Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad - Chapter 34

Battalion commander Doras!

He has been a battalion commander for almost three years, so he was relatively new.

“It’s peaceful. So peaceful.”

Doras felt fortunate.

He started working at the headquarters of the 3rd Legion as soon as he became a battalion commander.

This giant black star is one of the safest places in the world.

There was the legion captain stationed here, as well as more than 10,000 soldiers.

Humans didn’t dare come all the way here, and even if they came, it would quickly be solved once the captain stepped forward.

So there is no threat of war.

Doras’ days became very peaceful ever since he became a battalion commander.

Because of that, Doras has gained a lot of weight, but even that he liked.

The thick flesh was proof of peace.

“

“Peaceful army. Peaceful~”

A demon who loves peace within the demon army!

Doras was smiling peacefully as he ate an unknown fruit.

Bang!

Someone urgently knocked on the door.

Doras frowned at his interrupted peace.

“Battalion commander Doras! There’s a big problem!”

The soldier who stormed in was a familiar demon.

He was a soldier who did various chores on his behalf.

“What’s the big problem?”

Doras asked with a sour expression.

How dare he disturb his peace.

He was going to kill him and have him replaced if it’s something trivial.

“The battalion soldiers are gone!”

“What the hell!?”

Doras sprang to his feet.

“Don’t tell me they deserted!?”

Other than desertion, there could be no other reason why a large number of soldiers left.

‘Why!? What the hell!?’

He didn’t think he was so mean to his soldiers.

Just get together when they’re bored and throw him parties.

And instead of walking, he had them make him a giant sedan chair and carry him around

He had ordered a lot of other things, but he didn’t think he had asked too much.

Anyway, he couldn’t believe they had deserted!

And worse of all, his position could be compromised.

However, the soldier’s following words came as a complete surprise to him.

“It’s not desertion!”

“Huh? It’s not?”

Why would a large number of soldiers leave if it wasn’t desertion?

“They transferred to the kitchen.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Doras breathed a sigh of relief.

He flopped down on his chair.

“All that fuss over nothing.”

The cooking unit has always been shorthanded.

Though, it was common to get permission from the battalion commander himself first.

“I heard a human will be in charge of the kitchen this time?”

The head cook this time was a human.

“Well, the stupid human did it without knowing the procedure. I’ll be magnanimous and let it slide. Tell him to be careful next time.”

He was a human who the captain watched with great interest.

There was no reason to break the peace by touching him for no reason.

“That’s not it! Battalion commander!”

“What else?”

“Half of the battalion has already been called in as cooks!”

“Huh?”

Half the battalion.

He wondered why Choi Hyun-seok was recruiting so many brainless cooks.

“Half the battalion!? How many cooks does he need!?”

“He has already recruited more than 200!”

“This crazy human…!”

Doras’ peace was being broken.

* * *

At the same time, Choi Hyun-seok was still recruiting cooks.

“I-I’ll be a cook!”

Said a demon who resembles a hedgehog with tears in his eyes.

“All right. Then go get a friend.”

“F-friend…?”

“Yeah. You can bring one of the guys who eat, sleep, or play with you. He’ll be a cook too.”

“Got it!”

The soldier enthusiastically limped away with one thought in mind.

‘I can’t be the only one to get beaten…!’

Sharing one’s joy also means sharing one’s sorrow.

The soldier forgot his pain as he ran to give his colleague that he had always disliked the same chance.

“Good, good. It’s going extremely well.”

A considerable number of soldiers have been recruited after a little over two hours.

“Hero! You’ve got a lot!”

Rachel said excitedly.

“Wow, how many people are there!? Look! It’s like an animal kingdom!”

Dogs, pigs, cows, horses, lions, and etc!

Behind Choi Hyun-seok were soldiers with various faces limping and following him.

“This was all possible because of my great charisma.”

“Well…”

“

Rachel thought for a moment.

She didn’t think it was because of his great charisma, but rather his great kick that made them follow him.

It didn’t matter.

As long as the outcome was good.

It’s been a while since she spoke her mind, and she didn’t want to rain on his parade.

“Yes! You’re the best!”

“Hahaha!”

“Kakaka!”

Rachel and Choi Hyun-seok laughed loudly.

The soldiers that were following behind looked at them with disgust.

“He’s a demon…”

“There’s no way he’s human…”

They were boiling with anger, but all they could do is quietly whisper their discontent.

The law is far away, and the low kick is close.

“By the way, Hero. How many are you going to recruit? It looks like you already have over 200?”

“Well. Shouldn’t I recruit about 300?”

“That many?”

“They’re going to get killed every time we go hunting, so I’m going to recruit a lot in advance. It would be annoying to keep having to walk around.”

“I see.”

Hemi didn’t say how many soldiers he should recruit.

So he was going to recruit as many as he could.

“By the way, why isn’t that guy coming back?”

The hedgehog he sent last hasn’t returned.

“Maybe he ran away?”

“How dare he…! If he really ran away, I’m going to grab him and pull out all his needles!”

“That’s a good idea!”

The hero and fairy were very cooperative when it came to bad things.

“Ah! There he is.”

It seems the hedgehog came after all.

He could see the hedgehog that left earlier returning.

Choi Hyun-seok narrowed his eyes.

There was something strange about the soldier the hedgehog had brought.

“What’s this? I asked him to bring a colleague and he brought a pig?”

A fat pig was walking with a sway behind the hedgehog.

“There was a guy like that in the demon army?”

It was hard to find a soldier of that size among the demons here who all have huge muscles.

Rachel’s face turned sour.

“Hero. Isn’t that pig a little weird…?”

“Of course he’s weird. How the hell is he in the demon army?”

“No not that. It’s his mana…”

Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel’s mana were linked.

So, as Choi Hyun-seok’s mana grew, so did hers.

Rachel felt an unusual energy from the walking pig.

“Try the scouter.”

“Okay.”

Without asking why, Choi Hyun-seok used the scouter.

He frowned when he saw what was on the lens.

“Ah, what’s wrong with it? Is it broken?”

He took off the scouter, hit it a few times, and put it on again.

And yet, Choi Hyun-seok’s crumpled expression didn’t unfold.

“Well…that’s weird.”

“Why? What does it say?”

“That pig. It says his combat power is unmeasurable?”

“…”

Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel faced each other without saying a word.

Both instinctively felt something was wrong.

“Let’s run…?”

“Let’s run?”

They both said the same thing at the same time as if it was coordinated.

Facing each other, Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel nodded and then turned back.

“Naturally…”

“Let’s go back as if nothing had happened.”

He tried to escape quietly, but it was too late.

“Hey! You there!”

Choi Hyun-seok ignored it and continued to walk.

“Don’t ignore me! The human with Bobo! Choi Hyun-seok!”

The pig pointed at Choi Hyun-seok and shouted.

“Ah…there was Bobo.”

“Hek, hek!”

Bobo smiled and turned around when his name was called.

“There’s nothing I can do…”

With his huge size, it’s impossible to escape without getting caught.

Choi Hyun-seok turned around helplessly.

He smiled as brightly as he could to show that he knew nothing.

“Yes! You called me?”

“Yes. I’m Doras, the 3rd battalion commander.”

“Ah! You were a battalion commander! I’m Choi Hyun-seok, the head cook.”

A cold sweat rolled down the back of Choi Hyun-seok’s head.

“Choi Hyun-seok, I already know you are the head cook.”

“I-it’s an honor. But my lord, did you need something from me…?”

“Don’t pretend. I know everything.”

“What?”

“To recruit everyone from my battalion, what are you thinking!?”

“Huh!?”

He couldn’t believe he took everyone from his battalion.

It was news to him.

At that moment, something crossed Choi Hyun-seok’s mind.

‘These guys were all from the same unit!’

Since he operated like a pyramid scheme, he had unintentionally recruited all the soldiers from the same battalion.

“Ah! I’m sorry…”

“No excuses!”

Choi Hyun-seok kept his mouth shut.

The pig battalion commander, Doras, squinted his eyes that were buried beneath his flesh.

“Follow me. Let’s talk in my office.”

“Yes…”

Choi Hyun-seok sighed inwardly.

‘No wonder things were going so well.’

* * *

There was a fragment smell as soon as he stepped into Doras’ office.

‘It looks delicious…’

On top of Doras’ desk was full of tempting fruits and juicy meats.

“What the hell are you thinking?”

Said Doras as he sat in a chair eating a fruit.

Only then did Choi Hyun-seok come to his senses and speak.

“Ah, I’m sorry about that. I didn’t mean to.”

“Didn’t mean to?”

“Yes! The captain said I could pick my own cooks. So I did. That’s why I brought in the most imposing soldiers, and of course, they were your men of all things, your great battalion commander.”

Choi Hyun-seok’s tongue danced brilliantly.

He implicitly mentioned the captain’s order and at the same time praised the battalion commander Doras.

“Well…is that so.”

The flattery was a success.

Doras’ expression became more relaxed.

In fact, all the senior commanders in the legion knew Choi Hyun-seok.

Hemi had directly ordered that he could not be harmed.

Doras didn’t want to stir up trouble with Choi Hyun-seok anyway.

All he wanted was peace.

“It’s because I’m ignorant! I’m sorry. I’ll bring your men back.”

And it was the same with Choi Hyun-seok who didn’t want to stir up trouble.

‘I’ll just recruit soldiers from somewhere else.’

He was thinking of sending all the soldiers back.

“

Although a little troublesome it was the simplest and easiest way to end things.

However, something unexpected came out of Doras’ mouth.

“That’s out of the question.”

“What?”

“Sending all my men back. Won’t that be weird?”

“Not at all! It was my mistake…”

“No, no, no. I can’t take a soldier back once they have been transferred to another commander.”

Doras chewed off a chunk of meat.

“Crunch! Crunch!”

Greedily chewing on the meat, he looked at Choi Hyun-seok with treacherous eyes.

‘Something’s wrong…’

Choi Hyun-seok, who has a lot of sense in this regard, instinctively noticed.

This fat pig was plotting something evil.

“Keep the soldiers and use them.”

“Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“Well, you can keep the soldiers. But there’s a condition.”

“A condition…?”

What he had guessed has finally come.

“It’s nothing much. I’d like another soldier from my battalion to be a cook. I’m sure that won’t be a problem?”

Fortunately, Doras’ condition was a simple affair.

‘It’s no big deal having one more soldier.’

Choi Hyun-seok nodded.

“Yes. Leave it to me!”

In any case, Doras’ thought was obvious.

‘It looks like he’s passing a nuisance onto me.’

It was clear that the soldier was a pain in the ass.

‘It’s not a matter of strength…It must be a political issue.’

As a result of his stay in the demon army, Choe Hyeon-seok knew.

Even among the demons, there was a social hierarchy.

It was in some ways akin to humans.

Demons put great importance on family and lineage.

It was inevitable because their capabilities and growth were divided depending on their bloodline.

‘Maybe it’s a spoiled young master of some family?’

Choi Hyun-seok had his own imagination as he thought of the different possibilities.

‘I don’t care what it is.’

To begin with, Choi Hyun-seok was relatively free from these political issues.

‘My representative is the captain. You rascal.’

Behind Choe Hyeon-seok is one of the five captains in the entire demon army.

There was no reason to bend unless the opponent was the son of a Demon King.

Boom…! Boom…!

It was then.

The office began to shake with noises coming from afar.

“Oh, he’s here.”

Doras grinned.

Perhaps the soldier he spoke of has come.

‘Something feels strange…’

For some reason.

Choi Hyun-seok instinctively felt that things weren’t right.

As if what was coming was not a spoiled young master of some family.

Eventually the door to the office opened.

“Let me introduce you. This is Usaru.”

Doras explained.

Choi Hyun-seok looked at the soldier with a bewildered look.

‘What’s this…’

The soldier was an enormous giant.

“Usa~ru!”

His head, which pushed its way into the office, was almost as big as the office door.

“Captain. This soldier…?”

“Ah! I forgot to tell you. Usaru is of mixed race, born between an ogre and an orc.”

Doras said casually.

‘That’s not something you would forget!’

It was impossible not to remember.

“Please take good care of Usaru!”

“Yes…”

“Usa~ru!”

All of a sudden, he became responsible for a strange guy.
