I Was Purged From the Villains Union

82 – Farewell 2

In a place that is considered safe, where no one needs to notice.

Hera shedding tears while hugging me.

Quite different from what I thought,

She was genuinely worried about me and was happy to see her again.

Looking at this,

I couldn’t help but feel relieved and a little sorry for the fact that she, who has a temper that doesn’t know where to go, is showing her unexpectedly pure side.

‘It’s a bit twisted, but… you’ve been worrying about me a lot… Hera.’

As a former colleague,

At the same time, Hera, who could not be seen simply, but who clearly had feelings that could be called ‘affection’, had maintained a close relationship in many ways.

I hid my identity from her because of her personal circumstances, but after seeing her and her truth like this, I started to think that this wouldn’t be too bad.

And after a while…

Right after my emotions subsided a bit, Hera looked at me and said in a voice filled with deep joy.

“I missed you, really… It was so painful to know that you were gone forever. But… I’m glad though like this… so that we can meet again I’m really glad.”

“… Sorry, I couldn’t tell you sooner because I was the only one concerned about the situation.”

“Ah… No, what does that matter? The important thing is that you are not dead. You mean you’re in front of me like this?”

Uncharacteristically for her, Hera looks with an innocent smile on her lips.

Through this, I automatically made her blush slightly, but then I decided to clear her mind and tell her what she had to say.

“Uh… Hera, thank you for being so happy that I’m alive… “

“Ah.. I know, but even so, at least you can’t come back right now.”

“Huh?”

Contrary to the expectation that she would beg to come back to me, Hera spoke surprisingly firmly.

I started to have some doubts about this…

Looking at me like that, Hera started talking about all the things that had happened.

*

Hera.

When she heard the news about her Hades, her emotion was intense joy.

She was the only one she could love…

The fact that the man who was able to endure her even after accepting her was alive was a light in itself and approached her as happiness.

In this boring world, the only one who made her laugh from the bottom of her heart.

But…

Right after that, she gave a more detailed inside story to Gaia, who informed her of this fact.

To be precise, I heard why she couldn’t go back to her old relationship with Hades for a while.

She came in as the younger sister of the 7th Shadow Witch, and because of this, she hates villains so much that if she learns the identity of Hades, his life may be in danger.

Furthermore, in the situation of unstable villain alliance like now, it is a story that if the 7th place goes crazy, there is no choice but to take enormous damage.

In addition to that, with the story that it was impossible to bring back Hades, who was weakened compared to the past in terms of reality, Hera had no choice but to give up.

No matter how strong her desire is… If it would lead to the loss of the man she loved again, she would have no choice but to contain it.

However.

Despite this situation, Hera had no intention of giving up her Hades as it was.

Of course, she was well aware that realistically it would be impossible to bring Hades with her right now.

But even so, I can’t just suck my fingers and wait for Hades to return for the next 10 years or so.

In order to endure that long, Hera needed a ‘mark’ at this moment.

It reminds me of the man I love…

She had longed for it, but she could not easily ask for it.

A very clear and distinct proof.

That’s right…

Immediately after Hera’s explanation of what had happened,

I couldn’t help but feel a deep surprise at the flow of the situation that was really unexpected.

“Could it be Gaia-sama… “

“Yeah, to be honest, I was really surprised too. To think that the person who had been quietly watching would appear like that and sort out the situation… “

“Ummm… “

Certainly, this situation could not be sorted out unless Gaia, who can be said to be the ultimate symbol of the villain alliance, stepped forward.

Although she is a person who has virtually announced her retirement and stepped down, she is a character who can bring all villains to their knees just by her existence.

The fact that the alliance of villains is reuniting and resolving the situation just because she stepped in could be said to be a natural trend.

What was more important was the fact that Gaia knew my situation almost exactly, and prevented Hera from running out of control in advance.

‘I don’t know if I’ll get a chance, but if I ever get to talk to him, I’ll definitely thank him. I never thought I would get help in this way… ‘

Recalling the back of my old teacher who announced his retirement, saying that I would not be able to see him anymore, I began to feel gratitude once again.

And

Looking at me like that,

Hera began to speak her words, displaying a slightly different mood of hers.

“Anyway, it happened… I won’t appear in front of you for a while. No matter how much I do, I have no intention of taking the risk of losing you anymore. Of course, I will always open the door of union for you, but I will not force you. Because I have to pay attention to the guy in 7th place.”

Hera declared her renunciation of me so unexpectedly and neatly.

About this, I told her with a deep sense of relief.

“Yes… Thank you for understanding, I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I’ll look at the situation for now and give you an answer later.”

Thinking that this was the end of the story, I slowly tried to stand up from the bridge.

But…

“… What? Is there anything else you want to say?”

The next moment,

Hera’s act of stretching out her saw and blocking my way.

It wasn’t that I was going to kill myself, but clearly expressing my intention that the story wasn’t over yet, I sat down again.

And…

“Okay, now that I’ve finished explaining the situation, let’s get down to business.”

“….Copy… theory?”

Different from before,

Hera starts to talk while displaying an unusual attitude.

Regarding this, I began to feel a strong surge of anxiety,

The scene that caught my eye right after that was…

“… Blanket… Hey you… now… “

“Why? Ah… After all, is it better for you to take off these things?”

Hera’s action as she unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing and spoke.

So I started to feel the fact that I couldn’t be very happy for a moment passing through my head…

Looking at me like that, Hera wondered why she had brought me here.

Then, she started talking about what she wanted from me.

That’s right…

“Come on, let’s do it. Making babies.”

“….”

“Why? You won’t be able to see your face for a while. Shouldn’t you at least do this to the woman you loved?”

It’s new, but Hera’s words make it clear once again that this year is not normal.

In response to this, I couldn’t help but think that it was her idea in a way, even as she let out a deep sigh.

She, who had shown affection for me close to obsession, made her declaration that she would cut off her interest in me for the next few years or more than 10 years.

Of course, there was no way they would readily accept this without any conditions, and requesting something in this regard was predestined.

‘Even if that’s the case, making a kid for nothing… Well, you could call it her idea, but… ‘

And perhaps, if I refuse to do it here, it will be impossible for me to walk out on my own two feet.

In a situation like that, it’s virtually no different than a single shot.

After all, I’m a sucker for trick-or-treating.

In addition, as a parting gift for my ex, whom I will no longer see, I have decided to accept her request.

“… Well, if you want that much, you can’t.”

Regardless of her appearance, as an adult who has already known and experienced everything on the inside, she doesn’t have anything to distance her from.

I slowly started to approach her, with her expression that was so inconsequential.

Looking at me like that, Hera blushed slightly in embarrassment and began to smile at her.

“Come on, come. It’s our baby…”
