Chapter 56: Hero (Yuusha) Vs Dragon, Part Three, No Apologies Needed
Zect's POV
After my knuckles were broken and blood was everywhere... Maria finally returned to normal.
I don't want to talk to her...
But I can't tell her that...
"Let's go..."
"Ah, um..."
"I..."
"Sorry..."
"Don't talk... let's go."
They could tell I was in a bad mood... and they followed me without saying a word.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Now my life is... over.
I don't know how many people died, but it must have been thousands.
I'm sure the Pope, the Church, and the King would be angry.
* * *
After a while, we arrived in a small town.
We take two rooms in an inn and squeeze ourselves into one room.
We have no choice... And even though we don't want to contact the church so badly... we must use our communication crystals.
And what came up was... Pope Romalis.
Of all people... the Pope...
"..."
I didn't know what to say.
So I just kept my mouth shut.
"Thank you for your help... That's all."
That's all he said... and then the connection was about to go dead.
"Umm... Pope... You don't blame me...?"
"I don't blame you..."
"Why...? Probably thousands of people died this time..."
"It's simple... just make everyone fight, that's all... Let the villagers, merchants, prostitutes, nuns, etc., drop their jobs and whatever else they want to do and march on the Demon King's castle. Those who don't join the fight and those who flee are excommunicated and put to death."
"Are you crazy...?"
"You think so? But this is an easy way to win. Do any of you think we can't win with this strategy? At least we can beat them better than a party of 4 people... And all the demons will be wiped out... no one will be unhappy anymore... and we don't need all the humans... because, at worst... we can beat them with all the church members. Let's do it... all humans vs all demons... we can win for sure."
"It's not possible..."
"Why, Pope? It's a certain victory."
"If we do that... everyone will lose their lives, get hurt, die."
"Don't you understand it...? In the end, you just don't want to do it, so force it on the hero, isn't that right? You don't want to fight, you don't want to lose money... you just want to live happily... and for that, 'Zect and the others are sacrificing themselves,' right? Don't you think it's the hero who 'will not be able to make a living, will be injured, and may die'? That's the kind of life that Zect and the others will lead... But if all human lives the same way for just one month... the demon tribe will be wiped out... Also, you said you would give me a full authority, right? So, now..."
"Wait! I take it back!"
"'The church will be responsible for it... and we'll give you full authority'. Archbishop, you must send word to the kingdom now, all mankind..."
"Wait, we can't do that."
"'If I can do it, I'll do it.' Isn't that what you said? I don't think this operation can be a failure..."
"I'm sorry... my fault."
"If you're sorry... don't do this."
"Yes, please let me take it back... Please... If we do this... the world will..."
"I'm sorry I was mean... and I really don't mean to..., but it is what it is... Everyone is forcing the four of us to do what we should be doing... So don't complain about it... And 1,000? 100,000? 100 million people... half of all mankind, no matter how many die, no one is qualified to take responsibility, after all, they live happily and 'bet on' with people they don't want to do it... isn't that it?"
* * *
"That's what Ceres..."
"Well... when you return from battle and rest at the inn, you look at the town and think... why are the adventurers at the tavern laughing? Why do the merchants do their business as usual? Why do the nobles live in wealth? If there was a real war, the whole kingdom would be fighting, so they can't live such happy lives..."
I'm such an idiot...
"..."
"So I decided... Even though some of the archbishops were against it... but we couldn't argue with Ceres-dono... so I decided not to let the hero's party take any responsibility."
"..."
"Well then... thank you for your hard work."
With that, the crystal went dead.
I was such an idiot...
I've expelled the one person who understands us the best.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
