Vol 15 Epilogue (1/2)
Epilogue
After G.o.dou and the other's battle ended, the world welcomed peace once
more — Of course that was impossible.
Early fifth-century Europe was a war-torn era to begin with. The embers of
war and turmoil scattered in various places were being lit ablaze. Or
perhaps, they were already burning with great intensity.
It was clearly very dangerous if the modern Campiones continued to linger
in this era.
”They're all individually capable of destroying armies by themselves to
establish their own country.”
”Also, it's absolutely impossible for these three — G.o.dou, Sir Salvatore and
Madame Aisha — to live in seclusion together, right?”
”As expected, returning as soon as possible is imperative.”
”E-Excuse me, everyone. Saying such things so loudly seems to be a bit...”
After the battle, Ena, Erica and Liliana were all nodding at one another.
Despite raising objections cautiously, Yuri was not defending anyone in
particular.
That said, they were unable to return immediately to the modern world.
Madame Aisha's ”corridor” only opened on the night of a full moon. Also,
the night after the ”King of the End” disappeared was a crescent moon,
which meant they needed to wait half a month for the next full moon.
After learning of the situation, a certain man smiled frivolously.
”Just use the same method as when we came here. All I need to do is
make that corridor go berserk and the entrance will automatically open,
then it'll suck us all in, right?”
”Who knows if the same thing will happen as last time, so that's a definite
no!”
”Oh well, whatever. But waiting half a month is too boring.”
”This will proceed firmly no matter how boring!”
Naturally, G.o.dou immediately rejected Doni's opinion and chose the
honest route of ”waiting.”
However, there were other things that needed to be handled during this
period. Namely, returning to Colonia Agrippina to disband the alliance of
the Franks of which Doni and Madame Aisha had a.s.sumed the role of
great chieftain.
This turned out to be surprisingly difficult.
G.o.dou originally thought that the matter could be easily dealt with using
Madame Aisha's charm authority.
”1-1 already expressed my wish to retire, but pushed by everyone's zeal, I
ended up going back again!”
The main culprits included the woman who uttered this comeback
declaration as well as certain people who intended to have her resume the
great chieftain's role as ”Salvatore Doni the Second.”
While they were busy handling these matters, more and more people
began to wors.h.i.+p Kusanagi G.o.dou as one of the city's bigshots.
They all regarded G.o.dou as Colonia Agrippina's ruler in practice. For some
reason, the number of servants (female) working in G.o.dou's residence
doubled.
Influential people from neighboring areas would frequently bring beautiful
women along to offer their ”greetings” at the residence. Such was the
strange situation that evolved.
During this time, although Erica, Yuri, Liliana and Ena had some slight
disputes between the four of them, G.o.dou still managed to live his days
peacefully —
Before he knew it, the night of the full moon was already fast upon them.
The corridor was located in Uldin's forest.
That night, G.o.dou's group informed the Hunnic G.o.dslayer of their
”departure.”
With Liliana present, reaching that place did not take much time. During
the daylight hours of that day, the modern time travelers all paid Uldin's
fortress a visit. The liberal Uldin prepared a feast in advance to wait for the
group's arrival.
”Well, I can smell the scent of war spreading from various places. Right
now, I'm considering how to handle those cities downstream.”
Uldin spoke while b.u.mping cups with G.o.dou who was drinking water.
The Hunnic Devil King's base of operations in this forest was located on
the Rhine's sh.o.r.e while Augusta Raurica, Colonia Agrippina and many
other Roman colonial cities were situated downstream on the sh.o.r.es of this
river.
Uldin was literally the most powerful person in the Rhine basin's area.
”Since you are leaving, comrade, it can't be helped. Why don't I simply
take my tribe to visit various places, thereby using this opportunity to find a
man fit to be my proxy? Not a bad idea. Perhaps I might end up nurturing a
promising child.”
No way — While listening to Uldin speak, G.o.dou began to imagine.
A person nurtured in such a manner could very well end up as ”Attila, the
great king of the Huns” one day, leaving his name in history while being
protected by Devil King Uldin.
”By the way, comrade, I saw your battle against the war G.o.d who was
holding the strange blade.”
”Just as expected, huh.”
G.o.dou was told that during that battle, Uldin had also visited the vicinity of
Colonia Agrippina.
In that case, being able to scout the Franks and the ”hero who
exterminated all G.o.dslayers” was no surprise as long as he sent out those
pterosaurs. G.o.dou nodded.
”It is quite unclear how strong he is. However... It's quite strange how
easily he exited the stage in contrast to that t.i.tle.”
”Even if that guy turns into a sword, it looks like he'll still reawaken again.”
One day, the ”King of the End” was going to fight the G.o.dslayers of this
era. Not Kusanagi G.o.dou.
G.o.dou told Uldin these warnings as a parting gift.
”That's why it's possible that you'll meet that guy in the future.”
”Got it. When the time comes, I will be very careful. When we saw that war
G.o.d together, Ruska also spoke a strange oracle.”
Uldin's wife, Ruska, was a very powerful user of spirit vision. Just like
Yuri's predictions, her warnings could not be ignored.
”This is what Ruska said. That war G.o.d will further increase in power
during his incessant wandering. A hero who persists in the journey of Devil
King extermination.”
A journey undertaken to defeat all Devil Kings, increasing in power
throughout his wandering days, finally completing his mission.
This was almost like a role playing game, G.o.dou thought. Then thinking
