139 – We defeated the demon king and disbanded without any conflict_3
The wind was blowing and it was nice. The sunlight was a little strong, but the floating clouds were covering it up a little, so it wasn’t too dazzling.
Far away, outside the borders, the vegetation was green, and the buildings that lined the streets were showing off their individuality.
There were enough people gathered to fill the vast outdoor area of the academy. It was not uncomfortable, but the people who were in the middle of the gap came into my eyes.
They were all looking at me. It was a look that could not be said to be good.
Those eyes that reveal the negative emotions of seeing my bare face.
disgust. I know very well. People who see me for the first time, and people who know me but don’t know my bare face are frowning when they see my scars. Although it was impossible to look at each individual, more than half of the people who took a quick glance were showing such a reaction.
The next thing I see is doubt and pity. I know this too. The only people who approached me with these feelings were those who wanted to gain a social advantage by caring for me or were obsessed with ‘helping someone’. There may have been people who weren’t, but all the people I’ve met so far have been like that.
A voice is heard. My hearing, which has become more sensitive than necessary, begins to catch people’s conversations.
“What is that bastard with the first hero and…”
“Isn’t that the guy from Eormigin? Was he a colleague?”
“Ugh, what is that… it’s horrible…”
“Doesn’t look like anything special? I think I can win even if I fight…”
“A guy like that was part of the first hero? I can’t believe it.”
“Did the first hero play a joke?”
Even though many voices were mixed, the useless eardrum, which only caught and relayed unnecessary voices cursing me, was particularly hateful today.
I couldn’t keep an eye on people beyond that. I thought that I had overcome it completely, and that I would never feel that way anymore, but as soon as people looked at me, my fingertips trembled and went numb.
The body is light. I don’t even feel tired. But even so, the memories that were stuck in it didn’t go away, and it came to the surface again, and I was shouting to get rid of the eyes like it always did.
A hand was raised. Elbows folded, palms facing my face. It was the posture I always took when I drew my face.
My colleagues who were watching people from the side sense my movements and prepare to stop my actions at the same time.
Of course. If you show this in front of people from all countries of different races, languages, and genders, big things will happen.
I can’t rely on them any more. Kicking away a reserved seat is an act that will never be forgiven.
After turning the palm down again, he slammed the railing once, loud enough to be heard by the entire crowd.
A loud bang was heard. The movement of my colleagues who tried to approach me stopped.
It wasn’t loud enough to calm the chaotic situation, and my movements weren’t particularly special. The people from the middle to the back row were still buzzing, looking at each other and me.
A scroll attached to the waist. It was created by Solar and Rain together, and it has a value that cannot be bought even with money.
The effect of magic hanging in it is sound amplification. As soon as I tear this scroll, my voice will become clear enough to be heard by everyone on the far end.
When you’re ready, just tear it up. Yes, if you’re ready…
“Ron, if it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be better to quit? I’m fine, so don’t mind…”
I reacted to Lane’s words about embracing me again.
Yeah, what are you afraid of that’s why you’re making this mess? The scary thing has already ended a long time ago.
I have colleagues by my side and I know they trust me. I know that you will not abandon me. There was nothing to be afraid of.
He took out a roll of paper and tore it up. The magical power they carefully instilled begins to linger around their lips.
“Everyone.”
Everyone’s attention is focused on me. When my colleagues saw me in action, they returned to their original positions and began to stare at the crowd. like a work of art.
“We defeated the Demon King and dispersed without any conflict.”

No one opened their mouths. Everyone was silent and focused on what I was saying.
“And I was with you on that journey.”
The moment I said that, my mind went blank. Everything I had just read and put into my head seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
“I hadn’t revealed it until now. I thought people wouldn’t look at me well because I was so weak and insignificant compared to the people here.”
Even so, his lips are swollen and he begins to speak. It seemed that they were claiming that if they were cut off here, the initiative in the flow would be taken away.
“After defeating the Demon King, a conflict has arisen. Because of me alone.”
Ryan tried to say something, but Lane stopped him.
“I have a mental problem, and I can’t say for sure that I’m completely cured yet.”
start to murmur
“I was the one who couldn’t acknowledge me more than anyone else. That kind of mind gradually darkened and spread into self-hatred, which worsened and led to self-harm.”
I didn’t talk about the curse. Because the moment I said it, it seemed like an excuse.
Slowly, I scanned the scar around my eye once.
“This is the result. Whenever I was consumed by jealousy and self-loathing of my comrades’ strength, I painted my face like this. Every time I saw their straight gaze, I felt it.”
He looked at the mountains in the distance and continued talking.
“I am a lowly skirmisher, I have wounded them with my words and weary them with my actions. Yet they have believed in me and devoted themselves to me.”
I can’t remember the sentence. As I waited, the hum grew louder. Soon, it begins to grow so huge that it cannot be put to sleep with only the voice borrowed from magic power.
“That..”
I hear a sound. A voice that doubts my existence itself and a voice that just hates and condemns my existence itself. Even a voice expressing disapproval of the presence of impurities in the four-member group of first warriors.
It’s a big deal. Her white-painted hair seemed to obscure her vision.
What should I say? What should I do to calm everyone down and what to say next?
“I believe! I believe! Warrior! My own warrior!”
“Wait! You were hiding something like that!?”
“Hey! I knew who he was, but he’s just talking nonsense! You and I have gotten along well so far! Anyway, I know it’s not a joke!”
Among the crowds, the toxic noticeable, the voices I know well. Myrcene, Friersil, Thorman. And the people who were in contact with me riding in the flow of their voices.
What happens to a person when faced with a situation that can be seen as a coincidence?
Are you going to deny the situation by cursing? Or are you going to laugh it off as a coincidence? If that’s not the case, will you be disappointed with ‘the disgusting forced impression’?
I couldn’t answer the clear sound of their voices.
It seemed to tell me that everything I’ve been doing wasn’t wrong.
Those who have been affected by what I have done have a voice in the vast crowd.
trust are trusting me They believe in me for wearing bandages and making arrogant words and actions.

Nothing I’ve ever done was wrong or useless. It was just that I was judging myself that way.
You’re showing the results in front of me like this.
Oh, that’s a big deal.
I’m in tears. Seriously, I don’t think I can stop.
“That..”
There is moisture between the letters that seem to sink to the ground. It feels certain.
When was the last time you cried? I don’t even remember. I was forced to endure it. I couldn’t even help because there was no reason for them to take me with them if I even cried.
Even in a gloomy state, everyone tried to change the mood and was frantic about taking care of others more than me.
In order not to look weak, I pretended to be composure and pretended to have something.
I struggled to get away from the sadness without thinking as deeply as possible.
Thinking that I shouldn’t cry here, I dried my face and wiped away my tears.
I spoke again with gratitude to those who raised their voices without being mixed with the cries and doubts of others.
The beginning, course, and outcome of the adventure.
Self-destruction, flight, and the reason for such behavior.
Tried things, failed experiences, even conclusions.
“..So, thanks to the dedicated help of my colleagues, I was able to create this place and tell you about me. It would have been unimaginable in the past.”
“Is that conclusion that you performed lewd acts with the first hero?”
A scream filled with anger reached his ears. yes. Something has come. It just went well. There was nothing more to say, and it was about to get boring if I continued to talk about it.
I turned my head slightly and looked at Rain, Solar, and Lian.
Finally, he looked at Odrox and said.
“Sorry. I’ll be greedy.”
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Because what I’m going to do in the future feels like a human being.”
I must apologize in advance. To everyone who respects and likes Rain, Solar and Rihanna.
I banged my head on the railing. I wanted to put my head on the ground, but I thought people wouldn’t see it, so I expressed it like this.
“Everyone! Sorry!”
buzzing sound. The sound of colleagues’ posture being slightly disturbed.
Without even thinking about calming the confusion, he raised his head and took a step back, dragging Rain, Solar, and Lian.
Even though they had the strength to resist, they were dragged out and looked at me with puzzled expressions. I don’t know if they will allow me to make this choice, but in the end, shouldn’t I have to make a choice someday?
It is difficult to choose just one. Because when someone is happy, someone is sad.
I’d choose all three. As much as they worked hard for me, I will risk my life to make all three of them happy.
Of course, all three may decline this option. After all, this was my greed.
“The first warrior, Reign Guardon! Archmage Al Sola! Saint Lian Serwin! I will make you happy!”
He hugged all three at the same time. It was an unconventional move to the point of inadvertently opening one’s mouth wide. They also seemed to be stiff, as if they hadn’t expected me to act like this.
I decided to open up and show it all. That’s why I didn’t have the slightest intention of ending it with such a vague statement.
“I will speak openly in front of so many people! Apart from being colleagues, I love these three people with the opposite sex! I am a greedy person and couldn’t come to the conclusion that I would choose only one! So, all three of them and decided to dedicate my body to make the three of them happy!”
High-level profanity and booing echo. From their point of view, it was natural that such a reaction would come back, as it was like a stranger suddenly falling down and confessing to their idol.
“quiet.”
thud. With the sound of Odrox’s greatsword being snapped, the hall became quiet in an instant.
