Rena thought about Tina's words earlier.
Her gaze was a little blank.
Her brows furrowed slightly, clearly trying to understand all the possibilities that kept appearing in her mind.
With a bright smile and her cheeks lifted, Rena muttered.
If somehow… it could happen…
That would be really amazing…
Before Rena could finish her thought,
suddenly,
Tina's two index fingers tapped her forehead.
tok!!
Right in the middle.
Rena froze reflexively.
Her eyes blinked several times, her brows furrowing as she looked at Hero Tina.
…what does this mean… Hero Tina?
Tina still stood close in front of her, her face sharp.
But there was a hint of anxiety mixed with exhaustion in her expression. Then, with a few words, Hero Tina said.
Close your eyes, Rena…
Hearing that, Rena didn't listen at all. Instead, she wanted to move away from Tina's fingers on her forehead.
But… before Rena could move,
suddenly!!!
A flow of energy emerged from Tina's two index fingers, forcibly closing Rena's eyes!!!
Rena couldn't even react or say anything.
Now Rena stood completely silent with her eyes closed.
Like a waterfall forced to be sealed by a large boulder at its edge.
Suddenly, Rena found herself in the same room as before…
A room similar to Tina's memory…
Seeing all that, Rena wanted to scream loudly!!!
But before that, Rena noticed something.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Eh??
Why can I see myself??
Where is this?!!!
Before Rena could react further, a memory screen appeared in front of her…
A memory that didn't play like Tina's memory had.
Seeing that, Rena slowly approached it… saying with both hands reaching toward the memory screen.
This memory…
This…
It's similar!!
Finally, her hand touched the memory…
Over and over—too many times—the same memory played in Rena's mind.
That's right… the death of Hero Anna…
A head rolling through the air, right after they had decided to look away.
No body… just a head.
A head they knew.
Long hair all falling to one side.
Anna's head.
A head rolling through the air…
Anna's head.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Suddenly, Rena's eyes shot open!!!
Her standing body trembled violently, her lips quivered, her face shadowed, and she muttered softly.
Yeah… I understand…
Beside Hero Claire and Rena,
Hero Tina, partially covering her mouth with her left hand, then stroked Rena's head—still trembling.
It seems this was the only way to make you realize, Rena…
Meanwhile, Hero Claire just squinted at Rena briefly, witnessing what had happened, then let out a small sigh.
Then she said.
Hmm… seems like it's useful sometimes…
Then Hero Claire shifted her gaze to Hero Tina and said with sharp eyes.
So… what actually happened, Hero Tina?…
Just as Hero Tina was about to speak, Rena interrupted—now calm again. She said with her cheeks lifted.
Sorry, Hero Tina… I think I overreacted.
Please also explain why you emphasized that memory to me.
Seeing that, Hero Tina was startled, and now her lips trembled. Then she thought to herself.
This kid…
Her determination…
Is truly just like Anna…
Then Hero Tina tried to calm herself, and now, without using any spells, magic, or mana…
Hero Tina explained.
She spoke directly and clearly to the two confused humans, her right hand partially covering her mouth, and said.
As we all saw together…
The hummingbird half-monster male is a very clear example of what we witnessed.
Hearing that, Hero Claire and Rena were startled—but before either of them could respond to Tina's words in their own minds,
Hero Tina spoke again, her left hand also covering her mouth, and said.
This is the same…
Because they still have human consciousness…
Hearing that, the three humans fell silent once more.
As if there was no action.
No words.
Just silence…
As if everything had already ended.
Because the three humans realized that the half-monster males were heroes from various kingdoms.
