The man who was watching the hero being beaten unilaterally swallowed his saliva. As if thinking about something for a moment, he closed and opened his black eyes for a long time, but without a word, he drew a dagger and approached the hero.

Amidst the deafening noise, he started talking to the man and hero.

The conversation got longer as if they were arguing for a while, but he kicked the hero’s butt.

The warrior pushed out of the crowd completely disappeared from my sight.

Naturally, their targets are transferred to him. And he fought

He closed his eyes and turned his head away. Because I was too desperate to see it all.

yes. He fought with all his might to the point where the word desperate was appropriate.

He cut down one and kicked the other, knocking him off balance. He took something out of the backpack he was wearing on his thigh and sprayed it.

Even as he stumbled on what he had knocked down, he kept his balance and continued to sharpen his sword.

He was fighting alone in the center of the melee.

The monsters close to him collapsed. keep falling down However, the breath did not stop. Everyone was breathing lightly, as if there was some hesitation about being human once.

And just as he was about to speak to me while catching his breath after going through all the crowds, whether they were monsters or humans, a monster lying right below grabbed him by the ankle.

“..Ugh!”

It collapses between them as if it is sucked in in an instant. The monsters that seemed to be incapacitated begin to surround him.

“no..!”

The person who reached out to me is dying surrounded by monsters. And yet I couldn’t do anything.

Unhappiness. The word that suddenly passed by.

seeds of unhappiness. host that transmits it.

I too…

Just before he collapsed and fell into despair, a man came out from one corner of the tower made of monsters.

Grabbing his left ribs and staggering, his whole body turned to rags in an instant.

“Get down!”

he knocked me over and at the same time

─Quaang!!!

The broken pieces of flesh hit the floor with a strong explosion.

He shuddered and reduced his movement as much as possible while making the sound of air escaping.

“I’ll have to check and kill from next time.. anyways..”

A man turned over and lying on his back on the floor.

With her lips tightly pursed, she saw that the calm expression she had worked so hard to create almost collapsed. However, he did not cry even if he showed such an expression for a while. He was neither angry nor discouraged.

The man raised an eyebrow and said.

“Did you see that I’m alive? You’re not a carrier of misfortune.”

I just put what I was concerned about into my mouth.

I couldn’t answer that.

The misfortune is not over.

because..

“ah.”

It was because a monster that was still alive was approaching him swaying.

As soon as the man braced himself and put his arms on the ground, he let out a pained voice.

The slightly visible back was covered in blood.

I couldn’t do anything The man couldn’t even move.

despair. Unhappiness. helplessness.

What can I do in that situation…

As always.

Just like I did whenever I was sad and having a hard time.

I put my hands together and prayed.

There were no other wishes. There is only one thing I want now.

‘Please don’t make me unhappy.’

At that moment, a cluster of silver lights that bloomed from my hand began to move as if it had a will.

The group of lights that had been moving as if examining my fingers extended towards him who was looking up at the monster without moving. And it was sucked into his body.

A silver light that drives away the misfortune that has been sought since birth and the darkness that has burned the inside. Unknowingly, I thought it was a fairy.

The man who received it released his hand from the rib he was gripping tightly.

Bone fragments embedded in the body fall off, and the back, which has been a mess from scratches and digs, becomes clean. The man pulled out his dagger with his whole body and looked at the approaching monster while staggering.

it was crying

“Save me… save me… I want to live…”

I was praying in a human voice, in a language I knew.

A being approaching with an outstretched hand. The man looked at it, which, unlike the others, had a distinctly human form and spoke human words.

“I didn’t do anything wrong… why did I do this…”

Could I have killed it at this moment?

I’ve never hit anyone with my hands. Even when sharing a room with someone else, we never even had an argument. Even if I heard words that bit me and stretched, I obeyed and lost.

So, I can’t Maybe other people do too.

Crying like that, she approaches the man. His outstretched palm was about to touch him.

“..f*ck.”

low voice. Words you don’t know the meaning of. Along with it, a man’s fumbling hand slit its throat.

The human form collapsed along with tears.

The man stood there thinking for a while, and I didn’t look at his face.

After a while he turned his head.

“Thank you. I lived thanks to you.”

Words that acknowledge the value of my existence and drive away the solitude and silence that plagued me in the room. A smile that seems to be trying hard to reassure me more than anything else.

The man approached me with a smile that clearly showed his intentions.

“Aren’t you unhappy? Does my expression look unhappy right now?”

“still..”

“If you still think you’re unhappy, I’ll make you happy. Come with us.”

I looked at him.

He returned to his appearance on the verge of being injured by the influence of the thing I sent out and said to me. I promise to make you happy

book. It reminded me of the book I had read dozens of times.

“There is still a little bit left to do, so take care of yourself and answer me later.”

he went away He turned his back on me and ran to where the hero was headed.

I didn’t catch him. couldn’t catch

It’s a terrible thought, but I thought that I wouldn’t be able to come back.

I hear a sound.

The sound of swords clashing against each other made me frown.

People’s angry cries and burning sounds.

It seemed that all the circumstances were telling him he was not coming back.

but he came back

Without even a scratch, with a hero.

In the distance, I caught a glimpse of a piece of meat on top of a black puddle. I knew what it was even though no one had told me what it was.

“Have you thought about it?”

Very calmly, he told me what he had asked earlier. Wouldn’t you like to travel with yourself?

This is not a castle. What is in front of you is a burning street and piled up corpses.

i am not a princess I can’t get up from my seat in torn clothes with no decorations, and I just look up at my head.

What came out of my hand was not a fairy. Because the cluster of light I emitted was entirely a flower that I had blossomed.

The prince’s face, which had been painted black in my heart, finally became whole.

“I… carry misfortune…”

“Tell me honestly.”

“I’ve never been in a fight, and I’ve never been on a battlefield… I’m afraid to see blood and wounds…”

“So? Are you going with me or not?”

I wanted to be together I felt like I could see, feel, and enjoy a lot with this person.

“You are not an unhappy person.”

As he said that, the man pointed at himself with his thumb.

“Because you met me!”

I could tell that he said that to ease his hardened heart.

But he didn’t react to his appearance. There was something I wanted to ask you first.

“Can I really help?”

I saw him fight. I didn’t think I would be needed.

If this person is just talking empty words to boost my self-esteem. If everything he says is a lie and he leaves me in this state, then I have to go back there.

And forever, under the supervision of the ‘Director’ and ‘Director’, I will live while drawing on the past happiness.

“Put your hands together. Like when you pray.”

Hand in hand. I didn’t even recite my heartfelt wish, but I felt something flowing from the very center of my heart. It wrapped around my hand.

“Send it to him.”

Following his words, I stretched out my hand to the warrior with my palm facing up.

The scratches and black marks on the hero’s body disappeared without a trace. Just like that.

I couldn’t believe that something that could be called a miracle came out through my hands.

“You saw it? That’s helpful enough. We need you. Let’s go together.”

“I’ll beg you too. I need your strength.”

Two pairs of eyes with strong will.

I couldn’t deny this any more. held their hands

A street littered with corpses. Even though the smell of blood stung his nostrils, he was not afraid.

Rather than that, their trustworthiness was stronger.

“Thank you very much. My name is Rain Guardon. I was appointed a warrior at the age of 12 and started my adventure at the age of 13. My motto is ‘If it’s not the best, let’s find the next best way’. I want to keep a good relationship with you to the end. Thank you very much. .”

“I’m Ron, and I started my adventure at 13 with Lane. I’m a scout. Take care of me.”

“I am..”

I was silent for a while at their introduction. I didn’t want to use a name made without the meaning of ‘Ellie’.

But there is no other name, so I have no choice.

“You don’t have a name? There are cases like that. I understand.”

“Yes? Then I’ll build it for you.”

The man calmly started thinking of my name.

“Lian Serwin. How are you?”

“..isn’t that a too contrived name?”

“What do you think? It’s a perfect name.”

“Um… what does that mean…?”

“About the place where I and Lane were.. Lian means companion, Serwin means salvation… but isn’t it a bit bad?”

Salvation, colleague. It was a bit direct, but it was a word that suited me now.

it was good. I feel like they already think of me as a colleague.

“It’s so good. Thank you. Ah.. but I heard ‘director’ and ‘director’…”

“It’s already done. You’ll never see it again, and the kids there who are in a similar situation to you have already been evacuated to another place.”

Surprised by his words, I looked at the place where the ‘director’ resided. Every time I look at it, bad memories will come back to me, so I tried my best not to stare at it.

There was no appearance of a luxurious mansion perched on a hill. As if it had been a ruin from the beginning, only pitch-black timbers were barely hanging over it.

The things that held me back seemed to disappear.

“Oh wait. If you don’t like it, say it. If you cry, you’ll feel more sorry for nothing.”

“Shall we get out of here? First of all, we have something to take care of separately… Lian… Lian-san, please evacuate to a safe place first.”

“Yes..!”

The face of the prince he had read in the book became clear. I came to respect him. got to look at him

Her hand was filled with silver light. I painted a child named ‘Ellie’ who cried sadly in darkness and silence with it.

It seemed that the series of unhappiness that seemed to never end and all the pain had disappeared.

That’s how I participated in the journey to defeat the demon king.

“If you had come sooner, this wouldn’t have happened.. It’s because of you.. You said you’re a hero.. Then shouldn’t everything be resolved..?”

“I’m sorry. It was my negligence.”

“Why…why did you kill my husband?”

“sorry.”

“Why are you catching a strict person?”

“..what?”

“I killed it. The warrior is on his way to catch a demon, but he hangs up and won’t let go.”

“You… who are you… who are you, a person with a family…”

“So the reason is…”

“Son of a b*tch, because of you.”

“Where’s mom…?”

“If it wasn’t for that bastard…”

“Dad.. Dad.. don’t die.. please..”

“What’s the difference between you and the devil… just die… die.”

“No guys, that’s me…”

“Rain, you’re a warrior. Don’t regret being caught in a place like this. I’m preparing to say that I won in a brighter and more peaceful place. I’m fine.”

“Why..”

“Because it’s really okay. Let’s act separately for now. I’ll take these people away, so see you somewhere in the woods later. Stay with Lian. I’ll go find them.”

“No… I…”

“hurry.”

“..You must come. I’m sorry.”

..

He is now hiding his face in his lap with his head covered, avoiding the malevolent gazes in a deserted alleyway.

He laments over and over again, recalling the director’s Achilles’ tendon being cut off and making it impossible for him to function again, cutting down those who were the people who begged for his life, and the malice that people lost their place to go.

For a moment, ‘Wouldn’t it have been a bit more comfortable if I had just left it to Rain?’ I heard regret, and at the same time, I was disgusted with my own disgust and made a sound like a beast. However, the sound sank to the floor without reaching anyone’s ears.

After mumbling for several minutes, he raised his voice one level lower.

“I didn’t know it would turn out like this… I thought I could really become a hero this time… Where did it get twisted…? A lot of people died… I really can’t fail from now on…”

soliloquy. It connotes an obsession with the word hero and a fear of failure.

After talking to himself in a watery voice as if he was going to die soon, he slapped himself on the cheek a couple of times and stood up. Then, as if clearing his voice, he cleared his throat and carefully moved his feet to look for his comrades.

A forced smile hung over their faces to reassure them.
