What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 52



Chapter 51

Chapter 51.

After the healing act, my life in confinement began to change for the better.

“One.. Two..”

The fact that I was able to do light exercise for my tired body while lying in bed.

“Lenny, what’s for lunch today?”

The point was that I could come out of the room and cook.

In fact, the treatment had to be considered successful as he no longer ate Arya’s terrible dishes.

“Could you chop some vegetables over there, Arya-sama?

Of course I had to leave the room in handcuffs.

The fact that I came out of the room was important, so I decided not to worry about the handcuffs.

‘But where is this place…?’

I live in a two-story house, and only my room has been specially renovated.

Only my room didn’t have a window, so there were windows throughout the house where you could see the outside scenery.

I only have green grass.

It seems that they built a house to confine me in a forest where people are rare.

I started getting goosebumps at the fact that the confinement plan was planned much more carefully than I thought.

‘Even if I escaped, I would have gotten lost in the forest..?’

Suppose I ran through the woods trying to escape.

In a forest I’ve never seen before, can I know where to escape?

My answer is ‘I don’t know at all’.

I don’t know if he could use magic, but he was no different from an ordinary person who had trained with a sword.

The probability that I, with a body like that, leave the forest without a map is almost 0%.

Before leaving the forest, there seemed to be a high probability of being caught by Arya, who was using magic.

‘Aria designed this?’

Unlike what I know, Arya might be a much more meticulous person.

At that moment Arya started asking questions if she read my thoughts.

“Isn’t this a bit odd?”

Was it a story about cooking?

Hearing her words, I approached the boiling soup and smelled the incense.

The incense is fine.

ㅡ slurp

“..Is it delicious?”

What’s wrong?

The sweet and savory soup with the scent of vegetables tasted five times better than Arya’s dish.

“Yes? Then, it’s okay!”

When I said that there was nothing strange, Aria smiled as if nothing had happened.

‘This aria is elaborate…?’

Can’t that be?

Perhaps Aine, her older sister, made the plan instead.

She decided to erase the idea that Aria was meticulous from her head.

The important thing is to complete the dish in front of you.

“You can’t put that in..!”

The priority was to get Arya to finish her cooking before she ruined it.

“This too? Can’t I put it in?”

To prevent her abnormal behavior, cooking time was more painful than expected.

Stop Arya trying to put something strange.

She takes care of Arya who doesn’t stir her ladle because she’s talking about herself.

After a cooking time that was twice as difficult as when I did it alone, the dish was finally completed.

Exhausted and tired, I sat down on the floor and enjoyed a short break.

“Lenny!”

Lowering her waist, Arya spoke to her in her ear.

“Should I cook next time?”

…That’s never going to happen.

Even after getting out of bed, the hardships were still there.

The reason was because of Aria.

‘What are the other kids doing?’

Next time I get a chance, I’ll have to ask for a newspaper.

I didn’t even know that their whereabouts were written there.

I passed the food down her throat, hoping she wasn’t crazy.

…Certainly I had to do the cooking.

•••

Where did my destined partner go?

I wonder if he is wandering alone somewhere.

Or, does it no longer exist in this world?

“…”

ㅡ Wow..

Rain was constantly falling from the sky.

Beside me wearing a raincoat, countless raindrops were pouring down, making a dull sound.

Looking at me being beaten alone, someone will think that I’m being beaten.

‘Do I deserve it?’

I let the fateful opponent die.

Surely, if the butler hadn’t been dragged out that day, none of that would have happened.

The ending of death stemming from selfishness.

That fact kept driving me crazy.

“I have to go back…”

I had to lock myself up in the village again.

Now, even stepping on the ground like this was an act I was not permitted to do.

Just.

I just…

I had to die slowly, missing my fateful partner.

That was the only way I could atone for the butler.

ㅡ clap clap clap.

I was in the middle of running quickly to get out of the capital.

“This is…”

Even after a year, a familiar space began to appear before my eyes.

How could I forget?

It was a place for a first date, and that space contains happy days.

“I have to go back…”

I was aware that I had to go back to my head.

However, the intention of the body seemed different.

I started to walk forward and capture the landscapes with memories in my eyes.

ㅡThe place where the memory of an elf who lost a person of fate resides has a special meaning.

Maybe because of that, I couldn’t stop walking.

What you see as you pass by are the traces of that day.

A bracelet I bought with my family at the market.

A parrot that the butler gave me as a gift.

Things I still cherish in my room began to come into my eyes again.

“Oh…”

Even so, what I put in my heart is emptiness.

No matter how much I looked around, the butler was nowhere to be found.

No.

He must be alive somewhere.

I went into the alley, denying reality in a sense of sadness.

“Even tombstones… They are all lies…”

If you go around this alley, the butler will appear, right?

Will you smile at me again?

The false belief only gave me a greater sense of despair.

“Why is there nothing…”

You’re supposed to be here..?

ㅡ Saaa..

For whom is the rain flowing?

Is it flowing on my behalf?

If not, do they flow to hide my tears?

“I don’t need everything..”

A world without him would have been a world full of dark clouds.

From noble mtl dot com

‘There is no value in existence…’

The original human chanangkun was wriggling.

•••

“I’m glad it’s not raining today”

I sighed a sigh of relief after feeling the risk of running out of food due to the heavy rain that lasted for several days.

“…I don’t like it”

Aria seemed unusually in a bad mood because she liked rainy days.

When asked why he likes it when it rains, Aria answered naturally.

“When it rains, you can’t see very well. Footprints are left.”

“Uh…”

She was so confident that she was at a loss for words.

She still seemed to think I was going to run away.

“Why? Does Lenny hate the rain?”

“No, I like it too, right?”

There were more and more lies in my life.

Should I call it a lie of survival?

She had to be very careful with her words because Aria was not yet stable.

If she made a mistake, she would see Aria with her obsession switched on again.

She was fortunate that her legs would never become paralyzed.

Since the first night, Arya has been asking for injections every night to see if she likes her treatment.

‘Take it easy…’

Aria’s satisfaction was very high because the injections were always good.

It was for that reason that I was able to walk around the house.

Satisfaction at night increases the quality of life.

The old saying was never wrong.

After spending her time contemplating the life of her confinement, Arya began preparing for her outing.

Perhaps they are going to buy food that has fallen?

I asked Arya with her strange anticipation.

“Could I ask for a newspaper?”

I wanted to ask him to take me outside, but I decided to ask for the newspaper.

No matter how much it was, I thought that going outside crossed the line a lot.

Arya’s storm of obsession was terrifying.

“…Newspapers?”

Arya, not happy that I was learning information from the outside world, frowned.

Suspicion lingered in her blue eyes, demanding further explanation from me.

“It’s okay to keep vegetables, so it doesn’t have to be the latest newspaper.”

She had to change her route countless times.

If I shouted ‘I want to know the outside world!’, There was a risk of losing the trust I had built up.

“That’s okay”

Fortunately, it seemed that the eyes that were suspicious of me had disappeared.

I would have thought that the wisdom of life that originally resided in the world would come out here.

I decided to be content with being able to avoid Arya’s suspicious eyes.

Even if it wasn’t a new book, information about the hero could be written, so it wasn’t a bad result.

“Have a good trip, Aria!”

So I said goodbye to Arya as she left her house.

“..Do that.”

Before leaving, Arya turned her cheek and came towards me.

It was obvious that he wanted to do it.

ㅡ side..

He kissed her lightly on the cheek of her aria and waved her hand at her pulling her hood over.

“…”

Had it not been for her handcuffs, she seemed to be a married man seeing off her infallible wife.

But why didn’t he lock himself in the room?

I guess that’s how much my trust went up.

I was enjoying my freedom in the house Arya left, feeling a bit proud.

‘A letter?’

What stationery..?

There was no letter coming to me, so I held the letter inconveniently because I was handcuffed.

ㅡ Rumbling!

At that moment, the door opened violently and Arya entered again.

What did you leave behind?

Aria started looking at me urgently.

Me?

“You…You were so natural..!”

Ah.

She didn’t let me go.

I just forgot.

Certainly Arya seemed far from her meticulousness.

‘Let’s hide the letter…’

I hid the letter in my pants and followed Arya back into the room.

“Are you just sitting there..? You can’t even pretend to be popular when someone comes..?”

As she waved her head up and down to signal her understanding, Arya closed her door and began to leave.

ㅡChulkkeok, drooling.

The lock seemed to have been forgotten.

The sound of Arya’s footsteps is getting farther and farther away.

I decided to take out the letter I had hidden in my pants and check it.

‘There may be information about the kids.’

Information is always important, so I started unfolding the letter again showing traces of Arya’s reading.

“This… This…!”

Unexpected information was written on the letterhead.
