Only the Party Members Returned, Not the Hero

9. What Happens When Heroes Are Commoners (5)

“Hi, sister.”

“Hello, my brother.”

Tania Ergenuc’s older sister, Elysee Ergenuc.

She is the leader of the Ergenuc Knights, inheriting most of the actual power from her father, Dante Ergenuc, who was suffering from an illness, and was also an agent of the royal license.

Since the Ergenuke family and the royal family have a close relationship, even without permission from the royal family, if Elysee Ergenuke signs the warrior’s license under the authority of the head of the family, it is equivalent to automatically obtaining permission from the royal family.

She was just as dignified, and Elise was one of the strongest swordsmen in the continent.

There was even a rumor going around that just saying Elise’s name to a crying child would make it stop.

It only worked for girls, and when I told a boy of the age I knew everything about Elise that she was coming, she didn’t stop crying, but suddenly got her hair done.

Because Elise was also famous for her beautiful knights.

“I heard that you were coming, but I didn’t expect you to come this late at night. Is there something urgent?”

“It’s not urgent, you know. In order for the expedition to move, the permission of many people is required. So she came to get permission as soon as possible.”

“Yes.”

Elise nodded her head in understanding.

“Isn’t the expedition difficult? I think you said it last time, but I don’t like the hero….”

“… Oh yeah, it was But, that’s a little bit.”

“It’s probably because the hero is a commoner, so even the royal family talks about this and that to me.”

“What, talk… ?”

“Um…. From the words that they had to go through the qualification examination again, they asked if it was right for the nobles to assist commoners, no matter how brave they were. It’s usually in the form of a complaint, so it’s not a formal inquiry.”

“Yeah, but I was chosen by the goddess…. Because he’s a hero, and the royal family needs an expedition, right? It’s not always possible to stop demons only with the power of the goddess, so I guess I’ll need some help….”

“I already said that. However….”

“Huh?”

“… Well, no Can I get along these days?”

“Then I have to work harder.”

Elise looked at Tania, whose opinions had changed considerably from last week, with a curious look, but thought she might have a change of heart and ignored it.

With her arms bent inward, she said that Elise and Tania should have become a hero, even though she always thought that way.

Behind her thoughts, she said that because she herself was not under the anchor’s restraint, she believed that Tania was under the anchor’s restraint.

She also heard her guilt that she was partly responsible for her failure to become her hero.

Elise finished signing the document, the tip of which was still on her, and stood up with her pen standing beside her, slowly opening her arms to Tania.

“Come here, let’s hug each other.”

“… I am not some child.”

“Are you younger than me or an adult? Hurry.”

“… ….”

Tania slowly walked in front of Elise and was embraced by her.

Tania, who is slightly shorter than Elise, hugged her sister face to face, feeling her warm embrace.

The Ergeneuk sisters were on good terms. It was not common in aristocratic families, which were in chaos due to machinations and transfer of power.

So, perhaps naturally, Tania’s negative thoughts about being a hero were also shared more deeply than others. Most of the cases were Tania injecting into Elise unilaterally.

“Sister, I…. I want to participate in the subjugation of Caulcasus.”

“…… This time?”

“Yes, it should be this time.”

Elise slightly separated Tania, who had been tightly locked in her arms, and faced her face. Elise’s expression mixed with bewilderment, and Tania’s face revealing her determination that she knew it.

“It’s good to follow Tania, but there’s also the next subjugation….”

“… ….”

“Moonlight Caucasus, that’s right. Is it because of the essence of the moon?”

Elise, who naturally thought of the taboo, recalled the essence of the moon, which was rumored that she could break the taboo.

It was as Tania intended.

Even if I tell her now that she needs Colcassian leather, I can’t explain why.

How can I say, I know the future?

Rumors would circulate that Ergenuk’s youngest daughter was mentally ill because she couldn’t stand her restraint.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

So Tania said that.

Having unintentionally cheated on her sister, Tania felt her conscience pricked, but she couldn’t help it.

I’m sorry, sister.

But she can only be of help to Ellen if she participates in the subjugation.

“… Tania, it’s embarrassing to get the essence of the moon, but it’s not easy even for me, who is said to be the best swordsman on the continent. How can you defeat Moonlight Caucasus, where the heart is the source of magic, without causing any damage to the heart?”

“I know, I don’t want to ask her sister. I don’t want to ask you to do such an unreasonable strategy, just, just…. I’ll watch over you from the side, so can’t you just take me with you?”

“…… It’s dangerous though….”

Should Elise be relieved, should she be pressured, or should she be hugged?

She let out a long sigh as she couldn’t decide what to do.

She said that she was just watching her, so her worries subsided.

I was worried about the fact that her younger brother was participating in an unsafe subjugation war.

“Sister, listen. If the expedition goes out, Saint El will go with her, so the Knights of Erantel will come, and Elish will go too, so the magic priests corps of the hemp tower will come too? And they’ll protect us, there’s never going to be a problem with our safety. It is not so?”

“Yes, but….”

If the two knights were protecting the expedition, it was obvious that they wouldn’t even be able to touch the hair of the expedition, whether it’s the moonlit Caucasus or whatever.

Corcasus itself was not a threatening monster, it was just a high level of difficulty to obtain useful rewards.

Rather than threatening, it’s a tricky monster.

“Then, you really have to be careful…… ?”

Elise decided that then, there was nothing she couldn’t take.

And before she goes to the subjugation battle, she thinks that she should take care of Tania to the hero.

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. I have prepared everything.”

A prayer room.

A quiet, no, quiet atmosphere.

The elegant candle that was the only one that lit up the prayer room was already lined up next to it, illuminating the inside more brightly.

With a proud expression on her face, Elish took out a notebook from her pocket and held it.

In the prayer room that was quiet with only EL and me, an ashen-haired sorceress intervenes and creates a fuss.

Actually, if I were to follow the flow of time, I made a noise between the floors to hit EL on the head, and Elish, who woke up at the sound, hesitated and came down to the prayer room.

Well, if I am, that’s it.

“What is it?”

“These are the rules.”

“Rules?”

Elish opened her old-fashioned notebook and showed it to the people in front of her, and started explaining her story line by line.

The audience is me and EL.

Elish is misunderstanding.

The fight between EL and I.

So Elish is saying that considering Ellen’s weak state of mind and body, she has come up with the rules to make his mind ‘open-minded’.

“No matter how Ellen is, isn’t she a very ordinary person who in the past had a meal alone without a single friend? If she had no friends, she could be said to be on the level of a great wizard.”

“… ….”

Now that I’ve heard it, it’s a bit strange?

“His solitary history didn’t change much even after he became a party. In other words, the present upheaval is a burden to Ellen, who has never received a warm glance from the opposite s*x.”

“… ….”

Now that I’ve heard it, it’s a bit much, isn’t it?

El nodded his head.

I wanted to ask where you agree so much.

Elish looked at me once and then spoke again.

“In other words, without friends….”

“If you talk to your friends one more time, I will go home.”

“… Since there are three of us, I thought it would be appropriate to start by sharing roles with Ellen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and eating together. Everything has to start from the basics.”

“That is true. Then I don’t have to sleep overnight anymore?”

“Yes. If you approach Ellen like that, she will soften her sharp temper, just like Ellen did with her cat.”

“What the hell is that….”

After Elish’s speech, which was useless from beginning to end, I lay down on the round table with my arm as a pillow.

What the hell did the future me do to make those ferocious guys change like that?

Can’t you tell me the secret?

I think I’ll make a lot of money even if I beat the warrior and do couples counseling.
