Episode 37
“Thank you.”
Eileen said as soon as she came out of the conversation with the archbishop.
“suddenly?”
“I’m saying this because I came this far. You kept your promise and certainly the reward you promised… …It was quite satisfactory.”
I guess so.
Milium Aryaran’s swordsmanship suits her best.
If you find any teacher in this world, there will be no one like her.
“Master said he would leave immediately. He said he’s looking for someone.”
“What would it be?”
Whatever it is, finding her son will be her first priority.
‘Come to think of it, I haven’t told Milium yet.’
Exactly where her son is and under what circumstances.
Now is the time to let you know.
“Then I will follow you. You won’t be able to leave her even to learn.”
“Yes, of course.”
She replied with a wry smile.
He was silent for a while, as if he was looking for something to say.
“You’re quiet, not like you.”
“What should I say…”
She blushed thinly and wiggled her fingers.
“I’m sorry.”
“Didn’t you apologize last time?”
“At the time, it was just an apology for lying.”
she continued.
“Even if it was an engagement relationship that was made against each other’s will, we would have been able to understand it. But since I didn’t… …”
“What is that?”
To be honest, it’s probably a matter of taste.
At that time, no matter how much I compromised, I was not compatible with Eileen.
Of course, if you ask, you can follow.
No matter how inconsistent your tastes are, an engagement is an engagement.
I wonder if it could have been possible to be a little more considerate of each other… ….
‘But if you think about it like that, I don’t have anything to say.’
Before the regression, I definitely had affection for her.
However, at this time, I only longed for affection, but I did not think to be considerate of the other person.
That would have been enough reason for her to stay away from me.
Of course, I don’t mean to say that I was wrong unconditionally.
If you ask me, that’s the story.
“If you accept my apology, I hope we can have a better relationship in the future than before.”
“It’s a better relationship…”
“A colleague. Since you are a wizard, you might need a knight to stand by your side.”
It was a strange word.
At least I didn’t expect these words to come out of her mouth.
There was never a relationship like this before the return.
When they reunited, it was already irreversible.
“Did I say something strange?”
“No, that’s not it.”
It was just amazing to see different reactions from the same person.
“Do whatever you want.”
I have no intention of forcing her any further.
If you leave it free, the range of growth will be wider. The stronger you become, the more you will become my strength.
“As I said before, now I don’t have that much feeling for you, either for good or for bad.”
“Okay.”
To put it bluntly, it would be safe to say that there is nothing between me and her now.
Wouldn’t the relationship change depending on what happens next?
“Anyway, if you put it nicely, you’re starting from now, right?”
“What would it be?”
At my answer, she smiled and nodded.
“That’s all right. Wait.”
with a confident expression.
“I will catch up soon.”
After talking with Eileen, I immediately headed to Milium.
“So, are you done talking with my student?”
She was already ready to leave.
With this incident, the issue with the Gyokguk has been completely resolved, so there is no need to delay any longer.
“Yes, now I will tell you what I promised. Where is your son now?”
“okay.”
She waited for my words with a slightly nervous expression.
“First of all, I would like to say that Cariaman did not like the manner of homage. That’s why I left.”
“…I know that.”
“So it seems that we have decided to go the exact opposite way. He decided to become a recognized guardian, not a vigilante.”
Cariaman escaped after being captured by a rat.
But on the other hand, how could he, as a young boy, escape from a rat-like monster?
The answer is surprisingly simple.
Even the rats drifted towards the forces they couldn’t help.
“The Condor Mercenaries.”
“…!”
Her eyes widened at my words.
“If it’s a condor…A defender of freedom! Wait, that kid went in there?”
“That’s right.”
Condor Mercenaries.
They are a huge mercenary group formed with the motto of ‘freedom’ and have built a reputation as ‘legitimate guardians’.
It is not easy for the mercenaries to be recognized as honorable.
However, the Condor Mercenary Corps is different.
A legitimate and honorable mercenary group recognized by the Empire and the 4 Kingdoms.
They intervened in the conflict from a thoroughly neutral standpoint, not belonging anywhere.
To put it bluntly, what they followed was freedom.
That’s what Mylus, the mercenary leader of the Condor, thought right away.
He, like Milium, was also a free knight who had been called by many nobles since he was young, and he valued freedom above all else.
“If you are a gentleman, you know? They are thorough. The moment you become a member of the Condor, you give up your old name and take on a new one.”
“Is that why you didn’t know?”
“Yes, all ties with the outside are cut. Because I will live as a new condor mercenary member.”
No matter how hard she did, she would never have been able to find her son’s whereabouts.
It was a coincidence.
A boy named Kariaman was captured by a rat and managed to escape and was saved by someone’s hand.
And in the process, he even realized his ‘mission’.
before regression.
The 7th corps commander ate the condor mercenaries.
But among them, I left one corpse as my ‘trophy’.
A time of tragedy in which many people died.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal if it was the corpse of an ordinary person, but the problem was that it wasn’t.
Because of that corpse, the few Masters left in humanity went mad.
‘But Baalzebub, the commander of the 7th corps, is no more.’
Besides, a lot could change if she got reunited with my son any time soon.
Maybe now a lot has changed from the future I remember.
Okay.
“Look for the Condor mercenaries, Sir Milium. Your son is there.”
“….”
“Why is that?”
There was no answer from Milium for a while.
Hearing from me where my son was, it seemed that his worries increased even more.
“Is it right to visit?”
“Huh, what are you talking about after looking for it for such a long time?”
“If that child had been living a normal life, or if he was in a situation where he needed my help, he would have gone. I thought so just a moment ago. but…”
she continued.
“Listening to what you said, the child has chosen a path. I didn’t want to become someone like me.”
“….”
“I only hurt the subject who couldn’t even act as a mother. But am I really qualified to find that child… …I don’t know.”
she was struggling
not understandable
The situation between the hats and hats was more complicated than I thought.
one.
“That’s something you can meet and check, Sir Milium.”
i know the future
she became mad
She went mad with pain while holding her son’s cold body.
“Let’s talk first. After that, it doesn’t matter if you respect your son’s doctor. After all, only the two of you know exactly who is right.”
“Uh um….”
“If you think you have a deep relationship with Jung’s son, you need to think about it. Children may give up on their parents, but parents cannot give up on their children.”
“…Do you think so?”
she let out a bitter laugh.
“Besides, there will probably be something that requires a sutra. So please go for now.”
Probably, there will be no such thing as destroying the Condor Mercenary Corps by the 7th Corps commander like before.
In any case, the other great demons hiding themselves will also be targeting the Condor Mercenaries.
It’s clear that just having her attached to the condor mercenaries will be a huge deterrent.
“Well, I can’t give up.”
She nodded as if she had concluded.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I feel a little more at ease.”
“It was nothing.”
Of course, one way or another, she would have wanted to find her son.
I just wanted someone else to convince me.
“Are you leaving right away?”
“It should be.”
I nodded and took something out of my pocket and handed it to her.
“…This?”
“It is a simple medicine that I personally made. Perhaps your son needs something, so you can keep it and use it.”
“Hmm…I knew what.”
She took the medicine from me and bowed her head.
In a slightly different way than before.
“Thank you, little Walpurgis.”
Example as a knight.
“You didn’t want my sword, but the grace you erased still remains… …”
She raised her head slowly, her eyes shining.
“I will return it when the time is right.”
* * *
Milium and Eileen immediately left the capital.
Perhaps, even if there is a day to reunite with the two in the future, it will take quite some time.
“Well, it seems to have been resolved well, but…”
Lian looked at me with his arms crossed and a very dissatisfied expression.
“Did I need to come?”
“Are you asking that now?”
After Aileen and Milium left, Lian didn’t like something.
“Did you hear something from Lord Milium?”
“No, the opposite. He didn’t say anything bitter.”
“Is that the problem?”
The guy shook his hand.
“Think about it. They couldn’t even resist, and were overwhelmingly suppressed. If he was disappointed, it means that I didn’t show my abilities myself. But on the other hand, he spoke with restraint.
“Are you trying to say that I wasn’t even capable of disappointing you?”
“…okay.”
I don’t think it’s like that, but if he thinks of himself, it’s probably like that.
He’s not the kind of person who would be defeated by something like this in the first place.
I’ll get my motivation back soon.
I threw something at him.
“Take it.”
“hmm…?”
The guy looked at the acceptance with a puzzled expression and said.
“pendant?”
“It is a symbol of being an assistant to a candidate for a hero. Thanks to this incident, I passed the first checkpoint, so I will continue to go all the way to Kyoguk.”
At my words, he saw me.
“Kyoguk…? no wait! I’m sure it’s a promise to go all the way to the capital regarding the prophecy… …!”
“So you’re not going?”
“Did you not hear what I just said? Questioning my own abilities… …!”
“Then you should follow me further.”
I said with a smile.
“Couldn’t it be that the ‘next-generation swordsman’ is going to hang down his tail like a defeated dog with just that one?”
“Hey dog…”
“Follow me if you have the energy. It will help you too.”
In general, there is nothing good about a person whose self-esteem has been destroyed once.
But this guy is different.
“…If you accompany them, you will run into situations like this even if you don’t like it?”
“yes.”
At that time, the butler smiled and approached from where he came from.
“Your words are correct, Confucius. It will be quite helpful to Confucius. That’s what it means to challenge the ‘hero’.”
“Where have you been?”
“Ah, I met an old relationship by chance! As we talked, time passed before we knew it.”
“Anyway.”
sly.
“So what is the answer?”
“Damn it. It doesn’t feel good because it seems to be moving the way you think… …”
The guy scratched his head and then said.
“good night. I don’t know if I can be of any help.”
“that…”
It was then.
“Obviously, but it is necessary.”
Cassandra said as she walked toward me.
“A hero cannot be strong alone. A trusted colleague is also necessary.”
“…Is that me?”
“Yes, to be precise, that is the criterion by which a hero is selected. Popularity is also an area of evaluation.”
It was as she said.
Cassandra turned her head and looked in my direction.
“You seem to have gained the support of Archbishop Alley. His initiative is not small, so it will be quite helpful to Michael.”
“I guess so.”
“Hmm, so, but…”
Cassandra said, putting her hand to her chest.
“I’m just wondering if I can help you a bit?”
“What if it helps?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve run away, and I think it’s time to come back.”
“Ca casa?!”
The paladin next to her screamed in amazement.
But after calming her down as if it were okay, Cassandra said.
“How is it? I wonder if the support of the ‘prophet’ in the church country would be quite helpful symbolically.”
Great mage who transcends by regression
