Before I could say anything, my grandfather answered that he had paid his own taxes, which was disappointing.

I was planning to move my body in case the plan failed.

Why are you so useless and noble! Annoying! Be more faithful to your desires!

So even though you may have had doubts about whether you should seriously carry a mace, it would have been fun to make fun of!

‘Why did you bother to hide it? ‘I expected it for no reason.’

‘Did you say anything strange when you borrowed my body?’

iced coffee. You were cursed by the Mesugaki skill.

It’s embarrassing when you get distorted at first. Even now that I’ve gotten used to it to some extent, I still get asked why it’s translated like that every time. huh. huh.

‘It’s quite fun once you get used to it.’

If you can’t avoid it, don’t you say enjoy it?

The Mesugaki skill is still a skill that can make you curse all day long, but it is not without its merits.

It’s quite fun to play around with this skill as an excuse.

‘I’m sure my grandfather also enjoyed it secretly, calling Erginus a virgin.’

I was saying some nonsense, expecting an answer, but there was no answer from my grandfather.

‘uh. grandfather. no way.’

‘are you okay. grandfather. Everyone is swayed by delusion. I can embrace that.’

As I listened to the cries filled with self-destruction, my sadistic feelings surged, but I felt like my grandfather would really cry if I continued like this, so I stopped.

How scary! Mesugaki’s ability to corrupt even Holy Knights!

‘Then why are you hiding it? If you had told me the truth, this wouldn’t have happened.’

‘Did you fight?’

The heroes of the mythical era won the war, but did not achieve their wishes. Because the existence of evil spirits was not something that could be erased with their own power.

Heroes were people who were worthy of that title.

Naturally, they were people with nobility who had to be chosen by God. That’s why heroes were extremely strict with themselves.

Even though everyone in the world praised their achievements, the heroes did not forgive themselves.

Erginus blamed himself with a self-destructive lament.

Garad shouted that he should not have given up, but kept quiet when Ruel urged him to think there was another way.

In fact, Ruel, who was urging Garad, was thinking the same thing inside, so he spoke louder to hide his feelings of shame.

And the warrior.

I kept silent.

Didn’t say anything.

At the official meeting, he smiled and talked as usual, but behind the scenes, he looked at his broken sword with empty eyes and kept his mouth shut.

The story of the repentant young paladin was truly cruel.

Who could laugh if that was the ending reached after sacrificing countless things, overcoming countless trials, and running forward with the sole intention of saving the world from evil?

But the heroes couldn’t do that.

They were so good.

He was noble enough to give up all his glory and set out on a path to save the world.

I was foolish enough to laugh and rush into something that others would dissuade me from saying was impossible.

That’s why I couldn’t say anything. I tried to endure everything on my own.

‘But in the end, Grandpa and his colleagues faced something they wanted to forget?’

‘Otherwise, there’s no way you would have left something for future generations, right?’

Leaving something for future generations means thinking about what they might need, which means facing a nightmare that you would like to forget. The heroes may have fallen, but they did not collapse.

‘grandfather?’

I tilted my head to the sound of a voice that seemed to be dripping with water. Did I say something wrong? I thought you said something pretty good?

Ruel faced the hero who was being held by the guard and was shocked by his appearance, but at the same time tried to apologize for the past events.

At that time, he was caught up in delusion and did not see his colleagues as colleagues.

And if there was any lingering regret in the warrior’s heart, he decided to accept the sacrament of confession like a priest.

‘…What did the hero do?’

‘People who do something don’t think about apologizing.’

The grandfather, who was laughing lightly, was about to say something before letting out a long sigh. Then, after more than a minute, he broke the silence.

‘…yes?’

The hero said to Ruel that if darkness becomes darker because of light and light becomes brighter because of darkness, wouldn’t it be okay if both disappeared?

‘What kind of person is Erginus inside my grandfather?’

At first, Ruel tried to explain gently, but the warrior did not want to listen to his story. Even the moment when the string of reason he had was broken.

After that, the grandfather wandered around to achieve his decision and tried to obtain information about the hero, but he could not get anything.

‘Where did the warrior last appear?’

That’s enough. Even just the last sighting information can significantly narrow the scope of the search. Grandpa’s story wasn’t trivial at all!

‘go. ‘What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?’

There is deep concern in his voice.

After seeing the hero’s ugly end after deep despair, the grandfather thinks that what the hero left behind will be harmful to him.

Still, I suppressed the efficiency-loving thoughts that were surging within me, telling me that I couldn’t avoid doing the quest.

If I were to say something like this, it wouldn’t resonate at all from my grandfather’s point of view.

The person who has to answer now is not the rotten water of Soul Academy. What I need to tell my grandfather is the next generation of heroes who will continue the legacy of the heroes who lived in the age of myth.

‘grandfather. Didn’t I just tell you this? Heroes didn’t run away. ‘I faced what I considered a sin.’

I guess so. In reality, the hero Ruel saw was probably much uglier than I thought. Even hundreds of years later, it must be so terrible that it is clearly reflected in your eyes.

‘Still, he’s a hero.’

Even so, he is a warrior.

Even better than Archmage Erginus. Even better than Knight Garad. Even better than Paladin Ruel. Even more noble. Even better. More hopeful and pure. He is a hero chosen by the gods.

‘The bird that flies high must fall the longer it flies. But a bird is a bird. Even if it falls to the ground, it will fly back into the sky. It would have been the same for the warrior. Didn’t he just need time?’

‘You’re someone your grandfather recognized as a hero, right? I just trust that insight.’

I can never say that Heojeop Jushin’s insight was right. Then, if you find out that the hero actually looked like a cute girl, I think you will truly hate the main character.

When I answered while hiding the true situation, my grandfather said, “Huh.” He let out a laugh.

‘Have I grown taller? Also, thanks to the miracle, my status rose and my height grew…’

‘kid!? ‘Did you just call me a kid?!’

Aside from everything else, I can never stand it when you call me a kid! It’s war! Ruel!

‘…island. ‘This?’
