Epilogue (3) Three Bride
"And then I lost consciousness, and a year and a half passed."
This is the Windor Republic Adventurer's Guild.
It was the master room.
The reception set was so tight that no one would think that there was a confession about the end with a woman who called herself the goddess who had shaken the world.
The giant man sitting in front of me was Giorgio, who controlled the entire Adventurer's Guild. He is usually the guild master of Valhalla, home to King Geoffeld, an ally of the Keith Glen Federation.
Giorgio also came in a hurry to hear that I was awake.
There was only Giorgio here.
The guildmasters and Dantes weren't here.
Giorgio said he wanted to talk alone if he could, and I-- I didn't want to keep it a secret, but I didn't want to worry about Dantes.
(Worried?)
Suddenly, I noticed.
(That's weird, I think. There's nothing to worry about anymore... but the goddess did too.)
Giorgio took a deep breath as he finished listening, smiling bitterly at the strangeness inside.
"... unbelievable, but that's what I'm going to investigate." Let's start by saying thank you. Rage, you saved the world. "
"No, that's not true..."
I didn't feel like I fought to save the world or anything like that.
I was desperate to live, and I just didn't want my loved ones to be goddess puppets.
"What you said does not contradict what the Pope has heard from you. Perhaps it's true... let's investigate the ruins of the temple where you fought with the goddess."
Ah, that's right.
Was that what was left of it?
I don't think there's any more corpses out there, but I don't feel comfortable thinking about what happened there.
What's the matter, Rage?
"No..."
"You can be proud." What you've accomplished is far too great. "
…………
I had noticed that there was someone I didn't like honestly. [M]
"So, what I just heard will be shared with the heads of state as soon as the investigation of the temple ruins is completed." Probably won't take long... a month or so early. If that happens, every country will want to invite you and the members of the "Silver Balance" to hold a victory parade. "
Is that a battle parade?
"This is crazy, isn't it? You're the only ones who fought, and most countries were just rushing to build the Goddess Temple." But that's the kind of country that would love to entertain you. Maybe it's because I was responsible for building the goddess temple. "
"Haa..."
"You may have heard from Dantes, but every country will want to have you." There must be a huge offer... but don't make it easy. Of course, if you really want to work in that country, you can. You're free. "
…………
"What? You don't look like you're floating."
"No, no... that means you'll end up tied up in that country, right?"
"I can't say that after all... but as an adventurer, I might ask you to make me an exclusive contract." Nevertheless, I can't refuse the favor any more than I got the money. I'm not free anymore. "
"Yes....."
I was still lost in the two choices that Lark had pushed against me.
A shackle to get it all.
Freedom to get nothing.
"Hey, Rage, this is your chance to earn the fame that every adventurer desires." Don't get me wrong, okay? I wouldn't say anything if you became my next adventurer guildmaster. "
Hahaha, Giorgio-sama is laughing.
"That's right..."
Every adventurer... I wonder if Dantes or Mino was aiming for that as well.
A reputation comparable to that of a story hero.
If Mr. Dantes had been in that position from the beginning, many would have tried their best to save him, even if he had been poisoned by petrochemicals.
Mr. Mino and Mr. Non didn't struggle so much.
"It's an honor... so much for me."
My answer, though, was definite. [M]
"I choose freedom."
I was troubled, troubled, troubled.
It was clear that my decision would have a big impact on the others.
"... can I ask you why?"
Perhaps the answer was as expected, but Giorgio-sama was not so surprised.
Reason.
Is that a reason?
"I was... a slave." I'm a mine slave. "
What came to my mind when I made my decision was the scene in the mine.
There's Lark and there's an old hinge.
If Lark isn't here--if she doesn't find her gifted pearl.
Without the old hinge, the old man would give me a lesson and show me the way forward.
A mine collapse must occur.
I guess I still work in the mines.
I am here now that coincidences have piled up. [M]
The most important thing to me is... "freedom" after all.
Is that so?
I guess Giorgio didn't know who I was, but I was more surprised.
However, I seemed to be convinced by that.
"Excuse me."
"Sometimes I apologize for something. It's your life, you decide. Nevertheless, the nations know that you are staying here. I have about a month before I return to Valhalla and let the world know what you said. Right now, the Adventurer's Guild, that is, they think I'm going to decide the future, so they won't give me a hand, but if you choose freedom, countries will come to you."
"Um... yes, that's right."
Being free also means that you have to protect yourself.
If you're just an adventurer, you'll also see the nobility of the royal dukes who are pressing for high pressure to obey you.
"There's only one month left." Be prepared. "
One more month.
I see.
Dear Giorgio,
“Okay, I'll be ready.”
Meanwhile, he says, "Disappear."
"... I really don't want the hero of the Saviors to imitate me like a night escape..."
No, thank you for your concern.
"At least you have a farewell from me. Will you take it?"
…………
"Hmm, what's wrong?" It's not like there's something behind it. It's a pure farewell. "
"Ah, no... I just remembered the old days."
It is time to leave the kingdom of Kulvahn.
When I was being chased from my country because of my "black hair and black eyes", the Mule Borderland Uncle gave me a dagger saying "goodbye".
I thought that Giorgio-sama had a similar atmosphere to the Muir Frontier Resort.
"It's like wearing it, but can you take it?" "I have enough for the party members"
Thank you very much.
I laughed and nodded. [M]
"This way, thank you."... I know you're a tremendously capable adventurer, but let me tell you this. If anything happens, I will always be able to help. Feel free to contact me anytime. "
Giorgio offered his right hand, so I changed my grip.
Yes, thank you.
I'm sure the connection with this person will never go away.
After all, I think I'm an adventurer when I get my freedom.
City of Valhalla, Keith Glen, United States
"... hmmm. I don't know if I can get everything in this world, or if I'm going to throw away my money."
It was King Geoffert, an ally of the Keith Glen Federation, who heard Rage gained his freedom before the adventurer Guild Giorgio returned to Valhalla City.
“Yes, it's not entirely accurate, but the spy report is probably 80% correct.”
It was the Prince who answered.
The prince, who is already in the first years of life, is the son of King Geffelt.
Although he himself is competent, he is still the prince because King Geffelt, who is called a "masterpiece", is still in active service.
My father, King Geffelt, was also "dying scam" this time.
--Not this time. When I heard the name "goddess", I learned that it was time for me to die.
When the battle with the goddess began, you were saying that, but you survived.
I think I'll die before my father, in aging.
The prince thought that, and he was already optimistic.
“Countries still believe that Adventurer Rage can be welcomed to a top Guild position or head of one of the Keith Glen Commonwealth countries. If the talk of refusing to do that spreads....."
The battle begins.
"That's right, but we don't have any competitors right now. Would you like to go?"
There is no one in this room except King Geoffeld and Prince Geoffeld, who sat in the chair.
said the king.
"... don't put your hands out."
“How's it going?
"Keep watching... no, don't say watch, let's say hello properly." And don't scout. If you can ask me for advice or help, I'll answer. Keep your distance. "
"Is that all right?" if it's taken by another country..... "
"There's no way they're going to take it." If you're scared, you're on Giorgio's invitation. "
"Haa..."
Unsatisfied with the prince, the king says.
"Listen, don't even try to reach out." Think of this as my will (...) "
"... I understand."
The Crown Prince narrowed his mind —— rather, he nodded and left the room with the thought, "Here we go again..."
"Well......"
King Geffelt looks out the window.
It overlooks a beautiful sunny garden with a magnificent view of the city of Valhalla beyond.
"What are you going to do now, adventurer who has gained freedom?" Escape from the public eye and live in hiding? Or are you trying to manipulate the world from the shadows? Even if you choose not to be on the stage, the world still needs your power. "
Sure enough, the super-aged king with a smile still seemed to be in active service.
I turned down Giorgio's offer---saying so, Dantes grinned and slapped me on the head.
"Yeah, that's fine."
I've already told this story to Mr. Dantes.
Mr. Dantes, strangely enough, said the same thing as Mr. Giorgio.
It's your life, you pick it.
That's right.
"So... what Giorgio said is that this story will spread in about a month, so if you want to run away, you should do it now."
"Oh, that's true, too." Mimino, let's go as planned. "
"Hey, hey, hey."
"As planned," said Mr. Mino, "I'm twisting my neck."
"I thought maybe Raige-kun might give it to Giorgio-sama (...) and give a good reply ~." That's why I didn't tell you what we were going to do. "
Ugh
No, I'm not going to get rid of it easily! I'd like to say, but there was definitely a danger...!
The Mino-san who thinks so much is amazing.
So, what's the plan?
"Oh, I was thinking of going to see Non first. With the permission of the Pope, we decided that we could go to our party.”
Nong-san, you've earned the right to be with Dantes.
"Next, we'll go to the half-ring." I didn't contact my hometown at all, so my father told me to come home once and for all. "
Oh, the half-ring!
I wonder what kind of half-ring town is famous for being a chemist.
When asked, it was different from Satoshi, the birthplace of the Duke of Ebeneu in the kingdom of Kulvane. I wonder how many half-ring places there are... "
Then I went back to my room to get ready for myself.
Supii...
…………
"I can't... ah, kid... no, ah, I'm your wife..."
…………
"Fugiya!?"
I jumped out of my bed with a chop in the head of a cat-beast.
"Oh, no, what are you doing, little man!" No, it's a skeleton pussy that puts a hand on my wife! "
"In your dreams, there are dreams that you can dream, and dreams that you can't dream, right?" About when did you get married, Zelie-san? "
"... that's not true, either."
“You have to agree. There.”
Zeli said that she didn't want to hear any vivid thoughts.
"Yes, I'm leaving town, so please be prepared."
"Oh, so that's what happened?" Is that all right with Master Giorgio? "
"It felt like I couldn't help it..."
"That's it." It's easy to think that you'll have a hard time explaining it to the world, but that person will also have a hard time. That's Master's job. "
Next, Zelie smiles.
"So... what's the other problem?"
"What? What is that?"
"Once again ahhh. What a toboggan ~"
"No, I really don't know." What is it? "
Hah...... Zelie, who sighed, shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.
I don't know, this annoying reaction.
"You're right. Anastasia-chan, Miss Eva, and your beauty sister." Who's your son? "
"Eh... eh?"
"I think you should decide not to." The season for women is short. It's just that your kid's been asleep and wasting everybody's whole year. "
"No, no, wait a minute. What, the main order?"
"Once again ahhh. What a toboggan ~"
Hah...... Zelie, who sighed, shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.
So stop it.
"Anastasia-chan has been waiting for you to wake up. Miss Eva, who is still in the mansion, came to see her son on a busy official business. A beauty-shaped onee-chan who's always been with you while saying," I've been brought. "I'm telling you to decide who your son is."
"No, no, no, no... I..."
"There's no blood connection between you and your sister, right?" I can cum! "
No, it's not that!
I don't know what to do.
Suddenly, Ms. Zelie's face turned real.
"I told you, kid. The season for women is short. If you don't make up your mind, you're wasting their time. Or would you like to take all three of them away in polygamy?"
Ah, what a mistress! Even though Zelie had tea for the last time... she was still serious about what she was saying.
"Um... I guess that's true. The three of you..."
"That's an unexpected reaction!" Divide your little one into the occasional adult-like things, this kind of place is ingenious. "
It can't be helped! Even when I was in Japan, she wasn't there!
“You'll see. It's obvious. Beautiful sisters can be a little confusing, but you just have to push them.”
"That doesn't mean you can go..."
"Onee-chan is also unreasonable." I just don't know what to do, that's all. "
Mr Zelie got out of bed.
"Miss Eva can't stay here that long, can she?" Not to mention if your little one is going on a journey, I have to tell you now. who you choose. "
"That's..."
"You're busy with all sorts of changes in your country, aren't you?" If that's the case, you'll look cute if you keep your kid tied up forever. "
"Shackling--"
I thought it was different, but it might be the case from the side.
"Even Anastasia, you've been looking at this one so hard." If you're going to be at the same party from now on, I need to make it even clearer. "
"Ugh..."
I can't believe Mr. Zelie pushed me.
Well, then, I'll go, so please make up your mind.
I left the room through the door.
…………
What do we do? Decide? Which one of the three will you choose... me?
Seriously, I've never thought about love or anything like that.
Because in this world, we were doing everything we could to live.
"--Oh, of course, you can choose me." I'll be waiting for you in the room! "
Suddenly the door opened and Zelie left a discard dialogue, so I thought my heart would pop out.
"Please go away!"
Yes, yes ~
The door was closed.
I feel a strong sign of moving away.
Alright... you're completely gone.
"Huh..."
I sat down in the chair. [M]
"What should I do..."
Riches and fame, freedom.
I was much more lost than when I was forced to choose those two--
No.
I wasn't lost.
After being pushed by Zelie-san, my mind was already set.
…………
I don't think this feeling will wobble.
Then we'll just have to do what we have to do.
Let's go.
I left the room and went to the room where she (...) was supposed to be.
