I am not a regressor episode 291
Interlude – Banquet (1)
“Okay then, everyone raise your glasses.”
Leoru raises his glass with a heavy expression.
He glanced around at the silver-maned tribe gathered around him.
Silver-maned tribal warriors with bandages tied all over their bodies came forward and raised their drinks one by one.
The place they are heading to is a tomb built on one side of the village.
It was the place where the warriors who died fighting the Majin faction in this rebellion were buried.
“The first drink is for the warriors who left.”
A drink is poured over a grave with a tombstone erected on it.
Clear liquor flowed down like tears and wetted the tombstone.
“The second cup is for the warriors who couldn’t leave.”
The injured people filled their glasses and gulped them down.
There were warriors who were so seriously injured that they could not even lift their drinking glasses properly, but they all poured strong alcohol down their throats as if they did not care.
“The last drink is for ourselves.”
The villagers drank together at the same time.
Among them were young beastmen like Leo and Liru, but they drank strong alcohol with their eyes tightly closed.
Leoru looked back at the Silver Mane clan and opened his mouth quietly.
“For the past hundred years, our tribe has been deprived of its home and lived in fear and hunger.”
As if the sadness had exploded, the number of silver-maned tribes shedding tears began to increase one by one.
“but!”
Coo!
Leoru stomped his foot roughly, attracting attention.
“No matter how much the demons plundered our lives, they couldn’t take even one thing from us!”
Light shone in the eyes of the silver-maned tribesman who was shedding tears at his passionate voice.
“Warriors who have maintained their pride as wolves! “I’m more proud of you guys than anyone else!”
I raised the clinking glass of wine high.
“I will declare it here!”
A hot roar rang out.
“The Silver Mane clan… No, all the beast people have finally been liberated from the demon people! “I have become a proud wolf!”
Waaaaaa!
The whole village was filled with cheers.
Leoru watched with warm eyes the villagers shedding tears of joy and hugging each other, and as time passed and the shouting died down, he opened his mouth.
“It’s a shame, but liberation from the demons was not achieved solely through our own efforts.”
Leoru moved away from the podium and gave Ojin a look.
Oh Jin walked up to the podium with an embarrassed expression.
“This is the great warrior who pierced the heart of the vicious Caliche.”
Leoru introduced Ojin to the villagers who did not participate in the battle.
Oh Jin slightly lowered his head as he felt countless eyes on him.
“If the brave warriors of the Silver Mane Tribe had not fought at the forefront, we would not have been able to kill Kalyke.”
It wasn’t just a remark made to show humility.
If the warriors of the Silver Mane Tribe had not defeated two demons before Ojin arrived at the castle, it would have been impossible for Ojin to fight three demons at the same time with his own strength.
“The Silver Mane Tribe will never forget the kindness we received from Mr. Ojin.”
Leoru bowed deeply towards Ojin and showed respect.
“You two, please come up.”
Leoru looks back at Ha-eun and Isabella.
“Eh? Ooh, us too?”
“Aren’t they the benefactors who protected the villagers who were almost taken hostage?”
“Okay.”
Ha-eun and Isabella also came up to the stage due to Leoru’s strong attitude.
Leoru looked around for Riak, but he was nowhere to be seen.
“As you all know, these people are the benefactors who saved the village from the hands of the evil demons while the tribe’s warriors were away.”
Waaaaaa!
Once again, loud cheers erupted.
The Silver Mane Tribe, who were initially wary of Ojin and his party as foreigners, welcomed Naruto with the same enthusiasm as the Leaf Village ninja who welcomed him as Hokage.
“uh… “Well, that is.”
Ha-eun scratches her head as if feeling burdened by the cheers pouring in from around her.
Isabella stepped forward on behalf of Ha-eun.
She bowed her head towards Leoru with a graceful movement and opened her mouth.
“If it weren’t for the kindness of the chief who kindly welcomed strangers, we wouldn’t have achieved our goal.”
Isabella smiles brightly and beautifully.
“Thank you for inviting me to this banquet.”
The beastman tribe was agitated by its beautiful appearance, which was awe-inspiring.
“We have plenty of food and alcohol available, so please enjoy it comfortably.”
Leoru smiled slightly and nodded.
Another round of cheers erupted, and Ohjin and his group went down the stage amidst cheers.
“and… .”
Leoru’s gaze turned to the other side.

Outside the village, several tribes gathered, including the Black Mane Tribe, the Brown Mane Tribe, and the Red Mane Tribe.
They were all members of the ‘anti-Main faction’ that resisted the rule of the Mains.
Although they did not fight against the Demon tribe head on like the Silver Mane tribe, they were the ones who helped behind the scenes, such as secretly freeing the Silver Mane tribe who had been sold to the Demon tribe and treated like slaves, and providing supplies to the village that were lacking.
Representatives from each tribe came out one by one and stood in front of Leoru.
“The Black Mane Tribe will recognize Leoru, the wolf of the Silver Mane Tribe, as ‘Khan.’”
“The Red Mane Tribe will recognize Leoru, the wolf of the Silver Mane Tribe, as ‘Khan.’”
“The Brown Mane Tribe will recognize Leoru, the wolf of the Silver Mane Tribe, as ‘Khan.’”
They straightened their backs and struck their chests three times with their clenched fists.
Leoru looked back at the anti-Main faction’s beastmen and nodded slightly.
“We have been fooled by the vicious tongues of the demons and pitted our teeth against each other, but we are all proud beastmen with the same wolf blood flowing through our veins.”
Although Kalyke and the Majins who followed him died, there still remained a pro-Mains faction within the kingdom that had enjoyed power on the side of the Majins.
In order to purge them and rebuild the kingdom, it was necessary to prevent conflicts among the remaining beastmen as much as possible.
However, no matter how anti-Main tribe the faction was, the emotional rift between the different tribes was deep.
So this banquet was prepared.
Dancing and chatting while drunkenly makes up for the emotional rift that has deepened over the years.
“Today is the day of liberation, when the beast people regained their freedom for the first time in a hundred years!”
There are still many unresolved issues.
No, it’s just unresolved issues.
At least for today.
“Let’s forget everything and get drunk!”
Waaaaaa!
The banquet began with loud cheers.
* * *
As the strong smell of alcohol wafted from the village, the banquet began.
A man with silver hair was standing tall in the forest a little ways away.
“… ha.”
A man sighing deeply.
Riak looked down at the grave of his old friend and chewed his lips.
“You idiot.”
He cursed in a somber voice and placed his hand on the tombstone erected in front of the grave.
“Is it okay for a guy named Khan to die and be buried in a place like this?”
Originally, the beast people who inherited the name ‘Khan’ would be buried in a place called the Warrior’s Tomb under the royal castle.
However, in the case of Horus, he was not buried in the warrior’s tomb because he did not officially inherit the name of Khan and surrendered to the demons and handed over the kingdom.
The place where he was buried was in a remote forest away from the royal castle.
This was the place where Horus was dragged out by Riak when he skipped class and ran away.
“Hmph, now that I think about it, such an unsightly tomb would be perfect for an idiot like you.”
Riak poured a bottle of alcohol he brought from the village onto the tombstone.
In less than a few seconds, the bottle of alcohol was empty.
“… … .”
A drop of water other than alcohol fell on the wet tombstone.
Riak’s shoulders trembled as he lowered his head.
“Hey, are you crying?”
“Whoosh!”
Riak suddenly raised his head and turned to where the voice came from.
Ohjin was seen trudging along, holding a bottle of alcohol in one hand.
“Yes, why did you come here?!”
“I came to watch you cum.”
“Ooh, I didn’t cry!”
Riak shook his head with an urgent expression.
Ojin burst into laughter and sat down next to him.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“… “What do you mean?”
“Even if I hand over Khan’s position to Leoru.”
“… … .”
The long-awaited liberation of the beast people was achieved.
You would want to remain Khan and see the kingdom that has restored peace.
“Isn’t there something more important left for me now than remaining Khan and leading the kingdom?”
“I don’t think anything will change just because you’re not there.”
“joy. “Don’t show off your clumsy bravado, kid.”
“Did you get caught?”
Oh Jin chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
After dealing with the Majins this time, I was able to realize that Riak was an indispensable force.
“The place I should be is next to Vega.”
Riak smiled slightly as he thought of the goddess.
“How’s Vega doing?”
“He is resting in the sanctuary. “You will be able to come back soon.”
“It seems like the restrictions of the law have really weakened.”
Originally, once you used a blessing, you had to stay in the sanctuary for several weeks.
Perhaps thanks to the weakening of the restrictions of the law, the period has been greatly shortened.
“Huh cha.”
Ojin put down the bottle of alcohol he had prepared and held out the empty glass to Riak.
Riak received a drink from Ojin.
Jang.
The two filled their drinks and clinked their glasses in silence.
“Wow Mr. Why are you so drunk?”
As I took a sip, the strong scent of alcohol spread into my mouth.
Riak looked at Ojin, who frowned and shook his head, and drank the alcohol in his glass in one go as if it was funny.
“Hehehe. “It looks like the traditional water of the beast people was a bit too much for him.”
“yes?”
“Alcohol is something you should use as much as your life.”
“Crazy old bastard.”
A laugh escaped Ojin’s mouth.
“Now that I think about it, this is the first time the two of us have been drinking together like this.”
“… “Didn’t it happen in your past life?”
“well?”
Oh Jin shrugs and fills his glass.
The two sat in front of Horus’s tomb and quickly emptied a bottle of alcohol.
“I guess I should go back soon.”
Ohjin stood up holding an empty liquor bottle.
Since he came without telling Ha-eun and Isabella, they must be looking for where he is right now.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I will stay a little longer.”
“okay?”
Ohjin nodded and turned around.
When I was about to go back to the village.
“bantling.”
Riak called out to Ojin, who turned around.
“why?”
“… … .”
Riak bows his head in silence.
He muttered in a voice that sounded like he was crawling.
“… “Thank you.”
“huh? what?”
“Ugh! “I said thank you!”
“Hmmmm~? I can’t hear you very well? “Can you say that again?”
“Oh, you little bastard!”
Riak fiercely opened his eyes and glared at Ojin.
Ojin burst into laughter and waved his hands.
“I’m going.”
“… … .”
Riak, left alone, looked up at the dark night sky.
In the night sky, a single star was shining brightly even in the darkness.
“… “Anyway, I’m similar to you when it comes to using your mind unnecessarily.”
Riak smiled as he looked at his friend’s gravestone.
* * *
After parting ways with Riak, Ojin headed straight to the village.
As if the banquet was in full swing, the voices of the drunken beastmen could be heard inside the village, talking loudly and loudly.
When you are walking and feeling the heated atmosphere on your skin.
“Oh Jin~? “Where are you?”
“Ojini, you bastard! “Where did you go, leaving your pretty sister behind?!”
As expected, he was able to find Ha-eun and Isabella looking for him.
However, their condition was not expected.
“… “Are you drunk?”
Ha-eun and Isabella, whose faces were red, discovered Oh Jin and came running.
Two women standing in front of Ojin.
Isabella glanced at Ha-eun and gave her a wink.
Even though Ha-eun was drunk, she blushed and turned her head as if she was embarrassed.
“Sister, come on. “We decided to do it together, right?”
“Boo, I’m embarrassed.”
Ha-eun hesitates with her twisted pronunciation.
“Then will I do it alone?”
Isabella took a step forward and raised her arms like a dog welcoming its owner who has returned from home.
“Woof~♬ Are you back, master?”
“… yes?”
Oh Jin opened his mouth wide at the line that made him doubt his ears.
Ha-eun, who was turning her head as if she was embarrassed, opened her mouth as if squeezing.
“Nya, meow. “Did you come back?”
“… … .”
What a crazy situation this is.
