Episode 432 Return of the Lion (3)
The procedure for the triumphal ceremony planned by the Marquis was simple.
First of all, the procession started from the dinsion plaza of Ravigion, where we returned, and headed for Karnon, the ecliptic, passing through the comrcial city of Comlby.
Baba bam baba bam-!
A military band in uniform puts out a lively performance.
coo-! coo-! coo-!
The wagon with a drum runs slowly, making a loud sound all the ti.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”
People’s blessings and shouts.
And in the middle of the avenue full of pollen they sprinkled.
“The parade of heroes…!”
While wearing the sa equipnt as the hero of the reverse who could not use it in real battle.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
We moved on and on and on.
The faces of the people watching us were all bright.
“You broke the eye of the sky? You made a very big ball.”
“It will be much more favorable to the royal family in the future.”
“Because it was the most difficult thing.”
There were also explorers who clapped their hands.
“What is Dad’s perforated eye?”
“Well, I’m not sure… but it seems to be a very important item.”
“I want to be like them soday!”
“Then you can do anything.”
There was a family who ca out with their young son on their neck simply because there was a festival.
“Akuraba! There is that Aqurava!”
“I thought I was retired, but I never thought I’d hear from a place like this again.”
“It’s land Kaislan!”
“Ohhh! That’s after the blood spirit!”
There were also those who got into the crowd just to get a look at the face of a celebrity.
And…
“Thanks to you guys… my son will be able to sleep now! Really really… thank you…!”
Did you lose your family to Noark?
There was also a woman who rushed to the front of the carriage and grabbed my hand with tears in her eyes.
But do they really know?
In the original triumph the Marquis planned, only empty coffins with our nas written on them would have been carried on the carriage.
Beep- Beep- I
wonder if there were too many people and I had a panic attack.
I hear my tinnitus and it becos increasingly difficult to force myself to smile.
It was a ti when such a ti continued.
“Mister……”
Erwen next to crossed my hand.
Kaislan, who was riding in the cart in front of , turned around and was looking at with worried eyes.
Do you think soone will have an accident?
“Wow, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
the improvent procession that was running for a long ti passed by Raviion and arrived in Comlby.
It was a little different from Ravigion.
The number of explorers has also increased significantly, and the attire of people with common occupations is much more formal than the average Rabighion.
Well, at least it’s not comparable to the emperor.
Dripping Dripping.
Either way, the wheels of the wagon roll.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Arms stretched out to the cheers of nurous crowds.
This situation where you can’t rejoice even while looking at them is so cramped.
If it hadn’t been for this expedition.
So if all the mbers could co back alive.
They could have seen the sa sight.
If that was the case, I would have been able to make a sound with a happy heart.
coo-!
Heavy and
cooing!
it’s heavy again
Dripping Dripping.
The carriage, which continued to roll its wheels without stopping, eventually passed Comlby and entered the imperial capital, and rode straight to the palace on a straight road. The gates of the royal palace, which were normally closed sternly, were wide open.
“Heroes arrive!”
The ranks of knights seated at the wide open castle gates.
With a military band on top of the castle wall, the performance that has reached its climax is captured turbulently.
And…
“Sohow, I ca here again.”
The carriage, which seed to roll endlessly, stopped.
It was in front of the ‘Glory Palace’ where my title was conferred.
“Greeting the heroes!”
Soon, the gate of the palace opened and we got off the carriage and entered the palace.
The ranks were a little different from the parade.
Previously, I was in the central carriage, but this ti I am in the front.
“Waaaaaaaaa!”
The shouts that erupted upon entering the palace were a little quieter than those heard on the street.
Well, most of the people here are aristocrats or high-ranking officials of the guilds or rchants.
“What are you doing? Don’t go quickly.”
Kaislan stabbed in the back as I stopped at the entrance and looked around blankly.
tsk.
trudge trudge.
I walked out on a red carpet that stretched all the way to the empty throne.
Still, I constantly looked around.
Crowds screaming, whistling, curious eyes and even pulling out binoculars.
So it was easy to spot even in a crowd of thousands.
Took.
In this place where everyone is blessed.
Because only they were spending ti mourning, being stuck like uninvited guests among those who laughed.
‘Yes, it was over there.’
“Wait a minute… Where are you going!”
Ignoring Kaislan’s restraint, I turned and headed toward the crowd.
But now, did you notice where I was heading?
“…damn I don’t even know anymore.”
Kaislan didn’t stop anymore.
trudge trudge.
Our procession was so disoriented.
The military band, which had been following us around us, turned around in a flustered but unobtrusive manner in a professional manner.
And…….
Took.
We finally stand in front.
“…….”
Those who were silently wiping away tears looked at with a little embarrassed face.
The bereaved families of the mbers I asked the Marquis to enter the Palace of Glory.
Baba bam baba bam-!
No, it’s annoying from before.
Can you turn the sound off now?
There were complaints, but the military band didn’t seem to have the notice or authority to do so, so I personally went and took the instrunts and threw them on the floor.
Kkagang-!
As a result, the performance stopped all at once and the silence ca.
Only then did the crowd stop shouting, and only the sobbing sounds of the bereaved families standing in front of could clearly be heard.
And…….
Took.
I got down on one knee in front of them.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t save and bring back soone who must have been precious to you.”
Soon, I lowered my head in that state, and the crew mbers who followed followed the sa motion.
It was a ceremony that should have been held in front of the empty throne later, but I don’t know what to do with that.
Anyway, the king won’t even show his nose this ti.
“Thank you…….”
I didn’t dare to make eye contact, and while I was keeping my head down, I felt a cautious hand on my head.
“He… what end did Ashed et?”
Yes, she was Ashed’s wife.
“He was… like a great wizard in a fairy tale. He wasn’t afraid at all even in the face of death, and it was all because of him that we were able to co back alive.”
After hearing my words, which might sound formal, she didn’t say anything for a while.
just silently weeping
“Is that so… is that so…”
Now I see that he was a liar too.
He said that his wife was a strong person…
“I am… I am… I am… I am pitiful… How…….”
“…….”
“Haaaaaaaagh!”
The woman who had put her hand on top of my head collapses to the floor, vomiting sadness.
And as if the dam had broken.
“Mae McKelley Raiders. What happened to him? I’ve never heard of him. All I can say is that he’s dead, so join us…” “…Bentis Gerrod! That’s my father
! But I didn’t even know I was going on such a dangerous mission!”
“Miss Carla! Tell ! Rick… why couldn’t Rick be here! Why did you co back alive!”
Those who were sitting at the table rushed at us and vomited questions, and we answered their made-up conclusions like sinners.
And looking at us like that.
“What? Is this part of the event?”
“The Iya royal family prepared properly.”
“I’ve never seen such an impressive triumph!”
“No, no matter how you look at it, it just seems like a ss… What’s fun?”
The crowd watches with rather curious eyes.
How long did the ti go by five minutes before that shit?
“…I can’t delay any longer.”
Soon, the knights instructed by the Marquis ca and cleaned up the situation, and the improvent ceremony resud again.
We, who had deviated from the route for a while, stepped on the red carpet again and headed for the empty throne.
The Marquis stood in front of him.
‘Now you’re revealing yourself. Until now, he was only hiding inside the crystal ball.’
After taking one look at him, I got down on one knee and bowed my head.
Unlike the preceding ceremony, it did not an respect.
I just thought it wouldn’t be easy to hold back my emotions if we were making eye contact.
“Heroes have co through a rough road!”
A marquise who would say the set lines regardless of whether or not I did sothing unexpected.
Soon, our itinerary was organized in the mouth of the Marquis.
Thirty heroes who were given a noble mission finally completed their mission and returned alive after passing through many trials.
It was unnecessarily long because of the nurous complints, but that was the story in summary.
It was just a story we made up, and it wasn’t the truth.
Even the story of the rescue team not coming was completely omitted due to negotiations with the Marquis.
But…….
“Even the cold of the polar regions could not cool your fever.
The crowd clapped as the Marquis spoke of our achievents and praised them.
“Keuheum keuhum… First of all, I would like to first talk about what sacrifice is.”
After the Marquis resigned, it was the Archbishop of Tovera who appeared. The high-ranking priest, who was suspected of hair loss, looked at us and offered words of consolation.
Beep-.
Next was a duke.
Beep Beep-
Next is the Explorers Guild.
The next one and the one after that…….
Beep-.
They, who were supposed to share the results of this expedition, appear in front of the crowd one by one and insert their spoons.
Wow-
I thought about it, but this is really not easy.
Fortunately, the ti for the event was shortened because of my sudden action in front of .
Finally, the improvent ceremony entered the climax.
“Let the royal light be upon you.”
The performance resus with the words of the Marquis.
For a school event, the ti is like saluting the national flag.
‘This was probably three minutes.’
After counting down exactly two minutes, I opened my mouth.
It was so loud that only the Marquis could hear it from about 3 ters away.
“There Marquis.”
When I spoke to him, the Marquis looked at like a madman.
Well, I wondered if it was sane for the main character of the event to do sothing else at the most important timing.
And that’s where all the nobles gathered.
“I’ve been thinking about it. How will I get my na back?”
Did he decide that if I didn’t answer, I might ruin the event? The Marquis answered hastily, keeping her eyes fixed on the empty throne.
“As I said then, it will take two more months.”
“Two months…….”
“Isn’t that a promise?”
“It did.”
I smiled and continued.
“But now that I think about it, it seems too long. I wish it was a little earlier.”
The Marquis did not answer my question.
It was because the performance was over and it was ti to resu the event again.
“…….”
The Marquis gave a glance as if to urge on, and then continued to praise the royal family again.
No matter how urgent it is, you should have answered.
There’s nothing you can do about it
Barbarians don’t understand unless you speak loudly?
“May the light of the royal family be upon you!”
The Marquis, who had been giving a long speech about how great and rciful the royal family was, shouted at us.
It was the last event of the improvent ceremony that the Marquis inford.
“Now, let’s say Lichen Shuitz, the leader of the expedition!”
A kind of personnel report.
Now, as soon as we make this official report, our long expedition officially cos to an end.
That’s why…….
「The character casts [Giant].」
「The physique grows in proportion to muscle strength.」
I use [Transcendence] to grow my body to the limit.
That’s not what you need to know.
Thousands of eyes are drawn to as I look at my rapidly growing body.
“How dare you use your superpowers in the palace!”
“Where is this place! An insult to the royal family!”
There were also people who were angry with for using my skills.
and on the other hand.
“…is it gigantic?”
It is Bjorn Yandel’s signature skill.
“Ooh, is it a coincidence?”
“No, I think they look alike for a second…”
“But he’s not dead.”
“Above all, it’s an evil spirit…”
The crowd who recognized this vomited their doubts.
And the Marquis?
“……!”
As soon as I beca gigantic, I fell backwards.
What did you think I would do an assassination here?
Swoop.
I take my eyes off the Marquis and stare at the empty throne.
And…
“I tell the truth in front of the one and only monarch.”
said calmly.
The gaze was forward, but loud enough for anyone in the hall to hear.
one person at a ti.
Engraving those monts that I couldn’t convey to the bereaved family alone in my heart.
“Pike Neldine.”
He was accused of being a traitor and executed at Ice Rock.
At the ti, I thought it was the best, but now I regret it a little. If we had hoped for the failure of the expedition, it might have been our ally.
“Philip Aintropy.”
He was a navigator belonging to the Kaislan team.
He was killed in a surprise battle while waiting for rescuers in Deadwood.
My head was crushed.
We didn’t get to exchange a few words, but we heard from Kaislan later.
A filial son who took care of his elderly parents without getting married?
“Might Million.”
While escaping from Deadwood, he was hit by [Spike] and died instantly.
A death that didn’t even exist.
Maybe I’ll have to wonder for the rest of my life.
Couldn’t it be avoided? Or did he get hit on purpose even though he could have avoided it?
“Fiona Amos.”
While chanting a scalpel teleport with other wizards, he was blinded by an attack.
“Niaro Campbell.”
He died while stepping forward to help an injured warrior.
“Milburn Naria.”
Our always polite troll summoner.
He protected everyone, but he chose to face death alone.
Please wake up in a house full of coffee fragrance.
“Matt Hybridham.”
It was a paladin, a tank position.
But I took off all my equipnt. He forcibly drilled the road in that state and lost his life with the top of the glacier’s eye in front of him.
“Passable Eric Coulson.”
A friend and subordinate who spent a long ti in the sa unit as Kaislan. Kaislan comforted even as I shed tears over his death.
because I was
That’s why I didn’t give up until the end.
that his death was significant.
‘That’s… that’s the burden I’ll have to carry from now on.’
keep talking
“Rick Jugersta.”
After reorganization, he died while fighting the Noarks.
The cause of death was the [Thorn at the End of the Earth] that killed Might Million.
“Bentis Gerrod.”
When the Rose Knights attacked from behind, he gave them ti to retreat alone.
He was a nobleman who used to talk about romance as a habit.
Since a supernatural magician did what only warriors would do, can romance be certain?
“Roita Magander.”
While helping on the cliff, he was killed in an attack by the Rose Knights.
He was a very strict priest.
“McKellie Raiders.”
He was a wizard belonging to the Aqurava team.
I couldn’t wake up after [Soul Extraction].
“To Roan Velia.”
A pleasant man whose motto is to live long and thin in the middle wherever he goes.
He was killed in a surprise attack by the Rose Knights who took advantage of the darkness.
“June.”
A noble paladin who died standing.
He was a great man until the end, to the point that even his enemies realized his death belatedly.
“Tsoon Iribon.”
He was an archer belonging to Team 5.
Sven Farab’s line of deterrence was breached and his upper and lower body was torn apart by the monster summoned by the priest of Karui.
He said that he asked the priest before he died in that state.
Would you like to sing a hymn of hope?
Deafened by the penalty,
“Putta Recapburn.”
This is the guy who lived his life as a fixer for the Kealunus family.
A versatile japkae that serves as both a guide and a lee player.
His fighting skills were just that.
But in the end, he killed two Rose Knights in a row…
I couldn’t believe it after hearing that.
If I could have taken a video, it wouldn’t have been enough to play it at the funeral. Duke, the solver you abandoned was such an amazing bastard.
“…What power!”
The knights approaching before I knew it and pulled my arm.
But was it really strange?
“stop.”
The Marquis bit the knights.
Why are you doing what you like?
“Peritone Eriabos Benjamin Orman.”
These two used the sacrificial spell, the special move of the priests, to defeat the rampaging evil spirit’s summons.
If it weren’t for these two, they’d probably all be dead.
“Lead Ashed.”
It is said that he used awakening magic like Dwalki.
Wasn’t it not enough to deal great damage to the evil god’s summons and kill three of the Rose Knights?
The day before the closure, Marone cried and blew and told .
Originally, he was going to do it, but Ashed shook his head and stopped him.
“Gold Aldidi.”
Said that if it were , I could take care of the back work, and ran through the wires, devoting my life.
It’s not that I didn’t want to live because of that inspiration.
‘Yes, a lot have died.’
As I recite each of their nas again, I can feel the weight of them.
Soon I spoke calmly.
For now, it’s the mont when we’re giving the final report.
“Below 20 dead.”
A whopping twenty.
They took on this dangerous mission with their own dreams or goals.
they are dead
in the cold snow.
So miserable and so sad.
longing for sothing
Of course, not all of them were nice guys.
There was a guy who embezzled the public money of the store he belonged to, and Jun even tortured innocent people. Puta Rickovern must have done all sorts of bad things while working as a duke’s fixer.
There must be soone sowhere who will say that he died well.
but.
One thing is clear.
‘…No one deserves to die like that.’
We survived because of them.
That’s why…….
“Lilith Marone Versile Gowland Jas Carla land Kaislan…….”
I should say it clearly.
even to survive.
“Sven Farab Lavienia Strowus Emily Lanes Titana Acuraba Erwen Fornaci di Tercia…”
I looked up briefly to look at the Marquis before saying my na one last ti.
He was looking at with a business smile.
They seed to have judged that there would be no point in trying to stop in the yard where I even wrote [Giant].
Soon after, the Marquis looked at and murmured in a small voice.
“Tsk, if we had been patient a little longer, we would have liked each other.”
yes it would have been for you
But if I don’t get my na back soon, I think I’ll be too helpless.
Let’s raise the plate a little more.
So in that sense…
“The proud baronet of the royal family.”
I proudly shouted in front of thousands of nobles.
“I, Yandel’s son Bjorn, represent the expedition and report that I have returned to life after completing all missions!”
that I’m back
