053 Episode – The Return of the Arrogant
It was not the first time that Tigris had returned.
Tigris informed Rakan that he was the first to return for 10 years.
However, Tigris did not tell Rakan everything that had happened before his return.
It’s rarely told the future, except when it’s really necessary, such as when locating a chimera lab.
The reason was simple.
It was because Rakan lacked the means to protect his body.
Rota and Arphem’s clan are strong enough to kill Sword Master Bergang as well as Archmage Bastyan and Nadal of the 7th Circle.
If they set Rakan as a high-risk person, capture and torture Rakan, Rakan was forced to divulge all information.
Of course, in preparation for that, he gave the lover’s seat that he had given to Liniana and his disciples, but Tigris was still very concerned like a child left by the water.
Therefore, it was the first time to reveal everything that happened before the return.
Tigris didn’t stop until the car cooled down, and he delivered the history of regression he remembered.
The main contents conveyed were the case of the Chimera Laboratory under the Ecliptic and the Rebellion of Count Vinsmoke.
No other information was delivered.
To explain the devastation of the jungle that had not yet started or the war with the Gilion Kingdom, a huge amount of background knowledge was needed, so it was not enough to talk about it all day.
The reason Tigris announced today that he has returned is to help Rain Rover and Bergang understand the situation on the continent properly, not to explain the life story before the return.
After listening to Tigris’ explanation, Rain Rover and Bergang were silent for a moment.
They also seemed to need some time to think.
The first person to speak up was Rain Rover.
“…So you mean that Tigris has gone through the future? Can I understand this?”
“Yes. That’s right. Of course, the future as I know it will be very different from what I know of, since two major events were prevented in advance.”
“The Chimera Lab case was not meant to be this big, and the work of the Count Vinsmoke was not so small.”
“Yes. you’re right.”
Berggan took a sip of the cold tea and opened his mouth.
“I’m talking now, but if I had brought up this story a month ago… no, two weeks ago, I would have thought that Sir Tigris was a manipulative phrase to hide that you were a dragon. Because, according to ancient documents, dragons sometimes hid their abilities and lived with humans.”
“But the dragon never appeared until just before the world was destroyed. Except for the gold dragon ‘Aurome’, which is sealed in Mount Dracorequiem.”
Rain Rover and Bergang were very surprised.
The information that the Gold Dragon was sealed in Mount Dracorequiem was only known to very few people with Level 0 security access.
“Did you know that too? Wait a minute, then…”
“Yes. you’re right. Arphem awakened the sealed gold dragon, turned it into a chimera, and manipulated it. As a result, the Imperial Palace report was shattered, and the holy relics and artifacts contained in it were destroyed. If I had to explain it all, Guinea……”
Tigris took out 10 red and 15 blue notebooks from his briefcase.
In the red notebook, ‘Regression’ was written, and in the blue notebook, ‘The Directory’.
“I think you should read the regression I wrote.”
Tigris wrote the ‘regression log’ by slowly retrieving his memories from the time he returned.
No matter how big or small it was, he wrote down everything he remembered.
From small things such as a duel with Morita, who was a swordsmanship instructor at the Imperial University at the time, Tigris becoming a three-star knight at a young age of 20, and Rakan discovering the sacred relic of his lover in a rank battle and being imprisoned in the ordeal of the constellation. start off
Count Vinsmoke’s rebellion, the declaration of war in the Kingdom of Gillion, the devastation of the jungle, the death of the Bastian school principal, the death of Bergang, and the occupation of Fog Wood were all written down.
Tigris did not write in this regression anything that covered the quarrels, such as who did something wrong.
I just wrote the facts as plainly as possible.
Instead, Tigris wrote a character evaluation in another notebook.
This was Tigris’ personal evaluation based on the actions of the main characters, including Tigris.
He wrote down the evaluations of the best enemies in the continent, including Uno, Rota, and Arpem, as well as Rain Rover and Bergang, who would be helpful in the Empire.
The character’s deeds, tone of voice, personality, weaknesses, shortcomings, and strengths were meticulously written.
Rain Rover and Bergang swallowed their saliva.
The future that has not yet happened, to be precise, the past that Tigris has been through and their future are all written down in this memoir of Tigris.
The value of this memoir was higher than any other document in the world.
Usually, memoirs are written based on past experiences, but this memoir is no different than a prophetic book written about the future.
“Does it even say how the two of us died?”
“I couldn’t see Princess Rain Rover’s death with my own eyes because of the sword fighting with Arfem in the final war. Instead, Bergan-sama’s death is written.”
Tigris picked out four memoirs and handed them to Bergang.
“As it was originally, three years later, in the midst of suppressing the war against the Kingdom of Gillion and the rebellion of Count Vinsmoke, Sir Bergang was attacked and killed by Oslo, the sloth-slayer, Schwitz the Horn of Lota, and Levis the Mouth of Lota. You did.”
Berggan accepted the memoir of his own death.
And read it slowly.
Bergang’s expression was very difficult to read.
I felt like crying, I was angry, and I was timid.
However, the atmosphere was so bizarre that it was impossible to talk, so Tigris and Rain Rover did not open their mouths.
Five minutes later, Berggan opened his heavy mouth.
“···Right. My wife and daughter are also dead.”
The death of Berggan began when Lévis the mouth of Lota and Schwitz the horn of Lota kidnapped Bergang’s wife and daughter.
At the time, Gordon and the Golden Knights, who were protecting Bergang’s daughter and wife, were killed by Levis.
Berggan, knowing it was a trap, went alone to a hut in the corner of the Countess of Vinsmoke where his wife and daughter were.
And he died fighting Oslo.
The sword protecting the empire and the leader of the Golden Knights were not supposed to do it, but he chose to die as a husband and father of a daughter rather than a knight of the empire.
The table trembled at Bergang’s gentle anger.
Eventually, the teacup spilled over, and Berggan shrugged off his emotions.
“···sorry. Her Majesty the Princess.”
“No. it’s okay. Bergan.”
To prevent the memoir and directory from getting wet, Rain Rover used magic to dump the tea on the ground.
Berggan carefully covered the memoir so that it would not be wrinkled or damaged, and placed it on the table.
“Sir Tigris. To be honest, I don’t know why you brought this up to us in the first place. Shouldn’t this memoir be shown to His Majesty the Emperor first?”
“Princess Rain Rover must have already understood my inclinations, but I have no talent for saying things that exist as if they didn’t exist and things that don’t exist as if they were there.”
Even Rain Rover knew that.
Tigris was an unadorned person in good terms, and very straightforward in bad terms.
“If your Majesty the Emperor reads this memoir, he will surely ask me a question. Was Prince Harry an emperor who could overcome this tribulation?”
The Rain Rover caught his breath for a moment.
“Wait a minute, that’s probably what His Majesty the Emperor…”
“Two months after the rebellion of Count Vinsmoke, he drank the wine with the curse of Levis and passed away.”
At that time, Emperor Todd was still 55 years old.
However, when he drank the wine with the ‘curse of aging’ from Levis, he died of old age within less than a month.
“Then my brother… No, did Prince Harry ascend to the throne right away?”
“Yes. That’s right. But it was not enough to get through the difficult times.”
Tigris knew it was rude, but he answered honestly.
It was because he had put all of Tigris’ thoughts on Prince Harry into the directory anyway.
Prince Harry was not the lumberjack of a charismatic monarch who would get through the turmoil.
When Emperor Todd died suddenly and ascended to the throne, Prince Harry held his breath as if a tortoise had hidden its head in the difficult situation of the Empire.
Even if the Kingdom of Gillion attacked and Count Vinsmoke counterattacked, he gave in endlessly thinking that he would give them something.
Then, the local lords did not believe in the emperor with a passive attitude, so they united separately to defend or join the Gillion Kingdom and the Vinsmoke family’s attacks.
In addition, it would have been fine if there were subjects who were genuinely worried about the future of the empire by the emperor’s side, but there were many vassals who had been recruited by Rota and Arfem like Viscount Kayle.
There was no way the kingdom could return properly.
Of course, it can be said that Prince Harry had no choice but to rise to a position of supreme dignity at the young age of only 31.
However, even though Princess Rain Rover was much younger than Prince Harry, she traveled the battlefield herself, uniting the Empire and charismatically commanding the army.
The princess acted as an outstanding monarch and general to the extent that there is a saying that the word “hero of turbulence” is referring to the princess.
“I will tell you that if His Majesty Todd passes away, it is right that the next emperor should take the seat of Princess Rain Rover, not Prince Harry.”
“that······!”
“But this is my personal opinion.”
This memoir and directory were written based on what Tigris remembered before his return.
Tigris knew very well how arrogant he was before his return, and a person who took it for granted to criticize and disparage others.
“The first volume of the directory is a complete self-evaluation of myself. As you can see, you can see how arrogant, self-righteous, and narrow-minded I am. When I am arrogant and narrow-minded, when I remember others, do I think I will remember the good points more? Or are you more likely to remember the shortcomings?”
Berggan coughed and said,
“If you are a genius like Sir Tigris, wouldn’t you like to see others from a different perspective? So I think it might be more accurate than our evaluation?”
“I will admit that I have better swordsmanship than other people. But that doesn’t mean it’s good to be human. When remembering the former, I have a habit of inflating and remembering the shortcomings and reducing the strengths of others. As a result, most of these records contain more of the person’s cons than their strengths.”
Tigris said looking at the Rain Rover.
“That’s why I brought this to Princess Rain Rover first.”
The biography contains the deeds and personal evaluations of individuals who will play important roles in the future, including Bergang, Prince Harry, Prince Amyro, Princess Rain Rover, Sage Bastian, and Count Friharden.
And, as I said before, there were more cons than pros.
This meant that information could be distorted and transmitted as a person who was not needed by His Majesty the Emperor even though he was a very talented person.
However, Rain Rover is almost the opposite of Tigris.
I knew how to take advantage of the other person’s weaknesses or to discover or maximize their strengths.
“Princess Rain Rover, please look at these two types of records, delete the ones you don’t want to be in my directory, and add them if you need to.”
“So, you mean you want to sharpen it? How can I do that…”
“The princess is one of the best people I have ever seen. Although it is only a documentary, if you are a princess, you will be able to discover great talents I have never seen before.”
Rain Rover covered his mouth with his right hand and looked down at the ground.
He was thinking deeply about whether he would be able to do such a daunting task.
Rain Rover opened his mouth as if he had finished thinking.
“Sir Tigris, I have a question for you.”
“Please ask. majesty.”
“Sir Tigris, what do you think of me before my return? I would like to hear it from Sir Tigris.”
“There is a sentence that describes the princess at the very beginning. A capable general that cannot be exchanged for even with Imperial Victory.”
The ability of the princess was not only excellent as a summoning wizard, but also excellent in human resource management.
Because so many people died, she was forced to receive the post of general, but her true value was in personnel management.
He achieved quite a number of victories through proper human resource management and deployment, such as selecting the general’s timber and appointing him as a general, and forming a separate organization for talented people like Tigris to take on individual duties.
“Do you trust me that much?”
“Yes. That’s right”
Rain Rover’s eyes changed.
It was a look that promised something.
“To be honest, I don’t believe you. Sometimes I wonder if I will be able to do this well.”
Rain Rover looked into Tigris’ eyes.
Tigris’ eyes were straight and good.
“But Lord Tigris, whom I trust, has a high regard for me, so I will put my trust in me.”
“thank you. Her Majesty the Princess.”
Rain Rover let out a small sigh as he looked at the total of 25 notebooks.
“By the way, if you want to edit this large amount, you won’t be able to go to the Imperial University, let alone a club. I think it’s right to be paid this year.”
“I’m sorry for giving you a heavy workload.”
“It’s just knowing the weight of work. Well… if you’re so sorry, I think it would be nice if you could give me a small present…?”
“I will give you a special present on the Princess’s birthday.”
Rain Rover’s expression brightened.
“really? Can I look forward to it?”
“Yes. You can look forward to it.”
“I’m so excited because I’m looking forward to this. I will work hard too.”
Bergang looked at the two of them happily.
From a distance, the two got along very well.

Just like yourself and Rachel.However, a question suddenly crossed Bergang’s mind.
“By the way, I could only show you the Princess, so why did you show it to me too?”
“Because Sir Bergang has a list and characteristics of those who should be especially careful and who should be appointed as golden knights.”
“The latter part makes some sense, but who should be especially careful?”
“The Sloth Slayer Oslo is a homunculus.”
“Are you talking about the guy who killed me?”
“Yes. you’re right.”
Oslo the Sloth Slayer.
He was a person Tigris was personally as wary of as Lota’s Mouth Levis.
All members of Rota and Arphem’s family will receive one power that goes against the rules of the world.
In the case of Schwitz, the power of the horn to freely extract the horns created by alchemy and black magic on his body and his cloned body, and for Levis the ‘one-way promise’ that can simplify the complicated curse procedure. gave the power to
In this way, Oslo, the one who shaves off indolence, has the power of ‘learning to die’.
It was a deceptive ability that allowed Oslo to learn more than one thing before dying from an opponent and respawn upon death.
Oslo fought Bergang for a full month and learned everything about Bergang, and even learned Bergang’s image of ‘nature’ as it was.
“If you come across Oslo, you must subdue it, not kill it.”
“What do you mean by overpowering?”
“For example, you can cut off his limbs and burn the cross section so that he doesn’t die from excessive bleeding.”
At the very cruel example, not only Bergang but also the princess flinched slightly.
“Does this mean that death-learning cannot manifest its power?”
“Yes. That’s right. After that, you must either throw it away in the land of mystery or seal it. In my case, it was possible because Oslo had two surprise kills in a row before learning my swordsmanship, but to be honest, I was very lucky then.”
If Oslo had even learned the image of Tigris, Tigris would have died.
Bergan nodded with a firm expression on his face.
“I see. Be mindful.”
Twilight has already begun to set in the garden.
Now it was time to go home.
“Then I will just get up. If you have any questions, please call. I will come anytime.”
“Sir Tigris, wait a minute.”
Rain Rover got up and approached Tigris.
Rain Rover’s expression looked so serious that Tigris didn’t say anything.
width-
Rain Rover buried his head in Tigris’ chest.
Rain Rover’s hand rested lightly on Tigris’ waist.
“…have you been really lonely all this time?”
Rain Rover couldn’t even imagine how hard Tigris must have been so far.
As Tigris returned, some people who were supposed to live died, and others who shouldn’t have been injured.
And even though there are lives that could be saved, he must have been awake at night with the guilt of not being able to save them.
It was not something anyone could do to endure it alone for over 7 months.
“no. I will be paid for my sins.”
Abandoning his arrogance, Tigris was not as brazen as before his return.
When I cut off Morita’s arms, I thought it was inevitable, but I wondered if there was still another way.
Instead of dying subjects in the chimera laboratory, he waited to save the lives of citizens, and took the day that could most certainly be handled with the chimera laboratory.
Many lives were saved, but that does not mean that few were lost.
Only because of Tigris’ decision, people lived and died.
The burden was heavy, so I used to meditate quietly one day without swinging my sword.
So Tigris decided to consider this heavy burden as punishment for his arrogance before returning.
“You don’t have to be lonely anymore. We’re here to help. If you are always having a hard time, please come and talk to me or Bergan.”
When Tigris was ordained a knight, the question that Linia had posed suddenly came to mind.
-Then… Who do you lean on when your brother is really struggling?
At that time, I vaguely answered that it was a comrade, but it seems that I have found the correct answer now.
The comrade was right.
