What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 62



Chapter 61

Chapter 61.

What makes Lenny so afraid?

Cold sweat dripped from Lenny’s head.

‘The goddess is a lie…?’

She was a goddess who appeared in my dreams and told me to heal them.

The fact that she was a false being was shocking.

Nothing made her tremble more than the betrayal of someone she trusted. The fact that she couldn’t return home was a pretty big deal.

Lenny, with such a serious expression, made Eren worry.

“Your complexion doesn’t look good. Are you okay?”

Eren looked at Lenny’s complexion.

I wonder if the revelation of the goddess I believed in when I was completely white was so shocking..

Recognizing his sad heart, Eren decided to comfort her.

“It’s okay..It’s okay, sir! I’m here..!”

Eren’s support, who doesn’t know what’s important. Contrary to her lively voice, Lenny’s mind was gloomy.

Knowing that she could go back, she sent her flirtation to Eren as a makeshift measure.

‘Why did I do that…?’

If I wanted to turn back time, I wanted to turn it back.

A double life with two women alone. Even imagining it, only a terrible future flickered before my eyes.

Aria’s house in the morning, Eren’s house at night.

The last life in a morning drama. It was getting closer and closer to me.

‘That’s a lie…!’

Laysha must be misinformed, could it be that she is not a goddess? Nonsense..

The first step is reality denial.

‘It must be an illusion’

The moment that thought wrapped around him, a thought passed through Lenny’s head.

The fact that Eren doesn’t lie. She always spoke the truth.

Nevertheless, Lenny wanted to deny it.

“I need to meet Laysha”

I will see and hear. Whether what she said was true.

The circumstances made it certain that it was true, but Lenny had to confirm it.

She couldn’t be the main character in a drama.

Lenny’s declaration to go outside had quite a momentum.

Except for Aria who frowns.

“…Going out?”

Arya crossed her arms and looked at Lenny, uneasy.

What if he goes out and gets hurt? Won’t that happen again?

If you’re with me, you won’t get hurt and you’ll be able to stay healthy.

Arya’s heart was piled up with her worries.

Knowing how much Arya cares for me, I spoke to her to give her reassurance.

“Don’t worry, with the love of the dragon…”

With dragon love.

Coming to think of it, even if I was with the hero, I was hurt every single way.

The princess escort incident, the eyepatch explosion incident, everything.

Even though there were warriors, I was wounded.

Is this right…? I looked to the side.

“…Am I not trustworthy..?”

Ah, I was caught.

My heart was Eren standing with her head down, staring at her floor.

Is there a ghost ahead?

It seemed like it would take a long time for his head to rise again.

Eren, whose self-esteem has hit the floor, Aria began to drive a wedge into her heart.

“Of course it’s unreliable. You said you defeated the demon king, but what the hell did you do as a hero? You didn’t do your escort duty properly, you harassed Lenny with a white rose, you couldn’t stop a rapist…”

Siana was stunned by the word rapist.

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at Arya’s continued factual violence.

I knew everything about the activity from the contents of the letter, but in reality, the hero’s activity I saw was that of a C-class adventurer in the neighborhood.

Eren’s face was rising red as he could no longer withstand Arya’s fact bombing.

Ah, it will explode soon. At that moment, Eren screamed so loudly that the house rang.

“That..Stop..!!”

She looked quite embarrassed as she covered her face in shame.

It’s embarrassing to be a brave man.

It was a saga that even I, who raised her with her letters, could not cover.

If you do this, you may not be able to go out, so be serious. She said to Arya.

“This time, I really won’t do anything.”

I won’t even step forward, I’ll just watch from behind.

Are you satisfied with this?

Aside from finding out the existence of her goddess, Laysha had to meet her unconditionally.

I don’t know if the fake words are true, but the warrior party members all said they were crazy. There must have been a misalignment in Laysha as well.

I wonder if my sincere heart worked. Arya’s face was completely relaxed.

“..I’ll go with you instead”

If I had to, I would give my life.

I couldn’t see him getting hurt anymore.

How much did you cry that day, do you repeat that experience…?

I’d rather die.

Lenny was such a precious presence to Arya.

“I… I can give my life for my master…!”

Don’t lose to him, Shiana, who had been listening to the story quietly, also hurriedly shouted after Aria.

As if that was the trigger for the fight, each of them was shouting that I would die instead.

Do you really need to die?

‘Just kill me now’

Seeing their meaningless fight, I thought it would be better to die.

I hope it stays like that for tens of minutes.

After the fight, we headed to the capital to meet her saintess.

•••

The time it took to reach the capital was short.

At most, 20 minutes?

My house was located closer to the capital than I thought.

‘But this took an hour?’

When I put on her blindfold, I remembered the days when I walked holding Arya’s hand.

At that time, it was obviously one hour as the actual time.

When I looked at the position of the sun, I could tell that quite a bit of time had passed.

How detailed was it…?

I looked at Arya with goosebumps.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

Aria answers with an innocent smile.

Contrary to that smile, the thought of a spider living inside her dominated her mind.

..Is it an illusion?

At times like this, it wasn’t necessarily an illusion.

Now I had to admit that it wasn’t the aria I knew.

It was nice to arrive at the capital, but I didn’t know where Laysha was, so I asked them.

“Where is Laysha?”

Do you still live in the mansion? It was the moment when he remembered that the warrior’s mansion he had seen in the newspaper had turned into a haunted mansion.

It was Eren who answered my question.

“Since Ley Sha was attacked at the mansion, she has been living in the temple.”

A thrill.

After Eren answered, she immediately glared at Arya.

Her In the first place, since it was a self-made play, the reason why she lives in the temple must have other intentions.

‘Her arm is rotten, is it because of the treatment?’

At the same time as being able to use curses, Laysha got a curse that caused her arms to rot.

She was called a mad saint in the original work, and she also used a curse.

Fortunately, the eyes of the people in the capital had a certain degree of vigor and liveliness.

Unlike the cursed people who died slowly.

It seemed that the saintess had not gone mad.

I let out a sigh of relief and made my way towards the temple.

Time passes, around the time the sunlight turns red.

We barely made it to the temple.

“No, even though it’s a temple. Why is the road so complicated..!?”

Certainly, for a temple with a lot of people going through it, accessibility was too inconvenient.

I agreed with Arya’s complaint.

“Here, Laysha lives?”

“…Yes”

A temple adjacent to the slums.

However, it did not form an atmosphere suitable for the poor to enter.

The walls of the temple reflecting the setting sun.

It seemed to be made of a fairly expensive material.

As if I guessed right, I heard Shiana’s voice.

“This is adamantium used to make weapons?”

“What..?”

From noble mtl dot com

Adamantium.

The swords used by the Imperial Knights used this mineral. A mineral used to make the best sword.

Since it was used as a building, the purity must have been low, but the repayment must have been considerable.

Did the saintess have that much money?

I have to ask this.

“Aria-sama, by any chance. How much did you give Laysha-sama?”

At my question, Arya straightened her back and spoke confidently.

“Not much! About 3 months’ salary of a civil servant?”

..I gave less than I thought.

I looked at the temple again.

This is made with a government official’s 3-month supply?

Of course not.

It was at this moment that it was speculated that Laysha had received the money somewhere, or that she had saved the money.

Well, you can ask the next question.

As for where Laysha’s suspicious funds came from, it was a question that time would solve.

After looking around the outside of the temple, we headed inside.

“Welcome, brothers and sisters. Welcome to the temple.”

As soon as we entered, the priests at the entrance greeted us.

Perhaps they have just passed the adult stage, they looked quite young with skin without a single blemish.

While I was immersed in such thoughts, they reached out their hands toward me.

Should we shake hands?

It was the first handshake I received after coming to another world.

“Oh, nice to meet you.”

I took the priest’s hand and shook it up and down.

The priest’s expression didn’t look so good.

“…”

The expression of a forced smile and trembling lips conveyed the meaning of ‘what are you doing right now?’.

This wasn’t it.

Seeing my ridiculous appearance, Sianna slapped my waist with her elbow and said,

“Money, money”

Ah.

If that’s the case, I’ll tell you sooner.

I feel embarrassed for nothing.

I took money out of my pocket and handed him 4000 coins, 1000 coins per person.

“Welcome! Brother, why are you here?”

As soon as he handed it over, the corner of the priest’s mouth ascended to heaven.

Is that a pro? It was a skill that I couldn’t copy.

I decided to tell him the purpose of coming to the temple.

I came to meet the saintess.

I saw the face of a nearby hero and asked him for guidance.

Then the priest held out his hand to me again.

“Meeting the saintess is quite expensive..”

…This was a capitalist society that was worse than outside.
