The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 506
507 – Afterlife – After 5 years have passed since graduating from the Academy
I don’t know who will steal my diary, but I’m writing this afterlife because I’m sure someone will be curious about how the last Ross is living.
Perhaps Ross, with his gloomy longing, is watching? Or Ross of Hope or Ross of the Sorcerer… I don’t know if this will be another loss or if this will mean nothing. But I will write with joy.
Of course, I think the right order is to tell my story first. I am the main character of Roel’s novel, but this is my diary. Still, I will try to write as objectively as possible.
When I reunited with Luna on the day of the entrance ceremony, I fell in love with her again, just like I always did. Thanks to this, I had no choice but to miss the entrance ceremony, but when I still think back on the memories of that day, I thought it was the right choice. There aren’t many opportunities to make love in the academy’s library, where there are always a lot of people… Well, it’s a precious memory.
Anyway, to briefly explain what happened next, Luna and I had a long conversation about the future. Next, the Messiah members were gathered together. It was the day after the entrance ceremony, so everyone was confused, but instead of refusing, they followed me like chicks. However, it felt very awkward to see the club members looking at me and Luna with unfamiliar eyes.
Since we had not yet received the secret room, I explained to them our story in an empty classroom. Lakar looked at me with wary eyes, and after the long explanation was over, he said that he would receive his memories straight away. Arya waved her hand vigorously as she said, her eyes shining brightly as she said that she could receive the memory.
Kane thought for quite a while. She rubbed her eyebrows, scratched the tip of her nose, and looked at Luna and me with her strange pseudo-eyes. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded. She was persuaded by my bringing up secrets about her family and stories about her mother that she had never told anyone.
All members of the club received their memories from me. After digesting her memories, Rakar cried quietly, Kane smiled dumbly with her mouth open, and Arya shed tears with her complex expression.
But soon enough, we were able to get back to our old ways. The Messiah Club was born again. We had a fun time at the academy. This is not just my opinion; this is probably everyone’s common thought. Because I really had fun every single day.
We even received more members for the Messiah Club. Eunice, who was transferred to a special school like before (she cried for a long time after receiving the memory), and Navier, Luna’s best friend.
Estelle, who was the smallest in the academy but was the biggest supporter, also joined the Messiah club.
After a while, many talented and interesting juniors became members of the Messiah Club.
Even after we graduated, the Messiah Club has become an important club at Transcendence Academy.
Let’s talk about after graduation.
Rakar graduated from the academy and married his fiancée, Elena. I also have a cute son named Rika. He is now a guard knight in the capital. He can be seen as playing a role similar to a modern-day police officer. He recently heard that he was getting excellent reviews from his colleagues and superiors. He seems satisfied with his job.
Kane became an alchemist again. He even chose to share life with Arya like he did before. They seem to be quite happy that they will be together until the end. Kane, who became an alchemist, is currently traveling the continent with his wife, Aria. Aria, who likes delicious food and new and fun things, was a good match for Kane’s camping hobby.
FYI, I didn’t kill Aria’s parents this time. Now that Arya can live without having to kill innocent people, they don’t have to commit her murder anymore. However, the past of them killing people remains the same, and Aria’s parents sold all their assets to find the victim’s family, paid them a huge amount of compensation, and live their lives in atonement to God and serving others.
As soon as Estelle received the memory from me, rather than shedding tears or confusion like other people, she immediately raised her eyes sharply like a cat and demanded compensation for the hard work she had done in the previous world. Of course, I gave in to everything Estelle wanted. Because her request was reasonable.
Estelle, who graduated a year before us, found all the clans scattered across the continent and built a city next to the newly established World Tree. (Of course, there was help from Emperor Bella. For your information, the two are best friends who exchange insults with each other when they meet.)
The information guild Modist was transformed into a huge magazine company. Currently, Amber is the editor-in-chief and runs Modest as the best magazine on the continent. As expected, Amber is good at her job. For your information, I heard that Amber’s younger sister, Amy, entered Transcendence Academy and became a member of the Messiah Club.
Eunice, a tactician who read the situation, is working hard at the imperial court as before and living hard. He is said to be especially cherished by Bella. She lives with fatigue every day for the sake of everyone, and yet… She was single from birth. For reference, Navie is in a relationship with a first-year combat club student who had just entered her fourth year, and is about to get married soon. I never thought I would have liked younger men. Still, she seemed to have an eye for men and chose a man who was quite honest and decent. If he was a weird guy in the first place, Raelan wouldn’t have allowed it.
Since Raelan’s name came up, I will also write a story about him. Raelan was certainly a colleague who fought hard for our victory, but… He knew very well what kind of maniacal schemer he was, so he needed to be careful about relaying his memories. If the person who gained the memories ends up putting the continent in danger, then it is my responsibility to pass on the memories.
Still, I considered Raelan a colleague and thought I should pass on his memories. He even died to save me. However, due to Kane and Aria’s strong opposition, the Messiah Club had to have quite a long talk, and after an intense discussion, they eventually decided that everyone would work together to stop Raelan if he passed on his memories and did strange things.
Using my weekend outing, I headed to the Perlekus family with my teammates and after giving a thorough explanation to Raelan, I tried to convey the memories… Raelan sharply cut off my kind explanation and became angry at me, telling me to convey the memory right away.
I had no choice but to pass on the memories and had to be scolded for a long time by Raelan who digested them. Raelan noticed that I was contemplating whether to pass on the memory like a ghost. When asked why he was treated poorly after giving up his life, everyone had nothing to say and averted their gaze.
Fortunately, what we feared did not happen. Rather, Raelan criticized us for being foolish and proving that what we were worrying about was nothing more than a decoration for the head to focus on. He said what kind of asshole would want to fight a munchkin who could kill a demon lord?
Actually, I was worried because I thought it would be natural for Raelan… When the person in question spoke angrily, there was no need to refute it. In fact, Raelan had no intention of fighting Roel at all. He knew that there was absolutely no chance of victory through force, so he initially planned to increase the power of the Percus family through other methods.
The method was completely unexpected. Raelan obtained the location of the kimchi artisan hiding in the north from me under the pretense of relaying the memories to him late. He immediately found the kimchi artisan (the identity of the kimchi artisan was a dwarf!) and made him a nobleman of the family.
Based on my modern memories, they created a logistics center where kimchi could be delivered every morning from anywhere on the continent, and now they have become a major northern family that exclusively sells kimchi throughout the continent. Raelan’s crazy plan to conquer the continent’s commercial world with kimchi now seems quite feasible.
Because I also eat a variety of kimchi every day.
Before Raelan, the person who received the memories was Ellie. Luna said she must pass on her memories to Ellie too. Because without her help we wouldn’t have been able to reunite. I was also grateful, so she passed on the memory to Ellie. Ellie, who cried for a while and acted emotionally by hitting her fist on the wall or swinging her cane, soon returned to normal.
“… I think it’s fortunate that the two of them can be happy in the end. sincerely.”
That was the first thing Ellie said after digesting the memory. After receiving her memories, Ellie quickly grew mentally, and based on her memories, she grew up in an instant and became a great archmage like in the novel. For your information, Principal Nelson, who became Ellie’s mentor as before, retired around the time we graduated and is currently living the rest of his life comfortably at a southern resort.
After graduating from the Academy, Ellie is currently working as a professor and raising a child. She even lets cute Roel Lee sleep at our house when Ellie is busy preparing for her exams or teaching, as her house is right across the street.
There was another person who received memories around the same time as Ellie. It was Bella. Luna also thought quite a bit this time. But she couldn’t ignore the fact that in the end, her actions made it possible for everyone to win. Finally, after much deliberation, I relayed her memories to Bella. Digesting her memories, she apologized to me and Luna, with her tears in her eyes as she fell to her knees and planted her forehead on the ground.
“… sorry. And, thank you.”
Bella apologized for her actions and expressed gratitude for helping Roel win, but she promised us one thing.
He said he would strive for everyone’s happiness until the end of his life.
As promised, she became a completely different person. Bella, now emperor, is working hard for the continent. She’s worried that she doesn’t sleep these days. Even people who are not interested in politics think that the emperor is a blessing given to the continent by God.
Through me, an improved portal was created, various evil habits were eliminated, and noble status was made honorable. The number of academies on the continent increased from 4 to 10. I can’t even tell how many things have changed and how many things have been planned and implemented.
One thing is certain: as long as Bella is the emperor, the continent will dream of happiness every day in peace and development. For your information, I heard that Bella finally had a child. I heard it was all thanks to Roel’s consistent efforts. Luna and I sincerely blessed Bella’s pregnancy.
The last person to whom I received memories was… It was Roel. This was done under a plan to minimize damage by receiving advice from everyone and transmitting memories to Roel to prevent future events in advance. Roel, who had already noticed that I was different from the Ross he knew, pretended not to know this fact and treated me like an ordinary younger brother until I passed on the memories.
After a sufficient explanation, Roel, who received the memories from me…
… She cried like a child.
He doesn’t care at all if his handsome face gets messed up.
I cried for a long time, swallowed my breath, and put countless emotions into facial expressions.
And finally, he took a deep breath and said:
“… thank god.”
He hugged me and Luna tightly with both arms.
After that, Roel grew at an incredible rate and saved the world without anyone knowing. Because all problems were solved before a threat came to the world. He killed both Confucius and the religious leader, and with the help of Eli, went to the demon world and impregnated the demon king. Additionally, the children born between Roel and the Demon King (they are quintuplets) had the ability to eliminate the chaos that was destroying the Demon World. Thanks to this, the future in which the Demon King invades the human world beyond the eastern border has disappeared. So not everyone knows that Roel is a hero.
But instead, Roel just smiles kindly, saying that he likes it better that way.
“Because my shoulders are light.”
Still, Roel is Roel. Currently, I wake up early every day and work to clear dangerous dungeons and monsters all over the continent. And that too without compensation. Before evening, he always takes the portal and returns to the capital, where he always acts as a father to his numerous children.
After overcoming my inferiority complex, we became quite close friends. We often go fishing together and go camping together. Of course, if Roel brings her entire family, it’s not camping but more like camping.
The number of children who call me uncle is roughly over 20. Even three more people are scheduled to be added next month. I seriously almost got killed by Ilya and Flavia when I suggested a reasonable opinion about whether the children’s birthdays should be celebrated at a later date. Rosalind even waved a reagent bottle with his bald head on it, telling him to be careful walking at night.
If I hadn’t spent weeks playing with my nieces and nephews every day with tons of presents… The top of my head must have been clear now.
Since I’ve talked about my nephew, I don’t think I should be proud of my child. What kind of fate was the paradise experienced in the labyrinth? I am once again fortunate enough to be the father of two children named Roy and Rossi. For your information, Roy and Rossi are the most adorable and cute beings in the world. It is clear that I, the creator of this world, am certain of it.
Now that it’s time to end the story, I’ll end with the most important story between me and Luna. Luna is now a mother of two children and will soon become a mother of three children. I’ve already decided on her name. If it’s a boy, it’s called Loka, and if it’s a girl, it’s called Loki.
Luna, who graduated from the academy, is a good mother, a good wife, and still the person I love most in the world. She, of course, Roy and Rossi as well.
I graduated from the Academy and now live as a great inventor and novelist. If I used magic knowledge to make objects similar to those in the world where I lived as Jinsian, that would be a revolution and development.
Using my knowledge of magic, I created a film culture on the continent, made it possible to listen to music anywhere, and created an artifact similar to a cell phone that allowed people to hear each other’s voices through the World Tree anywhere on the continent. An improved portal, wings that allow people to fly, a pet interpreter… etc.
I am the one who is said to be a genius leading the times. It was Jin (named after the first letters of Jin Xian).
However, I hid the fact that Jin, the great inventor, was me. This was because of Bella’s advice. It showed me how tiring my life would be if it were known that I was Jin, a genius of the times and a great inventor.
So my neighbors only know me as a novelist. Of course, that alone is a pretty tiring life. It was a big side effect of my goal (not plagiarism, but homage) to introduce Sherlock Holmes to the world… Still, writing a novel is always fun. It’s also fun to write fairy tales for my children.
To summarize briefly, I am loved, I love, and I am living happily.
So, it would be a good idea to end this story like this.
The hero’s younger brother has no choice but to be happy now.
