The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero's Mother!

Chapter 217

Mel's POV

My name is Mel.

People call me "the world's strongest sage" or "the guardian feared even by the demon king," but I'm just a lonely "incredibly cute widow."

I'm so cute and amazing that normal humans aren't enough for me.

After all, my beloved husband was the "Hero (Yuusha) and King Zect," and the other person I loved was the "divine dragon Ceres."

I can't love anyone else... no one else can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me.

There is no one.

"Zect, don't die... don't leave me alone..." Lida pleaded.

Lida... you're not alone yet, everyone is still here.

"No, I don't want to say goodbye..." Maria cried out.

Maria... you know there's an afterlife, right?

We'll be able to meet again soon...

Marin-san, Luna-chan and I just watched the two of them, looking so sad.

We've aged... but maybe Ceres did something... even though everyone here is over 100 years old, they look like they're in their 50s.

"Everyone, it was really fun... thank you..." Zect said with a smile and so he died...

This is all just a farce... everyone knows that... there's no need to cry.

After all, we're just going to the world of the underworld dragon Bauer-sama...

Anyway, we're looking forward to getting younger and meeting Ceres, aren't we?

I mean, that Zect guy 'just laughed'...

Now, Luna and Marin spread their dragon wings.

Thanks to Ceres' blessing, they can go to the underworld, so they're going there now.

So, it's not goodbye.

Well, Luna and Marin aren't dragon lords, so they won't be able to come back once they go.

But it's better to live with someone you love than to live with someone of the same gender.

Of course... I'm sure over there, instead of a romantic gray-haired old man, Zect will be young and cool, and they'll all be giggling.

Anyway, Lida, Maria, and I will say goodbye for now... But we'll see each other again.

No problem. But...

"Well then... Mel, I'm counting on you," Lida said.

"Mel, please...," Maria pleaded.

Seriously, I can't believe it... They say something like that.

"What are you guys talking about? I don't understand."

"I'm a weak human... I can't live in a world without Zect... So I've decided to follow King Zect's death."

"Please forgive me for going ahead of you, Mel... I will follow the king's death too."

I've been deceived... These guys are the worst...

It was the same before... During the Hero Yuusha's party, they shoved all the documents onto me...

I'm just leaving the governance of Kohane to the deputy, but anything the deputy can't do or doesn't understand is all on me... And they're going to shove it onto me again...

"Lida, Maria... you deceived me, didn't you? By committing suicide in devotion to the late husband, King... and now you'll start a happy life over there, won't you? That's just awful... to push everything onto me, even after you're dead... stop it," I said with a mix of anger and sadness.

"Hahaha, I got caught," Lida giggled.

"I'm sorry... Mel," Maria apologized.

Knock knock knock.

"Mother, have you finished saying goodbye to Father... may I come in now?" the first child asked.

"Mother... I also want to say goodbye soon," another child chimed in.

"Mother, I understand that it's sad... please open the door," the third child added.

That's not nice.

All the kids are knocking on the door.

I feel like I've been deceived, and it makes me angry... But I won't leave it like this.

"I'll go first because it's lonely to be left alone... Lida, Maria, see you later!" I declared, determined to leave.

"Wait, Mel... it will cause trouble for the children... I'll leave the rest to you..." Lida pleaded.

"I don't want the kids to be in trouble... no... don't do this," Maria begged.

I don't care...

"I... I don't care..." I said stubbornly.

I pointed the short sword I had to my neck and pulled.

"Bye-bye."

"Mel, you're so sly..." Lida whispered.

"Mel... don't die before us..." Maria added, annoyed.

Don't try to push everything onto us... it's better to leave the kids to you.

Hahaha, we'll meet again soon anyway... if you complain to me, I'll take it out on you.
