Chapter 294 – The Hero’s Nemesis

“…”
​
My head hardened.
If the enemy was attacking me, I would rather smirk and slash it, but how should I deal with the bewildered look of that model-like beautiful girl with her two eyes wide open?
​
“You were the instructor’s…Assistant, weren’t you?”
​
Layet spoke first, and Almiraj smiled.
Unlike me, her reaction was very quick.
She kissed me on the cheek and pulled away from her.
​
“Then I’ll see you at school. Instructor.”
​
And she left her room with a very leisurely gait.
…Well, it’s embarrassing, but there’s no such thing as an adult.

Wait? Isn’t it? It’s the instructor and the assistant, isn’t there something ethically wrong?
​
“Excuse me…”
“Sorry for coming in without knocking.”
“Oh, no.”
​
Layette politely bowed her back.
And pointed her arms out of the room.
​
“It was discharge day, right? Shall we go?”
“Where are you going?”
“Heart. Soon the lecturer will be assigned a room to stay, but it hasn’t been decided yet. Coincidentally, the date of the heir’s discharge is also today.”
“Is that so.”
“In case you are still ill, I will send you off to where the heir of the Heart family is.”

Laiet, who honors Gold as the successor, probably because he is an outsider.

“All right.”
​
As the two of them walk down the aisle, they keep looking sideways.
It’s a school uniform, but there’s not a single wrinkle.
She usually walks with her arms crossed, but now, perhaps because she is next to me, I politely put her hands together.
It’s not an attitude a duke’s daughter would behave…
Anyway… It’s pretty.
​
“By the way, instructor.”
“Ah yes.”
“You and your assistant were like that.”
“Uh… Well… It wasn’t like that from the beginning.”
“Yes. I do.”
​
You know?
​
“Because they have different eyes.”
“A look?”
“Even at first, the eyes were full of kindness, but now…”
​
…
…
Why don’t you talk
Laiet does the act that would upset people the most and covers it up with a laugh.
It’s even more annoying that I’m not angry because the pretty girl Layette is my opponent. No, are you mad?
​
“Congratulations.”
“What do you mean? Are you hurt?”
​
When I asked with a smirk as a joke, Layette shook her head.
​
“You’ve become a viscount.”
“…?”
​
Who?
I?
​
“Am I…?”
“Yes. Yesterday, an official announcement was made at the palace. Whether or not to be eliminated from the Hero’s Gaze is still under review.”
“Huh…”
“Brat, the gatekeeper of the Great Grove, objected to re-entry.”
“Ah. That bird… Bastard.”
​
I almost said it was a baby, but I endured it.
He was alive too.
​
“However, other people praised the lecturer so that their mouths drool, and the organizers, the teenage families, are also positively reviewing the pass, so I think you can participate.”
“…”
​
I won’t.
​
“For some reason, Mr. Winte wanted to meet the instructor.”
“…”
​
I can only guess what the business is.
​
“By the way, instructor.”
“Yes?”
“When will consultation be possible?”
“Hmm…”
​
When would be good
I don’t know what kind of counseling it is, but if it’s a moderate thing, it must be difficult because Laiet would have solved it himself, right? Will it be a long consultation?
If you listened to what Kitz said, he said that there would be a lot of work soon. The sooner the better.
​
“There are rumors that the instructor is going to the Holy Ghost Festival. So, would it be better after the Holy Ghost Festival?”
“Sacred Ghost…”

I heard about it from Kitz, but… I don’t know exactly what it is.
What is that.

“It’s the day when the god came down to the present world and blessed creation. It’s the anniversary of the Holy Kingdom.”
“…”
​
I have an ominous feeling.
Nanar’s anniversary. It wasn’t that Kitz was uneasy for nothing.
If the guy starts playing tricks, that’s sure to be the case.
After the Holy Ghost Festival, my reputation will suffer and it may be difficult for Laiet to consult with.
​
“…Yes. I see.”
​
So she answered like that.
I didn’t know what kind of counseling it was, but I was in a situation where I didn’t know how it would bounce, so I didn’t have the confidence to respond properly, so I thought it would be better to find another reliable person.
If you ask for counseling again because it’s too big a problem, let’s go and think about it then.
​
“Yes, thank you. Huhu.”

I laughed, but for a moment I almost stopped breathing.
The gap between a cold beauty and a warm smile is amazing.
It was then.
A group of people walked out from the corner, familiar faces.
​
“Gold.”
“Older brother.”
​
I ran into the person I was going to meet.
​
“Then instructor. See you soon.”
“Yes. Sooner or later.”
​
I don’t know when the Holy Spirit Festival is, but by then I’ll beg you to forget about counseling.
But soon the thoughts disappeared.
It was because the back of Laiet, who was moving away, looked dignified and beautiful.
It was her sister who woke me up.
​
“Brother. You’ve already heard, but let’s go to Heart Street with me. Until the situation calms down, we’d better stay at our mansion.”
“OK got it.”
​
Agitated.
There was a slight commotion among Gold and his vassals.
Come to think of it, there are faces I see for the first time.
Two other than Refeld and Kaisir.
Gold noticed my gaze and lightly grabbed them by the shoulders, pulling them forward.
​
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you. Our knight commanders. The 3rd Division Felice and the 5th Division Orkotz.”
​
Felice was about 170cm tall and had an ambiguous appearance whether he was a woman or a man, and Orkotz was well over 190 tall and had a dark impression with quite dark circles. However, he only had dark circles, but he was handsome enough.
The two bowed their heads to me.
​
“This is Felice.”
“I’m Orkotz. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t see you because I was out on a mission.”
“Hello. And I have no apologies.”
​
You mean the leader of Repelt or Kaisir-class knights.
​
“I was conducting a business investigation in the outskirts, but my father was a torch for this incident, so I called them in. I didn’t have to…”
“Not at all. Doryeong!”
“That’s right. The heir should know how heavy he is.”
​
Felix and Orkotz spoke sternly, and Gold shrugged.
I think you know very well how much gold is loved by the vassals.
So it is a cushion of thorns.
Because Gold lost his arm because of me.
​
“Thank you, Gold.”
“…”
​
Gold made a surprised eye.
I said it because I thought it would be better to say thank you than sorry. Didn’t I usually say thank you? I don’t think it was.”
​
“Drener…”
“Dre-sama…”
​
Kaisir and Lehfeldt are surprised.
​
“Uh… Didn’t I usually say thank you?”
“No, not that.”
“Saying flat words to the young master…”
“…Ah.”
​
Come to think of it, I was naturally speaking half-heartedly.
In fact, I was forced to say honorifics, but my real way of speaking was this way.
​
Gold was staring at me with his arms crossed.
Well, to the head of a family, it’s okay when it’s just the two of you, but when there’s a group of people around, it’s a bit arrogant if you talk casually.
Orkotsu’s expression doesn’t change, but Felix’s face is a bit dissatisfied.
​
“I’m sorry…Gold. It’s better to be respectful…?”
“Not at all! Rather, it took too long.”
​
Gold smiled across his face, grabbed me by the shoulder, and slammed me down.
​
“It was strange that my older brother treated my younger brother with respect.”
“Um…Then should I keep talking nonsense…?”
“Yeah. That’s good. Isn’t that the story of opening up to me?”
​
If you say that, your face will be hot again, so I want to respect you.
​
“On the contrary, I felt bad for saying honorifics until now. I felt like I was drawing a line somewhere.”
“Aha.”
​
If you say so
​
“I didn’t mean to. It’s just that it’s hard to change the way I speak because I was a farmer with my employer at first.”
Haha!”
​
Gold, who patted my shoulder with a big smile, pushed me and put me in front.
​
“Go to Heart Street. I’d like to hear the story of this event.”
“…”
​
He had his hand on one shoulder, but only his arm on the other shoulder.
His empty hands are felt and his heart aches.
​
“Regeneration is not working?”

Gold made a slightly troubled face, as if he didn’t want the topic to go that way.

“Hmm… I’ll have to look into it a bit more, but since Mullin’s failed… It’ll be tough.”
“Mullin?”
“She was kind enough to be unexpected for that person.
“…”
​
As Nanar himself said, if he’s lower than him, he won’t be able to regenerate.
Well, even with my limbs intact, I still feel the pain of being destroyed.
​
“I’ll find a way.”
“Hmm? Thank you for your words.”
​
In fact, I already had a picture in my head of what to do.
However, it is not known how long it will take until that level is reached.
​
The knight commanders followed us as we walked ahead.
I looked at them and asked.
​
“Mullin’s personality is filthy, but as a cleric, he’s awesome. Then who should I entrust him with?”
“She’s a saint. Her father is negotiating, she said.”
“Saint…”
​
But even the saintess I carry said that she would not be able to regenerate.
​
“Thank you for caring.”
“No. That’s…”
​
She didn’t say there might be a way.
And then, if she fails, the disappointment will be no joke.
​
“I’ll find a way.”
​
So she couldn’t say anything else.
She promised that she would do it for her brother who risked her life for me.
​
“By the way, brother.”
“Huh?”
“What is the consultation that Layette was talking about?”
​
The ears are also bright.
You heard that.
​
“Ah. That? He said he had something to discuss, so he asked me to do it later. I don’t know what the contents are yet.”
“Hmm… She?”
​
Gold with a hint of wonder.
​
“Why?”
“She’s not a close friend, but Layett has a strong feeling that she’ll solve it by herself, and she values ​​courtesy and procedures, so I don’t think she’ll ask for advice right away.”
“Really? You value politeness?”
​
When we first met her, she was really cold and had no manners… Well, I was filled with depression at the time.
How heartbroken she was for the real Holland.
She should have made her more desperate then.
​
“Yes. It’s natural, but when you enter a place, you always knock and ask if you can go in. They don’t treat you carelessly because you have a low status…”
​
Did you just open it up and come in?
​
“But I think I’ve heard of the Holy Ghost Festival.”
“Yeah. If you’re going to consult, they asked me to do it after the Holy Spirit Festival, so I don’t think I’ll do that because I’m not a great person who’s good enough to consult with anyone, and I’ll be busy after a while.”
“Hmm?”
“So, stay still and let time naturally resolve your concerns…”
“Older brother.”
“Huh?’

When I turned my head, for some reason, Repelt was making a pouty expression.
Gold hesitated.
​
“Sacred Spirit Festival… Just two days later.”
“…”
“Liet must have known that your brother lacked common sense or that he would soon be very busy…”
​
Why
Why do you feel like you’ve been tricked…?
[Because I was tricked.]
…The fuck.
What are you talking about?
Besides, why does Kollim come with him…?
[Kid.]
What the fuck
[It is time to recover the seeds that have been sown.]
What the fuck are you saying
[Keep-keep-chew…]
​
Why don’t you change your name to 2nd grade idiot?
The tone is fantastic.
​
“By the way, the head of household didn’t come? It looks like you’re discharged now too.”
​
When I asked Gold to change the mood, he gave a slightly troubled expression.
The man who loves his son so much is out of sight, so he must be doing something important.

“He’s in a meeting.”
“A meeting?”
“An important meeting between teenage families… Should I say?”
​
Laughter came out of nowhere.
It was because the sight of Leo’s trouble was clear to his eyes.
​
​

​
​
***
​
​

​
​
Bang!!
​
The sound of breaking something echoes through the space.
A total of eight colored shadows.
Among them, brown shadows. It was a voice from Hest.
Even the other family heads shut their mouths at the anger that emanated from him, who usually maintains a gentle appearance.
​
“Grise… Explain.”
“…”
​
Leo didn’t say anything.
He just stood upright and stared blankly ahead.
Most of the heads of households looked at him with hostility at his shameless attitude.
Hest bangs once again!! He lowered his cane to the floor.

“Grise to explain!! What the hell, what the hell did you think of such a thing?! Finally, someone suitable for Fryunar came out, what were you thinking…!”
“I think he has already left his heart.”
​
Dirgr’s complicated words fueled Hest’s wrath.
​
“Grise!!”
“… I won’t make excuses.”
​
Leo said just that.
Even Blizzar and Boyd, who were at least close to Grise, did not open their mouths.
The one who opened his mouth in the cold silence was the heart.
​
“He said he would drop the Prounar qualifications.”
​
At Gald’s words, the heads of households all looked at him.
​
“Right? Leor.”
“…”
“Ah. How did you know? He had eyes and ears here and there, like anyone else, so he somehow heard it.”

Obvious sarcasm.
Grise didn’t answer this time either, instead Hest vented his anger.

“…That’s not going to happen.”
​
Hest couldn’t hit the floor with his cane and broke it.
​
“We have to force it to proceed. Otherwise…”
“Compulsion?”
​
Gald snorted.
Hest glared at him fiercely, but he did not flinch.
Hest put on a puzzled expression at the appearance of a merchant who calculated his profit and loss with his usual attention, and he looked suitable for the head of a teenage family.
Hart looked around at the family heads and raised his voice.
​
“Even though the strongest Gryze attracted countless monsters, he was rather embarrassed. There were warriors, but strangers… No, Viscount Eighty Dee defeated them all.”

Seeing the quiet crowd, Hart shouted out his opinion.

“Who can force him like that? Yeah… It’s still possible if everyone is united, but can we come together now? In the first place, Hest, aren’t you going to leave it to us in the interior?”
“We’re blocking the foreign enemy…”
“You know it. You know it very well. You stop the foreign enemy, and we provide supplies to support him!”
​
He didn’t even stop talking, and his tone was quite sarcastic.
Hest’s tone naturally became ferocious.
​
“It’s time to join forces. It’s not a time like this.”
“Combined forces? Speaking of which, if Gryze hadn’t done the trick, he’d have ended up disillusioned with us. Why?”
​
Snorting, Gald pointed at Hest with his finger.
​
“Because the land monster pretending to be benevolent tried to bury Love Yarte completely! Do you think that Love Yarte and the man very close to him would have stayed still?”
“You…”

Gald laughed at Hest, who was trembling with anger, and continued to speak.

“Besides, that man really brought about the rise of Love Yarte… Besides, I’ve heard that it’s supposed to have resonated with not one but three artifacts.”
​
A commotion arose among the household heads.
The resonance of artifacts was very difficult even for the current owners, and dealing with artifacts from other families was doubly difficult.
That’s three men who aren’t even from the lineage of the ten heroes?
​
“When will there be another person as fit for the name Prunar as that man? I had to put aside the calculations and trivial feelings and support and cater to both sides of the material, but the idiot ruined it all.”
​
The arrow was returned to Gryze.
Leor looked at Gald’s yellow shadow with an expressionless expression.
​
“If you’re going to change his mind, that Ryze’s in charge. Oh Hartgar, he’ll help with anything he wants, but he won’t keep his mouth shut about Pryu Nar.”
“Heart.”
​
Whikatsu called quietly, but Gald didn’t even listen.
He was burning with anger that he couldn’t even handle himself.

My precious, precious son’s arm… That precious arm!!

He hated Leo, he hated the monster, and he hated Dre, who made his son sacrifice himself.
But he didn’t get anything good from beating Dre and Chuck.
Then, shouldn’t all this anger be released to the culprit?
​
There was a reason why Dre had floated until now.
Gald closed his expression and raised a solemn voice.
​
“And Grise. Step down from your position as leader.”
​
There was a commotion once again.
This was true even among the families that prevented the invasion of foreign enemies.
Although he showed anger at Grise, the support and workmanship they provided were unmatched.
​
“Heart.”
“That…”
“That makes sense.”
​
Unlike Hest, who seemed to be admonishing, and Winte, who were agitated, Blizzard quietly agreed.
​
“If Gryze, with his foolish plot, remains at the forefront, he will be far from being in charge of Pryunargun.”
“…”
​
Heart burns with anger, but Blizzard is desire.
Blizzard’s family head wanted her own family to rise to the fore…
​
Hest involuntarily lamented.
​
“…I shouldn’t have gotten rid of Brave.”
​
At least I didn’t have a fight like this back then.
At those words, Leo’s eyes widened.
​
“Didn’t everyone agree then?”
“I didn’t know you would do something stupid like this.”
​
Leor gritted his teeth at Hest’s solemn words. The poker face was shaking, and on top of that, Heart was sarcastic.
​
“It must have suffered quite a loss, but isn’t it a good thing? One of the proud six scales dies and one is seriously injured, unable to move for a year? It’s rather good for reorganizing the family.”
“…They were neither killed nor injured.”
“What nonsense.”
​
Leo looked at the heart coldly.
Gald, the head of the Heart family, who would normally bow down, also glared at him fiercely.
​
His own warning. It doesn’t matter what you ignored the advice that there’s nothing good about touching eight days.
It was something that Grise had to endure anyway.
But because of it… Why did her precious son have to suffer?
​
“Our true artifact, the yellow bracelet. My son used to wear it on his right hand every time I passed it, but now I can’t wear it.”
​
Growl. Gald poured out his true feelings.
​
“If you think about it, do we need to cooperate with our teenage families any more? The old ties from thousands of years ago.”
“Hey. Heart.”
​
Boyd frowned at the remark that crossed the line.
​
“Grise. It would be very interesting if your political power and our commercial power are in conflict.”
“Whoop whoop.”
​
Leo let out a laugh.
​
“Did you go back with a small fortune. Gald.”
“I’ve gone crazy. I think I want to change your daughter’s arm.”
“…Do you really want to die?”
​
Gald laughed at the uncontrollable atmosphere.
​
“The meeting will no longer be able to proceed. If you want to call me, call me only after Gryze has stepped down from the lead. And Leor.”
​
Galde put a full sneer on his face.
​
“Do you want to die?
“…”
​
Knowing that Ryze was flustered, he disconnected with deep satisfaction in his heart.
The remaining patriarchs were silent, and the silence lasted for a long time…
​
“It’s going to be really stormy…”
​
Hest’s Lament.
Here and there, there would be questions about this and about eight days.
Anything more going on here will really get out of hand.
Hest hoped that no more accidents would happen, and that was an impossible wish.
​
