The Hero Party’s Moms Are Obsessed With Me

It had been two months, and it was more bustling than expected.

It was still early dawn, and the snow that had fallen last night covered the backyard like a pure white canvas.

I wanted to be the first to leave a mark on the pure white snow.

“Have you awakened, Master?”

“When do you ever sleep, anyway?”

Elli, who always woke up earlier than me for morning training, was the top student.

With a small smile, she approached, treading on the still clean patches of the ground. Elli handed me a well-forged real sword, not a training sword.

“The offer is still valid, so come at me.”

She had made an offer that if she ever landed a successful hit on me, she would grant my wish, and it had been six months. After consuming a strange elixir that enhanced her body for two months, I had pushed myself with all my might every day, thinking that I’d succeed at least once.

“…”

But so far, I had only recorded defeats.

She gave me a real sword, not a training sword, probably because she believed her blade would never touch me. Unlike me, who could recover in an instant even if she struck me with a sword, she was just an ordinary human. If it had been Elli who consumed that elixir instead of me, would a monster capable of saying, “Farewell, hero,” have been born?

It was ten times the enhancement, not just two or three times.

“As I think about it, it suddenly makes me sad…”

Even with ten times the enhancement, I was still a swordplay loser who couldn’t land a single hit on Elli.

While I was lost in various thoughts, Elli’s sword suddenly stabbed into my right shoulder. I quickly rolled the sword to deflect her attack, and Elli stared at me with a serious expression.

“Peeking during a fight? Do you want to die?”

Elli, who would laugh heartily when holding my hand, was a warrior in front of me right now. I didn’t know the reason or the process, but the Elli in front of me was not the one I knew.

Clang!

I pushed her away, struggling with her attack, even with ten times the enhanced strength. If this was a 6th-grade knight, how strong would a hero who defeated the commander of the Hyung Order be?

How strong would a demon lord with similar skills to that hero be?

“Is it true that Rageta, who can defeat such a demon king, is a real monster?”

By some stroke of fate, the completed Rageta’s ultimate skill.

A beauty who complained about not being able to sleep in the same bed as me claims to be the ultimate.

Unintentionally, a chuckle escaped me, and Ellie seemed to interpret it differently.

“It can’t be helped. Even though I’ve given you advice, you’re thinking of another woman…”

“…?”

Thinking of another woman, not another thought?

As Ellie began to emanate a killing intent, she casually pointed her sword at the ground and drew the dagger hanging from her waist.

“Today, I’ll be a bit more serious.”

She dropped the dagger and lifted the sword.

Yet, she would be truly serious.

The implication was clear.

“Ah… I’m going to get beaten to a pulp…”

Thump! Thud!

It was the day I became a punching bag.

After enduring a one-sided beating for 30 minutes, my body refused to move as I wished.

“To deal damage beyond ten times the regenerative power… insane…”

As I lay sprawled on the pure white snowy ground, watching the sun rise slowly, Ellie, the one who had made me this way, sat down beside me.

“It’s not your fault, my lord. You were thinking of another woman during the training…”

Showing all kinds of embarrassment… even though you couldn’t stand to look…

I enjoyed Ellie’s touch for a moment, and my body began to function normally.

“The potion’s effect is amazing.”

It was a far cry from how I would have been complaining all day about these wounds in the past. They had healed in the blink of an eye.

Trembling, I got up from her lap, and Ellie seemed slightly disappointed, but she also stood up.

“Today…”

Just as Ellie was about to give a brief schedule update.

Ding! Ding!

From Noble mtl dot com

Ding! Ding!

The clock tower’s bells suddenly started to ring.

As the loud sound of the bell shattered the stillness of the dawn, we locked eyes and immediately jumped up, rushing into our rooms.

Ding! Ding!

Ding! Ding!

“It’s a demon!”

“From the east! The fire is rising from the eastern city wall!”

“Damn it! Why all this fuss in the morning!”

We pushed through the noisy inn corridor and entered our rooms.

“Milady! Levi! It’s a demon attack!”

Elli shouted urgently.

As soon as the door closed,

“Yes…?”

“Hmm… Elli…? Why are you suddenly… screaming like that…?”

“Haam… Did you sleep well, dear?”

A peaceful atmosphere that didn’t match the urgent situation outside could be felt.

“Huh, what?”

Was Elli dreaming?

Or was she affected by an illusion spell?

Elli thought as she lifted her head and opened the closed door again.

Ding! Ding!

Ding! Ding!

The loud sound of the bell echoed into the room from the corridor.

“Hmm? What’s that sound?”

“It’s noisy. Close the door quickly.”

Like magic, the door closed at Ragheta’s words.

As the door closed, it became quiet again.

“Ah… Uh… Sorry. I apologize, milady… It’s not that! It’s an emergency situation, milady! The city is under attack by demons!”

“Demons?”

Olivia had a look of complete confusion.

“Dear, just hold me tight.”

Ragheta was unnervingly calm.

Elli looked at me, as if asking for help, at the sight of the two of them.

Nodding my head, I walked over to my magical staff that had been laid next to the bed when Lageta embraced me from behind.

“What? Is everything okay here?”

“Huh?”

“This inn is under the influence of my magic. Unless the Dark Sorcerer appears, no one can penetrate my magic. So…”

She began to kiss my cheeks and ears and caress my body here and there.

“Hehe… Ah… I’m excited by Diem’s scent… Want to do something good with me, like mom?”

“This crazy girl! It’s not the time for that now! Please, say something, Lady Sarmo!”

“That’s right! Lageta! It’s unfair to monopolize the baby!”

“Yes! Lord Do-ryeon… Isn’t this inappropriate, my lady?”

I shook my head in response to the chaotic conversation of the three dizzy people, slipping out of Lageta’s grasp.

Ignoring the commotion coming from behind, I opened the window.

Deng! Deng!

Deng! Deng!

Loud bells filled the room.

Torchlight and the glow of magical devices dispelling the darkness of the sky.

“Uwaaaah!”

“Come on, come on. It’s okay. Don’t cry, alright?”

“Honey… you need to be careful…”

“I’ll be fine… I’ll be back.”

“Those who can fight, head to the east wall! Women and the elderly, go to the pulpit and the tower!”

“Emergency! Monsters are approaching from the south!”

“Darn it! Mercenaries, head south! Soldiers, head east!”

The desperate cries of people.

As I pointed outside with my finger, Lageta waved her hand and closed the window, silencing the source of the noise.

The room returned to tranquility as the door closed.

“Diem, you didn’t forget your goal by any chance while playing with the mercenaries here, did you?”

“Huh?”

“I should probably save those people outside. I need to go out and kill the monsters. Are you even thinking about something like that?”

“???”

“Get yourself together. Your goal is to protect Olivia.”

My goal is to protect someone like you. But you forgot about that goal and said we should play hero games?”

No, what nonsense.

No matter how fun playing mercenaries can be.

I will never forget my goal.

After swallowing so much filth in this filthy and rotten society, am I crazy enough to go out and save people?

Even at the cost of my own life?

I wish people wouldn’t misunderstand me like that.

When I say let’s go outside, it’s to avoid possible monster attacks.

To escape from the attention of others in the future.

No matter how safe it is here.

Even if the demon king comes and this place doesn’t collapse.

It would be strange if only this inn is fine when everything else around is a mess, right?

Even if it’s safe now, I’ll be misunderstood later.

Then my face and name will be ruined.

I wanted to escape and prevent such annoying things…

Even if I’m not a villain who kills people under the influence of power.

I’m not a saint who sacrifices myself like an idiot.

If you treat me well, I’ll treat you well too.

If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you even more.

A very ordinary and pathetic individual.

But why do people misunderstand me like that?

Should I speak up?

Should I abandon the concept of being silent and explain the misunderstanding?

When I was earnestly considering this, a strange voice echoed through the quiet room.

“I found you, the mother of heroes.”

I turned my head to the side and saw an indistinct figure standing there like a shadow, devoid of any color.

“And Ellie, please don’t bring any strange things.”

***

The ambitious dawn that has yet to rise.

A black presence stood on top of the tall clock tower in the center of the town, creating a silent city. The sun slowly began to rise.

7th rank demon Jelberian, who came to find the mother of the warrior at the command of his master, glanced around while waiting for the upcoming event.

“There are quite a few useful bugs around here.”

To him, humans were insignificant bugs.

Bugs that would explode with a bang if you touched them.

However, there were a few bugs in this village that seemed worth considering.

Bugs that could be called strong among humans, although they were not as powerful as himself, who was at the end of the 7th rank.

Especially his attention was drawn to a female swinging a club at a lowly bug in the empty space behind a three-story wooden building.

A being called a residual knight in the kingdom.

“If I catch her, the master will surely be pleased.”

He lightly thought as he infused a bit of his magic power into the female.

And not long after, a mass of monsters that he had prepared attacked the city.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

They made the city noisy.

Numerous bugs emerged from houses and disturbed the city.

Bugs that gathered here and dispersed there.

Jelberian closed his eyes and exerted his magic power throughout the city.

Amongst the fluctuating and swirling magic power, he found a place where it stopped.

“There…”

The three-story wooden building where he had seen the pleasing female a while ago.

“Is it a coincidence… or is that residual knight guarding the mother of the warrior…”

The probability was higher for the latter than the former.

To be able to bring the target, the warrior’s mother, and at the same time capture slaves that could be useful as byproducts… “What good luck.”

Jelberian chuckled softly and disappeared like cotton candy melting in water.

Jelberian, who moved through shadows.

He tried to enter using the magic power he had attached, but an invisible magical barrier blocked his approach.

“So… there’s another useful bug here.”

He was very lucky.

Rank 6 Knight Bug.

Rank 6 Wizard Bug.

Being able to catch both of these at once.

The one with its tail raised broke through the magical barrier and entered the room.

Inside the room, there were four bugs.

One was a lowly bug that didn’t possess any magical power.

One was a marked Knight Bug.

One appeared to be a wizard bug.

And the remaining one…

“Found it. The mother of the hero.”

Now, before all the demons outside that were drawing attention could be subjugated, I just needed to tidy up the situation.

“And Eli, don’t bring anything strange.”

With the cry of the bug suspected to be a wizard bug as the final sound.

No.

Poojik!

With the sound of something bursting as the final sound.

Jaelbrian’s senses were severed.
