I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

39 – Yes, I am a real asshole.

“Then I will continue my search for the thesis thief.”

“Wait, Faust! there… I was really wrong. I only knew that the letter was proof of my nemesis… ”

“Honestly, Serena, you know that you are a very strong suspect, right? There’s a 70% chance that you’re the culprit in me—”

“Faust. talk to me Am I fooled too? Can we start over?”

“Oh, really shut up.”

Faust annoyedly pushed away the clinging saintess. Beatrice clung to Faust’s legs as tenaciously as a young daughter who interfered with her father’s work.

“Faust! Faust! All of this is because of the alienation between Serena and Kwak Dong-soo. If it wasn’t for the letter incident, things wouldn’t have come this far… Whoa… ugh… .”

“Hey. Of course, first of all, Serena and Kwak Dong-soo are the most fucked up. But are you the same? I don’t need it all, let go of your legs. It’s annoying.”

“Nope! I can’t let go!”

“Oh, you are really annoying. We have to catch the culprit, really.”

“Expel Row!”

“Ouch!!”

The combined attack and defense magic that pushed back the opponent hit Beatrice. The saintess, clinging to her like a leech, clung to her belly and floated up, then plummeted to the floor.

“ah! Ahhh!! it hurts… ! Whoa… sick… ”

“huh. It’s a punishment that touched the master’s body. Where do you bring the dirty rag’s dirty water to the master?”

By the way, this is not the magic I wrote.

Misha had attacked Beatrice at will.

“What is an apple? Master just explained it because he didn’t want to be misunderstood as speculation, but he doesn’t have the desire to reestablish the relationship now. I am completely done with you.”

Misha clung to me in a more friendly way than usual and even crossed her arms. As if showing off to someone and showing off.

To be honest, even though I was close with Misha, it was almost the first time that Misha approached me without feeling this distance because our relationship is not equal.

Arms folded. When did you become so bold, you stupid elf?

“Huh… Whoa… it hurts… i’m sick… ”

“You don’t have to sympathize, Master.”

I didn’t show sympathy, but Misha took the lead first.

Beatrice clutching her stomach and gagging.

To begin with, that guy isn’t even a combatant, so there’s no way he can survive if he’s hit properly by Misha’s emotional defense magic.

Still, he crawled on all fours and grabbed my ankle again.

“Pow… St… wrong… Done. wrong… Because I did… yo, forgive me… ”

Beatrice slowly lifted her head while feeling a stomach ache. I wanted to communicate with Faust. Either apologize or talk. No, I felt like I would feel more at ease even if I was cursed at.

But Faust’s radiance, with his back to the sun, contained only nothingness.

He no longer resented Beatrice.

More precisely, I wasn’t interested.

Faust was naturally convinced that Beatrice was misunderstanding something, and he was curious about the content of the misunderstanding, but he was literally just curious.

“What is it?”

“Ah, that was it. Now that you know, it’s okay.”

… It was a bit of an impression.

Now that the secret has been solved, Beatrice has no business, no interest, no ties.

Faust’s eyes said so.

That made Beatrice impatient.

‘You can’t let it go like this. Then it’s really over. The chance for reconciliation will be gone forever’

Suddenly, memories of the days when Faust and I lived together at the academy came to mind. Small and insignificant memories that have nothing to do with the current situation.

The warm sunlight and the exceptionally wide bed for sleeping alone.

The savory smell tickled my nose and rubbed my eyes when I woke up.

I saw the back of a handsome man wearing an apron.

“Oh, are you awake, Veronica?”

“Faust… What are you doing?」

“Make breakfast”

“that… I’ll do that.”

“it’s okay. You had a hard time studying all night last night, right? It’s good to avenge your parents, but take a break sometimes.”

“… … … … .”

I don’t remember what kind of food Faust served me then. However, at that moment, only a calm mind that allows you to forget your parents’ revenge for a while remains clearly in your mind.

“Faust is kind. Usually men never do anything like cook.”

“Well… It’s just because I’ve been sleeping for a long time.」

“It’s a bit of a foul. He has a handsome face, good hair, and is even kind.”

“Hey, you don’t have to praise me that much for cooking once.”

“I’m glad I met Faust. Since my parents died, I have lived alone without a family, but it feels like I have a new family.”

“Because I am also a single-blooded orphan with no blood in this world. I’m glad I met you, Veronica.”

— Why do these memories come to mind? It’s really nothing special, it’s just a short time we had breakfast together.

Oh, I see.

Is it because of the despairing contrast between the handsome Faust who looked at me with his chin resting on his chin at that time and the red-eyed Faust who stared at me indifferently while wearing demonic horns?

A man who was so perfect is now a fallen demon. A Sura with a vengeance towards humans.

What corrupted him was… me?

I studied so hard at the cathedral in order to save humanity… Saint, Beatrice?

‘How should I pay for this sin… So if Faust kills people in the future, it’s my fault too, and above all… I don’t want to let Faust become a mass murderer. I want to believe that there is still hope’

Not just to be forgiven myself. Beatrice stood up with all her heart for humanity and for Faust himself.

“Faust. Even if you say you can’t help but hate me, don’t walk the path of evil because of me. Your kindness for human beings will still remain.”

“Human beings are also human beings. What I have felt after living here for several years is that people in this world are not worthy of salvation. A decision has already been made on this point.”

“like that… Are you so unforgiving? I-I’ll do anything! I’ll apologize over and over again! Faust, what a fool I was! Now that I think about it, Gerena left for the demon continent long before you were summoned to this world, and there is no eyewitness information that she has ever returned to the continent of Pangea. It means that you and Gerena never had a chance to see each other. I was so preoccupied with the blood letter that I didn’t even find such an obvious loophole.”

“… … … … … … … ”

“Nevertheless, I arbitrarily concluded that you had betrayed me and had an affair with Gerena, and I severely harassed you. Now I understand why you protested, “Why are you like this?” If you really think about it from your point of view, how absurd it must have been… Really, Faust has endured a lot, I will admit everything. How hard and unfair it must have been to have been bullied without doing anything wrong. And since we were bullied by thousands and tens of thousands of people, it’s only natural that we feel bad about it. Even if you were like me, you would have wanted to kill me! Still, Faust was very patient. So, so, even now… Please give me a chance to apologize now!”

“I will answer in one word. no.”

“Faust!”

“Misha.”

Faust completely covered his ears and left the elf to clean up.

Misha kicked Beatrice, who was trying to approach her ex-lover, excitedly, like someone who had waited for this moment. It was unbelievable leg strength that came from a slender body. The saintess felt the pain of breaking her ribs.

“Cheuk! Sigh… Sigh… You, you are an elf who took Faust’s lessons at the academy. I never thought I’d be hiding this power. I had no idea… We didn’t get along badly when we were at the academy, right? I’m begging you, so please get out of the way. I have something I must say to Faust… ”

“Shut up, human bitch.”

Misha spoke the ancient Ishmir language in a cold voice.

Now, the Pangea continent collectively uses one common language, but in the past, when each tribe had a different language, Ishmir was an essential language for religious people who must learn to read the scriptures. Although now it has degenerated into a dead language that only scholars learn for research purposes.

Beatrice, a follower of the Ishmir religion, learned the ancient Ishmir language while studying the scriptures at a monastery.

Beatrice replied in ancient Ishmirian.

“You know Ishmir, too. How do elves… No, more than that, why did you talk to me in Ishmir? Is it to keep Faust from finding out about the conversation?”

“There was something I really wanted to say to you from long ago, but don’t cling to Master anymore. what? Are you sorry? What kind of apples are apples in this yard? They’re like stupid human women who don’t notice. There is now Misha next to Master.”

“… I was once his lover too, and we still have an unfinished story between us.”

“No. Master doesn’t care about a bitch like you anymore. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, did you think we could reconcile again? no Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I have nothing to do with you. Do you understand?”

“… … … .”

Beatrice found that Faust, having removed the annoying lump, was asking Serena questions about the thesis without even looking at her. Are you really not interested in me?

“Faust… look at me look this way… .”

“Pu-huh. What do I have to regret now? You should do well when Why are you throwing away that good thing?”

“… Iknow, right. I am really sick.”

Beatrice shed tears mixed with self-deprecation.

Even after thinking about it, I couldn’t come up with any logic to refute the elf’s words. Even if I look at it, I’m sick, but what?

She no longer tried to catch Faust, but Misha continued to trample on her as she cried.

Meanwhile, Faust was urging Serena, as if he had already lost interest in a woman like Beatrice.

To be honest, I was curious about why Beatrice hated him. However, when the reason was revealed, and even the non-special reason was revealed, interest cooled. Beatrice had no interest in it anymore. just a stupid girl

Rather, the moment of finally finding out the thesis thief is just around the corner. The prime suspect was cornered.

Serena has nowhere to back down.

“Hey Serena. If you do not answer within 5 seconds, you will be killed. answer right away Did you steal the thesis?”

“Now, wait a minute, Faust! 5 seconds?! No, all of it.”

“5, 4, 3… ”

“too fast! for a moment… !!”

Serena sweated while looking alternately at Faust, who was folding her five fingers one by one, clearly faster than the speed of a second, and O/X Pierrot, who had flown over the top of her head before she knew it.
