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

24 . Helga, the beginning of pain (1)

I was quite tired, probably because I slept on a bed that was quite hard, not the soft bed I usually slept on.

Creak – With the usual sound of the old bed, I raised my upper body and rubbed my eyes violently as I stretched.

The warm feeling right next to her, Olivia left her own bed and came to sleep next to me.

She was a sofa that was too much to lie on by herself. She somehow stuck right next to me and looked cute just sleeping.

Although the peeking breasts through her pajamas weren’t cute at all.

‘What is this?’

But her Olivia’s face was smeared with something she shouldn’t have.

Seeing the clear blood on her cheek, I reflexively swallowed my breath.

Did you get hurt while playing yesterday?

There were no such wounds until dinner at the inn.

Did I even hurt her while I slept? Were my sleeping habits that bad? So many negative thoughts ran through my head.

Olivia opened her eyes and smiled bashfully as she carefully touched her cheek with her quivering fingers.

However, that smile disappeared as soon as I saw the concern on my face.

Olivia’s eyebrows curled inward and asked in a worried tone.

“Dad… ? What’s the matter?”

I was startled and slurred.

“No, because there is blood on my cheek….”

“Blood?”

Olivia’s expression hardened quickly when she heard the word blood. Olivia, like me, caressed her cheek with her trembling fingers.

Although it was a small amount, her fingers were clearly stained with blood.

Olivia smiled shyly. A look of bewilderment came over her face as she realized it wasn’t her blood, but she soon showed that she understood everything.

“Ah… ah! This? I think it’s because of the mosquitoes.”

I finally calmed down after hearing the word mosquito.

“I thought my daughter was hurt….”

Olivia raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly. She gently stroked my hair and opened her mouth in an infinitely friendly voice.

“Am I stronger than I thought? You won’t get hurt, so don’t worry too much.”

Olivia tried to be as bright as possible to reassure me. Only then could she know who the parents were.

Showing weakness in front of her children, her parents were disqualified. As if to reciprocate her smile, I smiled and stood up.

I went downstairs, had breakfast prepared by the hostess, and told everyone about the schedule for the day.

“Let’s go out together today. Are you fine?”

Nothing special happened, but the time to worry alone like yesterday was a no-brainer.

Living with children all the time, it seems that needlessly loneliness has increased.

The children who went out into the streets shouted at me every time they passed the store.

“Dad, buy me this!”

“Buy that one!”

I couldn’t stop asking to buy it.

My wallet is empty, but my heart is filled with a sense of satisfaction that money cannot fill.

If I wanted to do anything for the people I love, if I could see their smiles, I would be willing to pay this much.

That time when you enjoy yourself to the fullest and go back to your accommodation to rest for a while.

I heard a painful moan in my ears, as if I was about to die.

Looking around, I saw someone collapsed in a back alley lined with trash.

It must have been that someone who was not properly aware of his alcohol level drank in a shaker at dawn.It was a situation that could often be seen drinking more alcohol than usual, drunk in the heat of the festival.

If it’s festival time, I tried to ignore it, but the fact that the target was a woman made me a little concerned.

It wouldn’t be like that in the world these days, but wasn’t I the only one who was attacked by bandits yesterday?

There was no guarantee that a woman who fainted in a back alley would not be approached by a person with nefarious intentions.

I cautiously approached her and shook her shoulder.

“Hey, are you okay?”

The answer I hear is ‘Ugh….’ That was all.

The random broken bottles around her seemed to speak for the pain that was going on in her head.

Her face was barely visible as she twisted her body and stretched her limbs uncontrollably.

I checked her face and stopped her hand.

The name that came out of my mouth.

“Helga?”

As if I had touched a dirty bug, I quickly stepped back.

What I was most worried about on this trip.

I didn’t expect to meet in a back alley like this. Of course, I thought I was going to drink at a tavern or stay at a luxurious inn, so I caught my guard for a while.

I couldn’t understand more than that.

Helga said that even though she drank more than this, she never suffered from a hangover. Rather, the next morning, she was drinking naturally, as if it were yesterday.

Writhing in her pain, Helga met her eyes with mine and suddenly she staggered from her seat.

“Ain… ?”

I even felt an unknown goosebumps from Helga calling my name with a cracking voice.

Her Helga’s eyes quiver. She stretched out her hand and started slowly coming towards me.

After a moment of carelessness, Helga jumped at me in an instant. It looked ferocious, as if a hungry ghoul had captured its prey.

As Helga lunged at me, Rihanna, who was standing behind me, came straight forward and restrained her with a shove in the chest.

“Are you crazy!?”

Puck! Helga, who was pushed as hard as she could with the sound, fell helplessly to the floor.

She was stabbed in the back by fragments of a broken bottle, but Helga held her head, not her back, and complained of her pain.

Apart from that, something was strange. Did Helga get knocked over by Rihanna?

If this wasn’t a dream, it wouldn’t make sense.

Helga is so strong that it would be rude to compare her to most men, and she was proportionately tall for a woman. She doesn’t shoot arrows, she can easily kill an ogre simply by swinging her bow.

Rihanna, on the other hand, is a skirmisher who disarms the traps blocking the party’s path and lights her way. In other words, she is a non-combatant.

Judging by her strength alone, it was impossible for her to shove and trip her Helga, with her body weak enough to be defeated by a young goblin.

“Rihanna, hang on.”

I checked Helga’s condition as she lay on the floor.

Her always bright smile filled her face with fear-soaked eyes instead. Her sturdy body, which hadn’t even been scratched, was full of wounds like scratches with nails, and between them, her blood was oozing out. Was flowing

Is this the girl I know? It was so miserable that I thought so.

Isn’t this life-threatening?

No matter how much she was one of the people who betrayed me, she couldn’t leave people’s lives on the sidewalk.

I said to Rihanna, who put her Helga’s hand on her shoulder and looked surprised in front of her.

“Can you help me?”

Rihanna frowned as if she didn’t want to, but when I asked for a stretch, she quickly wrapped Helga’s arm around her neck.

She didn’t struggle or scream at her, as if she didn’t want to follow Helga. He quietly entrusted himself to the two of us, and only his body was shaking.

She was a little curious about who made Helga, who was so strong, like this, but she decided not to ask now.

I rented another room for her, put Helga in it, asked Rihanna to keep an eye on her just in case, and headed to the bathroom to wash my body stained with Helga’s blood and her own sweat.

●

While Ain went to wash up, Rihanna confirmed that Helga was fast asleep and went to the room where the elves were resting.

Each of the elves held Ain’s loosely stripped clothes in her hands, making ecstatic expressions as if they had taken her medicine.

Rihanna spoke in a sharp voice to those elves.

“Hey, what the hell did you guys do to Helga?”

She said Olivia, slightly uneasy at having a good time interrupted, similarly frowned.

“What are you doing?”

“Helga! I’ve never seen him look like that. Have you ever put a curse on me?”

Elia stood up from her seat and glared Rihanna straight in the face.

Rihanna winced at the sight of her eyes for a moment, but she had to listen straight this time.

When Elia noticed that Rihanna wasn’t backing down, she sighed.

“Curse? It’s not that nasty. Do you think it’s easy to curse right in front of you in the first place? Against someone of that level? I just applied a little bit of the herb to get rid of drunkenness to Olivia’s arrow, but it seems to be working pretty well, right?”

Unbelievable.

That Helga reacts like that to the point that she simply can’t get drunk? Rihanna asked them back as if to confirm what she had heard.

“She can’t get drunk? Is that all?”

Stella opened her mouth, holding her child’s underwear tightly in her hand.

“Everyone has a memory they want to forget with alcohol, right? Apparently, that woman is herself and she seems to have been trying hard to forget her memories with her alcohol, which she couldn’t handle herself.”

The way he spoke was funny, but even the content was by no means light.

She is herself. She has been forgetting her memories through alcohol, which she herself cannot handle.

Rihanna remembers Helga from the first time she met her, and maybe even before that.

She realized that the painful memories she had been carrying within her had rushed in like a wave in an instant….

A kind of torture that no ordinary human mind can bear, a pain that is difficult to understand.
