Chapter 28 Return (4)
Kugugugu The barrier made a heavy sound.
It was the same start as before. The restoration that started with my own hands gradually expanded its scope.
It certainly looked like a ‘rewind’ as the stone dust gathered and the huge pieces were lifted again.
Even though I was doing it, I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded and overwhelmed by the sight.
“…look at that.”
someone said Right barrier. This is the very location that I had tried so hard to protect from the previous monsters’ all-out attack.
The cracks were aligned as if they had healed. The crack was repaired. The broken balance was shaken up and corrected.
Oh, that small cheer gradually grew louder. The voices of admiration grew louder and small bursts of laughter erupted.
‘…It consumes more mana than I thought.’
I checked Penelope’s cloth tie. It was getting smaller at a fast pace. Even though I ate a dragon heart.
But when you see this scene, you can’t complain. It was as if the barrier was truly turning back time and regaining its former glory.
──When the restoration was completed, the tie became smaller than the palm of my hand. It was such a huge barrier that it suffered severe damage and wind damage.
I was relieved that it was over before I used up all my mana.
“Phew, this is the end. When I look back,
“There are still small cracks and worn parts, but it can’t be helped.”
…All the knights were nodding towards me. Even Sanders, the leader of the knights, and even Ridwi, the head of the family.
It didn’t end there, and the soldiers and prisoners below all knelt down on one knee.
All the people lined up here just calmly and quietly lowered their heads towards me.
“….”
I was speechless and looked at the scene. From above this barrier, every aspect of their posture was visible.
When she saw Aten next to her, she smiled slightly and bowed her head gracefully.
“In the name of the 3rd princess of the Terst Empire, Aten Terst, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of all the citizens of Tayburn.”
I was speechless. I should have answered something like I’m devastated, but I couldn’t. I should have knelt down, but I couldn’t.
I was just in a daze.
Aten spoke again as if he understood my thoughts.
“thank you. “You kept the Tavern.”
* * *
Afterwards, Aten returned to the empire before me. Of course, it was with the accompanying knights.
The barrier had been restored and the immediate problems, such as frequent monster incursions, had been resolved, so there was no reason for Aten to be here.
I said, ‘If you’re late by even one day, my sister will drag you by your hair.’ I don’t know how much of an impact that had.
Cybel also returned. Cassian, who was carrying Cybel, looked back at me for a moment, but that was all. Well, I think that’s the maximum courtesy that Cassian can give.
And I stayed at the Tavern for the rest of the vacation.
The barrier was restored and monsters rarely came, so there was no need to be there, but it was to fulfill a responsibility.
Above all,
“Where are we going?” “The bet isn’t over yet.”
While inspecting on the wall, fellow knight Hector Dutoit sneaked up and said. I laughed along with him.
“You can just assume I lost.”
“Crazy guy? “No one has died yet, so why are you assuming you lost?”
An all-out attack by monsters that I wasn’t there for.
Even in the fierce attacks of the monsters, none of the knights died.
Of course, I returned before the damage became severe, but it was fortunate that no one died during that time.
“When I first came here, I thought he was just crazy, but it wasn’t until today that I realized. “There was no one more completely crazy than you.”
“Hot ha.”
“Does this guy think he’s praising?”
Ironically, my nickname became ‘Crazy Guy’. Not only Hector but also the knights looked at me and laughed, calling me crazy.
When I first came here, the meaning was ridicule, but now I feel strange shaking my head and muttering.
I looked beyond the barrier. The defense wall, which has regained its former glory and grandeur, is very reliable.
Even if I leave, I won’t be able to break into this tavern for a while. There is still a threat from monsters, but this is something that always happens in Tavern.
However, walls only protect the territory and cannot help humanity advance.
It’s such a tough fight just near this border, but what about the monsters lurking deep outside?
“Hector.”
“why?”
“We need you on this wall.”
“Huh? of course. You said it was a name that would remain on the continent for a long time. Even if you leave, this place will be safe.”
“yes. “So”
I looked at Hector.
“If there are things you haven’t finished, finish them in advance.”
“…Huh?”
“Just in case.”
Hector is the son of Lydwi. Nevertheless, the reason why they call themselves Dutoit rather than Urfa is like a petty fight between father and son. At least it’s not something I should interfere with.
But it’s difficult if that stupid fight continues until it’s important.
One day, when humanity pioneers the land, ‘Hector the White Lion’ will be a strong force.
“hmm. okay. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Hector scratched his head. No, this guy probably knows. What is your problem now?
And if it were Hector, the white lion, he would stop his childish fight with his father just by mentioning this much.
Let’s believe so.
* * *
…And then a few days passed again.
Someone knocked and came into my room.
“Are you going back now?”
It was Philly’s escort knight, Robert.
He asked after seeing Selena and I packing up our luggage.
“yes. “Because vacation is coming to an end.”
“It’s a shame. “I want you to stay here.”
“Don’t be horrible.”
We laughed at each other.
I asked Robert.
“Sir Robert. Is the mission not over yet? Even if you are Sir Robert, life here must be painful.”
“yes. “I haven’t received an order to return yet.”
hmm.
Why did Philly send Robert to this dangerous land? Even though time has passed, no further instructions have been given, which only increases doubts.
“…perhaps.”
Then Robert opened his mouth.
“The fact that you sent me to the Tavern itself may not be important.”
“What does that mean?”
“I needed a good reason to distance myself from you. “You might think about it that way.”
Philly distanced himself from Robert?
“It’s too dangerous to drop the knight protecting you.”
“I am not the only one protecting His Highness Fili. “I think they were probably worried about my safety when they sent me to Tavern.”
“…Are you saying that Sir Robert was safer in Tavern than in the palace?”
“It’s just a guess.”
I was lost in thought for a moment.
Robert is a named character so famous that I know his name.
As he said, there are many people who protect Fili, but the knight that Fili trusts the most is Robert.
Therefore, if you had a gut feeling that Robert was in danger, it would not be strange to evacuate him safely.
…But most of the reason Robert is dangerous is probably because he is Fili’s bodyguard.
Since there are many people targeting Fili in the imperial palace, it is almost always the case that Robert, who protects Fili, becomes dangerous.
Therefore, it would be foolish for Fili to keep Robert away from her just because he is dangerous. Because it has no meaning until you die.
But Philly wouldn’t do anything stupid.
In other words, there is an enemy that only targets Robert and does not target Philly?
“When you return to Constel, if you happen to meet His Highness, please tell him my regards.”
“What should I tell you?”
“It would be fair to say that it is quite cold.”
under.
“Lord Robert, you have bravado, too.”
“I need to show off this level of bravado so that Your Majesty can feel at ease.”
A loyalty that seems to reach the sky.
Suddenly, rather fast steps approached my room.
“Early. Aren’t you ready yet? “Everyone is waiting. It’s coming out quickly.”
It was Reedwi. I carried my packed bag and walked out.
“Let’s go Selena.”
“yes.”
Selena didn’t have any luggage to speak of, but she packed a suitcase, which looked strange to others because she was completely bare. Selena carried it and followed after me.
I said to Robert in passing.
“Well then, Sir Robert, see you later. “If possible, in the center.”
“In the center.”
I left the room, went down the stairs of the mansion, and opened the entrance door.
There were knights standing in front of the door. They were not lined up like they were when the wall was restored, but everyone was waiting for me in comfortable clothes.
“Are you going?”
“Gonna miss you. “I want the bet to continue.”
“Come play again.”
Each of the knights said something to me.
I responded to their words and headed towards the sedan that was already waiting.
The driver was waiting in front of it. It was the driver who took me to Tavern. He bowed his head politely next to me and asked.
“Did you enjoy your vacation trip?”
“…If you were the driver I hired, I would have fired you right now.”
“It’s a shame.”
As I am an employee of Ampere, I have no choice but to overlook such trivial teasing.
“But… who is this person?”
The driver looked at Selena and asked.
“Ah my escort. “I hired him at a high cost.”
At my words, the driver looked at Selena for a moment and then spoke to me again.
“…It’s amazing that you even came to this tavern.”
“You hired me?”
It was then.
A loud noise could be heard from afar. There was a mixture of urgent cries and shouts coming from somewhere.
“hey! “You’re not standing there!”
“Okay, it’ll just take a moment! “Oh, I have important business to do!”
what.
I turned my attention towards the somewhat familiar tone and tone of speech.
There, Grobel was still wearing his prison uniform and causing a scene.
My clothes and hair were a mess from how I ran all the way here.
“oh! There it is! “You idiot!!”
When Grobel found me, he screamed loudly.
“You must not forget! My little brother! My brother Rockbell! Please don’t forget! I did my best! So… ahhh!”
With those words, Grobel was completely bound by the knights and dragged away.
“…Tsk.”
“Mr. Frontier?”
When I laughed, Selena tilted her head as if puzzled.
Yes, Grobel.
Never forget.
“never mind. let’s go.”
I got in the car and Selena sat next to me.
The familiar roaring sound of a car’s engine. Now, the car is full of longing rather than joy.
When I looked out the window, I saw the knights and the head of the Ridwi family waving their hands. I waved at them.
The car started and they slowly moved away and I looked ahead again.
“Where can I take you?”
“Can I decide?”
“doesn’t exist. “Let’s go to Roach Manor.”
“Then you should do it.”
The car picked up speed and I leaned back comfortably.
The walls of Tavern, the northern tip of the Empire.
It was a word that did not really fit the grueling fight against the skin-biting cold monster.
Summer vacation is over.
