The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

A large city built in the center of the Deltilado Basin, the royal capital Dite.

The city, which was devastated by the "Lion God Zhong" (Pilea Fidelis), has begun to regain its original appearance.

The hearts of the inhabitants may not be restored to their original state, but I believe that time will restore them to their original state.

Just like Beato healed my heart.

Continuing on from that time, we left the armor shop to go sightseeing in the royal capital.

This time, Riff-chan is with us.

I couldn't leave her alone, she's a lonely girl.

We took a quick tour of the east section of the living area and came to the downtown Chuo district for a while.

It's a big city with brand new buildings that have just been fixed up and a lot of people coming and going, just like the first time I visited.

It's a bit hard to believe that Empireo and I were fighting in this area.

Well, let's see where I'll start: ......

I just came out with no plan. Riff-chan, is there any hope for you?

Uh, uh, uh, ......

Riff looks troubled, or maybe he's just too upset about it.

He's just overwhelmed by all these people.

Where does Beato want to go-- Beato?

I was about to ask Beato's opinion too, but he was staring somewhere.

'What are you looking at?'

.......... and there's .......

Beato pointed to a square off the street where a large crowd of people had gathered.

In the center of the square, you can see something like a statue standing there.

What is that thing? There has never been a square like that before. ......

You want to go?　This could be the newest spot in the reborn royal city.

Yeah. Let's go over there first.

We entered the square and waded through the crowd to reach the middle of the square.

The statue that stood there left me speechless.

''This is ......, it's moderately well done. ......

......!

That's great, big sister!

That's right, Riff, that's me.

Beato's eyes are sparkling, and Quina, don't stare at the lines and details of his body.

Uh, what?

Killier, the hero who defeated the disaster of King's Landing?

No, you're right.

Whoever put up a statue of a man without his permission.

"...... hmm?　Isn't that Killian the Brave?

Where?　That girl?　Lies, real!

'Seriously!　Why are you here!

And as expected, it was a no-brainer.

The people around me noticed me.

It's just a matter of time before things get worse.

...... guys, let's get out of here.

......!

It's not going to be easy to relax and see the sights. ......

I carry Beato in my arms as a princess and jump off the crowd.

Quina followed me with Riffy in her arms.

We continued on for a while, until we came to the outskirts of the square, where there were few people.

...... Huh? Why is there a statue of me up there?

It can't be helped. There is a statue of Jibun here and there, and that's what a brave man does. And Kirie is the most successful brave man of all time.

That's not gonna cut it.

I can't even walk out of the house in this way.

But still, who in the world has ever heard of my statue: .......

You're not going to be able to get it.　Is that the brave Kirie-san?

Yikes, again: ......

I thought I'd been noticed again .......

This time it was just a familiar face I hadn't seen in a long time.

'Oh, I knew it!　Hey, girl, over here!

What's wrong, Bute? It's not fair.

A one-armed demon girl who was carrying construction materials on her shoulder.

She put a huge package on the ground and then cheerfully beckoned to a woman who was also a demon over there.

'Oh, Lord Kirie, and Lord Beato. It's been a long time. I've heard of your activities.

'Mr Leah, and Mr Bute. Why are you in King's Landing ......?

I can't believe that two generals, the pride of the Corcute, are doing something like civil engineering work in the royal capital.

It's a surprising encounter in an unexpected place.

"We owe a great debt of gratitude to Queen Pernet for her post-war assistance in the defeat of Tartus. Therefore, His Majesty Seitam has ordered us to provide all the support possible.

I'm a lady's maid!　I'll follow you wherever you go, young lady!

Mr. Bute hugs Leah's arm tightly.

These two people are as close as ever, aren't they?

It's a good idea to have a good time. Then do you know anything about that statue?

If he was working in a place like this, he might know something about it.

So I asked him.

'That statue? ....... As a matter of fact, a citizen's group has asked us to put up a statue of the hero of our nation's salvation: ......

...... so I got it up.

No, the finished product was delivered at the same time as my request. So I couldn't just say no to .......

Why did you get so motivated to do it ......?

No, I'll definitely say no if they put me through, so it's the right thing to do, though.

Well, let's see, Beato had a twinkle in his eye.

If the boy was happy with it.

"....... So, are you two friends of Lady Kirier?

'Yeah, something like that. This is Riffy and this is .......

...... Ah, Riff, you are shy.

He's hiding behind Quina.

And this is Quina.

Um, nice to meet you.

Yeah, nice to meet you. ...... Mm, Quina. ......?

He was about to shake hands with her when Leah stopped moving, looking like she was caught up in something.

''Quina....... Don't tell me you are the legendary knight-brave who fought against Empireo along with Kirie-dono--

Oh, you knew the details of the situation.

Leah, like Ilaria, was named after Celia.

She's the hero I've always wanted to be, so to speak. ......

...... givens are quinnas.

No, but you're--

'Quinnass. Celia is - Celia, the knight-brave, is a person who died two thousand years ago. She shouldn't be alive in this day and age.

I shouldn't be alive, I felt something like remorse from Quina as she said that.

The reason I'm alive now is because of the girl named Quina who died.

That's why I have to live that girl's life too.

But that's kind of sad. ......

The other side of the world is the same as the other side.

The next step is to resume sightseeing. Where do you want to go next?

You're smiling, but you also look somewhat vacant.

I'm sure I should say something as a friend, but what should I say to her?

...... Quina's lady.

Yuck.

Riff-chan, who had been hiding behind Quina until now, tugged at Quina's clothes.

'Riff-chan?　What's going on?

'You know. Um, ....... Riff, I don't know how complicated this is, but I think she's a lady, ......, right?

Riff-chan: ......

That girl's words were stilted, but I think she captured the essence of what she was saying.

As proof of this, Quina smiled and gave Riff-chan a quick peck on the head.

...... Okay, we shouldn't make it any darker than it needs to be, right?

It's best to end this conversation here and change the subject.

...... You know what, why don't we go to a decorator's shop next?

Ornaments?　What is this?

I wanted to disguise myself. ...... I don't want to be surrounded again.

I want glasses or a mask or something to hide my face for now.

I really, really want something that hides my face.

"Oh, it's tough being a celebrity. Isn't it hard to live a normal life from now on?

'It's all right. Queen Perne has been working on the reconstruction of Libo's village. I'm going to live there with Beato afterwards.

Moving out of King's Landing, eh? I'll miss you. ......

Quina is right: .......

I won't be able to see everyone as easily from now on, right?

...... No, that's right.

It's a very good idea. Why don't you and your friends become inhabitants of Libo's village?
