Post-war recovery (2)
“You are about to leave.”
“yes.”
“… … It’s a pity that I don’t have the attractive ability to hold onto you.”
“The professor is great enough.”
After half-determining to go to the Mu Empire.
I went to Professor Belmont to announce my departure.
He nodded his head as if he already knew I was going to leave, but regretted the fact that there was no justification for me to leave.
But there was no denying that he was a great person.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to live comfortably in the academy.”
“… … Are you going to the Mu Empire?”
“Yes, I thought that the only person who could be of help to me now was the Emperor.”
“Teaching to the emperor of an empire… … To be honest, I think it will be difficult… … But, well, you can do it.”
Emperor Tess.
As the Sun of the Empire, he is indolent and lax, but the strength he possesses is already being evaluated as being equal to or greater than that of the Demon King.
I was sure that he would be of great help to me, so I chose to go to Mu Empire.
“Goodbye.”
“yes.”
bang!
Before I could finish speaking, Professor Belmont banged the approval stamp on the leave of absence application in front of me! and took a picture
With a satisfied smile, Professor Belmont asked me one thing.
“Can you tell me in advance about saying goodbye to those who have been with you and who will take you with you?”
“It is not difficult. The kids I’ll take… … .”
And after hearing all the faces of those who will join the march to the Empire.
Professor Belmont nodded and let me go.
It was the moment when the journey to the Mu Empire was really near.
* * *
Ever since I submitted a leave of absence through Professor Belmont, I’ve been really busy.
“You must not play and eat while I am away.”
“is not it! Without me these days, the business won’t work!”
“Then I’m happy.”
First of all, it was the first meeting with Bell Might, who runs a lighter-centered business.
I have invested the most money, and since he is an important person, I have no choice but to pay more attention.
“Are you spending your money well?”
“The common people in the academy, the aristocrats. And then to the Andreas. Right?”
“Yes, please take care of me while I am away.”
Also, while I was away, the commoners and the aristocrats.
In addition to that, it was even more so because Bell Might has to help the Andrea family, which is a little wobbly with Shan Andrea’s recent rise to the head office.
Anyway, believing that Bell Might would take care of it, I nodded and patted his shoulder.
“I only trust you.”
“… … Okay, can I sell you your name instead?”
“Dig it to your heart’s content.”
“great. Then I will sell it properly.”
“… … Please refrain from selling it. Because I also have a face.”
“don’t worry.”
I was a little scared of the grinning Bell Might, but I had no choice but to find someone who was that capable and who was on my side.
Well, there’s no need to worry, he’ll take care of himself and grow his power by selling my name reasonably well.
“Then when do you leave?”
“I think I will be there soon. I have to tell the people around me that I’m leaving and go. People who go with me have something to prepare.”
“Um, have a good trip. The Mu Empire is a place I don’t know very well, so I can’t give you any advice.”
“it’s okay. It’s not that I’m going alone, I’m just going to the level of a national qualification, what? No matter how dangerous an empire may be, it is not dangerous enough to attack the representatives of other empires. Well, I have the confidence to win even if I attack.”
“… … You really are a guy.”
I felt the absurdity of Bell Might, but it was true.
I was confident that I would not lose no matter who came to the Empire.
‘Except for Tess.’
Of course, Tess, the owner of the Mu Empire, was out of the question.
He was a formidable being, and frankly, he was such a monster that even the Demon Lord might be able to subdue it alone.
Anyway, after thinking like that, I robbed my seat and got up.
“See you later.”
“Yeah, come and go.”
“yes.”
With the Bell Might behind me, waving my hand, I began to rush to meet and talk with others.
* * *
The person I came to see after Bell Might was Departe Kane.
“Yeah, I thought you were leaving soon.”
“I’m going to run away from the professor.”
“Hahaha, shame on you.”
“It’s half sincere.”
It’s true that I recovered quickly thanks to Depart Kane, who pounded my back with a huge hand, but considering that time was quite a hellish time for me, honestly, I chose to go to the Empire for that reason.
Of course, the biggest reason was to become stronger, but Depart Kane also had quite a bit of stake.
“Go well. I’m going to see Tess.”
“Have you ever met him?”
“When I was young, I used to go to visit him all the time because he thought he was a samurai practitioner.”
“But?”
“I was beaten.”
“ah… … .”
But even such Depart Kane was just a child in front of the Emperor Tess.
If you were a child, Depart Kane would have been raising the stock price in your 20s or 30s, but it would have been near impossible to win against Tess, who has existed for a long time.
In fact, it was a matter of course.
“I believe you will be different.”
“I think I would be the same.”
Right now, I’m only at the level where I can win against Depart Kane.
Still, it was a close win, not an overwhelming victory.
In other words, it would be nearly impossible to win the match against Tess if he didn’t win even that overwhelmingly.
“Anyway, have a good trip.”
“Yes, I have lost a lot of debt.”
“Heh heh, yes.”
Still, knowing how precious and cherished the things Depart Kane showed me, I smiled and said goodbye and left.
* * *
“… … So, would you like me to write a letter?”
“Yeah, it’s a little bit like going alone, isn’t it? Of course, now I am treated as a hero of the Empire, but there is a difference between what I am professed and what I think it is.”
“… … You will be the only one who asks the Emperor to write a letter to another empire.”
“If there are more than me, it’s a big deal. Isn’t it?”
“… … Ha, when did you grow up like this? Until recently, I was just a strong kid.”
“When I was my age, I grew up.”
After meeting with Depart Kane.
I headed straight to the Imperial Palace.
Apart from what I said proudly to Depart Kane, I have not yet received the emperor’s declaration as a representative of the Empire apart from being recognized throughout the Empire.
But knowing that the emperor would not reject my words, I responded calmly.
“You will.”
“… … have to do it And the benefits of having you as the representative of the Empire will surely be great for the Empire as well.”
“Because you are a warrior?”
“okay.”
Warrior.
Its name is very heavy and sacred.
The fact that the empire to which such a hero belongs is the Altair Empire, not the Holy Empire, can water the Holy Empire and further enhance the reputation of the Altair Empire.
of course-
“Lyla will make an announcement.”
“… … Why?”
“Because he’s my only heir now.”
“ah… … .”
The emperor did not quietly grant my request.
Princess Laila, who wants to spend time with her hot eyes these days.
If she directly delivers my personal letter to the Mu Empire, I’m sure there will be more contact with me than usual.
Then it seemed like a few more unsettling things could happen.
But as much as the emperor took a step back, I had to take a step back.
“It is.”
In addition, although it is difficult, Princess Laila is also on my side in the end.
In other words, the more she solidifies her support base, the better for me.
If I could get that with a few conversations with her, I should have welcomed her with open arms.
“So who are you going with?”
“The princess won’t take me.”
“… … ttt.”
After the obvious questions are lightly cut.
I meekly revealed the list I would take.
“I’ll take Natasha for now.”
“Hmm, that kid is definitely talented.”
“If I can take Ren-nim, I’ll take it too.”
“Yeah, Rastina would hate it.”
So far I don’t know.
Most of the personalities of the personnel I take to the Mu Empire were fixed.
“And we’re going to take Marlon as well.”
“… … Well? That kid is a little-”
“Are you hit?”
“Yes, I’m sorry, but the child’s limitations are clear. Are you taking me with you because you are a friend?”
But Marlon Haster was like an out-of-the-box thing.
It’s like a blue sunflower.
Even the Emperor would admit that Marlon Haster was clearly inferior to those I was going to take.
“You will do well.”
“Well, I can’t change your choices. If that’s all, you’re taking a lot of people from the Knights Department.”
“Yes, I can’t roll alone, so I try to roll together as much as possible.”
“… … It’s a bad taste, it’s a bad taste.”
Well, the more people who can suffer like me, the better for me.
When I was about to leave the audience after shrugging my shoulders toward the tongue-tied emperor.
“Can I recommend one more person?”
“The princess said no.”
“I have to look at the government instead of me anyway. What I would recommend is a guy named Rell Ernor.”
“Oh, I think that senior would be fine.”
New recommendations are always welcome!
Having accepted the new talent to join me, I nodded with satisfaction.
Reel Hernor.
His older brother, Karl Ernor, was already doing a great job as a knight, and his younger brother was no ordinary knight.
So I nodded my head with satisfaction, and added Lel Hernor’s name to the new list.
“But do you know Reel-senpai?”
“no.”
“… … Yes, I understand. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
After he prayed for the rest of Rel Ernor, who, without knowing himself, went to the Empire of Wu and lived a life of being rolled over by the Emperor of Wu.
I walked out of the audience.
* * *
After meeting with the emperor, I finished talking with Princess Laila and made my name known to the world in earnest.
Hero Hayes.
Having raised my reputation by making that name known to the world, I spurred my preparations for the Mu Empire.
“You will be bored if you go.”
“… … Be patient. I am busy too.”
Walpurgis pushed me with his feet and vomited regret.
Few people know her true form, so it’s inevitable.
“Did you play with Bella?”
“It’s a bit of a misnomer to call it 걘 I’m training like crazy these days.”
“ah.”
Bella did not participate in the Mu-Empire Tour.
It was because she was a wizard, and there was also the thought that she would not attract the Emperor’s attention.
But perhaps because of that, Bella was confined to the laboratory these days and spurred her training.
I felt sorry for her as I was the one who gave the cause, so I coughed and avoided my gaze and left Walpurgis’ room.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
“be careful. Tess, he’s crazy.”
“Yes I will.”
I left the room with Walpurgis’ worried advice and got into the wagon heading for the Mu Empire.
