CH 418
We arrived at the town of Illuminate not long after and headed for the castle.
I wanted to go home, but I decided that it would be better to go now since everyone was here, so I decided to report first.
“Oh, you’re back. I have some good news for you.”
“I’m back, Nibiru-san! I’m sorry, can we talk about this later? I have to report to the king and I need you to take care of these guys.”
“It’s a bit hectic, huh? Of course, I don’t mind, it’s urgent, isn’t it? I’ll take care of the whole carriage and them, so quickly go on.”
“Thank you, sir! Now, you be quiet, okay?”
“Kuoon!”
“Arf!”
“Grruuu……”
After watching Ash and the others being taken away by Nibiru-san, we entered the castle. This is where Basleigh-sensei comes in with Irumi and Reiss.
“I’m going to go find someone to watch these two. Lars-kun and the others can go to the audience room first.”
“Okay. Are you sure leaving Retzel just like this?”
“I just called for someone at the reception outside …… Oh, here he is.”
“Hey, everyone and Basleigh-chan, welcome back! …… I’ll keep an eye on him too, so let’s go straight to the audience room.”
Himmel arrived, greeted us with his usual smile, and encouraged us to move along behind Retzel.
“I’ll see you later. Brother, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yeah, leave it to me. I’ve got Hawk-san and the others there too, so there’s no problem.”
After seeing Basleigh-sensei off at the entrance, we went further in to the audience room. There, Fath-san opened her mouth.
“However, I only thought of making Makina my successor, but now it’s become troublesome.”
“I’m sorry, Fath-san. There might be a big battle coming up, so you can go back to the mountain.”
“What are you talking about. If Makina dies from this, I won’t be able to sleep well. Even though it’s a force majeure, I’m young again and have strength. I’ll do my best to back you up, okay?”
“You’re right, you should train that girl more. I’m sure she can be your successor.”
“Is that your prediction, too?”
“Who knows. Either way, we’re going to need your help.”
“Hmm ……”
“N-Now, now, Master, you look lovely now, so isn’t it okay.”
“You should be a little more nervous.”
When Makina was in tears after Fath-san pulled her ear, we arrived at the audience room. The Prime Minister, Frederick-san, was standing in front of the door with a difficult look on his face.
“You’re here, Lars-Irving. And a familiar face …… I’m surprised you’re still alive, even though there were rumors. We’re all set here, come in.”
“Yes, sir. I’m sorry, Frederick-san.”
“Don’t worry about it. Just make me another delicious meal.”
When I opened the door to the audience room, I saw the king and Prince Orden sitting in chairs, with knights lined up on either side of them. As I was wondering if it was a countermeasure against Retzel, the king opened his mouth.
“I heard that you had gone to Sandiola. You’re still getting yourself into trouble as always, aren’t you?”
“Ah, yes ……”
“Hahaha, sorry, sorry. I know what’s going on because I got a thank you letter from King Afmand. It’s nice to see that you’re not just saving our territory, but other countries as well.”
“It wasn’t just my strength. It was because I had my friends.”
“Well, you are a humble man, aren’t you. Now, you may not have a good story to tell, but we don’t have a very good story to tell either. “
The king said this to me with a reluctant look on his face, and Prince Orden opened his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Retzel.
“Well, let’s hear what Lars has to say for now, father. We have to ask him why he has the man who tried to kill me six years ago with him, don’t we?”
“Of course I’ll tell you that–“
The battle at Sandiola, the Gospel’s Descent, has an executives called the Ten Chief Priests. And that when we capture one of them, Fath-san rolled the Aiatsubus that she has been carrying onto the floor.
Then I told him that Retzel was an immortal being, and we made a break for it. Of course, there was a groan in the audience room, and the King and Prince Orden broke into a cold sweat.
“Immortality …… such a thing …….”
“And that’s the Gospel’s Descent’s executive ……”
“It’s understandable that you don’t believe me. Let’s me show you some proof ……”
“Retzel, what are you–“
“Kyaaaaaaaaa!?”
When Retzel took out the dagger he had hidden under his lab coat, he stabbed himself in the chest without hesitation, blood seeping from his chest and mouth. He pulls out the dagger, wipes it with his lab coat, sheathes it, and continues talking.
“I don’t really want to do this because of the pain. Would you believe me now? I’m sorry about that, King Albert.”
“You’re still a creepy guy. Why did you betray the Gospel’s Descent?”
“Well, there’s a lot to be said for the fact that he wasn’t as good as I thought he was. Even with the Wise Man’s Soul, I’m sure he would not be able to kill me.”
“So if Lars can’t kill you, you may betray us.”
…… As expected of the king. It’s the same thing I was thinking about and was wary of. If he can betray them so easily, there is a chance that we can be betrayed too. It’s fine as long as he thinks that the [Super Jack-of-all-Trades] is useful, but when he realizes it’s not, I don’t know what he’ll do.
“It’s fine that you think it’s possible. I live for me, and the reason I went along with Apollos’ plan was because I thought his abilities would be useful to me? As the Founder, if I can get information by spreading his followers all over the place, I’ll take advantage of it.”
“I see. I’m sure he’s got a lot of ability, since you say so. Can you talk about it?”
“Yes, as much as you want. But first, I’d like to know what’s the information you have.”
“Hey, Retzel, don’t be rude.”
“It’s okay, Lars. It’s related to the Gospel’s Descent, so I’ll tell you.”
The king coughed, looked at us …… or rather me and Makina, with a mysterious look on his face, and then began to speak.
“A couple of weeks ago, the town of Gust was attacked by the followers of the Gospel’s Descent.”
“!”
“I-Isn’t that what Retzel-san was talking about!?”
“……”
The attack was something that Retzel said he wanted to believe wasn’t a prophetic dream, but it seems to have really happened. Was it already in the past at that point? Is the time in the future ……? It’s complicated, but the king continues.
“But thanks to the adventurers of the town and the faculty members of the Oblivion Academy, the situation was brought under control with zero casualties.”
“Thank goodness. ……”
“But it seems that the ringleader of the incident and the member of the Gospel’s Descent who came to his aid have escaped. One of them was a swordsman, and the other was wearing a robe so tightly that they couldn’t make out his face, but they had escaped from a teacher named Tigre, and when the dragon and Roen’s daughter had pursued them, they had been prevented from approaching by some strange magic or something like that.”
“A, Aina …… what are you doing …… Sarge too ……”
I can’t stop thinking about the unexpected person that was said. But when I was wondering what kind of person Tigre-sensei couldn’t defeat, Retzel stopped laughing and muttered.
“Sherida the [Rejected], huh …… We’ll have to do something if that’s coming back to the town of Gust.”
Now then, what happens from here on? It seems that the timeline was off ……?
Thank you for reading!
