Only the Party Members Returned, Not the Hero

chapter 1



1. Only party members returned

1.

“Ah, is it sick? Then you can rest.”

It doesn’t hurt.

“You don’t have to worry. Anyway, anyway…. I will take care of everything.”

I’m worried.

“Even if I give my life, I will definitely be as good as you….”

It’s burdensome.

“… Wait, go to the bathroom.”

“Oh, yes! Have a nice trip! Relax!”

Awkwardness rose to the tip of my chin and I kicked out of my seat and got up.

I couldn’t understand this situation.

There has never been a case where the magician Elish was so devoted to a man she hadn’t known.

She said that even if she was a hero destined to save humanity, she was so proud that she wouldn’t even treat anyone unless she recognized her….

Because I was a very dirty girl.

When she got to the bathroom, turned on the water and washed her face a couple of times, she looked in the mirror with her wet face.

Nothing has changed for me.

It was just that he had just graduated from the warrior school at the top of his class and now officially held the title of ‘Hero’, and even I thought he was just a man far from ‘kindness’ or ‘justice’.

It was like that yesterday, it was like that today, and it will be like that tomorrow.

Then why the hell?

I wonder if the wizard who treated me like an idiot is looking at me with such a loving face.

“No, no.”

It’s not even love. That, beyond love, is the feeling of looking at a research work that a paranoid scholar has devoted his life to to succeed.

I remembered her and her past.

Ten years ago? A year ago?

No, the day before.

“… It’s not that you don’t have talent. If you really try to teach, the taste for teaching will drop.”

“I think we are making good progress.”

“Ha, Jindo. Okay. There’s no progress that the four guys who were born with each talent of a hero can’t keep up with. So, just because you know how to write a line of magic and draw a few magic circles, do you think you’ve learned a great principle? Do you think so? Do you think you can become a wizard just because you know how to use a few lines of magic formulas that have been systematized and made efficient by anyone other than an idiot?”

“I never said that.”

“Why? Didn’t you say that magic is inefficient? I didn’t say that learning the principles and feeling the flow of magic is a waste of useless troops.”

“… ….”

I didn’t say that today.

Just at the hero school.

When discussing the effectiveness of magic, it is said that you should feel the flow of magic, or that you should understand the source of magic letters rather than using magic circles.

I just said that it would be more efficient in warfare to mass-produce 100 people who can use fireballs and put them in the rear rather than conducting such an inefficient class.

Elish, a wizard with high self-esteem, wouldn’t have accepted it right away, but if it’s my fault for not thinking about it, then it’s my fault.

Since he said that remark in the first year of the warrior school, I have never seen Elish’s smiling face.

I didn’t even smile from the beginning.

So, after that, I just kept talking nonsense. Because it seemed difficult to restore the relationship anyway.

“But why did you change like that?”

When I opened the bathroom door muttering to myself, what I saw in front of me was Tanya, a knight one head smaller than me.

What, Tania, Tanya…. She used to be called one way or another, but she, like Elish, had a bad relationship with me.

I didn’t ask why. I heard that there was a family business that she had to solve after becoming a warrior, but she said that it was messed up because of me, who was the chief every time, so she grinded her teeth.

That doesn’t mean you can’t do it while watching. Because entering the hero school, and entering as a commoner like me, meant that I was an existence that could not do anything but work hard in society.

Right now, if only I had the talent to earn a living, and had I come from a normal background, I would have gone that way.

Glory, honor, things like that.

There were people who came in wanting something like that, but it seems that the desire to live on my own was stronger.

Tanya also has a similar plethora. If you really wanted to inherit the family business or Nabal, you would have been stronger than me. If it wasn’t like that, it must have been God of Fate’s arrangement that it wasn’t necessary to achieve it.

I kept arguing with you, so I said, “Oh, I don’t know.”

After I said that, Gilgil went on a rampage and tried to kill me, so I remember hitting him several times.

After that, when he formed the Expedition of Heroes, he took on the role of a vanguard knight that no one would do.

At first, I was thinking of sticking a knife into my back like that, but because I acted as a knight more diligently than I thought, I now have some trust in my work.

Even though they still looked at me like a f*ck to the point that they wouldn’t even say hello to each other.

I did.

“Good morning, Ellen.”

From today, something sweet.

“Did you wash your face? You had magic lessons with Elish. Isn’t it hard?”

For some reason, he made such an tickling expression on his own.

“Yeah, you know. I know you’re working hard, but if you ever feel like taking a break, it’s okay to tell me.”

With affectionate eyes.

“I am your knight. Because I have a duty to make you a place to rest.”

Without hesitation, he grabbed my hand, which was still damp, and wiped it off with a soft towel he had brought from somewhere.

Cells used to scream that they were scared to death.

“It’s okay, I’m fine.”

Tak, I took her hand out a little rougher, but her subtle smile didn’t go unnoticed. The firm trust in Tania’s eyes made me strong. Like Medusa’s smile.

“Yes, because you are strong…. And, since it’s okay right now, call me Tanya.”

“You hated that I called you that.”

As for the difference between Tania and Tanya, people who were simply on good terms with each other were called Tanya, and those with whom they were not on good terms were known as Tania. So, sometimes, when I was referring to Tania and then calling her Tanya, she would stare at me with a rotten expression.

“It’s okay.”

“Suddenly?”

“Yeah, even suddenly is fine. If you want me to, I’ll never let other people call me Tanya. But you can call it that you are a warrior Actually, it’s okay if you don’t care too much about my opinion….”

“… ….”

I feel like dying.

Yes, to be honest, it is not a bad thing to receive love and trust from Elish or Tanya in this way. To put it simply, the two of them are aristocrats, come from noble families, are beautiful, have outstanding abilities, do their job well, and do everything they can’t do.

But right now, up until yesterday, I looked at people as if they were idiots, and now, if I look pretty and look like I can’t live, I’m confused about whether this is a dreamland or real world, and I think I’ll get a mental illness.

“I’ll go for a walk.”

“Yes. Shall we go together?”

“No, I have something to think about.”

“Yes, have a good trip.”

Her hand shakes slightly.

I ran out of the bathroom as if running away.

It was more comfortable to deal with thousands of demon soldiers. My face turned pale, and I hurriedly headed for the garden outside the mansion. The strong outer wall that had protected me from the three nasty women until yesterday felt like a prison.

In the garden where I headed to because I wanted to be alone, I saw a person’s back.

I thought that in this spacious warrior’s mansion there was not even an inch of land where I could be buried, so I rubbed my eyes and checked the owner’s back.

In the garden, Saint EL, the core of the expedition, was sitting on a bench.

I let out a sigh of relief.

Saint EL was a relentless and relentless evil relationship that had been passed down since the hero school. If you ask her why she had a bad relationship with a saintly woman, she would just say that the most easy and least interesting class in school was the religious doctrine class.

I was really uncooperative even when I thought about it, and that scratched her saintly self-esteem and self-confidence. But I, who had never felt the grace of God even as much as an ant in my entire life, just didn’t like the religious classes that robbed me of my faith just because I was gifted with the talent of a warrior.

That’s why, as much as the saintess, EL, thought of me as Satan.

No matter how strange the day started, no matter how messed up Elish and Tania were, I was sure that she would keep her rationality and treat me like yesterday.

A saintess is the daughter of a god, that’s what she is. She should be the same

“… Ellen.”

I can hear her abstract voice.

“I love you.”

“What the f*ck.”
