Vol 3 Chapter 23 (2/2)
The spokeswo the collective chief’s words
“W, what is it? Tellto feel uneasy”
The spokeswo her
“It seems that you and the one over there are protected by a hero, accompanied by the old demon lordIt’s unknown if you’ve already come across them or if you’ll meet them in the future”
“──Hero?”
Anjie tilted her head to the side while Livia seemed a little confused
“Such people appear in tales told to young boysHowever, I haven’t corand person yet”
“Same for meI mean, who’s the demon lord?”
“If you don’t know, then I don’t know either, Anjie”
The two talked to each other about it, but it seemed that they didn’t know anyone ould be that hero
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
Again──there’s that de about the old deht?
Could it be that? Did the collective chief use up all of her strength already? The village chief did say that her accuracy had diht?
Actually, if there’s a hero, then show up already
Save this otoht now
While we’re at it, save me tooI’m serious, someone help me
“If the collective chief is tired, then how about we just call it a day?”
The spokeswoman stopped me
“I, it’s fineErr, ill proceed with those two together”
Perhaps this person also thinks that soe
Amidst the odd atmosphere, we listened
“You two have fates that are intertwined in a complex way, ones that are far deviate fro a burden that should nor to someone else”
Livia was puzzled
“U, um, I suppose I did receive help when I needed it”
“IndeedThe both of you have so to rely on”
Anjie turned towards h”
The spokeswoman was troubled
“It appears that it’s too complicated for even the collective chief to see intoHowever, it seems that she can see that you two are in the vicinity of a hero’s protection”
Both Anjie and Livia glanced at me
“Hero, you say?”
“Could it be that the hero──”
Noticing their glances, I denied their suspicions, naturally
“No, it’s not ry
“Obviously notYou’re just ait s, Livia asked the collective chief a request in a voice louder than usual
“Um──please look into Leon’s fortune as well!”
Anjie did the same
“P, pleaseWouldn’t he feel left out if you didn’t look into his fortune? It’s not like I’ that everyone should have a part in!”
The collective chief looked at me
“Collective Chief, if you’re tired, then it’s fine for you to restEven if you look at”
The collective chief straightened herself in front of h her voice was hoarse, she seehted
──Don’t push yourself, old ladyDoesn’t itbad?
“Thank you for saving the ‘Fan Collective’You seem to be a very kind one”
Marie’s and Hertrude’s eyes widened in surprise towards the collective chief’s words
──Do they have a co? I don’tthat aside, this is the first time I heard the name of this collective, Fan
“My divinations cannot see into your futureHowever, one day──you will lose so important──harsh──the──」
What she toldto hear
I whispered in a hushed voice
“C, Collective Chief? E, err, I’d like another go at that fortune~──”
When I earnestly requested for another divination, the collective chief remained silent
“Huh? Collective Chief?”
The spokeswoman supported the collective chief
“It seeuedShe has fallen asleep”
I stood up and grabbed the collective chief’s shoulders
“Wait! I beg of you, open your eyes! Please, tellominous like that and then fall asleep!”
Anjie and Livia pulled me away from the collective chief
“Leon, how about we end this?”
“Treating an elderly person with disrespect is a big ‘no!'”
I know that, but I don’t want to accept what I heard
I will not accept it!
Marie and Hertrude looked at ht”
“IndeedHow pitiful”
Marie and Hertrude grinned while callingthat Marie was like this, but it seems that Hertrude indeed has a wicked nature too
“I don’t want this! I de,in displeasure
[You see that you didn’t believe in fortune-telling]
“You’re being noisy! nobody would want this kind of fortune!”
This isn’t a mere matter of whethermy life in ease, I won’t accept this fortune!
Iimportant? Like what?!
