What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 43



Chapter 43

Chapter 43.

Deep sleep always illuminates one’s dark inner self.

Desire, ideal things projected into dreams, and that was an adjective for Lenny, who fell into a long sleep.

Lenny was sitting on a vast green meadow.

“…Is it dead”

Is this heaven? The thought was running through Lenny’s head.

That’s because the place Lenny was in was a space that could be called heaven.

Because she saw the little rabbits running and playing in the green meadow, the birds chirping vigorously, and the blue sky, she was Lenny who thought she had died and came to heaven.

‘Heaven or where is the time for me to go…’

Because I had lived for peace, it was a moment when she felt it was natural for her to be in heaven.

ㅡ Stupid!

“Who… Who is that?”

While I was feeling satisfied with her behavior, someone cursed at me.

A being worth talking to in heaven.

I think there was only one such object.

“Angel?”

Aren’t angels living in heaven? My reasoning was reasonable and there was nothing to question.

Except for the target being not an angel.

—-Don’t treat me like an angel.

The voice that rang in my ears was not an angel’s sweet whisper, but a cry that filled the space with grandeur.

He’s not an angel, and he’s worthy of such a sense of intimidation in heaven.

“Are you a goddess…?”

The one who sent me to another world, the one who made me suffer and appeared as soon as I died.

“This bastard…”

ㅡWhat..What absurd remarks..!

I didn’t normally swear, but harsh words had to come out of my mouth.

It was because he remembered all the hardships and times he had gone through and knew that it was all the fault of the goddess.

“If you send me to another world, shouldn’t I give you skills and abilities?”

In the different worlds I saw in the book, most of them had fraudulent abilities.

But what about me?

A butler who only learned basic swordsmanship due to his incompetence, he was the owner of an ambiguous ability to live on his own.

I was just a butler who had to work behind the scenes of the main characters.

No one recognized me no matter how much I ran for peace.

The goddess dropped me into this world with only one memory of her origin.

Without saying anything.

Perhaps my will was conveyed to such a goddess, and she began to open her mouth.

—-…I fully understand the dissatisfaction.

She was a goddess who nodded her head as if she knew my inner thoughts.

ㅡI’ll send you home, is that what you want?

“…Seriously?”

—-Yes, the goddess does not speak twice with one mouth.

So easy? You send it?

But the goddess who read my words answered that I was already dead.

ㅡYou are not dead yet.

“…I live?”

It was unbelievable that he survived the blast.

The eyepatch exploded from my eye and I heard the sound of a building collapsing.

Surviving the explosion was impossible except for the hero.

ㅡI saved you. I don’t know if this is a good move or not.

With that said, the goddess began to tell me the meaning of my existence in another world.

From noble mtl dot com

—-You fell because the space was twisted. You might see that your very existence is twisted because of that.

—-With such a twist, you were able to change all of the original destinies.

The goddess said that I was able to change my fate because I knew the original story.

Well, it has been proven that it changed the future of Arya’s older sister, Aine.

A revelation from a goddess, that fate can be changed.

“How much did changing fate contribute to world peace…?”

I wanted to hear it through the mouth of a goddess.

Whether the results of my actions were good, or the actions I took for peace were correct.

—-You didn’t do anything.

My expectations were shattered by the goddess’ words.

—-In the first place, perfect peace does not exist. Somewhere there is peace, somewhere there is unhappiness.

“…”

Actually, I might have known that too.

I wonder if it was just wrapped up in the word peace to escape from reality, so the shock wasn’t too great because there were such thoughts.

ㅡYour sense of responsibility is admirable.

Again, it was a goddess who praised me as if she had read my mind.

—-Where did that even happen?

She was a goddess who comforted me by saying that it was better than not doing it.

Then she told me that she would bring me back to Earth.

ㅡStill, the destinies you have changed must be sent back to their place.

Return the fates that have changed because of me?

I didn’t even feel it because there were so many different fates.

—-I’m going through confusion, so I’ll tell you. The fates you have changed for peace are bringing unhappiness.

Aria, Eren, Sera, Cyana, Laysha.

The situation I feared happened.

ㅡEverything happened without you. It all went crazy.

What happened out there?

How much time has passed…

—-It’s been quite a while.

She was a goddess who was said to have had many things happen besides the passage of time.

—-I have used up most of the strength I had saved to save your life. If you return them to their original state, I will send them to Earth.

Is that possible? It was a truly ambiguous proposal from a goddess.

“..I’ll try”

I was embarrassed, but I had no choice but to accept the offer because there was no other way.

Since the goddess only saved my life, she said that my physical condition would not be very good.

So the time has come for me to wake up from a dream, not heaven, and face the changed world.

•••

There was a rumor going around that a princess lived in a remote forest in a village.

I didn’t know if the rumor was true or not, but only a small percentage of people knew the truth.

“…When will you wake up, Lenny..”

Aria, the protagonist of the rumor, was just staring at the sleeping Lenny.

She has been living like this for a year now, and Lenny shows no signs of waking up.

Since she received a blessing from her saintess in exchange for her money at certain intervals, Lenny’s health condition was not bad from the outside.

The wounds that were left were a little scars, but they had healed, and the aftereffects were only around the eyes.

“Anyway, if the eyes become mine…”

Aria was fine even if Lenny became uncomfortable somewhere.

I’ll take care of Lenny and she’ll take care of all the hard work, so Lenny just needs to stay put.

“It’s okay if I don’t wake up like this…”

I’ll be by your side, Lenny will be by your side too.

Aria, who had been taking care of Lenny for a long time, was quite broken.

“I’ll make sure you don’t get hurt again…”

Arya took Lenny’s hand and held it to her head, shaking it.

It looked similar to the way Lenny pet Arya in the past.

“Thanks Lenny..”

For stroking me like this.

Lenny, who soon came to her senses, was unaware of anything.

“It’s time for an injection.. Wait a minute… Are you waiting…?”

Arya must have left her syringe, so she closed Lenny’s door and ran towards her somewhere.

I wonder what kind of injection he was going to inject. A few minutes after Aria left her room, Lenny began to come to her senses.

“…Where is this…”

Since it had been a while since she had woken up, Lenny was quite unfamiliar with moving her body.

Her hands and arms were twitchy but easy to move, and her mouth was watery and not flabby, perhaps because she had been well cared for.

“Who did it..?”

It was me who had such thoughts and couldn’t even get a sense of how much time had passed.

“What’s wrong with the room?”

The room didn’t even have a window, not knowing what time it was.

I was getting a strong feeling, so the person who took care of me opened the door and came in.

“Aria-sama..”

I was thrilled to hear that Aria, with whom I have been in love for 8 years, took care of me with such utmost sincerity.

‘As expected, I raised her well..’

Thinking of that, I looked at Arya.

Silver white hair and blue eyes, perhaps it’s been a while, her hair has grown more than last time.

“Le…Leni…”

It’s not a dream…?

Arya had her eyes open like a rabbit and had a surprised expression.

How much time has passed?

Seeing Arya so surprised, she expected that quite a long time had passed.

“Lenny..!!”

Then Aria rushed at me and she started to weep.

“I..I don’t know..When I will..Open my eyes..His..”

She wanted to stop crying and talk about it, but Aria didn’t seem to want to miss this emotional moment.

“I can’t die.”

If it wasn’t for the help of the goddess, it would have been a dead body, but I stroked Arya’s hair while hiding that fact.

“Everything…It’s a relief…Really…”

Such Aria pushed her silver white hair towards me and begged me to stroke her more.

There was nothing she couldn’t do for her who clung like her dog.

For tens of minutes, we enjoyed the thrill of the reunion.

With Aria like that, I suddenly became curious about the condition of the other kids and asked her.

“What are the other kids doing?”

“…”

Upon hearing that question, Arya paused for a moment, then lifted her head, which had been lowered, and looked at me.

“Is that important..?”

—-Serious.

Did Arya originally have eyes like this?

It felt like I was asking something that shouldn’t have been asked.

A room with no windows, a huge door that is tightly closed.

With Arya’s eyes, I sensed a strange aura.

Something went wrong.

A beautiful reunion felt different from what I imagined.

“It has nothing to do with us…”

Run away.

My instincts told me so.

I tried to strain my legs to get up.

“Huh..?”

“It won’t move.”

For some reason, those legs didn’t have strength.

Is it an accident?

Looks like that wasn’t the case.

“The butler will live here forever with me..”

I don’t need their information.

Arya, who didn’t even want to know how much time was passing, reached for Lenny with the syringe she had brought.

“Don’t move..? Just look at me like the old days..?”

The needle was moving towards Lenny’s leg.

‘I really went crazy.’

It was Lenny who noticed the seriousness of the situation.
