Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

121: The bearer of the country

King Rudolph hasn't come back yet, and in [Victorias], the nobles of the royal family held a meeting to discuss future measures, but most of them were barren disputes.

It was said that the King's failure was the work of those who supported it, and everyone was soaked in the desire for self-preservation and power, such as those who pretended to be responsible, those who tried to solve their responsibilities with money, and those who tried to take advantage of this to stand up and seize power.

But now that the King is absent and the crisis in the country is approaching, it is not clear when other countries will attack.

Given the responsibility of standing up and losing, it was easy to run as a leader.

I want to stand up. I want to exercise my powers. But I don't want to fail. I don't want to be held responsible. Such thoughts make the content of the meeting meaningless.

However, rumours are spreading and anxiety is spreading.

Soldiers who knew the situation were scared to wonder when the "Magus" would attack the country. Chaos was calling for chaos, and the country was beginning to lean.

There was someone who opened the conference room door and came in.

He shouted his anger at those who were constantly stuck talking with grandiose gestures, all at once under everyone's gaze.

"How long were we going to have this barren argument!

It was Alliance Master Judom Lankers.

Judom shook his teeth in anger as if this were the nobility supporting the country.

"Boo, that's rude!

"We're in the middle of a discussion right now... no, you're Judom Lankers?

The nobles realize the presence of Judom and harden.

"You! What happened to the King! Why couldn't I bring the King home without you!

"Yes, that's right! Even if Gilmus were to carry the country, he would know that the king's life should be the first priority!

"This is the only thing we can do to fight. It's the incompetence!

They say whatever they like.

But Judom doesn't feel angry at such words. In this situation, I still don't like their attitude of blaming others.

Cut open, Judom raised his right leg and slammed down vigorously.

- Don't!

At that moment, the impact spreads like a ripple from the center of the impact, shaking the room greatly. Those who are not confident in their hips fall down like they pulled out of their hips.

"Nh, what...?!?

I can hear someone murmuring like that.

"... ask"

Judom looks at everyone and opens his mouth.

Everyone is staring at Judom as Pocahontas.

"Are you willing to fix the slope of this country?

"Of course not!

"That's right! The nobles who support this country are our powerful ones!

"What's barren about this meeting in the first place! This is how we talk about the country!

There may be a reason for each, but none of them feels persuasive or dusty.

"You got the information, didn't you? The King has transformed."

Everyone keeps quiet about the words. Silence is considered affirmative.

"In that case, I'm sure the minister, as well as the captain who was the lord, was killed on the spot."

…………

"This country is leaning heavily now. You said you were discussing it... to get back on your feet?

"That's right...."

"Then why don't you give me any instructions! The soldiers are upset and floating, and the people are all anxious! Because of this situation, you have to take the initiative and lead everyone!

Almost everyone is distracted by Judom's temper.

"I can't change what I'm saying in this tiny room! If you're a little proud to stand on your back, shake your tiny arms for the people!

Exactly right.

Nobody said anything back, but I was able to sweat from my forehead.

"... it's about you guys anyway. I don't know, but if I fail in my own extraction, I'm scared and I can't do anything, right?

"Well, that's not true..."

My voice is trembling completely. The same goes for saying that I thought so.

"I want to stand up, but it's too heavy a responsibility. Then you're desperate to make someone stand up and take advantage of it from behind... right?

"Boo, that's rude! We wouldn't do that! The country is not so weak in the first place, and it's important to argue like this...."

"Shut up, cowards!

I stepped on the floor again and shocked everyone. Most people are clinging to the table screaming.

"You said the King's life should take precedence over anything else? That's not true! Above all, it is the country itself that really needs to be protected! The country belongs to the people! What are you talking about when you can't move for the people!

"Hyi!

A man who had objected to Judom held his head in his ass.

"Decide here! Stand at the top of this country now, and raise your hands if you want to give instructions to everyone!

And those on the spot looked at one another as though they were controlling one another. Nobody seems to be willing to take the initiative to replace the King.

It is true that we are at the top of the list in a crisis situation like this, and if we fail to protect the country, the responsibility will go to the top. That's what I'm afraid of.

(... is this their limit...)

I'm getting really sad. How long has this country been so weak? Instead of looking for a smile for the future, all those who think only of getting coins for tomorrow.

(Rudolph... this is the status quo of the country I made...?

It reminds me of my changed best friend's face and bites my teeth.

When you bang on the table, everyone starts shaking their bodies. It's really pathetic.

"Your feelings have been well communicated. Let me tell you one thing. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………!

Intimidating with a sense of dominance similar to killing.

"You can't save anything if you're just afraid of hurting yourself! It's not important! Even if it's painful and painful, you can't escape and protect yourself!

Once again, I look around at each of the nobles.

"If you don't think the country raised you at all, show them how grateful you are and how stupid you are!

I am stunned by the anger of such nobles who do not feel the hegemony of saying that they are civilians, even though they are so noble.

"... that's the answer, right?

Still seeing them staring at others, they sigh out.

"... I understand very well. Protect your homes. You can't protect your own family, even if you're a faggot. If you can't do that... they're not even human anymore?

When Judom finishes, Welle, the Second Army Captain of the National Army, appears from behind.

And when I lowered my head,

"I have a report for you. This is a message from the Queen."

There are people who look good about what they expect. Perhaps the Queen will defend herself.

"It is the Queen's strict order. It is Lord Judom Lankers here who stands behind this country and leads us all."

"Ha!?

Everyone who was on the spot answered in suspicion of their ears.

"We have decided to entrust the full powers of the country to Lord Judom. This is the letter."

Then I opened the paper I had in my hand and showed it. It also had the Queen's autograph on it, and everybody blued to know that it was real.

"... I really wish I had someone more worthy here..."

I am only a civilian. Even if you have a title called Gilmouth, it comes out of your reach. That's why I was hoping that a trustworthy nobleman would stand up.

But I can't trust anyone here at all.

"That's sad... even though they were supposed to fight for the country and for the people at first..."

Show a shadow on your expression, but immediately retighten and turn your heel back. And he throws his last words at them behind his back.

"I'll take care of the country. That's my gratitude to my country!

All anyone could do was stare silently at Judom as he left the room. Wells also slightly lowered his head and left.

Then Judom decided to gather his trusted friends and first consolidate the country's defenses. I take the initiative to go out to the city and tell the people the truth.

Perhaps we shouldn't have avoided confusion, but I wanted the people to feel a little more critical than the nobles could believe.

If danger is imminent, I decide to protect myself even if I risk my life, but I'm still not proud that I can protect everything. That's why I wanted the people to do what they could.

Do what the people can't do.

It leads them away from any anxiety they may have. I think it is important not only to give instructions to the castle, but also to give instructions by showing people their faces like this.

Even though the people were initially confused by Judom's attitude, they were gradually able to put their faith in it.

To think about it, Judom always stood in front of everyone during these events. That's why everyone feels Judom is trustworthy.

And the soldiers were amazed at his brilliant leadership and moved with Wells to meet Judom's expectations.

(Rudolph... I don't know what you were thinking, but I won't let the country kill you.)

He turned his determined eyes to the sky.

It was a dimly lit basement, and the only light that illuminated the area was a weak ball of light placed on the ceiling.

The pale light barely illuminates just below. Even though it is still noon outside, there is no light from the outside.

There is no change in the indoor light or darkness, night or day. It's not a big room, but the five shelves are packed with books, literature, and more.

Just below the illuminated light was a Himura Nikkei figure rolling a book page on the back of a shelf.

There are piles of books piled up in a mess around the sun color, and the sun color is concentrated in a disturbing way even though the dust is dancing.

Then when you close the pattern and the book and place it at the top of the mountain, you take another book from another mountain and open the cover again.

"Hmm, all this is interesting. It was a hassle, but you only took part in the war."

This is the basement of the Fortuna Grand Library, a repository of knowledge located in Magic Kingdom Haos . I can say that I originally came to the country to read this book.

This "Fortuna Grand Library" is open to the general public, but there are many books with restricted access.

The limits are divided into "Depth 1" to "Depth 5" in an easy-to-understand manner, and "Depth 5" is said to be available only to a limited number of royal people. In order to read, you must have a browsing license.

The color of the day that I wanted to read the book in Depth 5 met Lily and negotiated with her.

She was supposed to use the connections to read the book in Depth 5.

However, I met Yveam, the demon king in this country, and presented him with a browsing permit in exchange for participating in the war.

The color of the day I thought I was more certain than relying on Lillin was a chance to join the war and get a brilliant license.

A lot of things happened and I didn't get into the library until now, but after the duel, the color of the day that was called the hero of the "Magus tribe" got me the freedom to enjoy my hobbies slowly.

About a week after that fateful struggle, Yveam told me that the declarations of the ancestral demon king Avolos were apparently true.

Of course, Yveam had not doubted Avolos from the beginning. It is no wonder that he would do such a thing.

However, he was also of the opinion that it was premature to make a decision without supporting it.

So after careful investigation, it appears that Avolos is planning to conquer the world with a tiger's eye, under the umbrella of a man of one or two habits from each continent.

That's the kid, Temple Demon King.

I didn't think I'd actually hear the word "conquer the world" from someone's mouth.

Saying a line that looks like a lost world, without shame or shame, means that his words are genuine without shaking.

(... because of that Temple Demon King, I'm going to be in trouble)

Even though the "Magus" and the "Beast Clan" came together and Lillin's dream was one step closer to being realized, I don't feel bored to creating this world that is again irregular.

(Now, the other side is busy preparing for the war, and there will be no war yet. And the Demon King is also moving, and if there is anything, he will let me know.)

I don't hear that Avolos is making remarkable moves, so I'm sure he's still going to remain silent.

I suppose watching that duel quietly was to confirm our strength. I'll let you know again when I've decided that I can plan my victory.

(No, about the Temple Demon King. There's a chance they'll raid without even notifying us.... "

Such an existence as The Demon King cannot politely announce war.

(Well, that's why the Demon King doesn't fail to be vigilant every day considering that.....)

Still, the thread may slightly pass through the needle hole.

After all, they have exchanged information closely with the "Beast Clan", but it seems that Avolos' companions have attacked the country over there, and there is no satisfactory discussion.

When the Japanese color closes the book patently, it looks at the book that is wrapped like a scroll on the left.

"I went through the eyes for a moment, but I'm the only one who seems to be useful...."

I think so. I'll take the scroll. As the contents are revealed,

"... hot blood is not the original pattern."

Undo the scroll again and put it back in your pocket whispering. I also had permission to take it out. It's conditional on not showing it to others without darkness.

There was a wealth of knowledge of coveted things in this Depth 5 room. Unexpectedly, I was so excited to know how to read it.

It was full of books that conveyed the creation of this world, biographies of the brave men of the past, ancient magic, and so on.

I wrapped my tongue around the place where the ban on secrecy is kept by the state. But I was looking for a book in Japanese with one thing on it.

And the book was a scroll in my pocket. I decided it was something I needed for the future and was looking for it.

(I've read it for a while, but I can't say anything unless I do it....)

In the meantime, I got what I wanted. However, we have not yet fully conquered this knowledge. I feel happy surrounded by so much knowledge, but suddenly I feel a sign of coming here.

(Who is it...? Only authorized people should be able to come here....)

Only the sun colour is allowed. That's why Lily and the others can't come. It can be judged that he is related to the Demon King.

But stand up slowly so as not to fail to be alert, and look sharply at only one entrance.

The clams and the cold sound of the floor. And then someone came into my eyes.

"... you...!

It was Aunous, who appeared in the 4th Place in the Series of the Demon King Guard (Kruel).

When he shows himself in this darkness, he looks like a werewolf and wonders what horror he has.

Although I was a little vigilant, I didn't feel any hostility from him, so I probably decided it was a call from the Demon King or something and asked.

What can I do for you?

Then he opened it for a moment, like a waste of time.

"I have a few questions for you."

Apparently it wasn't a call from the Demon King.

In fact, there was a rough prediction of what he wanted to hear. Rather, it was just right because I wanted to ask him something.

"But what a mess."

Looking around the room in an astonishing manner, she sighed in a messy situation.

"I don't care what happens to these things right away."

Focus your magic on your index fingers,

"Organize" in "Books"

As soon as you activate it, the books scattered on the floor move back to the shelf. Aunous stares at such a sight with a stunning expression.

After a while, the surroundings were tidy as if the scene earlier had been a lie.

"... I'm just surprised at you."

Exhale with admiration and gaze at the neatly organized bookshelf.

"What do you want to hear more than that?

"Ah, yeah, that's right."

And he looked serious.

"My lord, can you use Red Qi?

I'm still sure that was the question.

"That's what you are... right?

The red aura that Aunous showed during the duel was undoubtedly the same as the red air that the sun colour showed in the Leowood match.

"... I see. Surprise, I didn't expect a young man like you to know...."

"... I wanted to ask you something, too."

"What is it?"

"You seem to be at liberty to use Red Air."

…………

Red Qi uses nerves to handle quite a bit. I'm confident in magic control, but I can't handle Red Air freely. "

I finally got into "Duplex Mode".

"That would be true. Originally," Red Air "is a business that half people like me are good at. A half-breed who can't use magic or Costume. There were stunts like that that that no one could beat. That's the way to fight using" Red Air "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

"Want to... suck...?

He glanced at the scroll he had taken out of his pocket. Aunous also looked up and raised his voice.

"Ah, the fact that you're holding it... means that you're about to experience it."

The scroll is indeed written in the language of the world as "Tai-Red Summaries".

"Do you know me?

"Of course. That's what I put here."

I was honestly surprised by the answer. To put it simply, it describes how to fight using a number of "Red Air".

However, it was quite subjective, so there were many parts that were difficult to understand.

That's why I was hoping to get information from Aunous, who would know about Red Air, but I didn't really think that the person who wrote this was in front of me.

"But I see, you gave me this scroll...."

So the color of the sun builds up a little and moves the mouth.

"Tell me more about the" Tai Red Summaries ". Of course I'll pay you."

The object I was looking for in Japanese was a book describing how to fight using Red Air.

Aunous asks why.

"Why do you want to learn? You think you're strong enough?

"... it's easy. I was just a little complacent."

Speak in a mood of disgust. Aunous stared at himself like that.

"You're complacent... Does that sound disgusting to you?

Sure, it would be if I tried him. To be clear, the strength of the Japanese color is so high that everyone has to admit it. The Beast King Leowood fell down with his fist. I can't help it, even if it sounds disgusting.

"I'm not satisfied. I'm not going to go to Battlejunkie, but apparently I can't die."

I remember the conversation I had the other day in the bath with Siuba and I laughed bitterly.

"No, I don't want to die yet. That's why I need this. You can't rely on magic!

Aunous heard what the dark-haired boy in front of him said and his cheeks twitched. It is said that it is incomplete to say that it has achieved so much strength, but it is still immature.

To be honest, I really hated him at first, but I could see with my eyes what he really thought.

Indeed he is strong. But it is largely due to his peculiar magic. He is certainly of high level, but he is also a human being of different worlds, and his physical abilities are not so high.

If the evidence had challenged that duel with no magic, he might not have been here.

That's why he said he wanted to gain power without relying on magic alone. I had no intention of admiring the idea.

Neither is it a reason to gain power to defeat someone, nor is it a reason to show off that power and rejoice. I just don't want to die yet.

It was too simple an answer, but I admired it for sure.

He's a really funny boy.

It is strange to see a boy who is faithful to his desire to stare straight at him, because he wants to keep up with his shoulders.

(Does this mean the boy's charm...?

In fact, he's right, there may be situations where you can't use magic anymore. In the meantime, what he could do would be push him to say something at a high level.

But then the limit is reached. Because it's not an easy world to cross just by physical abilities. I'm sure he understands it well.

That's why I want to wear the "Tai Red Suite", which is not magical and has magical powers.

In that case, even if the magic is sealed, the choice of battle is widened. And he owes me a favor for bringing the "Magus" to victory.

(To be clear, The Tai Red Summary is an unknown power, and chooses to deal with it. And if that power is abused, that's a terrible thing to do. But....)

Looking at the sunny eyes, loosen your cheeks.

I'm sure this boy will be fine.

If the king that he serves believes, and his best friend believes, and the people hold with heroes. No, above all, I like him myself.

"... that's fine. But let me tell you one thing."

I am listening to the color of the sun so as not to leak it.

"Sure, you can use Red Air, but you don't always get the Tai Red Summary."

"... is that so?

"Oh, it's a half-specific business. It's also a product that was born as a substitute for magic and costume."

"I see. In other words, I might not be able to use that business if I wasn't half..."

The color of the day when the shade increases slightly on the expression.

"That's right. Even with qualities, balancing is very difficult. In the case of halves, there are two species in the body, so it goes well with the business of synthesizing the two forces naturally."

You're convinced.

In the first place, Red Air is the power created by a perfect blend of vitality and magic. That alone requires quite delicate force control.

"So even if you train, you don't get it. You still want to challenge me?

"Of course."

I answered without any hesitation. I can be understood as someone with a truly straight heart.

"... okay."

The color of the day smiles happily at the words.

"Okay, bye!

"Oh, I'll teach you as much as I know."

I wanted to see how far this boy would go and how far he would go.
