What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 71



Chapter 70

Chapter 70.

After returning from the space Sarah created. The atmosphere of the meal with her party was quite cold.

“So, you’ve been to the deep end?”

The party was intrigued by ‘I saw a light deep in the forest’, and we casually said that we had lost our way without even knowing it.

This is where Sera kidnapped me, and I stayed with her for about four days. If so, it was an excuse that I thought deeply about the fear that the party of warriors would disintegrate again.

Eren questioned the story.

“Then what is that cabin? She said the princess appeared suddenly.”

Could it be that the princess was stupid and misunderstood? Including the words spat out in a low voice, Eren sent a sharp point.

‘I’m sorry, Arya..’

I’m sorry here, but Arya had to be an idiot.

“It was originally there. I was surprised to see it too”

There were traces of someone using it inside, and someone seems to be living near the land of monsters. Leaving a conclusion.

I was crushed by Arya’s comment that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

“Oh… No, obviously suddenly…”

“It’s noisy, princess.”

Arya tried to protest my words, but Shiana’s sharp point made her opinion ignored. Siana’s eyes were fixed on me.

‘..Why are you staring at me like that..?’

I didn’t understand Siana’s intense gaze, but in the end, it helped me, so I decided to just move on.

“I’m just simply lost. I’m not a kid, so what are you so worried about?”

No matter how you think about it, they worry too much. I heard that it was about 40 minutes. Even though I was hurt, I didn’t want to worry too much about that kind of thing.

“Then don’t worry…”

Angry from being attacked by party members, Arya got up from her meal and headed to her tent. She must have been upset that she was being treated as a strange person.

She was a quick-tempered woman anyway, so it was rather good that she went into her bed.

“First of all, I have to work harder tomorrow. Let’s go to bed early.”

The news that the demon king was resurrected became somewhat of a fait accompli at the party.

Therefore, there is only one action we need to take. To reach the castle of Demon King without getting hurt as much as possible. In order to achieve this, sufficient rest is essential.

So we headed to the location, one by one, in the tents we had prepared, looking for our own beds.

“Wait a minute.”

The moment I try to find my tent and enter it. I heard Eren’s voice.

“What’s up, Eren?”

I pulled her face back out of her tent and looked at her.

Eren looks at me with a sad face. She looked the same as her expression before heading to her forest.

‘Beware Sarah’

From noble mtl dot com

A sudden action in the forest. As expected, Eren must have sensed Sera’s strange behavior. She said she had to be careful with Sarah.

Eren’s mouth opened, and I heard her voice ringing softly.

“Did nothing happen in the woods…?”

Looking over my body with red eyes, she asked what had happened to me.

Did Eren know what happened to me and ask to confirm? Or are you asking because you really don’t know? It was something I didn’t know.

I told her right off the bat.

“Nothing happened.”

“..Okay. Then have a good night’s sleep sir.”

Nothing happened. At my firm answer, Eren nodded her head knowingly, turned around behind her, and walked towards her bed.

‘Something’s wrong…’

The ending wasn’t always good when it came to feeling this way. But what can I do? My situation, which has already fallen, is like this. The only corner I believed in was the truth of the demon king.

If the saintess who spoke to me is a lie, that’s it. What if it’s true? After defeating the Demon King. All I had to do was return the warrior party members.

Isn’t that a simple and clear conclusion?

Of course, if it were the former, I wouldn’t have a peaceful life. That was also the karma I had to deal with.

“Please wish me luck.”

If there is a god, he will answer my prayers. I left a single prayer and extinguished the light of the bonfire that was illuminating us.

‘..It’s dark’

That’s how the first night of the warriors with the dream of re-subjugating the demon lord passed.

•••

“..Suspicious”

It was a dark night when everyone fell asleep.

A small light was leaking from Eren’s tent.

She had her own interpretation of her current state by looking at her work in the woods and her behavior at her meal.

“The atmosphere has changed.”

One of the requirements of the party leader. Know the mood of the party at all times, and intervene if you think a dispute is about to arise. It was one of her rules as a party leader for many years.

Since her departure, Eren has found some seeds of discord.

First, Sera.

The girl I hadn’t seen in a long time was definitely not insane. Not only does she kill people easily, but her obsession with her teacher has gone beyond a certain level.

What will happen to Sera’s capriciousness? It came to an easy conclusion Eren thought.

‘Of course, I’ll bother the teacher.’

Without realizing that it is bullying. They will use and wield their emotions only for their own ends. That was the Sera that Eren had judged.

When I first lost my spirit in the forest, I thought, ‘Something has happened’. What was expected That’s it.

But it happened. It didn’t happen with the teacher. Conversely, it happened with Sarah.

Sarah doesn’t say anything during mealtime. Sera avoids the seat as if it is uncomfortable. She seemed to feel a bit ashamed.

‘What is it? What happened?’

Did Sera fall for her tricks instead? She didn’t understand, but Eren, who didn’t understand, went to Lenny and she decided to ask what had happened.

‘Nothing happened’

False.

There was a distinctly false sound in those words. It was an easy way for Eren to always look at Lenny, even if she didn’t have to use the holy sword.

‘Teacher, if there’s anything wrong, just cut it out and tell me.’

It’s normal for him to ask back, ‘What happened?’ She told him that something had happened to Sarah during that short time.

I’m curious.

I am curious about everything that happened to the teacher.

Why wasn’t I there? Feeling sorry for Eren, she turned off the light in the tent.

“Because two are better than one…”

Eren got up from her seat and headed outside.

Cold night air. As it penetrated her skin, Eren’s body temperature dropped slightly.

Let’s wait for a while.

Eren moved toward someone who would raise her body temperature away from her self.

ㅡ Swoop..

He opened someone’s tent and entered, warm air greeted Eren.

“As expected, this seat is the best..”

Eren lay next to her soundly asleep Lenny and she began to warm her own body temperature, using him as a stove.

“You’re cold too, right?”

Of course it must be cold. It’s a night like this

Eren fell asleep and she started interpreting Lenny’s mind, who couldn’t say anything.

I wonder if Lenny actually felt the cold or the heat. It couldn’t be revealed until it came out of Lenny’s mouth.

“When I wake up in the morning, nothing will happen.”

ㅡ Hee hee..

Eren smiled and lay down next to Lenny and went to sleep. As if it wouldn’t matter if he woke up. Happiness bloomed on her face.

•••

“What is this?”

The next morning, I felt a slight warmth next to me. Did I sleep without turning off the light? A thought crossed my mind, but it wasn’t.

ㅡ Reassuringly.

Eren is sound asleep and breathing like a chick. For some reason, she was sleeping next to me.

I guess I didn’t wake up. You’re still asleep

Falling into such an illusion, I slapped my cheeks with the palms of my hands.

ㅡ Slap.

If Eren could have broken it, she didn’t force her cheeks and palms together. It gave me the pain of reality.

“It’s not a dream…”

Then why is she here? Bugs coming out of the tent? The answer is no. Eren was a warrior with the skills to cut an insect into 5 parts.

So, is it too cold to be alone? No. Since the warrior’s body was well-trained, he would not get cold if he was young.

It would be different if the heart was cold. Loneliness was something even a warrior could not help.

I decided to get up before the other kids got up to see the confusion.

If this is caught by Siana, Aria, and Sera. That, of course, could lead to the dissolution of the warrior party. It was a lightning bolt in my situation where I had to confirm the identity of the demon king.

The early morning that welcomed me out of the tent. The grass soaked in tears at dawn was soaked with water droplets.

“This will be the last time..”

The land of demons is barren. As for grass, dry grasses covered the ground. The tree also has no leaves, so only the branches remain bare.

A phenomenon in which nature is destroyed because the demon lord absorbed all of the power. It was one of the reasons the world wanted to subdue the demon king, and it was erosion that had to be prevented even in the situation of the warrior and myself who wanted peace.

While I was immersed in such thoughts. In one tent, someone stuck out his face.

“..Good morning”

As if she had just woken up, Laysha peeked out of the tent with her tousled hair. Laysha’s appearance was unexpected to me.

“Are you up early?”

“Yes.. I have to pray from morning..”

Are you praying even if your arms are out of shape? Apparently, Laysha was a saint by nature.

‘Except for being obsessed with money.’

This was the part I thought I couldn’t help it.

Laysha gave me a sudden proposal.

“If you have time, would you like to pray with me?”

“Huh?”

Pray.

Laysha is looking forward with her golden eyes sparkling. Her eyes were those of a temple.

“Well, let’s do it together…”

I didn’t like it. It would be even more embarrassing to watch Laysha praying, so she decided to join her in prayer.

“Oh, then wait a minute!”

Laysha left only those words, and she disappeared back into the tent.

What kind of prayer is this?

Half expectation, half doubt.

How will Laysha’s prayer, whose only purpose is money, come true?

With such feeble anticipation, the money-mad saint’s morning worship went on track.
