42 – I’ll be back

Again, a story from the past.

Chang-ho goes into the locker room to change clothes after the national team training is over.

He groaned as he kneaded his limbs, which were aching from muscle pain.

“Keuk… Did I work too hard today…”

I need to put some paste on, muttering, as I opened the door to the locker room.

ㅡ Kiki profit…

“Looks like everyone is gone…”

It was late, so the locker room was empty without a single person.

Looking at the room, which somehow felt empty, Chang-ho let out a light sigh.

“Huh… I need to change quickly and go to dinner~”

Chang-ho, humming “Evening~ Evening~”, headed towards her locker.

It was then.

“Sniff… black…”

“……?”

A sudden cry came from the corner of the locker room.

Hearing that cry, Chang-ho felt his heart grow cold.

‘Boo, I’m sure no one was there…?’

He wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he held his breath and listened.

“Huh… heh… ugh…”

“……!”

Chang-ho realized that the crying he heard was real.

Cold sweat began to run down his back.

He hurriedly pulled out the shinobi from his bag and gripped it tightly.

Then, he aimed towards the source of the crying.

‘Crazy… This is the beginning of a horror movie…’

A person who felt strange at the faint cry heard in the dark,

The cliché of going to check the sound and then disappearing the next day.

“Huh… Black…”

“Oh… Lord…”

Chang-ho, who is looking for the Lord he did not normally believe in, draws a cross inside.

He tightened his grip on the bamboo sword in both hands and crept towards the corner of the locker room where the cries could be heard.

“Namu Amitabha… Hallelujah…”

Chang-ho took a deep breath while muttering a prayer that crossed Buddhism and Christianity.

Then he opened his eyes wide and exposed himself towards the corner.

“Who are you!!!”

Loud screaming windows.

However, what returned to the cry from the window was the thin boy’s voice.

“uuu…?”

“what…?”

Hearing that voice, which was somewhere familiar, Changho frowned and gazed into the corner properly.

There, a slender boy was squatting with his back against the wall.

“Naru…?”

After recognizing who the boy was, Chang-ho absentmindedly called out his name.

Then Naru tilted her head as if asking why.

“……?”

“Haah …. It’s really … Really …”

Changho let out a sigh of relief and put down the bamboo sword.

Calming her beating heart, she approached Naru.

“What are you doing here at this hour?”

“……”

Naruto didn’t answer.

Changho stood in front of Naru and gently stroked her hair.

“I heard crying… what happened…?”

ㅡDori Dori

Naru shook her head.

“Then why…”

ㅡ flutter

Naru waved her arms and showed what she was holding in her hand.

“What… um? I lent you?”

What was in Naru’s hand was a book.

To be precise, the book [The Hero Loved by Everyone: Volume 6].

Naru pointed at the book intently and moved her hand.

Chang-ho asked, a little taken aback by Naru’s appearance.

“So… I was reading the book, and I was crying because the contents were so sad?”

ㅡ nod

Naru nodded vigorously.

Then, he opened the middle of the book he was holding and pointed to one part.

Chang-ho looked at the part Naru pointed out, and then nodded as if he understood.

“Ah, did you see this part?”

The part Naru pointed out was the scene where the character ‘Violet’, the mid-boss of Volume 6, dies.

“uuu…”

“mmmm. Yeah, this part was a little sad…”

“Sniff…”

Naru cried once more and made a snoring sound.

Chang-ho wiped away his tears with a dejected smile, as if he couldn’t stop him.

“Ego… You’ve fallen in love with that book…”

ㅡ Nodding…

When Naru timidly nodded, Chang-ho tangled Naru’s hair and asked.

“Did you have a dinner?”

ㅡDori Dori

“Let’s go eat together, we’re going to eat chicken today.”

ㅡNodding!

Naru’s eyes light up at the word chicken.

Changho smiled at him and held out his hand.

“Shall we go?”

ㅡNodding!

Naru took his hand and left the locker room.

I’ll say it again, but they were a really friendly older brother and younger brother.

.

.

ㅡ rattling

I was staring out the window in a daze in the academy wagon that was shaking noisily.

The thoughts in my head were drawn and erased repeatedly.

I felt a slight headache from the complicated tangled thoughts.

“ha……”

Looking out the window at the scenery passing by behind me, I let out a light sigh.

The thought that comes to my head is one girl.

While reading the original work, which consisted of a total of 10 volumes, I thought about the character I liked the most.

‘Violet……’

Violet.

The mid-boss of [The Hero Loved by Everyone: Volume 6].

purple monster.

why did i forget her?

If the world I possess is the worldview of the [hero loved by everyone], then of course it must be a world where she also exists.

‘Did I live too crazy…’

Well, there were a lot of incidents after I possessed it…

I’m a little better these days.

“Hmm……”

I took a deep breath and picked up some of the thoughts floating around in my head.

Then, looking closely at them, I fell into trouble.

About a year later, Violet awakens as a villain.

How should I act?

Best way is to get rid of her before she turns into a villain.

With the position of being the eldest son of a ducal family and a little bit of family power,

Only a nameless commoner could erase them from the world without the knowledge of mice or birds.

‘But… I don’t want to…’

I’m a whiner

A person who has read the original work, [The Hero Loved by Everyone].

That’s why the character Violet goes through some misfortune,

Someone who knows how it got messed up.

As someone who wept over her story,

As someone who loved her story,

As someone who has lived a life similar to hers,

I had a heart that I did not want her story to reach a tragedy.

‘Then… I…’

……

…I do not know.

Even if you help me, I don’t know how to help you

It’s a little funny to help someone when I can’t even take care of myself right now…

‘First, let’s observe the situation for a bit…’

That said, there is still one year left.

During school trips… Well, wouldn’t it be fine to just be close enough?

Shaking off the thoughts in my hands, I looked out the window again.

.

.

.

The time when Raiden was thinking like that.

Maharet got off the carriage and was walking toward Hall 2, where the lecture was being held.

“……”

She stomped around, staring blankly at the sky.

His gaze was directed toward the shining blue sky, but his mind was elsewhere.

“ha……”

Maharet sighed and wiped his face.

As she sighed, Maharet corrected her faltering gait.

“It’s not like me, I got angry…”

In her head, what had just happened at the bus stop was playing over and over again.

At the feeling of sinking down, Maharet slightly furrowed her eyebrows.

The soft, silvery eyebrows frowned seductively.

She was so beautiful that even her frown was beautiful.

She murmured in a low groan.

“Ugh… why couldn’t I stand it… I just want to get over it…”

Why?

—-……It’s like a group organization.

It was just one word from him.

Why was he so excited?

“I’m a person who doesn’t care anymore…”

Maharet gave a bitter smile.

That smile was somehow sad.

Wiping the smile from her lips, she sank into her thoughts again.

When she pushed Raiden, the emotions that disturbed her heart.

What was that feeling?

“……”

Anger, sadness, contempt, irritation and…

……weak lingering.

It’s a mix of all those emotions…

Disappointment.

yeah, it was a disappointment.

“…Disappointed, so…”

What was she missing from him?

Haven’t you already let go of everything about him?

“……”

It was a fragment of her heart that was buried deep in her heart.

Read at noblemtl. com

Just in case, a little mind that I was thinking about.

The terrible words he said to himself,

In fact, a piece of heart steeped in ideals that I wish was not sincere.

“Whoops… that didn’t make any sense…”

Maharet gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Yeah, that was a stupid idea.

It was something I should have thrown away a long time ago…

Once again, I was swayed by emotions and almost got hurt.

“Today I’m convinced…”

Maharet quietly clenched his fists as if he had promised.

“Raiden, I will never forgive you.”

—-Even if you are different from before,

“The fact that you hurt me doesn’t change.”

Maharet muttered that, and moved on again.

.

.

.

So, a little bit of time passed and it became the day to go on a school trip.

“Bocchan, did you bring your toothbrush?”

As I was getting ready to go out with my big bag on,

Rachel, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen, came out to meet me and asked.

I nodded and answered the question.

“I got it earlier.”

“Then what is this?”

“Well?”

Rachel thrusting something right in front of my eyes.

In her hand was a white toothbrush with the Lisitt family crest engraved on it.

what…?

That’s my toothbrush…?

“Huh? Boo, I sure took care of it…”

“Ugh… I knew you would.”

“Ha ha ha… Thanks Rachel…”

I knew it would be like this~, Rachel puts a toothbrush in her bag with the same expression.

She closed the bag and patted it.

“It’s because of this~ I’m worried that the young master will be doing well during the 5 days without me~”

“……I know…”

At that playful remark, I felt a sinking feeling.

For 5 days, by myself.

No Rachel, no Ariel…

Will I be able to get along well during that time…?

“young master…?”

After feeling helpless and keeping my mouth shut for a while, Rachel called me with a worried voice.

“Are you okay…?”

“……”

I was silent for a moment, then opened my mouth.

“Rachel…”

“Yes, Bocchan.”

“…Can I do well? During the five days without you.”

I ask in a slightly trembling voice.

Rachel stared at my face like that, and then replied with a wide smile.

“Of course, who raised it?”

The answer seems to be why you ask something obvious.

Along with him, brown eyes staring into my eyes.

At that gentle glance, I felt my heart pounding slightly.

My face flushed for some reason, and I had to turn my head.

“What are you saying… He’s the same age as me…”

“Whoops… I completely raised him!”

“It’s not quite like that.”

“That’s right~”

As I exchanged light conversations with Rachel, my anxious mind was washed away a little.

I squeezed the straps of my backpack and put on my shoes.

“Then… I’ll be back.”

“Yes! Be careful!”

Encouraged by Rachel, who greeted me brightly, I opened the front door.

Then, lightly, stepping on the ground, I moved forward.

The sky is light blue with a few clouds,

Every once in a while the sunlight streamed through the clouds, stinging my eyes.

I raised my hand to block the sunlight and smiled lightly.

It was the beginning of a school trip.
