I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With - Chapter 59
Episode 59 – Demon Sword Destroyer
Shortly after it was announced that I had awakened, His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister came to my hospital room.
They asked how I was doing and breathed a sigh of relief when I answered that I was fine.
For reference, it is said that the corrupted holy sword Zebario has disappeared.
Is there something else to my ability other than the ability to fix things? The first thing that occurred to me was,
When I thought about it again, it didn’t make sense at all.
This is something I learned at the academy, and it is said that the weapon called the Holy Sword naturally disappears when the warrior of the time completes his mission.
However, the corrupted Holy Sword Zebario became corrupted while absorbing the energy of the demon god, and could not disappear even after all the hero’s missions were completed.
However, it can be said that Zebario, who had fulfilled his mission, also disappeared as the Holy Sword was restored to its ‘original state’ through my ability.
“By the way. Now that I think about it, I have good news and bad news for you. Which of the two would you like to hear first?”
As I was thinking for a moment, the Prime Minister brought up an interesting story.
Good news and bad news.
“First, let’s hear the bad news first.”
When it comes to things like this, you should listen to the bad ones first. That way, the shock of bad news can be offset to some extent by the good news.
It was like that even when I was working. You always told me the bad news first, then the good news.
‘There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the car our company’s executive director was riding in got into an accident, so he won’t be able to use the company car for the time being. The good news is that because of this accident, the executive director will have to recuperate in the hospital for at least six months.’
I remember the manager who openly dissed the managing director in front of the employees.
I don’t know if that guy is still doing well at the company.
I stopped thinking about the past and focused on the story of the Prime Minister.
“You want to hear bad news first? Well, the choice is yours, I understand. First of all, an oracle has come down from the Great Goddess Church.”
An oracle in the Great Goddess Church? What did Epitrina say through Archbishop Bertrand?
“Through Archbishop Bertrand’s official announcement, the existence of the Corrupted Holy Sword sealed in the basement of the Imperial Palace of the Gelevrio Empire was made public, and its disappearance was also officially acknowledged. And in the process, your existence was revealed throughout the world. It became known.”
Eh? So, does that mean I became famous?
“The Great Goddess Church mentioned your name through an oracle and called you ‘Destroyer of the Demon Sword.’ Soon, you will be given the title of Destroyer of the Demon Sword through an official ceremony. This will give you the name. Although you have become widely known, reports are coming in that the number of people who are interested in you in return has also increased. Some are of good quality, and some are of poor quality.”
‘Oh, damn it. I was worried because it was bad news… ‘It was worse news than I thought.’
What the Prime Minister said was really bad news.
The demon sword destroyer. The title earned through the ability to fix things is ‘Destroyer’!
Isn’t this like saying that iced Americano was selected as the hot coffee of the year?
In short, it did not suit them at all.
And since I have received a title, doesn’t that mean that when I reveal my name, aggro will inevitably be attracted to me?
This was the story of how my life plan to live a long and thin life completely collapsed.
“There will probably be people who come to you to test your abilities, organizations that will try to persuade you through various channels, or people who will try to abuse your abilities. This is bad news. Probably, in the future “You have to be a little careful.”
The Prime Minister talked about various reasons and mentioned various side effects that would arise from my becoming famous.
“So what’s the good news?”
“Is it okay for Jim to tell you the good news?”
“Do whatever is convenient, Your Majesty.”
“I understand. First of all, I would like to thank you. The corrupted holy sword, which had been a source of concern to the empire for a long time, has been extinguished. This is consistent with the saying that the people living in the imperial palace and the capital have become a little safer. “Vailse. As the emperor of the Gelevrio Empire, I am truly grateful to you.”
His Majesty the Emperor bowed down and expressed his gratitude to me.
I heard the direct expression of gratitude from the higher-ups right in front of me, but all I could do was nod my head weakly because my body couldn’t move properly.
“I and my empire owe you a great debt. However, this incident has unintentionally brought you to the attention of the entire world, and while this may have positive aspects, it will also have negative aspects. Therefore, “I have decided to protect you, the benefactor of the imperial family and empire.”
Among the things His Majesty the Emperor said, there were some very welcome words.
The imperial family and empire will officially protect me.
Nothing else, the Gelevrio Empire, the most powerful country in the world, says they will protect me, but will some big guys touch me?
“In addition, since you have accomplished a feat worthy of receiving a title from the Great Goddess Church, it has been decided through the Cabinet meeting to bestow a title on you.”
“A title… Are you talking about?”
“That’s right. Originally, upon graduating from the Academy, you were scheduled to be awarded the title of Viscount at the Prime Minister’s suggestion, but since your contribution this time is so great, you will be granted the title of Count and a new castle at the upcoming National Foundation Ceremony. “
Wow. So you’re saying I’ll become a noble with a hereditary title?
In addition, you will also have a new castle given directly by the emperor.
But normally, if this were to happen, the imperial faction’s nobles wouldn’t say anything, but wouldn’t the faction that maintains neutrality or the faction that opposes the emperor’s decision say anything?
“Are you sure the other nobles won’t object?”
“hahahahaha. Everyone agreed to give you a title. And the noble faction? It’s all a play created to find out spies from other countries or internal dissatisfaction.”
“Then…Are we to say that there are in fact no factions?”
“It does exist. At best, it is nothing more than a social gathering formed by territorial nobles with fiefdoms and bureaucratic nobles without fiefdoms. Moreover, since both fiefdom nobles and bureaucratic nobles know each other’s importance, they rarely fight.”
Hmm, as expected, the imperial faction, noble faction, and neutral faction that appeared in the creation were all fake.
hahahaha. Do you not follow the emperor, who has a proper administrative system and great power, enough to influence the entire empire with administrative power?
This is nothing more than begging the emperor to accuse them of being traitors and kill them.
No, in the first place, being a noble means being loyal to the emperor, but that doesn’t happen unless you’re a scarecrow emperor.
Now that I think about it, there must have been factional fighting between nobles in the creation where the emperor is so weak that he becomes a scarecrow?
The emperor is very strong here, so that won’t happen.
The emperor is the nobleman who throws a punch on a marble table with only his fist. What kind of noble would make a rash move in the safety of his hands?
If you don’t want to be bullied, you should behave yourself well.
In addition, since the Prime Minister is in a position to control the nobles with strong charisma, it is unlikely that we will see nobles from the nobles, neutrals, and emperors fighting in this country.
“The National Foundation Festival is scheduled to be held in two weeks. I will give you another elixir soon, so eat it and get up. Even so, all the other nobles will be clamoring to see your face.”
“I will try my best.”
Ha, life is really… …. I definitely wanted to live a long, thin life, so why am I becoming famous?
And why did Epirina make me famous by giving an oracle?
‘I’ll have to go to the temple later and ask in person.’
For now, I have to focus on healing this body.
◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈
A place no one dares to reach. A space allowed only to one being.
There, Epirina was looking down at Pathos through a huge mirror.
“Pathos. The person you are is truly…”
Epitrina was able to see in detail what Pathos was thinking through the mirror.
“Ugh. I gave them tools and ingredients to prepare a meal and eat it deliciously, but they didn’t actually think about using those ingredients to cook and eat, so they just plowed the fields with the tools…”
Epitrina did not like Pathos’ frustrating behavior.
This is not to say that I disliked him, but that I wanted him to take a more active role.
The power she gave to Pathos was the ability to fix everything, regardless of whether it was an object, person, magic, animal, or plant.
“No! You have to become famous to meet more people! That way, you’ll come into contact with stronger people! Then, even if a crisis comes in the world, won’t you be able to get through it safely?”
Epitrina screamed as she looked at the pathos of pursuing a long and thin life through the mirror.
But Pathos could not hear the sounds she made.
“I can’t do it. If you come out passively, I will create an environment so that you have no choice but to take action.”
Epitrina’s eyes looking beyond the mirror showed a firm determination.
“This time, I won’t allow you to leave in vain.”
And it contained the sorrowful feeling of looking at someone you miss.
