The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me - The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me chapter 79

Chapter 12: Unfinished Problems (2)

Meanwhile, I’m finally ready to go to Speth.

My body has now fully recovered. There was no more pain in the skin.

Her scalp is still bald because Rafaela didn’t restore her scalp for one reason or another, but other than that, it can be said that everything has been restored.

– Yes, then I will go to the White Forest soon.

– Welcome back.

The story with Swann is over, and now all you have to do is use the hideout’s teleportation function to move to the White Forest.

Now I can live the peaceful life I longed for.

“… Hey i’m back Today will be the last time I come here.”

When I finished talking with Swann, Mina returned. Her expression was very bright.

“Did you finish your revenge well?”

“Uh, now the master of the mage tower will be excommunicated, and he and his followers will be imprisoned.”

“Is that enough?”

“Why, did you want to drop it into the abyss? That’s enough. Both of them are destined to be expelled from the Mage Tower anyway, so what?”

“Then you. Are you going back to the Noir Tower?”

“For now, I will. Well, although she’s been branded a whistleblower as a traitor, you just need to put some iron on her face. And the next Mage Tower owner is the junior I cherished.”

It was her job well done, but she couldn’t congratulate her on her own. Because Mina’s face was bitter as she spoke with a smile.

Originally, she wanted to become a mage tower master. However, now that her hatred was firmly embedded in her, the chances of her becoming the owner of the Mage Tower were close to zero.

I guess it’s fortunate that Magnus, who is close to her, became her next mage tower master.

“Ah, by the way. Her Highness, the princess, asked if you were really alive.”

“Huh?”

“And they asked what kind of person you were.”

“What did you say?”

“What did you say? He said that he had already made it, so there was no need to worry.”

I felt strange when I heard that the princess was still conscious of me.

“What is the princess thinking?”

“Hmm? Well… It seems that the fear remains. It seems that the romantic feelings from the past are still there.”

“… What a romantic feeling A person like that would allow me to be put to death?”

“You know that. That Her Highness as the princess and Her Highness as a human are separate people.”

Mina was right. But in the end, the princess is a stronger figure in her image as the princess. She is a calculating figure and she will do anything for the sake of her own power.

‘Well, it’s none of my business anymore.’

But I already knew that she was that kind of person anyway, so I wasn’t particularly disappointed. Even before her betrayal, I had rejected her offer of engagement.

“Don’t just tell me that I’m alive. I don’t want my peaceful life to be disturbed because of her.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not bothered by that either.”

Mina smiled and said.

Now is the time to say goodbye to her.

“… Will I ever see you again in the future?”

“It is good not to have it. If I reappear in the Empire, it will be a problem as it is.”

“You have no intention of changing the empire until the end? I was just wondering what to do with Her Highness…….”

“Not really. I just want to rest now.”

“… It’s consistently boring all the way to the end.”

Mina briefly expressed her dissatisfaction. Then she asked, squinting her eyes.

“What about Raphaella?”

“Why Rafaela?”

“Are you not going to see him anymore? You know that. How much he likes you.”

“… ….”

“You didn’t know that, did you? She was openly teasing. Now that I see you’re still bald, isn’t he trying to catch you?”

“… It’s not. It’s just because there’s a lot of work at the Mage Tower.”

Actually, while Rafaela was helping me, she neglected the work of the Mage Tower. So Marion, who had just recovered, took over her work.

But now that my revenge is over, she is back to her busy life.

And because of that, it will probably be difficult for her to meet her in the future.

“What are you going to do anyway? Are you going to leave Raphaella behind?”

“… Why, didn’t you advise Raphaella to focus on her Mage Tower work?”

“I did. But your situation is different.”

“… Raphael also got her permission to visit Speth. Are you done now?”

Although the people of the Empire were not allowed to enter the White Forest, let alone Speth, after the peace agreement, Rafaela was an exception.

Because she’s also devoted herself to SPACE. So if she really wants to see me, that’s her way.

… The opposite case will be the same.

“Okay, that’s it. Anyway, live well in the future.”

That was the time when I was about to say goodbye to Mina for the last time and let her go.

Mina, who was about to leave her hiding place, stopped as if she had remembered something.

“Oh, can I ask one last question?”

“What else?”

“Come to think of it, you. What is your real name?”

“Huh?”

“My name is Edmund. That’s not your real name That, Pesima hag made it?”

“… It did.”

“So. Suddenly, I was curious. The place you originally lived in and the language of Korra Kingdom seem to be similar, so I was wondering if the names are similar as well.”

I was surprised for a moment. Because no one in this world has ever asked for my real name.

And I was curious too. Come to think of it, Mina has a Korean appearance and she has a Korean name.

Could there be more in common between the country she was born in and Korea?

“This is Seongmin. Shin Seong-min.”

“Your last name is Shin and your first name is Seongmin, right? Wow, then your world and Korra Kingdom have the same naming convention.”

I don’t know if that’s such a surprise. In fact, the naming method in this world didn’t seem to differ much from the naming method on Earth.

“Hey, aren’t even the letters similar? Wait a minute.”

Mina, suddenly having fun here, took out her paper and pen from the space and began to scribble something on her.

She thought it might be Korean for a moment, but the characters she wrote were Chinese characters. Even that, she looked a little different from the Chinese character she saw on Earth.

… Of course, it could be because of Mina’s handwriting.

“It is different from the letters used in the world I lived in. Well, to be honest, we used to use something similar to this a long time ago….”

“Really? Then what text do you guys use?”

“Wait a minute… ….”

How long has it been since you started writing Korean? It was awkward for a moment, but I slowly started writing Korean.

After thinking about what to write for a while, I simply said, ‘Kanadaramabasa… It was when I was writing ‘.’.

Mina’s eyes widened.

“This… I’ve seen it before.”

She uttered her unexpected words.

Does Hangeul exist in this world?

“Really? Where?”

“… In the demonic castle. Didn’t Her Highness, the princess, secretly send me to the Devil Castle to find traces of you? I saw these letters in the basement there.”

“What do you mean by that? Why is that in the demon king…….”

Then there was a rumor that suddenly came to mind.

Rumor has it that the reason why this demon king is the most powerful demon king since the establishment of the empire is because he received the power of the other world.

And the person who summoned the Demon King was probably Pesima and her teacher.

If you think about it at first glance, the probability is close to atrocious. What is the possibility of summoning a Korean who is in the same world as me?

From noble mtl dot com

But what if summoning aliens is not random? What if you could specify the world to summon and even the detailed location?

“It is not necessarily the case that only the demon king is a foreigner.”

“What?”

“There are many sayings that the demon king who destroyed the Latis Empire in the past may also be from another world. Because he is such a powerful demon king, he destroyed the Latis Empire in one blow.”

“… ….”

“You. Are you really going to return to Speth like this?”

Belatedly, I felt like I knew Mina’s intentions. She still wanted me to stay in the Empire. Didn’t she keep persuading me from before?

But even knowing that, my heart is shaking.

Actually, there are many things that keep bothering me to leave like this.

‘There may still be plans for Edmund-sama.’

Saint Joan also said this.

‘But is it really okay? I tried your divination a little while ago, and it seems that your work is not over yet.’

Swan, who was exchanging messages with me, also said.

And above all, one thing that bothered me from the very beginning.

Is Pesima really dead?

I knew that at the last minute there was an attempt to somehow trap the soul in this world, but I couldn’t figure out what happened after that.

“Haa… …. I thought it was all over now. Why the hell do you keep doing this?”

I muttered as if talking to myself. Despite these uneasy factors, I was just about to leave, thinking it was the Empire’s business, but when it happened, I became curious.

Then I made a decision.

“… Then can I ask you a favor?”

“Would you like me to go to the castle and write the letters as they are and send them to you?”

“Uh. In fact, it may not be a big deal.”

“Okay. I can do that much.”

“… Thank you.”

After Mina left, I sat in the living room and thought for a while.

Actually, it’s enough if you don’t care about these anxiety factors.

Even though Pesima is a little embarrassed, she died as a penalty of the contract, so that’s all she needs. Even if she remained as a specter, she would have no power. Marion paid for her crime.

The devil’s secret? In fact, that’s not even my business. Isn’t the demon king already dead anyway? So you can just ignore it all.

But.

To be honest, my heart is not clear. If you go to SPACE without all of this being resolved, you probably won’t be able to rest properly.

And I knew the reason well.

No matter how much I draw the line, I am a person who lives in this world anyway.

“… Marion, how are you feeling?”

“I still get headaches sometimes, but it’s better than before. I’ve worried you too much. Ha ha ha…… “

Meanwhile, Raphaella checked Marion’s condition.

Fortunately, her health improved so much that she was able to continue her research. But still, Rafaela has something on her mind.

I still don’t know why Marion was sick. Was it just simple overwork?

“Thank you for working at the Mage Tower instead of me when I was unable to do research. It must have been too much to help Edmund….”

“I am also a wizard of Blanc Magic Tower now, right? I must do my duty.”

“Ah, come to think of it, now that Edmund is done with his revenge, what will happen?”

“I am thinking of leaving the empire. You will settle down in a suitable place.”

Of course, Rafaela didn’t want him to leave. So on purpose she wasn’t even restoring his scalp.

“… Okay. I have to go say goodbye to him one last time.”

“Ah, Marion. And I have a question for you.”

And there was still one task Edmund had entrusted to him. Rafaela, feeling better in her condition, decided to ask her now.

“That, back when Pesima passed away. You taught me how to pass on knowledge, right?”

“It was. Even though I failed.”

“Can you tell me what the method was? I’m curious about the magic circle he left behind.”

In order to know Pesima’s whereabouts, I had to check the contents of the magic circle. This is the last request Edmund entrusted.

Rafaela was also curious. What was the magic circle she used instead of transferring that knowledge?

“Oh, wait a minute. Where did i put it…….”

Fortunately, Marion rummaged through the drawers of her own office without any tackle. Then, after a while, she rummaged through the space and took out the magic circle left by Pesima.

“Yes, this is it!”

Rafaela stared at her magic circle. As expected, the magic of the Blanc Magic Tower was too difficult.

A new magic pattern was created again. At this point, the wizards of the Blanc Mage Tower wondered if they might have created their own magic language.

“This… may i take it? For research purposes.”

“Yes! Do by that way!”

Marion handed her the paper containing her magic circle without much resistance.

But at that moment.

“Oh!”

As soon as Rafaela grabbed her paper, she suddenly felt something hot in her. Unable to overcome her pain, she dropped her paper and threw it away.

Chiihii……

“Huh?”

At the same time, the paper on which the magic circle was drawn caught fire and completely disappeared. It happened so quickly that I couldn’t do anything about it.

“What is this…….”

Marion was also surprised. She looked at the paper with only ashes remaining with a hopeless expression.

Probably a security spell. She would have hung it up so that no one other than her approved pupils could see it.

‘Oh, this isn’t the time.’

Rafaela belatedly took out her paper and pen and drew the magic circle she saw.

I can’t remember all of those complicated structures, but I decided to draw them as similarly as possible while my memory is still vivid.
