The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

“F-Father…?”

“Haha, my dear Aria. It seems you’ve grown so much!”

Upon hearing the news that her father had woken up, Aria immediately rushed into the family head’s room.

There, she saw her father sitting on the bed with a bright smile on his face.

“Father…”

“Yes, it’s me. Come here and give me a hug.”

“…”

“Aria?”

Abraham, who was about to embrace Aria, looked puzzled when she didn’t move.

“Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

“It’s just… Sniff, sob…”

“By the way, where is Frey?”

“…!”

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly at the mention of Frey’s name.

“Isn’t it because our Frey defeated the Demon King that I woke up? Can you take me to him?”

“…”

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you taking me to him… Huh?”

Not understanding the situation, Abraham struggled to get up and noticed something strange.

“Why are there so few servants here?”

“That’s because…”

“Are they on vacation? If that’s the case, don’t bother calling them back. I’d love to see their faces after so long, but I can’t interrupt their break.”

Scratching his head with an innocent expression, Abraham spoke.

“Oh right, that’s not important. Hahaha…”

A proud smile spread across his face.

“My son, our son, has saved the world. This isn’t the time for this. I need to go see him immediately…”

“F-Father…”

“…Wait.”

“Uh…”

Aria, who was reaching out with a sorrowful expression, saw Abraham’s face suddenly freeze.

“Who did this?”

Abraham’s gaze turned icy as he looked at the wall of the family head’s room, where the names of the Starlight family’s past heads were inscribed.

“Who dared to do such a vile thing?”

The spot where Frey’s name had been was now blackened and burnt, with desperate scribbles around it as if someone had tried to rewrite something.

“Who did this?”

Abraham asked, his face grim.

“…”

“I’m sorry, but this cannot be overlooked. To try to erase the name of the Hero who saved the world… Even if it was a joke, it’s gone too far…”

With no answer, Abraham’s discomfort grew.

“…What’s that?”

Finally, he turned to look out the window.

- Frey is the Hero, you say! How can this be!!

- Where is he now? We must secure him…

- Explain more clearly!!

In the sky outside, a giant projection displayed the conference of ruler.

“What is…”

Abraham’s face slowly turned from puzzled to cold as he watched the projection in the sky.

Scenes of Frey’s horrific, sorrowful, and brutal moments, recorded by Glare, Roswyn, and the helper system, began to play out.

Among these were scenes of Aria attacking Frey, the servants leaving the mansion, and false testimonies given by the traitorous servants.

- Thud…!!!

“Where is he?”

Having watched enough, Abraham finally spoke, his gaze fixed on the scene of Frey stabbing his own heart.

“Dad, well, um…”

“Where is my son right now?”

No one dared to answer.

“To summarize, Frey is actually the Hero?”

“And Ruby, who was called the Hero, is actually the Demon King?”

“And both of them had unavoidable circumstances on why they did all this farce?”

After a lengthy explanation from Vener and the Hero Party, a few rulers cautiously asked questions.

“…Yes.”

Vener nodded with a pained expression, and the atmosphere grew tense.

“That rascal was the Hero?”

“False Evil? Pretender? How absurd…”

“This complicates things.”

“No, nothing has changed.”

In the midst of murmurs, Limia spoke up.

“We need to contact Frey immediately.”

“…What?”

“Anyway… Frey is the Hero, right? So, to deal with the newly become Demon King, Aishi, we need him.”

Vener looked at Limia with a bewildered expression.

“He should be at the academy… Oh.”

Finally remembering the resignation letter she had personally received, Limia began to sweat nervously.

“Frey hasn’t appeared in public since he submitted his resignation to you.” 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

“Well, that was… unavoidable, wasn’t it? But do you know where he is? The fate of the empire, no, the world is at stake here.”

Limia’s voice grew more desperate as Vener’s calm response weighed on her.

“…I know someone who knows his whereabouts.”

“What?”

“I can connect you to them right now.”

“That’s great! Please do it immediately!”

Clapping her hands, Limia fixed her gaze on the glowing magic crystal.

“F-Frey? Now that I think about it, I might have been too hasty that time! I also overlooked some procedures… Anyway…”

As soon as the connection was made, Limia tried to compose herself and began to speak.

- Limia.

“…Huh!?”

Her face froze, and she stood up when she saw who appeared before her.

“C-Clana? Why are you there?”

Clana, with dark circles under her eyes, was floating in the air as a projection, looking down at Limia.

- Move aside.

“Uh, okay…”

Limia, staring at Clana in a panic, quickly stepped aside at her cold tone.

“C-Clana? What’s going on here?”

“You said you were contacting Frey.”

“Explain yourself…”

- Silence.

She silenced the rulers who were questioning her with a chilling voice.

- You want Frey.

“…”

- But the Frey you seek no longer exists.

Clana turned around and sat on the bed, causing the rulers at the round table to frown.

“Meow?”

Next to her was not Frey, but a silver cat.

- Frey left for Aishi alone after he dropped out of the academy.

Clana began speaking in a trembling voice, glaring at the rulers.

- He tried to destabilize Aishi’s awakening in his last moments.

As she continued her explanation, the rulers listened with bewildered expressions.

- He burned everything he had.

“Is that why Aishi showed instability earlier?”

“Is that why she’s freezing people instead of killing them?”

The rulers nodded as they recalled Aishi’s earlier instability.

- And then he disappeared, leaving only this silver cat.

“Where did he go…?”

- I don’t know, and no one else does either. He is missing.

“Oh…”

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the rulers either looked scared or closed their eyes tightly.

- We searched desperately, but he was nowhere to be found.

“Does that mean…”

“From a hopeful perspective, he might be hiding in the Eastern Continent, as he mentioned in the interview. From a despairing perspective, his soul might have shattered and vanished.”

The Hero Party flinched at the mention of Frey’s soul possibly being shattered, and the rulers looked serious.

- Looking at your calculating expressions, I don’t feel like talking anymore. I’m ending the call.

“C-Clana…”

- Bzzzt…

With a disdainful expression, Clana ended the call.

A deep silence settled in the conference room.

“L-Let’s announce him as missing…?”

Breaking the silence, a ruler from a border kingdom of the Western Continent began to speak in a timid voice.

“He dropped out of the academy and faced the Demon King, only to go missing?”

“At any rate, officially he’s missing… They said no body was found, right?”

“But still…”

“W-What are you all talking about?”

Limia, who had been quietly listening, spoke up with a pale face.

“Isn’t it obvious we should cover this up…?”

“What did you say?”

“Did I say something wrong?”

“That is absurd!!”

The Elf Queen, eyes wide, shouted in disbelief.

“We’re in a situation where we should be revealing the whole truth, not covering it up! This is ridiculous…”

“Are you suggesting we announce that Frey was the Hero? That would cause massive chaos. But if we all keep silent, we can bury this.”

“That’s nonsense!!”

“It’s not nonsense.”

As the Elf Queen slammed her hand on the table and stood up, the Murim Alliance Leader, who had been standing with his arms crossed, spoke up.

“She’s right, there’s no need to add to the chaos.”

“What did you say…?”

“As unfortunate as it is, not everyone in the world needs to know.”

“Let’s take this to our graves.”

“…Hah.”

Watching the rulers start to agree, the Elf Queen let out a bitter laugh.

“…Do you humans have no honor, no righteousness?”

“You all disgust me. You make me sick.”

“We oppose this too!”

The leader of the beastkin from the Western Continent, a fox beastkin warrior from the Eastern Continent’s mountains, and several other rulers from the Western Continent began to condemn those who agreed with the cover-up.

“Are you ignoring us?”

“We’re not ignoring you, we’re just stating the facts here.”

“…This won’t end well for you.”

“That’s what I was about to say.”

The conference room quickly turned hostile due to the divided opinions.

“The truth must be buried here today. Besides, the Demon King is said to be unstable now–”

“If that’s what being unstable looks like, I don’t want to see her when she’s stable! And we can’t keep such secrets forever…”

“Urgent news!!”

But the tense atmosphere was short-lived.

“What’s going on?”

“Look outside the window!”

At the urgent shout from the soldier who had rushed into the conference room, a ruler sitting by the window pulled back the curtains with a puzzled expression.

“…Gasp.”

The rulers, including the one who had opened the curtain, were stunned, their faces turning pale.

“Is that…?”

- Is that…

Displayed in the sky was a giant system window, broadcasting the conference live.

“It’s appearing worldwide. And not just that, it’s also showing all of Frey’s various incidents…”

“Oh, no.”

- Oh, no.

The rulers, including Limia, began to turn as pale as ghosts.

“Operation successful…!”

Watching them with a triumphant expression, Glare made a call and whispered into it.

“Stop that thing!”

“First, we need to handle the media…”

“

The true identity of the Hero had finally been revealed to the world, heralding the dawn of great chaos.

.

.

.

.

.

“Good job, Glare.”

- Love you! Hero!

“…It’s Clana.”

Meanwhile, in a secluded cabin by the harbor.

- Click…!

“That should fool the Demon King’s Army, right?”

Clana, having ended her call with Glare, sighed and headed back to the bed.

- Snap…!

- Puff!!

As she reached the bed and snapped her fingers, the invisibility spell on the bed unraveled with a puff.

“Frey, the call is over…”

- Swoshh…!

“…”

Just as she reached out to the bulging blanket, Kania suddenly dashed out from under it, running into the living room.

“You thieving cat!”

Clana stared in shock for a moment before her eyes blazed with fury, she was about to chase after Kania, but Frey’s voice caught her attention.

“Um…”

Watching them, Frey murmured in a slightly forlorn voice.

“Could you untie me now…?”

He was bound tightly to the bed.

“…If I untie you, you’ll just disappear again and then mope around like a pitiful cat.”

“I-I won’t.”

Frey, struggling against his bonds, felt a pang of guilt at Clana’s words and mumbled defensively.

“It’s written all over your face.”

“But–”

“Kania!! Where did you go?!”

Watching Clana chase after Kania, Frey lay back on the pillow with a small smile.

“…Oh, right.”

Then, he murmured with a grin.

“Today is the day Ruby comes.”

Thinking happily about spending the day with Ruby, Frey smiled even wider.

“Ugh?”

Suddenly, a chill ran through his entire body.

“…What is this?”

Frey was suddenly overcome with an inexplicable sense of crisis, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

.

.

.

.

.

- Flutter, flutter…

Meanwhile, at that moment,

“Finally I found my true body.”

Ruby, who had been away from the cabin to find her original body, was flying at full speed with a noticeably more mature appearance.
