The Discarded Warrior Party Came to Me

65 – Toward the End (6)

“What is this… What is…?”

I checked the small piece of paper hidden behind the picture. There was a lot of black ink on it. At first, I thought it was graffiti, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t graffiti. It was a carefully written letter.

I looked closely at the letter.

– Dear Eunchan. Dad is on his way to the scene. I was supposed to play with Eunchan today, but she couldn’t play with me, so I’m very sorry. I am very, very sorry that my dad seems to only upset me every time. Actually, he doesn’t know how to write a letter, he doesn’t know how to apologize, so he’s practicing here beforehand. I’m going to write the letter as I feel now, and then transfer it to a large stationery later… Ah… Don’t I need to write this anyway? But since you don’t know what people are doing… If your dad doesn’t survive at this scene, he might not be able to survive, right? Then this letter will be the last letter to Eunchan….

I understand what my father said. Every time my father went to the field, he used to make such a promise. If he could sacrifice his life to save his others, he would gladly do so. That is why my father always went to the scene with the determination to risk his life. Not a single day did he do lifesaving work without risking his life. So, he must have been concerned while drafting the letter. As for whether this draft can really be transferred to a letter…

-Sniff

I finished reading the letter written below, wiping my tears.

– Stop writing drafts… I’ll write this for Eun-chan, who will read it if he sees it. ..Eunchan-ah, Dad. Have you lived in a very poor environment since childhood? To be honest, there was a time when I was nervous because I didn’t even have money to eat ramen. Are you surprised? At that time… There was an elderly man who helped my father a lot. He always passed by the road, and when he saw his father in pain grabbing his stomach on the side of the road, he would throw ramen noodles one by one. At that time, ramen was expensive, so Dad was very grateful for that? He would throw food indifferently every time and go away, but to his dad, that was everything in the world. He was so happy the day he met him. But, since one day, the old man didn’t come. I found out that there was a fire. But he couldn’t get out of there because his body was uncomfortable. I heard he died.

-I was angry…I was very angry. I know there was nothing Dad could do, but it upsets me so much that the man who was so willing to do favors had to die with no help from anyone. After that. My father tried to be a firefighter. Like that old man, to help those who can’t get help because of his disability or needing help. Ah, now we have arrived at the scene. Should I just write this down…

After that, the contents continued. Bloodstains were clearly visible in what followed.

-…Eunchan-ah…It seems difficult to go back. He also lost his cell phone while running, and his legs are immobile as he was crushed by a large piece of rubble. Still… It’s not that bad. Because Dad saved him, he is the mother of a new life and a new life to be born. Eun-chan, Dad is really happy. But at the same time, it’s also sad… Now it’s very difficult to think that I won’t see Eun-chan again. However, I have no regrets. If I had hesitated, I wouldn’t have saved that person. Eun-chan Oh, by any chance, if you happen to open this pendant and check her contents, I hope you don’t hate the woman I saved too much. Because this was entirely my choice.

Soon, at the end, it was written in a low, visibly shaking handwriting.

– Honey, Eunchan. I’m sorry for being a bad husband and a bad father. Eun-chan, you… Don’t live like her father, you must live happily.

“….”

My father’s letter ended there.

The situation was drawn. My father was crushed by the rubble, and he would have been unable to move. However, the fact that there was enough time to write such a long letter means that this situation lasted for quite a long time, and the fact that the woman brought this pendant in the end means that the woman abandoned her father at the scene and got out by herself.

I ran towards the woman. Then he grabbed the woman’s clothes with his fern-like hands.

“…I could have saved you. If you tried…!”

When I cried and shouted, the woman cried and muttered.

“I’m sorry…Really…Really sorry…”

I glanced at the woman’s hands, her hands all covered with burns and bloodstains.

“Ha…”

I turned my head. This woman must have tried too. She must have tried tenaciously to grab the hot wreck and lift it up. Even though she was carrying her baby on her body, even if her own hands were bruised and blistered by intense warmth, she would have worked tirelessly to save her father from being buried under rubble while trying to save herself. But, in the end, it must have failed.

“….”

I looked at her. She didn’t make excuses, just said she was sorry. Crying and crying again I didn’t want to see her any more. She clearly knows that it wasn’t her fault, that she tried her best, and that she didn’t make excuses without shame, but in her young heart, she hated her. I got out of the funeral home like that.

***

Time passed. No matter how much time passed, the wound did not subside. The life of the father who saved and lost one life was amazing, but it was remembered as a deep wound to those who remained. I still miss my father So was my mother. He will miss his father forever.

“Why on earth…”

I couldn’t understand my father’s psychology. Even though there are close family members, even though he knows that we will be left alone when he dies, what value did the father pursue to save people?

It didn’t make sense in my head. And I was curious. What was his father’s thoughts, and why did he live so far for others?

In the meantime, I was dragged into a strange world.

***

In the world where I am possessed, there are goddesses and goddess kingdoms. Surprisingly, I possessed this place with great power. It could inflict 10 times the damage to monsters, and the physical abilities of its entire body were also powerful.

“Cheerreuk…”

The first thing I did after being possessed by this place was to save people.

-Suddenly-!

“Thank you very much. Thank you for saving my life…”

When I saved someone, he bowed his head to me and thanked me. It wasn’t that difficult. Because I had strong power, and monsters were weak.

‘I don’t know… yet…’

There was no other reason to save people. It was because I wanted to know what kind of heart my father had to save people. It was because he was curious about what made him risk his life, and what was more valuable than his own life.

-Suddenly!

-Suddenly!

“Sal…Thank you so much for saving me…Really…”

After that, I continued to save people. I didn’t know how to get out of this place where I was possessed, and all I could do was fight the f*cking monsters. I wanted to understand my father’s heart as well. Why did he go to rescue people?

***

After a while, the people I saved came to my place one by one to express their gratitude.

“Thank you so much for saving me…This is a crop I made…”

“Hero! Thank you so much… My daughter said thank you so much for being saved by the hero the other day…”

“Thank you so much for saving my father…”

Some expressed their gratitude while shedding tears, while others expressed their gratitude by willingly handing over precious things to them.

I only swung a sword, which was nothing, but they thanked me with all their hearts. The expression of gratitude was gradually accumulating and accumulating in my heart.

-Munkle

An unknown feeling. Dwells in the chest After that, I felt uncomfortable if I didn’t rescue people who were in trouble. I thought it was a sin not to ask even though I had the power.

Numerous people who spend their daily lives farming, talking, giving thanks, laughing and enjoying each other.

I wanted to keep their daily lives.

“Ah…”

Yes. After being possessed by this place, I was finally able to understand my father’s heart. What my father wanted to protect was not a person’s life or a great cause.

He wanted it. I hope people’s trivial daily lives don’t fall apart. I hope their hearts don’t break down as they live with gratitude even in the smallest moments. And, he was immersed. To the people’s gratitude, in addition to their grateful hearts.

As time passed, I was able to understand my father’s heart. So I started to over-immerse myself in this strange world.

I felt like I finally truly knew what my father was thinking.

I realized myself that I was acting more and more like a father.

-Hero, I am the goddess Abelida. I would like to invite you to our Goddess Bureau.

Around that time, I was invited to the goddess kingdom of Abelida. And, everything started to fall apart.
