Chapter 338 – Ahead of Time.
“That… Even if you’re the heir, it’s an act of excess.”
Hest’s voice was deceptively calm, but I read a tremor and anger that I couldn’t hide.
“Extraordination?”
“That’s right. Deciding the head of the teenage family, the descendants of the ten heroes, is something that must be decided by the vote of the head of the family… No matter how much the heir will lead us in the future…”
“I don’t think so.”
“I beg your pardon?”
I smiled at Hest’s question.
“Ancestors. Who was the leader of the ten heroes?”
“…”
Looking at the old woman who was silent, I asked again.
“Who was the leader of the ten heroes?”
“That…”
“Yes. Pryunar.”
It’s dirty.
So I gave it out instead.
“The ten heroes were equal by nature, and it was Pryunar who led them.”
“…”
“So, after he disappeared, wasn’t Brave, who was said to have used the closest power to him, the leader?
Hest was about to say something, but bit his lip and held it in.
Judging by the small movement of his mouth, it seemed that he was about to swear.
He gripped the cane tighter than before, and he was worried that it might break.
“So, is the successor insisting that he be the leader now? As if he has already become Pryunar, even though he has not yet completed the ordeal properly?”
I nodded when I saw Hest, who was no longer trying to hide his anger in his voice.
“Isn’t it obvious? Since the leader you voted for tried to kill me, wouldn’t I just be anxious?”
“…”
After all, the Leo story is a cheat key.
You have a lot to say, but don’t you come out with an attitude that you want to hear it?
“To be honest, from my point of view, it doesn’t really matter if it’s the Trial of Fryunar or whatever.”
A commotion arose among the household heads.
Dirgr, Hest, and Palyu. In other words, in the case of Winte, he even made a humiliating expression. Bitch Do you remember that I sided with you just tens of seconds ago…?
“To be honest, the only thing that matters to me is my future and life. You may have traditions and obligations, but I am a raw man.”
I looked mainly at the homeowners of the ‘outfield’ who showed an attitude as if it was an honor just to go through the trials of Pryunar.
“Isn’t it too much to say that just because you have talent, you have to do something you don’t know? After personally investigating, it seems that all of Pryunar’s ordeals are dangerous?”
No response came out.
It must have been because it was the captain of the heroes that it was a dangerous job.
“As much as I do hard work, I need to get soybean paste. Oh… Was I being too blatant? Excuse me. I’m not good at peeling pumpkin seeds like Leo or others.”
“Look.”
Hest raised her voice, but I spoke casually.
“Why do you say that? I only said what kind of person?”
“…”
Flirt
That’s why I should have thought about reinstating Love Yarte. Where are you going to go beyond just words?
I looked at people very funny. You damn dwarf bastard.
“And did you ask about my qualifications as Fryunar? That’s right. I’m not Fryunar. I’m just someone who might become the Fryunar you want in the future. However, I’ve proven myself countless times.”
Hest. It’s good if you still want to stand above my head or at least try to create an equal position.
Make me aware of reality
“First… These guys here.”
I pointed my fingers at each of the giants that had the color of each family.
“I don’t know if the heads of households use artifacts to give orders, but other than that, it’s clear that my words take precedence over the heads of heads. Isn’t it?”
There was no negative word.
Wasn’t it because I used the perks of other strangers in the first place and the guardian gods showed me to be submissive, so they judged me as the successor and started the ordeal?
“And as you may have already heard, I have drawn some of Love Yarte’s power of ascension.”
“Hoo.”
“Indeed, it was!”
Boyd and Dirgr reacted, and the rest seemed calm as if they had already heard.
Dirgr, a female warrior who seemed to only know battle, was surprised by Void.
“And I also received the power of the water dragon, a secret that Pryunar hid in the cave of the sea god.”
“I received the power of the water dragon…?”
It was a fact he had never told anyone.
As the water dragon said, the hidden technology melted into the monument has not yet been manifested, but the power of the water dragon in the body is still clearly felt.
To the extent that he could evoke his image.
“For such a short period of time, the proof of his power as an heir seems to be overflowing…”
“I admit it. You are a great warrior.”
Dirgr’s exclamation.
It was pure admiration, without any flattery.
I’m sorry for her, but I have to pull it back at this point.
“Even though I worked so hard, Gryze, the leader, was stabbed in the back of the head. It’s a pity.”
“Ummm…”
Hest sighs. There will be nothing to say
“Even though I’ve researched Fryunar’s achievements, I don’t know the exact details. However, hardships are clearly expected trials, and I don’t have to do them.”
“That’s right~ To keep managing that forest of monsters just because our Boyd lives nearby… It’s kind of like taking responsibility just because you have power and talent…”
Euclid mumbled, but he shut his mouth after being glared at by other householders.
“Wouldn’t it be wrong to want something to motivate you to do a tough job that you weren’t interested in in the first place?”
“No, it makes sense.”
Boyd’s frivolous banter.
Whikatsu looked at her silently, Hest raised her eyes, but Boyd shrugged her shoulders with a groan and wasn’t particularly afraid.
Haha. Of course, it’s Dre-sama’s intention, but we have to help each other physically and mentally, don’t we?”
Gald’s words, which had been quietly watching, gained momentum.
In addition to that, Nova Blizzard opened her mouth.
“Do you think this is the wisest way to fight among us?”
“Blizza…”
Hest reacted as expected.
Opinions are half and half on this one. Because Paleu Winte, one of the three outfielders who were skeptical of my opinion, lowered his head as if he were neutral.
Boyd, Heart, and Blizzard upvote my opinion with this. And the composition of Dirgr, Hest, and Whikatsu, which seemed to oppose my opinion, was completed.
The old dwarf looked at the young elf with regret.
“Winte.”
“I will follow the decision. Hest.”
“…Ha.”
It was the words of one person that erased a blatant sigh.
“It doesn’t really matter about the authority to designate the first person.”
At Dirgr’s plaintive words, Hest opened his eyes wide and cried out.
“Dirgr!”
“? Is there anything going wrong? We are all under Fryunar anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to quickly decide on a temporary leader, Pildu, and think about fighting the devil as soon as possible?”
Simple but right.
How much merit is there in the first position in the first place, so why are you so far against it?
…Actually, that’s wise.
Of course, there are advantages to doing these things.
It’s fortunate that Dirgr is a family with no intentions.
At that time, I felt the gaze staring at me, and when I turned around, I saw that Huaikatsu was staring at me.
When I seemed to notice her staring, she opened her mouth in slight surprise.
“Where’s the benefit of the right to decide the leader? You want that, right? If it were us family heads, we’d get two things, honor and profit…”
Why not
You have a very important right.
I replied with a grin.
“Yes.”
“…Whoa.”
Hest sighed once more.
She knows
The fact that I would use my position as hostage and demand various things from the family heads.
The greedy guy will try to look good to me, and even if he is not greedy, he will have no choice but to be swayed by the greedy family head.
Hest closed her eyes for a moment, then she quickly opened them.
“Yeah. That’s good. It seems like your heart is already leaning toward you anyway. But…”
Hest, who had been staring at me with her eyebrows raised, looked at the family heads one by one this time and said,
“Who are you going to put forward? Heart?”
“Oh heck. I’m very uncomfortable in a place like that…”
It’s a really hateful tone, but in fact, it won’t make you feel bad.
However, I have no intention of appointing Gald as the leader.
He is a merchant after all. It is a talent optimized for assistance and support, but I don’t think it’s suitable to be the head of such a huge family.
I shook my head, haha, the successor understands my feelings.” Even then, there was Gald who was quietly sullen.
Watching that, Blizzard grinned.
That old man Even earlier, he had quietly said that it was certain that he would be the next leader, but…
Mate. Applause calmed the atmosphere.
In the midst of fourteen pairs of eyes, I said the name of the family I had thought of since I received the quest.
“As the temporary head of the team, I’m honoring ‘Brave’.”
The reaction was hot.
“…!”
“…What.”
“Hmm?”
“Huh? Uh… Heh heh…”
“Hmm?”
“What, what?!”
“…”
Hest’s eyes widened. For the first time, Waikatsu broke his expressionless face. What is it? The face of Dirgr. A smiling heart as if trying to evoke the atmosphere. Boyd seemed interested. Winte was greatly embarrassed. Blizzard thinks calmly.
Blizzard is the most surprising.
He wanted to be the leader, so I thought he would get angry… But surprisingly, he’s cool-headed.
Soon after, Nova spoke meaningfully.
“I see… Temporarily.”
“Yes. Temporary.”
I agreed with Nova Blizzard’s words.
Temporary is important.
“There’s no benefit to you in entrusting the leadership to any family right now… You’re saying that you’re temporarily granting the leadership position to a completely extinct family and officially deciding the leader later.”
“Exactly.”
I was thinking of designating Love Yarte temporarily, but I put up with the fact that even minor damage would be caused by putting the Love Yarte family, which still exists and is weak, at the head.
My intention anyway. ‘If you want to get the top spot, it’s better to look good.’ Everyone knows, and for that, it’s better to use people who don’t exist than to pick living people who might have a quarrel.
Nova nodded her head in agreement, but she asked me as if she didn’t know.
“I’m going to ask you a question. Is there anything I’ve done to make you uncomfortable? If so, I’ll try to fix it.”
Looking at various situations, it is right that Blizzard is the next leader. That’s how I see it.
Since Blizzar’s situation is to go halfway even if you stay still, he said that he wanted to cut off any buds that could threaten the lead position.
I was impressed by Blizzar’s cold and rational thinking, so I decided to give an honest answer.
“When Blizzard suggested rebuilding Love Yarte, didn’t you say that was impossible?”
“…It did.”
Blizzard sighed, wondering if there was such a thing.
There were people who glared at such Blizzard ferociously, so it was a bad way.
Nova also glanced at her, perhaps noticing her gaze, and immediately put on a laughable expression.
It was a very fleeting conflict, but I noticed that it was strange to be a quarrel between families, and more than that.
Belt ring.
You noticed the feud between Blizzar and Winte.
A ‘subquest’ has been granted.
[Do you want to confirm?]
…
There is everything.
Questra immediately noticed the discord.
I’ll have to look into this criterion. Isn’t it roughly like that? If I just think of it like that, is it giving me a quest, or am I supposed to know what kind of situation I’m in?
I’m not crazy right now, so I’ll check later.
Jjwoong-!
Suddenly, a roar rang through the room.
It was the sound of Hest hitting the floor with her cane.
The housekeepers became quiet.
The little old dwarf had his head down so I couldn’t see his face, but I could tell he was upset.
Indeed, he lifted up, his face full of anger.
“You’re selfish. Are you going to fulfill your self-interest like that?”
“You’re selfish, too, Hest.”
I’m slowly getting annoyed at the constant tackling.
“It was you guys who tried to put a leash on me by pretending that they had the upper hand, even though they had no intention of reinstating Love Yarte.”
Hest and some family heads hardened by the sudden banter.
Boyd smirked and Blizzard was looking at me with a smile on her lips.
I made it clear to the owners.
“I’ll tell you clearly here. If my decision is twisted, tell me now. Then I’ll leave here. Don’t worry, I won’t be pathetic again.”
“…”
Seeing the frozen Hest, I continued.
“You don’t have to reinstate Love Yarte. I’ll restore the ascension, and I’ll use any position, whether it’s a flame sword or something, to restore their family. And I think you’re still mistaken, but listen carefully.”
I opened my eyes and glared at the old dwarf.
Hest’s expression turned strange, probably because she felt that my gaze was not looking at the shadow, but directly into her own eyes.
“It’s not me that I’m sorry for. It’s you guys that I’m sorry for. Please don’t fuck with politics. If I don’t do it, it’s enough.”
Breathing in, I cry out to close.
“You don’t have anything to blackmail me with. Even if there is, I’ll ignore it and get rid of those who harass me first. Why? Do you think you can’t? Keep in mind.”
Chuck. Point your finger at the old woman and warn her.
“I’m the one who resonates three artifacts and cuts the main sword. Even if I fall behind, my enemies are the ones who kill and die. Got it?”
“…”
“So don’t be more irritating, if you’re going to do it, don’t do it.”
Hest froze, but Dirgr um. Hmm. He nodded as if he liked it, and Blizzard and Boyd grinned.
The rest was fine.
Looking at the responses, the answer was decided.
“I’ll go out first, so decide for yourself.”
And without really hesitating, I drew my sword and cut through the space.
Throwing myself into an open space outside…I came out into the Blizzard family garden.
The ‘Flowers of Ice’, the core force of Blizzar, who had been waiting, looked at me with bewildered faces.
At the same time, a lady from Blizzar walked towards me, but I ignored it and walked forward.
And…
Tring!
[The head of the teenage family is temporarily set to ‘Brave’.]
[As the leader is temporarily set, a new feature called ‘Hero Management’ will be released!]
It seems to have been decided as soon as I left. I’m going to do this in the end, but I’m going to bow down a long time ago.
But hero management… ?
Not a shop?
Maybe it happened because it was temporary, not official… Soon the list was lined up in front of my eyes.
It was the name of each family and head of the family.
For example, Grizeen
Grise: (CEO) Leor R Grise
Current crush status: 10 (more)
It is written like this
Being representative means that other members of the family will also be on the list, but I don’t know why, but now only the representatives are listed.
As I was going through the list and memorizing the names of the heads of families I didn’t know, I hesitated.
Because I saw an unexpected scene.
Brave, who became the current leader.
The family name listed at the bottom… Was spelled strangely.
Brave: (CEO) ??
…What is this.
Brave must have perished.
The moment the confusion doesn’t go away. One more phrase appeared next to Brave.
[Rebuild the family.]
