184 – Is it just a strong belief? Or fanaticism?(2)
The same red hair as before, blowing in the wind. The little girl’s youthful appearance remained as traces. She now assumed the form of a full-fledged woman. Hans stuck out her tongue.
Even after three years, I could see the reason at a glance. That’s because Helya’s appearance seemed to have grown from the one she had three years ago. Thanks to her, she recognized her right away.
So, conversely, I felt more uncomfortable. Originally, it was natural for people to change as time passed. However, Helya seemed to deny herself the obvious.
Hans swallowed dry saliva. I don’t know why, but she’s looking at Helya. Unknowingly, she continues to strain her body. It feels like a predator is right in front of her eyes.
She had never felt this way from Helia. What the hell happened in the last 3 years? Come to think of it, she did something strange. Although the other members knew at least the news.
Very few people knew about Helya. She said she didn’t know even that, except that she was active in the human kingdom. In other words, she doesn’t know what Helya is doing.
“How are you?”
“She wasn’t all right. But somehow she survived.”
“You’ve been living somehow? Has anything happened?”
“The most unbearable thing was the teacher’s absence.”
Helia’s face didn’t even smile when she said those words. There was sadness and loneliness on Helya’s face as she recalled her past. But the moment the red eyes touched Hans.
All the emotions that were left behind disappear in an instant. What filled her place was joy contained in a shy blush like a girl’s. Like her other members. Helia was a firm believer in her.
Only if there is a difference. If the other members went into emotion in virtually giving up over time. Helia alone held that belief firmly. She will never go back
The rock of her faith, which was not cut away by the waves of her time, remained in Helya’s heart. Finally, she got the reward. Finally, she could laugh.
“I’m not like the other idiots. I didn’t throw myself into a vendetta.”
“Kuhmm…”
“He didn’t even try to burn the continent.”
“Um.”
“I didn’t try to destroy the world by dropping an island.”
With every word spoken by Helya, I could see the members beside her sinking one by one. She was truly a great village murderer. However, as he listened to the story, Hans had doubts.
“You mean you knew everything?”
“I had some understanding.”
“But why didn’t you stop it?”
“Because my skills were not enough.”
“Yes, yes. I see.”
Because they confidently said that they lacked ability. Hans was at a loss for what to say. Certainly, the scale of the members is not a level that can be blocked alone. Hans got help too.
I couldn’t have stopped it if I had been alone. But what kind of method could there be for Helia? On this point, Hans also conceded. If so, there was only one question left.
In a way, there is only one question that has continued from the time I came to my senses until now. I was most curious and resentful. At the same time, Hans raised the question that he had raised a lot of questions about.
“Then why did you hypnotize me?”
All members except Helya held their breath at Hans’ remark. Even Lua, who had nothing to do with this. It was because I felt the anger, resentment, and longing mixed in Hans’ voice.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t resent it. I felt embarrassed because I was suddenly hypnotized in my normal mind. However, as time passed, the strongest emotion was longing.
We have accumulated many memories and memories while we were together. I have a lot more affection than I thought for my comrades who risked their lives to fight together. But because of that, this fact couldn’t be buried.
“You just have to repent of your mistakes. And don’t do it again.”
“You are also a teacher.”
“Then…”
“But I don’t think it’s your fault, sir.”
Hans was speechless at the unexpected remark. Don’t you think that’s wrong? It was the same for other members. But Helena’s expression was calm. Like the spring sunshine.
“What does that mean?”
“You were thinking of leaving someday, right?”
“……Yes, it was.”
“At first, I thought that if I worked hard, I wouldn’t leave.”
Helya was candid about her feelings. If you work hard at first, you will never leave. The teacher can’t That’s what she believed. However, she eventually came to realize that she was.
“The fact that you will leave one day.”
“Isn’t it the right thing to hypnotize?”
“Yes, that’s right. But… I didn’t want to regret it.”
“You didn’t want to regret it?”
“Because I didn’t want to go through the experience of losing something precious again.”
Helia has already lost loved ones. She remembers her parents, who loved her enough to lay down her life for her sake, and the love she received from them. She didn’t want to lose anything precious.
She thought she’d rather die than repeat the pain. She did it and has no regrets about it. Helya raised her own hand. She then grabbed her tightly.
“The precious treasure is to be protected by oneself. Even if you have already lost and cried out, what remains is nothing but futility.”
“…….”
“Other people won’t say anything. I did it because I somehow agreed with what I said then.”
The members, who were furious at Helia’s one word, shut their mouths again like a lie. As you said, it was true that I agreed with Helya’s opinion at the time. That never changes
“Yes, I’m sure it was.”
“Then…”
“However, these children are different from you.”
“What is it?”
“They sincerely apologized to me.”
Yes, Cluna, Clara and Ruby, of course. Even Bayard and Yuren, who had been against it to the end, apologized to Hans. She even stopped her from trying to do the Naked Dogeja or Omangko Dance of Apology.
But Helya is different. She thinks her actions are justified, and she sincerely believes she does. Hans sighed. Where did she get twisted? I do not know.
But I understand. To a child, parents are the world itself. Children grow up in that world until they grow up. But Helena couldn’t. Because her world was broken before she even grew up.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t see you then.”
Hans apologized honestly. Although he refuted that the sword he heard said was not the owner’s fault. Hans shook his head. To Hans, Helya was like a child. At least Hans did.
As if there are no parents in this world who can beat their children. Look at Helya’s twisted figure. Hans feels apologetic without even realizing it. However, that and this were different.
“So, I will face you from now on.”
Helia’s words weren’t entirely wrong. In fact, in the past, Hans had the idea that he didn’t care what the world was going to be like. That he joined the Royal Knights. He also became the general manager.
All he did was to buy himself time to return to his original world. If the world turns into hell, it will be difficult for even you, who has a time stop, to find a way to go back smoothly.
Hans quietly pulled out the new sword he was wearing around his waist. There was no longer any hesitation in Hans. However, even though Hans drew his sword. Helya just tilted her head.
“Sir, did I do anything wrong?”
“It is wrong not to know what is wrong. And it is also my fault.”
“Then…”
“So, take responsibility. I will make you realize your mistakes.”
Just as you believe in me as a teacher. As Hans stepped forward with a serious face, a blush bloomed like a flower on Helya’s cheeks. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a teacher so cool.
“It’s such an honor to have a teacher look after me… What an honor! My heart trembles and I don’t think I can even speak properly…!!”

“Helia.”
“Yes, sir, as the only student, you want to see my skills, right?”
“……!!”
Red lightning struck. It was a short time that seemed to pass by, but only that thought remained in my head. But it wasn’t a coincidence that I reacted to it. The experience accumulated so far reacted.
Helya 一劍 前進斬
Helia style single sword forward slash
I was able to react to Helya’s high-speed sword even without time stop. The body strengthened by the dragon heart and the accumulated experience created synergy. Hans looked at Helya with internal relief.
“While the teacher was gone, I have done my part. Sir.”
“…….”
“Unlike the idiots who get confused and make random accidents.”
Red eyes flashed. Ironically, Hans had already seen it. The past, when he was not yet a member of this world. The first thing I saw in the bed ending.
“So, I am the only one who is qualified to serve you.”
It was similar to Helya who betrayed the main character’s party.
