What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 46



Chapter 46

Chapter 46.

I was alone in my room after a terrible mealtime.

‘I’ll be back soon, wait a little Lenny’

After breakfast, Aria went out, saying that there were no cooking ingredients for lunch and dinner.

How on earth does Arya cook?

With that thought in mind, I wrote down the recipe in detail on a piece of paper.

Today’s lunch was washing away the bitter vegetable stew I ate in the morning, hoping for a little better.

Since I thought of Shiana when I was young, I was thinking about how she was doing.

According to the goddess, everyone said that she was almost crazy, so it was Shiana who was most worried.

Arya’s condition was also not normal, but it was because Shia, who cast me as her destined partner, would have more problems.

According to the fortune teller, the fate of the elves seemed to be very important.

To the extent that it is directly related to the problems of life.

Perhaps he blamed himself and hid somewhere.

Shiana was an evasive elf who ran away from trouble, so I didn’t think she was living a normal life.

‘Come to think of it, does everyone know I’m here?’

When I thought about Siana, other warrior parties began to come to mind.

There was no reason for them to leave me alone with Aria.

Eren, Sera, Siana.

Aren’t they all women who showed abnormal obsession with me?

Are they leaving Aria and me alone?

It was impossible.

Maybe no one knows I’m here?

I don’t know if it’s a saint who supplies injections.

My guess is that they didn’t know that I was being imprisoned.

“Haa…”

It was a situation where a sigh came out.

How the hell are you going to get these kids back to normal?

The situation was summarized as follows.

First, during the warrior party, except for the saintess, no one knows that I am being imprisoned.

Second, the most worrisome thing is that Shiana is not to be taken lightly by the fate of the elves.

Third, when can we return to the real world? When are you going to bring all the crazy kids back to normal?

It was a situation where I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t get out.

The fastest way to return to Earth is to return all the children to normal.

The first hitter of the treatment was, of course, Aria, who was closest to her.

‘I have to find out that she is not the princess.’

How the hell can she stop being a princess?

Status did not change so quickly in a year

Once born as a princess, she lives as a princess until the end.

Because that was the royal family and the value they had.

It was an acceptable word for Arya with a different hair color.

She is obviously of imperial blood.

“…What really happened out there?”

How should I ask Arya, who gets seizures while holding a syringe whenever she talks about the outside world?

“I need it…”

The card of the deal.

If you want something, give it to me.

All I had to satisfy that was this body.

Only one body.

“…”

Do I really have to?

Thinking about it, I couldn’t come up with a better trade item.

What I’m holding right now is a pitiful body.

I can’t.

ㅡ Crackle…

I started writing something down on a piece of paper at my desk.

It was the moment when I realized that estimating my own value is more difficult than I thought.

•••

“Siana sister!”

Noisy.

Someone was banging on my door and calling my name.

I didn’t want to be called Siana anymore.

‘Siana’

Although we met for quite a short period of time, the memory of that voice is not forgotten in my head.

When I closed my eyes, all I could hear was his voice.

I can’t hear it anymore.

Tears began to flow from my eyes as I remembered that fact again.

I blamed myself again and again.

Because Lenny got hurt because of my fault.

Seeing Lenny with serious injuries on her body and feeling her responsibility, I left the mansion.

‘Are you running away?’

Eren said to me as I left the mansion.

You opened your eyes as if you were blaming me.

Are you really thinking of hurting Lenny like that and running away?

‘…’

What can I say to Eren?

I’m just a disingenuous coward who only runs away.

I left the mansion without saying a word, leaving Lenny with her wounds.

I returned to the village of the World Tree and lived half-dead.

When I first arrived in the village, people called me a fugitive and cursed at me, but after knowing the circumstances, no elves cursed at me.

‘Cheer up…’

Only words of consolation exist, and no one blamed me.

‘It was my fault, so why am I comforted?’

Even being comforted is not permitted to me.

So they locked me in the room.

In a room where there is no light and I am alone.

At first it was okay because he was blaming me in that room, but not after that.

I started to hate everyone other than myself.

‘Why did you interfere with us?’

Isn’t this all a ruse by humans? Like before meeting Lenny, the disgust was growing.

Every time I thought of Lenny, I came back to my senses, but recently it has been difficult.

‘Even though Lenny is human, he is not human.’

I was getting scared myself because I kept thinking about this.

Isn’t it going crazy and becoming a different being?

Today, when I felt that way, one of my family members was knocking on the door.

“…”

As usual, I ignored what appeared to be my little brother.

As if that was the correct answer, the knocking sound went quiet and the voices calling my name diminished.

“I got a letter, I’ll leave it”

A letter?

You mean someone is writing to me?

Could it be the letter from the butler waking up?

It was a happy working moment as my depressed brain woke up again.

By the time I stopped hearing my sister’s voice and footsteps, I moved and opened the door.

ㅡKikiiik..

There was a small letter in front of it, and I quickly closed the door with it and went back into the room.

—-From Eren.

From noble mtl dot com

As expected, it was a letter from Eren.

‘Did the butler wake up…?’

If the butler wakes up, can I go see him again?

I didn’t even want that.

I just wanted to apologize.

To the butler.

A sincere apology.

ㅡ Softly..

Holding the letter in the envelope like that, I started looking at the words written on it.

“…”

That night, after reading Eren’s letter, I left the village and headed for Eren’s mansion.

•••

‘Good..!’

Having valued myself, I felt satisfied.

I felt like giving it away at a bargain price, but I hoped it wouldn’t be an illusion and waited for Aria.

What if Arya doesn’t agree to this deal?

‘How could that be?’

Arya, feeling guilty about using force, would never refuse.

Because it was such an unconventional proposal.

I couldn’t deny it.

ㅡ click, click, click.

The sound of unlocking her lock could be heard from the door to see if Arya had come.

I was anxious about her coming.

“Nothing happened..? Aren’t you bored?”

It was Aria who started examining me with sharp eyes to see if there was anything uncomfortable about me.

“Nothing happened.”

Seeing me answer with a smile, Aria exhaled as if she was glad. In her hand, there was an envelope with something in it.

What did you buy?

I wondered what she had bought, so I asked.

“What did you buy?”

“Uh…Huh?”

What was wrong with my question?

Arya looked at me puzzled.

“B..It’s a secret..!”

“…”

Curious?

The desire to resolve this curiosity began to spring up.

Curiosity.

Speaking of secrets, isn’t it human psychology that you want to ask?

The key to unlocking that secret was in my hand.

“Arya, would you like to take a look at this?”

In my hand, which I stretched out to show to Arya, I was holding several bundles of paper.

“What is this?”

The first step, satisfying Arya’s curiosity, was a success.

Aria was looking through the stack of papers I handed her.

“Lenny..Point..?”

I shook my head vigorously at Arya.

I set the value of my actions and Aria lives on that value.

That was how I could get information.

“Answering a question 50 points.. Getting a haircut 30 points.. Granting a wish unconditionally 1000 points..”

There were many other things besides what Arya said.

For example, 10 points for listening to compliments, 10 points for hugging, and 100 points for cooking for me..

Of course cooking was what I gave 100 points to Aria.

If it was my sincere praise and skinship, Aria would unconditionally accept the deal.

“Yes, I will give you points if you answer the questions I want.”

That’s how you buy the behavior you want.

It was my last desperate attempt to get information.

“Hmm..”

Aria frowned as if she was worried and was staring at her paper.

“What do you mean by granting any wish here?”

“It is literally granting wishes.”

“Unconditionally..?”

I wondered if I had misunderstood the word unconditional, but it was already spilled water, so I answered.

“Yes, unconditionally.”

“Okay, let’s do this!”

Arya smiled broadly at me to see if she liked it.

She seemed to have made a good deal, so she responded to Arya’s smile.

‘…Stupid Lenny’

Only Leni didn’t know where the victim was.

It was because there was no clear rule and it was only left to Arya’s conscience.

Still, Arya didn’t intend to cheat, so Lenny, who only pushed her body into a deal, could be considered the winner.

“Let’s start, what did you buy today?”

It was a question worth 50 points.

“This… This…?”

Blushing, Arya picked up her envelope.

What the hell did she hear that made her feel ashamed?

To get her 50 points, Arya rustled and started taking her stuff out of her bag.

“…What is that?”

It wasn’t a question I didn’t know.

There was no one who didn’t know what the object was, but it was just outrageous.

“…It’s handcuffs”

I just asked.

Getting information you don’t want to know, I gave Arya 50 points almost for free.

“Stroking my hair…”

Arya, feeling ashamed that the item was discovered, demanded to stroke her hair.

I saw something embarrassing, the shy Aria.

It was a space where winners and losers did not exist.
