered the inn.

And then he started ordering various kinds of food as I told him to.

“Take care of yourself.”

Seeing Aji like that, I set off to find my own path.

To prevent Aji from smelling me, I sprayed a lot of perfume that I had prepared in advance.

If you just smell something and chase after it, you’re in trouble, right?

With this, even if they notice I’m gone, they won’t be able to come after me anymore.

‘We will meet again someday. What.’

To be honest, maybe it was because I was affectionate, but it wasn’t that I didn’t feel regretful…

Well, if you live on this continent, you might meet one at least once.

I don’t think it will matter even if we can’t meet.

Take care of yourself. Ahjiya.

“Please. I’m begging you. Please… Please give me mixed bathing just once. Ugh…”

“I can’t.”

The fight between the party members and Jacks continued for 30 minutes.

There was nothing particularly logical about it.

There were only those who asked for it unconditionally and those who said that it could never be done.

However, such arguments could not continue forever.

They were a warrior party. I wasn’t free enough to have this pointless argument.

“Ha… Then, Hero Jax, I promise. If you visit the hot spring village once, I will really go there to defeat the Demon King.”

In the end, it was the party members who raised the white flag.

If this continues, we will not be able to defeat the Demon King.

Furthermore, the current position of the party members was quite poor.

If they had been in their first warrior days, they would not have agreed to this request even if they died.

Because they had quite high self-esteem at that time.

But, not now. After the heroes failed one after another, their self-esteem was severely damaged.

Because of that, I had no choice but to make concessions.

“Okay, I promise. Thank you so much.”

Jax, who finally received approval from the party members, was quite happy.

It was quite a feat for him to be able to take a mixed bath in a hot spring with beautiful party members.

He was quite happy, as if he had the whole world.

“But we’ll do it in swimsuits.”

“Su… Swimsuit?”

However, there was inevitably silence for a moment.

The party members agreed to go, but placed a condition.

I won’t show my naked body.

Jacks looked very disappointed at those words.

No… When it came to mixed bathing, it was mixed bathing. Why is there a swimsuit…?

“This is also a big concession. Otherwise, I would never allow mixed bathing.”

However, the party members had no intention of yielding any more.

There was no death.

This was also a big concession.

The women desperately resisted, saying that wearing swimsuits and mixed bathing was their last line of defense.

“Okay, I understand. Let’s go to the hot spring village…!”

There is no choice…

Jax had no choice but to agree.

If he went any further than this, it would obviously have an adverse effect.

Still, Jax was satisfied as he said that he ended up bathing together with the party members.

‘Ha… Why do I have to be stressed about something like this?’

I ended up having mixed bathing with Jax.

Although it was a condition of wearing a swimsuit, honestly, the party members felt a strong sense of self-destruction.

Math-bathing with the Jax warrior was itself a very self-destructive problem, but there was something even more serious.

It was very difficult to even argue over such an issue.

Still, it seems like Herald and Lee Han-soo really tried their best as warriors…

Why don’t the warriors after that behave like warriors?

The fact that I have to trust such a hero makes me so sad.

‘This hero can defeat the Demon King, right?’

To be honest, the party members don’t really trust this hero.

The other warriors were equally untrustworthy.

Jax’s hero felt even more unreliable.

So far, three heroes have failed to subdue the demon lord. Will this hero be able to succeed in subduing the demon lord?

Currently, the party members are not saying anything because of their sense of duty to kill the Demon King.

I continued to harbor doubts deep in my heart.

Furthermore, no matter how much you inherited the blood of a sword saint, you were still weaker than other warriors…

It didn’t seem like it would ever be strong.

“Kids… What do you think about just escaping?”

In the end, we had no choice but to have a serious discussion without Jax’s knowledge, starting with the words of Luna, the wizard of the warrior party who could not stand it anymore.

If things continue like this, something bad will definitely happen again.
