Episode 2. I am not a hero.(2)
Episode 2. I am not a warrior.(2)
A training ground with scarecrows made of straw and hay. This is where the imperial knights and soldiers train their bodies. If there’s one thing that’s foreign to me, it’s that it’s mostly made up of women.
“… How to say They look like women with great momentum.”
The expression of the female knights looking at me every time I walk is mysterious. Their eyes looked as if they were looking at prey, so I couldn’t help but shrivel.
But there was someone else I had to pay attention to. A woman vigorously swinging her sword on the dusty dirt floor. Is it because he is a warrior? It is a level that has already perfectly adapted to this bizarre environment.
“Haap. hahahaha!!”
I hurriedly approached her and handed her a towel and water bottle. Then, as if she had waited, Yuin Naga turned her head away, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“… Here.”
“Wow. Also. Brother, thank you!”
His black hair, wet with sweat, glistened in the sunlight. As if she really intends to become a hero, she has recently devoted herself to training.
As promised, the imperial family also began actively supporting it. She was told material things were natural and she even got a swordsman master.
She said that if she does not return to her original world, she will not only give her the title of successor, but also allow her to marry the prince. At first, she thought it was unconventional, but if it was a ‘hero’ who subdued the demon king, it could be said to be a sufficient reward.
A modern girl transfers to another world and becomes a member of the imperial family. Isn’t it like a romance fantasy novel that you’ve seen somewhere?
Of course I don’t have anything. What am i doing here I will return to the original world.
According to the words of the lady-in-waiting sent by Emperor Yeo, they acknowledged that I came here through their own fault. Accordingly, Yoo In-na decided to stay as a ‘guest’ in the imperial palace until she defeated the demon king.
Because there is no particular way. If it was a guest of the imperial family, they weren’t treated badly. I could only nod my head dryly.
“You really intend to go to subdue the demon lord. I mean realistically Are you okay?”
As she gulped down her water, she said anxiously. Yoo In-na twitched her lips with a mischievous expression.
“Of course not. The only hero to save this world is this body, right?”
“Still, don’t overdo it. Whether it’s a title of nobility or gold or silver, your life is the most important thing.”
“… Huh. Thank you.”
Yoo In Na gently brushes her chin and continues her words. Her pupils swayed here and there as she looked at me as if explaining.
“I wanted to be the main character in a novel at least once. Do you want to go on an adventure right away? Above all, if you succeed, you can become a noble and have a good time. As long as there is a male lead, my genre of life is completely romantic.”
He also read a lot of novels. Yoo In-na smiled brightly and innocently.
“So don’t worry. Because of me, you get caught up in this strange place.”
Muttered a girl whose head barely reached my shoulder. Her voice was clear and wet, and it touched her heart.
“I will definitely send you back to the original world.”
“… It’s not your fault And I’m in full favor right now. I’m really comfortable. If you were in Korea, when would you have this experience? I’m taking a luxurious overseas trip for free thanks to you. Rather, I should be grateful.”
“Okay then. Oppa, so just trust me.”
I nodded slightly. The load seemed too heavy for her frail frame. Will I really be able to defeat monsters with that slender body?
“But oppa, it seems that her face has changed a bit?”
“I see. I slept well. Maybe the water here doesn’t suit me.”
When I answered playfully, Inna Yoo tilted her head slightly. My reflection in my big eyes is my face that I have always seen.
“No, I think I have become more handsome. What? Write. Has your skin improved? Oppa, don’t you always look like this?”
“What bullshit. If you talk nonsense, I will go.”
I moved on. A distant call was heard, but it could no longer disturb the training.
⁕⁕⁕
Perhaps the manned I said she will continue her training until the sun goes down. As she entered the bedroom, she could hear that someone had come to visit me.
“Seonghyeon-nim, Her Highness the Crown Princess is already waiting for you.”
The attendant in charge informed me in an urgent voice. Quickly tidying up her clothes, she approached her.
To be honest, I’m not even a citizen of this empire, so there’s no need to bow my head. However, since this is a class society, I had to use rhetoric in an appropriate manner.
Fortunately, I didn’t bring any assistants, so the burden is less. The crown princess was already staring at me while sitting in her chair.
“That…. Meet the little sun.”
I slightly bent my left knee and bowed my head. It’s not exact, but it’s usually like this in fantasy novels. No no
Actually, I don’t know either.
“You.”
A voice that feels intimidating and focused even with just one word. I slightly raised her head and looked at the crown princess of her noble status.
The golden hair, which seemed to have been woven in the morning sunlight, had curls as if it had been permed. The blue sky-like wall is like reading my thoughts. A somewhat cold impression, but a beautiful beauty face.
“… Ah. Yes”
“There is nothing to be so polite about. Aren’t you a stranger?”
Then do you really feel comfortable? I can’t say that, though.
“Ah. Thank you.”
“My introduction is late. My name is ‘Elina Arita’.”
Elina gestured for a seat with her hand. She then sat down in her chair and crossed her legs oddly.
I also sat on the other side of the table with a small table in between. In her awkward silence, I waited for her to tell me why she had come to this room.
The attendant has already left two cups of tea on the mini table and ran away. I stared blankly at the rising smoke, but I heard words right away.
“Dude, did you originally look like that?”
“… Yes?”
“Nothing. It must be Jim’s misunderstanding. The atmosphere is different from the first one. As expected, men have wings.”
When asked in embarrassment, Elina shook her head and evasive. As if she was embarrassed, she immediately changed the subject.
“I already had someone tell me, but I wanted to apologize in person. She tried to summon a hero, but I never thought she would bring a civilian male from another world.”
Elina’s voice was quite calm. Seeing her dry expression, she was confused whether she was really sorry.
“Well, it can’t be helped. Because it is not intentional.”
“You seem to be different from normal men in some way. Looking at his face and fingers, he looks like a high-ranking spirit. I do not shed tears or be stubborn.”
If this is the standard of the world, you can be mistaken like that. My fingers are the hands of an ordinary college student who does not work, and it is a world with some unique values.
“I would consider that a compliment. To be honest, I think the warrior is more like that than me. If you see him training with a sword like that already.”
“Isn’t that the quality of a woman who will become a hero?”
Princess Elina glanced at me. It was just a moment, but the eyes in the pretty wall felt dense and intense.
“It is the fate and honor of a ‘knight’ to protect one’s ‘gentleman’.”
What bullshit, I swallowed what I wanted to say. I can’t think anymore. He held his trembling heart and spoke calmly.
“Can you please do me a favor? It’s not going to hurt Her Highness.”
“What is it? Listen first.”
“Please allow me to participate in the demon lord subjugation.”
Elina pursed her lips in exasperation. That expression, which I felt instinctively, was an obvious sneer.
“Courage is imaginary. That’s unreasonable How could a man do such a dangerous thing? I will protect you until you return to the original world….”
“Can I be honest with you? There’s no reason the imperial family would do that to me. Rather, I only eat rice. Isn’t that the ‘surveillance’ of the word ‘protection’?”
Then Elina widened her eyes in amazement. His dark eyes were tinged with interest and curiosity.
“I’m sorry if I sounded that way. But it’s the imperial family’s fault, so it’s right to take responsibility.”
“Then I would appreciate it if you could just give me money.”
Anyway, people around the world communicate with each other. I want to take a lot of money and float in this cramped place. And secretly following Yoo In-na.
“There is no need to worry because the cost of living will come out every month. But leaving is impossible. There is no person in this world who does not have characteristics.”
“That’s because I’m from another world.”
I took a sip of the teacup on the mini table. This scent was pretty good.
“No, something similar happened when summoning the previous hero. However, even at that time, people who were swept away like you had characteristics. To put it bluntly, it didn’t last long.”
That means that he is dead. Then, what do I mean without even a characteristic? I am.
“So you’re saying I’m not human?”
“That can’t be. However, unlike those who had characteristics, even weakly, you really can’t do anything. Isn’t staying still helping to subdue the demon lord? Of course, I’ll make sure to properly reward you when you return.”
A decent reward. Should I pack up all kinds of jewels and gold and sell them back to modern times?
“Your Highness, I understand. But I’m not sure if that’s the attitude of someone who admits their fault.”
After saying it sarcastically, Elina turned her head around and checked her room. Soon, her brow furrowed slightly.
“Oops, it’s not cleaned properly. I was too negligent. Change the room first. The users will increase it even more. Are you satisfied with this?”
Her legs, which she was crossing, went back to normal. Soon, as if the work was over, he stood up and walked towards the door.
It’s finally time to go. Phew. It was hard.
“You….”
“… ?!”
Stand still without opening the doorknob. I couldn’t see his face because I only saw his back. But now the situation seems to be better.
Blonde hair rustles. I felt a strange feeling, but I was a little afraid of what would come out. The sound of your breathing sounds like a slight trembling.
“Are you in a romantic relationship with the hero? Is that why you want to follow that dangerous road? So, I followed the hero to the training ground today….”
I’m asking too seriously to dismiss it as bullshit. So I jumped up from my chair and cried.
“No, what are you talking about? Not at all. It’s natural to worry about people in the same world. And they said I had to subdue the Demon King so I could return home.”

No, how did you know I went to the training ground in the first place? Are you really monitoring?
“In the Empire, there is no place more splendid and better than the Imperial Family. This room is still lacking even from my point of view, so I will instruct you to move it right away. It is the interior that young people like these days. I understand well your confused mind, who came to an unfamiliar world.”
Elina’s brow furrowed slightly before returning. What did you hear me say in the first place?
“No. Room is ok. Thank you for your concern. I think it’s more inconvenient to move because I’m already in the room.”
I give up on thinking. This room isn’t bad either. Rather annoying The problem is one. It’s just that there is no computer or electronic device in my room. Actually, it’s the biggest one.
I don’t know why, but when I came to this world, even the smart phone in my pocket was gone. It was the same with Inna Yoo.
“… Okay. Then get some rest.”
Elina closed the door and left. Only then did I really relax. Immediately, her fatigue set in in an instant.
“Ah.”
I sprawled out on the generously sized bed. She buried her head in the feel of the comforter, which wasn’t super soft but looked good, and shook her head.
Knock-knock!!
Are you Elina again?!
Contrary to my worries, the person who entered was an attendant who was rude to me. He made a fuss at her with a brighter expression than before.
“Three, my God. Watch Her Highness the Crown Princess take care of Seonghyeon-nim.”
You can clearly see his changed attitude. The other day, he was annoyed because he said the hero’s name too casually.
Aren’t you even quietly ignoring it because it doesn’t have any characteristics? To come here all of a sudden while not doing any work and just playing outside.
Still, the food was always taken care of, so it wasn’t that the mentality itself was bad. Of course it’s not nice either.
I closed my eyes without answering him. However, the continuous babbling voice in my ears bothered me quite a bit.
“But Her Highness, the Crown Princess, already has a fiancé.”
Is that so? That’s the first time I’ve heard of it. Maybe it will help Actually, it doesn’t matter.
“I see.”
When you reply once, you get even more excited and spit out gossip here and there. I hope you can tell me some other useful information.
“Yes. And that’s because he’s the prince of the ‘Ortini duchy’.”
Um. I see Betrothed to a nobleman? People in this world are very complex. Even in the world I lived in, it must have been like that in the past.
I picked up the drink that was on the table next to my bed. Swallowing it in one gulp moistens the dry throat and quenches thirst.
“Still, wouldn’t Seonghyeon-nim be able to go all the way to the government? If that happens, I won’t be able to pretend I don’t know….”
“Pooh!!”
I unknowingly spewed a drink. What the hell are you misunderstanding?
