The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 292



293 – Swing your fist at least

When I returned to Modest, I could see Estelle filling out documents with a businesslike guild leader look that was completely different from the Estelle I knew. He must have been so focused that he kept his lips pressed together and his eyes fixed on the documents until I approached the desk.

Estelle belatedly raised her head and met my gaze, smiling a faint consolation on her face as if she had noticed something.

“If I see a bad expression… “I guess you didn’t get what you wanted?”

I thought I had sorted out all my emotions, but I guess there were still traces on my face. I shook my head with a bitter smile to shake off any remaining thoughts and answered in a stern voice.

“The purpose has been achieved.”

Estelle was probably secretly watching me. Even if I treat you as a guest, I look like Ross, who caused a big problem at the Academy. Surveillance is natural if you think about future safety and to prevent Modest from getting caught up in something unnecessary.

Estelle looked at me in silence for a while, making eye contact, and then pouted her lips with an expression of dissatisfaction.

“… Is that so? “Then I’m glad.”

Since I didn’t find anything unusual during my surveillance, I guess they were curious about my purpose. There was no obligation to answer, so I turned and headed to the guest sofa in the corner.

The slime magician who was waiting for me to return took the slime off my face and put it back into the empty bottle. I wiped my face, which was still a little sticky, with a towel soaked in warm water that Amber gave me. Even though it’s a different world, Amber’s sense doesn’t seem to have disappeared.

“Then I’ll go out.”

As the man and Amber left the room after picking up their bags and greeting Estelle and me, Estelle made a small motion for them to come to the desk. She got up from the guest sofa and sat down across from Estelle. Estelle took out a document from her desk drawer and held it out with an expression on her face that seemed to expect my reaction.

“This is the information you requested about Transcendence students.”

“It’s faster than I thought. “I thought it would take some time.”

“Transcendence Academy is home to the most talented prospects on the continent. In particular, we update the information of every single student. “When it comes to Transcendence information, you can always get an express price.”

It is not uncommon for students who graduate from Transcendence to become famous knights, scholars, and wizards. From the perspective of selling information, it was natural to pay attention. Estelle, from the world I was in, also smiled brightly, saying that she was earning a lot of money from the information about Roel and me.

I accepted the document Estelle handed me and slowly checked the contents. The four-page document contained the information about the Messiah members that I had requested.

A narrative of life contained on a single piece of paper. However, it occurred to me at first glance that if it had been Jin Xian, he would not have been able to fill even half a page. It was a life without any special features, except for an unfortunate family.

“Two of the four students who requested it were already dead. “Did you know?”

I smiled wryly at the sight of Estelle asking me that question and looking at me with observational eyes, as if checking my reaction.

“… “I guess.”

After giving a short answer, I focused on reading what was written on the document. Estelle also picked up the fountain pen without interrupting any more. As I listened to the sound of documents being filled out, I read the paper containing Lakar’s life with a strange feeling.

As expected, Rakar was killed by a chimera that attacked the restaurant during the attack on the warlock’s academy. In that case, Rakar’s older sister, Lamine, would have fallen for the cult’s spy, Professor Dewin, and headed to the cult by now. To become the owner of the Spear of Destruction and Confsion’s number 3, Iron Blood Rene.

I patted my chin and checked the next chapter. Kane van Youssef. Her life at the academy was okay, and she didn’t particularly join any clubs. Looking at the date of her death, it was only a few days ago. The cause of death was suicide.

Kane, who had spent his entire life wearing the mask of annoyance and looking for an opportunity to use his life to avenge his mother, could not have suddenly given up on revenge and chosen suicide.

The last line of the article about Canet. To shake off the ominous thoughts that the body was cremated on the same day without any special investigation, I let out a long sigh and hoped that Kane’s last days would not be painful.

Luna and Aria were leading a normal school life. It seems that Aria even joined the cooking club. It was a very suitable choice for Aria, who loves to eat. Luna’s change was something she saw with her own eyes, so she didn’t see anything special.

I put down my documents and leaned back against the backrest. After gathering my thoughts for a moment, I reluctantly opened my mouth under Estelle’s persistent gaze that seemed to pierce my face.

“… “I think there’s something I want to say.”

I regretted saying that right away. Estelle’s eyes had changed. The way they were shining with blatant desire made me want to leave the place for no reason. Estelle smiled, pretending to be cautious, as if trying to seduce me.

“yes. There are so many things I want to ask. “If it’s true that they came from another world, there’s definitely information we can use.”

I thought about Estelle’s words for a moment. According to Jin Xian’s explanation, this world was already trapped in a shackle and its ending was predestined. Even if we use future information to create a huge butterfly effect, we will not be able to avoid the planned destruction. Even if you create a typhoon in a teacup, it will never escape the teacup.

However, even though I knew it was pointless, I briefly explained to Estelle what was going to happen. Although everyone ultimately ends up dying, just as people live faithfully every day. Even if I face planned destruction, I wanted to help me swing my fist at destruction at least once.

The long explanation is over. Estelle, who was listening to the explanation with an expression of disbelief, quietly made eye contact with her. The pupils shake violently. It seems like he vaguely realized the sincerity in my words.

Estelle looked around in silence, lowered her gaze, then raised her head to look at the ceiling and sighed heavily.

“… “It’s a story I don’t want to believe.”

I agreed with that. If you had explained this to me a few weeks ago, I would never have believed it. Even if I try my best to explain my experience to someone, not many people will truly believe me. Because there is a difference between what you experience directly and what you hear through words that can never be narrowed down.

I shrugged my shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression.

“So, in my world, I’m going to change it. “I don’t like the ending.”

Estelle smiled slightly as she looked at me and asked.

“With a happy ending?”

“of course. “Depressing stories don’t sell.”

We looked at each other in silence and burst out laughing.

***

Estelle provided me with accommodations when I had no place to go. I thought about having dinner together, but I walked the streets of the capital alone as Estelle seemed determined to change the planned ending using the information I had received.

Because the sun went down, the temperature dropped. I went into a bar with a lot of customers and ate dinner alone in the corner. Looking at the runes on my wrist, it seemed like it would have to be tomorrow morning to move on to the world a few years later.

I got up with the intention of drinking some warm coffee and checking my future plans. As I was heading to the cafe I went to with Luna, I stopped when I heard a sound.

“… “Ross.”

Wearing a mask at night is an act that attracts people’s attention, so I only wore the hood of my robe deeply pressed down. So maybe someone recognized me by looking at my face. But when I looked into the alley, I couldn’t see any people. Only voices remained like reverberations in the alley.

I heard an auditory hallucination, and I may have thought so. But it was clear that my name had been heard. The alley without any lights looked eerie, but I walked without hesitation.

As I entered the alley, I felt a strange sense of strangeness sweep over my body. As I walked down the alley with my guard up, something caught my eye. Someone had collapsed, leaning against the wall. She was a strange woman I had never seen before. Also, a full-term pregnant woman.

There was no one else in the alley. There was no place to hide her body, so it was likely that she was the one calling my name. To see if there was anything wrong with her body, he saw the woman with her eyes closed and breathing with difficulty. He got close to her and knelt down to check her condition.

“Are you okay?”

The woman who had closed her eyes at that question opened them with difficulty and raised her head to meet my gaze. She looks older. Probably early 30s. The woman with me in her eyes suddenly smiled.

“That’s right, Ross.”

Wow!

The body of the woman whose head was pierced by the spear of shadow slowly fell. Her crushed brain and blood colored her alley. I quietly got up, raised my magic power, and looked around. Even though the woman was dead, no special signs were felt. What kind of trap is this?

There is no need to wait for enemies that do not appear. The moment I turned and was about to leave the alley, I heard a sound behind me. Looking behind her over her shoulder, I saw the woman with her head pierced lifting her body up. Her head was bent behind her, but her pregnant body, soaked in blood and brain fluid, was facing me.

“The greeting is too extreme. “Ross.”

I realized it a beat late.

The voice that called my name came not from a woman’s mouth, but from her stomach.
