Episode 152 48. To the Sultanate of Pajar
One.
Time in the capital flew by in the blink of an eye.
After paying my respects at my grandfather’s house, I stopped by Luhon’s shop with Amy to get a suit.
While I was taking care of the work that had been pending, the day to leave the capital approached.
Charon stopped by the Academy one last time before leaving the capital.
It was to conclude a special lecture that had been canceled due to terrorism.
“Caron Reston! Caron Reston! Caron Reston!”
“Wow!”
The special lecture ended amidst the cheers of many people.
The special lecture was held in a large central plaza, that is, a place that was open on all sides, rather than in the main auditorium.
Caron’s message to his students was simple and clear.
“You saw me beat Professor Veil last time, right? Live well. If you grow up to be a bad adult, I will be the first person you meet. If you feel like you can’t change easily? Knock on the door of the rehabilitation club at any time. You too can become a good person.”
“rebirth!”
“Let’s live well!”
It’s already been a week since Caron founded the club.
The club, which started with 30 members, had now grown to nearly 100 members.
The force displayed by 100 youths with shaved heads made Caron smile with satisfaction.
At least the Academy won’t be churning out any more losers.
Caron decided to be content with that.
Having eliminated his future strong competitors, he was one step closer to his dream of becoming the ultimate loser.
“See you again, students of the Academy!”
Caron left the stage after saying his final greetings.
Then, Principal Octavio, who had been waiting under the stage, came running towards me as if he had been waiting for me.
“It was truly a heart-warming special lecture. I am so touched that Caron-nim thinks about the future of the students at Iri Academy! I am sure that the students will grow up to be great adults… … .”
The flattery that keeps coming in.
It was much more blatant flattery than it had been a week ago.
He couldn’t help it.
That’s because just yesterday, Principal Octavio’s reappointment was confirmed.
“Principal Octavio.”
“Please speak!”
“When I hear news that academy students have an accident… … . You know?”
“Water, of course.”
“The principal is resigning that day.”
The Academy failed to detect the terrorist threat in advance.
In fact, that alone could be seen as a denial of Principal Octavio’s reappointment.
Nevertheless, it was thanks to strong supporters that Principal Octavio was able to be reappointed.
The Imperial Tower and the Duke of Reston.
Because these two places pushed for Principal Octavio.
Of course, Charon’s influence was naturally at work behind the scenes.
Caron personally asked his father and Matapju to support the reappointment of Principal Octavio.
“I will never forget this favor for the rest of my life.”
“It’s not enough to just not forget. Rehabilitation Club. Please push hard.”
“Yes, yes. Of course.”
“Character education. For sure.”
“Is there any possibility?”
“Hehehe.”
“Khehehehe! Please believe me!”
Principal Octavio’s complexion was very good, free from the stress of reappointment.
It must have felt like going between heaven and hell in an instant, so should I say that it’s natural?
“We will fully promote the activities of the rehabilitation club at the academy level.”
“I’ll wait. For the day when all the losers in this world disappear.”
“for!”
It was the moment when even the fate of the Academy fell into the clutches of a mad dog.
“Mr. Caron.”
While Caron was chatting happily with Principal Octavio, Yuris approached Caron holding an envelope of documents.
“Here are the materials you mentioned.”
“Oh, thank you, teacher.”
I had a special request for Yuris.
Charon put the envelope Yuris handed him straight into his subspace pocket.
“I have cross-checked the records of the empire with those of the Pajar Sultanate and marked the places where traces of the evil emperor may remain. I will continue the research, so I will let you know as soon as the results come out.”
“Wouldn’t you be busy just researching Sir Cain Rathor? You don’t have to strain yourself because of me.”
Research on evil spirits was virtually taboo.
The Academy is ultimately an institution established by the imperial family.
It is inevitable to be reluctant to study the evil emperor, which can be called the dark history of the imperial family.
But Yuris shook her head and smiled.
“Now that the followers of the evil emperor have appeared, it is the right time to start researching the evil emperor. In fact, it is something I have wanted to do.”
“why?”
“In order to conduct research on Lord Cain Rathor, research on the evil emperor is also essential.”
At those words, Caron smiled bitterly.
It was always a strange feeling to see a third party trying to evaluate one’s past life.
A mysterious feeling that is difficult to express in words.
However, Charon did not necessarily want to stop Yuris.
“If you look closely, even teachers are very self-willed.”
“What part is that?”
“You’ve been doing the research you wanted to do, even though you’ve been getting all this hate all this time, right?”
I heard a little about Julius from Principal Octavio.
Did you end up getting a bad feeling from studying Cain Rathor?
Yuris smiled faintly at Charon’s words.
“I do it because I want to. Someone has to study the history of that era, so that we can warn people so that such terrible times do not come.”
“I heard that research funding has been lacking recently?”
“It is shameful.”
“I’ve already contacted my father, so if you need research funds, you can always get them, teacher. I have a lot of money.”
It’s a good investment for the future.
If academic research on the evil spirits is conducted, good clues may be obtained from unexpected places.
In Charon’s eyes, Yuris was the perfect person for the job.
“Principal Octavio, you must help Professor Yuris focus on her research. Do you understand?”
“Don’t worry. Professor Yuris and I are practically sworn brothers. I will handle any external pressure within my power.”
“It’s sturdy.”
“Professor Yuris! If you have any inconveniences, just let me know. Oh! Should I hire some more teaching assistants?”
“Is that okay?”
“What could possibly go wrong? Let’s put out an announcement today. If there’s a student you’ve been keeping an eye on, kidnap them right away.”
Once the route was set, Principal Octavio was determined to hold it in line.
So, my schedule at the academy has come to an end.
2.
After finishing all his schedules, Caron headed straight to the capital’s train station.
A train station crowded with people.
A luxurious platform, reserved only for high-ranking nobles, was filled with people waiting to see Charon off.
Starting with Luke and Amy of the Imperial Guard, then Cor of the Matapju. And finally,
“I wish I had stayed a little longer… … .”
“I’ll stop by on the way back, Grandpa.”
“Are you making a promise with Grandpa?”
Caron’s maternal grandfather, Gail.
Gail, dressed in a suit, gave Caron a warm hug.
At that sight, Matapju Kor burst into laughter and said.
“I didn’t know the devil king of the National Tax Service would have such a refreshing side.”
The young boy taunted the old man. But Gail, who was familiar with Matapju, smiled happily and answered.
“He is my grandson whom I would never mind putting in my eyes.”
“If you look into that guy’s eyes, your eyes will burst. Do you know what your grandson did to Matap? He completely ruined the business.”
“Grandpa. I did well, didn’t I?”
“Then, of course. Make sure to eat it periodically from now on.”
“Huh, that grandpa and that grandson.”
Kor burst out laughing as if he couldn’t believe it.
Then Gail narrowed his eyes and said.
“Even if the rooftop sweeps up money with a rake, doesn’t it not pay a single penny in taxes?”
“What does that have to do with this?”
“I think you can think of my grandson as collecting taxes on my behalf.”
“No, your grandson put the money in his own pocket?”
When Kor shouted as if he was being treated unfairly, Charon muttered in a small voice.
“That’s why those who are rich do it more. They’re going to take money with them to the grave. If you’re old, you should be more like an old person and cut down on your greed. Tsk tsk.”
“… … I can hear everything, you punk.”
“Hehehe, your ears are unnecessarily sharp.”
Charon shrugged at Kor, then turned to Luke and Amy.
I had a good time with both of them.
Three days ago, Caron had checked the two’s skills by borrowing the training grounds of the Imperial Guard headquarters.
The results were very satisfactory.
This is because we have confirmed that their skills have improved rapidly compared to four years ago.
“Amy. I fed you some good food, so next time I see you… … . You know?”
“Sure.”
While I was at Kerua’s request, I fed Amy some dew from the World Tree.
A child with great talent.
Since he had consumed the dew of the World Tree, he would probably rise to a position where he could establish a family someday.
“Oh, that’s right, Sir Luke.”
“yes.”
“Sir Jerath is planning an exchange event between the Imperial Guard and the Knights of the Sea. You should also discuss it with the Commander of the Imperial Guard.”
“Will you be joining us too, Caron?”
“It’ll probably be six months at the earliest, so I plan to participate if I get the chance.”
Luke nodded at those words.
It will also be a good opportunity for the Imperial Guard, as exchanges with rivals are a great source of motivation.
After greeting everyone like that, Caron boarded the train straight away.
A train heading to the eastern part of the empire.
Caron boarded the train and waved to people through the window.
“See you all next time.”
With a brief greeting,
Wooooow-!
Immediately the train’s horsepower engine started to run.
The journey in the capital city that lasted about a week ended like that.
Squeak!
The train left the station with a friction sound, and those who had come out to see Caron off looked at the back of the train in silence.
“Lord of the Tower.”
“Speak, Commissioner of the National Tax Service.”
“Caron, that guy never told me where he was going. Do you know anything about it?”
Gail looked at Cor and asked slyly.
All we know is that Charon is leaving for a mission, but the details of the mission are kept secret.
At those words, Kor replied with a snort.
“How would I know that?”
“Please don’t do that.”
“The items your grandson stole from the tower are mostly for use in the desert. Can you guess the general idea from this?”
“……also.”
East of the capital.
And the desert.
Combining those two clues, we can arrive at one conclusion.
“Pajar Sultanate.”
The empire’s long-time enemy, the Pazar Sultanate.
That’s it.
That is, Charon is now confidently advancing towards the enemy.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t worried as a grandfather.
However, it wasn’t just Caron’s safety that Gail was worried about.
“Are you worried about your grandson now?”
Kor looked at Gail with a puzzled expression.
“Can’t you help but worry?”
“Your grandson will survive even if he falls into hell… … .”
“Maybe we should prepare for war.”
“… … Still, a grandfather is a grandfather. I’m glad he knows what kind of person his grandson is.”
Gail heard every detail of what his grandson had done.
From Leben to the Southern Great Forest.
If they were all having accidents that were difficult to handle, what would it be like if they happened in an enemy country?
It was obvious even without looking.
“I can assure you that your grandson is the best export this year. Honestly, how much gunpowder have the Pazar Sultanate bastards been spreading on the empire’s black market? Let’s take this opportunity to export a bomb too.”
“Don’t treat my grandson like a bomb.”
“What about the walking plague?”
“It’s even worse. Should I conduct a tax audit?”
“Yeah, we’re tax-exempt. It’s not illegal not to pay taxes.”
It was too childish to be an argument between old people.
“Let’s old people like us just carry our luggage and watch.”
A wicked smile appeared on Kor’s lips.
“I guarantee you, sooner or later, the sound of wailing will come out of those sandbags’ mouths.”
This time it was the time for the Sultanate of Pajar to take charge of Karon.
The delivery of the Empire’s proud special bomb has just begun.
