I Was Kicked Out of the Party Even Though the Hero Is My Girlfriend chapter 76

76 – Don’t be fooled Kiera

***

Tree branches that had covered her body rose to the ceiling.

Keira opened her eyes.

“How are you feeling?”

The elven priestess was looking down with a smile on her face.

“… … ”

Kiera blinked a few times before coming to her senses and then straightened her upper body.

My body was light and my head was fresh.

It felt like a good amount of time had passed.

“… Do you still have the training ceremony?”

“Oh that… Metpe is waiting for you. Go to the director’s office now.”

The priestess gave an elusive answer, then put down Kiera’s clothes and hurriedly left the room.

Kiera got out of bed and took a long breath in and out.

It felt comfortable.

I picked up the clothes in the basket one by one and left the room.

When I passed through the hallway and entered the director’s office, Metpe was sitting at the desk.

“Is it okay to sleep for 30 minutes?”

“I’m sorry I lied to you. I needed enough rest for a day or so to recover my mind and body.”

“For one day… A day has passed?”

“Okay, it’s over.”

Keira was furious.

The day has passed.

It felt like a waste of not seeing Maru during that time.

In an instant, Boia rose up and reached for the sword that was worn around her waist.

“You feel alive. If you want to meet the person you love, you better stop.”

Metpe said with a relaxed laugh.

“Sir Hanmaru is here now.”

“… !?”

Keira’s hands stopped moving and her eyes widened.

“Where are you?”

“You have a quick temper, too. Do you want to talk to me first and then meet me?”

After a light consultation, Metpe held out a small potted plant that had been placed on the desk to Kiera for the last time.

“This is a scented candle called Razpin. When your mind and body are unstable, smelling the scent will help. It is also edible, so you can pick off the leaves and eat them. It is a gift to you.”

“… … ”

Kiera looked down at the scented candle in silence.

The leaves turned pale yellow and shimmered.

“… Why are you helping me?”

“No matter how you look at it, I don’t think it was a coincidence that I met you at the end of my life. Lord Maru said so. You are a hero who inherited power from humans, not gods. It’s a lot of fun.”

Metpe stood up.

“Then I won’t go out. wait here.”

Maru came in shortly after she left with a cane.

It really was the floor.

Keira’s expression, which had been expressionless until then, soon brightened.

“Maruya… ! Are you here to see me?”

“sit down. Let’s sit down and talk.”

Maru sat down with her across the table.

Keira’s eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

However, Maru was calm enough to feel cold.

“Before we return to Basilite, I thought we should sort out our problems and leave. I would have been crazy to see him break in during the training ceremony. Ignoring was not the answer. Let’s put a complete knot between us here today.”

Kiera’s eyebrows twisted slightly.

“no. Why do you like me… ?”

“I used to like it. But not now. i was tea You’re done.”

“I never thought it would be you who saved me when I was sick. If I had known you were my lifesaver, we would not have broken up with you.”

“Whether you are a benefactor or not, your human nature is flawed. When we were at the same party, I will never forget how he treated me like a slave from start to finish.”

“Is that the cause? Was the reason why you are being so cruel to me now because of your bad feelings from the past?”

Keira suddenly got down from her chair and fell to her knees.

I put my hands together and prayed.

“Please forgive. I won’t do that again. You can treat me as a slave from now on. Take out all your anger as much as you suffered. I’ll accept everything, so please don’t just say goodbye.”

Maru opened his lips while looking at him without moving.

“Kiera. What do you see me as?”

“why… ?”

“You think I still don’t know much about you? It’s not that innocent Hanmaru that gave you liver and gallbladder. Right now, in my eyes, a woman like you only looks like a villain hiding something.”

Keira’s face darkened even more.

“You must be wrong!”

“It is not a misunderstanding. You plotted with party members behind the scenes to kick me out, seduced men at prom hoping for riches, tried to ruin my career by talking about an abortion that didn’t even exist, and Natalie, who I’ve been with for a long time, isn’t helping either. I was sent out without mercy. Do you think it makes sense for such a heartless woman to suddenly act like a single-minded woman who knows nothing but love? Isn’t it funny?”

Maru continued to speak bitterly.

“Your strength must be your goal. So you want to come with me.”

he chuckled.

“okay. Let’s be honest while revealing everything. you. He must have coveted the status of my crown prince. A woman like you is such a woman. A woman steeped in ambition and greed.”

He shook his head and let out a big sigh.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, so stop taking off your mask. You know that. I never look back at once I fell for it. You got the concept wrong. You should have approached me without pressure like Lucy or Natalie. At least they help with the mission. It’s not soggy like you, so even if they don’t want to see it, they force themselves to find it. You know as much as your skills. It’s hard to find skills like that anywhere. It was a waste of time to find mercenaries, so they used them right away. When the mission is over, you can coolly part ways. Call again if necessary. business relationship. That was enough. But you are too much.”

He looked straight into her eyes and tightened his neck.

“You’re causing a nuisance to the point that I don’t want to meet you.”

“… … ”

Keira was silent for a moment.

Until a moment ago, he had a frowning expression that seemed like he would burst into tears if he touched it, but when Maru’s story was over, he only blinked and sat on his knees with his expression straightened.

Then, he suddenly burst into laughter.

“Keuk, ha ha ha! Oppa, you’re not fooled anymore!”

She got up and sat down in a chair.

Her eyes, revealing her true color, became sharp and her pupils became lively.

“Ha really. I’ll take it quietly What kind of trouble is this because I kicked them out for no reason?”

“Okay, that’s how it should come out. That way the story goes faster.”

“Honestly, I still like you. right brother? I know you’re deliberately denying it.”

“You are a woman without loyalty or compassion. Even if others treat you well, you don’t appreciate it and only think of you. Ever since I knew that, it’s been a long time since you left my heart as a woman.”

“huh.”

she snorted.

“But oppa was really trash. How are you going to take her when you can’t help at all?”

“A hero must know how to embrace and take care of those who are lacking.”

“Where’s the time for that? We were a party to catch the demon king.”

“I only cooked rice, but I wasn’t in charge of combat. You should know how to fight. If you carry my luggage and feed me well, haven’t I done my part?”

She shook her head as if it were tingling.

“done. stop talking about the old days Anyway, why did you hide the crown prince? If I had known that, I would have looked at my brother differently.”

“To weed out guys like you.”

“car.”

Kiera snorted in bewilderment.

“Why have you changed so much? Even when we first met, you were such an innocent person. The kid who shed tears over a piece of bread has changed so much.”

“It’s because I came back to life and realized the value of life. I didn’t need a man who couldn’t protect me.”

“Then you shouldn’t have come back now.”

“I have to have my brother nearby, but what can I do to gain strength? And the crown prince?”

She licked her lips with her tongue as if swallowing saliva at the sight of sweet prey.

It seemed that his evil personality was revealed in his appearance.

“It’s okay if I become your concubine, so let’s date again. I’ll keep it a secret from the princess.”

“Shut up.”

“If you refuse, I will continue to bother you.”

“While acting like crazy in love with me?”

“Did you feel good?”

“Damn it.”

“It’s true that I was nervous, not acting. That’s why I became a crowd. My love for you was real.”

“refuse.”

“Because he’s the crown prince, he was suddenly lovable.”

Ha ha ha she laughed.

Maru did not feel the need to have a serious conversation.

Let’s get to the point and leave.

“I have to go out soon, so I’ll keep things simple. Because of the strength of the warrior, you’ll have to stay around me for the rest of your life. This is inevitable, so I’ll make concessions on my part. Even if you’re around me in the future, I won’t push you away anymore. Instead, don’t pretend to know me. You live as you are.”

Significantly added.

“If you want to keep this, you will have no choice but to resolve it with violence in the end. Just like when I dealt with the demon king, I will turn into a monster and defeat a hero named Kiera.”

Keira’s face hardened.

“… Is it a threat?”

“It’s a one-sided notice. You choose whether to accept or not. Take responsibility for the consequences of your choices.”

After saying that, he got up from his seat.

“The matter is this. Just go.”

The door opened and closed.

“… … ”

Keira was lost in thought for a moment.

next day.

Preparing to leave Narundra, all the people of Basilite Kingdom gathered at the warp gate.

Kiera was there at the place crowded with people.

He walked around the floor with a slightly sullen expression, but unlike before, he didn’t bother.

Later, when leaving Narundra and traveling by carriage, or camping at night, Kiera would often look at the floor.

But she never approached him.

I was just watching from afar.

Maru was relieved that the language finally worked.

But Kiera was still the same.

During her travels, she sneaked up to the sword goddess and asked.

“Why are you hanging out with Maru? Could he have been interested in the body of a woman of different races?”

“I am on the path of atonement. I’m following Maru because he said he would kill me for my sins.”

“ah… She’s going to die anyway.”

Kiera returned the sword she had pulled out of its scabbard.
