Episode 32
A courtyard located in the center of the black giant.
Choi Hyun-seok stood there, fidgeting.
Boom! Boom!
My heart is pounding like crazy.
Maybe it was because I was so nervous, but my hands started shaking and I felt dizzy without realizing it.
‘How far will the progress go?’
How long has it been since you last went on a date alone with a girl?
I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was probably 29 years ago.
That means it’s the first time.
‘It’s a little difficult if you’re as active as you were in a dream…’
Of course, I don’t hate it.
What man would hate an active woman?
The only thing Choi Hyun-seok is worried about is.
‘I guess I’ll have to do some push-ups so I don’t look like an easy guy…?’
It was because of something I had seen in a strange dating guidebook in the past.
‘Well, for today, just a kiss… .’
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok’s delusions were spreading uncontrollably.
Rustle!
A noise was heard from behind.
Choi Hyun-seok turned around with a smirk.
“Ah! You’re here…?”
His face hardened as he spoke.
Because there were two muscular cow heads standing behind Abelson.
“hello.”
Abelson stood there calmly, his face expressionless as usual.
“Hey… who are those guys behind you, no, those men?” “They’re escorts. I told you that you can never go out alone.”
It was a roundabout way of saying that the sommeliers were watching him.
Choi Hyun-seok also had at least a modicum of sense, so he could only nod his head sheepishly.
“yes…”
I felt ashamed of myself for getting excited thinking that it was just the two of us going on a date.
“Shall we take a walk? I’m out for a walk.”
“Yeah.”
The black giant is incredibly large.
One of the gardens located within it, this one, naturally boasted an enormous size.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok is a warrior, right?”
While we were walking, Abelson suddenly asked me a question.
‘Why are you suddenly asking me this here?’
Choi Hyun-seok was a little embarrassed, but nodded.
I thought it didn’t matter since Hemis already knew everything anyway.
“That’s right. How did you know?” “Black hair is a demon.
Or maybe it’s just the warriors. Not all warriors have black hair though.”
“ah…”
“Your performance at the arena yesterday was impressive.” “Thank you. Hahaha!”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled awkwardly, embarrassed by the compliment.
“Can I ask you something too?”
“yes.”
“How old are you, Mr. Abelson?” “I’m… twenty-one.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had grown older, kept nodding his head.
“There’s an old saying that says that an eight-year age gap isn’t even a match.”
“yes…?”
A look of deep bewilderment appeared on Abelson’s face.
It was an extremely rare emotional change for her.
‘What is this crazy guy talking about?’
I turned around, thinking he was joking, but his face was extremely serious.
Then Choi Hyun-seok noticed Abelson was flustered and asked again.
“Can a saint not get married?”
Abelson just closed his eyes.
‘Where are my scriptures…’
She began to search for thick volumes of scripture.
‘If I hit its head, even this black-haired beast will come to its senses.’
The scriptures containing the doctrine are very thick.
If you pour your holy power into it and hit its head, even this worthless warrior will surely come to his senses.
A saint who plans to strike the warrior’s head with the sacred scriptures.
It was a very strange situation in many ways.
“I… If it’s difficult, you can answer later. I’m only twenty-nine, so I can wait.”
The thought that I would never have to answer rose to the tip of my tongue.
What on earth is this warrior thinking about?

Abelson had no choice but to admit that the man who had shaken his composure was more dangerous than he had expected.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok. As you said, we’ll talk about that later…”
The moment Abelson gritted his teeth and muttered.
A completely unexpected lifeline was lowered.
“Choi Hyun-seok! You were here!”
Raidrun has appeared.
Choi Hyun-seok’s face suddenly crumpled at the sudden appearance of the boss.
But soon, his expression changed as if nothing had happened.
“Lord Raidrun! What’s going on?”
Choi Hyun-seok greets us with a bright smile without a trace of guilt.
At first glance, it seems like they are genuinely welcoming Raidrun.
‘The more I know him, the stranger he becomes…’
Abelson watched the situation with a small sigh.
Raidrun continued.
“Choi Hyun-seok. You won the duel. Didn’t you?”
“Yes! That’s right!”
“So I should take over as platoon leader.”
“yes…?”
“Follow me. The corps commander wants to see you first. We will hold the platoon leader appointment ceremony tomorrow at dawn.”
It was a bolt from the blue, two bolts of lightning struck out of the blue sky in succession.
***
Didn’t they say that if you love each other, you start to resemble each other?
The expression on Choi Hyun-seok’s face as he followed the cow head raid was the same as that of a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse.
It is not necessary for both parties to love each other for them to become more like each other.
Choi Hyun-seok showed with his whole body that even one-sided love can make people resemble each other.
‘My dream date…’
The date ended without us even holding hands once.
I felt like I was going crazy because of the injustice.
There has never been a time when I resented Hemis and Raidrun more than at this moment.
‘The atmosphere was really good…!’
This is just my personal opinion.
In fact, objectively speaking, Hemis and Raidrun were saviors.
If the story had continued as it was, Abelson might have slapped me, or in the worst case, I might have had my head smashed in with a scripture.
No matter what I thought, I avoided the worst case scenario thanks to Raidrun’s timing.
‘Um, by the way, why is the lip monster looking for me?’
As I continued to walk, my head gradually cooled down.
As my rational judgment returned, I began to feel anxious.
‘And you’re a platoon leader… This wasn’t planned.’
I don’t feel good at all about wearing the hat.
No, rather, it’s depressing.
I didn’t think that defeating Kurken would make us a proper Demon King’s Army.
First of all, he is human.
There is no way I can survive among the monstrous Demon King’s army.
Hemis also knew that fact, which is why he made Bobo’s keeper.
‘Let’s just watch for now. Maybe they’ll just decide on their next duel opponent and it’ll be over.’
While continuing to think about this and that.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Hemis’ office.
dripping.
Raidrun knocks on the door.
“Come in.”
Hemis’ voice, still top-notch in tone, was heard.
“I brought Choi Hyun-seok.”
“great job.”
Hemis was sitting at his desk in his office with his legs crossed.
She opened her lips as she looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
“I enjoyed the duel.”
“thank you.”
“Is your recent activity very impressive?” “Oh, it’s nothing… .”
“Surviving the cage where they were thrown to die, surviving Queen Talas, and surviving the arena.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been scratching the back of his head, thinking that he was being praised, froze.
“Really, I have to give our warrior some credit for his tenacity.”
“sorry…”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a face that had turned dark and gloomy.
“Oh my? Sorry. I’m praising you. Don’t be nervous and just relax.”
Hemis said with a smile in his voice.
That made it even more delicious.
‘Are you saying that…?’
Hemis said it out loud.
They said they threw them in the pen to kill them, and threw them in the arena to kill them.
All Choi Hyun-seok did was desperately try to survive.
As a result, it was tantamount to interfering with Hemis’s plans.
If he lifts his hand and says, “I don’t like her!”, he will die.
“Do you remember the offer I made you?” “Yes. I remember.”
I can’t forget it.
It wasn’t a particularly complicated deal.
“The Commander said that in exchange for a duel with the opponent he designated, he would protect me during that time.”
A duel held once a month.
Instead, Hemis guarantees Choi Hyun-seok’s safety.
That was the promise that Choi Hyun-seok remembered.
“That’s right. But do you remember why that suggestion was made in the first place?”
Choi Hyun-seok rolled his eyes at Hemis’ question.
I spin my head desperately.
‘Why did Hemis propose a deal?’
I quickly went back to my memories.
“There are only idiots in the Demon King’s army.” “Don’t you want to become an officer?” “If you were just given the rank of battalion commander, wouldn’t you be useful?”
Fortunately, I was able to recall what I had said to Hemis.
“He asked me to become an executive and work under Hemis.” “I remember well.”
Hemis nodded with satisfaction.
“Now that I think about it, that was just an excuse. Hope torture, you know? I thought you wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer and would die anyway.”
For Hemis, Choi Hyun-seok was just a toy.
It wouldn’t be strange if I died at any time.
“But then I changed my mind.”
However, after seeing this duel, I changed my mind.
Choi Hyun-seok’s talent was greater than expected.
Maybe I could become a commander or a staff officer in a really short period of time.
“I’m going to think more seriously about you from now on.”
“thank you!”
“Don’t be too fond of it. It’s not like things will change the way they have been.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face, which had been smiling brightly, darkened as he continued to speak.
“I will block your path just the same, and you will have to go through the ordeal.”
The immediate situation has not changed.
Hemis will continue to challenge you.
Only when all this is over, she can truly accept Choi Hyun-seok as her subordinate.
‘Should I like this…’
Choi Hyun-seok, whose goal was to escape the Demon King’s army, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Now, to the point. Why did I call you today?” “Are you going to name your next duel opponent?”
“No. You’re wrong.”
Hemis’ lips were torn apart.
“Raidrun. You said that, right? Choi Hyun-seok is the man who is more suited to the Demon King’s Army than anyone else and is the one who will become its commander.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Raidrun, who was standing next to him, answered.
“So this time, instead of a duel, let’s try something else.”
Hemis came down from the desk and approached slowly.
“We can’t just use our great warrior as a mere platoon leader, right?”
Hemis continued speaking, sweeping Choi Hyun-seok’s chest with her pure white hands.
“You will be a company commander from now on. To be exact, a cooking company commander.”
“yes…?”
It was a completely unexpected proposal.
Choi Hyun-seok blinked.
“You know that our unit has a separate cooking company, right?”
“I know.”
There’s no way I wouldn’t know.
Because I’ve been hunting with Chef Kulkan and his cooks for quite some time.
“As you know, the cooking platoon suffered a devastating blow this time. So the officers are not able to eat properly.”
Ordinary soldiers are self-sufficient in most of their food.
However, senior executives are different.
The officers eat food made from freshly caught horse meat.
The Demon King’s Army officers are a group of gourmets who are no less than Bobo.
But since all the cooks who were supposed to do the work had died, they were not able to eat proper meals and were growing dissatisfied.
“I understand the situation.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded after hearing the explanation.
“I’ll give you the authority. You can choose the cooks you want. Can you do it?”
Before discussing whether you can or cannot do it, you must do it.
When the commander gives orders, there is no choice.
Choi Hyun-seok stood up straight and raised his hand.
“Just leave it to me!”
“Yes. That’s right. This is more important than you think. I hope you complete it successfully.” “I will never disappoint you, Commander!”
Chef Choi Hyun-seok!
Suddenly forgetting about Kulkan, he has only one wish.
‘You must never fall behind in futility like Kulkan.’
Choi Hyun-seok wanted to live a long life.
