Chapter 38 - Come to Think of It, Ism a Hero 6 (2/2)

“Oppa.”

“You aren’t too far off.Just a little bit more.You need to take one more step.”

“One step.. I just have to take one more step······!”

The trace energy of the demon race was slowly disappearing.As the circuitry for the demon race was sealed, a new Mana circuitry revealed itself.

It was a path that was neither human or demon.As she traveled further down the path, her Mana kept getting brighter as its constitution changed!When Artpe confirmed the changed, he unconsciously clenched his fist.

‘It’s done······!It really worked!’

“I did it, oppa!”

It was Sienna’s voice.It seemed she could also feel her curse being blocked.

In truth, he could no longer feel the energy of the Demon race within her.The only downside was the fact that he could barely feel the energy of a human from her.It was enough for her not to run afoul of the Demon King’s Innate ability!

“Kyahhhk!”

The circuitry was now complete.It passed through her entire body, and the Mana started circulating within her body at a rapid pace.It created a noisy sound that deafened everyone’s ears.

“Ooh-ahhhhhhhh!”

“Ooh-goo-goohk.”

Artpe groaned as he desperately observed what was going on.It was the method that would allow one to escape the curse that made one into a demon.The method that would allow him to properly fuck over the Demon King was being engraved into Sienna’s body in real time.

Above all things, It was a very valuable record.Maybe his reincarnation occurred, so he could learn this information!

In the next moment, a bright light was emitted from her body.

At the same time, a new information appeared in front of Artpe’s eyes.

[Sienna]

[Level : 2]

[Race : Evil Reflecter]

“Pffft.”

When he found out the name of her race, he let out a laugh.Evil Reflecter?How can such a childish and obvious name could exist for a race!Was it because she was born by rejecting the Demon race!It made him want to go find god.Artpe wanted to ask what he was thinking when he made the name.

Still, he was happy.He was unsure if he could be happier than what he was feeling right now.This really was the first step to destroy the ambitions possessed by the Demon King!

So this was it.This was why everyone wanted to become a hero!Artpe was feeling an emotion that clashed with him at a fundamental level, so he became self-absorbed in it.However, at that moment, someone tugged at his robe.Of course, it was Sienna.

“Oppa!”

“Yes, you did well.”

Artpe was breaking out in cold sweat as he smiled.He stroked her head as he comforted her.Her skin remained pale, and her hair was white too.However, her hair was lustrous.Unlike before, she was full of life energy and magical energy.

She had white skin, and white luminous hair.Sienna looked very alien, but this actually made look very charming.

She looked a little bit younger than Maetel, and the girl let out a bright and innocent smile towards her rescuer.She had met Artpe for the first time today, but the smile contained an unlimited amount of trust towards Artpe.

“Thank you, oppa”

“It’s nothing.I gained some very good data thanks to you.I should be the one thanking you.”

“Heh heh.”

From the moment Sienna started becoming a demon to the moment where she became an Evil Reflecter, he had observed and recorded everything with his Read All Creation ability.Of course, it was still impossible for him, but this record would allow him to research a method to counter the demonifying curse.He might be able to come up with a method that’ll allow him to resist against the Demon King’s ability.!

“Sienna!”

“Unni.”

Artpe let go of Artpe’s robe, and she rested herself completely on the floor.She hugged her unni, who had run towards her.

Maetel had looked on with a nervous heart.She had been sad at the thought of one more child becoming a monster.Maetel and the other children were truly relieved at the sight.

“I’m glad you are fine.”

“It is all thanks to oppa.Oppa helped me.”

“······mmmm.”

Maetel had a smile on her face.However, when she heard Sienna’s bright voice and face, she started creeping towards Artpe’s side.She grabbed his robe.There was still a smile on her face, but there was a sense of gloominess that was a small part of her expression.

“It is a relief that Sienna is fine.Right, Artpe?”

“It feels as if there is a smidge of regret in your voice, Maetel.”

“You are mistaken.I’m really happy.I want Aena and Sienna to live a happy life.At the town… Just the two of them...”

Mmm.It seemed he hadn’t been mistaken.Maetel was burning with jealousy towards a girl that was younger than her.Why was the hero wired like this!Artpe flicked Maetel’s forehead as he sighed.

Anyways, the Quest was complete.He couldn't save the children that had already been turned into monsters.However, he couldn’t be sad about the missed opportunity.He decided it was right to be thankful for those that he was able to save with his hands.When he had this thought, he suddenly felt fatigue wash over his mind.

“······ooh-ah.I want to rest.”

“Yes, Artpe.I really want to rest too.”

Artpe’s words were heartfelt.Maetel let out a bitter laugh as she agreed with him.They looked at each other, and they started giggling.Then they turned to look at the children, who were staring at them in puzzlement.

“Let’s go home.”

“No.I want to wash myself first.”

“I want to wash myself too!”

“I’m hungry!”

It seemed the fear that had gripped the children were gone thanks to Artpe’s activities.As if they had made a promise beforehand, the children started expressing their desires.Soon, the communal space descended into chaos.

At that moment, a person with the all-round ability that could grant all their wishes made her entrance!

“It doesn’t matter where or when.The Anywhere company is always with you.I am the merchant Mycenae!Please ask me for anything.I will fulfill your desires….Oh my?”

Mycenae and Artpe looked at each other.

Mycenae put on a charming smile, and Artpe laughed as he asked her a question.

“Ajumma, did you acquire the cleaning magic as I’ve requested?”
