2. Today, I kidnapped a hero. maybe yesterday (2)
uhm.
What do we do.
I was kidnapped…
“excuse me. Is there anyone around here?”
Warrior.
Lunacia Luna.
She raised her voice to call for help.
It was because the kidnapper had been going out somewhere for a while.
“excuse me-! near here! Is there anyone-!”
…
Could it be that there is a magical device… ?
The windows don’t open, and the door doesn’t move.
Apparently, this room was equipped with a magical device.
On the one hand, is it fortunate that there is a toilet?
The hero Luna realized that there was no escape.
“What, is this happening to me? ”
She quickly grasped the situation and sat down on a chair.
Then, he lay his body on the desk.
It was because the tension in the body had lost its strength.
“A kidnapping… I’m kidnapped… ”
I’m just a villager A from the countryside.
The color of the hair and eyes are a little unusual.
I’m such a poor person…
“What kind of hero am I… ”
Clearly you have misunderstood the person.
However, the person seems to have never misunderstood.
I act and speak as if I am a hero, as if I am an unconditional hero.
“I’m not a prophet, and that’s possible—more than that, I’m not a warrior at all… ”
ha…
If I thought about it more, what would I do?
He has no intention of releasing me…
Luna understood the current situation and did not think any more to save her power.
Then, emotions flowed like a waterfall, and tears began to flow from his eyes.
“Uhhh.. me.. what will happen to me.. huh..”
Am I being treated violently like I saw in the book?
Or, is it going to be dinner and go into that person’s stomach?
I won’t touch it.
Luna couldn’t believe what the kidnapper said.
“I, in order to give a sense of despair.. heuu…”
still.
He didn’t look like someone who would lie…
I can’t believe that I won’t touch you…
I will kidnap and do nothing.
Would you believe that if you were kidnapped?
“I’d rather trust the cat at the fish shop…”
Every action has a purpose.
However, the kidnapper’s actions seemed to have no particular purpose.
If you were kidnapped!
Whether you just want money or want a body.
It is natural for the kidnapped subject to have something he wants.
You have to have a purpose, because you kidnap people.
“By the way… that man… I don’t have anything… ”
action has no purpose
Could it be that he’s really crazy?
Maybe he just kidnapped me out of boredom?
An action that the hero’s head could not comprehend at all.
Then she stopped the tears and got up from her desk.
“Well, it’s still too early to give up hope… ”
If I live waiting, someone will come to rescue me.
Maybe someday I’ll get out of here.
The warrior regained consciousness at the thought.
The blue eyes that had been weeping returned to their sanity.
“..someone will come to rescue me! During that time… I keep my spirits up and hold on… !”
In the hands of that crazy man!
I will never give in!
iron ingot!
Hero Luna clenched her fists as if she would not lose.
… Still, being alone was very lonely.
***
what.
“My ears are itchy.”
who is swearing at me
Well, there are plenty of people who will curse at me.
The period I spent in this world was 10 years.
If I think of what I’ve been doing, there must be about a truckload of people who hate me.
“Because adventurers don’t always have only good things.”
As always, if there are good requests on the bulletin board, dogs or cows will do adventurers.
Discriminated against as a person from another world, the only requests that fell to me were garbage requests with poor processes or results.
Until I settled down as an early adventurer, I carried out such a request, and I still receive such requests in an ongoing form.
“Dirty racist guys.”
this is all goddess
It’s because of the goddess who dropped me into another world.
I stood in front of a small door in a dark alleyway.
‘The Library of Minerva.’
The signboard was written in Korean, not another world language.
I open the door as usual and go inside.
There is an expansive library inside.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that I gathered all the books in this world.
But.
“When I first saw it, it was beautiful, but now it’s a little off. inefficient.”
Is it because I’ve been here too many times?
When I think of it as a space for bookworms, I don’t really feel anything.
I walk towards the inside of such a library.
“Boo-boo-”
“Oh, yes. I came Myung-ah.”
“Boo-! Boo-!”
The owl of Minerva the librarian.
owl for short.
In short, he passed the angry bird head and approached the bookworm inside.
A little girl with a cute impression wearing round glasses and a bread hat on her head.
As usual, she sat in a wooden rocking chair, reading a book.
“… What are you reading?”
“The story of human Lee Jun-woo. The more I look at this, the more I get tired of it.”
goddess.
Minerva.
The person who summoned me to another world.
She didn’t seem to take her eyes off the book, even when I was there.
I put my hand through the book.
“Stop reading. Isn’t it fun to see other people’s dark history?”
“Baby, get out of the way. That’s the important part.”
“You’ve seen it 10 more times. Can you stop watching now?”
“Why, the more I look at it, the more it tastes different. Junwoo. How did you feel at this time?
“… I am still speechless.”
I checked the contents of the book Minerva was holding.
That’s…
“My elementary school days are as much fun as a 20-year-old. admit?”
“… I told you to stop watching.”
“By the way, why did you confess to the girl next to you? Giving a big pepero on Pepero Day?”
“stop! Stop talking!”
A goddess like a pervert who sees other people’s dark histories every day.
She looked at me angry, and was giggling.
“Okay, don’t be mad.”
“… ha.”
If it wasn’t for a real goddess, I’d be beaten up.
I endure…
10 years ago.
From the time I arrived in this world until now, she and I have maintained this kind of relationship.
A relationship where I always read my story through books, laugh, and tear it apart.
With a lot of interest in the world called Earth, she fills that excessive curiosity through the past of the character Nara.
The biggest problem is to satisfy my curiosity by ‘Guanyin’.
My black history is no longer my own.
than that…
“Minerva.”
“yes? why?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. Why am I here? You know right?”
“Hmm, I don’t know…”
“That problem. and answer What the hell were you thinking about? I’ve gone too far To kidnap the warrior.”
Originally, Minerva was a problem, but I tend to play small pranks.
There were no jokes about important stories.
It is also unconditional when life is at stake.
“I think the joke about kidnapping the future hero has crossed the line. Be honest. Did you have any other options besides kidnapping? It doesn’t make any sense to say that it’s unconditionally kidnapped.”
“Wait a minute! do not be angry… It’s scary… ”
“Then, explain it to me. Why did you have to abduct the hero?”
bang-!
I slammed her desk with my fist to give her a sense of intimidation.
In the distance I could hear the angry flapping of its wings, but it didn’t matter.
“I’ll have to properly explain the connection between not kidnapping a hero and my life.”
“Ah, I didn’t know… Now, wait… I can’t speak well… Let’s see… Ah! Hey, look at this! Then you can understand!”
Minerva took a book from the bookshelf.
The Death of Jun-Woo Lee, Volume 83.
This is a hot new edition that came out today.
I got the book from her and read it on the spot.
“… ”
Tick. Tick.
The clock rings in the library, and I focus on the book.
Lee Jun-woo’s Death Series with answers related to my death.
Reading 83 hot books, I looked over the reasons for my death one by one.
My deaths were neatly arranged from the reason to the conclusion.
In order not to accidentally lose my life, I used to always take the new certificate when it came out.
After reading all 83 books, I closed the book neatly.
tuk.
‘… This is true.’
conclusion.
All the options not to kidnap the hero were leading me to ‘death’.
I calmed my anger and stroked Minerva’s head.
“… Sorry for getting angry. That’s right. Unless you kidnap the hero. I die.”
“Well, that’s why…! See..! I don’t even know the author’s mind! Jun-woo, you have 0 points! A student with zero points!”
I couldn’t understand the author’s intentions.
Obviously, a student with a score of 0 is right in that respect.
According to Minerva’s problem, if I don’t abduct the hero, I will die in the distant future.
The reason is…
“The children of ‘Greemore’ know who the hero is.”
“right! They also know that heroes are weak.”
grimore.
A human group that follows the ‘Demon King’ that the hero must defeat.
Somehow, they knew the existence of the undisclosed hero in the world.
And Grimore kidnaps the hero with the information he knows.
Soon, he uses black magic to brainwash the hero and steal his mind.
‘Their purpose is goddesses.’
to kill the goddess.
To bring ruin to the world.
They brainwash the hero and kill me, Minerva’s ‘Apostle’.
All my deaths recorded in the book were due to the hero.
“If I hadn’t kidnapped… The hero must have been kidnapped by the Grimore.”
“When the hero is kidnapped, there is no way for Jun-woo to survive. I’m definitely going to die.”
“So the kidnapping… So, how long do I have to keep the hero with me?”
“Until the hero can stand alone. You should be able to beat the Grimores alone. We should also recruit a Hero party.”
He nodded at Minerva’s words after a long time.
That was right.
The current hero was too weak, and if he let it out like this, he would be kidnapped by the Grimores.
While the hero grew stronger, I needed a safe space, and that was my home.
Minerva shrugged and squeezed me.
“okay! I’m not doing anything wrong! I made it right! Apologize to me right now!”
“Okay, sorry. But, shouldn’t it be okay if you don’t play pranks on a regular basis?”
“Wh, what?!”
“If you had built up your trust properly, I wouldn’t have doubted you, and I wouldn’t have been angry… ”
“Well, if you say that… I have nothing to say…”
Minerva frowns again.
Although she had an enormous task of being a goddess.
To be honest, it wasn’t divine at all.
If I had been a follower of her, maybe I would have escaped to another religion.
Believers should, or should not, not know Minerva’s true form.
Anyway.
“It is correct that I abduct the hero. I came to check it out. I also wondered how long I should be imprisoned.”
“Hmm, okay? Really, I’m lucky… ”
“… Do you have anything else?”
“No, what. just like that~”
there is something
But, I’m never going to tell you.
Lee Jun-woo’s future series that only Minerva can read.
After reading it, Minerva giggled as if teasing me.
Since he couldn’t tell the future directly, he replied with a smile instead.
“… Then, go. Don’t read a lot and go to bed early.”
“Yeah, okay! Before that, one last time, Jun-woo!”
“why.”
“Anyway! Thank you for taking responsibility for the launch of the Hero Party!”
“… What is he saying now. I was never responsible.”
I’m thinking of keeping him until the hero can deal with the Grimore.
what is he talking about
The hero’s campaign begins not now, but after some growth is over and confinement is over.
In the meantime, I plan to take responsibility for the safety of the hero.
‘If the hero is corrupted and this world is destroyed, there is no reason for me to be here… ‘
Until I go back to Korea.
This world had to work properly.
by the existence of a warrior.
With Minerva’s laughing voice behind me, I left the library.
“Boo-! Boo-!”
“What, dude.”
While ignoring the angry owl.
When I go out, it is evening.
It was an evening when the sun had set and darkness had come.
“It’s already time… ”
I need to go back soon.
So, I walked towards the house without any doubt.
The moment when the number of people increases and the house needs to be changed.
Without doubting the last words of the goddess, who is responsible for the launch of the warrior ‘Party’…
