"Can you hurry up with this?"

The one who spoke with a rage filled voice was the Eastam King, Alastar.

He is an old aged king who has pa.s.sed 70.

The Eastam is one of the eastern kingdoms, a small country in the mountains.

"What?"

With a surprised face, George Ⅲ looked to the Eastam King.

Up until now, the eastern countries hadn"t defied Scottyard.

"At this time, I"d like for you to stop quibbling with just one country."

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you say a lot. Are you making light of Scottyard?"

Anger seemed to be flowing out of George Ⅲ, and his face turned red.

He glared at Alastar, but the old king from the remote region calmly received his gaze.

"It"s the other way around……this is why people born after the war are so troubling. You don"t know of the sixth demonic calamity, or the despair from that time."

Alastar sighed as if he was taken aback.

"In the first place, thanks to whom did your country thrive after the war? It"s thanks to Serena!"

"That"s not true. There were some circ.u.mstances behind the scenes."

"Such a thing."

Alastar laughed with his nose.

"Even though someone else may have made that terrifying magic, the only one who could use it was Serena-sama. That is an unshakable fact."

Therefore 50 years ago, people gave the t.i.tle of hero to Serena, who miraculously survived.

"The 7 heroes of the 4th demonic calamity are the Seven Stars. The 3 heroes from the 5th demonic calamity are the Big Three. Then what would the hero from the 6th demonic calamity be?"

To those words, George Ⅲ was overpowered.

A king who has no practical experience, and a king who survived a demonic calamity.

It"s natural that their dignities were different.

"Sp,Special One."

"Yeah. The hero who saved the world alone——Special One. Is it possible to refuse such a person"s proposal!?"

George Ⅲ was told that, and suddenly realized.

He remembered something about Serena from when he took the throne from his predecessor.

He couldn"t remember everything, like a promise to a phantom like person who has never come out on the stage.

"It seems like you"re not as senile as me."

That was a small thanks to the hero who bet her life to save the world.

George Ⅲ certainly had a pledge he took over from his father.

"I can"t refuse the request of the Special One."

"Yeah. The one who made that promise was your grandfather."

Why did the Scottyard King make that promise for the far future?

It was because Serena"s reputation was overwhelming.

In the first place, after the demonic calamity, the world was in the middle of chaos.

There were many lands without rulers.

Thus, often in the past heroes would build countries in those areas.

After the sixth demonic calamity, the Island Kingdom and Briton Kingdom rose to power.

However, although she worked hard to restore them, Serena never chose to raise a country.

The people wished for Serena to raise a country.

Even in Scottyard, there weren"t few voices who wanted Serena to be king. (TLN: Yes, king, not queen.)

At that time, the kings of the major powers including Scottyard didn"t know what to do with Serena.

They wanted to give her a suitable leisure job to calm the people. They thought that.

Thus, Serena was given the post of the highest advisor for the anti-demon conferences.

Although, she didn"t partic.i.p.ate, and never partic.i.p.ated in any meetings until today.

Furthermore when Serena said she wanted to make a school in Rhodan, each nation happily cooperated.

It"s common for retired adventurers to become mentors for others.

It was convenient for each country to hold Serena down as it"s director.

Therefore, they promised that they would help her if she was ever troubled.

They even instructed their children that they [can"t refuse the request of the Special One.]

"Scottyard King. Anymore than this is in vain."

With a "Good Heavens!" face, Richard Ⅱ advised him.

Even the small eastern countries rebelled.

That impact was great.

George Ⅲ looked at the attendees, and noticed a certain change.

The Scottyard Kingdom isn"t a humane country that"s liked by other countries.

What they have is a sense of fright.

For the successive generations of kings, that wasn"t a problem.

But what about their gazes now?

Of course, there"s still a sense of fear.

However, George Ⅲ was sensitive to the fact that there were also other emotions included there.

Scottyard specializes in the realm of the circulation of money, and most of its important military bases have disappeared.

In the international conference, it was obvious to everyone"s eyes that Scottyard had lost its position.

"Y,you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds……don"t think it"ll end like this." (TLN: Spoken like a true small fry.)

He stopped being a poor loser here.

George Ⅲ had no choice but to accept the proposal, and the conference ended.

So as not to be noticed, I was standing by in front of the door to the conference room.

I looked into the conference with Evil Sight.

As expected, the king of Scottyard is still making this difficult.

This was expected.

Here I"ll gallantly march into the conference, and defeat him in an argument.

All according to plan.

——Well then, let"s go.

I place my hand on the door——

"Can you hurry up with this?"

The old king of the eastern country broke there.

Like that, he blamed King George Ⅲ.

Huh?

I missed the timing to enter.

George Ⅲ was left isolated at the conference, and the pact was successfully made.

*Pokaan* I stood in front of the door.

Soon, I will return to myself.

Conversely, I think.

I didn"t even need to go out.

I could already see a shadow on Scottyard"s influence.

With the anti-demon conference this time, they"ll have no choice but to stay quiet for a while.

"There"s no point in staying here, so I guess I"ll go home."

I regain my senses, and transferred to a hospital in the city.

It"s the hospital where Auretta was hospitalized at.

In a dreary room, there was one bed.

Auretta was asleep.

There was one more person in the room.

Adrigori was guarding her in the room.

With his mouth like an "へ", he was upright and immovable.

"There were no abnormalities."

"Well, that"s what I thought. It was just in case, so you don"t need to be so stiff."

"As long as I"m guarding her, it"s my mistake if anything happens."

Regardless of what we can"t see, there"s n.o.body who can do such things right in front of us.

I smile bitterly at Adrigori"s seriousness, and looked at Auretta.

"The pact was concluded."

"Then she"s already safe."

"Yeah. I"ll do the rest, so you can go home."

Adrigori bowed once, and transferred.

He said that Auretta had fallen asleep earlier.

"Huh?"

However, as soon as Adrigori left, Auretta opened her eyes.

Then she raised her body.

"Being watched like that, there was no way I"d be able to sleep."

"Sorry about that."

I apologize to Auretta.

On the other hand, apparently she could calm down.

It was a completely wrong selection of personnel.

"No, thank you for your concern."

After that, Auretta showed a sleepy expression.

Her physical strength was drained as a result of the torture, so it can"t be helped.

"If you"re sleepy, you can sleep. You won"t be attacked anymore."

"Um……"

Auretta timidly looked over here.

"What is it?"

"If you don"t mind, can you hold my hand for a while?"

Auretta appealed to me with an anxious expression.

She must"ve been scared today.

If this will eliminate her uneasiness, then there"s only one thing I can do.

I nodded with a smile, moved to the chair by her bed, and sat down.

When I held her hand, probably relieved, Auretta fell asleep soon.

I continued holding her hand until dawn.
