While the Litel Kingdom was in a state of mourning, the Lilliput Kingdom was in a festive mood.
At first, when they had pushed for war against the powerful Litel Kingdom, the people and ministers’ sentints had plumted, but now—
After dominating the giant, leading the army herself, and achieving victory in a battle where defeat seed certain, her reputation had soared to new heights.
"Long live Queen Lim Ga-eul!!!"
"No, I’m not that great······."
"Long live Queen Lim Ga-eul!!!"
"Hehe······."
"Long live Queen Lim Ga-eul!!!"
"Hehehehehe······."
Endless praises were sung for Queen Lim Ga-eul.
She had forgotten all about maintaining a dignified image and was now scratching her cheek, giggling foolishly.
"Ehehe······."
Just then, as she was acting silly, scratching her head—
"Your Majesty, now is the ti to claim your reward for the war."
One of her ministers, an old woman with a stern look, offered her advice in a serious tone.
"······Reward?"
"Yes, in a typical war, the winning country demands compensation from the losing country. Moreover, we overca a five-fold difference in power and won, so the Litel Kingdom will have no choice but to accept whatever we demand."
At her minister’s advice, Queen Lim Ga-eul wiped the smile off her face and scratched her cheek.
’Hmm, what should I ask for······?’
Honestly, Queen Lim Ga-eul didn’t know much about running a kingdom.
If she had to think of sothing, then—
’I could just ask for Yuha junior.’
That was all she could think of.
"What do you think?"
Fortunately, there were plenty of ministers in the Lilliput Kingdom who could think for her.
"The Litel Kingdom is fundantally a large kingdom, so there’s a lot we can get from them."
"We could demand that they provide food for our guardian giant. The Litel Kingdom must have plenty of horses they raise."
"Our food supply is lacking."
"But food has a short shelf life, so it’s better to demand it as a tribute."
"Most importantly, we need land! We should demand land! With land, we can collect tributes and food from them! It’s a profitable deal!"
The ministers, who had been waiting for her to ask, began to offer their opinions one after another, a stark contrast to when they had no idea what to do and simply begged for rcy.
’Hmm, I don’t really understand all this, so I might as well just go see the giant······.’
As she was half-heartedly listening to the boring conversation, about to leave—
"Your Majestyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!"
A knight in full armor burst into the court, out of breath.
"You! What is this reckless behavior! Do you know where you are!"
A minister reprimanded the knight.
"I, I’m so, sorry—"
"It’s fine."
The knight, who was about to bow his head in apology, was stopped by Queen Lim Ga-eul, who extended her hand.
"You must have co here in a hurry because sothing important happened. So, what is it?"
"It, it’s······. From the Litel Kingdom······."
"The Litel Kingdom?"
"Yes, yes. Two, two people have co!"
When they heard it was the Litel Kingdom, the ministers tensed up, but when they heard it was just two people, they relaxed.
"······Two people, so they’re envoys?"1
"Hehe, it seems the Litel Kingdom still has so sense."
"Of course, it’s only natural for the losing country to send envoys."
But the knight was still trembling.
"It, it’s······. The Litel Kingdom’s Minister of Magic and, and a soldier have co! Jin Yuha and Ichika have co to see the queen, they said!"
"!"
At that, everyone widened their eyes.
They knew of the Minister of Magic of the Litel Kingdom, who was said to be as powerful as their queen, able to fight a hundred n alone.
"Your Majesty, it’s dangerous! Don’t et them!"
"It must be an evil trick!"
"Disarm them and prepare our soldiers—"
The ministers panicked, but—
Queen Lim Ga-eul, upon hearing Jin Yuha and Ichika’s nas, wore a brilliant smile.
"They’re finally here!!!"
"······What?"
"······?"
The ministers looked at Queen Lim Ga-eul with confused expressions, wondering what she was talking about.
"Th, they’re my, my spies!! Spies! So, you, take them to the secret room right now!"
Queen Lim Ga-eul, ignoring the ministers’ suspicious gazes, waved her hand, repeating the excuse she had used with the giant.
Mumble
Muble
Queen Lim Ga-eul left the court, and the remaining ministers began to discuss the situation seriously.
"······We, our queen has spies in the Litel Kingdom?"
"If I heard correctly, didn’t they just ntion the Minister of Magic?"
"To use the Minister of Magic as a spy······?"
"Our queen is truly fearso······."
Unbeknownst to her, the ministers’ reverence for Queen Lim Ga-eul was deepening.
.
.
.
For so reason, the knight kept glancing at them, and Jin Yuha and Ichika were led to the secret room.
And soon after—
Bureak─
The door opened.
"Juniooooooor!"
Queen Lim Ga-eul, with a smile on her face, ran towards Jin Yuha.
’Since Yuha junior hugged first last ti, it’s fine for to hug him first this ti, right?’
With that thought, Queen Lim Ga-eul ran towards him, but—
Suddenly.
She hugged the black shadow that Ichika had summoned.
’What the hell are you doing?’
Queen Lim Ga-eul, who had hugged the shadow instead of Jin Yuha, narrowed her eyes and glared at Ichika.
"Now is not the ti to be happy."
Ichika turned her head away, looking annoyed, and Jin Yuha nodded seriously, agreeing with her.
"Yes, Senior. We need to prepare for war right away."
"······What? War? Didn’t we just finish a war!?"
Queen Lim Ga-eul exclaid in surprise.
How could there be another war when the last one had just ended!
"Because of your and Ichika’s achievents in this war······. We’ve reached the final Chapter."
"······What?"
"So, they’ll probably summon the demon soon and attack us for the final battle. That’s why we’re here, on this side, to fight the demon."
"······Crazy. Ah, wait, this is too fast, I can’t keep up. Junior, can you explain a little more?"
.
.
.
Queen Lim Ga-eul, feeling dizzy from Jin Yuha’s explanation, rubbed her forehead.
"So, so······. This ti, the henchn tried to possess the giant with the demon······. But it completely failed, right?"
"Yes, thanks to you strengthening the giant, Senior, they didn’t have a chance to curse him. And because I caught all the demon’s henchn, their options disappeared."
"Okay, but how can you be sure that they’ll summon the demon by sacrificing the entire Litel Kingdom?"
"Ichika investigated while we were at war, and we were able to figure it out quickly."
Jin Yuha patted Ichika’s shoulder, and Ichika puffed out her chest proudly.
After hearing everything, Queen Lim Ga-eul could only let out a disheartened sigh.
"······What is this."
"So, Senior, can you let et the giant separately?"
·····It was all too sudden, and she still couldn’t quite grasp the situation, but—
Queen Lim Ga-eul nodded.
"······Ugh, ugh. Okay, follow ."
.
.
.
Thanks to Queen Lim Ga-eul’s arrangent, I was able to et the giant again just a few days after our last encounter.
This ti, he wasn’t the battle-crazed giant, but one who was leisurely spending his ti in the field.
"!"
The giant, upon seeing , widened his eyes and roared like thunder.
"You! You’re the warrior who defeated last ti! Huh, could it be! Did you co here to finish the fight we left unfinished last ti!"
Puck!!
Then, Queen Lim Ga-eul, covering her ears with both hands, kicked the giant and shouted, "Shut up! Speak quietly! And I already told you, he’s on our side! Have you forgotten already!?"
The giant, rolling his eyes, opened his mouth in surprise.
"Oh, oh, that’s right······. So, warrior, why have you co to see ······."
The giant spoke in a ek voice, keeping his volu low.
"Hmm, I don’t want to talk too much."
I nodded and replied, "Let’s get straight to the point."
"······?"
"You, you’re here to find the demon, right? To fight him."
At that, the giant’s eyes widened.
"How, how do you know that! Are you saying you know where the demon is!?"
"Yeah, we’re going to fight the demon soon. And I want you to lend your strength."
