Chapter 348: Love Consultation

After Melty’s coronation finished, we return to the village

Stuff’s been happening, and we’ve been busy lately

It’s the fae that puts my mind most at ease

Hmm?

Ren’s with Feht

Come to mention it, he follows her around a lot

As Melty’s personal guard, it was decided that she would be promoted and stationed in the castle from here on out

But to protect the country from the monsters that had been overly active due to the Wave, she went out with Ren to level

“How are things going on your side?” (Naofumi)

“I guess it’s going sh” (Ren)

“I see… what about you, Feht?” (Naofumi)

“Iwatani-dono, can’t you learn ht)

“Um, was it éclair?” (Naofumi)

“Is she supposed to be some sort of dessert?” (Ren)

Ren’s retort was quite sharp

Though I’m not sure if she knows about the dessert, Raphtalia often cautions me to call her Eclaire-san

(TL: Feht’s name is エクレール(Ekure-ru) while the desert is エクレア (Ekurea))

I know It was intentional

“Even though you said you would pound a lot of training into Ren, it looks like you’re the one being taught now I thank you for the work you did up to your Class Up” (Naofumi)

“Why are you acting so self-iht)

“Because I a status, but for some reason, I’m now an Archduke I truly am important” (Naofumi)

“You got proain? Despite that, you don’t look too happy” (Ren)

“Yeah, it was againstabout what happens after the world’s at peace, it’s best if you treatof my title” (Naofumi)

“Mu… you’re right” (Feht)

She’s started to i from her path, this one

What was she doing before this?

I think… she was in Trash’s enca Faublian invaders

“And? Did you learn how to e land yet?” (Naofumi)

“Looking at Iwatani-dono and the Queen, as well as the King, I’ht)

“Hmm…” (Naofumi)

In the end, Feht aims to be a lord of some sorts

I guess you can call Melty and Trash her ideal

“Eclaire-san…” (Raphtalia)

“I’ll bet that if we lost that battle, we all would have been labelled as Evil Justice is… I ht)

“Isn’t it Justice as long as you win?” (Naofumi)

“You can say that But is there justice in a land ruled by a strong lord? A country is … is what I want to believe” (Feht)

“Eclaire is always looking ahead I’d like to learn to do that too” (Ren)

Ren looks to Feht in praise

In the end, he does look up to her, and he tries to look after Taniko

That hasn’t changed

Though Taniko really seems to hate it

I signal Ren to come closer and whisper in his ear

“Did you confess yet?” (Naofumi)

“Wha… it’s not like that!” (Ren)

“Ah, so you prefer little girls?” (Naofumi)

“T-that is…” (Ren)

Ren see, but he holds it in

Was he trying to say I’

No, is he?

Just a little earlier, I got engaged to Melty, so if I play this poorly, I’ll be labelled a Lolicon

And the ones who surround e

Raphtalia, Atlas, Firo, Kiel, and the others

Thinking about it like that makes me feel a bit conflicted…

“Right… Naofumi is… never mind” (Ren)

“You see Spit it out” (Naofumi)

“No… um…” (Ren)

Ren looks towards Fohl, who’s lecturing the slaves training their skills

Why is it Fohl again?

“What sort of ?” (Naofumi)

“Eh? I -” (Ren)

“I get it so just shut up!” (Naofumi)

What sort ofis this?

While it’s true that I sleep with Fohl on occasion, there are a few things wrong with his assumption

Well, it’s a bit rough, but the feel of Fohl’s fur isn’t bad

“Love is free, right? Recently I learned that” (Naofumi)

It isn’t just about Atlas’s will So that I don’t have any regrets, I decided it was necessary for me to learn to love

To regret because I wasn’t able to do anything is too much to bear

“Ren” (Naofumi)

“What?” (Ren)

“After we restore peace to the world, what do you want to do?” (Naofumi)

“… Let’s see” (Ren)

Ren signals for aze to the village

The Holy Weapon will probably ask him whether he wants to return to his old world, or remain in this one

I plan to return, but it’s not a bad option if Ren and the others choose to stay

“Will you remain here?” (Naofumi)

“I don’t know What do you think I should do, Eclaire?” (Ren)

“Me? I don’t knohy you’re asking ht?” (Feht)

“Yeah… I have ot about it when I came here” (Ren)

“What you do is your choice, so I can’t say anything by principle But if you have lingering feelings for that place, then it’s better that you return If you save the world, I won’t be able to declare whether you’ve atoned for your sins or not, but working for others is-” (Feht)
