Episode 51. Modern (1)
Chapter 51. Hyundai(1)
Only once.
The moment I blinked my eyelids, the whole world collapsed. Like a midsummer night’s dream. I feel like I’m saying that the things I’ve been through so far didn’t actually exist.
“… Brother?”
Tears flowed again from the big eyes of Yoo In-na. The hand that had been holding him until just now could not grasp anything. Even the slightest warmth.
“… No.”
Really? How. How can there be no trace?!
This reality. Yuin I couldn’t accept her at all. She seemed to have to admit that even his corpse was gone, that he was a high-ranking monster.
“Are you lying? You ran away like last time.”
Please show up. Brother.
“If you show up even now. Huh. I can understand.”
Let’s solve it together. Huh? There might be a way. Please don’t judge by yourself.
Maybe. It’s something a miracle might happen.
[SYSTEM: Killed ‘Incubus’.]
My head goes blank at the phrase in the status window that pops up. A cloud of dust stung her eyeballs, but she couldn’t close them.
[SYSTEM: You have subdued all high level monsters including the Demon King.]
•
[SYSTEM: Congratulations! You are the Hero Who saved the empire.]
“… hahahaha. It’s real.”
Heroes are horny. In the end, the cruel letters that he has no choice but to accept. In the end, you have to accept this damn reality.
“Lies!! Admit this?! Ah. Did you see it!!”
He pounded the floor with his clenched fist. His knees and legs were numb when he sat down, but what does that matter?
When I raised my stiff head, the closed castle wall was wide open before I knew it. Startled by the disgusting smell, I looked around and saw the dead bodies of monsters.
“Hero!!”
“Are you okay?! I will use the healing magic right away.”
“What the hell happened?!”
Colleagues asking themselves. I wanted to say something, but my lips parted.
“… That, the monster has disappeared.”
Ailee, who glanced at Yoo In-na, murmured softly. Of course, it was natural that her heart broke at her words.
I don’t understand. Why did her brother make that choice?
I didn’t want that choice.

No. Even if she didn’t wield the holy sword herself.
“… What about you, Bocchan?”
A rough woman’s voice. Her red hair filled her vision at the same time as the faint scent of her roses.
“Ha. Wait for a sec. No way? Isn’t it?!”
Jane’s pupils shake violently when she sees Yoo In-na’s face ruined by her tears. A huge scythe fell to the ground, making a clanking noise.
“Ha. Under.”
Jane laughs dejectedly, as if it is absurd. All of her facial expressions go back and forth several times along with her flushed white skin.
“Hey, don’t be ridiculous. Do you think our young master will die lightly? That’s a bad guy.”
Trembling white fingers pull her cigar out of her pocket. A cloud of white smoke rose along the wind in the air.
“Ha. Ha. Uh? The guy who paid off that many debts ran away like this? Dare.”
Jane muttered in disbelief. It was all to herself, but her quivering voice revealed her feelings.
Puff-!!
“Hey, wake up!! Lila, are you really okay?!”
“It’s noisy. You’re doing it now The hero’s condition was fine.”
Is it because of the rapid emotional consumption and accumulated fatigue? To the cries of her peers.
The hero who saved the world, Yuin I lost her mind.
⁕⁕⁕
After the subjugation of the incubus, the warrior party moved into the territory temporarily ruled by Lee Seong-hyun. I was embarrassed to see the monsters that occasionally existed, but they didn’t attack them anymore.
Did he instinctively realize that the boss had been defeated?
The warrior party also didn’t kill them. I had no will to fight, unless I had to fight first.
Actually, they didn’t know. Before Lee Seong-hyeon’s death, the last order he gave to the monster corps.
“… But what about this castle? Come to think of it, was it originally there?”
Of course not. At Ailee’s curious question, Elina just closed her mouth and guessed.
Because I’ve never heard of such a report. So it must have been the man who built it.
A well-paved road. Well built castles and shelters. Colorful buildings.
“Uh. Is this right?”
“Really, it is different from what I expected.”
The inside of the estate, which I thought was miserable, took on a very different form. The warrior party had no choice but to stare at the street in a daze.
At that moment, the village bell rang.
Deng. Deng! Deng!!
Unbelievable things started to happen. It was such a shock that everyone including Elina opened their mouths.
People walking out of each building and house one by one. The curtains on the windows are removed one by one.
“… I thought he must have died.”
Someone on the team murmured softly. It is even estimated to be similar to the population recorded in the imperial family.
In other words, the rumored massacre did not exist.
“Are you a warrior party?!”
A question from a woman approaching with a child. For some reason, it was difficult to read the expressions of the villagers who seemed anxious.
“That’s right. Everyone, you can rest assured now.”
“If you are sick, I will treat you right away.”
Siena shouted in a loud voice. Layla, a saint with healing powers, also added her words. But why do I feel that people’s reactions are not good?
“… Excuse me.”
“Yes. Do you need anything?”
Sienna asked the woman with a calm attitude. But the answer I heard was shocking.
“Hey, where is the lord?”
“Right. That handsome brother, where did you go?”
Hearing the question, Elina’s expression crumpled mercilessly. That would be too.
“… I know the lord of this place is a woman.”
I judge it by the word ‘brother’ of a young boy. The lord they are talking about must be a ‘male’.
For a moment, it seemed like time had stopped. Elina’s eyes, which had been flinching slightly, hardened slightly.
Did they really consider Lee Seong-hyeon to be their lord?
When everyone was thinking about what to say, Elina struggled to open her mouth first.
“… Did he treat you well?”
“Ah. Sure. The existing lord year is such a trash person.”
The woman who was surprised even after her own words said, ‘Ouch’ and covered her mouth with the palm of her hand. Elina’s face turns red as if her private parts were caught.
Unknowingly, the little boy added her words with delight.
“Right. Give my brother something to eat. I even made a playground with my Orc sisters!!”
Elina looked up at the sky as she heard the conversation getting quieter. Under the sky without him.
You have done more than Jim.
A lot.
“That. The lord is dead.”
A thin voice coming from behind. In contrast to her pretty face, her voice was heavy.
It was Jane.
The monsters’ blood dripped onto the floor from the huge scythe she held. It would not look good for civilians or children to see.
“Didn’t I tell you to wipe it and come in?”
“When you say nice things. Don’t care about that.”
She wasn’t originally her nice personality, but she was more of a nervous woman. She asks after Jane roughly splatters the dripping blood.
“… Bocchan, no. Where is the mansion where the lord lived?”
“That’s where my older brother lived.”
The place where the child’s fern-like finger points. Except for the hero who was carried on his back, everyone in the party looked towards it.

Not a bad looking building. It is set high, so it can be seen as a small-sized mansion.
“Go there. And….”
Before Elina’s instructions were finished, Jane moved toward her mansion first. Although there is no reason why she should listen to her own commands in the first place.
Ignoring Jane going ahead, Elina stared at the buildings. She puts her trembling heartbeat behind her and moves her steps.
Where he stayed.
That alone would mean a lot.
“Is the hero okay?”
“I’m just exhausted.”
A conversation between team members. Yoo In-na, who was sitting on Sienna’s back, seemed to be sleeping very soundly.
The afterimage of Yoo In-na, who was screaming before she collapsed, is faint. In the awkward atmosphere, they moved their legs steadily.
People watching the warrior party passing by. I felt a strange sense of incongruity in the whispers whispered here and there.
There were also people hanging out with monsters on some street corners. A strange sight that I have never seen before.
“… I don’t understand. Is that possible?”
Lila muttered, shaking her head. Beautiful silver hair flutters in the air.
“I don’t know. But it might have been possible.”
Elina shook her head and answered. She was not even aware of the tiny smile she had.
The mansion was not too far away. No. Actually, it was quite far away, but I just didn’t feel that way.
The warrior party moved into the mansion. Then, as if waiting, a green goblin approaches.
“Kieek? Kiruruk!!”
When I entered the room, I saw a goblin. The air that had been oppressing them suddenly became heavy.
On the other hand, the monster welcomed the warrior party with a cry. Some of the team members, who hastily prepared for battle, slowly laid down their weapons.
“… ….”
The reason was clear. The goblin that greeted me was harmless. Rather, it was the perfect housewife wearing an apron.
Rather, it was the stairs that caught Elina’s sight. I left the chattering party behind and headed upstairs as if possessed.
There was a study at the end of the hallway upstairs. It may have been the space used by the previous lord.
Maybe. The space where you stayed.
Dreuk.
Elina pulled on the doorknob of her study with her trembling hand. It might be locked, she thought, but she was open.
The moment she opened the door, the pleasant scent soothed her anxious heart. When she entered the study, she was able to sit down leaning against the door.
“You.”
At last, water droplets dripping.
“Ah. Ah.”
The emperor, the mother of the empire,
Elena, an ordinary woman,
It was only now that I was able to shed hot tears.
