Chapter 77 – Poor ♥
The city with its colorful lights was like a cross-section of the gloomy side of the empire.

Heart of the Empire. The imperial city, which is the center of the empire and where all wealth and gold pass through, can be said to be the empire itself. The feast of all kinds of magic and technology that could not be seen in any other city was enough to fascinate countless people of the empire, and the majestic scenery of the imperial capital, which grew out of the overwhelming attention, was close to the best in all of history.
However, the harmful effects caused by indiscriminate concentration and development were inevitable, which could not be avoided even in the imperial capital where all the intellectuals of the empire gathered.
The first is the heavy and greasy air that seeps into the lungs. In particular, the color of the sky, oppressed by smog, boasted a rough surface similar to acrid coals all year round, and it was so bad that after sighing deeply, my stomach felt as if butter made of dust had melted in my mouth.
If we were to put the significance in perspective, it would be that the dramatically developed magic made it possible to purify the air quality, at least indoors. The wealthy villages where the mansions of high-ranking people are located are among the few areas with polluted air, but this is the biggest reason why they do not pay any attention to air quality.
The throne room of the Imperial Castle boasted clear, clean air without a speck of dust.
“I meet your Majesty the Emperor.”
The crown prince politely greeted his throne. He bent down too deeply, which was a bit excessive, but he figured it wouldn’t hurt anything.
Today is the day to stand before the emperor as a warrior of the First Holy Sword, not as a crown prince.
I had learned from a very young age that I should not give a single word of leeway in front of the emperor, whose hobby was to find fault with all kinds of things.
“Huh… Oh my. “It means you three are the end.”
Sure enough, the emperor spoke loosely, letting his words hang as if he was having fun.
At that moment, a maid who was serving the emperor tactfully handed him her pipe. The gold pipe with jewels was one of his most prized treasures. The emperor casually grabbed her maid’s breasts, holding her pipe in her mouth.
With the first sip, the scent of pine needles wafted in the air, and he smiled leisurely and looked down at the audience.
“…… There are only three holy sword warriors. How shabby is this? “The status of the brilliant golden generation of the past cannot be seen without a trace!”
“Now, all of the Holy Sword Heroes remaining in the Empire have been called by Your Majesty and greet you.”
“Prince, no… The hero of the 1st Holy Sword. “Why do you think it got to this point?”
The emperor rarely listened to others. Even now, I only half-listen to the crown prince’s words.
“…… “The heroes of the 3rd and 4th Holy Swords here are the ones who have been protecting the empire for decades.”
“Okay. “But I want to talk about the vacancy.”
“It sounds like you are asking us to think carefully about the reason for the vacancy.”
“I’m sorry if you thought that wasn’t the case.”
“Then, I will report to you once again. The hero of the 5th Holy Sword was killed by Neferna, who was the hero of the 2nd Holy Sword, and the hero of the 6th Holy Sword was killed by Neferna under the mercy of the 3rd Holy Sword, after his involvement in immoral activities was revealed. So, all the warriors here right now are.”
“Isn’t it pleasant? Eugene Sir Neferna. Two warriors fell into his hands. Even if you look back at all the history of the world, all over the world, all over the world, it would be difficult to find a fairy tale so ridiculous that a warrior disrupted the world with his own hands.”
This may have been the answer he wanted.
The emperor spoke cheerfully, curling the corners of his mouth and inhaling smoke from his pipe.
“That means he helped the empire again this time. As for Jim… “It’s ironic.”
“Ha! You defeated about 100,000 monsters? “What does that have to do with it?”
A sharp voice rings loudly.
The person who made outspoken remarks toward the emperor was no one else but the hero of the Third Holy Sword.
Tanned brown skin. She left a glamorous impression that belied her age and began swearing sharply.
“That bastard, who had most of his magic sealed away, couldn’t have done it alone, and he would have stuck with the Magic Tower bastards at least. Dirty blood bastards.”
“Oh my. “I didn’t know you were afraid of your blood relatives.”
“Are you scared? I?! Do not be ridiculous. “You’re the emperor, so you sit on the throne and massage women, but you hide there because you’re afraid of monsters because they’re your blood relatives?”
“Regardless of what happened with the Magic Tower, Jim just sat there and ate the falling bread without even moving his hand, so I guess it’s nothing to worry about.”
“You, the prince, have no pride?!”
“Hmm, pride… “
The emperor subtly continued her conversation, but shrugged her shoulders as if she had lost interest. Suddenly, he grabbed the maid’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. As a woman from a prestigious noble family, she was not used to the hands freely exploring her breasts and vagina, or perhaps she was ashamed of the situation being seen by others, so she just kept looking at the emperor with an awkward expression.
The emperor’s special wall that no one dares to point out.
The crown prince lowered his head, barely suppressing his frown at his parents’ explicit details.
The emperor looked at the hero of the Third Holy Sword and smiled.
“According to what you said, the person who sent Anastasia to Neferna was an animal with no pride.”
“What? Wait for a sec. Anastasia is with Neferna now… ?”
“You can say that. He said he would learn about warriors. “The 6th Holy Sword is about to have a new owner, so it was meaningless.”
“Crazy… ! Are you kidding me?! Are you planning to kill the princess, her own daughter? I know what Neferna will do… !”
As the hero of the Third Holy Sword spoke with a lot of blood, a middle-aged man heavily blocked his path. He was the chairman of the academy.
“Why not stay calm? Third Holy Sword. “Professor Neferna will be a little different from the one you know.”
“Personality? That kid? Gaegwacheonseon? Under! A passing dog will laugh.”
Then the emperor smiled secretly.
“Oh my, how can I get so tired of such an interesting story? The hero of the 3rd Holy Sword. Jim asks you directly. “What kind of person is Eugene Seo Neferna that you see?”
“Hmph! Eugene Sir Neferna. The past hero of the Second Holy Sword whose records you erased. “He’s a psychotic bastard who can’t even be a devil, let alone a warrior, there’s nothing else to say.”
“The evaluation is somewhat poor. “He must have known the Second Holy Sword’s parents well.”
“That’s from when she was young. Now, what good is it to have a traitor like that around? That child is Neferna’s shame. “You’re an idiot who’s just tarnishing the faces of your father and mother.”
While the warrior of the 3rd Holy Sword was making sarcasm, the emperor suddenly ripped off the top of her maid’s dress that was in her arms.
It literally happened in an instant.
The woman who had silently accepted the emperor’s touch was startled and tried to cover her breasts with her hands. It was the emperor who grabbed her wrist and forced it open. The crown prince and the chairman clicked their tongues and avoided eye contact at the blatant situation.
The emperor continued calmly.
“The shame of the Neferna family you are talking about is that they missed a monster this time too.”
“One? What kind of thing is one? If there are over 100,000, it’s worth missing at least one. Just in case, I’ll tell you, even if I think Eugene’s asshole, that doesn’t mean I’ll stand by you.”
“Well, if it’s just the right size, I wouldn’t worry about luggage.”
Violation and humiliation. The woman eventually burst into tears as she was touched by a twisted desire to conquer the other person by forceful means.
“Hero of the 4th Holy Sword.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Summon the hero of the 6th Holy Sword as scheduled. “As of today, the imperial family’s policy of making Princess Anastasia a candidate for her Six Holy Swords will be abolished.”

“Oppa! Are you okay?”
“… Please?”
Lin and Ran took turns jumping around. I sniffled and tied the cardigan I was wearing even more.
“Lina… Ran… Don’t come close… “
Although I wore a mask, I knew well that you should not blindly trust that piece of cloth.
I couldn’t pass the cold on to my two cute and wonderful siblings who came running to me as soon as they heard I was sick.
I was able to put my mind at ease because Professor Aegis, who was taking the temperature next to me, walked away from me as if he was embracing Lin and Ran in his arms.
“It’s a mild fever, but there’s nothing bad if you’re careful.”
“Is it just a cold?”
Professor Aegis chuckled as he handed me a piece of powdered medicine.
“I have body aches due to extreme stress~♪ As soon as I heard the news from Mrs. DC, I fainted~ My immunity is at an all-time low. “I can’t believe I got hit by a virus smaller than Rin and Ran, you idiot~& You idiot~♡ Idiot~♪ Puhuhuhu~♪”
“… You can just roll it up and move it away. Cough! “Cough!”
“I was punished. “I’ve been being mean to Professor Freya recently, and my karma has been dealt to me.”
I have nothing to say. Still, I hope you take into account the fact that it wasn’t intentional.
“Did my brother do something wrong?”
Rin asked, tilting her head.
“hehehe, listen carefully, this time in Professor Neferna’s lab…… Helen Gyosnimm Sogot, yaaa! Eupeup… !”
“Professor Aegis, call! “You can’t say things like that.”
“Puha! … Phew! What if you suddenly put your hand over her mouth~♪”
“I was wondering if you would keep quiet if I catch a cold.”
“Oh, Professor Neferna, you said earlier that you can spread colds. Do you know that contact with mucous membranes is necessary to truly spread colds?”
“Then I guess I did it without knowing?”
When I swallowed my cough and answered calmly, Professor Aegis seemed embarrassed and bit his lip and averted his gaze, probably not expecting such an answer.
“Oh my… Be extreme. So now, after being subjected to something unspeakable in the professor’s lab in front of the kids, I can barely leave any clothes behind? Just like Professor Helen! Hey, beast~♪”
There’s nothing this sweet elf can’t say in front of her kids.
Is it because the body temperature has risen?
Being braver than usual, I sharply grabbed Professor Aegis’ ear and shook it. However, it was impossible to continue showing such violent scenes to children.
“Lina, Ran, you’ll catch a cold if you stay here, so we’ll see you later.”
“Ah, yes!”
“…… Oh, if you happen to meet Cecilia, could you tell her to let you know when the date is set to go buy the ingredients needed for the party? I think it will be better before then… Cough… just because….”
“Ah, yes! Just trust me and Ran, oppa! “Get healthy soon!”
“… …. Please.”
When the story of the party came up, a smile bloomed on Rin’s face, and Ran also felt her blank expression soften a little.
“Then now, slowly…… “
“No~ Please lie down quietly this weekend~”
