The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 262
263 – Gisaeng
As I was calmly accepting the gaze focused on me, Conrad, who had been quietly observing me, snorted loudly on purpose.
“Hmph, it’s obvious. “I was just caught up in a delusion due to the shock of getting hit on the head.”
Raelan asked me with a bold smile, as if he had been waiting for those words.
“Or maybe there’s a reason why they claimed to come from another world. Either you have conclusive evidence that will convince us all.”
For some reason, Raelan’s eyes looking at me felt harsh. She is probably upset that he ignored her own advice and revealed that she is from another world.
Of course, I also wanted to rely on the guide’s advice to my heart’s content. However, I felt anxious, as if I was wasting an opportunity that would never come again if I followed Raelan’s advice and did nothing while being wary of Roel. You’ve already made your choice, so regretting it is useless. This is the moment when I have to trust my choice, even if it is wrong.
I stretched out my hand and opened a space warehouse in the air. I wonder if there’s anyone here who doesn’t know what a space warehouse is. Everyone swallowed their saliva when they saw the space warehouse I created. Roel said with a bitter smile, looking at the space warehouse.
“Rosaline’s space storage magic… I guess you had it in another world.”
After nodding slightly at Roel’s words, Conrad spoke vaguely.
“Just because you can use Rosaline’s magic doesn’t mean you’re from another world.”
Everyone nodded as if they agreed with Conrad’s point. Clearly, magic alone is not persuasive. But I never thought that space storage alone would be enough to convince me. What mattered was the contents of the warehouse.
As I took out the Spear of Destruction from the space storage and placed it on the table, Illya, who was watching, muttered softly.
“… “Spear of Destruction.”
“In other worlds, this is my main weapon.”
Conrad looked at the Spear of Destruction with disbelief and asked my permission.
“Do you mind if I touch it myself?”
Instead of answering, he pushed the Spear of Destruction towards Konrad, and Konrad quickly reached out and picked up the Spear of Destruction and looked at it intently. Conrad tapped the pole of the spear with his fingers and flicked the blade, then fell asleep and handed the Spear of Destruction back to me.
“I’m sure it’s genuine… “How can this be?”
Conrad, who was muttering with a puzzled expression, looked at me with suspicious eyes. I guess they still can’t believe I’m from another world.
“I may have obtained the Spear of Destruction that was rolling around after Iron Blood Renee died quite accidentally.”
Raelan said that and smiled strangely. I don’t think he has any intention of being on my side and helping me persuade him. In that case, we have no choice but to keep presenting evidence.
Ilya and Roel’s eyes widened as they realized the shape of the window in the drawing room that they had imagined in their heads.
“You even have the Spear of Shadow… ?”
I was satisfied to see Roel giving me a surprised look, so I nodded vigorously.
“Yes, because I use a spear as my main weapon. “I use different windows depending on the purpose.”
“… “I see, you use a spear over there.”
I tilted my head at Roel’s answer. Is Ross here using a different weapon? I was curious about this part because it was not mentioned separately in the novel.
“What weapon did I use here?”
“of course… It’s a sword. Because you wanted to beat me. “When I tried to help you, you turned me down with a straight face.”
Well, if I hadn’t obtained Patulga’s magic book, there was no reason to choose the spear. When I think about it, thanks to the lucky discovery of Fatulga’s magic book, I was able to accomplish a lot despite having a hard time adjusting to academy life in the beginning due to my lower-than-average abilities.
After deemphasizing the creative spirit, I revealed that I had additionally learned intangible breathing. I didn’t miss the way Raelan’s eyes flashed eerily at those words. After demonstrating how to use intangible breathing as Raelan requested, I looked at Konrad and said,
“Isn’t this enough proof that I come from another world?”
“Okay… However, there is no foreign feeling at all, like I’m from another world… “There has been no change recently in the collapsed world balance.”
Conrad still didn’t believe me, but it was Roel, not the Conrad I was trying to convince in the first place. I turned my head and looked at Roel, who was lost in thought.
“… “You don’t believe me?”
In response to my question, Roel shook his head with a soft smile.
“No, I believed it from the beginning. Because there is no reason for you to lie to me like that. And there is evidence like this. So believe it.”
I felt good that Roel trusted me. Roel lifted her head for a moment and looked at her ceiling. There was silence at the table for a moment as she wondered if each of them had something to think about. Roel looked down from the ceiling and broke the silence.
“Ross, is there a way to return to your world?”
It was a voice filled with childlike anticipation. The eyes looking at me also seemed to shine brightly. Now that we have found hope to escape destruction, it may be a natural reaction.
“there is. but… I’m not sure the others will be able to go back either. As Conrad said, the world may deny existence.”
I had a vague idea of what would happen until I heard Conrad’s words. However, after listening to Conrad’s words, he was able to roughly understand the situation.
The reason why I do not disappear into ashes even though I am in another world is probably because of the magic on my wrist. This is not just speculation. Thanks to understanding some of the information about the new magic in my head, I realized it after listening to Conrad’s explanation. That the magic on my wrist is deceiving the world.
This magic is not something that can be taught. Because it was a magic that even I, who was using it in the first place, did not understand. I don’t even know how to use it for other people. Neither the structure of the technique nor its magical interpretation is possible. It’s magic that just exists, as if someone forced it into my head.
In a low voice, I explained what I found out as best as I could. Everything from how I came to this world to the effect of the runes surrounding my wrist.
Upon hearing that it might be impossible to go back with me, Roel sighed and washed his face dry.
“If only I could go back to the past… “It could have changed everything.”
Roel’s voice filled with deep regret made me feel guilty. Because he felt like he had given hope and then taken it away.
Perhaps frustrated with not being able to escape the situation of the world being destroyed, Roel got up from his seat and walked slowly around the table. He had a worried expression.
After a moment of silence, Roel stopped walking and smiled softly at me.
“Ross, thank you for being honest.”
“huh… And sorry. “I think I gave you useless hope.”
I feel sorry and can’t look at Roel directly. The moment I looked down, I felt something hot and wet touch my face.
Tuktuduk-
Something rolled over the table and hit the plate in front of me. It was an arm. He looked up and looked dumbfounded at Raelan, whose arm had been cut off. Raelan, who was looking down at me with a reproachful gaze, looked straight ahead and said.
“Hehe, as expected, you come out like this. Being quick to judge has always been an advantage. “The execution ability is also scary.”
Raelan, who had a severed arm, lifted me up from the chair, covering it with his body as if to protect me. Even then, I didn’t understand the situation. No, I could never understand it with my head.
I couldn’t understand why Roel swung his great sword at me, who had honestly told me everything.
Luckily, I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand the situation, and Ilya and Konrad also stood up and looked at Roel with puzzled faces.
“Roh, Roel… .”
“What are you doing now? “You swing your sword with the intention of killing your brother!”
Only then was I able to accept Conrad’s angry voice. Roel really tried to kill me.
But why… ?
As if to answer that question, Roel opened his mouth.
“… Since you told me everything honestly, I will be honest with you too.”
Roel brushed off Raelan’s blood from his great sword and made eye contact with me. Then she smiled boldly with an unfamiliar expression that I had never seen before.
“Ross, I can get everything from you. “We are connected to something invisible.”
“what… ?”
It was as incomprehensible as the current situation. What on earth does it mean to be able to feel everything about myself? The question was answered by Roel, his partner.
“I could feel your presence the moment you arrived in this world. That’s why I was able to find you easily. Because the broken connection was reconnected. Thanks to this connection, I was able to see that your soul was mixed up, and I was able to get back to you the embarrassment you were feeling and everything you were experiencing… Of course, that includes the magic you used in this world.”

A green flash shot out from the tip of the holy sword that was pointing towards the floor. The floor seemed to vibrate for a moment, and then something broke through the floor and appeared around Roel. It was the root of a rapidly growing plant.
The roots are freely controlled as if they were living creatures… That was the rapid growth spell I used on the beanstalk seeds to avoid the chaos bugs.
As I stared blankly at the moving roots, I unconsciously took a step toward Roel.
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
Roel naturally shrugged his shoulders at my reaction.
“You can also use the intangible breath that you showed Raelan. But for some reason, I can’t figure out the space magic you described that can lead to another world.”
Roel raised his great sword and aimed it at me.
“Maybe it’s because the runes on your wrist are protecting your magic. In that case, even if it means cutting off your arm… “I will obtain space magic that will allow me to go to another world.”
Conrad, who was watching the conversation, pointed his staff at Roel, covering me with his back as if protecting me like Raelan.
Raelan, who was quick-witted, must have realized everything from Roel’s words and burst into laughter.
“… Haha, that was the essence of the inexplicable contradiction. “I never thought even a good lord would have such a dark secret.”
Roel smiled bitterly at Raelan’s ridicule.
“… I can do anything to save the world. “Because I promised to save everyone, no matter what the cost.”
Roel’s justice, which never breaks no matter the hardships, takes aim at me this time. As if it were the brothers’ fate.
Roel spoke to me with his own definition in his voice.
“Even if I have to kill you again, I have to save the world.”
