What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 67



Chapter 66

Chapter 66.

A party of warriors who had a dramatic reunion at the temple.

They were on a new journey to defeat the resurrected demon king.

A rattling carriage.

Of course, the road to the land of demons was not maintained.

Every time the wheel of the wagon turned, small stones obstructed the front.

ㅡ Rumbling. Rattle.

After quite a while like that. I heard someone’s voice in my ears as I held the horse’s reins.

“Lenina, motion sickness..”

Aria.

Is this the first time I’ve experienced such a rough road with the body of a princess?

Aria, who had been hit and run because of her shaky body, was complaining of dizziness.

I turned around and asked Arya.

“Are you serious?”

“City.. Might be severe..”

Arya was covering her mouth as if she was going to spit something out at any moment.

‘Should I take a break…’

When I looked at the map, I had to go a little further to find a good place to rest. That means that. It was the voice that Arya had to exert more strength.

This is a big deal. To think that she had to go further with Aria, who seemed like she was going to vomit her stomach at any moment. I had only one thing to say to her aria.

“Be patient, fighting..!”

“Okay… Uh…”

Feels like looking for a rest stop on the highway just because you need a bathroom. This is more tense than I thought. It was the moment when I understood my father on the holiday.

‘Is it only Arya?’

I also asked about the other party’s condition just in case.

“Is everyone else okay?”

“It’s okay, sir. Unlike others, I’m not weak…”

Eren smiled and said she was fine. She had lived as a warrior for a long time, so she seemed familiar with these rough carriage roads.

“We are fine too”

Similarly, Shiana and Laysha didn’t seem to have any damage when the wagon was shaking.

There is only one expected patient.

A voice came from beside me as I was calming down.

“I think I’m dizzy too. Butler…”

Sarah is sitting next to the driver’s seat and looking at me. She had her hand on her forehead as if complaining of her dizziness.

“..Sickness, right?”

“Yes.. I think so..”

Maybe something else. If you get motion sickness, you get motion sickness. I wonder if she is a patient in the true sense of the word.

“Woo-wook…”

In Arya’s situation, hearing such weak voices mixed with Sera’s lies, it only made her nauseous.

“Hold on, I think I’ll come out too…”

Lay Sha put her hand on Arya’s back and looked at Sera. She was sitting in the driver’s seat, looking only at her butler.

A smirk seems to have relieved the pain of two years. It was hard to believe that she was the same person who had harmed her just a few days ago.

A thought flashed through Laysha’s head as to whether Sera, who easily kills people, could be left like that.

“Well, you’ll figure it out.”

Laysha had no intention of joining their love front. As long as she didn’t touch her own assets, she had nothing to do with Leisha, so her purpose of this trip was to capture only her demon king.

‘How can I love like that?’

Love.

Unable to understand her feelings, Laysha just took a step back and looked at them with her gold in her hand.

“I had a really hard time while the butler was gone.”

Sera appealed to me for empathy with her teary eyes, saying ‘I was having a hard time’. Hey, when did you get so much emotional expression? It was quite a new look to me.

‘Well, it’s worth changing in two years.’

Has it changed?

It’s more accurate to say that I’ve grown up.

What is certain is that compared to Sera of the past and Sera of today, they are different.

Whether that means a good thing. I don’t know if it means bad. In terms of atmosphere, she has made significant changes.

In the old days, Sera’s eyes felt apathy. Emotions seemed to be non-existent in her usual appearance even after the time when emotions began to flourish.

Now then?

There has been a change.

‘Feels full of emotions?’

Sera seemed to be full of emotions rather than emotionless eyes. I didn’t know what kind of emotion it was, but it was controlling Sera’s mood.

I have to say that she looks even sadder with the tear marks on the sides of her eyes. I couldn’t quite explain it, but it seemed that something had changed in her.

‘That would have to be a good change…’

I wish she had undergone just as much change as Eren, but judging from her appearance in the temple, such expectations seemed difficult.

‘How did you kill people so easily?’

A puddle bloomed on the floor of the temple

Of course it must have been human blood. Sarah said as if nothing had happened even though she was doing that.

The case where Sera becomes a problem is after the decisive battle with the Demon King. Although she won’t cause trouble as long as she goes for the demon lord. After that? It was something she couldn’t even imagine.

‘How can I solve this…’

In the case of Laysha, let’s assume that if you give her money, she won’t go crazy and stay still. Although she will eat people on her back sometimes.

So, Sera?

How can I make Sera peaceful?

The key to dispel Sera’s madness. It wasn’t as simple as Laysha’s case.

“The butler…?”

“Uhh, I must have dozed off for a while. What did you say?”

Sarah didn’t answer for a while and started talking to me. For now, let’s focus on the present.

I had a guessed key, but I decided to put that thought away for now.

Sarah didn’t seem to like me for not listening to her.

“..Really?”

“That…Sorry…”

It was my fault for not paying attention when people were talking, so I apologized to Sarah. Judging by the strength in her cheeks, she looked slightly pouty.

I hope it stays like that for tens of seconds. Sarah began to speak in a different tone than expected.

“It’s okay, maybe you can’t hear it”

Sera smiles and says it’s okay. In terms of the atmosphere, isn’t it right to get angry at this point? It was Sera’s behavior that went far beyond expectations.

‘I’m not angry. Thank god’

It was fortunate that Sera, who wasn’t strange even if she went on a rampage here, showed her such a calm side.

It was at that moment that she let out a sigh of relief at Sera’s calm behavior.

“You just need to remember my promise.”

Promise..?

Did I make her promise to her? Sera seemed to notice her doubt passing over my face.

“Promise..Don’t remember..?”

The purple eyes shimmered and looked at me. What did Sarah and I promise? Dangerous situation. I decided to take a look around.

“Of course I remember. How could I forget”

A lie that came without even thinking about it. Maybe it was because the peace of the world depended on it, so it was easy to cover it up.

I wonder if the sincerity of my lies worked? Sarah’s gloomy expression quickly eased.

“Right? You can’t forget..? I’ve been waiting for years…”

“That…Then, of course I remember”

That’s how I tried to cover up the promise I made with Sera. Wouldn’t it be nice if Sarah was satisfied with the words that she remembered? Rationalizing that, she only increased the speed of her wagon for Aria’s sake.

ㅡ Hee hee…

The horse cried bitterly.

•••

“I’m going to sleep here today”

From noble mtl dot com

It was too early to talk about sleeping, but when I saw Arya’s speed at adapting to the carriage, it seemed like the correct answer was to take it easy today.

“L.. Lenny.. I…Really…!?”

Aria looked at Lenny with a bright face. A face like she’s been saved from hell. Arya looked like the wagon was in pain.

“It’s all good..”

Aria is relieved at my words as she nods in agreement.

There were people who expressed dissatisfaction with this situation.

“Tsk, if you’re going to do that, just stay at home. Why did you follow me…”

“What.. What..!?”

It was Shiana who expressed her displeasure. She couldn’t see where her maid clothes had gone.

“Time is running out. This is a lump of luggage.”

Contrary to her attitude at home, Shia attacked Arya quite recklessly. Master, was it all smoke? In the shocking situation, I didn’t think to stop them.

“You.. What kind of habit do you talk to the owner..”

“Who is my master? My master is only Lenny.”

Siana shows off a mischievous laugh. She had no intention of serving Arya as her master from the beginning.

“I used to be a maid to stay attached to her house. You don’t have to do that anymore, do you?”

The situation has changed now.

Siana’s judgment was like this.

Isn’t it the hero and the party that have the most influence in the party right now? Now that the influence towards battle is high. Shiana decided that she didn’t need to be a maid.

“It’s true that the devil’s attack was delayed because of you. You didn’t have to come.”

“Ugh…”

Shiana continued her momentum and attacked Arya. Arya was well aware of that fact.

‘Now, I have to stop…?’

It wasn’t good for Aria, who was dizzy from motion sickness, to be driven here.

“Everyone, don’t fight, look around. I’m going to sleep here tonight.”

She somehow intervened in the fight between the two, but Arya seemed to have some emotional troughs. I didn’t think these guys would get along with each other anyway, so the result was somewhat expected.

‘First, let’s look around’

Laysha is in the west, Eren is in the east, and Cyana is in the south. Sera and I are north.

By leaving Aria in poor condition at the base, we each decided to head each other and disperse for the search.

“Sir, wait a minute!”

I turned around when I heard a voice calling for me to leave to search.

“Eren?”

What did you call me to say? Eren’s eyes, who called me up, were slightly trembling.

Just like that, Eren’s dry lips opened her mouth.

“Sera, be careful. Something doesn’t feel right…”

..Although I am always careful. It was a moment when I thought that I should be more careful because Eren was talking about it.

“What do you enjoy talking about so much?”

Sera came back after packing her things and suddenly appeared behind us.

Surprised by that, Eren avoided her seat as much as possible as if nothing had happened.

“Then, shall we go in?”

A forest glowing red as the sun begins to set. With a feeling swallowing me, I stepped into the woods.
