Vol 3 Chapter 50

Chapter 50 – End of Relapse **TL: 再燃してしまいました can someone give a better t.i.tle?**

Part 1

I got to the Royal Castle to report this case to the Swedes King.

While still taking damage from the story a while ago, I was walking in the Royal Castle of the Swedes Kingdom.

“s.h.i.+n, don’t make such a tired face”

“Whose fault is it, eh? Who!”

“Don’t say such things like Merida-dono. Well, the citizen wish to read your story, you better just give up and become the entertainer. The royalties will join too, you know?”

“I don’t need your money!”

“That said. The price for the communication tools and the price of the defensive magic tools, this time you’re also awarded by the Royalties, right?

“What! I’m so envious of s.h.i.+n-kun!”

“Then would you like to switch, Alice?”

“Well… being exposed in the kingdom is a little…”

“It is after all!”

“That aside, if a hero who had subjugated devils wears such a face, everyone will be worried. You should put on a brave front even if it’s forced.”

“…… Even though 99% of it was caused by…”

“Ha ha ha, ops, it seems we’ve arrived.”

You cheat!

I’d like to pursue Gus but since we’ve indeed arrived, I can’t anymore.

The soldier who guided us was perplexed…

When the soldier knocked on the door of the office, a middle age man’s voice was heard from the inside, giving the permission to enter the room.

Inside the room was a man with a stout build, with a brown mustache and a gray hair sitting on a chair. There is a blonde man wearing an armor on his side, and an old man who seems to be a civil officer.

“It’s been a long time, King Suido.”

“Oh! Your highness Augustus!”

The stout man seems to be the King. When he rose from his seat, the King grasped Gus’s hand and gave a word of thanks.

“This time I had great support from Earlshyde Kingdom… If not for the communication device… If not for the defensive magic tool preventing the devils attacks… And if not for Your Highness… This Swedes Kingdom might have gone to dust. Really–thank you very much!”

“No, devils are a threat to the world. It is only a natural thing as a person living in this world.”

“Nevertheless, it is a fact that you protected the Swedes Kingdom. I thank you once again. Please also tell His Majesty that I want to give my thanks to him directly.”

“Understood.”

While looking at King Suido and Gus’ exchange, the blonde soldier at the side who refrained from talking, asked.

“And, who is this s.h.i.+n = Walford who built that defensive magic tool?” **TL: I don’t know what that = sign there**

“Ah, I(ore)…. I am.(watas.h.i.+desu)” [1]

“Oh, it is you! Because of your defensive tools we were able to defend this country. I also heard the damage to my subordinates are minimal. Allow me to thank you.”

He thanked me. But…

“No—we should have come earlier…”

“You guys came fast enough. To be honest, your speed is unimaginable. It is luxurious and cruel to expect more than this.”

“… Thank you”

I say so, but… there are few people who died after all… it might be arrogance, but it leaves a thorn i

nto my throat and stuck in my heart.

“Which child is Sicily = von = Claude-san, I wonder?” **TL: Again, what the heck is this = sign??**

“Ah, yes! I am.(watas.h.i.+desu)” [1]

The civilian officer who refrained from talking also called out.

“I heard that the lives of many residents were saved thanks to you… Really–thank you.”

“No—there are people I could not save…”

“Saving everything is impossible, you did your best within the range of your abilities and saved more people than any other. Thank you really. Let me thank you in behalf of the residents.”

Saying that, he bowed his head deeply.

“Tha–that is! Please raise your head!”

“Claude-san, please also allow me, thank you.”

“Such thing, Majesty! That’s not good!”

“There seems to be some people who calls Claude-san as a saint in the streets.”

“Hou, is that so?”

“That, that’s a problem.”

Sicily is at a loss for being called a saint.

“Hoho, speaking of which, Claude-san is engaged to Walford-kun. Since you have soon-to-be husband, then you can no longer be a saint.”

“Why do you know it?”

The civil officer says so. It is an engagement from a foreign country with one side who is not a n.o.ble, why do you know?

“You seem to don’t know your value?”

“That’s right. He does not know just how great he is.”

“Hey, Gus.”

Such a thing was spoken by Gus.

“You’re attention are not only in Earlshyde, but also in each country. What kind of actions are taken, who do you a.s.sociate with, and whom will you engage with. Truth is, I also want my daughter to marry you.”

The top! Royalties among other things, please pardon me!

“Well, I could not do it with the declaration of King Earlshyde.”

“But was that the declaration for the Kingdom of Earlshyde?”

“It is the same thing. Even if it is a declaration for the country, taking that and applying a wedding from a foreign country, you’re alienated of taking advantage of it not only from Earlshyde but also in other countries.”

Is it so? It’s serious in various ways.

“Therefore, with the communication device, I was contacted by the amba.s.sador in the Kingdom of Earlshyde that you were engaged.”

“Yeah, I see. I thought why you knew it even though I just got the engagement party yesterday.”

“That’s a good thing. I am now negotiating if I could get some more with the Earlshyde Kingdom. Of course I will pay both the charges and the communication fee.”

Is another money coming in… there’s no use of it.

“Well, I know the things between you guys. As for your getting engaged, is it not because you two love each other and not because it was imposed?”

“Is-is that so?”

“Congratulations, I’ll give you my blessing.”

“Thank you very much.”

I have received the blessing from King Suido.

I am in such a blessed mood, but… we didn’t came here to be blessed.

“King Suido, I’m sorry to cut our talk in the middle but there are things I need to report this time.”

“If it’s a report, shouldn’t the soldiers on site coming up with it?”

“What I would like to report is about the ringleader of the devils, because I know Oliver = Schtrom.” **TL: -_- Should I remove this = sign?”

In Gus’ words, the three people on Swedes Kingdom’s side became tense.

“Although the devils made a surprise attack…… no demons accompanied them.”

“I heard that.”

“And… Schtrom did not partic.i.p.ate in this attack.”

“What? The ringleader did not?”

The ringleader wasn’t here to attack a country. Also, demons becomes a big force to an average person.

Nevertheless, the devils are a threat to the common people.

“We have the power to oppose the devils… pardon my rudeness, but it is not so in your country. But when you think about it, it is not a strange thing.”

Indeed it is not a strange thing.

However, Gus look at my face and continue talking.

“s.h.i.+n here, a step away cornered Schtrom which is the ringleader of the devils. Schtrom who schemed the fall of the kingdom and empire, I don’t think he would ignore the biggest threat of s.h.i.+n’s existence.”

“Certainly.”

“So s.h.i.+n and I thought this was a feint operation and hurriedly went back to Earlshyde.”

“You went back to Earlshyde?”

Ahh, through gate…

“Errr, s.h.i.+n can use transitional magic. But can only go to certain places.”

“What! Transition magic!?”

“Certain place? Oh, did you set up a point in Earlshyde?”

I bent over some facts delicately… I can’t possibly say I can go to places I’ve been to once, right?

—And I’m in the King’s office now…

“Yeah, I thought it was a feint operation to attack Earlshyde but…”

“The fact that your Highness(Crown Prince) is here… then there was no surprise attack…”

Yep, that’s the least thing I understand.

If we did not interfere, then Swedes Kingdom would surely fall to those devils.

However, will Schtrom think of such a thing when we didn’t interfere, when we didn’t launch a surprise attack?

Will you not plan the attack strategy including that?

That’s why I thought that this raid was a feint and Earlshyde was the real target…

“Thus, this monotonous raid was all of the devils actions. What on earth does this mean? — I don’t understand it at all.”

“In other words… You don’t understand the devils’ intention… and can’t feel at ease at this surprise attack… Is that what you’re saying?”

“That’s the case. This attack may not be the end and there will be another. So we should not relax our vigilance until we know what Schtrom is thinking.”

Silence reined the King’s office at the actions of the devils who we had no idea what it meant at all.

“There’s a future thing. If possible, we would like each country to unite and establish a cooperative front. Will you agree with this?”

“That’s right… this matter is too heavy to hold in only one country. While at it, Swedes Kingdom will partic.i.p.ate on this union.”

“Thank you very much.”

King Suido promised cooperation.

It will be necessary to put forward a talk about the union with the other countries from now on.

I think that if we unite together, we will be able to cut out speculation of Schtrom.

I also have to do my best…

Chapter 50 (1/2) end.

Part 2

「I’m thinking of having a summit meeting with the leaders of other countries soon. I’ll contact you as soon as it’s decided. I’ll thank you in advance.」

「That is all for the report. Well then, we will be leaving.」

「I understand.」

In that way, we left he King’s office.

「Something… isn’t it a big deal?」

Maria who felt uneasiness about the previous exchange muttered so.

It’s not unreasonable to think so. Since we don’t understand Schtrom’s intention, we must act and consider all possibilities in mind.

For that reason, it is best to unite as Gus said earlier.

World Alliance, or something like that… what an exaggerated talk.

「Including that, we will discus it after coming back to Earlshyde. s.h.i.+n, I entrust it to you.」 **TL: I’ll entrust my life to you, ah! Just a joke, lol.**

「… Yeah.」

It’s gate… right?

That sort of joke, it would be ok if that’s not the case.

I connected the gate to the usual guardroom in Earlshyde, and everyone pa.s.s through.

Then…

「Oh! Your Highness and the others are back!」

「Welcome back!」

Many guard soldiers are waiting, applauding all at once.

「Wah! That startled me!」

Alice was surprised, but I also agree. Why did they gather so much like this?

「Welcome back, Your Highness. His Majesty is waiting for you.」

「Just a while ago we received a report that Your Highness has repelled the devils who appeared in Swedes Kingdom, thus vacant people came up with the idea to welcome you.」

「We also announced it to the people, so the Royal Capital is thrown into a great uproar. Together with your inauguration Your Highness Crown Prince, the celebration will take several days.」

I see, has the report of Swedes Kingdom’s devil subjugation already been spread?

「Everybody is excited about the achievement of Ultimate Magicians!」

Along with the team name… **TL: Poor guy worrying his team name.**

「It will be noisy for a while, it can’t be helped. What’s more, the team name had permeated.」

「Huh? Award? Us!?」

「This had yet again became a terrible thing…」

That probably will. I got a medal just by having subdued a devil, how many did I defeat this time? In addition to that, there is no reason that a medal won’t be given in an act to save a country from crises.

I feel more relax than everyone as I already been bestowed an award once.

「That’s for later. There is something we have to discuss first now. Everyone, let’s go.」
