Warriors’ Adventures After the Doomed End by the Most Powerful Villainous Aristocrat 〜I Failed to Avoid the Doomed End, but I Was Saved by the Main Heroine, a Saint Who Turned Into a Yandere Just Before the Execution. Now I’m Going to Get Serious and Become a Warrior~
–Packing.
With such a sound, the knight’s sword broke from the middle.
“How …… did you ……?”
The knight was stunned to realize that his own sword had been broken before he knew it.
“–Vane san, you win!”
“I-I lost ……?”
The knight did not even seem to understand that he had lost.
“How …… did you do it? Why are you so …… strong? You’re supposed to be a villain. ……”
“I’m trying really hard not to die, in case you were wondering.”
It’s only a knight.
There’s no way this sword, which I’ve trained so hard to avoid the flag of destruction, will lose.
“T-The knight lost …… ……?!!!”
Then I heard such a voice from behind me.
When I turned around, there were dozens of onlookers rolling their eyes in astonishment.
–Oh, I’ve done it!
Vane, who was not supposed to be very strong, was seen beating up a knight. ……
Perhaps the story will soon spread to many places and …… eventually reach the ears of the hero.
I wonder how much that will affect the scenario. ……
I left the place with a melancholy step.
“Haaaaaa…… I did it ……!”
I sigh and lie down on my bed in my room.
That many people saw me.
Combined with the revocation of the beheading, I’m sure I’m going to be in trouble tomorrow. ……
“I mean, the source of the whole thing–isn’t that Chloe ……?”
I can’t blame her, though, since she is the source and …… benefactor.
“-Did you call me?”
“Woah?!”
When I turned around in surprise, there was a silver-haired girl – Chloe.
What, wait, this is my room, right? And it’s locked.
I backed away a little in surprise and fear.
“W-Why are you here?!”
“… Why are you surprised? I’m Vane san’s official watchdog, so it’s not strange for me to be in his room, right?”
“I-Is that so? …But how did you get in here in the first place!”
“Isn’t lockpicking a girl’s hobby?”
With that said, Chloe takes out two wires.
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, there can’t be such a maidens ……!
“By the way, you seemed to be troubled by something, is something wrong?”
Chloe then said this to me as if she was worried about me.
“Well,……, a little bit of everything.”
“What do you mean by ‘things’ ……? If you like, I can help you with that.”
“No, ……, I’m fine.”
I can’t talk to Chloe about the scenario or the original story.
“I see. …… Well, let me guess!”
“Huh?”
“I’m sure you don’t want your abilities to come to light, and you’re worried that a lot of people saw you fight earlier.”
“!??”
“I guess I was right about that …… reaction, huh?”
Chloe smiled.
“….., that’s a great answer,……, how did you know?”
“Well, I’m Vane san’s stalker …..no, I love Vane san, so I kind of know!”
I think I just heard some disturbing words, but I’m sure I’m imagining it ……?
Let me believe I’m imagining it, …… please!
“But I don’t understand,…… why Vane-san tries so hard to hide his ability,…… when in fact he is so strong that he can even beat that sword saint.”
“……!”
Does she even know that I’ve beaten Wills ……?
I sighed and decided to give up and tell her a little situation.
“A little circumstance,…… for example, what if, in a heroic tale, the beaten man was more famous and stronger than the hero? …… the story wouldn’t work, would it?”
“…. but your life, Vane san, is not a heroic tale.”
“No, it’s a heroic tale,…… and I’m the one who gets beat up,…… and if I act badly and the hero doesn’t properly defeat the bad guy, then we’re in big trouble. …So I don’t want to stand out, I don’t want to reveal my abilities.”
The scenario is absolute.
The hero is the only one in this world who can defeat the evil god – in other words, if I act badly and mess up the scenario, the world will be destroyed.
“…..”
“Eh?”
“That’s not true! This world is not a story, it’s not a heroic tale… Even if it was, I’d destroy that heroic tale!”
“H-Huh!? Did you hear what I said? If the scenario – the heroic tale – goes wrong, the heroes can’t defeat the bad guys. In other words, it’s the same as if the …… world were destroyed.”
“If that’s the case, then let that world be destroyed! This is …… Vane san’s life is not part of a heroic tale, it’s your story alone, Vane san.”
Chloe grabbed my shoulder vigorously and looked me in the eye as she continued her words.
“There are no heroes or protagonists in this world! Even if this world is a game, there is no need for you to act according to that scenario.”
“!? How did you know that ……?”
“Felt often mentioned it… games, heroines, protagonists… I felt something was off so after that, I investigated and found out that this world is the world of the game you all played in your previous lives.”
Felt ……?
So, then, he’s a reincarnated person too?
I couldn’t hide my astonishment.
“Vane san,…… this world is real. There are no roles of villains or protagonists, no assigned duties, no actions that must be done,…… nothing.”
This world is …… real.
I felt like I’d forgotten that fact, until now.
“Vane san’s life is your protagonist. You can live your life as you like, okay?”
Chloe smiled fleetingly and wrapped her warm hands around mine.
The next moment, I suddenly felt as if my body had become lighter.
The chains were untied, the fetters were released, and the weight was gone.
Ah, so …… I had been too caught up in the scenario.
Then Chloe suddenly looks like she’s done it.
“–I’m so sorry! When it comes to Vane san, I just get so excited…”
“No,…… thank you, thanks to you I realized something important.”
I keep echoing Chloe’s words in my mind, ‘Vane’s life is not part of a heroic tale, it’s Vane san’s story alone.’
This is my life, my story.
I can live it however I want. ……
I squeezed Chloe’s hand back tightly.
“A scenario in which you can’t be happy is unnecessary. I’ll bet my life on it and rewrite it into a scenario in which you can be happy…!”
“Did you say something?”
“N-No, nothing!”
