The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

483 – No different

I couldn’t fully accept Estelle’s death. Because the total amount of pain had been exceeded, I was only aware of death and had no sense of reality. But it’s different now. The pain spreading from her heart to her entire body tells her that her death is real and irreversible.

So I have doubts later. Why doesn’t Estelle blame me for causing her death? It’s not simply a matter of determination. As someone who has been forgiven, is it natural to be curious about why the other person is forgiving me?

No, I wanted to understand Estelle’s feelings exactly.

In order not to forget her sincerity, like the sadness I lost all this time.

So I asked.

“… “Why don’t you blame me?”

After a short silence, Estelle showed her usual annoyed expression.

“Why do I blame you? “You didn’t kill me?”

“but… .”

“Ha, I guess you’re a poor pig… “Are you blaming yourself for something strange again?”

Estelle sighed and came in front of me, looking as if she was just asking for something like that. When I slightly bent her knees at the gesture telling me to lower her knees, Estelle grabbed my face with both palms.

match-!

The pain I felt in my heart was greater than the tingling pain I felt in my cheek, so I reacted more slowly than usual. When she opened her wet eyes wide and looked at Estelle speechless, she spoke firmly, with a mischievous smile as always, as if she wanted Estel to understand clearly.

“I’m glad I saved you and died in your place. I have no resentment, and I have no intention of blaming you. “Because you are the one who will save the world, and the one who will save my clan on my behalf.”

Estelle laughed, pinching and stretching my cheek without permission.

“Well, did you think I was going to say that since we share a common fate, you’ll die too!!!? Don’t forget that I’ve lived a year longer than you and am a year older than you. “You stupid little brother.”

I feel it again. Estelle is the smallest person I know, but she has always been like a supportive older sister. If it weren’t for the setting of Mesugaki, Estelle probably wouldn’t have had the image of being the most reliable senior or older sister. As she was thinking that, Estelle’s beautiful frown suddenly narrowed as she approached her face.

“You were thinking strange thoughts again. You sneaky b*stard. Anyway, if you see even the slightest gap… !”

Laughter came out without me knowing. It’s not because Estelle is funny, but because her clumsy way of comforting others seems very similar to mine.

“Even after death, your attitude doesn’t change.”

“Okay, now you’re finally calling me sister. She’s usually so fussy and doesn’t even call me sister! “Did you really feel my importance during this time?”

I just hugged Estelle. Estelle was taken aback by my sudden surprise attack and struggled to get out of my arms, but I spoke quietly as I felt Estelle’s warmth.

“I promise. “My sister’s death will never be in vain.”

Estelle, who was trying to scratch my neck with her fingernails, stopped struggling. And then, unlike before, he snuggled deeper into my arms.

“… “You don’t have to make that promise.”

Estelle, who was shaking something in her arms, suddenly grabbed my side.

“Sleep, wait… “It hurts, ahhh!!!”

Estelle, who had completely twisted her flesh, looked up at me with a triumphant expression and said.

“You idiot! Why are you promising something obvious? “Of course I should always think that it is thanks to me and be thankful!”

I barely escaped Estelle’s hand and grabbed my side. sick. It seems that the spicy hands haven’t changed. Before I could raise her face and retort to Estelle, Estelle approached me and turned my body towards the door.

“Leave before it’s too late.”

“Wait a minute, I still have something to say-”

“Puhup, I guess you’re a lonely pig. Do you want to talk to even dead people? “I have nothing more to say, so get the hell out of here!”

I was pushed towards the door by Estelle’s small hand pushing my back. Even with Estelle’s rejection, I still felt very disappointed. There was a lot I wanted to say to Estelle. But Estelle noticed me turning my head over my shoulder and hit my back with her palm.

“You stupid pig! Do you want to keep looking back? It’s a relationship that has already passed. What you need to do now is not to look backwards because you are obsessed with something that cannot be changed, but to keep your head high and somehow look forward and walk!”

“… Estelle.”

“Unless you want to be a real lying pig, go away. And don’t forget why you challenged the labyrinth.”

I clenched my fists at Estelle’s stern voice. Estelle is right. I don’t have time to share the joy of reunion. Because I have to obtain the Holy Grail before Roel or the religious leader. Those who reached the 9th floor later than me can get to the 10th floor faster.

I grabbed the door handle. And he said without turning his body.

“Thank you, Estelle. “My sister has always been a precious person to me.”

There was no answer until I opened the door. But when I crossed the door, I heard Estelle’s wet voice from behind.

“Then pay back a hundredfold later!!! “Unless you want to be an ungrateful pig!”

Somehow, I felt like I could see Estelle’s face behind me, crying and trying to smile.

***

After Ross and Ellie left, Ross, who was left alone, was quietly relaxing on a chair in front of his mother’s bust. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to return to the world he came from, but he still had work left to do.

“… “You’re here.”

Ross got up from his chair, stretched and shouted loudly.

“Why don’t you just come out and watch from afar?”

As Ross spoke, someone suddenly appeared in a place where no one was. He was a cult leader wearing armor made of chaos and a huge chakram on his back.

「… “You’re not the Ross I’m after.”

“Is this how Ace feels after being insulted by Whitebeard to his face…? ? Of course mine is more handsome! “Let’s find out at a glance!”

“Stop talking nonsense-”

“Ah, because my head hurts. “Let’s turn it off and talk.”

When Ross snapped his fingers, the leader’s voice, which seemed to be echoing in his head, returned to normal. The cult leader slightly twisted his head to glare at Ross and raised one corner of his mouth as if he understood.

“… Is he a wizard? “It has also reached that point.”

“That’s right, he’s stronger than any Ross you’ve ever seen.”

The leader said after looking Ross up and down.

“You are Ross from another world I have never met.”

“Hey, do you remember all that? “You live a pretty complicated life too, right?”

“No, I have no hobby of remembering trash. “I only said this because I didn’t sense any confusion in you.”

Ross, who folded his arms at those words, looked at the religious leader and raised the corners of his mouth.

“That’s correct. I am a world that was destroyed by the devil according to the rules. “I survived by hiding in the labyrinth to avoid destruction.”

“If you came to this world to beg, it’s too late. “Because this world will suffer the same fate as your world.”

Hearing the leader’s stern voice, Ross uncrossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders.

“Alpano.”

“… .”

“I don’t like complicated things. You know, we’re MBTI people who can’t stand boring and boring things. Oh! Could it be that my MBTI in another world is different?! “I never thought about that.”

As Ross continued speaking in a self-questioning manner, the leader seemed to think it was not worth listening to anymore and took a step forward.

“If I had been confident in my skills, I would have been quiet. Get out of the way or I’ll kill you.”

Ross heartily lamented the cult leader’s warning.

“Hey, I thought it wouldn’t be possible after seeing the memories I received from that guy… It’s true. “The idiot Ross who chose to become the leader of a cult in another world was Ross, a second-year middle school soldier!”

“… “What?”

“Transcendent Ross? Puheap, transcendence is a piece of shit. Hehehe, I think Ross in the well would be a better fit?”

“… Even Ross, who had reached the level of a wise man, bowed his knees to me. The fact that you, who have never experienced the power of chaos, can talk like this without even knowing the topic is confidence born of ignorance. “In the face of true chaos, any magic simply fades away.”

But Ross wasn’t listening to the cult leader at all. Ross, who was observing the pontiff while stroking his chin, snapped his fingers and shouted.

“I get it! You were a Bleach fanatic! Oh my god, in another world, I was a Bleach fan?! I liked the dress more! ‘Hey, be my colleague!’ is what I said to Ellie when I first met her.”

“… Done. “It was my mistake to try to talk to the bug.”

When the cult leader stretched out his hand towards Ross, the energy of chaos condensed in his palm, creating a huge spear, and rushing towards Ross with terrifying force.

Shuuuk―――!

However, the Spear of Chaos launched by the leader flew towards Ross, but soon lost tremendous momentum and stopped in the air. Ross, who blocked the attack without making any noise or gesture, took his hand off his chin and said,

“Hey, ignorance, that’s what I’m going to say. Because I am the only person in all the world who can be called the transcendent Ross.”

“gibberish.”

“No, really. That’s why I waited for you here. Even if I tolerate everything else, I don’t want characters overlapping twice. “When I think about it again, I think it would have been better to be called the Magic King.”

When Ross gestured, the Spear of Chaos held in the air crumbled into powder and disappeared. When the cult leader saw this, his shoulder twitched without realizing it, and Ross smiled broadly.

“You know? “In times like this, you have to say really cool lines.”

Ross, who activated all the circuit diagrams, raised one index finger and said.

“You’ve dealt with many me from other worlds, but you’ve never experienced the power of the sun yet, have you?”

Instinctively sensing danger, the leader moved the chakram on his back forward and drew out all the power of chaos. The force collapsed all the surrounding space, revealing only a world of black, but Ross continued his magic with a nonchalant expression.

[Flame Emperor――― Fire Dragon’s Breath]

The cult leader saw.

The black world he had created was completely consumed by the small sphere of flame that had formed on Ross’s index finger.
