Episode 34
Captain Doras!
He was a relatively new battalion commander, having been a battalion commander for less than three years.
“It’s peaceful. It’s peaceful.”
Doras was lucky.
As soon as I became a battalion commander, I started working at the 3rd Corps headquarters.
This black giant is one of the safest places in the Demon King’s army.
The commander of the legion resides here, and more than ten thousand soldiers are stationed there.
Humans would never dare come here, and even if they did, the problem would be resolved in an instant once the commander stepped forward.
So there is no threat of war.
Since becoming a battalion commander, Doras’ days have been very peaceful.
Although she gained weight thanks to it, Doras was happy with it.
Because this thick flesh was the proof of peace.
“Peace Army. Peace~”
A peace-loving man on the subject of the Demon King’s Army!
Doras was smiling peacefully while eating an unknown fruit.
Knock knock!
Someone knocked urgently on the door.
Doras frowned at the broken peace.
“Captain Doras! This is serious!”
The soldier who opened the door and rushed in was a familiar face.
He was a soldier who did various chores on his behalf.
“What’s the big deal?”
Doras said with an uncomfortable expression.
How dare you disturb my leisurely peace.
If it was something trivial, I was thinking of killing them and replacing the soldiers.
“A large number of our troops have deserted!”
“what!?”
Doras jumped to her feet.
“Could this be desertion!?”
There is no reason for soldiers to desert in large numbers, except for desertion.
‘Why!? Why on earth!?’
I never thought that he had been so mean to the soldiers.
Or just get them together when they’re bored and have them do a party.
To the extent that he built a huge kiln and enjoyed walking while lying on it.
Besides that, I did ask her to do some small things here and there, but I didn’t ask her to do anything unreasonable.
But desertion!
If he was not careful, his position could have been put in danger.
However, the soldier’s next words were completely unexpected.
“This is not desertion!
“Huh? You’re not a deserter?”
If it weren’t for desertion, why would soldiers leave in large numbers?
“I heard he was drafted as a cook.” “Oh, so that’s what it was.”
Doras sighs in relief. He slumps down into his chair.
“Was that all you were fussing about?”
The draft of a cook is a constant occurrence.
Although it is common for the battalion commander to ask permission to proceed.
“So this time a human is in charge of the kitchen?”
This time the chef was human.
“Well, it’s possible for a stupid person to do something without knowing the procedure. I’ll be generous and let it slide. Tell them to be careful next time.”
He was a man whom the legion commander watched with great interest.
There is no reason to disturb the peace by provoking it unnecessarily.
“That’s not it! Commander!”
“What now?”
“Half of the battalion members have already been drafted as cooks!”
“huh?”
Half of the battalion members.
What kind of cook would pick such an ignorant person?
“Half of the battalion!? How many of them did you take away!?” “The number of people already identified is over two hundred!” “Have you ever seen such a crazy person…!”
The peace of Doras was being shattered.
***
At the same time, Choi Hyun-seok was still recruiting cooks.
“Joe, I’ll be the cook!”
One of the Demon King’s soldiers, who resembled a hedgehog, spoke with tears in his eyes.
“You. Then go and bring just one friend.”
“Hey, buddy…?”
“Okay. Just bring one of the guys you eat, sleep, and poop with. I’ll make him a cook, too.”
“i get it!”

The soldier moved diligently, even though he limped.
‘I can’t be the only one who suffers…!’
Joy is doubled when shared, and sorrow is halved when shared.
The soldier forgot his pain and ran to give a good opportunity to his comrade whom he usually looked down on.
“Okay, okay. It’s going very smoothly.”
After doing business like this for over two hours, a considerable number of soldiers had gathered.
“Sir! You’ve got a lot of subordinates!”
Rachel said with great excitement.
“Wow, how many people are there!? Look here! It’s like an animal kingdom!”
Dogs, pigs, cows, horses, lions, and more!
Behind Choi Hyeon-seok, soldiers with various faces were limping along.
“Isn’t this all possible because of my excellent character?”
“Umm…”
Rachel thought for a moment.
I think the reason the commoners follow him is because he has great low kicks rather than because he has a great personality.
What do you think?
If the results were good, it would be a jackpot.
Things have been going well for the first time in a long time, so I didn’t really want to rush things.
“That’s right! You’re the best, warrior!”
“Hahahaha!”
“Kyahahahaha!”
Rachel and Choi Hyun-seok laughed heartily.
The soldiers following behind looked at the two with pitiful eyes.
“Those devils…”
“That’s a human…”
My insides were seething, but all I could do was grumble quietly.
The law was far away, and the low kick was close.
“By the way, warrior. How many are you going to collect? I think it’s already over two hundred?” “Well, I think about three hundred would be enough.”
“That much?”
“Since we’re going to get killed in droves every time we go hunting anyway, I’m going to pick a lot of them in advance. It’s annoying to go around too often.”
“aha.”
Hemis didn’t say how many soldiers to recruit.
So I planned to pull out as many as I could while I could.
“By the way, why isn’t this kid coming?”
The last hedgehog I sent never came back.
“You didn’t run away, did you?” “How dare you…! If you did run away, we’ll catch you and pull out all the needles!” “That’s a good idea!”
When it came to doing bad things, there were warriors and dedicated fairies who would kill him with ease.
“Ah! There it comes.”
Even a hedgehog will come if you call it.
I saw the hedgehog that had left a little while ago return.
Choi Hyun-seok narrowed his eyes.
There was something strange about the soldier coming with the hedgehog.
“What? I told you to bring a colleague, and you brought a pig here?”
Behind the hedgehog, a fat pig was walking unsteadily.
“Is there someone like that in the Demon King’s army?”
It was a body size rarely seen among the soldiers here who were naturally equipped with large muscles.
Rachel’s face turned pale.
“Hero. Don’t you think that pig is a bit strange…?” “Of course it is. How on earth is someone like that in the Demon King’s army?” “No, it’s just that his magical power is a bit…”
Rachel shares magical powers with Choi Hyun-seok.
So, as Choi Hyun-seok grew, she also grew naturally.
Rachel sensed something ominous coming from the pig walking toward her.
“Try using the combat power meter.”
“okay.”
Choi Hyun-seok used the measuring device without saying a word.
He frowned as he saw the words appearing on the lens.
“Hey, what’s going on? Is it broken?”
He took off the measuring device, hit it a few times, and then put it back on.
However, Choi Hyun-seok’s crumpled expression did not show any sign of clearing up.
“Hmm… that’s strange.”
“Why? What does it say?” “That pig. It says its combat power is immeasurable?”
“…”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel looked at each other in silence.
They both instinctively felt that something was wrong.
“Should I go…?”
“Shall I throw it away?”
The words “run away” came out of their mouths at the same time, as if they were coordinated.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel looked at each other, nodded, and then turned around.
“Naturally…”
“Let’s go back as if nothing happened.”
I tried to slip away quietly, but it was already too late.
“Hey! Over there!”
Choi Hyun-seok ignored it and continued walking.
“Don’t ignore me! The human who is with Bobo! Choi Hyun-seok!”
The pig pointed at Choi Hyun-seok and shouted.
“Ah… there was Bobo.”
“Heh, heh!”
When his name was called, Bobo turned around and smiled.
“I can’t help it…”
With something this big around, it’s impossible to escape without getting caught.
Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to turn around.
He smiled as brightly as possible to show that he knew nothing.
“Yes! Are you talking about me?”
“Yes. I am Captain Doras of the 3rd Direct Regiment.” “Ah! You are the battalion commander! My name is Choi Hyeon-seok, and I am the new kitchen chief.”
Cold sweat ran down the back of Choi Hyun-seok’s head.
“I already know that you are Choi Hyun-seok, the head chef.” “Oh, this is an honor. But why would your Majesty…?” “Don’t act like a fool. I know everything.”
“yes?”
“What are you thinking, drafting all of our men!?”
“yes!?”
Taking all the battalion members away.
It was the first time I heard about it.
At that moment, something flashed through Choi Hyun-seok’s mind.
‘These guys were all in the same unit!’
As we were running a multi-level marketing campaign, we ended up unintentionally drafting all the soldiers from one battalion.
“Ah! I’m sorry… .”
“Enough with the excuses!”
Choi Hyun-seok kept his mouth shut.
Pig Captain Doras narrowed his eyes buried in his flesh.
“Come with me. I need to talk to you in my office.”
“yes…”
Choi Hyun-seok sighed inwardly.
‘I thought things were going well for some reason.’
***
As soon as I entered Doras’ office, a fragrant smell wafted in.
‘It looks delicious…’
Doras’s desk was laden with delicious fruits and juicy meats.
“What on earth are you thinking?”
Doras, sitting on a chair, said while eating fruit.
Only then did Choi Hyun-seok come to his senses and open his mouth.
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to.” “I didn’t mean to.” “Yes! The commander told me to pick the cooks I wanted. So I brought the most handsome looking soldiers, and they just so happened to be the great battalion commander’s subordinates.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s tongue danced dazzlingly.
He subtly mentions the presence of Corps Commander Baek, and at the same time praises Battalion Commander Doras.
“Um… that’s right.”
Abu was successful.
Doras’ expression became even more relaxed.
In fact, it couldn’t be helped because all the high-ranking commanders of the legion knew Choi Hyeon-seok.
A situation where Hemis directly instructed not to touch it.
Dorath also didn’t want to cause trouble with Choi Hyun-seok.
After all, what he wanted was peace.
“It was my fault for being ignorant! I’m sorry. The soldiers who were drafted will be sent back to their units.”
And Choi Hyun-seok also didn’t want to cause trouble.
‘You can just pick soldiers from somewhere else.’
The plan was to send back all the soldiers selected here and draft new ones.
Even though it was a little annoying, it was the cleanest and quietest way to get things done.
But what came out of Doras’ mouth was unexpected.
“That’s not right.”
“yes?”
“Sending back soldiers who were already drafted. Doesn’t that look strange?” “No! It was my fault…” “No, no. How could I possibly accept back soldiers who were drafted with the authority given to me by the corps commander?”
Doras bit into a chunk of meat.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
He chews meat greedily and looks at Choi Hyun-seok with sinister eyes.
‘Something’s wrong…’
Choi Hyun-seok, who was very perceptive in this regard, instinctively noticed.
This evil pig is up to something.
“Just take the soldier and use him.” “Are you sure that’s okay?” “Well, you can take the soldier back. But there’s a condition.”
“If there are any conditions…?”
I thought, “It’s finally here.”
“Nothing much. I just wanted to take one more soldier from our battalion as a cook. Is that okay?”
Fortunately, Doras’ request was simple.
‘It’s just a matter of getting one more soldier.’
Choi Hyun-seok nodded.
“Yes. Just leave it to me!”
Anyway, Doras’s thoughts were obvious.
‘I guess I’m just passing on a headache.’
It was clear that there was a soldier there who was a difficult, troublesome bundle of trouble to deal with.
‘It’s probably not a military issue… It’s obviously a political issue.’
During his time in the Demon King’s Army, Choi Hyun-seok learned one thing.
Demon tribe
This means that there is a social life of its own even among them.
In some ways this is the nobility of humanity.
It also resembled society.
Because the Demon Clan placed great importance on family and bloodline.
It was inevitable because abilities and growth limits were generally determined by bloodline.
‘Isn’t this a development similar to the story of a spoiled brat from a certain family?’
Choi Hyun-seok let his imagination run wild and thought of several scenarios.
‘Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.’
To conclude, Choi Hyun-seok was relatively free from these political issues.
‘My hundred is the commander of the legion. Inma.’
The one behind Choi Hyun-seok is one of only five commanders in the entire Demon King’s Army.
There was no reason to bow down unless the opponent was the son of the Demon King.
Boom…! Boom…!
That was when.
A noise was heard from afar and the office began to shake.
“Oh, I see you’ve arrived.”
Doras chuckled.
Perhaps the soldier he was talking about has arrived.
‘Something’s strange…’
Why is that?
Choi Hyun-seok instinctively felt that something was wrong.
What is approaching is not some spoiled brat from some family.
Finally, the office door opened.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Usaru.”
Doras explained.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the soldier who appeared with a bewildered face.
‘what’s this…?’
The soldier’s true identity was that of a giant of enormous size.
“Usaru!”
A monster whose head alone looked as big as a baby was sticking its head into the office.
“Commander. This soldier is…?” “Oh! I forgot to mention that. Usaru is a hybrid born between an ogre and an orc.”
Doras said naturally.
‘There’s nothing to forget!’
It was something I couldn’t forget at all.
“Please take good care of our Usaru!”
“yes…”
“Usaru!”
Suddenly, I found myself embracing a guy who seemed a bit unusual.
