How a Hero Lives as a Writer

Chapter 84

84 – Flowers of Casablanca

Cliches are French for printed plates.

I know that it is derived from digging out frequently used words or sentences in advance.

Because of its etymology, it is sometimes expressed as a ‘cliche expression’ or ‘something showing a generally similar tendency’.

There is also a slightly negative interpretation that it is a stereotypical way of expression.

However, it means that it is easy to interpret the meaning contained in it because it is clichéd and generally shows similar tendencies.

For example, when a woman suddenly cuts her hair, it is also a cliché expression that means a broken heart.

“Ha ha.”

When I first met Sir Louis, she had her hair classified as semi-long.

She cut it back so it didn’t reach her shoulders if it got any longer than that.

Her hairstyle started to change from the day she participated in the Monster Suppression Team.

What a change of heart, Sir Louis started growing her hair that day.

Her hair had grown to cover her back.

Maybe it was because I said that I looked good together.

… Yeah, maybe that’s what it is after all?

Sir Lewis liked me.

But she decided that now she would shake off those feelings and become her knight.

So she cut off her hair to symbolize her relationship with me.

Isn’t that the situation now?

ㅡ Are you okay?

There’s no way it’ll be okay.

One of the reasons I wanted to stay in Marais was Sir Louis’ share.

ㅡ Do you like it?

… To be honest, yes.

There is only one instance where Sir Lewis has taken such an action out of the blue.

For some reason, it must be said that the secret relationship between me and Teresa was exposed.

Lord Lewis is a superhuman, so he may have been sensitive to smell, although not as much as a beast.

On the first day I returned from doing such and such with Teresa, Sir Louis had a rather embarrassed look on his face that day.

Coming to think of it, it seems that Sir Lewis has become even more strange since then.

ㅡ What are you going to do now?

There are no other numbers anymore.

People’s emotions are subtle, and there are many cases where they do not rekindle once the heat cools down.

I think we need to take action.

So please step aside for a moment.

ㅡ Grain.

I confirmed that Miss Helena had disappeared and started preparing.

Preparations to shake the heart of Sir Louis, who had already drawn the line.

***

As I prepared my things and knocked on Sir Lewis’s door, I heard Sir Lewis’ slightly muted voice.

“Me.”

ㅡ Lord? What are you doing at this time?

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

ㅡ It’s late. Unless it’s urgent….

If we go on like this, we will always draw parallel lines.

I opened the door and went inside before Sir Lewis finished speaking.

“My lord?”

“Let’s talk.”

I took a seat at the table in the center of her room before Sir Louis gave permission.

Sir Lewis is looking at me with a slightly puzzled expression.

“Come and sit down.”

I tapped the floor and signaled to come and sit down.

Sir Lewis frowned slightly, sighed, and turned his back to me.

Then he checked his face in the mirror and carefully sat down in front of me.

I put the two bottles of sake and a small amount of snacks on the table while looking at Sir Louis.

“This is….”

“I don’t think I’m going anywhere today, and I have Bertus as an escort.”

I opened the lid of the bottle.

“Can I have a drink? I’ve never seen him drink….”

There’s no way people from Auckland can’t drink, but I decided to ask as a formality.

Sir Lewis stared into my eyes for a moment and then held out his glass.

I filled Sir Louis’ glass with alcohol.

Then I poured a drink into my glass and toasted Sir Louis.

Gulp.

A liquid hotter than most Western liquor ran down my throat.

Even though I only had one drink, I felt like my body was getting hotter and hotter.

Unlike me, who hit one shot roughly, Sir Lewis drank softly, as if savoring the taste.

Anyway, it seemed like he was a bit strong in drinking.

I sighed as I chewed on the beef jerky I brought for a snack.

A strong smell of alcohol flowed from his mouth.

I blankly looked up at the window.

Although it was March soon, the sun was still short and the moon was rising in the sky.

“You must be very tired. Skip dinner too. Is it okay to drink on an empty stomach?”

“I think it will be fine with snacks.”

Sir Lewis said that and began chewing on the jerky like a hamster.

I laughed helplessly as I looked at Sir Louis.

Then Sir Louis began to stare at me with a slightly worried expression.

“… What happened?”

That’s what I want to ask you, you bastard.

I wanted to attack him like that, but I kept my mouth shut and drank the poison wine again.

“Whoa.”

Tak.

I set down the empty glass and tried to pour another drink into the glass.

Then Sir Lewis quickly reached out and snatched the bottle from my hand.

“Drinking it so quickly is harmful to the body.”

I’ve already drawn the line, but at times like this, I’ll treat you kindly again.

“I was especially tired today. So I took a nap… I had a dream.”

Of course it’s Gurada.

But Sir Lewis seemed to believe me.

I slightly looked away from Sir Louis and continued the conversation.

“It wasn’t a very big dream. It was just a childhood dream.”

It’s not a complete lie.

I’ve had dreams like that lately.

For that reason, words that are filled with emotions that even I mistakenly believe are the truth are spewed out.

“I hang out with my friends, go on a trip with my parents, sometimes cry and laugh….”

I told such trivial things.

I don’t know Sir Louis’ expression.

It seems that this strange trembling will subside if I meet Sir Lewis’ eyes now.

So I gnashed my teeth and didn’t look at her in her direction.

“Maybe I had such a dream because I decided to stay here. Do I really have to ask if I can just throw it all away and live here?”

I snatched the bottle from Lord Louise’s hand, who was staring blankly at me.

Sir Lewis, as if he had been shocked by something, he was so rigid that he couldn’t even stop me.

I looked away from Sir Louis and poured my drink back into my glass.

Then I took a cool breath.

Whether it was because of the strange atmosphere or because I was drunk, even though it was a solo drink, it wasn’t as bitter and painful as before.

“I was shut up in the royal castle of Aucklia, and after visiting the castle, I started to look around here and there. He owes a lot to Sir Louis.”

After being shut up because of the murderous cold of Aucklia, I naturally came to look around here and there while working on my art.

There were many mysterious parts, but to be honest, Aucklia was the worst environment that was enough to shatter the fantasy of medieval fantasy.

“Aucklia was too barren for people to live. Everyone had a difficult expression because they barely survived the winter.”

I poured another drink into the glass.

“Stop it. You have drunk a lot.”

“I feel like a little drunk now, Sir Louis.”

Still, it was really dangerous to drink more than this, so I set the mood by shaking my glass lightly.

Sir Lewis started drinking from his own glass, probably worse than that day.

It must have seemed that I had to empty the bottle before I could stop drinking.

“The things I did when I was bored and thought I was going to do something changed Aucklia and, furthermore, Mare. Hey, it was amazing. Because over there, it was salaryman A and low-key writer A.”

I was an insignificant person over there, to the extent that people who knew who I was were even rarer.

But here, whenever I do something, the response is beyond my expectations.

“That’s why I really liked this place. There were still many inconveniences, but I liked this place enough that I thought about living here.”

As I said that, I drank and set the empty glass down on the table.

Then he looked at Sir Louis and smiled lightly.

“But I guess I was wrong.”

“My lord?”

“Helena did. All the heroes except for the 4 warriors wanted to return to the original world. I am a different species.”

My voice is shaking.

I feel like I’m going to make a mistake because I’ve become emotional for some reason.

So I turned my head to look up at the night sky and bit his lower lip.

“I think I now know why everyone made that choice.”

“Well, what….”

“That means this is not where I am supposed to be.”

“My lord?”

Took.

Sir Lewis, in his unconsciousness, his outstretched hand knocked over a nearly empty bottle of wine.

The small amount of alcohol inside spilled onto the table.

I looked down blankly at it and laughed weakly.

“If the hero does not disappear and remains, there is a high possibility that it will become the seed of conflict. I guess that’s why I left. Actually it will. If I remain here, the castle and empire will continue to care about me. So, I’m going to take action for the purpose of containment. For example, marital problems….”

At this point, you should have figured out what kind of relationship I have with Teresa.

“I hurt her with my selfishness. In the future, she will hurt others besides herself.”

I grabbed the bottle, which was almost empty, and blew it.

For some reason, I felt my stomach churn.

“I don’t want to see anyone get hurt anymore because of my selfishness.”

“No, no…. It’s not like that.”

Sir Lewis reached out to me with an expression that looked like it would collapse at any moment.

I slightly avoided Sir Louis’ hand.

“Sir Lewis. The story of the day was drunkenness.”

“State, county?”

“I was just drunk and spitting out nonsense. As you can see, I am weak in alcohol.”

As I said that, I shook the empty bottle and set it down under the table.

From noble mtl dot com

“So, can you pretend that nothing happened that day?”

“Well, what….”

“I will finish everything within 5 years, no, within 3 years and go back. So please forget everything I did that night when I was drunk. It’s like saying that you’ll stay here, I’m the owner, so I made fun of your body while telling you to follow my orders….”

“That’s it!”

“Ah, I don’t think it’s something that hasn’t happened yet. Shameless after committing such a thing….”

I stumbled up from my seat and bowed my head to Sir Louis.

“Sorry. I have tarnished your pride. I’ll stop here before it gets any uglier.”

“Well, what do you mean, lord….”

“I don’t want to hurt you any more. I don’t want to tarnish your pride.”

Sad thoughts, sad thoughts….

I opened my mouth, recalling the saddest moment possible.

“I apologize for not keeping my oath not to become a shameful lord of your sword, Lord Lewis.”

“State, county….”

“Thank you so far. I hope you find a better owner than me, Angelica.”

“Uh, uh… ?”
