My Disciples Know That I Am Strong - Chapter 241



Episode 36. A break to take the last step (2)

As Seri goes out to the terrace, cheers can be heard from inside the building.

The war situation ended a month ago, and an official notice that all demons invading the empire were dealt with spread across the country a week ago.

Thanks to that, many people were relieved and praised the publican. It was to think that the emperor’s good judgment led to victory in the war.

There’s no way that tax collector didn’t hear such a story, so he must be trying to tell the people of the empire the real reason for winning this war.

“Get ready to leave, too.”

“Ah! I’m not a noble, am I supposed to do this!”

“Still, let’s not think too badly. Because this is for us.”

“When you are a hero, other races are treated differently. No one can touch you easily. In addition, the image that the three warriors, a human, a beastman, and an elf get along so well, is likely to work in a positive direction.”

In the end, you might see the sight of people living in harmony with other races in the Empire without rejecting them.

You will actually see the scene I saw in the game. My heart pounded a little at the thought.

“How have you been? Citizen of the empire It is Emperor Seri Aether Pretium.”

The tone was different from the previous speeches.

The tax collector, who used to use honorific words because he couldn’t adapt to the position of emperor, was no longer there. He was the only remaining example of a solemn and confident emperor.

“Today, the story I am going to tell you about is to introduce you to the real protagonists of this war.”

People start to murmur at the sound of her voice spreading through amplification magic.

“Quiet!”

As Se-ri put her index finger to her lips and spoke, the imperial people fell silent almost simultaneously. In the quiet atmosphere, her mouth opens again.

“You all must know that a war between man and horse took place hundreds of years ago, just after the establishment of the empire. At that time, as now, the empire faced a great crisis. Demons killed countless people, destroyed buildings, and encroached on the territory of the empire with demons.”

She calmly went on with her words.

“Just when the prosperity of the empire was about to come to an end overnight, the warriors appeared. You will know their names.”

Before she spoke, she paused for a moment as if pondering the names of the first warriors.

“Irene, Brelud, Richard Crystal.”

Recite each name slowly.

These were the names written on the tombstone when I went to get the Manmul Yangdan.

“I think even those who don’t know the history of the empire will know the names of these people. Because of these three heroes, the empire and we were able to escape from the threat of demons and come to this point while maintaining prosperity.”

Even citizens of the empire who don’t know the history know the names of the warriors.

This fact alone made it possible to know how great the position of the warriors was.

“And in this war, we were helped by our warriors. Without their help, we would still be at war. Perhaps even this place, Pretium, might have been taken away by the demons and fled to the edge of the continent.”

At the story of being helped by the warriors, the lower part of the terrace becomes noisy.

Even the people of the empire know that. That the warriors had reappeared.

“Thanks to their strength, I was able to escape from the demons’ threat in less than a week. I am gathering you here and talking to you in order to highly praise them.”

Sherry stops talking. Seeing the slight movement of his head, he seemed to be examining the reaction of the people of the Empire.

“Yes… …. Everyone will be curious How they, no, how the warriors looked on the battlefield.”

As Se-Ri snapped her fingers, the wizards performed surveillance magic as if they had waited.

“You guys should check it out with your own eyes. The greatness of the warriors.”

Videos that can be viewed from any angle begin to appear.

Iris takes Peremus.

Tina takes Lichen and Miles.

Maria gave Ecabel.

As soon as the video of the corps commander-level being single-handedly treated, which no one can deal with, no noise is heard as if time had stopped.

Somehow, I felt like I would laugh at the appearance of the imperial people who were staring at me as if possessed by something.

“It reappeared. To end this war.”

“Whoa!!”

When one cheered, people started to scream like a ripple. She could barely hear Se-ri’s voice spreading through the amplification magic.

“The warriors are our hope. Would you be willing to clap for them?”

“Of course!”

A tremendous applause can be heard from under the terrace.

Seri, who softened her body through the loudspeaker, turned around. She smiled and stretched out her hand towards us. It was a signal to come.

“Are you ready?”

At my question, the warriors shook their shoulders nervously. The restless look was very cute. He rubbed the shoulders of the warriors.

“There is nothing to be nervous about. What you did was so great that you were welcomed like this. Walk confidently and show your face to the people of the Empire.”

“I don’t know if this is really right.”

“…… Have I ever led you in the wrong direction?”

“No.”

“No.”

“No.”

The three warriors answered at the same time. If even one person had doubts, the answer would have been mixed.

But seeing as I didn’t, he genuinely seemed to think I had the right lead.

“Yes. If you think so, I want you to trust me and follow me this time too.”

As if she was prepared for my words, Tina steps forward. She turned her shoulders like someone going to sparring.

“Okay~ Let’s play a game!”

“Since Master says so, I will gladly obey.”

Looking at Tina like that, Iris also walks forward.

“I can’t help it. I’ll be back.”

Maria showed her annoyance, but with her smile on her lips, she followed the two of them.

“Please raise your hand at least. So that the people of the empire can properly cheer.”

Three people stand at the end of the terrace, next to Seri.

“Heroes!!”

As I raised my hand at my request, cheers erupted from below like a flood.

Since you saw the girls in the video in real life, you will have no choice but to believe it even if you don’t want to believe it.

I can’t see it with my eyes, but among the people of the empire, those who can see mana must be amazed by their strength.

One hundred sentences are worth seeing, and seeing it for yourself gives confidence.

“Their names are Tina of the Humans, Iris of the Beasts, and Maria of the Elves. Just as you remember the first warriors, remember their names. Their footsteps are just beginning, so stay tuned for what they will achieve in the future. You will definitely have no regrets.”

Even though the tax collector was talking, the cheers of the people of the empire continued.

As expected, warriors suit that place.

It seems the happiest to live while being welcomed by others and enjoying the rights that others do not enjoy.

Of course, I have no right to dictate the criteria for their happiness. I have no intention of interfering.

However, I wish they would experience more and enjoy life.

So that I can be happy even when everything is over and I disappear.

When I heard from Yggdrasil that I could go back to the other world, my concerns changed.

At first, I thought about how to settle in this world, but now I have to worry about whether to stay in this world or return to the other world.

I know that if the warriors safely kill the Demon King, this world will be peaceful until I die, but I’m not sure if that’s the right path.

“…… Is it too early to worry?”

I haven’t even defeated the Demon King yet.

With a wry smile, I put my hand on my side.

Listening to the voices of the imperial people who began to praise the warriors, the tax collector’s speech ended.

* * *

“How was it?”

“It was the best.”

The warriors didn’t show off, but they felt satisfied. You must have enjoyed the feeling that the world was praising you, so it wouldn’t be such a bad feeling.

Actually, at the end, Tina said, “Ooh! I feel like the world welcomes me!” I was a little bit broken when I said that.

“Are you going to subdue the demon lord? When are you planning to leave?”

“You should go as fast as you can, but you don’t have to be in such a hurry.”

Since the four legionnaires have fallen, among the demons remaining in the Pandemonium, there will be no opponent other than the Demon King that the warriors can struggle with.

Even if given time, there would be no demons that would grow to the level of a corps commander. If such guys were common and overflowing, the human world would have perished long ago.

“Because the demons haven’t been properly purified yet.”

“Ah… …. If that’s the case, I think the Orient-sama Prause said is doing well. They say that a lot of demons have escaped from the empire in one month. The Grand Duke of Glare said that in the next few months, there would be no problem in regaining the original territory of the empire.”

“I see. Good luck.”

As expected, it was best to ask Orient, who had some knowledge of the World Tree. Anti-demon magic can also remove demonic energy, but that requires a lot of manpower and time.

“Then what are you planning to do before going to Pandemonium?”

“I won’t tell you!”

Tina jumped between me and Cersei and shouted. I shoved Tina in the face and said, “Don’t interfere.” Said. Tina whines and withdraws.

“Stupid Tina.”

“Aren’t you an idiot?”

“Master will marry me anyway, so there is no need to be jealous of that.”

“Why are you marrying Maria? I will do it with you.”

“…… Are you married?”

After hearing the story of Tina and Maria, Seri’s expression changed. The smile that had been on his face a while ago had disappeared. It gave me a sense of pressure with a perfect face.

“…… No.”

“No! Master, you promised us!”

“Could it be that Master lied to us?!”

“No. Not even that.”

You never promised to get married in the first place? When did you become engaged?

“I guess it was true.”

Which rhythm should I tune to?

“Anyway, I will give you a notice before going to the Demon World. Before that, I want to rest a little without thinking about anything.”

“Notice… I mean. Is it a marriage notice?”

What kind of interpretation……. Doesn’t he look a bit weird too?

No matter how you look at it, it means that the date to go to the Demon World is notified in context.

“I think it will be very difficult for my competitor to be a hero, but I will try my best.”

…… What?

Somehow, I felt creepy.

“Ah, anyway, I had a hard time today. Next time I come here, I’ll tell you about the success of subjugating the demon lord.”

“I look forward to it. Prause.”

I looked at Seri’s strange smile and then turned around.

“Shall we decide this also in sparring?”

Who decides to marry in Dalian?!

Laughter leaked out at the simple ignorant Tina-like idea.

“Good!”

Maria who accepts that again was also amazing. This is a warrior…… ?

It was obvious what the people of the empire would think when they saw this. I was just worried about how long I would be able to maintain the cool image of a warrior.

“You guys, stop talking.”

As I left the room, I slapped Tina and Maria one night at a time.

“Stupids.”

Iris follows me, giggling.

The two of them blamed each other for being beaten because of you even as they left the imperial palace.

In many ways, they were great guys.
