Chapter 34. Former hero?vows a punishment for the princess
2 days later.
Currently, I am sitting enclosed by a desk in a windowless and heavily guarded room.
This is because Yunikram and Caroline who was out on official business throughout came back.
Thinking about where they went for as long as 2 months, it seems that they have gone to do an investigation beforehand for the fort attack.
And today, a strategy meeting was held based on the information from the 2 of them.
Moved by Rithina just the other day, it’s this as soon as I had decided to participate in the fort attack.
It’s really a perfectly managed schedule.
Or was it according to plan?
Haaa.
No, let’s stop with the regret of my past decision.
Now, I should return to the corresponding situation now.
Anyway, let’s concentrated on the strategy meeting now..
———-
Gauge fort.
It is a place approximately a week south from the Imperial capital, and was formerly an important site for defense against the invading tribes and demons from even further south.
However, after the unification of the southern parts, the fort which had finished it duty seemed to have become a hub for traffic now.
All of a sudden, demons seemed to have invaded there.
———-
They appear to be demons coming from the large forest in the south.
The purpose is unknown.
Around the location of gauge fort…… demons targeting the Imperial Capital especially are sent out sporadically.
Because the scale is too small to be called an invasion of the demon king troops, it seems that there was no relation to the demon king forces.”
Yunikram stands before something like a blackboard installed in the inner part of the room and explains the situation.
It is relatively close to the Imperial Capital, and is an hub for traffic of the southern area now.
Because such a place has been occupied by demons, it was bad within and out of the country, and there is a need for an immediate action.
Initially a subjugation unit was dispatched, and although apparently they had tried to recapture it, somehow in an unfortunate event, the leader of the demons occupying the fort is a demon race.
Thus, the subjugation unit at that time is annihilated.
At the point of trying to recall the hero who was on a pilgrimage around the country, he was beaten up in Torres by another demon race, and had decided to undergo training.
Huh?
Come to think of it, Laurier was born in the forest to the south.
“Hey, Laurier. Do you happen to know the demon race occupying this fort?”
“…..Fuee?
N? Nn?….. What are you talking about?”
This fellow, she fell asleep.
“……It seems that a demon race has occupied the fort to the south.
And that fellow appears to have came from the large forest in the south.
You, I think you were born in the forest of the south?
Do you know something ab……”
“I do not know it!”
…….
Let’s stop asking this fellow anything already.
We do not know the enemy’s purpose.
Because it can’t be verified under the present conditions,
but next is how to recapture it concretely.
The gauge fort seem to have an underpass for escaping that is not in use now.
Leon and the other 3 will invade from there.
The feat, is a mission to kill the demon race within.
Leon and Aura have strengthened considerably in these 2 months,
Although they are not at a level to win against Laurier yet, they have reach the point to be able to fight Laurier head-on unlike before.
After 1 month.
If I include Yunikram and Ms.Caroline in the training, if it’s 4 people, I think it isn’t impossible to defeat the demon race.
However, as I cannot cover all sorts of demon race in one word, it isn’t possible to declare it.
Is it safe for Laurier to follow?
No, this is also an experience for the hero.
If they are defeated again by any chance, then at that time.
However, to let 2 pretty ladies, Aura and Caroline encounter danger……….
“Mr.Haruto. You don’t have to worry about it.
We will surely show you the defeat of the demon race!”
When I was making a grimace and going ‘Yea yea’, Leon guessed and said so.
No way, Leon is an Ikemen after all. So Cool.
I think it’s not the case of not having confidence.
However, I suppose it’s a face to entrusted it to.
Yeah.
For me too, my life was always in danger when I was a Hero.
And yet, I overcame it by join forces with my company.
Friendship with 2 uncles, an old geezer and a beast.
I haven’t forgotten.
Leon is a hero too.
It’s no use to be excessively overprotective with an attitude looking down on him.
To safely return in another month.
It will be my job to train them properly.
And, on that day, I will just carry out my duty without fail.
