Chapter 5 : Cheater rather than a Hero

"I’"

As he said it, Hajiirl panicked and tried to stop hiot blurred into a h her desperation was conveyed

"W-Wait! Please! Save me…"

"Nope"

Hajime said that and continued to close the door Is a devil

"W-Why? I will do anything"

The girl was desperate Only the head was seen, but her face was enough to transloomy manner

"Hey, this is the bottom of the abyss I cannot possibly release someone that has been sealed in here It would be absolutely dangerous With the exception of the seal, nothing else is here…there isn’t anything to help you escape For that reason…"

His argument was sound He wasn’t a nor voice of a captured girl and release her without any hesitation Original-gentle Haji so coldly refused, the desperate girl raised her voice as she was on the edge of tears

"No! Cough…I’ the door unaltered A little tirind his teeth If he had had only closed it faster, he would have heard…

"I was just betrayed"

The closing door that only had a sirl’s cry reached it Only a little light got through the crack into the dark room 10 second, then 20 seconds pass Finally the door started to open again Hajime stood at the doorith a sour face like he had been bitten by 100 bugs and chewed up one

He did not have any intention to help her There must have been a suitable reason to be sealed in here There was no evidence to prove that there wasn’t any danger Being deceived by a wicked being was a highly likely possibility It was appropriate to forsake her

"I wonder what I’hed inwardly His heart had shaken when she said "betrayed" The past should have been behind hi to fulfill his wish to "live" was extrees were unnecessary distraction If her words could affect him this much, there was probably a part of him that had not moved on Parts of Hajime’s consciences probably still existed if he could syirl that had the same circumstance as hiirl Of course, he wouldn’t lower his guard

"You said betrayed? I don’t believe that is the reason you were sealed If what you said was true, why did the betrayer seal you in here?"

The girl was stunned when Hajih her abundant dirty blond hair, her red eyes stared at Hajiot irritated with her lack of response "Hey Are you listening? If you are not going to talk, I’athered herself and begun telling the reason for her sealing

"I’reat power…because of it I worked hard for my country But…one day…all my retainers…told …I was fine with that…However, I was dangerous because of my powers…they couldn’t kill me…so they sealed me…in here"

She talked desperately and bit by bit it becaroaned while he heard the story Seems like the circus that bothered her He inquired as he suppressed his boiling emotions

"You, what royal family are you from?"

"…(Hypnotized)"

"What do you eneration Injuries heal i…is that your great power?"

"Not just that…Magic, direct manipulation…also don’t need foric manipulation caical for his body He did not need incantations for his transed his dependence on hugh ic, because of his zero aptitude His direct ards and this ic for hiical aptitude, she could use soic and she would be able of foul play While other people would be preparing their chants and ical formations, she could just launch a spell at the it Honestly, it wouldn’t be a contest Also, immortality It probably was not absolute, but it still was a cheat better than a hero

"…Help irl pleaded with hiirl, and she returned it How long did they stare at each other…He sighed and scratched his head, and put his hand on the cube that sealed the girl

"Ah"

The girl noticed the nored her reaction as he concentrated on his transic had changed after he ate the de Hajime’s transmutation It was exactly like the bedrock at the top and bottom of a level The cube was not coic started to erode areas around the cube

"Ku, resistance is strong…but, the present ic The equivalent to a six phrase incantation Finally, the s, it was bathed in criic He poured 7 phrase…8 phrase…The stone around her seal started to tremble

"Still more!"

He fired himself up as he poured 9 phrase worth If it was an attribute rand level spell No, the aht continued to rapidly grow brighter Vahtness and Hajime

Sweat started to drip froe-scale ic If his control slipped for just a e Even with all this power the cube did not deforic

Hajiirl he just met He couldn’t help it because he didn’t want to leave her alone Already, Haji all his ene" inwardly He wanted to treat everything with a clear solution He becaht Genuinely, he was going to release all histo fulfill its goal!

The cube around the girl started toreleased froot free Her swollen chest cahs Under those cubes, she earing nothing Even though her body was emaciated, she still had a mystique beauty to her She dropped into a childish seat after all her body was set free Her body seey to stand up

Hajime also sat down His shoulders and breath huffed and puffed A heavy sense of fatigue hit hiical reserves With his wild breath and shivering hands he reached for his "potion", but the girl clenched his hand A hand that lacked any power; slanced at her, she was staring at him Her face was in an expressionless state, but her eyes told the real story
