Chapter 4 The White Mage, Realized
#KyoudoushaThe White Mage, Realized
Vee was gone.
From the perspective of the clan Fairtrack, it was just the loss of an adventurer with the lowest combat ability.
In terms of combat ability, he was inferior to even the newest members, but his ability to complete missions was excellent.
In fact, there was even an advantage in that the profit share increased because the highly-paid executive was gone.
After staring blankly at Vee’s figure as he ran away at an incredible speed, I slowly stood up.
If I had used my acceleration skill and seriously chased after him, I might have caught up with him.
However, the last words he said left my mind completely blank.
“Go make out with Sieg, you idiot!”
I had been found out.
When was it, when did I get caught? Could it be that I was being watched? I thought I had covered it up with my skills?
Such words circled in my mind.
Even if I thought of such words, nothing would change.
No, I don’t want to separate. I love him.
Such words also came to my mind, but they felt terribly thin.
I knew, I should have known.
A few years ago, at a time when I couldn’t meet up with Vee, who seemed to be busy with various things, I got into that kind of relationship with Sieg, my junior, who was becoming more and more attractive.
I intended it to be a casual affair.
But I quickly became addicted to the thrill of doing something wrong.
The more I knew I should end it, the more I was drawn in.
I am naturally attracted to strong men, and I have been feeling a bit bored with Vee lately.
Vee’s skills had stagnated lately, and everyone was secretly making fun of him behind his back, and I was unhappy too.
It’s not my fault.
It’s Vee’s fault for neglecting me, and it’s Sieg’s fault for approaching me.
It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault…
I tried hard to defend myself, but the guilt did not go away.
…I have to tell Sieg that Vee is gone…
I walked back to the clan house and went to Vee’s room, which I hadn’t visited in a long time.
The bookshelves were empty, and the safe was open.
Only the pen, which I had given him as a birthday present, which he was supposed to cherish, was left on the desk. Looking at the wall, there was a picture of us when we founded the clan.
How did he feel when he saw that picture?
What a cruel thing I had done.
No, it wasn’t my fault.
I wanted to go back to Vee after playing around a bit.
I was told that Sieg would marry the lord’s daughter after he defeated the goblin king this time.
In other words, my relationship with him was supposed to end cleanly.
Why couldn’t he wait a little longer…?
Even I find myself feeling unreasonable.
Thinking that there might be a letter for me, I opened the desk drawer and found a letter.
I hurriedly opened the seal and read it, and all it said was that he was withdrawing from the clan and would leave the matter of contacting everyone else to Sieg.
On the back of the paper was a short scrawl [Monica, I wish you happiness].
The last gift from my beloved, who had given me so much, was a blessing that felt like a curse.
After being stunned for a while, I told Sieg that Vee had left and that our affair had been discovered.
The only word that came back was:
“So Sensei is gone, huh? Thanks for the report.”
“Is that all?”
I blurted out the words involuntarily.
Isn’t it a bit cold-hearted to be so indifferent now that the founding member of our clan is gone?
“Well, Sensei doesn’t have a job anymore, and the salary was wasted, so maybe it’s just as well? I’ll be a nobleman soon, too! Oh, don’t worry, Monica, I’ll take care of you!”
With a gentle face that wouldn’t hurt a fly, he makes remarks that make me question his humanity.
“Don’t joke with me! It was just a fling with you! My lover is Vee!”
“What are you talking about? We had so much fun last night, didn’t we? What about tonight?”
He laughed and tried to put his hand on my waist, so I slapped it away.
“Don’t mess with me! It’s over between you and me! I’m going to find Vee!”
While I was talking, I felt like my head was going crazy!
“I think it’s pointless to remain faithful after your affair is discovered… poor Sensei.”
A mocking voice could be heard.
I pretended not to hear it and left the room.
I knew that more than anyone else.
Later, I told several clan members that Vee was gone, but everyone’s reaction was lukewarm.
Everyone should have been very grateful to him.
He was the one who taught us how to live!
I couldn’t help but shout in irritation.
“Ingrates!”
