Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 222

There is No Evil Hero in the World – Episode 222 (222/273)

“I’m Ien Nell Chersy. Please, call me Ien.”

“Ah, yes.”

Ien smiled sweetly and bowed gracefully.

Every movement exuded elegance.

Watching her, Choi Hyun-seok blankly nodded.

“Pleased to meet you, Sir Dugal Polkell.”

“Ah, yes.”

Choi Hyun-seok, who had been gaping with a foolish expression, suddenly thought.

‘Is this love?’

Ien Nell Chersy was Choi Hyun-seok’s ideal woman.

Bright and clear skin.

The curved blue hair was like a clear stream flowing down.

Her blue eyes, like her hair, were large and sparkling, filled with an energy that made people feel good just by looking at them.

At the same time, the smile never left her lips, giving off an overall bright and cheerful atmosphere.

“I heard about you from my father! That you are an incredibly strong knight.”

“Ah, yes.”

Her expression and tone were amiable and cute, yet she wasn’t too frivolous and had a dignified, elegant atmosphere that he really liked.

‘This person is truly my ideal type!’

Choi Hyun-seok was surrounded by many beautiful women.

Even Abelson Marriott was so beautiful that she could be mistaken for an angel.

Rachel, in terms of appearance alone, was prettier than any celebrity he had seen on Earth.

Sarah Dunphy and Sidriel were a bit different, but it was clear that they were also incredibly beautiful women.

‘I once gave them my heart, but now I know. My real ideal type is Ien, right here.’

At this moment.

Choi Hyun-seok realized it.

He had been mistaken all along.

You could call it a kind of wandering.

He hadn’t known his own taste because he hadn’t met his real ideal type yet.

“Are you listening?”

“Ah, yes.”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded blankly at Ien’s question.

“…so, depending on the current international situation, the factions are divided….”

Ien’s voice entered one ear and flowed out the other.

‘Her voice is pretty too.’

Only Ien remained in Choi Hyun-seok’s head.

“…this is the situation. This is where Sir Dugal’s role becomes important.”

“Ah, yes.”

“You’ve only been saying ‘Ah, yes’ since a while ago. Are you okay?”

Ien waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked.

Choi Hyun-seok still nodded with a dazed look.

“Ah, yes.”

“Pfft…!”

Ien finally burst into laughter at his consistent, robot-like response.

Choi Hyun-seok felt like his heart would stop because that sight was so lovely.

“Well, that’s all for today. I have an important schedule. If you have any more questions later, please feel free to ask.”

“Ah… yes…”

“Then, goodbye.”

Ien left with a refreshing eye smile.

Choi Hyun-seok blankly stared at her retreating figure.

Thud…!

As the door closed and Ien completely disappeared from view, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes slowly regained focus.

“Sir Polkell. Are you alright?”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded at King Molin’s question.

“Your daughter is beautiful.”

“Hahaha! My daughter’s beauty is indeed famous. Even the Empire is coveting her.”

King Molin, who was happily laughing at the compliment of his daughter, suddenly made a sad expression.

“But, unfortunately, she’s too bright, which is the problem.”

“Is being bright a problem?”

“Well, to be exact, it’s that her ambition is too great.”

Her ambition is too great.

It was a vague story, but Choi Hyun-seok nodded as if he understood.

‘To be exact, the problem is that a woman has great ambition. This era has strong patriarchal ideas.’

That’s how most people here are.

Women are passive and should not come forward in anything.

The duty of women is only to assist men.

This idea is strongly ingrained in the minds of both men and women.

Especially in the case of the throne or the position of the head of a noble family, almost 99.9% of men inherit it.

Perhaps Ien Nell Chersy wanted to break this mold and fly to a higher place, even though she was a woman.

“It’s a world where doing great things as a woman is not easily accepted.”

“That’s unfortunate.”

“Still, I’m secretly thinking of passing the throne to Ien.”

King Molin was trying to pass the throne to Ien Nell Chersy.

Choi Hyun-seok already knew this, but he asked again, pretending not to know.

“Is that okay?”

“The backlash will be severe. But Ien is a bright child. I think it’s right for Ien to become the king for the future of the country.”

“I see.”

“Ah, please keep what I just said a secret. Even my daughter doesn’t know yet.”

“Of course.”

At that time, King Molin looked at Choi Hyun-seok with a subtle gaze.

“So, how about Sir Polkell helping? So that Ien can achieve her dreams.”

“Yes?”

Choi Hyun-seok blinked.

He was to help Ien achieve her dreams.

What does that mean?

“Our Chersy Kingdom has no legends.”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded calmly.

He already knew this as well.

In the first place, legends are not that common.

It was strange that the Empire had more than four or five.

In these small and medium-sized kingdoms, even seeing a hero was very difficult.

“If Sir Polkell makes a marriage promise with Ien, those who oppose Ien inheriting the throne will have no choice but to shut their mouths, wouldn’t they?”

“Yes!?”

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened.

Marriage promise (婚約) [Engagement].

Literally, promising marriage.

In other words, it means marriage.

“Ho, ho, ho, a marriage promise. Suddenly such…!”

“Hahaha! I said it because it seems Sir Polkell also likes my daughter.”

“I need time to think…”

“As much as you want!”

King Molin said with a good-natured smile.

“If this matter is resolved well, I am willing to push for it at any time. I will actively talk to Ien as well.”

Choi Hyun-seok kept nodding.

In his head, he was already playing out a happy retirement life in the palace as the king’s man, with rabbit-like children.

‘Choi Hyun-seok! Finally, sunshine is coming into your life!’

***

After meeting with the king.

Choi Hyun-seok was guided to a room for honored guests.

“You are free to enter and exit at any time. A maid is always on standby, so please tell us if you need anything.”

The maid in charge of the guide mechanically greeted and left the room.

Choi Hyun-seok was left alone in the empty room.

At that moment, Rachel appeared in the air with a pop, as if she had been waiting.

“Hero!!!”

Rachel shouted from the start.

Choi Hyun-seok lay on the bed and listlessly looked at his exclusive fairy.

“What?”

“What on earth are you doing!”

“What are you complaining about now?”

“You’re completely captivated by that blue fox! You were drooling with a stupid face like Crayon Shin-chan!”

Choi Hyun-seok frowned and pointed at himself.

“Me?”

“Of course, it’s you, Hero! Is there anyone else here besides you!? Do you even have any sense, Hero!? You took on the concept of a moronic demon king army and became a real moron! Now that I see it, you’re not a hero but a master of method acting! A great actor!”

“First, calm down and take a deep breath. You seem too excited.”

Choi Hyun-seok said, showing his palm.

However, Rachel didn’t seem to have any intention of calming down.

“I’m not done yet! Yes. Okay. Let’s say you couldn’t keep the moronic demon king army concept! Fortunately, the king doesn’t seem to think much of it. But did you listen carefully to what that blue fox said? Do you even remember what she said!?”

Choi Hyun-seok shut his mouth tightly.

Come to think of it, he didn’t remember anything Ien said.

‘What did Ien say…?’

He seemed to have asked something and answered in the middle, but he couldn’t remember.

‘Her voice was pretty.’

Ien’s voice is so beautiful and refreshing!

That was all.

Rachel raised her chin as if to say, “See?”

“Tsk tsk! How are you going to do great things when you can’t even come to your senses because of just one woman!”

Rachel clicked her tongue and shook her head, muttering in a small voice.

“And… she’s not even that pretty…”

“What?”

Rachel’s face turned slightly red for a moment.

She shouted in a loud voice as if she had made up her mind.

“That’s right! Rachel is much prettier and cuter than that blue fox!”

“Why is the story suddenly going that way?”

“Rachel is prettier! A hundred times! A thousand times cuter!”

“Yeah. Let’s just say that.”

“It’s not just saying that, it’s the truth! Admit that Rachel is cuter! Hurry!”

Choi Hyun-seok looked at Rachel with a sulky face.

‘I wondered why she was so sulky…’

Choi Hyun-seok, who had been staring at Rachel for a while, sighed deeply.

“Yeah. Rachel is pretty and cute.”

It was the face and tone of someone who was reluctantly speaking, no matter who looked at it.

Still, Rachel’s lips, which had been sticking out a lot, went in a little.

“Hmph! I’ll let you off the hook for now.”

“Oh… thank you so much.”

“Anyway, Rachel remembers everything that blue fox said, so listen carefully.”

“Okay.”

Fortunately, Rachel seemed to remember everything Ien said.

Listening to her explanation, Choi Hyun-seok inwardly clicked his tongue.

‘She usually looks so stupid, but she’s unnecessarily smart only at times like this.’

It was an opportunity to see Ien once again under the pretext that he didn’t remember the conversation.

Rachel explained it in such detail that it didn’t seem necessary.

‘Let’s be patient for now. If I say I’m going to meet Ien again here, she’ll foam at the mouth.’

Anyway, he came here to work.

No matter how much he’s fallen for a woman, he has to distinguish between public and private matters.

‘I’ll do the romance after solving this problem.’

The future was already being drawn.

A blue-haired royal

Young lady.

The children born between her and him would surely be as beautiful as angels.

“Alright! Let’s go!”

Choi Hyun-seok jumped up from the bed.

“Where are you going?”

“Now that I know the circumstances, I have to face it directly on the spot!”

He had to solve the case as soon as possible.

Only then could he spend a sweet time with Ien comfortably.

“Hero, move out!”

For the first time in a while, Choi Hyun-seok’s will was ignited.

***

Since the demon’s peace declaration, Gatrein and Drasen are waging public opinion warfare throughout the continent to expand their territories.

Perhaps that’s why the current situation in the Chersy Kingdom was similar to that of the Marriott Kingdom in many ways.

The hardliners who insist on completely driving out the demons.

The moderates who want to stop the war with the demons and pursue peace.

The hardliners are active around the Holy Empire of Gatrein.

The moderates move around the Drasen Empire.

“The high-ranking officials of the Chersy Kingdom are also naturally divided into two. Most of them are divided not because of their beliefs or thoughts, but simply depending on whether they’ve sided with Gatrein or Drasen.”

Whether people knew it or not, war was not important to those behind them.

Just a scramble to occupy territory and receive crumbs.

Nothing more and nothing less.

“It’s hard to solve this situation with force. We can’t just kill all the innocent citizens.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was to assassinate all the nobles and high-ranking officials who support Gatrein…”

Rachel narrowed her eyes at the word assassination.

“Hero! You’re going to kill all the people! Is that something that should come out of a hero’s mouth!?”

“I’m just saying that. I have no intention of putting it into practice. It’s too dangerous.”

Assassination of high-ranking officials.

This could potentially ignite the fuse of a bomb.

The king wouldn’t want to solve it this way either.

Choi Hyun-seok personally didn’t like it either.

He wanted to solve it as peacefully as possible.

“To do that, we have to win the public’s hearts like we did in the Marriott Kingdom, but that’s difficult.”

“That’s right. The situation was different back then, and many other people helped!”

The Marriott Kingdom was similar to Chersy, but also different in many ways.

The dispatch of the cardinal of the Gatrein Empire.

And the help of Sarah Dunphy and the Drasen Empire.

All of these combined to complete the scenario in the Marriott Kingdom.

It was difficult to blindly follow suit in Chersilton because the situation didn’t support it.

“In the end, we have to naturally make Gatrein look like the bad guy. Or we have to make Gatrein back off first… What’s the best way to do that?”

As Choi Hyun-seok’s worries deepened.

A commotion began to be heard nearby.

“You fanatics!”

“Shut up! You stupid pacifist!”

Choi Hyun-seok clicked his tongue.

“How many times is this today?”

How long has it been since he came to Chersilton, but he was already used to it and tired of it.

It seemed like people here would divide into groups and fight each other wherever they went.

“Fanatics! Do you like war that much!”

“That’s nonsense! We have to completely eliminate the demons to stop the war!”

“The demons promised peace!”

“You fool! Do you believe the demons’ words!”

Choi Hyun-seok turned away to get away from the fight.

He checked a few times at first, wondering if there was anything to gain, but now he knew.

These street arguments just repeat the same words on both sides and eventually lead to a fistfight.

And the conclusion is that both sides are arrested as the guards come.

At that moment, a man’s voice pierced Choi Hyun-seok’s ears.

“Unless the Demon King comes himself and promises! I can never trust those guys’ words!”

At the same time, lightning struck Choi Hyun-seok’s head.

“That’s it!”

Rachel blinked as she looked at Choi Hyun-seok, who suddenly shouted.

“What’s ‘that’?”

What nonsense is this hero going to say again?

The answer far exceeded her expectations.

“Let’s call the Demon King here!”

“What!?”
