Episode 169
There was no one.
at that time.
Kwaaang-!!
Elizabeth slammed her fist on the table.
All the elders are surprised, and some of them even fall backwards.
“I will not hesitate to fight again.”
“… … .”
“Does anyone know what war is?”
If we are talking about the dictionary meaning, there is no one here who cannot answer about war.
But Elizabeth would never have asked that.
“War is about killing people.”
“… … .”
“I killed my first person when I was 11, and I haven’t been to war since.”
Ron’s momentum grew sharper and sharper.
Elizabeth’s momentum also sharpened.
“But now I don’t intend to live so leniently. War is about killing people, and if there’s something I have to kill, I won’t hesitate. Because I decided to become a marquis, I decided to take charge of this territory, and I promised to take responsibility for its people.”
Elizabeth’s sharp eyes, like blades, scanned the area.
“I won’t back down. So, if there’s anyone who wants to quit and leave the territory right now, tell me. I’ll kill you all at once for the crime of exploiting the territory’s people and never stopping the previous Marquis’s actions.”
“… … .”
“I guess there aren’t any? Then, I will give the order.”
Ron slowly put the sword away, and Elizabeth smiled leisurely again.
“We’re going to get the construction started. We’re going to build a new wall to surround the County of Mantis and the Marquisate of Valanti, and we’re looking for volunteers.”
“If you are an applicant… … ?”
“The poor. If they have no jobs and no food, give them jobs and a chance to buy food. And tear down the slums on the outskirts of the Marquisate and create new districts there.”
“What… … Earth are you talking about?”
Elizabeth was unstoppable.
“It’s an arts district. From musicians to theater people. We’re going to create a district where they can come and make the residents laugh.”
“… … .”
“And we’re also reclaiming the wasteland. Wow, there’s a lot to do.”
Elizabeth said so, and ended it that way.
“Don’t worry about the money. I’ll send it all to you today. But, didn’t you all hear what I said?”
“……yes?”
“Since you didn’t answer, I thought I was talking to myself. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
All the elders.

Shouted with one heart and one mouth.
“I obey your orders!!”
So the meeting ended.
Elizabeth left the conference room first, with Ron following behind her.
Managing the estate.
It’s never easy.
In addition, the Mantis County has now been integrated.
Elizabeth really.
I was busy.
but.
She laughed.
As if a bird has just hatched from an egg and is smiling brightly.
To Elizabeth and Ron, Gonzalez approaches in a hurry.
“Your Majesty the Third has awakened.”

After calming the kids down, I went up to the rooftop with my teacher.
dawn.
It was still very early in the morning, before the rooster had even crowed, and the sun was slowly rising over the mountain.
In the room earlier, he immediately brought up the question that he couldn’t ask.
“By the way, do those clothes fit your size?”
[It’s pretty much right. Other than the chest area being a little tight, there’s no particular discomfort.]
And then he adds:
[Oddly enough, your sister is about the same size as me. Walking around naked isn’t that bad.]
It makes my heart ache to see you speak so casually.
No, I don’t think so.
“By any chance, after you return to your original form… … .”
The teacher chuckles.
[Were you naked the whole time?]
“No?”
The teacher smiles meaningfully.
[What do you think?]
I also laughed meaningfully.

“You seem to be talking a lot, so I think you must be feeling a little guilty. Are you really walking around naked? Like an exhibitionist?”
Bam-
The master’s index finger pushes my forehead.
[There is nothing I cannot say to my teacher.]
He rubbed his reddened forehead.
If it were our teacher, he would have realized long ago that I was joking.
It’s a joke, but still a little bit… … a little bit serious.
therefore.

I asked if you kept walking around naked.
Just as I was about to ask that, the teacher spoke.
[When I was in the cave, I was naked. It was comfortable.]
“So?”
[I’m still comfortable naked, but I think it’d be better to wear clothes.]
Then he turns his head slightly.
Over there, Abeiro, who had run up to the rooftop in a panic after hearing the news, was looking at his teacher with an expression as if he was possessed by something.
Then their eyes met, and Aveiro sank to the ground.
That guy, no.
That guy.
Looking at the reaction.
I guess you saw it.
That too, in great detail.
This kid.
I’ll see you later.
The teacher said to me like that.
[So, isn’t it time to tell me now?]
The teacher’s voice seemed to have become a little more serious.
So I told him.
The dream I had before, and the dream I have now.
The master, who heard the whole story, was very.
It was just organized very neatly.
[There’s a clue.]
“A clue?”
[If you didn’t see the ‘future’ of the era you’re living in now, but rather saw what would happen after you die in your ‘past life’ before you regressed, wouldn’t this definitely be a clue?]
I leaned my back against the railing.
hmm…….
“It’s ambiguous.”
[Well, what’s the point of being ambiguous? In your previous life, you died, and after that time, someone made you a Death Knight. But you, a transcendent being, wouldn’t have been controlled by someone just because you became a Death Knight. That’s the extent of your vessel.]
I slowly crossed my arms.
It’s not for nothing that I said it was ambiguous.
[The sky was dyed black… … It smelled like the dead, and if it was similar to your aura, then you were probably the one who made it. In terms of time, the prophecy you just saw was the first one to happen, and the first prophecy you saw happened after that. It’s definitely interesting.]
The teacher slightly raised his hand and pushed my forehead away.
[No matter how I look at it, even if you become a Death Knight, it doesn’t seem like you’ll destroy the world. Just.]
“just?”
[… … you might have fought with someone. For example.]
“For example?”
[Eastern Continent.]
He rested his chin on his crossed arms.
this.
It’s something I’ve never mentioned before.
There is a reason why it wasn’t mentioned.
I don’t even know what’s on the Eastern Continent.
Even the teacher doesn’t know.
[It could be that ‘something’ invaded from the Eastern Continent, and you fought against it. The important thing here is.]
Oh, really.
Advertisements
Our teacher’s way of speaking has become a little strange.
Please interrupt me whenever something important happens.
[Your energy covered the sky.]
He kept his mouth shut.
I know what you are trying to say, Master.
[Didn’t we call it the Four Seasons before?]
I’m talking about the latter 4th form of the spirit sword.
[No matter how I look at it, it seems like you, now that you’ve become a Death Knight, have used that technique called the Four Seasons with all your might.]
That means.
[It’s really interesting that there are people on the Eastern Continent who are as strong as you, or that there are forces so strong that you have to draw out their power.]
The teacher was really interested.
To be honest.
I’m a little interested too.
What could it be?
What on earth is on the Eastern Continent?
Looking at the current situation, I think we’ll find out soon enough.
Oh, really.
Is this also a kind of calm before the storm?
It’s really ambiguous.
[It’s so ambiguous.]
I guess the teacher thought the same thing as me.
[A prophecy of destruction… … How interesting. No matter how I look at it, it seems like you and I are the only ones who can prevent that destruction, but I’m curious at this point. Will that prophecy really come true? No, can it come true?]
“To check that, I have to keep falling down, but how do I keep falling down?”
The teacher chuckled.
[When coincidences overlap, it becomes inevitability, and when inevitability overlaps, it becomes fate. So.]
“Get ready?”
[okay.]
“But, what is there to prepare for? It’s over once you get older.”
The teacher bursts into laughter.
[That’s true too.]
At that moment, a noise was heard from the entrance.
It was Ron and his sister.
The teacher, who had been laughing, stopped laughing and spoke quietly.
[Death Knight… … Surprisingly, the clue will be nearby.]
Come to think of it, our teacher wasn’t worried even though I became a Death Knight.
As if you knew something.
And now.
Our teacher’s gaze was fixed on Ron, not on his sister.
[I really don’t know whether to call it a coincidence or fate.]
He tilted his head.
Oh, really.
“Why are you suddenly talking nonsense by yourself?”
[… … .]
Chapter 8
How about this and how about that?
Either I become a Death Knight or the world ends.
It’s not something that will happen right now anyway.

worry?
Why do you do that?
As I said before, in the case of a prophecy about rain falling from the sky, if the sky is completely blocked or erased, the rain will not fall.
In which area does the conflict occur?
If you go to that area and fight, you can just threaten them and they will lose.
Prophecy is not absolute.
therefore.
You can just block things like prophecies.
As long as I don’t die, that’s fine, right?
In my previous life, I really wanted to die, so I died.
I don’t think that will ever happen in this lifetime.
We have children, older sisters, and teachers.
Why should I die?
haha.
I just burst out laughing.
[Why are you laughing?]
“I just thought it was funny.”
[Interesting idea?]
“If, if.”
The teacher looks at me with an interested expression.
What on earth are you trying to say? That’s what your expression is like.
“When I face death, will Master be there?”
[… … What does it mean?]
He shrugged.
just.
It doesn’t really mean anything.
“I used to think like this when I was young.”
[which?]
“I wish my death was more valuable than my life… … That’s what I think.”
The teacher, who was cutting the steak, stopped in that position and looked at me.
Ron, who was grilling meat, looks at me with a gloomy face.
“master…….”
Then, my older sister, who had been quietly taking a bite of meat, put the meat down without saying a word.
Oh, really.
“What’s wrong? If someone saw me, they’d think I was dead.”
As I said before, I was treated like an insect, not a human being, by this writer.
The incident where you were locked in a warehouse when you were 7?
That’s a drug.
Even though it’s a minor issue, Ron over there still remembers that incident.
Advertisements
Because.
When that happened, Ron had followed Peylon to Count Mantis’ house.
After more than a week had passed and Ron had arrived at the Marquis, he finally learned that I was missing and began to blame himself for the fact that I had almost starved to death.
When I saw Ron crying, I cried too.
no way.
Okay.
You’re talking too much about the past.
By the way.
“What do you think, Master?”
[What are you talking about?]
“Would my death really be worth more than my life?”
The teacher chuckles.
[Don’t you know better?]
I ended up laughing too.
“Is that so?”
