Vol 6 Chapter 92 (2/2)
“After that, I protected Lyle-sa he had been driven out of the Walt House, I rushed to his side at once… I am aware that Lyle does not desire a harem I am also aware of his intentions to flee from Bahnseim”
In that case, then why…
Miranda was about to say that, before novey to everyone
“I offerCeles-sama… then that is Lyle-sama That is what I believed”
Meaning Novem…
“That’s why, for the possibility that Lyle-sa woender, males are too easily charmed by her”
… They were all ainst Celes someday
Hearing that, Aria left the room
Clara followed her out
Miranda also took Shannon along to leave
And Novem merely watched the affair in silence
“We’re leaving, Shannon”
“Eh? But…”
Shannon was looking at Lyle, but Miranda forcefully dragged her out
After leaving the rooht pink hair hastily try to conceal herself, but she ignored her…

When I opened my eyes, I ithin the Jewel
“… Is it alright that I assume the fact that I’m here means that I’m alive?”
Around, I saw the forms of my ancestors in their seats, and I was about to ask and confirm the situation I was in, but…
『Lyle』
The Third looked at me with a serious expression
And unlike usual, it was the very epitome of severity
I responded
“Yes?”
『I’ll bet you’ve much to ask, and we’d like to answer you as well But for now, can you let us say our conclusion?』
So did they discuss and resolve this beforehand? I decided to listen to what their opinion on the matter was
The Third declared
『We’ll be having you leave Bahnsaiet involved with Celes anymore The Walt House either』
Those words made me s my breath
The Fourth, Sixth and Seventh had said they wished of me to succeed the territory
The Third and Fifth that it was up to me
And now all five of the me to simply run, and that the land was irrelevant
The Fourth continued
『It’s best for it to be as far as possible Maybe crossing the sea will be nice Just live in peace hoever has the will to tag along It’s fine, if you want to claim some land no one’s set foot in before, and beco is the Third’s specialty, and I can teach you how to spend money productively』
The Fifth
『With all the time saved on trial and error, I estihold in ten to twenty years Well, it does depend on the location, but you can just avoid the disadvantageous points』
The Sixth also nodded
『In a distand foreign land, the Walt House shall rise once 』
The Seventh
『You’ll have to work to the objective and ways of that country as well, but it’s in no ways iet soanize a reputable overnment there, can’t you? Use our Skills, and you’ll be faeneration alone is no dream!』
With the Seventh’s encouraging s rowdy over what my future held
The Third
『If you clear five labyrinths, you’re considered first rate as an adventurer, right? If you do ten, then I’m sure some stable and well off country will offer you land somewhere』
The Fourth was…
『But don’t you think a tense country sound better? They’ll be in need of soht, so Lyle will definitely be able to becoood terms』
The Fifth
『But I doubt he’d want to be in war all the tianization in domestic affairs? If it’s to a certain extent, he can start with giving some advice』
The Sixth
『But it’s important to be a native in those sorts of areas, so a country with some extent of war is…』
The Seventh
『I wonder if there’s a moderate country out there where our powers can contribute to victory If there’s a place short on hands, you can get yourself depended on by the top in no time Give some moderate contributions, and do perform soathered here, it’s more than possible』
But in front of such a ized
“I’m sorry… I cannot do that”
And it all went quiet The harmonious atmosphere disappeared without a trace, and they all watched me with serious expressions
The Third opened his mouth
『What do you ainst Celes, right?』
“I will fight I will fight Celes”
I looked straight at him
But the ancestors seemed opposed
『Lyle, you were driven out of the Walt House At this point, you could even call that your fortune And fro to be the Walt House anymore The country… Bahnseim itself will become your enemy』
The Fourth corrected the positioning of his glasses with his index finger They caught the light as he explained the present situation
『Even if you have more Skills to use thanon a national level here Novem, Aria, Miranda, Shannon, Clara, Monica… you think that’s enough to go against this country? Individuals and the few don’t topple nations』
I shook my head
“Yes, I cannot win I’d like to believe I understand that”
The Fifth spoke
『Lyle, then you can’t call that fighting It’s just plain suicide Because Celes spoke ill of what you hold dear, you have to get revenge? I’ll be blunt here, your choice is h at it At the choice of an incorrigible fool!』
But even so, I shook my head
“And even then, I’ll fight Celes I get it That if it goes on like this, she’ll never be stopped That thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands will die”
The Sixth corrected my opinion
『Wrong You’re looking in the ten o that far And Celes has enough time That much is to be expected』
Hearing that, I raised my face
The ceiling of the Jeas so I had never seen before
The ceiling was of the sae and round lapis stone was ih, and around it, twenty three sed
That was likely the number of Skills
The pattern with only tas likely mine
“I do have the nized by my parents But more than that… if I’m to leave her like this, then countless lives will be played to her whim…”
The Seventh lay down my opinion with a levelheadedness he didn’t usually direct
『Don’tthe scale, and even if Celes didn’t do anything, ill break out I’ on son lands Whether Celes is the one to cause thees is only the scale』
The Fourth was looking at me fed-up
『Idealisot to preach theotten able to protect the precious people around you Using Skills, you’re only a little more proficient than the masses Can a man protected by Novem-chan and the rest protect anyone else?』
I took in all their words But I could only think that I had to do so about Celes myself
I was hts of a child unable to understand the cruelty of realty
And even so…
“If I’reatest of evils for all history to come”
The Third scoffed
『So what? Splendid Do you hear any of us telling you to stop Celes? To be blunt here, as long as you survive, Lyle, the blood will carry on That’s enough for me』
“All that you’ve aht!”
The Fourth disinterestedly…
『You’re too caught up on the past Isn’t it fine? Just start it up froain Do you think our Founder ever mulled over those details? Present over past Even over the future, you only have the present to live in』
“So just abandon it all? Throay all the sinless people to be killed by Celes, and find happiness for h for that!”
The Fifth
『What are you so high and hty about? Just who out there told you to hold responsibility for it? Responsibility is so the current Walt House’s Head and the King of Bahnseiht to bear Do you know of the word ‘pretentious’?』
“You ancestors are the ones who toldcourse at this point in time?”
The Sixth glared at me
『That’s right That thing is too dangerous It’s the right choice, isn’t it? That you won’t win is sole person present has determined』
“Just what do youto stop Celes so to attempt!?”
As I screamed out, the Seventh spoke
『No, you’re right You’re right enough to make me sick Then just do what you want Frohtest of advice or assistance We’re not nice enough folks to payoff to his death』
The heads of history lived their lives as feudal lords The various members used various ways to protect and advance the territory
I should knoell enough that the world isn’t one you can live through on ideals
“… I’norant to the ways of the world”
The Third nodded
『That’s right On top of that, an idiot』
“I couldn’t win against Celes”
『I’ whether there’s anyone out there who can win against here, you know』
“If Noveotten this far”
『And even that Noveht? Can you continue to believe in her as you have? It’s possible she even has connections with that sister of yours No, even as we speak, sheto Celes on your present state』
“… Shut up”
『What was that? You want to say so to us?』
The low and threatening voice he used was the sa
I felt an unpleasant sweat creep along my spine, but…
【Don’t lose】
【Do your best】
… I remembered the First’s and Second’s words
(So what about Skills? So what if I’m weak? I know all of that! But if I don’t stand up here, a in Celes’ shadow? After being recognized by thoseme to live such a life… don’t screith me!)
“… Don’t screith me”
『Ah?』
The Third and the surrounding Ancestors were sending stares vicious enough to make me tremble
They’d lived through e than me, the determination of these men of valor
Fifteen years… I was going to turn sixteen soon A kid likebut an oblivious brat from their point of view
I know
I know, but
“I told you not to screith me! As if I care! No assistance? No advice? No Skill either? Go do what you want! The First’s and Second’s Skills are already e Skill 【Connection】 manifested as well! No help? And so what! I decided it, and I’ to carry it out! So just watch from the Jewel, I’ll definitely pull it off… whether you all oppose, or reject, I’ve already decided I will fight Celes!”
Hearing my words, the Third scratched his head
The Fourth re off the lenses
The Fifth looked at the ceiling with his hand on his brow
The Sixth let out a deep sigh
The Seventh had his fingers over the area around his eyes
As a representative of them all, the Third stood and clapped his hands
『You pass Of course, all actions henceforth are your responsibility alone But fret not; we’re here to help you along We’ll offer more assistance than before』
“… What do you mean”
Putting his glasses back on, the Fourth quietly explained
『Don’t look so mad It was just a little bit of a test And you see, it’s not as if we don’t have our dissatisfactions I myself have never experienced a war of countries What’s more, Bahnseim is quite a superpower』
The Third looked at me and smiled
『You’re entering a field none of us have any experience in The ene frodom of Bahnseim… now look in the other corner Lyle, a teen with a little bit of money, and some comrades who don’t even make ten If you want to start here, then your 』
The Fifth spoke
『We can’t spend that e worries just have to keep popping up one after another But so be it You’re a man of the Walt House after all』
The Sixth laughed
『That’s right! Lyle, you’ll get to experience a sort of battle none of your forefathers have gone through before It’ll be fun! The ene up to the hell!』
The Seventh’s eyes were just a little bit teary
『I’ll lend youCeles, then I’ht to anyone else By the Walt House’s… no, your hand, put a stop to Celes』
While I sat in a daze, the ancestors stood from their seats
Looking at me, the Third held out his arms wide
『Now froins Not of the Walt House, or of us, the time has come to start your own story』
