Episode 30. Certainly.

As soon as it was sealed again, all the children rushed at it.

I hugged and stroked them all, but this time it took almost 2 hours.

The aftermath of the battle.

It takes a long time for blood to boil once it boils.

“I have collected all the orc corpses, but are we really going to leave them alone?”

While I was petting the children, the mercenaries gathered all the corpses of the orcs in one place.

It took some time as there were some shredded corpses, but I could see they were well put together and not a single piece of flesh was left behind.

“Yes. All right.”

“Don’t purify demons.”

“Is it okay? Then the undead might appear around you.”

“Leave it.”

So the Schlageter children are more completely hidden.

Even if demonic energy is detected nearby, this corpse will be pointed out as the cause.

I guess I’ll have to put up with the appearance of the undead.

“Take care so that there is no damage to the surrounding village”

“Okay.”

Naturally, the undead are about the size of zombies, but unlike the movies, they are not contagious, they are slow, and they are so weak that even a local kid can defeat them with a club.

If it’s an occasional problem, how many times do you get bitten by people after seeing it because of the vicious visuals? The biting force is also extremely weak, so it’s about the size of teeth marks.

There are times when skeletons appear like beans sprouting in a drought, but this level of magic is unreasonable.

I wonder if it will come out if it is dozens of times more than this.

What’s scarier than that is what heretics and warlocks discover first.

What. The mercenary corps will manage it to some extent, so there is little chance of that.

Perhaps tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the wizards and priests of the empire will come first.

By the way.

Now we have one last thing left to do.

“I won’t release this right away!”

“Long time no see. Noah ben Hardenberg.”

“Nico…. You bastard!!”

“Don’t be a bastard. Listening bastard feels bad.”

“Release it now!!”

“Do you want to die? Like that?”

It was only when I started threatening properly that my eyes started to shake.

This guy, did he really not think he was going to die?

“First of all, Ricard? Can I ask for a favor for the children?”

“Yes!”

“Children, follow Ricard. Don’t worry, we’ll see you again soon.”

“Huh….”

I could see some of the children feeling sorry for them, but since orders come first, they don’t even rebel.

If it’s convenient, it’s convenient, but sometimes this fact is inconvenient.

That’s how the mercenaries and the children left, leaving me and Noah alone.

“What are you going to do with me?”

“That’s right, that line is too stereotypical.”

“… Help me.”

Have you not grasped the situation yet?

“The person who asked for help…. Your snout is a bit short?”

“… Help me.”

What. I have no intention of saving you.

I have only one concern right now.

Torturing me to death or just cutting my throat.

I didn’t worry for long.

“What. It’s a waste to just hit the neck, so let’s do it like this.”

“What is that… ? Kuck.”

I stabbed the guy’s heart with the knife Ricard had left behind.

It won’t kill you instantly, but you can fully enjoy the feeling of dying.

I felt good, so it was my own mercy.

“You…. Jesse…. Talent…. Luck…. Number….”

“Just do a quick search.”

The guy’s heart couldn’t hold out for even 20 seconds and stopped.

It was shorter than I thought, but I’m satisfied with it.

A smile forms on your lips.

The guy is dead.

Noah ben Hardenberg is dead.

I finally succeeded in checking.

In this world, deterrence does not exist.

You can change the future.

Even if Leon c Kruger isn’t the main character, the world can be saved.

I’m finally convinced.

I can save the world.

********************************

Did I pay too much attention to killing him….

It has become a mess.

I should have left one horse behind….

I can’t help it.

I have no choice but to move my legs hard.

You should be a bit tired, but well, if you run, you’ll arrive on time.

Thought so, I was about to run as hard as I could, when I saw two horses running from a distance.

They are running towards me, so if I do well, I might be able to get them to a certain distance. After waiting for a while, I started to see someone I knew.

“Miss Nico!”

“Elias?”

Elias was exhausted and unable to speak properly.

“Haa…. Ha….”

“What are you doing here?”

You must be super busy right now, how did you get here?

I don’t think you came all the way here to see me.

“Chu…. Business trip…. Ha…. Ha….”

“Catch your breath and talk.”

He’s a guy with weak stamina.

I have to say it’s amazing that such a kid came all the way here.

“I’m on a business trip.”

“Oh yeah?”

Did Elias ever come here on a business trip?

Hmm. Well I don’t know everything about it, but I haven’t heard of anything going on around here.

“Uncle Ricard asked me to tell Nico-sama.”

“That man is also true.”

Did you give the busy kid some time off?

I’m going to have to do something that didn’t have a bonus.

“You are suffering a lot. You must be busy anyway.”

“I’m a little better these days. The delivery to the imperial family has also been completed, and there will be no new business for the time being.”

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s a bit fortunate, isn’t it?”

Well, if she really had a lot of work, she wouldn’t have even come this far.

“Is that why you came all the way here because you wanted to see me?”

I have some loyalty.

In a world where traitors like you are prevalent these days, Elias is a man of loyalty.

“Yes. I came all this way because I wanted to see Nico-sama.”

“Uh ha ha. Are you accepting this now?”

In the past, I wouldn’t have been able to say anything because my face would have turned red, but now I take jokes like this lightly.

You’ve grown up. Elias.

“… Well, let’s get on a horse first.”

“I’m going to go to Gefat first, what about you?”

“Then stop by Ruin with me, then take a wagon and go to Geffat together. I also have business in Gefard.”

“Oh yeah?”

For me, it’s nice that the carriage is more comfortable than the horse, but….

“Aren’t I too much of a nuisance though? I guess we can just ride right out of here.”

“It will take a few days here, are you going to sleep on the way? How about rice?”

“…That’s it too. Then please do me a favor.”

I’m just grateful that it helps me avoid homelessness and starvation.

“How are those two?”

“Paul and Lucas? Neither is bad. I’m a bit lacking in grit.”

“Hmm. You lasted four weeks on that mountain?”

“Right. The time is a bit short, but I rolled it hard instead.”

“…Just like the old Schlageter kids were trained?”

“You rolled a little tighter than that, maybe twice?”

Before those two, I also trained the Schlageter children myself.

Anyway, since they were young children, they rolled a little less than the two of them, but did they roll about 8 weeks instead?

That was the first and last time the Schlageter children rebelled against me.

Thinking about it now, it’s just a memory.

“… Are you alive?”

“What do you look at me for? Of course he is alive.”

I am alive.

Alive.

“Seeing that you sent Geffat, are you training as a musketeer?”

“More than that, a versatile infantryman.”

You will learn not only firearms, but also various other firearms.

Well, it’s modeled after a modern weapon and the controls are simple, so 2 weeks should be enough.

Originally, if you go back and forth a few times, you’ll learn it quickly.

“Hmm…. Do you trust them?”

“I don’t just believe.”

The shackles will be enough.

I have the confidence to keep my mouth shut for half a year at most.

“What about the kids?”

“I was sent back to the North. That job isn’t finished yet.”

“These are young children, I don’t know if they are suffering only because of me.”

“The kids seem to be quite satisfied.”

“What. Because it is northern.”

It’s the only place where you can freely move around and do anything.

Even murder.

“Whoa. Worried. If you just taste blood too much, you’ll run out of blood later! Aren’t you doing this?”

“Nothing to worry about. Because the leash is certain.”

Elias is right.

I will always hold the leash as long as even the real Demon King doesn’t appear, so I shouldn’t worry too much.

However, the aftertaste is a bit bitter for me, who still have a sense of modernity.

“Is this another world?”

You’ll get used to it.

Someday.

******************************

Nico doesn’t seem to notice, but it wasn’t a coincidence that Nico and Elias met today.

A highly calculated inevitability created by Elias.

‘Uncle Ricarde is also really….’

Richard was one of the few people who knew that Elias was a woman.

The one who dragged Nico’s horse and sent Elias here.

Although it created an opportunity for the two of us to be alone, I wonder if there is any meaning to it when it is obvious that we will continue to talk about work anyway….

‘The owner is always the same.’

Nico has always been like that.

It is said that he is resting, but he was always working.

I’ve gotten a little better lately, but I still tend to look too far ahead and run.

Even now, they were still talking about work.

“So, the distribution network for the Kingdom of Navarre should also be strengthened.”

“Because of the drought?”

“It rains often, but it is difficult for crops to grow properly in this temperature. It is to the point of rotting away.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So bring some food here from Navarre, ah. Is there any problem with the Valois distribution network?”

“Yes. It’s pretty stable over there.”

“Then let’s get some from there too. Are you okay?”

“Okay.”

Besides, it’s hard to deal with your own problems, so you love helping people.

I have no choice but to do half of this.

‘Forever, no forever….’

I will follow him.

Even if it’s just a faithful subordinate.
