I Quit the Hero’s Party Chapter 309

〈 Episode 309 〉 What the stars wish for (2)

* * *

Raniel van Trias doesn’t like stars.

However, it did not reach the level of hatred.

Raniel does not even think of bringing down the star like Kelhalm or the Apostate. In her view, stars are just a kind of rule. Can’t we be angry at the providence that created the world?

don’t believe I don’t even prefer it. However, I don’t hate it either. It’s just a little awkward. Raniel’s perception of the stars was limited to just that.

But, now.

“This is absurd.”

That perception is about to change a little.

Raniel gritted his teeth and tightened his hands.

“What happens when it’s all over? contract? “You’re being damned.”

Doubts about the star continued to pile up.

This raises doubts about its fairness.

Meanwhile, Raniel feels annoyed by the star agent who appears before his eyes. Suddenly, the old tree staff held in Raniel’s hand cracked with a sound.

“If you’re going to come, come quickly. “At important moments, I just run away every time…”

Raniel pulled his wand.

I thrust my face towards the ancient dragon wizard.

“It’s always like this. “What on earth are we going to do?”

“It is none of your business to interfere. Raniel van Trias.”

The ancient dragon wizard, Jormun, looks at Raniel expressionlessly. The vertically split pupils are extremely cool.

“The warrior, Kyle Torben, made a deal with the stars. He accepted conditions and restrictions of his own will. “If you try to reject those conditions now…”

Jormun’s golden eyes sparkle.

“I have to dispose of it. “That was also a condition of the contract.”

The contract was concluded.

If you refuse him, you will be disposed of.

‘···That is the condition.’

Raniel ponders Jormun’s words.

Raniel also knows that such types of restrictions exist. A type of contract that maximizes the price that can be received from a transaction by imposing strong restrictions.

“······.”

Raniel glanced at Kyle without saying a word.

“What on earth are you betting on?”

“······.”

“What on earth did you want to receive, why did you accept these conditions? Are you a fanatic? “What is this…”

The will and the initiative of the body are taken away.

We accepted conditions that were close to a subordination contract.

All kinds of unfavorable restrictions were placed there.

‘What on earth are you trying to get by doing that?’

Raniel couldn’t tell.

Not only were there extremely rare cases of a warrior making a deal with a star, but I couldn’t imagine what would be gained even with such restrictions.

“Hey, Kyle.”

Raniel grabbed Kyle, who was kneeling on the floor, by his collar. Raniel asked a pressing question to Kyle, who did not answer the question.

“What on earth have you signed?”

“······.”

“f*ck, what do I need to know to help me now!”

Raniel, unable to bear it any longer, screamed.

No matter how much I think about it, the contents of the contract are wrong. Just because you didn’t fulfill the contract, an ancient dragon wizard appears as an agent of the star? How much more disposal?

‘Have you already received a little something?’

There are also transactions in which an advance payment is received at the time of signing the contract. In that case, such strong restrictions are not incomprehensible. Ran El frowned and opened his mouth.

“What did you get already?”

“···I received it.”

“Accumulating stars? Or maybe something when you catch Ganicalt…”

Kyle quietly shook his head.

“It’s different from that. “It was my choice to accumulate stars, but when dealing with Ganicalt, the stars were completely cut off.”

“Then what on earth… No, that’s enough.”

Raniel shouted irritably.

“I don’t know what I got first, but just give up. Let it go. Just spit out what you received and cancel the contract. No matter how you look at it, these conditions are strange, right? Break it up once and start again from the beginning. “I will take care of it…”

Kyle looked at Raniel in silence.

‘Let it go, Rani.’

Kyle, who was thinking about those words, smiled bitterly.

“That can’t be possible.”

“···what?”

“For now, get out of the way, Raniel.”

“What is that…”

“If you’re not going to get out of the way, at least duck.”

Kyle mumbled and raised his hand.

The chains that bound Kyle broke with a snap. This is the moment when Jormun narrowed his eyes. Kyle reached out his hand and grabbed Raniel’s arm.

“Because you’ll get cut.”

Suddenly, the chains surrounding Kyle were cut.

2.

Before he knew it, Kyle was holding a holy sword in his hand.

After cutting the chain with the holy sword, Kyle stood up and left. He faced the ancient dragon wizard glaring at him.

“What are we going to do? Kyle Torben.”

“The first warrior said so.”

Kyle let out a short breath.

“Don’t live as a slave to the stars. So, I’m trying to be a little more confident.”

Kyle opened his mouth while holding the holy sword.

“I will fulfill the contract. However, the conditions will not be changed.”

“…Change the conditions?”

“You’ll know when you see it. I became a superhuman. This is something that the stars could not predict, and it means that my ransom has risen even further. “It means that the value of the price I paid has increased.”

“so?”

“I will request a change in conditions.”

“Do you think it will work?”

“I think it will work.”

Kyle said calmly.

“Because that side is not in a very confident position either.”

Kyle reflects on the contents of the contract.

A contract filled with all kinds of conditions and restrictions.

But ultimately, what lies at the center is transaction. Kyle told the star what he wanted. Star replied that he would grant the request if he could overcome the two trials.

The first trial is Ganicalt, the sword of death.

“The stars cooperate with me in overcoming trials. As long as I keep the constraints, the star gives a corresponding force. “I definitely said that.”

But, said Kyle.

“I overcame the ordeal with only my own strength. “If you had been watching, you would have known, right?”

To combat the sword of death, Kyle accumulated starlight for a long time. However, at the moment of death, the stars were of no help. Kyle faced death solely with his own strength and skills.

“The star also did not properly fulfill its contract.”

Isn’t that so, Kyle asked.

Jormun looks at Kyle in silence. The gaze is directed to Raniel, who is standing behind Kyle. He is a person who has earned the qualifications to be a leader like himself.

You cannot easily overlook the guide’s gaze.

“···You’re really being annoying.”

The ancient dragon sighed.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

“What on earth are you doing right? Didn’t I tell you? Please call me when you are certain. What kind of broker am I? “What on earth is this?”

Jormun realized that he had been called to a stage that was completely different from what he had imagined, and once again let out a long sigh. He then turned his head and looked at Kyle again.

“Okay, that sounds like a reasonable offer to me. “If the conditions for change are reasonable, I will accept it.”

The stars twinkled above Jormun’s head, but Jormun said, ‘Just shut up.’ He muttered, dismissing the voice of the star.

“Say what you wish.”

“It is okay to take the initiative of the body. However, I would like to take control of the ceremony.”

“That is a reasonable request. Okay, let’s accept it.”

Without saying that, Jormun smoothed his chin.

“Wait, it’s all about emotions too?”

“entire.”

“I guess that’s what you asked for.”

Kyle laughed bitterly.

“Does not matter. entire.”

Fear, anger, regret.

If you castrate all your emotions, you will be able to become a superhuman like Raniel. There was a time when I thought that way. But not now. Kyle smiled and nodded his head reassuringly.

“If you want, I’ll let you do it.”

Jormun made a shocked expression.

Then he tapped the ground with his cane. The passage to the Ancient Dragon City was opened. What you see beyond it is the throne room of the royal castle where Jormun resides.

“We’ll do the rest of the talking inside. I also have something else to say to you. “Please come in.”

The ancient dragon passes through the passage first.

Kyle started to walk after him, but instead looked back. There, Raniel is looking at him with suspicious eyes.

“Raniel.”

Kyle said as he looked at his friend who had changed.

“I’ll see you again later. then···.”

Kyle, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth again.

“I think I can apologize to you then.”

“What kind of person delays apologizing?”

“well. “There is a wizard who punched him in the face and said he was sorry, but there may also be someone out there who delays his apology.”

A stinging Raniel twitched his shoulders.

“…Are you not going to tell me what kind of contract you signed?”

“I’ll tell you about that then too.”

“You have a lot to hide, bastard.”

Leaving behind the grumbling Raniel, Kyle passes through the door. Looking at the back, Raniel considered whether he should follow, but then sighed and stood up, thinking that there should be at least one person who would stay behind to report the situation.

“Hey, Sarah…?”

Just as Raniel was about to leave, taking Sarah with him. Whoosh, someone passed by Raniel. Pink hair blocked Raniel’s vision.

“Where are you going alone?”

The moment the passage Kyle passed through was about to close, Sarah jumped into the passage. The passage that had swallowed Sarah disappeared without a trace.

“···what?”

This happened without any chance to stop it.

I feel like I’ve been ostracized. After standing there blankly for a while, Raniel turned her head at the sound of people.

“···Were you there?”

“It was there a while ago.”

Shrine, Remia.

She blinked and looked at Raniel.

“By the way, human.”

“what.”

“Why does everyone call you Raniel? Are you Raniel? “Looking at what Kyle is doing, it seems right.”

Raniel opened his mouth slightly.

“Tap,” Raniel lightly slapped my forehead.

“You’re asking really quickly, right?”

3.

Belnoa saw.

Chloe raised the starlight to fight against the flying curse dragon. Her knights flocked to her to protect her. And, Belnoa saw a scene where all that effort was worthless.

Throwing away.

The flames emitted by the cursed dragon burned the knights.

The flame changed into a heat ray, and the converted heat ray pierced Chloe’s side.

“Chloe!”

When Belnoa arrived at Chloe after randomly dispatching the waves of ghouls, she was crawling on the floor, bleeding. Belnoir ran away, carrying her on his back.

Both fingers, and if that’s not enough, both arms. If that doesn’t work, try the broken finger again.

Putting everything he had on the scale, Belnoir ran away.

Carrying Chloe on his back, he broke through the ghoul army and escaped the curse dragon’s breath shooting from the sky. But even that has its limits.

Wow.

Belnoa, who gave everything and even twisted his own legs to twist the trajectory of the heat ray, could no longer run away. She can’t escape by crawling on the floor.

Belnoir saw Chloe lying on the floor.

He crawled across the floor and picked her up with his broken arms. Her body was cold. Chloe’s complexion was pale. Belnoir looked at his hand holding Chloe.

Soggy.

Red blood comes out.

It’s not your own blood.

It’s Chloe’s blood. The amount of bleeding was unusual. Belnoa’s fingers trembled. While all kinds of thoughts were running through his head, Chloe slowly opened her eyes.

“Bel…Noah.”

“Chloe!”

“Let go of this.”

She slowly pushed Belnoa away.

Chloe stood up unsteadily. The blood that dripped down turned the snow field red.

“Chloe, you…”

“We have to stop it.”

Chloe raised her head.

Even though she was sweating coldly, she was glaring at the cursed dragon floating in the sky. That gaze doesn’t waver. Clutching the sides of her pierced hole, Chloe traces the circuit with her quivering fingertips.

sudden.

Belnoir grabbed Chloe by the neck while she was drawing a circuit. Belnoir, standing on the ground with his broken leg, pulled Chloe down and knocked her down.

Kiiiiing!

The fired heat ray passes by the location where Chloe was standing just a moment ago. The accumulated snow has melted and evaporated, and the exposed ground is boiling.

“That one.”

Belnoir said as he knocked Chloe down.

“Are you going to deal with that?”

“···huh.”

“That thing that reacts immediately when you raise its mana? you die. “I’m really dying.”

Belnoir squeezed Chloe’s fingers as she tried to collect mana. Belnoa shouted.

“I have to run away.”

“You can’t run away.”

“I need to run away. I can’t win. “I’m no match for you.”

“Still, you have to do it.”

“I’m dying!”

Belnoa screamed.

For Belnoa, the most important value is survival. If it’s dangerous, it runs away, and if it doesn’t seem to be able to compete, it hides itself and promises the next time.

That’s Belnoa’s way.

“You can see it.”

but.

“I can hear it.”

That is not the way of a warrior.

Chloe stretched out her hand and pointed at something. There are refugees there screaming and running away. There are knights who stop the ghouls.

Their eyes naturally turn to Chloe.

I see the young warrior here.

They give you an expectant look that tells you they will do something. Chloe can’t avoid that gaze. Just like a certain warrior did in the past.

“I am···.”

Chloe pushed Belnoir away.

“Because I have to be a hero.”

Belnoa’s expression darkened.

This is the moment when he is about to scream at Chloe.

“I said the arrival would be late, but it ended up being like this.”

A voice came from somewhere.

The sound of snow being stepped on is heard. Belle Noah slowly raised her head. There stands a young man dressed in an old-style robe.

“Is it the cub of a black dragon? I heard that he was buried in the old castle, but it seems he was resurrected after all. Of course it was that crazy bitch’s doing.”

There is no pitch in the voice.

It’s a voice that shows no emotion. Belnoa had heard that voice somewhere before. A professor who stayed in Aplia under the name of Rutia.

And, Belnoa had heard of its identity.

A wizard from a ruined country.

A person who broke down the wall through madness and became a superhuman.

“I will join.”

Madman (？人）), Kelhalm.

He snapped his fingers.

Hundreds of circuits filled the area.
