Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 9

Legion Commander Hemis. And her pet, the oversized dog Bobo.

Choi Hyun-seok now had to take care of Bobo.

Becoming a dog sitter overnight, Choi Hyun-seok sighed and stared at the notification.

★☆★☆ Hero Quest! ★☆★☆

You have become Bobo’s caretaker!

Why does a hero have to do this kind of thing…

It may be bleak, but endure it!

Even rolling in dog poop is better than the afterlife!

First, win Bobo’s favor to survive, and plan for the future!

· Goal: Gain Bobo’s Affection

· Reward: 200 Hero Points

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, a Hero Quest appeared.

The goal was to gain Bobo’s affection.

Unlike the raid run, the reward had noticeably increased to 200 points.

‘Not only am I dealing with a Demon King’s executive, but now I have to gain the affection of a Demon King’s Legion Commander’s pet…’

He couldn’t help but doubt if what he was seeing was really a Hero Quest.

‘No choice. I’ll follow it for now.’

Either way, the only way for Choi Hyun-seok to survive right now was to win Bobo’s favor.

Choi Hyun-seok carefully observed Bobo.

‘He’s kind of cute when he’s sleeping.’

Bobo was drooling as he slept.

“Krrr… Phew…!”

Perhaps because of his large size, saliva and snot splattered everywhere each time he exhaled.

“Am I going to raise such a big guy alone from now on?”

Choi Hyun-seok muttered.

“Greetings! Insignificant human.”

A voice that sounded like clearing phlegm came from behind.

Turning around, he saw a squat goblin.

“I am Hoken, and I attend to Bobo-nim!”

Choi Hyun-seok jumped up and bowed 90 degrees.

“Nice to meet you! I’m Choi Hyun-seok!”

He thought he was alone, but it seemed there was a senior caretaker.

However, Choi Hyun-seok didn’t like his senior very much.

‘Why a goblin of all things?’

The goblin Hoken didn’t seem trustworthy at all.

‘I’d rather it be a large, ferocious demon.’

The goblin in front of him seemed like he would only be a hindrance rather than help.

‘Wait a minute, come to think of it…’

Suddenly, Choi Hyun-seok remembered what Legion Commander Hemis had said.

“Our cute Bobo is still young, so he likes goblins with tender flesh! Ohoho!”

Choi Hyun-seok seemed to understand why the goblin was a caretaker.

At this point, it was blatantly treating him like a snack.

‘If that’s the case, don’t call him a caretaker, just call him a lunch box…’

Choi Hyun-seok sighed deeply.

“Excuse me, Hoken-nim.”

“What is it, human?”

“Are there any other senior caretakers?”

“No. They’re all dead.”

“Ah… yes.”

It was expected, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.

“Human! Listen carefully!”

Suddenly, Hoken put his hand on his hip and shouted.

It was a posture often used by military instructors to set the mood.

“From now on, I will tell you what you need to do as Bobo-nim’s attendant!”

“Yes!”

Choi Hyun-seok was inwardly impressed.

‘So he is a senior after all?’

The way he exuded a confident aura hinted at the demeanor of a veteran.

“Our job is to prepare Bobo-nim’s meals!”

“Yes!”

Choi Hyun-seok swallowed hard and waited for the next words.

“…”

“…”

But no matter how long he waited, there was nothing else.

“Is that it?”

“That’s it.”

“Hmm…”

“Any complaints?”

“No!”

The urge to retort, asking why he was acting so serious if that was all, reached his throat.

‘Hold on…’

Fortunately, he didn’t make the mistake of voicing his thoughts.

Even though he looked like this, Choi Hyun-seok was a professional Korean who had survived in a society where rank was everything.

“Hoken-nim. Is it really just preparing meals?”

“That’s right. Meals! It’s the most important thing.”

Hoken anxiously glanced at Bobo.

“If you don’t prepare the meals, you’ll be eaten by Bobo-nim.”

“Ah…”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded.

If he didn’t want to become a lunch box, he had to work hard to prepare the meals.

“Kuek! It’s already this late. This is a disaster!”

Suddenly, Hoken shouted in a fluster.

“We need to prepare a snack. Human! Hurry to the kitchen.”

Just as Hoken grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s arm.

“Kwaang!”

Bobo woke up from his sleep.

Hoken scurried and stood in front of Bobo.

“Great and adorable Bobo-nim. Did you have a pleasant rest?”

Suddenly, Hoken’s vocabulary became richer.

“Kwang!”

“Here is a meal prepared for you.”

Hoken held out a bowl bigger than his own torso.

Inside, there were a bunch of unidentified mixed meats.

“Kreung…”

Bobo’s expression wasn’t good as he looked at the bowl.

He seemed dissatisfied with something.

“Are you not satisfied…?”

“Kwaang!”

Bobo strode towards Hoken.

Saliva was dripping from his mouth, clearly seeing Hoken as food.

“Ah, no…!”

Hoken trembled and looked around.

At the same time, he made eye contact with Choi Hyun-seok, who was blankly staring at him.

“Here is a special human dish prepared for you, Bobo-nim!”

Hoken pushed Choi Hyun-seok forward.

“What are you doing, you crazy goblin!?”

“Shut up, human! Bobo-nim wants to eat a special dish!”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Choi Hyun-seok put Hoken in a headlock.

He had shown respect as a senior, but even so, Choi Hyun-seok was a heavyweight champion from a world-renowned martial arts league.

Subduing a goblin so small that he could slam his head with his chin was nothing.

“Euraya!”

Choi Hyun-seok threw Hoken with all his might.

“Keeeek! Goblin, help!”

Hoken screamed and flew into the sky…

“Kwaang!”

Bobo roared powerfully and jumped up.

Thump!

The soft and easy-to-eat goblin Hoken went straight into Bobo’s mouth.

Crunch! Crack!

The sound of bones breaking and flesh being chewed was heard.

“Burp! Burp!”

Bobo smiled and burped, as if it was a satisfying meal.

“He eats well…”

Senior soldier Hoken, who taught the importance of meal preparation with his whole body.

Choi Hyun-seok quietly mourned his death.

***

Not long after the death of senior soldier Hoken.

Rahel, who had shown her face after a long time, was going through hardship.

“Kwang! Kwang!”

“Kyaaa! Hero-nim! Please do something about this son of a bitch!”

“What’s with an angel saying ‘son of a bitch’?”

Bobo was running around trying to catch Rahel, like a cat chasing a butterfly.

Thud! Thud!

Bobo was surprisingly agile for an oversized dog.

His speed was so fast that dust rose every time he stepped on the ground.

“Hey! Take it easy. What if Bobo gets hungry and you have to take responsibility?”

“Is that what’s important right now!?”

“Of course it’s important. The moment he gets hungry, I’ll become a lunch box like Hoken.”

“I’m about to become fairy sashimi right now!”

“Sashimi… Sashimi is good. Ah, I want to eat sashimi.”

It had been quite a while since he had eaten proper food.

“Hero-niiim!”

“Be quiet! I’m thinking!”

On the surface, it seemed like he was just throwing out mindless jokes, but no.

Choi Hyun-seok was really seriously contemplating.

‘How do I feed such a big guy to his fill…’

He absolutely couldn’t let the disaster of Bobo getting hungry happen.

Choi Hyun-seok could only survive by keeping Bobo full 24 hours a day.

‘First of all, it’s fortunate that there’s Bobo’s special feed (?)…’

Next to Bobo’s house, there was a storage room, and it was piled high with all sorts of unidentified meats.

‘The problem is that Bobo doesn’t even look at it.’

However, Bobo didn’t seem interested in his feed (mixed meats).

That’s what happened just now.

Hoken held out a large bowl, but Bobo didn’t eat it.

Perhaps it was because the lively Hoken who brought the feed looked more delicious.

‘I need something different.’

If it could be solved with feed in the first place, Hoken wouldn’t have emphasized the importance of food so much.

“Kwang! Kwang!”

“Kyaaaa!”

“Hmm… Think, think…!”

Even amidst the commotion, Choi Hyun-seok desperately pondered.

“Kwaang!”

“Kyaaaaaaaaa!”

“Hoken… feed… Hoken is feed… Hoken is delicious…”

As Choi Hyun-seok continued to think, he suddenly jumped up.

“Hoken’s last words before he died!”

The last words Hoken left before he died came to mind!

“We need to prepare a snack. Human! Hurry to the kitchen.”

Snack preparation! Kitchen!

These two words would be the solution.

‘He must have gotten some other ingredients from the kitchen!’

Hoken had clearly been satisfying the gourmet Bobo’s desires with a secret food he obtained from the kitchen.

‘But where is the kitchen?’

Choi Hyun-seok had just arrived at this huge castle today.

As soon as he arrived, he had an interview with the lip monster Legion Commander.

And was immediately assigned to the position of Bobo’s caretaker, which had a 99 percent mortality rate.

There was no way he would have any information.

‘I can’t just wander around alone…’

Who knows what kind of trouble he would get into if a human wandered around the castle alone.

The Demon King’s army basically hated humans.

Even Hoken had shown resistance to Choi Hyun-seok a little while ago.

The other Demon King’s soldiers would be worse, not less.

‘Think… think of a way…!’

A way to go to the kitchen and safely bring food.

He had to find that way.

‘Should I ask the Legion Commander?’

Choi Hyun-seok shook his head as he thought of Hemis.

‘This isn’t it.’

There’s no way that lip monster would care about him.

He would be lucky if he didn’t get harmed for no reason.

‘She might get angry that a mere soldier presumptuously asked to see the Legion Commander.’

Choi Hyun-seok squeezed his eyes shut as he briefly imagined his head going into Hemis’s lips.

‘Should I ask Raidrun?’

This was the most likely option to succeed.

But there was a problem with this method as well.

‘I don’t even know where Raidrun is right now.’

Unfortunately, Raidrun had hurriedly disappeared somewhere after the interview with Hemis.

It seemed like Hemis had given him a special order.

‘Please come to mind! The best idea!’

Even at this moment, Bobo was diligently chasing Rahel.

Which meant he was getting hungry in real time.

“Kwang! Kwang!”

“Kyaaa! Get lost, you mutt!”

At that rate, he would be hungry soon.

The moment Bobo’s stomach clock rang again, he would end his life as a lunch box.

“There must be a way…”

It was then,

Something suddenly flashed through Choi Hyun-seok’s mind.

‘Hero Shop!’

Choi Hyun-seok hurriedly opened the Hero Shop.

Then, without even breathing, he began to search for something while concentrating.

After a while.

Choi Hyun-seok cheered loudly after finding what he wanted.

“I knew it was there!”

The identity of the item was pet supplies.

***

There are basically two items in the Hero Shop.

[Hero Shop Lv.1]

– Ability

– Item

Choi Hyun-seok checked the items.

‘There were definitely all sorts of miscellaneous things here.’

To explain the items sold in the Hero Shop, there was everything except what wasn’t there.

– The moment your head touches it, you fall asleep instantly! Drug pillow!

– Dry firewood that burns well!

– High-quality sleeping bag for outdoor sleeping!

It was a list of items that made you wonder why they were selling such things in the Hero Shop.

Some of them seemed to have really impure intentions.

– The moment you drink it, you get high! DaXcho!

‘What kind of hero do you guys think I am…’

It was a list of items that made you wonder about the meaning of a hero, but what was important now was not the meaning.

“I knew it was there!”

Pet supplies.

He remembered seeing it when he looked at the Hero Shop before.

“Why are you selling pet supplies anyway? Huh!?”

“Hero-nim, please be patient! Maybe it will be useful somewhere?”

“Useful my ass!”

As the saying goes, you never know what will happen in life.

He had scolded Rahel, telling her not to talk nonsense at the time, but he really ended up buying those pet supplies.

– An extra-large bone that large dogs love!

‘I never thought the day would come when this would actually be useful…’

To be honest, it seemed really useless from the name, but at this moment, it was the best item.

Choi Hyun-seok checked the item’s detailed description.

□ Extra-large bone that large dogs love

Description: An extra-large bone that large dogs love.

Ability: Large dogs like it. You can gain the favor of large dogs.

Required Hero Points: 30

Even though the description had as little sincerity as a bird’s droppings, Choi Hyun-seok smiled.

“This is possible…!”

The first plan Choi Hyun-seok set up to survive.

The moment the so-called Bobo Playtime Operation began.
