I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King

21 – Sword Master (1)

He raised his sword.

Slashed the enemy.

I went to war and stood on the battlefield to prove myself.

But now I… What are you doing?

I stared into the sky with empty eyes while holding the sword.

What am I looking into the sky because I want to see?

Did I go crazy or did I miss it?

Gotta shave your beard somewhere.

Cut your hair.

I felt like I was nagging myself about why I had grown so much.

“…hahahaha.”

He laughed and began cutting down the remaining villains around him.

Three months ago, I cut a villain.

The next day, two people.

The next day, the four of us…

That’s how I cut over a hundred or a thousand people.

Why did I cut the villain?

Why did I swing my sword?

Why?

I swung my sword for a reason.

What happened three months ago?

“…Ah.”

I remembered something.

It was a memory I wanted to forget.

However, memories are not easily forgotten.

Han Soo-jung is dead.

I was killed by the villains while carrying out a ridiculous operation.

Swinging his sword, he brutally killed the superior who gave the order, and further killed the villain at random.

It didn’t matter who it was.

I just wanted to kill him.

No. I felt like I had to kill myself to free my mind.

Why?

Why did I end up like this?

… Ah. Right.

From the beginning, I was a doll.

A doll that moves only by being tied to a thread.

Because I was an idiot and a doll who couldn’t see my surroundings and didn’t care, only looked at the top and had the will to become like that.

The only time a doll becomes human is when it is tied with a string and someone moves it.

But since the mover died, she became a puppet again.

‘For what should I move forward?’

It was the first time.

I was walking aimlessly for the first time.

I was empty with no purpose, and the situation around me was the worst.

The heroes around me were afraid of me and looked at me like a villain.

The villains around me were trying countless times to kill me.

The name Sword Saint has disappeared, and I have become cruel enough to be called a Sword Demon… Survived somehow

I killed because I didn’t want to die.

I think I lived because I wanted to live.

But what does that mean now?

I have nothing more left.

It’s completely over, so what’s the meaning of what I’m doing?

Since a doll that can no longer move has no value in existence, wouldn’t it be right that it should disappear?

“…Yes.”

I slowly raised my sword and aimed it at my neck.

Now I want to die and I will die.

I was thinking of giving up my life because I didn’t want to live.

I vowed to end it by adorning the last blood with my blood.

“Wait a minute!!!”

But I couldn’t.

When someone called me anxiously, I slowly turned my head to confirm.

It was a girl who called me.

A girl with impressive silver hair.

He was a warrior.

“…A hero. What happened? I don’t think we were close.”

“…That’s right. Still, he was a comrade with whom we talked a few times. We continued to fight by his side.”

“…Is that so? So I asked what was going on.”

I stare at him and ask, but all he gets back is silence.

When there was no answer, a sigh came out, saying that it was only dragging on for time.

I tried to turn her head to swing the sword again.

“Don’t die!!!!”

A voice came from behind urgently.

“Why?”

“Yes…?”

“Why are you telling me not to die?”

“…Because I want you to live on.”

“…That’s funny. Do you think we’re friends just because we’ve talked a few times?”

“Even if they’re not friends! I don’t want to lose power and talent like you!”

“…Are you trying to save me because you need a weapon after all? At least I thought of you as a comrade…”

“Uh… Huh? Ah. No… That’s not it…!”

“…If you don’t have anything to say, stop.”

I tried to turn my head now to really swing the sword.

Another loud voice was heard.

That’s a very absurd word.

“I.I!! I will be by your side! So please!! I will be your friend, not your comrade-in-arms, so please don’t die!!!”

“…What?”

I was dumbfounded for a moment and paused for a moment.

Just as I was about to answer, “What the hell are you talking about?” Darkness covered my vision.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the ceiling of a familiar room.

“…It’s a dream.”

※

Three months have passed.

In the meantime, many things have happened.

First, I moved house.

A four-room apartment.

Even though it was a bit unreasonable even for a hero who has beaten a lot of villains to find an apartment in Seoul in an era where house prices are fierce.

Should I call it an acquaintance chance?

Once upon a time, when I was talking to Sujeong Han, she said that she would help me without asking.

Even though I firmly refused, saying that I really didn’t need it, they arranged for me.

I needed to move to a good place anyway, thinking of my sisters, so I received it thankfully and was able to save quite a bit of money.

After moving like that, the first thing to do was to treat the sister’s wounds.

Because I grew up under trashy parents and got hit all over the place, so I had a lot of scars all over my body.

Especially when I saw the scar on Yoo Soo-ah’s back… I almost had the urge to kill my father.

I started going to the hospital to treat my wounds, but since the scars could only be treated with mana, the amount was formidable and it was a bit of a burden.

This time too, Han Su-jeong stepped in.

I tried to refuse because I couldn’t get help again because I didn’t have enough housing, but I finally accepted because I was told to think of her sister.

I have made quite a lot of progress now, and I was in a situation where everything was cured except for the small parts.

“Ugh…”

As I was reminiscing about the past for a while, I heard a muttering somewhere and turned my head.

Yusua was sleeping next to her.

Are you having a good dream? Tossing and turning with a smile on your lips is something that looks pretty

Secondly, where did the blanket go?

I must have covered you with a blanket.

“I sleep cold again. I don’t even cover myself with a blanket…”

It’s still cold in spring, so even if you tell me to sleep in warm clothes, people say I like these clothes or something.

I’m going to look for a blanket, hoping not to catch a cold.

“Umm…”

Again, someone mumbled and turned his head to the side, and this time he saw Yoo Seo-eun sleeping next to him.

“How cool.”

Are you dreaming the same good dreams?

Third, why are you sleeping without a blanket?

“…You look cute.”

It was like this almost every morning.

The pillow has disappeared or is missing, so I look for it and find that I am sleeping soundly under the bed.

I must have pulled up the blanket and slept on it, but when I woke up, it was pushed under the bed or under the bed, etc…

Thanks to two criminals with bad sleeping habits, the bed was a mess every time I woke up.

Looking around, she quietly pulled up the blanket to cover her sister and got out of bed.

“I don’t really listen to you when I tell you to sleep alone.”

After we moved in, we furnished the house and gave each sister a room.

It was a comfortable room with a high-quality bed, high-quality pillows, and high-quality blankets, but it was no longer necessary.

Because her sisters wanted to sleep with me… because you asked for it.

The day after the phone call with Han Soo-jung, the sister said that the night was scary and wanted to sleep with her.

I shouldn’t…

After that, I kept asking for favors, and afterward, I didn’t say anything at all and continued to come to my room as if it was decided and start sleeping.

I couldn’t find the right time to talk, so we ended up sleeping together until now after we moved.

I never took her sister in because I had my own taste or because I was crazy about s*xuality.

“Uh cha cha cha cha…”

After coming out, I closed the curtains in the living room and the bright sunlight caught my eyes.

Since it’s quite upstairs, you can see the cityscape at a glance.

He stretched out, saying, “Let’s spend the day energetically.”

※

After the sisters woke up, we decided to have breakfast.

[Next news. Villain Odette stormed the building around 7pm last night. Recent… ]

When I turned on the TV, the morning news came on.

It’s always a villain issue, but strangely, it seems to have increased recently.

“Hmm… Both Hoyeon and Sujeong must be quite busy.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because there are so many villains these days, it seems like the heroes are going to be busy.”

“Hmm~ I see. It’s fortunate. My brother isn’t a hero.”

“Why?”

“You can’t go out and see if you’re busy. We don’t have mana.”

Yoo Seo-eun took a bite of toast and pouted her mouth pouting.

Maybe there was some progress in the relationship after Christmas, but this time I was able to talk comfortably with Han Soo-jung.

Of course, the eyes of the sisters stung, but… How to say I must say she gave her credit.

After receiving attention for a few days, there was an atmosphere where people would understand even if I called Han Su-jeong by her first name.

“By the way brother. Didn’t you say you had work today?”

“Huh? Ah. Yeah. That’s right.”

I must have spent quite a bit of money. I think I can live well enough if I live sparingly until the end of this year.

Since the sisters are growing up now and have been very poor in nutrition, it was necessary to take care of them.

Of course, even if you take care of it, it won’t grow rapidly or change noticeably, but shouldn’t you save it now?

Thus, I was in need of money, and I was thinking of going to find out about the academy instructor exam.

“As for the academy instructor… Come in late?”

“Wouldn’t it?”

“Chi… I’m sorry. I can’t see Seo-jin oppa all day.”

“You guys will have to go to school later, too, so it’s the same thing that you can’t see them at that time.”

“Huh. But you can still see them until then, and if you’re at the same school, you can still see them.”

In the meantime, I heard the story of the sisters bit by bit and came to know what had happened.

That was the reason why I didn’t send him to school right away.

It’s been a while, but the wounds on Sister Hana were so deep that they couldn’t be easily erased.

As long as I had scars related to school, I only expected that I would go next year or in the second half.

Of course, they said they would go right away if they could go with me.

“Cheer up. Brother. If you are brother, you will surely be able to do well.”

“That’s right! There is no one as talented as my older brother!”

“hahahaha… Thank you.”

Until now, I’ve never shown my skills, so I don’t know what you’re looking at and saying that.

I just laughed assuming it was cheering.

After that, after breakfast, I briefly decided to make up my mind.

“Have a good trip! Oppa!”

“Come back. Seojin older brother.”

I left the house, being greeted by Yoo Seo-eun, who smiled and waved, and Yoo Soo-ah, who greeted me by changing the title to older brother, saying that I don’t know where I saw it, but that the titles overlapped.

I arrived by car and entered Building A, which has now become my old workplace…

“Uhhhhh… home… I want to go home…”

“Villains… you f*cking… bastards… why are they showing up so often these days…”

“Hey… Do you have any PAX Aid…? Or at least give me some LXX… Give me some strength…”

People who didn’t know whether they were zombies or heroes were complaining of pain here and there.
