I Have Become The Heroes’ Rival - Chapter 39 – The older brother has changed

Translator: Kay

Based on the original, I already expected that the three men were the heroes.

Now that two of them were concluded as a junk car and nuclear waste, there was only one person left who could be trusted.

Amongst the three, Constantine was relatively the sanest.

However, I couldn’t meet him because he was bound to the temple.

Even during the Empire’s Foundation Day celebrations, he appeared briefly at the ceremony and disappeared, so there was no time to observe him.

I heard that even after the religious war in the Empire came to an end, civil wars were still happening everywhere, so they were busy suppressing it.

It was best to get him out of the way before he awakened.

But frankly, considering the genre of the novel, I had no expectations that he would give up.

In the original, he was busy trying to get a hold of Claudia amid his busy schedule. The paladin seemed to be high enough in ranks to be able to do so.

And you know.

‘I think Lucas, Benjamin, and Constantine have already joined hands.’

Based on our conversation with Benjamin, it seemed like they had already decided on the cost, and it was impossible to communicate with each other.

If I based it on the original novel, it was too early to make such a judgment.

But the original. Wasn’t it the story that I have been trying to destroy with all my might ever since I intervened? It was funny to think about it now.

There was no public enemy in the novel to stand against the male heroes. Even if they were, they were no match.

…… Just ruin and kill him.

‘Such a hellish personality.’

Anyway, with the male heroes, there was no dialogue or compromise to the enemy in advance. If the other party seemed like a threat, they just killed them.

I recalled when they first started to collaborate in the novel.

It was the moment when ‘Felix’, who revolved around his younger sister, became too annoying for them.

They judged that ‘Felix’, who interfered in everything related to Claudia’s relationships, wasn’t an opponent they could deal with by simply alienating or killing him.

But now, the heroine, who triggered their crazy possessiveness no matter where she ran, decided to isolate herself.

The premise of, ‘I can’t approach Claudia since she’s not coming out of her house due to Irene Amber’ seemed to have changed things.

As a result, all the men who held hands first pointed their arrows at me, not Felix.

If Felix had only heard of the hint indirectly through Benjamin, he might have been seriously attempting to learn magic resistance right now.

Since I had no talent for magic in the first place, I couldn’t do it.

‘It’s the truth.’

It’s like a madman rushing into a tornado to go against Mother Nature.

Even though I never regretted my choices, I occasionally had doubts.

‘By the way, sir. I can’t see the answer. Is the solution I’m writing down correct? I didn’t use the wrong formula, did I?’

However, there was no such thing as a teacher who could give me the answer.

If there was no visible answer, there was no choice but to prepare as much as possible.

Just as always.

First of all, I hired people who were not related to the Chamberlains and were tight-mouthed.

Then I set up a business in their name. An entity that only existed on paper.

The name of the business was ‘Getchu1‘.

It contained my strong will to help Claudia sign a contract with an independent spirit.

Anyway, I was thinking of buying Camoli Island from the authorities in Upper Mendello through the business, Getchu.

I wondered if it was necessary to do that. But I decided to take the precaution in advance to eliminate any risk of being caught by the imperial family.

It was better to be well prepared. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.

To summarize the process, I heard it roughly went like this:

“Give us the island.”

“Managing Camoli Island is an honor given to us by the imperial family. Even if it is now private land, how can you ask us to sell you the island? You are trying to insult us!”

…… However, it was too much money to refuse.

The deal was established! We successfully closed the deal with the Mendello authorities.

I imagined the transaction scene while eating ice cream. Of course, since this was a fantasy world, it may have been slightly different from the delusions in my head.

‘It was that simple?’

Thanks to their willingness to hand it over, we would be able to summon the spirits with ease, but it ended so quickly that it felt futile.

Since they prevented anyone from entering the island, I thought that they would never sell it. But sure enough, money made the world2.

‘Maybe money was their goal in the first place.’

As far as I could see, the Mendello authorities had no idea of the existence of the spirit.

Instead, they were afraid that if the news spread about the revival of nature in Camoli Island, the Empire would change their words and seize the island at the flip of their palms. If that happens, they wouldn’t be able to receive enormous support from the Empire anymore.

In other words, they couldn’t see the forest since they were busy looking at the trees.

They were not interested in why the island was suddenly purified, or what happened, so they quickly sold it off.

Therefore, the possibility of Mendello’s authorities summoning a spirit was completely eliminated. And, at the same time, the probability of an independent spirit increased.

With this, the business, Getchu, became one step closer to the value of its name.

‘It’s Chloe’s independent spirit!’

I clenched my fist while sounding like a Pokémon trainer
