The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated

49 – Hero’s Party Members (5)

‘Why did it become like this…’

This situation was clearly very embarrassing to the party members.

Obviously, they came to the Kingdom of Artes to find a hero, and met the queen.

Because I have now been given such a ridiculous task as cleaning the stables.

No, cleaning the stables for the warrior party members…

No matter how they thought about it, the work the princess entrusted to them was the work of mere slaves or the lowest level of handymen.

It was absolutely not something a warrior party could do.

Because of this, the party members could not come forward to find out. I was just waiting for this situation to happen.

“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to do it.”

Princess Lia smiled and spoke to the party members.

She looked like she wasn’t sorry at all.

She said it as if she didn’t mind just leaving like this.

I can’t refuse anyway…

She knew. That the party members won’t be able to refuse.

“… I will do it.”

And the prediction was not wrong.

Although they hesitated, they eventually agreed to clean the stables.

As Lia predicted, it was an inevitable choice for them.

The party members had a lot to regret in this situation.

This is information about how you obtained the hero, but if you do not obtain other information here, the chances of meeting the hero will drop drastically.

I had to somehow obtain the following information from the princess.

Given their position as they had to meet the hero, there was no way they could refuse.

‘It’s definitely a way to prove trust, right…?’

Of course, the party members did not doubt the princess’s true intentions in making them do this.

Could it be that the princess hates us?

Isn’t she intentionally being mean to them now? She even thought about it.

No matter how trustworthy it may be, cleaning the stables is an act that has quite crossed the line.

I also felt strongly that it was an action to tease them.

‘Ugh… I still have to do it.’

But, it was just a thought.

Even so, he had to do what the princess told him to do.

“Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you. I’ll just leave.”

“Please follow me.”

The princess left to do her work again, and the party members followed the guard’s guidance and went to the stables.

“Ugh… The smell…”

When we arrived at the stable, there was a disgusting smell.

Because it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, it was full of horse waste and bugs.

Looking at the stable like this, the party members frowned.

How did I end up doing this?

When I first joined the warrior party, I thought that only a happy future would emerge…

I couldn’t help but sigh at this situation.

“Let’s just hold on for now.”

But what can we do?

They began to move their hands slowly.

Once you finish cleaning the stable, you will be able to find the warrior.

Then, a happy future will once again be within their grasp.

With only that expectation in mind, they started cleaning the dirty stable.

I went to the Demon King’s Castle to see the Demon King.

And I went into the Demon King’s Castle to meet the Demon King, but I could not meet the Demon King.

I heard that the Demon King rarely vacates his castle, but I think he may have started an invasion of the Empire.

Well… It wasn’t my part-time job, so I left the Demon King’s Castle, promising the next time.

And I headed to the Magic Tower with Ellinia.

Maybe it took about an hour or two hours? It wasn’t long before we arrived at the Magic Tower.

‘It’s a really useful ability…’

Is this already our third time seeing Ellinia’s abilities?

Ellinia’s ability is an ability that nymphs generally have, and she was able to travel across physical distances using the forest.

With that ability, I am now able to travel a distance that would have taken over 6 months in one go.

Looking at it again, I couldn’t help but think it was a very useful ability. It was to the point where I couldn’t help but feel admiration.

‘Contrary to what it seems… Ellinia may be a genius.’

However, it is said that originally, this ability of nymphs was not a very useful ability.

Not all nymphs utilized this ability as well as Ellinia.

If all nymphs knew how to use these abilities, nymphs would have been the strongest race.

And there was no way I, a warrior, would not recruit that race as a party member.

Of course, there are individual differences in this ability, and Ellinia was quite special. That’s huge too.

Other nymphs may not be able to find their way quickly, and the path they find may not be the most efficient one, but Ellinia had a natural talent in that respect.

“Hero, what are you staring at so intently?”

“I thought it was even more amazing than it looked.”

“That’s a compliment, right? hehehe.”

Of course, Ellinia herself doesn’t seem to be aware of it at all.

Ellinia, who didn’t know how great she was, just smiled brightly and was just happy to be praised.

‘It’s 100 times better than the party members…’

I felt very sad seeing Ellinia like that.

Naturally, I couldn’t help but compare Ellinia with the party members of her former warrior party. What would it have been like if I had met Ellinia first, instead of the former party members, during my time as a warrior? I thought:

If that had been the case, I don’t know about anything else, but at least I wouldn’t have been this annoyed about living the life of a warrior.

I won’t have to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings alone, I won’t have to go to the Demon King’s Castle alone, Ellinia will do all the chores for the warrior party and act as an atmosphere maker, and above all, she won’t betray me.

I wouldn’t have had to go through any of the hardships I went through when I was a warrior…

It was obvious that even if a truckload of useless warrior party members were brought in, they would be less useful than one Ellinia.

It is a moment when I feel sad about the true fate.

Why didn’t this kid show up sooner?

“Let’s quickly go into the magic tower.”

“Yes…!”

I sighed and entered the magic tower.

Well, what’s the point of thinking about things that have already happened?

Now was the time for me to achieve the purpose of coming to the Magic Tower.

Me and Ellinia entered the Magic Tower. And after going through a separate entrance process, I went straight into the Magic Tower’s library.

This library, where countless magic books are piled up, was the purpose of my coming to the Magic Tower.

‘Is it really possible to find information on how to make a holy sword here?’

I was planning to find a way to obtain the Holy Sword here.

It is said that in the past, the Holy Sword was stolen by someone.

The whereabouts of the holy sword could not be found, and the history of the empire was that the warrior had to fight without the holy sword.

Well… Even thinking about it again, losing the holy sword makes me admire the empire’s stature once again.

But even if I lost it, I thought it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t have the holy sword.

Because I was strong enough even without the Holy Sword, I thought I could defeat the Demon Lord even without the Holy Sword.

But now, I think it’s right to save it somehow if we can.

Because the Demon Lord was much stronger than I imagined… She probably became even stronger than then.

So, I also needed to become stronger than I was then.

So, I started looking through the library of the Magic Tower and looking for the Holy Sword.

About the Holy Sword and possibly a way to make it.

‘Hmm… Isn’t there as expected?’

But in the end, I was in vain.

I’ve searched here for several hours, but it seems that there is no information about the Holy Sword in the Magic Tower’s library.

I thought there must be a library with numerous books on magic, but it seems that the Magic Tower does not treat the Holy Sword as ‘magic’.

It was difficult to find the saint of the holy sword. Unless the Magic Tower treats the Holy Sword as magic, I won’t be able to get the information I want even if I stay here any longer…

Now that things are like this, should I at least go to the Alchemy Society?

I put my regrets behind me and gained strength.

It’s not here, but you’ll definitely be able to find a way to obtain the Holy Sword somewhere.

I was looking forward to that time, and it was time to leave the magic tower.

“Ellinia. Let’s go back.”

“Ah…! Hero. Just look at this.”

“What’s wrong?”

Ellinia had already piled up her magic books and was looking at them intently.

I guess you’re secretly interested in magic?

Up until this point, I didn’t think it was a big deal.

I should just wait until I read a suitable book and then go. What…

That was exactly what I was thinking.

But, I couldn’t help but be surprised to see one of the books posted by Ellinia.

“Huh? Wait a minute.”

The title of the book was as follows.

It was [Dimension Shift: A study on magic to go to another world].

At first, when I read this book, I didn’t think much of anything.

I had the feeling that it was just a book about magic.

“Crazy. Has there ever been something like this?”

But if you think about it carefully, isn’t this some great magic?

No…? You can move between dimensions…?

It was clear that it was definitely not a simple magic.

Being able to move between dimensions must be a very difficult magic.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this was the magic I really needed.

“Maybe this…? Isn’t it possible to return to the original world?”

At that moment, I felt like a spark passed through my head.

If I do well, I might be able to return to my home planet, Earth.
