55 – Where do you want to go?

Right after he finished speaking.

The party members became visibly agitated.

“Mr. Porter, is that true?”

“Porter…!”

“Brother…”

It hasn’t been long since he joined, but the fact that his colleagues who have overcome quite a few adversities together has been hiding information from them all this time is shocking, so everyone seems confused.

“Why did you do that!”

Among them, Raina, who was responsible for creating this situation, showed a particularly emotional appearance.

-Gasp.

Grabbing the porter roughly by the collar, she turned to him and asked why.

“Why didn’t you tell us! Did you think we wouldn’t even see you as an ally anymore if we knew everything!”

Is the feeling she felt was a sense of betrayal that she had been deceived, or was it the sadness of being left alone?

“Aren’t you asking if we’ve seen only that much in your eyes!”

Then he poured out the emotions he had been suppressing.

“You know you don’t want to say me!”

As her man’s voice filled with her 50,000 emotions rang out, she and the other party members who were holding her by the collar couldn’t help but catch her breath.

That would be too. His eyes that made everyone quiet resentment, anger, sadness, etc. Because it raised the question of whether a single human being could contain that.

He opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

“The futures I saw… Do you really think there were only good futures out of them?”

The porter’s next words were about why he had to hide it until now.

“Seeing what used to be villages and cities burning, people screaming and dying… You might be all right. But not me! What could I, a normal human being, have done without going crazy after seeing that!”

“…”

No one present could open their mouths.

Because he always smiled and said it was okay, I thought there was nothing wrong with him.

The porter continued with a tone of sadness.

“At least… at least I didn’t want to go crazy and lose myself. Do you know what I’ve been doing to escape that terrible future…?”

“…”

“See yourself strangling yourself, or even fall from a high place!

“Stop… please stop, brother…”

Polaris almost cried, but the porter’s mouth did not stop.

“There’s nothing I haven’t done to forget that damn future!”

As the shocking facts came out of his mouth, Raina had no choice but to let go of her hand that was holding him by the collar.

“Why did I have this ability, and why did it have to be me? There was a time when I was resentful of everything. Goddess was no exception to that.”

“Brother…”

When his grievance was revealed, Polaris couldn’t help but sigh.

“For me, this ability is a curse. A curse!”

A porter who ends up crying.

It was a cry that completely changed their values, which everyone thought would want to know the future.

“Such…”

It started as a warrior.

I never thought that there would be someone worse than myself who was destined to be a hero.

“Porter….”

Talia, the lord of the tower and the archmage, also couldn’t even give her a business card compared to her unfortunate childhood.

“Brother…”

Polaris prayed for him.

Why did the she-goddess put him through such an ordeal? She’s a saint, and even herself couldn’t understand her goddess for the first time.

“…”

Raina just listened to him silently without saying anything.

The porter took a breath and spoke in a calmer tone, probably exhausted from spitting out the lumps inside.

“Still, it seemed like I was pitiful even to the Goddess, and it started to fade from one day. If she didn’t bother to think about it, it would be possible to live a normal life to some extent.”

Everyone had no choice but to avoid looking at him as he looked back at the party members and kept an eye on each one.

“After becoming a warrior party, I have once again faced those terrible futures in order to be of help to you guys.

I’m here with a feeling of atonement to correct the things I’ve been ignoring until now. Therefore… !”

His emotions, which had been escalating, were only spit out in vain at the last moment, as if he had exhausted his strength.

“Please… please don’t talk like that.”

“…”

No one could answer his earnest words.

“…Could you please leave me alone for a moment?”

After saying that, the porter trudged toward an empty place.

The party members couldn’t bear to stop him, so they just followed his disappearing back with their eyes.

-Trumbling.

The porter, far from the party members, was walking helplessly.

The porter, who had walked alone, immediately crouched down on the ground, put his arms on his knees and buried his head.

“Haa…”

Let the ground die. A sigh.

“…”

He lowered his head for a while, looked around him, and finally sat down in a comfortable position.

“Ugh… I thought I was getting caught.”

The man who seemed to have embraced all the absurdities of the world just now disappeared and returned to his usual self.

“I won’t say much about this for a while.”

It is only men who cling to the past to clear up misunderstandings there.

Real men don’t act foolishly. Make a head-on breakthrough on a new board.

I think it was a really perfect narrative.

A person who went to the brink of madness after looking into the dark future faces the memories sealed for the cause?

“Great! It’s gone.”

It was a figure worthy of a standing ovation. Of course, no such person exists.

‘No. At least they have it, right?’

I feel much more at ease now that I have successfully finished washing my identity.

I don’t have the feeling that I upset the atmosphere more than necessary, but it was an inevitable choice if I wanted to erase my doubts about me and visit the ruins.

‘Anyway, I didn’t expect a dwarf to come this far. Was the world number a seizure button?’

I expected that the day of suspicion would come someday, but I didn’t know it would be Raina.

‘There is a point in what Reina said. It would be nice if I could go ahead and stop it, but….’

What if that doesn’t work? As a result of rolling so far, there is no such thing as absolute. I don’t know anything else, but I can’t avoid the big event in the south.

“Anyway, I got over the hurdle with this.”

Now that I know about my past, which I have never experienced, I believe that everyone will willingly cooperate this time.

“I think it’s too early to go back now… Shall we wait a little longer?”

He calmly got up to find a more comfortable seat.

Unexpected what was going on in his absence.

***

After the porter left.

All of the party members who remained there were putting on bad faces.

“That’s why you’ve been saying or doing strange things from time to time…”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn at Polaris’ words spoken through the silence.

They thought he was an eccentric because they had heard him muttering strange things from time to time, but after hearing the reason today, they understood why he behaved like that.

“It was crazy. We didn’t even know that…”

His intention to escape the situation was different.

“Why did you say that!”

Frustrated, Talia turns her anger on the person who caused this situation.

“As you said, we felt that porters were strange! We thought there must be a reason, so we didn’t mention it!”

“Talia…”

Her hero tried to stop her like that.

“Don’t stop, hero! World tree? Yes, it’s important. But to me, he’s more important!”

“…”

“What are you going to do now! If I say that I can’t go out with you anymore, are you going to take responsibility!”

Of course, even if he said no, she had no intention of letting go, and not only she, but everyone there had their own plans.

‘If I tell Her Majesty the position of advisor to the Imperial Family….’

‘Should I ask for the priesthood of the Holy Kingdom?’

‘Grandpas would be eager to take her with them if they knew about her magical abilities.’

While they were engrossed in their own plans, Raina, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth.

“You’re right. It’s the seed I planted, so I’m responsible for it.”

“What?”

“It’s all my fault that he ended up like this. So I’ll take care of it.”

The three people who were told that they would really take on all the responsibility were in an emergency.

“Reina.”

Again, it started with a hero.

“The party member’s faults are my responsibility as the leader. So you don’t have to step out.”

The warrior who was upright in the past began to wield his position, as if he had been stained by the porter before he knew it.

As one person got out of the way, Polaris also hurriedly expressed his opinion.

“Forgiveness is a virtue of the Goddess Church. I, who follow its teachings, bear the burden here.”

Polaris joins the battlefield, albeit late.

‘What should I do?!’

Talia, left alone in her sleep, became impatient.

As a mage tower, there is no reason to present anything.

It was the Mage Tower that I was always proud of, but now I was resentful that I had only studied magic.

-Trumbling.

“Porter!”

He, the cause of all this, appeared again with his shoulders drooping.

“Sorry porter. Have you been through a lot? Talia will give you a hug.”

-Slap.

She had no reason to intervene, but she quickly hit her head.

“…Please stay away.”

Unfortunately, the timing was not good for her.

“Huh…?”

Talia looked shocked as if she didn’t know that she would push herself away.

‘It’s still awkward, but why are you clinging to it?’

As she clung to her, she remembered the dream she had yesterday and pushed it all away.

Leaving her hardened Talia behind, she sang her national anthem in her heart while calming the black flame dragon that opened her eyes. Her laggards approached him.

“Porter, are you all right?”

“It’s still not good, but it’s better than before.”

A porter who makes unintentional noises in order to get as many mulberries as possible.

“Thank you again for all the sacrifices you have made so far.”

– Nod.

“…Hero?”

I was taken aback by the hero’s sudden stoop, but it wasn’t over yet.

“Brother, can I put you on your knee?”

“Yes?”

I knew that a certain level of sympathy would form, but I was taken aback by the unexpected kindness.

“Yes.”

Let’s look back at the sound of Raina calling.

“I’m sorry…”

I saw Reina apologizing with her ears drooping.

Could this be lethal?

“I never dreamed you were going through such a hard time. It’s all my fault.”

Her sincere apology made my conscience tickle a little, but since she had already been suspected once, it was necessary to maintain this atmosphere even a little longer until the next time she sprayed her medicine.

“No. If I had been more specific, none of this would have happened.”

Could that have been the catalyst?

-Gasp.

“No! It’s all because of my ignorance! Please give me a chance to ask for forgiveness!”

Raina grabs my hand out of nowhere.

“Reina! This is my responsibility as the leader!”

“No Sister! Forgiveness is my mission!”

“Why are you only doing this to me!”

A great welcome party with Talia, who came to her senses before she knew it.

‘What is this? What’s the situation?’

When we faced a situation where each claimed that it was their fault, they stopped feeling dizzy.

“How can I blame you for my mistake!”

“I wonder if the imperial advisory seat would be at least comfortable.”

“A priest from the Holy Kingdom is more suitable.”

“It’s a magic tower!”

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen such a sharply divided opinion.’

I was taken aback for a moment, but decided to calmly analyze the situation.

‘From what I’ve heard, it seems like everyone is trying to siphon it off….’

I thought I could get out of here if I did well, so I made a decision.

“Everyone, please stop, now that I know roughly what the atmosphere is like.”

The air suddenly changed in an instant at the words that came out of my mouth.

As soon as I was assigned to the base, the party members looked at me with eyes that reminded me of seniors aiming for ace-class recruits who were known from the training center.

In a situation where winners and losers are divided, I opened my mouth.

“I…”
