[Hated Hero Remembers]

One of Raul’s harem members in the【The Rise of the Weakest Holy Swordsman】Mia, the apprentice priestess, would be performing Eureka’s Divine Gift Ceremony.

…How complex.

No, the harem thing was only going on in the original storyline.

It was the result of Raul’s relationship with Eureka not improving and going down the worst path.

On my way back to the dormitory, I was recalling the characters that appeared in the original storyline.

Raul’s harem consisted of seven members.

They came with various archetypes, which were:

【Classmate】

【Older Sister】

【Teacher】

【Junior】

【Little sister】

【Sexy Lady】

【Clumsy Girl】

Among them,【Classmate】was Tayte,【Teacher】was Ms. Teixeira,【Older Sister】was Reina. Of the remaining four, priestess Mia filled in the【Sexy Lady】archetype.

Still, I never thought I’d meet another member of Raul’s harem while I was a student. If my memory served me right, Raul met most of them after graduation in the original storyline.

…But in that case, who suggested Eureka undergo the Divine Gift Ceremony? I knew Eureka’s hidden potential because I had read the original storyline. But in the original storyline, there had to be someone who noticed her potential without such knowledge.

But unfortunately, that person was not mentioned in the original storyline.

To begin with, Eureka had only played a minor role until the latest chapter of the web novel. Even the fact that she had been living in the slums with the protagonist Raul was something I’d learned after reincarnating into this world. That was how little information there was about her as a character.

Just who was the one who made Eureka undergo the Divine Gift Ceremony in the original storyline? And for what purpose?

“Ah! Barrett!”

I was startled hearing that voice, then I raised my head.

When I did, in front of me I found an angel—or more precisely, a being extremely close to an angel, Tayte.

“Are you heading back?”

“Yeah. Oh, about Eureka.”

“Is there any progress?”

“Mhm. Eureka will be able to receive her Divine Gift Ceremony soon.”

“Really?! That’s great!” Overjoyed, Tayte made a little jump.

Her cute gesture made my cheeks relax without me knowing.

“Normally, it would be difficult, but as it turns out there is a new priestess going to perform the Divine Gift Ceremony as part of her practical training, so we were planning to have Eureka take part.”

“…………”

Mm?

Tayte suddenly fell silent and looked down.

W-what was going on?

Did I say something wrong?

Ah!

Could she be bothered by the mention of the priestess?!

“T-Tayte?” I timidly tried to peek at Tayte’s face.

Tayte, she… was crying.

“?! I-I’m sorry!”

I didn’t know why she cried, but I apologized, anyway.

Then…

“You’ve got me wrong… I’m happy,” Tayte said in a small voice, “You worked so hard not only for me, but also for Eureka… it made me really, really happy.”

“Tayte…”

Before I knew it, I had taken her into my arms.

“?! B-Barrett?!”

“Sorry… but please let me stay like this for a little while.”

“Auu~…” Despite getting embarrassed, Tayte accepted my selfish request and hugged me back.

Earlier, when I had been remembering Raul’s harem members, I also had been reminded of how Tayte was treated in the original storyline.

After parting from Barrett, her crush, in the worst possible way, she started a new relationship with Raul, only for them to slowly become distant.

Tayte was a girl who got lonely easily.

In the original storyline, she even ended up leaving Jarvis and Eureka, who had been her good friends, and as the story progressed, it felt like she became isolated.

Now that she had obtained the happiness she, by all rights, deserved, she looked really happy. Seeing her happy made me happy too.

Oh, right.

Raul, too, would be devoted to Eureka once his relationship with her improved. After all, his harem in the original storyline was nothing but a result of his relationship with Eureka not working out.

“Tayte… You don’t have to worry about Eureka. I’m sure everything will work out for her.”

“Yes…” Both of us spontaneously tightened our hugs on each other

—In the end, we continued to hug each other until Mr. Walter found us and gave us a warning, “I’m glad to see you two getting along so well, but please refrain from showing off your intimacy in public.”
