Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

26 – #26. Herin (1)

I forgot.

Hedy Marigold.

The heroine is practicing swordsmanship to become a sword master, but happens to meet the main character of the story, Cain, at the academy.

The main character, Cain, is a swordsman genius.

Hedy was drawn to his strength, and at first she approached him with the intention of taking a lot from him, but eventually, as time passed, she came to embrace her love for him.

She was extremely tired of her man, and from then on, she started using the etiquette she had learned from her family.

Trimming her hair.

You put on makeup, decorate yourself, and try to impress Cain.

In the process, as a pledge, Hedy abandons her family, which she had always resented, and changes her name.

That is ‘Herin’, who abandoned the family name Marigold.

So her people actually called her Her Herin and unified her.

… It’s all because of this.

She was oblivious because of this.

The name ‘Herin’ was so familiar that I completely forgot that she was originally named Hedy.

Also, I didn’t know much about her because it was a time when she wasn’t going around dressing up. Isn’t there really a difference between a woman before and after her transformation? .

It was worth not knowing.

But I finally realized that Hedy had seen and imitated my swordsmanship.

Herin has an excellent talent for absorbing sword techniques.

Going one step further, it’s also important that I wasn’t interested in the heroine system.

I was only interested in leveling up and increasing stats, but I couldn’t help but read the heroine’s narrative roughly.

“Ugh….”

“… ….”

The Twilight Queen thought as she looked down at her moaning body as she collapsed next to her body.

It was a real accident.

I became involved in the heroine’s narrative.

This is a story that should have been left alone.

The variable called me intervened and created a connection that did not exist between her and me.

Because of this, she would have had to awaken in the nick of time and catch the Twilight Queen on her own….

I was seriously injured without even being able to wake up.

… Maybe it’s because of me.

I took out the magic stone I had finally remembered from my pocket.

A magic stone shining in blue light. The magic stone I mined by sucking up my magical power.

This is not a magic stone for users.

This magic stone is shaped like a small crystal with a blue glow and contains blue mana.

It was a unique item exclusively for the heroine.

*

“Cough!”

She collapsed in pain and coughed up blood.

We need to find it quickly.

If you’re involved anyway, shouldn’t people be saved?

I diligently rummaged through the insides of Twilight Queen’s body.

And soon I found it.

‘… Also.’

A jet-black shiny sphere.

It was Naedan.

‘Normally, a spirit-level demon possesses it within its body…’ .’

Sometimes, there is a low probability that it can be found in the body of a mid-level demon beast that has lived for a long time.

… I knew that Naedan would be inside this Twilight Queen’s body.

Because….

‘Because this is a fish farm intentionally created to make inner eggs.’

More details later.

I pulled Naedan out of the intestines.

Then she approached the woman who was still in pain and said,

“Hey!”

“Ugh, ugh…” .”

I lifted her up with both hands and made her sit up.

“Deep breath. Take a deep breath! And….”

“… Ugh.”

She continued to speak as she placed the inner altar in her hand.

“Eat. I have to eat this and meditate. “Otherwise you will die!”

“… ….”

As if she understood what I said, her hand trembled and she swallowed with difficulty the herbal medicine she was holding in her hand.

-Gulp.

And that moment.

“…… !”

She opens her eyes wide.

Immediately, I began to feel pain while clutching my dantian.

“Kaaak-!!”

“Keep your head straight! If you lose your mind there, it’s over! “Go on and meditate!”

She forced herself to bear her pain and placed both her hands on her legs.

And then I started meditating.

“… ….”

-Shuuu….

Seeing her closing her eyes and entering into her meditation, I only then heard her sigh.

Her frowning expression changes to expressionless.

… Did you put out the fire in a hurry?

That Naedan is a Naedan that quickly promotes the overall growth of the body.

In the aftermath, recovering from the wounds around the Danjeon would not be a task.

However, because the effect is explosive in an instant, if you do not meditate, you may go into shock and die.

Now that she has started meditating, there is almost no chance of her dying.

“Whoa…” .”

I’m already at level 3 or higher anyway, so it has little effect, so it’s unnecessary.

It wasn’t a waste.

… I took out the magic stone I had taken out earlier and tried it again.

A magic stone shaped like an ice crystal with a subtle blue glow.

As I said before, this is a unique item.

Originally, in the story, Hedy catches the Twilight Queen and discovers the magic stone only at the end….

I discovered it first.

It absorbed my magical power and became a magic stone that belonged exclusively to me and could not be used by anyone but me.

The effect is that it can contain or manipulate magical power, so it can be quite useful if refined into a weapon. That’s how I know it.

I didn’t feel guilty or anything.

Anyway, the person who discovered it first is the owner. I didn’t really steal it, I got it legally.

I glanced at Hedy, who was still sweating and concentrating on meditation.

“… ….”

I was slightly stung, but what can I do?

According to the story, she is a talented person who will become a sword master.

I have never heard of a narrative that this magic stone is directly related. So nothing much will happen.

And it is I who need this magic stone.

… In order to survive in this world, I had to gain something and become strong.

I have to prepare for the worst, such as when Cain recognizes me and comes to take revenge.

So this magic stone was a more suitable item for me.

I will put to good use what I have already gained.

.

.

.

After completing meditation and regaining her complexion, Hedy felt a change in her body.

It has become lighter. Of course, since she consumed Neidan when her realm was low, the effects would definitely be felt.

She soon finished understanding the state of her body and suddenly asked me.

“… “Who the hell are you?”

Who am I?

This is probably not a philosophical question about existence.

But that didn’t mean I understood the intention of the question.

As I continued to wonder, she spoke again as if she was frustrated.

“What are you doing? “Are you a mid-year student at the academy?”

I shook my head.

“No.”

“No… ? If a kid like you was taking the same lecture, there’s no way I wouldn’t have known….”

It’s natural not to notice. It’s difficult to notice.

Because your identity is being washed.

I don’t like being caught, and I don’t like standing out.

That’s why meeting Hedy in this labyrinth was embarrassing.

“Because I like to live quietly from the beginning.”

“What is the state like? “I heard you were using an auror earlier.”

“3 Stars.”

It’s not accurate, though.

“3 Stars… ?!”

She looks surprised.

For our age group, 3 stars can feel high.

However, looking at it objectively, I don’t think it is very high.

The main character, Cain, enters the Seven Stars at the age of sixteen, and receives the imprint of her warrior from heaven.

That’s why I’m at an average level in the world.

Hedy must have also eaten Naedan and reached the final stage of 2 stars.

I think you just need to grow to the point where you won’t be killed somewhere.

“… “I don’t think my level is particularly high.”

“… ….”

I felt Hedy’s eyes looking at me curiously.

I tried my best to avoid her gaze.

Although she somehow naturally became involved with Hedy, Hedy later became attached to Cain as Herrin.

Since you saved my life, there would be no good in being involved with him anymore.

This is an area where you can keep your distance from now on.

I stood up.

“First of all… Once you’ve recovered, take the Twilight Queen’s body parts and head out. “We have to find a way out of this labyrinth before it’s too late.”

Hedy nods in agreement.

So we moved and left the cave.

I handed some beef jerky to Hedy from the bag I had packed.

I also walked with Hedy and searched the cave, chewing beef jerky.

‘The escape magic stone must be somewhere.’

This is an artificially created labyrinth.

An artificially created dungeon. It is an artificially created fish farm to produce Yeongdan.

So, if there is an entrance, there will also be an exit.

Even if you have defeated the final boss of this labyrinth, Twilight Queen, there are still a large group of Big Spiders left, so it is safe to find them as quickly as possible.

After finding it, we need to gather the rest of the party members, including Victor, Zeke, and Monaca, and escape.

We kept walking.

I felt like I had walked for about an hour.

“Wait a minute.”

“…… ?”

I stopped Hedy who was following me.

I hear something.

The sound of footsteps…. It’s a little different from Big Spider’s.

What more demons are there?

Soon, the sound of footsteps gets closer.

I calmly raised my sword and took a stance.

In the darkness of the road across the street, a shape is gradually revealed.

It was about time it became fully visible.

“… ! Kid?!”

Soon, someone appeared and spoke as if they recognized me.

I also gathered my shocked heart when I saw him.

It’s nice to see it in this situation.

“… Mr. Zeke?”

“Little one! The kid is right! Ha ha ha… !”

It was Zeke.

As he approached, Hedy asked me with a puzzled expression.

“Do you know someone?”

I nodded and briefly explained that I was a party member who had been transferred here.

“You are alive. Mr. Zeke.”

“Yes, that’s right! Rather, a kid! I need your help… !”

Zeek’s behavior, as he spoke to me, seemed to be messy.

Has he also experienced many hardships in this labyrinth?

The armor was broken here and there and dirty, and the expression on his face seemed urgent.

“What’s going on?”

“The magic stone… ! “I found the escape magic stone!!”

“…… !”

You found the escape magic stone?

It was good news.

Hedy also seemed surprised by Zeke’s words.

“Where is it?!”

“I will guide you. From what I could see, it seemed like it had a structure that wouldn’t work unless magical power was poured into it! So, little one, I need your help!”

At that time, I had a general idea.

This person was trying to escape alone, but his magic stone didn’t work, so he went looking for me.

Although I was a little upset, I reluctantly nodded and told him.

“Please guide me.”

Zeek started to lead, and we followed him.

*

Several Big Spider corpses were lying around.

I was silent as I watched that scene.

The atmosphere becomes cold and the surroundings become quiet for a moment.

Hedy looked confused, not knowing why I was doing this.

… In the center of the corpse, a person had collapsed.

He didn’t even move, as if he was already dead.

A broken greatsword was seen next to it.

I approached the person in front of me who was dead and a corpse.

As expected, I tried to check for a pulse, but it seemed hopeless as he had been dead for a long time.

I turned around and glared at Zeke.

And said.

“… “How did this happen?”

“… ….”

He didn’t answer.

I just stood there and watched this situation in silence.
