“You asked what I was going to do?”
In response to my question, Kalt muttered and touched his chin.
“Well, I guess I’ll be sitting here for a while. About two or three months?”
Kalt pointed to where he was sitting.
Kalt shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the mountain of work piled up next to him.
“The Empire is also in chaos, so I need to help with traffic control for the time being. I’m retiring, but I’m still the head of the Hound, so shouldn’t I fulfill my responsibilities?”
“So when they’re all done?”
When it’s all over, you mean?
Kalt, who had been muttering like that, opened his mouth.
“Then you have to do what you want to do.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You know. The reconstruction of the Sword Canyon.”
Kalt smiled as he pointed to his own sword hanging on the wall of his office and the sword of the squadron sword master Kuntel.
“After all this, I still have the title of Sword Saint…”
“The one Kyle refused to have?”
“···So, isn’t it my role to rebuild Galatric? Also, don’t hold back when people talk about dreams, senior.”
I nodded, smiling at Kalt’s glaring gaze. I won’t stop talking, so keep talking.
“We need to rebuild the Valley of the Sword and gather trainees. We also need to gather swordsmanship teachers. Trainees can link up with the Empire’s Swordsmanship Academy… and there are plenty of teachers.”
Kalt laughed.
“If you recruit me, an orthodox member of the Galatrick style, Lark, who uses the Galatrick style of attack, and Kyle, a wizard with a sword that can split the sky in half, you won’t be short of teachers. It’s perfect.”
“···Raise monsters?”
“I’m just trying to carry out the will of the sword.”
Meaning of sword. Maintained by Galatric.
Kalt muttered and took a long breath.
“Isn’t it a waste of technology to be forgotten? We need to make it last so that the tree called Galatric can spread far into the future.”
“That’s cool.”
“Yes, it’s a wonderful thing. Just like the first swordsman, Galatric, and like my teacher, Kuntel, I also want to teach someone the sword.”
“I tried it, but teaching it wasn’t easy.”
“At least I think I can teach you better than my senior.”
I burst out laughing.
Teaching others is not that easy. I depicted the story Kalt told in a little detail. A landscape where the collapsed Sword Canyon is rebuilt, and something new begins among things that have ended.
Probably, it would definitely be a nice view.
Now that I think about it, I think Uncle Kuntel had that dream too. I remembered Uncle Kuntel, who had drunkenly mumbled that if he were to defeat Ganicalt with his own hands, he would rebuild the Valley of the Sword.
“······.”
I glanced at Kalt without saying a word.
Did he inherit Uncle Kuntel’s sword, inherit Yuji, and finally, inherit his dream? I overlapped Mr. Kuntel with Kalt, who was talking about the following.
“It’s a good dream.”
“Is that so?”
“Well, apart from that, I think it would be a good idea to find more teachers. If I leave you three alone, all the new swordsmen will twist and fall down, right?”
“That’s also true.”
Kalt laughed bitterly.
Kalt is aware of the fact that he is extraordinary. Moreover, when it comes to Lark and Kyle… there’s no need to say anything.
“Try hard.”
I let out a long breath and stood up.
“Are you going?”
“Don’t show up to see me off. I heard you have a lot of work to do.”
“I didn’t even mean to do it, senior.”
Look at this guy.
I chuckled and took out a document from my pocket. If you see this, you won’t be able to treat me like that.
“take it.”
“What is it? Is it happening again?”
“Be quiet and just read.”
With a deep sigh, Kalt picked up the document.
I suppressed a laugh and watched Kalt check the documents.
“···uh?”
Kalt’s eyes widened as he read the document.
The guy looked at me and the document back and forth in disbelief, then gasped and said, “Whoa, whoa.”
“No, what is this…”
“I told you. I promised.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
The thing Kalt was reading now was a document for a comprehensive building to be built in the capital’s yolk land. Of course, the owner of that building was Kalt, not me.
“It’s land owned by the imperial family, and it’s the center of the newly expanded capital. Why, you know Letharn Square? It’s a big square in the center of the capital.”
“I know. Isn’t the land the most expensive?”
“Yes, there. The place where the building written on the document you are looking at now is going up is what will be called the second Letharn Square in the expanded capital.”
Kalt’s eyes moved quickly.
I continued talking while he was checking the documents.

“As the capital expands, several more squares will be created, and that is the largest square. You understand at this point, right?”
“Huh, huh…”
Your eyes are wide open, right? This guy.
It’s good land there. It’s a land where you can’t live even if you pay money.
Kalt gasped and covered his mouth. Her eyes were so bright that she looked like she was about to shed a tear. Well, since he is a guy who is very interested in real estate, he must have recognized the value of that land at a glance.
That place is the first development area of the newly expanded capital city and a model land for the expansion of the capital city. This is the first large-scale national project being implemented after Cartedia became an empire, so it cannot fail if it fails.
“Oh my god… senior…”
Kalt slowly raised his head and looked at me.
Those eyes sparkled a little too much.
“Have you forgotten your promise?”
“Every time I forget, you lie down screaming in my ear, how can I forget?”
“Damn it, senior…”
Kalt looked up to me.
The respect dripping from his eyes made me feel like my way of looking at him had changed a lot. Anyway, with this, I have kept my promise.
“Then I’m going.”
This is the moment when you take the first step.
Kalt quickly got up and ran out without me having time to stop him, unfolded the coat I had taken off and wrapped it around my shoulders. Then, he opened the door to his office and saluted me at a sharp angle.
“Take a look, senior!”
You said you didn’t even have any intention of seeing me off earlier.
“Crazy guy.”
I laughed and tapped Kalt on the shoulder.
“work hard.”
“Yes, senior!”
“What are you going to do from now on? Well, maybe…”
“What are you worried about, Kyle? Of course it’s a wedding.”
Sarah interrupted Kyle.
“It’s all over. We should have a wedding. It’ll be grand. Where should we have the ceremony? Of course, the center of the capital would be better, right?”
“Well, I’m a little worried…”
“What’s there to worry about? All Kyle needs to worry about is where he’s going on his honeymoon.”
We were chatting while eating food at a restaurant, and Kyle looked like he couldn’t tell whether what was going into his mouth was meat or vegetables. It looks like Sarah was bothered quite a bit.
I chuckled and reached under the table and whacked Kyle’s shin. In the sense of coming to your senses.
“Ugh,” I shrugged, looking at Kyle who was moaning. It looks good. You reap what you sow, you bastard. I opened my mouth while tearing into the meat.
“Well, now that everything is over, we should have a wedding. Isn’t this a national wedding-level event for you? There will be another festival after the festival.”
“It’s a little burdensome.”
“The guy who enjoyed this kind of thing is now here?”
“You’re not a hero anymore, are you?”
Kyle has become somewhat more frugal since losing his starlight and calling himself a prosecutor. Well, these things must feel like a burden to the guy he is now. But to be honest, it wasn’t my business.
“So the wedding is a joint event?”
I pointed the fork to either side of Kyle.
I asked a question, glancing at the debauched warrior with a saint on one arm and a shrine on the other.
“Aren’t you two posting this together?”
“···I’m not ready yet.”
Remia, who was sitting to Kyle’s right, glanced away. Her waiting ears were bright red. Remia muttered in a hushed voice, unable to even raise her head as if she were embarrassed.
“It’s a little early to get married. I’m not ready yet.”
In response to Remia’s answer, Sarah made an expression that said, ‘I guess you’ll say that~’, and my expression wasn’t much different from Sarah’s. The kites who did everything they could, biting and sucking, are now here and doing it all again…?
“Well, I’ll at least look at the officiating when the ceremony is held.”
“No need. Seriously.”
“I do not need it.”
“It’s still a long way off, but I don’t need it either.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Kyle, Remia, and Sarah answered almost simultaneously. Seeing that you people are so quick to refuse, I will definitely be the officiant. I smiled while promising that.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
“Marriage.”
What is this deja vu?
My expression turned sour in an instant.
“First, I plan to find this person’s prosthetic arm, and then hold the wedding. I plan to think about whether to hold the wedding in the north or the capital.”
Natida was smiling, arm in arm with Rak.
“Prosthetic arm? No regeneration?”
“I tried, but it seems like the sword strike left behind by the King of Demonic Beasts cut off the flow of my arm and soul. It can’t be regenerated, so I guess I’ll have to replace it with a prosthetic arm.”
“It’s complicated.”
“and···.”
Natida glanced at Rak.
Lark smiled and opened his mouth as if he was troubled.
“I think I’ll leave this scar behind too.”
“okay?”
“Yes, it is a sign of winning a fight with a warrior.”
If it’s Lark himself, well.
“You can go to Cardi for the prosthetic arm. There is no alchemist as skilled as him. I’ll tell you in advance.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“Master,” Natida called me.
After I took her out of the church, she seemed to regard me as her benefactor. When she was my aide, she called me warrior, but now that everything was over, she called me teacher again.
‘Now that I think about it, Natida has changed a lot too.’
Suddenly, I remembered Natida when I first met her.
There was a saint who was ruined by drugs, hurting her own body, and cursing the world with unfocused eyes. But now Natida was smiling happily, like girls of that age usually do.
“Congratulations on your wedding in advance. Natida, Rak.”
It was a good thing. really.
“Belnoir, try some of this.”
“I have arms too.”
“Be quiet and eat.”
“I have arms too?”
Guys.
“Ah, senior. Just a moment… Belnoa, open your mouth.”
“Chloe, I have arms too…”
Guys, I’m talking now.
“I asked what you guys are going to do from now on.”
Only then did Chloe put down the cake she was pushing into Belnoir’s mouth. Belle Noah opened her mouth, wiping the cream from the corners of her mouth.
“It looks like I will be inheriting the Black Magic Tower. Yetual, that guy has made all the preparations.”
“Black Magic Tower?”
“Yes, he added a magic faction to the Black Magic Tower, built a branch tower, and entrusted me with managing it. I think he will probably be called back to the main tower and take over as the lord of the magic tower when it grows large enough… I’ll have to work hard.”
Belnoa seemed to have been designated as the next Mage Tower lord of the Black Mage Tower as Yetual’s successor. Belnoa didn’t seem to dislike him, and his relationship with Yetual seemed good.
‘I think we kept each other in check at first.’
At some point, Yetual seemed to have become Belnoa’s guardian and father figure. Well, that guy looks like a dark, dark person on the outside, but if you look at him, he’s just an ordinary good person.
“I think it would be similar for me.”
Chloe also nodded.
“While Belnoa manages the branch tower, I think I will learn how to manage the main tower under Uncle Yetual. He said that the next magic tower masters will be you two.”
I don’t think there have ever been two magic tower owners.
Well, it doesn’t matter since they seem to get along well.
“by the way.”
I glanced at the two people with bitter eyes.
From what I heard, it seems like they started dating right after the battle to subdue the madman ended, and perhaps because the fire was ignited late, things were pouring between them. It looked good, but it was so bad that my side hurt a little.
“Please refrain from going to public places.”
“···I’ll keep that in mind.”
“yes···.”
Looking at the situation, they will probably get married soon.
How many weddings are held? After counting with my palms open, I let out a long sigh.
“I plan to focus on managing the Magic Tower for the time being.”
The top floor of the Gray Magic Tower.
Resty sipped his drink and opened his mouth. Resty, perhaps intoxicated, began to talk grumpily.
“I’ve been away for a long time, so I need to catch up. These days, the atmosphere has become relaxed due to the festival, but aren’t the wizards the ones who have to work harder than anyone else now that Cartedia has become an empire?”
“yes.”
“It breaks my heart to see wizards wandering around without enough time to put their names on the national project and work hard to advance their careers.”
What do you know?
“Especially, there are a lot of magicians who go around festivals saying they are in a relationship. What is dating? It’s a waste of time. Tsk, dedicating your whole life to researching the Magic Tower isn’t enough… so you swear to dedicate half your life to each other? It’s so absurd. ”
“That’s right. A wizard’s companion is magic. Even if you dedicate your whole life to magic, it’s not enough… What? Half of your life? Marriage?”
I clicked my tongue.
“I was very hungry.”
“That’s right. Anyway, things these days…”
“That’s why talented people like us don’t come out. The kids were basically full. In my time….”
We had a drink and talked.
“As expected, you are a senior.”
“As expected, you are my junior. I learned a lot from you.”
There’s only you, Resty.
This was once my office, but no one remembers me here anymore. Because the gray magic tower lord was Resty Eleanoa, not Raniel Van Trias.
“It’s nice to talk to you after a long time.”
Resty put down his drink and laughed.
Easy-going and light.
The wizard who was afraid of his own talent and shrugged his shoulders at the gaze of others was not there. I smiled as I looked at the gray magic tower lord Resti Eleanoa, who had come to reign over the wizards with her shoulders proudly straightened.
“You grew up well.”
“I’m sure the elder thinks so too, right?”
“You will. I’m sure you will.”
Clink, we clinked our glasses together.
