I Became the Hero Who Banished the Protagonist chapter 19

19. one step (1)

Mage, Nella Tarr.

A wizard who has reached the end of Circle 5 and near the end of Circle 6, and was praised as a genius in the Mage Tower. She is talented in destructive magic, and while Arjen and Illroy were in charge of the big ones on the battlefield, Nella took on the role of burning the small monsters. Georg was, well, no different from a human wall, and Isis took cover behind him and treated the injured member.

… Up to this point, it’s a well-balanced party with Deal, Tank, and Heal, but in reality it was a little different. Arjen and Illroy were at odds, and Isis sometimes took Arjen’s side, and Nella took the position of a warrior and bullied Isis and Arjen. Georg just kept his silence.

And, it wasn’t long before Illroy and Isis left the party in the original story.

“Why are you so slow to catch them! Weren’t you prepared to cut Arjen? Aren’t you a warrior!”

“If I continue like this, I will die without even seeing the toes of disaster.”

“If this is the case, why didn’t you capture the saintess? Did you get Arjen out of the party?”

“Why can’t you fight half as much as Arjen!”

The appearance of Nella shivering with the hero was nowhere to be seen, and only dissatisfaction remained as a party member. It was a time when he and Illroy often caused friction. Right before the battle for the fifth plague, Nella Tar unilaterally tells Illroy that she will leave the party, leaves the party, and leaves to fight Arjen, who defeated the fourth plague.

And, unfortunately, the hero party is annihilated in the fifth catastrophe attack.

If Arjen and Isis are not at the party, there is no reason to bring them. Someone who does more harm than good to the party. I didn’t have the time to think of a place to rehabilitate. The only person I was growing up with was Daphne.

“If she sees Daphne, Nella will probably be furious. If it’s her character, her ego will be hurt.”

Two days ago, Georg, who went to work early in the morning, told me that. I shrugged and was drinking tea peacefully. It rained for several days, then it gradually cleared.

“What are you going to do?”

“It would be right to respect her will. If Nella continues to stay in the warrior party as her intention, it will create good synergy with Daphne, but if she says no… .”

know? I looked at Georg with those eyes. Georg sighed as the ground disappeared.

“Arjen, next to Isis is Nella.”

“He seems to think Nella won’t stay at the party.”

“You know that she’s not the type to say she’ll stay, right? And Illroy, you won’t be trying to catch someone like that.”

I know a little bit. I nodded. What is this kid so proud of? Georg fired those eyes at me, but then shook his head. After the last hearing, Georg’s gaze at me was no longer annoyed, only some doubts remained.

“Does Daphne really think she can fill Nella’s void?”

No matter how damned his personality was, he was a wizard who was on the verge of reaching the 6th Circle, the minimum qualification for a Tower Master at a young age. It might not be as good as Arjen and Isis, but it wouldn’t have been easy to find a replacement for Nella either. Except me, of course.

“uh. i believe I recruited him with the determination to take responsibility until the end.”

And, because I had no doubt that Daphne would one day completely break down that wall and shine brightly with me, I was able to answer Georg firmly. Georg narrowed his brows and crossed his arms. It was his usual habit when doubts arose.

“… yes. We will find out soon.”

And time goes by and now again.

“Is today Nella’s return day?”

Georg let out a sigh. Even in the midst of this, the mage’s footsteps continued to draw closer. I put my chin on my chin and nodded.

thump.

The footsteps finally reached the door, and Nella slammed the door open with a burst of force and entered the office. I heard poor Daphne backing away little by little.

Kwadang-!!

Nella Tarr stared at the office with the door wide open. At first he looked at me with hateful eyes, then at Daphne with even more burning eyes, and finally at Georg.

“Explain what the situation is now.”

overbearing voice. Georg closed his eyes as if he had a headache. Daphne looked at me hesitantly, and I calmly told Nella the answer.

“I recruited a wizard. Her name is Daphne Epiphone. 4th circle now… .”

Nella cut me off and yelled again.

“therefore! Why did you bring the wizard again? A wizard named me remains here in your party with his eyes wide open, for what reason!”

“As for outstanding talent, the more there are in the party, the better. I had to fill the void between Arjen and Isis.”

“Why do wizards fill the vacancy of those bitches? Don’t you have to pick up the swordsman that is rolling around somewhere? That kind of year, what? Pick it up as a talent?”

Nella let out a long breath.

“Get it out right now. close your eyes for once Or if that bitch has a clue, she’ll walk out of here.”

Nella growled and moved slowly in Daphne’s direction.

“I can’t.”

“What?”

Nella stopped and let out a hollow laugh. Its eyes opened sharply and began to stare back and forth between Daphne and me. Then, he glared at me again with a mixed expression of various emotions. Disappointment, anger, irritation and jealousy.

“You fell for that bitch. Warrior. When was the last time you flirted with a saint, did you find a new bitch right away? You’re not even a horny bastard, what are you doing, this?”

It was heartbreaking. It’s such a provocation or an insult that touches my temper, I heard it right after I fell into this world, and since then I’ve heard it dozens or hundreds of times, and now it’s nothing like a greeting.

However, it seems that Daphne, who was quietly listening to this conversation behind me, did not.

“What did you say now?”

Daphne’s cool voice, which I had never heard before, came from the back of my shoulder.

—

The day after Illroy fully recovered from his injuries.

Recovery was much faster than expected. Daphne was worried that Illroy was overdoing it, but Illroy responded by holding the holy sword with his right arm and swinging it around. A bandage that is no longer wrapped around the arm. Then, recalling her handwriting written on it, Daphne followed Illroy to the outskirts of the capital again.

“From today, instead of using protection magic on me, let’s focus more on defeating monsters with your destructive magic.”

Illroy said that and warmed up. As usual, he had a confident, relaxed expression on his face. Of course, even then, Daphne couldn’t create proper destructive magic when she was in front of a monster. Even though her fear of people had been diluted, the memories of the past still held onto her and wouldn’t let her go.

“Shall we go a little deeper? The speed of progress has been noticeably faster than before.”

Illroy said as he pushed Hornhog, which had been sprawled on the floor in pieces of meat, with his foot. Illroy is noticeably stronger than before. Rather than strength or mana getting stronger, it should be said that he started to have more room in battle. As if he had learned how to efficiently distribute and use his power, he did not seem to have used much power even while defeating several Hornhogs.

“You’ve gotten stronger.”

Illroy widened his eyes at Daphne’s words and shrugged.

“Rather than that, I’ve calmed down.”

Illroy calmly moved on. Still, despite his painstaking help, Daphne’s progress was slow. no, there wasn’t But Illroy didn’t even think to rush her, he just took her steadily out into the woods every time.

“… Hey, Illroy.”

“yes?”

At the sound of Daphne calling, Illroy paused and looked back at her. It was raining, but the forest road was muddy. The forest, darker and wetter by the day, lurked in a deep turquoise light, calm and quiet, just like the color of Illroy’s eyes. Daphne couldn’t resist the urge of the moment and opened her mouth.

“Does Illroy like me?”

There were countless adventurers who regarded Daphne as a flower. A flower among thorns, of course. Not only did she not break, but no one even tried to reach into the thorn bush. He spat on it saying it had many thorns and left. They made up their mind about Daphne, had expectations, and then disappeared, blaming Daphne again.

“… What?”

And, facing Illroy’s changing expression, Daphne immediately felt like picking up the words she threw. Illroy’s eyebrows curled at first in bewilderment, but then the bewilderment slowly turned into slight disappointment. no, it’s not like that Daphne’s eyes started to tremble like crazy.

No.

I didn’t ask the question to make you feel that way.

It was stupid. I knew. I knew that Illroy was completely different from other people. Daphne knew that when Illroy was talking to her, his eyes didn’t stray, he was looking only in the eyes. And I knew that what was in those eyes was faith and encouragement. This was impatience. It was impatience, self-reproach, and a desire to escape from an impenetrable wall.

“Daphne… I.”

“sorry.”

Daphne immediately apologized and bowed her head. Don’t be disappointed. Don’t turn into other eyes from those eyes that used to look at me. please don’t hate me

The silence was scary and heavy. I could hear the dripping of water droplets on the leaves, the heavy drops of water flowing down, and the sound of grass blades lowering and lifting their heads.

“Shall we sit down for a while?”

Illroy said with a sigh. Daphne nodded and dried the wet rock with magic. Illroy did not speak for a long time. Daphne looked at Illroy, then lowered her head again. how much time has passed When the aftermath of Daphne’s question was drowned out by the sound of rain, Illroy abruptly spoke again.

“Have you calmed down?”

“Yeah.”

“… .”

“… .”

“sorry.”

“I just need to know.”

“… Are you angry?”

“any?”

“sorry.”

“I’m not angry now.”

“… .”

“Still, that was a stupid question.”

“… I know.”

When Daphne looked up again, Illroy was wearing a familiar wry smile. It looked as if all the sediment had already been washed away.

“Well, it may look that way to others.”

“It is not so.”

Illroy laughed at Daphne talking without confidence, got up from his seat and brushed off his pants.

“I don’t care what they say.”

Illroy held out his hand to Daphne. It was a hand gesture of reconciliation and forgiveness, and it was also a hand gesture with such kind words as if to be relieved. Daphne took her hand and rose from her seat. The hesitation was gone, and only one feeling, a thought, remained.

will remain By the side of this person who believes in me.

Daphne’s grip on Illroy’s hand tightened.

“You fell for that bitch. Warrior. When was the last time you flirted with a saint, did you find a new bitch right away? You’re not even a horny bastard, what are you doing, this?”

And now, there was someone over there who treated the person who believed in me as a horned bastard. There was someone over there telling me to get rid of my place. It’s okay to insult me, but I couldn’t stand insulting someone who believed in me anymore. I couldn’t stand it.

My heart is pounding. Mana wriggles. I’m telling you to step forward.

Daphne opened her mouth as she glared at Nella with emotions she had never felt before.

“What did you say now?”
