Chapter 207 – 206. Post-Processing (1)

Post processing.

The process of Liz tearing the official residence where the Duke of Pantalone is staying into two, and cleaning up the smashed and torn human bodies here and there.

And…

“Ugh, wow?!”

“Okay, just be quiet inside, you scum. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

Even my sister came here.

All the bastards and nobles who plotted to submerge me are stored inside the Dark Young. It will not be digested in the stomachs of the dark spirits, which are literally cosmic horror itself, and they will see terrible things within them and suffer inside them until the trial is carried out.

And I saw Liz hugging my father-in-law tightly and crying quietly, and I just stayed quietly next to him.

Likewise, Gawain and Arash in front of me.

And even Adramelech next to Arash.

To be honest, even if Liz were to leave here now, I wouldn’t blame her.

Of course not.

It’s really cruel to force her to make that choice, to leave her and be with me when her own family is in danger.

If it were me, I would have tried to stay by her father’s side without hesitation.

But even for a moment.

He seemed to have stopped crying soon, taking the handkerchief I gave him and wiping his eyes.

After taking a deep breath for a moment, he bowed his head to everyone and said.

“…I’m sorry for showing you my ugly side, everyone.”

“To say you’re ugly doesn’t mean you did a good job of dragging yourself here from a place where there are many things even uglier than you.”

“…I didn’t want to show it like this in the first place.”

“So, I’ll deal with it later when everything is taken care of?”

“That…”

“It’s okay. We need to get rid of those damn bastards quickly, it’s no good if we keep holding them in. Anyway, it was better to pop the bottle early like this. They say we have to start over from the beginning, but it’s much better than having something like this happen after everything is sorted out someday. Better.”

Exploding a bottle like this by hitting the board in a place where there is nothing is different from exploding a bottle when everything is upright.

If you have to start over from scratch, it’s better to destroy everything and start over.

“…I guess I’ll have to check on the remaining personnel. Hehe.”

I understand that feeling is full of worry. But it had to happen at some point, and above all, now is the time to gather the will to fight again.

The news that such an uproar had occurred in the rear would have spread immediately, and it couldn’t be hidden for long.

And his eyes turn to Gawain.

“Gawain, Sir Gawain… Ha, this is true. It’s been a while since I crossed swords with your brothers and sisters.”

“…I’m sorry. I-“

“You have nothing to be sorry about. They are just carrying out orders given by the country, and you too… Are probably just returning from carrying out orders given by the country.”

To be honest, the question of whether it is right or wrong to reveal Gawain’s identity here is that he said he would reveal himself. Not only does he have no intention of hiding forever, but since his family is already here in Phrygia, Gawain must also show up.

My father-in-law also looks at Gawain, who was Liz and my colleague, with a mixed expression.

“…Can you help me?”

“Just once.”

“…”

“I want to talk to those kids.”

In some ways, this may sound bad.

The situation of having that conversation, and not knowing how Gawain will turn around after the conversation. In such a situation, can you trust Gawain or not? It was natural to have questions about that, and despite that, my father-in-law looked at me and nodded.

“Don’t disappoint your comrades.”

“…You mean me?”

“Who do you think has the greatest decision-making power and influence here in the first place? After all this chaos.”

“I didn’t put it out because I wanted to, so why bother?”

It would be nice if I could get away without having to pay. Of course, the problem is that I exploded a bottle that was beyond my imagination.

“…In the first place, what kind of suspicion do these people have against someone who has no intention of seizing power?”

“…I’m sorry.”

They were the ones I didn’t expect from me in the first place, and I could have put up with the anger as long as they didn’t start a fight, but many of them, including Paris, have already started a fight with me. And now it has been completely destroyed here.

“God did something outright… Above all, there’s a lot to deal with right now, isn’t there?”

Wow-

“Khaak?!”

And he wakes up Paris, who had passed out.

It’s been a long time since I called Hector here, and soon, Hector, the Duke of Scherwitz, Priam Scherwitz, and Hector appear, and when Hector looks at Duke Pantalone, he becomes thoughtful and asks.

“…Your Excellency Duke Pantalone, it’s okay-“

“Before you get into trouble, I think, Hector Scherwitz, you should pay for what your damned brother did? What do you think about this, Priam?”

“…”

It is truly a bizarre relationship.

Even though I thought about killing this bastard, there was only one reason I held back one more time.

“I will place the first condition.”

“Why are you saying this, Geumtaeyang?”

And when I bring up the story, Priam, who already has a harsh impression of me, points his finger at me. Should I kill this bug in an instant? I thought about it, so I tried shooting it, and it looked surprised.

Hector is holding back his father to protect him at all costs…

Tsk.

Compared to a truly great son, he is a shitty brother and father.

The fact that the eldest son has to clean up this shit, and the fact that he wants to somehow save this damned Abby and his little brother.

To be honest, you could kill him without even asking, but for the sake of immediate satisfaction, the goose that lays the golden egg…

…

No, the more I think about it, the worse it gets.

Does it make sense for me to keep getting goose eggs and not give up on the goose chicks who are treating me badly?

This bastard really needs to kneel down and bury his head in gratitude to his older brother.

And this old man should be forever grateful to his eldest son.

My youngest son and Abby are the top two, and I am holding back this anger because I want to recruit Hector, the only conscience of the Scherwitz family.

“I’m the one involved so I’ll tell you, you idiot. Shut up before I kill you all.”

“W-what!?”

There is no need to be polite anymore.

In the first place, if there is a traitor in the family, it is basic to destroy the three clans, so if there is a member of the family who engages in trolling, they can all be caught and punished. That’s what a justification is, and honestly, from my perspective, I don’t look very good on the whole family getting caught, but in the current situation, I can use it as a card to put pressure on them.

Even if it’s dirty, it’s a good tool for me to use.

“I’m going to tell you why I hold back even though I want to kill this bastard, so listen carefully.”

“…Say, Golden Sun.”

“Until this is over, I need you to work with me, bro.”

I look at Hector. Of course, there is one reason why I chose Hector.

“To be honest, other than my colleagues, there are few people who fight this well. So I need some.”

“That’s not…!!!”

Just-

And I don’t want to hear it any more, so I silence it and block its mouth. Not only do I not want to hear any more, but I have no interest whatsoever in the ugly desires and ambitions of this damned old man.

“I cast a special spell to tell you to shut your mouth. It’s because you’ll be mute for the rest of your life until I release you. Nothing you say means anything to me.”

“Clarke. Anyway, it’s one of the three dukes in this country-“

“…Father-in-law, respect and respect are mutual exchanges.”

“Isn’t shit interchangeable?”

“…Who did you hear that from?”

I don’t really talk to anyone except my people.

I look at Liz.

“Yes, I told you. Why?”

“It tastes good, Liz.”

“…”

“Hehe, right?”

Hey, why are you so elated?

And what? Why, what? Judging by the way she was looking straight at me, it seemed like Liz had finally regained her energy.

Just when I was finally relieved by that, my father-in-law dropped another bombshell on me.

“Anyway, I’ll give up my title after this incident, so I’m no longer a duke or anything. So wouldn’t it be a good idea to follow the etiquette and language of a nobleman?”

“No, what…”

And he, Priam Scherwitz, looked at him and smiled, no-

He was literally talking with a rotten smile.

“Try to do it on your own, Priam Scherwitz. In times like this, did you tell me to get my ass kicked?”

…

I am sorry. Please stop, really.

And when the elderly duke says what I just said, it makes me want to go down a hole.

“Wait a minute, His Excellency Duke Pantalone, what do you mean?!”

Hector is surprised and demands an explanation. After all, giving up the title of duke of a country is usually not a big deal. And that’s the same as giving up everything, including your noble title and title.

This guy is also tired.

I can understand that feeling.

If you were to name the shitty things that have happened at his house recently, there are countless.

Naturally, I will be exhausted. Her only son is the bastard, and her daughter, the pride of her family and the pride of Frisia, went on an expedition and returned in a coma, and the reincarnated person inhabits the bastard’s body and causes a riot.

Moreover, the country is like this, the burden is too heavy, and the god of this country has gone crazy and is trying to burn the entire country to the ground, just to kill me.

Well, judging by the way its mouth is gaping, it looks like it’s saying it’s running away.

Do you know that?

Letting go of everything is also courage.

I tried to do my best, but most of the cubs I saved came out and were sharpening their knives from behind to stab themselves.

Hey, even if it were me, wouldn’t I be so shitty that I would just kill them all and leave?

I love them too, even if Mars shows up and my bastards curse at me! He said, “I was going to kill all the bastards who tried to attack me before I stopped them.”

I felt a little relieved to see that there was a more manly man among the Olympian gods, so I kept him alive.

I will never trust something once betrayed again.

Therefore, the second condition is applied.

“Second, those who conspired to stab me. I inflict Geass on them.”

“Hey.”

“It’s a question of credibility, bro. It was just a paper contract to begin with, so who broke it? I told you that the [Price] Would be huge, right?”

“The contract itself is vague and vague. This is an unfair contract to begin with!”

“By borrowing the power of the devil, those with money received only 10 silver, and those without money received only 1 silver, and then they rebuilt the house and provided treatment. I wonder if there are people who can do that for the same price. I did it as a service to try to get along well, but first. “Who tore up the contract?”

“…Tsk-“

Of course they are the stupid poor people.

They attacked the person who saved their life because their pigtails were on fire, stabbed them with a knife, and tried to soak them.

“Do you think I’m going too far, Hector? I would consider it if there were people who could withstand even one stabbing of a knife in my body without screaming. But, if I stabbed myself with a knife, would they really be any more still?”

“…”

“Aren’t the worse ones the idiots who didn’t listen even though I told them not to break it, and turned what could have been a quiet contract into a devil’s contract?”

It’s really true that these guys are bad. Those bastards who stab others without hesitation just to save themselves are true bastards, and of course I didn’t kill a single one of them directly.

“How many of these people have I personally killed? I’m busy living, but I was dodging the can that was attacking me, and the bastards there exploded, so you’re not an idiot who’ll make it my fault, right?”

Please say no.

“That can’t be possible. It was just an accident. It was the worst, crazy accident that should have been prevented as best as we could.”

I’m glad.

It would have been really shitty if he had done that too.

And then Hector said to me:

“It was an accident, and of course it was a disaster that could not have been done by human power. It was a disaster that could not have been done, and no one knew that Mercurius would do such a thing.”

It’s called gaslighting.

But that doesn’t mean that doing something like that was a good thing.

“So?”

“…I will carry them all.”

“Oh, no way. I’m impressed! You didn’t think I was going to lose weight while saying, hehe,’ right?”

“Stop being sarcastic. Someone has to take responsibility anyway. At the very least, I had the responsibility to manage the things that come to you. So, I take responsibility for that. That’s it. Once you become clear about the trigger and the purpose… “Anyone from this territory would kill me without even blinking.”

Hehe.

It’s not completely stupid.

And he looked at me properly.

Of course, as long as there is an opportunity, a purpose, and a need, you can handle it as much as you want. The reason I don’t do that is because I covet Hector’s power, and of course I also value his sense of responsibility and ability.

“Now, let me give you some time to discuss it with your father first. Don’t even think about running away. If you do, those scary sheep will chase you. I’ve seen them up close, so I know, but it would be better for you to die to me. That’s it. “I can promise you one thing. And, I feel bad for you to handle it on your own. It’s too much to ask only your eldest son to carry the burden.”

“You-!”

“Duke Priam Scherwitz, make sure you pay the price too.”

“…!”

He looks at me with very twisted eyes.

Naturally, it looks like he still hasn’t come to his senses.

And at the sight of his father, Hector holds his eyebrows with an expression that makes him want to cry. I’m really having a hard time with my damn brother and Abby. I have no intention of making the terms of the contract that strict, and it doesn’t matter what I do as long as I keep them reasonably safe.

He is innocent, he did everything he could, and of course there is a limit to what he can do on his own.

I evacuated my family along with those who were not poisoned and came to help me, but there was nothing I could do about group madness.

Okay.

There is nothing more to do there or even sleep.

“You can’t pay the price on your own, can you?”

I break the silence and wait for his answer.

“…What kind of price are you talking about? What is the scope?”

“At least, shouldn’t I pay a satisfactory price? And if you let me know, you can bring it back? To put it simply, it’s a matter of [Sincerity]. Yes, [Sincerity]. With a lot of apologies, it will be at least useful. Shouldn’t you bring it?”

“…So, you mean something useful? Okay, let’s give you a [Gift] That you can look forward to.”

“…I’m telling you, I know that if you play a fucking trick, I won’t let you go.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure it doesn’t go against [Laws] And [Customs].”

Yes, if you really want to fight like this.

I almost feel sorry for Hector who is caught in the middle, but anyway, my liking for this Duke of Scherwitz is beyond zero and he has long since penetrated the inner core of the planet, and I don’t know how he will try to fuck me, but at least the Paris guy in front of me right now. Same thing.

“You too will have to pay, Paris.”

“You call me a price for looking at me!?”

But why are you so surprised?

“Shouldn’t you compensate me with what you have? [Value].”

“…You, you-!!! You took Liz away from me again…Khak!!”

Bah!!

“Oh, I’m sorry. Really, I thought you couldn’t take it anymore so I beat you up. If you don’t plan on soaking my man and paying the price of surviving, I’ll let you choose.”

Kwasik!!!

I put the great sword I took out just now into the ground again. It went through the floor of the building, creating a crack, and crashed right in front of Paris between his legs. Liz looked at Paris and said.

“If you refuse, you will die by my hands. This is Clark’s final mercy to you.”

“Elizabeth, this is not your business. Between Scherwitz and the Golden Sun-“

“Put it away, Hector.”

“…!”

“He’s my man, he’s going to be my husband. If the bastard who planned to drown him and turn me into a widow, a widow, refuses to pay, I’m going to sink this.”

“They say so. Choose.”

There is nothing to see in Liz’s fierce eyes as she takes out her knife and threatens to kill him if he doesn’t accept it. Here, you can see him barely holding back as he tries to say that women are not interfering in men’s affairs. To begin with, this Frisia is a country of (formerly) manly men, so it is taboo for a wife to interfere in her husband’s affairs…

There are exceptions everywhere.

Okay.

Of course, if there is an exception among them, it is Leeds.

Because she is the strongest knight in Frisia.

And that I am her husband.

“I’ll give it to you.”

“I do not need.”

“?”

And, I wanted to try this line.

To be honest, I don’t need whatever Paris gives me.

Why did you do this…

Yes, because it’s fun.

“Then, please prepare compensation before it is too late.”

“…You can look forward to it. Geumtaeyang, it will be very special.”

“…”

The way Liz looks at Priam Scherwitz is unusual. Hector is wary of her brutal murderous intent towards her own father, but it is not something that can be stopped by Hector’s wariness, and she has already become a disaster on the level of a natural disaster in her own way.

If it’s not me, it can be seen that she can’t stop her.

And at this moment.

Another person here.

“…Hey, Geumtaeyang, I didn’t do anything. Can I go?”

“…”

“What is it? I didn’t do any harm to you.”

“Quiet.”

Odyssey Ithaca.

To be honest, she didn’t do anything wrong to me.

Okay.

Not without it.

Because he did not participate in the dark conversations of nobles and was not swayed by madness. And she treated her family and troops very well, and at the same time, they were not particularly hostile towards me.

To be honest, he had a plan to recruit him, and judging by the way he is strangely good at ignoring things that are dangerous to him, at least he has an excellent ability to judge whether he is dangerous or not.

To be honest, what does this person have to do with me? I wonder if he would mediate the situation and then go to sleep.

To be honest, he did everything he could just to handle his power.

Okay.

So what should we do?

Hmm.

“Hey, are you interested in working as a contractor for a while?”

“Ah, I don’t like it. If I work under you, I’ll make you do a lot of work. Besides, if I live under a guy who fights with God and fights with God, I really don’t think even ten lives will be enough.”

“Oh, it’s nothing special. I just want you to clean up the rear. Please help me deal with the gangsters.”

“…Hey, did you hear me?”

Of course I heard it.

Okay.

“You heard. Yes, I just listened.”

“…Hey.”

“Well, didn’t you come to talk to me because you also have thoughts about me?”

“…Did I do that?”

Don’t avoid eye contact. It’s ugly.

No-

“Ithaca, I want to know more about it.”

“…No, wait!! Liz!!! I really didn’t do anything?!”

“…No, I need to listen. What Clark said and what his intentions were when he approached me, everything from one to ten. So don’t even think about running away. You’re not planning on running away from here when I’m here, are you?”

Liz has already caught her.

It’s impossible for me to escape from her without magic, much less her other knights.
