312 – The carriage wheels stop (2)
“Really? “You want to travel with Senna?”
“Yes!”
After waking up and hearing an explanation of the situation, Chester met with Rex and heard about his future plans.
I feel lonely that we are not together on the island, and I am proud that my son seems to be becoming independent. However, I wish we could continue to be together, but for Rex’s sake, I think it would be right for us to distance ourselves from each other.
Although complex emotions rushed through him, Chester smiled and patted Rex’s shoulder.
“Yes. A trip to create a world map, that would be nice too. “Still, you should meet your father and mother when we go to the island.”
“Okay.”
After Chester woke up, the group wondered what to do with the demon they had put off.
However, a solution came from an unexpected place. It was from the devil himself.
– You could say this is my body.
The devil showed the devices that Raynald had secretly stolen from within the castle walls, hidden in a corner of a secret warehouse.
It was an ominous-looking device in which a cloudy and sticky liquid mixed with black and purple centered around an unidentified black gem, flowing along the grooves and writing unidentifiable characters.
The black gem creates the shell of the devil’s armor, the flowing liquid creates the devil’s blood, and all the other things attached to the device create the devil’s flesh, bones, and organs.
As long as it is not destroyed, the devil can survive without losing its original life, no matter how much it is destroyed.
As long as only the brain and heart remain and only nutrients, oxygen, and blood are properly supplied, it is the same as theoretically being able to say that a person is not dead even if all other parts are lost.
“So, even though my body was destroyed like that, I didn’t die.”
“You’re crazy.”
Chester and his party, who learned the identity of the devil and the immortality possessed by the devil knight, looked at the device in bewilderment and then looked at the devil.
“It’s pretty small, isn’t it?”
– It was originally installed along the entire wall of the Kingdom of Viend. Raynald recreated this device by taking only what was absolutely necessary, and only a small amount that could be hidden.
“Hmm. “So are you deteriorated?”
– Performance is the same. However, the power to create my limbs, which you call demon knights, has decreased. Thanks to this, I was only able to make about 30 items at most.
“30… ….”
30 Demon knights.
If they rush in, even if Rex is there, all of Chester and the others will be helplessly pushed away and die.
“Originally?”
– If you have the original body, you can make it either 100 or 1,000.
“… ….”
Chester and the others, who heard a snippet of the devil’s true power, felt fear rising deep in their hearts and looked at the device.
“If I destroy this, will you die?”
– Not dead.
The devil shrugged his shoulders.
– This is the first death in my history. And that will be the last time. There is no second for anyone. Isn’t it?
“…… Is it still okay?”
– Since it was created, there will be moments when it is destroyed. Chester. Just like that golden staff you had.
Chester thought of the destroyed Anubis.
Anubis, whose pole was cut in half and then bent and torn apart, lost its strength and simply turned into an ornament made of gold.
Of course, the gold used as a material has the ability to absorb the power of the sun. But that’s it. The absorbed power could not be converted into something else.
“Well, if you say so.”
On that day, all the demon knights who were rampaging throughout the Kingdom of Biend were defeated.
They never happened again.
And after the biggest obstacle called the Demon Knight disappeared, the invaders began to take over the land of the Kingdom of Viend in earnest.
So.
A war of conquest begins between invaders to take over larger, more valuable land.
There is no royal family.
There is no ducal family.
Everyone with great power disappeared, but it was the third largest war that took place nonetheless, sweeping the entire continent.
The suffering of this continent is not over yet.
But no one in Chester’s group paid much attention to that.
Because it had nothing to do with them.
* * *
After fixing the broken carriage, Chester and his party escaped from the secret warehouse with the items they had taken and lived as if they were wandering here and there, avoiding the rampaging army.
Sometimes, I was unable to avoid the commotion and got caught up in it, and sometimes I went out of my way to cause a commotion.
At the same time, I made a relationship, made an enemy, broke a relationship, joined hands with the enemy, and even held hands and then stabbed him in the back.
Several years of living like that, somehow surviving the war.
The party settled in a coastal city in a place formerly called the Kingdom of Viend, where the flames of war are now slowly dying down. They use the enormous wealth they obtained from a secret warehouse to pay for their living expenses and buy a house for them to live in. Time was spent
Lorwan was the first to leave.
He developed his skills by dealing with Urgo, Chester, and Rex, and learned the language of a continent whose name he did not know well. When the moment seemed right, he boarded the ship.
Next was Urgo.
Unfortunately, the ship heading to the continent where Urgo’s hometown is located was not easily found, and Urgo had no choice but to board a ship of an exploration team wandering the sea.
He said that if he follows them around the world and ends up on a continent with his own grasslands, he will settle there then.
At first, Sena and Rex were planning to follow Urgo, but when Rex said she wanted to say hello to her biological parents, Sena decided to give up her plan to follow Urgo.
After finding a decent boat for the two of them and a few crew members, they ran the boat properly, made some money, and spent time practicing driving the boat.
However, the Chester family stands out.
Senana Monia’s beauty is beautiful, Rex’s existence is beautiful, and most of all, Monia has the characteristics of the duke family of the fallen Kingdom of Viend.
Therefore, even if you tried to live a normal life, you inevitably had to be swept up in various disturbances.
There was a time when a person who said he wanted to create the Kingdom of Viend came and beat him up for talking nonsense, and there was a time when a person with a grudge against the duke’s family stopped him from burning down his house and then killed him to get rid of it. There was even a bloodbath, bordering on a small-scale dispute, with merchants who kidnapped an animal, Rex, and wanted to sell it for a high price.
“The Japi Kingdom has become bigger than I thought.”
“Look! …… “The border looks a little strange?”
“The Zapi Kingdom is saying that from here to here is their border, but they are claiming this border, saying this is wrong, this is their land.”
“Ah… “We will fight again.”
“Monia. “Wasn’t there a mine around here?”
“Yes. “There was.”
In response to Monia’s answer, Chester folded the newspaper and threw it on the table.
“This is going to hit hard.”
“Can’t we just stop fighting?”
Monia laid out her freshly prepared food on her table, and the Chester family started the morning like any other day.
Just as there was a time when we thought about settling down on the Matoto continent, the same people were living peacefully day by day just like back then.
Although there was occasional commotion, it was peaceful.
“Sena, didn’t a suitor show up before? “What happened?”
After Monia took a bite of bread, she mentioned something interesting that had happened recently. A few days ago, she was walking with Sena when a man suddenly approached her and courted her, saying that he fell in love with her at first sight.
“Ah, that. “I was a little surprised.”
“Of course I refused.”
After drinking the milk in her large glass in one go, Sena said with a look on her face that asked what she was saying.
“Why do I accept that?”
“I did it just in case.”
“So when are you and Chester going to have a baby?”
Senna saw Monia’s ship. It was still a slim and solid stomach.
“Can’t we make it now?”
“I decided to make it after returning to the island. “In our home.”
As Monia smiled sinisterly while stroking her lower abdomen, she made a face that said Sena couldn’t stop her.
She started her day like any other day, but that day was different from any other day.
At the end of the meal, one of the errand boys who had made a connection while living in the village urgently knocked on the door of their house and shouted in panic when the door opened.
“Chester! Mr. Chester! It’s here! That’s it!”
“That’s it. “Speak calmly.”
“It’s an island! A floating island! “They say a fisherman who went out early this morning saw it!”

Wandering islands appear in the waters near this coastal city irregularly for several years, sometimes even over 10 years.
It is probably the result of the floating island riding the huge ocean current that flows from the distant sea to this coastal sea.
Knowing that, the Chester family settled down in this coastal city, and after several years of waiting, they finally… ….
“…… Hmm.”
“Oh!”
They were able to set their feet on the island’s sandy beach again.
“Chester, look at this. This is the bamboo we used to make salt. “Is this still there?”
“That’s right. “I managed to survive.”
“I should take it home as a souvenir!”
Chester smiled when he saw Monia carrying the bamboo on her shoulders and captured the nostalgic scene of the island in his eyes.
It was a great adventure.
