Chapter 407 – Straying Sincerity

We were called by the chief and returned to his house (which also served as a meeting place). Mead was sitting uncomfortably on a scroll of visualization magic that had been spread out on the tokonoma-like thing.

“If we’ve been called, does that mean you’ve come to some sort of conclusion?”

“…Ah, yes. I guess so.”

When Myrril and I looked at each other, the bald old man’s ghost and the old man looked away from each other and fidgeted. This isn’t good, and it’s also a little creepy, so stop it.

“What’s with this half-hearted attitude? Have you decided or not? Be clear!”

“…Nothing happened.”

“”Huh?””

“We have no hope, no desire to be saved.”

The chief said under Mead’s gaze. The only and greatest concern, the recapture of the captured Surz, had been achieved, and the Imperial Army that had abused them had been dismantled. If individual troops without the support of the national army of a powerful country could handle even their own warriors, they would not be a threat in the future. In other words.

“I see. You can do without help now.”

Mead laughed bitterly and shook his head.

“I made a fool of myself. I’m sorry, brother… no, Your Majesty the Demon King and Your Majesty the Queen.”

“What are you talking about? You two really are hopelessly stupid.”

Myrril laughed and looked at the chief and Mead.

“This is not what I call a wasted journey. The people you were worried about are safe and living well on their own. What is there to apologize for? You should be rejoicing, not apologizing! What you should be saying is a blessing, not a stingy whine!”

The two old men, one of them quite old, cowered at Nojaloli-sensei’s rebuke.

“But you did well, Chief.”

The Chief and Mead looked up at the friendly voice that followed.

“You have met Mead’s expectations, and you have preserved and protected the nearly extinct Surz bloodline and brought it to this point.”

“Such praise is unworthy of me.”

“Mead, you have done well. With your encouragement, these people have been awakened and are no longer the oppressed and miserable barbarians of the frontier. They are the bloodline of the strong, who will not be pushed around. They are your proud compatriots.”

Their faces contort. The old man, trying to hold back tears, has an unusually ugly face that is difficult to respond to. After all, when you get past middle age, you have to kill your emotions. If you can, you should; if you can’t, it means you’ve lost as an adult.

“Well… but it’s time to go.”

“Eh.”

“Even if it’s out of goodwill, we can’t keep the dead bound to this world forever.”

The two lock eyes. When Mead nods, Chief Meis nods back as if he had been prepared for this.

“Tomorrow night we will be able to bring back the people of Surz that we rescued. Would you allow us to have a celebration? A farewell for Surz and Mead from me, the Demon King, and the people of Casemaian.”

I nodded in response to Myrril’s look.

“I have accepted. Before that, Mead.”

I thought I’d take care of something that was bothering me.

“I don’t know if you can or not, but I thought you might want to say hello to someone before you die.”

“…Say hello? To whom?”

“Simon. I think it’s the son of the ‘Misha’ you dealt with when you were alive.”
