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

5 – Throw away the bitch and change to a concept girl

“Oops! oh! Faust, Faust! You finally came out!”

I thought something was caught on the front door, and it was Serena who was dozing off.

“Everyone, let’s go to the palace right now. The King will be waiting for you.”

“You go alone.”

“what? What am I going to do by myself? Faust. Did you hear the rumors too? That my brother surrendered and betrayed the Demon King’s army.”

you know you know

It is said that it is a great event that has been featured in the history books.

It was said that the heir of the duke’s family, who would have lived luxuriously with his legs stretched out if he stayed still, gave up all his status and wealth and devoted himself to the Demon King’s army, and it was a huge scandal.

It’s none of my business.

“So, I am at a disadvantage politically. If rumors circulate that the next hero refused appointment because of me, I could be stoned to death by the roadside. Not only me, but also my mother.”

“therefore? whatever.”

“no… It’s not about what to do.”

Blood vessels sprouted from Serena’s forehead. I’m annoyed by this.

Still, it was funny how he suppressed his anger by making a forced laugh. My voice is different from usual and it makes me feel bad.

“If you have this holy sword, you can now become a hero. Everything in the world is up to you? I will always support you unconditionally. I am ready to work hard as your henchman. I, I’ve been a senior chief of the second grade at the Academy, and I’m not my brother, but I was expelled from the Academy because of the fucking baby, but anyway ”

“Oh coincidence, I got kicked out of the academy too.”

“… … no i mean”

“Should we just hold a meeting with the expelled students?”

“Yeah, that’s not bad either. People who share the same pain will unite, and I will become friends as a wizard in your party—”

“It sucks.”

Is it so crowded that even sarcasm won’t notice? this stupid bitch.

“What is a party? Do you think I have no intention of becoming a hero?”

“Hey, don’t do that, just think again. There is no reason not to become a hero.”

“reason? Of course there is. I’ll tell you the reason from now on, so don’t forget to tell the king as it is. ”

He warned Serena, who was sweating coldly with a pale face like someone suffering from heat stroke, not to cling to her anymore.

“The reason I don’t want to be a hero is because Serena makes me feel like shit. okay? Go and tell the king. got it? please.”

“… … … … … .”

Serena was speechless and froze on the spot.

Her lips were as dry as the desert, and her eyes narrowed like three hundred eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when the annoying intruder froze in shock, I set out to my original destination.

——Yeompa, the master of Jo Nara, had great prestige, so there was no end to the diners.

However, when Yeompa was dismissed and lost power, all the guests left him.

When he was appointed general again, guests started to flock again, and Yeompa said.

“Get out!”

one of the guests said.

“ah! How are you so slow to judge? Everyone in the world gets along with you as if you were doing business in a market place. If you have authority, I follow you, and if you don’t have authority, then I will follow you.

—fuck it.

There’s a certain level of shamelessness.

Yeomryangsae (炎涼世態) is the world’s rule, but I can’t accept it.

Before the expedition, Serena covered her nose in front of many people and teased me about the smell of horse manure. I still have good memories of everyone laughing while copying Serena’s movements.

And as soon as I return from the expedition, I will now support me unconditionally.

What am I supposed to do when I hear that?

It’s just disgusting.

Bringing up family history is seen only as sympathy.

How can I believe that the kindness she shows me is nothing but prior and after. All people must have sincerity in their fellowship.

I have no intention of becoming friends with the person who ignored and bullied me when I was having a hard time.

All I can offer Serena is revenge and despair.

The person I want to meet the most right now is not a bitch who comes and goes like a migratory bird, but Misha Greenwood, a woman who mustered up the courage to send me a letter of support even while the whole world was slandering and slandering me.

“You fucking elf bitch! You’re glaring at me with your cheeky eyes again! I don’t think you’ve done anything! You are a slave, a slave!”

“Stop hitting me, Mr. Alcast. A whip with metal spikes hurts.”

“Mister Alcast? Mr. Alcaste?”

As usual, sonic booms were heard from the butcher’s building in the middle of the crowded market.

It is the sound of the butcher shop owner Alcast whipping the elf slave Misha. Rumor has it that instead of meat, the torn off flesh of the elves is strewn about on the floor at that butcher shop.

Alcaste’s treatment was so cruel that even people who didn’t like elves very much thought it was a bit harsh.

“You should call me master, you bastard!”

“Aww! My master is a different person. The great sage rewrote the magic circuit.”

“It sucks. The idiot that the Fauston does something is to be kicked out by the warrior and remove the dung. Don’t you know why the asshole academy sent you back to me? Magic is magic, and state law is state law. Do you understand me?”

“I don’t know. More than that, when do you feed me? I haven’t had water for two months already. Coke, Coke.”

“I heard you elves feed on natural energy?”

“Still, you have to eat. At least give me some water to drink.”

“water? that’s good I’m not such a heartless owner. I can pour you a glass of water.”

“Ahh… ”

Alcaste brought a jug of cold water with floating ice in it. Seeing the water, Misha involuntarily stuck out her tongue.

Her tongue was so dry that needles sprouted from not being able to absorb moisture for a long time.

“water… please give me some water.”

“Drink me first. gulp… gulp… Kiyaaa! It’s cool!”

“Mister Alcast… If you drank it all, I’ll just have a drink… ”

“Oh wait. Have another drink.”

Alcaste, whose belly protruded like a camel’s hump, hated it and took another one-shot. Anyway, now it was Misha’s turn.

“I… I only have one drink. I haven’t had water for two months.”

“That’s because you don’t call me master.”

“Other elves, even if they are slaves, usually get at least some food and water, so why are you being so harsh on me? The world tree sees everything… Human greed will be punished someday.”

“This bitch is trying to teach me again, fuck. So, you say you don’t want to drink water?’

“I want to drink… ”

Misha, whose appearance is as dignified as Princess Isabelle’s, was wearing a rag and was prostrated on the ground, craving for a glass of water.

Alcast also refilled the water cup to give grace to the slave’s attitude, which finally became a little obedient. Misha swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

I couldn’t even drink water, and now my throat would hurt if I swallowed saliva.

“Do you want to drink?”

“Yes… I want to drink.”

Alcaste seduced Misha with a glass of water. He got up from his seat and waddled over.

The water in the cup swayed from side to side with a more exaggerated gait than usual.

“great. So let the generous master give the slave a special water… ”

“Ahh. finally… !”

“… I thought Oops! What to do with this!!”

It’s a gesture that’s sure to make anyone look at it.

Alcast tripped over his feet and spilled the entire glass of water.

Misha looked down at the spilled water on the floor, devastated. Her eyes were sunken deep and dark, unable to find life.

“Hey, I’m sorry about this. I really wanted to make her drink it, but I made a mistake. Did you stop spilling it?”

“… … … .”

“Isn’t this kind of thing happening in life? They say life is eventful! I’ve lived a long time, so I’ve heard that all sorts of things happen to the stars!”

“… … … … .”

In fact, considering Misha’s age, the 40-year-old Alcast was no different from a newborn baby.

‘Even without this necklace… ‘

A special necklace that prohibits any action that harms humans.

All elves are bound to freedom by that necklace.

It was the symbol of slavery itself.

Mischa knew it was useless, but she tried to pull the necklace off, but as expected, there was no choice. The moment he put his hand on the necklace, his mana was forcibly reduced to zero, and electric shock flowed through his entire body.

“Aw!!!”

“Is this bitch trying to rebel again? why? Are you trying to kill me by loosening the necklace? Fuckers say elves will betray you if you release them like this? You and us humans have not been on good terms since long ago. If you twist it, you win the fucking war.”

“… The World Tree has not been defeated.”

“Again, that bastard’s fucking world tree. Oh yes yes! Decided. Let’s make this year the year of saving water. No drinking water until next year! how?”

“That is unfair… until this year There are still 10 more months left.”

“Kkowa? If you twist it, call me master. Then I’ll make you drink the remaining water in the kettle right away.”

“… … … … … ”

“And if you say ＜Faust plagiarized the hero’s thesis and was kicked out of the academy＞, he won’t hit you for the time being and will conscientiously serve you a meal. how is it? Isn’t that an unconventional proposition? It’s not like Faust listens to that anyway.”

“… Why do you want me to say that?”

“I just want to hear it.”

It is true that elves absorb the energies of nature. However, that was only the inhalation of magical power, and in order to maintain normal vital functions, elves need food and water just like humans.

It is said that a person can survive 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.

Even if elves were stronger than humans, in fact, fasting and abstinence were limited to one month.

Misha, who hadn’t been able to quench her thirst for two months, had already exceeded her limit and was losing consciousness.

When I breathe, my throat hurts and the skin on my stomach sticks to my back.

If you leave the hard things and go on like this, you might really die.

“Say it quickly, bitch. If you hold out any longer, you will really die.”

But instead of answering, she closed her eyes.

There are things you can only see if you don’t see them.

In the darkness, she recalled the only times in the last thousand years that could be called happy.

The days at the academy where I dreamed of taking classes just like ordinary people.

Although Faust was officially Mischa’s master, he never treated her as a slave. He treated other students without any discrimination.

Once, the daughter of the duke, who secretly liked Faust, invited him to go to a social party with him. Needless to say, that day overlapped with Misha’s make-up class, which couldn’t keep up with progress.

Misha naturally assumed that Faust would cancel make-up classes. Whoever thought of it, it was more profitable to choose a social party hosted by a duke’s daughter who could make a lot of friends than to teach boring classes for one elf.

However, Faust declined the young lady’s invitation.

“Why, why? Why elves… Actually, you’re not even a real student, are you? Is it because you hate me?”

“I don’t know what you mean. Misha is a full-time student. And I’m not a full professor, but I’m in a position to teach students. Nothing can take precedence over my pupil. If you want to take supplementary lessons, come along.”

“Uh, what… The royal family is also attending this party! Gee, are you really going to go to that elf girl?! Hey!”

Misha couldn’t concentrate on the lesson Faust was teaching because the tears kept flowing that day.

“… pond… say… ”

“Ah? What did you mumble? Are you saying your voice is hoarse because you haven’t been drinking water? If you hold on any longer, you will really die.”

“rather… Better to die.”

Misha grabbed the necklace once more. A bolt of lightning ran through his nerves, but this time he didn’t back down.

“Oh, hey! Will it explode if I keep touching it? Are you really going to die?”

“I don’t want to insult him… I’d rather die!”

—Misha recklessly tried to tear off the necklace, and a sudden explosion engulfed the butcher shop.

A self-destruct device designed to automatically kill runaway slaves.

However, even after the smoke was blown away by the wind, Misha was still alive.

Rather, it was Alcast that was caught in the explosion and seriously injured.

Well, of course not.

In the first place, this is the explosion magic I cast aiming at Alcast.

“Thank you so much for your unchanging single-mindedness, but don’t die yet. You have a lot of work ahead of you.”

“… uh… ? This, this voice can’t be… Par, Master Faust? Are you the owner?!”

—I made Misha, who had lost her energy, drink water by holding the spout of the kettle in her mouth.
