Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad - Chapter 35
“Crunch! Chomp! Chomp!”
Battalion commander Doras was devouring food with both hands.
“The meat seems to be more delicious today!”
It felt more appetizing than usual.
“Like a sore tooth has been removed!”
The soldier Usaru had been handed over to Choi Hyun-seok.
He was the scourge of the battalion.
An ogre and orc mix.
Somewhere between a demon and a demon beast, Usaru was very stupid.
Considering that, he was also incredibly strong, so he couldn’t be dealt with thoughtlessly.
“Maybe if he was smart he would have made it to the battalion commander’s position.’
Even now, he is someone who can easily crush a company commander with his body.
If Usaru was as smart as he was strong, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable for him to become battalion commander someday.
“Kuuk!”
Doras calmly burped.
“He was a useless bum.”
He was too strong to leave him unattended.
As he kept getting into trouble when he was left alone.
He was very annoying for someone like Doras who wanted peace.
“This will weaken the battalion’s strength, but it’ll be fine.”
He lost many soldiers, and even Usaru, who was the second strongest.
However, Doras didn’t care.
He didn’t have to do anything at the legion headquarters anyway.
The soldiers who had left can be filled again.
“Thank you. Choi Hyun-seok!”
Doras sincerely thanked Choi Hyun-seok.
He was the one who brought him true peace.
“Hahahaha! Meat! Bring more meat!”
On that day, the sound of eating rang out all night in Doras’ office.
* * *
“268. 268. 270! Exactly 270!”
The quiet kitchen quickly became very crowded as the newly recruited cooks cluttered together.
“Including the original, there are about 300.”
At this point, it can be said that it’s an actual cooking unit.
“Ahem! Everyone, attention!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted loudly.
“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Choi Hyun-seok, Bobo’s zookeeper, who will be in charge of the kitchen this time!”
Choi Hyun-seok briefly introduced himself.
Of course, he didn’t forget to remind them of his backer, Bobo.
“Keuru!”
The tactful Bobo howled beautifully.
The soldiers who were semi-forced to become cooks looked at Bobo in fear.
It was a good start.
“There’s going to be a new arrangement from now on. Forget the old order! Our cooking unit will move with its own rules!”
Choi Hyun-seok used the scouter and examined the soldiers.
“You, you, you. And you. From now on you’re all platoon leaders.”
He strictly chose those with high combat power.
“You there. Yeah. Gollum, the mole, and Cron, come forward.”
Then he picked out a few soldiers to be in charge of cooking.
“Huu, the arrangement is roughly finished.”
As a result, about 100 cooking soldiers and 200 hunting soldiers were organized.
“If anyone has a problem with the arrangement now, step forward. I’ll transfer you.”
As soon as he spoke, the cooking soldiers raised their hands.
“I want to hunt.”
“I can’t eat meat if I don’t hunt!”
“I want to eat meat!”
The soldiers shouted as if they were a child throwing a tantrum.
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
‘These children don’t understand the circumstances.’
The cooking staff was deliberately filled with weak soldiers.
They wouldn’t be of any help during hunting.
“The ones who raised their hand just now, line up in front of me.”
Soldiers who were hoping to change jobs lined up.
“I’m going to hit you twice starting now. You can switch jobs if you can hold out.”
Then, the goblin who was at the very front, widened his eyes.
“Huh? What do you mean…”
There was no time to grasp the situation as a fierce low kick came.
Pak!
The goblin, who was hit in the thigh, circled 360 degrees in the air and then slammed into the ground.
“K-keek…Leg… My leg…!”
“Ah, was the kick too hard?”
The goblin gripped his leg as he shed tears.
It was probably broken.
“Anyway, you can’t do it because you’re a weakling. Come back when you’re stronger.”
Choi Hyun-seok said coldly.
He tilted his head and looked at the next soldier.
“Next. Step forward.”
Standing behind the goblin was an orc.
He went back without saying a word.
“Where are you going?”
“Suddenly I don’t want to hunt.”
“Then, nevermind. Next!”
The same situation continued.
Seeing the goblin whose leg was crushed, the soldiers became terrified and had decided to return to being cooks.
Of course, some persistent guys remained.
Bam! Bam!
“I-I don’t think I want to hunt anymore!”
Two low kicks were enough for them to realize the situation.
Before 5 minutes even passed, all the cooking soldiers had returned.
“Don’t be so discouraged. The guys in charge of hunting will also hand out meat to the cooks. Isn’t that rather better? You don’t have to hunt and you can still eat meat.”
The cooking soldiers’ eyes glistened at the words ‘hand out meat.’
‘Well, I’m going to give you as much as rat shit.’
Choi Hyun-seok smiled wickedly.
It was somewhere between that and very little.
“The cleanup is now finished.”
Choi Hyun-seok pretended to wipe the nonexistent sweat off his forehead.
The general direction seems to be set.
‘It’s faster than I had expected.’
The soldiers obediently followed the instructions more than he thought they would.
It was surprising to think that they didn’t reject him as a superior because he was human.
[Reorganized and stabilized an army with excellent leadership and command.]
[Charisma increased]
[Leadership grade increased]
Choi Hyun-seok widened his eyes.
The rewards were completely unexpected.
‘No wonder the soldiers were so obedient. Was it because of these?’
The soldiers were so obedient that he felt it was strange.
It wasn’t enough to simply say that the low kick was scary.
He finally knew why after he saw the system notifications.
“It’s surprisingly useful.”
The hidden stat Charisma and the ability Leadership he gained from his time as a slave master.
To be honest, until now he thought it was completely useless.
But he was wrong.
These two forces properly demonstrated their value when he needed them most.
Charisma: 34
Ability: Leadership (D)
Charisma increased from 30 to 34.
Leadership increased from E to D.
It was quite the generous rewards for a short struggle.
“Very good!”
As Choi Hyun-seok was chuckling with content.
An unidentified shriek was heard from outside the kitchen.
“Usa~ru!”
“Oh…I forgot about him.”
Choi Hyun-seok sighed, wiping his forehead.
It was Usaru!
He’s about 5 meters tall.
A mix between an ogre and an orc.
And he carries a club the size of Choi Hyun-seok’s body with him at all times.
“Usa~ru! I’m bored!”
His estimated mental age is about that of a kindergartener.
Communication is possible, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be obedient.
“Haa, what am I supposed to do with that?”
“Yeah…”
The problem is that Usaru is too strong.
He is unnecessarily too strong for an underling that is not properly controlled.
Choi Hyun-seok once again looked at Usaru while wearing the scouter.
[Combat Power: Unmeasurable]
“This junk meter can’t even measure him when he’s bored!?”
Choi Hyun-seok nervously took off the scouter.
[Caution! This measuring instrument can’t measure targets with more than 50,000 Combat Power.]
[The durability will decrease rapidly if you continue to observe unmeasurable targets.]
“Oh, there was something like that?”
It seems the combat power measure limit is 50,000.
Come to think of it, the number has never exceeded 50,000.
“In any case, his combat power is at least 50,000.”
“Right.”
“I can’t hit him like the others, that’s the problem…”
At that moment, Usaru, who remembered Choi Hyun-seok, shouted.
“Choi Hyun-seok! I’m bored!”
“Yes, call me head cook. I’m the big boss. Do you understand?
He was going to try talking to him first.
“Big! I’m bored!”
It seems that it was roughly half successful.
Choi Hyun-seok briefly looked at Usaru and fell into agony.
‘Since it’s like this…let’s go hunting right now?’
He thought that was the better approach.
“Do you want to go hunting? You know what hunting is?”
Usaru beamed at the word hunting.
“Usa~ru! Hunting! I want to go!”
“All right. Let’s go right now.”
Originally he thought the reorganization would take up the whole day.
And that he would start hunting tomorrow.
But the reorganization of the unit ended earlier than expected.
The sun is still in the sky.
There is no reason to waste time.
Choi Hyun-seok called the hunting soldiers.
“Everyone, pack your tools! It’s time to chop meat!”
* * *
The long anticipated hunt!
Choi Hyun-seok left to hunt with the 200 cooks and Bobo.
“Rachel. I’ve been thinking about something.”
While moving, Choi Hyun-seok talked to Rachel.
“Why don’t we have them capture the beasts alive?”
“You’re going to have them do all the work so you can get the last hit, right?”
The hero and the fairy.
Rachel quickly understood Choi Hyun-seok’s intention.
“Well, it’s not a bad plan, but there’s a problem.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a lot harder to capture than to kill. Can the stupid demons do it?”
“We can just cut off the limbs. As long as the demon beasts stay alive. I think it’ll be great if we can make a net or something and learn how to use it.”
“Oho…That’s a good idea.”
Rachel nodded her head.
“Anyway, all these idiots can be replaced. Hero, now is the time to raise your level!”
“Uh, uh…Yeah…”
Choi Hyun-seok gave Rachel a strange look.
It was a plan that he came up with, but how come it felt different when she said it?
Rachel’s expression was strangely fierce.
Choi Hyun-seok carefully asked.
“Look, I wasn’t going to say this, but…Your personality seems to be getting crankier.”
“Hero! You can’t remain calm in this world.”
“Well, that’s true…”
“If there was alcohol, I would’ve had a lot!”
Wasn’t it her fault that they fell into this world where they had to remain sober?
The words came up to his throat and stopped.
“Uh…you must have been under a lot of stress too.”
Fortunately, he didn’t say it.
In any case, they were both in a difficult situation.
He didn’t want to argue about the past.
“Wait. Don’t you think something is wrong?”
Choi Hyun-seok suddenly stopped.
Rachel turned around with a puzzled look.
“What’s wrong?”
“We haven’t come across any demon beasts.”
They’ve been walking inside the forest for a while.
But there wasn’t a single trace of a demon beast.
It would be strange to call it a coincidence.
“Hero. Maybe it’s because of Bobo?”
“Ah, right!”
Choi Hyun-seok clapped his hands.
He recalled the conversation he had with Kulkan.
[Bobo can’t come with us.]
[Huh? Why not?]
[If Bobo comes, the beasts will run away and we won’t be able to hunt.]
On his first hunt.
Choi Hyun-seok wanted to bring Bobo, but he was rejected.
“I thought it was just an excuse at the time, but it turns out to be true…”
Although Bobo is still a puppy, he was fundamentally different.
A demon beast who has the highest pedigree, and was raised by the Demon King himself!
It can be called royalty among demon beasts.
“There’s that Usaru guy over there.”
Not only Bobo, but this time there was also the giant Usara who could be mistaken for a demon beast.
There was a good chance that the demon beasts would have been frightened and had hidden themselves.
“What should I do?”
Choi Hyun-seok agonized.
It doesn’t make sense to send Bobo and Usaru back now.
He didn’t know what kind of disaster would happen if he sent those two back.
He had to accompany them without a doubt, but then there would only be the new cooks here.
There’s no way they would be able to perform their duties properly.
A situation in which he can’t do this or that.
“Hero! I have a way!”
Then Rachel clapped her hands as if she had thought of something.
She looks at Choi Hyun-seok with an insidious smile.
“We, let’s use bait.”
“Bait?”
“It’s inefficient to go into the water to catch fishes. Look, all the fish ran away, right?”
“Uh…okay?”
“So you throw a fishing rod and gently shake the delicious bait.”
“And where is that delicious bait?”
Rachel shook her head with a ‘how could you not know?’ expression.
“There are many behind you.”
“Huh?”
“As many as 200 delicious baits! Wouldn’t that be enough?”
The hero and fairy.
A plan was being drawn by the pair who wanted to save the world. One that even the Demon King himself would wrinkle his forehead.
