Aside from the suddenness of Edward’s request, the request itself was not difficult, so those present reviewed him positively.
There was no reason to refuse.
Edward’s company is not just his personal business. The stronger the power of EW, the greater the influence shareholders can have on the continent.
For others, it was that reason, and for Elric, it was a more personal reason.
“I made a promise to support him at the next general shareholders’ meeting.”
“Is this what happened when you left Weibin?”
“… “I’m sorry.”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
It was dinner that evening.
Elric suddenly realized that the word ‘I’m sorry’ was stuck in his mouth.
It was something that could not be helped.
As I opened up, I often found myself ruminating about the past, because 99 times out of 100, it was my fault.
Tyria laughed slightly.
Elric noticed and held Tyria’s hand tightly.
It was that kind of moment.
“Do you have anything to say about the second all-out war?”
Tyria spoke in a slightly sad tone.
A bitter smile appeared on Elric’s lips.
“I’m sorry about this too. “You can’t be left out of that.”
“It’s probably because of the Geomje system.”
“He will move the moment I leave the battlefield. Because his purpose is mine.”
“Yes, I know.”
Tyria held Elric’s hand tightly.
The worried look still remained.
However, what could be called anger was shaking his tone a little.
“How can a human being be so vicious?”
“I think the same thing.”
“I hate him as much as the matriarch. If you think about it, this is the third time. “He took the family head away from me.”
“hmm?”
“The first day he climbed the mountain, he took only the head of the family with him. Secondly, because of the swordsmanship he taught her, the head of the family decides to head to the battlefield. And this was the third time recently. Because of his tyranny, the head of the family left Wibin.”
Is that how it happens?
Elric felt like laughing.
She was genuinely angry, but her logic had a childlike aspect to it, which was uncharacteristic of her and cute.
“Anyway, this is someone I don’t like.”
“I didn’t know you had that side to you.”
“… “What do you mean?”
“It’s cute.”
I felt like my body was twisting as I spoke, but it was joy.
The two people’s eyes met.
The corners of my mouth rose for no reason, and the distance became closer.
They say the first time is difficult for anything.
side-
After the second time it was so easy.
So much so that my lips never dry.
*
The morning of the second game was bright.
In the barracks, as in the first game, the air was filled with tension.
Even though they had already achieved one victory, there was no way that would last forever.
“Strategically, this second game is more important. This isn’t about taking over a fortress. “The goal of this battle is to push the entire front forward and tie down the empire.”
Command Center, Elbers continued speaking coherently.
“If we win this battle, our camp will be on the defensive for a while. “We have to stop the empire’s troops and kill them.”
Even though it had entered the phase of an all-out war, this did not mean that a change in defensive posture was impossible.
Does it need to be said twice that victory achieved without fighting is the most valuable?
The most important thing on the battlefield is supplies.
If this all-out war cuts off the Empire’s supply route, the Alliance will be able to stop and kill the Empire just by maintaining the front line.
It was an opportunity that would never come again.
That was the reason why Edward held a shareholders’ meeting during the war and scheduled it for after the second war.
“We have to win. “It’s a battle that can be won.”
Elric nodded at Elbus’ words.
‘In terms of military power, we have the upper hand.’
Unlike the first game, five of the seven semifinals will participate from the start.
In contrast, the Empire’s only core force, Geomje, is silent.
Of course, we cannot ignore the power of the empire itself and its military discipline.
An empire is an empire.
That was the reason why the war was not over yet even though the Geomje remained silent, and it was also the reason why the kingdoms had to unite.
“I’ll end the explanation of the situation here.”
Elbers clapped his hands.
Soon he spoke in a confident voice.

“As always, come out victorious.”
Elric stood up and answered.
“Say the obvious.”
After leaving the command center, Elric arrived at his barracks, which was guarded by the Seolyeong Knights.
Tyria was there.
“Are you going?”
“exactly.”
Tyria’s hand overlapped Elric’s hand.
Anxiety was written all over her face.
It was strange.
It was very strange to see her looking worried at Elric, who had only seen people who were afraid of participating in the war.
It wasn’t that I didn’t like it.
On the contrary, it was something that warmed my heart.
“Don’t worry. I don’t die. “It’s because the Geomje is not on the battlefield.”
“one… .”
“Even if it’s okay. I didn’t see it. “The way I fight.”
“That’s why I’m worried.”
Tyria’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Because you fight without taking care of your body.”
Elric laughed.
My insides were so itchy.
“Then I promise.”
“What promise do you mean?”
“I will come back without a single scratch. “If you don’t, you can hit me with that stick.”
Tyria laughed as if she were helpless, then lowered her head and took a breath.
It seemed like an act of calming down.
The answer came only after that.
“It’s a promise. please… .”
She said that and hugged Elric.
Elric answered.
“I don’t think I’ll ever have to use a cane on my wife. “I will come back.”
So he left for the battlefield.
[Advance!]
The battle continued non-stop for two days.
Elric was at the forefront as the front line was being pushed.
Five out of seven lectures.
An overwhelming power difference produces overwhelming results.
The allied camp succeeded in pushing forward and fortifying the front line as originally intended.
Elric’s sword was finally sheathed.
‘hmm.’
The battle continued while standing on two legs without allowing a single attack from the enemy.
The restoration was satisfactory, but the results were disappointing.
‘There’s a scratch on the back of your hand.’
The skin was rough and scratched.
The whipping seemed inevitable.
*
It was a perfect victory.
There was a rare bright atmosphere on the front line, and the two people were facing each other in the barracks.
“… “It was scratched by a stone.”
“A promise is a promise.”
Tyria was holding out her whip and glaring at Elric with a sad expression.
The reason for this structure was no different.
From Tyria’s point of view, she wanted Elric to be a little more alert.
“Even though I made such a firm promise, I got scratched. “It is a bad habit for the head of a family to make promises that cannot be kept.”
“But what really hurt me was… .”
“Making excuses first is something only children do. If you are an adult, you must be responsible for your words.”
“… .”
Even if it is just a scratch on a rock, an injury is an injury.
It’s good to be back safely, but this was an issue about the reliability of the horse.
Tyria had been anxious for the past two days, wondering if Elric would return injured from the battlefield.
There was clearly a reason for that anxiety.
“Isn’t it true that you hurt your knee when you went out there with so much confidence?”
“Before I reunited with my wife… .”
“It’s just work, but it’s an incident that proves that even the head of the family can get hurt.”
Tyria’s whip was heard.
“Put your palm on it.”
When I spoke bluntly, Elric laughed lightly.
“I understand. “It’s a promise, so I have to keep it.”
He put his hands together politely and held them out in front of him.
Tyria found that relaxed attitude disgusting.
It’s the 7th round anyway, so even if you get hit, it won’t hurt.
For some reason, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was the only one who was worried.
“I will hit you hard.”
“As long as it doesn’t put too much strain on your wife’s shoulders.”
“… “Don’t regret it.”
“My tongue is disgusting.”
Tyria’s lips were pursed.
The corners of his eyes perked up.
The cane was only swung later.
It was right after.
slap!
“100 million?!”
Elric screamed and jumped loudly.
Then he jumped up and rubbed his palms together quickly.
“Ugh, evil… What is this… !”
His eyes turned to the whip.
Tyria was equally embarrassed.
‘This, this…’ .’
What on earth is going on?
How could I hurt the head of the family with my own power?
There was something the two thinking people did not know.
It was about the function of the whip.
Herein lies the true value of ‘the most favorite cane of the professors of the Imperial Academy.’
Usually, students who are talented enough to come to the Imperial Academy do not feel the pain of an ordinary cane.
However, if there is no pain, it is not corporal punishment.
What was invented with that idea in mind was this ‘whip that ignores physical force and only evokes the sensation of pain.’
Human malice is so deep.
“What on earth did that guy give you?!”
Elric, who spoke in confusion, did not know.
A second function hidden in the whip.
‘Me, what am I…? !’
Tyria felt embarrassed by the coolness she felt the moment the whip hit Elric’s palm.
Yes.
The whip has the function of ‘strengthening the sense of hitting’.
I had to calm my excited breathing.
Tyria seemed like she was about to wake up to something bad.
