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

chapter 9



9 – I thought it was We’ll have no problem without you!…

“… well, good luck Coke! Hang me, the princess, from a tree and Coke! You can spread out and sleep… you are.”

“sniffling.”

“Keugh! Drinking tea alone while people are talking… no more than that! Give me some tea too! I am thirsty!!”

The human tree planted outside the house was also unsightly, so I asked Misha to remove it. As Misha chanted a spell in Elvish, the tree grew smaller and smaller as if pressing the reverse play button, then became a sapling.

Serena said that it is harder to get rid of a demon tree than to grow it, and looked at Mischa as if she were a monster after she casually lifted the magic.

The captives fell to the ground. No one seemed to be dead, but everyone was emaciated and their appearance changed, as if suffering from malnutrition.

“Misha made tea for the master. Misha wants to work only for the master. I hate other humans.”

“Adduk… ! I really don’t like this elf! Why don’t elves who have a lower status than the common people listen to me?”

“master. Can’t we just use this person as food for the forest? Are you annoyed by the constant fighting… Not even my master.”

“Hee!!”

Fortunately, Isabelle suffered less damage. According to Misha, humans pickled in chemicals seem to suck less because trees don’t like them.

When you say chemical products, you probably mean clothes or cosmetics with a lot of color.

“Stop it, Misha. It’s a waste of time. You are out for a while.”

“Yes, Master.”

The house is so small that there is no room to enter. Misha stood outside the house for a while, and the two of them, the princess and Serena, sat down at a table and started a conversation.

I didn’t want to talk about it much, but it was inevitable that I wouldn’t go back.

what… What I want to say is roughly expected.

“Whoa… Whoa… that elf. Talk to Obama and I will definitely kill him. I’ll make you pay for scorning the royals… !”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Get down to business and get off quickly.”

“what… ! turn it off… !!”

The first slang I’ve ever heard.

Isabelle was giddy at the unpredictable rudeness. I lost all my energy from hanging on to the tree, but I felt like I was getting all the stress I would have for the rest of my life today.

“Faust… you. like. Let me tell you the main point. As a princess, I will give you an order. Become a hero and save this world.”

“be not interested in. get to know someone else Did you see everything? Get off now.”

“… … … … … .”

Isabelle, blushing, smiled like a broken radio. Serena looked at her with a servile expression and said.

“Are you still mad, Faust? That… As you know, a hero can only be a person from another world, right? Right now, there is no other candidate but you.”

“You know what? Called someone else from Earth.”

“… The dimension summoning magic circle has a cooldown, so it cannot be used for the next 100 years. If there is no hero for 100 years, the country called Aurelia itself might disappear? Please do me good.”

“Whoa… The tea is delicious.”

As I drank mindlessly, the teacup exposed the floor before I knew it.

Misha is outside… It’s annoying to boil it myself.

“Isabelle. Go get some tea.”

“Sigh?!”

“Why are you making a face that you don’t understand? Make some tea.”

“Serena. Please make some tea.”

“No, you do it. Then think about the hero.”

“… … … … … ”

Isabelle glared at me so fiercely that her cheeks trembled, then struck the teacup with her holy sword. It’s a pottery I made myself, but it was shattered and broken.

“Fuck it! I will never ask a favor of a human like you again!”

“yes? Don’t hate it.”

“Faust! Be prepared! Add to that the disrespect the elf gave me, and I’ll make sure you pay for your sins! Let me tell you how terrifying power can be! No matter how much you’re a candidate for a hero, you’re just a commoner! I am a princess standing at the top of the nation!!”

“Okay, come back quickly. Are you done with your business?”

“You seem to be mistaken about something.”

Isabelle lifted her lips to one side and sneered. While wielding a holy sword as if it were something special, he covered his mouth with a fan with peacock feathers.

“Even without you, there is no problem with our country. In fact, the former warriors didn’t even post a record, right? He was an incompetent man who died as soon as he went on an expedition. Still, we were unharmed. Hundreds of years of know-how and know-how without borrowing the power of warriors! Because the defense system is built! you… It seems that you are planning to do something with power this time, but keep stretching like that. Alone, just live like a worm in this mud house! I will never visit you again!!”

“Are you sure you can keep those words? You can’t cancel that.”

“I’m playing, really. What is Ji… No, really, if someone hears it, you’ll think it’s going to be something. Do you know the subject? What a pitiful life subject of cleaning up horse dung!!”

Isabelle kicked the table and looked at me like a pill.

When I didn’t respond much, the crazy princess stabbed and smashed all the furniture in my house with her holy sword, and then walked out as if she had lost her senses.

To be honest, it wasn’t a house with affectionate things, so the damage wasn’t great, but it’s true that it was a great disappointment for a human named Isabelle.

Serena looked back and forth between me and Isabelle, then hurriedly ran after the princess.

“Majesty! Princess! You can’t do this!”

“What’s wrong? Did I say anything I couldn’t?”

“Now go over there… Fa, to Faust over there… Sa, how about an apology?”

“what? What did you say now?”

Isabelle suddenly stopped and glared at Serena with eyes colder than snakes. Serena, who lives on thin ice every day, felt obligated to say this even though she knew full well that she must never dislike the royal family.

“Without the hero, everything is over. The world will never return to normal.”

“What nonsense are you? Have a look? What does the warrior do? Is there anything else besides wasting taxes by pretending to be proud with a holy sword? Come to think of it, you were a member of Lucy von Letlea’s party, right? Didn’t you end up not being able to properly wage war against the demons in the end? Still, our country was peaceful, right? In the end, the hero party is just a relic of the past, and we don’t have to worry about the hero.”

“That, that is not so. It’s really not that, Your Highness.”

“What’s wrong?”

Usually, when I say this, everyone gets scared and backs down, but when Serena stubbornly replied, the princess was a little puzzled.

“Even if the hero himself does nothing, the very existence of the hero makes the world of magic work. For example, even if we look at the sky, the scene of the demon king’s army not being reflected is… A chamak that blocks the access of demons… this… ”

“? Is it a car stop? What is it? uh? But why is it so dark?”

While explaining the magic system to the princess, she casually looked up at the sky—a huge dragon that overturned the clouds was spreading its wings. If it’s a dragon, it’s a fantasy species that can defeat even a young individual only when 10 wizards who have officially graduated from the academy gather together… Among the Demon Lords, they are known for being particularly ferocious.

“D-It’s a dragon… To come this close… Hey, it’s also a tea stop.”

“Kyaaa!! It’s a monster! It’s a monster!! Weird!! Why doesn’t my defense system work? If an attack comes in from the air, the automatic interception magic installed in each tall tower will defeat the enemy!!”

“Yeah, that’s a system created by a hero 320 years ago, so it won’t work without a hero.”

The dragon continued to look around as if looking for something. The inhabitants of the capital were frightened when they saw the dragon appearing in the sky, and all fled to their homes, but the palace was too far away.

In the end, the princess caught the dragon’s eye.

<… found. was there>

“Kyaaa!!! De, the dragon is watching me!! Aww!! Yo, the dragon is coming! Serena! You’re a pretty powerful mage, aren’t you?! Please save me quickly!!!”

“That, that. My magic is also a magic that becomes stronger by linking with the hero. Now, if you pounce on the dragon, you won’t even get a scratch… If there is a hero next to him, he will have enough firepower to fight a dragon to some extent.”

“Then bring the hero!! hurry!!!”

“… Even if I asked Faust to come now, he would never come. Right after I said I would never come back.”

“… that, that.”

words of one’s own mouth.

It wasn’t long ago, so I remember it clearly… I had no idea that a crisis situation would come so quickly.

“… Please save me… ”

Even if you regret it, it’s already too late.

The dragon’s strong hand grabbed the princess.

As soon as the dragon flapped its wings, it flew far away and became a small dot.

——The news that the princess was kidnapped spread across the country.

If it’s power enough to face the dragon… In common sense, there was only a warrior party.

But, of course, the king knew that Faust was refusing to appoint him as a hero.

It was disrespectful to be rejected by commoners many times as a king.

Rather than relying on a hopeless hero, he gathered the strongest soldiers and magicians to try to recapture the princess. However, both the soldiers and wizards expressed disapproval as if they had made a promise.

In particular, the more famous the elite, the more confidently they advised the king that this operation could not succeed.

“Mana flows in the air, and we use magic by embodied in mana. However, the amount and quality of mana flowing in the atmosphere is enhanced only when the hero is linked with the world. Even with the same magic, its power weakens to less than one-tenth in the absence of a hero.”

“Swords used by soldiers are the same. It’s hard to catch even a beast with just a sword. It is worth fighting the demon army with a magic sword or magic spear, but the first person who combined magic and weapons was the daughter of a blacksmith who loved the first warrior. The daughter’s heart added magical power to the weapon. Without a champion, you cannot infuse magic into a weapon. How do you beat a dragon with plain copper or iron?”

“You must have a hero, Your Royal Highness.”

“It’s like a cat fighting a tiger.”

—Please show me the image of a warrior holding a holy sword.

—You can never go out before that.

That was the common opinion of strong players gathered from home and abroad. When the king ordered them to shut up and mobilize, they all ran away, leaving only trashy junk soldiers.

He didn’t want to, so he looked for a suitable envoy to invite Faust again, but since rumors that Faust didn’t want to be a hero had already spread, no one wanted to take on the mission.

In the end, the king himself had no choice but to go to ask Faust.

Otherwise, the only daughter dies. When a daughter dies, let alone be sad, the bloodline of the royal family is severed and the country is ruined.
