The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 208



209 – Request

“So, what is a favor?”

As expected, Estelle, as expected, quickly lost her temper. The uniform was a little cut and there was a scratch on my arm, but let’s overlook that. I explained to Estelle about the Spear of Shadow sealed in the Valley of Death.

“It is the window of shadow… Hmm, just by hearing the explanation, I think I can understand why the greedy pig wants it.”

“you’re right. “Gulp.”

When I inadvertently and playfully retorted, Estelle narrowed her eyes and looked at me.

“You seem to have changed something.”

“Is it the good one?”

In response to my question, Estelle crossed her arms and groaned in displeasure.

“The gloomy look has brightened up a bit, so that’s a good thing… Somehow it became more unpleasant.”

Should comments about Meskaki being unpleasant be seen as a compliment? Come to think of it, Luna also said that I seemed to be in a better mood than usual last night. She thought it was simply because she was in good condition, but if people around her could feel it, it seemed like something had changed.

“Okay, all we have to do is move the investigation team from Destin Village. There won’t be any big problems. “If I find a clue, I will contact you separately.”

“thank you.”

I nodded with a happy smile at Estelle’s cool permission. As expected, she looks hot as expected. However, if I said to Estelle that she was her older sister or that she was older than her, I felt like she would pull out her sword again, so I kept my mouth shut.

Estelle clapped her hands as if she had suddenly remembered her and looked for something in the desk drawer. What was handed over was a document filled with requests for disclosure of information. The requester’s name also included Bella’s pseudonym, Goat. It was natural for the imperial family, which exclusively owned portals and collected taxes, to be greedy for new types of portals.

“There are a lot of people asking about lilies these days. When on earth are they going to release the improved portal that was mentioned at the meeting? “Some people have doubts as to whether it might be a scam.”

I stroked my chin and thought for a moment.

An improved portal is something that can be made right away. However, there was no need to rush it, and in fact, it was more of a bait product for the character Lily. Since I wasn’t in a hurry right now, I need enough time to thoroughly plan in a more profitable way.

After a pause, I asked.

“When is the next meeting?”

“In a month at the earliest. I guess everyone is looking forward to the meeting being held as soon as Lily appears. If you’re a businessman selling information, you can’t possibly miss the moment with the highest sales value, right? Well, that doesn’t guarantee that you will participate in the meeting, so it’s okay if you don’t. “Just once.”

I thought for a moment and slowly shook my head. I was planning to buy some time, but I didn’t plan on missing the meeting.

“We need to add fuel to the fire before the rumors die down. Let them know that you will be attending next month’s meeting as a lily. We will also prepare an improved portal to be unveiled at the meeting.”

We are releasing an improved portal, but we have no intention of showing it all. This is a place to prove that what I say is true. All you have to do is wait for the most attractive buyer to appear.

At my words, Estelle nodded eagerly with a happy expression. After all, it is more beneficial for Modest if Lily participates. From the guild leader’s perspective, he could not help but be happy. Well, since I am in a position to unilaterally receive money, I have to help where I can in order to have at least a little bit of conscience.

Estelle was excited and continued the story about lilies. Since it was clearly the center of rumors, there were many people who wanted to purchase information about lilies. Through a long conversation with Estelle, we controlled how much information about Lily would be revealed.

“This pig… ! “I like it for the first time in a long time!”

When Estelle nodded with satisfaction, I, who was waiting for an opportunity, gently asked.

“Then can I ask you something else?”

“Ah, I felt bad right away… . “You’re like a senseless pig.”

Estelle looked at me with a straight face as if asking what I was asking for. I cleared my throat for no reason and spoke in a serious voice.

“Please find a way to increase the power of [Destruction] I mentioned before.”

Even if I got the Spear of Shadow, I had no intention of throwing away the Spear of Destruction. Although it does not use twin spears, the Spear of Destruction is a spear with special power to destroy magic and barriers. It has advantages that cannot be given up. I planned to use the weapon by changing it depending on its usage.

I searched for information about destruction in the librarian’s books, even in the forbidden books section of the library, but to no avail. In that case, we have no choice but to believe in the power of the world’s greatest information guild.

Estelle must have sensed my thoughts and gave me a funny look.

“If you keep being greedy like that, will you get in trouble? “I definitely warned you that that spear was cursed.”

I remember. That it is a cursed spear that leads its owner to destruction. But now I need a tool to make up for my lack of skills.

“Even if you get in trouble, you have to take care of what you need.”

Estelle sighed and nodded.

“okay. I’ll look into that too. “If you’re a pig with a conscience, there’s nothing more you can ask for, right?”

I nodded obediently as Estelle crossed her arms and glared at me as if asking me to say something again.

“Thank you for your help.”

Seeing Estelle waving her hands as if she didn’t want to answer, I stood up from my chair, placing my hand on the desk. The moment I was about to say hello to Estelle, someone knocked on the door. The person who opened the door and came in was a person wearing an unfamiliar animal mask who showed the way. Looking closely, I saw that it was a cute dog mask that was no different from a cat’s natural enemy.

“What, I told you not to come when you have guests unless it’s urgent!”

As Estelle spoke in an annoyed voice, the person wearing the dog mask silently put the paper on the desk and left. It looks like he’s already adapted to Estelle’s shit.

“What is this… .”

Estelle grumbled as she checked the paper and spoke in silence. Estelle, who read the paper in silence, raised her head and looked at me.

“It’s a religious order.”

My eyes widened at Estelle’s words. After reading the paper Estelle handed me, I sighed and wiped my face. The church requested information from Estelle about Roel and the people around him.

The rumor that the youngest transcendental person had appeared spread throughout the continent. It is natural that denominations are interested. Even more so if it’s an opponent you’ve collided with several times.

“I have already sent reports about Roel several times. But this time is different. It wasn’t just a simple report, it was a detailed request for the surrounding relationships… .”

“It means there could be a spark flying out of me.”

When I took my eyes off the paper and looked at Estelle, Estelle nodded and said.

“The church likes ways to minimize damage. Rather than attacking the Transcendant directly, they prefer to attack the surrounding area. It is easy to deal with someone who has lost their senses due to losing family and friends, and they do not avoid fighting with the religious order. “It’s easy to fall into a trap.”

I bit my lip and spoke with urgency.

“If I fight with a member of Confsion… “Is there any chance of winning?”

“hmm… I guess it’s almost nonexistent. Most of the enemies that Confsion faces are transcendental. “I can barely compete with a first-year academy student.”

Estelle seemed to sense my anxiety and spoke in a comforting way.

“It’s okay, coward. Confsion is currently busy with orders from the religious leader, and there is a vacancy, so he can’t move. And will Confsion move just to catch you? Unless you want to catch Roel, Confsion won’t come. “Stop being scared~”

I sighed and nodded. First of all, what is important is how far the denomination’s demands are met. I had another long discussion with Estelle and wrote Roel’s report to report to the church. Since I am Roel’s younger brother, I had no choice but to include information about myself in the report.

As befits the setting of the world’s best information guild, it seems they have figured out even the smallest details. It even says that I have two moles on my right forearm. Lastly, as I was checking the report to be sent to the church, I enjoyed reading about myself and had a question.

“You say I hate strawberries?”

“Last time, you didn’t eat dessert with strawberries in it and you refused strawberry smoothie because you didn’t like it, right? I hate it because it makes me feel sick. Has dementia already arrived? Or do you have a small brain and can’t remember?”

I wondered if that had ever happened, but even when I scratched my head, I couldn’t think of anything. I don’t think she ever hated strawberries, but it wasn’t important so she decided to move on.

“I think this is enough.”

“Yes, the church will be satisfied. I wanted to keep everything about you hidden as much as possible, but you might think it’s strange that there is so little information about Roel’s younger brother. “I can’t help it.”

I nodded in understanding. After Estelle handed over the report to the person wearing the dog mask, she asked with a yawn in her voice.

“Haam, even if Roel becomes a transcendental person, there will be no problems in the future, right?”

To Estelle’s question, I nodded without hesitation.

“No problem. “Because it’s Roel.”

Roel is the munchkin protagonist who always thinks of others and tries to be a hero for everyone.

If it’s the Roel I know, I can trust it.

Because he is a person who will never give up no matter what hardships come his way.
