The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 441



442 – The Most Inferior

Ross, whose hand was being held, quietly looked down at his hand. After a long silence, Ross spoke in a voice that sounded like something was stuck in his throat.

“… Who could it be? “Ross.”

Ellie did not miss the slight hesitation in her voice.

“But you’re not the Ross I knew.”

Ross smiled. A smile that made the bitterness that had remained in his heart for a long time flow outward like a scent.

“… That’s right, you’ve always been quick-witted.”

Saying that, Ross moved his held hand and slipped it between Ellie’s fingers. Ellie tried to pull her hand away, but Ross’s hand was faster. Ellie, unable to remove her hand due to her tight grip, stared at Ross quietly, biting her lip.

Ross, who received that gaze, muttered in a calm and serene voice.

“You’re right. I’m not the Ross you know. but… .”

Ross tightened his clasped hands and spoke in a low, unfamiliar voice.

“Ellie, I am your only salvation.”

At those words, Ellie felt her heart beat loudly. Ellie, whose mind became clearer as her heart reacted as it pleased, looked at Ross’ blue eyes as if glaring, and spoke in a wary voice.

“… What does that mean? “Salvation?”

Ross’ eyes turned to the table covering Ellie’s body. Ellie, realizing what that look was saying, tried to hide her anxious expression, but Ross could already see that Ellie’s shoulders were slumped.

“Only I can save you from where you are now.”

Ellie remained silent as the other person knew about her condition.

“Come with me… Losing you once is enough. “I don’t want to experience this twice.”

Ross, who felt the strength in Ellie’s hand slowly loosening, smiled happily, but soon wiped the expression from his face when he saw Ellie’s sad eyes looking at him.

“I wanted to hear that from the Ross I know… .”

Ellie saw Ross’ jaw tighten. Although her clasped hands were not strong, she reacted with a sense of inferiority in response. With that she could be sure of Ellie. She now knows who Ross is in front of her.

“… “Not the leader of the Chaos Cult.”

Ross looked at Ellie with a silent, empty gaze. Ross slowly pulled her clasped hands away, stretched the corners of her mouth, and suddenly looked straight into Ellie’s eyes with a greedy expression.

“Still, you’re crazy adorable.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not the Ellie you’re so madly in love with.”

Ross kept his mouth shut at Ellie’s words. She looked at Ross thoughtfully for a moment. Ellie studied his face, trying to find differences from the Ross she knew. The exterior was exactly the same. It’s even worse than twins. If she had followed Ross’s actions of pushing her away, Ellie would have been completely deceived by her cult leader.

Ross, who was quietly looking at Ellie’s obsidian-like eyes, sighed.

“I just want to help you. “Not from the leader of the Chaos Cult, but from the heart of Ross who loves you.”

Ellie hesitated for a moment as Ross looked earnestly in his eyes, as if asking her to know his true feelings.

“… But you plan to destroy my world.”

At Ellie’s rebuttal, Ross suddenly burst into laughter. Ellie felt goosebumps rising as Ross looked at her as if she was cute, so she frowned reflexively.

“Why are you smiling?”

In response to Ellie’s question, Ross drooped his shoulders as if he was disappointed.

“Is that really what you were worried about? don’t worry. You can live in the perfect world that I will recreate. “It will be so perfect that nothing like this fake paradise can compare.”

“… “Remaking it means that it will ultimately destroy the world as it exists now.”

Despite Ellie’s sharp criticism, Ross scratched his eyebrows as if it was no big deal.

“It’s a fake world. A strange world that runs as it pleases without knowing who its creator is. “I have destroyed countless fake worlds like this.”

Ross, leaning his upper body forward and supporting himself with one arm, said to Ellie with a cool smile.

“The only thing of value to me in this trash world is you. “You have no idea how much joy it brings me to even talk to you like this.”

When Ellie realized that Ross was emotional about her, she did what she did best in a long time. It shakes Ross’ heart violently. That was a talent and talent that Ellie of all worlds were born with.

“Feeling value to me means that you, too, are ultimately a character who cannot escape from the setting.”

Ross’ head tilted halfway to the side at those provocative words. Ross, who was glaring at Ellie as if he were going to kill him, immediately raised his hand and brushed his neck.

“Ellie, I’m warning you, don’t talk to me like that. A character for the creator… “Where is such a contradictory statement?”

Ellie’s evil eyes, as if they would twist her neck at any moment, only ignited her fire even more. She slowly tilted her upper body and brought her face close to hers as if to overlap her lips. Ellie whispered quietly, her hot breath blowing on her.

“… “You are not only worse than Roel, but you are worse than the Ross I know.”

At that moment, Ellie, briefly captured by the enormous power of chaos seen in Ross’s eyes, exhaled heavily as if exhausted. Her skin tingled from the immense pressure, and the inside of her eyes felt a burning pain, but Ellie held it all in and looked at Ross.

Ross, who had remained silent with an emotionless face, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

“You’re cute, Ellie. very cute The more you are like this, the more I want to own you. “I want to correct those bad thoughts with my own hands.”

Ellie snorted at those words.

“Yeah, I just find you more disgusting. “They will remember it as an ugly, inferior Ross and then forget it.”

“… I wanted to film a nostalgic new drama, but it doesn’t suit you and me. “It suits us to hurt each other and not understand each other.”

Ross pulled back, tapping his fingers on the table as if he was disappointed. But Ellie didn’t miss the opportunity to confront her cult leader and asked her a question that would shake her emotions.

“As expected, it seems like the Ellie you knew didn’t love you either.”

But Ross no longer acted emotionally. He just quietly watched what Ellie was doing in a calm manner and smiled as if she was happy.

“Your rebellious attitude will soon change if I become the only Ross. “No one knows better than me how essential Ross is to a person named Ellie.”

Ross pushed the chair away and stood up, looking down at Ellie.

“Then I’ll wait for you on the fifth floor, where everything will end.”

Ellie quietly watched Ross leaving the library.

After Mormot left and I stayed in the cafe for a while, I returned home. As I opened the door and entered, Luna quietly came down the stairs and approached me with a lovely smile and a hissing sound.

“I barely fell asleep. I guess it was fun playing with dad for the first time in a while. “Have fun tomorrow too.”

While saying that, I leaned in silently as Luna naturally hugged my waist. Luna, who was quietly hugging me, spoke quietly.

“Ross, do you have something you want to say?”

“… “How did you know?”

“Because you are more interested in the person you love.”

I slowly pulled away and made eye contact with Luna. I moved my mouth as I saw Luna smiling softly as if everything was okay.

“… “Was it painful?”

I asked Luna a question that I had ignored and pushed away.

“… .”

“Did you blame me a lot?”

“No, Ross. “I don’t remember anything from that time.”

The answer I desperately wanted came out of Luna’s mouth. I laughed and cried at that lowly relief. Is this my paradise? I just want to cover it up, not know anything, and just be happy… A world full of lies.

“… “You died because of me.”

“no.”

“I should have protected you, but I couldn’t.”

“… are you okay. “We are together like this.”

I pushed away Luna, who was anxious and tried to hug me with a face that looked like she was about to burst into tears. The feeling of her fingertips rejecting Luna, and Luna’s expression as if she was about to collapse, seemed to be scraping at her heart.

“For your happiness… “I shouldn’t be there.”

“What do you mean… ?”

“This is my paradise… “It won’t be your paradise.”

As I turned to leave the house, Luna hugged me tightly from behind.

“Ross, please…” Stay with us. This is your happiness. If you go to the 5th floor… You will lose it all. Rossi, Roy, and me… .”

I said, slowly stroking Luna’s hand wrapped around her waist.

“My paradise… “I can lose as much as I want for you.”

Luna, realizing the meaning of those words, no longer held me.
