The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

212 – Flap of wings

“Don’t stress too much. “Because you weren’t the only one who spread the word about the truth about triathlon to the Academy.”

After saying that, Bella continued talking as if it was no big deal.

“Thanks to his title as the youngest Transcendant, Roel has become the most famous person on the continent. The powerful, the powerful, and even the dark side are all watching Roel’s movements. “Rumors about you may have a negative influence on Roel, so I took this opportunity to check and see if anyone was trying to interfere with me.”

As Bella finished speaking, Roel, who was staring at me, raised the corner of his mouth and said.

“You’re saying that for no reason. Bella is shy and can’t be honest. She actually worked hard because she wanted to be loved by me. “I want to treat you well without any calculations.”

I could see Bella flinching her shoulders at Roel’s words, but I nodded and pretended not to see.

Roel, who had a satisfied expression on his face, clapped his hands and said as if he had finally remembered something.

“Oh, and my parents sent me to a southern resort. You will spend the rest of your life comfortably there. “You won’t have to come to the academy anymore.”

I tilted my head at Roel’s sudden words. As a good protagonist, Roel is naturally a son who is extremely dutiful to his parents. He built a large house in the countryside where he originally lived, and if he had good medicine, he would often send it as a gift. But out of the blue, it was a southern resort, and that’s where I would spend the rest of my life… ?

Of course, that is also a form of filial piety. It’s like a dream for some for a commoner to spend the rest of his life comfortably at a resort without working. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that somehow it wasn’t the Roel way I knew. It feels like something uncomfortable is pressing on my chest.

The person who answered my question was Bella, whose cheeks were slightly red. Bella, who was fanning her hand as if it was hot, cleared her throat for a moment and cleared her voice, then explained in a soft voice.

“It’s the same reason as before. Unlike you, Roel’s parents will definitely be a big weakness. The way you behaved in the triathlon almost caused a big rumor. If you think about personality and behavior… I thought it would be a good idea to spend the rest of your life quietly at a resort. Roel agreed that it was a good idea for her parents’ safety as well.”

As Bella finished speaking, Roel suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand. It is a firm and warm hand. When I looked at him, surprised by the sudden action, Roel smiled a dark smile that suited me.

“All this time, I’ve been intentionally trying to get you and your parents involved. Still, they are parents and children. I thought that if we met face to face, something would change at least a little. I was too complacent… It was harder for no reason because of my remoteness, right? sorry. I’m really sorry.”

Roel held my hand and looked at me with eyes that looked like they were about to shed tears. In response to Roel’s sincere apology, I turned my head in silence and looked at the picture on the wall. A goat wearing a cape approaches the table where other goats are sitting and tries hard to sit next to him, but he slips and falls and is unable to climb the chair. That sight felt sad.

I took out the hand that was being held by Roel.

“are you okay.”

I don’t mean to show off just because it’s in front of Roel. I wasn’t hurt or disappointed simply because I had no expectations from Ross’ parents from the beginning. Because if there are no expectations, there is no disappointment.

After finishing speaking, I stood up.

I found out why I had spread the rumor, and I also knew that I would never see my parents again. I am thankful that things worked out well thanks to Roel and Bella, even without my efforts.

There will no longer be any harm to members due to rumors about me. For the first time, I was able to leave Bella’s lab smiling.

Estelle received a call from Amber and quickly headed to Destin Village after school. He did not discover the cave, but the news was that Lloyd, who did not give up and continued to investigate, eventually discovered something.

When Estelle, wearing a black cat mask as always, opened the door to the inn and came in, Amber, who was drinking beer with Lloyd, raised her hand in greeting.

“Guild leader!”

Estelle approached the table with small steps and sat down next to Amber. Lloyd got up from her seat and tried to greet her, but Estelle’s words were faster than her actions.

“Okay, skip the greetings. “What do you mean you found it?”

“Let’s look at the map.”

Putting the beer glass aside, Lloyd took out the map from his pocket and unfolded it. Lloyd pointed to a circle drawn in red on the map showing the surroundings of Destin Village.

“I found it by chance while I was continuing to investigate the land just in case. This red-painted part looks no different, but when confirmed through alchemy, it has different properties from the surrounding soil. That means that soil was brought in from somewhere else and filled in here. “Someone did it on purpose!”

After the excited Lloyd finished his explanation, Amber continued.

“I investigated the village just in case, but no construction was done there. “Then I wondered if the soil had changed a long time ago, but Mr. Lloyd said it wasn’t that long ago that the soil had changed.”

When Estelle turned her head without saying a word, Lloyd, who caught her gaze, nodded and explained.

“you’re right. We looked for boundaries between soils with different properties and examined plant roots. If you check how much it has grown past the boundary, you will be able to roughly check the time when the soil changed. “If you look at the roots growing, it’s been about half a year since the soil changed.”

“Half a year… .”

Estelle, who was looking at the map, tapped the area marked in red with her hand.

“Are you sure it’s drawn on the map?”

“I’m sure. The distance measured by planting a flag was transferred to the map using magic. “I can assure you that there is no error whatsoever.”

Estelle smiled as if she was amused by Lloyd’s words. Amber seemed to have noticed something about her, so after sending Lloyd away, she secretly asked.

“Did you find something?”

Estelle smiled slightly at Amber’s question.

“Look where it’s marked on the map.”

At those words, Amber looked at the map, but nothing in particular caught her eye.

“… “Is there an answer on the map?”

Seeing Amber’s puzzled expression, Estelle stroked the red-painted area with the tip of her finger.

“It’s a perfect circle.”

Ember frowned as she checked the map again at Estelle’s explanation.

“that’s right. If it had been handled by humans, it couldn’t have been this perfectly circular. then… ?”

Estelle gave the correct answer to Amber, who was speechless.

“Someone replaced this entire red-painted space with another place.”

Amber widened her eyes and slightly opened her mouth.

“Well, is that possible…?” ? I heard that it is impossible to teleport not just a person, but an entire building, but with such a large terrain… .”

Estelle sighed as she saw Amber’s complexion suddenly turn pale.

“It is possible if it is a magic that transfers the entire space using dimensions. Unless it was done by Ross, the only space wizard we know of… “It means that the person who did this is the true apostle the religious leader is looking for.”

Estelle ordered Amber, who swallowed her saliva.

“Remove all investigation records so the church does not know. The investigation team was sent to Death Canyon as planned. ”

“Okay, I understand.”

When Ember got up from her seat, Estelle stared at the map and eventually put it into her arms.

“The leader was angry at your failure.”

The air around me sank at the words of the pontoon master. It felt like the density of the air had increased infinitely, and even simple breathing felt difficult. Parvati, saint of her order and Ninth Temptation of Confsion, bowed her head and let her hair down as a sign of her remorse.

Actually, I was just looking at the pattern on the table, hoping that the meeting would end quickly… No one will know because your face is covered by your hair.

“… “The great forest is given up.”

The vice principal spoke in an angry voice, gritting his teeth. How much were you despised? Parvati, who had never seen the leader in person, wondered if the leader had only verbally scolded her.

The vice principal gritted his teeth and looked at the executives of Confsion with a heavy gaze and sighed.

“Until the order from the leader is given, each Confsion performs his/her original duties. And by order of the leader, I will fill the vacant positions 3 and 8 here.”

When the pontoon master snapped his fingers, the sound of someone approaching was heard. Parvati could not contain her curiosity and glanced up, making eye contact with a handsome man with dark dark eyes who was approaching with the sound of footsteps.

The vice principal explained in a low voice.

“The hallucinatory Mesmer who has become a new member of Confsion. He is number three.”

She wondered if she should applaud, but the atmosphere was heavy, so Parvati secretly gave Mesmer a cautious smile. Mesmer turned his head with an arrogant expression.

‘Um, that b*stard… !’

As Parvati was swearing under her breath, someone sat down next to her in the empty seat left by the death of Ner of Despair. Parvati turned her head and fixed her gaze on the newcomer.

He was a man who gave off a strange sense of discomfort when he smiled to himself. Even without makeup, it was natural that the person himself was close to a clown.

“… And a new number 8. “Mad Jamie.”

Jamie smiled at the words of the pontiff and raised his hand.

“Nice to meet you. Garbage worse than filth! Huuu… !!!!”

A moment of silence came. Parvati looked at Jamie with the same crazy gaze she felt just by being next to her.

‘You’re crazy, you idiot…’ ?’

When Parvati was thinking about that while looking at Jamie, who was making a strong first impression, Jamie, who burst out laughing despite the deathly gaze, quickly turned his head and looked at Parvati who was looking at her.

“Haha, is this person with a voluptuous butt in front of me the only successor? Nice to meet you. Then, please give me a cup of coffee. Do not stir the sugar cubes, but shake them and add only 10 pieces. Saliva and breast milk provided as a service are always welcome. If you want to get good marks from your seniors, don’t forget to do this. Haha!”

The thought disappeared from Parvati’s head.
