Episode 339
Chapter 4
As soon as I sent Saxon on an errand, a man approached me.
A man with a thick face and many scars on his body, probably from having done some hard work.
It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen you.
hmm.
“Should I call you John Doe or should I call you Dynasty?”
The man smiles brightly.
“Please call me Dynastismo.”
He came to me and bowed his head.
And then he said this.
“thank you.”
Said.
For a while, Dynastismo stood there with his head bowed.
If you think about it, he was a really interesting man.
“Stop raising your head.”
“yes.”
“But you came alone? What about the mercenary branch leader at that time?”
What was the name?
The woman who said let’s have a beer later.
What was your name, Arbeloa?
“Are you talking about Jane?”
Her name was Jane.
“If it was Jane, I would have just left her in the manor.”
I ended up laughing a little.
“I guess you were really nervous.”
“Yes. Why would I lie? To be honest, I was really scared. The ‘Masters’ I saw back then were really… … no joke.”
“But now that the false accusations have been cleared, I guess the future is bright?”
Dynastismo laughs and scratches his head.
Oh, before that.
“Isn’t my name too long? I’d like to call you by a shorter name.”
The guy smiled brightly and answered right away.
“Please call me Demo.”
“Demo?”
“yes.”

“It’s a name that sounds like it would make you poop a lot.”
“……yes?”
“No, I just have a feeling that way, otherwise don’t worry.”
Demo shrugs.
I think he is a difficult person to understand, then and now.
More than that, the name of the mercenary group.
“You were a member of the Ground Ants mercenary group, right? I remember the food you ate back then being quite delicious. Did you come alone?”
“They’re not ground ants, they’re fire ants. And that mercenary group disbanded last month.”
“Disband? Why?”
“Well, at that time, the two of them went back to their hometown to start a chicken farm together. They were friends from the neighborhood. And the chef you mentioned got a job as a chef at Milos Academy. Didn’t you know?”
There’s no way I’d know every little thing.
“That’s fortunate though. That friend’s cooking skills are pretty good, and with that level of skill, he can feed the kids. So what are you going to do now?”
Demo laughs slightly.
“We have to go back to Tesla. Do you see this?”
As he spreads out his thick hand, the diamond ring hanging from it catches his eye.
“Are you married?”
“Not yet. We just got engaged.”
“With Jane Arbeloa?”
“yes.”
I ended up laughing.
“That’s great. When’s the wedding date?”
“It’s not decided yet. But I’m planning to catch you soon and have a meal together.”
He just held out his hand.
The quick-witted Demo took my hand, and we shook hands.
“When the date is set, send me an invitation too.”
“Oh. Are you coming? You must be busy with construction work.”
I let go of his hand slightly.
“Depending on the situation, if you have time, go. If not, don’t go. Don’t expect anything.”
“Yes. I will definitely send you an invitation.”
Leaving those words behind, Demo disappeared.
[It’s an invitation… … Are you really going?]
“If nothing comes up, I’ll go and see.”

[Interesting. Did that guy have a big influence on you?]
He shook his head.
“Not to that extent. It’s just, it’s my first time.”
[What?]
“I don’t know because the Master isn’t here, but I was planning on killing that guy back then. I thought he was related to Tulcan. But it wasn’t.”
[okay?]
“Yes. But after a few days, when all the requests were over, he asked me if I wanted to become a mercenary.”

[Oh.]
“I have rarely met anyone in my life who was truly ‘concerned’ about me, who threatened his own life. So I can go to a wedding. Wouldn’t that make the place shine even more if I went?”
The teacher looks at me with a face that seems to know something or not, and Ken, who has been quietly watching the area, looks at me with a similar expression.
He shrugged his shoulders and stretched out again.

Soon, Saxon, who had been sent on an errand, returned.
Charlotte and Benedict, whom it seemed like they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and… … Harold.
Hmm. Why did he come? I didn’t even call him.
The three of them looked at me and had the same reaction.
Wow, I was surprised.
Charlotte comes towards me and grabs my arm with one hand.
“boss…….”
“why?”
“Why? Are you… are you okay?”
I found myself smiling faintly at those words that were full of worry.
“It’s okay. Now that I think about it, it’s similar to that time.”
“When?”
“Don’t you remember when I slaughtered a dragon in Ascension?”
Charlotte’s expression changed strangely.
There’s no way I don’t remember.
Just as I consider the moment I met my teacher to be the best moment of my life.
That day, that moment, must have been the best moment of Charlotte’s life that changed her life.
“So, this time, Boss, did you save someone?”
“Well, it depends on how you take it, but I did get it.”
Unfinished.
Strictly speaking, I did save him, since I caught and killed the 2nd dark force of the continent.
Charlotte seemed to have her own interpretation.
After a brief moment of reunion, he said:
What Thanos did and what is the situation now.
Those who already knew and those who were surprised as if they didn’t know.
It was diverse.
And he told them why he had called them here.
“We’ll take a carriage from here and go through the Forest of Demons.”
“ah…….”
“The group going is our teacher, me, you, and the Saxon base here. Did you say hello in advance?”
“yes.”

“And Ken Boris and Benedict over there, Harold? Why are you here?”
“… … Someone told me to follow you to the rooftop.”
Then he glances at Saxon, who grins as if nothing is wrong.
“Your Majesty. I am a great warrior even though I am like this. I will be ‘employed’ at the academy soon, but shouldn’t I organize the rankings before that?”
Judging from the way he smiles, he’s definitely different from other kids.
There is no such thing as Torai.
“You can figure that out later, but anyway, it’s been a while.”
As I offered my hand, Harold took my hand in his thick one.
“Yes. It’s been almost a month. Besides, unless my eyes are faulty, you look very tired now. Should I send you some elixir?”
“That would be great. I was going to tell Roland, but I’ll tell you too. I got the ship and the food.”
Harold scratches his head.
“Well, that’s natural if you pay off your debt. Don’t worry about it.”
I ended up laughing faintly.
“Have you heard of the green light correction device?”
“Of course. By any chance… … .”
“Oh, right. Let’s try selling that too. Not now, but maybe in two weeks.”
Harold nods.
“And I don’t care if you two are partners, but you can do that later. It’s crazy.”
“… … Yes, I will do that.”
Harold glances at Saxony for a moment and then takes a step back.
“And Benedict.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“It’s been a while. Did you have any problems leading the kids in Ishmael?”
“Yes, there was no problem. Oh, King Samit asked me to convey a message.”
“What is it?”
“There are several students who are talented in archery, and I asked them to send them to Milos Academy as ‘exchange students.’”
Rumors of the creation of the Archery Department had already spread across the continent.
And I gave full authority to Aveiro.
The guy knows exactly what I want.
He probably knows what choice I’m going to make on this matter, so I asked.
“Wasn’t it automatically cut off at the Aveiro line?”
“Yes. It’s been fixed, but I still think I should tell you.”
He smiled and nodded.
okay.
“Anything else that could hinder your access to the Demon Forest?”
Advertisements
“doesn’t exist.”
This is okay too.
“We’re leaving tomorrow. Figure out what you need, give us a quote, and get ready.”
Benedict nods as if he is familiar with it.
But the guy just nodded and added, pointing to Sachsen and Ken with his hand.
“You two should go and help. If you only ask Benedict to do it, you two will act like dogs that day… … You know what I mean, I don’t need to say much, right?”
I made a good choice of words.
There’s also Charlotte, so you shouldn’t be lusting after her.
Saxon and Ken nodded madly, and the three disappeared.
“Shall we eat?”
“Yes, boss.”
Harold, who was behind Charlotte as she was about to go, scratches his head.
“Why don’t you ask me? I haven’t eaten yet either.”
hmm.
“You haven’t gone yet?”
Harold was very upset.
* * *
Harold was smiling awkwardly, but his insides were burning.
It was a reaction that could be shown because I guessed what the words ‘haven’t you gone yet’ meant.
It’s a new thing, but Jack is strong.
The top of the world.
He was the kind of man who was so aptly described as a monster, but how could he really not have known that Harold was still there?
No way.
It wasn’t simply a question of whether or not they were there.
Distance.
Harold felt a great sense of distance from Jack’s words.
A shallow, business-like relationship, an invisible line drawn between them.
If I think about it honestly, it makes sense.
Although the Continental Battlefield seems to be closely related to Jack, a closer look reveals that it is merely a relationship between a debtor and a creditor.
Jack’s actions allow Continental Battlefield to earn money, and Continental Battlefield uses that money to pay off its debt to Jack.
Symbiotic relationship.
How long can this relationship last?
Harold had a feeling that the time had come to make a decision.
so.
He said this.

“Can I come with you?”
Jack is the kind of person who thoroughly screens those who come and doesn’t stop those who leave.
“Okay, you come too.”
Permission was granted.
At least Harold was grateful that Jack viewed him as a proven talent.
“There’s someone nearby who knows a lot about cradle shops, so I’ll ask them for directions to some good restaurants.”
Jack nodded.
With a very, very interested expression.
It might not have been because of interest in the restaurant, but because of interest in Harold himself as a person.
maybe.

The capital of the Cradle Kingdom was located very close to the first port, Sardem Port.
It’s a distance that takes about an hour on foot, and less than 30 minutes on horseback.
It was called Sardem Port in Sardem Territory, but in reality, it could be considered a part of the capital.
So the Continental Battlefield had only one branch in the Sardem Territory and the capital of Cradle.
Charlie, the branch manager of that branch, guided our group to a raw fish restaurant called ‘Please Slice Me’ located in Sardem Port.
Charlie was actually in his mid-40s, but he looked like he was in his early 30s.
For a considerable period of time.
If I had to explain further, he is a talented person who boasts a top 5 ranking on the continental battlefield.
He told me.
