Chapter 7 – Doubt

Ah.

Ah.

I wish someone would kill me

I don’t like the world anymore, so I want to go somewhere and die without anyone knowing. After all, if I die, it will be a good thing whether the world perishes or not.

“..! ..!”

I want to say something, but I can’t get the words out, this sadness…

Since my magic returned, I thought I might be able to speak even by mistake, so I sealed my mouth with magic, so now I can’t speak even by mistake. It was a magic that I put on when no one was really around or when I was prepared to dispel it.

No this is not important

I want to die so much..

“Wow.. I think we had a time like that too.. Right Hughes?”

“I don’t think there was…”

“Uh huh.”

Especially because of those two years, I think I’m going to lose my mind even more now.

When the hell did they become friends?

No, it doesn’t matter what you say.

It’s not a bad thing to be friendly with someone unless you’re a bad person.

Rather, in the current situation, I think it is a good thing for each other to get close to the internal members because it strengthens the relationship. It’s just that the fact that I’m reacting like this isn’t different, but the problem is that everyone can see what happened at that time.

Just in case, I looked towards Hero, and the hero seemed to want to forget what had just happened.

No, it’s me who wants to forget, but I don’t understand why he acts as if he’s more embarrassed. Fortunately, though, he just looked at them as if he were looking at a young couple, and didn’t mention anything more than that.

“I can see the village!”

Everyone was delighted with the coachman’s words.

Thank god.

I was overjoyed to be able to break up with these people.

That was all for now.

It is still a small village on the outskirts, but it is said to be much larger than the village we had arrived before.

At first, I was worried about how long I would have to go to when I was told that I had to go to the Holy Land, but fortunately, as a warrior, I heard that I could ride a teleport magic circle to the Holy Land. It is said that you can go directly to the Cathedral of the Holy Kingdom once you arrive in the big city.

“Recently, I’ve heard rumors that there are slave traders who disguise themselves as wagons and kidnap people…”

The guard looked down at the men who were sleeping tied up in the wagon, sweating.

“Thank you so much for holding me like this!”

At the guard’s thanks, the warrior scratched his head as if embarrassed.

When I first got on the wagon, I thought what was going to happen, but it seems to have worked out well. Thankfully. After confirming who it was, the guard asked if he would be able to stay in the village for a while as he will give you a reward, and the warrior nodded.

Either way, the more money, the better.

I hesitantly turned to Hero.

Hmm..

He’s like a parasitic brother, but if you look at his appearance that fits the concept of a strong yet kind goza, it’s no different from the game’s setting, but something was strange.

It seemed strangely familiar to me.

I don’t know exactly when I met this hero, so it may have been a long time since we met unexpectedly.

Therefore, it was forbidden to jump to conclusions.

However, things in the wagon this time were obviously strange.

I know that in the game, I get drunk with the scent of sleep and pass out.

However, thanks to Hero’s unique powers, he wakes up less drunk from sleep, and fights on the spot. Of course, since this works as a kind of tutorial, the early enemies come out strong. I want to die like that, but fortunately Rumia wakes up and wakes up people with magic, so the situation calms down somehow.

I don’t remember exactly because it’s an in-game setting, but I know it’s roughly like that.

However, this time it went very differently from the original setting.

There was something strange about being so different.

Of course, I don’t know exactly how Lumia acted in the game, but I have a good understanding of her personality because she was one of my favorite characters. Oh no, of course she did something uncharacteristic of Lumia, but she did it in her sleep, so I don’t know.

Seeing that even the hero was trying to avoid mentioning what happened at that time, it seems that I did something quite crazy. I don’t remember exactly, but it was said that she went deeper into her sleep with the pillow on her lap.

…

Can you tell me that you don’t know?

To be honest, I feel pretty fucked up.

Anyway, this wasn’t what I was trying to say, so let’s put this story aside for now… What I want to say is that the hero’s actions are very suspicious. The way he said he should have been more careful and the way he tried to take me hostage is so suspicious.

The best guess is that he said something to them when he went to get the carriage earlier. They knew that there was sleeping incense inside the carriage, or that it was a slave carriage, so if they didn’t want to die, they threatened to drive us at a cheap price.

“Rumia?”

It’s hard to think that the hero’s personality would have done such a thing, so I can guess that it’s probably the former, or at least similar to the former.

I mean, how did you know that?

“Rumia!”

“..!”

Wow, what a surprise.

This time, the words almost came out, but thanks to the magic I had put on my mouth beforehand, the words didn’t come out.

I turned around to see what was going on, and the warrior smiled awkwardly and pointed out if he wanted to eat it.

It wasn’t because I really wanted to eat something, but I thought that I was looking at one side because I was thinking deeply, but I thought I was looking at it because I wanted to eat it. I’m a little worried that they might see me eating something as revealing, but I’m hungry so I’ll eat it.

I nodded.

“I’ll buy it.”

No, what are you trying to do?

I shook my head and stood up from my seat.

“Are you going?”

Of course.

I nodded.

“I won’t be able to speak well, but are you okay?”

“…”

Ah..

That’s right.

It’s not that I can’t speak either.

It was true that he couldn’t really speak before, but now that he was able to use magic to some extent, even if he couldn’t speak directly, he was able to communicate with the hero with a telepathic feeling. If it’s the first time we met, if you don’t know why I can’t speak.

If it had been a while since we had just met, I was thinking of saying that I could actually talk, but this hero is suspicious no matter how you look at it.

It would be better not to reveal my identity just in case.

After thinking about it for a while, I found a compromise.

I stood up and grabbed the hero’s sleeve.

It was like holding a man’s hand casually.

However, if I grabbed my shoulder or arm, that would be weird, so I carefully grabbed the sleeve part that wasn’t that strange no matter who saw it and didn’t come into direct contact with the hero, and pulled it.

“Uh… Let’s go together?”

She nodded.

“If so…”

The hero put on a worried expression, but soon approached the store, saying that it would be okay if we were going together. It’s a village on the periphery, so there aren’t that many shops, but bread that looks pretty delicious is showing up outside.

“Would you like one of these?”

“Yeah~ Wait a minute~”

The uncle smiled broadly, saying that he hadn’t been to this village in a while, and offered to give him freshly baked bread. After a while, freshly made hot bread was handed to me. I was worried that he might just give it to me, but fortunately I passed it as if to block the heat.

It looks like paper, but it doesn’t seem to be paper… I don’t know what this is, but what is it like?

I took a bite.

Oh what

Hmm..

What’s so yummy

To be honest, I didn’t expect much because it was a fantasy world, but looking at the existence of the teleport magic circle and this delicious bread, it seems to be a world that has developed to some extent. Still, I thought it was fortunate that it wasn’t the middle ages, and I looked back at the warrior.

What the heck why didn’t you buy it?

Still, I thought it would be nice to taste it, so I cautiously pushed it out towards the warrior.

“Uh.. This?”

I’m giving you something to eat too.

When I waved my arm as if to receive it quickly, the warrior who finally realized my meaning hesitated and carefully bit me.

Is it delicious?

“Thank you.”

The warrior laughed and said.

Yes, it was delicious

Thinking so, I brought it back to me, and the part the hero had eaten caught my eye.

No matter how much it was, I didn’t want to eat it with this part, so I carefully turned it over to the part that hadn’t been eaten yet, and took another bite.

Hmm.

Oh right, I forgot something.

I looked around and found a bench and touched the hero.

“Huh?”

I pointed towards the bench.

“Oh, do you want to rest?”

No,

– I have a story I want to tell you.

The hero froze on the spot at my sudden telepathy.
