Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru
Episode 72: Pride
"Let's go."
"Yes, Lord"
"Ugh."
I left my luggage in the carriage yesterday, and all I have to do is say hello to Your Majesty.
After all, I only saw the town for one day... not if I'm taking a slow sightseeing trip.
Might as well go around the world with everyone when it's all over...... yeah, it's sure to be a fun trip.
When I left the room, there was Mr. Eddie.
Apparently they just called us.
"Mr. Eddie...... thank you for your help"
"Phew... he said this is the one who took care of him... no, I don't want to say anymore. Your Majesty is waiting. Come here......"
He guides me through the castle.
I thought it was on its way between glances, but Mr. Eddie started going down the stairs.
That... sure...
"Mr. Eddie, over here..."
"Your Majesty is waiting outside the castle. He wants to see you off on your journey."
"Was it...... thank you"
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Go down the stairs and reach the splendid entrance of Celtic Castle.
Then the soldiers lined up to surround the road to the gate leading outside the castle.
And in front of the gate ahead stood the first man and woman to see, and three boys who seemed to be those two children.
"Ah..."
Seeing those three, Asuna stops on the spot.
Right... these people...
When I pushed Asna's back, she looked at me with a slightly anxious look.
When me and Levi laughed and nodded, Asna leaned down a little and then raised her face and started walking slowly forward.
Eventually standing in front of that family, Asuna took her head deep...
"Mr. Asna......!
"Huh..."
A woman stops Asuna from trying to bow her head.
And a woman and a man bowed their heads deeply.
"Oh no... I...!
"You're not bad... we're the bad ones"
"Mr. Asuna, I'm sorry... we... we didn't know what to do... Your Majesty sent us a letter. So I could come here... I'm so sorry...!
Your Majesty... you are no match...
"No... Your Majesty... but because I was... weak... so I was...!
The woman shook her head at Asuna crying.
The man also held his fist and closed his eyes.
"Yesterday...... Mr. Asna and Mr. Lord...... plus I've always regretted hearing about Master Eddie and His Majesty. Why... why couldn't I reach out to you! I've tormented you all my life... it doesn't matter about incompetence... I have to help you... if we have that strength...! Sorry.........!
"Oh no... I... I'm sorry I made you feel scared too...!
Then the boy who was watching the condition walks over to Asuna.
And I stared at Asna's face and made myself clear.
"I wasn't scared at all! I was so dirty, I was worried that I'd be okay..."
Oh......
"Ah... ah..."
"And, sister, you're a good man! Because before your sister disappeared, she said," I'm sorry. "So he's a good guy!
So I... I can fight.
"Ugh... Ugh... sorry... sorry... Ugh..."
"Your sister's not bad. Yikes! So don't cry..."
"No...... it's okay...... this is happily crying...... so thanks......!
I couldn't keep my tears down.
That seems to be the same for the soldiers who were around.
Levy also seems to be burning that sight in his eyes without wiping the tears that flow.
A little brave man saves one heart... look at that.
That's when the huge gate opens.
At the end of that gate, which was blocking sight, was the figure of King Celtic.
And there's a lot of people behind it......
"What is our Celtic pride!
"Put the thoughts of the universe on your soul!!
"Never cower!
"Exalt our heavenly destiny!!
"Until the day the five bodies decay!
"Become something that seeks true strength!!
"Therefore the soul of Celtic!
"Don't be a full-blown believer!!
The king's guide was spinning Celtic pride on the people.
I have no words.
I was just overwhelmed.
"We will never forget. And you can't go wrong again. Everyone thinks the same thing. I wanted to tell you that... Farewell, brave man. See you again..."
We step forward and bow our heads deeply.
Everyone put their hands on my chest and lowered my head.
I didn't need any more words.
The people were splitting left and right, showing us the way.
After we give our regards to King Celtic, we continue along the way.
It's often hard.
There were also many sorrows.
But I'm going to get over it one by one.
This is how the road is made clear ahead.
So let's move on.
Be prepared.
This is not my way alone.
Whoa, whoa.
Demonic Continental Inhelm.
A continent of extreme cold closed by eternal ice...... but that was a little different from the fact.
That may seem so from the sea, but there is a space in the centre of the continent that has suppressed snowstorms by magic.
Most demons and demons live there, and humans don't know about it.
A certain amount of food can be secured with it, but compared to the abundance of Valhalla, it would still be like tears of sparrows.
Naturally, the Demons were also after Valhalla as much as the Dragons.
Weakening adventurers… I can say that the consequences of the investigative attacks I made earlier support that.
Almost everything is within expectations, with some exceptions.
Not all of this would have allowed us to drop a country and turn it into demonic territory, and to repel the humans who were trying to recapture it.
Nevertheless, SSS-ranked adventurers headed by the brave Roy are troublesome.
No matter how the Demon King...... I mean, the current Demon King is said to be the strongest man in history, there is no guarantee that he will win if he deals with them all.
At least one more... well, if I could find one more decision-maker missing, I would have been ready to attack Valhalla at any time.
And that will be found by chance.
And when he heard the news, the demon king commanded his men to prove it immediately.
As a result, it undoubtedly leads to the conviction that it is what the Demon King wants.
From that moment on, the demonic invasion of Valhalla became a reality.
Already south of Valhalla, many demons have been sent in.
Celtic is the aim.
If we can take that robust town, we can build a magic castle with no more.
Also close to the Inhelm, it is easy to increase the number of people.
And most importantly, Celtic was in the best place as a front-line base to crush Olympus.
However, the presence of the Dragon Nation still stands in front of the Demon Nation.
Both the Demons and the Dragons hated each other.
An inevitable obstacle to the recovery of Valhalla.
If the Demons invade Valhalla, the Dragons will always move too.
That was obvious.
The worst case scenario could be being sandwiched by humans and dragon tribes.
Still, the Demon King pushes on.
Because I thought that certain beings that I stumbled upon had the potential to break even that.
Anyway, now I only get what will be its last deciding factor.
Now Inhelm was preparing for war without the knowledge of the humans.
Inhelm Castle sits in the heart of the continent.
During the sight, the strongest demons were gathered under the command of the Demon King.
Four already kneel before the throne on which the Demon King sits, just quietly awaiting the appearance of the Demon King.
These four were the ones who sat in their seats in the Pyramid, which culminated in the Demon King.
They had so much power that if the times were times, they might have been called demon kings.
But the present demon king gently outshines it.
So the four of them were kneeling on the spot without falsehood.
Just have respect and awe for the Demon King.
Eventually footsteps begin to sound between the tricks and the wide glance.
Four people heightened their nervousness at the sound.
Thus appearing quietly, the Demon King sits on the throne, legged and elbowed.
His appearance is in his late twenties, but in fact he lives for nearly 5,000 years.
Its appearance is no different than that of a human being, wearing golden hair, white skin and black coat-like clothing.
But the contents are like something else.
Enormous magic resides in it, and attacks produced from tough flesh mercilessly destroy all things.
The name of this demon king, known as the strongest in history, is Zeno.
And whosoever crowns the devil, then all of it is an absolute kneeling.
"How's the end?"
The short pronounced word of the Demon King.
The four raise their faces and each returns the words succinctly.
"Ha... no delay in getting ready"
"The demons are hungry for blood."
"Whatever the Demon King wants"
"Only wait for the hour after..."
"Right. Just be."
The Demon King smiles slightly.
Since when did the four of them see a demon king with that look on his face?
"Just a demon king...... something to worry about"
"What the heck, Hadras? Tell me."
"Yes, the subject is not far from the Demon King... I wonder if his power is inferior to ours..."
"Takeshi"
There was only slight anger included in the words of the Demon King.
Tensions run on the four of us.
Nevertheless, this is the summation of the four.
It's just what Hadras said on behalf of me.
"Don't worry unnecessarily. That's for sure... even if you can't see it now, there's more to it than that."
"Ha... sorry. Failure to reach the sincerity of the Demon King..."
"Good, I haven't told you anything else. Nevertheless…"
The Demon King laughs niggardly again.
That was the biggest fear for the four of us.
"Looking forward to it."
