I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

51 – Isabelle’s life is threatened by the elf Misha

“Lord, Master. why are you crying If something bad happened, Misha will lift it up for you.”

“I’ve never had any luck.”

“But… ”

“He said he had no luck.”

“… … … .”

I wiped the tears with the back of my hand.

This is just a physical physiological phenomenon, not tears that flowed because my heart was sad.

I don’t even have a story to tell anyone.

Rather, it is time to enjoy the reunion with Isabelle after a long time.

“Long time no see, Isabelle. I received your letter well.”

“Pah, pah, Faust… ! all you… ! Do you know how I wrote the letter?! Ha, if I had only replied once, I would have already been released… !!”

Misha asked Meranir to kidnap Isabel.

As punishment for Isabelle’s disrespect for me.

Meranir pressed Isabelle with the words, “If Faust forgives you, I will release you.”

The frightened princess kept sending me letters asking for forgiveness in order to escape the Dragon King’s clutches.

Well, of course I ignored it.

“All, all, you… Yo, you’ve become the Dragon King. uh, do you know what that means? It means you can never come back as a human again! Goddess Irene! I will punish you for your treason someday—!’

“Shut up.”

“Aw!!”

I hit the slap lightly, but Isabelle fell noisily.

A stream of blood bursts like a fountain.

Mouth is bursting

“Ahh… Ah, it hurts. Meh, Meranir didn’t even hit me… oh, what the hell did you do? A delicate girl, poetry, and even me, a princess… When, hit.”

Isabelle trembled as she wrapped her palms around the area that had been hit.

Well, since she was born as a princess, she would never have been beaten in her life.

But you’ll have to get used to it by now.

“Listen, Isabelle. I am now the dragon king and a warrior at the same time. As a resident of this world, you probably don’t know what that means.”

“Hey… ”

“There are two paths left for you. Obey me, or die.”

“… … … … !!”

Isabelle wept.

—Isabelle was in touch with her father via delivery eagle. That’s why I knew the news that I had become the Dragon King.

Also, speaking of clairvoyance, she learned perception magic, but it is said that the range is extremely narrow. The scale of the fight between me and Gerena was so great that even Isabel, who was not good at magic, could not help but notice.

Even so, Isabelle is probably the only “human” living on the Demon Continent now, which meant that she was a being of great strategic value.

There must have been someone on the Pangea continent beyond that who noticed that fact.

「To Princess Isabelle」

“The hardships you go through are more than counted. But now, the fate of all mankind is like a candle in the wind, so I have no choice but to ask you to lend me your strength.”

「I heard from King Carlos, but you learned some clairvoyant skills to keep an eye on your subjects and people. If so, can’t you use your senses to find out where Faust is?”

“Information is the most powerful weapon in modern warfare”

“Especially, investigate what happened to Faust and the Four Heavenly Kings, and let me know.”

“Did Faust fight the Four Heavenly Kings? Or did you make friends? Or did one end bend over the other? This information is the most important.”

“If Faust and the Four Heavenly Kings join forces, it would be annoying. If Faust is fighting the Four Heavenly Kings, from our point of view, annihilation is the best thing, so we won’t attack for the time being, otherwise we’ll make a quick surprise attack before they unite.”

“It may be difficult for you, but I want you to be entrusted with the role of a messenger informing us of the trends of the Demon Continent. Please, for the sake of humanity, be courageous.”

“Written by the Great Sage Minerva in the Old Book”

—It was a new letter that arrived while we were sleeping.

You arrived really well-timed.

“Certainly, information is the best weapon. It’s fair to say that those who control information control war. In that sense, Isabel, I think you could be a pretty useful tool.”

“Pa, Faust you. Are you sure you’re going to make me give you false information? There’s no way I would do that! What a great sin to commit against humanity!”

“You mean you don’t want to?”

“Of course!”

Isabelle mustered up her last courage and confronted Faust.

She also fully understood that this was a battle for the fate of all mankind.

In addition, a personal grudge against Faust, who abandoned him, was mixed in, and he had the will to risk his life to resist.

Even though she was prepared to be killed by Faust here,

Surprisingly, he quietly backed away.

“Oh yeah? Fuck it then.”

“… Yes?”

“Pick it up. Even without your help, I can annihilate the human race alone anyway. did you forget I am the dragon king + warrior. Is there anyone other than me who has two of the strongest business cards? Your help is a bonus, so to speak. It’s good if you have it, not if you don’t, that’s about it.”

“… … … to?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t. I’ll just go outside and explore the local geography and come back.”

Faust left without regret, scratching the back of his head.

Isabel, who expected to be subjected to harsh torture, somehow lost steam.

“… what is this. Can I just stay still?”

However, Isabelle’s expectations that Faust has left and that she can rest in peace collapse miserably. Rather, the unbridled colt named Faust was about to rampage in earnest in the cave.

Mischa Greenwood.

The Elf Queen, who had previously shown Isabelle a hot taste, swung a whip made from azalea trunks and made a bursting sound.

slap.

Isabelle was startled by the sound and flinched.

“Oh ho ho ho! Now that there is no master, whatever you do with Misha is up to you!”

“uh? uh huh?”

“Since long ago, Misha said she didn’t like your years.”

“Me, what are you trying to do with me?!”

“I mean they’re going to eat it.”

“Eat it?!?!”

Elves were despised and feared by humans.

There is no neighborhood without folk tales related to kidnapping and murder by elves. As children grow up, they are naturally educated about the ferocity of elves, and they develop fear of them.

Perhaps under the influence of growing up under such a culture, Isabelle thought there was nothing strange about Misha eating cannibals.

This scary elf was enough to eat me.

“Churup. He said he would quickly get rid of it before the master comes.”

“wait for a sec! Stop please!!”

Misha licked her lips once more and made the infernal devil tree spring up again from the bottom of the soilless cave. Although the size was smaller than it was then, perhaps because of the bad environment, it was large enough to hang a person.

“please… ! Ahh… ! I don’t want to hang on this crazy tree again!”

“I want you to be my food quietly.”

I tried to resist, but it was futile.

Isabelle was no match for Misha.

The tree branch that flew like a tentacle instantly subdued the struggling princess and covered her eyes and ears.

‘Ugh… ! Gee, it really feels like the nutrients are going fast. I haven’t eaten anything yet… !!’

“Oh ho ho ho! Now you are Misha’s food! I want you to die well!”

“Huh… ugh… ”

Tears flowed down.

to die like this I can’t even move.

Isabelle felt her strength drain away little by little.

In my ears, I can hear Misha’s ridiculed mockery without rest, and the past days of my life pass by like a kaleidoscope.

The king’s only daughter.

next king’s successor.

Even the archmage and the prime minister swore allegiance in front of me like a dog wagging its tail.

It was a good day.

It was a life chosen with a guaranteed happy future.

I don’t want to believe that I’m going to die in a place like this.

However, there is no hero who can stop that monstrous elf…

“What are you doing Misha!”

“Ah! master?!”

what? this voice.

It’s Faust.

Has Faust returned?

“Let Isabelle go now. When did I tell you to kill me?”

“ah… That… I’m sorry, Master.”

Even that great elf obeys Faust’s orders. Damn, how strong is Faust?

The tree’s restraints slipped away, and Isabelle saw the light of day again.

The first thing she saw upon returning to this world was Faust’s face.

“Tsk. You almost died, Isabelle.”

“… to? Why did you save… ”

The next thing that came into view was Misha, who was biting her nails in anger.

This happened repeatedly.

Every time Faust went outside, Misha tried to kill Isabelle, and just before she died, Faust appeared and saved her, and the pattern was repeated over 200 times.

Now, when Faust tries to go outside, Isabelle begins to show signs of anxiety, saying, “When will he come back?” “Why are you leaving?”

As his fear of Misha grew, it led to his dependence on Faust.

One day, when Faust told her that he was going on a long business trip to the continent of Pangea, Isabelle’s anxiety exploded.

“How long will it take if it is a long business trip?”

“About a month or two?”

“I can’t!!”

Isabelle looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Misha’s mean smile, terrified.

“Why are you leaving so long?!”

“Yeah, you don’t have any information. I don’t know when they’ll form an allied force on the continent of Pangea and attack, so I’ll have to look at their dynamics.”

“that… ! Oh, can I not go?”

“Well… If you manipulate the information, I don’t have to go.”

“Yes?”

“So, I’m asking you to tell me a little lie in your letter to delay the start of the war.”

“that… Then mankind… ”

“Well, don’t worry. As I said before, your help is like a bonus to me. If you have it, it’s a little comfortable, if you don’t, it’s okay. What you are doing is not betraying humanity, but saving your own life.”

“… still.”

“Ah, then you can die on your own. The result is the same anyway, so what are you bothering about? i just leave Have a good two months with Misha~.”

“Ah, I get it!! Got it Faust! I will write… letter… write a letter… ”

—I will write a letter… I’ll write a letter, Faust… I’ll do as you say…

“Five. You succeeded. It’s fast.”

“Ehehehe. Yes?”

Faust and Misha stood side by side watching Princess Isabelle, who was tied to a tree. Isabelle was drooling over and over again saying, “I will write a letter.”

In fact, ever since Isabelle was first tied to the tree, she had been indulging in magical illusions.

In Isabelle’s experience, the inner conflict lasted for two months.

But in real time, only about two minutes had passed.

In addition, Faust has never saved Isabelle. Everything was just an illusion that Isabelle saw.

Faust succeeded in making Isabelle an ally easily and effortlessly.

Isabelle, who was released from the tree, sent a reply to the great sage as Faust ordered.

「To the great sage」

“I received your letter well. Fortunately, the demon didn’t intercept the letter and I read the contents secretly by myself.」

“The fight between Faust and the Four Heavenly Kings is getting fiercer day by day. The momentum will not stop until one of them perishes, or both.”

“In my opinion, if left as it is, there is a very high possibility that Faust will die.”

“That’s why I don’t think humans should hastily intervene and give room for demons to unite.”

“I think it would be best to postpone the all-out attack of mankind as much as possible until the fight between Faust and the Four Heavenly Kings is over.”

“And there is another important report.”

「I investigated the Demon Continent with my clairvoyance and found the base of the Demon King. Now that the Four Heavenly Kings are busy fighting Faust, the Demon King is in a defenseless state without an escort.”

“The Demon King is an inviolable fortress that no one can approach except for the first hero, John.”

「For the first time in a thousand years, humanity is finally able to attack the Demon King’s stronghold. If we kill the demon king, we humans can achieve permanent peace.”

“In that sense, I have a request to you, Great Sage. Please send me the holy sword, the only weapon that can kill the demon lord.”

“Now is the turning point in the salvation of mankind.”

“Before the demon king finds out about my presence, please enclose the holy sword in the mail of the delivery eagle and send it to me as soon as possible.”
