Chapter 24: A Named Emotion

Helot Stanley . The light of salvation from the future . This person was also called a hero .

It was unbelievable to meet him here . I looked sharply at him and I saw no abnormality . He had a humble expression and gentle eyes . To be honest, he looked basically the same . He had a youthful look in the future, and that was more obvious in the past . Besides that, his eyes reflected a certain brilliance of wisdom .

The sun . Yes, the sun could be the appropriate word to describe him . He gave comfort and warmth to all the people who he met and saved . But, he also gave an impression of a burning sun because he was unwavering and formidable . The mighty son of the sun .

「…Hey, what’s up with you . Is my hair color that strange to you? 」

On the other hand . I could say that girl resembled the moon because she always stood by his side .

Filaret la Volgograd . The Sorceress . She was a member of the Hero Party on the rescue journey . In the future, she’ll be responsible for a revolution in the history of witchcraft . A person who will be recognized for her achievements in the Reformation era .

She tied her glossy black hair on her back . Her deep eyes showed a distinctive layer of profound wisdom . I would dare say that her appearance was unique . She had a foreign appearance . Because of her unique charm, she often created a freshly and exciting atmosphere for those around her . Sometimes, I thought that her attractive demeanor was very different from Caria’s looks .

But, at the same time that atmosphere was not welcoming for people like me . I was often pushed away in the rescue journey . It was as if there was a wall between them and me . The Hero, Helot Stanley could be part of that, but I couldn’t . I felt a huge repulsion against him at this moment . However, perhaps they didn’t have a long and deep relationship at this point in time as opposed to their close interactions in the future . Either way, I will never forget how everyone put a “wall” against me from all directions as if they were acupuncture needles .

I see . Still, they looked good together . I bit my tongue involuntarily .

Filaret was too bright to be the moon . But, she wouldn’t be able to be the sun since she stood by Helot Stanley all the time . There was no way she’ll replace him, the true sun . Nevertheless, no one could deny they were a perfect match .

…Even so, I couldn’t stop my nauseating feelings against them .

It seemed like a poisonous blood circulated all over my body . It was as if the guard of hell was calling for my life .

Caria pushed me aside and walked further ahead . Filaret noticed that she held a parchment on her hands and took it away from her . All of us looked a bit puzzled with that . I wondered if she was curious about us or just wanted to tease us with something . Her staring eyes bothered me .

Then, Filaret raised her mouth and laughed as if she was mocking us .

「Oh my, what’s up with this kind of request? I never thought that someone would make a request with this material in the first place . 」

Her words were provocative . She made it seem as if she was picking up a fight with other people . Her statements were quite different from the harsh words of the former Caria Burdnick . It didn’t matter how strong or weak the Sorceress was . Wisdom was what mattered to her . She had wisdom to distinguish the bad from the good . Her decisions were always met with great expectations . She was always very accurate with everything and everybody . Of course, I didn’t have a natural talent for wisdom . But I gained something far greater when I returned to the past . What I had now was knowledge . It was something that she couldn’t surpass with her wisdom .

Caria and Helot Stanley stared at her with surprising looks . They were stunned because of her bold statements . It was natural . We just met each other for the first time on this timeline, and she made a provoking action as soon as she saw our faces . On that moment, only one of us had the nerve to speak back . And with piercing eyes, the following words were spoken .

「…I beg your pardon? Are you implying that we did something wrong? We came all the way here to give that request form to this Guild . Is there anything wrong with that?」

「Ah, well . We’re sorry . Miss Filaret has a tendency of talking with other people in a bold manner . Everything is fine with me . I apologize on her behalf . 」

Helot Stanley spoke to avoid some serious misunderstanding . He looked directly into my eyes . Yes . This was Helot Stanley . I knew he was not the one I hated so much in the future . But, even so, I tried to hold back my resentment towards him as I gripped my teeth intensely .

However, Filaret spoke as if something muddy was stuck to her own heart .

「Yeah, yeah, sorry about that . But, I won’t be taken as fool, you know . 」

She spoke harshly to Helot Stanley, who had to intervene on her behalf . She continued to speak .

「This parchment . Did you hired someone old-fashioned to make a request form using this rotten material? A request form has be presented to the Guild written in a papyrus . If not, then, a verbally form should be the second option . 」

I was getting stressed by just looking at that girl . Yet, Caria put her hand on my shoulder to hold me down . She probably thought that my words could backfire on us . I just sighed in annoyance .

But, I was not the only one who sighed . That disrespectful girl also sighed at us .

「You had the trouble to make your request form in a parchment . How naive . Nobody will take you seriously . This must be the first time that ignorant young lady has made a request . 」

While Caria was someone who killed with her sword, Filaret la Volgograd was a person who killed with her words and wisdom . I remembered that once Helot Stanley spoke something peculiar at dinner table . He said that Filaret made her first request in a parchment .

Filaret looked at us as if we were ignorant . But, my knowledge told me otherwise . How hypocritical could she be when she used a parchment herself once? It was easy for her to show some ruthless superiority to someone who was not an adventurer yet .

The scornful eyes…I see . This has turned into a difficult and shameful situation . I wondered if newly appointed adventurers gave up immediately after experiencing a similar situation with her . It was extremely rude to take something from other people without asking permission . Her curiosity knew no bounds .

She held our parchment and didn’t return it back . When I scratched my chin, some infuriating feelings ran through my spine . Like Caria, I didn’t want to start some meaningless trouble just as we arrived on this city . Therefore, we just stood firm with unwavering eyes .

「I recognize that we were immature on using the parchment . I understand very well why you pointed it out to us . However…You don’t have the right to ridicule her with that . I would like you to return the request form back to us . 」

Helot Stanley took the parchment from her . His grip looked a bit too strong . It looked like iron itself . As long as he didn’t tear the parchment apart…

My blood were boiling again . This man . A man with great spirits . The people greatly respected Helot Stanley for his loving heart and for his strong mind . That’s right . Those two elements were the perfect combination to attract the crowds . He definitely stood out among all of us in the Party . Yeah, that was something I was very aware of . It was unpleasant . Yes, very unpleasant .

I truly wanted to avoid having him as a partner once again . And Filaret la Volgograd as well . I didn’t want to make the same mistake again on this timeline . After all, I tried to be indifferent when I met Caria but I failed on that . So, here I was .

Like Caria, Filaret la Volgograd never bullied me directly . But she treated me coldly .

She would not listen to my opinions . And probably forgot about my existence several times . I never did something wrong to her though . However, for her, perhaps, I was not a real member of the Party . She probably viewed me as some errand boy . At least, she had warm contact with the other members of the Party .

Of course, that was somewhat natural, I suppose . I was just the person who did the odd jobs and chores for all of them . I didn’t have the strength of Caria Burdnick, neither the wisdom of Filaret la Volgograd .

That’s why I judge people with duality . I thought everyone had two-faces . My heart was always cold when meeting other people . I was constantly wary and suspicious of others around me . No wonder, I didn’t have many friends .

She was cold to me, but on the other hand, she was amazingly cheerful around Helot Stanley . She behaved as someone who listened to other people’s words . I guess I was invisible to her, or maybe she looked at me as if she was staring at a piece of trash .

Compared to her treatment, Caria’s cold treatment towards me might have been better . None was fine, of course . But, to Filaret la Volgograd, I was inexistent . While Caria was aware of my presence… . though in a bad way, I suppose .

Filaret la Volgograd took the parchment from Helot Stanley again .

「I refuse . Anyways, you said this is a request form, am I right? So, I should be the one in charge of giving you a request for a mission . 」

I knew them both very well . That’s why I felt both anxiety and bitterness on my heart .

That Filaret la Volgograd stood alongside Helot Stanley as she always did . It seemed like she made a bond with him during this period . It was like tracing something I’ve experience before . That terrible human being will be created once again on this world . My whole body pulsated with angst and resentment .

…Ah, it was much more than that . I felt that a new emotion was being born on my heart .

Was it jealously? No, it was much deeper and darker than that . I could hardly describe this type of emotion .

Ah, I wished that god could grant me a wish . If god gave me an opportunity to wish for something, I would chose to wipe Helot Stanley from the face of this earth . If it weren’t possible, then I would like to be the one who’s wiped out . My heart would be much calmer if god granted me one of those two possibilities .

「 We can receive your request on behalf of this Guild…with one condition . 」

Her eyes were widely open and she shook her hands away from Helot Stanley . Her gaze was quite sharp . It was as if she tried to guess what I was going to say .

Filaret la Volgograd didn’t understood my true intentions . She slowly opened her mouth and said the word I expected to hear .

「 Let’s hear your condition . 」

Ah, I see . I knew how to name this feeling . It was Hatred .

I didn’t want to see him for even once second . I’d hate to see Helot Stanley take everything away from me once again . That’s why I’ll steal everything from him instead . My heart was burning with hatred .
