The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

ed could bring about a vast difference.
However, what were the soldiers of other nobles doing? They were just holding onto saying that they didn’t have the minimum qualifications.
Seeing them complain about such stuff, Henderson could only frown.
“For all of you, who have lived their lives without training hard for a year, today’s training must have been quite difficult.
But if you know that your current state is lacking, isn’t it a common reaction to try and catch up with us instead of blaming us? Why? Are you asking us to come down to the same level as you now?”

Roman told them earlier that for their time on the Southern Front, they had to prepare for war.
Roman’s soldiers all trained as if they were on a real battlefield and, although not perfect, they were sure they would have a chance of survival and winning, if a war truly broke out.
That was why they couldn’t understand the other soldiers’ reactions.
Being in the same room as them and hearing their naïve thoughts made their skin crawl.

Even though Henderson’s words were brutally offensive, the soldiers of other nobles could only stay silent.
The fact that Henderson’s preparation period was less than even half a year made them all go silent.

“Truly idiots.”

Once he said that, Henderson turned away from them.
Even if their attitude didn’t change, Henderson would still train with the same passionate attitude the next day and the days after that as well.
He would do so because it was the will of Roman Dmitry.
And because of that will, Roman’s soldiers thought that the war had already started.

The training continued.
It was quite extreme.
Still, even though the intensity of the training increased day by day, Roman’s soldiers only clenched their teeth and continued to train hard.

The nobles who watched the training noticed the gap between them was too much.
Was it because their pride was hurt because of the difference? They, while watching the others training as if they were on a battlefield, complained, “Why are they all overdoing it?”

“Right.
This isn’t even the Western Front for them to be that dedicated.
It’s the Southern Front, which is far from war.
However, it seems like our men are suffering because of them.”

“Well, those born shallow will do such things.
If they don’t act out like this, how will the Dmitry family even get recognition?”

“Right.
Hahaha!”

They openly mocked Roman.
The Southern Front was known to be a place for the nobles to spend two years of vacation at.
Rather, it would have been understandable if this was the Western Front.
There, people even got rewards for doing such things, but the Southern Front was unlike that.

Roman, who was under the sun, had a bright red face.

Seeing him training so hard with the soldiers, the nobles thought he was foolish.

Nevertheless, among the nobles under the shadows of the trees, there was a noble who, rather than ridiculing him, looked worried.
That noble was Henry Albert.

’…How do I even win the heart of someone like him?’

Right, the current situation was quite odd for him.
If he was interested in pleasure, like other nobles, Henry could have struck up a conversation, but Roman was only sweating and working hard.
Henry’s thoughts had changed from those he had the first day.
Actually, if it wasn’t for his uncle’s orders, even he would have been making fun of him.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t.
When he thought he would be assigned to the same unit as someone like Roman, his head started to ache.

‘No, was I ever this sensitive? If he came to the Southern Training Center, it should be to speak and build friendships with others.
In the end, common people do not know how to relax and take it easy, eh? I don’t know now.
I guess things will work out in the end.’

He lay down in the shadows of the trees as the sun was quite hot today.
He could hear the soldiers shouting while training to cheer themselves, and he lay down in the coolness of the shade.

He thought after a good night’s sleep, maybe this tedious training would end.

At that time, on the front line of defense on the Southern Front, Cairo’s soldiers watched the border.

“Ugh, I am exhausted.”

“Why?”

“Don’t even ask that.
I only slept for 2 hours as I was busy playing cards with the 2nd Squad.”

The soldier had quite a tired face.
He didn’t even look at the border.
He only gently checked to see if there was anyone under the fortress wall, and he then pulled out a water bottle hanging from his waist and opened up the lid.

Sniff.

The smell of alcohol irritated the tip of his nose.
The soldier next to him was dumbfounded.

“You brought alcohol?”

“Does it matter if I brought it? We need to let go of being so strict.
Does it matter if we have a drink in a place where no one will come anyway? And rather, this is good for work efficiency.
It is better to have a little drink and get up than work while feeling sleepy.”

“But…”

“If you don’t want to drink, tell me.
I will just drink by myself if you don’t want to.”

Gulp.

He drank it.
A stimulating sensation went down his throat.
And seeing the other soldier like that, the other one couldn’t resist it.

“Just one sip.”

“Then, here.”

On the Southern Front, this was a common sight.
The long time of peace had given birth to a sense of complacency.
They became even more complacent as there were no major problems during their years of service yet.

But they didn’t see it.
While drinking, the shaking at a place of lush vegetation at the border had gone unnoticed.

Editor’s Thoughts: Man, Roman and his soldiers are truly epic.
Also, the war is about to begin! Let’s go!!!
