Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san?

Episode 40: Just Ready to Save Only Him

The main mountain of Ringism, the Chapel of the Great Spirit of St. Nomorus in Rainardia, the capital of King Raes, is often used as an international meeting place.

Again this time, representatives of the three kingdoms of the Legion lined up their seats on a round table placed in a room surrounded by stained glass.

King Elias IV of the Kingdom of Laes is the third prince, Elvis-Kunz Windsor.

King Hildebrandt IV of the Kingdom of Lowe is the nominee, First Princess Helmina von Lowe.

And the President of the Republic of Cenli, Evelina Anzanello, is the nominee, Verizario Brinkman, Assistant President for National Security.

There was only one in the world today, including the three powers that dominated the continent, and an agenda sufficient to bring together and discuss the powers of its Heads of State in one place.

"- Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Apparently we don't have to rub our opinions together and we see that the will of our three countries is in agreement"

It was the Assistant President, Belizario, that the Republika Sénri made the statement with an unafraid grin engraved in his mouth.

"Well, let's not take it for granted. In this situation, at this time, there can only be one option we should take…"

"... that's not a quick sum? Madam Assistant President."

It was the Kingdom of Lowe, the first princess, Hermina, who turned her gaze and words to gloat.

"Still unhealing the wounds of war, it's not always a good idea to stimulate Dimkurd poorly."

"Hmm. So the Kingdom of Lowe, seeing how things are going for a while now? Are you saying that the brave men of Lowe, who are praised for their courage and courage, will also feel weak shortly after they have their swords stuck down their throats?"

"............... is that an insult to our country?

"No? As a person, let's be very natural. If this were an insult, I would have insulted a species called man itself! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Assistant Belizario smiled with a crippling smile.

Hermina exhales thinly.

"… my father's opinion is similar to yours"

"Well. So what you said earlier was that your own personal opinion, Your Royal Highness?

"... you're right."

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

With that said, but Belizario glanced at Elvis with a glimpse.

"I didn't expect you to try to shelter your (...) parents (...) friends (...) instead of your fiancée. That, too, you said you had just been handcaged! I am just as impressed with that deep love as the sea -"

"It's you -!!!"

Elvis took control with his hands on the brink of Helmina's violent attempt to slap the round table.

"We are in a meeting, Her Royal Highness Princess Helmina"

"So, but Dear Elvis..."

"During (...) meeting (...) in (...) su (...)"

Elvis now, once, reinforces his tone and flaunts her.

I'm not here right now with a boy named Elvis-Kunz Windsor and a girl named Helmina von Lowe.

He is the third prince of the kingdom of Laes and the first princess of the kingdom of Lowe.

It is unacceptable to pinch private feelings - Elvis implicitly said yes to Hermina.

"The Auxiliary. I would like to share with you the thoughts of His Majesty Elias, the King of our country."

I let a grin seep into my mouth, and Belizario nodded.

"Bring Jack Lieber, the Demon King, to public execution as soon as he can. The date, time, place, etc. shall be adjusted after consultation in the three countries, taking into account the social impact."

Hermina let her face down spiciferously against Elvis, who had said it out calmly until she was exhausted.

Belizario nods satisfactorily.

"Public execution is old fashioned and barbaric again, but it's all about this time. If the whole world did not witness that moment when the Demon King died, peace of mind would not return to people's hearts......

I am delighted that we have reached a consensus, Your Highness Elvis. So may I make a suggestion as to the exact date, time and place?

"Go ahead. Either way, you're going to take it back and consider it once"

"I understand."

This was followed by an extremely administrative exchange, which presented each other with regard to the date, time and place of the public execution desired by the respective countries.

At the end of the meeting, the aide Belizario took his seat first and walked away from the floor with a gentle grin, "I will do this, then"

Then Elvis takes his seat silently.

"Dear Elvis!... I was glad...?

Elvis stopped, stayed, and didn't turn around.

Looking inside the floor full of brilliant light, he groans pompously......

"... I was ready. He did too much... I don't know how I got through with my life."

"But......!

Elvis looked back to Helmina.

The moment he sees that face, Hermina loses her words.

Elvis the Genius Prince...

He looked like he was going to cry.

"There's nothing I can do about it if (...) ku (...) et (...) sperm (...) spirit (...) technique (...) is (...) strong (...) and (...)"

What's the word?

I'm not here right now, it was directed at another human being.

".................. Jack"

……………………

prison, said to be the most robust in the world.

In this huge cage, which supposedly imposed measures against all spiritual arts, only one of him was now imprisoned.

Just one.

The other prisoners were temporarily transferred in order to devote himself fully to admonishing only one of them.

"Jack......"

……………………

I call again and again over the iron lattice, but he, bound by handcuffs and chains, does not make it slight while sitting on the wall.

The meal served also seemed to have little hands on it.

"Jack... please, give me a response...? Show me your face..."

……………………

The only thing that returns is the sound of shallow breathing.

That was just proof that Jack wasn't dead yet.

……………………

... but it's just not dead...

Alive... I can't say very much.

It's like a breathing wreck.

Seven years ago, Jack was not alive enough that the zombies who traveled to the college still seemed more vital.

"... Jack..."

I thought defeating him as the Demon King would solve the problem for one second.

A lot of problems would pile up afterwards, but if we solved that in turn, I was sure Jack would make it to a happy future.

But...

Jack, who should have defeated and rescued him, turned him into an unspeakable doll.

I'm sure he needed to be the Demon King.

Acting as the Demon King was his only, living purpose.

Yet... I took it away...

He might find something else again, as long as he lives.

From the days when Phil was mourning and sinking into disillusionment, in the form of the Demon King, as I tried to revive him.

Yes - as long as you live.

Jack's execution was announced this morning.

Until the execution date, only about a week.

It must have been impossible for him to find the significance of living by then......

"Dr. Rachel, please keep him company."

Elvis said so to me in his face and words as a prince.

"Jack, thank you so much for catching you - the Demon King. If I hadn't caught him over there, it could have been worse.

- But the three kingdoms of Legion are now unable to measure their distance from their teachers.

I wonder if that power, which led us to break through the Demon King's army on a single horseback and capture the Demon King himself in an instant, will now be wielded by us.

If the teacher moves to help you, Jack, I'm sure the teacher will turn the world against the enemy.

And win (...) eh (...) and (...) ma (...) eh (...) '

Though he was desperately mending his calm face, his voice was pain-tolerant.

'If you're a teacher, Jack, it must be easy to help you.

But... please, don't do that.

Jack, instead of you being helpful - the world saved because of this could be doomed... '

... Even if I do not lay down my hands directly, the three kingdoms that have failed to execute the Demon King will now be utterly discredited.

In that case, the situation in each country could be disrupted and more people could die than in the war against the Demon King's Army.

It was easy to imagine that one or two of the countries would fall.

- For Jack's sake, are you ready to abandon the world?

In me, there was a voice asking so.

It was the voice of Elvis, the voice of the old master, and the voice of Girl X.

I do not answer.

I can't answer that.
