The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 322



323 – Broken Scale

Unlike Raelan who burst into laughter, Eunice who was lost in thought with a bewildered face, and Bella who nodded as if she understood, Estelle, who was the only one here looking at me with a blank gaze, tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“But the Demon King hates humans so much, right?”

“Perhaps, what is certain is that the Demon King wants to destroy the human world.”

Although the setting that he hated humans was not added, there was a setting that the reason the Demon King joined hands with the church and descended on the human world was to destroy the human world.

The discarded setting was simply that she was a ‘woman’ with a Rosaline-level body, but there was no detailed setting, so she must have had the existing setting of the Demon Lord.

The only thing that changed for the Demon King was his appearance, but that was actually okay. But Estelle was still puzzled, so she slightly opened her mouth and asked.

“How are you going to get such a demon lord to join Roel’s harem? “As soon as they meet you, they will tell you that you are a human and will turn on the lights and try to kill you.”

Of course, I don’t think it would be possible to make the Demon King a heroine just because Roel has outstanding looks. However, Roel was the only human capable of having a serious conversation with the Demon King.

“Roel has a setting that makes it easy for anyone to make a good first impression and be liked.”

Munchkin Roel’s setting of human relationships will definitely be effective for the Demon King as well. As if she finally understood, Estelle nodded and put on her cat mask.

Raelan, who stopped mad, turned to me with a happy smile on his face and spoke to everyone.

“If you are a lord who can read the flow of probability, the devil will no longer have to worry. “We just need to focus on Roel first, like my lord said.”

I nodded and continued what Raelan was saying.

“Now then, let’s all divide up our roles. Estelle, please use Modest’s information power to provide us with the support we need. “Please keep an eye on me so that I don’t get caught by Roel and just know my location.”

Estelle, who caught my gaze, nodded vigorously.

“Leave it to me. “I will show you the power of the Modest.”

I nodded and turned my attention to the agents.

“The rest… From now on, we will create a kill zone for Lily to kill. “For the next year, I will work as a lily without compromising probability to reduce the number of believers in the church and followers of the Demon Lord.”

Bella asked with sharp eyes next to Eunice, who nodded with a serious face.

“Are you okay? Killing someone is more unpleasant than you might imagine. “With a normal mindset, at some point you will collapse so quickly that you can’t control it.”

Eunice nodded as if agreeing with Bella’s words and looked at me with worried eyes.

I realized that I would have to change as drastically as Roel, who was already aiming for blind salvation.

To prove my resolve, I opened the space storage room, took out a box that had been left in the corner, and placed it on the table. Bella muttered, her eyes shining as she recognized what the box was.

“This is… .”

“This is the research material on stone thorn disease left behind by the teacher.”

After the cure for Stonethorn Disease was completed, I received Rotten’s research materials back from Rosalyn. In the past, when Bella was distributing a cure for Stonethorn disease throughout the continent at my request, she suggested that I use the effect to turn the Stonethorn disease into a weapon of mass destruction.

At that time, I had rejected Bella’s offer. Part of it was because he couldn’t trust Bella, and he thought it was an act that tarnished the will of the dead Rotten. But now, I was only able to rise to the same level as Roel by giving up my humanity for the sake of my goal.

So even if this action is a betrayal of the dead teacher… I could freely use anything for the sake of the world in which my precious people lived.

I spoke in a low voice as I pushed the box towards Bella.

“This is enough for you to know what kind of determination I have made.”

In response to my question, Bella nodded slightly with a cool smile. Unlike Bella, who seemed satisfied, Eunice, who did not know the details of the situation, scratched her cheek and asked me.

“I understand your intention in creating a death report. Because I agree with killing a crazy person like the Sixth Prince. But what do you do in this situation? What if a person betrays a few years later, or a person who has not yet committed a crime? “Should we also put people’s names on the killing list if they have the potential to attract us to our side?”

Unlike Bella and Raelan, who had no hesitation in using people as chess pieces, Eunice was still only a young student.

Just as his fate changed and he became a colleague of mine after a few years when he was supposed to become a member of the religious order, I am wondering whether I should put someone who still has the potential to be appeased on the killing squad.

I thought for a moment and answered.

“… Put it on the kill list.”

At that answer, Eunice’s eyes sank coldly.

“Even in a situation like mine?”

“Yes, they are supporting characters who will not affect the probability even if they die anyway. Even if we spend time cajoling, it won’t be of much help to us. In that case, it would be better in terms of efficiency to minimize wasting time.”

“… Yes, that’s right. “It’s efficiency.”

Eunice’s voice as she answered was harsh. He knew what answer Eunice wanted, but he didn’t want to give it a lie. If I became active as Lily, I was planning to kill all my family members, even if they were innocent.

Lily is not a hero. He is just a monster who feeds on other people’s fears.

I spoke clearly to everyone in a firm voice.

“If killing 100 innocent people helps convince Roel, I won’t hesitate.”

Raelan smiled in satisfaction at those words.

“In order to deal with a utilitarian warrior, you must become a utilitarian yourself.”

No, that’s wrong. I am not a utilitarian like Roel. I’m not moving for everyone’s happiness. It’s just an action to protect the people who are precious to me. There is no way I could be a utilitarian if I could kill 1,000 people for the one person I know.

Without saying it out loud, I brought up something else to change the subject.

“Tomorrow I will leave the capital for a while. “I plan to give Kane a chance to grow.”

Eunice’s eyes lit up sharply at those words.

“Do you plan to use the Messiah Club as a chess piece?”

“No, that’s not it. “The Messiah Club has nothing to do with our plans.”

Eunice laughed at my answer.

“You say you will kill 100 innocent people for profit, but you won’t take advantage of the Messiah members you raised through talent? Don’t you think it’s contradictory? “I think it’s better for everyone to use it as efficiently as you said.”

A faint sigh escaped my lips as Eunice’s tone became aggressive towards me during the conversation a while ago.

I know it’s a contradiction. I fully understand that my actions are reprehensible. So what? What are you asking me to do? I am this kind of person.

The words that welled up from deep inside my heart flowed out of my mouth at will.

There was silence in the living room after Ross left. As he was each organizing his thoughts in his head, Raelan suddenly spoke.

“Does everyone realize this now?”

Everyone’s eyes focused on Raelan. Raelan said, massaging the back of his neck with a relaxed hand.

“It’s not just Roel and the church that we need to care about.”

Raelan’s words reminded everyone of the conversation from earlier. In a voice without any expression or emotion.

“Without my members, this world has no meaning to me.”

Ross gave an answer that gave them the creeps.

Everyone gathered here realized this. The reason why Ross thinks the world in his novel is real is simply because a special connection exists in this world.

Raelan said in a low voice.

“In the end, Ross is also an external entity that we need to care about. “The reason Ross wants to protect this world is for the happiness of the Messiah members, and there is no other grand reason.”

“For Ross to fight for this world, we must protect the Messiah members as much as possible. If a member dies or Luna is lost… “The creator’s instinct will gradually awaken.”

Eunice swallowed her saliva at Bella’s words.

“Because the Creator is the purest evil.”

Estelle, who was fiddling with her mask, asked in an irritated voice.

“So what do you plan to do now? Are you sure you’re going to betray Ross? Then I will never interfere. “Ross and I share a common destiny.”

“How could you betray your last hope? We must make this copy of our master and creator give this world greater meaning than it already has. “Then I will fight harder to save this world.”

Bella and Eunice nodded at the same time in response to Raelan. Eunice said with a smile.

“I guess everyone came up with a good idea?”

“Because the answer is obvious.”

After saying that, Bella continued with her golden eyes shining.

“There is one person who is the reason why Ross was able to endure all this time and became the driving force to overcome the ordeal, right?”

Raelan said, leaning back in his chair.

“Hehe, maybe we should help our lord a little so that he can dream of a happy future.”

Estelle, who was the only one who didn’t understand, tilted her head.

“Well, well… So how do you do it? “Please explain properly!”

Everyone opened their mouths at the same time.

“You’re secretly helping Ross propose to Luna! To overcome destruction and instill in Luna the goal of living happily ever after!”

“Of course, it helps the relationship between Luna and Ross become deeper. So much so that I can’t give up on this world. Ha, I can’t even think of this… “Are your thoughts as short as your height?”

“It’s simple. “After secretly adding a powerful stimulant to their food, they were cornered in one room.”

All the women in the parlor glared at Raelan with disdain. Raelan, who immediately caught her gaze, just shrugged her shoulders.

“Because using children as hostages is the basis of intimidation. “Work harder to save the world for your future child. Wouldn’t this be more certain?”

No one answered Raelan’s question.
