54 – The Seed of Doubt

“You mean the ruins?”

A warrior who shows a puzzled look at my opinion of going the other way.

The guy who said with his own mouth that the World Tree is corrupt is saying, ‘Let’s stop by somewhere’, and it’s only natural that such a reaction would come out.

“There is something good to be gained there. It will be of great help for your future journey.”

I’m not lying.

Of course, the things I want to get separately account for more than half, but anyway.

“A good thing? What exactly is that?”

“Have you heard of the ancient herbicide?”

From noble mtl dot com

“No, I never heard of it.”

Seeing him looking at me with eyes that said, “What is that?

An ancient herbicide.

An item that can be said to be rat poison against plant-type enemies.

If the world tree is corrupted, monster transformation will proceed starting with the surrounding trees.

“The best way to prevent corruption of the World Tree is to be prepared in case anything goes wrong.”

“If it’s like that, it’s not that I don’t understand it, but wouldn’t the village be in danger?”

I heard that she had a monster, and I asked her if it would be okay, and in order to convince her to come, she willingly decided to release my prophecy and her pouch.

“Don’t worry about that. It was fine in the future I saw.”

“Then I’m glad.”

It’s clear that he completely trusts me now. It’s a huge improvement compared to when I first pulled out the holy sword.

Having succeeded in persuading the hero, I called for joy inside.

‘No matter how hard it is, I need to have insurance so I can bounce back in case of emergency!’

I tried to look at the cause that made me make this choice, but I gave up because the images in my dream overlapped.

‘In order to nullify that Mesgaki b*tch’s spell, I really need the dispel item from it.’

You have to hold plan B to C. Cancer. Otherwise, I’m afraid.

The hero thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Still, I think I should listen to the opinions of the party members instead of deciding on my own.”

A hero who is willing to seek opinions unlike what he had seen before in the Empire.

You are growing too.

I felt proud of myself when I saw the recent rapid growth of a warrior.

‘Yes. I have to grow up like that before I can become independent.’

While they are happy with the premonition that sooner or later they will be able to throw off their job as porters. The hero summoned the party members.

“Everyone, get together for a moment.”

As the warrior said, I told the gathered party members once again, and each of them gave their opinion.

“I agree.”

“I agree too.”

Talia and Polaris agree.

The only thing left is Reina and the hero.

Heroes will agree to anything, but they are not kids who will ignore the opinions of the minority.

After waiting for Reina’s opinion for the last time, she opened her mouth.

“I’m the opposite.”

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you saying that you are preparing for the fall of the World Tree? In that case, wouldn’t it be better to hurry up and come up with a countermeasure?”

She was taken aback for a moment to see her firm refusal, which she thought was cooperative.

‘I expected it to be disappointing, but I didn’t expect it to come out this hard.’

I began to talk softly, as if to calm her down.

“Think about it, Mr. Raina. She says she can get something useful there?”

“It’s not because I don’t trust you. But did you know how long it would take at the ruins and said that? If you’re late, isn’t it rather a betrayal of a heroine?”

I was almost crushed by her stubborn attitude, but I couldn’t back down either.

“I know the geography there, so you don’t have to worry.”

“How do you know that?”

“Yes, I can see the future.”

“Didn’t you say that on the way home that you’re not feeling well lately?”

When did you hear that again? Aren’t big ears a decoration?

I grabbed my shaken mentality for a while and decided to tell the truth as always.

“This is something I’ve known before…”

She was the kind of woman who would normally say ‘I see,’ but this time she let out a deep sigh.

“Haa… I didn’t want to talk about this.”

Then Reina suddenly opened her mouth with a serious face.

“Yes.”

From the changed expression and way of speaking, I felt intuition that it was not a simple problem.

She had been forgetting for a while. She’s Greyna when she goes into battle.

Her piercing gaze was only on me.

“I’d like to believe you’re not hiding information from us.”

“Reina!”

A warrior who mediates between me and Reina, perhaps feeling the atmosphere getting more and more serious.

“How much help he’s helped so far, what are you talking about!”

“That’s an undeniable fact. I also depend on him for a lot.”

“If you know that, why are you doing this?”

Then, for Reina, she asked a rather sharp question.

“Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“…What?”

“Everyone should know that he said that the future he sees is very fragmentary and emerges suddenly. Even so, he knew it in great detail. Not long ago, during Dura, and even before that.”

“Sister, that’s…”

Polaris is restless and doesn’t know what rhythm to play.

After catching her breath, Reina continued.

“Isn’t it like spilling something you already know?”

She felt her heart sink at those words.

‘I knew and pretended not to know… That Raina?’

I was naturally nervous at the unexpected appearance of her, who thought that she was just a pak-head except for her battles.

Regardless, Reina’s words, once opened, did not stop.

“Don’t you guys already know? I’m about to notice, but it doesn’t make sense that you guys didn’t know until now.”

“Yeah, but…”

‘Are you even a warrior?’

For me, who had only thought of it as a perfect crime, it was a reaction like a thunderbolt.

“Reina-san, that’s…”

She thinks it’s time to hit her potion once again, but she hastily opens her mouth.

“Don’t try to trick me.”

Her cool eyes, which silenced my mouth that I was trying to make an excuse at once, stared at me as if they were piercing.

As if asking for the truth.

I wonder if the 4th dimension prophecy bag I took out whenever I was in a hurry was too obvious.

‘I should have done it in moderation. As long as it’s like this….’

The time when I tried to do something when I was cornered.

“Hey.”

Eventually, even Thalia began to engage in this argument.

“I know you’re sensitive about the world tree, but do it in moderation.”

It’s as if it’s not just the one in charge. She comes out strong from the start.

“The number of worlds is important, of course, but it’s not the only reason!”

“So what are you trying to say! You’re saying we’re going to abandon the porter now?!”

That’s a bit tempting. If you guys can do well on your own, thank you for me.

However, Raina also showed a strong reaction as if she couldn’t just pass that word over.

“That’s not what I meant!”

Rather, Talia flinched at the sight of her raising her voice.

Having calmed down her excitement, she began to speak her mind.

“I also trust him. It is true that he has contributed so far and I want to be with him on the journey ahead.”

“Then there’s no reason for this!”

Most of the situations she used in groups like that led to bad endings, so I was naturally nervous.

“I really want to ask! Why are you guys just watching!”

Everyone thought of the Cracker Doll for a moment, but I could understand why she came out like this after the next words.

“250 Years. That’s the years I’ve lived. I’ve seen with these two eyes what kind of consequences a small doubt brings later! I mean, you’re going to lose!”

“Chit…”

No matter how selfish Talia was, she couldn’t refute what she said by putting her years at the forefront.

-Wack.

Having dealt with all her intruders, she looked at me and asked.

“Are we still unreliable in your eyes?”

– Tak.

As she approached, I unknowingly hit her back.

“If not, what are you hiding from us?”

Let’s look around. The rest of the party members are also unable to step forward.

Maybe it’s because she’s doing this and her reasoning makes sense.

In the meantime, Reina was getting closer and closer to me.

“As a party member, I must hear. What is the reason for hiding it from us?”

Faced with a situation where I couldn’t retreat, I looked in the direction of the hero.

‘The Holy Sword… I didn’t take it out.’

“Haa…”

After sighing, I had no choice but to confess.

“Mr. Raina, you’re right.”

I expected a day like this to come someday, but I can’t help it.

“I was hiding most of my future from you guys.”
