Vol 3 Chapter 78 (2/2)
Earlier, August spoke as if he orried for shi+n
As someone who is always outside the nor demons
But August was still worried about shi+n
Will soe?
“Well, at the diplouy that refused to let shi+n participate”(August)
“Oh Was it the representative of Dah have been released to the public What about him?”(Julius)
“No… Perhaps I thought he would try to sabotage the strategy Apparently ust)
“Sabotage the strategy? But, no matter how you look at it he couldn’t be able to do it?”(Thor)
“You don’t understand Dahion The representative was probably also a devout follower”(August)
“Why would you think he would sabotage because of that?”(Julius)
Julius believed a pious believer of the church wouldn’t try to mess with someone as approved by the pope
“Because he’s a devout follower Because he resisted shi+n’s participation in the strategy he s towards shi+n As a pious follower he probably believes shi+n being called the Messenger of God is blaspheust)
“That… During a world crisis?”(Julius)
“I guess it doesn’t matter to him His faith is too deeply rooted… Words are powerful, so it wouldn’t be out of the question he infects others with his fanaticisust)
August’s speculation is likely to be true, so Thor and Julius look at each other
“On the other hand, the eust)
“Then, why did you assign shi+n to Dahm’s army?”(Julius)
If there’s a possibility he would try to mess with shi+n, wouldn’t it be better to send him to some other army? Julius wondered
“Because it’s shi+n He probably wouldn’t even notice a little obstruction On the contrary, I was uneasy about hiust)
“Simply because you trust shi+n… you did”(Thor)
“Careless personality aside, his ability is unust)
August keeps talking, ignoring Thor’s waraze
“However the strategy is going well and there doesn’t seem to be any particular problems even after shi+n took care of the disaster class That’s why I said ust)
“So you did”(Thor)
“Oh, I’d like for the strategy to advance without incident like this”(August)
It’s unknohether it was because of August’s wish but the subsequent days of the strategy went by smoothly
The special disaster classes like the ones that appeared on the first day were nowhere to be found and the soldiers were able to cope with the rest
Although disaster classes scarcely showed up afterwards, the allied forces ed to deal with them The Earlshyde forces also adopted the juate the disaster classes without walking away traumatized
The great ation
Although the number of demons in the demon territory was truly extraordinary, and there were those who lost their lives, the original purpose of this strategy was to have shi+n face the devils
With the allied forces subjugating deressed smoothly
Meanwhile, a shocking report was brought to the allied forces of Kurt
It said they discovered the devils were holed up in a town halfay from the former imperial capital
Just a little painful
Apparently this chapter was revised at soer showed up where Gus went”(shi+n)
[Ooh Why is that I aust)
After the first day of the de before heading to bed
It seeer
“However, the nu Isn’t the [Tiger Hunting Prince] thetitle for hiust)
[But never title too](Julius)
“Interesting title?”(shi+n)
[Hey, Julius! Wait!](August)
[He was titled the [Thunder God] by the soldiers because of his ust)
Do all the betrayed react the sa his title ot a title too
However…
“Isn’t… [Thunder God] quite cool?”(shi+n)
[Mh I thought you’d ic King
“I think so too, I’d rather they calllike that”(Maria)
It seems Maria is also envious of Gus’ nicknaer will I be a ht’ve fucked up here It was either Valkyrie or Battle/Warrior Maiden when she got it Obviously I chose Valkyrie because Battle/Warrior Maiden sounds lah)
There there
Perhaps… It’s not that bad I don’t think [Valkyrie] has that rade](Alice)
“Oh, is that so? Alice”(shi+n)
[Yup There was just a lot of devils Because a disaster class didn’t shoe thought ouldn’t get a turn, so we volunteered to fight](Alice)
“Whoa whoa Every country needs to suppress their own demons You haven’t completely annihilated them have you?”(shi+n)
These maneuvers are planned specifically so that every country in the world contributes and Earlshyde doesn’t get all the credits
The role of national forces in that plan is to suppress the demons
The threat to the people of the world aren’t just demons
The devils reportedly created by Stroer
The true mission of all the national armies is to thin out this threat
If Alice eliminates the demons, the purpose of all national armies will be lost
I have to warn her here
[It’s Okay! Because I only killed half of them!](Alice)
“You still hunted half”(shi+n)
[So the Swedes coical Girl of Annihilation]](Yuri)
[Oh! Yuri! You didn’t have to tell theain…”(shi+n)
It’s a pitiful title…
[Yuri is cheap! To think the [Guru’s Successor] has roo like that](Alice)
[Uhuhu… [Guru’s Successor] Huhuhu](Rin)
It seeic tool is corandry and scold me…
“So? Hoas your place Tony?”
[…Well, our place was…](Tony)
When inquiring about the state of the coalition forces Tony was assigned to, he spoke aust)
Gus asked what I ondering
[Oh, no, there are no casualties in particular](Tony)
“Then, why don’t you want to say your report?”(shi+n)
[Oh… We got hit by a disaster grade as well](Tony)
“It appeared there as well The demon territory really is a monster nest”(shi+n)
[Mhust)
Tony’s articulation is bad Thatafter all?
[What appeared to us was… A de like that always shows up What about it?”(Maria)
Like Maria said, we constantly fought de so aard about this?
[Certainly, medium sized deers are coust)
When an anioes by This is called upsizing
It would seee
I’ve never seen one e de as a disaster class](Tony)
“Wh a disaster class deer!?”(Maria)
[It was as big as the school](Tony)
[I saw it too, there’s no doubt](Mark)
Mark and Olivia back hiet that big?
“Have there been deer disaster classes?”(shi+n)
[No At least I’ve never heard of any Even a big upsized deer is quite unusual Much less a disaster class…](August)
“First I heard of… So like that”
“But we encountered a disaster class wolf right? Like shi+n said, it’s unusual but it doesn’t see deal…”
A demonized wolf is also medium sized at the start
However, for so disaster class in the past
Is it because it’s a predator?
Or is it because it’s just a sht a disaster class wolf!?](Alice)
“Oh, I was about to report it now… What about it?”(shi+n)
[What about it… When a de puts hiust)
“shi+n killed it in the blink of an eye, as usual”(Maria)
[I-Is that so… Were there any probleust)
Gus is unusually worried about ood Rather, it eaker than some of the demon wolves I’ve beaten before Kinda anticliht…](August)
“What is it? Why are you so anxious?”(shi+n)
[No, I wasn’t worried about you… In any case, a disaster class wolf and a disaster class deer, the latter of which was previously unheard of, appeared…](August)
“Gus’ heartless reply aside, there’s clearly soations theust)
“Oh, I also thought that for a second after I killed the demon wolf By any chance…”(shi+n)
[Is this… Stro?]
“I wonder about that Maybe because the deht make it easier to turn into one…”(shi+n)
A demon outbreak the likes of this never happened before We have no idea what kind of irregularities it ht cause
However, Stro people into devils, so it makes sense he could do it to animals too
We shouldn’t dis
But if that’s the case…
“What about Earlshyde? Both the Magic Division and the Knight Order are there, but if Stro to them, wouldn’t they be in trouble?”(shi+n)
There are no Ultined to Earlshyde in this operation
The reason for that was given Earlshyde’s size and position, they could easily mobilize an aric division got quite skilled by practicing with Grandpa’s rated Jet Boots as soon as possible,rapidly compared to other countries
The role of the [Army] is demon suppression
Even if it’s a disaster class it was judged they could deal with theic power, so they refrained fro they wouldn’t have to fight a devil, it’s because several months have passed since the last raid… It’s expected they would lie in wait in the imperial capital, because it wouldacross the demon territory
And above all, it was a declaration that we don’t belong privately to Earlshyde
However, I can’t help but feel anxious as soon as he suggested Stro the communication line haven’t come back yet This is the devil territory and the coust)
“Worrisome… Hmm”(shi+n)
[It’s certainly worrisome, but they probably don’t need out help Our involveust)
Originally, the Earlshyde army should be able to deal with this proble countries was done to prevent Earlshyde hogging all the glory and upsetting the balance of power
Another reason ere assigned to the neighbouring countries was to prevent as e to the any proble well”(shi+n)
[…Should ait for a report?](August)
If I kneould’ve turned out like this, I would’ve given the wireless communication device to the Earlshyde arht be seen as special treat for the report from Earlshyde, some demons unexpectedly attacked the camps ere dispatched to but were quickly dealt with
After that, a soldier who received the regular report of the allied forces from the communication device returned, however his report bathed us in cold sweat
“D-demonized rhinoceros!?”(Maria)
“W-What!? What happened!?”(Sicily)
Maria sounded unusually desperate
The Earlshyde army we’re not with encountered a deht to be unable to de disaster class
Thanks to the conversation with Gus earlier, I became concerned about the Earlshyde aric Division stopped it in its tracks and the Knight Order finished it The killing bloas dealt by a Knights Academy student of all people”(Soldier)
Really… A disaster class demon seen for the first ti with their new equip method Earlshyde Army
“What was the name of the student!? Do you know the nairl student called Miranda Wallace”(Soldier)
“Miranda…”(Maria)
Isn’t Miranda that freshht’s acade the disaster class she seemed to have been so exhausted she collapsed but other than that, she’s fine In addition, her strategy was so effective, they were told to practice it immediately”(Soldier)
“I-Is that so…”(Maria)
Maria weakly sat down after she heard that
“Why does Maria care so much about Miranda?”(shi+n)
“We’re friends”(Maria)
“Oh? Really?”(shi+n)
That’s unexpected When did that happen?
“After the joint training, we strangely got along After Sicily started living with shi+n we had a lotout”(Maria)
“I-Is that so?”(shi+n)
“When did that happen…”(Sicily)
Sicily has a complicated face Her closest friend fro other friends while she didn’t know
But because she stayed at reat about it either
“The Saint’s fale reporter)
“I see… Thank you”(Sicily)
Sicily’s sisters are also a part of this strategy because they belong to the Magic Division
The soldier said that with some caution, but why? While I feel relieved, I don’t feel pleased in particular
“Well, there seee because their opponent was a disaster class… As expected of the Earlshyde are… That word shocked me
That’s… There were victims…
“Is… that so Thank you for your report Is the strategy progressing sicians things are going swily Earlshyde troops don’t have any outside assistance but they seem to have no problems”(Soldier)
“I see Thank you Well, that would be all”(shi+n)
“Yes Thank you for your hard work”(Soldier)
We part with the soldier and return to the tent
While returning to the tent, Sicily quietly folded her arrim expression
“…shi+n, I feel painful…”(Sicily)
“…Is that so”(shi+n)
“Yeah… Is it normal to feel pain for the victims?”(Sicily)
Come now…
“Even if one of us was there with the Earlshyde army there would still be victihness, his Majesty and the General decided… Since the Earlshyde army is much more capable than other countries, we should assist other countries”(Sicily)
“I know… But still…”(shi+n)
“Besides, my older sister said it herself”(Sicily)
“Sylvia did?”(shi+n)
“They went ho off to join the operation… Because it may be the last time…”(Sicily)
“Huh?”(shi+n)
That is… They went to say their goodbyes?
“My older sisters were prepared They y, but they will die protecting their country That’s what they said”(Sicily)
“…I see …Is that so?”(shi+n)
The truth is, if we had the time we could solve this proble a necessity to resolve the needs of the nation’s people or if it was due to the fact that they would run away if we surrounded the ould happen to the power balance and getting everyone involved… ere doing was still just selfish
On the other hand, all the soldiers that are participating are risking their lives
We… Made everyone risk their lives
“We… Are we cruel for letting everyone do this?”(shi+n)
“My older sister also said soht of how everyone is staking their lives on this, Sicily spoke
“Originally, she thought adults should solve their own proble they were being cowardly If they can do it themselves, why make us do it?”(Sicily)
“……”(shi+n)
“Therefore, shi+n doesn’t need to feel guilty Because everyone wants to overcome this crisis with their oer”(Sicily)
…Before I noticed I had becoant
Without us, the disaster class deated
Everyone wants to protect the peace the about that
“I have… Before I knew it i started thinking… That only we can end this crisis”(shi+n)
While I was sneering at ed e the fact that shi+n is this world’s hope Only shi+n can confront Stromm So… Please don’t put yourself down like that”(Sicily)
“Sicily…”(shi+n)
“Everyone wants to save the world So far as to sacrifice themselves… Everybody isprepared for it… So please don’t bla a little when she hugged me
Even if they’ve prepared the your loved ones
Still, they’re all fighting with their fears and their families have prepared themselves as well…
“Sorry… Thank you… I don’t knohat to say… I feel so ashamed…”(shi+n)
“That’s not true shi+n’s farandrandfather? But the families that have members on active military duty are always ready for the worst However, that’s the only difference”(Sicily)
Really Sicily has sisters serving in the ic division
Her quiet appearance was her being prepared
“I’m the same shi+n Because none of my faht so happened to Miranda”(Maria)
Maria read the air and didn’t enter the conversation until now
Really, Maria
“Sicily, you’re a like this”(Maria)
“…Although it’s easy to say you’re prepared, I’ing while she’s having a conversation with Maria
…It’s a strange sight
“Mhm… I knew everyone was ready But I’ll still do my best to have as few casualties as possible”(shi+n)
“Yeah Let’s do our best”(Sicily)
Sicily said that with a sain”(shi+n)
“I saved you? It’s my responsibility to take care of shi+n’s heart”(Sicily)
“Mhm… Thank you…”(shi+n)
“Ah…”(Sicily)
Her words were so touching, I couldn’t help but hug her tightly
“Sicily…”(shi+n)
“shi+n…”(Sicily)
“You guys… Don’t carelessly drift off into your oorld…!”(Maria)
“Hey”(SS)
Maria was super pouty
August received the same report from Earlshyde at about the same time shi+n did
“Really… They defeated a disaster class with so few casualties…”(August)
“Yes If it was any other army they would’ve taken heavy casualties”(Kurt soldier)
While the kurt soldier was speaking August’s expression reust)
“Yes! Then I’ll excuse myself”(Kurt soldier)
That said, the kurt soldier walked away
When the soldier left, August ust)
“…Are you alright? Your highness”(Thor)
“Oh I’ust looked pained for a moment, but he quickly composed hiainst a disaster class Neither ust)
His order… It’s not exactly sousto ordered himself, but as royalty he believed that doesn’t excuse hi responsibility
However, it’s also true that while he et crushed under the weight of responsibility
Seeing August like that, Thor anxiously tried to change the subject
“By the way your highness Didn’t you want to tell shi+n so earlier? You also wanted to say in the Dahm Cathedral the other day”(Thor)
“Oh… No, Because the strategy is going s in particular That’s why I didn’t say anything earlier”(August)
Earlier, August spoke as if he orried for shi+n
As someone who is always outside the nor deust was still worried about shi+n
Will so, there was a guy that refused to let shi+n participate”(August)
“Oh Was it the representative of Dah have been released to the public What about hie the strategy Apparently y? But, no matter how you look at it he couldn’t be able to do it?”(Thor)
“You don’t understand Dahion The representative was probably also a devout follower”(August)
“Why would you think he would sabotage because of that?”(Julius)
Julius believed a pious believer of the church wouldn’t try to mess with someone as approved by the pope
“Because he’s a devout follower Because he resisted shi+n’s participation in the strategy he s towards shi+n As a pious follower he probably believes shi+n being called the Messenger of God is blasphe a world crisis?”(Julius)
“I guess it doesn’t matter to him His faith is too deeply rooted… Words are powerful, so it wouldn’t be out of the question he infects others with his fanaticisust’s speculation is likely to be true, so Thor and Julius look at each other
“On the other hand, the eust)
“Then, why did you assign shi+n to Dahm’s army?”(Julius)
If there’s a possibility he would try to mess with shi+n, wouldn’t it be better to send him to some other army? Julius wondered

“Simply because you trust shi+n… you did”(Thor)
“Careless personality aside, his ability is un Thor’s war well and there doesn’t seem to be any particular problems even after shi+n took care of the disaster class That’s why I said ust)
“So you did”(Thor)
“Oh, I’d like for the strategy to advance without incident like this”(August)
