What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 69



Chapter 68

Chapter 68.

“It’s strange..?”

I was going back the way I came to go back to where Arya and I were from the forest.

If you go forward, you will arrive. I’m just following the way I came, but what could happen?

I feel like the path I’ve passed is repeating itself. Obviously, even though my legs were tired after walking for quite a long time, I couldn’t see any light.

‘This is like…’

A confident thought passed through my head, as if I would never be able to reach it no matter how hard I ran towards it.

Sarah questioned my confused expression.

“What’s wrong? You don’t look good.”

Is Sera not understanding this situation? The fact that the further you go to your destination, the farther away you are. Her expression looked okay.

Just in case, I decided to tell Sera about this situation.

“Doesn’t it seem like the roads I keep repeating? Even after walking for a long time, I feel like I’m getting too far from the base..”

“Hmm… I’m not sure…”

Sera, who frowned and nodded her head as if she didn’t know, didn’t seem to have any doubts about the current situation.

‘So, am I wrong?’

There were two ways to explain the current situation.

First of all, it can be sorted out with I went crazy and lost my sense of direction. And Sera is lying.

If you look at it with common sense, you can see that the person on the side of repeating the same path is crazy.

But this is a world where magic lives. What if someone used magic to trap us in this space? It was a well-explained situation.

‘Then, who used this magic…’

I can’t use magic, so of course I’m excluded. The culprit is narrowed down to Sera and a third being.

‘Let’s stay still…’

Even if I found out the culprit, I didn’t have the ability to overcome this situation, so the action I had to take now was decided.

“..Sorry, I must have misunderstood. Let’s go again.”

I moved toward the direction of the base again. While being as vigilant as possible against Sera, who is suspected of being the culprit of the current situation. Say it carefully

“…”

Sarah followed Lenny and took a light step toward a place without a destination.

‘I can never send it to other kids.’

If you don’t want me, you’ll never get what you want.

Sera, the protagonist of the incident, silently followed Lenny’s back with a cold gaze down.

•••

“Lenny..!!”

Aria’s voice calling Lenny echoed through the forest. How loud it was The sleeping birds fled toward the sky.

ㅡ Paddeuk..!

“Where the hell are you…”

Even with such a loud sound, all you can hear is the flapping of the bird’s wings. Lenny’s response did not come.

It’s been almost 40 minutes since Lenny searched the north. For some reason, there was no trace of him.

No way…

Passing anxiety. Will I lose Lenny again? A small seed of insecurity grew in Arya’s heart.

“I can’t miss Lenny again”

To have that experience again? Never. It can’t be. Arya didn’t want to relive her experience of missing Lennie with her eyes open.

Arya looked at his tracks with a faster movement than before.

ㅡPasseuk..

“Lenny?”

Aria looked away at the sound of the blades of grass shaking. It was more like a human sound than a sound that was shaken by the wind.

‘Did you hear my voice?’

Arya rushed in the direction of her sound with a weak anticipation.

“Lenny..!!”

As much as she desperately sought it, her feelings for him were also intensified, so Arya did not even assume that the target was another person.

ㅡPasseuk..

The identity of the invisible person. In the swaying grass, the figure who revealed her true identity saw Arya approaching and let out her horrified screams.

“Kyaaah..!”

“Huh?”

Aria runs into her arms with momentum. However, after confirming her target, only one embarrassing word escaped from her mouth.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Why are you there…!’

Since she called Lenny from the forest, it must have been Aria’s mistake to think that the person approaching her was Lenny. A dark-haired woman stood in her eyes as she collapsed as she ran at full speed and carried her weight.

‘Heroes don’t help at all..!’

With that thought in mind, Arya fell into a dive towards the bottom of her body.

ㅡQuaang..!

“What..What is this guy, he came alone and fell down..”

Maybe it’s because she was a famous warrior. Eren, who easily avoided her aria’s rush, looked at her floor and her aria, which became one body, with her curious eyes.

‘It must be painful…’

A little sympathy. Her needlessly pitiful slumped Aria sat on her floor, holding her sore knees with an “Ahhhhh..” Sound. Eren let out a sigh of relief at the fact that she was no longer the princess.

Arya, who didn’t like Eren’s attitude, grabbed her injured knee and shouted at Eren.

“Hey! If you think someone is about to fall, shouldn’t you catch them? You’re a warrior!”

Isn’t helping civilians a hero’s job? It’s also upsetting that the identity of her voice isn’t Lenny, but Aria, who overlaid on her injuries, expressed her feelings of injustice to the mischievous Eren.

“Ha, he said he hated warriors at one point. Now you call him a hero? You look like a member of the imperial family.”

“Wh..What..? Did you just say everything..?”

Laughing, Eren responded to her aria. Her words were obviously sarcastic towards Arya.

The story of the royal family is no different from Arya’s wrath. She cursed the blood of the imperial family more than anyone else, so it was unbearable to say that she resembled them.

“…”

Their atmosphere quickly turned cold. Shall we just fight here? Thoughts like that ran through their heads, but there was something far more important to them than pride.

“This is not the time…”

Finding the missing Lenny. Realizing that fact, Arya gave up staring at Eren. Aria, who left after her, sounded her warning to Eren before leaving.

“You, I’ll take care of you this time. See you later, for real..”

“Really, what”

Kill it. Aria wanted to say, but she wasn’t stupid enough to not know the hero’s power.

“Jin.. Really scolds me..!”

At the same time as she said that she would punish her, Aria quickly hid her body somewhere in the woods. Is that a warning..? Eren looked in the direction she disappeared with her puzzled expression.

“..So”

Eren spat out a small word towards where she had disappeared and moved her body to find her invisible Lenny.

“Where did you go, sir..”

Leni’s movements are not caught by the hero’s senses. He showed no sign of him or Sera.

As if…

It seemed that only they had been moved to a different location.

•••

“Haa..”

How many hours has it been? My legs were no longer out of my will due to the long accumulated fatigue.

A lot of information was obtained during that time.

First of all, no matter how much you walk, you will never arrive at your destination.

Three hours must have passed in terms of experience. No matter how many times you walk, only the deep forest repeats itself.

I was able to realize that the forest repeats itself with the branches dropped on the ground.

Then, who the hell is that? Did you do something like this

That was also easy to figure out.

“Why don’t you give up and take a break, sir?”

“..Sera”

I turned around at the sound of Sera’s voice as she walked behind me.

Sarah was staring into my eyes with only her eyes smiling.

I spoke to her calmly.

“Didn’t you say you would catch the devil?”

“It used to be…But not now.”

Sarah said in a cold voice that she had changed her mind. What made her change her mind? As of now, I couldn’t figure it out.

“So, you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Leaving the other kids alone?”

“That’s nice too. There are a lot of trees, but it would be nice to build a house to live in.”

ㅡ clap clap clap

Sera applauded for telling me a good idea. She said it with a mixture of compliments, but she wasn’t in a good mood.

‘How do I do this…’

First of all, I thought it was fortunate that it wasn’t the devil’s trick.

If she had to fight in a scattered state, it was because there was a high probability that Ariana Raysha, who was not good at fighting, would endanger her.

I looked around to find a way out of the current situation.

A forest lined with dense trees. Sera must have really liked what I just said to her, and she started building the foundations of her house one by one.

‘Of course that’s what I need to know, right?’

Her change of heart. Sit on the ground and enjoy the cool breeze coming through the trees. It brushed my cheek, and I was lost in thought.

Why did she change her mind? It didn’t take long for the answer to come out.

‘You fool…’

Obviously the problem was with me. No matter how thin the lines of emotion are, Sera is still human. What did I answer to her confession that such an inexperienced woman mustered up her courage to say?

‘Let’s talk later.’

After resting my body for several years, it seems that even my head has taken a break. As long as she brought her up, it’s only natural that we solve it on the spot. I was ashamed of myself for being foolish.

Now that you know what caused her, go and apologize to her. That’s right as a human duty.

I approached Sera, who was working hard at building a house using magic, and handed her an apology.

“Sera, I…”

ㅡ…

Lenny’s voice continued for a long time. He apologized to Sarah for what he had done wrong, blaming it without excuse.

I wonder if Lenny’s sincerity that lasted for such a long time worked. Sarah opened her mouth and spoke to Lenny.

“Thank you for your apologies, butler.”

The truth always works. Sarah thanked Lenny with a warm smile.

I’m glad you accepted my apology. Will this repeating forest end now? Lenny’s happy thoughts. It was a foolish idea.

“But, it’s already too late. If we get out of here, we’ll go back to them again, right?”

“Huh..?”

Sera’s warmth came and went easily, like autumn.

“I can’t see that.”

Water that has been spilled cannot be collected again. Sarah’s hardened expression embraced the cold winter.
