The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

37 – 037.Lebron, city of gladiators

After many twists and turns, the bridge was completed, and we were finally able to get on the carriage to Lebron.

Due to staying in the previous village for quite a long time, there were numerous incidents and changes.

The biggest change among them was that Renee and Lynn stopped fighting openly.

“Bern! What town are you going to this time?”

“It’s called Lebron, so it’s one of the three famous pleasure cities in the kingdom.”

“A city of pleasure?”

“huh. Lebron is the only one with the largest arena, where gladiator fights are held every day. Spectators go crazy watching gladiators fight, and gladiators gain wealth and honor through victory. But I have to risk my life instead.”

“It is a scary place.”

“If you don’t have that level of skill, you can’t be a gladiator. In any case, people in Lebron are mostly wild, so be careful.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I will take care of those who quarrel with the teacher.”

Rin hugged my left arm tightly while saying his trustworthy words.

Renee, who watched the scene, was also surprised and hugged her right arm.

A complex and subtle war of nerves came and went between the two, but they did not fight as fiercely as before.

Is there a strong feeling of working together so as not to fall behind in the competition?

So, I was relieved, but I was concerned about the little boy who was laughing on the other side of me.

“Hyung, I hope he’s popular!”

Lewen speaks like an innocent child.

However, inside it was a man who had gone through many storms.

Maybe that’s why, even if he pretended to be innocent, in my eyes, he only looked like a man who was happy to see the youth of both men and women.

He was shaken when he heard the news that he was a regressor, but he met the daughter of Gwangryong, led to the blind swordsman, and contracted with the unbalanced magic sword to subdue the demi-rich.

At that point, it seemed like I wouldn’t be surprised no matter what happened now.

‘Wouldn’t you know if the Demon King pops up on the way… … .’

However, the demon king’s resurrection is scheduled for two years.

The demon king’s resurrection ceremony required a lot of preparations, so the demons carefully melted into human society and plundered little by little.

A year later, they began their activities in earnest and robbed the preparations that were difficult to obtain.

It was just two years later that all the preparations were finished.

Therefore, there was no possibility of encountering the Demon King.

[Contractor.]

‘What’s going on this time?’

[I just wanted to warn you. When you think like that, it’s almost reflected in reality.]

‘no way! It’s a story that’s completely unrealistic, but will it actually happen?’

[It may seem unrealistic right now, but such a day may come someday.]

‘I’m sorry, but I’m still the demon king… … ?’

[If you think so, I won’t make it a problem anymore, but always be careful about your words and actions.]

With Prach’s bitter voice, the carriage moved toward the next village.

I was a little nervous, but fortunately there was no sign of an accident, such as a demon king appearing or a surprise attack.

But for some reason, Prach’s words were lingering in my head.

***

“It’s the first time I’ve been to a town this big since the front!”

Arriving safely in Lebron, we realized firsthand the scale of the pleasure city.

From the huge Colosseum in the center to the street stalls, armor stores, and taverns that are lined up one after another.

It was crowded with all kinds of people.

I felt it from the entrance, but Lebron was a very noisy city.

Gambling halls and brothels are also open at night, so I think the current atmosphere will be maintained even after the sun goes down.

“It’s been a while since Revlon.”

“Have you ever been to Rin?”

“yes. A long time ago, I competed as a gladiator just once to test my limits.”

“Did you even survive?”

“Because everyone else except the champion has beaten them. And in the last championship match, as soon as I checked the opponent’s skills, I immediately withdrew. Thanks to that, I was able to survive.”

The champion of the Colosseum that even Rin, who had reached the level of a swordsman, was afraid to face.

I was surprised that such a strong person existed, but at the same time, I wondered who it might be.

If it had that much strength, it would have been mentioned at least once in Adog Choi.

“ah! Still, I’m confident that I’ll win if we fight again from now on! So please don’t be disappointed in me!”

“don’t worry. Even if you lose, there will be no such thing as disappointing you.”

“I’m happy to say it, but somehow I also feel that it doesn’t matter if I lose.”

“It is an illusion. mistaken.”

Ahahahaha, I laughed out loud at the situation.

It was the first time I saw Rin’s pouty expression, but even that was cute.

She, who has always kept her cool, reveals various emotions only in front of me.

What could be more thrilling than the fact that only I can see the other side of my lover?

“I can’t go on like this. While revisiting Revlon, I will win the championship and proudly prove my skills to the teacher!”

“I don’t have to do that, but I believe in your skills… … .”

“I also have a desire to verify my skills again, so I hope you understand.”

“If there is a reason for that, I won’t stop it, but should I be careful? If you feel it is dangerous, abstain at any time.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I have two people to protect.”

Rin casually intertwined my hand with her face blushing slightly.

The act made my face heat up.

My heart started beating fast at the sight of Rin acting like a man sometimes and sometimes like a precocious woman.

I’m afraid of the quick expression of affection.

“Bern! Then me too… !”

“You can’t.”

“why!”

“That’s right, the Colosseum is a place for sword fighting, not a place to destroy an opponent.”

Although he had an excellent body like a dragon race, that was all.

She has to put in all her strength to achieve top grades, but if she does that, there will be many problems.

First of all, the fact that I have to reveal that I am a dragon race is not only a reason for disqualification.

If anyone blows the destructive rays seen in the monster contest, it will lead to a major accident in which a crowd of spectators die.

In other words, putting Renee in the field was not something to be avoided, but to the point of being ripped off.

“For that reason, your participation in the war is not permitted.”

“Ugh… ! Discrimination!”

“It’s not discrimination, it’s natural.”

Even after that, Renee continued to speak passionately, saying that she was dissatisfied with it, but it was impossible.

I shook my head at Renee’s suggestion until the end.

In the end, Renee was completely upset, so Rewen suddenly tugged at my collar.

It seemed that he had something to say.

I leaned over and Lewen whispered softly in my ear.

“Hyung, at that time, you should have told Renee to prepare to have a baby instead of thinking about fighting.”

“… … .”

Can’t you turn on the blinker and come in?

I know that there is a man inside, but the outside is a boy with no blood.

It was no joke that such a child did not look back and crashed into it.

Although the body is smaller, the head remains the same.

It was scary to even imagine what he would have done if he had given him a sleeping gun.

“Anyway, Rin goes to check in before it’s too late, and Renee, let’s take a look around the city together.”

“All right.”

“yes… .”

His voice still sounded sad, but it was much better than before.

Since Rene likes to see the town, he seems to have relaxed slightly at my invitation.

The moment I was about to break up with Rin.

Frach’s words flowed into my head.

[Contractor!]

‘What, what is it? what’s the matter?’

[This is an emergency!]

‘What is it?’

[In this city… … There is a magic sword!]

‘… … so?’

[It’s not something to react calmly! I have to go get that magic sword right now!]

Are you telling me to make a contract with another demonic sword?

‘I’m sorry, but I’m too much for you? I don’t want to increase the magic sword beyond that.’

[Contractor, I never taught you, but originally there was only one demonic sword, and that was me.]

‘so?’

[The 3rd Demon King, who was wary of the fact that this body’s power was so strong, dispersed this body’s power! Then, it was distributed to other demons. Those are the current demon swords.]

‘It’s a story I’ve never heard of before.’

[Of course. No one knows the original demonic sword except for this body and the king of the dwarves.]

In Adokchoi, not even Prach, nor even the king of the dwarves had ever appeared.

Other than those two, they said they didn’t know about the history of the magic sword, so it was only natural that I, the reader, didn’t know about it.

Anyway, it was quite interesting that the magic sword was originally one.

‘So what am I going to do with the magic sword?’

[Of course, this body will absorb it!]

‘In short, you mean you want to go back to the beginning of the magic sword?’

[It’s almost similar.]

‘… … I’m not sure, but if I go back to the beginning of the magic sword, won’t it be strong enough to break my contract?’

[I assure you, that’s not going to happen, so you can rest assured. And speaking of his true intentions, this body does not have to go back to its original state. I just want to regain one of the abilities this body had.]

‘What ability is it?’

[Poly… ! No, it’s not a very dangerous ability.]

Frach evades his words suspiciously.

I was worried about whether I should ignore it, but since I’ve received a lot of help from Frach, I decided to listen.

‘So where is the magic sword?’

[The energy of the demonic sword is felt in the large building Rin is facing.]

That is, it is inside the Colosseum.

I don’t know why, but I felt like I had to compete.
