The Fake Hero Is Too Strong

life and death – 2

The offense was more surprising than Serrain’s parents.

“uh? what are you talking about?”

“I heard that my real parents couldn’t call me son. to the end.”

“By the way?”

“Then what? Then, if you die, you may have no regrets, so please call me son even here.”

“Oh, no. Aren’t these people my parents?”

Serena then bowed her head.

She murmured as her ears grew red.

“You can’t be a biological parent, but at least you can become a mother-in-law.”

“… … .”

“madam. Can’t you understand what I’m talking about? Let’s get married!”

Offense didn’t respond to the shock for a while.

After a while, he said something.

But he himself couldn’t remember what he said.

However, it could be inferred from Serene’s reaction.

“Aww!!”

“… … .”

“Hmmm. no. It’s not something I’m really happy about.”

“… … .”

“for a moment. This is not the time. I’ll brag a little to that Zenia-san. Where are you lying around?”

Serena disappeared in a flash.

Offense muttered as he looked at the back of his face.

“Happiness remains for me.”

A soft smile crept onto his lips.

Richell was preparing a dish for the lab people today as well.

Bion came in while tasting the moderately seasoned soup.

She said with a groaning expression on her face.

“Mr. Richel. I have one good news and one bad news.”

“yes?”

“… … Which side would you like to hear from?”

“Uh, um.”

After spending about 10 years with Bion, Lissel became very close with her.

To the extent that they joke around and make fun of them like their own sisters.

So it felt like it had been a long time since I had seen the atmosphere so seriously.

She answered cautiously.

“From the good news.”

“I found a way to turn Mr. Rissel into a human.”

“yes? Me, really? How to say thank you… … .”

“Do not. Hearing even the bad news can make you feel less grateful.”

“… … ? What’s the bad news?”

Bion put his hand on his chest and took a deep breath.

“Mr. Rissel must be reborn into the world.”

rattle.

Russell dropped the spoon involuntarily.

“Can you explain in detail?”

“Right now, the law of the world recognizes Mr. Rissel as an anti-spirit. In other words, half of Mr. Rissel is nature itself.”

Bion calmly continued his explanation.

“If you want to deceive the system, I think you will have no choice but to throw away the body of the anti-spirit and be reborn as a whole human soul.”

“… … .”

“If you add a rule as cool as Maid did, this kind of troublesome thing will be solved without the need… … .”

“I can’t. Adding a rule is only possible by killing the Demon Lord, and there are no more Demon Lords.”

Bion nodded.

Richel opened her mouth with a slightly sad expression.

“If I were to be reborn as a human in the world, would I lose all my memories?”

“… … Memories to be lost will be taught by Maid or others. Of course, I can tell you.”

“But that must be the memory of hearing from others. It’s not something you know from experience.”

“… … .”

“As a member of the hero’s party, my memories of being with everyone will feel like listening to a fairy tale.”

Bion bows his head.

Richel thought for a moment and continued.

“Mr Bion. Do you know why I want to go back to being human?”

“… … .”

“Because I don’t want to be left alone.”

“yes?”

“Even if I lose my memory, I can somehow handle it. But when I was born into this world as a baby, the age difference between me and the other party members was too big. It must be a lot different than the old Ardwin.”

Bion took a breath.

I was only concerned about the memory part, but I never thought much about it.

Russell continued.

“As everyone is now in their mid-to-late 30s… … If I were to be born as a baby into the world today, they would have lived 30 to 40 years longer than me. I don’t know how long each of us will live as human beings, but if we think about it normally, everyone will die 30 to 40 years before me. Ardwin is going to go 20 years earlier.”

“… … .”

“I hate that.”

Richell had already experienced it.

The experience of being left alone.

He didn’t age, but Grade grew older day by day.

“Of course, as a human being, unlike 1,500 years ago, I will age after them. But anyway, as time goes by, being left alone in the world will not change.”

“Yeah, it must be 30 or 40 years. In the meantime, you can make other connections in the world… … .”

“For Mr. Bion, who has been in the research lab for a long time, it may feel like a fleeting moment, but I still have a human-centered conception of time. Even at 1,500 years old, most of them were asleep.”

Bion had to nod his head.

“Then what are you going to do now?”

“Please allow me to go to the underworld right here. At the end of the life of the other party members.”

“yes?”

“Actually, that’s the real reason I wanted to be a human. I don’t want to be alone anymore.”

“Ha, but… … .”

A face of rejection.

But Lissel didn’t waver.

She looked straight at Bion and opened her mouth.

“Actually, Bion-san had the same idea, didn’t he?”

“… … !”

Bion took a breath involuntarily.

As Maid sometimes said, although Lissel was usually fierce, there were times when he became very sharp.

It seems that it hasn’t changed since the days of the lab.

“I know that the handover to Mr. Trail has already been completed. What were you going to do now? Did you intend to give back your body and be reborn into the world?”

“… … .”

“No? Bion must have thought of going straight to the underworld from here. Just in time for the end of the lives of others.”

Bion remained silent for a long time.

Soon she nodded lightly.

Lissel smiles softly.

And he said playfully to lighten the mood.

“You must suffer a little more.”

“Whew. Are you saying that the direction of the research was wrong from the beginning?”

“really sorry. I should have stated my wishes more clearly.”

“no. It’s not that I don’t understand what you mean. When all of you went down to the world and I was left alone in the laboratory, I cried several times a day and I was lonely.”

Lissel gently patted Bion on the back.

Bion said with a soft expression as if he had regained his energy soon.

“It might take a little while. This study.”

“You just have to do it until the other party members die.”

“It’s a burden… … .”

“Huhu. Then, as an apology for the burden.”

Lissel pointed to the soup.

“I will serve you a delicious meal. As always.”

“Well, if it’s Mr. Rissel’s cooking, it’s a good reward. Shall we call others now?”

“yes. The soup is cold.”

That’s how the conversation ended that day.

Bion’s research continued in a different direction.

And one day, years later.

Her research was successful.

Me and Neryl have reached the bosom of the world.

I’ve already been to this place hundreds of times, but every time I come, it feels like a mysterious place.

After waiting for a while, the other party members also appear one by one.

Their faces bear the traces of the years.

Bion and Trail, the owners of this place, greeted us.

First, the trail was lucky.

“Come here.”

“What about Idria?”

“It seems that he deliberately avoided the seat. I’ll show you my face later.”

Then Xenia opened her mouth.

“By the way, I feel it every time I see you, but why is Mr. Neril’s face so unchanging?”

“It’s me, I’ve been the same since the days of the Wicked Witch. Thanks to the energy I absorbed. I envy you?”

“Okay, not really.”

“If you want, I can teach you the secrets too. How many times must I have made this offer?”

Xenia shrugs.

“Honestly, I thought about it a lot, but I just want to grow old with the passage of time.”

Then Ardwin intervened.

“okay. And in the first place, time cannot obscure your beauty.”

“Did I tell you not to speak like that in front of people?”

“I’m paying attention too, but every time I see your face, I forget.”

“Ah-oh.”

When I first heard that Xenia and Ardwin became lovers, I was quite surprised.

While we were all buried in a pile of papers together, we went through a lot of hardships, and friendships were built up or something.

Bion nodded and said as if he knew what I was thinking.

“Even when I was a researcher, Xenia controlled Mr. Ardwin, who wandered around freely. After seeing the precedents of Maid and Neryl, and Serrain and Offense, I thought they would be similar.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“It will be interesting to find out later.”

Then, Serena changed the topic.

“By the way, Mr. Neryl. Are the kids growing up well?”

“The first is that the Guardian Knights are winning and winning. The second is learning magic from me, and the third is having a girlfriend for the first time. The fourth and fifth are running around with the local kids.”

“How many times have I told you, how five… … .”

“The only thing we have left is time, so we took care of each other a lot. Unlike you guys, who get buried in their business every day.”

Then Offense said.

“Serine. Maybe you haven’t given up yet?”

“no. My child will be lonely because he has no siblings.”

“In addition to that, there must be a reason why I want more than Zenia. There was a strange sense of competition from time to time.”

Serena nodded sharply.

“Isn’t that so?”

“Think of our age. That’s why you didn’t listen when I asked you to have a second child. At that time, they said no because it was the time to expand the business.”

“How old are we? What’s wrong with my age!”

“It’s kind of like looking at old neryl.”

In that way, we cleared the loop for a long time.

But as we talk, he frowns on my face for some reason.

A look of concern for something.

I said with a smirk.

“Why are you like that? I am fine now.”

“Mr. Maid.”

“It has already been a month since my mother passed away.”

Yes.

My mother passed away last month.

He died at the end of his life, not as a result of an illness or an accident.

The mother closed her eyes as if asleep.

When I checked the condition the next morning, Neryl was crying so loudly that I didn’t even have time to mourn.

“I don’t know if you are doing well with your father in the underworld.”

“… … .”

“Because I’m really fine. Open your faces.”

Everyone smiles little by little and says.

“Ugh. Well, I said that at my mother’s funeral… … Some of the faces I knew for sure passed away one by one.”

“Ophelia’s father also passed away a few years ago. My father has also recently been unable to move.”

“The Emperor left a long time ago. It seems like yesterday that Xenia said that the new emperor would be nice to hear.”

“My parents have also been very ill lately. How about Serene’s parents?”

“… … I don’t think it will last long. I also stopped writing a reflection letter five years ago.”

Then, Lissel opened her mouth.

“When will you die?”

“… … .”

“oh! I don’t mean to gossip. Bion and I have to prepare accordingly.”

“I said you and Bion were going to the underworld right here.”

It was dried a few times back then.

I was just born as a human and told him to come and enjoy the world, but he never listened.

Anyway, I asked Bion.

“Can’t we find out the rest of our lives?”

“there is. If you wish… … .”

“Um, no. It did too.”

“Fufu. Yes. I thought you would say that.”

Then Neryl made an unexpected statement.

“I can tell.”

“What? how?”

“It is a measure of how much energy is left in my body. My energy has decreased at the same rate for over 200 years, so I thought I would still have a long way to go, but it suddenly started to decrease rapidly two months ago.”

“Hey, how fast? How long?”

“It is a secret. I don’t want to bother you by telling me how much is left. I’ll tell you when the time comes when I need to sort out my past life.”

I was perplexed by her words.

Neryl sighed lightly and took my hand and opened her mouth.

“But don’t worry, it’s still a long way off.”

That moment.

My name was written in the pigtails above Neryl’s head.

would be a lie I mean.

‘It’s been a while. Than you think.’

suddenly my heart is pounding

I want to see the secret of Neril through the eyes of the omniscient.

I want to find out how many days she has left.

But then Neryl will be really angry.

I said holding my hand tighter.

“First, go to the underworld and wait.”

“Aren’t you going to die today or tomorrow?”

“I’m just saying. Likewise, if I go first, they will be waiting.”

“Huhu. You’re talking plainly.”

She turned to everyone and continued.

“We should all meet again there.”

The party members of the former warrior party nodded their heads one by one.
