Heroes are often seen as morally bankrupt individuals.
With such a pervasive perception, adventurers generally viewed heroes negatively, and thus, the adventurers in this party likely saw this situation as an opportunity.
Despite having the power to obliterate enemies that would give the entire party a hard ti, the fact that this hero willingly agreed to equal profit sharing and even mundane errands was remarkable.
Wasnt it perfect to exploit soone like that, not just as a pushover but also as a stress-relief doll?
Ha, when they said Fallen Hero, I thought it ant soone powerless and useless, but even a fallen hero is still a hero, huh?
I get the barricade, but making her do the dishes seems a bit too much.
The vanguard was looking anxious and apprehensive at the mages words.
But his concern seed more about whether the hero might use her power for revenge than worry for Ga-rams wellbeing.
No matter how much they considered themselves superior to a Fallen Hero, given her abilities displayed so far, they must know that they could be easily crushed
Ah, whats there to be afraid of? If the world were simply ruled by the strong, humanity would have fallen to the heroes long ago, not to empires.
On the other hand, the mage, despite witnessing such power, showed no hesitation in her actions.
Their nonchalant and mocking deanor indicated a complete lack of guilt or discomfort with their actions.
Initially, heroes have to kowtow to their patrons to maintain their authority. So, its not strange for us to exert so dominance over this hero who cant even recruit a single adventurer. Dont you think so, too, monk?
Well, considering the hero who wasted my monasterys sponsorship money, I cant even pretend to have a good impression of heroes.
See, even the pure monk says so. You can be shaless about it. If that hero gets mad and kills us all, then there really wont be any adventurers willing to party with her.
The mage chuckled, looking toward where Ga-ram went to do the dishes.
As the mage spoke unabashedly, the monk and the vanguard gradually agreed, while the sniper watching them shook his head with a bitter smile.
What a situation. The culprit and the victim are different
Whats with you? Youve been mocking her all this ti, and now you suddenly back out?
I just believe in doing as much work as I receive. I can handle a joke in front of others, but backbiting like this doesnt sit well with . Ill take my leave for a bit to scout around. You guys take so more rest.
Saying so, the sniper left the scene.
The mage, who had been gossiping, watched his back with a sullen expression.
Well, if there was no more gossip, then there was no need for to be here either.
Whats with you? Suddenly losing interest Huh? Where are you going now?
Im worried about the hero. Ill go check on her.
Ha! Whats there to worry about? The areas all barricaded, and that rascal checked for traps, too~
You never know what might happen.
Even if the hero was in a position where she couldnt oppress the party, if sothing happened to her, they would have to directly confront monsters like the gargoyle they initially faced.
With that pretext to leave the gossiping group, the vanguard muttered bitterly.
That guy, ever since I first saw him, I felt he was quite aloof.
Co to think of it, hes quite suspicious in many ways. Hiding his face and even his na as a condition for joining the party
If he were sane, he wouldnt have chosen a spear-wielding class. Pfft, what kind of class is Spearman anyway?
Damn that mage.
Making rember what I had forgotten.
Whatever. Its his business what he does. Lets not bother with it. Speaking of what the hero did earlier
Even after I had stepped away, the mage began gossiping again.
I wanted to intervene, but now I hold a title as infamous among adventurers as the Fallen HeroHero Killer.
If friction escalated, I would have to reveal my identity, and even then, it wouldnt change their perception of the hero, so I tried to stay as detached as possible.
I would have to intervene if things went too far, but that ti shouldnt co just yet.
Its okay.
That faint voice ca when I stood at the entrance of the room where Ga-ram was.
Amidst the clattering sound from the fountain in the middle of the room, I could faintly see Ga-ram washing the dishes, touching her eyes.
Its okay. I can handle this.
A self-reassuring mumble to ease the loneliness of doing dishes
To interpret it that way, even I, eavesdropping, could clearly feel the tremble in that voice.
Im used to this. Everyone said we have to keep the party together, even if its like this
Clatter, clatter. The sound of dishes clashing under the fountain.
As the droplets falling from her face landed on the still-wet dishes, the girls gaze naturally turned to their surface.
To wipe off the droplets with a dishcloth.
I only have this, but if I just endure a little more, everything will be alright
She continued washing the dishes steadfastly, but was it because she couldnt ignore her reflection on the plates?
The girl stopped in her tracks, staring intently at her faint reflection for a while.
No matter how much she tried to console herself, she couldnt ignore her true feelings.
Uh
Trying to suppress the erging sobs, she bit her lip, but with a tender heart, that was impossible.
Tears were bound to break through sooner or later.
Uh, uh
After several attempts to wipe her eyes with her wet hands, her arms slumped to the ground.
Finally, the girl, reaching the limits of her endurance, began to release her suppressed emotions alone.
So, youve killed dozens of heroes, huh? It looks like you have the knack for recognizing people in the business~
Right, this wasnt the ti to worry about petty gossip.
If I dont eliminate this man here, starting with him attempting to kill the child, the murderers waiting for the signal would begin slaughtering adventurers in the dungeon indiscriminately.
