Kidnapping the Hero Party

62. Sick Mister! Let’s take care of uncle! (8) +Irina’s past

62. Sick Mister! Let’s take care of uncle! (8)

When I saw the ingredients in the kitchen that my children bought.

I couldn’t help but panic.

I was told to buy the ingredients, but…

Originally only 5 people would eat it, so why did they buy so many?

“Collock-Saten… Did you check the note I wrote… ? Can you explain a little about this large amount of ingredients… ”

“Hmm, the number was not written on the note, so 5 carrots, 5 green onions, and 5 abalones. I adjusted the amount to 1 per person. Any problem?”

“… ”

Did I misjudge?

I thought I would only buy one if I didn’t write down the number…

I didn’t recognize that each person’s growth environment was different and common sense was different.

However, to say that they ran an errand wrong, the children are making too proud faces…

‘… Next time, I’ll have to write down the number unconditionally.’

I can’t tell the truth from the look on your face that you’ve completed that mission.

I decided to pat the kids on the head and compliment them on their errands.

“Good work, Luna.”

“Don’t pet me! I am not that child!”

Luna’s mouth rejected the hand, but her head didn’t.

“Nice job, Hare.”

“Hehehe… I did my best for my uncle… ”

Hare quietly closed her eyes and quietly received praise.

“Saten, you did a good job too.”

“not really. It wasn’t hard. It was too easy for me.”

Even if there are errors, success is success…

I decided not to break Saten’s nose by telling the truth.

Saten accepted my hand with an expressionless expression.

Next, Estiya…

“brother-!! Release this right now! ”

Kreureung-!!

I felt like I had turned into a dog because I was on a leash.

Estiya growled like a hound and was wary.

It wouldn’t really help the hero party, but I can’t leave it alone, so I stroked my hair for the first time.

By stroking Estiya’s hair, strangely, she calmed down to some extent.

So much so that I doubt that he really turned into a dog.

‘If you drink holy water, you actually become a dog… ‘

well, by the way

I’ll have to cook before my condition gets worse.

In the restaurant, Irina is waiting to interrogate me.

Undoing Estiya’s leash, I said quietly to the children.

“Wait outside while the food is prepared… It’s okay to talk to Irina outside… ”

“I’ll be in the kitchen anyway, so I’ll stay in my room.”

“De, you are finally free! Hee hee, I’m going to ask that sister for help! You bad brother!”

Oh Do Do-

Saten and Estiya went outside as I said.

Luna and Hare continued to remain in the kitchen.

Both had knives in their hands.

It looked like it was trying to help me.

“I will help too! I’ve ever sliced vegetables with my parents!”

“I-I don’t know how to do it… I’ll try this… !”

“… Thank you for helping me.”

Chopping vegetables saves a lot of time.

Luna and Hare’s help was significant.

That’s how I got help from the hero party I had to help.

Together with Luna and Hare, I made 6 servings of abalone porridge, showing how to prepare ingredients and recipes for food.

and.

“In the world I lived in, when there were sick people. I used to eat abalone porridge.”

“Ugh! I remembered it! If you get sick next time-“

“Lu, not Luna! I’ll make it for you, Mister… ! I, I can make it better… !”

“Don’t steal my words! This thief!”

“… Just make it together.”

The fact that the kitchen can also be a place of learning.

I felt a vague sense of enlightenment.

***

Today is an important day for guests.

My party and I gathered at a restaurant where we could dine together, and we ate the freshly made hot abalone porridge.

If you look at the ratio of ingredients except for the odd thing, it could be seen that the meal was not very bad.

Irina, who emptied the bowl quickly, spoke to me in a contented tone.

“Jun, it’s been a while since I’ve eaten your food. The taste wasn’t bad either. No, it’s rather delicious.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“And the most surprising thing is that. At that time, when I first fell ill. It tastes like the one you fed me.”

Nothing has changed since then.

It reminds me of the taste I ate in the past.

Saying that, Irina pointed at the bowl with her spoon.

“Except for the fact that there are way too many ingredients compared to rice.”

“… ”

It couldn’t be helped.

If you pile it up, the freshness of the food will decrease and it will spoil.

I played a joke on Irina, who seemed to be relieved of tension.

“… Eat a lot. You are a knight.”

“… yes i am a knight You have to be tough.”

food-

Irina smiled pleasantly, probably soaked in the taste of the past.

However, his eyes looked sad.

Perhaps, she too misses the past.

“by the way… Now let’s get to the main point. You are not Jun, who was my colleague in the past, but one of the citizens of the Empire. He is a kidnapper who kidnaps sons and daughters of aristocratic families and prospective saints of the church. So, you will have to explain it well, lest I arrest you.”

Irina changed her gaze and looked directly into my eyes.

Main subject.

It is the whole story and conclusion about the kidnapping.

If it had been Irina, my colleague, until just now.

Currently, Irina is the leader of the Sylvester Knights.

“Irina.”

“… Why are you calling me?”

“You are free as long as you believe. Instead, just remember one thing.”

I won’t tell a single lie from now on.

Seeing Irina nod her head at those words.

things that have happened so far.

Hiding what needs to be hidden as much as possible.

I explained to her what had happened so far.

***

“… It happened. Resurrection of the Hero party. And, the encounter with the Demon King… I could understand why you kidnapped the children. Rather, I want to commend you for doing a good job. The black crow and the church were so rotten… ”

Although there were a few empty places in the description.

Irina knew from the past that there were circumstances in which I could not speak, so after hearing the explanation, it seemed that she understood everything.

‘… Should I consider it fortunate?’

Irina was convinced, the momentum that had been putting pressure on me was lifted.

Now you will be able to see her returned to her fellow Irina.

‘By the way, how did the kids take it… ‘

I checked the reaction of the Brave Party who heard my story.

“Ugh, that’s what happened!”

“Hey, I was a thief… Mo, it’s a fact I didn’t know… !”

“You’re a wizard, you’ve got a lot of trouble.”

“I… lady… ? A saint who saves the world with holy water… ?”

… It seemed that each part of us accepted something, but it was different.

They seemed to recognize that they were a party of heroes, and that each had a role.

I haven’t yet realized how heavy the responsibility of that role is.

Irina, who was contemplating tapping the desk with her finger, asked me if she had finished organizing her thoughts.

“Don’t admit it. Your abduction is justified. A cause to save the world. It’s for the sake of the empire, so I won’t punish you.”

… I didn’t even think of that in the first place.

Perhaps it was embarrassing, Irina whispered so quietly that I could barely hear.

“By the way, Jun. A lot has happened in the meantime. Then when we met at the banquet hall, why didn’t you ask for my help?”

“It’s been a while since we met. then… ”

I didn’t want to see that person from the past.

It was locked in the past.

The memory came back and I didn’t want to see him.

But now, memories of the past are the reason for my life.

Only now could I face Irina properly.

Irina gave me a sad smile, knowing that my expression had darkened.

“… It could be the law. I also don’t want to face the bad things of the past. For example, at that time-“

“Goblin Cave?”

“That, that… ! That’s me, never say… !”

Goblin’s Cave.

A four-person party when there were no porters.

The newly formed party had once entered the dungeon inhabited by goblins.

There was a scene where small goblins gathered and brutally killed people.

I often saw Aina’s experiments at that time, and I wasn’t particularly impressed by the more brutal ones…

‘Ju, Joo-woon… Whoops… ! wow… !! Now, wait… waiting… ‘

‘Kiik-? Kiek-!?’

Goblins flock to the smell of Irina’s spilled liquid on the floor.

Our party battled, but Irina was unconscious with her back against the wall.

An aristocratic lady who ran away from the Sylvester family and dreamed of becoming an adventurer.

That was the first meeting between Irina and I.

“I would have been kicked out of the party if I hadn’t had a lot of money from my family… ”

“I did a lot of knight training in my family, but… ! I’ve never seen such a brutal scene… ! That’s why… ! I’m sorry, didn’t you tell me about swordsmanship… !”

“… Sure, I learned well. Now, Luna is also learning that swordsmanship. Cologne-“

“Learning the swordsmanship of the Knights of Sylvester… ? That sounds good… ”

At that sound, Irina’s face turned red.

How serious are you with your knights?

When I was 20, I ran away because I hated my family.

When I went back in, the knights were good.

Irina’s way of thinking was incomprehensible.

Talking about the past with Irina like that makes the story blossom.

I didn’t even care about the kids’ reactions.

Is it because of that?

“Talking about what only they know… ! Not funny! Not funny!”

“We have a lot to talk about… Ah, uncle… ! Do you remember that time… !? The day my uncle saved me… ! I really liked it then… !!”

Did you talk too much about us?

Saten and Estiya had disappeared from the restaurant, and it seemed only Luna and Hare were left listening to our conversation.

You don’t have to listen…

“Why don’t you guys go in? You may go in.”

“Sir, no! If you get farther away, the holy sword will talk to you and hate it! I never want to stick around!”

“I was afraid he might fall… ! Go, care… ! I’m taking care of you… !”

While bluntly inflating the ball.

The words are quite long.

Was it because we talked without knowing the passage of time?

When the flow stopped for a while, I felt bad for my body.

Irina took turns looking at me and the children for a moment, then stood up.

“Well, that would have been it. I’ve been busy researching Hippo and Luna, so I have to go now.”

“… okay.”

“Thank you for the information about the Sicilian family and the denomination. Later, when you feel better, come back and have a drink.”

alcohol.

Come to think of it, Irina and I never drank alone.

The monks didn’t originally drink, but if they did, they always drank it together with Aina and Irina until they died.

If we meet later, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the two of us to have a drink.

“I said no! Uncle, I’ve been drinking!”

“No, that’s right… ! He doesn’t like alcohol… !”

“I know you are a big fan… Am I wrong?”

“Wrong! Wrong answer!”

… I hate Luna and Hare.

I had no particular reason to refuse, so I sent a positive sign to Irina.

So I went out to the front door to see Irina off.

Seeing Irina saying it’s okay now, I said my last goodbye.

“… Don’t sound like a harem. go now I live hard in the capital.”

“Yes, Jun. Don’t get hurt, and cherish your body. and… ”

“and?”

“… It is nothing. I will go.”

Irina turned her head with a bitter smile.

As if to run away, he disappeared and disappeared.

What the hell were you trying to say?

I didn’t know what Irina’s silver eyes were trying to say.

so…

“… I should go to my room and rest.”

“I’ll give you my arm!”

“I’ll catch you too… !”

I headed to my room, receiving some kind of support from the children, to rest until my body recovered.

Talking to Irina, a former colleague after a long time.

It wasn’t a bad feeling.

***+Past.

Aina and Irina.

And Lee Jun-woo drank alcohol with the bonfire as a light.

Until someone dies-

It was like fighting each other’s pride.

“Joowoon! This disciple child~!! How dare you try to surpass your master~!! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 You can’t beat me-!! uh, uh… !!”

dump-

Aina fell to the floor after a fierce battle.

However, Aina was talking while looking at Lee Jun-woo, who had already become a corpse.

He was so drunk that he forgot that Jun-woo Lee had died from alcohol.

“… After all, I am left alone.”

Whoo…

You drank quite a bit today.

If you do this, your belly fat will rise little by little…

“… I envy Aina. Even if I drink a lot, I don’t get steamy, and I always maintain that shape… ”

Aina will never understand my plight.

And, my feelings of having to watch them all the time.

you’ll never understand

Irina watched Lee Jun-woo lying on the floor with a bitter smile.

“A strange man. Why is it that a man with nothing like you catches my eye rather than an idiot who installs them because they are aristocrats? You can’t understand it at all.”

June, whom I have seen for a long time.

I knew he was a good man.

However, he was unaware of the fact that it continued to permeate his heart.

Irina was both happy and sad about this heart-thumping situation.

It’s a pathetic love that only one person has a set partner for.

“… Heaven must be asking me to dream of chivalry, where I don’t need a lover.”

Lee Jun-woo, who is drunk and sleeps quietly.

Irina slowly approaches his cheek, now he can’t hear.

He said something sincere while drunk.

“what if… Without Aina… Did you and me come true… I wonder… ”

It’s all useless though.

I’ve only thought about it once.

Saying that, Irina gently placed her palm on Lee Jun-woo’s cheek.

“After all, it can’t be done alone… ”

A person has a fixed mate.

after that day.

Irina continues to fold her unfolding heart.

He vowed to only walk the path of a strong knight.
