༺ Burning Hatred ༻

“Well, I mean…”

“Really? Wow…”

Despite the sun having already set, a small picnic was being held near the orientation site on the roadside.

“…”

Brought along with Glare to the picnic, Roswyn sat idly on the mat, observing the people there.

“Hahaha…”

“Phfft, pff…”

The students sitting on the mat were laughing and chatting merrily.

‘This is… wrong…’

Roswyn muttered to herself, watching the scene unfold.

‘It’s not just wrong… It’s terribly wrong…’

The scene of freshmen students and members of the Hero Party chatting was deceptively peaceful, but Roswyn knew how wrong it was.

Because the person eating sandwiches among the students was none other than the Demon King.

“I should have made more sandwiches if I knew I’d be sharing with so many people…”

She tried to assault the Hero, and tried to kill him.

The Demon King, who would set the world on fire, was now leisurely sharing sandwiches with the students pretending to be the Hero.

Looking stunned by the disparity of the situation, Roswyn turned her gaze slowly to the students.

“No, it’s enough for me!”

“It’s really delicious, this is the best.”

Faces she knows very well cinto her vision.

The Horizon sisters, the Count’s daughter who had visited her guild a few times, the woman’s distant relatives, and so on.

There was also the coy-looking girl who was supposed to be the representative of the commoners, and the recently demoted Vener.

Significant figures in the empire, all gathered in one place.

“By the way, Frey is still the same.”

Roswyn flinched when someone brought up Frey in their conversation.

“He hasn’t changed since he was a child.”

Count Justiano’s daughter said indifferently, heating up the atmosphere.

“That bastard… I’m going to kill him. Definitely…”

The Horizon family’s second daughter, who was eating a sandwich, muttered while tightly clenching her fists.

“…”

The eldest daughter bowed her head deeply at the stime.

The black slave’s seal on her arm created a jarring contrast with her beautiful elven features.

“Branding an elf with a slave’s seal… While knowing full well what it means…”

Seeing her always confident sister bow her head with a disgraced expression as she bore the mark of her race’s shon her arm, the second daughter muttered in anger.

“Stop it, Lenya.”

“But sister…”

The older sister raised her head and cut her off.

“I’m already branded… We just have to try again, as many times as needed.”

“Sister…”

“We’ll make him regret his words. Just watch.”

Her beautiful face was trembling with extrhatred under the moonlight.

“Hey, excuse me…”

Roswyn, who had been watching in silence, interrupted their conversation with a pale face.

“Uhm, y-you… can’t kill him.”

Everyone momentarily fell silent as she said this.

“I-I mean…”

As Roswyn began to stammer, everyone’s faces started to frown slightly.

‘Frey is… the Hero!!’

Looking at them, Roswyn shouted inwardly.

‘He’s the Hero who will save this world!!!’

Now, she knew the whole truth.

‘So stop…’

The ‘Truth of the World’ section had revealed the secrets of this world and all the horrendous tribulations Frey had endured.

And why he had shouldered those hardships.

‘Stop it… Before it’s too late…!’

And recently, she was beginning to vaguely understand what her recurring ‘nightmares’ meant.

‘Please…’

The image of herself dyed in silver and going mad flickered before her eyes.

“Excuse me, Miss Roswyn?”

“Ugh, ugh…”

However, Roswyn’s cries merely echoed in her own mind.

The helper system, which had once severely burned her, was now preventing her from revealing the truth about Frey.

“F-Frey is monopolizing the knowledge, right? S-So… we can’t kill him. We need to figure out how to defeat the Demon King, right?”

Thus, she resorted to mentioning the knowledge Frey possessed as the next best option.

“Indeed, we can’t touch Frey because of that information…”

“Is there no way to decipher the prophecy? Or how to deceive Frey and steal that information…”

‘You’re missing the point…!”

But as the conversation took a strange turn, Roswyn shrieked.

“I know a way, would you like to hear it?”

“…What?”

As Roswyn repeated her futile pleas, she clenched her lips tightly when Alice quietly approached the Horizon sisters.

‘No, stop it…’

Alice, the girl who had visited her guild a few times.

“Giveall the information you have about Frey.”

“Hmm… That’s easy.”

“Giveinformation that has already been verified, especially information about his crimes and weaknesses.”

“That’s even easier.”

Roswyn recalled the conversation from a few months ago, and she was slowly engulfed in fear.

“It’sagain… I did it again…”

She realized she had handed over incriminating information about Frey, giving the verification they needed under the assumption that Frey himself was at fault.

“Excuse me, Miss Alice?”

“Yes?”

“I-I think… I might have given you the wrong information that time…”

In a panic, Roswyn grabbed Alice’s arm and tried to talk to her.

“Ah, thank you, Miss Roswyn. The information you gave was really useful.”

It was already too late.

“T-That… I found out later that there might be false information. So…”

“No worries, everyone makes mistakes. It’s not like Frey’s sins are just one or two.”

Alice’s hostility towards Frey was already fixated, and Roswyn’s inability to reveal the truth about Frey meant there was no turning back.

“M-Most of it could be false… So…”

“From the article that was released recently, almost all of it seems to be true.”

“B-But… ugh.”

To make matters worse, Ruby’s gaze was fixed on her, forcing Roswyn to stop talking.

“That’s right, Miss Roswyn. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Vener quietly approached her side.

“The information you provided is accurate enough for cross-validation. So, you can rest assured.”

Vener, who had also visited Roswyn’s guild a few times, reassured her.

“…”

But naturally, there was no way Roswyn could be reassured by these words.

“Don’t worry, even though things have turned out this way… Frey will surely pay the price for his wrongdoings.”

‘He shouldn’t pay the price…!’

“Miss Roswyn?”

Feeling frustrated and frightened, Roswyn grabbed her head.

‘Alice, it was Frey who saved you… The Hero of Money you love is Frey…’

Her voiceless murmurs echoed silently in the air.

‘Vener, the incident that happened when you were a guard for Frey’s family…’

“Miss Roswyn, are you okay?”

“…Ah, yes.”

Roswyn regained her senses and replied in a hushed tone.

‘I have to persuade these people… I have to persuade them somehow…’

But her mind was filled with such thoughts.

“I don’t like you, but… you’re right.”

However, her thoughts were interrupted by a voice nearby, and Roswyn turned to look.

“Frey needs to pay for what he’s done.”

Aria, who had becbusier since becoming the acting family head picked up another salmon sandwich and murmured in a low voice.

“I thought he would be shocked if I severed our connection, but…”

Hesitating to bite into the sandwich, Aria murmured with a troubled expression.

“I wonder if he would even blink an eye if something happened toand I died?”

Aria no longer calls Frey her brother and slowly gives up on him. Roswyn saw a reflection of herself from a few months ago in her, and she quietly approached Aria.

“M-Maybe he has a reason?”

“…What?”

With a face filled with desperation, Roswyn whispered.

“M-Maybe there’s an unavoidable reason…”

“What kind of reason would that be?”

However, Aria’s response was firm.

“I used to think there was… but that’s reached its limit too.”

“Ah…”

Staring blankly as Aria bit into her sandwich, Roswyn thought.

“It’s tto admit that my brother has completely changed.”

She realized that no matter what she said, with all of her restrictions, it wouldn’t help Frey.

And the possibility that this girl, Frey’s own blood, might walk the spath as her.

“But still…”

“…?”

Roswyn was at a loss, and her eyes widened as Aria mumbled in a low voice with a loneslook on her face.

“…If he’s completely changed, maybe the opposite is also possible?”

Aria looked down at her salmon sandwich, murmuring to herself.

“Besides, I just found out today that my brother hates salmon…”

“…”

Roswyn’s expression cracked upon hearing this.

“Then why did my brother eat salmon withwith a smile back then…”

She realized a very simple fact.

“Why did he… change like that…”

The simple fact that she was not in a position to say anything to her.

Aria, who she thought was walking on an irreversible path, was still longing for or at least acknowledging the changed Frey.

“…”

She realized that she, who used to toy with him, was in a completely different position.

“Listen, I have a plan for the ‘entrance ceremony.’ A big one… Hero, would you like to hear it?”

“A good strategy is worth participating in, right? But first, I need to talk to that person…”

“Yes, then… Oh, why Aria…?”

“I’ll participate too. But I’ll review the strategy…”

And so she watched, dumbfounded, as the students huddled together and began to plot their attack on Frey, and she held up a hand in silence.

‘I have to stop them… No, I have to at least obstruct them… If not, then I have to get sinformation out of them…’

She mumbled to herself, chewing on her lips.

Alice, who was trying to kill her benefactor, Vener with her misguided sense of justice, the freshmen Frey was desperately trying to save with a 99% mortality rate, and Frey’s sister, Aria.

The inevitable fate that awaited them at the end was too clear in her mind.

“Excuse me, Miss Roswyn?”

“Yes!”

Thus, gathering her courage, Roswyn approached them.

“Would you like a sandwich?”

“…”

When Ruby, who had briefly stepped away from the group, offered her a sandwich with a smile, Roswyn felt something snap inside her and she accepted the sandwich.

“Thank… you.”

Then, Roswyn picked up the sandwich and started to eat it.

‘I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, die… die die die…’

Her hatred blinder her eyes.

‘I’ll definitely kill you…!!!’

She was a germaphobe and hated the unhygienic sandwiches, and she disliked salmon more than anyone else.

‘Definitely…!!!’

Consumed by her newfound hatred for Ruby, she forced herself to eat the sandwich while suppressing her urge to throw up.

‘I-If I can get rid of this bitch, I can secretly poison her in her sleep or stab her… as long as I succeed…’

Suddenly, such thoughts crossed Roswyn’s mind, and a glimmer of hope started to grow within her.

‘Maybe… they’ll even treatas a helper…? Wouldn’t they…?’

Beep! Beep beep!

But then, there was a sound next to her.

Helper System

[The Hero is in danger!]

“…!”

Roswyn’s eyes widened upon seeing the system window.

Helper System

[Navigation activated!]

[Helper, protect the Hero!]

Seeing that message, Roswyn’s heart started to race.

– Spring…

But then, she quickly returned to her blank expression.

“The Hero is… in danger…!”

The message was not in front of her, but in front of Glare who suddenly stood up.

Tadadada…

With the navigation window in front of her, Glare started to run through the darkness.

“…”

Seeing that, Roswyn completely grasped the situation.

“That’s now… her role… not mine…”

She realized that she, with no abilities, information, or anything else, was nothing but a burden.

And knowing fully well that it was too late to turn everything around, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy and self-loathing that made her eyes tear up.

‘That was… supposed to be my role…’

“Miss Roswyn? I have something to say…”

“…Crunch.”

She channeled all those emotions into hatred towards Ruby as she made her way to the group.
