Vol 2 Chapter 8 (1/2)

The Hero and the Wish

I bid farewell to the elderly lady, and I met up with Carolina and the others

Carolina ordered stewed vegetables and fried fish; Little Elan ordered sweet curry

Jinwen poked out his head from Carolina’s chest pocket to tear off a strip of fried fish He sprinkled his fish with salt and ate it After he sed it, he continued to lick his fingers

Carolina put ground pepper on her fish to eat

This is the kind of cooking that Zhai He could do, but I could not I cannot make food, so while on the road, Carolina and the others would try their hand at s that were extremely spicy

“Ah~~As expected, good food is the best” said everybody’s expressions

Because I had finished eating, I sat at the table without saying a word

“Gulp We heard from the innkeeper that the royal family is on tour”

Suddenly, Carolina spoke

“Is that so”

I said lightly, like a soft breeze and pale clouds

“We understand what you’re going through, Leon”

My ears rang with Mademoiselle Phantom’s voice

Although I could not see her, I could hear her voice This was probably just sohost could do

I shi+fted aze unnaturally

Anyway, I’m the one to blame

They were probably going to say “I didn’t think you were that kind of person, Leon” or so like that Afterall, their most respected person, Zhai He, used this body that was so hated by people When they found out about that, they definitely wouldn’t be pleased with me

After all, those things were all my fault

Thus, even if they criticized ize

Even if there is no use in apologizing

“I never thought that you would protect a demon, Leon You’re very alike with Zhai He in that respect”

Carolina tore of the fin of the fish while speaking

“Leon, do you really want to see that princess?”

Elan looked at me with curiosity

No

Nonononono

Why’d she say it like that

Shouldn’t that normally be said sarcastically?

“Sorry, Leon”

Just as I thought this, Madeize

“I had said sos too you before We are all sorry When ere unable to accept Zhai He’s disappearance, we should not have taken it out on you We forgot that there is still so for you”
