Chapter 384 – And Eventually

“That’s a lie.”

Lui answers with a smile. It took her less than a second to answer. She stares at the now-visible Mead with sparkling eyes.

“Mead-sama is not such a bad person.”

“You wouldn’t understand…”

“I do understand. Mead-sama is the benefactor of Surz. I believe in him, even if it means everything.”

…That’s hard! Surz is so sincere and innocent, so these feelings are really heavy.

When I looked away, Myrril looked at me with a face that said, “What are we going to do?” When we both looked at Marquis Yerkel, she smiled wryly and shook her head. She probably thought, “Even if I am told, I don’t know what to do.” That’s right.

“We have been waiting for the return of Mead-sama… our master, with longing hearts day and night!”

“Huh? Lui, you’ve been waiting… for a long time?”

“Yes.”

So simple.

“I don’t know how much time has passed since he died, but has it been more than ten years?”

“Yes.”

As if it were perfectly natural.

I don’t know how to say this, but these guys are really stubborn.

“We… well, at least Myrril and I have nothing to do with this, so can we go home?”

“””Hey!”””

Mead, Battle Cry, and Marquis Yerkel all speak at the same time.

“Don’t worry, Mead. I won’t rip you off. I’ll change your dollars to local currency. If you want something, I’ll order it and deliver it to you.”

“That’s not what I mean, brother. You know what I mean.”

“I don’t.”

“Yoshua, this is not a conversation for me to get into. To Mead, Surz is what Casemaian is to you.”

“That’s why I don’t understand. Why did he run away? If he was going to let her live, let her live, if he was going to kill her, kill her, he should have done it to the end… I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Don’t look at me with such a lukewarm expression, Myrril-san.”

“All these words are stabbing me in the back.”

You’re right. I got carried away without thinking, and after making them all happy, I just threw everything at them. As a result, Casemaian is running smoothly, and even if I die here, it will probably be okay… but that’s just a coincidence.

“Hey, Uncle, Mir-neechan, the meat is ready~♪”

Nora-chan saved the day. She knocked on the open door and looked at us with a big smile.

“Well, let’s eat. Maybe we’ll get a good idea.”

Saying something I didn’t even believe in myself, I invited everyone downstairs.

“Marquis Yerkel, please join us. We were lucky enough to get some fresh earth dragon meat last night.”

The half-elf nobleman shook her head with a wry smile, though she wasn’t surprised to see the scene of dismantling in the garden.

“Ah, well… that could be considered good luck for you. Usually, when an earth dragon appears, the noble lords who own the land have their lives shortened.”

“I see.”

“Of course, their wealth and the soldiers they have will also be affected. In some cases, they may even lose their titles and their lives.”

“I’m learning a lot.”

With the help of Lafan’s skilled cooks, the earth dragon meat had been transformed into a wonderful dish.

“This is wonderful. Thank you so much.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s quite simple.”

“Well then, Takifu-san, we have a family waiting for us at home, so we’ll leave now.”

Since everyone had brought herbs and root vegetables, in addition to the silver coin for their trouble and the locally produced meat, I also added some alcohol, preserved foods, and sweets to the supply. I wondered if they could carry them, but then I saw that they had brought a sled for the children to pull. I guess that’s the wisdom of living in a snowy region.

“Thank you, Takifu-san. Please call us again if you need anything.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

“See you again, Mir-neechan~♪”

“Oh, Nora, you saved me.”

Well, we, Battle Cry, Surz, and the Marquis, all sat down to breakfast at the table in the upstairs dining room. Mead was with us, but even after we’d ventilated the place, the incense to ward off evil spirits still seemed to linger, so it was a little uncomfortable.

The homeowner, Tig, McCain, and the others serve the food quickly and carefully. They say they were taught how to do this when they were assigned to be Lord McKin’s bodyguards. It’s a little strange that they’re bodyguards, but they seem to have taken to it well.

“Please help yourself to more food. The Marquis can have some as well.”

“I’ll have some.”

“””Let us give thanks to our God and the mercy of Heibern.”””

“Wow!”

Mead, who had heard the Surz’s prayer before meals, was horrified and made a comment.

“I’m not a person who can be put on the same level as God…”

“I know.”

I, who had become a demon king without realizing it, could somewhat sympathize.

“Well, I guess I’ll take some.”

The earth dragon meat was plump and juicy. It was a delicious dish full of flavor. I don’t know if it was magic, but I felt like I had more energy. There was a spicy roast of fatty chunks of meat, a side dish like potato salad, where the leaner parts were cut up and mixed with root vegetables, and a soup like pot-au-feu, where the meat with the bone was stewed with the root vegetables.

Next to it is a flatbread-like chapati. It looks like you wrap it around the fried meat and shredded vegetables that come with it. There is a sour cream-like sauce and a gravy-like sauce, so I guess you can add whichever you prefer. It’s like a Peking duck.

I try some of the food that has been distributed, and it’s all so delicious that I can’t help but let out a cry of delight. Everyone is quietly stuffing themselves. Especially Marquis Yerkel… aren’t you a high-class noble?

“Wow, this is delicious! What is this?

“What do you mean? It’s the earth dragon. Didn’t you see us dismantling it outside?”

“Yes, I was expecting something good, but I didn’t expect it to be this good. You guys have treated us to an earth dragon and a winged dragon before, but this is even better than that.”

The Surz members look at each other in amazement and say, “What kind of full course with dragon species?” but Tig and the others from Battle Cry nod their heads in agreement.

“The wyvern was delicious, but this is really good too.”

“I’ve never eaten a dragon before either, but when you’re with Takifu and the others, you get to eat all kinds of amazing things. Like the sea serpent the other day.”

“Oh, I heard about that from the former Lord of McKin. Apparently, it was a huge party that went on until morning.”

It was a huge party, but only a few of the muscleheads drank until morning.

“Who the hell are you, brother?”

“I’m just a merchant. I’ve been through a lot since I got here.”

After quickly finishing my meal, I pour magic power into the “Blood Oath Sword” placed in the corner of the table. It is said that Mead maintains his spirit body with the magic power it contains. I thought it was amazing that it had lasted for over ten years, but it actually absorbed the magic power stored in the magic stone in the underground storehouse to stay alive.

“Was there a stone in the basement?”

“It’s the stone in the magic stone lamp embedded in the warehouse wall. It was almost out of power when Eino touched it last night, so it was a close call.”

“What will happen to Mead if the sword runs out of magic power?”

As I said this, Myrril traced the pattern engraved on the sword with her finger.

“There are no more patterns after ‘state maintenance.’ There are words written next to it, but they are characters I’ve never seen before. I wonder if only the people of Surz can read them?”

Lui looks away from us when she feels our gaze. But she’s still muttering to herself. Everyone else seems to be listening to our conversation, but they’re still half-heartedly eating their food. They’re too busy enjoying their food to pay attention to us. But that’s okay.

“Hey, brother, I want to ask you a favor.”

That’s what happens. When I look at Myrril, she smiles softly and nods.

“Sure. I’m already in the boat. I’m kind of curious about my senior’s behavior, too.”

I put the “Blood Oath Sword,” which I had just imbued with magic, back into the wooden box and closed the lid.

“Shall we go to the village of Surz?”
