Chapter 23 – #3 the Junior Guard (1)
The king of the Kingdom of Yugo had three sons and two daughters. A crown prince recognized for his abilities by his servants, a princess who monopolizes the love of all the people, and just an immature and cute little sister.
Among them, the second prince, Rominas de Hugo, had a pretty good reputation. He had moderate intellect and no talent, and was particularly good at recognizing talented people.
Anyone who leads a country must know how to utilize talented people in the right place at the right time. There were several subjects who tried to appoint the 2nd prince as the crown prince based on the above ability, but at some point Rominas lost his firearm and went around outside the palace to focus on his hobby.
Some retainers did not let go of their hopes for Rominas, but most of them stopped caring and supported the crown prince. This made it easier for Rominas to avoid the guards and go outside.
‘Today is the day the guard is discharged.’
Rominas repeated the name of the guard who had come to him especially among the talents he had noticed recently. Did you say Suma?
It was a coincidence that I came to see him. After meeting with the director of the clinic to get a recommendation for a good talent, I heard the story of a guard who walked to the clinic after killing a mandrake on his way back.
Mandrake was a monster that could be incapacitated with just earplugs if you knew its existence, but it was dangerous enough to take the life of an apprentice knight if you were attacked unknowingly.
Most of them are found inside the dungeon, so they don’t cause much damage, but occasionally leaked out and caused a catastrophe. The guards found and dealt with such a dangerous monster.
‘Should I give out a reward?’
Even if he didn’t get involved, the guards themselves would give out rewards, but he wanted to give them a gift because he had prevented the death of many precious people.
So, he took on the care of the guard himself, and was immediately impressed.
His muscles and bones were quite usable, and his muscles were held properly, so he was at the level of a fairly probationary knight. Considering the age of 20, it wasn’t that surprising, but considering the background of the character Suma’s growth, it was an amazing achievement.
‘From an orphanage. The only training he received to become a guard was basic swordsmanship and physical training as a volunteer. And that’s only one year.’
How would things change if a ignorant commoner who didn’t know anything was trained with a teacher in earnest, since he had been trained for only one year and was on the level of an apprentice knight?
The fact that he killed Mandrake while listening to it without earplugs added extra points to his evaluation. A talented person who combines physical talent with outstanding mental strength. People like this are rare.
Lominas set out to make Suma his own. She cannot be formally invited and made into a knight. Because there was a hidden intention behind his hobbies.
‘The international situation has not been good since a few years ago. The dwarf kingdom to the south has not finished the war against the orcs. Rather, borders are being pushed. At times like this, we have to cooperate, but the behavior of the kingdom of Stejay is questionable.’
The Kingdom of Stejaish has increased its military force by importing a large amount of ore over the past few years. They said it was to send reinforcements to the Dwarf Kingdom, but Yugo Kingdom was not so stupid as to be unable to read the insidious intentions.
War. They are preparing for war. Since he didn’t own a few dungeons, he was trying to occupy the rich dungeon resources of the kingdom of Yugo.
To prepare for that day, they had to secretly nurture talent. His brother was raising an army, and his sister is organizing a bodyguard by enlisting hunters who can sprout.
And Rominas found hidden people all over the kingdom through the eyes of identifying talent.
Not just a person with superior military strength, but also an administrator with the administrative power to maintain wartime, an artist to reassure the people and boost patriotism, a blacksmith to stably supply weapons, and so on.
Elisabeth, whom I discovered a few weeks ago, had excellent senses, so I tried to raise her as a priest who could stand in front of her. So she supported Hunter’s activities both physically and mentally.
If Suma is raised well and put together with Elisabeth, she will be transformed into a knight who changes the battlefield. It was the reason why Elisabeth, who was diligently attacking the dungeon, was attached to Suma.
‘Could the two of them have gotten closer?’
Is it a bit greedy to hope for tangible results in just one day? Rominas entered the hospital room with a bitter smile and was at a loss for words.
Three men and women sleeping naked and traces of love affairs everywhere. Seeing Elisabeth talking in her sleep with her happy face, she laughed out loud.
She insisted on being close, but I never thought we would be this close. The last time I saw her, she was a woman who distrusted men, but what kind of charm did she have with the guard so that she had sex within one day?
‘To the extent that he was with another woman.’
If any of them wake up, we’ll get into an embarrassing situation, so we’ll have to get out. Rominas quietly closed the door to the hospital room and murmured softly.
“Heroic lust.”
I don’t know if he’ll become a real hero. She was thinking about what reward to give, but she came to a conclusion. If she reveals a woman, she will surely like it.

Discharged! When she returns to Sweet My Home, she hums in her own words. A therapist whose name was not known to her looked at the hospital room and she said, ‘Perhaps until tomorrow…’ And quickly got out of there to float her luck.
The clinic is nice, but it’s more uncomfortable than home. Serica Lang Mehya came to see how she knew about her discharge.
“Are you okay? Great? I’m running around because of you, so it’s good to take a break.”
“It’s honey, senior.”
“You look fine, do you want to go to work tomorrow? I’m going to die of boredom after guarding the middle level dungeon and going to the lower level.”
Thrill
Celica glared at Mehya.
“Suma still needs stability.”
“I don’t care and you roll, but only show favoritism to Suma. Is it because you’re a man?”
“Gender doesn’t matter.”
“Bee.”
“P? Did you make fun of your boss just now?”
“I tasted the air because it smelled good. Were you making dinner? Let’s taste it.”
The two forced their way in and took the table. Seeing Iruna putting on her apron and making soup, Celica’s pupils trembled.
“Cohabitation?”
“I followed because I was worried.”
“Suma! Look at your liver.”
“Okay.”
As she lifted her ladle and tasted the soup, a foul air flowed. Looking back at her, I saw that Iruna had a different, strangely nasty smile.
Celica, what was so wrong with her, she gnashed her teeth. When I looked at them, their expressions returned to normal, but they had already seen everything they wanted to see.
Since there were guest plates, the four of us could sit around and enjoy dinner. Iruna, who happily watched me eat the soup, asked.
“How about it?”
“Tasty. Maybe it’s because our pretty Lee Luna cooked it, but it tastes better than mine.”
“Hehe”
“… Are you going around telling everyone you’re pretty?”
“Please. I always speak the truth.”
“That’s a typical playboy comment. I never dreamed that my junior would be a playboy.”
When I said things like that, Celica looked at me even more sternly. I want to expel Mehya. I miss the soup that goes into her mouth.
Somehow after dinner, I came out to see the two of them off, but I saw a message floating on the flower bed.
[Sunflower: Growth rate 67%]
[Mint: Growth rate 30%]
“Sirika-sama?”
“Huh.”
Why did this nobleman get upset when he ate well? I don’t like Mehya who makes accusations even more. Originally, I hated the sister-in-law who stopped me more than the mother-in-law who hit me.
“The sungrass will be all grown by the day after tomorrow. Would you like to harvest together?”
“Oh yeah. There was a solar plant that we planted ‘together’.
Why do you give an accent?
“See you when you come. Okay. You’ve been growing well. The leaves are vivid and the flower buds are clear, so it will be a high-quality solar plant.”
“I got it from someone, but I put a lot of effort into it.”
I’m talking about Lee Luna and the game system. I didn’t give a drop of water.
“Taeyangcho must be harvested when the sun rises so that the quality does not deteriorate. I’ll come back early the day after tomorrow.”
“Yep.”
I will also accept the promise. As I was about to issue a congratulatory order, Mehya blurted out.
“Aren’t you having a graduation party?”
“A party? Ah!”
He told me to set up a drinking party because he entered a lower dungeon instead. I’m not the type to turn down the opportunity to drink with two beauties.
“Of course I have to. How are you tomorrow?”
“Won’t that woman follow me to that spot?”
“Sure. It’s a place for the same guards, so can we bring in outsiders?”
“Whoop whoop.”
Celica smiled happily and left. Mehya looked at me with slightly tired eyes.
“Your junior is more advanced than I thought.”
“Yes?”
“From now on we are enemies.”
“Yes?”
Mehya, talking crazy, followed Celica. …Did the real soup go bad?
“Iruna! Didn’t they put something strange in their soup?”
“Yes? How could you do that to food.”
“The good Luna wouldn’t have done that. They are very strange people.”
As she shook her head, Luna suddenly untied her clothes.
“More than that… Suma-nim. Aren’t you going to eat dessert?”
“Oh, did you prepare dessert?”
“Yes.”
Iruna smiled shyly and lifted up her plump breasts with her hand.
“I prepared Iruna.”
Gulp. You should eat this even if you die. In the morning she was very exhausted dealing with the two women, but she must die.
The body I possess is twenty years old. This is the age at which you will have an erection when you turn around after having sex. It’s a day off until tomorrow anyway, so let’s burn tonight.
