The Birth of a True Hero
episode 23 Not knowing

When I was about to go home I stopped by the refugee house where Ririna helped care for the injured.

On the way I saw many houses burning and children crying to see their parents dead.

Seeing that, I was a little concerned for them, even though their parents were condescending to me, but it had nothing to do with them.

Nor do I hold any grudges against those innocent children. I also want the children to live without their parents.

Then I got to Ririna's place and went straight in there.

" Ririna, let's go back "

" Rui, I can't leave them in this state, can you not lend your strength to help them ?" Pinta Ririna with a hopeful face.

I could have helped heal their current state, but given what they did to me first, I chose not to waste my mana on them.

" I'm sorry Ririna, I've run out of mana while fighting bandits "my answer was lying to Ririna.

Instantly the citizens there looked at me with astonished gazes . There were even whispers among them, doubting that I had stopped the bandits.

" Eh, isn't he the son of a noble who is said to fail as a Witch "

Whisper one of the women to his friend.

" Yes it was him, then why is he here, is not this Miss asking for help to the wrong person "reply to her friend.

" But some say that it was he who stopped the Bandits - The bandit "said a wounded man.

" Ehh, is it true that he did it, isn't it very strange, what don't - don't he who told the Bandits to attack the Village and pretend to act as a Hero " they said while looking at me with a suspicious look.

I heard it all but didn't really care what they said. I am not surprised at how they see me. I was just trying to help my grandfather not for these fools.

" Enough, what are you saying, you survived today because Rui risked her life to protect you "

Ririna was furious at the person who was talking about me.

" Rather than being grateful but you slander and say the absurd, you are truly a shameless and disgusting person ".

Hearing that they instantly kept quiet and my Grandfather arrived at that place.

" What is this, why do you fuss in the place of people who are being treated" said Grandpa did not know what happened.

" It's okay Grandpa, we better just go to talk about the matter, anyway I want to see Mom "my answer while smiling and pulling Grandpa's hand.

" Yes already then, we go "

" For the Village Chief, please report if there is anything in need and for the medical team I will immediately ask for additional assistance from the city to treat the injured residents.

" Thank you Count sir "The Village Chief said seeing us leave the place.

But after getting out of the refugee camp, I was shocked to see Ririna coming with us to come home.

"Eh, instead of you staying to help them Ririna" I said confusedly.

" No need, why am I spending my time here for people who don't know themselves "Ririna said still upset.

" Fool, why did you change your mind so quickly, instead of telling us that the Professor helped the needy without seeing the feeling" I said.

" Bodo very, I help who I want to help, anyway I come home with you point " said Ririna with annoyance.

" Ahaha, alright come on" I said as I walked home with them.

Actually I want to use Teleport to get there quickly but I can't, because I've used too much mana when I'm silent to heal the children who are injured there.

Maybe I can take Ririna but with grandpa it seems a bit difficult, so we decided to walk.

I also know how limited my body is to endure using my mana continuously.

Although it is quite increased but I am still far from satisfied if I cannot use my full mana as I wish.

We talked for a long time with Grandpa, how I knew Ririna and how we lived in the Academy.

Then Grandpa discussed why I wanted to recruit the bandits into security guards and border guards.

After hearing my explanation grandfather finally understood and granted my wish.

Grandfather was also not too surprised when I told him who was the mastermind behind this incident because this was exactly what my grandfather had expected.

Well although grandfather promised to report this incident to the Imperial Palace and put Viscount Armin on trial.

But if I don't do something, the Bandit leader's family will definitely be in danger, after all, I've also decided to teach the Viscount a lesson before he's in court.

Then continue to discuss about children who lost parents in the incident, I suggest that grandfather establish Orphanage.

Because Orphanage did not exist in the grandfather area and orphanages only existed in the imperial church.

But I heard a bad rumor about the fate of the children who were there. Some are at the doctrine of being faithful servants and given missions - crazy missions. Some say the children there were sold and made into slaves.

So I prefer that children can live as they should in a grandfather-made orphanage. Then without a second thought, Grandfather agreed to my wish.

My grandmother and mother were waiting for us with worried faces. But it all calmed down to see us go home unharmed.

" Ah, Julia is your father and son, they're back"

Mom ran and hugged me and asked how I was doing.

" Rui, why are you so rash to go to that bandit's place"

" How you are, if anyone is sick, are you okay" asked my mom worried.

" I'm fine, ma'am, there's no need to be that hot and I haven't had time to say anything yesterday "

" I'm sorry and I'm home mom "

Hearing that, my mother cried and hugged me again.

" No, wrong mother, it's not your fault at all, welcome rui, I just need you and Karin, I don't need anything and anyone in the world" she said in tears.

" How about me" said Grandfather pouting.

" Dad's at number three after mom" said the mother, wiping her tears.

" Ehh, I lost to this old lady "Say grandpa while looking at grandma.

" Plaak" Grandpa's head was hit by my grandmother.

" You're looking to die old man "Say grandma while looking at grandpa with a wrathful look.

We laughed at the behavior of both of them.

After that I introduced Ririna to mom and we went back inside.

In the living room there was already a sister who was reading a book.

" Ah Rui, welcome back" asked Karin.

" Yes, brother, I'm home "

" Wait Karin, instead of you being too relaxed and not worrying about your sister" my mother said curiously.

" Why should I worry about Rui, I feel even more sorry for the Bandit Rui fought" Karin said casually.

Hearing that the mother was confused but immediately threw away the thought and led us to the Garden behind the mansion.

" Let's just go to the park, I really miss spending time with you two "

We immediately accepted mother's wishes. Ririna sat down when we wanted to leave.

" Ririna what are you doing let's go" I said to Ririna.

" No, you better be alone with Karin, your mother must really want to spend time with you two" Ririna said with a smile.

" I'm stupid, if you don't come with me neither does "I said to Ririna.

" Yes Ririna you too, instead of you wanting to hear Rui's story when she was very young" said my mother with a smile.

" Ehh, mother, not that "my words that make them all smile.

And without feeling like the day has changed the night. I slipped in black clothes and went silent without anyone's knowledge.

I plan to solve my problem with the cause of yesterday's problems that are trying to find because of my family.

After launching my mana towards Viscount Armin's territory, I arrived near his residence.

Killing him instantly without being seen was something that was very easy for me. But I'm not that kind of person to people who dare to disturb the peace of my family and cause my mother to hurt because of her guilt for me.

I saw him being angry - angry at someone in his study.

" How are the bandits reporting, why are there no reports of any of them "

" I've hired expensive Bandits - Bandits in this area and in the Count's realm, even hired Elite-level magical girls from the Magic Manara to destroy the lives of the citizens there, he said, but why are there no reports of any "screaming at his servant.

" Sorry sir, I've sent some people there but they haven't come back" said the waiter terrified.

" If until tomorrow they do not report anything, just Execute the Bandit leader's family because it makes me angry "

After saying that, Viscount Armin went from there towards his bedroom.

When he closed his eyes, I went in and took him to the forest near his domain.

When he felt strange because he felt the cold of the night, he opened his eyes and I fell behind my veil while greeting him.

" Good evening dear Lord Viscount".

......The end's......
