Chapter 156

Nostalgic Homeland

Published: 12 January 2024

 

Let's go to Grua, the capital of the Kingdom of Balmore!

...... The royal capital of the Kingdom of Brancott?

Who's going there, that's it!

By majority vote, 5 to 1. It was a complete victory.

Francette was absolutely unacceptable to put me and Roland in danger.

Emile and Belle swore absolute loyalty to me.

And Layette, who didn't know anything, was on my side.

......With majority rule, there was no element that I could lose.

 

So, ignoring the frustrated Roland, we took a fairly southern route, avoiding the royal capital of the Kingdom of Brancott, Aras, as planned, and arrived safely at the royal capital of the Kingdom of Balmore.

Rather than gathering information in the kingdom of Brancott, it would be much quicker and more accurate to return home and get the latest information from the king.

Besides, didn't you receive a message from the king in the first place, telling you to come back early?

He was Roland's younger brother, but since he was "His Majesty the King," he must listen to his instructions, or rather, his "orders."

 

And now, we were back in the royal capital of Grua.

Here was the Kingdom of Balmore, the home country of the four of us, except for me and Layette.

Even for me, who didn't have a real home country in this world, well, it was like my home country.

The place where I landed in this world was the Kingdom of Brancott, and I stayed there for a while, but I didn't feel like calling it my homeland, and if I said that, I didn't know what the people of that country would say.

 

For the time being, we headed to the royal palace.

If you went to the royal palace, you could get something to eat, but the first thing to do was to get information and see if there was an urgent matter.

Of course, after crossing the border into the Kingdom of Balmore, the chariot was stored in an item box and the disguise was removed. You don't have to wear a disguise in this country, and you don't have to advertise a lot about chariots.

......In this country, I was well known, so if they found out that I was the owner of the chariot, there might be people who would ask me for a favor.

Honestly, that was annoying.

"Please" and "invite" were troublesome because I couldn't just punch them or blow them up with an explosion. They were not the kind of people who gave up after one or two refusals.

If that was the case, it was easier to attack them because I could crush them without hesitation.

But there was no one in this country who would do that.

 

...Ah, no, "It wasn't there", I guess.

Now, it wouldn't be surprising if there were remnants of Rueda, intelligence agents in the kingdom of Brancott, or even assassins.

There was a bishop named Bruce who tried to woo me with Beliscus, but when that failed, he tried to kill me.

That was a sudden change of attitude too quickly. I could only assume that there was originally an idea of "kill the angel."

Perhaps the default line was to round it up and use it as if he was in a hurry and killed me quickly if it didn't work. ...... I meant, maybe he just wanted to kill me from the beginning.

You might think that he was the great sinner, the enemy of religious people, the enemy of God, the evil cult, or the messenger of the devil who caused the destruction of Rueda's religious people.

But it was Celes herself who stabbed him in the end, no matter how you would think about it.

A religious group that was stabbed to death by the goddess herself they believed in.

Yeah, not really.

Hey, I haven't heard anything else about it...

 

Well, I wouldn't be able to go kill the goddess, so there was no other way that all the grudges and hatred came to me. The attack that led me to my journey was also one of Rueda's corrupt priests.

......I didn't think that priest was the last one.

No, in fact, there were many others who escaped, as the bishop Bruce, who attacked me in Beliscus, testifies clearly. It seems that there were also some people who had taken out a large amount of the wealth they had accumulated and were not inconvenienced by the operation funds.

No, I would think about it after hearing from the king. There was no point in thinking about it now, even though I could get information immediately.

With that in mind, I looked down at the feet of Roland, who was walking in front of me, and I raised my head. When walking down the street, keep your head up, stand tall, and be proud!

"Whoa!"

On this side of the road and on the other side, many people stopped and waved their hands happily. And.......

"Good luck, angel! Good luck Fran! Good luck Roland-sama!!" (Crowd)

 

......Obviously? The angel of the goddess, the great hero of the salvation of the country, the holy knight Fran, and the king's brother Roland were all stepping on it. What was more, the angel who had been told that she had disappeared from the country had appeared for the first time in several months, so it must be enthusiastic.

And when I show up, that's it. There was hope that the potion may become available again. The ones for sale...and the Goddess' mercy, "Tears of the Goddess"...

 

No, "Tears of the Goddess" aside, I had no intention of reviving it for sale.

It was the devil's potion that would stop the progress of medicine and pharmacy and eradicate doctors and pharmacists. It was not something that should be popularized.

What if it kept circulating in large quantities, and 50 years later, all of a sudden, I'm gone?

It was not pretty, it was a disaster.

But it didn't matter if I was not there, if the potion didn't come out even though I was here.

Human beings had the luxury of never letting go of a luxury.

After all, maybe I should leave this country again when my errands were done. If I were there, the orphans, the Eye of the Goddess, would not leave me, and would not try to fly away.

Wasn't it a kind of bondage and a curse?

 

"Kaoru, we've arrived!"

"Ah... uh, yeah." (Kaoru)

While I was lost in thought, I entered the royal palace and arrived at the king's office.

There was no way that these members would use the audience room. It was a straight line to the King's office.

"I'm in!" (Roland)

After a light knock, Roland said so and opened the door. He opened the door without waiting for the other party's reply, but that was not a problem here. It was not the kind of place where the king was doing his private stuff.

And no matter how much the other person was the younger brother, here it was the king and his older brother. It was natural for Roland to use language as if he were a subordinate. When it was just the two of them, or just their relatives, it would be okay to return to their "relationship as brothers", but at least in the hallway where other people could see them, that was not allowed.


"Brother, you came back well!!" (Serge)

The moment we entered the room and the door was closed, Serge, the king of the "brotherly relationship" was in full swing, crying and suddenly hugging Roland. It was not that he was incompetent by any means, but he had been supported by his capable brother Roland when he was in trouble, so he must had been distressed by the threat of war in Roland's absence.

Well, once the war started, he would be able to do his job like a king in a certain way, but after all, the sense of security would be completely different if there was no Roland next to him.

When I was a student, I was often asked to sit with my classmates and juniors who broke up with the man they were dating. When I was with them, they seemed to be able to break up smoothly without being scared, threatened, or persistently teased. That was why I had a reputation for being a "professional in breaking up with a man" and "if you're going to break up with a man, go to Nagase-senpai, an expert in that field!"

I had never broken up with a man myself!

In the first place, I had never dated a man, so I couldn't break up, Damn it!!

......Hahaha...

 

Anyway, it was only after hearing the details from Roland's brother, King Serge, that he decided what to do.

Yes, the decision to "kill" was...

Hurting Layette and the orphans.

The use of my name as one of the reasons for the usurpation.

He tried to deceive me and take advantage of me, and when he failed, he tried to kill me.

Do you think I'll ignore it by doing nothing?

I didn't know when they would try to harm the people I cared about again, so I left them alone.

Allow the perception that there was nothing wrong with messing with us spread.

......If the chicks don't crow, they won't be shot.

 

......So, why are you twitching your face and pulling your hips, Your Majesty?

Yeah, my two best friends used to tell me, "You should never smile in the presence of children."

 

......Shut up!!
