Episode 216: The Strongest Sage, Getting Inaccurate Rumors Spread

Then, roughly an hour later.

The three of us were in one of Baron Lelaire's rooms, meeting his father, Castle.

"Matty, it's been a while!

"Long time no see, Matty! If you think I haven't seen you in a long time, I'm surprised you're a baron.... Should I use respectful language?

"I don't need a salute. Nobility is extraordinary."

I don't have that conversation with my father Castle I haven't seen in a long time.

Both of you, you look good.

"Not only did I become a nobleman, but I caught three girls..."

That's what my brother Lake says, he sees the Luriis.

It's like these three are my lovers or something.

"I didn't catch anything else... These three are my party members."

"Really?

"Oh. I threw a party with a second school student and this is what happened."

"... I see"

When I said party member, I felt like Lurii looked sorry... well, it must be my fault.

Speaking of which, I wonder what my hometown looks like.

"How's the Hildesheimer's lately? Bifgel was the same..."

"There's no big case, and it's peaceful. The only anxiety element was Bifgel, but I don't think I'm too worried because I've officially decided to take over."

I see.

Now, just in case, Bifgel is no longer likely to be a lord.

It would be the best news for the inhabitants of the territory.

"That kind of Matty seems to be working great. Rumors have reached the countryside where we live."

"... what rumors?

"Mattie defeated the Demon Nation by herself, or flipped the education of the Royal Second College... Recently, there have been rumors that he defeated the giant Dark Dragon that appeared in the Wang Capital."

... the noise in the Wang capital seemed to have been passed down to his brother Lake.

Well, changing the educational content of the Royal College may not help if it does make a scene.

Some rumors seem to be wrong.

"The dark dragon that showed up in the king's capital, you mean the eagle, right? I haven't been defeated... '

'That sounds a lot like an inaccurate rumor...'

The last dark dragon is probably about Illis.

If so, instead of knocking it down, I'm right in front of my brother Lake...

While I think about it, I'll get to the bottom of it.

"So, that's why I'm here today...... you hear more?

"Oh. We're talking about Matthias and the four of us sneaking into the empire and knocking down the dolls, aren't we?... Do you have any idea where the puppeteers are?

"We're going to look for enemy locations, but I don't think the more we infiltrate over there, the harder it will be. If you run a doll of that size, it'll stand out even if you don't like it."

No matter how many puppets are capable of automatic action, the instruction to leave must come from the outside.

If you succeed in infiltrating, it won't be hard to find that place.

If the doll had accompanied me to the doll, I would have figured it out without having to infiltrate it.

"... no matter how strong Matthias is, he's going to infiltrate another country. Watch your surroundings."

"Oh. Especially since they have demons."

Well, the truth is, I don't feel like a demon.

Due to the size of the doll and the way it moves, the people gathering vitality for the doll won't be paying any attention to the Baron Lelaire raid.

Let the abandoned pawn humans direct the doll to ascertain the usefulness of life force, or something to that extent, I guess.

... It would be easier said than done if the Demons came out nearby. If you knock it down, it's over.

"Even if Matthias is okay, are the other three okay? I hear the second graders are very strong this year, but infiltration will require another ability?

You may be worried about your brother, Lake.

If it's just the way you look, the three Luriis are normal girls.

In fact, all three of them are stronger than my father, Castle, and they are so sturdy that they can't compare to humans, etc., to the Iris.

"It's okay! The eagles can fight demons, and they already have experience infiltrating!

"Me and the others, about a week ago, I snuck into a town with about twenty demons, and I wiped out all the demons that were there!

"We're just helping, Matty, and you're pretty much the one who actually defeated the Demons."

Hearing Lurii and the others answer, my brother Lake and father Castle look surprised.

"... I heard it was Matthias' party and I thought it must be strong... I didn't know it was that strong..."

"Could it be that you were born in the second school today and you're just such a strong person? I'm also convinced that the second grad student this year will be described as a monster."

"No, the three of my parties are especially strong among the second grad students. Ordinary second-school students can gather dozens to defeat one junior demon."

If all the second-school students were as strong as Lurii and Alma, the Demon Clan in the example would have been defeated before we went to see it.

Nevertheless, today's second grad students have just begun training in unchanging magic, and by the time they graduate, it's not strange that they're stronger than today's Lurii and Alma.

... Though by then, Lurii and Alma will be stronger than that.

"Dozens of Demons... Still amazing enough..."

"A few years ago, the Knights defeated the Demons, but at that time, I'm talking about gathering nearly 500 elites from adventurers to knights to finally defeat them. Apparently, the opponent was the weakest of the demons, but still nearly a hundred people were damaged. I had a little situation, and I wasn't allowed to participate."

Did you defeat the Demons with 500 knights?... That would be amazing.

Speaking of weapons, chanting magic is a low-performance demon sword made of magic, magic is difficult to use but chanting magic is also less powerful.

In this situation, I thought that even if we formed an army of nearly 10,000 people, we could not defeat the Demons and others.

"How the hell did you take him down?

"We all shoot magic in at once, and the rest is just total force. I still don't know why I was able to defeat him... but I heard that the adventurer who came all the way from abroad to join the crusade was so strong that he stabbed me in the stomach."

"An adventurer from abroad?

Just a strong adventurer.

... thats also like taking part in a crusade operation that takes place in a foreign country on purpose.

... Could that be someone I know?

"Oh. The name is for sure... Gil. Oh, my God, it's him. Looks like you made a little noise after you defeated the Demons and left for the festival."

It's Gil 'as......

I probably wasn't simply interested in not being at the celebration.

When the battle is over, the rest is used.

"But, Gil, I think Matty's stronger than anything else."

"That's for sure. I'm talking about Matty defeating the Demons on his own."

To the words of my father Castle, my brother Lake nods.

It is true that I am stronger than Gilás.

In fact, we fought directly.

Here my father, Castle, once cut the word.

And then I just think a little bit and open my mouth.

"... Matthias is strong. So I won't stop infiltrating the Empire... but make sure you all come back alive. Never be alarmed."

"I promise."

Thus, my reunion with my father, Castle, was over.

All we have to do is infiltrate the Empire, defeat the Dolls, and then defeat the Demons behind the Dolls.

... The Demons seem to be linked to the country, so it's going to be such a big job... let's hope it's an interesting development at best.

If it was one Miscellaneous Fish Demon or something that came out of all this fuss, it would be a clap out.
