What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 36



Chapter 36

Chapter 36.

“…Do I have to hold on to this..?”

“Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“That’s right…”

Siana lowered her head, as if she wasn’t adapting to my change in posture.

I could tell she was feeling ashamed because the red light hovered over her slightly visible face.

“Just a little walk.”

“…”

She took my hand and followed me in the direction I was going.

‘What.. What.. Why is the butler doing this..?’

Following Leni, Siana was unable to regain her senses, as expected by Leni.

Shiana was embarrassed that her butler, who always pushed her away, attacked her like this.

‘That… Is it still good…?’

Isn’t it because you love me that you act like this..?

Siana looked at Lenny’s back as she fell into that pink imagination.

At first, she didn’t like her because she thought it was her body that overlapped with Sera’s, but when she saw her back leading her, her negative mind melted away like water.

‘That…But I can’t have a relationship…’

The memory of her bragging to Sera that she had taken away his first started to come up.

What if she bleeds from her own body?

‘Elves are liars.’

She didn’t want to be Pinocchio with her ears stretched, so she was worried that she would have to hide it.

“I have arrived.”

“Uh…Uh…?”

Upon hearing Lenny’s arrival, Sianna looked up and saw a shabby shop.

“Go in”

Like that, Shiana entered the store, led by her Lenny’s hand.

ㅡ jjallang.

Lenny and Sianna were greeted by the ringing of a bell to announce her guest stuck on her door.

There was a human figure inside the store.

The figure was short and stooped, suggesting that it was an old man of considerable age.

“Grandpa Dylan, I’m here.”

Knowing his true identity, I greeted him by calling his name.

“Again, are you asking for that rose? Stupid.”

An old man called Dylan started rummaging through his shelves trying to tick me off.

My relationship with him started 7 years ago, when I couldn’t sleep.

Seven years ago, when I was about 21 years old, I couldn’t properly adapt to the different world and was struggling to sleep.

‘Do you have any sleeping pills?’

Unfortunately, in another world, you cannot take sleeping pills unless you have a doctor’s note.

A person who works at the imperial palace suffers from insomnia and takes medicine. It was not good to be shown, so what I thought of at that time was the original white rose.

A white rose used by a warrior who took pictures of the ruins, but no shop that handles it was found anywhere.

‘Am I unable to fall asleep?’

Dylan, who had heard rumors that I was desperately looking for a white rose, appeared in front of me.

‘I’m at my store, follow me.’

At first I thought he was cheating because he took me to a deep alley, but his shop existed there.

An old and shabby store. The inside of such a store was well organized and there was no dust to be found on the floor.

I could tell how much he loved the store.

‘Now, here’s a white rose. Get out quickly Dust accumulates.’

He gave it to me without asking how I would use it.

The man who guided me to his store when I was desperately looking for a white rose was rough-mouthed but warm-hearted.

My relationship with Dylan has remained as the owner and customer of the store even six years later.

“Hmm? Did you have a lover?”

“Ah..Lover..!?”

Dylan saw that I wasn’t alone and asked Cianna if she was a lover.

Shiana stomped her feet in embarrassment at being told that she was her lover, but she regained her brazen self.

“Ah.. A lover..!”

Cianna proudly told Dylan that she was Lenny’s lover.

“…Really?”

“Not a lover”

Of course I told the truth.

At that reply, Shiana put on a sullen expression.

“..No way”

Dylan opened his eyes and looked at us.

“Didn’t that elf tell you that you are a partner of fate?”

“Yes, they say I’m a match of fate.”

Dylan started to sigh when he heard my answer.

What is it?

I couldn’t figure out why Dylan was sighing.

Dylan seemed to know what an elf’s fateful partner meant.

“Well, do your best. Here’s a rose in Hyeonan.”

He gave me a white rose with only one word to cheer up.

“Is there more than usual?”

The amount of white roses in the bottle was about 1.4 Times more than usual.

Lenny didn’t know that it meant comforting words.

After receiving such a white rose, I left the shabby store with Sianna.

What we saw in front of us after coming out of the store were dark alleys as time passed and the sun went down.

I don’t like alleys.

I was feeling uncomfortable about this place because of the memories of being stabbed.

“Butler, what are you doing? We should go on a date now.”

Siana looked at me and held my hand tight as if she wouldn’t let go.

Siana’s hands were small.

But maybe it was because he had warmth.

My tense body quickly found stability.

“Okay, shall we go now?”

So we started walking through the dark alleys.

I felt like I was falling into the illusion that the dark alleys give us warmth, probably because we were sharing each other’s body temperature.

Would it have been the same if I had walked down this alley with Sera?

I couldn’t answer that thought easily.

“Wait, butler. I was thinking of another woman.”

It was Siana who read my thoughts like a ghost.

“Pa.. Go quickly!”

“You’re another woman…”

I pressed the switch on Shiana’s obsession and hurriedly moved her steps.

Don’t let her go on her word.

“Hey! Answer..”

I ran, desperately ignoring Shiana who was talking behind me, and eventually returned to the market.

“Let go of this..!”

Shiana screamed as she shook her hand away from her holding her, as if she was angry that she had ignored her.

“You just thought it was Sarah..!?”

Shiana spoke to me in her resentful voice. There were other people around, so their eyes began to focus on us.

ㅡDid you see that the man was cheating on you?

ㅡIsn’t that an elf?

ㅡI think I saw it somewhere…

I heard people mumbling and seemed to recognize that someone was an elf from the warrior party.

“Ah.. No..”

First of all, I decided to run away.

If I told the truth that I was thinking of Sarah here, there was a high probability that today’s date would be ruined.

Since my plan, which I had set as the number one target for stabilizing Shiana, couldn’t go back to failure, I had to run away.

“Then who is it? Eren? Or the princess?”

She was Shiana who spoke the names of everyone she knew.

As more and more people gathered around me, I made a decision.

“I imagined Shiana-sama..”

“What..What..!?”

“While I was sleeping..B..”

“That..Stop..!”

Shiana hurriedly covered my mouth and closed her eyes as if she didn’t want to see the situation.

Still, she seemed to recognize that she was ashamed of the way she attacked me while I was sleeping.

Siana pondered for a moment with her eyes closed before she came to a conclusion.

“…I imagined myself, so that’s fine.”

She looked around to see if she was okay with her own embarrassing appearance, and confirmed that her Shiana obsession switch had been turned off.

Perhaps it was just a bit of a quarrel between lovers, people finally took their eyes off us.

“Shall we go now?”

There wasn’t much time left before sunset, so we decided to hurry up and enjoy the time.

“Butler, look at that!”

ㅡ Tweet.

Seeing a bird sold by a street vendor as she passed by, Sianna approached her with twinkling eyes.

“This is a squirrel parrot that used to live near our village.”

Squirrel parrots and other birds also eat acorns, but squirrel parrots live exclusively on acorns.

“If it’s a parrot, does it copy people?”

“Yeah, the acorn parrot that lived in our village does it, but I don’t know about him.”

The acorn parrot started to run amok in the cage as if to ask for it to be taken out of here.

Her savage personality made her resemble Shiana.

She felt sorry for Shiana as she stared at the parrot.

Does it lead to the same kind?

Her love of nature seemed to pity her looking at the caged bird.

“I want to buy this parrot.”

I approached the store owner and said I would buy a squirrel parrot.

“Ah.. I can do it anyway..”

Sianna’s mouth was in denial, but she couldn’t hide her joy in it.

“It’s a gift. Please think of me as me and raise me well.”

“Ehh..! I’ll think of you as a butler..!”

Siana was happy to receive the squirrel parrot and thanked me.

She didn’t know at the time what Lenny meant when she said she would consider the parrot a butler.

So we went around many places and found a fortune-telling house that looked unusual.

“Do elves believe in divination?”

I was curious, so I asked Siana, but she replied that she believed.

The Elves are the gods of horoscopes, and we were curious about what the humans would give us, so we went into the astrology house.

“…Welcome.”

From noble mtl dot com

I thought there would be an old woman in a fortune teller, but unexpectedly, there was a man sitting there with a black hood turned inside out.

“Eh.. Are you an elf..?”

The man looked at her Shiana and then her gaze was fixed.

“Is that… The opponent of destiny…?”

Right to me.

The hooded man had the smell of rancid milk stinging his nose.
