The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 387



388 – Brothers with many similarities

It was only then that I realized I was walking when someone grabbed me by the collar and shouted something. He was clearly spewing anger right in my face, but I couldn’t hear anything. Someone stopped the person who was blocking me.

When the person blocking my path disappeared, I walked aimlessly forward again. Tap, tap, tap. With every step, my whole body vibrates with something. It’s because something inside me collapsed.

I stopped a few steps in front of the coffin. For a moment, I had a strange feeling of silence, as if I was alone in the world. At any moment, the warmth that always remained inside me disappeared without a trace.

I took a deep breath and moved on from where I had stopped. Luna was in her coffin. She looked as lovely as when she was fast asleep on the bed, without her breathing at all. She was momentarily distracted by her relaxed face.

Strangely enough, I wasn’t sad. Her tears didn’t flow either. She didn’t feel any pain. She was just frustrated because she couldn’t breathe. This is because Luna’s face, her expression gone, felt so cold.

“Luna… .”

I guess my voice was so quiet and unclear that Luna didn’t hear me. I tilted my upper body, brought Luna closer to her face, and spoke again.

“Luna, I’m here.”

There was no answer back. It was okay. Because it was my happiness to wake up at dawn and look at Luna sleeping for hours. Luna had her makeup on and a pretty dress on, and the sight of her sleeping was also very lovely. Yes, Luna had a lot to praise today as well.

“Luna is always pretty and lovely. “Even if she’s watching, she wants to see it.”

There were many stories I wanted to tell. She couldn’t even properly tell me stories about Luna’s favorite movies, stories about her famous comics and novels, or stories about the world I lived in.

“The main character of that movie eventually realizes love too late and returns to the woman. And the movie ends with a happy ending, conveying her true feelings.”

I laughed. Luna must have laughed that it ended with a happy ending.

With a tight smile on my face, I inadvertently discovered Luna’s hand hidden among the numerous flowers. She removed the flowers that covered her hands. Luna’s hands, once white and warm, were a mess from her wounds. Her small hands swelled to twice their size and some of her fingernails were broken or missing.

The stiff smile slowly disappeared. The quiet world is getting closer and closer to me. The body revives the dying mind on its own. An unfamiliar voice flowed from my dry mouth.

“What are you doing so stupidly?”

A voice blaming itself. As if responding to that, something else I once said echoes in my head.

“Do you have time to dream like this now?”

When I woke up from the dream that day, the promise I made to Luna began to burn me again, as the vow had lost its power. I put my hand in Luna’s hand. Unlike before, the hand is cold and hard and feels like touching an object, but it is a contact that can give me greater strength now than anything else.

I smiled bitterly. Although I hesitated for a moment, I eventually apologized.

“Sorry. I promised to give my all to protect you… .”

I couldn’t keep my promise. I, who said I would give everything, remains the same. It’s because I didn’t do what I should have done before I lost the most precious thing. At the same time, I tried to stay away from the pain and remain in silence. Unable to accept Luna’s death, I vaguely waited for her to wake up again, as if I was walking through a dream.

Luna is dead.

To someone.

The loveliest girl in the world was brutally murdered.

I have lost everything.

Everything inside me burns and turns to black ashes. All feelings of guilt and self-destruction turn to ashes and disappear. Now there is only one thing left for me.

Bringing Luna back to life.

It’s not impossible. Because I knew that there was something called the Holy Grail that could make any wish come true. If it’s not possible with the Holy Grail, just find another way. Even if everything in the world were on the other side, my scales would tip towards Luna.

I carefully pulled out the hands that were touching each other. And she took a moment to find the right words. I laughed. To others, it probably seemed like a very dry smile. That was the biggest smile a person who had lost everything could make.

“He’s a liar who broke his promises several times… I promise again. I will definitely bring you back to life. “Do anything, do anything.”

I took a deep breath. I fully accepted Luna’s death.

Right now.

“So I can’t leave you in a place like this.”

He leaned over and kissed Luna’s forehead. Then, the space warehouse was opened and the entire coffin was put in.

“Stay with me, Luna.”

I closed the space warehouse, ignoring the commotion behind me.

***

Raelan, who attended the funeral as Ross’ guardian, said while blocking the way from the angry members of the Grace family.

“Everyone, please calm down a little.”

“Can you calm down when your murdered daughter’s body disappears before your eyes?”

Raelan sighed and looked over his shoulder at the sight of Ruinen, who was radiating tremendous lethality and growling as if he would kill Ross at any moment.

There was no expression on his face, like a corpse. She wasn’t paying any attention to Luna’s family, who were trying to kill her at any moment. For a moment, Ross and Raelan’s gazes became entangled in the air.

At that moment, Raelan realized. Ross didn’t go into madness because he lost his lover. Those eyes were the same as Roel’s. These are the eyes filled with the conviction of someone with a blind purpose.

Ross had no intention of losing Luna. I plan to snatch her back from her death. I will do anything to do that. Just as Roel did in countless worlds.

Raelan smiled bitterly at the thought that they were brothers who had many similarities. In the end, Ruinen and his sons rushed at Ross, pushing away Raelan who was caught between them. However, when they approached Ross, he used space magic to leave the funeral home without saying a word.

Luinen, who had been looking in vain at the place where Ross had disappeared, turned to look at Raelan, emitting a terrifying energy. He leaves the work to a schemer… Ross also seems to have adapted to the role of master a little.

Raelan raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

***

“Ross is thinking of bringing Luna back to life. “There are surprisingly many ways to revive a dead person.”

bang-!

Ruinen shouted, slamming his fist on the desk.

“By dirty black magic or demonic power? “Do you think my daughter would want that!”

“I promise, in the name of the Perlkus family, that such a thing will never happen.”

“It was because of him that my daughter died in the first place! If it weren’t for him, my daughter wouldn’t have died! “If she had come back with her family, she wouldn’t have died!”

Seeing Ruinen’s excited appearance, Raelan asked with cold eyes.

“Do you really think that Ross was responsible for Luna’s death?”

Ruinen, realizing that he was aroused by the cold voice, bit his lip to control his emotions. Raelan watched her for a moment, then raised one corner of her mouth and spoke in a voice that showed emotions different from her usual.

“I also have a daughter who is the same age as Luna. She was also friends with Luna. I know that she is very heartbroken over her daughter’s death and I empathize with her. But Ross also lost her beloved lover in an instant. “He can’t accept that, so he’s willing to do anything for Luna.”

“… Can Luna really be brought back to life? “Is there a way to bring it back to life without any restrictions, without pain or curse?”

In response to Ruinen’s question filled with deep earnestness, Raelan finished his performance, straightened his back, and looked straight at Ruinen.

“there is.”

“how?”

“Of course, the contents are confidential.”

When Ruinen looked disappointed in Raelan’s answer, Raelan answered in a low voice.

“Ross will definitely bring Luna back to life.”

Silence fell in the house for a while. Lui Nen, who was lost in thought for a moment, spoke with a stern expression on her face.

“… “I’m sorry, but I don’t believe what you say.”

Raelan shrugged his shoulders and spoke with a calm expression, as if he knew that would happen.

“half a year.”

“… ?”

“On the condition that the Grace family does not interfere with Ross, if Luna cannot be revived within six months, I will give up my head as the head of the Perlkus family.”

It was a light voice, but Ruinen realized that Raelan was sincere.

“That much… Do you believe Ross? “A student who has only just entered his second year at the academy?”

“of course. Does the head of the Grace family not trust the man his loving and wise daughter has chosen to spend eternity with?”

“… .”

“It may not be known, but Ross is the true master of the North. “You must have confirmed for yourself at the coronation ceremony that Praks and Perlkus joined hands.”

“… I saw the two families together. “Many people wondered if the North had become one, but did they really say that the central point of the North was Los?”

Raelan smiled instead of answering.

Ruinen trembled for a moment in response. A strange feeling of anticipation swept over Ruinen. Her Luinen’s head said she couldn’t believe it, but on the other hand she could feel her hope of being able to get her beloved daughter back slowly swell in her heart.

Ruinen loosened his clenched fists, wiped his face, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

“The thing about bringing Luna back to life within half a year… Can I do this in front of a notary public? Without any problems, she can be brought back to life in a way that is worthy of God. And you must never disgrace my daughter’s corpse.”

Raelan immediately nodded as if it was not a difficult problem.

“sure. “But before that, there’s something I need to check first.”

“… “What should I check?”

Raelan’s eyes shined like a snake at Ruinen, who tilted his head.

“The belongings Luna had with her when she was found dead.”

Raelan had already guessed who killed Luna. Twisting someone’s plan and using it against them was the true ability of a madman.

“I’d like to check that out.”

There was evidence there that could turn guesses into certainty.
