chapter 41
41 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Journey (14) – Murder
To be honest, at this point I wonder if I’m an idiot.
That’s also true, because I handed over the hero’s blessing to this b*tch, and that’s what happened.
If I hadn’t handed over the hero’s blessing, wouldn’t it have been like this?
In the first place, all the fundamental responsibility lies with me, and in fact, isn’t I a worse person than the devil?
It wasn’t that I didn’t think about it for a second.
‘I would have known that he would be such an idiot.’
But honestly, it was no different than forcibly blaming me.
The root cause, no matter what anyone says, is with Raina.
I tried to work hard, but she couldn’t because Rina kicked me out of the party.
Calling this my fault, to be honest, made no difference.
Also, as Raina said before, she suddenly changed from a certain moment.
So it is very difficult for me to predict.
I also felt unfair in many ways.
If you really want to blame me for this, I want to ask the opposite.
About what the hell I should have been.
I gave the hero’s blessing to Laina for the efficiency of the party.
I was kicked out of the party really outrageously.
And even if they were kicked out, all of the warriors’ parties were already highly skilled.
The Demon King’s Army was almost on the verge of destruction.
It’s a very easy environment to win no matter who sees it, but I couldn’t pick up and eat one of them properly, so I created this situation.
Is it my fault at that point? Or is it Ryan’s fault?
If there’s a bastard who says it’s really my fault, I feel like I want to immerse him as it is.
I am not at fault.
“Hey. Why don’t you give me the other half?”
Anyway, I had no intention of continuing to blame and resent the past.
I had to deal with the situation somehow.
Because there was no one but me to take care of it.
I didn’t feel responsible.
Because I couldn’t just watch the human race perish.
And I thought that whatever I did with the Hero’s Blessing, it would be better than if Rina had the Hero’s Blessing.
Because of that, I wasn’t in the watermelon to urge Rina.
Give me the other half of the warrior’s blessing.
She held out her hand.
“…”
And of course, Raina didn’t give it.
After all, it wasn’t Lina that I was willing to give out.
If you were going to give me the other half because you asked for it in the first place, I wouldn’t have given you only half in the first place.
There was a high possibility that he would survive as it is.
I am annoyed in many ways.
‘I can’t really beat this.’
I just thought of defeating Rina on the spot and forcibly taking away her hero’s blessing.
It wasn’t that I could beat Raina 1:1.
If the two of us fight, it’s true that if I fight Raina, it’s a bit better, but in the end, Raina was stronger.
Actually, it’s a fact that Raina is the strongest person on the human side if you look at her fighting power alone.
I’d rather be robbed if I got into a fight.
It’s not like I don’t know that.
It was such a situation where there was no real answer.
“Ha… Really, why did it change like this?”
Looking at Laina, she let out a sigh.
In the past, even though I had an eccentric personality, I didn’t get so annoyed.
I wondered what the hell made Laina like this.
I was also very frustrated because of the changed Raina.
It’s not that I miss the days when I used to date Rina.
It’s just that the changed Raina is so strange.
What made Lina like this?
“Hey. Why are you like this?”
So I asked Rina about the reason.
Raina answered.
Lina’s answer was a bit shocking.
“You’re dead…”
“What?”
“You killed my mother… You killed my mother.”
What Rina said to me really shocked me.
Raina expressed her resentment by glaring at me fiercely with her expression on the verge of crying.
As if the eyes of the parents’ enemies are never light.
“What bullsh*t. You b*tch.”
But what the hell are you talking about?
I don’t know about Raina’s mother.
That’s right, she was a former knight of the warrior’s party.
She is me She was a former warrior.
And that was my teacher.
I had as much connection with her as Rina.
I liked her as much as Rina.
By the way.
I killed someone like that?
I’m not a psychopath, so why on earth would I kill someone like that?
I just had to yell at the real bullsh*t right now.
I was also blaming myself for how miserable I felt when Master died.
“It’s true that you died… It’s true that you killed…”
But it seemed that Raina was firmly suspicious of me right now.
Even when I said this, they didn’t think to listen to me at all.
She shot at me with even more resentment than before.
I tried to solve this misunderstanding of her by looking at her like that, but…
“If it were me… If I had been a hero at that time, her mother would not have died. She is a weak person like you. She is a warrior. Her mother is dead.”
Of course this stubborn b*tch couldn’t listen to me.
Raina ran out crying as it was.
As if she had nothing more to say to me, she ran out of here as if running away.
“I will never accept a guy like you. I will defeat the demon king. I am the hero who will succeed my mother.”
Anyway, just like that, Raina didn’t give me the other half of her warrior’s blessing.
But I could see why Rina was obsessed with her position as a warrior.
Was she thinking that?
“Haa. I’m dying of frustration.”
What the hell are you talking about? I thought.
Master just died in a fight with the Four Heavenly Kings. I thought.
Even so, it seemed like she thought that the reason Raina resented me was because I was weak.
She was blaming me for her death in battle with the Four Heavenly Kings.
Of course, I didn’t do anything wrong for letting Master die, but…
That said, it was quite unfair to put the blame on me for killing me.
‘It’s me… I didn’t do anything.’
For some reason, it felt like the puzzle was finally being put together.
About why Rina is so obsessed with the hero.
And why did you suddenly inform me of the breakup?
Everybody finally found out why Raina suddenly changed.
But isn’t it normal to be relieved of stuffiness?
But knowing that, I felt even more frustrated.
I was really quite annoyed.
I wish someone would know how I feel…
“Hey… Allan… Did you… Kill Rina’s mother?”
Instead of understanding your feelings, there was a poop cat who put firewood in the burning house.
I’m having such a hard time, but Mer is watching this with interest.
She was watching my current situation as if she were watching a morning drama.
Slap…!
“Hey, have you seen the sights? Do you want to look around? Can’t you figure out what the situation is?”
I didn’t like that cat, so I lightly slapped it on the butt with the scabbard I was holding.
I’m going to die of disquiet right now, but it was an act of earning a real hawk.
“Hee… I’m sorry, Mr. Alan.”
It seems that my beating wasn’t light.
It was Mer who immediately lowered her tail.
I thought I’d just screw it up like this…
“Ehh…”
Anyway, thinking about Laina right now would be pointless.
Even if you clear up the misunderstanding, you may have to sort it out later.
But anyway, I was going to focus on what I had to do.
“Miner is not dead…”
Because I received half of the hero’s power like this.
I was thinking of rescuing Miner, who was being held captive in the Devil’s Castle.
According to the information he heard, he hadn’t heard that Miner was definitely dead, so he didn’t know if he was alive or not.
Seeing you come so close, I can understand.
Miner was still alive.
I was able to know right away because I belong to the excellent side, such as the ability to sense, and because of the warrior’s blessing, that power was amplified.
So, now that this has happened, we should save Miner too, right?
In this situation where the manpower shortage is serious right now, it is also regrettable that there is no power.
Because I had money to collect.
“Go back first. I’ll hold you accountable later.”
I tore up the scroll and attached it to Mer’s forehead, which was tied tightly and couldn’t move.
First of all, send it to the academy’s dormitory, and then you can do it together with Miner.
I have no intention of letting go of the two years that took away my money.
“Hey…”
As if she sensed that she was in a rather dangerous situation, Mer put on a terrified expression, and then she disappeared with the torn scroll.
You should have arrived at my dorm by now.
“Now, infiltrate the castle.”
I looked at the demon castle.
A demon castle I’ve only seen once in the past.
I never thought I’d come here twice.
I intend to infiltrate there for a while.
Since Raina just entered and came out of the castle, she must be weak in defense.
Besides, I have three return scrolls, so there’s no danger of getting caught.
I hid in the castle like that.
