I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 201

All things in the universe (2)

Henry Lehmann’s life is…

It was flat.

He was born in a small town in Germany. He spent his childhood in Germany. When he was about to enter school, he moved to the United States with his father who had moved to another job. That is about all that is unique about Henry Lehman’s life.

After that, well, I noticed that he was a head taller than his peers, so I tried playing American football and got pretty good results, but I didn’t feel like it, so I didn’t play for long. I studied well, but I dropped out of college for similar reasons. I tried working part-time and got a job at a mechanic shop, but I quit them all quickly.

His parents left him alone, saying that he should take care of himself, even though he was wandering around. Henry Lehman liked this policy. He had a good relationship with his parents, so he called them once every three or four months to check up on them. He would go home and show his face during the holidays. His parents thought that Henry Lehman, who was dressed neatly in a suit, had stopped wandering around and was living a proper life, so they didn’t ask him for more details.

Maybe because my life was so ordinary, I was trying to find something more stimulating… .

‘This sounds like something psychopaths in the movies would say.’

Henry Lehmann shook off his dripping hair.

Some might say that the killer in the movie is similar to a man named Henry Lehmann, but at least Lehmann didn’t think of himself that way.

The psychopathic killers in the movies usually commit crimes for their own pleasure. But for Henry Lehman, or something, there was a reason he had to do it, not just for pleasure.

Besides, aren’t the criminal acts that appear in movies usually bizarre acts that cannot be understood by anyone in their right mind? In that sense, Henry Lehman was maintaining his humaneness.

…at least that’s what someone called Henry Lehmann thought.

“Ouch, it’s cold!”

The person who was hit by the water droplets splashed from Lehmann’s hair was startled and jumped. Henry Lehmann raised his head from shaking his head and smiled.

“Hello, Alex.”

This guy received a revelation. It would be a problem if he was treated like a psychopath.

A red-haired boy fell from the air. The boy, whose face was so beautiful that he could be mistaken for a girl at first glance, stumbled for a moment, then quickly regained his balance and smiled at Rehman.

“Hello, cute toes.”

Lehmann stopped at the unfamiliar title.

“toes?”

“There is something like that.”

The boy, Alex Hope, roughly wiped the water droplets from the back of his hand onto his clothes.

Hope, who had been sniffing the air with her dry hand to her nose, soon raised her head with a look of approval.

“Hey, cutie, didn’t you turn on the music before?”

Hope looked around Lehmann’s room with a frown on her face. The old armchair, the cup on a stack of books, the papers covering one wall.

“You’re still living a crazy life.”

Hope’s gaze, which was scanning the room, stopped at one place. At the end of her gaze was the shattered audio.

“Noah has been there?”

“Noah was so noisy that he broke it and left.”

Hope and Lehmann spoke at the same time.

They both paused for a moment, staring at the shattered audio before throwing their heads back and bursting into laughter.

“As expected of Noah. He seems to have become more nervous since Semi died.”

“Alex, isn’t that because Alex got on your nerves?”

“That too.”

Hope laughed playfully.

“But it was Noah who was greedy and brought Semi with him, wasn’t it? Was Semi the one who caused the trouble…?”

“I don’t know that either.”

“is it?”

“okay.”

“… … .”

Hope became quiet for a moment, as if lost in thought, and then began to laugh out loud.

“What does it matter to me whether Noah is upset or not? If he doesn’t like it, it’s fine with me.”

“Alex really hates Noah.”

“I don’t like people who tell me what to do.”

“Considering that, it seems like you get along well with other people in the guild?”

When Lehmann pointed out the obvious, Hope frowned as if she was offended.

“Do you think I’m that stupid? I know when to be patient. As a human, if you want to get along well with other humans, you have to know how to imitate things like that.”

“Is that what Alex’s human taught you? He taught you some pretty good things.”

And if Noah Michel heard that, he would be furious.

“Then why Noah? I heard you told me to get along well with Noah too.”

“He pretends to listen to me in front of me, but behind my back he’s busy trying to kill me. Why should I be on good terms with him?”

Hope shook her head and laughed.

“Remember, Henry. In front of the fairies.”

“Lies don’t work?”

“If you want to lie, your insides and outsides should match. If they don’t, there’s a good chance that someone will notice.”

“hmm.”

“anyway!”

Hope raised her voice to call attention to herself.

“What did he say?”

“Noah? It’s nothing. Hong Seok-young said that if there’s Alex next to him, he must be killed, and then I must live or die.”

Hope’s mouth opened wide.

“Ahhh, nothing much. Henry, you’re strange for a human.”

The only one who still calls himself human is Hope, who is not a complete human being.

The irony was so funny that Lehmann would chuckle whenever he saw Hope.

This time, as Lehmann just smiled quietly, Hope quickly stopped crying and pursed her lips.

“As expected, Noah is Noah. I told you not to fight among yourself, but you didn’t even pretend to listen.”

“Are you trying to tell me?”

“Hey. I don’t want to go in there. It’s not easy to get in.”

“It would be easy for Alex to sneak in.”

“Now is the time to take care of yourself a little.”

It was the first time he had seen Hope say something like that. Lehmann was quite surprised, but he didn’t show it. Given Hope’s personality, if you gently provoke her, she’ll easily start talking. If it was something really important that had to be kept secret, she wouldn’t have even mentioned it. Lehmann had known Hope long enough to know that much.

Hope changed the subject quickly enough that it felt a little urgent, but it was clear that it was a subject she didn’t want to talk about.

Lehmann followed Hope’s rhythm as if he didn’t notice anything.

Well, shouldn’t the fairy always be in a good mood anyway? The information that falls is like a side income.

“So you said you would do that?”

“what.”

Lehmann shrugged.

“I said I’d try. Honestly, how can I do anything when Hong Seok-young is right next to me? Even if I try to stop Hong Seok-young… Alex won’t just die for me.”

“of course.”

“But seeing you ask this… Are you really going to come with Hong Seok-young? Are you attached to that person?”

“Rather than saying we’re stuck… I’m saying that Noah keeps bothering me, so I’m going to give him a little scolding.”

“Why does Henry come to scold Noah?”

“I know.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Lehman looked at Hope with unblinking eyes. Unlike Noah Michel, who had avoided eye contact at first, Hope did not look away.

Instead, he closed his eyes and smiled faintly.

“Henry, I think you’re cute, but… I don’t intend to just look at you.”

“aha.”

“Our mountain, my human, they say there are strange rumors going around here?”

“rumor?”

“It’s like the impression of the boss of an organization that dominates the South American black market.”

“Ah. That.”

“Yeah. That one.”

Hope and Lehmann looked into each other’s eyes and smiled brightly.

The first one to stop laughing was Lehmann. Lehmann stood still with all his expressions erased, as if his bright smile had been a lie.

“You little cutie. I was trying to screw Noah, so I ignored whatever you did… but that’s because you left me alone.”

“… … ”

“You shouldn’t have involved me. Or you shouldn’t have let it show. What did you want to do by involving me?”

Hope raised her voice as if to demand an answer. However, she seemed not to have any intention of listening to Lehman, and when Lehman tried to open his mouth, she reached out and covered his mouth.

Compared to his body, his hands are infinitely small and delicate. If he were to twist his wrist, wouldn’t it break? If the person in front of him were a normal human, that would be the case.

Lehman met his golden eyes. The hair on his body stood on end. If he moved, he would die. He might die. No, he had no intention of giving in easily. It was natural for a weakling to die, but he could not give up without fighting back. This side also had a desperate move…

“Henry.”

Hope’s voice interrupted my thoughts. It was still affectionate, charming, and toneless.

“If you want to live, you have to come at me with all your heart. I plan to provoke Hong Seok-young and have him kill you.”

“……that.”

His voice shook uncomfortably. Lehmann forced himself to clear his throat.

“Well, that’s a violation of orders.”

“Hey. When am I going to kill you? I said Hong Seok-young will do it.”

When I saw Hope’s brightly smiling face, my head turned to the other side. The three letters of Hong Seok-young’s name coming out of Hope’s mouth sounded strangely familiar.

‘Even if she was a crazy fairy, there’s no way she would reveal her identity… .’

Was the person who got a job at Hong Seok-young’s guild a capable person? To the extent that he would listen to the words of a guild member he knew?

“So you understand what I’m saying, Henry? If you’re going to kill me… try as hard as you can before Hong Seok-young kills you.”

* * *

“really.”

Hope lay in bed, flailing her arms and legs.

“I have nothing to say since I am also contributing my share….”

The three humans who could be called the key figures of the ark are all trying to kill each other.

Are you okay? Are you really okay?

“How can things go back to normal like this…?”

Well, to be honest, I’ve done a lot of things behind Noah’s back without him knowing. If you think about it, the fact that the research center was moved to Northeast Asia was also because of my actions, and there’s more.

Raised in a magical society since childhood, Michelle is used to things going her way. Hope and Lehman exploit this gap.

From the moment Hope decided to live as a human, he could not coexist with Michelle’s will. Lehmann, although he accepted Michelle’s cause, did not like the way she achieved it.

“If Hong Seok-young delivers the final blow here….”

I wonder if we can see Noah falling backwards.

Hope chuckled and then sat up abruptly.

A small group of lights made way for Hope as she hurriedly left the room. The colorful lights slowly followed behind Hope as she passed.

Hope looked back at the door and stroked the light with her fingers.

“Poor thing.”

In the days when everything was perfect, the teachings that were passed down to Hope were about power. Those with power ruled the world.

“But what can a defeated army do?”

Hope left the room, humming a tune.

The human guarding the door looks at Hope. Hope smiles brightly and waves.

“good morning!”

I hope this poor species can survive.
