The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 234



235 – Shinsal

The moment I arrived at the club room, I was overcome by an unknown sense of discomfort. This is the club room we watched together every day. It was the background of a club room that I had already become accustomed to. Even if I close my eyes, I can easily walk towards the sofa without struggling.

I had a feeling that something had changed, but I couldn’t really feel what had changed. It might not be that big of a change. Maybe it’s the feeling I’m feeling because of my new wardrobe.

While I was sitting at my desk thinking about that and organizing what I had to do during vacation, Estelle suddenly came to the club room.

It was perhaps natural for the club members to give an interesting look to the timid and lovely senior who seemed to have no connection with me at all. Luna just looked at me and Estelle with strange eyes.

Estelle, who was so nervous that she was hyperventilating, whispered softly so that only I could hear.

“Mo, come to Modistro.”

I guess it would be too much to explain any further here. After leaving those words, Estelle left the club room as if running away. It was obviously important enough for Estelle to come visit her in person. It was obvious that he would swear all sorts of things if I made him wait.

When I told Luna that I was going out for a while, Aria, who was eating snacks next to me, dropped the snacks she was holding as if acting and started shaking.

“No way, no way, confessing…” “Senior and wind – evil!”

– Perfect!

I hit Aria’s forehead for talking nonsense and left the club room, telling Luna that I would be right back.

“Finally, Bella asked Modest to meet Lily face to face.”

It was the first time in a while that Estelle spoke from the point of view as soon as she sat down. Have you broken the bad habit of picking on something and complaining about it? Estelle seems to be making progress too.

“The purpose of face-to-face is the improved portal that was decided to be revealed at the meeting, right?”

While saying that, I drank the warm herbal tea that Amber gave me.

“of course. For the Crown Princess, the mere existence of an improved portal would be a huge headache. “If the prototype is revealed at the meeting, competition may become excessive due to greedy nobles, so they are probably trying to negotiate with Lily before that.”

Currently, portal magic is strictly managed as a monopoly by the imperial family. No noble could keep up with the net profit earned from the portal station every day.

But is there a portal that is more efficient and cost-effective? From the imperial family’s perspective, it’s like putting fire to your feet.

Estelle seemed to be very satisfied with the current situation, and her attitude was more relaxed than usual. It seems that Modest has gained a lot of benefit externally by acting as a bridge between Lily and Lily. If the improved portal is sold, the money you will earn will be enormous.

I suddenly became curious and asked.

“Wouldn’t the church be targeting the money from selling the improved portal?”

Estelle raised one corner of her mouth.

“Modists are an independent group. The information obtained here is also obtained by the church from the perspective of a ‘guest.’”

I stroked my chin as Estelle spoke.

“… Why did the cult leader allow the Modists to operate? “It is not a subgroup, and autonomy is guaranteed so that it can move independently.”

From the denomination’s perspective, the Modests are not helpful. It wasn’t about making money or bringing in new believers. I wondered if the cult leader might be making a secret plan.

As if reading my thoughts, Estelle made a tsk sound.

“Because that was the condition for accepting the restrictions.”

“Making a Modest?”

“Yes, my grandfather, who negotiated with the cult leader, thought that the clan’s mission should be maintained even if it was subject to restrictions. My grandfather was evaluated as the only person at the time who could achieve Godslaughter. That’s why the religious leader accepted his offer without risking mutual destruction.”

I frowned for a moment at Estelle’s words. The unfamiliar word ‘shinsal’ that suddenly popped out struck my nerves like a thorn in my throat.

“What is Shinsal?”

Estelle answered my question in a serious voice.

“It is a mission left to our clan. Godslaughter is the highest level of an assassin who can kill even a god, which is said to have been reached by the clan’s founder, the Farel family. I created Modest to find information to reach Shinsal. “At the same time, I am also looking for the clans that were scattered because of the church.”

Another story was added to the Modest setting I created. Did probability work?

More than anything, it bothered me that a person could reach a point where they could kill God. Is this really possible? Even Roel, the munchkin, has never fought with God. In the first place, the ‘God’ mentioned in this novel is just an ambiguous being that exists everywhere and is nowhere. How can you kill such a god? It would be like cutting the air.

Estelle sighed at my questioning expression.

“You idiot! That roughly means you have that level of skill, but does that mean you actually killed a god? Why are you taking it so seriously?”

At Estelle’s point, I scratched my head and nodded obediently.

“Still, I’m glad that Modest is safe.”

At my words, Estelle crossed her arms and snorted.

“I just don’t give you anything to worry about. So, please relax.”

I nodded at the reassuring words and finished drinking the herbal tea.

“anyway! I hope I meet Bella this time. Of course, the purpose of the face-to-face meeting is not transaction, but simply raising the ransom. The royal family is very excited and will definitely offer a huge amount of money. We make a lot of money by secretly leaking it to the meeting participants and gently stimulating their competitive spirit… Hehehe.”

It’s a good idea. I didn’t want the improved portal I made to be sold at a high price. Unless the Golden King himself steps forward, the buyer will ultimately be Bella. As a service, you will be able to obtain a few necessary items from the imperial warehouse. Because I am the super ‘Gap’.

“great. then… “I will personally go to Bella’s personal laboratory in the afternoon after the school vacation ceremony.”

“Hmm, are you okay? “If it’s Bella’s personality, she might threaten you with force.”

“I’m not stupid enough to do something like that.”

“That’s right. “But just in case, am I hiding nearby?”

I shook my head at Estelle’s suggestion. Bella is not stupid. Since the transaction of improved portals was not related to Roel, he would certainly act rationally.

Estelle shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, you’re not completely trash anymore either. I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out. Then I’ll tell you to contact Amber. “When should we make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon?”

I smiled at Estelle’s question.

“I told you. “It’s around afternoon.”

“So, you have to tell me exactly when it is, around afternoon…” .”

Estelle trailed off, patted her mask and spoke.

“… “Are you going to overpower me?”

I guess you finally understand what I mean. I smiled and nodded. It was an arrogant suggestion to set aside the entire afternoon since I didn’t know when I would go to the lab.

It was also a warning that the Crown Princess, who was always busy, would not do business with me unless she devoted her entire afternoon to me.

It means that if you want to do business with me, act like ‘B’.

Estelle nodded leisurely and spoke in a satisfied voice.

“… It’s like a shady pig, I like this again! Okay, I’ll pass it on that way!”

After buying snacks to share with the members, I ran into Navier by chance on my way back to the academy. When she saw me, Navier came over to me, her face unable to hide her joy.

“Ross! “How are you going on dates this month?”

As soon as we met, we started talking about dating, is this the life of an insider? ! The corners of my mouth rose in a strange sense of pride.

“Is there a need to make a hasty decision? “It’s vacation now anyway.”

Navier spoke to me with an expression as if he was wondering what I was talking about.

“You didn’t know? After the school vacation tomorrow, I will go straight back to Solaron. “If you want to go on a date this month, you have to come to Solaron.”

I scratched my forehead with a stupid expression on my face at the unexpected words. Still, there was no major problem. I was planning to go to Solaron during vacation anyway.

“are you okay. “I was planning to go to Solaron with my teacher to learn the martial arts of the original family.”

Navier’s eyes lit up with anticipation at my words.

“Are we going on a mysterious and adventurous date again to reveal secrets of the past?”

It seems that what happened at the lighthouse was quite memorable. Although the level of difficulty is high, there are quite a few opportunities to be gained in the north. Even ‘things’ will be sleeping there.

After thinking for a moment, I nodded, unable to shake my expectant gaze.

“Well, I’ll try my best.”

“Try desperately! “You’ve never been on a proper date before!”

It wasn’t wrong, so I scratched my head feeling sorry. She’s glad she likes Navier’s personality, she might have held onto her head if it had been Estelle. As she was walking back to her academy talking about this and that, she suddenly asked Navier.

“Oh, did you hear that? “They say there was a thief in the pension department warehouse on the 5th floor.”

The topic of conversation a little while ago must have been what dessert is delicious to eat with milk… . It was a random question, but I knew it, so I nodded obediently.

“I overheard it in the teacher’s office. “How did you know?”

“I heard a senior who went to the warehouse on the 5th floor complaining after being investigated.”

Unlike me, who nodded roughly, saying “I guess so,” Nabier’s eyes were shining with interest.

“Is that why I went to the seniors who were investigated and asked them? But a senior said he heard the driver muttering. There is a difference between the record of the 5th floor warehouse door being opened and the number of people using the 5th floor staircase corridor… ! “The number of users increased by 1.”

It’s tremendous activity. He also has the qualities of an assistant. I play a comfortable armchair detective.

But there was an increase of 1 person. So, does that mean the criminal opened the pension department warehouse instead of using the 5th floor staircase hallway? Wait, that means… .

Navier’s excited voice overtook my thoughts.

“The warehouse was a secret room… !”
