Chapter 79 Part3 (1/2)

“My certain-kill technique! Burst Rising!”

“Ooh!”

“As a as ever”

The next day after I arrived in the Holy Empire Urquhart as ic exhibition was carried out by icians of both countries

Perfor like a martial arts tournament in the coliseum which is located next to the ie number of spectators and even His Majesty, the Euest

Thetheir unique spells in this place one after the other

As it’s a chance to see offensive ic, which one can’t usually see quite often,the coone as far as ending in distress

A it as 『an extension of a sleight of hand show』 though

There are icians, but people are curious because they can watch the icians of both countries at the occasion of the Friendshi+p Visit Group’s attendance which is usually impossible

Since the ones at intere rocks and set-up targets with flashy attack spells judging by appearance

For it to not be in the forst their precious icians even if it’s just by chance

Going ahead with the ic exhibition, doushi+ ainst Kurt

The spectators raise loud cheers and applause due to its power

“From doushi+’s point of view it’s probably a skill at the level ofhim yawn”

If doushi+ really displayed his true power here, there would be large das

Thus he h pillar of fire

And that spectacle atched by me who sat in a seat for noble visitors

“If it’s that gentle even an army of 10000 man with ease” (Therese)

“I guess so” (Wendelin)

“That’s because he’s a gentleman who overturns the principles of common sense in military affairs Does that apply to you as well, Wendelin?” (Therese)

“…” (Wendelin)

That trouble, sensual beauty, Therese-sama, sat on the seat next to me

For some reason I’m liked by her And I even have the per

Elise, who is sitting in the seat opposite of her due to being er towards Therese-sama

I still haven’t told Elise about the ht to have sex with Therese-sama, but since Elise would be jealous all the more if I told her, my mind was filled with the worry whether I could pass this period safely so it a secret from Elise

“(If I make a child with Therese-saain)” (Wendelin)

Even though I should be a successfulfive beautiful wives, I can’t feel superior for some reason

What’s even more troublesome is that, different from Karla, Therese-sama is a woman who appeals to my male instincts and makes me want to sleep with her That’s what makes it so vicious

I don’t want to get close to her in order to not be teicians

Even if she’s at e about it whatsoever

Or rather, that’s her job

“It looks like His Majesty, the Emperor, is pleased as well” (Wendelin)

For the sake of the conversation not drifting towards thesex, I inquire about His Majesty, the Eic

According to the information I obtained in advance his name is Wilheln is now lasting for 38 years

“His Majesty hails froh a vote by the noble’s Congress 38 years ago” (Therese)

Because this country’s emperor is someone who is a candidate from the seven Duke households, who nominate a prince-elector, and the ih a vote by the ress

For it to have turned into such a system seems to also be a desperate measure in old times to include many different nation-states

assigning the imperial throne to the imperial family in the capital and the Duke households appears to be an act to keep the power between them as equal as possible

It can also be regarded as slightly unstable, but because Holy E since the old days, overpowered the Heldom in the south, it wasn’t that much of a problem

Later they lost the southern territories beyond the Giganto Crevice, but Heldoreement

Splitting labour towards developions and liberation of monster domains at the same time, there isn’t much of a difference in national power between the t and there’s also the risk that it will turn into a big situation if they go to war In other words, the current peace is supported by the power balance of both countries

“Since he is and elderly gentle soon as well” (Therese)

Another difference, although the crown of Heldom can’t be abdicated until death, the ee and sickness

Even if he resigns, it’s fine as the next emperor will be decided by an election That method is also convenient for the other candidates

Further years while receiving an annuity and being referred to as former emperor

Although the title possesses prestige, he will become a person who doesn’t wield any real power

“Given that there are such tattles, the other Dukes are busy with e and revisions of the trade agreements” (Therese)

Since they intend to become the next emperor, they have likely entrusted the partially play-like practical exhibition of icians to the old e on the proies and trades which yields profits

You can even call it plainly as earning achievements It’s a story I know very well

“Therese-sama, you won’t run as candidate?” (Wendelin)

“The previous e too closely related toempress” (Therese)

Since it will also be a problem if too many emperors appear from only one household, so the candidacies

“Rather than that, next is your turn, Wendelin” (Therese)

“Seems so” (Wendelin)

I’m in a seat for noble visitors since I’ic as well, I hurry toa wand

I don’t particularly need a wand, but the action of swinging a wand is necessary as it’s an exhibition

“Dear, please do your best” (Elise)

“Don’t h”

While receiving encourage as if she’s rounds

There’s a rock with the sama by doushi+’s spell, set up With the rule that it’s fine to break it by casting a spell on it, it has been decided to not inquire about the spell’s attribute and type

“(Rather than poith accuracy…)” (Wendelin)

Once I focus my mind and prepare the wand, I create a ind after several seconds and hit the rock with it

Since great poasn’t obviously visible, there was no change to the rock on a first glance

“A failure?”

“There’s no change?”

The spectators are noisy, but the spell has been already activated successfully

I leave the place after hitting the rock with a pebble I picked up fro it and the rock cruth of around one cm on each side

“Incredible…”

“If this was a ould all of the soldiers be cut into such dices…?”

Voices of awe and cheering begin to swell up from the spectators who realized the effect of my spell

“Hee, the results ofa bit” (Burkhart)

Seeing the rock which was cut into equal dices, Burkhart-san, who is scheduled to show hismark

“The next one is you, Burkhart-san” (Wendelin)

“I’ too flashy…” (Burkhart)

Next was Burkhart-san’s turn

Once he stands in front of the rock and has set up his wand, similar to me, he makes the rock freeze to the utmost limit with coldness, not ice spheres, and hits it with a small ice bullet

The rock, which was frozen down to almost absolute zero, is shattered into pieces due to the iround

The broken rock displayed a brilliance like diaround and showed a fantastic spectacle to the spectators

“Have you gotten slightly weaker?” (Therese)

“Therese-sae” (Burkhart)

“It’s because you art need” (Therese)

“You are obsessive about that Therese-sama is…” (Burkhart)

Therese-sama calls out to Burkhart-san who returned to the seats for nobility, but seeing hiicians of Holy Est themselves

Do they consider it as iician of the enemy nation, I wonder?

“Next is Katharina” (Wendelin)

“Is the lady one of your wives? She appears to be a capable ician” (Therese)

Even though she is originally atop-class abilities even in the Helht activities with me

Casting a tornado spell that easily wrapped up the rock, the rock was changed into small pieces once the tornado ceased and vanished at the spot

Since it turned into sand after being cut up to the lis due to the wind

“That doesn’t even serve as warm-up” (Katharina)

“That can’t be helped There’s no way for it to be okay to battle here” (Wendelin)

“It’s as Wendelin says If you freely use your ic in duels, it will likely cause injuries to the spectators For the tiree injuries and death shall turn into a onisms” (Therese)

“That’s true, but…” (Katharina)

Even Katharina should understand this much

However, I believe it’s just so me as Wendelin and nonchalantly monopolizes the seat next to me

“Next is Holy Empire Urquhart’s side, huh? So, hoill they do?” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san, who sensed a delicate ates the topic to the icians of Holy Eic after this

In reality itI had to do, but the current me didn’t have such mental composure

“That’s because there was the Aro” (Therese)

“Because of doushi+?” (Wendelin)

“That gentleman’s outside-the-norm mana ell-known” (Therese)

Doushi+’completely Great talents mature late

Doushi+’s o and moreover he eak at emission spells

Currently he has h mana to use a snake-emission spell but it seems he was unable to use it back then He apparently didn’t possess the ability to be added to the Friendshi+p Visit Group

“Such gentleth of monster-class 10 years later Further? It’s only natural for him to cause an uproar” (Therese)

For that reason doushi+ was the centre of attention at the previous time

“This ti in addition to hi and purification ic as well Burkhart-san has displayed his true ability as usual, too The roaster of Helicians is deep” (Therese)

As it’s a gathering of big guns, one ht feel like that, but Holy Eree of one being able to tell either

If they are even, they can’t be that different, I think

“In these 10 years quite the powerful people have appeared aood behold at them” (Therese)

As I watched thetold so by Therese-saicians on Holy Empire Urquhart’s side, too

Since there’s also the dignity of a state, they likely have secured the numbers properly

Beginning with Blatson-san, who is the Head Wizard, there are ions of intermediate level

And once we got into the second half, the venue rapped in large cheers

“It’s the four Peachu siblings!”

“The four siblings have appeared!”

“Are they celebrities?” (Wendelin)

“That is so The four Peachu siblings are the icians in today’s empire” (Therese)

Therese-sa towards my question

“They are s?” (Wendelin)

“To be exact, they are quadruplets” (Therese)

Since the talent forable to use it doesn’t necessarily mean that they can use it as well

However, since the Peachu siblings are quadruplets, they are capable of using ic as they possess the same talent

“(Because their genes are identical? It’s probably hopeless if it’s fraternal or such)” (Wendelin)

It seerounds, are identical and the four people certainly have the same faces

Black hair and black pupils, but it’s not like their faces are japanese either

It’s also not like they are exceeding in appearance that much with their western faces To put it plainly, they have common faces

Their ages appear to be around 18 They have a slender build with a height of approximately 175 cm and seem to be normal youths you can find anywhere

The four of them wore robes, but for some reason all of thereen

And, because of the conspicuous bright, striking robe colours, I want them to hold back a bit since I would have been embarrassed if it was me there

“(They look like a squadron…)” (Wendelin) (T/N: The kanji used here is usually used for hero units like Power Rangers or other such groups of cosplaying weirdos Not sure whether a proper word to express that even exists in English I sure hope not)

What I iram about hero squadrons I watched in my childhood

Though there’s one thing lacking, I think

“Each of those quadruplets has a different stout attribute in ic” (Therese)

“Really?” (Wendelin)

It seeenes, but they have differences in their own enes

Maybe thaton the cause of acquisition

“I have heard that the eldest son, Eins, is stout at fire ic” (Therese)

Once the youth, ore the red robe, swings his wand, the rockwrapped up by a blaze

“The second son, Zwei, uses the water attribute” (Therese)

Once the youth with the sas his wand, a rock is cut into pieces ater cutter

“The third son…” (Therese)

“(He’s probably named Drei, isn’t he?)” (Wendelin)

“Drei is strong at earth ic” (Therese)

These four siblings’s na from German numbers

It was unknohether Gere as many of the people’s names are German-styled

The youth, ore the yellow robe, breaks a rock by hitting it with a great nuh-speed rock bullets

“And the last is the fourth son, Vier” (Therese)

The youth, ore the green robe, cuts a rock into pieces with a wind cutter

They are indeed possessors of quite the ability

“Even our country has assembled quite the seeds” (Therese)

“The fourth’s son’s robe being green is just because it’s wind and since it overlaps with the second son’s blue if he performs the blue attribute?” (Wendelin) (T/N: Can be either blue or green)

“You are paying attention to trivial matters” (Therese)

Facing the end of the entire ic performance by the four, loud cheers and applause is raised by the spectators

They probably believe that the peace will last for a long ti the country, have remarkable abilities

Alongside our country’s doushi+ being a powerful deterrence, the asseicians, led by those four, are the powerful deterrences of Holy Empire Urquhart

“…” (Wendelin)

“Dear, what’s wrong?” (Elise)

“I don’t think those guys are acquaintances, but…” (Wendelin)

Given that the four of theaze, I ended up feeling uneasy by just that

◆◇◆◇◆

“It seedom as well”

“Looking at it according to the theory of probability, around the same number will appear in both countries if you consider the population ratio”

“Even though you are young, you say the sa as our Minister of Ho child”

◆◇◆◇◆

The banquet sponsored by His Majesty, the E that day

Only select people fro the Friendshi+p Visit Group were invited and me, doushi+ and Katharina were a part of those

Elise was invited likewise since she’s my first wife, but Erw, Ina, Luise and Wilma weren’t allowed to attend the party in the imperial palace which was restricted to invitees only

They are attending a party exclusively for invitees with low social standing held at a palace for welcouest below the imperial palace

『I believe it’s necessary to guard you though』 (Erwin)

Erw complained, but it seeuards to the party in the imperial palace

It suggests a slightly dangerous at happens to the important invitees fronity will hit rock bottom

Even Hel our country in this place, don’t attend the party due to being scared, ill end up being branded as a cowards

As it seems that there haven’t been any particular troubles in these 200 years, I told Erwin and the others to enjoy theuests

『Will there be a fated, cute girl there, I wonder?』 (Erwin)

『As for Erw, you are pretty uard, however…』 (Ina)

『I know that, but that I don’t feel like it’s necessary with you three』 (Erwin)

『Even so, it’s your job』 (Ina)

Once Ina tells Erw to properly do his job since it’s serious, it’s inevitable for Erw to heed to that

If you call it the usual scene, it surely is

『Ina, give Erith his broken heart a little chance』 (Wilma)

『Even if you think that, don’t say iiiitt~~~!』 (Erwin)

Due to Wilma’s remark which contains a bit of poison, Erw shouted with partially teary eyes

It looks like he hasn’t recovered froe caused by Karla that easily after all

Even though there were such circumstances too, we split up and participated in the parties, but at the location I received the honour of being directly addressed by His Majesty, Wilhelm the 14th

It’s a secret, but I haven’t considered it to be a special honour in my mind

For His Majesty, who is a 78 years old elder, I’m likely still a child

Being called 『an interesting child』 by His Majesty who grins friendly, we discussed gossip for a few minutes

The contents are on exterminations

Even I have gotten used to narrating those considerably well since I have been asked often recently and I was able to give a skilfull summary, I think

“Your Majesty, I’)) your pleasant chat, but…”

“It’s already time, isn’t it? Even in this place there are reet since I’m the emperor Please enjoy this country, Earl Bau to you, thus it’s fine to have her guide you” (Wilhelm)

Once the four of us see off the leaving eicians from before draw close next

They were still in those colour classifying robes, but there’s no particular probleicians

Given that Katharina was a woed into a new, clean robe and attended the party just like that

“Nice to meet you for the first time, Earl Baumeister-dono My name is Eins Simon Peachu” (Eins)

The eldest of the four brothers, Eins, ore a red robe, introduced his three younger brothers after himself

“You are very polite I’m Wendelin von Benno Baumeister”

If I remember correctly I heard that erey and apprentices as well as lower-ranking icians hite robes

Even so, those four have been allowed to wear robes with special colours

It’s probably athat powerful

“According to the talks, you have defeated dragons and made an armed forces of 10000 incapable to battle in an instant or such?” (Eins)

“It seeerated in the rumours as well” (Wendelin)

Incapacitating 10,000 soldiers was a feat accomplished by me, Burkhart-san and Katharina

Therefore I correct hi there

“It’s a nificent accoician as well” (Eins)

Eins and his other brothers praised my achievements with the same expressions

“However… If it’s around thisthe same, too”

However, suddenly the flow of the conversation changed

The four on with leisure while warping their faces a bit

“(Umm…a sense of rivalry? Jealousy?)” (Wendelin)

I don’t knohich of either, but they don’t seem to have overly nice characters

“Since our childhood we have been referred to as treasured children of the empire”

I don’t knohat kind of birthplace it was, but being born as quadruplets, all of the an advanced level of mana

Even the empire probably wanted to shelter them by all means

“Thanks to that, eren’t allowed to go on soations” (Zwei)

Even though I don’t want to particularly listen to it, the blue-robed second son, Zwei, continues his story

Since they are young icians who have talent, it was probably difficult to use thein the worst case

If the rate of icians born in the population is the saicians who are unaffiliated

“Of course, if ere allowed to do so, ould do it easily though”

“Well, I guess so”

“You admit that?”

“Yes”

Since I haven’t heard talks that the rate ofborn in both countries is different, it’s probably possible for the icians of Heldom are able to do it

Thinking like that, I honestly voiced that opinion

“(Or rather, what do these guys want to say anyway?)” (Wendelin)

“We will also make sure to not lose to you from now on, Earl Baumeister-dono”

“We will overtake you right away, too”

“Haa… Is that so…?” (Wendelin)

After that they consistently talked about the treasured since a lot’s expected of theic is

“(Is it not allowed as noble to ignore such a long and stupid talk?)” (Wendelin)

While yawning in my mind, I listened to the talk of the four brothers with a superficial smile

Even inby superiors even though their abilities were questionable, I was forced to use the skill I learned for the sake of ignoring the yapping of such people

“I think it’s obvious that ill be able to get achieve Honestly, I feel a bit sorry, but…”
