Chapter 350 Ill Just Push my Way Through (1/2)

She won’t let me see Dr. Vier. She won’t let me go any further……. As Neun-san said these to me, she wasn’t in a battle stance, nor was she wearing her helmet…… She had her Japanese katana at her side, and placed three fingers of both her hands on the ground.

[What are you……?]

[I’m begging you, Kaito-san. Please don’t get involved in this matter anymore.]

Bowing her head on a dogeza, Neun-san pleaded in a sad sounding voice for me to stay out of it.

Of course, that wouldn’t convince me to just say, “Okay, I see.” but I couldn’t say a word in front of her pleading figure as she rubbed her head on the ground.

[……Can I ask why?]

[……If you were to talk to Vier…… She’d be deeply hurt.]

[……What do you mean?]

[You’re the one who saved Kuromu-sama…… For that, I am truly grateful. But at that same time…… “You’re the one who has accomplished what Vier couldn’t”.]

When I was told that, I couldn’t think of any words to refute. It’s not that I was trying to save Kuro because I wanted to save her. Even so, in the end, I was able to free her from the curse she had been for a long time.

I think that what I did would be something splendid for people close to Kuro but…… I see, for Dr. Vier…… My existence also shows her how powerless she is……

[……Vier has always been suffering…… for hundreds of years already. With tears streaming down her face, she apologized to the now-deceased victims and continued to push herself to atone for her actions.]

[………………….]

[Vier should have been forgiven by now. And yet, she still won’t leave the path of redemption. Vier won’t ever forgive herself forever. She will continue to suffer…… So, please don’t corner Vier any further. Please, just leave her alone.]

[………………….]

“I walked away from the street where the church was located”, not knowing what to expect.

I can’t stop thinking about the exchange I had with Neun-san earlier.

……Perhaps, I was naive in my outlook.

I thought that if I could successfully persuade Dr. Vier to see Kuro…… that would solve the problem.

However, that would certainly hurt Dr. Vier a lot. There’s even a possibility that she would fall into even deeper suffering than she is now.

I want to solve this matter as amicably as possible. However, Neun-san stood in front of me. If I tried to contact Dr. Vier, it would be inevitable that I would clash with Dr. Vier…… and there’d be no way that this could be solved peacefully.

Isn’t this enough already? I’m just an outsider anyway, and wanting Dr. Vier and Kuro to meet just because of my selfishness and for my own self-satisfaction, wasn’t it?

Whether it’s Kuro or Dr. Vier…… Both of them said that they can’t meet each other, so there’s no need to stick my head in it.

I know I should just give up…… and yet. D*mn it…… Why is it that I am still feeling so bothered?

I really don’t know what to do anymore……

[Yes! Here’s your “Hyperspice Cookies”, Thank you for your patronage~~]

[……Hmm.]

As I was trudging with my head down, I heard such a voice and reflexively looked up.

Thereupon, I made eye contact with someone I recognized…… and the other person’s face twisted in utter displeasure.

She’s my acquaintance, and yet, she’s reacting to my presence so harshly…… She’s definitely the God of Disasters that I knew from my previous visit to the Hydra Kingdom…… It was Shea-san.

[……Shea-san.]

[……Tsk.]

She just relentlessly clicked her tongue in front of me.

Shea-san then glared at me and with an irritated tone, she spoke.

[……What’s with that hopeless look on your face…… It’s irritating to look at. If you have a reason for that, say it…… It’ll probably be just something stupid, but I’ll listen.]

[……………….]

Her voice sounded angry but…… arehh? The words she just said, couldn’t it be interpreted as her saying “You don’t look so good, is something the matter? You can consult me about it, you know?”, or something like that?

H- Her kindness is still as incomprehensible as usual……

[E- Errr…… Well then, would it be alright to consult you about something?]

[……Tsk.]

[……Eh? Ah, no, I didn’t mean to impose on you……]

[What are you saying, just get your ass moving. There’s a bench in the plaza over there…… I don’t have much time. Make it quick.]

U- Unnn. Even though she complains about all sorts of things, it seems like she would still listen to me.

Shea-san brought me to a bench in a nearby plaza, and I sat down side by side with her…… And then, I started talking about the situation.

I wasn’t sure how much Shea-san knew, so I started off by telling her something about “a doctor named Dr. Vier” to make it sound ambiguous. Upon hearing this, she replied “Ahh, you’re talking about the former Demon Lord huh.”, so I assumed that Shea-san knew about what was going on and decided to tell her everything.

I told Shea-san about Dr. Vier, Kuro, Neun-san…… and about how I don’t know what to do.

After I finished telling her everything…… Shea-san looked extremely bored.

[……Are you an idiot? The First Hero is an extremely large idiot already, but you’re even worse than her.]
