We Defeated the Demon and Disbanded Without Any Conflict

39 – Shackles

returned to the academy.

Although I unintentionally spent some time outside the border, I arrived safely and without any injuries.

Even though it was a short time of about two days, it feels like I have returned to my hometown. Maybe it felt more like Rain and Solar.

Once you’ve returned, should you report your return? I have a favor to ask Lane, so let’s go to the dean’s office.

Just as I was about to step into the dean’s office, someone from the bush next to me made a rustling sound and came up.

“Hero!”

“Huh? The hero is in the dean’s office…”

“Hero! Where the hell have you been!”

oh It was Myrsene. But haven’t we ever been apart that long?

I had some doubts about Mirsen’s attitude of revealing the joy of reunion as if it were reunited with an ex-lover.

Rather, was it hiding in the bush to avoid people? It was a very funny sight to see her emerge from the grass like a wild monster with the title of princess.

“But why is the princess still at the academy?”

“..You’re too cold. I’ve been looking for a nearby accommodation to find a warrior..”

“Yes? Why?”

“..it’s too much..”

I just asked without much thought, but Myrsene’s voice became moist. He seemed to like it because his adventurer level had risen, but why did he feel like his tear glands were getting weaker?

I feel like I made a noise, so I start to feel guilty.

What’s more important than seeing a girl who’s shorter and shorter than me shed tears like this…

‘If you get caught, you’ll be f*cked.’

Contrary to her friendly attitude, she is Mirsen, a person with the status of the second princess of the Empire. Moreover, she is famous for her appearance to the extent that rumors circulate that the emperor of the empire will accompany her when she is in need of a beauty in diplomacy.

The danger of that appearance is well known.

It was a beauty to the extent that it was imprinted in my memory even though I briefly encountered it while going around the demonic world.

A striking, unusual hair color with a dull blue tinge.

The tail of the eyes slightly raised and slightly sharp, but on the other hand, it emphasizes the image of the person who is a gangster.

Pure white skin that seems to glow even in the dark.

Cute little tear points around the eyes.

Now I’m blindfolded, but I still remember everything. Because it was so intense that it was strange to forget.

I remember everything when I was startled and said dumbfoundedly, “You look beautiful.”

At that time, he had tied them up for an adventure, but now his voluminous hair that hangs down to his elbows stands out.

Thanks to that, it may be that grace and charm flow even more.

In fact, as soon as this princess set foot in the academy, people of all genders flocked to her as if to surround her.

“hahahaha. Don’t cry. You just wanted to find it, right? Me and the princess aren’t close enough to cry like that…”

While talking while gently removing the leaves from Mirsen’s hair, she hurriedly shut her mouth.

Unbeknownst to me, my mouth blew up first.

It was only after I had uttered that I realized that what I had just said was an act of adding fuel to the fire.

“Um… it’s not that we’re not that close, but it’s not that we’re going to cry for each other… It’s hard to put into words.”

I tried my best to clear up the misunderstanding, but the more I went, the more my conversational skills were revealed.

I don’t know a thing about how to talk to soothe a crying woman. Not to mention what the princess likes or dislikes.

There was little information about the other person, so I couldn’t do anything I tried.

hard. I hear Myrsene gnashing her teeth.

I wish I could kill you without hurting you.

“What’s the relationship between us… then? Didn’t the hero miss me? Didn’t the person like me exist in the hero’s heart?”

It’s just between labyrinth money that you miss and sleep with.

We haven’t seen each other long enough to have sweet feelings.

“Princess, the feelings you have are just the feelings you got from going through the labyrinth together for the first time. It’s a feeling that will soon be forgotten if you experience more.”

“No. I did a lot of adventure work. I received official permission and worked hard. Even so, my feelings for the hero swelled as they grew, but did not diminish.”

I denied my opinion like a knife, but the crying voice was gradually returning to its usual state.

“I knew it had to be you. But you kept trying to get away from me…”

..uh? Is your voice getting lower and lower?

I got goosebumps for some reason at the sight of Mirsen muttering lowly without moving a finger, as well as the way she continued to look at me.

First of all, I listened to her words, thinking that Mirsen would come to her senses a little bit if she responded.

“Hero, why do you seem to be avoiding me? Because of my position? Because of this personality? Because of the eye-catching hair color?”

“Oh that’s…”

“Or maybe some reactionary… injected you with strange information?”

“So..”

“If something goes wrong with your memory, tell me right away. The older brother who seizes the reaction molecule and cuts off his limbs and peels off his skin…”

“No, I mean…”

“No, I have to confine it after all..”

“The princess?”

Mirsen ignores me and mumbles. The last sentence, unfinished, was a language reserved for the empire, not an official language, but it was short and strong enough to be known with my short knowledge of the language. I think speaking in a low and gloomy tone is more suitable for the Makai language.

Mirsen, who had been muttering such dangerous words, glanced back at me as if he had a good idea.

For some reason, it was not a good feeling to feel a black aura.

“Ha.. hahahaha. Then I’ll stop..”

“Hero.”

gigg.

It sounded like that from both places at the same time.

One is the sound of my feet rubbing against the floor, and the other is the sound of Myrsene’s head turning.

No, how does a man’s throat make the sound of an ungreased articulated doll? I put the question aside. What on earth had happened in the meantime that a bright girl had changed into a person exuding such a gloomy energy?

According to Mirsen, it was most likely my fault, but I just went around the labyrinth together. I’ve never really done anything different.

“Hero, what would you do if the person you love keeps escaping from your eyes and travels somewhere without a rumor…?”

Before I could say anything, Myrsene folded her fingers one by one and continued.

“Place it where it can reach my eyes and let it only look at me forever.

Mental remodeling to never leave without speaking again.

Join as a group and live a life together with the person you love forever.”

No matter what you choose, it’s probably a hell of a life.

Someone else might feel happy.

“hahahaha. What a scary sound. Our princess has improved her joke skills a bit?”

While chatting moderately, I checked Mirsen’s mood. But unfortunately, as always, the world did not revolve around me, and my hopes were beautifully missed.

Myrsene did not move on the spot and continued to look at me. As if to say ‘That’s not the right answer’.

Until now, Mirsen’s kindness had been working in a good way, so I could have avoided her eyes wherever I went. If she, with the status of a princess, had made up her mind, the people of the empire would have surrounded me in the blink of an eye.

ruler. Let’s think. Let’s think. think..

“..What do you think? How can I get out of here- I hope you don’t think the same way. Ever since I protected you, I’ve been reluctant to hurt you. I don’t want you to leave my surroundings. I’m afraid that you’ll get hurt again somewhere. Now I have the courage to speak and act. If I don’t step out of here, the hero will I’m sure he will continue to abuse himself. The warrior is kind. Just imagining getting hurt while doing favors for someone other than me gives me goosebumps. Only for me… stay with me. I want you to give it to me. Yes, I don’t want one-sided love from you. I will live for you, and I will be by your side for the rest of my life…”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

“Your behavior? What kind of behavior are you talking about? I’m well aware of the hero’s tendency to go overboard. Are you saying this in order to get out of the current situation?”

oh got caught

I tried to make fun of the tongue to cover the situation and get over it.

“..Hero, by any chance, do you dislike me? I’m forced to even talk about it now… Since I’m the princess, I have no choice but to give a rough answer…”

“I don’t particularly hate it. If I had to put it into words, it would be like looking at a cute little brother.”

“Ears.. cute.. yes..?”

“But it seems that his personality has become a bit annoying.”

“Ears.. annoying..”

In an instant, the voice that had risen by a tone suddenly dropped. Still, the current Myrsene was much better than that chilly, cold voice from earlier.

To be honest, I was a bit scared earlier.

“Because I liked the gangbang-like feeling better when we went together in the past.”

“..then if I change… will you not disappear from my presence?”

The words were passed over vaguely with a laugh. Fortunately, Mirsen didn’t dig into my answer, and as if he had made up his mind soon, he left a comment like “Then I’ll try” and walked away from me.

I passed it once. But these days, for some reason, it seems that a lot is happening around me. Is this bandage a problem?

I think of myself as having a striking appearance. That too on the bad side.

It’s a little less now, but I still feel that not-so-pretty eyes are pierced. Mainly for upperclassmen.

The first-year cadets look at me over and over again, thinking they are getting used to it, and pass it over, but the upper-class students I run into occasionally react by clicking their tongues blatantly when they see me.

However, if you take off the bandage, you will stand out more.

Healing magic is not omnipotent. A wound that has just been created can be treated without leaving a trace, even if it is a deep wound, but it is meaningless if regeneration has already left a scar.

The defect of the body is, of course, incurable. It can stop the bleeding and make new flesh grow in its place, but it cannot create limbs with original bones, muscles, nerves, epidermis, etc.

It’s too late to erase the scars around my eyes.

..

This time, I didn’t open it thoughtlessly, but cautiously knocked twice and waited for Lane’s answer.

“..Come on in.”

A tired voice was heard somewhere. Since it was Lane’s job, she didn’t pay much attention to it and opened the door slightly.

“..theory!”

Lane, who was sitting at the desk and covering her head, raises her head to greet me. The ponytail’s blonde hair rises a little late and looks like a dog’s tail.

“Huh? Did you find me? Why are you so welcoming? It’s burdensome.”

I remembered her confession once again for no reason, and as I was saying that, Lane sneaked up to me, grabbed my hand, and led me into the dean’s office.

“I thought you disappeared again… I was worried.”

“Uh… well… I don’t have to treat you so special. I’m a student right now.”

“Still, I can’t help but worry.”

Lane’s hand stretched out for a moment, then began to squeeze between my fingers and interlock them. I felt like I was caught in a net, so I tried to get my hands out of it, but…

“..Don’t loosen it. Don’t run away.”

“Yes.”

What is this intimidation all about? I didn’t do anything wrong, but I was scared like a monster with Rain’s steel sword in front of me, so I was in a state where I couldn’t do anything.

Even if you can’t see his face very well.

Are you angry? Or are you disappointed?

The disappearance after the breakup seems to have remained in Lane’s memory. Because among us, the person who values our comrades the most is Lane.

“Sorry. I won’t do that from next time.”

They held each other’s hands as if they were lovers. I am saying here that it was not my intention.

Rain listened to my apology without saying a word and then squeezed his grip tighter. It feels like your bones are being shattered. what is the power…

“I believe. I want to believe.”

She murmured and released my hand. It’s fortunate, but I think ‘I believe’ and ‘I want to believe’ are incompatible sentences. If the chanting was to use magic, it would have failed and a black mass would have come out.

While I was waiting for Lane’s words, thinking that it would be good, she dragged me and started searching around the corner of the dean’s office.

After some time passed, something small was placed on the back of my hand. It stuck together as if glue had been applied, and it felt a little heavy.

“What’s this?”

Feeling foreign, I asked.

“yes..”

Lane hesitated for a moment in response to my question, but…

“shackles.”

In a low-pitched voice, he spat out the most dangerous words.

The flow of her golden magical power was so calm that it could be called serenity itself.
