391.
A tavern and inn where Leo and Lisinas stay.
The inn’s owner, Tila, complained as she wiped the dishes with a cloth.
“There is no such thing as a nuisance.”
“What?”
Rodia, who was helping Tila with the dishes, tilted her head.
“Kyle and Lisinas.”
Tila glanced at Leo and Lisinas, who were talking on one side of the bar.
“We lost customers because of those two people.”
Kyle, the surviving hero, and Lisinas, the fool.
As both of them are overwhelmingly powerful, it is rare that among those who go into battle to protect God’s Lawn, there is not one who does not receive help from the two.
However, Kyle, who has the jinx of his colleagues dying, and Lisinas, who jumps into a dangerous battlefield to save the world, were definitely a combination that you would not want to get involved with.
Rodia grinned while looking at Tila who was grumbling.
“Even though you say that, I heard that you are rooting for the two of you.”
“huh?”
“Kyle said that. “Tila is a person who takes good care of me even though he grumbles with his mouth.”
“That rude guy said that?”
Tila looked at Kyle with an expression of disbelief.
“By the way, Rhodia.”
“yes.”
“You’re a dragon, so why do you always treat me with respect?”
“Because it’s comfortable.”
Rodia grinned.
Dragons are a race with a tradition of selecting and leading heroes.
5000 years ago. The tradition that began after the end of the Age of Disaster continues to this day.
That is why dragons are revered as noble beings compared to other races.
However, it was nothing compared to the status of the dragon during the Age of God.
During the era of the gods, who were called messengers of the gods, the status of dragons was comparable to that of the gods.
That’s why Tila couldn’t get used to Rodia’s condescending attitude toward her.
But for Rhodia, it is natural.
Even from her perspective, a person from the distant past.
‘And since he is the one who provided a place for great heroes to rest comfortably, we cannot treat him carelessly.’
Mmmmm-! Rodia nodded her head.
Clatter-clatter-clatter-
Tila said as she cleaned up the dishes.
“by the way. “It suits you.”
“What?”
“Those two people.”
Tila glanced at Leo and Lisinas, who were talking about the future.
“I didn’t think they would get along, but seeing them talking like that. “I think you two are a good match.”
“Tila, do you think so too?”
“okay. “If it were a time of peace, you might have been mistaken for a lover.”
“Yes? Anyone can see that Risinas suits Kyle the best in the world, right?”
“I didn’t say it suits you the best in the world.”
“You two are clearly a match made in heaven!”
Tila looked at Rodia, who was happy alone and not listening to her at all, and looked astonished.
After putting all the dishes away, Rodia hummed and approached the two people.
“It’s amazing how many people gathered this size.”
“It was difficult. Because you were so infamous. “Still, everyone we targeted joined.”
“You two, what are you talking about?”
Rodia, who sat down between Leo and Lisinas, smiled brightly and asked.
Leo frowned as he looked at Rodia, whose orange eyes were shining so brightly that it seemed burdensome.
Lisinas patted Rodia’s head and said.
“We were talking about an expedition that would take place in two days.”
These few days.
Lisinas found Rodia very cute.
No matter what the contents are, the dragon still looks young.
Lisinas couldn’t help but find Rodia cute.
Rodia asked Kyle in response to Lisinas’ words.
“How many people in total are going on this expedition to the Forest of Monsters?”
“11 people.”
“Eleven people? “There are that many?”
Rodia looked surprised at Kyle’s answer.
Originally in history, the expedition had 8 members, including Kyle and Lisinas.
Surely, even in these hopeless times, there are those who desperately search for hope.
If the only people worthy of being called heroes in this era were great heroes, they would have perished long ago.
But even so, it was a time when there were only very few people left who would join Kyle and Lisinas on their journey.
Even Rodia, who had attempted to conquer this world several times, tried to somehow increase the number of expeditions, but failed.

With limited time, it was difficult to change the reputation of Kyle and Lisinas.
However, the number of expedition members increased by three more.
Rodia cheered after seeing the list.
“Great!”
“It was hard because of Kyle.”
“yes?”
Rodia looked slightly embarrassed as he saw Lisinas sighing despite having gathered more colleagues than in actual history.
Leo said calmly.
“I was able to persuade the guys who didn’t want to go on the expedition because of me and I finally participated.”
“okay. How crazy is Kyle’s personality… … .”
“That’s true, though. Are you feeling bad? “Have you been climbing too much these past few days?”
Wow-!
“Oh, it hurts!”
As Leo held his head, Rodia made a pained expression.
Lisinas burst out laughing as he saw that.
“You two are really close. “What can I say, it’s like a father and daughter relationship.”
Rodia’s eyes widened at those words, and Leo frowned.
“I’m not old enough to have a daughter like this?”
“huh. yes. But what can I say, I get that feeling when I see Rodia treating you like a great adult and you treating her like her child.”
“I wish Lishinas was my mother!”
Lishinas said those words with a troubled expression.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not old enough to have children?”
“I guess you look old to him.”
“You haven’t said anything rude in the last few days, so it looks like your true nature is going somewhere.”
Risinas said with a smile, looking at Leo speaking with sincerity.
Her face was obviously smiling softly, but her delicate and beautiful forearms were clearly showing tendons, and her hands were roughly holding onto Leo’s collar.
After a commotion, Lisinas went out, saying he was calling an expedition team.
“Dad, so when are you getting married to Mom?”
“How long are you going to imitate that disgusting child?”
“What about Rhodia? “I wish I had a younger sibling.”
“You keep messing around and you can get hit for real?”
At Leo’s words, Rodia said, ‘Che!’ and clicked her tongue.
“Why are you so excited alone?”
“Tila said that Kyle and Lisinas were a match made in heaven!”
At those words, Leo looked at Tila at the counter, and Tila just shook her head with an expressionless face.
“When he hears this, even that foolishly stubborn Seilun will approve.”
“What is Seilun?”
“The most suitable pair is Lisinas and Kyle!”
Rodia said with wide eyes.
Looking at Rodia, who had a very serious expression on his face, Leo asked, ‘What kind of nonsense is this?’ He made an expression like this.
Rhodia’s story was like this.
In the world of heroes, the two who confirmed the feelings of Luna and Rishinas fought over which combination would suit them.
“Do you guys play like that?”
“It’s a very important issue, right? Damian was on my side, but Azonia was on Seilun’s side! Rumern was shamefully neutral!”
Leo let out a deep sigh as he looked at his juniors who were wasting their mental energy in an incredibly useless way.
“Seyrun, the old girl took advantage of her good writing skills and published strange novels to brainwash people. “A vicious guy.”
“… … “Are you saying these damn things are idiots and assholes?”
Rodia, whose cheek was pinched, was crying and struggling.
Meanwhile, the inn door opened and 10 people came in.
Leo’s eyes turned to them.
It’s a face everyone knows.
A face that went into battle together.
and… … .
‘Those who lost their lives early.’
It is not because they are weak in strength or lack will.
It was just that the battlefield we fought against together was unimaginably difficult.
Rodia also shed his light mood a moment ago and took on a slightly stern expression.
Tudge-tudge-tudge-
Nine people, excluding Lisinas, sat down.
Most of their eyes were directed towards Leo.
“It was true.”
A woman sat down next to Leo and smiled.
“Kyle, I’ve heard about you taking part in Lisinas’ journey, but I never imagined it until I saw it like this.”
A woman wearing light armor with brown hair and green eyes.
It was Alene Prilene.
“It’s been a while.”
“Well, it doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since we last met on the battlefield. long time no see. “Kyle.”
Even with a puzzled expression, Alene agreed with Leo.
“Heh, it’s a journey with a hero who survives.”
The sharp-eyed elf mage with a sword wound over one eye smiled coldly.
“Maybe not everyone will die.”
“Whahaha! Perique. While saying that, he sits down next to Kyle. “Are you moved by what Kyle said earlier?”
A beastman warrior of enormous stature, plopped down next to an elf mage called Perik. Alox burst into laughter.
“joy. I hope you don’t treat me like a simple ignorant prisoner. I only came to help Lisinas. “I’m just sitting next to this guy because I’m curious as to why this pessimistic guy changed his mind.”
Rodia looked surprised as she looked at Perik and Alox.
‘These are the people that Lisinas tried to join the expedition, but never joined, right?’
Lisinas tried to persuade them somehow, but they never changed their minds during this expedition.
“How did you convince me?”
When Rodia asked with a small smile, Leo answered calmly.
“I was in a party with these two guys and Alene Prilene for a while. “It went wrong because our thoughts didn’t match.”
“Kkkkkk! It was so crooked that I had no choice but to split it! “If I think about it now, it seems like we’ve split up well!”
Alox put his arm around Leo.
Leo just sipped his drink.
“… … “I felt it before, but it has changed.”
Alox tilted his head.
Meanwhile, Lisinas spoke.
“First of all, this meeting was held to strengthen our friendship before going on an expedition.”
Lisinas grinned.
“It’s also to have fun drinking before risking your life.”
“It’s good!”
“Because we live for the alcohol!”
Wahahaha! The sound of laughter rang out as the bar left.
There is no one in God’s Lawn who wants to be involved with Kyle and Lisinas.
But since we decided to be together.
That was of no use.
The current era is one where life is at stake at every moment.
As long as we decided to be together, we didn’t care who the other person was.
Because this could soon be the last banquet.
To yourself too.
To the world.
Everyone raised their glasses.
“Before we begin, would you like to ask the surviving hero about this expedition?”
At that time, a slightly playful jeer was heard.
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to Kyle.
Kyle stood up.
“I don’t want to beat the candle.”
Leo said calmly.
“I heard information about the Glutton King earlier.”
There was silence for a moment at those words.
Jormungand, the Gluttonous King.
The strongest corps commander.
“I have information that he is passing between Guardslawn and the Elven Forest.”
Everyone began to murmur at Leo’s words.
“what? “Where did you hear that information?”
Lisinas asked with a puzzled face.
“Through personal routes. Probably pretty sure.”
Everyone had a stern expression.
Leo said while looking at them.
“It would be best to postpone this expedition to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.”
“Is that what you mean?”
Alox asked, crossing his arms.
“no.”
Leo said calmly.
“I’m talking about subjugating this guy.”
“what?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“The Glutton King does not lead an army. However, the reason it was difficult for us to deal with him was because he always moved with a different corps commander.”
Jormungand is the strongest corps commander and his power is beyond imagination.
But no matter what, moving alone is dangerous.
Even if Jormungand himself tries to move alone, he has other legions to help him if he wants to attack somewhere.
‘5000 years ago, that was the reason why we did not avoid the fight with Jormungand.’
For the expeditionary force, the encounter with Jormungand was a huge crisis, but on the contrary, it was an opportunity to subdue the strongest corps commander.
Lisinas chose battle rather than flight, and Kyle and the others followed suit.
A battle that was even reckless.
As a result, they were able to miraculously defeat the Glutton King, and that victory became the dawn of hope.
“So let me tell you. Those who want to back down, get out of here now.”
At those words, everyone looked at Leo.
“If what you mean is true.”
Alox grinned.
“My heart is shaking!”
“This is extremely reckless.”
Perique clicked his tongue, but he didn’t move either.
No one wanted to leave.
Leo knows too.
The fact that they won’t back down.
“A battle with Jormungand! It’s worth risking your life for!”
Alox shouted energetically.
Leo said while looking at that.
‘Everyone died 5,000 years ago. but… … not now.’
Even if we save them here and now, it doesn’t mean they will come back alive.
But those who risked their lives for the world.
They couldn’t even see the hope to become the cornerstone of hope.
‘I don’t want to see you die again.’
Leo squeezed his hand.
‘this time… … ‘Save it.’
