Do You Think Someone Like You Can Defeat the Demon King?
071 The heroes are in the dance hall.
Henriette was immersed in paperwork in her own room.
There's nothing I can do more than stand in the position of general, but there's been a lot of work here lately, and honestly, my hands haven't caught up.
To the reconstruction of the Wang capital, the assistant to the new king (...), the taking over of tasks from the cardinals and ministers to be executed (...), and preparations for the Second Demonic War (...).
Other issues, such as the treatment of hostages and negotiations with the Knights of the Church - are piles.
"Phew..."
Stopped her hand, she left her body on her back and sighed loudly.
It's very rare to see even when you're alone.
Not so long ago, the burden placed on Henriette by a series of disturbances was enormous.
"But... finally a beloved mankind has regained its kingdom"
The general is alone, drunk on victory.
I'm tired, but I don't think it's hard.
It was a grief.
For a long time, the kingdom had been taken over by inexperienced carbides called origins and the like.
The origins, which sealed the majority of their functions, had no power but to whisper to all humans.
But by targeting a very small number of humans, they eroded their minds little by little from an early age.
Henriette loves humanity.
It was some kind of self-love, coming from her talent, and the breadth of the vessel.
Hence, from the moment she learned of the reality that "the kingdom does not belong to mankind," she hoped that one day she would expel the human being brainwashed by the Announcement.
That finally came true by working hand in hand with Satooki.
There were many sacrifices, and I still had to rely on the inexperienced power of Kimyra.
"If you insist that that is a tool (...), you have to accept it"
Look out the window with a side view.
People desperately working to rebuild in the township of the semi-destructed King's Capital.
But only today, the appearance of people was sparse.
Because there's a big event going on out there.
As he turns his consciousness out, Concon, and someone knocks on the entrance door.
"Sister, are you there?
Visitors look like Otiliers.
"Oh, I'm here."
When Henriette replied in a gentle voice, the door opened immediately.
And he comes into the room, Otilier with a melting grin.
She rocked the twin tails in a good mood and walked over to Henriette.
"Hehe, your sister is still beautiful today"
She puts her face closer with an exasperated look.
"Thanks Otilier, but don't feel like you're being told every time you look at each other. So what can I do for you?
But Henriette doesn't even put it on her teeth.
When I gently recieved it, I soaked up the social dictionary and got to the point.
"It's nice to have a dry sister," Otilier says, blushing her cheeks, but honestly telling her what to do.
"Fram Apricot is awake."
Hearing that, Henriette relieves herself of her breasts.
Maybe I won't wake up again, because I had that anxiety.
Indeed, by reason, genocidal rules that interfere with the human body are possible.
"Well, finally... I just don't feel good about her dying, I'm relieved"
"You can't fail or anything, just your sister"
"Everyone's first challenge is a nervous one, especially since the brain is delicate."
It was easy to imagine how unscrupulous the request from Satooki was, as the best user in the kingdom put it so far.
"But sister, there's only one thing that bothers me... that girl named Fram, she asked me about her hairpin"
"The procedure was incomplete."
"No, but what she held was uncomfortable!
"Ha, is there one that is so depressing that it brings tears to this extent? It's a bump, and I don't think I can help it."
If you say you don't regret it, you lie, but the next time you try it, you just have to succeed.
Most of all - "pumping blood into the brain and blocking memories," etc., such small work is not Henriette's preference.
I have mastered it and whether to use it again is subtle.
"But a hairpin, I'm sure, was mixed in the gear I recovered from her."
"Especially not with an enchant."
"Which would mean that's all thoughtful stuff"
It wasn't something I could say I could even flatter.
The pros on that path - for example, if they showed up around Deputy General Hellman - would have criticized “the placement is disastrous and the wavelength is disturbing, it can't be described as a good thing done”.
That's why I'm overflowing with handmade warmth, though I wouldn't deny it if they told me.
"I meant to take care of Cyril Sweetica and hope from Echidna, but I don't feel very good."
"If you even take away your gear, you're just a girl, not as present as your sister cares"
"Maybe, but I have my respect for her"
"... why would you do something like that?
Otilier inquired in an emotionless voice.
Temperature can also be lost from the expression and eyes, freezing the air in the room.
But Henriette went on to talk about it like it wasn't working at all.
"No matter whose palm that was, it doesn't change the fact that I risked my life trying to save people. Respecting her as a warrior deserves to be done as a samurai."
Henriette says it out looking straight into Otilier's eyes.
O'Tillier, who admires Henriette with her sister, chases her back from an early age, copies the room completely, and sleeps every night wrapped in her used clothes, cannot turn against those eyes.
It was very uncomfortable that the noble sister expressed an interest in the bug called Fram Apricot and others, but above all its will to be respected.
Don't deny it, Otilier swallowed up hatred all the time.
"By the way, Otilier won't be attending the festival (...)"
"Festival...?
Henriette looked out a different window than earlier.
"Oh, that's an example execution."
A giant guillotine is installed on the stage prepared in the square.
There was a crowd around it, presenting a kind of festival look.
"I'm tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of times happier looking at your sister's face than that."
"Ha, I'm not happy to be compared"
"Oh, what I did."
But I know how it feels, and I don't want to see innocent human death.
Henriette worries from the bottom of her heart.
I love mankind, but therefore chose the same path as Satooki.
But I cannot fully accept the idea of Satooki, who loves mankind but therefore easily kicks others down for hope.
The person who heard it most likely laughed invincibly, "That's why it was you.”
◇ ◇ ◇
Gadio and Linus look down from the top of the stage at a crowd of enthusiastic people.
I didn't have a hobby for watching and enjoying the execution, but as a hostage-taker, I couldn't go against being told to "join.”
Even so, nothing tells me to drop a sinner's neck.
Satooki says he will pay exactly as well, it would be easier for him as a given job.
"Wow, that's a lot of fun. Hey."
Linus looked at the hissing people and said in a frightened manner.
"That would mean that the people are looking for evil people who can be held accountable"
A week has already passed since the battle with Mother.
That means it's been six days since the Gadios were taken hostage and Satooki said.
On that day, the King and the Pope gathered the people of the King's capital, who had been hit by an unprecedented disaster, to deliver a speech.
And along the way, they fell ill, and were planted (...) by the Original Core, which made them spiral monsters.
It was the king's capital that was hit by more chaos than the Childrens raid, but it was the brave men and heroes led by Cyril who appeared refreshed there.
They destroyed the monster, and yet Satooki appeared, revealing all the truth (...).
"Kings and popes had been transformed into monsters by the hands of demons! The same goes for the monster who destroyed the King's capital, it's all a ploy orchestrated by the Demons!
Regardless, it is a lie (...) that is too convenient for him, but evil to man in the kingdom is the Devil Nation.
Exhausted people also wanted a heroic Tan story that would brave their hearts.
We have a common interest.
Plus Satooki says.
"I have worked hand in hand with brave men and heroes to fight the monsters in secret"
And the queen, who hath interceded with princes and kings born of monsters, is also a drawer of unclean blood.
'I mean, unfortunately, no orthodox blood-drawing man already exists. But rest assured, men who draw the blood of the previous kings existed besides the present kings!
It made the flow of unscrupulous and forceful stories worth believing in the presence of the heroes who have saved the lives of the people more than once before.
With that event at its frontier, Satouki first assumed the post of pope.
When they hold tremendous power, they capture the prince and queen early.
The next day, the two were executed, and Slough Vladness reappeared, and Slough Kalowl took office as the new king.
Furthermore, as a remedy for the damage caused by the disaster, temporary tax breaks and even bans on the circulation of medicinal herbs, albeit only for some authorised merchants, were lifted.
There were many injured people and there was a lack of healing magic users in Wangdu.
Many people expect the situation to improve with the lifting of the ban on medicinal herbs in such a way that, with the exception of some reluctant, paranoid Originist followers, people favourably embraced the policy.
Still, it should be noted that Satooki's activity does not stop.
Surprisingly, he revealed Chimaira's existence in grandeur.
And first, as an early stage, it was announced that two flying dragons, ten lions and thirty werewolves would be introduced into debris removal and rescue operations.
Though it was deluded that “the original was a force to counter the monster," many humans feared the apparently different monsters walking wide through the king's capital - returning palms in less than a week.
Kimyra was too useful.
Dozens of times the difference in working efficiency occurs before and after the introduction, and the human life saved thanks to it is not enough for ten or twenty.
Nowadays, there are few frightened people, even if Kimaira is working in town.
Occasionally, I even see a child waving innocently.
The abnormality is accepted as normal.
Kimyra is recognized as a handy tool without knowing anything, even though the contents are the same as those feared childrens.
You find that most unpleasant - no doubt, it would be Gadio.
He was unknowingly staring at the Feilong-shape still operating on the rubble in a ghostly shape.
"Hey Gadio, let's start with that face."
A fan of heroes (...) is watching their behavior one by one.
Bad behavior must be cautious.
"... sorry"
"No need to apologize, 'cause I know exactly how that feels."
The monster that killed his beloved, his best friend, and his companion is acceptable as "goodness."
It's not something I can forgive.
There's no other way to clear Tia's mind than to kill and crush those aliens and echidnas.
"Sooner or later, I will destroy you."
"I'll hang out with you too... The Knights are getting closer."
Two men, speaking side-by-side, walking over, wrapped in white plate armor.
Hugue Panyan, head of the Knights of the Origin Church.
The bearded, evil-looking man who accompanies him is Jack Marley, deputy commander.
"You know what? He sounds like Satooki's son."
"I've heard of it. She's my mistress's kid, and she was playing around until a few years ago."
"Oh, he's been caught many times in women's assaults. He didn't even know Satooki existed."
"What do you mean?
"I was born of my own accord, because Master Satooki used to be a mess."
In a way, Hugue and Satooki may be similar.
Most of all, Satooki didn't try to hold a woman until she used illegal means.
"I don't know what that means, all of a sudden I change my mind, and now I'm the Knights Commander"
There is no one but himself to know what happened to him.
But both Linus and Gadio knew that the arm of the sword was certain.
With all that power and the fact that it has been revamped, it is easy to join the Knights.
Stopped, Hugue faced the two by stretching his pins and spine.
"Be the first to see you! I am Hugue Panyan, an ugly and dirty soul, yet shameless to have assumed the post of Commander of the Knights!
"Ha ha..."
It's a sudden flying greeting.
Linus is donning and Gadio is flashing.
"Ahhh, happiness above all that garbage scum like me would be allowed to breathe the same air as high-dimensional beings like Linus Redianz and Gadio Lascat!
Hugue looks thrilled and continues to hold Linus and Gadio's hand.
There are tears in its eyes, and I can ask that the word is not a social dictionary or something like that.
"That being said, your role would be our surveillance, wouldn't it?
"I don't have that right, even though I say it's scary just to watch! Thank God for Gadio's generosity that words are not allowed to be exchanged in this way!
It was a gadio I meant to provoke, but it doesn't work for Hugue at all.
He didn't even look like he was lying - he probably ordered me to “monitor” him around Satooki, but he also returned "all I can do is watch because it's scary”.
"I suppose you should exchange more words with the two wise people who are supposed to lead me to a little higher personality that is only worth less than dirt, but unfortunately I don't have time right now. I can only walk away. Please forgive me!
Just say it, Hugue walks away.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
For some reason, they shrugged off his hindsight as he sobbed away.
The accompanying deputy commander, Jack, is yawning boringly at his head.
"... that was awesome."
"A creepy man."
You're the Knights leader at that (...) Origin Church, you wouldn't be a decent person.
Gadio, who had often stared at his back, exhaled softly, "Phew," loosening his expression and turning his gaze back to the people.
The execution begins immediately.
While the audience grows.
Linus, who looked lightly at the faces lining up countless times, noticed that there was a known face in it.
"Hey Gadio, that..."
"What's up?"
When Gadio sees the same place, he realizes its existence.
And he also seemed to realize that he was being watched, and when he only looked at each other for a moment, Leach walked away to escape.
◇ ◇ ◇
Out of the way, and my heart bounces.
My gaze matched.
It's not awkward, I don't know which side you brought down here - it's not weird that you were killed.
Reach, who couldn't bear to blame himself, walked away in front of the venue of shittiness and execution.
Reach walking through broken streets with a dark look.
From that face, the “confidence” that existed before has been completely lost.
He betrayed the Flams.
At the time I was arranging my escape, I had already been blinded by Satooki.
I've already placed Kimaira where I can attack my wife at any time, she threatened.
And he himself was told that he could be tried and cornered for the crime of illegal drug use.
Reach understands.
If you go against it, a man named Satooki will always do it.
"So I just had to..."
There's an excuse. Squeeze, bite your lips.
It was miserable.
Whatever predicament you're in, you don't just want to imitate it like you're stepping off the humanitarian trail, that's what you were supposed to think.
Reach drank Satooki's demands.
As a result, four people, Milkit, Ink, Keraina and Halom, were taken hostage, and the impotent Flams had no choice but to follow him.
And the Mancassie store got the exclusive right to handle medicinal herbs.
I'm sure the company will be wealthier and bigger than it is now.
It was the right choice.
There was no other path to choose from.
But - at that price, Reach has lost something important.
Walking carelessly, he had arrived in front of the East Side mansion at some point.
The gatekeeper's soldier bows his head, "Welcome back," and the gate opens.
Through a long garden, opening a large entrance door and looking up at a wide entrance.
Everything has been built with his efforts, but now, for some reason, it seems asexually vain.
One woman approached him, standing up and staring at the ceiling.
"Welcome back, you"
He is Foyer Mankathy, wife of Leach.
As she approached him shaking her long hair, she held him gently without saying anything.
"Foyer......"
"You look like you're about to break, and I couldn't help but hug you."
"I'm sorry I'm an impudent husband."
"What are you talking about? This is not how I stand here thanks to your hard work"
My wife doesn't blame Reach.
Kind, but that's very cruel.
Wrapped in Foyer's body temperature, he closes his eyes and remembers a few days ago.
'I missed it, I thought your brother would never do that... lowliest, don't let your brother die!
That's what Welsey said, he hasn't come back as soon as he popped out of the mansion.
I'm letting him go, but I didn't get any reports that he was still found.
There was nothing I could do.
But I can't even argue with Welsey's words.
"How did this happen..."
"I can't help but think about it. I can't go back in time, so I just have to think about the future."
"The future…?"
"Yes. If you keep doing what you think is right, I'm sure you'll be back, too, Welsey."
What the hell can I tell myself that I can do when I'm totally taken in by Satooki?
Back to back with the warmth given, Reach's feelings went down everywhere.
