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

67 – Tiffania’s End

“Faust ugh!!! ugh!!! How many more times do I have to say hehehe!!! If I can’t forgive you, I’m done! They say that they will be abandoned by their compatriots and have nowhere to go!!”

Tiffania screamed, tearing at her long ears.

I hated and resented the indifferent and ruthless Faust.

Still, he tried to somehow get his mind back by apologizing, but Faust’s face contorted.

At first, I thought the tears were blurring my vision.

However, no matter how much I wiped my eyes, my sight did not return.

On the contrary, the phenomenon of astigmatism was so severe that even Faust’s expression could not be seen.

“Ah, that’s right. I heard this from Misha.”

Faust’s voice.

Or is it really Faust’s voice?

It echoes like it resonates in a cave, so I don’t know.

“You elves are said to be made of the blessings of the World Tree from head to toe? If you are banished from the elven world, your blessings will be cut off, and as a result, you will be blind.”

He turned his head toward the source of the voice, but Faust was nowhere to be seen.

Not only Faust, nothing is visible.

darkness.

it’s pitch dark

It was as if someone had turned off the lights in the world.

“I can’t hear you,”

“Faust ?! Faust?! Why do you stop talking?! Faust!! where are you?! Say something!!!”

Tiffania looked around with a frightened face.

Even though Faust was standing right in front of him, he didn’t recognize him and painfully called his name.

“Faust please! Answer me if you are there! Please, I’m so scared!!”

“A deal that won’t even use magic. I heard that you will have less mana than humans who have never learned magic. Oh, can’t you hear me anyway?”

“Faust!! Say something!!! please please!!! ugh… What is this. Why can’t I hear anything and see nothing? Where the hell is this place? Where have you all gone? Anyone is welcome, please… Try replying.”

overwhelming fear.

Tiffania was frightened as she clenched her teeth as if she was getting cold, but she immediately remembered the coordinates.

I haven’t learned how to get to the coordinates, but if I could reproduce the sensations I felt while being dragged there a few times… I focused my mind on the idea.

“If something is wrong with your body, you will see your eyes again in the spirit world!”

Entering the coordinates, Tiffania was able to see the sight, not the darkness, as she wanted.

An ominous landscape awaited, a wilderness of dry reeds and a rotting world tree.

“to… ? What is this? Why the World Tree?”

＜Here are distorted coordinates. you are not an elf The real coordinates cannot be reached.＞

“uh? Who is this voice?”

＜I am the will of the world tree. There is no blessing of the World Tree for non-elves. You will neither see nor hear anything from now on. Even showing this distorted landscape is the last time.＞

“What is that? Me, how am I supposed to live?!”

＜That’s not what I know. The only way for you to return to the arms of the World Tree is to be forgiven by the one who banished you.＞

“To Faust?! Faust again?! I already did enough to apologize—”

Soon, even that desolate landscape disappeared, and pitch-black darkness returned.

“aaa!! I’m scared! I’m scared!!! Par, Faust?! No Faust! master!! Are you there? Are you there?!”

Faust stood right in front of Tiffania.

To a place where you can reach if you stretch out your hand.

However, Tiffania, who had become blind, struggled to move one step at a time as if walking a tightrope toward the wrong place.

“master… ? Are you the owner? He, please stop fooling around and forgive Tiffania. anything… I’ll do anything. please… Please don’t leave me alone… please forgive me. I was all wrong. I, I just… I thought that the status of the elves would rise only when they looked good to the hero.”

Tiffania was sheltering in an empty space.

“So, to be honest, entering the hero’s party… I-I must have been conceited. For the first time, I was able to live on an equal footing with humans, so I thought I was something… And, if you bully Faust like Kwak Dong-soo does, I feel like I’ve entered a special inner circle… ”

“You’re fucking.”

Faust punched the elf in the side with his fist.

“Ugh!!”

Tiffania grabbed her ribs and rolled over.

“Oooh!! Uweee!!!”

The damage was great enough to cause nausea.

“Stop shaking and go away. How long will I have to deal with only you? Despair forever wandering the world. That is the destiny that lies ahead of you.”

“Ouch… ugh… ”

Faust’s words were inaudible to the deaf.

However, Tiffania roughly recognized who had hit her by the feel of her fist and realized that she could not be forgiven by him.

However, it was impossible to live alone now that I had lost my eyes and ears.

I definitely need someone’s help to survive with this level of disability.

Someone to take care of you by your side.

“… Ah, Alice… ?”

Tiffania called her best friend by name. In a very kind and servile voice.

“Alice… ? Are you listening? me, help me please… i’m so scared can’t live alone Alice… we are friends… ”

“friend?! You’re laughing! When will you sell me out! Just get lost!!”

Alice raised her middle finger and stuck out her tongue.

“Beatrice… ? Beatrice? you are a saint… ? Hey, can you pretend you don’t know me, who is so pitiful? please… Help me. No, you should be nice to Faust. me… I’m really sorry Anything for Faust… no, that’s right You can serve Faust with your body every night. Tell him I’m giving my whole body to him. Uh, I won’t deny any play.”

“How am I supposed to tell you such disgusting words? In the first place, who pretended not to know me being burned at the stake in the first place? It’s a punishment that suits you, so take it sweetly.”

Tiffania called out each name she could think of and asked for help.

Even the awkward people who only know the name mentioned it with a feeling of grabbing straw, but the response was zero.

Among the numerous people gathered at Al Nain, none of them stepped forward to help Tiffania.

“who… please someone… ah… Ahh… .aaa!!! Just one please… no one… don’t you have Is there no one? Ahhh… ”

Sad tears streamed down both cheeks.

“There is no one… me… It’s bullying… ha ha ha… Faust… Can you forgive me even now… Master please… I’ll do anything. I really don’t mind playing with my body as I please. I’ll do anything, okay? Please accept me as a slave please… ”

Tiffania, a girl who has lived to improve the social status of elves who have been reduced to slavery, wants to become someone’s slave, so she uses her body to seduce them.

Tiffania fell until she fell.

Faust ignored her until the end.

“I am the owner… please forgive me… Forgive me… Where are you in now? I was absolutely wrong. This is the year I will kill. I’m the asshole.… please… please forgive me… ”

Tiffania went to the wrong place and apologized to Faust.

The elf just kept walking. Because I’m anxious when I’m standing still

“I’m sorry, master… please forgive me… please forgive me… ”

It was left to guess that he had already distanced himself from Faust, but he did not stop apologizing.

The journey of a blind and deaf woman alone was hell.

People beat and kicked Tiffania for fun, threw peppercorns in her nostrils to make her sneeze, and broke her limbs for no reason and played with her.

Some hot-blooded bullies even attacked Tiffania on the road at night and made fun of her body.

Even though Tiffania was defiled, insulted, and her soul ripped out, only two things did not stop her.

walking and apologizing.

“I am the owner… forgive… please… ”

An apple soaked in inertia.

An apple that just pops out without a soul was just a habit.

Tiffania’s apology, which continued through Alnain, to another city, and another country, ended when she was found and lynched by elves while passing through a forest.

“This guy is the shame of the elf who bullied the master!”

“no! He’s not even an elf!”

“Kill! Kill them!!”

Tiffania’s body, already exhausted from the arduous march, could not stand the fierce kicks of the elves and crumbled like clay.

“Faust… I’m really sorry… This time it’s not just what I’m trying to live for. I was bullied myself, so I know how painful this is… You must have felt this way too… I’m sorry, Faust. Now I know why you never forgave me. How could an apology that didn’t come from the depths of your heart, because you just wanted to live without knowing what you’d done wrong, could comfort your heart? yes. No wonder it wasn’t forgiven. If we meet again in another world… At that time, I will apologize, not just an apology, but a real one… not… Bye… ”

Only in the last moment of her life did Tiffania utter a sincere apology and die.

After hearing Tiffania’s will through the coordinates, Mischa conveyed the situation at the time to the owner, and Faust responded with a subtle response of “Ah, is that so?”

He allowed Tiffania’s body to be buried in the sacred meadow where the World Tree was planted.

Euphonia was sincerely grateful to Faust that her daughter could be absorbed as part of the world tree even after death, and it is said that the other elves admired the generous treatment.

In Alnain, where Tiffania left, another woman was waiting for Faust’s judgment.

Saint Beatrice, whose lower body had begun to burn vigorously as the fire had already moved to the pole, broke into a cold sweat and spoke to Faust with difficulty.

“Huh… Heo-eok… Par, Faust. Could you drop me off?”

“why me?”

Faust asked with sincere curiosity.
