༺ Responsibility without Pleasure!? ༻

On a rainy day, while I was on my way to buy ice cream, a flash of lightning struck .

“Gyak!”

I thought I’d die imdiately with that, but to my utter surprise, what greeted my eyes imdiately after I opened them was a whole different world.

“Damn, where the hell am I?”

It was a different world with magic and knights.

“There’s a barbarian here! Capture and sell him into slavery! Black-haired slaves are strong and healthy, they even sell twice as much as ordinary slaves!”

“I heard they are also popular as male prostitutes!”

I had landed in a world full of war and tragedy!

After struggling in this world for two years, I sohow managed to get acknowledged as a hero of the world and was thus praised by the populace.

“Long live the great hero Judas!”

“You’re our hero!”

People who, not that long ago, were rejecting for being a black-haired savage, were now hailing as a hero.

But, well, whatever.

The war was finally over.

And from now on, only peaceful days awaited .

Then, on one spring day…

The Almighty King, hailed as the greatest king in the history of the Pangaea continent, told .

“Hero Judas, countless people have been saved by your noble deeds, but the world is still in turmoil.”

What did he an?

Almighty King Ordor was honestly quite the smart and heartless man, so I was afraid of what he was about to say.

Let’s just ask him directly.

“What are you trying to say to , Your Majesty?”

“Hmm, without individuals such as you, our country would have already been overturned by the invaders. Here cos the issue, however. You’re a man like the wind, you won’t be able to stay with us forever.”

“That’s…”

“Therefore, if a great hero like you gave birth to a lot of offspring, won’t our country be safe for generations to co? Speaking of which, why don’t you just get married?”

“…!!!”

Marriage.

His words struck like lightning.

I’m currently 25 years old.

It’s already been two years since I’d woken up in this barbaric world, and even before that, I was serving in the army right after getting out of university.

In Korea of the 21st century, where I hailed from originally, 25 years old was honestly still quite young for marriage. But in this fantasy land called Pangaea, 25 years was more or less the perfect age for a man to get married.

“I have compiled a list of won from the kingdom that you might take a liking to.”

“Oh… Can I choose anyone from here to get married to?”

“Yes, no one would defy this king’s edicts.”

Soon, a scroll was handed over to .

Unfurl—

I could imdiately see portraits of won, along with their nas, drawn on it.

This felt similar to the catalogs you’d see in a dating agency.

No clue.

One thing was certain, however.

“The princess is not on the list?”

“Why would my cute daughter be on this list? Why would I bestow my daughter to a barbari— hmm, anyway. There are a lot of outstanding won on the list, take a good look and you will find soone you like.”

Ordor, you wretch…

You nearly cursed for being a barbarian, didn’t you?

There was only one answer I could give in response to the king.

“Your Majesty, I, Judas, wish to choose my partner with my very own hands. I have obeyed all your orders until now so, please, reconsider this.”

“Is that so? Well, everyone has their own tastes and preferences.”

I slightly bowed my head before stepping back.

The soldiers of the palace began chattering by themselves as they saw that.

“He won’t settle for an ordinary woman. As expected of a Barbaroi.”

“I heard that he ssed around with all kinds of won during the war.”

“I wonder what kind of woman this barbarian will marry.”

They were spouting whatever nonsense sprouted on their head.

What is it with ssing around with multiple won?

I’m still a virgin!

Of course, I left the confines of the royal castle without uttering such words.

A clear sky.

Swallows were flying around in the blue sky, chirping incredibly loudly.

Chik— ChikChikChikChik—

They were chirping a goddamn lot.

What’s going on here?

Anyway.

I stretched out my arms toward the sky.

“Uurgh, marriage, huh?”

It was honestly sothing I was craving for.

A male and a female eting, starting a family, having children, and living happily ever after.

Wasn’t this a natural thing that every living creature would dream of?

But the thing here was…

“A-A barbarian…”

“Don’t look this way, I’m pregnant!”

See?

This is how it is.

Even as a hero who saved the country, in this fantastical world, I, with my dark hair and East Asian descent, am treated as though I was a barbarian.

I seed to look especially terrifying to won.

Is it because everyone around here seed so princely that I looked ugly in comparison?

I thought that after becoming a hero, my fa would make won flock my way and say things like “You’re so wealthy! Let give birth to your child!”.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Won of this world seed to value love more than fa or wealth.

Nice.

It was actually great that they had this kind of devotion.

The issue then was the fact that this devotion of theirs was simply too strong, and all I had to offer to them was wealth and fa.

Even if I chose to forcefully marry a girl from the list that the king gave , I’m sure our relationship would be dood to fail at one point or another.

That’s just how forced marriages were, after all.

“I have a dream.”

I clenched my fist.

My dream was to be a loving husband and father.

I also wanted to find a place to call my ho in this world I was sent to after getting struck by lightning.

Of course.

People would just laugh at if I ever said those words aloud and would probably say “Such a romantic dream for a savage!”

But I was very serious about this dream of mine.

And because of that, I had already decided… I will go on a trip around the world to look for a bride.

First of all, it would be nice if she was kind and also a virgin.

I’ve been single for my whole life, after all.

So eting soone like would be for the best since I didn’t want to get compared to other n.

Other than that, it would be great if she was pretty, had breasts on the bigger side, and was good with housework and cooking.

And also… Anyway!

“I will escape my fate as a wizard before the end of this year!”

I, Judas, could even survive the calamity of being suddenly abducted into another world.

Wait, no, I’m Ha Tae-Ho, not Judas.

Humph, I played an active part in the war and even reached the status of a Hero.

How hard could it be to get a girlfriend?

* * * * * * * * * *

“I give up.”

Dating won was difficult.

What happened to in the past few days deeply reminded of this harsh truth.

How the hell am I supposed to talk to a girl?

It’s hard.

Cutting the throat of an enemy general is a piece of cake in comparison.

To be frank.

I actually did find at least one woman who approached and said that she liked .

But it was a spy from an enemy country.

She was basically just trying to steal information from .

“Is there no one in this world who will really like ?”

I don’t know anymore.

What is love?

Did such a thing really exist?

I found it hard to accept that the only reason a woman would approach was to basically use .

Is it really impossible for soone to love ?

Do I have no choice but to live alone for the rest of my life?

Just as I was shaking my head with such gloomy feelings churning non-stop.

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind.

“No, it’s not that I can’t be loved, I just don’t want to. The only reason I’m not getting married is because I don’t want to. I’m doing it by choice. I’ll be single forever!”

That will be my fate.

Judas— the staunch bachelor.

“Marriage? Parenting? Not my thing at all. It’s already hard enough to support myself in this world!”

From now on, I shall be called Judas, the staunch bachelor—!

Just as I declared that in my heart.

Knock— Knock—

Soone was knocking on the door of my humble cabin.

“Who is it?”

Is the pizza I ordered finally here?

How long has it been since I ordered it from the tavern? Why is it this late?

It’s way past dinnerti! I was going to hit the bed already!

This was unacceptable.

Just as I opened the door and prepared to yell at the delivery guy…

Sliiiide—

But I couldn’t see anyone when I opened the door.

Only so gloomy streets were in my field of vision.

“What?”

Did soone just knock on the door and run?

Did I just get pranked?

Just as I was falling into a daze.

“Here…!”

I could hear a faint voice.

A voice so very faint that it seed out of place in my rough and ssy life.

As I lowered my head, I saw a little girl wearing an old and dirty robe.

Five years old?

Maybe six?

I couldn’t tell.

I found this kind of stuff very hard to tell apart.

It was because I wasn’t particularly good with kids.

Why?

Because they’d always be too busy crying whenever they saw .

But.

This was very weird.

Why is this little girl not crying?

Was she so sort of panhandler, looking to sell flowers or gums?

Even though it was spring, nights around this part were quite chilly.

Not only that, but she was also barefoot.

She had black hair and black eyes.

Was she like ? A barbarian?

No, no, I’m not so uneducated barbarian but an intellectual and cultured individual from 21st-century Korea. Was this girl from the feared race of this world, the Barbarois?

An orphan?

When I thought, ‘She must be feeling cold, being barefoot outside,’ the girl suddenly spoke.”

“ad…!”

“What?”

“Daaaaad…!!!”

* * * * * * * * * *

To be honest.

I was pretty calm and intelligent compared to the ignorant buffoons roaming this world.

I would have died 10 tis already if not for that.

But.

This sort of unexpected situation never failed to make flustered.

“Daaaad…! Daaad…! I finally found you…!”

“Dad? Who? ?”

I looked around.

Was there anyone else around she could have been actually talking to?

But this barbarian little girl was clinging to my leg while crying.

“Dad! Don’t leave again! I’ll be kind and obedient! Waaaaaaaaa!”

“No, who are you? Why are you calling Dad? Go away! Since when did I have a daughter like you?”

I couldn’t even get married, let alone have a daughter.

Let alone getting married, I have never even held the hand of a woman.

But this little girl was quite stubborn.

“Don’t abandon ! Waaaaaa!”

How could soone cry this badly?

In my young days, I didn’t cry this way, even when the an adults in the neighborhood stole my candy.

Clank—

Chatter—

Soon, people opened their windows or doors and grumbled in response to the commotion.

“What?”

“Did that barbarian abandon his daughter?”

“I thought the saying that Barbarois felt no attachnt to their kids was just a rumor, but it seems true after all.

“Even if it’s spring, isn’t it too much to abandon a little girl this late at night?”

“What, that face, don’t you think it’s familiar?”

This is bad!

I barely managed to get a good enough reputation to be called a hero, but wouldn’t I be seriously fucked if a story about how I abandoned my daughter spread around? Everyone will think of as garbage of a human being!

And she wasn’t even my daughter!

Whoosh—

I quickly grabbed the girl by the neck and swiftly took her inside the cabin.

I then slamd the door shut and covered the girl’s mouth.

“Unnnuuub, uuuuub!”

She was crying a lot.

Wouldn’t an outsider think it was a picture-perfect scene of a man-eating Barbaroi silencing and abducting a child?

I’m actually the victim!

Anyway.

After 30 seconds, the child finally cald down.

Sniff— Sniff—

Her nose was running, her shoulders trembling, but at least she wasn’t crying any longer.

I then spoke to her.

“Little girl, I think you’re just confused because I may look like him, but I’m really not your father.”

“Noo! Dad is Naru’s dad!”

Naru.

That was her na.

I actually didn’t want to know her na at all.

Karma gets deeply entwined once you know soone’s na.

‘That little orphan’ and ‘That little girl nad Naru’, didn’t have the sa feel to them, right?

I don’t know, damn it.

I can’t just leave her alone like this.

I’m a hero, after all.

Moreover, I was a kind and compassionate person of both ethics and intellect.

Let’s find this girl’s real father.

“Little girl.”

“Naru!”

“Uh, yes, Naru. Can you tell what your father is like? Is there anything specific you rember about him?

“Uh, black hair and… black eyes…? Also. Two arms… two legs… And, hmmm, ten fingers… Mom also said that Dad was kind-hearted… But a little foolish too…”

No, that’s not what I ant.

Is she a little slow?

I really wonder who her dad is.

Well, properly teaching a child in a world where primary schools didn’t exist did seem pretty tough.

Not to ntion, she seed to be the child of a savage.

It would be hard for her to enroll in the academy.

The entrance fee is quite expensive.

Anyway.

Finding her dad seems like a difficult task.

If so, let’s try sothing else.

“What about your mom? Do you know anything about her?”

Naru raised her hand at my question.

“Mom is… pretty! The prettiest in the world! She’s also the kindest in the world! And she’s super strong! And she strokes Naru’s hair every day!”

According to her, this mom of hers sounded like a really good person.

She must have been a ‘wise mother and good wife’ to have her child love her this much.

This was the kind of person I wanted to marry.

But how could such a mom let her daughter roam outside at this late an hour?

Did she abandon her or sothing?

Seeing fall into deep thoughts, Naru carefully watched my reaction and then added.

“Mom told to go find Dad… Dad might be in danger… She also said to ask Dad to find Mom… Dad, you need to find Mom…!”
