276 – End of the Year
Guests of the Empire. No, three days had passed since the future John Nassen daughters-in-law arrived.
To summarize the events that took place in the meantime, the routine check of the daughters-in-law.
When the new year begins, you have to compete for the first engagement spot in earnest.
For a fair competition and a fair battle, everyone’s confirmation was essential.
“Mmm. The current routine is too lax. So, let alone overload, it will understimulate.”
“Ah… Is that so? Then what is your father’s will?”
“You may need to increase the number of sets or increase the weight.”
“Okay. Me, but… Couldn’t you please speak comfortably?”
At the request of the women, Baron John Nassen shook his head at first.
If you let go, you might become a bit sharp because you focus too much on the routine.
In case something like that happens, we are doing our best to prevent it from happening.
However, the baron’s will was overpowered by the baroness this time as well.
I mean well, but can’t I always do that to my daughter-in-law?
Her opinion is that it’s okay to become friends now.
After persuasion, Baron John Nassen decided to follow his wife’s will.
Of course, I’m not comfortable talking right away, and I’m saying I’ll do it gradually.
“Come to think of it, the priests of the church should also take a look. If you say it’s a pilgrimage and you don’t get anything on the pilgrimage, there’s nothing more sad than that.”
He said he wanted to step up and check and judge again.
After saying that, Baron John Nassen stood directly in front of the priests of the church.
Thanks to that, the priests were literally in a state of super-tension.
Like last time, I thought the people of Baron John Nassen would look after it.
For them, the baron, like a mountain, appeared directly.
“Mmm. It looks better than last vacation.”
This is not John Nassen who simply pursues strength.
The road to strength, the effort put into the process is also important.
And in terms of effort, the priests passed.
“If we continue like now, someday you will be able to follow us.”
That was a huge statement. It was an evaluation that many people on the Empire side hadn’t heard.
The saintess was overjoyed that such a review had been given to the priests of the church.
“Thank you, Father! Now, while all of my brothers and sisters are on the path of self-mortification without worry, they know that their efforts were not in vain and do not lose faith!”
“Obvious words. Those who make due effort and reap the fruits of that effort never go astray. Even if I lose, I will come back to my seat and move on again.”
The priests nodded eagerly at the baron’s answer.
Some even tried hard to write it down in their notebooks.
“Saint. If not, our brothers and sisters will leave the prescribed penance.”
“Where are you going?”
“Okay. I plan to probably head south and go around there a bit, then head east.”
You mean to go to the eastern plains where the nomadic tribes are?
Hagi, because the people there believe in folk beliefs, not the religion of the church here.
From Kyle’s point of view, it was assumed that the destination of the priests would be there.
However, the answer that followed was farther and wider than he expected.
“And if possible, I would like to go further.”
“If you say farther.”
“Isn’t there a new world somewhere beyond the east? It is still far and rugged, so no one dared to go there, but now I don’t think so.”
It was something I could never have imagined because of the hard work when my body was heavy and weak.
However, the moment when the body becomes lighter and stronger, and the hardship of the body becomes just ‘something like that’.
They were the priests who were finally able to practice true pilgrimage and asceticism.
The priests memorized prayers saying that they would look forward to seeing them again someday.
Soon they left Baron John Nassen and went their own way.
No one knows when it will return. Maybe, that might be the last look.
You can go to a place no one has reached and spread the word of God there.
“It will work.”
A saintess who continues to wave at the priests.
Kyle approached her and carefully held her hand.
“Yes. Those brothers and sisters will do just fine. You have no choice but to do that.”
“If that’s what the saintess believes, then that’s probably it.”
“It’s not just faith. Have they been recognized by someone? Brother Kyle’s father. Father. He was told he could make it. So, I believe unconditionally.”
Kyle nodded his head in agreement with the saintess’ words.
And now I thought as I looked at the priests of the church who had disappeared over the horizon.
How far can they go? Where will i stop
Looking at the current situation, no matter how hard we go, we will go as far as the land of the nomadic tribes.
Should I stop there and return, or would I go beyond?
‘I heard that there is a new world behind that wide plain in the east.’
Across the sea, the new continent was a world where magic and technology were in harmony.
And the huge plain, beyond that, was a place where martial arts, not magic, existed.
Martial Arts, an encounter with that world. Well, I was really looking forward to it.
I don’t think there’s going to be anything interesting here anymore.
Across the sea is so far away that I don’t really want to go.
I was quite interested in the world that came out a little bit to the east.
“Kyle!!”
Kyle returned to John Nassen’s castle after welcoming the priests.
As soon as he saw him, Leah suddenly hugged him.
Thanks to that, Kyle had to bounce around in his arms again, saying ‘keuk’.
“That, Nu. Sister. Please. If you don’t do this….”
On the outside, it seems that she has a very slender body.
But in reality, it is super-compressed, 100% pure fighting muscle.
If Baron John Nassen or Lear is a type of muscle that spurts outward.
The Baroness and Leah could say it was a condensed form inward.
Anyone would react like that if they got caught between those muscles.
No, if it was someone else, I might have suffocated or exploded long ago.
“Oh, sorry! Kyle! But I’m so glad! You should have called me when you got home!”
After hastily putting Kyle down, Leah greets her ladies.
We’ve seen each other a few times before, but now she’s not just her brother’s girlfriend.
Aren’t they future daughter-in-law and future family?
“This is what my sister said, the youngest.”
Lear had already made everyone feel intimidated by his strong and steadfast appearance in the past.
But looking at it now, a much bigger dust storm stands out than before.
Anyway, after swimming in the ice sea for three days, it seemed that the pump was working properly.
“I should have told this brother and sister right away when I got home. What are you doing with even the jesus? This older brother is really sad.”
“Oh, that’s it! Well, Kyle, she did it because she didn’t want to disturb the two of you! No matter how they say that anything that gets in the way during training is absolutely forbidden….”
Tisha, who has been calmly watching the situation, sneaks out in front of Kyle.
Did you say that a woman listens to a man? She was already measuring the angle.
Thanks to that, Elgar, who was looking at the situation, joined in and defended Kyle.
“Oh, what is it? My sister-in-law, are you already siding with your husband?!”
“Yes? Oh Not that! I just….”
“Is this a joke, a joke? In case Kyle gets in our way, she knows she does.”
It was Leah who patted Tisha and Elgar on the back and smiled brightly.
Meanwhile, the saintess carefully separated her lips as she approached Lear and Leah.
“I heard the news, you two. Father. So, I am going to go across the sea to a new world on behalf of Baron John Nassen.”
“Yes. Mr. Jesu. My father has business in Jedo.”
A smile was drawn on the saintess’ lips at the words “Jesu of Lear.”
I wonder if that word was so good. Leah giggles as she keeps smiling.
“Oh, my sister-in-law. It must be in very good shape.”
“Ah… Yes. So good. To have a family like this… So good.”
“Is that so? Good luck in the future. Also, take care of our Kyle.”
“I’m rather worried that I won’t harm them.”
Then Lear and Leah shook their heads, saying ‘No, Mr. Jesu’ and ‘No, sister-in-law’, respectively.
If it’s you, obviously. You guys will definitely be a very precious gift to Kyle.
Please, our maknae, please let me live by your side.
“You are the youngest.”
“Yes, bro.”
“I know everyone here is Jesu. How should I call you?”
“Yes? Uh, I don’t quite understand what you mean, brother?”
Are you asking because you don’t know the name? No. I have already met several times.
There is no way that Lear doesn’t know the names of Tisha and Elgar. She even knows the name of her princess.
They say they don’t know the name of the saintess, but what’s the problem?
“Kyle is also true. Oh, that’s what you said. Who is the first Jesu, and who is the second Jesu? Like this.”
“… Ah.”
That was it. Yeah, that was it Kyle nodded her head and said, ‘Hmm.’
Women who were quiet because the competition had not yet begun in earnest.
However, the first and second stories that came out of Leah’s mouth just changed her eyes.
‘It looks rough. I don’t know if I can’t be the first, but let’s never be the last.’
First of all, Elgar and the princess are women who have a special pride for themselves.
Also, Tisha and the saintess are said to be kind-hearted, but they definitely don’t have low self-esteem.
It has not been decided yet, so there is nothing to worry about right now.
Seeing that a strange current was already flowing, it didn’t seem like a calm competition.
“Looks like you have a long way to go, Kyle.”
It was Kyle who groaned at Leah’s factual violence and backed off.
“Kyle. You know that My father going to the New Year’s celebration in Jedo.”
“Yes. I heard.”
“My older brother and I will go together at that time. I’m going to go and say hello properly, then go down south and go across the sea for a while. Go ahead and get what you asked for.”
“….”
Did you ask for it or did you threaten it?
From the perspective of the people over there, it must have been the latter.
Kyle hoped that those who left by boat would arrive quickly.
At least she can’t make exercise equipment, but she has to show that she has a plan in place.
