Chapter 231 – Teen Family Heads Meeting
“Mmm, stop! I mean stop!!”
Winte screamed.
Each time, the jade-colored guardian spirit that emits a gentle breeze flinched, but in the end it slowly moved forward.
The other Guardians are already close at hand.
“Kuu…!”
Winte lifted her head suddenly and grabbed her earring.
A rugged green hairpin.
I have no idea who made it.
Whoops.
However, the power contained in the earring was enormous.
The jade-colored wind roared and spewed intense Ryunar, and the power felt was strong enough to cover not only this large space but also a city.
[Ohhhhh…]
The jade-colored guardian deity shook and its eyes shone.
And… She reaches out to the other Guardians, and a swirling orb forms in her palm.
…If that thing explodes, I think the whole space will be blown away.
I saw Winte’s earrings.
Judging from the strong power felt and the reactions of the guardians, it seems that it is probably an artifact.
The guardians in front looked back at the green guardian’s hostile behavior, and soon turned their backs to fight back and walked away.
7 to 1.
It’s an unwinnable fight no matter how you look at it.
Judging from the path of Ryunar spreading from Winte’s artifact, it seems to be trying to control the other Guardians, but it has no effect on the Guardians.
And.
Flash-!
A golden light swirled around and all the Guardians stopped moving.
After chasing the source of power, Leor was lowering his hand, and on that hand was a ring as thick as Winte’s earring.
However, unlike Winte, all the Guardians stopped this time.
However, it seemed that they were ignoring the additional orders.
To be precise, he was trembling as if he didn’t know whose order to listen to.
Leo’s eyes twitched.
“Huh…”
Is the exclamation Hest or Leor?
What is clear is that Leo is unusually shocked.
Winte, who was looking at the stopped guardians with her eyes at the cold bottom, glared at me ferociously and pointed at me.
“Keuugh…! Leo! Grab that guy right now…!”
“Winte.”
Leo’s voice was cold.
Winte stiffened at his reaction, which made a soft sound, and Leo glared at Winte.
“You must have warned me, right?”
“…No, I…!”
They looked around her as if they were unfair, but none of the heads of households seemed to have any intention of defending Winte.
Of course. Are you trying to subdue the VIP by force for swearing?
It was a situation that could destroy the meeting itself.
It’s something strange to not know the world. There seemed to be other reasons, but I’m not interested in them. I just want to see her lofty face distorted as soon as she gets kicked out.
Winte, who tried to protest her disapproval with her face, glanced at her May Yal and let out a sigh of relief at her.
“I understand that you have agreed. I expel you.”
“To agree.”
Starting with Dirgr’s consent, all the heads of household except for Hest agreed, and Winte’s body was engulfed in her air current and soon disappeared.
She was kicked out of the meeting.
Just before disappearing, the expression on his face was calm, a little disappointing.
The Guardians who lost their order target stood tall… She then stomped away and knelt on her knees as if prostrating.
It’s exactly halfway between me and Leo.
“Even though he used the artifact as the leader, he guessed who the owner was…”
His tone was calm, but Leo seemed quite surprised.
No, not just him, but all of the family heads.
Match! Match! Match!
Small at first, then louder and faster applause.
Boyd clapped his hands with a smile on his lips in astonishment.
“Amazing! That one stranger stopped Frost Tia, when she heard that, she thought it was a delusion… But it’s beyond expectations!”
“…”
Delusion?
“Yeodere-nim. I told you earlier.”
Hest put her hands on her back and stared straight at me, probably noticing my puzzlement.
“Our ancestors, the ten heroes… Their focal point, Pryunar, was able to use the arms of strangers.”
“It was.”
“It’s been more than a thousand years since ‘That Guy’ was sealed away… But during that long time, Fryunar hasn’t appeared once.”
Whether demons use tricks, monsters attack, or natural disasters strike… Hest muttered bitterly that Fryunar had not appeared.
“Perhaps we… I wondered if the ‘hero’ chosen by Nanar, who gave us, would be Pryunar, but the case of long years and history told me that was not the case.”
“…”
“At that time. Lady Yeodre appeared. Like Pryunar, Lady Yeodere used an alien’s weapon as her own.”
“So, I’m Pryunar… Is that what you mean?”
I glanced at the Guardians.
They still showed no sign of getting up…
“I didn’t think so. It’s just that Fryunar showed the same characteristics as him… I thought it was necessary to experiment.”
“Experiment?”
“You’re talking about what Yeodere-nim just did.”
Guardians pointed with their chins.
Those who obey my orders.
“As a conclusion from our discussions, I was thinking of asking Dre-sama to issue an order to the Guardians.
“…”
“You have done something closer to Fryunar than anyone else in a thousand years. Those guardians were originally powerful beings, but those who were defeated by Fryunar and became protective of the teenage family after making a pact… Originally, they would obey anyone other than the teenage family. It doesn’t happen, but if it does. That’s…”
“Fryunarda?”
Hest nodded his head. Something is going wrong with the story.
“The reason why the gaju meeting was delayed was because we belatedly obtained the information that you used another stranger’s weapon.
They said it was a discussion about Frostia… Was this really it?
It must have been the true intention known only to the head of the family who probably did not even know about Gold.
But here’s the curious point.
Even if I’m Fryunar or something, then what do you want from me?
I asked without hiding my doubts.
“If I do that Prunar, what will the heads of households do?”
“I’ll serve you.”
The answer came from Dirgr.
She was looking at me with her arms undone and her face wide open.
“If you really are Pryunar, we serve you.”
“After enshrinement? Are you saying it’s enshrined just for symbolism?”
“No.”
This time… It was Whitekatsu.
She said as calmly as the first time, as if she had made up her mind right away.
“Remove the demon lord.”
“That’s what you guys think…”
As soon as she spit out her words, Huaikatsu slowly turned her head at the backlash, and Blizzard, who responded to her words, stared into space.
However, rather than the usual drowsy face, a considerable agitation was seen.
It was Dirgr, not the cold-hearted Whikatsu, even though it was refuted that she was angry with him.
“What do we think? That’s right. We’re different from the guys who make excuses and say that we’re only preparing in a safe place.”
“Uh huh. Why are you talking like that, Dirgr?”
Galde raised her palm in a gesture of restraint, as if trying to defuse the situation.
Like that or not, I’ll start with my curiosity.
“To eliminate the demon lord… Which demon lord?”
“He is a true demon king.”
Everyone held their breath at Grise’s words.
Some seem offended, some seem to turn away.
When I mentioned the true Demon King the other day, I told him not to call me carelessly, but Leo seems to be different.
“Grise…”
“Hmph. I like that title. It doesn’t seem like he’s a coward.”
Leo didn’t show much reaction to Whiteatz and Dirgr’s reaction, and only stared at me.
“You may have heard. Ten heroes and Pryunar sealed him, but his desperate cry divided the true demon king into 665 remnants, and the present demon kings of purgatory were born.”
“Then, getting rid of the true demon lord… Is synonymous with wiping out all demon lords?”
“That’s right.”
Hest, who answered instead of Leo, laughed.
“Now is a time of peace. Somewhere in the world, bloody battles are taking place, but even so, we cannot deny that it is the most peaceful time in a thousand years.”
The mild tone instantly changed to firm.
“However, even if there is a possibility of ruining this era of peace… If it can be done… If there is Pryunar, even if he doesn’t know about ordinary demons, he will have to stop the seed of the true demon king. I will be happy to help.”
“Hmm.”
How is it?
To be honest, I’m not really interested.
No matter what mission… I don’t understand.
Whether the guardians followed my words in the first place, whether it was Pryunar or something, would the situation change just because I was alone?
In the first place, what have I been doing until now, and if it turns out that I am Fryunar, then I will kill the demon king?
“What did you do until now, and now you’re saying you’re going to kill the demon lord?”
“…Wow.”
After all, there seems to be such a thing as age.
Hest, who had matched my heart, smiled.
“Something will change. If you’re Pryunar and pass the ‘Qualification’… Our artifact will be completely unlocked.”
“Completely…?”
So, are you saying that the power that Wintenna and Leor just opened isn’t perfect?
30% Frostia without exaggeration. Or did you feel the power that reminds you of 50% Askatlov in the fantasy?
“The kingdom of Enthiaer is peaceful. This old man’s residence is fine, except for occasional disturbances. But…”
Dirgr accepted and continued Hest’s words, which were blurry.
“Nana Winte. And Whitekatsu… I hate to admit it, but even Boyd is holding back the ‘invasion’.”
“Hey. You don’t want to admit it. That’s harsh.”
“If you want to be acknowledged, get rid of all your black schemes.”
“It’s a plan? There’s no such thing~”
It was a frivolous reaction, but Boyd’s eyes never left me, and they were serious.
It’s messy somewhere
Then, as if in a surprise attack, Blizzard opened her mouth.
“Hmph. I still remember the name Sor…”
“Uh huh.”
At Blizzar’s words, Boyd made a sad face, saying that he was catching a live person.
…But please.
Remembered
It was assumed that the same teenage family was behind that bitch… Was that a void?
Looking at Boyd, he clasped his hands together and shook his head, saying no.
But now it doesn’t matter anyway.
One important thing to me.
My profit and loss.
“Then what do you want from me now?”
With the use of Julis’s sword, it was suspected that there would be a “Successor” Of Fryunar, and now that the Guardians followed my orders for some reason…Are they being tested on their qualifications right away?
“It’s an urgent priority to meet the conditions to test Prunar’s qualifications. Of course, we will not spare any support for that.”
Leor, who answered my words, narrowed his eyes a little, and Whaikatsu. Dirgr. Hest…And even glanced at Winte’s seat, which was not here. I looked at Brave’s seat.
“Those who are still defending against the invasion seem to have misunderstood, but we, Grise, Blizzar, and Heart, have no intention of neglecting our duties. Was the support clumsy?”
“…That’s not it.”
Dirgr, who seemed to hate the family that was not invaded, was not very strong against Leo or Grise.
“Yes. We have a mission. Of course, we have a mind to fulfill that mission. That’s why…Dre-sama, we will spare no effort in supporting you until you are qualified. Sounds like a good opportunity to solve it.”
“Is that so?”
Smiled mischievously.
Gald made an uneasy expression at my laughter, Blizzard clicked his tongue, and Leo… Rather, he laughed even more deeply.
“But Dre-sama would say, You guys won’t listen to me, so why should I…”
“You know that.”
Boyd let out a puff and then cleared his throat.
“Dre-sama is someone who can’t be defeated by force. If he’s an enemy, he’s someone who kills thousands of people regardless. How can we stop someone like that?”
Why did that story come out all of a sudden?
It was so damn thick that I glared at it, but Leo didn’t even move.
“If such a person becomes Pryu Nar, how strong he will go against his demons. I look forward to seeing how great the power of his ruthlessness will be.”
“Is that so? Then you know my answer, right?”
“Tell me.”
It’s easy to tell them to eat shit.
That side will be cool inside.
But… He has to act like an adult sometimes.
Live a good life
Even if you don’t obey, there is a girl who needs to repay the favor.
Right after the Guardian followed my order, she looked at me with a surprised face, and when the conversation started, Mayal politely put her hands together and bowed her head next to me.
She pulled her shoulders.
“Oh…!”
Embarrassed, she hugged her tightly and said.
“If you want, you can revive my friend’s family. Ah… By the way, if the qualification condition for Prunar is that your life is in danger, you won’t do it?”
“Whoop whoop…”
Leo smiled meaningfully. Have no luck.
Right!
Did you have a cane?
Hest, who had hit the ground with her staff, smiled as she raised her head at the sudden sound.
“Let’s do it like this.”
As she looked at her, Hest spoke to her.
“Pryunar’s qualifications, to put it simply, are to do the feats of our ancestors to the fullest. Among them is winning the tournament.”
“Competition?”
“A hero’s gaze. Do you know?”
“…Aha. I heard.”
Hest nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Prove that you are a hero. If you win a tournament organized by ten heroes, and even a tournament of that size… The qualifications required by the artifact will be met.”
“And?”
“And if you participate in the competition, I will give Love Yarte a chance.”
Among the lengthy explanations without interest, the answer I wanted came out now.
“I will participate. What is that opportunity?”
Hest for some reason opened her mouth for a moment, dazed, then laughed again.
“Like you, I will participate in the Hero’s Gaze… If I advance to the finals and win even one person. I will reinstate Love Yarte in my name.”
“Hest.”
Leor called quietly, but Hest didn’t even look at him.
However, I did answer.
“Why? Don’t you like it? Maybe… Are we going to do it like Brave?”
“…”
This time it was not a thorn, but a knife.
I thought he was gentle, but he might be quite bold on the inside.
Leor, who opened his mouth for no reason and then closed it, smiled broadly.
“I was just impressed by his wisdom. I’m lacking in body, but I support that opinion as the leader.”
“Thank you.”
Hest looked at me as if asking, and I looked at Mayal next to me.
“When is the contest held?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
It opens quickly again…
But what about two days?
I know that Hest made the proposal out of consideration for me.
There is no clause saying that if I drop out, I will take away the opportunity of Love Yarte.
I can be eliminated, but Mayal must not be eliminated.
For two days, I will awaken the power within her body.
“I will do my best.”
It’s a call.
