The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 503



504 – Side story – To you waiting at the ending (6)

While Luna and I looked at each other and exchanged stupid looks, the Demon King spoke as if he was impressed.

“No, it’s rather surprising, isn’t it? I didn’t even know I was starting over, but I made a choice that would lead to never-ending pain. After all, is this the last loss?”

No, I just didn’t know. I wasn’t desperate, but I just thought it was best to leave the world where Luna lives with the God of Chaos. I never said those thoughts out loud. As expected, the devil interpreted my silence in his own way.

“Well, he didn’t reach the realm of transcendence to revive Luna, but he challenged the labyrinth. It’s quite possible that he chose death so that his beloved Luna could continue to live.”

“… .”

I became even more silent as Luna, who was next to me, held onto my arm with an expression on her face that was touched by the Demon King’s words. Well, you should have a character like this as your friend. It is a role that subtly elevates the protagonist.

Silence is the best option when the odds are against me, but I couldn’t help but let my chronic illness of curiosity rear its head. Because I had a lot of questions. So, I started with these words.

“You would have done the same if you were in the same situation as me.”

Double levitation is a speech technique that floats the opponent and also brings me to mind.

“Hehe, I see. “It might be because it’s the same Ross.”

The effect was excellent. It is visible that the Demon King’s shoulders have risen slightly. So, it’s okay to go straight to the point.

“So when did you know that once you reach the end you have to start over?”

“Of course, it was the day I received memories from you.”

“… what?”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the unexpected answer. At my reaction, the Demon King narrowed his eyes and raised one corner of his mouth anxiously.

“Did you just not know anything?”

“… .”

“I thought I knew right away when I saw your memories, right?”

I just scratched my ears in silence as I saw the Demon King just before his ascension to heaven. He even deliberately lowered his gaze to show that he had nothing to say. The Demon King came to me shakily, put his arm on my shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

“I didn’t say anything on purpose because I thought I would realize it myself later… Hehehe, well, that could be possible.”

“No, I had a lot to think about back then-”

“When playing chess, you can only see the number of people watching from the side. The two people didn’t even notice the trap that was clearly visible. “kk.”

You’re so excited. As she sighed and glanced at Luna who was next to her with her eyes asking for help, the Demon King, who was looking at me with her playful face, smiled and said.

“Just telling the truth doesn’t work and isn’t fun, so think about it. Who knew that when you reach a winning ending, you start over again.”

“… “Is there anyone other than you who knew about that?”

Without realizing it, I turned my attention to Luna who was next to me. Luna quickly shook her head as if she knew nothing. I scratched my eyebrows and turned my gaze back to the Demon King.

Let’s think about it a little. If you know that the world will begin again from the point of my possession, then on the other hand, it means that you are aware of the fact that you have been possessed and the conditions that you must win against the God of Chaos. There are not many people who meet that condition. After quickly erasing the name through elimination, I was able to name the one name that remained.

“… “Are you Raelan?”

“Correct answer!”

When the Demon King confirmed the correct answer, I felt dumbfounded. If you really already knew that Raelan was starting again, why didn’t you tell me? When I asked that, the Demon King scratched his chin and said,

“Maybe that’s why you didn’t tell me? If there is a way to escape, people unconsciously look back to see if the way is still safe. Raelan must have hidden information on purpose to trick you into attacking Bae Su-jin. “Your personality is a bit shit, right?”

While I was nodding my head in agreement with the Demon King’s words, I turned my head to Luna’s hand shaking the arm that was being held. It seems like a question arose while listening to our conversation.

“How did Raelan know that it was starting again?”

“… I know?”

When I think about it, there was a huge contradiction in my reasoning. Raelan’s name remained according to the conditions of the Erasure Act, but it was not possible to figure out that it was possible to start from scratch based on those conditions alone. However, the Demon King answered the contradictory answer with the correct answer, which means that he figured out on his own that Raelan would start again.

I frowned and shook my head, but I couldn’t come up with a good idea. Maybe it’s because she was tortured for a long time. It’s painful to think, so maybe it’s just counting positive numbers… ?

The Demon King, who was watching Luna and I biting our lips in worry, let out a sigh and shouted in frustration.

“Are you stupid? Why would Ross of Hope place his hopes on you! Because of the spirit of self-sacrifice? Then the word “hope” must have been added! Of course, if you break all the bonds, your destroyed world can start from scratch, so I placed my hope on you!”

“… ah!”

I forgot. A grateful friend who sent Danger away to protect her Luna, gave up her own world, and even made a deal with her saint. It looks like he wasn’t just helping me. He must have placed his hopes on me because he could survive only by helping me. Whatever the reason, my gratitude does not change one bit. Without Ross of Hope, it would have been impossible to break the bondage.

Then the contradiction is resolved. The memories I received also include those about Los of Hope. He noticed the truth behind Hope Ross’s actions and realized what would happen if he broke all the chains.

“In the first place, even if you are the last Los who will save all worlds, Raelan is not the type of person who would give up his life for you, right? “He knows that if he eliminates the dangerous God of Chaos who will destroy the world, he will be reset and come back to life, so he cooperated with you to eliminate an opponent from the game that he could never defeat.”

Certainly, considering Raelan’s personality, that would be correct. When everything was over, Raelan dreamed of a plan to win against the warrior Roel.

“I’m sure Bella noticed when she received your memories.”

“… “I guess so.”

If Raelan had noticed, of course Bella would have noticed too. Because the two people have something in common: they are the world’s strongest tacticians. perhaps… By killing Luna, isn’t Bella planning a huge plan in which Roel and I have no choice but to win? Unfortunately, the truth is impossible to know.

“Okay, then you’re going to go back to the world you came from, right?”

This time, he did not exchange glances with Luna, but nodded at the same time. In a world where everyone is alive… It wouldn’t be a bad idea to start over again.

“Wait a minute, so our memories are the same?”

That would also have been a problem if I had to start over with the memories of Luna and I that we had built together up until now gone.

“don’t worry. Your memories and knowledge will remain the same. It’s kind of a perk given to someone who saves the world. Oh, except for the knowledge about Fatulga’s magic book.”

I think I know why.

“Because it’s the manager’s magic?”

“That’s right, it will naturally change into knowledge about the magic of the Farel family that should have existed in the original world. It’s only natural that the possibility of administrators intervening in the world has disappeared. Still, the knowledge gained through the quantum jump will remain the same. “Because that’s a probability suitable for someone who saved the world and returned.”

I nodded and asked a question that occurred to me.

“It doesn’t mean that you can’t transfer memories, right?”

Transferring memories through a snow globe is something I learned from Ross of Longing. Since it probably wasn’t through an administrator, there shouldn’t be a problem, but I asked just in case.

The Demon King thought seriously about my question before answering.

“It’s possible, but you won’t be able to use it right away due to your lack of magic power at the beginning of possession. But my improved method may be possible.”

“Can you tell me?”

In response to my question, the Demon King wiped his face as if he was dumbfounded and shouted loudly.

“of course! You are the benefactor who saved us all! “All the Rosses of the world owe you!”

Without the slightest hesitation, the Demon King immediately used magic to deliver his improved technique to me. When I said thank you, the devil just tapped my shoulder.

“So is it time to break up now?”

I smiled bitterly at the sight of the Demon Lord looking at me and Luna alternately as if he was sad about our separation.

“You should go back too. “Isn’t it because of us that you couldn’t go back all this time?”

“That’s right, but don’t feel any pressure. “Compared to what you did, this is nothing.”

Luna expressed her sincere gratitude to the Demon King, who shrugged his shoulders. When I again thanked him sincerely, my friend, who was very shy, made an embarrassed expression, avoided eye contact, and used space magic to create a portal to return to the original world.

“Anyway, this time there is no God of Chaos, so try to make the best story possible. Oh, and… .”

The Demon King, who had been pausing with a grin, suddenly created a small snow globe and held it out to me.

“This?”

“This is the location of kimchi artisans in the north.”

“… !”

“It’s my last gift.”

I smiled broadly at my friend’s gift and held out my hand. The Demon King, holding that hand, smiled brightly and said.

“Thank you too. For giving us a chance to start anew. “I’m speaking on behalf of all Ross in the rest of the world.”

There were still many things I wanted to share and say, but I couldn’t deny that now was the perfect moment to part ways. I looked straight at my friend’s face one last time, nodded, and turned toward the portal with Luna.

“Shall we go?”

He put out his right hand and grabbed Luna’s left hand. Luna smiled her beautiful smile and answered shyly, her blue eyes shining.

“If we start again… “I’ll wait for you at the academy.”

Luna slightly lifted her tiptoes and kissed my cheek before continuing.

“Ross confesses first this time too.”

Could I refuse Luna’s low request? I am confident that it will never happen.

I nodded vigorously and answered.

“Of course, I will do it again and again.”

With those words, we walked together toward the portal to return to the original world.

“Fuck, live well!!! Have a lot of kids! Don’t be sick! Work hard and live happily!!! “Me and all of us will do the same!”

While listening to the watery cheers of my friend behind me.
