Chapter 39: CH 39

After the persuasion in the royal capital, the lifting of the spell on Lionetta’s sister, Arrietta, proceeded at a rapid pace.

And so it should be. For Brad, this world is like a game he’s already played. It would be rather strange to get stuck.

The flow was simple.

There are four huge mountain ranges running east, west, north, south, and west in the continent of Lades. Each of these mountains has the four major attributes of fire, water, wind, and earth, and they are the dungeons where the main events occur in Final Quest.

One of these dungeons is “Flame Mountain,” which Brad and Lionetta visited this time.

In the depths of the dungeon, in a hidden room near the crater, sits the “Phoenix,” a monster known as the “Phantom Spirit Bird.

The Tears of the Phoenix, which drop when the Phoenix is defeated, are the world’s most powerful elixir that can cure any disease or curse and are also the key item that lifted Arrietta’s curse in Final Quest.

Relying on his memories from “Final Quest,” Brad crisply conquered Flame Mountain and arrived at the Phoenix.

He explains the situation to Phoenix and asks him to give him the Tear of the Phoenix, but the Phoenix is a misanthropic, high-spirited monster who hates people and is very noble. as in the original story, and we went into battle.

He attacked us with his original line “This filthy person!”

The result was, of course, our victory.

After all, this was Brad, whose level and status were at the level of the end of the original story, and the boss character Lionetta, who was even stronger than Brad. There was no way we could lose to Phoenix, who was only a mid-boss in the original.

Afterwards, Brad asked Phoenix for help again after he had cooled down, and succeeded in obtaining the Tear of the Phoenix.

“This way!”

–And now.

Brad was led by Lionetta to a deserted church.

The church is located on a secluded promontory and there are no people in sight, instead there are several armed magic dolls. She must have had them guard the church while she was away.

(She’s really careful. There are traps all over the place.)

While looking at the church, Brad and Lionetta went into an underground room hidden in the back of the chapel.

“……!?”

Then, his eyes widened at the sight of the room

It was an elegant room that looked as if it had been set up for a princess or the daughter of a great nobleman. All of the furnishings were elegantly designed in white and lovely, and all of them were custom-made by top-notch craftsmen.

“I hope I didn’t scare you. My sister has always longed to be a princess, so I thought I should at least fulfill her wishes by making her room look like that of a princess. I really care about my sister, she’s my one and only family.”

Lionetta said with a smile and walked to the canopy bed which was at the center of the room.

When Brad opened the curtain, it was a really beautiful girl who was sleeping there.

“…”

Brad remembers the girl from his previous life, she was so innocent.

The girl who is about ten years old looks like the doll Lionetta always carried on her shoulders. In fact, since her sister fell into the curse, Lionetta created a dull that imitated her sister and kept it by her side.

“You must really care about your sister.

“She’s the only family I’ve ever known.”

Lionetta walks to Arietta, looking at her compassionately while squeezing her little hand.

Brad walked over to the bed and took out a vial of “phoenix tears” from his pocket.

“……”

Lionetta gave Brad some space while moving away from the bed with an anxious look.

“……”

It seems he was able to get her to trust him by making the “Oath of the Sword”, but she still feels uneasy about whether he can break the curse.

“…”

Brad smiled at Lionetta as if to reassure her, and stood beside the bed.

He opened the lid of the vial.

“Medication.”

He chanted.

Instantly. The tears of the phoenix in the vial shone with a dazzling radiance of life and fell on Arietta as sparkling particles.

–Medication.

It’s a fourth rank magic that is mainly used for healing. It’s a magic that vaporizes liquid medicines such as potions and allows them to penetrate directly into the body. It’s useful for using potions more efficiently, or when using them on unconscious patients, as in this case.

“……”

As the tears of the phoenix enveloped her, Arietta’s face twisted in anguish.

Soon, magic power like a black mist came out of her little body with the sound of moisture evaporating.

That was the “root” of the curse.

When she sees her sister groaning in agony because of the overflowing evil magic power, Lionetta hurriedly casts her gaze on Brad.

“Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon.”

Brad says and nods

As his words implied, the “roots” of the curse were exhausted from Arietta’s body after a while and her expression becomes peaceful.

“Arietta?”

Lionetta screams and shakes Arietta’s body.

And then—

The moment finally came after a brief breath-taking silence.

“Mmmm……”

A thin voice leaked from Arietta’s throat.

Lionetta shook her head in unbelief and clenched her teeth to suppress the torrent of emotions that were pooling up in her.

“…….”

Arietta slowly opened her round eyes and turned them towards Lionetta.

“Onee-san? (Sister)”

It seems that with just those few words, the dam of Lionetta’s emotions was successfully broken. Lionetta crumpled as her beautiful face distorted and she hugged her little sister with unbearable sobs.

There were no words.

The sisters simply embraced each other in silence, never wanting to part.

They hugged each other tightly for what felt like an eternity, as if to make up for the time they had been pulled apart.

(…… What is this, I’m going to cry)

The only reason I did this was to avoid my own death end, but it’s indeed heartbreaking to witness such a scene.

The love between the sisters, bound by a solid bond, was shown to me, and I was moved.

“……”

After a while, Lionetta regained her composure, confirmed that her sister was safe, and bowed deeply to Brad.

It was a bow that was unimaginably deep from her who seemed to have a high sense of pride.

“I’m just fulfilling my contract.”

Brad says so in a relaxed manner, but Lionetta doesn’t look up.

“I have threatened your country, your people and even your own life. Nevertheless, you reached out to me. There is no merit to it, but you risked your life to save this child. I can’t thank you enough.”

By reconciling with Lionetta, Brad will be far away from the death end. How can I put it without calling it an advantage?

(I hope it’s misunderstood in a good way. …… Well, I’m glad we reconciled.)

Brad stroked his chest with relief. This should have erased the death end for him.

“In any case, you’ve now externally defeated me, one of the four demon generals. I’m not sure that Beelzebub will leave you alone and I’m sure that other countries will mark you as a person to watch out for. Some of them will probably send assassins to you. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but you have to be careful.”

“Yeah…”

‘I’m not okay at all’ Brad exclaims inwardly.

I thought I was acting to avoid the death end, but when the Demon King’s army and other countries mark you and even send assassins to you, you’re even closer to the end of death than in Final Quest.

(No, but, well, ……)

Instead, I got to see the smiling faces of these beautiful sisters. If you think about it, it’s not so bad – well, it is bad, but it’s not so bad that you can’t understand it.

And somehow, Brad is steadily gaining strength and the strength of the Brad Corps (Provisional) is gaining as well. Even if I find myself in a dangerous situation, I should be able to get through it with my knowledge of the game, unless something goes wrong.

And speaking of strength…

“What are you going to do now, Lionetta? Now that your sister’s curse has been lifted, you don’t need to cooperate with the demon king’s army do you?”

“Yeah, I’m going to have to leave them. However, it’s the law of the Demon King’s Army to purge traitors… eventually, pursuers will come after me here, so I’ll hide myself somewhere for now.”

It’s a good idea to hide herself for a while when considering the safety of Arietta.

“Then why don’t you come to Sky Mountain until the dust settles?”

Brad thoughtfully suggested.

“Sky Mountain?”

“Yeah, that’s where all the monsters I tamed have set up a little base. It’s at the site of the temple where the Cyclops used to have a stronghold.”

In the 15th level of Sky Mountain, the Cyclops’ stronghold, there was a structure that looked like a temple. The monsters were ordered to renovate as well as strengthen themselves by leveling. Since it was originally built for human habitation, it would be the perfect place to hide.

When I suggested it, Lionetta was worried for a while.

“Sure… the demon king’s army has a policy of leaving sky mountain as it is. It doesn’t seem as though many people go there, so I wonder if I’ll be able to…”

“That’s fine, I’ll get you the supplies!”

Brad smiled freshly, but grinned inwardly and giggled.

If he can get Lionetta to join Brad’s Corps (provisional), it will greatly strengthen his forces. Even if not, just having Lionetta as a partner in leveling the demons would be a great benefit. The experience gained from battling the stronger ones is enormous, and it’s easy to raise their level.

“Miss Arietta, would you be okay with that?”

Brad smiles at Arietta who is hiding behind Lionetta while sneaking a peak at him.

She then turned with her cheeks bright red and hides behind her big sister again

Lionetta shrugged her shoulders.

“Does she hate me?”

“The opposite, I think.”

The other way around?　　Brat tilts his head.

Lionetta stroked Arrieta’s head gently.

“As I said earlier, we’ve lived in the dark for so long, so this kid has long admired princes and princesses. If such a glittering prince had saved her, she can’t help as a girl right?”

“Onee-san!! Don’t say that!”

Arietta pouts her lips and puffs her cheeks. But Lionetta deflates her cheeks with her hands and laughs.

“I’m honored to have such a lovely princess feel un-hateful towards me.”

Brad glances at Arietta and smiles gently.

Arietta’s face turned brighter red than ever and she buries her face on Lionetta’s back.

Brad looks at the situation with a smile thinking that children her age overreact and are cute.

Lionetta looks at them with a smile.

“Anyway I’ll hide in sky mountain for a while. I’ll owe me a bit more.”

“Don’t worry, we’re on the same ship.”

When the story settled like that—

“…”

Brad’s chest suddenly became hot.

When he noticed, the light of magic power was leaking from there. It was the magic stone for communication. Someone might be contacting him.

While thinking about who it was, he took out the magic stone –

“Brad-sama, can you hear me?”

The voice I heard was too terrifying to be that of a human being and I soon recognized who it was.

The undead, Lord. He was one of the 100 sky mountain monsters tamed by Brad and is a monster that has been tentatively tasked with leading the others.

“Oh, are you doing well?”

“Thanks to Brad-sama’s perfect guidance, everyone is steadily improving their skills. I’m looking forward to showing you our evolved army! Because it has enough power to defeat about a battalion of the demon king’s army.”

“Oh… that’s good.” Brad nodded, though he thought it would be too much to say that in this short period of time.

“Is the base being renovated? I’ll like to have two guests stay there for a while.”

“Oh… you are bringing a guest? It’s not perfect yet, but it has become beautiful with the help of the cat people, the Cait Sith. Please come anytime you will be treated to the best along with your guests.”

I explained to the cat people about Lord at a minimum level. But I’m glad they have already established a friendly relationship. Although there are examples in part of the Deltora peninsula, it’s unusual for monsters and humans to have such a relationship. Maybe it worked out, partly because Mina is the head.

“Thank you. Then when the two people arrive, please kindly look after them.”

“Ha! Leave it to me.”

The undead lord responded quickly, but seemed to remember something else “That’s right, there’s one more thing… from shadow who was investigating the recent situation of Dastoria and Elnade as a scout, there was a report earlier…”

I remember there was a story like this…

During final quest, Beelzebub worked behind the scenes to cause war between Dastoria and Elnade. I had the monsters under my control go check out the situation for me. I wanted to find out if that battle will happen in this world as well.

“What’s the situation in both countries?”

“That’s actually…”

The undead lord began to report shadow’s findings, which were a little bit hard to say.
