"I will see you."
"No, that's okay."
Genoa's office again.
I was hating seeing Genoa, who promised to take me to the city of dwarves.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with accompanying her, the leader of her paladins.
But primarily, she had a duty to protect her estate, and the other problem was that her way of serving her was quite peculiar.
And the more serious of the two was, of course, the second reason.
Where did you get it from? I felt dizzy when I saw Genoa holding a whip and gag and exhaling hot breath.
Although it was written in the letter, I never expected that they would actually make it.
"Why the hell did you make that?"
"Yes, for the sake of the hero."
To the words I muttered to myself, I could see Genoa quickly replying.
I felt the need to change the subject of her more than Genoa, with her harness in her hands.
I didn't know if I would really have to ride a female knight and head to the Dwarf Village if I got caught up in it.
"By the way, did you receive any information about the Demon King's Army?"
"Well."
At my words, Genoa looked at me with a serious expression.
Anyway, she was also the one in charge of the territory near the border, so she must have been watching the movements of the Demon King's army.
"It's not accurate, but there was a rumor that the guild members on their way to the Dwarf Village saw a moving skeleton."
"Skull?"
I felt a chill run down my spine at Genoa's words.
Humans still don't know exactly the identity of the demon king's army, but I, who have returned, know exactly what their members are.
And the only person that comes to mind when thinking of a skull is the demon king.
Richie, Bahamons.
I couldn't be certain that it was moving just because a moving skeleton appeared, but since Balaam came out of Lilith's mouth, there was a good chance that the lich, Bahamons, was moving.
'Is it fortunate that Karen joined?'
It would have been nice if her saintess, Marian, had been present, but in fact, it was unclear how helpful she would be in the fight against the Lich.
In fact, Bahamons appeared a long time ago in the previous episode, and the saintess at that time was like a nightmare to the undead, but Marianne now fell far short of that.
Fortunately, Karen's skills with her were not to be underestimated even at this time, and her compatibility with her with the wizard, Richie, wasn't too bad.
'If I train properly, it will take enough time.'
"Me, the warrior?"
While I was in so much trouble, I heard Genoa calling me.
Before she knew it, she was holding back the whip and gag she had made in her hands.
I knew what Genoa wanted, but I got up quickly.
It wasn't that she didn't enjoy her time with her, but that she needed to properly train Karen to deal with her Baja Mons.
"Sorry, Genoa. Let's play with that later."
"Me later?"
Leaving behind the rapidly depressed Genoa, I quickly left her office.
**
"How does this work?"
"If you touch it like that, it will break."
"Oh, don't worry. You can claim damages to the imperial palace."
Finding Karen wasn't as difficult as I thought.
She didn't listen to me tell her to go to her room, but as soon as she looked around her estate, she heard Karen's voice.
Karen was in the middle of her squabble with a merchant, and I looked at her with a troubled expression.
Even in her previous life, she knew that her Karen was reckless, but when she was put in a situation where there was no one to control her, she felt tired.
'Anyway, I'll have to fix this habit once.'
I secretly took Karen's side in front of the dwarves, but I was the one who got tired the most when she kept repeating the same thing.
I approached Karen, determined to get into some habit-changing under the guise of her training.
"Karen."
"Oh, warrior. Do you have any idea how this works?"
What Karen asked was a moving doll.
Even at a glance, the dolls were covered with the skills of the dwarves.
Apparently, because it was a territory close to the Dwarf City, the things they made flowed into it.
The only problem was that the dwarf-made doll was acting strangely unpleasant.
"Master, what the hell is this thing used for?"
"I don't know. It was just made by the dwarves, so I brought it because I thought it might be useful."
I looked at the doll, shaking its whole body like a madman, then turned my gaze back to Karen.
After all, the important thing now was to train Karen Cross, not that weird doll.
"Karen, let's train with me."
"Training?"
I straight-forwardly told her Karen knew her purpose for finding her, and Karen raised one of her eyebrows at my words and asked.
"Yes, your skills might not be enough at this rate. You need to train a little more."
"Warrior."
At her words, Karen looked at me with her characteristic expressionless face.
"The reason I lost to you before was simply because I was careless. If we face it again, there is no chance that the same thing as before will happen. It's a bit unpleasant for you, who are weaker than me, to talk about my skills."
I looked at Karen, who said that with a troubled face.
Actually, it was not unusual for her to react that way.
Since she was very young, she grew up listening to the sound of a genius, and it was a woman named Karen Cross who also had that much skill.
But the Karen I experienced firsthand was still lacking in her experience.
Her ability to use her magic and her speed are unmatched by her peers, but she's not yet used to fighting.
If she competed justly with her magical skills, Karen would never be inferior to the Bahamons, but if she fought like this, she would be inevitably defeated.
"Then why don't you check it yourself? Couldn't you just talk with your mouth?"
"If you really need to check, fine."
To my words, Karen responded with her proudly wounded face.
Perhaps I thought it was possible because of a fluke and the surprise that I had fainted before.
Karen also said that she would cut off my arm, but it was true that she dealt with me moderately.
But neither did I, who did not reveal her true abilities.
"It's the same here; let's go somewhere secluded."
**
"This should be fine."
Heading to the wide open space outside the estate, I turned to Karen and said that.
If it were this far apart from the territory, there wouldn't be anyone getting involved in a fight between me and Karen.
"Is it? Then shall we begin?"
Karen looked at me coldly and said that.
He must have kept in mind the fact that he had passed out after being hit in the stomach before.
Instead of giving her an answer to Karen's words, I ran straight at her.
"Laugh! Meanly."
"Where's the shame in fighting?"
As I got closer, Karen quickly backed away and fired a fireball at me.
She hurriedly twisted her body to avoid it, but she felt the heat so hot that her whole body would burn if she was hit.
"Under? Is it severe for sparring?"
"Because it's a body that won't die anyway."
Saying so, Karen was again generating cold ice cubes in her hand.
I glared at her, stiffening her expression at the speed of her magic casting her, like her madness.
As I approached Karen, rapidly shaking her body, I kicked a stone that was rolling on her floor.
In an instant, Karen, seeing a boulder flying towards her face at her high speed, hurriedly threw her ice cube.
The stone I flew and the ice fragment collided in the air, and of course the stone, which had no power, froze to the spot with Karen's magic.
But in that moment, I diligently moved her body, and I was already close to Karen.
"Death…"
Puck!
Before I could finish Karen's words, I thrust my fist straight into her stomach.
I felt Karen's tender belly touching my fist, and I saw Karen's slender body folded into her memory.
"Broken."
"There is nothing mean in a fight. Are you going to say that to the demon king?"
I said that as I looked down at Karen, who was sitting on the floor, gasping for breath.
As if the pain in her stomach was no joke, Karen looked up at me with her teary-eyed face.
"Let's do it again, again."
After being hit by similar numbers twice, it seems that the heat has been properly received.
I looked at Karen, who was very feverish, and she gently raised the corner of her mouth.
