I Was Kicked Out of the Hero Party and the Elves I Raised Are Obsessed With Me

chapter 11



11 . Rihanna, her sincerity (2)

“I’m sorry….”

Those were the first words Rihanna spoke to me after a long vomit in the bathroom.

It must be common sense to look at the seasoning while cooking, but it seems that he is not familiar with cooking to the extent that he does not know such a thing.

With this level of destructive power, it was surprising that the incense stimulated the appetite in the first place.

It’s a pity that I put sincerity into it, but I decided to discard all of this food because I don’t think it can be used as fertilizer.

If I somehow succeeded in feeding the demon king this heinous food, subjugation would not have been impossible.

It wasn’t a joke, it was a statement from the heart. It was more destructive than any weapon I had ever encountered.

Rihanna came out with a weepy look on her face, looking down at her floor.

“I want to apologize to you… I just wanted to help somehow.”

The intention was good, but the result was not. That’s how the world works. I answered as I wiped the table without thinking.

“It’s okay. Thanks to you, I don’t think the kids will complain about side dishes for a while.”

I gave as positive an answer as possible without offending Rihanna.

Rihanna, who seemed moved by my words, covered her mouth again, and she ran straight to the bathroom.

I sighed, followed her, and patted Rihanna on the back as she was pouring vomit down the toilet.

“Ooh, woah… Mimi… not… Whoops!”

I want you to either vomit or talk.

After regurgitating for a while, Rihanna came out with a wobbly stride.

Her complexion was much worse than it had been in the morning.

At this level, even if I said that the skin color of the undead that had just risen from the tomb was more bloody, I couldn’t take it as a joke.

“Drink even this. It will calm you down a bit.”

I sat Rihanna at her seat and nonchalantly handed her a warm cup of ginger tea. It was said to be good for her vomiting, so it was specially brewed tea just for her.

“Thank you, Ain….”

Hororok, along with the sound, Rihanna drank little by little the ginger tea I handed her.

Seeing her crouching on her shoulders like a small animal tried to arouse a little pity in her, but that pity would disappear again when she thought of what she had done to me.

As I was tapping her table with my index finger and making a sad expression, Rihanna glanced at me and seemed to notice her.

Rihanna, half empty of her tea, quietly parted her lips, stroking only the handle of her teacup.

“Ahin, I have something to tell you.”

It’s the same pattern again. I could intuit that the time for a trivial apology had arrived.

It’s obvious that I’m going to say the same thing anyway, I didn’t mean to listen.

“I have nothing to say.”

Rihanna grabbed my wrist as I tried to get up from her seat.

In that action, unlike usual, her desperate will to risk her life was glimpsed.

“Please, it only takes a moment.”

Wait a minute, I looked at the clock on the wall.

At 11:00, it was time for the children to take a nap. He had time to listen to Rihanna’s bullsh*t.

I sighed again and sat down, staring at Rihanna with a look that lost interest in her.

“Okay, then make it shorter.”

Taking a deep breath, Rihanna slowly removed her words.

11:30.

The story to be short didn’t end until 30 minutes had passed.

The story Rihanna told me was shocking.

An awkward silence fell for a moment.

Only the sound of tapping on the table echoed with nervousness.

Rihanna looking at me and me organizing what Rihanna said to me in her head.

There was no time to talk to each other.

I can’t calm down.

I stood up, brewed some tea, and talked insinuatingly.

“So you betrayed me because of Cassandra’s magic?”

A bug that controls emotions, it was a terrible magic to think about.

Cassandra killed monsters more brutally than necessary and was interested in black magic.

She had the talent to discover the magic used in her past and embody it. She thought she was more reliable than anyone else when traveling together. She never thought that the point of her sword would point at her own comrades.

Rihanna sniffled and wiped away her tears.

“I guess that’s how it is.”

Indeed. There wasn’t a single thing I didn’t understand. No matter how stupid Rihanna was, and no matter how much money she revealed, she wasn’t the type to easily abandon her friends.

“But how did you find out about that?”

Rihanna knew nothing about her magic. She was often talkative with her eyes shining like a child when Cassandra showed her a simple spell.

Then she notices the existence of her worm in her own head, and even finds out what her magic is?

There couldn’t have been anyone in this small town who had mastered magic, and it didn’t make much sense to go to another town in one day.

Rihanna flinched at my question and, for some reason, looked alternately at the room where the children were sleeping or at me.

Rihanna, wiggling her fingers, struggled to put her words together.

“That… your daughter told me Did she say Elia?”

“Really?”

I took a sip of the tea I was brewing and answered indifferently.

Seeing me like that, Rihanna opened her eyes wide and asked in a puzzled tone.

“Huh? Did you know?”

Do you know, it’s not particularly strange that Elia realizes her ideal in the first place.

Because I had known for a long time that Ellia was good at various knowledge, and that she was particularly interested in magic.

If she’s smart, she’ll know the magic that’s planted in Rihanna’s head, and she’ll know all about how to get rid of him.

However, my head became more dizzy than before.

All my doubts were answered, but my anger at the loss of where to go lingered in my heart.

I learned that it was not Rihanna’s will, but Cassandra’s intention mixed with malice. My anger and my resentment toward Rihanna because of that lost the target to pour out and were tormenting my heart.

So what about the insults I’ve spat at Rihanna? What about her actions toward her coldly?

In this case, what should I do?

Am I wrong?

As I pressed my temples and put on a distressed expression, Rihanna came over to her side and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

“Ain, are you okay?”

I nodded briefly.

No, are you okay? I do not know. The dizzy head began to lose control of the body.

I got up from my seat with staggering steps. I felt dizzy, and my legs were twisted.

She would have fallen unsightly had it not been for Rihanna standing by her side for support.

“Ain!”

I looked at Rihanna’s screaming face in surprise.

Her eyes widened like a rabbit, her mouth slightly open, her old image superimposed on her face.

When I was bitten by her monster and suffered minor injuries, she worried more than anyone else.

“It’s okay. For a moment… It was just dizzy.”

With Rihanna’s help, I headed to the second floor where my room was.

Standing in front of the door, before turning the doorknob, I gave a hint to Rihanna, who was still looking at me with a worried look.

“Tomorrow… No, let’s talk again tonight. Now I need some time to organize my thoughts.”

If you take a deep breath, your thoughts will be organized. It’s not too late to tell the story again then. Hearing my suggestion, Rihanna smiled brightly and nodded her head.

“Yes, Ain. Get some rest. I’ll be playing with your daughter until then.”

“… Thank you.”

Returning to my room, I immediately lay down on the bed.

I never thought that the day would come when I would say thank you to them.

As I lay on the bed, the image of Rihanna’s smiling face still lingered in my head as I said thank you to her.

A smile appeared on his lips.

At the same time, the ghosts of the past squeeze my heart.

‘No way… Do you miss the old days? I? Me who was abandoned by those bastards?’

Memories are bound to be corrected.

The times I spent laughing with them came to mind one by one.

Has the hatred I felt in the passing of time even diluted?

Do I want to forgive them now?

It makes no sense.

If there are people who say that time is medicine, in front of me, I will kill all their children, parents, and relatives, and show their flesh in front of me.

Can the saying that time is medicine be valid even for humans who talk arrogantly as if they were sages based on stories they picked up here and there?

Isn’t it an irresponsible word that is spat out carelessly without thinking about hurting the victim?

‘I don’t know, I don’t know. I don’t know.’

To borrow Rihanna’s words, my being kicked out felt like a conspiracy entirely made up of the opinions of Cassandra and Leon.

I was kicked out before the tears and blood shed with the party came to fruition.

But you kicked me out like that, what profit do you guys get? Why are you planting bugs in innocent Rihanna… !

Innocent Rihanna. That one sentence was deeply imprinted in my brain.

Oh, yes.

You already have an answer.

I lowered the blanket that covered the top of my head and looked at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky.

It was only then that I was able to make a decision about Rihanna’s sincerity.
