The Hero Disciple Is Back

Chapter 51

EP.51 – 50. Master looks at the night sky

Stella did not come back.

Parting is a familiar thing for mercenaries.

There are times when you suddenly hear sad news.

The next time we meet, we promised to shoot each other, but if it became a promise that we could not keep forever, it was also something that a mercenary had to get used to.

Being a mercenary is a job that lives on the borderline of life and death.

As such, it’s definitely a good job to make money, but most of them didn’t even touch the money properly, and there were far more cases where they had to close their eyes thinking about the money they didn’t spend while holding the bloody money.

That’s why parting is familiar.

“It’s not goodbye though.”

The one who suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared.

So, someday, as it did at the beginning, it will suddenly appear on its own and try to get food.

I’m sure it will.

He wasn’t even a mercenary, so there’s no way he died suddenly, and he must be yawning under the same sky with a face full of indolence, showing an unattractive appearance like a saint.

Organizing my thoughts like that

That’s how I started my daily life.

♧♧♧

– Stella, rest in peace here.

“Do you like the epitaph? I can’t help it even if I don’t like it. Because when I thought of it, I could only think of an expression you would like.”

Said Sarah, looking at the place where Stella was sleeping peacefully. Her body turned into light and disappeared, so there was virtually nothing inside… . Still, if he left a trace that he was in this world, he would definitely like it, so I made a tomb like this.

The temple guys didn’t want to do it, but Sera, a brave man who had been proven by the gods and saints, glared at them once and quietly complied.

The temples also had their own information routes, so they couldn’t help but pay attention to Sera as they knew how ruthlessly and reliably Sera had dealt with the villains. Since the hero might take issue from the beginning and overturn the temples for their reckless treatment of the wandering saint, they worked hard with Sera glaring at them.

As a result, Stella was able to obtain a plausible tomb.

Sarah was satisfied, saying that it would be better to have it than not have it.

It was something I did for self-satisfaction anyway, so I made up my mind not to care whether the person concerned liked it or not. Like a warrior of infinite return, he was really shameless.

So Sarah is looking at the tombstone… .

that buck! that buck!

“… Thank you.”

As anyone can see, the old man who is full of the atmosphere of ‘I’m going to be’ said that while looking at the tombstone.

“I didn’t mean to say thank you.”

“How did you feel… Thank you. It’s the first time this child has had such a nice grave.”

“If you were so worried about this child, why didn’t you stay by my side? It’s not like he didn’t know that he was being harassed by guys whose name was precious, right?”

“Hero, don’t you know? The existence of God is not such a convenient existence.”

Wandering God Ulford

The true identity of this old beggar was the wandering god. A god whose origin was wandering, a god who didn’t listen to anything, didn’t do anything, and just wandered, and that’s why he was forgotten by people. That was the true identity of this old man.

“Especially for a god whose origin was wandering like me. Being able to interfere in this child’s affairs was a great coincidence.”

“So are you satisfied? What about the end of the saintess who made use of someone else’s teacher?”

“The child smiled and closed his eyes. There is no reason not to be satisfied.”

After those words, the wandering god slowly disappeared. The powder he left behind as he disappeared spread and instantly made Stella’s tomb bloom with flowers and decorated it beautifully.

“… It’s overkill.”

For gods, temples and believers were absolutely necessary. Because that makes God exist. However, the wandering god had neither a temple nor a follower. In such a state, he unreasonably exchanged the half-man, half-horse Stella for the hourglass of death, appointed her as a saint, and handed over her divine power. It was no exaggeration to say that Ulford, the god of wandering, consumed his life force and shared it.

So, as a result, the remaining divine power and life force of the wandering god… . It will be no different than a candle that goes out.

Even in such a state, I wanted to make the saintess’ tomb even a little more beautiful, so I used my holy power… .

Sarah couldn’t help but say that she was doing too much. Even so, he did not want to criticize and taint what he had done.

“It’s something similar.”

After all, it was for self-satisfaction that he created Stella’s tomb. He was not qualified to say anything about the self-satisfied act of the wandering god. Above all, no matter how much a warrior of infinite return, humans, humans worry about God, so what are they doing?

“But you know what? It’s like you were forced to entrust me with a very difficult role.”

Having to inform Jade of Stella’s death

He had no choice but to take on that role.

Like my heart, I want to hide it.

But it can’t be.

No matter how many secrets he didn’t tell Jade, this was something he shouldn’t have done. This is because this should not be covered up no matter what reason or plausible justification is attached.

Because the death of a person with whom you shared time and a relationship, the death of a friend, cannot and cannot be hidden.

He was forced to take on a very difficult role.

There are many complaints, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Because having a friend take on an unwanted role is also a friend relationship.

“I’ll come again.”

Sarah turned around.

Behind her, flowers danced in the wind. It seemed that he was waving his hand and saying hello. It was a phenomenon that no one could attach any meaning to because no one had seen it.

♤♤♤

Stella, whom I thought would be lying around under the same sky, heard the news about her from Sarah. In a way I hadn’t thought of.

-… The wandering saint has left for the other side of the night sky.

It meant dead.

“I see… .”

The relationship that came suddenly was suddenly bereaved.

It was a shock because it was just an instant.

In the first place, he was really used to parting and bereavement.

So it’s okay.

There is nothing wrong with it.

so it’s okay

“Did you hear how he died?”

– From the beginning, it is said that there is not much time left. I was thinking about what to do in such a situation… . In the end, he selected me as a warrior and gave me his all to bless me.

“… I see.”

Why did you ask me about the fate of the world… . I guess that was the reason.

Could it be that my advice ultimately led to the child’s death? It’s a time limit anyway, so it’s a worthy death because I used that life for the world at least a little bit? It should not be determined by others. The value of death is a law that only the person concerned can decide. Whether it is an unavoidable sacrifice or a meaningful sacrifice is up to the person involved, and there is no right or qualification for others to talk about the death of others at will.

So I also have no right to evaluate the child’s death. But if my words made him make that choice… . Am I really not responsible for that? Can I really say that I didn’t know the identity of the child’s troubles in the first place? There would be no more cowardly excuse than that if you said that you had no idea what kind of troubles she was going through, even if you knew that she was a saint who talked about the fate of the world.

So, couldn’t I have pushed the girl toward what I wanted in the end to achieve what I wanted? Can I dare to say no to myself?

It was when I was thinking like that.

– The child smiled and left.

“… Is that so?”

-Yes, as if they were really happy. He said he had something to leave behind, that everything was within him from the beginning, and that he was able to do so, and he fell asleep laughing as if he was very happy.

“… like that. thanks.”

-… Are you okay?

“It’s okay.”

after the story

I quietly went out to the front yard and looked at the night sky.

Beautifully shining stars were looking down at them.

I couldn’t sleep that day

I just stay silent

I looked up at the night sky.

But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see the world beyond the night sky.

There must be that lazy girl lying comfortably on the other side, sniffing and rolling around… .

Unfortunately, I couldn’t see it with my eyes.
