Chapter 181 – 180. Various (8)

-Lord Carlos/Count Carlos’ Mansion 1:30 PM-

The long march was over and it was time for a short rest.

First of all, even though Ilias treated them lightly, there were many seriously injured people and many had broken, broken, or torn parts. There were some whose minds were so broken that they were so frightened that they spoke gibberish, and most of them were ordinary soldiers and low-ranking commanders.

And they were people who fulfilled their mission and realized [Noblesse oblige].

Naturally, their damaged bodies and wounds…

-Children of light, arise.

Ilias cured them all.

…

-Ah, this is- my arm, my arm!!

-My, my legs too!!! My legs are fine too!!

-Excuse me, are you a goddess? Your precious name-

And those who were all healed all asked Ilias’s name…

-I am a nameless being. Naturally, I watch over you and take care of you. If you appreciate me, please survive.

She didn’t teach me her own name.

Do you not want to be worshiped anymore? Perhaps because he was determined not to indulge in vanity anymore, he begged them as if he wanted nothing more.

-Please survive until the end and live fiercely.

Well, that’s right.

…

I don’t know, honestly.

And I have nothing to say about this. It’s not for me, and I shouldn’t be, to nitpick about what she feels, how she acts, and her resolve and actions. She will go her own way, and I will go mine.

And the paths overlap.

Now that we are becoming entangled as one, she is lending me strength.

And the feelings she had for me.

That you have to give something in return.

And after the luncheon, many people were moving supplies into the barracks, which had been converted into barracks, and while the soldiers were settling in and the commanders were preparing to carry out the operation, their leader.

“First, let me introduce myself once again. I am Eleuard. This is Eleuard Pantalone. This is my first wife, Ellis. And my second wife, Liz.”

Duke of Pantalone.

Eleuard Pantalone.

Elizarote, Liz’s father.

Duke Pantalone, leader of the resistance.

It’s time to talk to him.

And his wives are here too.

First wife [Elise].

And his second wife [Liz].

Coincidentally, Elizabeth’s nickname was also Liz, so I was quite surprised.

Naturally, along with his two wives, he introduced me to his family, and the reason they were here was very simple. First of all, they were armed and holding swords so that they could not be seen as the hostesses of a noble family, but they were also members of the Pantalone duchy.

And since there was a strange, dark-blond tanned girl standing next to her daughter Liz, it was only natural that she wanted to come and see him.

There is no reason to give a bad impression, nor should it. These are the people whom Liz regards as her mother, her first wife, her second wife, who is her own biological mother, and her mothers-in-law to me.

At the same time, I greeted them politely.

“Nice to meet you. Clark – Dawn Bringer.”

And…

“Nice to meet you. My name is Mira – Dawn Bringer.”

My older sister is here too.

Tea time held after lunch.

It was a little less than the elegance of a duke’s family, but after I asked her to at least use a high-quality car, Liz reluctantly agreed. No matter how much of an exhibition it may be, at least you get to meet your in-laws, so you can’t treat them for anything, right?

The person leading this tea time is none other than my sister.

Now my sister is sitting in front of them.

She put aside her usual witch uniform and wore a women’s tuxedo suit, with her long hair tied back in a low ponytail.

There he was, facing the Pantalone family with impeccable elegance and etiquette.

Sometimes, you might mistake her for being a crazy woman because she’s with me and Liz, but surprisingly, the most noble person among them is my older sister. That’s because education was education from a young age, and when I made her angry, I beat up the person who made her angry, so compared to me, who rarely showed noble manners, my sister was a cultured and elegant woman, although she didn’t get angry.

And honestly, I was a little surprised.

My sister had quite a few dresses ready to wear, and I helped her pick them out a few times, telling me to wear them on important occasions and even recommending them.

And my older sister used to enjoy doing fashion shows in front of me every time, wearing sophisticated but feminine suits and androgynous suits…

No, I absolutely assure you that if you say that this violently obscene, literally sex-like body looks androgynous, that would be truly insane in its own way.

There is something about that violent body that is revealed even when wearing a suit that really stimulates men’s hearts.

…

Should I ask her to wear that later?

“…Clarke?”

And Liz must have sensed my gaze and poked my side.

His face looks full of heartache, and of course I know.

This means that my sister hid her power.

If there is a woman who is so beautiful and attractive that she is different from his own daughter at first glance, wouldn’t that be crazy in its own way?

My sister tried to be considerate of Liz in her own way, but it seems to have had the opposite effect.

Who knew wearing a women’s tuxedo would be so ugly?

Of course, it also guarantees quite powerful power, divine protection, and strong defense.

And the clothes themselves are countless lambs.

…

Compressing tens of tons of mass and making it into armor, sister, don’t you have a weird hobby?

And when he looks at me, he winks and points forward, which seems to mean that I should focus on the front.

Well…

If Dawn Bringer doesn’t have a father right now, her older sister is like the biggest adult.

Liz is wearing light half-plates, hard leather, and chain mail here and there, and while she is not disarming herself in the current situation, she is wearing her older sister’s tuxedo.

Not only the horns on my sister’s head, but also Nug and Yev who were standing next to her were all neatly dressed in tuxedo suits, and Anna and Carol were now standing by Anna’s side as maids, away from me, waiting for her orders.

Should we call this a meeting or a war?

Naturally, looking at Liz, my older sister, the Duke of Pantalone’s family, and their servants sitting behind me, I felt like I was at a noble’s tea time after a long time.

“Ah, bar, nice to meet you.”

“…”

Liz, her second wife, looks on with her pitiful expression as she looks at Liz right next to her own. It is probably not because of her mood that she looks at her daughter with some pity.

“…Well, first of all, son-in-law, I’ll ask… The person next to you is [Sheep Witch]. Isn’t Mira – Dawn Bringer?”

“It was called that in Gehenna, hehe.”

“…I heard that Gehenna was destroyed in an instant, and the bleating of a lamb was heard in the center, and the person who did it was…”

“Yes, it’s me.”

I don’t deny it.

Anyway, there is no reason to deny it here, and even if I destroy it, what are you going to do with my sister? He looks at me with a provocative gaze. Of course, since Gehenna was managed in Phrygia, if you are thinking of taking responsibility for the destruction of Gehenna’s asymmetrical forces, please stop.

Even though they exist, they are idiots who will never help you, and they are absolutely no help in the current situation.

“If you think that Freesia is ruined because of what I did, then I recommend that you break off the engagement right now. I can’t let Clark be with a woman whose parents are such idiots.”

“I asked just to confirm the truth. As you know, nobles like to find fault. And I wish those idiots could be my burden, so I don’t think I can inflict much damage on those lumps of metal.”

Don’t know what I’m saying.

Of course they attacked Phrygia. At the same time, there will be a lot of people who will annoy me in various ways, and of course, there will be a lot of people who will look at me with very perverse eyes from the beginning.

When I thought about how I could feel it here and there, I could really understand why my adoptive father had beaten me.

They really are fucking bastards.

There were some people with good eyes, but they were a minority.

Of course, compared to the majority of bastards, they are absolutely inferior.

7 are the guys with twisted eyes, 2 are the ones who put in some effort and can show off, and 1 is the most useful of them all, wouldn’t it be too much?

And when it comes to issues related to Gehenna, my sister’s position is the same.

I got kicked out for blocking my path.

“It won’t be a problem at all. There was a misfortune at home… But the archwitch and the archdemon blocked the road. So I smashed it and got out. Isn’t that enough? If not, my father will be in trouble. “I did it, but am I not compassionate enough to find fault with the fact that I blew up the things that blocked it?”

“Is that possible? Of course, we just need an explanation as to why they did it.”

“Please tell me clearly. Why did you kill the witches without their permission? I don’t think you need an answer like this. If you are dissatisfied, make me pay the price yourself. If you are willing.”

And if you tease them, attack them, you bastards.

That’s what my sister said.

Of course, so do I.

“…If there is someone who can pretend not to notice that their family’s life is at risk, please be the first to come forward. If you want to experience the wrath of the warrior who defeated the Demon King.”

I also answer.

So, behave yourself well.

Of course, if you just need a reason to bite, I’ll just say it too.

“When it comes out, I’ll take care of everything as it comes out.”

“Is that the right thing to do?”

“Those bastards who can’t tell the difference between poop and urine and only bite their allies even in times of emergency, if you don’t hit them on the head whenever they come out, when will they hit you?”

“What about loss of power?”

“If having something is as bad as not having it, it’s better to get rid of it and feel at least comfortable inside.”

Rather than leaving it to an idiot to suffer, it would be better for competent people to suffer a little more in this situation.

Of course, if we leave it to them, it would be a disaster if they were assassinated.

Do you know what?

“This country has already been ruined for a long time.”

“…Is it.”

“Well, anyway, if it’s not something I care about, I have nothing more to say.”

“…Can you save this country?”

“I can’t get it.”

All I know how to do is break it and destroy it. Wouldn’t it be better to deal with really strong monsters and monsters, or save this country? Save me?

I can’t do that.

Don’t take it for granted.

Things in this world are not so simple that I end up destroying them.

It is not simple and complicated.

If I could just break the fucking head and everything would be easier, then why did I suffer and why am I still going to suffer?

“That’s surprising. I thought you would immediately wipe out all of Camelot’s invading forces.”

“…I really don’t want to do anything crazy like storm in because of some Canf bitch. And that’s the worst handshake ever and I’ll never do it again.”

“What if I have to?”

“If there is something I need to do, I will do it, but I will go in thoroughly prepared. I will be thorough in the time and preparation process.”

“…You’ve suffered quite a bit of trauma. Looking at you, it’s almost like post-traumatic stress disorder. Are you really okay?”

It’s not fake, it’s real.

If something like that happens, you have to be thoroughly prepared before going in. And going into enemy territory and messing with them is something I would never do again unless I knew the enemy well and had a plan in place to mess with them. Really.

“…It’s not to the point where my judgment is affected by something like that anymore, but I don’t want to go on a trip like that again.”

“…It must have been very difficult.”

“Clarke saved our lives. We were injured to the point of death several times, but we survived… I was saved by Clark again this time.”

“…Thank you.”

“I did what I had to do.”

“Isn’t it important that you did it, and really did it, in a world where there are so many people who don’t do what they should do and neglect it? And to the point where they say it’s impossible to save those damn priests and the magicians of Teiba. ..”

“There is nothing impossible. There is just no way to do it.”

I found the way.

Found it and made it happen.

As a result, Liz was revived, and I was able to save her.

The Duke of Pantalone must have liked what I said as he looked at me and smiled heartily. Did he like the idea that the method had simply not been found?

Naturally, even things that are proven impossible in the world may later become impossible as technology develops, methods are discovered, or they are put into practice.

The information in the Akashic Records is constantly being updated in my head, and I have made various things through it.

If you think about all the magic engineering products you made as a pastime over the past week, why on earth are they all put into practice in modern times? It almost makes me wonder.

If there is something convenient like this, we should preserve it. Why?

If there are people who remember this convenience, there is a way to make it.

There may be some worldly secrets about it, but honestly, it’s none of my business.

If you made it and use it well, that’s fine.

“Pahahahahaha!! Really, after hearing this bullshit from the outside and talking to you in person, I think I understand. It would have been better if you had become a knight instead of a wizard. To be honest, you’re like Priam, the ugly-eyed bastard from the Scherwitz family. “I was annoyed by your boasting about your children, but seeing your attitude and strength made me feel better!”

“Are those idiots still like that?”

This is another story I don’t know. Tsk.

He just listens to the conversation between the two father and daughter without reacting in any way. There are probably some things you want to talk about between father and daughter, and I won’t interfere with that.

“…It is true that the eldest son is outstanding, strong, and great, but in the first place, Liz, heaven knows, earth knows, and the warriors here know that you are the most outstanding knight, right?”

“…The world is not easy enough to overcome with just that.”

“Cluck, right? By the way… Edward, that guy-“

“…First of all, let me say I’m sorry. First mother.”

Even though she is not the mother who gave birth to her, she is treated like a mother. This is so strange. Not only me, but also my older sister, like Niyog-Sotep, or my sister didn’t tell me her name, but she was her own mother, whom she absorbed.

If you think about when those two were together, you can’t imagine it.

And it’s like I ate my own mother, and yet I can still treat her like a mother. This is a rare sight in its own way.

Of course, the words that came after that were ridiculous.

“That damn thing is already dead, and the person who entered that body is a completely different person.”

“…That’s right, Elizabeth.”

The first wife, Ellis, is called by her full name to avoid confusion with her second wife. She nodded her head at those words and accepted the death of her own son.

No-

“…I’m so sorry for your disgrace, Elizabeth. I’m so sick of that [Damn] Son ​​of a bitch, but… I’m honestly not happy about it.”

There’s a matter of respect, and of course, no matter how much of an asshole he was, it’s his blood. That means he killed it.

Wouldn’t it be heartbreaking to hear that he’s dead?

If there is, he must be a psychopath in his own way, and of course, my sister knows better than anyone else whether it is a lie or not.

“Elizabeth, Elizarote… Is she on the eastern border now?”

“He’s a member of Pantalone, so he knows what to do. And he’s not hiding from me anymore.”

As Liz said, Eliza Lotte is not weak; she is actually strong. His skills have just begun to shine, and of course he has outstanding skills that Liz recognizes. Now, all the Pantalone clans are fighting for their country with all their might, and although he is young, he is an adult. She too is fighting.

“…I see. If Elizabeth judges it that way, then that’s fortunate in its own way. I’m really, really fortunate.”

As it happened, the only ones left in Pantalone were the daughters, and the Duke of Pantalone looked at me and my sister and said,

“…By the way, Miss Mira, wearing that flower means-”

Flowers on my sister’s hair. That flower-shaped, golden rose brooch. That brooch is a sign that a witch is married. And sure enough, my sister looked at me and she grinned.

“Well, there’s no reason you can’t get married in the first place.”

“…”

I can see him clicking his tongue slightly. The Duke of Pantalone looked at his sister and then at Liz in turns and then let out a regretful look.

“…Liz, you are going through a difficult path. To be honest, as a father, it would not be pleasant to kill you, but I will respect the path you have chosen. You have fought for Pantalone and for Phrygia so far, and now you are yours. Go on your way.”

“I should, but not now. For now, I will be here fighting as a member of Pantalone, and just wait and see. I will definitely get my man from this woman next to me… No, this woman. Because it will.”

“Hehe, I’m looking forward to it.”

What are you expecting, sister? The reason I felt relaxed while listening to her words that were almost a declaration of war was that my sister was that confident, and her confidence did not die even though she wore a women’s suit that gave off an androgynous image.

Okay.

It’s truly incredible confidence.

Naturally, as soon as my gaze went there, Liz immediately poked me in the side.

Harder this time.

“Huh-“

Holding back screaming is also work. From Liz’s point of view, she wants to immediately hug me tightly and make me look away, but I can see that she is holding back because she is in front of her parents, and for me, it is a place that is truly unsettling. There was more to say, but I’ll leave that for later.

Anyway, this is the second official story.

“Now, more than that, Excellency Duke Pantalone. I know we have a lot to talk about in many ways. You know that, right? Now that my father has passed away, the name of the current [Dawn Bringer], And especially the former consul, and the former consul’s children. “It’s me and Clark. And according to my father’s will, I inherited my father’s house and all of Dawn Bringer… And I am the representative of Dawn Bringer.”

“That’s surprising. To be honest, I thought my son-in-law was the representative of Dawn Bringer.”

How could I sit in such a position?

Above all.

I am not suited for this position.

That’s right, I have enough [Power] To represent Dawn Bringer, but I know how to rule over those under it and look after its internal affairs, but there are things about me that are annoying, and above all, I’m not obsessed with that authority, and my [Purpose] Is And as long as the purpose is revenge, I am not suitable for that position.

A person crazy about revenge is not suitable as a leader of a group.

My sister smiled at that and began to explain the reason.

“Thank you for your kind words. Clark does have his shortcomings, but I am only taking on that role so that he can fight with peace of mind. In fact, you can think of Clark as your father’s true successor. He inherited everything from his father, and at the same time, he is his father’s true successor. “Because I’ve imitated my fighting style. Clark is just better than me when it comes to magic fighting. Of course, if you ask Clark to do various paperwork or something, he’ll do it well, but Clark won’t like it very much.”

“Pahahaha!! I used to be like that too. It hurts my eyes so much when I’m buried in the letters.”

No, not really. Of course, not only is it not difficult to see letters, but if you look for things like old parchment books or something like that, what you see are letters.

Even the wizards used a method that, as if they wanted to look like they were just writing something, made a code, and only by deciphering the code could the true magic be revealed, there wasn’t even a single book that properly explained magic, considering the ones who used it.

Of course you can do it, but it’s just better to play on the field.

I’ll say it again, I’m a guy who can burn everything for revenge.

“Not really. It’s just that I am not suited to be the leader of Dawn Bringer, and more than anything, I have work to do. Because of that, I cannot become the leader of Dawn Bringer.”

“For what reason?”

“There are those who caused my father’s death. I must deal with them.”

“…I’ll spare you the words. I hope you can rest in peace about that. If you were just that kind of man, you would have done anything to make my daughter stop, but you would come back after defeating the demon lord and take my daughter away. “I can’t do that because I’m the one who saved his life. Tsk.”

His judgment is correct.

Of course, if my daughter were to go to a man crazy about revenge, he would destroy my country. But Liz chose to be with me.

And I tried to let her go for the last time, but she followed through to her end.

Even though I kept my distance, I asked him to please stop pushing me away.

And I held her and-

If I try to do that now, they’ll probably put a chain around my neck and lock me up, telling me that Liz and I will be together forever… Whoever said that, or if I try to leave, of course that’s what I’m saying, there’s no way I can handle it, and in the worst case scenario, I won’t really get screwed over.

So that can’t be possible.

…

I want her to be happy, not unhappy.

If you become unhappy and broken because you are away from me, that is something that cannot happen.

“If it makes Liz happier being away from me, she’ll agree to that.”

“… Is that possible? I’m glaring at her father, thinking that if it’s not this man in the first place, I’ll die?”

In many ways, Liz is giving a sharp look towards her father. No, she is being glared at not only by Liz but also by her wives with eyes that tell them what they are talking about.

Perhaps I am a passing grade for those two ladies as well.

If so, that’s a relief.

Leave the wedge in place.

“…I would rather be a libertine, but I will not be a bastard to my woman. I will definitely protect that.”

“That’s enough.”

“If you want, you can at least cast Geass.”

“If it’s a promise made by a wizard who kept the magic circle that saved my daughter’s life by removing the magic circuit even without Geass, what’s there not to believe? That’s it, that’s it. You kept your word, and I believe it. You are a man with a lot of pride. “You are the type of person who cannot tolerate lies you tell yourself. I will believe in your self-esteem and pride. That is enough.”

I’m glad it looked good in many ways.

And with that, we proceed with the stories of our journey, stories that could not be fully conveyed through letters.

The eccentricities that Liz did, or the eccentricities that I did.

Now I’m hiding my identity, even about the rest of my [Colleagues].

He said he was currently away due to other work, but in fact, he was hiding in the music box.

Brother Gawain, please be patient.

First of all, I’m sorry, but he has a role that suits him.

Honestly, I ended up fighting with my brothers and sisters.

He didn’t want to do it because he felt sorry, but when he said he would do it himself, he prepared the next plan.

If you’re going to step out in front of people, you need to step up your game.

Anyway, we proceed with the stories between colleagues, dead colleagues, stories about what happened during the journey, what kind of battles were experienced during the journey, and what types of traps, strategies, tactics, and techniques were used.

In particular, I was listening carefully to Liz and I’s stories, and of course, in the competition between Liz and I to see who could kick more, I always won.

And at the end, there is a story about Liz protecting the party from numerous demons from Diabolus.

Come back again.

While we were discussing the unfinished stories, the Duke of Pantalone spoke to me.

“…Clarke, there is someone you need to see in person later.”

“Am I guessing right?”

“I don’t know what you’re guessing.”

Is that so, is it a secret?

“…Do other nobles know?”

“I don’t know. It’s something I shouldn’t even know.”

“…I see. More than that.”

Suddenly-!!

“I guess I have to greet guests.”

Tea time.

A harsh sound of the door opening is heard, signaling the end of light tea time.

And in front of him is a handsome man with blond hair, and countless things follow him. Nobles, idiots of all kinds.

And among them, there was a handsome man with blonde hair and green eyes.

And a handsome man with blond hair who holds a [Divine] That gives off a rather disgusting smell.

The moment he looked at Liz and made a lewd look, Liz also frowned her eyes.

It throws something towards me.

It was a glove.

Hmm.

What is it.

Did you say that you use these words when you have nothing to write about?

“Golden Sun!! I challenge you to a duel!”

It was winter.

Is this right?
