Chapter 91: [Short Story] A Town Where I Don't Belong, Part Four

Zect's POV

When I'm alone and I think about it in the inn... I don't know what I wanted to do.

What was I trying to do?

"Hero (Yuusha)" is the ticket to everything.

That's what I was told.

I can get money, women, and status.

That's what they said... except for Ceres.

But only if I won... Only if I kept winning.

However, if I lose in the middle, I lose my life, not just all my rights.

So, I must come to my senses... there's no such thing as a stupid job like I did to Ceres.

That stupid act is like a child...

Really... If I had thought more carefully... maybe things would have turned out differently.

Still, what should I do now?

I can't come to a conclusion yet.

* * *

The next morning, I went to Uncle Shuuto.

"Uncle Shuuto, it's been a long time."

"Oh, Zect-kun, isn't it? You must have been in a lot of trouble."

Because of the seriousness of the situation, no one in this world doesn't know about my blunder.

And like other, Uncle Shuuto is also remarried, and there was a beautiful woman beside him, looking like a young lady... but it was a bit disturbing.

Maybe I could have done the same thing because I was a Hero (Yuusha).

But only if I spent everything I had on my 'home' and my 'loved ones'.

However, Ceres is not extravagant at all when it comes to himself.

It is as if he is giving 'everything' to his hometown, his wife, and his childhood friends.

From this basis, I can't compete with such a person.

Anyway, I'm glad I left my three childhood friends to him...

If Ceres marries them, they'll compare me to the devoted ceres.

After all, I'm sure, I'll fall apart soon.

And I don't think any woman could resist him.

Really... I can't beat him. He's such a badass, he was angry with the church and the king for my sake... even after I expelled him... and he fought against the dreadful Mammon for me.

Maybe I'm one of the things he cares about.

That's why he's allowed me to be so selfish.

Still, this place isn't the home I know.

Although it's a sweet home... and my friend Ceres is nice to me.

But if I stay here or with Ceres, it will ruin things.

I'll have to leave.

So, I say goodbye to my father and the others and I leave town.

Maybe I'll go to the Empire...

After all, I'll have more time and freedom if I don't fight the Demon King.

I can take my time and find something to do.
