Riot Grasper
[Epilogue]
- Often it flows.
In Erindal, the capital of the Toggle region on the eastern edge of the empire.
There was a man buried in a pile of paperwork in the office.
"Wow! Why do you have so many paperwork to look at today only? Rahal, just be me for a second and take my place."
"Don't be silly. I don't have that power anymore."
"It's a joke, a joke. Still... you've been so helpful and so helpful. If it had been just me, Deacon Regal would have graduated."
After that disturbance came to a paragraph, naturally, the power that had been lent to Rahal was also gone.
It can't be the absence of the lord as it is, so Rick reluctantly returned to Erindal, and it's been months.
"That twin told me so tightly."
When that one settled, Rahal was looking to atone for the sin that drove his former lord to execution.
Ray and Ren said this when Alisha offered to cook and bake and like because she was released safely and could no longer be remembered.
"- Think for yourself about how to make amends."
and.
"Well... apart from that, one shot at a time I got hit with my mind"
"I see... those two do that. So Rahal's dating me until I'm alone as a lord?
Of course, I do not deny that it is part of sin.
However, that's not all it means for Rahal to support Rik.
Rahal stopped his hand, which was helping him with his paperwork, and spoke with a gentle cough as he stared at his roaring friend on the executive desk.
"Uh... you know what?"
"Hmm? What? Change it."
"Rick used to say this, didn't he? I want to make this a country where everyone is free, where they don't discriminate because they're subhuman."
"Oh...... you said it"
"Since that incident, a little bit more and more people are softening their attitude towards subpeople"
A stone thrown by Shania, who has become a dragon form - not something that changes overnight, such as the thought of the people, but the words of the descendants of the Xianlong, who are subject to faith, did not seem to be lighter.
"But the situation is still tough. Making Rick's ideals come true will surely hit a lot of hard things in the future."
"What, what are you trying to say?
That's what they say, and Rahal tries to lighten up somewhere and snap.
"At that time... I was really happy when Rick reached out to me to come back"
For Rahal, who was tired of all sorts of clumsiness in the Imperial capital, the candid offer of his best friend was a very heartwarming one.
Rick hears it and scratches his head with Polypoli.
"... Damn, we're not kids anymore, you don't have to say that, you know"
That's what I said, and I reached out embarrassed.
"Looks like he was flirting with going to Imperial Capital and volunteering for a soldier or ending up in Secret Service or something -... come back, Rahal. Hold on, hold on tight so I can make it easier."
So Rik lifts the edge of his mouth with garlic.
"Now... grab it right?
"Oh, sure."
The moment Rahal tried to reach out without hesitation...
"- Hey! How long have you been stuck in the office? I told you to vacate your plans in advance today!... Why are you both so subtly red?"
Ray, Rick's sister, jumped into the office without a knock.
"Oh, you... knock or so. This one's at work."
"Huh, don't tell me the new American lord looks great, right? Get ready or you'll be late."
"... Hey, sister Ray. If you're going over there anyway, why don't you get dressed over here? You might be surprised if I suddenly visited you in such girly clothes."
"Huh!? What does that mean! Come on, Len! Wait a minute!
Rick smiled with a soft look as he stared at the bumpy and well-motivated twins.
Nor did I expect a day to come when I could return to such a serene routine.
They have nothing but truly thankful words.
"Well... in that sense, you can't be absolutely late today. Let's just get this job done."
Rick, who sat back in the chair with some guy, glanced at the painting on the wall of the office.
There are depictions of three people laughing amicably: Rik, Rahal and Alisha.
"Speaking of which... this painting was decorated here by Rahal, wasn't it?
"Oh. That's right."
That's what Rick said, he began to look for a mess and something from inside the desk, and took out a single painting wrapped in cloth.
"A new painting arrived today. I thought I'd line it up next to it and decorate it."
"Nice, I'll help you."
"-... hum. When you line up like this, it's like it's just me and Rahal who ate old, and it's a little complicated."
The new painting depicts Rik and Rahal laughing as close as they used to be, and Alisha as she remains young.
What is very different from the old painting is that one girl is painted enough beside Alisha in the middle.
"That's good. When you line up like this, you can feel the change in time, right?
"That could be..."
Alisha's daughter - Mihasa - had a very bright and slight grin.
◆◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◆
"- I don't know! It's done!
I shouted so much joy.
"If it's this big, there's gonna be a lot of people living in it."
"Right."
What makes me and Rim so happy is that they finally finished what they were working on over time.
What's that?
It's just a village where many people can live.
… let's talk in order.
- After that commotion, Minister Gilbaran lost his legs.
If Shania in dragon form even tells me that if I do not confess my sins and be judged, I will extinguish them, I will no longer have to obey them.
The words of the descendants of Xianlong, the object of faith, combined with their power to the great, would have seemed to many to be divine.
With the absence of a minister who was troublesome and the safe return of his mother, who had always missed him, Emperor Mihasa regained the majority of his power.
There are also various factions in the nobility, which do not seem to have mastered just about all the forces, but she, with her shackles off, must be exerting that power in full.
If you're going around a village or a city, you can feel it on your skin that the country you were leaning toward is bringing it back a little bit.
... It's the subhuman problem that's making things a little more difficult than before.
It seems to me that the hearsay of a large number of soldiers who heard Shania's words, which could be described as a sacred one, has led to more people not knowing what to believe.
Honestly, it will still take some time on this.
Acknowledging the merits of rescuing Mr. Alisha, and having had the opportunity to be directly thanked by Mihasa during the sight at the Imperial Palace, I also asked him to do so.
I've been thinking about it for a long time, a request to make the Empire a country where subpeople can also live.
Of course, this is not an issue that you can do something about right away, and if you try your best, let's just call it your word.
Nevertheless, what a disgusting outfit to leave the troubles tossed round.
I'm sure you can't just leave these kinds of problems to someone and wait to solve them.
To change everyone's consciousness, everything is important to build up.
I was just wondering if we could do something too - we got to this village.
Like Mr. Rik and Mr. Rahal said, without distinction such as human or subhuman - create a place where everyone can live freely.
It was transferred to execution.
Not so far from the base, there were only unexplored areas, and every place was probably full of forests.
Get permission from the great man to cut down the woods, soak the ground, and tidy the streets.
Exactly, building a house that people could live in would have required hiring a carpenter, as well as an exterior wall to avoid demons.
It took a lot of time and money to complete.
Fortunately, the income earned at the request of the Adventurer Guild was also becoming more expensive, and thanks to frequent requests, what's more, I didn't tell you that I was promoted from Rank A to Rank S the other day.
- Anyway, that's how we built this village.
"Wow! It's really done! Is this size already... not a village, not a city?
"This is just... amazing"
I've rewarded everyone for what is due to be completed today... they rushed to celebrate.
Ren and Ray currently live in Erindal.
Kind of lonely, but it's very natural that Mr. Rick officially became Lord of Erindal and wanted to live with his sister and brother.
They both wanted it, so I dropped it off warmly.
I've been busy lately, so glad to see you both in such a long time.
Ha... kind of like loose a little tear gland.
"Brother Rik and Mr. Rahal should be here soon. Those two were looking forward to seeing everyone today. Look, they took the liquor that was in the warehouse to celebrate and gave it to me, and it's already heavy. They're definitely going to drink enough to take a bath today."
On the side of the horseman on which the two rode, a number of crates containing liquor bottles were tied with rope.
Ren lets him hold the crate and unloads it while it looks heavy.
"... Ray, it's been a long time, too"
"Well... there's something I wanted to tell you right. Will you listen to me?
"Ooh. Oh, my God, change that."
"Good to see you."
"Uh... and"
"I was an enemy at first, and I was really annoyed, but now that I can live in peace like I used to, I think it's all because of you... meeting Sage. The eagle is not an honest personality, so I can't say it well, but..."
Ray offered his hand softly.
- Thank you, Sage.
"... I'm really glad I met Ray, too. Thanks for always stopping me from being impotent."
The hand I shook was shaken back much harder.
"... All right! I also drink eagles thoroughly today. Ren! I'll be ready to throw a banquet whenever everyone's ready."
"Aiya!
- While I was doing that, more and more people were at the banquet hall.
He also tried to hide his face from Mr. Dore, Mr. Cecil, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, Mr. and Mrs. Milley, Ted and Mr. Alba in Dorfoy... and seemed to sneak in.
Shania and Berga also seem to have come all the way from afar, and Tiamo also shows her face in the name of inspection.
I was just surprised when Mr. Rik or Mr. Rahal arrived. Oh, my God, Mr. Alisha was brought with him.
You guys said you were taking the Empress out...... are you okay?
I'm a little worried, but I don't need a reason to celebrate the benefactor of my life, or something in person, so I'll be fine.
Mihasa wanted to come too, but it's just impossible to bring out the emperor.
He reluctantly admitted that Alisha was going to bring back the souvenir story.
- So where the various figures were gathered, the feast began.
By the way, I would like to say a few things that impressed me in particular because it would be chaotic to talk about everything that has been making a scene with everyone.
"- At that time, you didn't just come to Rahal, you even came to Rik to encourage me, did you? I thought you didn't want me to worry too much... Yeah, with two good best friends, I'm a happy guy. To be honest, there were times when I was about to be flattered."
"... hmm? What-"
"Rik! There's good liquor over here!
"Hey, what the heck, don't pull it all of a sudden..."
As Alisha and Rik were talking, Rahal interrupted the story and somehow seemed to be secretly talking to each other, so I eavesdropped on him thinking he shouldn't.
"- Huh!? You encouraged him to look like me, huh?
"Well, when Hela helped me."
"Oh, oh... I know that, but, uh, no, I just encouraged you... is that it?
"... what is it? There was nothing else I could possibly do...?
"Um... I, uh-- the reason you were so desperate... no, it's nothing. Forget it. If that's the case, I'll talk to Alisha well."
... Seriously.
I also imagined that Mr. Rahal was trying so hard because I was allergic and that's what happened.
Something, I'm sorry.
"Damn... I knew you were clumsy in some weird way. Looks like she's still going to show her face to a woman named Hera."
By the way, Hera has been captured and imprisoned just like the minister, but apparently she has lost her memory since she was fascinated by her major crime skills.
Is it a side effect or what I am forced to take away my jealous felony skills? Because maybe she can regenerate.
Probably because he wasn't like that at first.
... I guess that's why Mr. Rahal is going to see her.
Although there will be a lot of problems.
I mean, thinking about it, isn't Mr. Lahar basically a very good guy?
"... - Hmm? Ren, what are you doing? Doesn't sound like a lot of noise."
A person who would be the first to drink and make noise in a banquet hall or something is now sitting in a very tight end seat and moving his hand.
"Is that... drawing something?
"Yeah. It's hard to get a chance for everyone to get together like this, right? Because of this, let's make it a picture."
If you take a peek at that painting, you're pretty good at skipping flattery.
Ren also made furniture and stuff by hand... these things are really clever.
But I'm a little picturesque, too.
I take the blade pen and paint the blank paper with a salad and a person's face.
"Hmm... who is Se drawing... who? Some of us have never met Oyla, have we?
"I'm not here right now, but those are the people I took care of in this world. Anyway, I'd be glad to add these people to Ren's painting."
"Okay, I'll take care of it. Because I will refer to Se's painting and make it a picture that feels like a large circle of people gathered together."
"Thanks...... Len"
"Yeah, I'll give it to Se when it's done"
"- Yay, how are you?
"Shania. Looks like he's having fun."
"Hey, I'm talking about you and Rim traveling tomorrow, is that for real?
... Well, it's true.
When this village was completed, I was thinking of going from the Suaven Empire to another country as well.
In addition to the celebration of completion, this feast can also mean our farewell party.
Maybe that's why so many people showed their faces.
"Why again? Isn't this place finally getting cozy?
"It's too early to live in the same place all the time. The world is huge, and we need to go to more places."
"Well, maybe you'll meet someone else with some serious crime skills?
When that happens, that's when it happens.
If you were a dangerous opponent, you could free him by depriving him of his felony skills.
"Well, I see. But then again, aren't you going to be exposed to the danger of a runoff?
"When that happens, Rim will bring you back to your sanity again. If the other way around... well, let me wake Rim up somehow"
"Huh. Doesn't that mean you'll always be with Rim?
Shania looks at this one, grinning slightly.
What, are you provoking me? Stop it, I'm embarrassed already.
"Don't stir it up weird. More or less, that's where I want it."
Hearing the answer, Shania slipped her body aside with a nasty smile on her face.
"-... because, Rim"
Heh... ha.
Holy shit!! What a dangerous trap.
- Right behind Shania, the rim stood.
Isn't she blushing and leaning?
"Oh, no... the"
"-... I will"
Huh?
With a faintly small voice, Rim did say this.
"- Nice to meet you..."
and.
Ah - Something seems to be turning my head white.
Ugh...
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Len! Give me the booze! One whole bottle of the strongest one!
"Hey, Se!? That's a hell of a strong one with 90% alcohol -"
I'm fine. I possess state abnormality tolerance skills, so long as it's not so much... Oh, what, this is just a little - blind...
Batan, and he fell to the ground.
"Pfft."
Fluffy, feels good.
I feel like I can keep going up to heaven.
Looking up at the sky, I can see the starry sky in a good way as the sun goes down.
Ha... I even feel like it's going to reach me if I reach out.
Because I'm floating, I want to say this out loud now.
This world - it's been reincarnated into a different world, Ealis, and he said it was really good.
I met a lot of people, a lot of people helped me, a lot of people helped me, and I've been helped again.
I want to take care of those connections.
Those connections will continue to grow.
It's all mine.
I won't give it to anyone, and I won't let it break.
When I thought so - tocum, I felt like a little heartbeat.
I snap to talk to the things that live in my body.
"Of course... even my connection to you... I think so"
It's because of you that I think this world is so much fun.
So... yeah, don't think it's that easy to get out of my body, huh?
"Ha ha..."
Anyway, I'm... - I'm greedy.
