The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

4 – Recruitment Proposal – 1

“Then take good care of me!”

“Don’t worry. Miss… I will protect you.”

Atram, who commanded the soldiers in front, shouted. Hearing his words, I smiled and walked to stand next to Lucy.

It hurt a little to see her startled as I approached, but let’s just move on, not attacking with a knife.

“Cheo, Cheonyeong. Aren’t you strong?”

“Hmm. Why do you think so?”

“Like the way you defeated the monster in one blow… How strong are you?”

Reminds me of the old days. When I was fighting the Murim Meng, the Volcanic Faction Elder asked how strong he was and why he was so rampant.

So I kindly said, ‘I’m strong enough to kill everyone here by myself.’ Didn’t I tell you the pure truth accurately?

When I think about it now, it was a very arrogant remark.

Of course I killed them all.

Anyway, such arrogant remarks are bound to make enemies.

I am Cheonyoung, a pacifist in this world. If so, here’s what I’m talking about!

“I can protect myself and my young lady.”

“Is that so? But what about fighting together with others…”

Soldiers fighting passionately on the front lines.

Elan is excellent at blocking attacks from the sky.

Everyone is doing well, so there’s no need for me to wear it.

“Ah. Could you close your eyes for a moment?”

I smiled and raised my sword. And.

-Kugggeung!!

The ground right in front of Lucy is shaking. At the same time, what soared up was a monster that looked like a large earthworm with a sharp saw-like snout embedded in its head.

I fired a blow at the guy who opened his big mouth to devour Lucy right away.

– Sudden!!

Green bodily fluids spilled out, and his corpse tumbled across the floor. But it’s not the end. The ground elsewhere was also beginning to stir.

I pulled Lucy lightly, and when her giant worm-like monster jumped out of her place, I cut down her goons as well.

But it’s not over yet. I can feel the monster attacking from the ground.

I don’t think it’s just one or two. It’s annoying to catch each one…

– Kung!!

As I stepped on the advance, the ground vibrated and I felt something exploding through my toes. It made the ground shake and exploded all those attacking from below.

Is it the aftermath? You can see the ground that was dry before is becoming damp.

Hmm. There will be no more attacks.

But it’s not a good scene to watch.

As I said, I pulled Lucy, whose eyes were still tightly closed.

“Huh? Huh huh?”

“There was a monster attack. There are corpses, so go this way.”

“Oh yes!”

After falling from the pile of monster corpses, he smiled and told me that I could open my eyes.

“Wow~! I was surprised! I thought you would dig and attack. Didn’t you like me to be by your side?”

“…Yes. Yes. That, that’s right. You owe Chunyoung again…”

A smile came out at the thank you bowing slightly with a shy expression. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this kind of experience, so I feel like I want to protect it.

Yes. It’s the first life I saved after coming to this world, so let’s stay with you at least until you return home.

In the meantime, follow them and get more information.

Elan approached me just as the first fight was over. Seeing the expression on his face, he had a rough idea of what he was going to say.

“Did you lead me this way on purpose?”

“Of course. You said you wanted to go through the woods, right? This is the best way to do that.”

“We’re taking care of the young lady. How about avoiding battles as much as possible?”

Well, looking at it earlier, he was quite weak in battle. It was pitiful that every time I saw the blood splattered, I was terrified and even trembled.

Still, the pulpit itself seemed to exist, seeing as he treated the wounded after the battle.

I’m glad I’m not a frustrating person.

“As I said before, you have to fight to get out of this forest. There are monsters standing in the way to get out. Also, I know that Lady Lucy is important to you. That’s why I’m protecting her, no? Would you?”

I patted Elan on the shoulder lightly and pointed at Lucy, who was treating the soldier with a pitiful trembling.

“You can’t get it without getting blood on your hands. Whoa whoop…”

I am a pacifist.

Because I decided to live like that from now on.

But that doesn’t mean you can completely avoid fighting.

I just want to find a way to minimize it.

I just chose the best direction I thought.

“What should I do, Elan? Would you like to find your way again?”

“mmm…That’s it.”

“They say you have to fight… Are you confident enough to get out of this forest?”

Atram, who was listening to our conversation from the sidelines, joined the conversation. Be yourself Of course there is.

“I’m confident, but I wonder if you guys can trust me.”

When people are in danger, they tend to think about the stars.

Especially in the case of me, it was not someone I was originally with, but someone who joined by chance.

You wouldn’t believe me so easily when I’m not identified.

“I will believe.”

“I believe.”

And…

Lady Lucy, Elan, and Atram.

Wow. These are the people I really like.

You believe me here?

“It’s true that I couldn’t find my way. I can’t lift my face. Really.”

“Ahahahaha. Don’t be so mean. This forest is just a little strange.”

Just because you can find your way in the woods doesn’t mean you can get out of the camp well.

Jin is Jin for nothing.

If you can’t accurately distinguish between life and death, it’s Jin who leads to death.

If you are not used to it, it is natural to get caught up in gin.

I’ve been through so much in Moorim, so I know how to destroy it.

“I’ll let Elan guide me in the other forests. Now, everyone. The injured seem to have been healed, so shall we go soon?”

I also want to see another part of this world soon.

Lucy looked at Chunyoung with difficulty. Was still showing Countless deaths behind him.

A person who lives with such death on his back is a pacifist.

What you say or what you help yourself with. Doesn’t sound like a bad person, but a pacifist? It was a questionable statement.

“My lady. Why is that?”

“…It’s nothing. But I think you have something to say…”

“Yes. My name is Cheonyoung. I think he’s a better person than I thought. It’s even more so when I think of the way he fought to protect the young lady earlier. He’s not normal.”

Lucy, who had closed her eyes listening to him at that time, could only tilt her head at him.

Of course, he’s not weak because he’s carrying that kind of death on his back, but is Atram enough to say this?

Atram nodded earnestly to her questioning her.

“Probably much stronger than me.”

“That’s right… Sir Atram is also a strong man.”

The strongest knight she knows is Atram. But why did he say that?

“When I was dealing with the monsters earlier, I was able to kill them with a single blow… I can’t do this. At least not to the level of Elan…”

Atram remembered his swordsmanship from earlier.

A blow.

With just that, I cut those hard-skinned monsters as easily as cutting butter.

I don’t know if the sword he’s holding is a famous sword, but it’s just an ordinary good sword.

That means that Chunyoung’s skill is considerable.

Then there was work to be done.

“It seems that he also has a crush on us. So, why don’t we accept him as a knight of our territory? He is very talented, but he doesn’t seem to know much about the world, so let him work in our territory and give him information and knowledge. And we are buying his radish. Short term would be fine.”

Generally speaking, that is correct. But anxiety remains.

After thinking for a moment, she shook her head awkwardly.

“Cheo, would Cheonyeong do that? If he was that great, he would have a path he wanted to go…”

Especially for someone who has so many deaths on their backs.

Most people who carry death on their backs are the ones who go to the battlefield on their own.

Would he like Yeongji, a star who is just peaceful and quiet?

He is a moth-sick, restless man who might step in and leave.

“But it wouldn’t hurt to talk about it.”

“…I see.”

Hearing Atram’s words, Lucy swallowed her saliva. Then he approached Chun-young, who was walking ahead, and softly brought her up.

“Me. Chunyoung.”

“Yes, ma’am. Do you have something to say?”

Smiley face.

But maybe that’s why I’m more anxious. I didn’t know what the person who carried that death would look like when that smile disappeared.

So nervous, she opened her mouth as carefully as possible.

“If you’re really from another world… Hey. You’ll want to know about this world… Until then, can you work on our estate? Well, our estate is very quiet and peaceful over there. You might not like it because it’s a place… But I can give you information or something like that…”

“Yes?! It’s a peaceful place?! Hey~! Then I can’t refuse!! Shall we do that?! Then?!”

“Huh?!”

“Let’s get along well from now on!! hahahaha!”
