The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 297



298 – Cat

I suddenly felt proud of myself as I was hit by small beads falling like hail. At that moment, she entered the Modest and shouted Estelle’s name because she felt that she could not do without excellent quick wits.

Ross, who died several years ago, suddenly appears covered in blood and faints while mentioning the name of the guild leader he had been secretly hiding? I can’t help but wonder if this is a person. Especially if it’s a shady intelligence guild that operates in secret, they’ll go crazy because they’re curious about my true identity.

Isn’t this the same level of curiosity as sneaking into the teacher’s office after school and stealing a diary containing the daily life of a girl you like during summer vacation from your homeroom teacher’s seat? Anyway, Modest will keep me safe while I faint until the penalty is over. Curiosity is such a scary thing.

I’m not the type of person who particularly likes to praise myself, but it’s a choice that makes me mutter to myself, ‘I tore this up.’ To come up with such a thought with such a quick wit is a bit strange to someone who boasts such a brilliant mind. Because I regained my essence as a writer, I also regained my intelligence – no, when I think about it again, I think I always pursued cool-headed and rational choices.

Should I say that his intelligence remains excellent, but he has gained mental composure? Even in games, the positive mindset of always blaming others with the mindset that I am not at fault may have returned. Isn’t it the poor knowledge of a person in modern society to be tolerant of one’s own mistakes and not to miss out on pointing out others’ mistakes like a fighting dog biting the back of the neck?

Then there was only one thing for me to do during the boring marble picking time. It is the most basic way to overcome depression, and it is an action that brings decent results every time.

“Fuck Roel~”

This time, I really almost died, so from the victim’s perspective, padding is okay. However, since they share the same parents, I decided to only criticize Roel. Although I was not loved by my parents, I am still the last Ross, Cinderella, who values ​​filial piety.

***

When the penalty was over and I opened my eyes, what I saw was not an unfamiliar ceiling, but an unfamiliar cat mask. For some reason, I had the foolish thought that the white mask might match the panties. Anyway, I rolled my eyes at the sight of the girl looking down at me, her chin slightly folded, like a real cat.

“Estelle… ?”

“Don’t call the guild leader’s name carelessly!”

I could tell it wasn’t Estelle because of her violent reaction, as if she was scolding me. I awkwardly raised my upper body and looked at my body. The bloody body is clean without any traces. The skin was not sticky, and the blood-stained clothes had been changed into clean clothes.

“I heard you look the same as the person who died two years ago?”

At the sudden question, I raised my head and looked at the masked girl. The look is full of vigilance, and it looks as if a dagger will be pulled out from within if the hand even moves. Are you really trying to be mean to me? The sharpness of her eyes makes her shrug her shoulders.

“It’s suspicious. What is your purpose in coming to Modest? Why is it that there is not a single wound on the body even though it is covered in blood? Did you kill someone and run away to Modest? Or resurrection… ?”

It’s a reasonable suspicion. But now I am a ‘guest’ who has information that can answer Modest’s questions. A and B are different. I twitched one corner of my mouth.

“There is no reason to give free information to customers who come to the information guild. “If you’re that curious, wouldn’t it be polite for the guild leader to come and ask politely?”

“I would never put a guild leader in the same room with a suspicious and sinister-looking person like you!”

“If you were that suspicious, why didn’t you at least tie your hands and feet before you wake up?”

As I playfully held my two wrists together and reached out to the girl in front of me, I thought I heard a growling sound coming from the girl’s body. If I mess around and get bitten, I’ll be the only one who loses. As I slowly pulled my hand away and met the girl’s sharp gaze with innocent, kind eyes that had no malice whatsoever, the wall suddenly flipped over and a woman wearing a black cat mask appeared.

“hello. “I am Estelle, the leader of the Modest guild.”

“Oh, hi… do.”

At Modest, the customer is king. So when he first came to visit Modist, he casually used informal language like other customers. The reason I spoke informally to Estelle, who was a year older than me in the previous world, was because it was natural. But this time, I couldn’t speak informally like before.

This is because the woman wearing the black cat mask looked very similar to the Meskaki Estelle I knew. Purple eyes visible from the eye holes of the mask, and a gothic style dress. And to the small height that is about the size of my chest… I couldn’t possibly treat him like anyone else.

I have an uneasy question. This is a world where only the time zone is different from the previous world. However, the promiscuous Estelle who came to the guest room that night that I experienced and the Estelle in front of me now were completely different people on the outside.

Could it be that the appearance of extras who do not have separate appearance settings is determined randomly in each world? If that is true, the appearance of the Messiah members who do not appear in the novel may have also changed. However, there was no change in Luna’s appearance in the previous world, except that her body was not uncomfortable.

This definitely needed to be checked. It could be a coincidence that Luna in the previous world was no different from my memories. Luna, who sometimes made a natural smile with her voluptuous presence when she leaned in, may be an A-cup that borders on tragedy here. Aria, whose mental age is close to 4 years old, may be a mature 8 year old who does not covet food that others used to eat.

Estelle came closer to the bed I was lying on and spoke in a soft voice.

“When I called the priest to check his condition, he said there was no problem with his body, so I thought he would wake up soon… “I was quite surprised because I didn’t regain consciousness for three days – no matter how many times I hit him.”

It seems like something was said very quickly in the middle of the conversation… I guess it’s because of my mood. The appearance of the black cat mask was the same as Estelle’s in memory, but the intonation and pitch of voice were different. His tone of voice also became a bit hateful, as if he was using modesty and humility as his motto. however… .

“… “I was down for three days?”

It was only now that I noticed that the runes on my wrist were green. It felt long not because it was boring, but because the penalty was really long. It appears that the cut on the back of the neck by Roel was a fatal injury. Of course, if a continuation of the battle was activated, it was because of a fatal injury, but I had no idea it would take three days. Is it because of the heavy bleeding?

“I would like to talk to you alone. Could you please leave the room for a moment?”

Like a cat who had been betrayed by the can opener who trusted Estelle’s words, the girl wearing the white cat mask had another seizure.

“Gil, guild leader! “Are you sure you would accept someone who looks like such a suspicious, gloomy pervert as your guest?”

Somehow, it feels like descriptions of me are being added one by one. Estelle seemed familiar with the girl’s seizures and explained in a relaxed manner.

“I entered the store and used the hidden passageway without even using the password. Even if you were the one who spoke the guild leader’s name, which was completely kept secret… “I think he’s an interesting person worth having a conversation with.”

As expected, my prediction was correct. The information guild essentially resembles the personality of a gloomy guy like me. Honestly, what could be more exciting than finding out someone else’s secret? It even has the same face as the dead Ross… ? If a person tolerates this, he or she will get sick.

“But Roel said you have the same face as the younger brother you killed! “Maybe it’s the devil’s trap!”

She resembles Aria in not giving up her opinion despite the kind persuasion of others. She needs to buckle down a bit, she looks. As if agreeing with my thoughts, she gave me a look as if telling me to leave Estelle alone for a while and turned her head to the girl in the white mask.

“I guess the Modest guild leader felt weak enough to be attacked by someone who had just awakened? Or were you thinking that I was a fool who would fall into an obvious trap?”

“Of course not! “I never thought of it that way!”

“Then can you trust me, the guild leader, and go out?”

There was silence in the room for a moment. Was he speechless or was he silent because he thought he would have to leave the room if he answered? The girl in the white mask kept her mouth shut and lowered her head to avoid Estelle’s gaze.

Why does the sight of Estelle sighing deeply as she watched overlap with the sight of me pitifully looking at Aria stealing Luna’s cake?

“Danger, this is an order from you as the leader of the Modest guild. “Could you please make room for me?”

I was annoyed at the sight of him helplessly lowering his head at the obvious order to congratulate the guests, but I belatedly came to my senses when I heard the word “danger.”

“Bang, what did you just say…” ?”

“… yes?”

Estelle tilted her head as she looked at me stuttering. I calmly controlled my excitement and pointed with my finger at the girl in the white mask who was lowering her head.

“You called that person Danger… ?”

At my question, Estelle looked at me with a somewhat wary look.

“… “Do you know Danger?”

Despite Estelle’s wary look, I couldn’t help but nod foolishly. Danger is what I was looking for… Because it was the name of the benefactor who saved Luna’s life.
