I’m Not a Hero Like You

87 – 29. Does having nothing mean not being able to do it?

Disappearing.

No sound. The world too. Sensation too. Consciousness too.

Squeezing pain all over the body.

Even though I couldn’t do anything thanks to the death-like pain.

… Now, everything felt distant, like a story from a distant dream.

“Isn’t there really no Daum now?”

The girl in front of you.

The girl made of combs of gold was as calm as if it were someone else’s business.

In spite of this dark question, there was no change in her complexion.

“They say that even if the sky collapses, there is a hole that will spring up anywhere.”

“… ….”

With that mouth of hers, well and brazenly.

“I’ve said it from the beginning, but she doesn’t make excuses for knowing what she doesn’t know. I just said I know what I know. What does that mean? That information was different from what I knew, that’s what it means.”

“… So take care of yourself? Is it your responsibility to believe and follow those words?”

“No. I’m not that mean Besides, this doesn’t violate the terms of the contract, but based on my thoughts, I’ve judged that it could be so, so I’ll stop watching for now.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not that I’m going to break through the crisis for you, but I can find a solution and point it out. A serious hunsu? What?”

… Come now?

The body that could be used was also broken.

The guy who insists on killing me right away is a monster that anyone else would dare to do, father.

“But don’t overlook the fact that there was a girl who came to help you in the end. If you hadn’t endured even for that short period of time, even that help would have been meaningless.”

“… ….”

“Even those with power tend to overlook that it is a tool after all. The moment that power disappears, those who have solved the problem with it alone become fools in an instant.”

“… Even if you say it well, isn’t it the same as a waste in the end?”

The result does not change no matter where and how it is packaged.

“Rather, consider it as an opportunity. Opportunities like this aren’t common, are they?”

“Even if it’s someone else’s business….”

“Then it’s someone else’s job, is it mine? But don’t forget to relax completely. Because it’s not absolute that I’m giving advice. Well, it will be approximate to the absolute.”

Then, about what to do first.

“What did that damn holy sword say? Have I already told you everything? Did you say you gave me a rat?”

“… ….”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a problem that can be mobilized right away… Let’s lead the situation on the premise that it can’t be like that. I don’t deserve it when salvation comes from heaven or earth out of nowhere. Suddenly hidden latent power explodes or awakens and becomes stronger? Isn’t the world so easygoing?”

So let’s rule out that uncertain element.

“If there is not enough information, just acquire more information. Ask the Holy Sword again. And think carefully about what they say. They hear a prophecy or something that says they’ll be chosen, and they think you’re the main character. Is not it?”

“… ….”

“It’s not bad to imagine yourself being forced to hold it, but you and I know better than anyone else that it’s impossible. The will that resides in the Holy Sword must be the same.”

Then the problem.

“Find out what the people who do it want and expect, and use it. What if you can’t help yourself right away? You should borrow the power of others.”

“That….”

“Isn’t that the same tool? Are you particularly nervous?”

I’m not saying it’s wrong.

… That’s not the right word.

“I’ll sort things out first.”

The fact that I came to the dream world must mean that I lost consciousness in real life.

“Thanks to the kind lady who came to help you, it bought me a little time.”

Soon, the people who were in the air a while ago unfold like reality, like a moving picture.

… I’ve seen it so many times that it’s not that different now.

“But that time will be at most a few hours.”

Was it Vargo?

Of course it would be nice if he handled me himself.

If only you could use the villagers to take care of me without getting your hands dirty.

… This would be a good thing in a different way.

“Those who have real insecurities are demanding your recruits.”

The scene moves again.

A familiar building.

Chapter.

The villagers gathered at the entrance, and a small number of people blocked it.

Ruines, Ruirin, and Leo and the others… A few unknowns were mixed in.

Wolves and some dwarves.

Not all of them were wearing only iron protection, but they were equipped with quite solid armaments.

“In the Empire, it would be impossible to invade in this way, but unfortunately, from the perspective of the Church of Irenis, this is a pagan land.”

That’s why they’re openly putting pressure on them as if they’re going to stage an armed demonstration at any time in front of the chapel.

This was Ruirin, and it looked like Leo and the others were holding it back well.

And on the inside?

“It was a girl named Ruines who first treated you.”

“You mean her?”

It didn’t look like it had a separate divine power.

In the first place, that divine power was the standard of the Empire.

Outside, it is called white magic, but black magic is the opposite of black magic.

And the magic placed in the middle of it, refers to the magic that is commonly spoken and used externally, and the nature and type used to be classified by attributes and colors.

“But as you know, your body is not something that can be restored by such things.”

That guy.

If your mother, Ermina, had been by her side, she would have been cured in an absurdly proud manner.

“That’s why I’m mobilizing drugs. But the drug is probably slower than that.”

“Can I wake up?”

“If you want, right away.”

Anyway, do you know what happened?

“Why did you back out after Vargo?”

“I was bluffed.”

The scene changes again, and it returns to the previous location.

Kariel herself staggered, dripping her blood from her mouth, nose, and even from her eyes, as if she were going to lose consciousness at any moment.

She is a woman with a sharp intent to kill in a cool smile, smiling at Vargo without paying attention to Kariel.

She said.

Aren’t you and I expecting that sword over there to be pulled out?

Seize the initiative with your skills for a while, then remind yourself of the purpose and intention of coming here.

Of course, the author’s will to punish Cariel himself seemed firm.

From noble mtl dot com

… The potential of a woman who even ventured into a counterattack without being pushed back even an inch seemed to have no end in sight.

Put it on, and the fact that he didn’t know her also worked.

Also, rumors, notoriety, and reputation are usually another helper to support you.

Above all, that person is the one called the last corps commander.

… Since he is the head of an organization, not a single person, he must not throw his body recklessly.

Besides.

“Taking hostages also worked.”

While he was a human being and he condoned killing the villagers, he incapacitated Vargo’s men and promised a peaceful transfer of recruits.

“It was not a single tactic, but a multitude of tricks, so he got through to his intentions.”

Of course, I wonder what it would have been like if the author had gone crazy here.

“But, as I said, it’s a bluff.”

I forced them to retreat.

Then, the woman promptly sat down.

“This is the aftermath of forcibly pulling her physical abilities for a while.”

The demon king pointed to his head and said.

“That….”

“It is true that Venus is more delicate than the one used by children, but the difference seems to be extreme in terms of endurance.”

Thanks to that, she didn’t lie down, and she became as sick as Kariel.

And Venus, who was watching this, was grinding her teeth as if she was terribly dissatisfied.

“That’s healthy.”

“Sometimes, abnormal people like that appear in the world.”

Beyond the healthy level, it would be safe to say that he is just a superman at this point.

“Now, when the situation is like this. How were you about to make a breakthrough? Oh, don’t be depressed because you don’t know. As I said before… I’ll give you good advice.”

“… Is there any way?”

“A lot. Very.”

I can’t believe it.

If you think it’s good, is it really going to come out of nowhere?

“Isn’t it a bad idea to fight with force?”

“Even if you suddenly awaken your hidden power, considering your physical condition, you will die right away.”

She said in passing.

“You practically used up most of your lifeline just to survive. Now, it won’t be strange if I die anytime.”

“… ….”

“Why are you so obediently trusting me? Looking at it this way, that crooked Venus is way better than you in terms of attitude.”

“… What do you mean?”

“No matter how plausible my words are, if it goes against your will, don’t accept it and resist it. You didn’t stray here to live with common sense, did you?”

“Is it possible to deal with the problem of lifespan with willpower?”

“I don’t know. Until you do.”

Sometimes, it’s really strange.

“Even though the last time I saw him, he was going to die soon, but that poisonous thing endured and endured to the end, and there are often people who survive to the end.”

“… ….”

“If you fail anyway, even if you hate it, you will search. But is it necessary to bring one’s own death and accept it? Well, I would have let you take revenge, I don’t know if I won’t be able to die soon.”

“… ….”

I did have a grudge.

All of a sudden, even that felt like a long way away.

“Or will you hold out until your father comes? Is that the best way for everyone right now?”

“… That’s troublesome.”

“Isn’t the response quick again here?”

As expected, that is the factor that works the most.

Why are offspring and children so tied to their parents?

Whether it’s love or resentment.

Whether it’s resentment or affection.

Sometimes because of that, they throw whole lives into and out of it.

I just want to relieve the resentment I felt towards them.

I want to satisfy the affection I received from them in some way.

“Clean up your thoughts. I’ll be busy after waking up. Oh, don’t worry. I’ll give you detailed instructions.”

She assured me with a grin.

“If you use your tongue well, things like the world will quickly become a mess. If it sounds fun, it’s a problem because my hobby is nasty.”

The girl who said that and smiled brightly.

Really, she was showing off a blooming smile like a girl her age, as if she hadn’t had any malice.

… For me who knew the truth, I got goosebumps inside.

Is this a mere bluff?

Or really.

Is she capable of making fun of the world just by borrowing her own mouth?

“Ah, but don’t misunderstand the options. If I clumsily revealed my existence… Even if you survive here, you will soon become a continental hero.”

What~ If you listen to the story.

It seems that half of it has already happened.

“Someone who benefits from it, someone who gets what they want will soon appear.”

And then.

Unreasonable contracts and unreasonable offers could be made in the name of a rope.

“In a form that I am very reluctant to say no to.”

The Demon King says.

“Because it is entirely up to you to go against this flow and destroy their intentions, or to focus on surviving and act. Stay alert.”

“… You make a long speech that will end soon.”

“After you wake up, you won’t have time to listen to anything comfortably.”

I know you’ve been through it too often.

“If you were in that condition, you wouldn’t be able to listen to me as comfortably as you do now.”

“… ….”

Maybe.

From the moment I woke up, the terrible pain that squeezed my whole body and collapsed would eat away at my will and consciousness.

Maybe something really ugly and sloppy.

“… ….”

And that.

It must mean another ending, not living.

[Didn’t you already receive everything?]

The words the holy sword had said came to my mind.

Is this all received?

I am aware that I received it, but is it all?

“… ….”

I don’t know.

What I didn’t realize.

And those who realized that.

… Maybe we can solve this situation quickly.
