c375 (2/2)

Outside the castle… no, es up

… I distanced myself from that idiot couple, and found Itsuki

He was also snuggled close to Rishi+a, and talking

Once he spotted me, Itsuki called out

“What’s wrong, Naofuuest of honor mopes around in a place like this” (Itsuki)

“Even if I’m not there, everyone will party” (Naofumi)

“But I think they’ll have even more fun if you’re there” (Itsuki)

“Yes, I also think that” (Rishi+a)

“Yeah, yeah And? What are you guys doing here?” (Naofumi)

“Us? We’re leisurely enjoying the banquet as we plan for what’s to come” (Itsuki)

“Despite that, you’re letting out quite a sweet atmosphere, you know” (Naofumi)

“Fue!?” (Rishi+a)

Lettheir duty slide

Even when they’re iuests too, they passed all of their responsibilities ontotheir time here I’ll curse them

“Yes I’ a sweet atmosphere with Rishi+a-san” (Itsuki)

“FUEEEEEE!?” (Rishi+a)

Rishi+a raises her voice even louder, as her face turns red

“I-Itsuki?” (Naofumi)

“It may sound very selfish But I wish to answer to Rishi+a-san’s good will I ale woman happy, I do not believe I will be able to save anyone Especially if it’s someone as sinless as her” (Itsuki)

“Itsuki-sama… No matter what happens, I will not stray from your side” (Rishi+a)

“Rishi+a-san…” (Itsuki)

And a dimension for only the two of them was created

Ah, just go flirt however you want

If you just take onstupid

“It seems really peaceful over here, Naofumi-san Can I have a ith you?”

“Yeah”

And there, Glass appeared She savesItsuki and Rishi+a

“I’round, bit I was unsure of what countermeasures to take” (Naofumi)

If Raphtalia was there, then perhaps I could have run, but right now, she’s atwith the nobles in place of me

I’ll have to swap out with her later

Atlas is in theFohl

Well, I doubt it’ll have any effect on her, though

Raph-chan is singing along with Firo

Ah, he changed to child Raphtalia form

And the real one got mad

“And? How is it? The feeling of a world at peace” (Naofumi)

“… I guess I’m to find that out from here on I’m sure that from here on, the people ofwith one another” (Glass)

And so, she’s not participating in the festivities

It’s not like I don’t get her

“If it’s about that, it’s not like I can’t do anything” (Naofumi)

“Do you have so special planned?” (Glass)

“There’s a way to separate the worlds sticking together As long as the worlds remain divided, you won’t have to deal with unnecessary clashes, right?” (Naofumi)

“Is that… what you called the power of God?” (Glass)

“Yeah, I can’t do it, but Raphtalia is able to Though your sacred weapons will have to be enshrined away somewhere” (Naofumi)

If they do that, a God wouldn’t be able to get in He wouldn’t have the chance to

Well, I have a barrier over this world, I’ll erect one over the divided world as well I’m sure that they’ll be able to form a peaceful place there

“Is that… so?” (Glass)

“So what do you want to do, Glass?” (Naofumi)

“… I do not know There are definitely conflicts, but I think overco is also an important part of life” (Glass)

“That’s right, there may be those around here that do not wish to accept others Perhaps there will be persecution as well” (Naofumi)

“Then… will true peace ever come?” (Glass)

“No idea This is e find at the end of this strange world assi within those of the same race as well” (Naofumi)

My world’s a good example

In the end, living things live through conflicts with others

Even if there’s nothing but hu for supremacy, and wars as a result

You can’t call a single race world a peaceful one

“This is quite difficult” (Glass)

“That’s right By the way, Glass, you won’t celebrate with your own comrades?” (Naofumi)

I ree

But Glass is here talking with me

“Yes, I was enjoying the banquet up until a little while ago But after cal down a bit, all of my tension was put on brakes” (Glass)

“Cal down…” (Naofumi)

“… I used to have a very i Without that person here, I wonder if it is alright for me to have fun by myself” (Glass)

“Friend? Someone you liked?” (Naofumi)

“While we are close as friends, that person is a woman” (Glass)

“Ah, I see” (Naofumi)

“Nohere is that person, and what are they doing…” (Glass)

“Are you sure they aren’t dead? Do you want me to search for them?” (Naofumi)

“That’s right Having Naofumi-san find her is another option But she said she would definitely return one day, so I’ll wait here, and protect the world for her” (Glass)

With the world in a pinch, there was aperson…

Glass is also so for her

I’ll try searching with God’s power

I found a strange point in Glass’s past, and couldn’t find that friend of hers in her memory

Was she an otherworlder?

I don’t think she’s dead, but It’ll be difficult to find her even for me

IF I exerted myself, it would be possible, but with Glass herself like this…

“My fight has yet to end” (Glass)

“Make sure you don’t collapse somewhere” (Naofumi)

“I know” (Glass)

And for a while, I quietly watched the night sky with her on the terrace

When I heard the audience getting loud again, I checked back to find the Old Man, I an ice sculpture

It seeic topieces off of it

“Oh, if it isn’t the laddie” (Old Man)

“What are you up to, Old Man? And wait, you were attending the castle’s banquet?” (Naofumi)

“They asked otten here I wanted to congratulate you for the battle, so watch here” (Old Man)

Working skillfully with a hammer, the Old Man finishes the sculpture

A life-sized Firo is carved, and I seriously think the skill put into it is a with this picture?

What’s more, it’s a human form bird form set

“If you have any requests, just say it It doesn’t have to be ice” (Old Man)

“Fumu…” (Naofumi)

“Then I would like to place a request on your arms”

For some reason, Trash crossed the sea of people, and made an order

“I would like a large statue singing praise of Iwatani-dono’s exploits Of course, after these festivities are over And rand” (Trash)

“What are you saying, old geezer?” (Naofumi)

“I was only talking about the reale do you estimate it to be?” (Old Man)

“Fuh that it can be seen in Melromark from afar” (Trash)

“Oh!? A statue of Father-in-Law!? There was one in a country ofof freedom!” (Motoyasu)

“The Goddess portion sounds ominous, but if it’s Naofumi-dono, then I can assure the people will revere and extol his form for many years to come” (Trash)

“STOOOOOOPPPPP!” (Naofumi)

Why do they have toas that?

Trash;s thought are leaping too fast, and I feel sick!

And Motoyasu, don’t hop on board!

What sort of sad reasons do you have to coerce the Old Man into iant statue of me?

Let’s try to calm them down, and foil their construction plans

“You’ve been promoted quite a bit, laddie” (Old Man)

“Please quit it with the jokes” (Naofumi)

“Haha, the fact that it’s becoet quieter” (Old Man)

“… Did I do so bad?” (Naofumi)

Weapon shops generally rake in profit when there’s a feared enemy to combat

In the age to coht, but I doubt there will be a ti the waves

“Don’t mind it Peace is to be enjoyed in itself And it’s not like I only sell weapons, you know” (Old Man)

I think… I heard that Iy shop in the past

In a peaceful shop, perhaps a weapon store beco like that

He did build Firo’s carriage, and I think he can do business as a utility man with metal

“This is all because of you, laddie I guess thathard for ya And for a while,to be stable” (Old Man)

The Old Man winks, and points behind him

“As expected of the store the Hero of the shi+eld-sama frequents! Please make equipment for me!”

“No, that will be my—“

Various requests started flooding in, and the nobles and representatives of other countries began whispering ast themselves

Well, the bulk of the ar was made by his store

Its abilities were so high, it was surprising

After that we had a simple conversation with a few jokes mixed in

Motoyasu demanded that the Firo Statue be preserved for eternity, and he made the impossible request to Marin In the end, with the Old Man’s per down

“Old Man-san, thank you for all you’ve done up until now” (Raphtalia)

Raphtalia comes over, and extends her thanks to the Old Man

“Oh, if it isn’t the young lass! Haven’t you grown up nicely? It makes the first time I met you seem like a lie” (Old Man)

Thinking back, it was quite a long road…

I was fraht weapons from the Old Man… a lot happened

“No, Ladies and gentleather round It’s the monster acrobatic show Yes”

Ah, the Slave Dealer I haven’t seen in a while is using hislike a circus show

A large tiger-likeof fire, and a u rode a bicycle The scene tells me that there are some monsters who know not the world has been saved

Taniko is watching the show in anticipation

Out of curiosity, she keeps asking the Slave Dealer what monsters will come out

I understand that she likesto uses slaves, and works monsters to the bone He’s a terrible person, you know

What’s more, they started some incomprehensible rivalry, and Taniko took the e to do a performance

Those that were modified into Raphs, and the Filo Rials Gaelion’s tricks also sent the audience into high spirits

Ah, I found Motoyasu’s for Elena

She’sa really sullen face as she converses with her parents

“… Ah”

“It’s been a while” (Naofumi)

“No, it hasn’t been that long I mean, I was on the battlefield” (Elena)

“You were there?” (Naofumi)

“Of course I was My parents wouldn’t stop bitching at me” (Elena)

I think her father or so was so like that

“I tried not to stand out, so perhaps you didn’t notice h” (Elena)

“Ah, I see” (Naofumi)

“For the executed for deity… she should have made Given up at some point A foolish woman” (Elena)

“Hey…” (Naofumi)

The woed in depravity said it with a level tone

I think that if she had that much power, she could live life however she wanted She could have indulged in as much luxury as she wanted

But I guess if you keep looking up, there’s no end in sight

“Well, I guess you worked hard Good job” (Elena)

“I don’t feel happy at all when I hear it from you” (Naofumi)

“I guess so… Ah, this is a pain I’ll have to set up shop in the Hero of the shi+eld’s land soon, andon about profitability Even when I just want to relax, why is life so hard?”

“That’s your fault! Just be thankful you haven’t been executed yet” (Naofumi)

She really just spits out as e as she wants

As a fores

At the entrance to the hall is a sturdyaccessories with all of his commercial spitit To clarify, the one ns a depart

There’s also the swindler, who’s beco of a millionaire He’s formed an alliance with the accessoryin the Castle Town But that’s a story for later

I’m sure my land will continue to develop

“Naofumi-cha~n!”

A drunk Sadina grabs me from behind

“Whatcha doing? If you’re bored, how about entertaining everyone with this onee-san?” (Sadina)

Having finished Atlas’s lecture, it appears Sadina started a drinking co led to another

“And so Naofu~! Everyone, let’s have a contest between this Onee-san and Naofumi-chan~” (Sadina)

“Okay, everyone! The Hero of the shi+eld, and the Hero of the Harpoon are going at it!”

“Hey! Sadina, stop!” (Naofumi)

“Ahn, I love you, Naofumi-chan~” (Sadina)

Sadina starts leaning on me

“Hey, Raphtalia-chan, hurry and do fun things with Naofumi-chan Then next is Atlas-chan’s turn, and then I’m up” (Sadina)

“Ahaha…”

Raphtalia wipes away some sweat

Just how serious is she, this woman?

“If you don’t hurry up, Ihim up” (Sadina)

“Who’s getting eaten!? Hey, don’t bring your face so close! You stink of alcohol!” (Naofumi)

“No, I am Naofumi-sama’s number one!” (Atlas)

Atlas makes a dramatic appearance

“Rafu~!”

“Ah, Master’s looks like he’s having fun Let Firo and Mel-chan in~! Now, Mel-chan, let’s–” (Firo)

“I-I don’t want…” (Melty)

Melty and Firo approach us

If you don’t want to come, then run away

The villagers, and our other coather

“P-please stop it! Naofumi-sama is with me!” (Raphtalia)

Good grief, there’s no end to this cacophony

Like that, the banquet dragged on for a while

Once I got worn out, I left and took a rest in a guest rooratulated once more

In the end, the banquet doors reuess that doesn’t really matter
