Chapter 234: A Huge Twist

A Huge Twist

Chirp!

Whats going on?

As Glare approached the bathroom, Roswyn vented her frustration at Frey while staring into the mirror.

Ouch! Hey, what are you doing Ouch!

A canary pecked at her forehead, and she instinctively swatted at it.

Chirp! Chirp!

Argh, ack!

Relentlessly, the canary continued its assault on her forehead.

Ugh

Roswyns eyes welled up from the weak but fierce attack, which also left a slight scrape, drawing blood.

This is

In a foul mood, she summoned solar mana and aimed it at the canary.

Chirp~

Huh, what?

Despite Roswyns attack, the canary trilled a beautiful song and flapped its wings.

Roswyns weak solar mana was no match for Clanas fully awakened mana. In fact, the canary absorbed the mana.

Really Why.. Why cant anything go right for me lately!!

Bang! Bang!

In frustration, Roswyn unleashed random shots of solar mana.

Chirp!

Ah!

Due to her actions, scraps from the broken ceiling struck the canary. Wincing, it lunged toward Roswyns forehead again.

Got you!

Chirp!?

Roswyn, anticipating the attack, caught the canary just before it could peck her forehead again.

Zzzzzz!!!

Kyaaaaaaah!!

Then, something unexpected happened.

Chirp, chirp?

Usually, her Helper System would activate with the flower given by Frey, but it oddly triggered when Roswyn grabbed the petal-turned-canary.

Unbeknownst to her, even the effects of the [Closed Conquest Route] were active.

Ugh

Thud

Overwhelmed by the side effects, Roswyn collapsed onto the bathroom floor.

After a while, the canary managed to escape her grasp.

Peck, peck, peck!!

Looking at the momentarily unconscious Roswyn, it angrily pecked at her forehead.

Chirp! Chirp!

This continued until Glare entered the bathroom several minutes later.

Ugh

It was dark all around.

Where am I

Clutching her throbbing head, Roswyn rose and muttered in the gloomy space.

Is this my room?

Despite the deep darkness, the unmistakable signs of her room surrounded herthe walls adorned with her favorite flowers and albums featuring pictures of the Hero she adored.

But I was in the bathroom just now

Roswyn was puzzled over how she had transitioned from battling a fierce canary to sitting in her room.

Am I dreaming?

She entertained the thought for a moment and cautiously took a step forward.

Surveying the room, she hoped to awaken from this perplexing dream.

Huh?

However, as she moved, something hugged her foot.

Ah!

Startled, she looked down and screamed at the sight before her.

..

Beneath her was a girl, her head bowed.

Wh-who who are you

Maintaining a guarded expression, Roswyn approached the girl cautiously.

Gasp.

Recognition struck her when she saw the girl, and her eyes widened in shock.

Oh my God

The girl was none other than herself.

Hehe.

Yet, she looked different from her present self. A dazed expression lingered on her face, with visible traces of dried tears. Her hair, a tangled mess with some parts falling out, held an unexpected silver hue.

Hero?

Eek!

Staring at her own image, Roswyn recoiled at the sound of her own voice and fell to the floor in shock.

Th

Quickly, she opened her mouth, scanning the surroundings.

Oh my

The walls had scratch marks, and numerous photos of Ruby and flowers received by her were scattered on the floor.

But what about the photos and flowers currently hanging on the walls?

Star flowers?

Upon this realization, Roswyn glanced back at the wall, recognizing that all the flowers adorning her room were star flowers. She took a slow step back.

So the photos?

Gradually sensing that something was off, she looked up.

A familiar face met her gaze.

Why?

It was a once-familiar face, one she believed she would have forever. But now, it seemed like something she might never have again.

Hehe, he.

As her consciousness waned, Roswyn heard her own laughter echoing as she stared at the photo.

Whats going on?

She closed her eyes and pondered the inexplicable situation.

Th, this

Upon waking up and opening her eyes, she was greeted by a floating system window.

Ruby surveyed her surroundings. She saw Vener, sobbing but still showing great loyalty, the paladin moving her shield lifelessly, and Ferloche shouting at the top of her lungs.

This is madness.

She muttered softly and drew the Fake Heros sword.

Crack!!!

She attacked with overwhelming force.

Hmm?

However, Dmir Khan easily dodged her attack.

Thats strange

Dmir Khan mused, looking down at Ruby with a curious expression.

You dont seem as strong as when we fought before

Is it true that youve fallen ill, or is there another reason you cant attack me seriously?

Tsk.

Could it be, itd be problematic for you if I die?

From Rubys perspective, it would indeed be problematic.

After all, Dmir Khan was a crucial asset in the Demon Army, and it was imperative to keep him alive.

How did this happen

She knew that such a situation could arise, which was precisely why she had the genius Serena as her subordinate.

But the scenario she had dreaded the most had finally unfolded.

Bang!!

Heroooo!!

What now?

The tightly sealed doors shattered, and Roswyns voice echoed. The Demon King gritted her teeth and muttered.

Hero! Its me, Roswyn!

Oh, I see.

Roswyn, panting heavily after hurrying to Rubys side, received a grimacing response.

Ive awakened! Now, I can help you, Hero!

What?

Taken aback, Ruby questioned as Roswyns eyes sparkled.

Oh my God! Why are you so hurt?!

Ha, haha As you can see, the situation is

What should I do? Hero!

Roswyn, looking at the heavily injured Ruby, spoke.

Im fine, so please take shelter over there

Somewhat irritated, Ruby gently whispered and pushed her aside.

Here, drink this!

What?

Roswyn handed over a bubbling potion, and Ruby looked puzzled.

Its a special potion only the Hero can take. Drinking this will increase your stats and heal you!

Hmm.

Ruby, suspicious, took the potion bottle with a slight smile.

Well, if thats the case.

Soon after, she took a sip of the potion.

Wow!!!!!

Ferloche, watching the scene blankly from the side, rushed toward her with a silly smile.

You did amazing! Truly impressive!

Yes, uh-yes?

This is insane!! Miss Roswyn!

Shortly after, someone grabbed either Roswyns collar or shoulder and shook her vigorously.

Ugh.

Having taken a sip of the potion, Rubys face twisted in distaste, and she tilted her head.

What is this?

Suddenly

[Compatibility Assessment Completed]

Huh?

A system window emerged in front of her.

[Assessment Result: Unqualified]

..?

Roswyn stared blankly at the incomprehensible word.

[Solution: Transfer control to the one most helpful to the Hero]

What, what did you say?

Upon seeing the alarming message, she muttered in confusion.

[Transferring.]

Huh? Wha?

It was already too late.

[Transfer Complete]

Uh.?

In front of her, the words Transfer Complete lingered for a while.

[Transferred Function: Helper System Window Control]

[Concurrently Owned Function: System Window Summoning]

[Functions Not Transferred: Detection Penalty Invalidation, System Notifications, Achievement Notifications, etc.]

..

Roswyn stared blankly at the system window for a long time, remaining silent upon seeing the words written.

[Control Locked]

What, whats this?

With a lock icon, she realized her system control was blocked, muttering in a resentful voice.

Hero! Dont worry! I will protect you!

I never thought Id get an invitation to the Heros Party. I never even dreamed of it.

Although Im a secret member with this maybe I can effectively restrain Frey.

Behind Roswyn, Vener, still loyally shouting, Arianne, still dazed, and Alice, still looking cold, approached Ruby.

Crack!

Hmm?

A window appeared before the eyes of Glare, who had been watching the whole scene.

Helper System

> Identity of the Hero

The identity of the Hero, as you know [Error]

[System Error Being Fixed.]

Whats this?

It was the moment she recalled the opaque window that she had always seen.
