Chapter 333 – Volume 67 – Heroes of a World Where Heroes Disappeared (3)
“Ugh…!”
“Father, I’m sorry, but I will detain you for a while.”
If my father can unleash Rika’s abilities.
There was no way to prevent it other than arresting my father.
… Once you do that, after rescuing Rika.
We need to think about ways to prevent that liberation.
“Thank you both. Thanks to you, I stopped my father.”
“Why don’t you say thank you after you save Rika?”
“That’s right. You haven’t found Rika yet.”
“That’s right…”
Because my father was not the kind of person who would open his mouth to things like our torture.
It was difficult to find out where Rika was.
But before I bump into my father, I figured out the movement route in this lab.
I guess I should go there first.
“Don’t go. If you go there by yourself, you will surely die…”
“Maybe. But I can’t leave Rika alone in a place like that.”
Looking at that warning, Rika is currently in a place where those ‘demons’ are.
It seemed like that was the right place we were trying to go.
… It was definitely dangerous, but she couldn’t leave Rika there.
“Guys, I’ll go alone. I can’t drag you into such a dangerous place.”
“What are you talking about? I have something to do with this.”
“I am Kali’s knight. For that reason, I cannot let you go alone.”
“…”
Both of them seemed to absolutely not want to tolerate that.
… Forcing this away would be bad manners in its own way.
In times like this, it would be right to calmly overcome this danger together.
‘Well, those are the stories I always wanted to tell.’
We looked at each other and nodded.
I immediately started moving to ‘the place’ where Rika would be.
“And actually, I have a slightly different reason.”
“Any other reason?”
“Because in the end, our family couldn’t protect each other.”
“…”
Yuria is due to the plot of those who want to use her as a human experiment.
Her mother became addicted to drugs and was so broken that she sold her daughter.
She had to go through the terrible experience of selling her precious family to drugs.
Although I can’t say that the mother who fell for her trick is bad.
Still, it would have been the same for her mother and daughter for not being able to protect her precious family.
… Yuria was too young at the time to achieve that.
Still, I guess I regret it.
“It would have been better if I had become a test subject calmly. Even though she was a mother, she would not have been ruined.”
“… Yuria”
“Before, I just hated it, but now my thoughts have changed.”
Of course, there are cases like saints who overcome such suffering.
Still, you can’t blame the person who lost.
To be honest, no one knows how fierce that person was at the time.
“You’ve grown.”
“Because I have a good teacher next to me.”
“…”
“Anyway, it’s like vicarious satisfaction in its own way. If Carly can save her family, I feel like it proves that I could do that too.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Hehe.”
To be honest, I was receiving help from very reliable people.
I was able to move towards the final battlefield in a fairly good mood.

A feeling that the body is tightly bound.
The heat is so hot that it takes your breath away.
Rika forced her eyes open due to that painful sensation.
“… This place?”
And at that moment, the memories she had experienced earlier quickly passed through her mind.
Her own father, who looked at her coldly and called her by some strange name.
The people who were arrested and dragged here forcibly.
“What on earth happened?”
She ran out of her house, regretting what she had done to her brother.
I was at a loss as to what to do next.
I was attacked by strange guys, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange laboratory.
But it was none other than her father who was there.
Her father treated her as if she were his own property and transported her here, as if she was a stranger.
… I think he called himself the term ‘star’ and a strange series of numbers.
“What is that…?”
A mass of bizarre, writhing tentacles dragging and moving around.
Strange eyes were attached to that lump, and it was scary.
Open your eyes wide in the direction of the strange sound.
At that moment, the intense light from the eyes burned everything.
“Sigh…”
As soon as she saw that outrageous sight, Rika covered her mouth with her hand.
… If she finds out she’s here.
Because I was just saying that I had to face that light as is.
‘Where on earth am I…? What on earth are those monsters?’
Although she didn’t understand any of it.
After calming down and thinking for a moment, he looked very relaxed.
She shook off the fear that was in her body.
‘… I guess so.’
She only ended up hurting her brother, whom she had previously considered precious.
After doing so many bad things, you have no conscience and try to be happy as if nothing happened.
In the end, it was just God trying to punish.
A person who did not deserve to be happy sang about happiness.
They would have taken everything that was appropriate for him and consigned him to this hell.
… She certainly deserves to be treated like that. I thought so.
“Ah…”
In the end, a monster passing by here looks this way.
To erase foreign substances from this world, or to destroy her own enemies.
Once she was recognized as such, her bizarre eyes flashed.
“Oppa, I’m sorry…”
She is a heat that will burn away the mass of sin that is herself.
Watching that crazy hot heat heading towards you.
Rika slowly closed her eyes.
“Rika…!”
Kwaaaaang!
With a loud noise, the thing that was tying Rika up was caught in the explosion and flew to the side.
I am out of the range of influence of the intense light that was just fired.
“… Eh?”
“Are you okay? There are a lot of marks on your wrist. What are you doing to your pretty arm?…”
“Oh, dad…? Why?”
“Of course I came to save our precious princess.”
“… A princess.”
She is not a child worthy of being called that.
In a way, he wasn’t even her younger brother, he was just a stranger.
However, my brother didn’t even realize that I was taking care of him and just got angry at me…
“No, I… I’m not that kind of kid.”
“Rika.”
“My brother always loved me, but I was always greedy and wanted more. So I always hurt him…”
“No. I’m just happy that Rika is safe.”
“I am…”
She was not a child worthy of being saved like this.
I should have just faded away and died in that dangerous and intense light.
It’s just such a tiny creature.
“Don’t blame yourself. Everything you think about is what I wanted.”
“…”
“Your difficulties like that are just the result of my greed, which I didn’t want you to know anything about. Don’t blame yourself.”
I can’t know anything.
What makes you so strong?
Why are you trying so hard to protect me, who even my father abandoned?
“Why are you doing this? I’m a bad girl who doesn’t deserve it.”
“But he’s my younger brother.”
“…!”
“They are my family that I cherish, love, and want to be happy with.”
So protecting that family is a natural thing for an older brother to do.
On the contrary, it’s something you have to do as a younger brother.
He told me to be prepared to respond with a happy smile.
“Really, you’re an idiot. Oppa…”
“I hear that a lot.”
Before we knew it, Kali had taken off all the bonds that were binding Rika.
She hugged Rika very affectionately, as if she were a princess.
Although Rika hung her head in apology, she quickly felt at ease in the warmth she felt in her brother’s arms.
“Okay then, let’s go home. I feel like I’ve been caught, but if I run hard, I’ll be able to escape.”
“What on earth is that…?”
“They say it’s a demon race. We need a hero to solve it, but right now the hero isn’t with us. I guess we’ll have to be satisfied with running away.”
“Hero…?”
“Yeah, now that I think about it, Rika has a long story about her feelings.”
“I-I’m not particularly a hero…”
“I wasn’t a hero, but being a hero is cool, right?”
“…”
That’s right, because she wasn’t born a warrior.
Still, she wants to be a warrior.
Because I liked the story of hope that if she wanted to become a hero, she could become one.
“I think so too. You create your own destiny.”
“Yeah…”
“So, don’t worry about your dad or these strange demons.”
“…”
“Rika just needs to find what she wants to do.”
It was a moment when she nodded her head at those warm words and envisioned a happy future.
Before we knew it, the monsters that had gathered began shooting out light at once.
Everyone’s limit was to avoid those lights.
“Damn, I can’t move forward at all.”
And that meant that I couldn’t go all the way to the outside.
In a situation where running away was the only way to survive.
The situation implied a pretty bad ending.
“Huh!?”
In the end, a piece of the rock that collapsed due to the attack hit Kali’s leg.
Kali let go of Rika she was holding and rolled on the floor.
… Of course, the situation was not very different for the other two people.
Everyone, including Kali, lost consciousness and collapsed.
In front of Rika, who was the only one who came to her senses.
Numerous tentacle monsters were blinking their bizarre eyes, looking at their brother and his companions.
“Oh, dad…?”
I don’t like it, don’t do it.
It would be better if only I could die…
Because everyone came to save me, they all die…?
“Oh, no…”
It’s as if he wants to erase everything by emitting pure white light at any moment.
The monsters’ eyes flashed as if they were laughing.
