Raising A Hero – Chapter 23

Ch 23: Teacher and Housekeeper

Ah, ahㅡ!

The princess was kicked by Ji-hyuk several times. Of course, she couldn’t succeed in attacking even once.

Her state became a complete mess. She couldn’t bear this humiliation because it was the first time she had suffered such a harsh fate.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t beat him. That seemed even more maddening.

“Huk, uhuk, huk….”

Eventually, tears streamed down. She felt like she was going crazy with resentment, but it was so frustrating that she couldn’t do anything. So, she glared at him as if she would kill him, shedding tears.

“Ah, I’m going to tell Father everything. I’m going to tell him everything! I’m going to tell your fathers everythingㅡ!”

Elizabeth went wild, pointing her fingers at them.

“Huk, I’ll tell Father everything, and I won’t leave you guys alone. Huk, Keup, I’ll tell him everything. I won’t leave you alone. I won’t leave you aloneㅡ!”

Chihiㅡ. Ji-hyuk couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, she said she would tell her father. He thought she had some guts, but it seemed that those pampered little brats were just like that.

Jerin quickly helped the princess up. “Let go, let go ahㅡ!” She raged at him not to touch her. He was flustered.

The fairy, with a look that didn’t care whether she told or not, told the princess to leave quickly.

“Even if you tell me not to go, I’m going to go. Just you wait, you guys…. I’m nevㅡer going to leave you aloneㅡ!”

The princess glared until the end, not giving up like that, and stood up abruptly, stomping her feet as she left. Jerin looked at the princess and his teacher alternately with a bewildered expression.

At that moment, the fairy, who was crossing her arms, flicked her finger at Jerin. It meant to come closer. The hero slowly approached her. His expression was complex.

The fairy brought her face slightly to Jerin’s ear as he approached her.

“Disciple.”

Her whispering voice was subdued. He gulped dryly at her tone.

“…Yes, Teacher.”

“It’s your business who you suck someone’s a*s…, but, s*it, you should be ashamed. Do you think I raised you to be this kind of son of a b*tch?”

Jerin’s gaze slowly dropped.

“Then, s*it, at least don’t splash s*it water on me. Huh? …Don’t you know who I am? If I were in my old personality, you’d all be dead already.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“I’ll let it slide just this once because I’m thinking of the old days. …And don’t come looking for me again. I warned you. You are not my disciple anymore. …S*it, whether you suck the duke’s d*ck or suck that b*tch’s p*ssy, that’s your business.”

Honestly, it was a bit too insulting. But he endured it. Because the mistake he made was obvious.

But resentment couldn’t help but arise. He had been pampered and treated so well, but he couldn’t even do this much. The feeling surged up.

“…I understand. I apologize for the commotion.”

“Go, now.”

The hero Jerin bowed his head to his teacher and turned away without regret. His face was frighteningly hardened.

The two men and women left, but the uncomfortable air still lingered around Ji-hyuk and Aizel. Hoooㅡ. The fairy sighed with a stuffy feeling. She was strangely embarrassed to look at Ji-hyuk.

“Gang Ji-hyuk.”

“Yes.”

“Go eat your meal.”

“What about Teacher?”

“…I’ll go later.”

Ji-hyuk obediently listened to his teacher’s words. As he disappeared, she sat on the tree trunk.

…It was a day when her sighs were particularly frequent.

· · ·

Another month flew by like an arrow from the day the princess visited. …Ji-hyuk, seeing the flowing of time like a river, thought again that time was truly fast.

The fairy Aizel slowly prepared to leave for the imperial capital. It was because there were many things to do to make Ji-hyuk a hero. Just thinking about the recommendation letter was enough reason to go to the Empire.

So, the fairy was particularly busy these days. Training was also finished a little faster than usual. Ji-hyuk also helped her a lot with her work when training was over.

So, on the night before they decided to leave for the capital.

She checked the items to take with her one last time. As a meticulous person, her preparation was very thorough. She couldn’t tolerate a gap.

“You said it was your first time in the capital, right?”

“Yes…. They say it’s a very fancy place.”

“It’s at least fancier than this backwater.”

“Then, why did you come down here in the first place?”

“I was there at first. …I just left because so many guys were coming and going.”

Aizel exhaled a long snort and looked out the dark window. The moonlight streaming down from the moon in the black night sky was overflowing.

“…I thought I would never have to go again.”

“Do you have anything to worry about?”

“No, it’s not like that. …I just thought that you can’t guarantee anything in the world.”

She sipped her tea.

“Anyway, you have to keep training while you’re going. You shouldn’t skip a day, originally. Then your skills will quickly rust.”

“I didn’t plan to skip it.”

“I know you’ll do well on your own. …I’m just saying it out of concern.”

Aizel trusted Ji-hyuk. The way he had been until now, he hadn’t done anything to get on her bad side. He always did his best in what he was given. That’s why she willingly took on the role of a maid.

“And, don’t be intimidated by anyone. You’re my proud disciple. I’ll always be behind you. …You know what I mean?”

“Yes.”

“I look like this, but I’m a great fairy. Even a duke can’t treat me recklessly.”

“Of course, I know.”

“…Right.”

Good kid.

He has a bit of a sly and cunning side, but still, his disciple’s nature was good. He knows how to care for his teacher….

Of course, she also had a tendency to look down on humans a bit, but her thoughts changed a lot after taking Ji-hyuk as her disciple this time.

“Go to sleep now. We have to leave early tomorrow.”

“Yes. Then, I’ll go in.”

“Okay, sleep well.”

“Have a peaceful night, Teacher.”

Ji-hyuk went into his room. Soon, heavy silence fell in the living room. Aizel emptied her teacup for the last time and got up from her seat.

Before she went into the room, she glanced at the quiet living room.

It was a house where she had become very attached. …When she leaves and comes back again, there will be a lot of dust.

Her heart was in turmoil. More than when she left the academy.

The fairy entered her room and lay on the bed. The blanket warmly embraced her.

In the quiet silence…, she couldn’t sleep for long and tossed and turned.

And, early the next morning.

The two men and women left the cabin, each carrying a heavy suitcase. The dark dawn forest was covered in thick fog. They swallowed the cold air and walked along the path.

The two soon left the forest. The foggy lake created a dreamy atmosphere. The sound of pebbles crunching under their feet heightened this mysterious atmosphere even more.

They walked and walked again. And soon, they walked up a gently sloping uphill road. As they did, the day gradually dawned.

Ji-hyuk paused for a moment on the hill. Then, he turned and looked toward the lake. The sun was rising, but the fog was still thick. Aizel also stopped for a moment and followed his gaze to the lakeside.

It was a panoramic view that she hadn’t seen in a long time. She felt a strange feeling in her stomach. So, she turned her gaze again.

“Let’s go, now.”

Ji-hyuk followed Aizel, who was walking away, slowly. The fog was gradually disappearing, and the reddish sun, like a maiden’s flushed cheeks, beautifully colored the fields.

It was an awe-inspiring moment. The two walked along the beautiful dirt road, engraving the beauty of nature in their hearts.

A long time later, there was a great uproar when an amazing figure appeared in the village they arrived at. People gathered on the side of the road, one after another, to see the fairy.

━ Is that fairy the eccentric fairy of the lake?

━ She is really beautiful, isn’t she? Even if she is eccentric, a fairy is still a fairy.

━ Who is that next to her?

━ They seem to have set up house together.

━ A fairy and a human? Is that possible?

━ What’s not possible? It must be that the guy’s d*ck is amazing.

People were murmuring. But the two ignored them and just walked silently. And they got on the moving carriage. Anyway, only two people were leaving the village at this time.

Iryatㅡ. The carriage running with a rhythmic sound moved further away from the village. Ji-hyuk looked at the village that was getting farther away for a long time.

“How many years has it been?”

He asked the fairy sitting across from him. The fairy, with her eyes downcast and relying on the carriage, slowly raised her gaze.

“…A little over three years. Why?”

“How do you feel? You came out after a long time.”

The fairy made a sound of air escaping.

“Chii, what kind of feeling…. I just feel that way. Nothing.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Her gaze turned to the side and reached the village. But she didn’t see the village, she saw the lake.

“I just…, it’s the same. As usual.”

After leaving the village, they arrived in the city of Milanko a day later. Of course, they had to take the carriage again from there. From now on, they had to change carriages several times until they arrived at the capital. It was annoying, but there was no other way.

“Are you two lovers?”

Whenever they got on the carriage, regardless of race or gender, they always asked that question. They had never seen a case where only a fairy and a human were traveling together like this. And especially of different genders, male and female.

Ji-hyuk wanted to avoid these annoying stories, so he just put his arm around Aizel’s shoulder and answered yes.

“I’m so envious. You have a fairy lover…. Do you get along well below, too?”

In the end, they were all united by that question. Whether the human d*ck was suitable for the fairy’s p*ssy.

“It’s amazing. …Ah.”

Aizel glared at her disciple with her eyes, as if asking why he made such unnecessary answers, and poked his side with her elbow. As Ji-hyuk made a fuss, they all grinned. They said she was shy, unlike the ferocious fairy.

On the way to the capital, they often had to sleep rough. They didn’t have much time to relax because the journey was so long.

They sometimes encountered highway robbers. In fact, the existence of mercenaries was no different from highway robbers at any time. Because as long as they got rid of the witnesses, it was a perfect crime.

So, the carriage owners had a habit of hiring two or three mercenaries whenever possible. That would make it much safer.

These robbers always tried to take Aizel hostage. Of course, there were no mercenaries who didn’t have the sexual desire to kill a beautiful fairy that was pretty enough to make their eyes roll. Of course, those guys had to meet the fate of falling on the side of the road as cold corpses without exception.

Seeing that, Ji-hyuk seemed to understand why fairies’ personalities became twisted. Especially, the humans, as long as they had dicks, they turned their eyes on them. It was natural to develop human phobia.

Anywayㅡ.

On the way to the capital, the teacher Aizel devoted herself to supporting her disciple so that he could concentrate on training a little more. She wanted to make him a perfect hero. A great being that everyone admired….

Ji-hyuk also trained hard. Of course, it wasn’t just a monotonous routine of training without doing anything else. When they arrived in the city, he often went to brothels and rolled around with prostitutes. It’s because he’s not a guy who lives a life of no desire, which means he restrains his sexual desire. Rather, he really likes f*cking.

Aizel also seemed to know that he went to brothels, but she didn’t say anything about it. But she did give him one piece of advice. As a teacher, she couldn’t just ignore it.

“I understand that you have sexual desire. It’s an instinct that males have for reproduction. But don’t go there, if possible. There is etiquette, after all.”

In a word, if he was going to be a hero, play like a hero. That was it.

Ji-hyuk said he understood. Of course, next time, he went to the brothel a little more secretly. Because right now, there was nowhere else to f*ck.

Anyway, after two full months of diligent movement, they finally arrived in the imperial capital, Hakam.

Ahㅡ.

Ji-hyuk was lost in old memories for a moment, looking at the enormous scale of the ramparts.

There were many good memories and bad memories. But they have all been sublimated into memories now.

His eyes looked far away. That place, that place, which he could never reach again.

“That’s the capital.”

Aizel said, pointing at the ramparts with her chin.

“You have to be careful from now on.”

Ji-hyuk looked straight into the fairy’s eyes. She continued the next words.

“It’s a place where you can get your nose taken off if you’re not careful.”
