I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

29 – A bitch that can’t be washed

“Hey little boy! Cut Faust out of the academy! This is an order from a hero!”

“… little boy? Are you sure you are calling me?”

In the Great Sage Room, Minerva’s Old Book blinked in amazement.

Yes, she may look like a younger girl than the academy students, but she is actually quite old.

No one knows his exact age (he didn’t answer even when I asked him), but at least he was much older than Kwak Dong-soo.

“Look, Lucy. What kind of behavior is it to come and cut off an innocent person?”

“crime? do you have a sin? The chewy ignored me. The warrior me! Is this enough? Not enough grounds for the death penalty? When are you going to kill him?”

“… … … … .”

Minerva slapped her forehead as if she was fed up.

‘This warrior also ate the glass. How did this human scum become a hero? I think Faust would be much more suited to a hero than this guy.’

“Hey! Little boy! Can’t you hear me?! sure just! give me a blessing? I’m very easygoing, right? What’s so special about the great sage? Would you like to live without tea?”

“When they asked me to study at the academy, they said they didn’t want to die, so you learned how to show off your power.”

“Enough! Quickly fire that bastard Faust. I heard that there are more and more opinions to replace the hero with that bastard these days? Isn’t this a coup? Threatening the safety of the warrior… What is it, what is it? After all, it is a felony!”

“Anyway, that claim is far-fetched, champion. Isn’t Faust just teaching students diligently at the academy? Even a part-time lecturer who is not a full professor must have a legitimate reason to kick him out.”

“reason?! Why do you need that! Ah-oh! You’re annoying me so much. Shall I just stab you with a holy sword?!”

“Have you ever thought that stabbing me will only expand public opinion on the recently raised theory of hardening the warrior? Please don’t do anything stupid and leave quietly.”

“Ah-oh!!! fuck!!!!!”

The plan to kick him out of the academy and make him homeless failed as the great sage came out unexpectedly stubborn.

Kwak Dong-soo fell into agony alone after being bitten by the slaves nervously in a villa only for warriors, more splendid than the royal palace. How long have you been using your brain?

“I can’t lose the position of a warrior like this. The young is a narrow flea in the narrowing of a friend to pay back the money he borrowed like a loan. Is such a petty guy a warrior? Nonsense! have to stop somehow Not just for me, but for the world!”

— In fact, his only concern was his own comfort. Kwak Dong-soo’s true intention was that if only I could eat well and live well, it wouldn’t matter how hard others suffered.

The problem was that the recent deterioration in public opinion had reached a dangerous level even for Kwak Dong-soo.

I had to reverse the approval rating somehow.

By the way, how?

“… yes! It’s a party! I’m forming a party! After all, what people want is a hero who can defeat the demon king, right? Let’s throw a party!”

Kwak Dong-soo, who had ignored all the requests to form a party that had been pouring in from all walks of life, finally decided to recruit party members.

However, it was not as easy as I thought to gather members.

It was because rumors spread that Beatrice, who was considered one of the saints of the next hero’s party, had completely turned her back on Lucy.

If the hero is the father of the party, the position of the saintess is so important that the saintess is called the mother.

In particular, since the goddess Aarin, whom everyone respects, was the saintess of the warrior party, the voice of the saintess was very strong on the continent of Pangea.

The information that the saintess abandoned Lucy and clung to Faust was the decisive factor that drove Kwak Dong-soo into a corner even more at a time when dissatisfaction with the hero reached its peak.

Since the hero will change soon anyway, everyone is judging that it is better to wait and join Faust’s party than to respond to the call of Kwak Dong-soo, who is about to retire.

“No fuck. Why is no one contacting me? How dare you ignore the hero?! Are you joining the party? It’s a glorious warrior party!!”

Who would buy stocks other than idiots who do not know when they will be delisted?

Kwak Dong-soo suddenly became a duck egg in the Nakdong River.

However, even in the midst of that, there was still a woman clinging to Kwak Dong-soo.

It was Serena who only looked for an opportunity to erase the stigma of a traitor and restore the family’s honor.

“Ha fuck, are you the only one left now? I’m going crazy. Aren’t wizards the only ones out there? Ha~ Are you really going to lose your position to Faust at this rate?”

“Warrior… Are you sure I was chosen as the magician of the party?”

“Fuck I don’t know. If I get fired, it’ll be like there was no party.”

“You can’t do that! I have to get into the warrior party somehow!”

Serena’s will was determined.

She was prepared to do anything to get into the warrior’s party.

Even if it was a shameless betrayal that hurt his benefactor and tarnished his trust, it didn’t matter.

“Public opinion is secondary. In the end, the problem is that Saint Beatrice is siding with Faust.”

“Yeah right. so? Is there any way?”

“I’ve been thinking of ways to change Beatrice’s heart.”

Serena unfolded the rolled parchment.

The bloody note, written with still-not-dry blood, revealed a hideous handwriting.

“Dear Faust, my best friend.

Your letter was well received. Keep your plan to kill the hero hidden from anyone for the time being. If you get caught by the great sage, you’ll be in trouble.

If this plan succeeds, the hero can be killed and the whole world can be dedicated to the Demon King.

I’m looking forward to that day… Until then, remember that you must keep your true purpose hidden.

ah! Is it true that you are sending me the saintess you were carrying as a plaything? That’s a really nice sound to hear. He’s like a stain I couldn’t kill. Hurry up and send the saintess away. I have to send that year to my parents hahahahaha.

Go to your best friend, Gerena Durante.”

“What is this… ?”

“I imitated my brother’s handwriting and wrote it. I used my brother’s blood that was left in my house as ink, so anyone would mistake it for my brother. By the way, hero, didn’t you receive a letter from Faust some time ago?”

“Oh, you came. It was a very fucking letter.”

「Dear Kwak Dong-soo

When are you going to throw a party? Don’t be so lazy, just like I said the other day, Saint Beatrice, Thief Dyna, Knight Alice, Wizard Serena, and Elf Tiffania. Gather these five people and form a party. Are you a warrior by name? What are you gonna do without a party?

Just play around and take care of yourself.”

It was a letter sent by Faust, who was concerned that the affair would be broken.

“Faust asked me to get a reply to that letter.”

Serena intended to use Faust’s errands for her own dirty plot.

——She deliberately dropped a blood letter in front of Beatrice that she fabricated as being written by Gerena and had her read it.

“this… what is… ?”

“oh! that, that… ! give it back!

“Tell me Serena! What is this letter about!!!”

“That’s Faust’s reply to a letter he sent to his friend. He asked me to pick it up, so he was running errands.”

“… … … … … … … … Unbelievable. Gerena and Faust!!! no way! I can not believe it! But isn’t this a magical parchment on which writing is written only with one’s blood as a medium? At least the undeniable truth is that Gerena is the one who wrote this letter. What the hell is Faust thinking? Why are you exchanging secret talks with Gerena or something?!”

Looking at the handwriting of the enemy who killed her parents, Beatrice’s hair stood on end with hatred uncharacteristic of a saint.

It is still clearly engraved on the cornea.

Guerena’s misdeeds of drinking the spinal fluid of the four defeated kings and turning into demons to slaughter innocent villagers.

Beatrice was so excited that she didn’t even notice that Serena was smirking as she foresaw the conspiracy’s success.

She ran straight to Faust’s room and argued fiercely.

From Faust’s point of view, there was no lightning in the dry sky.

“Faust! I had a very interesting letter with a friend. I heard you asked Serena to get a reply?!”

“friend… ? Oh, why?”

“Bye, aren’t you making excuses?! At least I wanted you to tell me that I never did, because it’s okay to lie!”

“It’s true that I actually asked Serena to get my friend’s reply. You don’t have to make excuses.”

“That trash is your friend? How many times have I told you! That bastard is trash that doesn’t even look like a human! I’m going to kill that bastard! I will kill you!”

“No, I won’t let them die.”

If you do that, the law of causality is twisted.

Faust said while thinking of Kwak Dong-soo.

But to Beatrice, who was conversing with Guerena, Faust’s words had a completely different meaning.

It was almost despair.

Beatrice couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“hot! hahahaha… Won’t you let me kill you? It’s good that you talk like that. ha ha ha… now i get it Do you see how precious that calf is? Better than me?!”

“No, it is not valuable. I think there is a misunderstanding… It’s hard to explain, but… ”

“What is a misunderstanding! I already know everything! Even your hidden plans!!”

“-what?”

Faust’s plan was to wait for the right time and not act rashly, as the dragon will one day appear and kill Kwak Dong-soo if he stays still.

“You intend to kill the hero!!”

“Rather than kill… No, but how do you know, Beatrice?”

“I knew it! Now you’re showing your true colors! Like this filthy human being! Did you even try to give me, your lover, to that bastard?!”

Although the expression of “delivering” is illegitimate, it is true that he tried to get Beatrice to join the hero’s party.

Because that was the story of the original game.

It was Faust’s idea that if Kwak Dong-soo died, I should take over the party.

“listen… I’ll stay with him for a while, and when the time comes, come back with me… ”

“shut up!! dirty!!! I regret that I loved someone like you! aaa!!! I hate it now!! I’d rather become a saint of Lucy von Letlea than follow you!!”

“Wait, Beatrice. Let’s talk a little calmer. Something doesn’t fit the conversation. Clearly a misunderstanding… ”

“Do not touch! dirty!!! I don’t want to see a human like you ever again!!”

When Beatrice forcefully slashed Faust’s arm, the relationship between the two came to an end.

Serena and Kwak Dong-soo were watching the catastrophe outside the door at that time, laughing their bellybuttons out.

It was at this moment that Serena was definitely chosen as the wizard of the warrior party.

“Kiki kick. Oh fuck that’s so fucking funny. Alright Serena! You are unconditionally the wizard of the warrior party.”

“Go, thank you, warrior! I’ve been thinking of ways to annoy Faust. I’ll show you a fun show in the future so that you don’t get bored!”

The day after they broke up, Beatrice first went to Kwak Dong-soo and declared that she would become his saintess.

The recruitment of talent, which had been rigid since the saintess joined, began to open up.

Alice, Dina, and Tiffania joined the party one after another, and the warrior party now had a plausible assortment.

On the other hand, Faust, who had gone to the brink of replacing the hero, began to circulate rumors that he was connected to the demons behind the scenes, and his reputation plummeted.

On the contrary, there was a danger of betrayal, so public opinion that they should be expelled soared, and the great sage had to calm it down by saying, “Let’s give it one more chance.”

Yes, we still need one more shot to expel Faust once and for all.

On October 27, 1083,

On the day in question when Faust’s thesis was stolen,

While praying at home, Beatrice had an idea and sneaked into the men’s dormitory and went upstairs where the faculty lived.

After passing through the lodging room where Professor Jeong Jeong lives, he stopped in front of the shabby wooden door.

It was the room where part-time instructor Faust lived.

Beatrice uttered an incantation, and the door opened by itself.

The saintess looked around as if she was wary of her surroundings, then entered a room without the owner—
