𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟐.𝟏: 𝐀 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐱-𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨

We, who had fled from the Kingdom of Wolfeus, practically arrived straight at the EhrfleIt Holy Kingdom, the intended haven for non-combatants, and the head temple of the Goddess Religion. We did this by bypassing countries along the way with a forced march using Emma-chan’s [Angel’s Auxiliary Wings].

It was Emma-chan’s decision to get the wounded hero to a safe place as soon as possible, out of the reach of the Demon Lord.

There’s no complaint about that.

At least, not from me.

But, since it ended up looking like we abandoned our country, Shindou and Ivy-san had a very complicated look on their faces.

So, after arriving at the EhrfleIt Holy Kingdom, I ended up distancing myself from the battles.

This was something I had discussed with the three of them during our journey.

My spirit was already broken.

When I spoke with dead eyes about not being able to fight anymore, all three of them looked at me with what seemed like sympathy, and accepted my decision.

From now on, I will probably be making a living by means other than fighting.

Like using appraisal to become an appraiser.

ㅤ

In contrast, Shindou is admirable.

He said that he would continue to fight on the front lines with Emma-chan and Ivy-san, who was chosen as the new one of the Twelve Apostles.

And that one day, he will defeat the Demon Lord and avenge everyone.

ㅤ

He is truly a hero.

A tragic hero.

Considering things like leaving his left eye injury, given as a caution by Honjo-san, as is (although it seems like his eyeball is healed), there’s no way I could emulate him even if I did a handstand.

All I could do was provide the status of the Demon Lord, that dragon, and the monster that looked like Honjo-san, which I successfully appraised.

That was my last task as a hero.

ㅤ

I don’t know what choices Shindou will make based on the information I shared.

I don’t know the outcome of the battle between the hero and the Demon Lord.

I don’t know what will happen to this world, and there’s nothing I can do about it anymore.

ㅤ

I can’t do anything anymore.

I am no longer a part of the hero’s tale.

All a defeated dog like me, with a broken spirit, can do is blend into the crowd and pray that the hero will defeat the Demon Lord and bring peace.

ㅤ

And thus, my adventure has come to an end.
