The Hero Party With Whom I Am About To Part Ways Is Obsessed With Me

5 – return-5

Brilliant light emanates from the tip of the sword.

The fact that the sword could contain magical power was not unusual.

Eleanor is already the daughter of the imperial family and the head of the knights. She proved her worth in countless duels and battles, and no one doubted her power even before defeating the Demon King.

However, the beautiful and divine light that radiated from their eyes showed the fact that she was a hero more clearly and clearly than anything else.

The fact that such a hero did not leave to defeat the demon king gave everyone warm comfort and rest.

“You’re amazing!”

“As expected, he is the undoubted warrior himself!”

Eleanor drew the sword right away as if she was a little tired.

The imperial dress was a little cumbersome, but even with it, she would be stronger than anyone here.

“The demon king’s invasion is over, and we have all overcome. The emergency call-up order will be lifted, and merchants will be able to roam freely as soon as the administrative procedures are completed.”

And she brought out the words that the nobles here were waiting for the most.

The invasion of the demon king was a huge disaster, and in the process, the freedom of the people and nobles in each region was forced to be suppressed.

The territories in the front will immediately become a battlefield, and the territories in the rear will have to make enormous sacrifices to support soldiers and supplies.

If the party of warriors failed or was delayed in defeating the demon lord, nobles who had nothing to stand out in particular had no choice but to sit on the streets.

Trade is suppressed because you don’t know where the devil’s spy will come in, and as the charter becomes chaotic, even angelic nobles have to squeeze the territories.

Many secretly gathered soldiers and provisions in case of downfall, and many prayed to the gods, but those nobles now felt all their concerns faded from the tip of the warrior’s sword.

“Long live the hero!”

“Long live Her Highness Eleanor!”

After the talk was over, several windsmen raised their hands and shouted hurrah, and cheers began to reverberate in the banquet hall.

But no one found the atmosphere unpleasant.

Everyone could relate to the joy of being able to continue normal economic activities from tomorrow, aside from the macroscopic joy that the world has now escaped destruction.

However, Eleanor slightly bit her lip. This sword was more reliable than anyone else when fighting, but when not fighting, it was nothing more than a noise generator that chimed incessantly.

-Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

‘My head hurts. If it’s a sword, be quiet like a sword.’

– Isn’t the extermination of the demon king over? How long are you going to pretend to be a warrior?

‘The warrior is me. you conform You will continue to be my sword, and I will not send you anywhere.’

– You have no intention of confessing to a woman?

A teenage girl’s voice buzzed in Eleanor’s head. She put her sword back in its scabbard, and drank elegantly from a nearby glass of wine.

“If that’s the case, then the next emperor will be…”

“It’s a cautious story, but His Majesty is old enough, and he has no other children.”

After gaining the power of the hero, Eleanor was able to hear the conversations around her unfiltered.

It was a useful skill on the battlefield. There was no one to talk nonsense about, and it was only natural to get nervous when you heard the slightest disparate sound.

There were many times when it was uncomfortable, but fortunately, there was no one who could say bad things about her.

Except for that noisy knife.

“Are you feeling better?”

When my eyes met the maid’s bright eyes, I involuntarily turned my head away.

“it’s okay.”

“The aftereffects of the battle may remain, so if you feel anything strange, tell me right away!”

The feeling of being worried was very uncomfortable. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone who cares about my condition.

The saints and wizards were at least formally concerned, but it was meaningless, just words.

Saying those words didn’t make me rest, and even if they did, the hero would have refused.

“I don’t know when he’ll be gone, but I hope you’ll be happy while you’re here!”

“I don’t know if that’s possible. I just don’t need them all, so I just want them to be returned.”

After pouring out the grievous complaints, I had a moment of doubt.

Being a porter is a secret, and being a hero is a bigger secret.

No matter how much she is a maid, it is not a topic that can be brought up in a place like this.

“Now, wait, where do you think I’m going…”

“Of course it’s the territory of the hometown!”

“Oh, me again.”

After seeing her off, I lay down on the empty bed again and looked at the scene outside.

It was nice not to have to do anything. The scenery was nice, and it was nice to lie down.

I wanted to continue to live like this today.

“Are you inside?”

A deep voice was heard. Taking advantage of the gap when no one was there, I frowned.

After taking a deep breath, I was able to answer him.

“Yes.”

When I opened the door, the emperor, accompanied by an escort knight, was standing in front of me.

“Wait… sit down and talk.”

For some reason, the wrinkles on his face seemed to get deeper.

I wanted him to go quickly, but it seemed like it wouldn’t be an easy task if he came to a place like this.

If possible, ‘preparations for the reverse summoning ceremony went faster than expected.’ I wished he would bring me the same good news, but it didn’t seem possible.

“I want you two to leave.”

“Ha, but His Majesty’s comfort…”

“Don’t do anything meaningless.”

After driving the maid and escort out of my room, he pressed the kettle lightly with his finger. A string of blue light twinkled, and soon the water in the kettle started bubbling.

I didn’t know it was a magic tool. I didn’t know how to use magical powers, so I thought it was just for decoration and left it unattended.

He poured the tea with trembling hands and set the two cups down on the round table where I was sitting.

“Isn’t it comfortable to have a maid?”

“Sometimes… you just need some time to organize your thoughts. Pouring tea is a great hobby for an emperor to have.”

He sat down in front of me and took one sip of tea.

“People make mistakes. No matter how good your intentions are, no matter how capable you were before, if you keep working, you’ll make mistakes.”

His golden hair and beard flashed majestically.

“It’s okay for tea to fail. After you’ve had one cup of tea that’s a little too bitter or bland, you pay the full price for failure.”

Let’s take a sip of tea, worthy of being called artisan. Does the emperor of this country have to be good at driving a car?

“Because reality isn’t like that. To pay the price of failure, you can’t do something alone. There are times when you need mercy and forgiveness from others.”

“…I don’t know what you want to say.”

“I mean, give me a chance to make up for my failure.”

“…”

“You must have suffered a lot here. Others do too, but at least others can get paid for their decisions.”

The Emperor’s eyes were full of kindness and consideration, confidence and dignity.

Just like the day you first met me.

“I want to go back.”

“I’m the emperor. You’re gaining trust and favor that no one else can get. If it’s the demon king’s territory, it’s time to enjoy it once you’ve entered the empire.”

Now he looked at me with a friendly, laid-back expression, as if he were not the emperor, but the mischievous grandfather next door.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to at least see what you can do here? You’ll have to stay here for a month anyway.”

It was as if they were inviting a prank or an exciting adventure. The more I listened to him, the more likely I would be to inadvertently accept.

“I can do things that are a little dangerous or something that will damage my face without hesitation.

“No need.”

“In my heart, I want to give you a greater reward for your dedication to this world and country. You deserve it. Now you deserve to take a break and enjoy life.”

“I’m not a very competent person, and I’m not a very moral person. I don’t need and I don’t want to be empowered.”

Upon hearing my answer, the Emperor let out a deep sigh.

“Then it can’t be helped… But, you should know this much. Leodrin Enerel. That’s your name. The eldest son of the Leodrin family, and was hidden and found near the imperial castle.”

“That’s my fake identity… do you need that?”

“Because you can’t bring people into the palace for no reason, even for a month. It’s a short time, but get along well.”

He trudged weakly toward the door, then looked back slightly.

“And…don’t hate me too much.”

“I don’t hate those people.”

It was a blatant lie.

But, at least I think that’s true.

Hate without action is as empty as love without action.

I hid the fact that I hated them in my heart. I won’t blame them, and I won’t do anything intentionally harmful.

I just leave this world without any regrets. I had enough of that
