I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist - Chapter 155 153
While Lukash and the others were talking about the journey ahead, I was looking at Arnold’s sleeping face.
Birds chirping. Gentle tree leaves. In such a calm time, I even got the illusion that everything I had ever done was a dream.
All of a sudden, the door behind me opens forcefully.Reflexively, I rolled my eyes at the unexpected person standing there.
“Elvira!?”
Elvira, a dark-haired girl, opened the door.
Why is she here?
With a confused head, he manages to keep his memory in his hands.Vake had asked Master Wentle earlier to call Ms. Merzedes as a helper.When Elvira got the news, she couldn’t help but worry about her brother.
The hypothesis assembled in the mind
“I was called as an escort to your brother.”
Elvira’s sober words were instantly denied.
Elvira, not Mr. Mercedes?
How about you, escort? Where’s Merzedes?
“My home village was attacked by monsters.”That’s why Mel rushed to the capital, but then Wentle called for help. ”
I can understand Elvira’s brief description.
A home village attacked by monsters.Arnold sealed some of the power of the Demon King a few hours ago, and given the time lag between the information that the Elf Village was attacked and the arrival of Mr. Merzedes in the capital city, this should not be retaliation against Arnold, who tormented the Demon King.Or rather, when Arnold was taken over by the Demon King, he was handed over.
“That’s why I’m here.”
In any case, Elvira was the only one to join the group of brave men.After all, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was her destiny to join the line of brave men.
Elvira slowly approaches the bed and peers into Arnold’s face.Then I looked back at the meal on the desk beside the bed – what Arnold had prepared for me just in case.
“Oniichan, you don’t have to eat.”It’s not sleep magic, it’s sealing magic.My body stops every hour
Her expression was like a lost child who had been left behind.
“Elvira…” she unexpectedly called her name, but without responding, she stared at her brother’s sleeping face.
Elvira stares at Arnold. I stare at her sideways.How long has it been?A modest knock echoed to cut through the heavy silence.
“Excuse me.”
It was Diona who came in.
She looked at Arnold, lying on the bed, and for a moment distorted her face, but immediately rehearsed it and suggested in a loud tone.
“With regard to Mr. Arnold, including the villages of the Elves that were attacked this time, why don’t you take yourself into the city of the people of Rustu?”Even in the unlikely event of an accident, you should be able to do the least amount of resistance. ”
The proposal was decided upon by Diona in consultation with Leannehardt and the others.
Diona looked at Elvira.Diona continued in a gentle voice as she shook her head neither vertically nor horizontally.
“The people of Rustu are on their way, informed that the Elf Village has been raided.probably around the time we were reunited with Lord Merzedes….. ”
From her mouth, I’m sure Rustu’s people are ready.I propose to the Merzedes that they join us, and I will accept them as soon as they scold me.
Where do you protect Arnold while he’s asleep?The choice was left to her sister, Elvira.
She stared down at Elvira.She took a deep breath, then slowly raised her face.
Oniichan, please.
I remembered when I first met Elvira, who lowered her head in a firm tone.
She was a stranger, and there was no more childhood girl hiding behind her brother.Of course, at my age, I was still young, but as a fine sorcerer, I could see it in my eyes.
Diona nodded with a smile.Arnold and the villagers of his hometown went to the city of the people of Rustu.I’m sure it’s the safest and the best.
When the conversation was over, Elvira stopped Diona from leaving to tell Leannehardt about Arnold again.
“Hey, Diona, take me instead of oniichan.”
With strong willed eyes, Elvira looked up at Diona.
Diona looked surprised, but I was convinced “after all”.
“If oniichan leaves, there will be fewer people who can use magic, right?”That’s why I’m following you instead of oniichan. ”
“…… you must still be young.”
“But my magic is stronger than oniichan.”Besides, the demon king has a lot to deal with, so it won’t be refreshing if you don’t hit him with one magic shot! ”
She is a direct victim of the demon king’s self-destructive disease.If this incident overlaps with Elvira, it’s just enough to say that Elvira wants to follow the heroes on their journey.
It’s impeccable as an ability. He is a genius magician and, as he says, he is just enough to be a good brother in this year.Arnold is no longer fit to fill the hole he pulled out of.
However, she is still eleven or twelve years old.Although she has reached the age of traveling in “Last Brave,” she is a girl who should be protected from the public.Diona seemed to be worried about it.
Elvira squeezed her mouth together and looked up at Diona.Looking up with black eyes, she’s probably now fully rotating her head and calculating the advantages and disadvantages of taking her with her.
― ― It was Diona who broke it first.
“… let’s talk to Vake and the others. Over here.”
Elvira suddenly brightened her face and left the room after Diona.At that time, she looks at me and smiles modestly as if to say “hello to oniichan.”
– Patan. The door closes quietly and he’s alone again.
I think of little Elvira’s back as I walk out of this room.
(Maybe Elvira joins the journey.)
It was no longer close to certainty.
(Now that I have the Holy Sword, I don’t need to take the Water Spirit with me anymore, so there’s no reason for me to follow my journey.)
The invisible water spirit – perhaps healing its wounds – shouldn’t be targeted by the demon king anymore.When he had finished his role as a giver of spirit stones, the brave took the holy sword.That way, of course, I won’t have to accompany Lukash on his journey.
Then I will return to King’s Landing to do my part as a conciliator.
Isn’t it best to complete it?It was a little disturbing that the Demon King had seen her face more than once, but now the Demon King could not afford to give the assassin to his little girl opponent.Focus your strength on your side to intercept the brave.
Yeah, that’s good. Casper, his junior colleagues Basilio, Iris, Lina, and Chelsea were also very annoying.I have to pay you back exactly what you owe me.
I tried to decide – suddenly another option came to my mind. It came to my mind.
I move my gaze slowly towards the door.And I saw Arnold sleeping in bed.
I’m sure Arnold would be relieved if Merzedes and the others were here.You don’t have to worry about anything.I know, but…
(In the city of the people of Rustu, I am also next to Arnold…?)
That choice may not be the best one, but it’s still–
No, let’s not. It’s a waste of time to think on your own, even if it’s not something you can judge on your own.
I breathe softly and sit shallowly on the chair.Arnold was still as calm as before, asleep calmly.
