Post-war recovery (1)
Quarreung!
It was very spectacular to see the huge audience hall completely collapse.
No, I liked the fact that a mixture of all sorts of magic and architectural engineering smashed into an audience room that wouldn’t collapse even with a pouring bombardment with my own hands.
The fact that a single human broke the space designed to withstand the army, not just one human.
It became a pleasure and wrapped around his body.
“Whoa, what? You will figure it out.”
Of course, the amount of money required to rebuild such an audience would be huge, but that was not what I knew.
The Empire does not run out of money, and since he also captured Beirn Hopper, the vast amount of money he had will also be returned to the Empire.
If that was the case, there would be no shortage of rebuilding the destroyed audience room.
“… … Hayes. right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. You are fine.”
“… … Ha, that’s really absurd. Are you dealing with the being who has thrown the Empire into chaos alone?”
“Well, it wasn’t that strong.”
In one corner of the ruined audience hall, Emeres appeared.
Although messed up with dust, her beauty did not die in the slightest.
In the first place, she was also a pretty strong warrior and wizard, so it was natural.
In addition, she knew exactly where she was hiding, so I adjusted it so that the collapse would not be too big, but if it wasn’t for her abilities, she would have died.
“… … You are the only person in the world who can give such a critique of Bayern Hopper.”
“How many more will there be?”
“… … I’m talking about your age group.”
“Aha.”
Sure, Bayern Hopper was strong.
You’re one step behind Depart Kane or Lastina, but just because you’re one step ahead of them doesn’t mean you can’t be called a weakling.
‘Perhaps if the Demon King properly stood on the side of the hopper… … i would have lost He would have died unconditionally.’
The strange thing here is that even though Beirn Hopper is the Demon King’s contract, the Demon King has lost his contract.
It’s also true that it’s even more confusing as it’s clearly meant for me.
‘Well, there is no need to say.’
The Demon King looked after me.
As soon as he hears that, a bunch of Inquisitors may come pouring out of the Holy Empire.
Knowing that, I couldn’t tell everything.
“Anyway, I think the work is done, can I go back?”
“… … There must still be remnants of the outside.”
“What is that… … It’s not my job, is it?”
“under… … haha yes You’re right. It’s my business, not yours. Okay. Come back.”
“May the empire be in infinite glory.”
“… … You’re very good at empty words.”
What caught my eye after leaving the seat waving to Emeres, who looked at me like it was ridiculous,
“Heise-kun.”
“Ah, Princess Laila. long time no see.”
It was Princess Laila.
Looking at his face of surprise and astonishment, he seemed to know a little bit about what I had done.
“Are you going back?”
“Yeah, what. I think I’ve done everything I have to do, since I’ve also protected His Majesty the Emperor.”
“… … Ha, that’s right. No, it’s okay to say you’ve done more than you’re supposed to. Still, please help me a little more.”
He alone beat the being who had thrown the empire into chaos.
There’s nothing more to be done than that.
At least in this empire, there was no one who could hold on to me today.
“How are the sisters?”
“… … They’re all dead. It was because of the two sisters that the imperial palace was opened in the first place.”
“That’s a bad thing.”
“Iknow, right. What was so disappointing that he had teamed up with an organization like the Destruction Church?”
“Greed is an infinite law, so it is unavoidable.”
The 1st and 2nd princesses seemed to have died during the civil war.
Well, it didn’t really matter because it wasn’t mine.
“Are you sad?”
However, the blood of Princess Laila may be different, so I asked her worriedly.
“it’s okay. They are the ones who tried to kill me anyway, what?”
“Aha.”
Cool.
I wanted to give a thumbs up to Laila, who didn’t really care even though her sister had died, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Are you going?”
“Yeah, go back and get some rest… … I have to prepare for the next one.”
Next ready.
At that, Princess Laila asked with a frown on her face.
“Are you going somewhere else?”
“Perhaps.”
“… … Also. Will you come back though?”
“Perhaps.”
“Can’t you say anything other than maybe?”
“… … maybe?”
“Puff. Come back safely. Because I have neither reason nor ability to stop Heize-kun.”
I was surprised that I might leave for another country, but Princess Laila smiled and let me go.
After letting her go, he walked out and said a word to her.
“I will still stay for a while.”
“… … In the meantime, I will have to work hard.”
“What effort?”
“I have. such an effort.”
“… … Yes, what are you doing?”
I felt something cool, but I nodded my head and went outside because I had to say something to someone who said I was working hard.
And I could see Ren there.
“You stopped me.”
“I just think I should have done that.”
“Thank you. Instead of protecting His Majesty, I sincerely thank you for stopping me from harming him.”
“… … It wasn’t something I was hoping for.”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“… … Yes?”
I’m young.
Seeing Rastina and Ren having a conversation while lying on the floor in a mess, they didn’t feel like interfering, so they secretly slipped sideways and sneaked out of the palace as if escaping.
“Heize!”
“… … Elena?”
In the meantime, the most surprising thing was Elena who ran to me and hugged me as soon as I left the palace.
Elena said with a bashful smile when I looked at her in amazement at the fact that she was here, who should have been in the elf town.
“I came to see you.”
“… … Are you here alone?”
“No, we all came together. Now I am not alone.”
Why are you stroking your stomach while saying that?
The word “not alone” must mean that she embraced the elves as she assumed the post of village chief.
That’s why I felt the opposite of Elena’s smiling and stroking her stomach, but seeing Elena’s bashful smile immediately burst into laughter.
“Then shall we go back?”
“yes!”
Elena has returned after a long time, and the other elves will help clean up the surroundings, so we just need to rest.
Returning to the academy with that thought in mind, I had to face multiple pairs of eyes staring at me.
“Heize!”
“Hey hey!”
“Heize?”
“Heize!!”
… … what is this, i’m scared
With the figure of a female jin who rolls her eyes and rushes.
Whoa!
Feeling the power of Elena, who somehow gave me strength, I felt that something was wrong, but I had to be crushed by the women who rushed to me.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it felt like being crushed by flowers, but-
“… … suffocating.”
It wasn’t a good thing for me to be put under a group of close to ten great men.
Thus, the civil war with the Church of Destruction, which plunged the Altair Empire into chaos, was over.
* * *
After the civil war, the Altair Empire was in great disarray, but the rebuilding was done quickly thanks to the destruction of the Church of Destruction and the seizure of the Hopper family’s vast assets.
Of course, it takes time, but it is not for nothing that money can buy time.
A huge amount of money was pouring in, and they were busy repairing the collapsed areas and treating the injured all morning and night, but there was little relief on the faces of the people.
– Still, I’m glad your Majesty the Emperor is fine.
– It’s thanks to the warrior.
– What if His Majesty the Emperor… … Just thinking about it makes my heart drop.
People were relieved that the emperor was fine and that a new hero was born.
An apostle of the gods who defeated the evil warlock Beirn Hopper.
Of course, he killed him with his fists, not the holy sword, but such trivial things were not known even to people.
Anyway, when people forget the pain caused by civil war.
“Haha, Heize! You have lost a lot!”
“… … If you’ve lost a lot, please let me rest.”
“I can’t. Let me play the role of a sharpening stone for the hero who will save the world!”
“… … Please, let’s get some sleep. Get some sleep!”
At the academy, Hayes was plagued by Depart Kane.
Controlled by Beirn Hopper during the Civil War, he wandered around the academy in a pretty good shape.
In addition, he had a deep appreciation for Heize and Ren, who stopped him, so he thought that it would be rewarding to work hard to strengthen them.
“Ren went to see Lastina, didn’t she? So you have to train yourself.”
“… … Then I will dry it.”
However, Ren was not at the academy because he had a pretty positive relationship with Lastina.
So, naturally, Depart Kane’s target became Heize, and Heize regretted that he could not sever the relationship between the two during the civil war.
“Huh… … flaw… … I will die.”
After the civil war, his broken body was recovering quickly, but Depart Kane’s training was too tight to digest with such a broken body.
I even said it to the point that I almost vomited.
But Departe Kane did a superb cut, and Hayes had to leave the weight room exhausted.
“Hey.”
“Oh, So-Young Cheon.”
“… … Just call me Soyoung.”
“Yes, Soyoung-ah.”
“It’s so comfortable!”
In front of such Heize, Soyoung Cheon appeared.
Dressed in the same black uniform, she was very beautiful, but the way she screamed was the image of that ageless girl.
Anyway, that wasn’t the point.
“What happen?”
“… … He said he would leave.”
“Yes, I think so.”
Heize nodded to her who came to know that Heize was leaving.
There is no reason to hide it, and Cheon So-young’s help is also needed to reach the destination he is leaving.
“Isn’t it an empire?”
“… … Yes, I want to meet Emperor Wu.”
“Yeah, I thought it would.”
Emperor of the Mu Empire.
In order to meet him, Heize decided to hold on to a strong string named Cheon So-young.
Cheon So-young also nodded her head coolly as if she knew Heize’s thoughts, and then opened her mouth.
“I will help you.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“I’ll help you meet your father too.”
“… … If you do that, it will be great.”
The only way to meet the Emperor Wu is to get stronger with his help.
If his daughter Cheon So-young helps, it will be easier to get help.
Cheon So-young smiled and said to Heize, who was nodding her head with a bewildered face.
“You should go with me instead.”
“… … Yes?”
“It felt like a meeting. Understand?”
“… … Yes?”
While thinking that something is going wrong, Heize suddenly nodded her head.
It was the moment when Heize’s departure to the Empire of the Empire was just around the corner.
