Beat the Boss Mob

Defeating the Boss Mob

“I’m here.”

“Enlil! You’re here! Welcome. “I was just preparing dinner!”

Enlil, who stopped by the village for the first time in a while, smiled and unwrapped the gifts he brought.

Various items needed in the village, and some luxuries that are difficult to obtain here.

And that was candy and chocolate to be distributed to the village children.

“Sister Enlil!”

“How is everyone?”

“Yes!”

The smile gets even brighter when I see the children answering like a chorus.

With the demonic beasts gone, there is no longer anything that threatens the village.

Since all my duties as a warrior have been completed, there is no reason to be extremely careful anymore.

Thanks to this, the village people were able to return to their lively daily lives.

“You come here often these days.”

At the middle-aged man’s words, Enlil could only say “Ahaha” And let out an embarrassed laugh.

For a while, I avoided wherever his traces remained and did not go anywhere.

It was the same at the academy, and here, her hometown, was no different.

It was a choice I couldn’t make because my heart ached and my chest ached just by going there.

However, since no proper explanation was given to the villagers, they just assumed that they were not coming.

As a result, some people were disappointed that Enlil had completely cut off contact.

“There were some circumstances at the time. Please understand.”

“For some reason… “Kwaek!”

“You, really!”

The man screams thanks to his wife suddenly hitting him on the back.

Then, when he grumbled and asked why he was like this, the woman said, ‘Ugh!’ And even pulled his earlobe.

“Enlil? Go and have some food. Huh? Go quickly.”

“Yes, ma’am. Then, I’ll go first.”

The couple’s story is heard little by little through Enlil’s ears as he walks.

“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?!”

“You don’t even notice! Enlil, why didn’t that kid come?!”

“You’re asking because you don’t know!”

“Before, I came here with a certain man. What was the atmosphere like then?!”

“It was good, right?”

“But what now? Are you with me or not?”

“… Ah!”

I think this has been a bit of a strange misunderstanding.

They say they suffered a broken heart, or that they broke up because their relationship couldn’t continue.

Since the shock didn’t go away, it’s clear that he deliberately avoided places related to it.

A nagging voice keeps asking me why I keep asking and opening up wounds that are barely healing.

“Ahaha…”

I thought about whether I should clear up the misunderstanding, but decided to just quit.

Actually, in a way, it is true that I suffered a broken heart. It is also true that the relationship did not continue.

In any case, he personally pushed her away, and as a result, they broke up forever.

Actually, that’s not entirely wrong. In fact, that’s why I didn’t look for my hometown.

I’m afraid it will hurt more. I’m afraid I might start to have bad thoughts again.

I made a promise to myself, to Ceria, and to the person watching from afar.

Wasn’t it a time in the past when I avoided it again and again because I was afraid of breaking it myself?

‘It’s okay now.’

The academy was rebuilt. I came back to my hometown.

And he managed to restore the entire place that he had destroyed.

Now all that’s left is to smile and live according to his wishes. That was all.

“Enlil! Come on, sit down. “I prepared the stir-fried mushrooms just like you liked!”

“You too. “Why don’t you prepare something nice? What are mushrooms?”

“No. I still like mushrooms. “Good.”

One day, the day will come when I can tell the people here, the people who gave me the gift of life again.

Actually, something like this happened and that’s why I broke up with him forever.

It hurt so much that I was afraid to even think about it, so I was even avoiding my hometown.

But now he says that nothing is wrong and that he is smiling hard and with all his might.

*

The academy that came back was still noisy.

It is not just an educational institution. What should I say about this place? It can be seen that it also functions as a kind of orphanage.

We collect children who lost their parents and families by demonic beasts and guide them in the right direction.

And the children, who have grown into adults, once again spread to various places to help those in need like themselves.

In the end, I hope that there will be more people like this and the world will become a better place for everyone to live.

This was Enlil’s dream and the reason for reviving the Academy.

Of course, not everything went well. It wasn’t easy either.

“Not enough money already? That’s ridiculous!”

The biggest problem was, of course, money. A lot of that too.

Until now, those who wanted to survive from the demonic beasts who had to destroy the tower had applied.

The country, the royal family, nobles, and even ordinary people collected money.

But not anymore. The tower collapsed and the demonic beasts disappeared.

There is no longer any reason to spend money here. So, it is natural for funds to dry up.

There was some support from the church through Seria.

Several people who supported Enlil’s will also donate funds.

Still, it’s not enough. There are more students, but less money comes in, so there is nothing we can do.

Enlil put his head together with chief instructor Edmund and thought over and over again.

If you want to secure funds without opening your hands to others or listening to their regrets…

“I guess… Enlil, I think you need to step up.”

In the end, Chief Instructor Edmund decided to use the last resort.

“Autobiography… “This?”

“Yes. From the moment I first became a hero to the moment I destroyed the tower. “If you write that biography and publish it, everyone will be interested.”

“…”

That makes perfect sense. I feel like I can buy it myself right now.

This is the autobiography of a warrior who brought down the tower and saved the world. Isn’t it so curious?

Nevertheless, the reason Enlil hesitates is because he feels like those memories will suddenly come back.

I’m afraid that I’m re-revealing the pain that I barely buried.

“… Yes. Great. Give it a try.”

But Enlil nodded. This is for the students. Of course I should.

I’m not going to write about those things in my autobiography anyway, so I’ll just have to try my best not to think about them.

If he had been there, he might have scolded me and asked why I was hesitating.

However, if there is one thing that concerns me, it is…

“Well, by the way. “I have no confidence in writing.”

It’s a shame. When I was young, I was busy just living, and when I grew up, I was busy fighting.

Fortunately, I am not illiterate, but I am not particularly talented either.

I’m worried that something embarrassing might happen for no reason.

“There’s nothing to worry about. I’ll ask people who know as much as possible, and Enlil will hand over the draft and I’ll work on refining it based on that. There is no need to feel burdened.”

“That’s good, but…”

Money, money, money. If it weren’t for that damn thing, there wouldn’t be a need for this.

Both Enlil and Chief Instructor Edmund could only sigh and say, ‘Ugh.’

“And we need to hire more new professors and instructors. Compared to the number of students, the number of faculty and staff at the academy is ridiculously small. As it is, the kids will be left in charge of the kids.”

“I was seriously thinking about that too. So we decided to announce that we will be hiring new instructors. Maybe this week at the latest? “I plan to have an interview there.”

“This is the best news I’ve heard. “I hope I find people who can work with me soon.”

Chief Instructor Edmund’s wish did not take long to come true.

Applicants lined up when they heard that the academy was looking for new instructors.

However, just because we don’t have enough people, we can’t hire just anyone.

Rather, it must be chosen more coldly than ever.

For the students and for this academy that will be established in the future.

‘But this is a bit… ‘Is this too much?’

Because there were so few people, Enlil was the only one checking the interviewees.

Seria can’t come anytime because of church work, and Chief Instructor Edmund has his own work to do.

The other people who helped Enlil also had their own problems and could not leave the place.

In the end, she decided to meet all the interviewees one by one on her own.

“Hello!” I am…”

“I am prepared to bury my bones in this academy…”

Some were satisfied, some were very disappointed.

In particular, there were some who tried to increase their own reputation by using Enlil, who was said to be a warrior.

I was very angry for a moment, but I was able to calm it down with words.

“Whoa…”

I’m tired. We’re not even halfway there yet, but it’s already hard.

I thought about taking a short break, but there are too many people waiting.

There may be a gemstone among them that must be brought in as an instructor.

It was difficult to even take a break because if I made a mistake, I could miss those people.

“Next person, please come in. Candidate No. 17?”

I close my eyes for a moment and touch my forehead, trying to relieve fatigue.

“Could you please briefly introduce yourself? “Don’t worry about me.”

Let’s quickly straighten our posture. Because it’s rude to do this.

As an examiner, I evaluate the person who came in this time…

“I arrived on this continent not long ago and was wandering around until I heard the instructor at the academy and came here out of curiosity.”

Huh?

Something that suddenly comes to mind, something someone once said to me.

Enlil quickly raised his head and looked at the man sitting in front of him.

“… Ah.”

Looking at him, Enlil smiled his brightest smile.

And Rion also faced her and drew a smile on his lips.
