Running Away From The Hero!

16. It burns. (1)

# 1 What they are: What's the matter with a daughter.

He's been acting strange lately.

“Dad! I got all the weeds! ”

“Yes... ”

After a fierce battle, I ran to my dad to report the results, but he looked at me like he was exhausted.

“Are you sick? ”

“No, it's fine. ”

“Ah……. ”

Here we go again.

Usually I reach out to stroke my head, but I just pause and don't stroke my hand.

“Aren't you gonna pet me? ”

“It's because there's dirt on your hands. ”

You laugh and say that, but you're lying.

He used to stroke my head with his soiled hands.

It's summer in there.

After farming, it's a common season to wash and enter by the stream.

Whether it was time to refrain from bathing because it might catch a cold like fall or winter, I didn't care about getting a little dirt in the summer.

It's because farmers can't farm without soil.

And you won't stroke me with excuses like that!

It's been a few days!

“Are you... angry? ”

Carefully open mouth.

Am I the only one who thought she was reconciled?

I haven't spoken to you in months, and you still can't forgive me?

Is that what it is?

“I'm not.”

“Woof……. ”

But he just shakes his head with a smile.

Is it really not?

If not, why not pet it?

I went back to the field in a helpless pace.

I feel like I'm losing my strength too.

“Hey, you can't do this. ”

It's summer.

Summer, the frontier of farming!

The sun is shining, the weeds are fast!

We need to root every single more weed so that our precious food can grow enormously.

If you lose your strength, you'll be in trouble!

“Just a little longer and your dad will be fine. ”

I know how much he loves me more than anyone else.

There's just something going on right now.

So if you just bear with it a little longer, you will be the dad who hugs and strokes me like before.

… and it was a week later.

“Sister!"

“Yes, Gran. ”

I ran into my sister's arms with tears in my eyes... I held her in my arms because I had a history of pain.

“Sis, Sis! I feel like he's not even looking at me right now! Did I do something wrong? Do you know?”

“Mmmm... ”

She slightly avoided my gaze and looked at the air.

This, this!

“You know that! ”

“Oh, you don't know! ”

“Lies!”

She clearly knows why he does it.

The evidence keeps avoiding my gaze and whistling something I've never heard before!

“What? What are you mad about? ”

Grab her by the neck and be strong!... but shakes gently.

“I'm not angry. ”

“Really? ”

Thank goodness.

It wasn't because he was mad at me.

“This time!”

“Ahh!”

My sister runs away from me, taking a moment to feel safe.

I reached out urgently, but I couldn't hold my sister.

“Hehe.”

The results were staged, but we were not able to pinpoint the exact cause.

I can't do it.

You have to show a lot of stamina in this situation!

“Dad, can I sleep with you? ”

He holds up his pillow and pounds on his dad's visit.

The village's women also said,

A woman's powerful weapon is a prosecutor under a pillow!

I don't know what it is, but can we literally talk about it from the bottom of the pillow?

A visit with a squeaking sound made me see my dad.

And...

“My daughter is a big girl, so now she has to sleep alone. ”

“Yes?”

“Can you sleep by yourself? ”

“Yes……. ”

When he said that, he closed the visit again, along with a well-growing greeting.

The light leaking from Dad's visit disappears at the same time as the visit closes.

It's lonely.

“Huff……. Dad, you idiot! ”

With a helpless step, I go back to my room.

The sun is about to go out the window. It's gonna be dark soon, so I need to get back to my room.

Sleep with Misha and Cock-a-doodle-doo.

I have to get up tomorrow... have breakfast with my dad, build a farm...

The moment I thought about it, my feet stopped.

“No.”

I hate it.

I want to eat breakfast as usual and hold my dad's hand when I go out to farm.

I want to get rid of weeds as hard as usual and be complimented by my father.

And sometimes... I just want to hug my dad and fall asleep.

I can't do that anymore!

No, absolutely not!

I don't know what I did to him, but he might have turned against me!

But I want to be with you again like old times!

I can't give up like this!

Leave your pillow on the floor and schedule your father's visit.

And I shout,

“Dad!"

* * *

Boom!

“Dad!"

“Yep?”

I immediately opened the door roughly and became overwhelmed by the pressure of the incoming daughter.

What, this pressure?

You scared the hell out of me, who wasn't even scared of the Empress of the World!

“Dad, look me in the eye. ”

“Yep.”

After placing my hands on my waist and staring at me, I looked her in the eye as she ordered.

“Dad, what the hell is wrong with you? ”

“Hm? I don't know what you're talking about, daughter.... ”

“Lies!”

Yes, that's a lie.

I've been avoiding her since I realized that the Horse's blood was running through her veins.

But if you say it like that, it looks like something big is going to happen, so keep your mouth shut!

“Tell me honestly. What did I do wrong? Or, I……. ”

She paused for a moment and stared at me.

However, his gaze gradually turned toward the ground, and after a moment he dropped a drop of water on the floor.

“Did I... dislike it? ”

This is what it feels like to put a stake in your heart.

My body starts to tremble with an unspeakable guilt.

“If that's the case... Elise... Elise will do better." I'll listen to him and work hard. ”

She didn't do anything wrong.

It's just that this lousy father doesn't accept reality.

“So... please... ”

So, please don't cry.

“Don't hate me. ”

I don't hate you.

“That can't be right. ”

Kneel down, reach out for your crying daughter.

“There's no way I'd hate our sweet Elise. Why are you telling me this nonsense? ”

“Really?"

I look like I have a lot to say, but I can't wait to hear it.

You have a lot to say, but you have a lot to say.

See it all and just be happy that I was looking at myself.

And that look... seemed more pitiful to me.

“Yes, of course. ”

Everything was my fault.

I can't believe your precious daughter is the successor of the Circubus who inherited a little of the Horse's blood.

“This father, above all, is precious to my daughter. ”

“Y-yeah... Izzie? ”

“Well, well. ”

I hugged my daughter who burst into silent tears in my arms.

Yeah, what's the big deal about the Mages anyway?

We already live next door, and our pets are suspected of being Demibeast by dragons!

Wherever I go, I'm being chased by the misunderstood Iron Pod and the Empire!

The Demon King? Tell him to come. You can avoid the Demon King because I'm good at one thing!

“You can't really be coming, can you? ”

Suddenly, I was worried that this commitment would be a flag, but I didn't care much about my daughter, who soon burst into tears.

It can't be true, right?

# 2 Their Reason: The Reason of the Horsemen.

The Demon King is dead.

Even the Demon Monarchs of tribal societies cannot deny that the Demon Monarchs are very important, both mentally and politically.

Especially if the Dead Demon King is the most reliable Demon King of all time.

After all, the predecessor Demon King.

The stable horseman society was in great turmoil and eventually divided.

And now, the Horses are divided into three factions and have come to a state that is not strange no matter when the war broke out.

A radical wave centered on the Humans' General, Aggreat, whose first faction has the most power.

After uniting the horsepower around General Aggreat who served the Demon King, the main faction was those who insisted on invading the continent where Humans lived.

Unlike the previous Demon King, they value force and prefer war over politics.

The second faction is likewise a warmonger faction that claims peace around the Mankind and the daughter of the late Demon King.

Those who insist that the Horsemen who rule one continent do not need to fight Humans for any particular reason are the ones who continue to maintain the Demon King.

And the third faction is a Trustee who insists that the Demon King sent down by Messin will come this time.

They insist that the true Demon King who endures the blessing of Drinking will be born soon.

These three factions continue to struggle to gain control of the Magic System, but no one has been able to end this chaos.

There is only one reason this chaos will not end.

The only way to become a Demon King is to withstand the blessing of the Tribe, which the Trustworthy claim is to receive more choices from one tribe and 101 tribes.

Already radical and moderate groups are supported by 50 tribes each.

Now, a tribe's choice is as good as the fate of the Horsemen.

“Weren't the Circus extinct? ”

The problem was that one species did not exist on the continent.

“Princess.”

“Hnng... ”

A little girl called Princess grunts and hits her head on the desk.

“You haven't... found it yet, have you? ”

“Yes, it's human territory, so there's a lot of difficulty in finding it because it can't move easily. ”

“Of course.”

Lizardman's words, called inspiration, start groaning at the desk again.

“The trust clearly states that the Circubus are not extinct, but living in the midst of humans. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“And that number is……. ”

“Just one. According to the laws of the Maw, she is the head of the clan and can exercise the rights of the clan of the Circus. ”

“Only one choice can change the history of the Horsemen……. ”

Unlike humans, the Horses are a tribal society.

Thus, it is difficult to ignore the will of the tribal members and give their opinions lightly, even if the chieftain is powerful.

But the entire Circus family is extinct and there is only one survivor left.

That is why the survivor is one and the whole tribe.

So if I could only get one of those circumstance.

“Perhaps the Demon King won't be stripped of his seat. ”

She squeezes her lips and stares at the photo of the leading Demon King.

“Father, help me for the peace of the world. ”

“Princess……. ”

If the Circus falls into the hands of a radical Aggrette, she could be confident that the worst war would ever start in the history of the Horsemen.

To be honest, she strongly believed that Aggreat might be involved in the sudden death of the Demon King.

“The moment Aggreat becomes King of the Demon, he will begin an invasion of humanity that has never been carried out by his father. I have to be the Demon King to stop it. ”

“For that, we will do our best. Princess.”

“Yes, give me a little more strength. ”

As soon as the Succubus is taken away, the only way left is to be the Demon King accepted by Marcin through the blessings of Drinking.

But it's a curse that only three Horsemen have succeeded so far.

Most of the Mages died with terrible agony as soon as they were blessed with drink.

I am not afraid of his sacrifice, but I am afraid that if he does, there will be no one to stop him.

“So, please…. ”

May we find the only survivor of the Circus before Aggreat does.

She didn't even dream of praying to him like that.

Before she or Aggreat ascended to the Demon King's throne.

The birth of a true Demon King who endured the blessing of Drinking.

At that time, she had no idea.
