My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

3 – Hero’s Childhood Friend (3)

When I said I was leaving, so many people saw me off.

I don’t think I’ve done much while I was in the Empire, so why are you so grateful to me…?

After all, I’m the weakest in the warrior’s party, so I don’t know if I deserve to be treated like this.

Anyway, well now I really have to leave the Empire. It was me who had become a body that could no longer enter the empire.

From now on, I will go anywhere other than the Empire. That’s what I was thinking.

“Hmm…”

But the problem was that I hadn’t thought about where I was going yet. For now, I only thought about leaving the empire, and I didn’t decide where to go.

So I could only think while slowly driving the wagon. Where should I go?

Where is the best place to go?

“If I hadn’t had a hero’s party, wouldn’t I have been a professor at an academy somewhere?”

And while thinking about that, the first thing that came to my mind was ‘academy professor’. I had always wanted to become an academy professor as a career.

Because it’s a job where you can teach moderately, play moderately, and research moderately, right? It was a very suitable job for me, who prioritized money and work intensity.

I might have been an academy professor if my childhood friend Chloe hadn’t invited me to a warrior’s party in the first place. In fact, I even went as far as working at the academy.

Because I was like that, it wouldn’t be bad to be an academy professor. It took a bit of time, but I think trying to become an academy professor is fine in its own way.

“As expected, it is impossible to become an academy professor now…”

But it was just a thought. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I can become an academy professor again. Because the situation is too bad to be an academy professor right now.

I am a wizard of the warrior party who was expelled from the empire. Of course, the reputation I have right now must be really bad.

But if I were to become an academy professor, would the academy welcome me? I couldn’t be certain about that part. The chances of being rejected were very high.

“Then, would you like to go back to Master? Would you like a seat in the Magic Tower?”

After reluctantly giving up on becoming an academy professor, what I thought of was Master.

The teacher who made me a wizard, maybe working under her would be enough. I thought I would like to.

When I failed to become an academy professor, Master always urged me to work under him, so I didn’t hate working under him either. Because I also wanted to work at the Mage Tower as a mage.

“No… It’ll be good if you don’t get hit by Master.”

But, it seemed like that wouldn’t work either. Again, I was a wizard expelled from the Empire.

That wasn’t enough, so I quit even the warrior party. If I go back like that, Master might be angry.

He might try to hit me for raising me wrong. At worst, it might excommunicate me. For some reason, I couldn’t readily choose the option of going to the Mage Tower to see Master.

“Hmm…”

In a situation where neither this nor that was possible, I had no choice but to fall into deep trouble.

What on earth am I supposed to do in a situation like this? What can I do? What do I want to do?

I fell into deep trouble, and after a while I was able to come up with an answer.

“Yes…! Let’s farm…!”

The answer was farming. What I could do, what I wanted to do, and what I had to do was farming.

If you think about it, the life of farming or building may not be so bad.

I already have a lot of money, and it wouldn’t be bad to live in a peaceful countryside doing farming for exercise.

“From now on, I’m going to the new kingdom, Alprada Kingdom. And I’m going to farm there.”

I live leisurely and peacefully. Rather, this might be better than the wizard of the warriors party.

Of course, in the past, I wouldn’t have made such a decision, but since I’ve already accomplished a lot as a mage, I don’t have any goals, so I don’t think it matters.

I live peacefully by going to a place with good water and good hospitality and farming. I think that would be a very good plan.

I thought so, and immediately turned around. The place I was going to was the most peaceful kingdom on the continent, Alprada Kingdom.

“But… What if I don’t welcome you when I say I’m going?”

But while I was on my way, I started to worry about one more thing. The kingdom of Alprada, where I go, what if they don’t let me in?

I wasn’t going there to do anything special. I just try to farm quietly.

My goal is to live a very ordinary life. But what should I do if even such an ordinary life is not allowed?

“Ugh…”

I don’t know if they will accept me. I’m on my way to Alprada Kingdom, but honestly, I couldn’t help but be a little worried.

“What? The wizard of the warrior party is coming? Of course I can’t let you in here…!”

Hans, the guard of Alprada Kingdom, couldn’t help but lament the current situation.

The situation in which Xerath, the wizard of the warrior party who was banished from the empire, is now coming here to Alprada Kingdom, this situation must have been really absurd.

Perhaps he was kicked out by the Empire. I know that rumor. Perhaps he wants to enter the kingdom.

“Didn’t the wizard of the warrior’s party get kicked out for no reason?”

Of course I could never accept him. If he was banished from the empire in the first place, would he be a proper guy? Absolutely no way.

It was obvious that he was an evil wizard who used evil magic and did bad things behind the scenes.

Even if it was his own misunderstanding, even a decent person couldn’t accept it. This is because the small kingdom of Alprada may receive some kind of retaliation after receiving the criminal who was banished from the empire.

“I will never accept it. Even if dirt gets in my eyes, I will never pass through this door. As Hans, the proud guard of this kingdom, I will definitely defend this place.”

So Hans had no choice but to swear right here and now. He could never accept Xerath, an evil wizard who threatened the kingdom.

Hans, a young and ambitious guard, determined to defend this gate with a desperate resolve.

In order to protect his lovely family and the people of his country, he vowed to fight against the wizard of the warrior party.

Tak!!!!

“Ahh!!! Who is it?”

But in the meantime, someone hits her head hard. Who hit you on the head in this desperate situation?

Hans looked back with an angry face. He intends to beat the man who hit him.

“It is me. You bastard.”

But I couldn’t. Because the man who hit his own head was preoccupied with his superior, the captain of the guard.

That’s why Hans was a little taken aback, but even so, does it make sense for the captain to hit his subordinate on the head?

Moreover, it was unreasonable for him to beat himself like this, a guard who was extremely devoted to the country. So Hans stiffened his head again and argued with his superior.

“Why are you beating me…!? Captain. This is an assault…!”

“It’s assault and false.

But the only thing that came back was the guard captain’s wrath.

In the end, Hans had no choice but to be beaten more by Mordu, who was even more angry.

The reason why Mordu, the captain of the guard, was angry now, was actually a very natural reason.

“There’s a pumpkin rolling right in, and it’s making a kicking sound. It’s kicking something away. You bastard.”

There is no one who does not know the value of Xerath, the wizard who was kicked out by the empire.

Since he was kicked out of the Empire, countless people now want to recruit Xerath with their eyes open.

The Academy, the Mage Tower, and many other kingdoms also want to recruit Xerath. They were begging Xerath to visit them wherever they were.

“A noble person came to our kingdom, and of course we shouldn’t treat him as a state guest.”

That was the value of a mage named Xerath. He is a man of such great worth that even the chief of the guards of a small kingdom knows him very well.

But how crazy is this to kick Xerath out? It was absolutely impossible.

Of course, this was an opportunity. He had to look as good as possible for the mage named Xerath.

“Tell the king and the princess right away. Hero Xeras, the wizard of the warrior party who saved our kingdom in the past, is coming!!!”

We have to recruit him into Alprada Kingdom somehow. And for that, I should inform the king of the kingdom right away.

While thinking so, he hurriedly told the soldiers under his command to report to the castle.

“Whoa… Whoa… We’ve already arrived, at full speed.”

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…!?”

But the king had already arrived.

He didn’t even change his pajamas, it was the king who came running in a hurry at the news that Xerath was coming.
