Kidnapping the Hero Party

60. Sick Mister! Let’s take care of the uncle! (6)

60. Sick Mister! Let’s take care of the uncle! (6)

“ruler! Let’s go to the market! Just follow me!”

“Baby, kid? What is this necklace on my neck? Am I not a dog?”

“quiet. Estiya, your name is Gastiya from today.”

With Luna’s confident voice in the lead, the noisy children left for the market with courage.

Since there were no children, the house was chaotic.

I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

“It’s quiet now… ”

noisy guys.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had time alone.

Until I kidnapped them, I lived alone in this quiet house.

It had been a long time since such a quiet house.

“tt, if the hero party all grow up and leave, you will always be able to feel this kind of happiness… Minerva?”

[Why, Jun-woo? Is there anything you want to say?]

[One. have.]

[2. none.]

“number 1. I have something to say. No, I want to ask a question. When does the hero party leave this place?”

Exactly when will the children finish growing up and be able to defeat the Demon King?

I wanted to know it through Minerva.

There is a difference between seeing the end and not seeing the end.

However, Minerva, who sent the question again, seemed unwilling to answer me.

[That is a difficult question to answer. Unconfirmed futures are piled up in a pile, and the latest edition of the ‘Junwoo Lee’s Future’ series hasn’t been published yet. So… ]

[One. I have a cold, so lie down! you idiot!]

[2. Sit still while the kids buy the ingredients! you stupid!]

“… They both say the same thing. number 1.”

anyway.

In the end, to sum up Minerva’s words, the future of the Hero Party is still unclear.

Although we have reached the theory of confrontation to defeat the Demon King, it would be convenient to view the various events that exist within it as unconfirmed circumstances.

Among them, Saten’s death must also be included.

After all, the more I think about the future, the more complicated it gets.

“… Damn, my head hurts more… ”

Did I just have a complicated idea?

I feel a cold sweat running down my hot body and cheeks, and my eyes are slowly closing.

As consciousness began to fade, I spoke to Minerva one last time before going to sleep.

“… Minerva. I have one last request.”

[Request? What request?]

[One. What?]

[2. what is that?]

“I’ll be sleeping anyway, so nothing’s going to happen, so use your powers to monitor the hero’s party. If something dangerous happens, I can help you a little.”

It’s a very simple errand to go to the market and buy ingredients for food, but…

I couldn’t believe it when I remembered the hero’s party that was cooking.

On the contrary, I was so anxious that I couldn’t get a proper rest.

So, if Minerva watches over the hero’s party, I’ll be able to sleep a little more comfortably.

Minerva answered my request, but in a slightly blunt tone.

[How fun it is to see Jun-woo sleeping! But okay. I’ll watch over you… ]

[One. I’m just watching.]

[2. But, whatever happens. I’m not going to help. It’s unbelievable at the hero’s party, but since there are criminals with us, it’ll be fine. He’s on our side anyway.]

“Yes, thank you. Minerva.”

So now I

It would be okay if I could sleep a little more comfortably…

Minerva is watching from afar.

After an hour of worrying, I slowly closed my eyes.

It had been a long time since I slept in the quiet air.

“… It’s so quiet.”

For some reason, I felt a little empty.

***

In the middle of a bustling market.

Luna, wearing a hoodie, looked up at the sky and shouted.

“There’s an owl on the roof over there! It’s huge!”

“Boo, can owls eat… ?”

“I think it would be good to use it as an experiment material.”

“Hey guys? That owl has become an owl, can you loosen the chains around my neck?!”

Of course, each other’s feelings when they saw the owl were very different.

Saten controls Estiya’s leash, who is in danger of escaping.

As she led Estiya, she beckoned to the shop in the distance.

“There it is. Mapamu’s vegetable shop. What do we have to buy over there, Hare?”

“I need to buy greens and vegetables… ”

“That’s not it. What kind of vegetables should I buy? What is written on the note? Do you not know how to read?”

“Oh no! I can read this… ! Everything, carrots… green onion… It says !… ”

carrots and green onions.

With the ingredients in his head, Saten walked over to the vegetable shop.

Then, facing Mapamu, the owner of the vegetable shop, he shouted confidently.

“Give me carrots and green onions.”

The tone of which there is not even an inch of doubt.

Mapamu, the owner of the vegetable shop, replied sarcastically.

“Yes? Carrots and green onions? How much will you give me?”

“… “

how much… ?

Saten was blocked by a high wall from the start.

Her pupils trembled slightly, and she looked back and asked.

“… How many carrots and green onions should I buy? Isn’t that written down?”

Hare buried her eyes in the note and checked the writing.

However, the vegetables to buy were listed as carrots and parsley, and the number was not listed wherever I looked.

“There is no such thing… ? Uh, what should I do… ? Me and I don’t know how much to buy… ”

“That’s a really unhelpful answer. Then Luna? What do you think?”

“Uh… ”

Luna thought for a moment.

Then, as if he had a good idea, he responded with a flash of light.

“Because five people will eat! Wouldn’t it be nice to buy 5 of them!?”

“… ”

“… ”

5 carrots.

5 green onions

One carrot and one green onion was enough for the five servings of porridge Lee Jun-woo wanted to make.

I thought, aren’t there too many children?

‘I have persuasion… ?’

Luna’s words had a terrifying power of persuasion to children who knew nothing.

“I, I picked up and ate carrot tails long ago… ! Oh, when the old man cooks… You put in a lot of ingredients… ! No, I think you’re right… ! ”

“I agree. One piece of meat per person. I couldn’t eat properly, but in my family, there was a lot of single servings.”

“Hey, there’s a skewer over there… delicious… Hi-Hi… ”

3 people excluding Estiya who were invalid.

agree!

At that voice, Mapamu smiled cheerfully.

“you! Looks like you’re going to have a big party today! ha ha! Good luck!!”

In the end, the Hero party took care of Mapamu’s wallet.

Not knowing that something was wrong, they left for their next destination with satisfied smiles.

“Where next! where are you!?”

“All right, next… Pam’s Seafood Shop… overturned in… ”

“You’re buying everything! let’s go! let’s go!”

After all, he has a lot of money!

exciting!

Luna.

And then, the hero party that followed.

So they completed the errands one by one, and moved forward.

But…

“Children in hoodies. One is a leash… ? Is it a slave… ? By the way, he might be among those guys… ”

Tuck- Tuck-

A mysterious shadow walks after them, crumpling the paper with the images of Saten and Estiya.

Footsteps were blatantly chasing them.

***

“Wow, it’s heavy… You’ve always lifted something so heavy… !?”

“From now on, I and I will follow you… ”

heavy.

It’s incredibly heavy!

A party of warriors who purchased all food ingredients and completed errands.

Once you return home, the mission is complete.

Packing their bags in both hands, the party of warriors started walking towards the house.

Among them, Estiya, who wore a leash and exuded a slave-like atmosphere, shouted in an exhausted tone.

“hey… ! by the way… ! Where is your house… ! Right in this direction… ?”

“Eh, I don’t know that! I’m just going forward!”

“You don’t know, why are you at the front!”

“Ah, I wonder if it will come out if I go forward! Hehe!”

Luna shouted proudly.

Hare threw Luna behind and stepped forward.

“Get out of the way… Hey, I know the way… I learned how to draw a map with my head from you… ”

“As expected, Hare! In fact, I didn’t know anything about it, but I believed it!”

Estiya drank holy water at Luna’s absurd behavior.

“… I will definitely escape from here and live in holy water for the rest of my life… Hehehe… ”

“That is impossible. Uncle will never let you go.”

“Sigh, noisy! Don’t destroy my dreams! Why do you guys like kidnappers!”

Estiya could not understand this situation.

No, I was kidnapped, so why do I like kidnappers?

He feeds me well, educates me, doesn’t experiment, makes me sleep, so why the hell is this kidnapper…

“what! Come to think of it, it seems good except for not giving holy water… !”

It might be pretty good… !

Estiya walked alone with deep contemplation.

The two hands full of food ingredients were heavy, but not so much that I couldn’t hear them.

So, the party of heroes got closer and closer towards the mission accomplished.

and that moment.

“… Wait, can you stop walking and take off your hood?”

The hard voice of the knight from the front interrupted them.

A tall, hooded figure, but a stranger who exudes an aura that seems to have trained his body.

Luna shouted as she remembered the past.

“Are you trying to kidnap us!?”

A deserted alley.

who suddenly appeared.

Luna, who remembered the kidnapping PTSD, stiffened her body.

However, for some reason, Luna remembered hearing the voice of a stranger in front of her somewhere.

‘Where did you hear that… ?’

Obviously, it hasn’t been that long… ?

The moment when such a question floats in your head.

The unfamiliar woman made a sound of shoes and slowly approached the hero’s party.

She called the names of the abducted children.

“Sicilia Saten, and Estiya.”

Saten and Estiya.

Names of children on the abduction list.

Upon hearing that sound, Estiya guessed that salvation had finally come to him.

Estiya took off her hood and shouted gladly.

“right! I’m Estie!! It’s Estiya who will become the saint of the church!! Save me right now!!”

“This, this coward… ! Ah, the old man’s favor like this… !”

“shut up! I will return to the arms of the Holy Beast… !!”

Estiya wants to return to the arms of the holy beast, not the arms of the goddess.

Estiya reached out to the woman asking for help, but…

widely-!

“Put your hand in. You can’t run away without Daddy’s permission.”

“Uh, uh-!! Loosen the leash faster than that-!!”

“It’s noisy. than that… ”

Hare.

You know what to do next, right?

Saten and Hare exchanged glances with each other.

While conducting the uncle study, there was a part that I could relate to without saying anything,

I knew what to do in this situation.

“Then, the destination is home.”

“That, yes… !”

A party of heroes facing strangers.

Saten wears Estiya’s leash.

Hare held Luna’s hand.

Thinking the same thing, they split in two and started running away.

But…

“why! Why are you chasing us that person!! There are wanted kids over there-!!”

“Mom, I don’t know… ! I, that guy is so fast… !”

It’s like my uncle… !!

For some reason, the stranger is not the wanted Saten and Estiya.

He was chasing the hero Luna and the thief Hare.

It was completely incomprehensible.
