The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

98 – Retrograde

“Now why did I tell you to kill Bella… Do you understand? This isn’t just for me. If such a person becomes emperor… Everyone will be unhappy.”

At Ellie’s words, I sighed and stood up. The urge to see if Luna was really being bullied crept up to the bottom of my emotions, but I didn’t forget that what I had to deal with was Ellie in front of her eyes.

For me, there is a restriction of Gias called Eli’s faith. I had to convince Ellie before the restrictions were activated.

“I fully understand what you mean. But my answer is the same. I can’t kill Bella.”

At my words, Ellie’s watery gaze wavered. I took a step closer to Ellie, who looked at me with her disbelief eyes.

“Bell, even though Bella did that to me and Luna… ?”

“Yes.”

I spoke to the confused Ellie with an expression that she did not understand my answer.

“Ellie, from now on, if I’m wrong, tell me I’m wrong.”

Let’s start with those words.

“Is it really a friend between asking her friend to kill someone else?”

“That, that… !”

As if she had been stabbed with a knife, Ellie wriggled her body greatly and was very embarrassed. She stuttered her words, wondering if she was going to make an excuse for herself. Eventually, she hung her head helplessly.

Her body trembled, and her heart, which had been beating like crazy, calmed down at the sight of Ellie, who seemed to be in danger somewhere. She feels as if she has a long-awaited meal in front of her at a restaurant.

The loneliness of being alone at the academy. The sadness of having someone you thought of as a friend turn your back on. And anger at Bella for creating the situation. They made her Ellie lose her temper.

“I have grown tremendously in the academy for half a year. As you said, unlike the past where magic would have been knocked out at once, now I’ve grown to the point where I’m second in the first year at the academy.”

In front of Ellie, who bowed her head, she started talking to herself.

“You said this to me before. You will always be by my side Forget all the sad memories and sad relationships. To start a new life at the academy… Whatever you are, you will consider me a friend for life. So i tried Compared to her older brother, who was the top of her grade, she was ignored and ignored, and did not give up even when she fell behind. Because I wanted to forget the past where I gave up because of my inferiority complex and live a new life as you said.”

As my words continued, Ellie’s shoulders trembled. I could see that her hands gripping her skirt trembled slightly, but I added in a slightly colder voice.

“I was able to change like this because I believed in what you said and worked hard.”

At my half-truthful words, Ellie shed tears and looked at me for a moment with a sad expression.

“Jin, I was serious. Really I wish you well….”

“I know. That you were sincere.”

At my answer, Ellie gave a slightly relieved expression. She was afraid that even her own sincerity would be questioned by me.

Now she seemed to know why Ellie asked me if she still wanted to own herself.

Ellie is in despair of loneliness, and she is struggling.

She would have wanted to lean on something, and she would have thought of me who was always by her side.

With anticipation that if you wait a bit, it will come back to you.

Thinking that far, I thought that this situation could be easily resolved.

A small shake was enough to defeat the already empty Jenga.

“But now I am confused. You who ask me to kill people… Are you really on my side? I wonder if they were friends with her in the past.”

As if accusing him, he glared at Ellie and said.

“What does that mean? Are you friends with her? ?”

I sighed as if I was suppressing my anger and replied to Ellie, who looked at me with an expression that looked like she was going to collapse at any moment.

“You used my feelings comfortably by saying you were nice. If I hear that, you know I won’t be able to refuse your request.”

Ellie shook her head slightly, as if in denial.

“That… !”

Meeting her gaze, Ellie couldn’t finish her words, and she lowered her head again. Her tears dripped to the floor.

As if comforting, I took Ellie into her arms and silently brushed her back. At that action, Ellie shed more sorrowful tears.

“That you had a hard time because of Bella. I fully understand, and I can sympathize with your anger. But if I have to kill Bella for the fact that the unfortunate memories of my past are gone and for bothering the girl she likes… I will never be able to forgive you for taking advantage of my feelings by saying you were nice all your life.”

Ellie, held in her arms, staggered as if her legs were losing her strength. I hugged her around the waist to support her center of gravity, and Ellie leaned weakly against me.

Even with the death of her childhood friend Ross, Ellie was shocked and collapsed. Although she has the talent of a genius, she is still an academy freshman who can’t handle much.

Hearing the intermittent small moans, I pushed Ellie further into her corner.

“You want me to kill Bella and never forgive you?”

“Oh no!”

Ellie answered like she had a seizure and looked up at me. Watching her tear-soaked obsidian eyes shake with anxiety, he asked in a whisper.

“Ellie, I am no longer the nice Ross. If I want something, I’m a bad guy who will take care of it even if I’m selfish. But I just wanted to be nice to you. That’s why I confessed my mistakes to you that no one would know if I kept my mouth shut… Because I couldn’t betray you who always said you were on my side.”

Ellie vomited out her words in a stammering voice, her body shaking.

“I, I, that, that…” I didn’t mean to do this… Mi sorry me, i….”

Seeing that Ellie was clearly in panic, I silently took her into her arms and stroked her hair as if to comfort her.

I could feel Ellie’s hand trembling as she grabbed my waist. He gently wrapped his arms around her trembling shoulders and whispered comfortingly in a small voice.

“Ellie, do you want to lose me just because of Bella?”

Ellie, who was being held, finally sat down. I looked out the window at Ellie, who covered her face with her hands and couldn’t hold back her tears.

As if a short break was given before the next game, a muffled voice came through the window rather than shouts.

I didn’t intentionally comfort Ellie, and I passed the time in silence. The bigger the shaking, the easier it was to collapse.

She seemed to have lost her strength from crying, so she knelt down and silently hugged Ellie as the sobs got smaller and smaller.

Seeing Ellie strongly hugging me as if she didn’t want to let go of me without resisting my actions, I felt very small.

She twisted the corner of her mouth.

“Ellie, I will always be by your side. Like you said, we can’t be lovers because we have different minds in our hearts, but you were the only one who helped me endure until now.”

The words Ellie needs the most right now. And the words she wanted to hear the most finally broke the shaking woman.

“Me, sorry Ross… I, I was wrong…. He’s a friend, but he’s a precious friend… ! I, heh heh heh… ….”

Seeing Ellie burying her face in my neck, breathing heavily and shaking her body in panic, something soared from the bottom of my emotions.

It was her instinct to possess Ellie that reacted violently to pierce the indomitable courage that kept her sanity.

But she had no intention of being driven by her instincts. Ross’s story has already begun to be rewritten. The messiah club that does not appear in the novel, and even the lovely lover Luna.

Ross in the novel is different from me now.

Therefore, it was necessary to discard the old things or to reestablish the relationship.

My hand stroked Ellie’s slightly trembling shoulder. She was taken aback by the action and shuddered as if in surprise, but she showed no sign of resistance. Her body and mind were exhausted.

“Ellie, trust me. Bella will definitely be unhappy. She’ll be punished for what she did to you, and she’ll make you fall on your knees and apologize. You will find your friends again as before, and you will be a lover by the side of Roel whom you love. And I will always be by your side.”

Ellie couldn’t answer my words. As if she was moaning, she could only let out excited breaths along with tears. As if he had heard what I said correctly, the arm holding me grew stronger.

There was no way that quick-witted Ellie would not know that now she was the only person she could rely on. That makes her even more unwilling to let go. Just like I, who was once shunned by everyone, clung to Ellie, who was the only one who gave me warmth….

“Ellie, will you trust me?”

Ellie raised her head and looked at me. I smiled softly and made eye contact.

It was a question with a fixed answer. Because not trusting me meant being alone again.

Finally, Ellie weakly nodded her head.

“Yes, I believe… ….”
