The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 321



322 – Title of the novel

“Are you planning to hit the player?”

I nodded in response to Raelan’s question, one corner of his mouth twisting. Ever since I spoke with Roel, who suddenly came to the club room, I felt a deep sense of anxiety that Roel would act faster than expected.

We must unconditionally move one step ahead of Roel. If Munchkin Roel senses this and intervenes, the likelihood of the plan failing will increase no matter how strong the force is built.

“… The person who plays a major role in Roel’s salvation plan is the immortal Roman. “I plan to eliminate Roman’s immortal ability before Roel gets it.”

Eunice raised her hand to ask a question. He must have been embarrassed by the sudden attention being focused on him. Eunice, whose face was slightly red, slowly lowered her hand and said,

“If Roman dies sooner than expected, the big flow will be distorted and causality will definitely occur. If that happens, there is a possibility that what will happen a few years later will be brought forward. “Maybe the cult leader will gain the causality to take direct action.”

I nodded with satisfaction as Eunice got to the point.

“know. But I think it’s absolutely necessary to stop Roel’s plan. Cult leaders and demon lords are also powerful enemies… “The biggest danger to us right now is Roel, the only hero who can defeat the Demon King.”

Estelle, who had been listening quietly, asked with a serious expression.

“Even if I kill the immortal Roman… “Can we persuade Roel?”

Silence fell in the drawing room. Everyone knows it. She couldn’t count the number of ways to save that she thought was the right answer, and she knew that Roel, who had swallowed up so many worlds, would not easily accept that she was wrong.

Eunice, who slightly lowered her gaze, placed her hand on her forehead and squeezed her curly hair as she continued speaking.

“Roel has already found his answer. He will act blindly to any persuasion. “I confirmed with Ilia in another world that he would even kill his lover if it interfered with his plans.”

After saying that, Eunice bit her lips and glanced at Bella. Bella, who received that gaze, glared at Eunice, then turned her head, looked straight at me with heavy gaze, and asked.

“Such Roel… “Can you convince me?”

Everyone’s eyes focused on my face. Their eyes are still filled with suspicion rather than trust. I said with a smile.

“We have to do something. We can’t just sit there and wait to be eaten.”

Everyone looks disappointed by the unconvincing answers. I think there was some expectation that I, the writer who created this world, would have a great way to persuade Roel.

No, the expression “everyone” is incorrect. Raelan was looking at me with her eyes shining and one corner of her mouth raised.

“It seems my lord already has a few good methods in mind.”

At Raelan’s words, everyone’s eyes went to Raelan and then back to me. I answered with a humble smile.

“… “I got caught.”

Everyone looked relieved at those words. Estelle sighed, rubbing her chest and yelling at me.

“You sneaky pig! You don’t have to tell us everything! “We are here to help you!”

Eunice and Bella nodded simultaneously, as if agreeing with him. I spoke clearly to everyone who was looking at me.

“I didn’t really intend to hide it. “I have no intention of making another secret from those who have shared all my memories with me.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Raelan asked with a sly smile. Even though we’re comrades, it seems like the things that put me in difficult situations haven’t changed.

“Because it’s not perfect yet to convince Roel.”

Seeing the expression on his face that he didn’t understand, I added additional explanation.

“For now, I’m just gathering materials to persuade Roel. And I haven’t decided how to combine the ingredients yet. That’s why I didn’t say it.”

Estelle and Eunice nodded in understanding, but Bella did not let go easily.

“Persuading Roel is an important matter. This is an issue that everyone here needs to put their heads together to think about. “Even if it’s just material for persuasion, I think it’s right to disclose that information to everyone.”

Bella crossed her arms and looked at me quietly. It was as if he wanted to prove here that he was a person worthy of leading everyone. I looked at everyone with a relaxed smile and asked.

“So what do you all think Roel’s purpose is?”

“It must be arbitrary salvation. “Because he’s a crazy guy who thinks he’s the only hero who can save everyone.”

As soon as Estelle finished speaking, Bella spoke in a cold voice.

“That’s stupid. Roel, like a hero, just made the choice to protect everyone. “If Roel had not chosen to suffer alone for eons, he would have been destroyed as planned by the God of the Chaos Cult.”

Ignoring Estelle and Bella, who were having another snowball fight, I turned my attention to Eunice. The freckled girl frowned and pondered, and finally opened her mouth.

“… Isn’t the goal itself victory? “Because he believes that his victory is connected to salvation, he decided that he could not win in a fight with the God of Chaos, so he decided to continue the draw endlessly.”

I nodded and looked at Raelan one last time.

“The greatest happiness for the greatest number.”

I couldn’t help but smile at those short words. Because there were no better words to describe Roel’s actions than those.

Utilitarian warrior. That is the source of Roel that will never change.

“That is correct. That’s why Roel endures a time of hardship alone, and he chooses to live in a utopia where everyone who is one with him is happy. Because that was the only way to achieve the greatest happiness for the greatest number against the gods of Chaos.”

Eunice seemed to understand the intention of saying this, nodding her head and pouring out the words with an excited expression.

“Yes, Roel is not just a blind madman who wants to save everyone. He is just a utilitarian warrior fighting for the greatest happiness of the greatest number. We don’t need to make Roel admit that his method of salvation was wrong. He just needs to come up with a new way to make everyone happy!”

Bella continued Eunice’s words with a surprised expression.

“If we can make Roel accept that this world is the end… Surely Roel will accept his mistakes for the sake of everyone and find another way to save the world. “Because he is a man who will never give up.”

“You sneaky genius pig… !”

“Perhaps because he is the writer who created the character, he understands Roel perfectly. Obviously, if you approach it that way, it will be easy to control Roel.”

When everyone’s admiring gaze fell on me, I just shrugged my shoulders in silence. Maybe it’s because everyone is so smart, but if something is thrown at them, they tend to over-interpret it.

Even if there is no hidden message in the novel, there are readers everywhere who somehow find it and interpret it. The author’s attitude is to explain only those things that are unfavorable to me.

Now that expectations for me have been raised to the highest level, I said something that would drive a decisive wedge into the mind that I am an excellent master.

“We don’t have to worry about the devil anymore.”

“… ?”

Everyone looked at me with a puzzled expression. Even Raelan tilted his head slightly but clearly.

It’s a natural reaction. If it weren’t for the Chaos God who intervened under the pretext of probability, the final boss of this novel would have been the Demon King.

He is the devil who is driving the continent to the brink of destruction. It’s rather strange that people don’t express surprise when they are told not to worry about it.

“What does that mean?”

In response to Bella’s question, I said this instead of explaining.

“Yonghari.”

It was the starting word of authority that allowed us to see the set of settings for [The Hero’s Harem Has No Choice but to Win]. Although they couldn’t see it, everyone who knew about the setting book through my memories waited in silence for my next explanation.

“I think everyone remembers and knows that the setting book contains the settings written down while writing the novel and the things readers have organized.”

Having experienced another world, I thought endlessly about ways to save this world. While eating, training and resting, I continued to think about ways to do it.

After checking the settings book countless times to see if I had missed anything, I was finally able to find something I hadn’t noticed before.

“The reason I wrote this novel was because of half-baked jealousy. “I wanted to write comfortably like everyone else, so I started serializing things that were popular at the time.”

After saying that, I paused for a moment and then turned my head to Estelle.

“As we threw in popular things, the writing became too confusing, so there were a number of settings that were later discarded. Estelle Mesugaki was one of them.”

“You stupid pig! “A charming heroine like me would definitely be popular!”

I continued my explanation while calming Estelle down.

“This is a world where discarded settings have been resurrected. Ross of Hope even gave up her own world to ask her saint. So I thought about it for a while. Could there be another reason why Hope Ross revived the discarded setting? And I finally found the answer in the settings book.”

Hope Ross must have known that I, who can understand the flow of twisted probabilities, could create a new story. Therefore, an opportunity was given to create a new story that did not go against probability by using the discarded setting.

Eunice swallowed her saliva at my explanation and spoke with a nervous face.

“… “Answer?”

“There was a text written with a strikethrough in the text organized by readers. “I thought it was useless before, but now I realize it is a crucial hint.”

Thanks to regaining the essence of a writer, I was able to belatedly realize the value of writing, which I had previously ignored and overlooked.

I spoke in a low voice.

“Of course I thought the Demon Lord would be a woman, but the article said that surprisingly, it was a man.”

“What is that… ?”

Bella, Eunice, and Estelle looked like they didn’t understand at all. However, Raelan jumped up from his seat and shouted with a rarely seen excited face, like a scholar who had made a great discovery.

“In the abandoned setting, the demon lord was a woman!”

When I nodded, Raelan sat down and burst into laughter alone. Women who still didn’t understand looked at me asking for an explanation.

“Just as we incorporated the academy, which was a popular setting at the time, into hero stories, it was quite popular at the time to have the demon lord become a heroine belonging to the hero’s harem.”

Eunice’s eyes widened as she realized it too late.

“Wait a minute, that means… ?”

I said with a grin.

“The demon king of this world, whose abandoned setting has been resurrected… “A ‘woman’ who can join Roel’s harem.”

You should not forget the title just because you are possessed by a novel. The title is a theme that runs through the story.

The warrior’s harem has no choice but to win.

So, if the previous final boss, the Demon King, joins Roel’s harem, wouldn’t he have no choice but to win against the God of Chaos?
