We Defeated the Demon and Disbanded Without Any Conflict

95 – Containment of Cowards

+++

A 4-person room on the opposite side of where he was lying. After taking care of each other with a fair fight over their turn, they sit a little apart.

The atmosphere was not that good. As if we were measuring our liver, we were just staring at each other.

Have you ever had a good relationship with someone who pushed your body? I’ve been in the room for quite a long time… Each of them thought the same thing and slightly frowned.

Even though they have no contact with men, aren’t there cases where they rush more recklessly to become people who don’t know anything?

He begins to compare the way they enticingly seduce him in his imagination and the cowardly invitation to eat.

Indeed, the four of them were thinking the same thing without an inch of error.

“…I heard that the hero and the first hero’s party were colleagues?”

“What are you talking about?”

Solar bluntly replied that it was not, but in Myrsene’s head, only Ron’s words were the truth and the truth. There’s no way the guy who made a promise to you would lie.

“I already know everything. The hero said it himself.”

Did he say it himself? Did Myrsene give you that much trust? Or did you use your power to pressure him?

If it was the third case, it would never have gone smoothly.

Lane’s gaze shifted slightly to the side. He aimed at his own iron sword, which was leaning against the wall.

“I was expecting it to some extent. And I didn’t find out through pressure, so please don’t make such a scary expression. I’m still the princess of a country.”

“Oh, that’s scary.”

Sola said. With an expression that said he wasn’t afraid at all, as if he was gently scratching away his heart.

He said he already knew, and Ron also revealed the truth, so there was no need to cover it up any further. Of course, we talked about keeping secrets separately.

“So, what’s the reason you’re showing that kind of attitude to the hero? You’ve broken up. You don’t have to worry about it anymore, do you?”

“We owe a lot to Ron.”

At Lian’s words, Mirsen groaned and lightly touched her lower lip.

“The hero said it himself. He defeated the demon king and was dissolved without any conflict. Wasn’t the hero trying to erase the debt?”

“Without any conflict…”

Lian muttered as if lost in thought. Conflict is a different concept depending on the individual’s point of view.

Someone may consider a simple quarrel as something that a group should have to go through, but someone else may consider it a conflict. And Lian belonged to the low side of conflict.

According to her standards, the party led by Rain Guardon had quite a bit of conflict. There was a time when they got into an argument with Solar, and Odrox had some friction with him because of his personality in the early days of joining the group.

Of course, he didn’t raise his voice and completely ignore the other person’s opinion, but according to his own judgment, it was definitely a conflict.

Lian didn’t know that it was nothing short of a miracle that he had fought only that much for such a long time. The church’s paladins didn’t talk to her, and when they occasionally went on adventures for service, most of them were human groups who were talking farts to impress them. Of course, there were times when I raised my voice.

The view on these conflicts was the same for Solar, who had the skills to support her unassuming personality, and also for Myrsene, who lived an adventurer life but had not yet accumulated much experience.

But Lane was different. Having seen many people from the perspective of an observer, she has seen many scenes of groups collapsing due to conflict.

There were many people who died while risking their lives in an argument in front of their eyes, not knowing what the real urgency was.

I’ve seen people who only pushed forward their opinions while developing their voices, but soon forgot even the original topic of conversation and criticized each other.

Adventurers, mercenaries, cadets and so on. Regardless of occupation or race, it was destroyed due to conflict.

“Yes. There was no conflict at all. But conflict and debt are different concepts, right?”

At Rain’s sharp words, Solar and Lian looked at her.

Until now, there were many cases where the three of Ron, Odrox, and Lane insisted that there was no conflict and passed over, so now that they are in the position of the majority, they acted like that without even knowing it.

It was not Mirsen who would miss their discrepancy.

“I don’t think you two think so, do you?”

“So? Did we have some conflict? Or do you not think you are in debt?”

Lane’s voice seemed to confirm the truth, but for some reason they felt very weakly threatened.

“No. I was just… looking at you. I feel the same way…”

Rian, pushed by Lane’s pressure, shook her head like a crow.

Solar calmed down for a moment and then spoke.

“Princess. It’s been a while since she’s new, so I don’t know, but we’ve been together for over 10 years. There can’t be such a thing as minor conflicts. Isn’t everyone’s life like that?”

It seems quite plausible to convey the words he heard from his party.

Although his height and youthful face, which are shorter than Mirsen’s, spoil the plausible atmosphere.

“As Lane said, debt and conflict are different matters. We decided to repay Ron until we pay off our debt.”

“..Is that so? Regardless of whether the hero agrees or not, what will you do if you pay off the debt? Are you going to go your separate ways again and break up completely?”

“I don’t know why you ask such a thing…”

“I will confess my feelings once I have lifted all the burden on my heart and Ron’s condition has completely improved.”

“what?”

Solar growled at Lian’s words.

She tried to say something, but Myrsene jumped the ball.

“Does the saintess like the hero as a member of the opposite sex?”

“Yes.”

A straight nod.

Lian’s bold action made Solar feel that something was falling behind.

It was Sola who was stagnant because she was inspired by the fact that she had found Ron’s existence first.

If you stay like this, you will be pushed back. did you think that She hurriedly opened her mouth.

“me too.”

“Yes?”

“Because I like you too, I will confess too.”

However, to say such a thing now only seems to be riding on Lian’s words.

Even so, her confession caused quite a stir.

Although he showed a sloppy look to Ron, it was at least the first time they had seen Solar convey his feelings so straightforwardly.

I’ve never had a reaction like this when talking to women before.

Solar said it as if she was being chased, but somehow she seemed relieved.

“What is this…”

“I’ll confess too. Indebtedness and liking are two different things.”

The final blow came to the bewildered Myrsene.

This time, it was a very bold prediction. Rain calmly jumped on the flow without a change in expression.

The air has changed.

“..I think the hero will feel burdened if all three of them confess?”

“I’m going to take a step-by-step approach so that that doesn’t happen.”

“If the hero chooses only one person, will the others just step back?”

“I used to think so.”

Solar said a subtle objection, ‘It used to be like that’.

“But not now.”

“Then now…”

“I will eliminate the loophole so that you can never choose just one person.”

Mirsen’s brow furrowed. It was as if I had fallen into a swamp where my ankles were sticky.

Polygamy is common on the continent, but of course main wife and concubine are separated. What happens to a person who becomes a concubine?

“The one who becomes a concubine…”

“That will never happen. Never.”

It was just Rian’s words that contained only spirit, but for some reason, I could feel the sincerity.

Rather than the hostility of ‘I have to become the right room’, I felt the cooperative spirit of ‘everyone becomes the right room’.

I dared to say that I had gone mad.

“What if polygamy were abolished on all continents?”

“Then, we will change the law.”

said Lane.

Myrsen was sure they had feelings for him.

simple colleague? A crush on the opposite sex? It was such a thick and sticky feeling that I couldn’t even touch it.

It was like opening a box that shouldn’t have been opened.

As if her own words and Rian’s confession became a catalyst, the feelings they had worked so hard to seal came out.

It didn’t burst out, it flowed out.

It’s not like a flashy heart like a firecracker. Dark and tenacious was like a collection of the dark side of human beings related to love.

Mirsen’s legs trembled slightly. Noticing him, Lian put a hand on Mirsen’s thigh and smiled brightly.

Seeing her gestures, her laughter, and the way she lit the fuse, Mirsen changed her opinion of Lian.

From a weak person to someone who can’t understand what they’re thinking.

“So, what do you think?”

“Yeah..? What?”

“What do you think of Ron?”

He could have escaped from the three pairs of eyes staring at him, but Mirsen managed to meet their gazes once, while slightly trembling his legs and fingertips, and confidently declared an all-out war.

“I don’t think you’re smaller than your heart.”

At her words, Solar smiled and said.

“Really? Do you know what Ron is like? Do you know why he wears bandages?”

“It’s a scar. It’s also hacked up. I know that much, and a person’s value doesn’t disappear with that.”

“Do you know that those are all wounds you created yourself? You can’t stop even now…”

Solar speaks as if she is shooting at her.

The end of the speech is blurred, as if something was crying while talking to himself.

Mirsen knew that the wound was caused by herself, but was unable to open her mouth because of Solar’s momentum.

Solar continued to speak without looking at Mirsen.

“..Don’t you know that the condition was so serious that you could even hear auditory hallucinations in the past? That you’re hiding it from us…”

By the end, the tone had become so damp that it was hard to tell who was pushing it.

Aside from self-destruction, he was able to clearly communicate what a man named Ron was to her.

Seeing Sola like that, Mirsen starts rubbing her eyes in disbelief.

It was because the expression made by the bold wizard, who didn’t seem to match tears, and didn’t seem to make his eyebrows droop, let alone tears, was that shocking.
