What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 63



Chapter 62

Chapter 62.

After giving the priest more money, we were on our way to the saintess after him.

The money-chasing church, for sure, thought that this temple was not built for the poor.

“I’m asking just in case. May I ask what the purpose of your visit is?”

The guide priest asked us in a polite tone.

What did he come for? He had a twisted eye smile, just like the first time I saw him.

“..I just came to see a friend after a long time”

Unlike last time, in a formal way.

Because the conversation with Laysha was secretly infiltrated, Eren and the priest had never met each other.

“Friend..La”

The priest who blurted out the word friend was somehow unnatural.

Something uneasy, such an atmosphere lingered strangely.

When living in the imperial family, most of these people had a bad back. The mind that was wary of the priest began to rise.

I walked like that for tens of minutes.

The priest who was guiding me to the deepest room in the temple stopped walking.

“Here he is.”

At first sight, a dazzling visit.

Anyone would think that Laysha was here.

“..Here?”

I couldn’t believe it. When I asked again, the priest nodded.

Where did the money come from?

The question had no intention of disappearing.

“I will open it”

In case you don’t know, I will open the door.

The warrior Eren stepped forward and turned the shiny doorknob aside.

The door opens, and what catches your eye are the jewels reflected in the light.

The jewels placed in the saintess’s room were piercing my eyes.

‘Dazzling…’

It was difficult for me to open my eyes.

Are the other kids just like me? I wanted to, but it seemed that it wasn’t because of the sound of worrying about me.

“Lord..Master, are you okay..?”

Siana asked in bewilderment.

I didn’t know where she was, but I heard her and waved her hand in the direction she came from.

“It’s okay. My eyes hurt for a while..”

I realized why these eyes are like that.

Perhaps the aftereffects from the eye patch that exploded.

It seemed to have caused an abnormality in the retina where light was shining strongly.

‘If my eyes adapt, the pain in the eyes will be reduced’

It didn’t make sense that there were no sequelae, so I decided to just accept it.

The past is in the past, so the important thing to me now is Laysha’s condition.

“..Welcome, everyone”

I heard Laysha’s soft voice. I was blind, but I turned my head to look in that direction.

Golden wallpaper and golden hair are faintly visible.

Laysha was standing there in a faint shape.

“..It’s been a while”

Siana said in a low voice.

Laysha seemed to be dazzled at how different she was from Siana in the past.

“Huh..? Is that Siana..?”

Siana calmed down and calmed down.

That appearance was a situation that Lay Sha, who had been watching her for a long time, could not adapt to.

How can a person change like that?

Maybe it was magic, Laysha thought.

“But what is that like?”

Such a thought flashes through my mind, and what I have a question about is Siana’s outfit.

Wearing her apron, a black and white garment. This is like…

The lady-in-waiting.

I was acting like a maid.

As if Shiana had nothing to hide, she confidently answered Laysha.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

What’s wrong?

Sianna’s solid answer made Laysha think, ‘Am I wrong?’

“That…That’s a maid outfit…”

“Yes, the maid is happy”

A conversation between two people running on parallel lines.

Siana didn’t even seem to be aware of the problem.

She already thought of coming out, because she considered herself 100% a maid.

It seemed like it would take quite a long time to engage.

‘Ah, I can see it now’

Only then, I was able to regain my lost sight.

About 1 minute after intense light shines.

It took me a while to find my eyesight.

Seeing Laysha after a year has not changed much except for her arm wrapped in a bandage.

Small body, long golden hair.

Outwardly, it matched my past memories.

‘How did the inside change?’

Her heart is invisible from the outside.

Will it be rotten, or will it be kept intact?

The answer came just by looking around her saint’s room.

It seemed like it would be much faster to refill the jewels in the room than to remove them, in an interior lined with jewels.

The cause of this situation must be his poor childhood.

However, I felt that the current situation had crossed the line.

First of all, I decided to approach slowly.

“I heard about the goddess from Eren.”

“Oh…God? That’s not Goddess.”

Laysha resolutely corrects herself.

I was half sure that she was talking that way because of her religious beliefs.

That existence is a false existence wearing the mask of a goddess.

Laysha then began to speak.

“That… It’s not the goddess… It’s the devil rather than the goddess.

The remnants of the demon lord, his residual thoughts. She was wearing the mask of a goddess. Laysha was saying that.

“When we first killed the demon lord, he had been resurrected for less than a year and was powerless.”

The warriors arrived much earlier than expected.

Since the power of the demon king was still in the recovery phase, he was aware that fighting and winning against them would be a sure suicide.

Therefore, the Demon King did not choose to fight.

The demon king chose to run away.

It was said that it dragged our time until it was resurrected.

“The result is now, this state…?”

“..You can see that”

As if feeling the pain from the curse on her arm, Leysha gripped her bandage with her hands.

She was deceived into believing that she was a goddess, and the curse came because a person with deep faith acted against the doctrine.

“The Demon King is resurrected…”

Honestly, Eren was able to win at the level of fooling the demon lord.

She was too weak to deal with, and even her attacks were not threatening. It was only now that he realized that he had conserved his strength in order to escape.

But you can kill it again.

Since the hero was such an existence, Eren was confident in herself.

On the other hand, it’s different from Eren’s thoughts.

Leni’s insides burned.

‘The situation is more serious than I thought.’

Resurrection of the Demon King was something that did not appear even in the original novel.

‘Then, who is the goddess who sent me to another world…?’

From noble mtl dot com

In a situation where I didn’t know what was what, my head was confused.

At that moment, Aria asked me a question I had.

“By the way, why is the temple so gorgeous?”

Let’s say the devil is like that.

Isn’t that related to the capital of this mysterious temple?

Aria also wondered where the money came from.

Her sister was still a member of the imperial family.

At Arya’s sharp question, Laysha gave her a wry smile.

“..Are you curious? Where does the money come from?”

At that moment, a dangerous atmosphere from the priest appeared in Laysha as well.

It’s good if you don’t know, but you need to know.

‘No way, you’re not studying curses…?’

Laysha from the original story wiped out half of the people in the capital by maximizing the curse.

That nightmare could not be relived.

“I’m curious. Lady Laysha.”

“Hmm.. Really..? It’s good that it’s worship time.”

Well, if it’s all of you, it’s fine.

After Laysha said that, she opened the door and told me to follow her.

What on earth did she do at the temple, why did she have so much money?

We decided to go along with what was called her worship time.

In the meantime, feeling uneasy, Aria asked Eren.

“Hey, is your friend okay?”

“Hmm..Maybe..?”

To be honest, even Eren didn’t know.

As for Laysha, she always seemed benevolent on the outside, but she had no idea what she was thinking on the inside.

Fantastic obsession with money, obsession with jewelry.

I couldn’t say they were normal.

“But don’t worry, I will protect you.”

No matter what.

That will was conveyed to Arya as well, so she didn’t say anything more.

After passing dozens of sparkling pillars, we followed Laysha to the place where she stopped.

“This is the auditorium for prayer, people must be gathered already?”

When I listened closely, I could hear people talking from across the wall.

The saintess’ service time was thought to be a popular event that attracted quite a few people.

“Then, it’s worship time for me. First… If you look around, you’ll get an answer.”

Are you saying money comes out of worship?

That made no sense.

Praying, praising the goddess. Isn’t it worship that makes their inner world harder?

While I was bewildered by the inconsistent interpretation, Shiana tugged at my collar.

“What’s up?”

I turned around and looked at Sia. Something was wrong with her, and her complexion was white.

“Um… It’s a little strange over there…”

What’s wrong?

I didn’t understand, but I felt like I knew a little bit about her identity, which she said was strange.

Her big ears.

With the elf’s hearing, she must have heard what was happening inside.

At that moment, Eren opened the door to enter the auditorium.

Wow..!!

When the door opened, I heard people cheering.

I didn’t hear anything before opening it? How well is it soundproofed?

What came out of the cheers were strange words.

ㅡ The school principal saw me..!!

ㅡI believe it..! I believe..!!

For beings who believe in goddesses, the distorted expressions of people.

Among those people, the saintess Laysha was smiling at them.

“Welcome, followers.”

Laysha, smiling brightly, did not look like a benevolent saint.

A representative of the Goddess who came down to save people.

Laysha, the name of the leader, was there.
