Evade The Hero and Flee! Chapter 240

Chapter 240

  1. In a villainous world full of cunning, the clumsy cannot survive (6) 

#6 Their Circumstances: A Certain Hero’s Circumstances

Snap!

Alice pointed at the sky with her index finger and said.

“Kko Kko, break it.”

A clear audible voice.  

Kko Kko. Just hearing the name makes it sound like a chicken. No matter how much you indulge it, it’s a chick’s name.

Okay, let’s indulge it a little more. 

You can even use the name Kko Kko for a bird.

But that Kko Kko is neither a chicken, nor a chick, nor any kind of bird.

If we look at similar species, yes, there are lizards. Well, cutely called, they are lizards.  

Looking at even more similar ones, there are wyverns, drakes, and things called wyrms.

Well, to summarize, that Kko Kko is a dragon. The dragon is called the most powerful creature on earth.

So if you tell that Kko Kko to break it,

“Ah…”

In that moment of realization, I created a barrier with my magic. And at the same time,

Kuoohhh!

An enormous magical power spews out from Kko Kko’s small body.

“Ugh…!”

No matter how powerful the supreme species is said to be, it was an overwhelming force considering its age.

Breath, the breath of dragons, and the ultimate attack. 

Called the source of a dragon’s magic stored in the immense magical power of the dragon heart, I’ve heard that an ancient dragon’s breath can blow away an entire city.

But what can I say? How big could that little dragon heart, that is, its heart, be to contain such magical power?

The atmosphere is ringing.  

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but it feels stronger than the breath of the ancient dragon I had defeated.

Kuuung!

With a huge roar, moonlight comes pouring down.

Spinning around and coming down before I noticed, when I looked up it seemed to have come down quite deep.

“What, what is this?”

The senior who had struggled to stand up looked at Alice and Kko Kko with a bewildered expression.

“Wow, crazy…”

“Not only is the Instructor crazy, but his daughter is crazy too…”

The senior warriors stared with wide-eye at the ceiling with holes pierced through it.

“What do you think? Don’t you think we can escape now?”

“Ugh!”

I could only admire the poise with which Alice looked at the senior.

That senior scares even me.

Filled only with memories I can’t say are good, like the memory of getting hit by her before, or the sight of her chasing the instructor. There’s no way I could take such actions.

But there was someone more surprised than me.

“My daughter?”

The instructor, who had been just a little surprised even when looking at the senior, now had an astounded expression.

“Dad…”

Alice made an awkward expression at his gaze.

“What, what’s going on here?”

“Heehee…!”

At the instructor’s flustered words, Alice could only let out an awkward laugh.

“Ugh!”

Ah, why is the senior gritting her teeth at that? Oh, could she have gotten the wrong idea?

It’s not what the senior is thinking…! It’s just normal family love! That’s right! Don’t envy it so much!

Oh… Come to think of it, she can envy it either way. Since she had wanted to become family in a different sense.

“My girl, I didn’t raise you to be that kind of child.”  

“I’m sorry… But I have no choice! Dad, you’re old now!”

At Alice’s words, the instructor closed his mouth.

“You’ve protected me since long ago. Even though I’m not your real daughter, you loved me like I was. So…”

The pink hair shining in the moonlight starts to grow longer little by little. 

Subtly, her height grew a bit taller, and her chest swelled up a little more.

And two black wings appeared behind her back.

“From now on, I will protect you.”

“Me too!”

Flapping it little wings vigorously, Kko Kko flew over next to Alice.

“Yeah. We’ll protect you.”

Looking at Kko Kko with eyes full of affection, Alice changed her expression as she looked at the senior.

“Master, as for you…”

The senior looked at the instructor with a trembling, dubious expression.

I have a memory from very early childhood of seeing an expression like that.

What can I say… it was the expression the legal wife, my eldest mother, made when my father, the head of the Raina Dukedom, took in a young concubine.

I still vividly remember my eldest mother’s words I overheard passing by then.

It was clearly ‘Even though I’m here, you take in a wench like that! Do you like them that young?!’.

…No no, senior? This is really not what you think! It’s just a normal family love! An admirable daughter worrying about her old father!

“I’ll get rid of anyone who bullies Dad.”

“Do you think you can do it?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

I want to speak up.

But getting involved in that atmosphere is absolutely out of the question.

Scary. It feels like a completely different space is being generated between those two.

I’m a hero… I’ve even caught dragons before…

But I still wanted to avoid getting between them.

And it wasn’t just me. The senior warriors behind the senior were also just trembling as they watched the two.

“Sweetheart.” 

“It’s nice to grow old.” 

“It’s not about being old, it’s about being mature.” 

“It’s an excuse for old people.” 

“You hate me?” 

“Would any daughter like someone who bullies her dad?” 

“It’s not bullying?” 

“Would you believe someone who would blatantly kidnap and imprison you?” 

“Okay… I tried to look after you because you were the instructor’s daughter….” 

“There’s no need to look after me, ma’am.”

“Okay, I’ll kill you then.” 

The instructor said to me as he looked at the two people looking at each other and exuding death. 

“Hero, move!” 

“What?” 

No, I can’t come between them. I would rather fight the Demon king. 

“What, me?” 

But I couldn’t get those words out as I saw the metal bat in the instructor’s hand trying to move. 

“okay.” 

The two women in front are scary, but the metal bat behind them is also scary. 

While I was standing and unable to do anything,

“How long are you going to keep this up?”

The one who saved me then, unable to move or act, was a golden-haired boy with shining hair.

“Kitty? What are you doing here?”

“Gotta dash!”

Saying that, the boy grabbed the instructor with one hand, Hil with the other, and dashed up.

It was an astonishing jumping ability. With just one jump, stepping on the borders of the shattered floors, he kept rising up as if using magic to move through the air.

“Where are you going!”

“That’s my line!”

Seeing the instructor’s figure, the senior tried to use magic, but it ended in failure due to Alice’s attack.

“Damn brat!”

“Leave my dad alone!”

That’s… Alice?

Even if she’s of a race with stronger magic than humans, I can’t believe she can wield magic strong enough to confront the senior!

“I’ll kill you.”

In the end, the senior drew her sword. And at the same time,

“Protect Alice. If you fail to protect her, I will find you by any means necessary and… keep you alive forever.”

“Instructor?”

At the instructor’s shout from the sky, I could not help but draw my holy sword with tears welling up.

Not killing me, but keeping me alive forever.

“What are you punks doing!”

Wiping a tear as I approached Alice, the senior glared at me, grinding her teeth. 

At the same time, following the senior’s words, my other seniors began to join in as well.

Each one is a swordsmaster or archmage.

In addition to that,

“Hell god, Styx.”

The senior fearsomely summoned a skull behind her back.

I know very well what it is.

A summon, moreover summoning a god or similar divine being from another dimension.

A hundred, no, a thousand times more threatening than useless God of Nature!

A swordsmaster, mage, and god-level summoner. This senior is just too much.

“Step aside, junior. Before I kill you.”

But is it still love for your junior or love for your country?

The senior seemed to be giving me one last chance. 

If I kneel down now and plead, he’ll forgive me, right?

“I have no choice either.”

But living after that would not be living at all.

Instructor is the kind of person who can find me even if there’s no way to do so. 

I’m on the receiving end here.

I’m so unlucky. Of all people, that boy had to take both the instructor and Hil away.

“Then let’s die.”

But the senior suggesting death before my eyes is also too scary.

Those eyes were truly trying to kill me.

Though Alice was stronger than expected, this is deep in enemy territory. And it was a space prepared to capture the instructor.

I can’t be confident I can win against even one senior, let alone this!

– Defeat is the worst option, next is winning by fighting. And the best is winning without fighting.

The instructor’s voice echoed in my head then.

That’s right. There’s still a way left.

The words of Instructor who could make anyone a fool with just words.

There’s still… My life is still too pitiful to end here!

In my 24 years of life, most has been with the evil organization, Instructor, the Metal bat, and hero stuff!

I want to date, go on trips, eat delicious food, get married, and live peacefully too!

“Die.”

But there’s no time. 

I think as I look at the slowly rising hand of the hell god.

To persuade the senior? The answer is only Instructor.

And how to persuade Instructor?

What I have now that can be a bargaining chip with the Instructor is the Demon King and the  Princess chasing Instructor, and Alice behind me.

Then should I capture Alice and hand her over to the senior?

No. Then Alice would die.

Then the senior wouldn’t get what she wants, and I might not be killed forever.

Instructor would come after me even if he had to sell himself to the Princess.

First I need to reconcile these two.

How? Is that even possible?

Impossible. But I have to make it possible.

‘Dad, dad! You should go to the henhouse now!’

Then I remembered the conversation between Alice and Instructor in the Demon Continent.

Yes, usually Alice would say this.

‘Henhouse, new mom, labor is important for farming. I wish I had a younger sibling.’

I found a common goal between the senior and Alice.

Then why were they fighting? What could that be?

‘You can forget everything that’s happened so far. From now on, I will…’

Yes, that’s how it started. When Alice, who had been quietly behind Instructor as always, started getting angry.

Think coldly, calmly. 

Why did Alice start getting angry at those words?

It must have been because she felt denied. Her meeting with Instructor.

From what I briefly heard, Instructor said Alice was on the brink of death when they first met.

Her body and mind were full of wounds, and it seems Instructor healed her.

Honestly, having been beaten with the Metal bat and healed, I can’t understand, but Instructor does treat Alice specially. That could be why.

To Alice, Instructor must be the most precious dad in the world.

But that was denied. That’s why she got angry.

Then why did senior get angry?

‘No, people besides those involved don’t need to know.’

Because the senior was denied as well.

She had tried so hard to find Instructor, but was told she wasn’t involved because they didn’t spend time together.

Nothing can be said to that fact. That’s why she got so angry.

Can I resolve this misunderstanding between them?

I can.

“Hey, senior!”

“Will you listen to my will?”

She really intends to kill me…

“Could you listen to me for a moment?”

“Fine. Looks like Instructor will get away anyway… I should at least listen to the will of a junior about to die.”

Gulp.

I unconsciously swallow dryly.

If I fail here, I die.

“If you kill this child here, your relationship with Instructor will become permanently irreparable.”

“I know. But I have no choice. That damn cat thief…”

As expected, the senior is misunderstanding. Thinking that Alice loves the Instructor as a man rather than a father.

“What if she’s a pet cat rather than a thief cat?”

“What?”

When resolving a misunderstanding, you can’t just fix one side.

“A pet cat? Are you talking about me?”

I turned my gaze to Alice who was looking at me resentfully. 

“Could I know why you think of the senior as an enemy?”

This is important.

If Alice doesn’t give me the answer I want here, everything will end.

And fortunately,

“Because she’s trying to take Dad away from me. I hate it, yet she’s trying to forcibly take him away!”

“What if it’s a proposal?”

“Huh?”

Alice looks at me, blinking her eyes.

Next to her, Kko Kko also tilts his head saying ‘Kyu?’.

“Could it be… a new mom candidate?”

Alice’s mood softens.

And the senior wasn’t so insensitive that she didn’t notice this.

“Could it be…”

Seeing Alice somewhat pleased, the senior also seemed to realize her misunderstanding.

“Yes. This child simply loves her dad. She just wants to live an ordinary life farming with him.”

Add that she also wants a new mom and younger siblings, and the fearsome skull behind the senior’s back disappeared.

“What did I just do…?”

Good, the senior’s killing intent has completely disappeared.

As long as he doesn’t attack recklessly, peace will continue!

“I have arrived, my lady!”

Just then, the golden-haired boy who had carried the instructor and leapt up landed, spewing fighting spirit.

“You guys haven’t started fighting yet?”

“Hey, read the mood.”

What?

Leaving the tilting boy aside, I looked at Alice.

“A new mom candidate? Proposal?”

She seems just as confused.

“Alice, didn’t you say you wanted a new mom?”

“Uh, yes…”

“Instructor hated that idea.”

“Yes…”

“But what if there was someone actively appealing to Instructor that way?”

“My sister told me that…”

I continued persuading the confused Alice.

Like this, Instructor would miss the chance to marry forever. As his daughter, this is when she must become the apostle of love.

Using all the verbal skills I learned from Instructor, I persuaded Alice. As a result,

“A new… mom?”

Alice tilted her head as she approached the senior.

Senior, this is your chance! Please love peace!

“No way, right?”

But the senior didn’t seem to love peace, befitting a disciple of a wicked Instructor.

“Huh?”

Just when I thought we had no choice but to really fight, the senior looked at Alice gently smiling and said,

“Call me mother.”

…We did it.
