The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 388



389 – Special Class

Raelan, who returned to the capital, was contacted by a Modest employee who was waiting for him at the portal station and headed straight to Modest’s secret hideout.

Everyone was gathered in the basement except Bella. There was a heavy silence, different from the usual light atmosphere, probably due to Luna’s death.

As everyone gathered around Raelan’s arrival, Ross slowly looked at everyone one by one and opened his mouth. The story was long, but the content was simple. By arriving at the 10th floor of the labyrinth before anyone else in order to revive Luna.

The previous policy of watching and responding to the situation changed to acting first due to Luna’s death. It was a big change, but his colleagues, who knew what Luna meant to Ross, accepted it without opposition.

Everyone had realized to some extent that Ross would definitely fall apart without Luna by his side. In any case, it was necessary to prevent the Holy Grail from falling into the hands of Roel and the church at Bella’s request. Thanks to this, there was a feeling that it was both a job and a job, and it also had a great impact as there was no one who disliked Luna, who was kind and considerate to everyone.

Raelan and Eunice had a special request from Ross. The request was to find the culprit who killed Luna. The two agents nodded without hesitation.

Just as the story was about to end with the group gathering again on the day before the labyrinth was fully opened, Estelle suddenly raised her hand and suggested that the people who had gathered at the Modest’s secret hideout to save the world be named as one.

Raelan was surprised by the suggestion to the point where he slightly raised his evaluation of Estelle. In a situation where the direction of the group had completely changed, choosing a name was a way to solidify the group’s identity.

He was a little surprised that Estelle did what he had been planning to suggest before entering the labyrinth. Unlike Estelle’s evaluation, Raelan’s expectations for Eunice were decreasing. He thought that Eunice, who was known as the bookkeeper who read the situation, should have taken the initiative, not Estelle.

Ross, who was silent for a moment at Estelle’s suggestion, briefly decided on a name for the group.

“Rescue team.”

That was a very nice name. It could represent the identity of a group fighting to save the world, and also contained the meaning of saving Luna from her death. Since no one objected and there were no differing opinions, the word Ross mentioned was chosen as the name.

As soon as the story ended, Ross left Modest as if he was being chased by something. Estelle and Ellie, who were looking at this with concern, made eye contact without saying a word, nodded and followed behind. Lamine quietly left the basement, saying he would see her at the next meeting.

The only ones left in the basement were the two tricksters. Eunice, who was roughly ruffling her orange curly hair, felt Raelan’s eyes staring at her and met her eyes. It was a strange gaze. It was close to the way a professor would evaluate others when taking an evaluation test at the academy.

Eunice, who was in a bad mood for no reason, frowned and spoke irritably.

“… Why do you look at me like that? “As if we were going to score points.”

Raelan raised an eyebrow at those words, took off his coat, draped it on a chair, and sat down in the empty seat next to Eunice. When Eunice was biting her lip, feeling nervous as the distance suddenly got closer, Raelan suddenly asked.

“How do you evaluate the current situation?”

Eunice, who had been looking at Raelan with blank eyes at the sudden question, came to her senses belatedly and laughed with a bewildered look in her eyes. Raelan said she was really trying to evaluate herself.

They were two people who were usually compared as being the same tactician. Just as Ross felt inferior to Roel, Eunice also felt a little inferior to Raelan, who designed the plan more skillfully than herself, had a lot of diverse experience, and had excellent coping skills.

As Raelan tried to evaluate her, Eunice responded in a provocative tone filled with irritation, unlike usual.

“… Of course it’s the worst. Look how much Luna’s death affected Ross. Originally, we had decided to investigate the Holy Grail and respond in a way that would be most beneficial to us according to the situation, but now we have a goal to somehow reach the 10th floor first, even if it means taking risks. Ross wouldn’t mind throwing Luna’s body into a pit of fire to save her, right? “The nervousness to save Luna will definitely create a fatal variable.”

Eunice’s plan was completely turned upside down. Of course, Eunice was right to think that this was the worst possible situation.

“Yeah, it’s the worst.”

When Eunice, who was in a good mood at Raelan’s obedient acceptance, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she heard back words that completely denied the previous words.

“I would never have thought that a man who read the situation would have such a foolish idea.”

Eunice pursed her lips with an expression of bewilderment at the sight of Raelan looking at her with contempt, as if he were looking at worthless trash.

“… “What?”

“Could it be that you are deaf?”

Eunice shouted at the sight of Raelan slowly pulling back as if looking at something of even less value.

“That’s not what I meant! No matter how you look at the current situation, there is no good way to interpret it! “Luna’s death will have a huge impact on us!”

“Yes, Luna’s death had such a huge impact that it changed the way we acted. But is it really the worst?”

Hearing Raelan’s cool voice, Eunice calmed her excitement and slowly interpreted the meaning of his words. Raelan never once talked to himself about useless things. It seemed clear that he thought there was no need for unnecessary interactions with colleagues. There was a clear reason why Raelan came up to him and said these words.

Although she didn’t fully understand what Raelan was trying to say, Eunice had an idea of ​​the answer he wanted.

“You’re saying it’s the best situation, not the worst?”

“Still, you have insight. At least to the point of finding out what the other person wants to hear.”

Eunice, whose true feelings were revealed, pouted her lips for no reason. Raelan, leaning back in his chair, looked at Eunice and smiled deeply.

“You’re still a kid who doesn’t deserve the word ‘scheme.’ “Compared to your outstanding intelligence, your lack of experience is limiting your vision, which should see a wider picture than anyone else, for the sake of rationality.”

“… .”

I couldn’t refute it because it was true. Eunice herself was aware of her lack of experience. Raelan lifted his back from the chair and glared, leaning his upper body closer to Eunice.

“Can’t you see it yet? “This huge board that someone designed.”

“… board?”

Eunice could not see any plates. I didn’t feel anything like usual. Raelan sighed at the sight of Eunice tilting her head.

“I think your growth will be of great help to us. That’s why I endure these frustrating and pathetic conversations that I wouldn’t normally have.”

Eunice, who knew Raelan’s personality, nodded vigorously as if in agreement, but then slightly averted her gaze when she saw his face distort.

“I’ll be your one-day professor just for today.”

Raelan continued with a hint of mockery in his voice.

“The special class is Who Killed Luna? “It starts from there.”

Eunice felt bad about Raelan’s words, but she instinctively felt that this would be a great help to her growth and thought seriously about it. After much thought, Eunice thought of the person who would benefit the most from Luna’s death.

“… “It’s a denomination.”

Raelan asked, raising the corners of his mouth with an expression of interest.

“Why do you think that?”

“Because the church has already tried to take Luna’s life. I think it is the church that can benefit the most from killing Luna. “I think the church’s plan worked just because Ross is anxious to enter the labyrinth.”

Raelan, who had been tapping the table with his fingertips while listening to Eunice’s answer, stopped his hand and said.

“Wrong.”

“yes?”

“The reason the church first targeted Luna was to use the abilities of Mad Jamie to kidnap Ross and drag Roel out of the academy. However, now that Jamie is dead at the hands of Ross, the most beneficial direction for the church is for Luna to remain alive and captured by the church.”

Eunice unconsciously nodded in understanding at Raelan’s explanation. Certainly that explanation was correct. If Luna were alive and captured by the cult, Ross would definitely have tried to break into the cult and rescue Luna, even if it was too much to do.

If that happens, it will be possible to use Ross to lure Roel out of the academy, just like the purpose of the church’s first attack on Luna. This was a direction that Eunice, who lacked experience in understanding and secretly manipulating people’s actions and thoughts, had not thought of.
