Chapter 653 – Calm Down Battle Count
Today is the day when there is a meeting in Gaju. I was depressed about what happened to Lena, so I was worried about whether I would be able to attend the meeting properly.
Still, thanks to the two cats, I was able to come to my senses to some extent.
[Aren’t you worried about Flaon…? Didn’t you pretend to know?]
Him?
It was pretty good.
Smells sweet, tangy…
But that’s all.
There is no such thing as coziness!
[And. I want to kill him.]
[Me too.]
These tenant bastards…
Malachia said in a pitiful tone.
[What are you going to do with Flaon attacks in the future?]
What do you do?
I went mad, so that’s the end of it.
[It’s a waste.]
What a waste, what a waste, Goddess of Mercy.
Well, since he’s such a free-spirited Flaon, I think he’ll talk to me if he feels like it.
[I hurt the girl’s pride, is that so?]
?
Are you a girl
How do you know a girl’s heart? Yes?!
[Dragon is wise, so it’s all cancer.]
Shut up.
Well, if you don’t talk, you can’t help it.
Malachia was silent for a moment, then she spoke.
[Drehem doesn’t look like that, but it’s very cold.]
I?
[I don’t think I’ll be sad no matter who leaves.]
Whoops. Yes.
I’m so mentally strong…!
[Hmm.]
Malachia groaned.
[If I leave someday, how many days will you remember me?]
Her steps stopped for a moment and then started walking again.
Few days? A few hours is good. Hey.
[Is that so?]
But why? Are you going to disappear soon?
…Would it just disappear someday? You?
[Well. I don’t know.]
No. It bothers me a lot.
If you’re going to tell me, do it!
But Malachia was silent.
You can hear me, but it just seems like chewing.
What’s wrong with this kid…?
“Dre.”
Hearing her call, I looked up and saw Gald smiling broadly as he pointed out the window at her.
“I’m ready. Let’s go.”
“Ah. Thank you.”
Shudder.
Darkness rose next to me, then a man walked out and Gald’s laughter disappeared in an instant.
“I should have helped you. Gald. I’m sorry~”
“…No. Well, it’s okay.”
Gald said in a trembling voice.
The uneasy Ryunar that Mr. Euclid exudes is definitely affecting Gald, the subject of it.
Unlike Gold, he is more like a merchant than the head of a prestigious family, and unlike Gold, he is the type to deeply hide his inner feelings, but now he fully reveals his tension and disgust.
And Mr. Euclid seemed to be excited, and when I went ahead a little faster, he whispered to me.
“Dre-sama. He is an incredible man.”
“…”
“Look at it now. He is ignoring the heir and walking forward as he pleases. It’s implicitly that he thinks he’s on top.”
No.
Doesn’t it look like he’s just excited about sending his daughter to school…?
“Aren’t you two childhood friends?”
“Well… I’ve known him since I was little, but it’s hard to call him a friend. Since then, I’ve been messing around with him in many ways…”
Did Mr. Euclid really make a mistake?
Maybe I misunderstood something because I was uncomfortable with it.
I guess that’s what it is. I saw a warp gate ahead.
Parts Tsutt! Parts Tsutsutsutsu!!
Grise and Blizzar created a warp gate through which pillars of light and ice particles appeared to lead to the meeting room.
The Hart family’s warp gate flashed with yellow and blue lightning as if it were on fire.
“Ha ha. Everyone is already waiting. Let’s go.”
“Thank you.”
My brother’s father, who treats me respectfully and naturally walks as if he were a minion.
Looking at the power of the lightning, I asked indifferently.
“Gold.”
“Yes? What is it?”
“Has the Heart family always been Heart?”
“Hmm? Haha. Of course.”
Gald answered without hesitation.
However, I noticed a slightly different attitude, and at the same time I remembered the words I heard from Yuna in the past.
…First of all, not yet.
Yet.
After that, Gald treated me with the same attitude, and after that, Mr. Euclid, who had preceded me, hurriedly returned and went to the front of subspace with the two heads of household.
And after a long time, I entered the residence meeting room.
Quoo.
[I told you.]
[‘I’ will find you.]
…Ah. This is it.
The unidentified voice I heard when I first entered the meeting room in Grise.
Is it talking to me, or is it just input… Something of a high level that I can’t even detect on what principle it is talking to.
And.
[It’s halfway now.]
[Then, soon.]
[Soon.]
[I will meet you.]
[Only me.]
…?
Something, the dialogue has increased compared to last time…
Dig!!
“…”
Terrible. Terrible.
Even if I just close my eyes and open them
Vision is normal. Hearing is normal…
…What was it?
“Welcome.”
Thoughts were buried in a benevolent yet old voice.
Head of Hest.
She was looking at me with one hand on her back and her hand on her staff.
In the past, family heads were like a judge looking down at me from a higher place than me.
Now, from the beginning, I’m on an equal footing… No, it’s slightly, but I’m a little higher.
Are the seats in this the house meeting room arranged in consideration of each other’s social status?
I looked around.
There is still no one in the place of Brave and Love Yarte.
Aside from the extinct Brave, still. No Love Yarte?
“When will the hero’s gaze resume?”
“Um…”
“The promise you made with me. You haven’t forgotten.”
My words, like interrogating and arguing, never feel good.
Hest, decrepit and cunning, answered in no way offended.
“Of course. Love Yarte’s eldest daughter. If that child did well in Hero’s Gaze, I would actively help the Love Yarte family’s teenage family lottery.”
I looked at the Teenage Families management window.
Sure enough, Hest’s affinity was only 1, but it was definitely down.
It’s like a snail.
“When was that?”
“…”
“Love Yarte must feel like every day is drying up blood.”
I deliberately stared fiercely at the family heads one by one.
Except for Nova Blizzard, who said she had tried crap before, she didn’t avert her eyes.
The ones smiling at my gaze are Mr. Gald and Euclid.
Hest and Grise are expressionless. White Katz.
Palyu… He was worried about me, but making a rough expression was a highly praised performance.
Well, I’ve been missing school a lot lately.
And Dirgr.
She was looking at me with a sweet her face that she didn’t like.
Mmm.
This time, the atmosphere was quite supportive of me. What happened?
Well, it doesn’t matter now.
I said ignore her.
“Is it that they hold the hilt themselves?”
“Those thoughts…”
“I am also holding a sword. Coincidentally, the hilt related to you.”
The atmosphere became quiet for an instant at the indirect mention of my reward and punishment.
Soon, as if displeased, Dirgr opened his mouth.
“Heir. I respect you, but you cannot intimidate and restrain us.”
“Why not?”
“That’s an act of exceeding authority…”
“You guys are trying to exterminate the Braves and oppress Love Yarte to expel them?”
Dirgr shut her mouth.
It’s time to give him some carrots.
“Of course, we know that there will be difficulties in resuming the Hero’s Gaze. There were many accidents to recklessly resume.”
I looked at the heads of the heads of households.
Eyes trying to see what you are saying.
“I promise. Such disgrace will never happen again, and I will give you practical power and benefits, not just honor.”
Did you feel sincerity when you said it with all your might?
Whikatsu asked.
“I’ll put the dishonor aside. How?”
“I’m sure you’ve heard about my powers. You guys can develop the powers of our teenage family.”
There was tension between the heads of households.
What’s different from before is that it’s a favorable tension now.
“Already Blizzar’s second daughter. Clair Lane Blizzard-san. And Love Yarte’s eldest daughter Meichi Love Yarte. Winte’s patriarch Palyu here. And Hest-sama’s granddaughter, Lald-san, also rose with their own abilities. Although there may be a difference, the strength has definitely improved.”
Grise deliberately left out.
El couldn’t tell if the darkness was a rise in power or a runaway.
“In particular, Mr. Clair’s rise in power must be remarkable. Isn’t that Mr. Nova?”
“…That’s right.”
Nova stuttered a bit before answering.
However, as if what I said was true, I nodded my head.
“Show me your sincerity. Then I will show you my sincerity as well.”
Whikatsu blinked.
“It’s a story that appeals to the taste buds. But heirs. In order to build mutual trust, shouldn’t we show sincerity first?”
I deliberately ignored her.
“The next item. I guess you could say it’s the most important.”
Huaikatsu opened her mouth slightly embarrassed, but she soon returned to her calm face.
“Everyone should know that each faction is gathering in Sers right now. You must have wondered why.”
Seeing the family heads staring at me, I said straight away.
“One of the Eight Demon Kings in Sers. Askatlov will attack. It seems that the oracle has already descended in several places.”
Consternation ran across the heads of the heads of households.
“So, if you can afford it, please apply…”
Jjoong!!
Suddenly, there was a sound like a huge piece of metal being smashed to the ground.
When I looked to the side where the sound came from, it was dirty.
Since this is a subspace, the sword was not visible, but the pose made it look like the sword was stuck on the floor.
“As expected. Did you collude with Euclid Boyd?”
The only demon in this place. Dirgr was burning his eyes.
“You made it?”
“Did you think we wouldn’t know that you two were hanging out after you went to the Void not too long ago? Besides, Askatlov is resurrected…? Right after you guys made contact?!”
Dirgr pointed the tip of his sword at Mr. Euclid.
“Tell me Euclid. What are you planning this time?”
“What? Well? I have too much work…”
Mr. Euclid with a relaxed voice and a face that says he is sorry for the world.
But it looks like that to me, and to others, the tension is accelerating.
“Couldn’t he have given up his heroic duty?”
Mr. Euclid shrugged his shoulders with a growl.
Now is the time for me to step in.
“I’ve never done that, Mr. Dirgr. You can swear anything.”
At the word oath, Dirgr flinched.
“Askatlov was eventually going to be unsealed someday. That time was only now. This is a fact that Nanar has also confirmed.”
At this time, let’s sell the Nanar name. Bitch like a dog.
“I won’t deny that Euclid-san and I became friends, but…”
“Okay. Then pledge.”
Dirgr said as if he had nothing more to hear.
“You’re cheeky. Dirgr.”
Mr. Euclid snorted.
“What?”
“Don’t you know who owns the hilt right now? It’s a hero’s duty, and if the heir decides, our unique Ryunar will disappear. Even so, he said he would bend it once.”
In the midst of the silence, Mr. Euclid grinned.
“Let’s figure out our subject. Huh? You watched it once, but I want you to make an oath on it. Aren’t you too bad at grasping the atmosphere? Ah. Are demons like that?”
“You…!”
“Stop. Hehe. It’s overheated.”
Mr. Gald laughed and stopped the two of them.
When Dirgr calmed down, I opened my mouth again.
“Dirgr. I have no intention of visiting you and making an oath. However, if you want to participate in the subjugation of Askatlov, if you come here, then I promise you that I will make an oath.”
Dirgr looked disapproving, but soon shut his mouth.
“…Askatlov…Isn’t there a way to seal it again?”
Hest asked cautiously, and I shook my head.
“No. Even if there is, how long are you going to let such a dangerous existence, an existence that entangles you?”
At those words, the family heads stared at me intently.
I felt a certain nuance in my words.
“What do you mean?”
Whikatsu’s humble question.
I gave them what they’d want, especially the out-of-the-way families who would be in charge of enigmatic areas like Boyd’s Gemstone Grove.
“I promise. The families in charge of the area of mystery now. We will definitely solve the core of the area. It was only the Void this time.”
It may not have been completely understood, but the heads of households became quiet as if they had nothing more to say.
Good. From now on, this is the main point.
“Let’s move on to the next agenda. Boyd put in some effort for the Askatlov subjugation. The momentum is about to decline.”
Homeowners who put a question mark on their heads and then harden.
I can imagine what you will say in the future.
“Support Boyd. This is an order.”
In the midst of the silence, Hest opened his mouth to listen.
I feel an angry aura. That’s what you’re trying to track
Grise was the first to speak at that time.
“An order. It’s unfair. You’re not our leader yet.”
A tone that was even resolute.
Good. Well done leor
“Haaaaa…”
Leor flinched as he sighed openly.
I said glaring at him.
“If it’s black, you’re a bastard.”
“…”
Homeowners who freeze in an instant.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? To be honest, I fucking hate all of you except Mr. Euclid and Mr. Gald. Is Winte better because he’s quiet?”
I looked at each head of household.
“A decrepit old grizzly.”
Hest opened her eyes.
“The former Pildu who planned to assassinate the heir behind the scenes.”
Grise. Leo turned his head.
“An expressionless woman who sells her own daughter in the family register and then throws it away and says she doesn’t know me.”
White Katz. She winced her eyes a little.
“A man who uses cold ice who does strange things behind my back.”
Blizzard. Nova gasped and swallowed her breath.
“A simple ignorant woman who doesn’t trust her co-workers and asks for an oath first.”
Dirgr groaned.
“I hate you guys. To be honest, I don’t even want to collaborate. When I first met you, who were the ones who were overbearing and asking me to take the test?”
He pointed at the heads of households with his finger.
“It’s you.”
“That…”
Hest waved her hand before saying anything.
“It’s okay. Please don’t open your mouth. To be honest, you guys don’t look like descendants of heroes. If you become tainted with politics and oust or exterminate your old comrades… The invitations will weep in the basement.”
It’s a statement that crosses the line a bit, but it’s probably because Leo, who was insulted the most in the beginning, is shutting up. No one speaks
As planned.
“This is giving you a chance. A chance to prove yourself as a hero against Askatlov. You can ignore it. I won’t interfere with you. If you do, get out.”
I was silent for about a minute and waited for responses.
No one goes out
“…Good. Good. Then, the last item.”
I smiled lightly.
“I’m thinking of getting Mr. Ixia Boyd into Fryunar Academy. If you have children at the academy, please take good care of them. More than that.”
The meeting is over.
Ah. By the way, the conversation I had with Leo became a story.
Before anyone stepped forward, I judged that it would be a shock if Leo, who was the leader and was synonymous with coldness, was insulted, and I had talked with him beforehand and agreed.
[Didn’t there be a word of cursing?]
What do you think?
He’s cheap even if he’s cursed at.
I don’t know why, but the number of surveillance in the void manor has been increased.
Anyway, he’s a mystery.
It’s the sin of making Euclid cry!
Coo coo coo.
Came back to Heart Street.
I just want to do something roughly. That’s when I thought I should take a break…
I felt the mood of the Hart family change.
Employees hurriedly approach me, pointing somewhere and opening their mouths.
I didn’t have to move.
Because the opponent has come.
“Hello.”
“…”
Oh, I can think of everything.
I wonder why he is here…
And the subjugation war has begun, of course it will come. Thought that.
Still, why did you appear in front of me? Thought that.
As many thoughts swirl around, I recall the memory of being brutally beaten by an object in front of me one day.
…And soft skin.
“Long time no see.”
“…Long time no see.”
It is clear that he came as an enemy, but a smile forms on my lips.
A white girl who smiles brightly for some reason, and wears a white shaman costume that is too revealing, or a dress that looks like a shaman costume.
1st place in user ranking.
“Mr. Makia.”
She’s going to heart, no. She came to me
