Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

118 – Hero of another world…?

I heard the warrior’s name was Lee Min-ah.

With a name that had a strangely characteristic three-syllable composition, I could immediately guess that he was from the same neighborhood as my father.

… Earth. It’s a different world, ‘another world’ of name and color. First of all, I heard that many countries coexist, but I guess it’s just my feelings that I feel like I’m only being summoned within one specific cultural area.

“Or is it being printed at a warrior factory or something?”

“… yes? “A factory?”

“Nothing.”

Anyway, it’s none of my business. I yawned and laid down on the rooftop railing.

At some point, the undine jumped up next to me. Cecilia and Freya also stuck their heads out and began to watch what was happening below.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere below was cooling rapidly. Princess Anastasia, who was greeting her 6th Holy Sword, was so embarrassed by the first words of the 6th Holy Sword’s hero Lee Min-ah that her body froze.

“… “You said you came to retrieve the holy sword?”

Anastasia narrowed her eyebrows as if she was embarrassed, but the chairman who was with her had a calm expression and his shiny bald head was shining.

Lee Min-ah laughed and clapped her hands.

“uh? The youngest princess doesn’t know yet. “She said it was like that.”

‘The youngest princess’. What does such a ridiculous name mean? The expressions of several professors who were standing in their seats became clouded. The way he spoke, which could sound a bit rude to some people, was also a problem.

“… … What was it? Umm~ Who said that? I forgot~ Party member! “Someone help me!”

With a playful tone, the two young men who had been standing behind Lee Min-ah stepped forward.

Is he a member of the warrior party? They were young men with a unique impression, and in particular, their hair color was close to a dark primary color, as if dark paint had been dropped on them. Borrowing from the first impressions of the pots of young people who were teased when I was young, I engraved a name tag in my heart: the red friend was Red, and the blue friend was Blue.

It was the communists who first opened their mouths towards Lee Min-ah.

“Why are you so dumb?”

“Woo, are you going to keep teasing me like that?”

Parangi spoke next.

“That’s right, stop teasing Mina. And Mina. First, we need to find the president of the academy and a man named Eugene Seo Neferna who works here.”

“ah! Thank you~ Thank you.”

Lee Min-ah looked away.

“Hmm, princess. Did you hear? I heard that the hero of the 4th Holy Sword is the Academy Chairman, and… Owner of the Second Holy Sword… that… Are you Eugene Nehru? “I’m looking for someone like that.”

“‘sister’… … ?”

“hey?”

“… Oh, sorry. I was a little embarrassed. Hehehe. yes. Unfortunately, I have not heard anything about what His Majesty said. “I don’t think it’s up to me to step forward.”

“yes?! “Won’t the princess help me?”

Whether it’s the youngest princess, the princess’s older sister, or the princess, I hope that everyone who sees it will burst out laughing, so the titles should be unified as one, but Lee Min-ah didn’t seem to be aware that her way of speaking was making a mistake. .

I wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts.

“Hmm~ That princess. I’m holding up well. “If it were me, I would have already splashed water on her face.”

Even Undine, who was a close friend of one another, held out her tongue. Lee Min-ah’s attitude was difficult to point out, but it was at a crossroads that made people secretly uncomfortable if they just looked at it, in other words, it made people feel sick.

However, Anastasia was already a pro when it came to dealing with people.

“As you may already know, I am the princess who has no power among my brothers. Please talk about the Holy Sword with the Chairman here. “Are you okay, Chairman?”

“oh! Haha, of course, princess. it’s okay. “I already know what the hero of the 6th Holy Sword came to see.”

Anastasia’s expression darkened for a moment at the chairman’s cheerful answer.

“… … is that so. Well then I’ll just… … .”

She said a brief goodbye with a faint smile and left.

We, who were watching everything from the rooftop, withdrew shortly after.

“How on earth did this happen?!”

“What happens?”

“You were peeping from the rooftop. “I could even see Master’s expression!”

“It sounds a bit strange when you say you’re spying on me, man.”

“You already knew!”

“A hero is coming? yes.”

“I knew the hero was coming! “I’m talking about retrieving the Holy Sword!”

“Is that so?”

I offered her a cup of tea.

“Drink and calm down, princess ‘Eon. you’.”

“… You can just pour it on your face. “Master.”

“ha ha ha! Sorry. “I thought she was just passing it off calmly, but it seems like she was paying attention.”

“profit! That crazy woman. When did you say you saw me ‘sister’? How old am I? … . Well, you might be able to tell if you look, but didn’t I obviously look younger? yes?! Cecilia! “How is it?”

“… … sorry. “I don’t know much about age-related appearance standards for humans.”

“Don’t say that!”

Undine showed a subtle sneer at Anastasia’s shout.

“Oh my, I guess you gritted your teeth and pretended not to notice even though I told you the correct answer, saying that you look a little older.”

“That’s a very helpful interpretation, Undine. “The problem is that it’s nonsense.”

“Hmm, even though I’m not that close to you, you speak well.”

“Aren’t you embarrassed to call your one and only friend ‘Bulyeosi’? Even though Cecilia appears shameless on the outside, she may not know how soft and suffering she is on the inside, which is why she makes such verbal abuse without any hesitation. “You are the one who doesn’t really know anything about Cecilia.”

… The fight is suffocating… … .

More than that, Anastasia, aren’t you too shameless to be verbally abusive like nothing happened…? ?

In the end, I asked Freya for help.

She checked my gaze and eventually came over with a big sigh.

“Everyone, let’s stop. “Even if we fight among ourselves, it doesn’t mean much.”

Then Freya turned to me and continued speaking.

“Eujin, let’s just tell the princess.”

“Uhm… “Do you really need it?”

Anastasia must have been a bit shocked by the word ‘necessarily’, so she covered her mouth and started shedding tears like chicken poop.

“okay okay. I didn’t mean to make you feel left out. “It’s because it’s not a good thing for you to hear.”

“That’s right, princess. Teacher, please be careful because there is a question about the life or death of the crown prince… … ah.”

You really have the style of driving the stake in first, Cecilia. I didn’t know.

Cecilia, who realized her mistake too late, expressionlessly covered her mouth with her palm, but the water had already spilled.

It’s something that can’t be helped. In the end, I obediently told Manwol what I had heard.

“yes?! His Majesty the Emperor… Are you saying that he has ordered the complete restoration of the snowy field and is gathering the power of the Holy Sword to destroy the moon…? ?”

“okay. From what I heard.”

“Well, is that possible?”

“The meaning of the holy sword is the meaning of the goddess. The shattered moon is no different from a goddess. The remnants of the moon rock are snow fields. So, if we destroy the moon and reverse the balance, it is not impossible to gradually reclaim the snowy fields from the hands of the monsters.”

“… … But I don’t think it just ends there.”

“that’s right. Would you pour all your magic power into preventing the collapse of the shattered moon on a day when your clan’s magic tower pretended to be crazy? Losing balance is nothing short of a disaster. A fleeting generation may see the light. However, once that brief festival is over, let alone maintaining the current status quo, there will be no end or rest, just a waste of time. “Nothing remains, let alone light.”

“Then why on earth does your Majesty…” ”

“How do I know? After all, if you die, it’s none of your business. “If you think about the lifespan of humans, it will only be something to worry about for distant generations.”

“… … … .”

We quietly waited for Anastasia to gather her thoughts.

“… “Then have you ever heard where my brother is?”

“We’re sorry, but all we know is that none of the heroes cooperated with the emperor’s plan.”

“… … “So, in other words, all the Holy Sword holders are being chased.”

“But that doesn’t mean the emperor can do anything with just internal forces within the imperial castle. Because the warriors of the holy sword can only be suppressed by the warriors of the holy sword. “My father was like that, and so was I.”

“So, the rookie hero of the 6th Holy Sword… … ”

“It would have been easy to coax. “Because you were just summoned, you probably don’t know anything about this world.”

“then… From the beginning, Abama… … ”

“If I had such a plan from the beginning, I wouldn’t have even intended to make you the owner of the Sixth Holy Sword in the first place. “It’s just my guess.”

Anastasia stumbled, perhaps a bit shocked. Cecilia approaches her and holds her hand without saying a word.

“then… Why on earth did your Majesty treat me in the past… He wants to make you a hero of the Second Holy Sword… It was clear back then… … “Ah, no.”

Anastasia took a deep breath and spoke briefly.

“I’m sure you’re talking to the chairman right now. “We have no choice but to go.”

***

“what! it’s annoying! “That bald guy doesn’t understand!”

“Mina. calm down. “There is no need for your feelings to be hurt by someone like that.”

“Nonsense! Isn’t it normal to listen to everything the emperor says? “I think something has happened!”

“Well, I heard that bald guy is also from Earth. Where are you from? “First of all, I’m not the Asian you’re talking about.”

“I don’t know! “Anyway, I’m not going to let it go.”

“Then what should we do?”

“What can I do? The emperor said it. “If it doesn’t work out through dialogue, you can use a little force.”

Finding the 6th Holy Sword party was easy. They were noticeable wherever they went, and the sight of them wearing iron armor as armor that would have been worn a thousand years ago was clearly visible even from hundreds of steps away.

Has the conversation with the chairman already ended?

The moment she discovered them, Anastasia’s steps became faster.

Three people, including me, followed behind.

It was Anastasia who cried out first. She gently joined their conversation with the most elegant smile on her face.

“Your Majesty’s words are important. However, as someone who holds a holy sword, please keep this in mind.”

“… … Oh, crazy. What are you… … hmm? … Wow! It’s the princess’s sister. “I’m sorry. What did I just say?”

Anastasia’s face suddenly cracked.
