The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - Chapter 52



52 – Fighting spirits – 1

The sweet scent tickled my nose.

Feeling a pleasant weight, I clicked my tongue briefly in regret as Lucy slowly left my body.

Did you like the way I looked? Her brusqueness, which had been seen before, seemed to have vanished.

“Whoa. Good.”

“Is that so? I’m glad I did. But that’s not what the word “Expect” Meant…”

“Didn’t you like it?”

“It’s not like that.”

A beauty clings to you, but who wouldn’t like it?

I laughed and shook her head, and Lucy, who smiled at me, reached out and pinched her cheek with her hand.

But she wasn’t sick. Rather than pinching, it’s closer to the level of grabbing, so it seems that he’s acting cute.

“So, in the future, my sister said that I shouldn’t ask for it.”

“Um… I see.”

Well, Cecil was the lord, and he was the one who succeeded to the barony.

If you think about her future, it would be better to refrain from such kind of skinship.

Lucy’s words weren’t wrong, so I agreed right away, and then, as if completely relieved, she smiled and took a step back.

“By the way, what did you do with your sister?”

“I didn’t do much.”

“Your sister asked for help.”

“She was on standby.”

“Cheonyoung! Cheonyoung!!”

At that moment, Cecil’s voice was heard. Seeing the urgency, it seems that I need it. I looked at Lucy and she smiled bitterly and sat down.

“Go take a look. Then. You know?”

“Yes? Ah. Yes.”

“Whoops. Then see you later~.”

She waved her hand with her improved face. I said hello to her and headed to the room next to her. As she opened the door and entered, Cecil, who had a gruff expression as usual, spoke in an even gruffer voice.

“Why did you go there when you said you would help me?”

“No, then what if I don’t follow you in that situation? And he told me to go.”

“Well, that’s right. Come over and grab this.”

I took her barrel as she directed. After pushing the ingredients into it, she closed the stopper on her barrel and told me to mix, and I picked up the barrel and continued to shake it.

“So? What did Lucy say?”

Should I speak or not? I thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“I didn’t say much.”

“Hmm. Yeah? It’s not particularly bothering me.”

Looks like he cares just by looking at it.

I looked at the two and thought of the past.

Before becoming the number one in the world, there was a time when I served two ladies at the same time. At that time, I don’t know if it’s because both of them have strong egos, but each pressured me to take the initiative.

The two of them look exactly the same as they did back then. It’s a competition for dominance. I miss you~.

“Why are you laughing so much?”

“I just laughed because it was cute.”

“Mud… Are you cute?”

“It’s cute because it’s at a level where sisters fight in moderation.”

And then there was a knife fight. Both of them were pretty talented girls, so if they made a mistake, they could have both died.

It’s not like that, it’s just such a trivial battle of nerves that I can happily go over it with a smile.

Well, since I’m so competent, I’m sure you want to use it this way.

“It’s good to have a fight, but I don’t want you to forget the important thing.”

The important thing now is that the black alchemist is aiming for the two.

I don’t want to see her get kidnapped in the process of the two of them breaking up because of a quarrel and one of them sulking and going to another place.

I cut it off, and Cecile kept her mouth shut for a while before sighing lightly.

“Haa. I see. I almost missed something important.”

After saying that, she gently held my hand. Cecil, who had her shaken the barrel down, spoke earnestly as she held her hand tightly.

“You always tell me what I’m missing.”

“hahahahaha. As a vassal, it’s a matter of course.”

“So that’s what I’m saying. Someday you’ll leave…”

“I don’t think I’ll ever leave…”

“Oh, uh, yeah? That’s it.”

“Assuming you’re leaving anyway, what are you trying to say?”

“…Please help me a lot until I leave.”

Laughing, she tapped my breast and sat down.

I don’t think that’s what I want to say.

But I couldn’t ask any further, so I went back to my seat and sat down.

“Cecil! Cheonyeong! It’s a big deal!”

It was Elan’s urgent cry that broke the silence that lasted for a while. Cecile and I stood up at the sight of her opening the door, and Elan gulped down her saliva before spitting out her words.

“Monsters are coming in droves from the south of the territory!”

“Monsters? Suddenly?”

“Yes! It’s time for the monsters that hibernate to wake up, so I entrusted them with the search. It seems that the monsters are moving much faster than expected!”

“Oh…But why are they flocking to the manor?”

“Well, I don’t know. I’ve never had anything like this before.”

Something never happened before. And even the chimeras that appeared before.

Couldn’t the black alchemist, who hasn’t been seen yet, be involved in this? I looked at Cecile and expressed my opinion, and she nodded her head earnestly before opening her mouth.

“First, tell everyone to come inside the castle walls.”

“I already told you! They should all be inside the walls by now.”

“How far has the construction of the walls progressed?”

“Because it’s more than eighth. It can be used as a wall.”

“Then you’d better fight with the walls as your shield. Elan. You protect Lucy.”

“Okay!”

Then the door opened. I think I heard a loud noise coming from this room.

“I’ll go too!”

“You are no help.”

“But I can heal the wounded! I have to save at least one person! I!”

Strongly refuting Cecil’s cold words, she said it clearly.

Cecil bit her lip, perhaps wanting to stop her from entering the battlefield, and Elan urged Cecil to give her instructions quickly.

“How many monsters do you think there will be?”

“At least 500 or more… There are quite a few advanced monsters in there as well. If you don’t respond quickly, you’ll be in trouble.”

“Yes. What are you going to do?”

“Ugh… I can’t help it. Instead, Lucy. You have to stay with Elan. Okay? Because the black alchemist might move to take advantage of the gap.”

“Okay.”

He seems to know when to fight and when not.

Her sisters, who seemed to be at odds with each other until just now, quickly sorted things out and moved on.

Once they got the things they needed, Elan and I headed straight for the wall.

“Hey, hey! Chunyoung! Is this okay?!”

Is it because the emergency bell rang? The people in the manor were anxious. I told them it was no big deal, and Cecil grinned at me.

“He reassures the people of Yeongji. Are you ready for the people of Yeongji, the star?”

“This is the home of my heart. Ah. I can see it soon.”

I saw a crowd of people on the side of the wall.

Not only the soldiers sent by Count Estal, but also the soldiers of the Stein estate are gathered on the wall.

We got off our horses and went straight up to the top of the wall, and only then could we see it.

“That’s a lot.”

I couldn’t treat it as only about 500 people. Considering that it takes at least 30 to 50 soldiers to catch a high-ranking monster, the number of those monsters can be considered to be at least close to 1,000 troops.

“Aren’t there any top-notch monsters…?”

“I guess so.”

I drew my sword. Looking at me like that, Atram slightly wrinkled his face.

“Are you going to intercept?”

“Should I?”

“What about support?”

“It’s not necessary. However, I will try to intercept and capture it as much as possible, but there will be no one who will avoid me and attack the castle. So, take care of yourself.

I glanced at Lucy. She is seen nodding her head slightly as she has brought her healing kit.

At that time, the priest of the temple was also seen coming up the wall. Recovery won’t be a problem.

“What are they doing standing there?”

As Cecil said, it seemed like they would attack at any moment, but the monsters just stood to one side as if they were waiting for an order. Looking at it, I thought I knew who was behind them.

“Here comes.”

Elan, who has good eyesight, pointed to one side. A man in a black robe was walking out from among the monsters.

It was a black alchemist.

“Only the main topic. Cecil and Lucy. I won’t touch this place as long as you guys come out.”

I’m sure it will.

“Eat your sh*t.”

I laughed at him and threw my sword. A sword flying freely through the air passes past him.

As expected, they are mean people.

“Welcome.”

“How can you be so cowardly?”

Pretending to come out and not come out. I flicked the sword that returned to my hand while swimming in the air.

“How do I do it?”

“Well… It would be better to finish off all the monsters first.”

-Rumble….!!

Dark clouds begin to gather in the sky. It seems that he is trying to use the thunderbolt magic he saw last time. Well, the power was awesome.

But can’t you only catch one?

As I looked up, Cecile smiled.

“Don’t underestimate the wise Cecil.”

Clap lightly and recite an incantation. And when the order is complete.

– Roaring!!

Hundreds of fireballs falling from the sky.

The rain of fire was driving towards the monsters.

-Kyaaa!! Aagh!!

The monsters hit by the rain of blue fire burst into screams of pain. Eventually, when the monsters that couldn’t hold out began to move, she, who seemed to be tired, grabbed my shoulder and said,

“Heo-euk… Heo-euk… Can I ask for the back…?”

“Of course.”

I did it this far, but I can’t speak weakly.
