Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 325: Hero of Laios (4)

Chapter 325: Hero of Laios (4)

I had no choice but to look out of the royal castle with a delighted expression. My good mood was indeed inevitable.
Of course, it wasn’t that there weren’t any unpleasant parts at all, but it was because mostly everything was going as I had initially thought. I couldn’t even sleep properly from the amount of people that had gathered last night.
It was annoying to become a hero in a country, but it was also definitely a good thing.
Looking outside, I could see the citizens of the neutral country praying for my safety.
It was even touching to see people of all ages, young and old, and foreigners from all over the continent.
I could be sure that a scene like this wouldn’t be made even if Pristina, Queen of Laios, was the one on her deathbed.
‘Of course, they should do that.’
What they saw through the Goddess’s Mirror on that day was truly the standard of sacrifice. What they saw were true heroes.
There was Park Deokgu, a warrior who had tried to defend me whilst covered in blood, Han Sora, who continued to chant spells with her skinny body exposed to dark magic, and Jung Hayan and I, who decisively defended the demon’s attack while being surrounded by light. Even though we all frequently vomited blood and grabbed our chests as we reached our limit, the image that we tried to protect Laios was an image that would only ever be seen in epics.
‘It was a perfect picture.’
I feel proud, even as I thought about it again.
Just as expected.
Loud voices were already starting to be heard from outside. They must have listened to the news that I had already woken up.
‘Hyunsung also came, right?’
The person who was waiting with Park Deokgu, who woke up the fastest, for me to wake up was, of course, the lovely regressor.
When I heard the news that he had been walking outside for a very long time because he was told that I had to be absolutely calm, I felt moved.
‘Right. I can also understand you.’
I had already felt someone supporting him right from the very start.
No, it can be said that it is uncertain to say that he was being supported, but at least it was undeniable that a transcendental entity had been gazing at him.
Again, it was correct to think that I had received a bit of it because I had pledged my loyalty towards him.
‘It’s a semi-mythic grade class. Semi-mythic grade.’
It is very strange and annoying that the reward for being upgraded to a semi-mythic grade was only 5 magic power, but it was also unusual for a class to be rated a ‘semi-mythic’ quality.
Since my magic had the nature of divine power, I was the only person in the State, no, the continent that could use both divine power and magic.
It was a little perplexing at the moment, but considering that the transcendental entity did not want Jung Hayan to die, I had to take note of this as well.
If I had not healed Jung Hayan’s body at that time, I bet she would not have woken up until now.
Perhaps she would’ve even lost her life.
‘It thinks that Jung Hayan is also important.’
To analyze it, the transcendental being looking at all of this from above was hoping for Kim Hyunsung and Jung Hayan to not die.
For example, it was the reason why Kim Hyunsung had no choice but to return.
So, assuming that an invisible threat was real, it made sense to hope that Jung Hayan was safe. Though she had monstrous stats, her safety was still of the utmost priority.
I didn’t want to imagine losing a card named Jung Hayan when I was to think of preparing for an invisible threat.
Despite receiving various buffs, blocking a massive attack falling across the city was an achievement great enough that the common people wouldn’t understand.
[Alchemist of Light (Semi-Mythic)]
[It is said that only those chosen by God can change class to Alchemist of Light. The magic power will have divine power. Magic power increases by +5. I’ll just say one thing, you’re a real son of a bitch. Disgusting bastard. Really, you are really irreparable trash.]
‘I think this one hates only me that much…’
In the meantime, I still felt like the system hated me, something I didn’t understand at all. However, it didn’t change the fact that I was getting to enjoy more and more benefits.
In any case, I had to prepare to greet the guests, those from the State, from the Holy side, and Laios. Many guests awaited the hero.
As I looked next to me, I saw Jung Hayan, who had also just gotten up.
Since we had to live only within the boundaries of Yuno Kasugano, Sora wasn’t the only one watching out for Jung Hayan.
Having to use one ward for three was very fun for some, but hell for others.
Still, unlike Han Sora, who had recovered her energy to some extent, Jung Hayan’s face was pale, so I had no choice but to feel worried.
No matter how much semi-mythic magic I gave, and regardless of the fact that her magic power stat was 99, it was apparent that she was experiencing side effects from using excessive magic power.
However, she didn’t look upset.
Just as I enjoy the Laotian people’s worry, Jung Hayan also seemed to enjoy the situation where I would worry about her.
‘It seems like she’s getting strangely similar to me.’
She held the ring with her left hand as if it were precious, so even if her body was struggling right now, she still thought that she gained more than what she lost.
“Hayan, do you feel better?”
“Yes, Oppa. It is still impossible to use magic, but… no problem. It’s okay. Ahem, ahem. It’s really okay. You don’t need to… ahem. worry.”
I already knew that her continuous coughing was just acting, but I had no choice but to worry as I knew the condition of Jung Hayan better than anyone else.
“Are you really okay?”
“Yes. I’m really okay. Ugh… I’m really okay, so don’t worry… ahem.”
Even the way she grabbed her chest was a spectacle.
“Ahem, ahem. I-I’m sorry. Actually, I’m not okay. Ahem. I-I think I will be better if you pat me a little. You know, that magic power.”
“Ah… Okay.”
“My chest hurts so much. Ahem. My chest… My chest hurts so much.”
“Okay.”
“It hurts so much. O-Oppa…”
Also, there are now reasonable excuses.
Jung Hayan already knew that my magic power also contained divine power.
After she woke up, I had already been sending her magic power dozens of times, but she silently showed off her chest as if she was still hungry for more.
When I put my hand on her, the sight of her flinching looked strangely cute.
“Huh…”
She made a strange sound for a moment, but for now, I had to send magic power to her desperately.
Anyway, if I wanted to greet the guests soon, it would not be bad to extract some magic power now.
“Yes. A little m-more left from there. Not in the middle… my c-chest area hurts. Please do it around the chest area. My chest… my chest hurts so much.”
“Do you feel better now?”
“Huh… no. A little bit more… Just a little more. The middle of my chest hurts so much. Ahem. Ugh… Huh. The middle hurts, so there…”
I didn’t know exactly where the middle of her chest was, but her face had begun to turn red, whether it was from pain or pleasure.
Han Sora didn’t even know where to look in this sudden situation. I also felt embarrassed.
We kept trying not to make eye contact with each other, and then, voices came from outside.
In any way, they saved both Han Sora and me.
Jung Hayan looked at me as if it was a pity, but I couldn’t always accept this stupidity.
“I’ll do the rest later.”
“Yes…”
She had a long expression. However, she also looked like she needed to control herself.
It was impossible to say that she had matured, but she seemed to at least have regained some sort of composure.
This could all be said to be the influence of the proposal.
I roughly arranged the sheets, and as I got up, and I saw a face that looked a little pale, whether it was the influence of having my magic power drained by Jung Hayan.
The original pale Jung Hayan and Han Sora, who were slow to recover, was also not easy.
I was a little sorry to hear Park Deokgu’s voice, but the remorse soon turned into approval. At this point, the door had opened with a rattling sound.
Some of the barriers that had covered the room during that time were immediately dismantled, and at the same time, several people quickly entered the room.
“H-Hyung-nim! Hyung-nim!”
The first thing I heard was Park Deokgu’s voice, but the other thing I also noticed was the maid Alice, no, the person who should now be called Oscar.
“Honorary Cardinal!”
It was very embarrassing to be hugged at the same time as she jumped. I knew she would be worried about me, but not to this extent.
“Sniff…Sniff… Is your body, your body okay?”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Where were you injured? Can… ugh… you recognize me?”
“Of course, Mr. Oscar. You didn’t have to come here… It looks like I made you worry.”
“Wow…”
It seemed that she was unable to hold back her bursting cries.
Still, as she was the head of a country, I thought she would show a little definite appearance, but she couldn’t hide the anxiety she had in her heart.
I wasn’t in a bad mood, but it was no wonder that I would still be watching out for Jung Hayan.
As I turned, I saw Jung Hayan looking certainly unpleased.
I thought it would be okay as she was being quiet at first.
‘No…’
Rather, there were completely different emotions on her face.
‘What should I say…?’
Instantly, I realized that the expression she wore was one of superiority. Soon enough, Hayan began to stroke the ring on her finger.
‘Is that supposed to be effective…?’
Of course, it may be as ambiguous to say that this worked, but the sense of superiority on her face had not disappeared.
Nevertheless, as the cuddling time got longer, she gradually began to look nervous, but when I pulled her off a little, Hayan settled for nodding as she knew I would eventually do this.
As I looked at the people who came to this hospital room one by one, familiar faces that I had not seen before came into my eyes.
“Hyung-nim. Hyung-nim… Haap. Is Hayan okay? What about Sora? Is everything okay?”
“Yes, Deokgu. There seems to be nothing wrong. We were a little blank, but as for the whole body… I think we’re doing better.”
“Isn’t it back to normal, yet?”
“No. No. It’s okay. There is nothing wrong with the body. The same goes for all others.”
Park Deokgu was squeezing me whilst he tended to his runny nose.
The guild members who came together were also visible.
Sun Hee-young was also looking very relieved, and Cho Hyejin looked really surprised, Kim Ye-ri seemed to be overwhelmed with guilt for some reason, and Ahn Ki-mo was still smiling.
I could also see Yoo Ah-young and Kim Chang-ryul.
“Fortunately. Vice Guild Master. The outsiders said that the sky helped…”
“I think so, too.”
Seeing Lee Jihye’s face glancing at me from behind, she seemed disappointed that I hadn’t contacted her.
Still, I could see her sweeping away from her chest as if knowing that her turn would be later.
I started to get tired as I continued to greet the people of the Laios and those who came to see my condition from the Holy side.
However, I was still grateful for everyone worrying about this.
Duchess Catherine, no, people like Senator Catherine and Senator Elise were also shedding tears. Many of the personal connections that I had built up flashed at my awakening after a long time.
Of course, I smiled as innocently as I could and responded to their worries.
“Er…”
“Oh.”
“Kiyoung-ssi.”
“Hyunsung-ssi!”
And there entered Kim Hyunsung, our lovely regressor.
