I’m not going to die - I’m not going to die chapter 74

74 – Is he really dead?

Before they could react to the sudden collapse of Argal, there were people approaching the messy scene.

Because the situation was such a situation, I didn’t even know that the barrier had been released.

While watching the fight between the Black Tower Master and Argal, the city dwellers who were unable to enter due to the barrier gathered one by one.

Seeing the fallen Argal, they knelt down and expressed their utmost respect.

No matter what their status, there were people who even shed tears looking at Argal.

…Because to the townsfolk, Argal looked like someone who had died defending the city.

Rather, it was Asher and Ardel who were embarrassed.

Those two knew that Argal was an immortal, so there was no reason to mourn his death.

If there was a problem, in this situation, I couldn’t even take the dead Argal and get myself out.

…And what if the dead are resurrected?

Isn’t it a catastrophe in which the dead wake up in front of the mourning citizens?

“Uh, what should I do?”

“I do not know.”

Asher said, but Ardel didn’t come up with a solution.

Wouldn’t it be a big problem if you suddenly tried to take Argal away while so many people were commemorating it?

Besides, as far as Ardel knows, Argal will resurrect in a few hours.

Considering that, there wasn’t much time.

Shouldn’t we stop the sudden resurrection of a dead person in front of many people?

Even if he thought about it, he couldn’t publicize the fact that he was an immortal.

In the midst of contemplating how to deal with that corpse, a bigger headache ensued.

“I didn’t know the city’s hero.”

The mayor arrived belatedly and got down on one knee in front of Argal’s corpse.

The weight was different because someone in a unique position showed such an appearance.

He took off his cloak and laid it on top of Argal.

As many as the mayor paid tribute, Ardel felt like his head was in a mess.

The mayor, quite understandably, thought that Argal was dead, and began to give orders.

Things started to get bigger.

Even if he saved the city and survived, he would receive a considerable reward, but since he died so heroically, he had to give Argal enormous honor and wealth as the mayor.

It was natural.

If no reward is given to those who risked their lives, who will risk their lives for the country?

“I will never forget your sacrifice. All citizens will commemorate you, request a Hero Medal from His Majesty the King, and do everything in their power to promote your family to one level. Also, a statue of you will be placed in front of City Hall, and your name will be inscribed on the boulevards of the city.”

For a moment, Ardel imagined that the statue of Argal would be erected in front of City Hall and that the road he was walking on would become ‘Argal Boulevard’.

A market promise like that would be a good reward, but if there is a problem, Argal is not dead.

To be precise, it is in a state of being dead for a while, and then resurrects after a while.

Who would have imagined that there would be problems like this because dead people don’t really die?

As Ardel, who has an undead family, felt his stomach hurt and squeezed his chest, the market was approaching Ardel.

no, don’t come

I can’t afford more here.

The mayor did his own background investigation, so he knew that Ardel, an apprentice knight of the Golden Knights, was Argal’s brother.

So when he saw Ardel holding his heart in agony, he mistook it for being sad.

“How can you fathom the sorrow of losing your brother?”

“I… . that.”

“He looks so distressed that it’s hard to say. I promise that I will definitely pay enough compensation to the Britten family, and that his funeral will be held as grandly and solemnly as possible.”

“That is… .”

“As the representative of the city, I will take care of everything without any problems.”

Ardel was even more burdened.

The more the mayor sincerely remembered Argal and made him a hero, the more he could not figure out how to deal with this.

As his stomach hurt even more and he lowered his head, the mayor made the mistake of thinking that he shouldn’t hold on to more people who were grieving, and turned away.

If you made it clear in front of people, you had to put it into practice.

Not only did the entire city commemorate the dead, but they also had to repair the damage that had been going on for several days.

There are a lot of administrative issues that need to be dealt with.

Just as they are about to move, a blue-haired boy appears in front of the market.

He reached this place after disposing of all the tentacles left by the Black Tower Master.

Reinhardt reacted calmly to the sight of Argal’s death without being greatly taken aback.

“Mayor.”

“What is it? Confucius.”

“You can’t let a hero breathe the cold air outside.”

“Ah, I guess.”

The mayor nodded.

It was not polite to the dead to leave them like that.

“I need to start by making a comfortable resting place.”

I said it around, but it was that I was going to weave a coffin for Argal to sleep in.

But making them will take quite a bit of time.

Reinhardt shook his head.

“It’s a law that you can’t show off a hero’s body to others. Rather than making a coffin for him, it is better to quickly secure a space where he can relax.”

“That would be more etiquette. Got it. I will get you the best coffin I can.”

The mayor immediately gave orders to the bureaucrats, who began to act urgently.

Within a short time, Argal’s body was placed in a modest but antique coffin.

Seeing Reinhardt’s behavior that suited the situation, Ardel was puzzled.

Did the younger brother even share the fact that he was immortal and that he would be resurrected after a few hours?

If not, how could it look like that?

Ardel quietly approached Reinhardt and asked.

“Reinhardt, how did you know Argal wasn’t dead?”

“…As expected.”

“An expected?”

Ardel was taken aback by the unexpected answer.

Reinhardt stretched out his thoughts one by one.

“If Argal was really dead, Asher wouldn’t have looked so calm, then that corpse was actually pretending to be dead, or it was camouflage, or there are various possibilities. For example, if you are going to die and be resurrected, you can’t openly resurrect it in front of others, so you hid it in a coffin as a temporary measure.”

“…You expect this?”

Ardel was in awe.

My younger brother hid that he was an immortal, but there was someone who noticed after seeing the circumstances.

Reinhardt answered calmly.

“I wasn’t sure. There are no immortals in the world, so I judged that Argal was not dead after seeing Asher’s reaction.”

“Even that alone is great.”

“Is there anything great? Rather, I want to hear what happened inside the barrier?”

Ardel was in a moment of trouble.

What happened inside the barrier was not something that could be shared with others.

Especially the fact that Argal has returned.

Of course, Reinhardt is a trustworthy person.

Aside from fully helping Argal, it was clear that his fast brain speed would be of great help to his younger brother.

Then it would be fine to tell us the rest except before the regression.

Hearing what had happened, Reinhardt nodded and suggested some directions.

“There are two directions.”

“What is it?”

“First, Argal is to be treated as really dead.”

Steal Argal away and get a new identity.

There were many benefits to be gained in the process.

In particular, the Briten family will become a family that received the Hero Medal, and if the mayor not only supports them, but also helps Reinhardt’s family, Russelmann, the Briten family will be able to become counts.

Taking honorable gains, Argal is the first to act as a different identity.

“And second, to tell the market the truth.”

In order for Argal to operate as he was, he had to stop making heroes in the market.

If a statue of Argal is erected in front of City Hall and his name is engraved on the side of the road, will he be able to walk around alive?

Therefore, it is only right to reveal to the mayor that Argal is not dead and stop at the line where he is properly compensated.

Even so, because he saved the city, the family could ascend to the rank of viscount, but it would be difficult to rise to the rank of count.

“What would you choose?”

“…This should be the younger brother’s choice.”

It was difficult for Ardel to think about this easily.

He will be resurrected in a few hours anyway, but in the meantime, will his brother become a hero who sacrificed his life for the city?

Reinhardt also nodded.

It’s up to you to judge for yourself.

The bigger problem is how to get Argal out of the coffin.

do i have to take it back

Ardel and Reinhardt both worked hard all day, but they collapsed and had no time to rest.

On the contrary, Asher was so injured that he could no longer maintain his spirit and collapsed.

Ardel laughed.

“…You should get some rest.”

Ardel was also moved by the way he tried to change his brother’s mind while being hurt like that.

Asher’s will to approach his younger brother’s mental part worked.

On the other hand, the other girls didn’t play their roles properly, but if they knew that Argal was immortal, they could relieve their excessive emotions.

When you get back to a normal relationship, it will help you a lot as a colleague.

Ardel thought positively.

“…maybe not, but.”

Ardel sighed.

The lover’s problem should be taken care of by the culprit, not something Ardel, the older brother, can do.

As long as they are already entangled like vines, they cannot be separated, and they have to be good at tug-of-war in a relationship of four people.

The question is, will the younger brother, who has become insensitive to love feelings due to madness, be good at tug-of-war?

If you don’t do it right, there will be a disaster you can’t afford.

…While I was thinking about that, there was a girl who woke up first.

“Oh, brother, what happened?”

“I’m in the coffin over there because things got a little twisted, but it’s okay for you to worry for now.”

Raeli was worried about Argal’s madness.

Because he, who had become corrupted, abandoned everyone and tried to cross the line he shouldn’t have crossed.

Argal passed out before he regained consciousness, so he was worried about that fact as soon as he woke up.

Fortunately, Raeli said with a deep sigh when he said he had managed to fix it.

Having heard the fact that she was an immortal several times before, she was able to accept it.

“I thought it was a lie, but it really doesn’t die. It’s a problem because people have gone crazy.”

“…right.”

Then Raeli smiled.

It was a maddening smile somewhere, so Ardel was taken aback and stepped back.

“It’s rather good, how many things can I do comfortably if I don’t die, I’ll make sure you pay the price for attacking me. Whoop whoop.”

“That, is it?”

Ardel quietly prayed for his brother’s rest.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s a big deal.

…Take care of yourself, younger brother.

But there wasn’t just one bomb.

As soon as she woke up, the appearance of Bessia, who healed the people around her with her strong holy power, was unusual.

Ardel somehow went to Bessia and made an excuse for her brother.

Or it’s because I think there will be a big problem.

“The job was done well. Besiah, Argal stopped going mad for a while, and even though he’s dead now, he’s an immortal, so he’ll be revived soon… .”

“I heard you.”

Bethia nodded.

I did say he wouldn’t die.

But I thought he meant that he was confident that he wouldn’t die, or that he didn’t have to worry.

But I didn’t know that he would be an immortal.

“…I thought about it a lot.”

She looks tired of something.

When Argal was about to fall, she brought out the word of understanding in order to stop it, but after the work, looking back calmly, she had exhausted her emotions to an excessive extent.

However, when he learned that he was an immortal, he developed a repulsive force against the emotions he had overconsumed.

I felt like I wanted to get away from him for a while.

Bethia turned around.

Still, it didn’t come off completely.

…Even if that life is that of an undead.

Argal risked his life to save her.

Because he prevented the death of the bishop, who was no different from his parents.

His dedication and his help are not going anywhere.

I am still grateful for him.

I wanted to take a step away for a while and sort out my complicated emotions.

She was finally able to get rid of her stubborn obsession.

I don’t know if this obsession has helped him, but rather it has been a hindrance to him.

Bethia seriously considered whether there was a better way.
