The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 295



296 – Veto

I felt twice as tired because I had exerted all my strength and mental power in a short period of time. I looked at the corpse with her head blown off with wary eyes, wondering if she might be resurrected as a chimera or something like when she fought Professor Dwin.

Suddenly, a clear sound filled the alley. As if clapping his hands, the demon king, who was watching the fight from the wall of the alley, knocked the woman in the stomach. The behavior was very unpleasant and I felt physiological disgust.

“amazing. “I never thought I could beat Kormo, the transcendent, when I couldn’t reach the realm of transcendence.”

Hearing the Demon King’s voice sound like he was enjoying the game, I glared at him, hiding my distressed expression.

“Because fighting isn’t all about strength.”

“But no strategy can shine in the face of overwhelming power. As if I could destroy the human world by myself.”

It’s not arrogance or bravado. No one but Roel could defeat the Demon King. Because the setting is that the only villain who can kill the Demon King and the only hope is the hero. The demon king said as the woman’s stomach twitched.

“I became more curious about you. It makes me want to keep him by my side as a faithful subordinate. So, I propose to you as the king who rules the demon world. Spearman who controls space, become my subordinate. Then I will make sure you get everything you want.”

It was like a declaration that could only be made by someone who was in the position of absolute king who placed everyone under him. Like an oath, a declaration filled with the ruler’s magic that makes it impossible to suspect that the Demon King’s proposal is false. I shook my head vigorously to shake off the emotion, as it caused a strange ripple in my normal emotions and aroused my temptation.

I growled and spoke to the Demon King, alerting him.

“I refuse.”

A moment of silence fell in the alley where a corpse lay with its head pierced. The demon king, who was caressing his stomach with the woman’s hand for a moment, asked as if he couldn’t understand.

“Why? Aren’t you humans living for the goals of immortality, great power, and wealth? “If you become my subordinate, I can give you all of those things.”

It’s definitely an attractive proposition. But the Demon King and my goals were very different. The Demon King, who hates all humans, wants to destroy the human world. There will not be a single survivor left behind. The devil’s followers are just expendables.

As the devil’s followers want, the massacre will not end and the followers will not become rulers of the remaining humans by right. Because all humans will become extinct at the hands of the devil. The followers seem to have forgotten that they are also included in that group of people.

It was natural for me, who worked hard to protect my precious people, to reject the devil’s offer. I don’t regret what I decided to do. I will definitely do it. For me, who had made such determination the pillar that supported my heart, the devil who awakened my feelings of temptation with just one suggestion was truly a fearful being.

I was able to get a glimpse of why Ross, who felt inferior and had difficulty in school, could so easily sell his soul to the devil’s temptation. I sighed unconsciously and tightly grasped the Spear of Destruction. He raised his spirit and spoke in a firm voice.

“Because what I want is your neck.”

“Hehehehe… As expected, he is different from the Ross I knew. “He’s so different from the idiot who sold his soul for just one woman.”

The woman snapped her fingers. Then the sound of her skull being smashed echoed through the alley. The head of the woman who had been pierced by the spear suddenly exploded. As she lowered her body’s center of gravity and lowered the spear to the floor so that she could fight any sudden situation, a voice came from inside the woman’s stomach.

“calm down. I told you that now I can only watch because of restrictions. I couldn’t have you either by force or temptation, so I’m thinking of giving up today. There is no need to deal with causality in a place like this. “Anyway, I just have to come back to you later in a better body.”

The devil doesn’t know that I come from another world. The Demon King, who didn’t know that I would disappear from this world tomorrow, had no reason to overdo it. I deliberately frowned and glared at the demon lord so as not to reveal my true feelings.

“Hehehe… I’m a very possessive person, so you’d better be prepared. Well then, we look forward to our next meeting… .”

When the headless woman snapped her fingers again, her stomach exploded. A lump of flesh fell in front of me in a parabola. A baby with its umbilical cord torn rolled at my feet. Then he held out his very small, dust-covered hand to me.

“How about we just shake hands between gentlemen?”

As I stared at the outstretched hand of the baby who couldn’t even open his eyes, I unleashed my power of destruction and burst the baby’s body without leaving a single piece of flesh behind. I swung the spear in the air and shook off the flesh and blood that stuck to the blade and muttered.

“A modified work.”

A feeble magical energy held in a baby’s hand. It must have been a trap to leave a trace for the devil to follow me.

After returning to the accommodation provided by Estelle, I took a shower and lay down on the bed. Checking the runes on my wrist, I felt like I could go to another world tomorrow morning. I took out a fountain pen and notepad from the space storage room. Organizing your thoughts in writing will be of great help later. It may be a small puzzle in the huge picture of probability.

While I was summarizing what happened today and about the Demon Lord, someone knocked on the door. There is only one person who will come visit me from another world. When I opened the door, Estelle was at the door, as expected. I could see that there was a luxurious wine bottle in his arms. Estelle, who noticed the gaze, held out a wine bottle and said.

“I thought I’d like to have a drink before I go to another world.”

I looked at Estelle in silence. The Estelle here is different from the Estelle I knew. Their personalities and tendencies will be different. Just as the gothic-style dress that the Estelle I used to wear was replaced with everyday clothes, the clothes that Estelle is wearing now, revealing her cleavage and body, may be ordinary for the Estelle here.

But it was late at night now. This was not the time to visit a man wearing revealing clothes and holding a wine bottle for no reason. I said to Estelle, putting my arm around the door frame.

“Is that really the only reason you came here?”

Estelle, who realized that she had sensed the purpose of my visit from the whispering voice, smiled charmingly and approached me with a strange gesture.

“A man who has been drinking tends to become slurred in bed. The guild leader of the information guild cannot miss this opportunity. Especially a special person like you.”

I smiled bitterly at Estelle’s words. I could tell that he came to me with the calculation that the longer he spent with me, who knew information about the future, the more information he would be able to obtain. It’s natural for a man consumed by alcohol and s*xual desire to lose his temper.

“I’m sorry, but I decline.”

“why? It shouldn’t be that big of a problem for an adult to spend a casual night… “Am I not a good one-night stand partner?”

I laughed out loud when I saw Estelle looking up at me pitifully, as if trying to arouse my sympathy. For some reason, it felt like Estelle here had many times collected information in this way. It felt really different from Estelle, who couldn’t even make eye contact with men without a mask.

“I have a girlfriend.”

Estelle looked up at me with wide eyes for a moment as if it was an unexpected answer, thought about something for a moment, and then spoke again with a seductive expression.

“It doesn’t matter, does it? Today is just a story about one night in another world. How would your girlfriend know? And it’s natural for a talented man to have relationships with multiple women. “Like your older brother Roel.”

That is correct. There was no way for Luna to know what I experienced in the other world. Still, she had no intention of having s*x with Estelle. This is just a difference of heart. Because I have no intention of doing anything bad just because I don’t get caught. How is this any different from swinging your fist to leave no scars?

“I care.”

Estelle must have realized that my firm voice was no longer working to persuade her, so she sighed and held out the wine bottle in her arms.

“… sorry. I was greedy for no reason. I never thought she would have a girlfriend. Still, since I brought it here, please at least have some wine. “It’s a good wine.”

As I looked at Estelle’s back after handing me the wine bottle and walking away, I muttered in bewilderment at the thought that occurred to me later.

“… “Why didn’t I ever think you had a girlfriend?”

The next day.

Estelle, who had been rejected by Ross the night before, came back to the dormitory and knocked on the door. She had intended to have a meal together and get some useful information. However, there was no sound of footsteps inside despite the knock. The manager said that she had not come out of the room.

Could it be that he went to another world without saying goodbye? Estelle knocked on the door a little more just in case, received the master key from the manager, and opened the door. There was no one in the bed that showed signs of use. There were only empty wine bottles lying on the table.

“Ha, it looks like he really went… “Without even saying hello.”

It looks like he felt pressured by his visit last night. It was a mistake to approach him blatantly, thinking he was just like any other man. As Estelle turned to leave the room with a sigh, she noticed a small folded piece of paper lying under the empty wine bottle.

Estelle opened the paper and tilted her head at the words – Wine price under the pillow – and then walked over to the bed and lifted the pillow. There were several sheets of paper that looked like they had been torn from a notebook. After reading the paper filled with handwriting, Estelle sat down on the bed with a satisfied smile.

It was full of information that was too much for the price of the wine. There was even information written about the place where the devil was sealed in the north and about the fountain pen of God. Last of the paper. Estelle, who was carefully stroking with her fingertips the words ‘Sending support to another Estelle’ written with a fountain pen, let out a sigh filled with deep regret.

“… “I’ll just attack you.”
