The Hero Party With Whom I Am About To Part Ways Is Obsessed With Me - The Hero Party With Whom I Am About To Part Ways Is Obsessed With Me chapter 212

212 – Epilogue-5

The wind was blowing. The scent of the meadow gently tickled my chest.

“How about it. It’s not worse than I thought, right?”

Nerwen, who was lying next to me, was looking at the meadow with languid eyes.

“It’s true. It’s more comfortable than I thought.”

Having a meadow near the capital, I didn’t think it was such a relief.

There was still time. Living in the imperial palace wasn’t too uncomfortable, but he couldn’t stand the stuffiness.

“I thought camping would be boring.”

Later in the journey, each day was camp. There were times when tents were lost, and even if they did, the sheer fabric couldn’t stop the terrible smell of the earth.

One by one, things that I thought were horrible before were turning into innocuous things.

Training your swordsmanship, coming out to the field, meeting them face to face, seeing their laughter.

“What are you doing at the World Tree?”

“They didn’t even contact me. Well, I don’t think it would have been as pleasant as they did, but… You don’t have to worry about it right now.”

“Well, you must be thinking about the next move.”

After becoming emperor, you will have to interact with them whether you like it or not. My head was already pounding.

“Ah, I picked the fruit! It’s not as good as the fruit of the World Tree, but it won’t be too bad!”

Nerwen’s expression brightened. As if there was no need to worry, he was smiling brightly. I took a bite of the fruit she prepared, and the sweet juice filled my mouth.

“The imperial family, how are you feeling?”

“Well, I don’t think it’s going to end easily. There’s no member of the royal family who dismissed the soldiers… It’s an ugly feeling.”

It wasn’t that she was a specialist in information warfare or an assassin.

But, it’s an elf. Even with just that overwhelming sight and hearing, she was able to obtain information unimaginable to an ordinary person.

Right now, a lull ensued. We also needed time to solidify our forces and prepare for the coronation ceremony, and they also needed time to sort things out and start negotiations in earnest.

“Do you have any intention of going back?”

“This is where I should be.”

Her golden hair swayed like a field of saturated wheat.

“…”

Unbeknownst to me, I smelled her.

A little empirically, I hated being close to her. When he came within range of my scent, Nerwen always frowned and covered his nose.

I was afraid to even come close to it. It was impossible to sniff it leisurely.

The smell of Nerwen, which he smelled for the first time, was enticing like a sweet fruit tree.

“Your body… is not going to change, right?”

“If you say you don’t like it or it’s disgusting, I’ll try my best. But… I think this is enough.”

Just as my problem was delayed rather than solved, her problem was also unresolved.

As I heard in the World Tree, since I was born, I was born to love the hero.

“You get caught up in the instincts they created.”

“If it makes you hate someone, that’s something you’ll have to fix somehow. But I love Enerel because of it.”

“…”

“Besides, it’s not like I didn’t rebel? I came back after being beaten up by you. Really, what kind of elf I was, what should I have been like… I don’t want to be a fool to argue about that.”

“I’m glad.”

“I don’t want to go back to the me who hated you, and I don’t hate the feeling of loving you. There’s a reason in my life. How happy I feel.”

Maybe, she’s right. Rather than obsessing over problems that may or may not work, and focusing on actions that may or may not make your life better or worse, you may have more work to do.

“Perhaps you don’t understand.”

Maybe, maybe. I was someone who could be happy to have someone needed my life, but I was sick of the pressure of feeling like I had to do something.

“Honestly, it’s not like I don’t have sad times. After all, just because of this, because of that stupid ‘malfunction’, when I think you said that to you… I want to rip my head out right now.”

“Well, it’s in the past.”

Even I, who said it, was surprised, so lightly, I dismissed those things as the past.

Maybe I should be more angry. Maybe it’s something I shouldn’t forget for the rest of my life.

But now I didn’t want to frown or cry. The meadow was beautiful.

“But… I’m sorry. I sincerely apologize again.”

“And why?”

Nerwen bowed her head again in front of me.

If time passes like this, one day when I think of Nerwen, it will not be the image of her who was angry with me, but the image of her that I have seen so many times that I will recall this bowed head.

“If it wasn’t my will to torment you, but if it was just an act I couldn’t help because of an elf’s instinct… the love I’m feeling right now would be unavoidable.”

“Well, it’s you.”

“So I’ll apologize for the rest of my life. The feelings I feel for you right now… so that I can’t forget that this is really my heart.”

Nerwen’s expression was serious.

“Well, to some extent I can understand.”

Basically, elves do not recognize humans as the same race. Actually, that’s not too far-fetched.

It must be frightening to feel an unknown sensation from such an existence and not be able to avoid it.

“No, you’ll never understand.”

“What?”

“You… if you were in my situation, you would never hate me.”

At that moment, I thought it was a fight, so I tried to take out my fist, but Nerwen’s mouth was still smiling.

“Anyway… I’m fine. So, you don’t have to worry about me any more.”

Nerwen came carefully into my arms and sniffed me.

“No matter what I do, I do it because I feel good… Just like when you came back after washing, you smelled dirty.”

The blonde elf smiled mischievously. I thought about the meaning in a daze for a while, and then, in contemplation, I shouted.

“Now, wait. What?”

“If you think about it, you can tell. What did you do when you went to wash up by yourself?”

“No, it was a physiological phenomenon that could not be helped!”

I tried not to give them a sly look as much as possible, and to some extent I succeeded.

But I wasn’t without s*xual desire. It wasn’t that I didn’t have time to wash myself.

“You too… To some extent, it was hard to bear, right?”

I am a young man too. All of the people I went on the trip with were beautiful, and there were not a few things to see their voluptuous appearances, voluntarily or unintentionally.

It was an urgent situation to the point where I couldn’t think of anything dirty after seeing it, but I couldn’t help but remember that scene.

“shit….”

It felt like a weakness was exposed. Well, considering her sense of smell, water wouldn’t have been able to wash away the smell of my s*xual desire.

“Sometimes. Besides, I didn’t have the strength to do that in the second half.”

“I know, I know… But, I’m sure my powers have returned to some degree now. Don’t you think so?”

“…”

Now that I’m in the position of emperor, I can literally do anything.

Since I had to start a new imperial family, it was my duty to give birth to many children.

“But… if the opponent is you, it’s a bit like that.”

It wasn’t a matter of looks. It was something I felt from the first time I saw it, but the elf’s appearance was literally perfect.

“It sounds like they’re giving in to the intentions that made you. It hurts.”

“I was worried about that too… But it didn’t seem like it was too complicated. In the first place, because of the reason we were born, because of our instincts, humans enjoy that act, right?”

“Yes, but…”

If it were not for the purpose of preserving and prospering the species, humans would not have enjoyed mating so much.

“And we can, in a very simple way, resist that purpose.”

“yes?”

Nerwen took a small piece of membrane out of his pocket. An elastic, thin membrane made to be put on something.

“Hey, that…”

“I tried my best to make it. If it’s this, well… I’ll be able to enjoy it regardless of whether it’s getting your seed or giving birth to a child.”

Nerwen’s raunchy grin made me realize what a ridiculously small problem this was.

No matter how the World Tree made her, there was no reason to follow that purpose or forcibly reject it.

You just have to enjoy what you can enjoy and laugh for reasons that make you laugh.

“It looks like we’ve been sitting for a long time too. I think I smell sweat, and I need to wash a little. It smells like it.”

It only softened a little, but that’s what she said to me countless times. Every time I heard that, my teeth trembled and I gnashed my teeth.

But now, I wasn’t angry like a lie.

The same cause dominated her emotions, and though they were the same words, they were mingled with an unbelievable warmth, or even a little hotter than that.

“Hey, Enelel. Do you want to go shower with me?”

Even in front of her captivating smile, I had to think until the end.

I thought I wouldn’t do something like this if it wasn’t for someone I loved. Even after all of this, I couldn’t believe I loved her.

The feelings of hatred faded and faded, but I never thought that I could give my all for her. Just like Nerwen, or all other women, did to me.

But I followed her as if possessed.

I just didn’t want to miss this moment.

Even if it’s a little light resolution, if this moment continues, I thought that one day it would be certain.
