Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

08. Good Men, Emperors and Fate Meet

"Stop it!

"Hmm?"

As usual this day, out in the city with Ange, a swordswallowing voice popped into my ear.

I turned to my voice.

In the boulevard where the inhabitants of Molek go, a girl is tangled up by a man.

The girl would be about 16 years old. She seems like a strong girl, but she's a pretty girl with no complaints about her noticeable nose.

Is the other guy around twenty? The face itself is neat this way, but I feel sorry for the lightness that preceded me.

The man dictates with a complaining that he has been thin or something, and the girl hates it.

That's a nasty bunch of nappies.

The passers-by around are either looking at the far-roll or watching and pretending not to look at me.

"Dear Alec, I have to help you"

"Yeah, let's help. Ange stays with me. [M] And healing magic is always available."

"Yeah!"

Cute Ange to be intent on. Take her like that, and go towards the two of us.

"Why don't you stay around?

"Don't interrupt me - you're a kid. It's ten years early for a child to imitate a righteous ally."

"Sleep"

It's also a waste of time to ask questions. I sank with the magic of sleep.

The man collapsed in an instant and began to build a nose lantern in the middle of the boulevard to take a nap.

The treatment of this man is behind us, and I wonder if the child involved is okay.

When I turned to the girl thinking so, she stared at me with a very serious face.

"What's going on? There's something on my face."

"Yeah, it's nothing. Thank you."

"That was a disaster. Are you hurt anywhere?

"Yeah, I'm fine. Because they just grabbed my wrist."

"Oh, there's a scratch on my wrist."

"You just got your nails caught when he fell. It's no big deal."

"Ange."

"Yes! Mmmmmmmm...... heels!

Ange stepped forward and put her hands on the girl.

It's the fruit of training with me. Ange was a very good hand and dealt with the magic of healing.

The red scratches on the white skin heal within a glare.

Meanwhile, I decided to treat the man.

Hands on him with his nose lantern, chanting magic.

"Climb Cuffs"

Drawing knowledge from the stone of the wise, the magic I remember.

The spell became a light tattoo, creating a circle on the man's right wrist.

Look, it's a circle that looks like a bracelet.

Then take the parchment and pen from the pocket and write it down with the intent of an official document.

The right-hand bracelet is a magically crafted object that can be tightened tightly if you try to commit a crime.

I'll keep you in a year, so come to the mansion.

I filled in the effects of magic cuffs, climb cuffs, signed my signature as a baron, and made him sneak into the man's nose.

Almost the same time this one ended, so did Ange's healing magic.

"Good day, Ange"

"Eh heh..."

Ange hung up happily.

"My name is Eliza. Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome. I'm Alec, this is Ange. Greetings."

We left the scene where the girl was involved and entered a nearby coffee shop.

After naming it all, Eliza asked.

"Still, you can use difficult magic even though you're still a child"

"You know what I mean? About that."

"It's the first magic I'll try, but I know it's advanced magic. 'Cause it's magic that makes it work for a long time."

"I'm sorry."

Eliza is right.

Attack magic and healing magic are not often difficult to say.

Nor is the magic of radically changing the nature of things the finest in difficulty.

It's hardest to use magic to keep the "magic effect" going for a long time.

"How long does the effect last, that"

"It's permanent."

"Persistence!?

Stunning Eliza.

I knew it would last, but the reaction was that I didn't think it was permanent.

"Yeah, they either die or I disarm them or they don't disappear. It's magic that keeps you from doing bad things, so it doesn't make sense if you don't last as long as you can."

"Eternal magic... you mean magic as rumored"

"Huh? What did you just say?

"Nothing."

Eliza snapped something with her nagging additions and subtractions, but when she heard that, she was deceived in some way.

"You put him on trial."

"Yeah. I do lords around here, I'm the son of the Carlisle family. I've been doing that with your father's help lately."

"You mean you're judging bad guys from day to day? With that magic."

"Right."

Though not intended.

"Yes, you do trouble. You know, I wish I could just bust into a cabin."

"That's not very good."

"Why?"

"Do you know about the post-mortem trial?

"Of course. After you die, you're talking about a theory that counts good and bad behavior in life and ranks rebirth with it."

It's not theory, is it?

I actually went through it, I was reborn as Alexander Carlisle without erasing my memory due to a slight mistake, so I know it's not a "theory" or anything, it's actually something.

"It's easy to lock up people who have committed crimes, but then it's the same thing they do with good deeds and deprive them of the opportunity to get their asses in the final judgment"

"So let it go, let it change."

"Yeah, that magic for that. Because it's magic that you can react to if you do something wrong. If I keep doing bad things, my wrist's gonna get ripped off."

"But it doesn't matter. Some people only do bad things, right? I don't care what your wrist is."

"People like that... I'm sorry, but it's best if I kill you"

"You want me to kill you?

"Before you do too much evil."

I killed 461 people and remembered about the bandits reborn in Mijinko.

If that person had been killed the other way around at the time he killed the first one, the next life would be poor, but I think he would remain human.

If I reborn early, I should be able to reset my memory and personality again.

So I think it's a good idea to kill (stop) the bad guys who can't help you early.

Don't judge me, I feel strongly about helping.

"Hmm."

"I don't know."

"You're not a child."

"I think so."

I laughed bitterly.

I stuck around and talked.

I usually try to behave as the right kid for some years, but for some reason, I seriously talk about being Eliza's opponent.

"And he's a lot of good people."

"How about that?

"I didn't praise you, because it's the way you think about losing money. Good people usually lose money."

"Oh well."

That may indeed be the case.

But I think that might be all right.

Eliza laughed.

"But I like you."

"Really?

"I would have made you a lover if I was a little older."

"Thanks"

Even if it was flattering, I was a little happy.

On my way home after I broke up with Eliza.

Ange, who walks side by side with me, was somewhere blurred.

"What's wrong, Ange?"

"Mr. Eliza. You were a beautiful man."

"You think so?

"Yeah. My eyes were so beautiful when I was talking to Master Alec"

"It is."

I don't even know what to say.

Eliza said I was not a child, but I was thinking the same thing.

She looks like a 16-year-old girl, but her mental age is a little bit higher.

"I wonder if I can be one too"

"Well, it's the eyes of someone who, because of family circumstances, has stood behind the family's economy since childhood."

"Really? Uh, a struggling person?

"Right, someone who carries in hardships he doesn't want, but isn't rotten. It's precious."

"That's right..."

"I'm beautiful, but Ange should be a different type of beautiful eye if she stays like this, so don't push me and go that way"

"Yeah, okay. I will do as Alec says."

"Good boy."

I stroked Ange's head.

Ange laughed at me and looked at me with a twisted eye.

"What's going on?

"Dear Alec, I wonder if I can help that person..."

I see, did you react to the "I'm carrying in the hard work," Ange?

"Well, I'll help you when the time comes."

"- Yes!

"Ange is a good girl. It's gonna be a good life in the next life."

"Is it true! Then I, the next life, would be better with Master Alec!

Angel's unfavor is a little awkward.

"Shall I hold hands?"

"Yes!"

With Ange, I held hands and went back to the mansion.

usual walk, peaceful time.

It's like my heart will be washed.

as soon as he stepped onto the mansion grounds. That was all plump.

"There's a gap. No, no, no!

With a call from the shadows, my father came to slaughter me with tremendous momentum.

He swung a sword made to slay a horse on the battlefield, more gigantic than his own body, and slashed it on me.

Produced a flaming magic sphere.

Demonic power and turn it around with tremendous momentum in the air.

At high speed rotation, he intercepted his father's great sword with a magic ball that had been rounded in an instant.

Just like the other day, a magic ball melted the Great Sword like butter.

"Uhm!! That's my Alec. I made it easy for you to make special orders made by Orihalcon."

"What is Olihulkon doing until he bothers to make it out of such super rare metals?"

"Hehe."

Father cleverly slammed his mouth.

I was freaked out. I had a bad feeling.

'You mean if you invite His Majesty the Emperor to do this accidentally, you can naturally appeal to Alec's genius!

I remember clearly what your father said the other day.

The exact same form of ambush, but a one-ranked raid using a rare metal called Orihalcon.

This is no way...

"Father, I don't know, I've really done it, it's not going to happen."

"You're not gonna do that! It's done to my Alec, it can't be done."

"Is that true?

I turn my suspicious eyes to my father - he confessed without even having to.

"Hmm. If there is, 'I did it'."

……

I thought they were worse. You're a convicted criminal!

This... is coming.

Definitely coming.

And it is seen.

My father has been seen appealing to "my Alec".

I should have stopped harder. I didn't really expect to pull His Majesty the Emperor.

Sometimes execution is not a virtue, Father.

"You're a son, Sir Carlisle."

"I'm afraid so."

"And he's just a son to Sir. If I had been born in the Emperor's house, I would have been a famous man instead of the rest."

"You're absolutely right!

I heard a majestic voice from beyond my father.

Even in the words of irony, Father was very pleased in that I was being lifted.

I thought I had no choice but to say hello.

"Huh? Eliza, your sister?

"To?"

Surprised by Ange's words, I see again those beyond my father.

That was the one who helped the whole city earlier, Eliza.
