Chapter 432 – Waves

The result of safely matching the sum with Tarla. It fit pretty well.

Maybe I learned this and that, but isn’t it because the bass is Lindelheit’s vision?

Well, on the other hand, it seemed difficult to get along with other people… Still, Tarla and the others have different roles, so this should be enough.

The crown prince, who came to his senses belatedly, begged for a seat, but was quiet after receiving Tarla’s cold stare.

I didn’t ask, but I can guess what their relationship was like.

It is clear that he attacked Tarla one day and demanded food, clothing, and shelter, and was beaten from behind. The great warrior who followed me was also trembling.

After being treated so frighteningly, they sneak a spoon in to ask you to come back and put them in?

It’s not usually knocky. Or just as desperate.

Since he didn’t have the taste of constantly watching a boy trembling with his tail curled up, he decided to get some help from the crown prince.

As long as the power of Auror users or intermediate level wizards or higher is limited, they will follow us and assist us.

We will fight in the middle of enemy lines, but wouldn’t it be nice if there were even a little more allies?

After all the preparations were done, I took a day off to manage my condition.

Finally, the day of the conclusion came.

“After… Please let me eat the evil spirits raw…”

“Excuse me. Husband? No matter how much I think it’s hard to hear that…”

“Oh, I don’t know! Do it! It’s okay to go comfortably once in a while!”

“Even if you say so…”

Solari smiled embarrassingly at me, but soon began tickling me with her tail stretched out as if raising my face.

Fluffy and soft to the touch. The body temperature was just right, and the smell of a well-dried blanket… A fragrance commonly referred to as the smell of sunlight fills the nose.

Solari seems to have noticed at this point, but… Yes! Actually, this was my goal from the beginning… !

What difference does that make?! This tail is mine! It means I can do whatever I want!

“Haha!”

While hugging her wagging tail, rubbing her face and stroking her with her hands.

She was in the middle of healing to the fullest before the battle.

“Your light. Anyway, aren’t you being too soft on your brother?”
“To… But I like it so much, can I just leave it alone?”
“It’s not possible. We have to fight right now, and letting it loose like this could lead to a big mistake.”
“My daughter. Can I be honest with you?”
“Since I don’t have a tail, I can’t feel anything, so seeing you focusing on your tail like that makes me a little jealous.”

Solari was at a loss for words at Helena’s overly candid remark. But soon after, she continued her words with an aura of willful saintliness.

“No one else has what you have, and you do not have what someone else has. You must know how to appreciate what is given to you, my child.”
“I’m jealous.”
“… If you ask Clara, there will be a way.”
“Thank you, Lord.”

Even today, it was a while to listen to the conversation between the god and the saintess with one ear, let it flow through the other, and wag her tail.

Seeing Tarla, who was just as prepared, walk from afar, he immediately stood up and brushed off her clothes.

I don’t know if it’s in front of my girls, but I’m a little shy in front of others.

Tarla, who had come right in front of me, greeted her in this direction.

“Did you sleep well? Shouldn’t you tell her that the dragonfly was so ferocious that she couldn’t do her best?”

“Don’t worry. Because I feel like I can defeat anything now.”

“It is violent. Well, it’s good to be motivated, but…”

Having said that, Tarla swallowed her saliva with a determined expression. Then she stretched out her trembling hand toward me.

“Uh… ?”

Was it because there was no hostility? Or is it because she has the same face as Carla? As I unwittingly gave her face, a thin finger touched the corner of her mouth.

“Three, I have to wash my face. What if you carelessly wear something like this on your face?”

“Uh, um. Thank you… ?”

The answer that flowed blankly at her unexpected kindness. Tarla smiled at her with a somewhat proud look on her face, brushing the hairs in her hand before stopping.

“Hair… ? Why is this on your mouth?”

Tarla muttered to herself. But she shook her head with a firm expression.

“It can’t be. Yandel is me… Huh. It won’t be.”

Tarla muttered something to herself. She suddenly wondered if she had gone mad, but she returned to her original form after a while.

I guess it was her kind of self-suggestion. It is understandable because each person has a different way of controlling the mind before a big event.

Even if it’s just me right now, I’ll exhale aloud, or I’ll twitch and loosen her knuckles, etc. Because I have my own set tension control routine.

Tarla’s self-talk must have been roughly like that.

While she nodded her head inwardly and tried to suppress the anticipation of trying out the new dagger in real combat.

Finally, the crown prince brought an elite warrior.

“Duke Lindelheit! Thank you for giving me a chance to regain my honor!”

“It’s done. Do your job well.”

“Of course! Leave the little guys alone! Absolutely that witch… Hmmm. Crazy year… Hehe. Anyway, I will keep the ceremony until the end!”

“Okay. I’ll leave a few people here too, so don’t be too scared. … I’m just saying, just in case, you can’t do useless things just because the subjugation of the bent leisure is over?”

“What the hell are you looking at me for! It will never happen!”

“I meant the back of Tarla’s head, not mine.”

“… Is it really not possible?”

“I already made that promise. Even if I don’t do it myself, I can’t break a promise.”

“Okay. I want to pass that on to Obama. I received support from the empire, but not from the Duke of Lindelheit, so what the heck do you mean by saying that I don’t have to respond to the request for help…”

“Tell me honestly. Do you actually want to inherit the throne soon? So, by gently provoking me like this, you want me to bring down King Krasius instead?”

“Absolutely not. No one will recognize you if you ascend to the throne like that in the first place, so you will have to suffer dozens of challenges a day.”

“I don’t think my skills are bad…”

I’ve never seen them fight in real life, but I guess they’re on the edge of the user to see the momentum they feel.

He looks like he’s in his early 30s, so he was an aura expert before he was 40… You will be able to join the ranks of the great warriors.

That would be enough to say that he is a very talented warrior. Although at our party, it feels like we skipped the entrance cut with a chin-up.

“Well, that’s none of my business. Because it’s something you have to figure out.”

“Of course! Rather, if we fight properly in this battle…”

“Okay. I’ll count it as repaying Krasius’ big debt to me.”

“Not everything.”

“No way. You must have a conscience. It’s true that they fight against evil spirits, but they didn’t protrude from the main body, and they brought only one stationed elite unit.”

“Come to think of it, that sounds right. Still, I’m glad I can at least a little repay the stigma.”

The crown prince nodded his head with the eyes of the yellow beast shining.

This kind of reaction in my early 30’s. However, in a way, the current Crown Prince, who is crazy about battle and honor, and who is extremely pure, must be the true form of the beast race.

“… I’m honestly a little surprised. It upsets me that Krasius didn’t send support the other day, but it’s understandable.”

I had to feel the strength of the evil spirit too suddenly, and the evil spirit descended too quickly.

Putting the safety of Krasius first would be infuriating to those who had been cheated on by promises, but if you think a little differently, isn’t it perfectly natural?

At those words, the Crown Prince smiled bitterly and continued.

“In the Levantine Empire, lineage, in Alfheim, the choice of the gods, and in Nidavalir, where skills as artisans and warriors lead to legitimacy, in Krasius, strength and honor lead to legitimacy. Do you know the reason, Duke?”

“Well. The customs of those who were once nomads? Did you need strength to convince the strong instincts unique to the beast race? Or, although they are all the same beastmen, if you look closely, they may have needed a common banner to embrace those who are divided into various clans and are at odds with each other.”

“Hmm! That’s all right. But the biggest reason is that it is a promise.”

“Promise?”

“Exactly. A man so strong and honorable will surely repay our loyalty. When external enemies attack, we will fight together, and the wicked inside will be punished resolutely. That will keep us safe… Because the same promise runs through society.”

“For a moment. Doesn’t that matter even if it’s not about power and honor?”

“Haha! That’s right! In fact, even if you put lineage, god’s choice, and excellent talent instead, it’s roughly correct! But I think there must be a reason why it must be power and honor.”

“It’s kind of interesting. What is it?”

“Because most of Krasius do not believe in God.”

“… Ah.”

The moment I heard that, I immediately understood.

Krasius is… Beasts are the descendants of those who never became gods. With a few exceptions, it is said that they feel an instinctive reluctance to bow down to other gods.

However, religion on the Eurelia continent has a different level of importance than modern religion.

It’s not easy, but it’s a world where individuals can acquire mighty power anyway. And those who have strong power want to use that power.

Social norms such as not killing people in front of strong men, not stealing things, and not forcibly committing crimes on others lose their meaning.

The good ones appear there.

A rule set forth by a real God himself, not an unknown person who should be trampled upon if stepped on.

An environment in which those who persecute the innocent have no choice but to be sanctioned, no matter how strong they are, is completed.

The god who took the lead and enforced the rules was Solari. It’s not that I gained the reputation of being a righteous light for nothing.

In fact, the Church of Light was like a warlock or a criminal organization even before the evil spirits and the cults. Criminals have specialized in harassing those who abuse their helpless powers.

Is there a country where religion has not settled down in an era where morality is called out in the name of God? Isn’t it a perfect environment for all kinds of crazy people to come and bet on shit?

That’s why the prisoners wanted someone to take the place of God.

“I don’t believe in gods, but I needed someone who would act like a god. So we want superhumans.”

“Superman…”

“Exactly. The culture of usurping the throne through a duel is only one part of it. In essence, stronger than anyone else, and above all, a noble person. That’s why you can trust and entrust everything to yourself. Beast people want superhumans like that, and I think sometimes they want to become superhumans themselves.”

“I see.”

“Exactly. Obama also won’t think much different. However, the problem was that he wanted to become Krasiusman’s superhuman.”

Having said that, the Crown Prince straightened his posture and looked straight ahead. Then carefully open your mouth.

“I think Duke Lindelheit will be such a superhuman.”

“What? I’m not a beastman, and I’m not interested in being a king… After all, running a country is not an easy task.”

“Haha! Don’t worry about that part. In any case, the half-man, half-dragon is included in the beast race in a big way, and the administration of the country can be left to professional administrators. In the first place, those who knew nothing but fighting rose to the throne, so how could the country have been maintained until now? It’s because there is someone else who sees the practice.”

“Huh…”

“Even Alfheim, who has strong divine influence, does not directly run the country. The same goes for Krasius. The king… Superman is just a symbol. It is a symbol of fear that someone will come and beat you up if you do nonsense.”

Having said that, the crown prince scratched the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed attitude and looked away.

“What? In the end, isn’t this also meaningful when the duke defeats all evil spirits and becomes a superhuman recognized by everyone, and has the heart to take care of Krasius after that?”

“For now, I’m not going to do that?”

“Even if you don’t have it now, it might change someday. So please consider that you want to look good in advance. At least I don’t want to be considered a cowardly traitor.”

“… Okay. Seeing you fight this time.”

“If you don’t, take a good look. Whether or not we are worthy of the duke’s recognition.”

The crown prince smiled ferociously, reminiscent of a beast.

And not long after, we entered the curved realm of leisure.
