CH 32

“Owen, …….”

Farren, who had found me, called out to me.

“What’s going on?

“I need to talk to you about something.”

As I left the school building, a girl approached me and said she needed to talk to me.

I mean, a …… confession?

‘It’s a confession, right?’

Yeah, I guess not.’

“Anyway, let’s sit down and talk.”

I found an empty three-seater chair nearby and sat down in it.

Farren followed me and sat down.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“I really wanted to apologize to Owen. I’m sorry about that …….”

Farren turned to me and bowed her head.

It could have been about the battle with the high orc.

You could clear it up with a word of forgiveness, but it seems that Fallen did not want that word.

“Why did you come back then?”

In all likelihood, coming back was a bad idea.

I mean, how could you come back when there’s a monster like that?

The high orcs I had seen in the game in my previous life were just pigs and small fish characters, but in reality they were terrifying monsters.

Huh?

Isn’t it amazing that I was able to fight such a high orc?

“I was worried about you, Owen-san. ……. I couldn’t let you fight alone.”

Farren looked up and responded.

“I thought I told you to run.”

‘I’m grateful for the treatment you gave me.’

However, I feel that if Farren had not come, the high orc would not have …… tried to kill me.’

“I’m sorry ……. I’m …… wondering if I was wrong ……?”

I knew that Farren was a girl with a strong sense of justice.

But I wished she hadn’t bothered to come.

That’s what I thought.

In that sense, Farren’s actions were wrong, but…

“What do you mean, “wrong?” ……?”

“It’s not …… right.”

“Well, yes. And what exactly is that?”

“I think it’s …… making people unhappy or hurting them. I hurt you, Owen, because of me.”

It was not that Farren hurt me, it was just that Dominic was the one who caused it the most.

So, it was not something to worry about. I was not hurt by Farren.

“Then, next time, think about what to do so as to not hurt”

If it doesn’t work out, you can try it next time.

That’s all I was saying.

“Is it wrong to want to save someone? I don’t understand it.”

No, I don’t understand it either.

I had never thought seriously about saving or not saving, and in peaceful Japan, I had never been in this situation.

“I don’t know if it’s wrong to want to save people, but I think there are other ways to save people.”

“But you were fighting alone, Owen-san. I couldn’t escape alone. ……”

“No, I was going to run away too, you know?”

I was not going to be able to do that if I knew that I couldn’t use flight magic.

So, there was no self-sacrifice spirit, as Farren thinks.

“Is that what all saints are like? It’s not easy being a philanthropist.”

Let’s have more fun, let’s make our heads a field of flowers.

It’s called “ppa-ppa-ppa-ppa-ppa.”

I know Farren isn’t that type of a person.

“I have to be an example to others.”

“What is that for?”

“For me to be my own ideal.”

I could see in her eyes the most determined will I had ever seen in my life.

But at the same time, I could sense the danger in her.

“Can’t you just relax your nerves a little?

“Relax my nerves ……?”

“That way of life is exhausting. I mean, it’s tiring for me to watch.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, …….”

“I don’t deny having ideals, but I feel like those ideals are making life difficult for you.”

“That’s not true! I don’t care what happens to me as long as it’s for the sake of my ideals!”

Farren said it forcefully.

It was great to be a straightforward person.

However, I wondered if I would not be able to stand up when the plot is cut off.

In my previous life, I had seen a friend who had a strong conviction lose motivation as if something snapped.

That friend and Farren overlap.

“Oh, I see. Well, don’t think about it too much. If you’re troubled, talk to someone.”

“I don’t have anyone I can talk to.”

“Then you should talk to me. I can be of help to you.”

‘I’m older than you, including my previous life, and I can give you some light advice.’

“Yes, ……. Please let me know when you need to talk.”

Farren looked a little lost, and then said.

“Alright.”

‘I’ll consult with you as much as I want.’

‘I can’t help you with your love life, though.’
