Darcia would be resurrected
This big news spread around Talosheim very quickly, and each of the nations inside the Boundary Mountain Range were inforh the Goblin communication devices
”I'm sure Darcisama will be surprised to see us when she's resurrected,” said Rita
”Everyone's already here, after all,” said Saria, looking around the underground workshop
There's a large number of people packed inside the workshop, which already nor-out for Vandalieu's close aides
The Storm of Tyranny mees of Vida's races on the Aarn had brought the important people froe
Als with Darcia when she was a spirit However, now that she was going to begin a new life, it was only natural for theain
The leaders of the Drakonid nation (the Drakonid Elders) and Rowen, a knight who represented the Drakonid nation, were arn
”We arn-sama,” said one of the Drakonid Elders ”Who knohat Tiaons would have said if ere any later I am relieved”
”This is no ti here There is only s with Darcidono onceon you, Rowen!”
”That is enough, Drakonid Elders!” said Rowen
Tia pressure on the Drakonid nation The nation's leaders were desperate because of the great influence that the resurrected Darcia would likely have
Saria and Rita and everyone else knew this, but Vandalieu was quite theher because she was nothing but a weak spirit, but those mother-con tendencies were unlikely to be cured the moment Darcia was resurrected
And in the political system of Talosheim, the nation that Vandalieu ruled, he faced no opposition as the eures who could warn hieneral-plus-prime-minister Chezare and the lieutenant Kurt, but every final decision came down to Vandalieu's will
Despite that, Vandalieu certainly placed importance on Darcia's opinions, and unlike when she was a spirit, she would always be by his side She would likely be more influential in Talosheim than a duke in a human society
However, this was the area within the Boundary Mountain Range, a region that had been isolated from the outside world for over a hundred thousand years There wasn't a single person who had coilance and fear for Darcia's political influence
”What are you saying Rowen! Darcisama is the reet her and become closer to her!” one of the Drakonid Elders said
”Indeed,” agreed another ”When it comes to occasions such as these, the first io, the effects of that will be long-lasting”
What the Drakonid Elders were concerned about was the fact that Darcia's influence would influence Vandalieu's relationshi+ps with others, especially those with members of the opposite sex
Vandalieu was currently approaching the development of his secondary sexual characteristics, and this fact ell-known throughout every nation within the Boundary Mountain Range In other words, he was soon going to be of e It would be several more years before he agements
Vida, the Goddess of life and love, was the being ruling all of the nations within the Boundary Mountain Range, and her teachings advocated for freedom in love However, there were cases where betrothals were decided by one's parents
The thought process behind this was that even if a third party were to introduce the couple to one another, they could still find happiness by beco love There was no saying which as better or worse when it caes that contained love
Thus, it was not rare forparents and superiors Thus, everyone in the nations within the Boundary Mountain Range was thinking that Darcia may do the same for Vandalieu The Four Drakonid Elders were particularly conscious of this fact, as Tiaon as one of the parents of the Drakonid race, had repriuardian deities for being late to h there were several other nations that had not yet sent anyone to Vandalieu, such as the Merfolk nation and Laainst the Four Drakonid Elders, the leaders of her nation, bringing her talks of e
The problem was that the one she would be married to was Vandalieu
”… I understand that, but there is no need for it to be me Or rather, I do not believe that it would be a fair exchange Even if I were to becootten a the others,” Rowen said
Vandalieu was already surrounded by a nuined that if she were to becootten
”Me proposal has not been decided, and there are no girls as beautiful or skilled as you,” said one of the Drakonid Elders
”It is crucial to knohen to give up,” said Rowen ”If this proposal does not happen, we could search for a candidate fro our Kiryujin and Maryujin brethren on the Dark Continent, could we not? Or we could even ask Tiamat-sama herself”
”That seems like it would lead to the birth of a Vampire-Drakonid… Ah, have some tea,” said a voice, and a pair of hands offered Rowen a cup of tea
”Thank you… Vandalieu-dono?!” Rowen exclai the teacup in surprise as she saw that it was Vandalieu hiiven her the tea ”Eh, wait, it is not that I hate you or anything like that!” she said hastily, realizing that Vandalieu had heard their conversation
”Th-that is right! We aretoo persistent,” said one of the Drakonid Elders
”No, please calm down,” said Vandalieu ”I'm aware that there are a lot of women around me, so don't worry about it There's no real need to conduct any political es So… please don't try to persuade Tia like that”
”I-I see… Vandalieu-dono, do you find Tiamat-sama unpleasant?” Rowen asked
”I don't,” Vandalieu replied
Tiae as the true Colossi Her limbs and tail were covered in scales, and there were two horns protruding from her head Her appearance was very different from that of a huhastly or hideous
In fact, he felt attraction to her calloss of her vividly-colored scales
”But I think that having dozens or a hundred children at once is a little… too high of a hurdle,” said Vandalieu
The Mountain Queen Elder Dragon Tias and even with Gods during the age of the Gods However, she was also known for giving birth to ave birth to the Kiryujin and Maryujin, she had apparently given birth to a hundred children each time At the time, it was necessary to leave behind descendants as quickly as possible, and the children of Elder Dragons developed several times faster than other races
”That is… true,” said Rowen, finding herself nodding in agreement with Vandalieu
The prosperity of one's descendants was so that would bring stability to the nation But a hundred was si birth to many children, would she not restrain herself…?” one of the Four Drakonid Elders wondered ”No, she would not,” he said, i birth to many children was a part of Tia that characteristic would be difficult
But I have heard that even Tiae numbers of children when the father is a true Colossus or an Elder Dragon Would that not be the case with Vandalieu-dono as well? the Drakonid Elder wondered, but he decided to stay silent, as there was no proof that this was the case… though he decided to later go to the Dark Continent himself to be sure
”So, as Rowen-san said, we shouldn't be hasty I mean, my lifespan is between three thousand and five thousand years, and I'll still be plenty young in a hundred years' tih Vandalieu said that political es weren't necessary, the Four Drakonid Elders still didn't feel at ease They suggested that thisno candidates other than Rowen
”Now then, I'll guide you to your seats,” said Vandalieu
”Is it really necessary for you to guide us yourself, Vandalieu-dono? You are the one ishes to be close to your mother for her resurrection, are you not?” said Rowen
”I am close to Mom for her resurrection, ready for it to happen at anyat the capsule that contained the root of life in which Darcia resided
Next to the capsule was Vandalieu, staring into it… his physical body
Bone Man, a part of Knochen, Saathered around hi fond memories
”The me here is a clone There's all kinds of preparations to be made, so I've made a lot of clones, so this is just one of the tasks that I can do,” said Vandalieu's clone
Above ground, quick preparations were currently underway for a festival to celebrate Darcia's resurrection A countless nu food, while the people werea parade
Up until now, Darcia had only tasted Vandalieu's cooking through Materialization and another spell that allowed her to share Vandalieu's senses But Vandalieu had alanted her to truly eat it for herself once she cah for everyone
”I see… can we be of help?” Rowen asked, realizing how uests here, Rowen-san,” said Vandalieu ”My physical body was unable towith ht”
Indeed, the faments and Possessed by Vandalieu's spirit for Fa around Taloshei them any attention

Recently, cannon-type De Fas to fire projectiles fro were popular for monster extermination… This method was considerably less powerful than theTelekinesis, but it also required less Mana, whichFamiliars, which were separated from Vandalieu's main body, to fire projectiles repeatedly
”I understand Then we shall observe Darcidono's resurrection froave a bow, and the spirit-foruests
In contrast to the busily-working clones, the physical Vandalieu re for the moment to come
A spherical object covered in a thin, pink membrane floated inside the fluid-filled capsule It was this object that contained Darcia's body
A feh the thin ns of movement yet If it weren't for this membrane, Darcia's state would bean essential function
”Hmm, if it were not for this membranous pouch, we could have observed her develop a little disappointed as he looked over the summarized records of his observations… which included detailed sketches
Thewhat he could see
”Could it not be possible for your spirit form to enter the o as far as to ask you to tell arn told us, didn't she? The root of life is delicate, so another spirit getting too close to it ht cause unforeseen complications,” said Vandalieu ”I don't want to let another spirit close to it, even if it's my own”
Vandalieu was curious as to what kind of state Darcia was in, but he had heeded Gufadgarn's warnings and kept to talking to the capsule froer Sense: Death
”Jyuuh… You do not knohen to give up,” Bone Man … Knochen, it seeoal that we held back then”
Knochen gave a happy groan
As they waited on standby with large, black cloths, Bone Man and Knochen recalled the first objective they were ever given when they were created by Vandalieu
Bone Man and Knochen, as a fusion of Bone Monkey, Bone Bird and the others, were the Undead that Vandalieu had created and named in his first year in this world
Their objective was to carry Vandalieu to Darcia When they were created, Darcia had already been burned at the stake and reduced to aVandalieu to the site at which she had been executed
But now, they had finally succeeded in bringing Vandalieu to a living Darcia If they possessed tear ducts, tears would likely be flowing freely fro on the past, we have carried Bocchan a long way,” said Sae that was his main body was nearby)
”Not really distance-wise, but that's true,” said Saria, as holding a towel
”When we met Bocchan and the others, we never even dreamed that ould have the for a towel as well
”Truly… I never iive aze towards his two daughters… the two Tartarus Maid Ar all of a sudden? I'ry at you,” said Saria
”It's just as Nee-san says,” said Rita ”We only beca Undead that heal e bathe in the blood of our eneht?”
The twins tried to cheer Sam up, but it seemed that this wasn't what Sah-leg leotard-shaped and bikini-shaped armor, and had bodies with appearances based on when they were alive with the Spirit Form Skill The hairbands and laces did help a little to cover their bodies, but… they were showing a lot of skin, even though it was pale Even their plentiful, feminine curves were on open display
”Bocchan, please continue to take care ofyou, for many years to come,” said Sa that his ould not forgive hi to be resurrected now, so please take care of both me and her,” said Vandalieu
”Dannsama, I do not think that is what he means,” said Bellmond, Vandalieu's steward ”… No, that is not foranywith anticipation
”I wonder when DarciMa to be resurrected!” she said
The Patchwork Zoe, as made from the combined corpses of multiple humans and monsters, and the Patchwork Hydra Zombie Yamata, whose nine heads had been severed and replaced by the upper bodies of beautiful women of different races, were nearby as well
”Ma a little confused by Pauvina's words
It wasn't Darcia who had given birth to Pauvina; thanks to Vandalieu, she had been given birth to by her own Live-Dead body from her previous life
But that didn't ht Ma at Darcia's body inside the capsule ”I'm Van's little sister, so Darcia is my Mama Mama said that I can call her that, too Didn't she, Van?”
”Yes, I remember,” said Vandalieu
The truth was that Vandalieu was more like Pauvina's parent than her older brother, but their ages were si close to a sibling relationshi+p Thus, there was nothing strange about Pauvina calling Darcia 'Mama' Darcia herself had been happy with it, and Vandalieu supported it as well
”So Rappie and Yamata, you should call her Mama as well!” said Pauvina
”… Huh? I don't re about that,” said Vandalieu, confused
Rapiéçage and Yamata's ten total faces all looked confused as well
”Ma… roaned
”Yamata… too?”
”Yeah! You tere born and reborn thanks to Van, just like me, so we're all the same!” Pauvina said cheerfully
It seeht that Darcia was Maer sisters to Vandalieu
”Ma… eYa to the word
”Does that apply to ood,” said Quinn, the queen of the Gehenna Bees
”Masrå Eisen
The two of theon It was true that both of them had been pseudo-reincarnated by Vandalieu, so they met the same conditions as Pauvina and the others, but… no er sisters
Legion was using a strange technique where they remained in their meat-sphere for them to talk at the same time
”What about us? I suppose it would be better to ask her first?” said Pluto
”Don't ask her that! There's no e could ask her soa
”I'h Should I ask her in your place? I'll tell her, 'Baba Yaga is too e in her place Please, let us call you Maa cursed
Vandalieu had created Legion using the base fore and the others
”At this rate, every Undead and pseudo-reincarnated person that His Majesty created will be Darcisan's children Not that I mind that,” said Princess Levia
