Fourteen Stories "Folding Up"
The report of the triumph of humanity instantly spread to the continent, and the people lauded with great cheer the soldiers who fought valiantly.
All those who entered the war were lifted once, but among them Marius can be said to be distinct.
"Did you hear that? Talk about Master Marius?
"Oh, you cleaned up the Demon Army millions in no time, did you?
"No, you know, before that, you busted a demon in a little bit."
Everyone goes out to the tavern and exchanges glasses and cups with one hand to talk about Marius aloud.
"I can't believe the human survival crisis ended so easily."
When one spills with a face like a half surprise or a half flash, everyone who hears it nods again and again.
"My son is a soldier too, he drove me out into battle, I thought he'd never come back."
"Thanks to Master Marius for that and this!
Whoa. A voice of endorsement boils from all over.
People lost their hips when they heard about the scale of the demon army invasion, and when they found out there were five demons, they were desperate.
I didn't know that would win in less than an hour instead of half a day!
Marius' surprises and fears about his out-of-standard nature were the result of a historic victory that blew away.
Common people are less deeply unthinkable creatures than the former.
My brother's dead.
One young man crumbles and showers cold water into everyone's delight.
The war itself ended in a short time, but there are tens of millions who lost their lives in the battle against the Demon Army.
People were reminded once again how the Demon Army was so strong and terrifying that the country had disappeared in Berganda.
An earlier young man continued his words when he was about to get a soggy air.
"But thanks to Master Marius, we didn't have to die. Cheers to Master Marius!
Raise the jock, poured all over with barley wine, high above the sky, and drink it all at once.
Because men also live in a harsh world, they were prepared to lose their flesh parents.
However, the thought of not wanting to forget the death of his flesh parents mixed with appreciation for Marius to form complex emotions, which made him behave like he is now.
The surrounding humans were initially distracted, but a few seconds later they hoisted in heaven the jocks and cups they had handled in imitation of a man and shouted.
"Cheers to Master Marius!
The screams of young and old can play and disappear.
I mourn those who have died, rejoice that they are alive, and thank God that there is tomorrow.
These sights can be seen everywhere in the eastern part of the Tariant continent.
The joy of the people was one, because the eastern part of the continent was in danger of dying.
When the people were boiling back to victory, the upper echelons also held celebratory victories.
The venue is Fillato with the winning factor Marius.
Gallius offered, "At least that's about it..." But Philato was preferred geographically.
Needless to say, the event itself was much more gorgeous than the people here.
Most of the costs they spend are people's income.
The participants in this event were the kings of Serraeno, Lanreo, Boltner and Filato and the class of generals who took part in the battle, plus Marius.
And there are beautiful and dressed young daughters who are called the heavy towns of the nations, which can be considered essential for the celebration.
The three succubus daughters declined to participate in the event.
Zofi, who launched the great medal of defeating the intermediate demon Pal, was content with it if Marius praised him, and was humbled because Al and Elle were largely useless.
It is thanks to Al that Augusto III and Burra did not die in battle, and it is Elle's feat that the Serraeno army suffered fewer casualties in battle.
When Marius said that, they rewarded you at night with a demonic smile on their face, and their husband responded accordingly.
It is a secret no one can tell me that I hurt my back and took care of healing magic.
It began with King Fillato's greeting, followed by a prize for Marius.
"I'm sorry to hear that, but Lord Marius has decided for himself."
Marius was surprised by the words of King Bernhardt III of Filato, but the reaction around him was not taken for granted, as opposed to him.
"If you need anything, I want you to say it"
Marius is in trouble when asked again.
(I don't need anything more!
That is the true meaning of no multiplication.
Even if I get gold and silver treasures, the aftertaste is bad, and even if I get land, I just can't afford it.
Aside from how it is seen beside, it is full in fact.
Even if they say any more rewards, suddenly it won't come out will be the limit for ordinary people.
That said, it is not clear that it is the King's duty to "appreciate merit correctly and pay justice".
I mean, whether you resign, you need to twist out words that convince your surroundings, but that was difficult for Marius.
I can't even imagine how the situation on the continent would move with the disappearance of one country.
"I understand what you're saying, but first we should put an end to the continent's misery."
Marius makes a conscious and dignified point.
I meant to say that there are still decarabia and rubens in the dark, but unfortunately they interpret me as an abnegation without going through with it.
After seeing each other in the face, the kings speak on behalf of King Filato.
"Lord Marius is truly abnegation. But that's not how it works. Can you at least tell me what you want?"
I noticed the too desperate look the kings gave me when I tried to be nice, and I thought back to what I had done.
Maybe it's more impotent that you wiped out millions of demon armies and yet you don't need a reward.
Or should I reassure you that I think it's a feat to the extent that I can be rewarded with a grace award?
I don't mean to be scared or alarmed, and it's going to be more troublesome than it is now.
… although it may already be too late in terms of being scared.
Marius squeezed his diligently scarce wisdom and managed to twist out one answer.
"Right. Then take Master Rovisa and Master Burra."
When Marius says, a small twist occurs and disappears in an instant.
Though I wanted to touch the lives of the people of this world and make an effort to walk away, that doesn't mean that courtship from the women is very intrusive and we can't get along with each other in a detour.
That's why I thought of putting out an attitude that women's relationships are only as a reward and making it a restraint for those who want to get in.
And at any rate, some of the women who already know how to feel are good.
I can't deny that the word "merit" is in the corner of my head.
Catherine's name was not mentioned because she still remembered how old she was, and I can still say that.
This thought of Marius was first welcomed by the kings.
The marriage between the princess and Marius was a close desire to grief, and it is gratifying that we do not have to allocate gold or territory.
It's too little for just the two of us, so I'd like to get married to some of them later, but right now, Marius is probably angry.
Other kings were convinced by King Philato's words for the time being and acknowledged them.
It was too unusual a stream for a merit award, but none of those who thought it was funny were on this occasion.
Marius' power was too substandard at any rate, and the effects of the war were too insane.
As much as some were sympathetic and respectful to the kings who tried to do something and settle things without difficulty.
Burra, named, was ecstatic...... only in her heart.
I might have done one of the dances without my eyes.
The other Rovisa also accidentally breaks her iron skin and whispers to Emma, who happens to be beside her.
"Dear Marius, what kind of a change of heart is that?
"Perhaps, but not a sign of intent that you don't want a woman other than a reward?
That's just what I should say, or the length of the relationship, Emma is reading almost into Marius's mind.
Only if you know it's easy for the women to attack.
The kings draw similar conclusions.
They all drew Marius' will, and although they admired Marius' identification for making a thankful offer, no one realized it was just a sham.
"Admit it."
King Filato and King Lanreo proclaimed so, and Rovisa's marriage to Burra was decided.
Instead of consulting the princess, who is a party, I did not take a glance, but this is what marriage is all about in this world.
"It's just not enough. I can't give you a reward for my country or Gallius. Well, let's not do that until the reconstruction has progressed somewhat."
Marius sighs in his heart at King Serraeno's statement.
I understand that Filato and Lanreo often refuse from Gallius and Serraeno, and emotions that are close to reopening also sprang up.
(If you defeat demon kings and demons in the future, they'll say it again)
It's common sense in this world, and it's getting ridiculous to keep refusing to do what we want.
I like women one way or another originally, and I don't hate Harlem anything else.
Doesn't it matter if you satisfy them properly... it would be hard to satisfy them all properly though.
You can throw them round to the state whenever possible regarding the marks that will arise.
If you don't like it, you also have the option to leave... not to mention individuals like Barra, Rovisa, Emma and Catherine, who can't afford to be annoyed with something called the state.
When Marius begins to seriously consider his previous decision to think about it, the topic is two-and-three turns.
And the next topic that came up was about the purifying magic used by Marius.
"I doubted your ears when I first heard. I didn't expect to attack the castle forts of the three countries together."
It was King Henry IV of Lanreo who said so.
He's a brilliant wizard, which is why he understands his insanity.
The very act of increasing the range beyond normal would be possible if he, Burra, or a first-rate wizard.
But if we focus on you, the power at the heart will be lost.
It is so difficult to broaden the scope while retaining power that it becomes the wizard's lifelong proposition.
Marius seems to have accomplished it easily.
"If you have any tricks, I'd like you to tell me for the rest of school."
The rest of us have already paralysed our thoughts and senses, and even would end up in Marius' praise, but as wizards, that is not the case.
Burra's exploratory mind as a wizard seems to prevail over her fondness for Marius, too, rarely sneering at her father's words.
I guess it's more impossible to tell the most magical lunatic Burra to curtail her curiosity.
The trouble is Marius, who was told the story.
I used it to reduce the damage to humanity, but I can't even tell you the truth.
In the game age, equipment was no longer available if the required level had not been reached, but it was nevertheless possible to use it as a tool.
I'm scared of what's going on in this world and I can't try it.
Should I try Zophi and the succubus daughters you seem to trust, or let Bhara use them?
For the time being, the ears and eyes were only concentrated on the power of Marius himself, and no one seemed to be paying attention to the equipment yet.
In other words, this occasion should give you a reason other than gear.
"No, you can be surprised if you put as much magic into it as you want, right?
"You look retarded while I'm at it," Marius answered.
In short, he forced it to happen.
But this seemed to be the easiest thing Marius could come up with.
Magic increases and decreases in power depending on the magic in it, so Marius tried to make her think that if she tried her best to use magic, it would be difficult.
It's not bullshit, by the way, in that it takes a lot of magic.
Explained people say
"I see. Is it a matter of magic..."
"Perhaps if we put a lot of magic into it, it won't surprisingly lose its power?
"Sounds worth a try"
I believed it so lightly that Marius clapped it out.
"It just seems so inefficient."
"But if you can sweep a wide range of enemies together and do magic to your allies in one go, it's worth a try..."
"You won't be able to do it individually, but if you operate on the size of a battalion or regiment or..."
So much so that I started arguing.
No one seemed to doubt the words of Marius.
There's a really simple reason for this, because Marius was found to be a firepower specialist, unrelated to delicate fine-tuning and elaborate techniques during the Demon Festival.
It would have been more surprising to describe it as a gift of sophisticated skill.
(That doesn't seem to make any sense...)
As for Marius, he was a little unwilling, but he had the consciousness that he was not a brainiac, so he reconsiders that being dissatisfied is more muscular.
There is some relief that there was no pursuit about the equipment, stop uttering words.
Barra and Hemrut had some meaningful look on their faces, but Marius pretended not to notice.
If you are in an area called the most powerful class of humanity, or you may have felt some unnaturalness, you are not willing to confirm it.
The other side is keeping me silent over there, and I'd rather not check it out.
In this way, the celebration progresses unconnectively.
The faces of Holdia, Mithra, Balshark and Vester were not called, but how to deal with them also became a seed on the agenda.
"Holdia, who was attacked, can't forgive the other three."
Whatever the difference in degree of thought, that's what everyone thinks.
Filato, who took the form of being ignored for warning, was unpleasant, and Lanreo, Boltner and Serraeno, who were attacked by the Demon Army but took the form of being bewitched.
The three countries overshadowed Holdia's time as a villain with their own stupidity.
There comes a knight in and gives King Philato an earful.
It was Holdia who sent a messenger with the king's letter with the army.
"What by now..."
When Bernhardt III tells them to throw up, the kings ask about the situation.
When I reveal that I have nothing to hide, I get dizziness and my opinions fly out.
"Sure it's late, what are you thinking"
When one cursed loudly, the other said so that he could resist.
"No, wait, slow would be the theory of results. No one should have expected the battle to end in such a short period of time. That's why I can't blame Holdia."
It seemed like an honest argument, but the negative opinion was deeply rooted.
"But a king of a nation is one who is questioned about the consequences. Otherwise, if you're aiming for results, you can do whatever you want."
That kind of opinion comes out and a voice goes, "Yes, it does," and another one cracks in.
"As you may say, isn't it just impossible to anticipate what no one could have expected?
This was the support of the kings, and the flow leaned at once.
I have not forgotten Holdia's conduct towards Fillato, but he said that it would be unfair if we were to assess the fact that he had provided relief and supplies, even though he had been attacked by three countries.
I also agreed with Bernhardt III, the king of the affected country at the time, so I came to the conclusion.
"It is true that the battle is over. Pick it up."
When Bernhardt III says so, the knight instead deepens his confusion.
"In fact, you told him that the battle itself was over, and he asked you to help rebuild the countries with the supplies? If they don't take it, they're going to be punished by King Holdia."
Marius thought, as he tried to oust the envoys of other countries with discretionary decisions, but there is an insanity that war-related envoys are allowed to pass as a matter of priority, and some countries abuse it.
So it's not uncommon to say no at the discretion of the scene if the war is over.
No one will be blamed, especially if the scene rejects Holdia as having a bad precedent and not worthy of credibility.
There were currently no voices questioning the judgment of the guardian of Fort Valdera.
If you just said you were here carrying relief supplies, the conversation would be different, and that's why you called me.
Discussions began at the Kings as to whether they should receive relief supplies from Holdia, but the conclusions will soon be drawn.
Because I don't know how much I need to spend in the future, the realistic idea of receiving whatever I can was overwhelming.
Even though Holdia is cooperative in responding to the crisis of human survival, there are many precedents for this.
Besides, I can't take it from the three countries that were non-cooperative with the demonic army, but from Holdia, who has shown a cooperative attitude, the face of the country will not be hurt.
"Let's gratefully take it. I'll thank you formally later."
Genuine usage and pre-construction are key.
"Then..."
The knight suggests that there is a continuation that seems difficult to say.
Bernhardt III tells me he is terrified when he urges it with his eyes.
"The battle is not over yet. The demon Rubens and the others went into Holdia."
Together, we will face each other again.
Not so many knew the name of Rubens, but many remembered the name of Gaelic.
"With that being said, it looks like the demon Gaelic didn't even show up in the battle earlier."
It was Derek, king of Serraeno, who recognized Gaelic as a resentful enemy to be defeated.
Marius was not particularly surprised because he knew Rubens, Gaelic and Mergen were still alive among the demons Zophi had named.
I didn't say anything, because I couldn't read the devils' actions at all.
I'm glad to say that Asteria was the only one reading why Rubens and Gaelic weren't in the fight and why they destroyed Berganda in the first place.
"May I have a moment?"
Marius makes a slightly nervous voice.
Until now, every raid was spaced apart, so there was undeniably some loosening of mind.
Marius expresses her thoughts as she becomes framed and self-loathes to continue reflecting on her standing.
"I think I should go beyond what could possibly be the worst demon king resurrection"
The kings and others looked at each other, and then their gaze focused on King Philato.
"Strengthen the burden on Lord Marius..."
"This would be my role"
The gaze of the girls concentrates on Marius, who replied with perseverance.
Marius pretended not to notice it and went out with a brief greeting.
