The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Recruitment (3)

At first, I thought it was strange.

When told to go to the outskirts of the castle rather than to a shack in the slums, Kevin looked puzzled because he didn’t know why.

‘Why are you telling me to go here?’

I never imagined that I would have moved.

Kevin’s parents didn’t have enough money to move to the castle, so they scrapped and used all of their emergency funds at the threat of Blood Fang.

So I simply understood that there was a ‘business’ there.

That was the line of common sense that Kevin could think of, and he stopped by the bakery to buy baguettes and whipped cream with the intention of meeting his parents and younger sister.

‘Marie would really like it.’

Marie was her sister.

Marie complained about why we couldn’t eat freshly made bread while eating hard bread every morning.

At that time, I couldn’t say that I would buy it even when I saw the bread being put down with a sullen face.

The price of freshly made bread and bread that has cooled and become hard was more than twice the price, and in particular, I did not dare to buy fresh cream that I spread on bread.

You can indulge yourself once in a while.

However, knowing that the price of extravagance is hunger, Kevin, who had matured at an early age, stuffed hard bread into his mouth.

And now.

It was different from before.

There was a lot of money left after buying bread and whipped cream, and Kevin intended to give it all to his parents’ pocket money.

A laugh came out.

With light steps, I arrived at the place I was told before I knew it.

however.

“… What is this?!”

Mouth gaped.

sight in front of your eyes.

A sense of discord arose.

My parents, who lived in a shack, were drinking tea in the yard of a nice wooden house, and warm bread was steaming on the table.

And that wasn’t all.

Sister Marie, who used to wear shabby clothes made of sewn pieces of cloth, wore a white dress and watered the flowers in the yard.

The world has changed.

Kevin’s family was no longer poor, but lived a commoner’s life where they could enjoy everyday things.

“brother!”

“son?!”

Kevin’s family found him belatedly.

Marie ran to her and gave her a hug, and Clark and Michelle also had tears in their eyes seeing their son’s face after a long time.

It was time for a reunion.

Even though the bread and whipped cream he had prepared were overshadowed, Kevin was sincerely relieved that his family was getting along so well.

And I was curious.

family changes.

I mean what happened in the past.

His father, Clark, spoke on behalf of the family.

“At first, we were very embarrassed. Master Roman’s servant, Mr. Hans, came and said that it was Master Roman’s order, and gave us a house to live in and land to cultivate. Not only that, but he also gave me connections and financial support so that I could get a place in the castle. recent few days. This father seems to be living in a dream. In the ghetto… … .”

Father’s talk was long.

He talked about how his life had changed so far.

however.

At some point, Kevin stopped hearing his father’s words.

The fact that the change in the family came from Roman flashed into his mind what Roman had said to him.

“From now on, your family will not have to worry about making a living. In a warm house that blocks the cold wind, you will have three delicious meals every day, and you will live a life where you not only spend each day doing hard work, but also enjoy your hobbies. The way to live like that is simple. I intend to do that in the future.”

The day Roman accepted Kevin.

Roman promised.

Kevin thought that he had to give his life for Roman with the grace he had received so far, but Roman was keeping his promise without even knowing it.

Kevin’s family no longer worried about making ends meet.

The wooden house blocked the cold wind, and the food on the table showed a prosperous life.

Moment.

I was crying.

Kevin lowered his head at the hot emotion welling up in his heart and swallowed his tears.

‘… thank you.’

Thank you.

In a class society where the difference in status is sky-high.

Roman did not turn away from his promise to an ordinary boy who was nothing.

His beliefs were not wrong.

Roman was a man worth giving his life for, and now I thought I could die with a smile if I died for him.

‘Let’s go back.’

now.

This is not the time to be so relaxed.

At Barco’s social party, he knew how powerless he was, so he needed to become stronger by practicing the Ghost Magic Ball as soon as possible.

Even if he died in the process, it didn’t matter.

Roman will keep his promise to take care of his family, and as long as he has that confidence, he has no regrets about this choice.

blast furnace.

will be strong

Once again, Kevin had his mind set on Roman.

however.

Clarke, who had been talking a lot until just now, looked at Kevin’s face and his expression hardened in shock.

“… Were you beaten by Master Roman by any chance?”

wounds on the face.

The red, swollen cheeks were clearly a sign of violence.

The human heart is cunning.

Kevin’s parents, who had been expressing their gratitude to Roman until just a moment ago, showed ferocious faces.

“Tell me honestly. Did Master Roman really put his hand on your face?”

It was misleading.

Dmitry’s jerk.

The rumors that undermined Roman’s reputation included the evil act of throwing a sword at commoners.

If the.

If the traces of violence were by Roman.

It seemed that Kevin’s parents couldn’t stand the goodwill they had paid for Kevin’s pain.

“no. Master Roman is absolutely not the kind of person to do that!”

“Then why is your face the way it is?”

“That’s true… … .”

Kevin hastily waved his hand.

In response to his parents’ desire for the truth, he was compelled to tell him about his experience at Barko’s social party.

“… For that reason, I was slapped on the cheek by a knight of the Barco family. But Master Roman did not stand by and gave it to me instead. Conversely, I punished Barco’s knight in front of everyone, asking why he was beating his own person. Thanks to that, I was able to avoid falling into a clown in front of people. So don’t misunderstand Master Roman. I know that Bocchan Roman is called a bad nickname, but in reality, the Bocchan I experienced was never a violent person.”

“Is that true?”

“yes. You know I’m not one to lie to my parents. Please treat Master Roman as precious.”

Kevin’s words.

The Clarks looked at each other with puzzled faces.

It would be fortunate if it wasn’t Roman’s doing.

However, from common sense, beating Kevin is a very easy way to solve the problem rather than punishing Barco’s knight.

Nevertheless, according to Kevin, Roman punished Barco’s knight.

sure

It was different from rumors.

If what Kevin said was even half true, Roman was completely different from the character everyone misunderstood.

Michelle said.

“You are very grateful. It’s not enough to think of our son as precious, but to take care of us as a family. son What Master Roman did was never an easy decision. We must remember that fact and devote ourselves to him more than we received from Master Roman.”

“okay. If there is anything we can do for you too, please come and tell us at any time.”

It was the sincerity of the parents.

I didn’t know then.

Parents’ reactions were genuinely thrilled.

The fact that they completely fell in love with Roman’s personality, and that this became the starting point for igniting rumors.

The reunion time was brief.

And the aftermath spread quickly.

* * *

The day after Kevin passed away.

Clarke, who had been reunited with his friends in the slums after a long time, could not hold back his tickling mouth and spoke about what had happened.

“I can’t believe the rumors of the world. You know very well that our Kevin serves Master Roman, right? But according to Kevin, Master Roman is a truly aristocratic aristocrat worthy of noblesse oblige.”

“Dmitry’s idiot? no way!”

“Hey man. How did I get the house I live in and the land I farm? Master Roman gave it to us for Kevin. Just looking at it, you can understand the character of Master Roman well. And not only that, but this time there was an incident where Kevin accompanied Barko to a social party. There was a fight with the knights of Barco, but Master Roman said that he would protect his man, Kevin, and blew the cheek of the knight Barco in front of everyone. That person is Roman Dmitry.”

“Is it really?”

“okay! Whose family are you? I mean, one person got it right.”

It was a small rumor at first.

However, rumors soon spread around Dmitri, and Michelle, who heard them, set fire to the rumors.

town laundry.

While doing the laundry, Michelle answered the questions of the women around her.

“… Are the rumors true? That Master Roman severely punished Barco’s knights for Kevin’s sake?”

“Oh my, where did you hear that again? Having said that, Master Roman is a person who really values his people, including Kevin. That’s why Barco’s eldest son took Kevin’s side even though he was screaming that he would punish him severely. Have you ever heard that there are such nobles in the world? Dmitry’s jerk? That’s all nonsense. I don’t know what kind of guys dare to tarnish our Roman Dmitri’s reputation, but in reality, they wouldn’t even dare to look up properly because of the halo?”

“Didn’t you say you saw Roman Dmitri mess around before?”

“What! Either I saw something wrong, or someone similar to Master Roman must have been messing around.”

son’s benefactor.

Michelle even remodeled (?) bad memories.

The days when he was called Dmitri’s jerk and now were too different to be the same person.

Rumors tend to start at the bottom.

Clark and Michelle’s words spread around, and it gradually gained weight, completely inverting Roman’s image.

people said

“Roman Dmitry is a person who values his people. If you get his trust, you can live a completely different life than before. Kevin from the slums and the Clark family who succeeded in entering prove him.”

Rumors swelled.

And just in time.

Roman posted an announcement that he would recruit soldiers.

It was never the intended timing.

“… For this reason, many people want to apply for this enlistment. So give up. Don’t waste your energy at Dmitri because all the guys who say they’re working hard are clamoring to apply.”

The old man finished talking.

The Private Troubles (大亂).

Dmitri was excited about one of Roman’s posts.

Lucas, who had been quietly listening to the old man, reacted with confusion at the gap in his memories.

‘The Roman Dmitri I know isn’t the kind of guy who deserves this kind of reputation. Has Roman Dmitri really changed completely? Even if the events from the subjugation of Blood Fang to Barko’s social party are only half true, Roman is not so bad as to be called Dmitri’s jerk.’

Interest turned.

Roman Dmitry.

What kind of change has happened to him?

and.

As rumor has it, if you are a person who values your people, it is worth thinking about becoming an enlisted soldier as Lucas.

‘The problem is that there are no such nobles in the world.’

That’s something to check for yourself.

At first, it was tempting.

I thought that I should take the test for fun because it is not too late to withdraw after seeing the test.

At times, the mercenary work was boring.

D-3 days until the application deadline.

Cases like Lucas weren’t alone.

Because of those who broke down the barriers of prejudice, a large number of people headed to Dmitri Castle on the day of the exam.

recruiting enlisted men.

Due to unintentional rumors, it has grown to an all-time scale.
