Chapter 275. The enchanting future (1)
The air defense network of the islands has been significantly reinforced.
We are approaching the level of creating something out of nothing.
It was an imitation of the air defense network of the desert frontier, but the size of the air defense gun was different.
All of the island guns that had been deployed as coastal artillery in the navy were removed and began to be used as anti-aircraft guns.
If Tirpitz appears in the skies above the islands, you will be able to experience countless barrages that will tear your body apart just by brushing against them.
However, it was not only because of the construction of the air defense network that the Tilpitz was quiet.
It may sound a bit unlucky, but it is because of the existence of a demon called Schluss Heinkel, me.
Now I have almost the same strength as Tilpitz even in normal times, but I have become a body that can greatly overwhelm Tilpitz for only 5 seconds.
This means that even a surprise attack against me is no longer possible.
So, in an all-out war, Tilpitz has no chance of winning.
There is only one way.
Not alone, but many.
So, the reason Tilpitz was quiet was probably because she was persuading other demons.
It was the night before the storm that was to come later, but it was nice that it was quiet without any major incidents.
I decided to fully enjoy this brief moment of peace.
For a while, I had to cross the continent and come and go between the Great Forest, the Kingdom, and the Desert.
Because the treaty I signed with the Commonwealth of the Freya Empire became a source of trouble, and I was treated like a nation.
The alliance between the Trude Kingdom, the Great Forest, and the Desert was the Commonwealth of the Freya Empire.
So, as a demon, I am an ally of their alliance.
Perhaps he was worried that if he did not form a direct one-on-one alliance, he would be stabbed in the back later, and love calls poured in from all directions, so he had to move around and stamp his seal.
‘Should I just build a country?’
Since a fool like me can’t go around alone and stamp treaties, wouldn’t he need an intellectual to accompany him?
I couldn’t even use the teleportation spell because I was taking Emilia with me, so it took up a lot of time.
I just wanted to sit still and ask them to come over and stamp it, but the only thing I could call my home was the residence of the president of the Imperial University.
I couldn’t even ask the heads of state to come to such a place.
I also had the urge to establish a country in one place.
Of course, I didn’t have enough money, land, or people to run the country, so I decided to quit.
Then, an official alliance with Schulzenburg was formed.
Since even Schulzenburg, which has vast land and quality mercenaries, has been on my side, it can be said that my position within the empire has grown larger than when I was the head of state, but never decreased.
This time, it was a marriage alliance.
Of course, the betrothal was Triae.
To others, it may seem like he married a woman he did not love in order to form an alliance, but in reality it was the opposite.
In fact, it was enough to make an alliance with Schulzenburg or not, so in reality it was more like an alliance for marriage.
No matter how hard it is, you can’t treat the head of a family as a mistress.
“You’re going to school…? Really? Are you serious?”
“Uh.”
The second semester is over, and winter has passed.
It was time for the first semester to begin again.
As I declared that I would go back to school, I was able to receive strange stares from Emilia.
“Why? The student said he would go to school.”
“I have to think about my older brother status.”
“Can’t Mine go to school? No matter how strong I am, I don’t want to be called an ignorant guy. I have to graduate.”
“No… I don’t think anyone would say that I’m ignorant just because I entered the Imperial University…”
I knew very well what Emilia was worried about.
A former head of state, now a human-born Mine who is treated as a quasi-state, must be wary of her repercussions when she went to school.
“I’ll be in big trouble when my brother goes to school. You know. Professors can’t touch you. How afraid everyone will look at you.”
“That’s fine.”
“What?”
“If I can see the professors getting flustered, I should definitely go. Especially Head Professor Ludwig. If I can see him flustered, I can do anything.”
“Why does he hate that person so much…”
“Right. Why?”
I thought about it for a while.
Why do you hate Ludwig so much?
Unless it’s a brutal villain, I have some affection for all the characters, so why would Ludwig want to mess around like this?
“It must be love.”
“What…?”
“Isn’t it similar to wanting to bully the girl you like?”
“Don’t say anything weird, please…”
“Ughhh.”
There are things to joke about and things not to do.
I felt sick to my stomach from throwing up all at once.
Just then, Emilia pushed the teacup in.
Give me a bottle and give me medicine.
“I’ve made tea here.”
“Thank you.”
“So the saintess is pregnant?”
“No. I didn’t… Huh?”
My hand holding the cup stiffened.

For an instant, my vision went out of sight.
How does he know that?
“The saintess’ barrier is very simple. After an hour of sticking to it and interpreting it, it was destroyed.”
“Oh, no… De, did you hear that? Then?”
“Yes. I wonder if I just listened. I opened the door slightly and didn’t know. It was amazing. I thought a dying human being would be so full of energy. Is it something like a reproductive instinct?”
“Emilia…”
“I’m not really blaming you. You can. If I was pregnant, I’d be really angry. But I can forgive you for not doing it.”
“No, Iris and I have promised to marry, but why are you forgiving-“
“Damn it. Are you talking back?”
“·······.”
Emilia climbed on top of me and put her finger in her mouth.
It was a hand gesture with no physical restraint, but I couldn’t speak as if my mouth was sealed.
The facts didn’t matter at all.
The only important thing here is the fact that Emilia gets upset if she opens her mouth.
“Marrying a saintess? Okay. Because my brother has a position. And the relationship between husband and wife? It doesn’t matter what it is. It’s pitiful to get married and then go toe-to-toe. The same goes for Mr. Trier. I have something.”
“What, what is it?”
“I will be the first to have a child.”
“Does it work?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do. I can’t do it with another woman until I get pregnant.”
“·······.”
It was a simple and ingenious solution.
Except for one problem.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“No, but… That’s the case from now on, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Unintentionally····· there may be someone who gets pregnant before you······ it may not be······.”
“What is it? I did it with someone else.”
“·······.”
Goose bumps all over her body.
I was leaning over as if I would fall off the sofa at some point, catching Emilia’s cold eyes.
“Brother, you can’t hide anything from me. You know. I don’t want my subordinates to pry behind you, so when you say something nice, blow it.”
“Tree…”
“Aha. Mr. Trier… I see…”
“And.”
“What? Andoh?”
Oops.
The concentration of nervousness mixed with Emilia’s voice increased even more.
I closed my eyes tightly and decided to leave.
“Feline······.”
“Brother.”
It’s over.
I had a gut feeling that I was dead.
“Your s*xual desire is boiling over these days, huh?”
“Oh no…”
“No, it’s nothing. I thought that we went in and out of this mansion every day because we were talking about something close. In other words, we were busy, right?”
“Emilia. That’s-“
“Shut up and kiss me…”
Anyway, it seemed that his anger was slowly dissipating.
I embraced Emilia, who leaned against me, and accepted her entangled tongue.
It looked like the whole upper body had come out of the sofa and was barely hanging on, but the strength of the legs was enough to hold on.
“My brother said he won’t forget me, but I can’t believe it. How can you live thousands, tens of thousands of years, or more, and keep remembering a woman?”
“I’ll remember.”
“Even if you remember it, it’s probably just a name. You’ll soon forget what it looks like.”
“No. I won’t.”
“It’s a story that has nothing to do with relying on you. Everyone forgets it. But strong memories remain. No matter how hard you try to forget them, they come back to you clearly. That’s why I need to remain in your strong memories.”
“Emilia?”
“Hmm. That’s right. It was like that. I’ll make you never forget me. I’ll make you remind me of me. I’ll make it so you can’t live without me.”
“·······.”
An ominous energy came over me.
She was all the more frightened because Emilia was a guy who would really do what other kids would say she would only do with words.

The Imperial Palace.
In a solemn atmosphere, Arya parted her lips.
“Feline Armstrong. Come forward.”
“Yes.”
“Are you ready to keep your load and devote yourself under any circumstances?”
“It’s done.”
“Are you ready to abandon all self-interest and live a life of integrity only for the Empire?”
“It’s done.”
“Very well. Fellain Armstrong. I appoint you as the Imperial First Sword.”
Feline became the first sword of the empire.
What Arya initially wanted was Trier, but she was turned down, she says.
Although there is a feeling that her skills are slightly inferior compared to Trier, considering her troop leadership ability, Fellain was much more suitable for the Empire’s greatest sword.
Taylor, who was the vice-captain, took over the position of the commander of the Holy Knights because he was unable to serve concurrently as the Imperial First Sword.
The status of the Holy Knights, who led the civil war to victory, was in charge of escorting the emperor in the imperial palace, and even produced the first sword of the empire, was increasing day by day.
It was to the point where I couldn’t contain my laughter while watching the skyrocketing stock prices.
In the first place, it was a group of knights who bought it with the intention of raising it moderately and selling it.
But once it had grown to this point, it could no longer be sold.
The Sacred Knights are now evaluated to have the same value as the Schulzenburg mercenaries.
I felt comfortable when I thought of them as my personal group of enlisted soldiers.
“Your Majesty. What do you mean by giving up self-interest?”
“It is literally letting go of all desires. You cannot have another job or have property.”
After the appointment ceremony, the three of us, Aria, Fellain, and I had a seat.
But Fellain’s question was somewhat out of the blue.
It seems that you really didn’t know anything about the position of the Imperial First Sword…
How did you feel uneasy?
“And what about the family?”
“You can’t even have a family. If you have a family before your appointment, you should cut off all of them and become single.”
“Ouch! Then you can’t even have a relationship?”
“What do you mean by relationship?”
“The relationship between a man and a woman…”
“Keop! Kkeok! Ehhh!”
I stopped drinking the tea and heard a tear.
What if you look at me and say that?
Thanks to that, I was able to appreciate Arya’s surprised eyes.
Perhaps she finally noticed, Arya was unable to follow her words as she alternated between me and Fellain for a moment.
“That’s my misunderstanding, right? Say it. No, say it…? Do it? Do it? Schluss Heinkel.”
“I get a rough idea of what you’re thinking, but you’re probably right. I’m not mistaken.”
“Huh. Huh. Uh. Uh uh…”
Aria is broken.
Perhaps her shock was so great that Aria got up from her seat and made strange noises while running around her room.
“Can I just leave it at that for today? I have something to think about for a while…”
“Should I go out too?”
“You are a male… Ah, no. Schluss Heinkel will remain… No, I would appreciate it if you would remain…”
“So, is it okay to have a relationship or not, Your Majesty?”
“There’s no way it can’t be done! If you control even those things one by one, that’s a tool, but a person!”
“Why are you angry?”
“Go away! Schluss, no, you stay!”
Fellain left, and only Arya and I were left in the room.
Even after the door was closed, Aria kept a close eye on me for a long time and did not rush to speak to her.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
“Schlus Heinkel. He… You…”
“It’s okay to talk casually like before.
“Kuhmm. Schluss Heinkel. I never imagined you would be a beast lover. People call you Furry or Fury. Anyway, I wish I had told you earlier…”
“What?”
It was embarrassing.
What the hell is he talking about?
