The Exiled Hero Has Been Resummoned

7 – Meeting Old Relationships 2

Is it true that everyone dies because of the wrong greed of a few?

Chaejin was thinking about it too.

There are many life forms on the continent.

There were quite a few different races as well as humans.

For them, if they had to die because of idiots who are the brainiest among humans, and in proportion, they could not even hold a handful in their hands on a sandy beach, they would feel unjust and burn their stomachs.

So, I was trying to think carefully about what to do in the future in a place where no one was around, but these two suddenly approached me.

Anyway, I can’t make a cold judgment if I’m like this.

Chaejin decided to separate them even if it was forced.

“You guys are just saying, ‘Please do it’ until the end. It’s their own world, but they can’t find the determination to save it on their own.”

“…… If I had the power to do that, I would have done it a long time ago. But the only one who can save the world is you, the hero who received God’s protection—”

“Who decided that? Did the goddess give me an oracle like that? The Demon God’s clone is an invincible being that can never be defeated unless you are a hero?”

Trisha couldn’t answer that question.

Since it is an unreasonable existence, treat it as an equally unreasonable existence.

I knew only that much, but there is no way to know if you must be a hero to get rid of a disaster.

“There is a limit to the power that can be exerted on him at once. If we gather the world’s strongest people together and send them out one by one, it will end someday. Of course, humanity might end first, but it’s not entirely unlikely anyway.”

“That… ….”

“But you don’t want to do that. I wonder how many people will volunteer for a fight where they must die and where victory is not certain. Sacrificing is sad and painful. But look at the warrior over there, how convenient is it? It’s enough to seduce a sense of mission by coaxing people with flattery, make them sacrifice themselves, and then swell up after their work is done.”

Trisha’s hand gripped her collar completely relaxed.

She looked up at her chaejin with her dazed expression.

“It is absolutely forbidden for you to sacrifice because of various circumstances, but is it natural for me to sacrifice? Why, because I’m a stranger? Received the protection of the goddess? Even if you die here, you don’t really die, so there will be no responsibility or burden?”

“… ….”

“On the contrary, there is no reason to save the world through all that hard work. It’s not even my world, if you don’t like it, just go back and that’s it, what am I to do? Trisha. You would definitely know Do you think it’s not real death and doesn’t hurt or suffer? Do you think that just because I am a warrior, I can just go and get rid of the disaster and get rid of it? If you were watching from the side, you wouldn’t be able to know.”

Eventually, Trisha averted her gaze.

I can’t seem to think of anything to say.

Chaejin didn’t even give me a chance to answer and continued to drive.

“What am I to you guys? A handy tool that always sacrifices on your behalf whenever the world is in danger? Now that it’s peaceful, it’s of no use? To be honest, it just doesn’t feel that way.”

“No, I never thought of you that way, Chaejin… ….”

“Even if I didn’t mean to do that, it’s a problem that I actually treat it that way. Is anything forgiven if there was no intention? See now I gave out all my liver and gallbladder, but I was kicked out and all I could say is that I am still a warrior, so please sacrifice yourself again to save the world. Without you making any effort for me.”

“I said I would do anything you asked me to do. Sex slave or whatever. If you promise to save the world, I could die right here.”

“What can I do? It might have been in the old days, but it doesn’t have much value to me now.”

“Then what the hell am I supposed to do…… ! What can I do!”

“Well, in case I changed my mind, did I go to the front line and fight the monsters so that it would take a little less effort? Even if you can’t solve the problem right away, you can do something that delays the destruction even a little bit, right? At the very least, it can be said that it is poisonous to come and block the way.”

“… ….”

Tricia lowers her head.

Juri, too, was just fiddling with her fingers, looking elsewhere as if she had become her own sinner.

‘I’m sorry that you’re too far-fetched and sophistry for innocent guys.’

Since her purpose was to separate them anyway, she decided to turn around after telling her true feelings one last time.

“What do you think is the reason why I gritted my teeth and fought over and over again to save the world in the first place? The reward the Empire promised to give? A lover who swore forever? They don’t have a lot of weight, but the biggest thing was the sense of mission. If only I can hold on, if only I can do well, everyone will be able to laugh. Only I can save this world. I moved forward with that sense of mission burning.”

This was a fact that even the girls knew.

She had said this before.

Why do you want to save the world?

Chaejin replied with a smile.

I am happy to be a person of value to the world.

I have a sense of mission that only I can do.

Those words might have made everyone think that a man named Han Chae-jin was someone they could always depend on.

“When I sealed it, all the sense of mission I had at the beginning was used up as fuel. And now, I was going to fill that vacancy with my affection for this world, the place where I would live for the rest of my life…… I was expelled then. How would you feel? In the place where there used to be a sparkling sense of mission, only a blackened sense of desolation remained.”

“…… Warrior.”

Juri, who had been listening quietly until now, suddenly hugged Chaejin.

The warm and soft touch of her body pressed her upper body.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…… I don’t know what to say other than this. Hearing your words made her heart swell…… Sorry.”

Even though Chaejin felt it, she continued talking without much inspiration.

“It’s funny, it disappears on its own after about a year of being sealed, but it finally kicks me out and wakes it up again. Didn’t all my efforts and the blood I spilled just go to waste? Then, when they said that they were summoned again, they said they did it on purpose. To eat the whole empire. It’s my fault, so take responsibility.”

“Hee, hee, hee hee…….”

Juri started sobbing and Tricia’s face covered in disgust.

His expression asked if there were all those things.

“You guys are right. Even if I suddenly returned and felt suspicious, you wouldn’t have been able to do anything. Because there are no warriors in the world anymore. If you dig in there, the only thing waiting for you is death. It would be unfair if I had to die without knowing the truth and without a choice. But…… I am human too. Even a warrior is human. Except for the divine protection, there is nothing special at all, a person who, just like you, will bleed red blood when stabbed with a sword! Even after going through all of this, I have no desire to go through that hardship again, so what should I do?”

The hero could feel it.

The fact that the demon’s double body broke the seal and became stronger than before.

If you want to grow your protection, you have to walk that bloody road again.

At that time, I had a sense of mission, but now I have no desire or motivation.

I barely won when I sealed it for the first time, but now, no matter how I look at it, there was a high chance of defeat.

I wondered how much more I would be able to grow by fighting the monsters that had now turned into small puppets.

Chaejin grabbed the shoulder of his old colleague who was hugging him and pushed him away.

“I need some quiet time alone to think.”

The two nodded at the words that sounded like a request.

There are many things I want to say, but they don’t seem to come out.

Chaejin, who got out of her seat, went to the deep forest next to Ongdalsaem where a small waterfall trickled down.

Being alone there after lighting a fire, all I could think about was blank thoughts.

‘The time limit is about two years.’

The means by which the demon’s clone destroys the world is erosion.

It sets a foundation in one place and spreads demonic energy to eat the surrounding life force while expanding the area of erosion.

The eroded land became a place where only monsters were infested and normal life could not live.

There is only one way to stop that, and that is to dig right into the center of the demon and directly face the clone and defeat it.

If it is not dealt with in time, the entire continent will be devoured by demonic energy, and an apocalypse will unfold with no way to recover.

‘Even at this moment, someone must be fighting and dying. Even if demonic spirits set foot on a land without demons, it’s not like they’ll fall down right away.’

That didn’t bother me that much.

Anyway, even on Earth, someone was always suffering and dying.

No matter how brave and heroic he was, he couldn’t care about all of that.

What really worries Chaejin is…….

‘Humans are disgusting. When everyone is in front of me, it feels like they are wearing a mask. Surely there are those who are innocent and innocent. But in the world I saw, there were more people who weren’t like that. Selfish, only aware of himself, only knows how to pass the responsibility on to others, and is busy biting someone if there are any cases…… Those who betrayed faith.’

When I first saw the emperor, I thought that he had a kind smile.

Bright was her daughter, an idiot, and a great love for her family.

She taught her swordsmanship with her serious face, but when she talked about her daughter, her face would have a big smile on her face, and she couldn’t hide it from insulting her son-in-law who stole her daughter. I could feel the affection and her smile made me smile.

Marquis Alfred also saw only Chaejin until he saved the world, and he took off his hat on the spot and politely bowed.

Everything they showed was a lie and a pretense, and inside, after sucking up all the sweet water, I was filled with thoughts of how to deal with that jar of pestilence.

At first, the betrayal of Elua, the woman she loved, was just confusing, but after she was expelled, she became more miserable and bitter, tormenting Chae-jin.

Two years in which she returned to Earth, banished from the world she thought would now be hers.

In the meantime, Chaejin has been plagued by distrust of humans and has not been able to trust anyone.

An ability that seems to have disappeared for granted.

She was reported missing for three years in the other world, leaving her with a huge hiatus, making it impossible for her to live a normal life.

She said that beautiful women such as Trisha and Juri would get married, but she did not agree at all with her begging, because she could not believe in humans themselves.

With her honest feelings, she just wants to intuit the despair of the emperor and nobles right in front of her eyes and watch everything perish neatly.

She didn’t have the option of trying to save the world after eliminating the possibility of being stabbed in the back by judging them all, but she just didn’t want to do anything and felt like everything was bothering her.

But, nonetheless.

‘Nevertheless, I am a warrior… ….’

Chaejin had no will, fighting spirit, or sense of mission to save the world.

Nonetheless, Chaejin remains a warrior.

Right after he returned to the continent, until now, the blessing of the goddess continues to resonate in his heart.

‘Why? If this is enough, I can confiscate it, saying that I don’t have the qualifications to be a hero.’

Chaejin has always been curious about the identity of the goddess.

What the hell is a goddess that allows warriors to be summoned and grants them the power of protection?

For what exactly, for what purpose?

Not only Prim, who was the priestess of the party, but also a woman called the Holy Lady of the Holy Land, could not communicate with the goddess.

The goddess only delivered one-sidedly.

Once every few years, in the name of an oracle.

She has no way of knowing whether even that is true or made up by the Holy Land.

The same was true of Chaejin, who was blessed by the goddess.

“… ….”

Chaejin stayed up all night thinking about it for a long time.

And at dawn, she fell asleep while sitting.

In the dream, he was standing on top of the summoning circle, but he looked around and saw nothing, just standing alone.

Slowly… ….

Then a woman appeared in front of him.

She covered her whole body with a white robe, and even her face was covered by her hood, so I couldn’t see a single inch of skin, but I could tell she was a woman for some reason.

And also what name she is called.

“Nice to meet you, warrior with my protection.”
