What the Hero Wanted Was Me

Episode 20

Chapter 20.

“That’s what I mean..”

Aria, whose vigilance was easily broken by Sera’s smile, who seemed to like her people, began to talk about her worries.

Like her body not following her cleaning, or what happened last night with the hero in Lenny’s room.

“Eren stole the butler’s lips?”

“Yes..! Even Lenny stayed still as if he was used to it..!?”

The reason why Lenny stayed still was that he didn’t understand the circumstances that happened after he lay down to faint, but Aria didn’t even think about that, so she gave birth to a misunderstanding about Lenny.

‘Eren did something cute.’

Did she do that while I was gone? Realizing her feelings of anger, Sera was annoyed. The fact that Lenny, whom she thought was hers, was given away to Eren out of sight, made her very displeased, so she wasn’t just cute.

Arya wondered if she had anything more to say, and she continued her words about Eren. It was because it was natural for women to gossip about someone when two or more women started gathering.

“It’s strange to choose a person as a reward for defeating a demon king. The heroine must be mad.”

“So that’s what I mean. We were dumbfounded when he chose the reward alone without saying anything.”

“That .. Right !? She didn’t even defeat the demon lord alone ..”

Sera realized that Aria and Eren are not on good terms while roughly speaking at Arya’s gossip. This situation would be a good weapon for Sera.

‘I want the two of you to fight more.”

I ignite the fight between Eren and Aria, and in the meantime, I take over Lenny. Now, the love Lenny gives was also the goal of Sara, who was greedy.

Lenny said that she was wary of herself, so in her heart she decided that she would have a hard time winning his love. This is Sarah’s plan.

‘I can do it.’

Since Sarah has always felt the eyes on her wherever she goes, she has confidence in her appearance, which will be a powerful weapon to win Lenny.

‘Once you get the body, the mind follows too.’

Love is winning. It was Sera who had very dangerous thoughts.

In order to do that, we need to get rid of the intruders.

“Can you show me how to clean?”

“Yes..? The way you clean..?”

Arya was ashamed to show her cleaning skills to others, so she hesitated and was about to refuse Sarah’s request.

“You never know. Eren might have done something to her cleaning kit.”

“…!”

Sera’s words shocked Arya. It was because she said that the reason she couldn’t clean might have been due to external factors.

“Okay..! Let me show you..!”

Arya regained her confidence and she returned with her broom from somewhere. She had an ordinary broom that seemed to have nothing wrong with it.

ㅡ Ssak. sh*t.

Arya thought she would sweep the fallen leaves off the garden floor and put them into the dustpan.

ㅡ Ssak. sh*t.

But even though she was sweeping the leaves with her broom, she couldn’t find anything green in the dustpan. It was as if she was sweeping a broom in the air.

“Why can’t this…”

Sarah stopped Aria from trying to calm herself down while indicting her self-destructive broomstick.

“Is there something wrong with the broom?”

Sarah took the broom from Arya and turned it around, staring at her to see if there was something wrong. Of course, there was no problem with the broom.

“Hmm..”

Sera pretended to be troubled and used her magic without Aria noticing.

‘Come to mind easily.’

I made the leaves’ gravity low, so no matter how much I brushed through the air, they would easily float up and into the dustpan.

From noble mtl dot com

“Would you like to try it now?”

ㅡ Ssak. sh*t.

Aria admired the leaves that fit into the dustpan differently than before.

‘My..It wasn’t that I couldn’t do it..!’

It was Arya who thought that the hero was a ruse to harass her. Inside her, her evaluation of Eren, which was originally the lowest, began to plummet.

‘If the result is good, it’s good. Yes?”

She thought she deserved to take Lenny because Sera had boosted her Aria’s self-esteem. She should have been prepared to give something.

It was a lie that was soon discovered, but Sera didn’t care. The fight between the two would easily accelerate, and Lenny would come over to her very soon. The moment she realized she had been tricked, Lenny was already her own.

Sarah’s greed only grew bigger day by day.

•••

‘There is nothing to do.’

Lying in bed for 30 minutes. In the break that had come after a long time, I had no idea what to do.

It feels like a monkey raised in a zoo suddenly gained freedom. I was just trying to get back into the cage.

Because my body was itching and obsessed with a sense of duty that I had to do something, I had no choice but to move.

“Huh? Butler, weren’t you on vacation until you got better?”

“Wait, I’m here to see how things are going.”

I stopped by the kitchen to check that today’s meal was well prepared. Like meat for Eren and vegetables for the herbivorous Siana, the warrior party had a set menu, so they had to be careful all the time.

‘There’s nothing wrong with the kitchen…’

The meal was well prepared, so I turned around and headed straight left.

‘What is that combination’

I was puzzled because I could see Arya and Sera talking among themselves in the garden from afar. It was because I couldn’t imagine the combination of the two and I didn’t know what they were talking about.

After patrolling her trouble-free garden in the hope that Sera and Aria telling her story won’t give her much affection, I’m back at her mansion again.

However, what remains is time. It was a time that remained terribly until the end of the day.

Since my average sleep time was 2 hours, I didn’t even have the option of taking a nap, so I was about to light some incense and go to sleep, when an elf appeared in front of me.

“Mo..The body seems to be fine.”

Cyana’s face was red as she grumbled, perhaps because she was embarrassed to worry about me. He was a really disingenuous elf.

“Yes, I’m in good shape, but I’m enjoying my vacation because I shouldn’t do things that put too much strain on my body.”

“You shouldn’t put too much strain on your body?”

“As you can see, the arms are like this”

“Oh…”

I saw my arm not rising above her chest. I exclaimed as if I felt sorry for myself. Her words seemed to be thinking of me to some extent.

“It’s a pity. If I had been there, you wouldn’t have been hurt.”

Certainly, if Ciana had been present, her escort mission would have ended very quickly. Searching for enemies around her was her specialty.

“Well, I’m glad I’m still alive.”

“Hmm..”

Siana was glaring at me, probably not liking my answer. It was also difficult to match the rhythm of the elves.

“You, follow me to my room for a moment.”

“Yes..?”

She looked uneasy. She grabbed her arm on her uninjured side and dragged me into her room. With nothing to do with her, she decided to just be dragged along, and since she couldn’t beat her anyway, she went to her room in silence.

ㅡ Rumbling!

Shiana slammed her door shut, as if she had something to say to me, and her mouth opened immediately.

“You know Eren likes you, right?”

There was no way she didn’t know. Eren, who kissed her and told her to take responsibility for herself, knew about her feelings, but she never imagined that such words would come out of Sianna’s mouth.

ㅡ Nod.

It was embarrassing for her to say that Eren liked me with her own mouth, so she replied with a nod of her head.

“I know, but why don’t you date her? Eren is pretty, talented, and has a lot of money. She doesn’t fall for anything.”

I was definitely not wrong. It was because she was a woman of enough charm that her Eren’s shortcomings could be counted on her fingers.

‘I can’t say I can’t afford it because something big will happen in the future…’

There was nothing better than being married to a pretty, talented, and wealthy woman, but I didn’t have the heart to date in a situation where we might live peacefully, so I decided to cover it up.

“Love isn’t about wanting a reward.”

“What?”

“Just because you love me doesn’t mean I have to love that person.”

My true intention was ‘I want to marry a pretty and talented woman with a lot of money and live comfortably’, but I couldn’t say that, so I decided to pretend that love is not a give and take.

“…Really?”

She must have been impressed by my words. Shea stood staring at me as I slapped her bruises for a moment. Even when I think about it, my words are overflowing with romance.

Then, a few seconds later, Cianna slowly approached me and started talking to me, and a strange atmosphere emanated from her. It’s an atmosphere that shouldn’t exist.

“Hey, butler.”

As she slowly approached me, a red light hovered over her face and it seemed that her ears were painted red.

“No, Lenny.”

Siana, who came up to my chest, looked at me from below and started talking.

“Then how about me…?”

Siana’s eyes were like those of an adolescent girl in love.
