Everyone has immature times, and there have been times when people have had to endure hardships due to those times.
Polo was like that too.
He also has a past that is shameful and disgraceful, and that he is afraid to recall.
It was 5 years ago.
It was a time of change when the battlefield patterns were fixed and the continent’s six powers increased to seven, and it was a time when, apart from such external circumstances, the small world of Polo Islands was known as everything on this land.
He was in the banquet hall.
“No item, Yeongsik!”
“Ah, bold English! “I hope to see you again this year.”
“It’s a banquet that only happens once a year. “If not now, when will you have fun?”
“That’s right!”
Even in the empire, there were secret and closed meetings that only the descendants of high-ranking nobles, including counts or higher, could attend.
Once a year, at the beginning of the year, Yeongsik and Yeongae would gather to socialize and have secret meetings… Looking back, it was a pretty debauched gathering.
Of course, not everyone played so wildly.
There were also other species, such as Graham’s Sagittarius and the Imperial Rebellion.
However, because he was different from them, and because he thought he was right at the time, Polo was desperate to find a lady to spend the night with.
I met Sword Demon Kasha on such a day.
“You got it. “Graham’s sacral pendulum.”
“Who is the man next to me? “Does anyone know the author?”
“I found out that Graham Youngsik brought me here as a personal friend. “I heard he was a foreigner.”
Elbus Graham.
A hero who went to the battlefield and distinguished himself before he was even an adult, and a semi-invalid who suffers irreparable wounds from that war and ends up in a wheelchair.
The man, who is more famous by the nickname ‘Graham’s Whistleblower’ and whose purpose for attending the banquet is quite ambiguous, has brought a guest.
“You look unlucky.”
Next to him in the wheelchair was a handsome man with a sober expression.
The atmosphere was unique. Would it be possible to explain it by saying that although he clearly has a sad look, his cold expression and the muscles that stand out above his clothes give him the feeling that he is like a knight on the battlefield?
Polo at the time said that about him.
“You’re my friend who couldn’t get out of puberty. You know that kind of person I am. I’m the type of person who thinks I’m the only one in the world who is having a hard time and suffering and thinks it’s cool. Look at how that sets the mood. “Don’t you feel like you’re intoxicated?”
“Hehe! “The note-taking English style is also really good.”
“What do you think? “What is true.”
“That’s right.”
When I think about it again, it might have been jealousy.
It could also have been wariness.
I guess he really didn’t like the stranger who stole all the attention of the ladies he had been eyeing from the moment he appeared.
It wasn’t just Polo.
The other spirits who wanted to become friends with Elber Graham, as well as the other spirits who had lost the young lady’s attention, were all wary of him.
To young men in their prime, crazy about their sexual desires, the invasive species that disturbed their ecosystem were just as threatening.
In this atmosphere of sharp alert, only the man and Elbus Graham were relaxed.
In that leisurely manner, the ladies began to form a circular wall around the two men.
It was that kind of moment.
“… Look. “Notem Yeongsik, I have some surprising news for you.”
Isn’t this what the second son of Count Bold, who was with us that day, was saying?
“That guy seems to be a mercenary. “Graham Youngsik made friends while on the battlefield.”
“… “You mean you’re not a noble?”
“From what I heard, they say he is stateless.”
“Huh… !”
The young man’s jealousy was one-dimensional and aggressive.
That was the polo of that day.
Isn’t it that the weakness of a stranger who seemed invincible to anything has been revealed?
My young mind became obsessed with greed as I saw my exposed weaknesses.
I want to bring out that man’s flaws and bring him to his knees.
I want to prove my superiority.

So, I want to get the compensation I deserve.
The action was fast.
Polo led the group and approached the man buried among the ladies.
“It’s my first time seeing your face!”
He spread his arms with a bright smile and feigned goodwill.
“Oh, Notem Yeongsik, nice to meet you.”
“Meet Graham’s blood relatives. “Can I introduce you to the person next to me?”
“Umm… .”
Polo felt his confidence increase as Elbus Graham smiled as if he was in trouble.
At the time, he thought it was intimidation, but now that he looks back, his troubles were due to his concern about Kasha’s fiery personality.
Who would know?
I was just busy biting the person because I thought it was a weakness that he couldn’t answer.
“What family do you come from?”
“… “No.”
“hmm? what?”
“There is no family lineage. “He’s just a mercenary rolling around on the battlefield.”
He seemed uncomfortable as he answered.
Polo felt a thrill of pleasure.
“Huh… The person attending this banquet has no family background? This is so… .”
Polo gained confidence from the reassurance of the group of young people who came forward as if in agreement.
Maybe that was why I made a mistake with my words.
“Everyone, calm down. Maybe you don’t have parents. Aren’t they called mercenaries? Oh, or else… .”
I shouldn’t have said that.
“… “It could be that they ran away from their bad parents and became homeless.”
I don’t remember much of what happened after that.
No, it was closer to something I didn’t want to remember.
There was one thing that Polo clearly remembered.
Blah blah blah!
I heard the sound of a tree splitting vertically, and felt the pain of my entire neck being torn off.
“Aaaah!”
The lady’s scream rang out.
I heard the Youngsiks who were with me whimpering.
Meanwhile, only Polo was dumbfounded.
“Turn it off, turn it off… !”
Not knowing when I fell to the floor, I flailed and stretched out my arms, but I couldn’t reach anything.
It was only after the banquet was over that I found out that I had been slapped.
The only way to do that is to hit your cheek with your palm and say, ‘Snap!’ Isn’t it common for a sound to occur?
Anyway, there were words that still lingered in Polo’s head.
“You have such a light snout. Too bad. “If I had met him on the battlefield, I would have twisted his neck and ripped it out.”
Even though he was so distracted, the man’s voice was clear.
That cold, sticky voice still clearly remained in my mind even after five years.
It was a week later that I found out that his name was Ksha, and that he was the monster who had just been named the continent’s new powerhouse.
It’s another thing that I couldn’t leave my room for a month because I was worried that he would secretly come and harm me.
To sum it up, Polo lived forgetting what happened that day.
I was so afraid of his voice, and I thought I would never see him again.
However, I could not escape his influence.
That was why he was born into a military family and started working as a supply officer.
‘I thought that was the end… !’
After reminiscing, Polo sees Kasha sitting in the front of the carriage, trembling… She glanced at Elric Portman’s back.
Once you became an officer, you could retire from the front.
Then, I thought I would never meet the person who fell on the battlefield again in my life.
But what is this?
Why did he appear as the returning brat of a simple country baron?
“Ugh, the smell of fertilizer.”
“I guess it can’t be helped since it’s a rural area.”
‘You crazy people!’
Armin and Disha’s supply officer were complaining arrogantly without even knowing the topic.
Polo felt a shiver run down his spine.
The thought that suddenly occurred to me was that I had to stop them.
It didn’t even occur to me at this moment that they were soldiers in the enemy’s camp or competitors for today’s deal.
You could say it is love for humanity.
Polo was on the verge of coming to the heroic conclusion that they must be pulled out of the maw of that hideous monster.
of course,
“haha… .”
The moment his laughter rang out, Polo’s heart suddenly broke.
Polo’s head fell down.
Cold sweat was pouring down my body.
“Sir Polo, are you okay?”
When Armin’s supply officer asked, Polo nodded frantically.
“It’s okay!”
If it’s not okay, it’s not okay.
Since he hasn’t pretended to know yet, isn’t there still a possibility that he didn’t recognize him?
Please, I had to.
‘please… .’
Polo prayed to heaven.
But that was the way things were in the world.
If all your wishes come true in heaven, why are there wars and conflicts on this earth?
Elric knew him.
I also remembered that quite clearly.
One good thing is that he is not as sharp as he was five years ago.
To be exact, it was just the opposite.
*
‘Dear God, why are you doing this to me?’
Elric, who was sitting in the front row of the carriage and looking at the scenery, felt his heart beating like crazy.
Even the heavens are indifferent. Isn’t it really cruel to pick an enemy out of so many continents and send him here?
There was a sense of crisis and impatience within me.
What if he reveals his identity? What if he goes back to the system and reports the whereabouts of Sword Demon Kasha?
Those thoughts cannot be erased.
Elric closed his eyes tightly and thought.
‘… ‘Where did you put the knife?’
Now that things were like this, the only answer was threats.
If that doesn’t work, well… .
‘… ‘We’ll have to destroy the evidence.’
It seems like it’s been a long time since I asked someone.
Elric’s hands were filled with power.
