It was an urgent report among urgent reports.
Even here in Weibin, which didn’t pay much attention to how things were going on the battlefield in the West, everywhere there was talk about the situation’s participation in the war.
The mansion was like that too.
“So what happens to the war in the West now?”
“Hey! What will happen when Geomje comes out? Of course the Empire wins!”
“If you put it that way, we don’t really know. “Aren’t the other 7 strong enough?”
“Wow, now the time has come when we don’t know about the Sword Emperor!”
There were mainly differences of opinion between generations.
Those who lived when Geomje was active were confident of his victory, while those younger than him predicted the deepening of the war.
There was one reason why opinions were so divided.
This is because one of the emperors whom Geomje defeated in the past was a knight who was no different from the master of the East.
The older people could hardly calm down due to the fear that the despair of that day would strike again.
“There will be no surprises. Isn’t that right, Rdio?”
“I think so too.”
The head maid and Rdio sighed deeply.
Elric watched the scene from his office window.
It was at that moment that Tyria opened her mouth.
“Maiju, Gaju, what do you think? Do you think the war in the West will end like this?”
“… “I don’t know.”
“That’s surprising. “Aren’t you always quick to talk about war?”
“The situation is that he is someone I have never met before while I was wandering around.”
A bitter smile appeared on Elric’s lips.
“Just because I am doesn’t mean I know everything.”
I do not know.
Also, I don’t want to know.
It had to be that way.
“I’m not from the East to begin with.”
This was because the answer that this uncomfortable feeling ultimately chose was to be by Tyria’s side.
Whether the war intensified or not, the desire to be by her side only grew stronger.
Even if it was selfish, I had nothing to say.
However, I can assure you that no one could force him to participate in the battlefield.
Anyway, wasn’t Kasha just a mercenary who participated in the war in exchange for money?
You can step out at any time if you want.
As the hope was, the future predicted was also optimistic and convenient.
‘The war may end with the unification of the West.’
Frankly, I had no interest in who would own the West.
If I had been sensitive to such things, I would have stayed with just one group and increased their power when I was a Kasha in the first place.
As a Kasha, my only interest was the most intense battlefield.
Also, now that I am an Elric, my interest is Wibin.
Elric, who was for Wibin, hoped that whoever won would just end the war in the West.
Once the war is over, Kasha will no longer be needed, so won’t she have anything to do with the battlefield?
Credon’s guess that the devil of the situation will spread to the eastern part of the country is literally just a guess.
No one will know until then.
‘An era of peace may come.’
Elric truly hoped so.
At that time, when I no longer have to become Kasha, this feeling of having a thorn in my throat might disappear.
Elric said while thinking.
“… Well, it’s a long story after all. Let us mind our own business.”
It ends with the inauguration ceremony.
At that time, whether willingly or unwillingly, Kasha would no longer appear in the world.
When talking about the inauguration ceremony, Tyria’s expression softened a little.
I could see satisfaction on her face.
Whenever I see that expression, I don’t know why, but a sense of stability fills me.
I just wish this moment would last forever.
‘There are only a few days left… .’
Suddenly, a feeling of impatience arose.
*
Preparations for the inauguration ceremony continued diligently.
Letters from guests from far and wide expressing their intention to attend were arriving at the mansion every day, and Weibin’s square was being decorated more extravagantly than usual.
There was a welcome guest among them.
“Leader! “No, now my lord?”
It was Lutton, a childhood friend who had been appointed as a knight in the neighboring fiefdom.
He hugged Elric with his usual arrogance.
“Your leg is completely healed! congratulations!”
“Thank you. “But you came really early.”
“I also took some time off. “You’re about to start farming now, so I’m going to help my parents with their work.”
“You have become a dutiful son.”
“Not like anyone else.”

“Because I don’t have parents to be filial to.”
“Oh my.”
Lutton shook his shoulders exaggeratedly.
Elric chuckled and hit his shoulder.
It was nice to have a friend who could make such excessive jokes without any problem.
The inauguration ceremony is already six days away.
My mind has been somewhat organized.
No, I should say that it has become easier to get distracted by things in the West.
The situation is still silent after conquering Disha, and the clash between the demon king and the saint has even been temporarily halted, so there is even less to worry about.
So I was able to act like I was fine in front of my friends.
“Hasn’t Wibin changed a bit?”
“That’s right. Oh, by the way, they also created a knighthood.”
“We still don’t have enough friends.”
“Please make a place for me too. “The contract ends next year.”
“Let’s consider it.”
Elric smiled and answered.
I guess I just need to worry about life here.
As I raised that thought, a future at Wibin suddenly appeared in my mind.
Next year, Lutton will become a knight of the Portman family.
The local residents who welcome you every time you head to the village will give you energy to live each day.
I will continue to try to become closer to Tyria, and the mansion will become a little brighter under her leadership.
In the meantime, a child may be born.
Spending the rest of my life teaching that child how beautiful Weibin is… .
“Leader?”
“… Oh, I’m sorry. “I was having random thoughts for a moment.”
“What’s going on? “Do you have any worries these days?”
“It’s nothing.”
Elric shook his head, embarrassed that he had suddenly become lost in other thoughts.
“Then I’ll go back to work. “You may rest in peace.”
“Ah oh. yes. “You must be busy because you are the lord.”
Thankfully, Lutton agreed without digging further.
Elric got into the carriage to return to the mansion.
“My lord! “If you need anything, let me know!”
Lutten waved his hand above his head.
After that, the village people also smiled brightly and sent warmth.
The idyllic spring scenery and warm people naturally relax my mind.
Elric tried to end his greeting with a small wave of his hand.
It was that moment.
“My lord!!!”
An eerily familiar face was stuck somewhere.
A man with black pigtails who makes a fuss and attracts all the attention of those around him.
‘Goldgong… ?’
Edward Whyte was jumping up and down in the crowd.
He was wearing an unusual beard disguise.
Elric’s eyes narrowed.
*
“Hey, Lord Juju is even taking office as a lord. How could Edward, the firebrand, be left out!”
These were the words Edward uttered as soon as he entered the living room of the mansion.
He was kneeling on the floor, leaving an intact sofa behind.
“We are giving you a reduction!!!”
thud!
There was something quite funny about hitting your head on the floor.
However, Elric was not in a good mood to smile.
“I know you don’t welcome coming to see me in person.”
Edward was startled when his voice was clearly filled with displeasure.
But that didn’t break his spirit.
“Oh, but you are our shareholder… .”
“Shouldn’t it look better that way? “Stop being so annoying.”
“that is… .”
From the sight of Edward breaking out in a cold sweat, Elric sensed that he was going to hear some bad news.
In conclusion, it was right.
“… “I mean, about the war.”
“Please go back.”
Elric suddenly got up from his seat.
I didn’t want to hear it.
My feeling was that I didn’t want to create more things to worry about.
But Edward didn’t seem to have the heart to let that go and immediately got up and shouted.
“alliance! “I came here because of the alliance matter!”
Standing tall, Elric’s steps stopped.
At that moment, Edward spoke rapidly.
“Due to circumstances, the four remaining kingdoms have formed an alliance! All-out war is just around the corner! “We need your power!”
This is news you never heard in the newspaper.
Confidential information that has not yet been disseminated.
Eyes turned to Edward.
“… “Who is the sponsor?”
“This is the 3rd prince. Prince Graham is assisting.”
I guess this was what the two had in mind.
There was definitely something that came to mind.
-I’m not just asking you for help. Perhaps the face of the battlefield will change. We will do our best to prevent the situation.
Is the plan to gather all the remaining members of the top 7 to confront the situation?
If you do that, your odds of winning will definitely be higher than they are now.
But, even more so.
“Please go back.”
There was no reason for him to get involved.
“Lord… ?”
“I don’t want to be involved in the war anymore. My part is already done. I now… .”
I was going to live for Weibin.
That will be the case as long as Tyria is here.
Elric cut off the conversation by closing his mouth, but his will was clearly conveyed to Edward.
He expressed his embarrassment, then scratched the back of his head and exhaled.
“… Yes, actually, it would be rude to say this to someone from the East. “I understand what you mean.”
He bowed his head, turned around, and trudged out.
I doubt they’ll just leave, but whatever happens, it’s a good thing.
Isn’t this one step further from war?
… I’m sure that’s the case.
‘Rotten… .’
I felt uncomfortable.
Somewhere on my body itched like crazy.
