The Last Human Returns.
Chapter 10 - Come Grinding!

"Wow. Big brother, did you go to the Tower to get this Old Castle?" Nina stared at the Old Castle that Ethan had obtained after fighting against the Black Knight earlier.

Not only Nina was amazed by the design and beauty of the Old Castle. All of the Trouble Guild members that Ethan had brought into the Tower, were shocked by how beautiful this Old Castle was.

"Stop staring. You have to go in and start putting things in the room. From today on, you will stay here for a few days."

Hu Tao and Nina's eyes sparkled as Ethan gave permission for them to stay.

"Now, I really look like a Lady."

"Living in the Castle with the Prince. Is this a fairy tale?"

Arya looked at the two with a contemptuous look. "At least stop being stupid. You'll only embarrass the Queen and the King."

Arya's words brought a tantrum from the two girls.

Ignoring the three, the other Guild members began to step inside. The room was initially quite dirty, so it became quite clean without any dust at all. Although, the cracked walls and torn carpets were still the same, at the very least, there was no longer a gloomy impression of this place before.

"There are thirty rooms in total. You can choose as you please. After that, you can also go to look around. Just don't go too far."

***

In the evening, so much food is served at the dinner table. Ethan cooks everything to suit the place they're eating now. Ethan's idea was certainly welcomed by the other guild members. Everyone looked at the food on the table with sparkling eyes and drool dripping.

"Feel the Guild Master …."

"Erica's delicious to taste. However, the cuisine of a Guild Master had its own taste."

Ethan, who was naturally sitting on the seat where the Lord was, looked at his companion with a small grin. "Eat a lot. Maybe, this will be your last meal?"

The atmosphere immediately cooled down as soon as Ethan opened his mouth talking. There is no appetite left on everyone's face.

"As usual. You don't understand reading the mood."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Jun's words. However, Ethan was completely unconcerned with their opinions and he ate the steak quietly and peacefully.

Ethan glances at his comrades who begin to lust after seeing Ethan eating deliciously. "The taste of food will increase when you think you won't be able to eat it again."

Nina looks very frustrated at Ethan's words. He immediately took a piece of turkey thigh. "If so, I'll eat it without regret!"

Starting from Nina, the rest of the Guild members also started eating all the menus on the table greedily. Some of them even started to shed tears.

"Law. This turkey is just too awesome! This is perfect for the last meal before dying!"

"The chewy sausage with this sweet sour sauce is so delicious. I can't believe I won't be able to enjoy this delicious meal again if I die."

"See this roast duck! It tastes so delicious! Is this my last meal!?"

Everyone started to give their impression. Ethan laughed and recorded everything. At the very least, he needed one video that would put everyone to shame.

"ah! That's sausage! Arya bastard!"

"Hey, Hu Tao. Stop eating meat! Eat this mushroom!"

The party situation was really boisterous until late at night. Ethan even had to cook another dish due to the demands of the Guild members under the pretext of their last meal.

***

The morning before sunrise, the guild members who had finished stretching, stood on top of the castle fortress with full weapons. If not for their tense faces, they would have looked like fantasy novel characters.

Ethan frowned looking at their expressions. "Why are you putting on a face like that? This isn't the first time you've fought Monsters and defended the castle, is it?"

Jun glanced at Ethan in annoyance. "Stop to comment on the natural response of man, the Devil."

Ethan almost laughed at Jun's scolding. It's because it's not like Ethan doesn't understand their feelings. If Ethan wasn't a regressor, he'd hit the head of a leader who came up with a crazy idea like himself.

Li Mei who realized there was something strange in Ethan's words, turned pale. "Wait, Guild Master. What does it mean for castle defense? Is it the same as we know?"

Kiaa who had the sharpest eyesight, immediately shouted when he realized what was coming towards them. "Everything, into position! Enemy's coming!"

Trouble Guild immediately to their respective positions. Silvia who was about to become the center, stood in the middle of the fortress, chanting the strongest magic she had learned.

"."

Pshu!

A fireball that was slightly larger and denser than basic level magic was fired. Another thing that distinguishes it from other than its size is that the magic effects between the two are very different. When it hits the ground it explodes beautifully.

Bam! Bam!

The explosion obviously slowed down the movement of the approaching enemy and left the enemy on the front line severely injured.

Pshu! Pshu! Pshu!

The arrows flew one by one killing the surviving enemies. A bipedal dwarf-green creature with a very ugly face, was hit by an arrow right between his eyes and died. Kiaa is currently really showing his class as a professional athlete.

Li Mei sneaked among the Goblin crowd and started to hit and run. He slashed one enemy and disappeared again with his Unique Ability, which reduced his Existence Eve by 90%. Moreover, the Ability was a slightly pitiful [Pasive Ability] for a girl as beautiful as Li Mei.

When Ethan is observing the fight from a place that can capture the entire battlefield, Ethan is shocked by the Goblins who are beginning to get upset and suspicious of each other. They started attacking each other.

"Aryans. Make sure not to miss this time!"

"Huh. Do you want to bet on who kills the most?"

Michael and Arya don't want to lose. They began to enter the sea of fire that had been chaotic. With that completely different swordsmanship, the two completely destroyed the Goblin that was already out of sync. It was a one-sided war.

Ethan held his chin with a complicated expression on his face. "They're growing too fast, right?"

Ethan really felt that if they were all, real geniuses. Ethan is a man who goes back in time. If not for that, Ethan might have been left far behind by the people in front of him.

"So, this feels envious of someone's talent, huh?" Ethan smiled bitterly. He never imagined he would feel this way in his mental age now.

When the fight was over, as expected, everyone started to protest to Ethan.

"Hey! What are you doing until the enemy comes like crazy!?"

"It's totally against labor laws! It's criminal!"

"Give me a kiss and I'll forgive Brother!" Nina who said nonsense was ignored by everyone.

"I didn't do anything. I only burned incense that could attract the attention of the Monsters." Ethan replied casually. He pointed at an incense stick that was burnt in the middle of the castle.

No sound came out as soon as Ethan heard the answer. They're very upset. However, there is no power to argue with Ethan.

Erica who still had relative exertion, spoke in an angry tone. "Sister, don't repeat. At least tell us if you want to do something dangerous like this."

As Erica spoke, Ethan lowered his face with a regretful expression. "Y– Well. I'm sorry. I didn't have time to explain because the Monster appeared sooner than expected."

"Soami is afraid of wife."

"Slave of love."

"The real Guild Master is, Erica."

One by one give heart-piercing comments on Ethan's changing attitude that is so obedient to Erica.

At the moment when everyone thought it was over, a roaring sound rang out from the distance. Everyone's expression stiffened and looked at Ethan with an expression full of hostility.

However, Ethan himself was surprised by the second wave that came. He drew his sword, preparing to interfere in the leveling done by his comrades.

"Pregnant. Looks like a pretty big guest is coming."
