Chapter 58
You’re not even human, you bastards!
If you were truly human, you wouldn’t commit such atrocities!
“You guys, be honest with .”
“What, Karl?”
“Are all of you spies? Are you Luzerne planted agents?”
“What nonsense!”
“That’s rude, Karl! It seems you’ve forgotten, but we’re heirs to a noble lineage!”
Oh dear. Thankfully, they seem to have so awareness, huh? They acknowledge being heirs to a noble lineage!
But despite having such awareness, why do they dare to touch the devil’s concoction? Huh?!
Without hesitation, I delivered a solid blow to Joachim’s head.
Bam!―
“Ow!”
“You’re quite eloquent. Yes. You heirs of a noble lineage dare to spread devil’s concoction that could potentially cause great national division in the empire? Huh?!”
“What, what are you saying! National division! To suggest that we’re committing treason against the empire… Ugh!”
“Don’t talk back. Huh? Hey, gentlen. Don’t protest in front of the honored recipient of the dal of Honor.”
“Eek! Ack! I’m sorry! It hurts!!”
It’s horrific just to imagine. Thinking about the future of the empire that would unfold by spreading mint chocolate!
If these guys continue to spread mint chocolate like this, there’ll be a cult worshiping it!
“Mint chocolate is delicious! Hey, try it. Try it!”
“Aaargh! It’s the Mint Chocolate Gang! We must judge them all! Guards! Guards!!”
“Gasp! Those guards have a record of eating mint chocolate!”
“Traitors! They’re traitors! Aaargh!”
Truly extre likes and dislikes. And in my opinion, sothing that absolutely cannot be allowed.
To think they would dare to put such a dreadful concoction into my nostalgic Bungeoppang. This is crossing the line.
“No way. Even if there’s a speck of dust in my eyes, I can’t allow it!”
“I thought you said you weren’t interested in patents! Doesn’t that an you have no right to speak here?”
“Say it again, Shulifen.”
“Now that I think about it, the words of the great dal of Honor recipient seem to be truly correct.”
When I quietly showed them the greatsword from my embrace, Shulifen cald down.
Indeed. Shouldn’t we prevent this fellow from drinking the noble blood instead of kanfra blood?
“No, I really don’t understand. Karl. Is this really okay?”
“Yeah. We’ve all tasted it already. While tastes may differ, still…”
“Whether tastes differ or not, don’t put it in Bungeoppang. Please. If you want to sell that separately, do it. I won’t stop that on moral grounds, but I absolutely prohibit it from the Bungeoppang I proposed. Absolutely forbidden.”
Mint chocolate? Fine. Do whatever with it. But don’t touch my Bungeoppang. Don’t put it on my hotteok. Seriously, there’s a limit to everything.
If it’s tasty, just eat it as it is. Don’t go beyond the bounds of decency!
In the end, the colossal failure of the four’s mint chocolate-flavored Bungeoppang was barely averted.
Selena’s rejection of these people was indeed a wise choice.
They’re truly insane. How could they even think of putting mint chocolate in Bungeoppang?
And a week later.
“…What the hell is this?”
I was left speechless looking at the articles spread out in front of .
< A Gust of Wind Sweeping the Streets! Overwhelming Popularity! Mint Chocolate! >
< What's this? How do you eat this? ...Huh? This is pretty good?! Magic that calls for one more! >
< Discovery of Mint Chocolate. Visiting Prince of Thierdal Joachim Placen! >
< Shulifen Rosberg. "Mint chocolate is delicious. I love you, Empire." >
The mint chocolate, which had just started its business, began to sweep across the entire empire.

The Hyzens delegation mbers crossed the border and finally entered imperial territory.
“Finally, it’s the Empire.”
“Indeed.”
Mixed in with them were Eloise and Rika, who had completed all operations.
The grand revenge drama nad ‘Wrath of God’ was almost perfectly concluded.
Apart from the Luzerne faction leadership, who had already defected to the Hyzens side, most had been eliminated.
There were a few among the moderates, but they were all ‘persuaded’ by Rika.
“I’ll cut off all your limbs and join the moderate faction. Or would you rather quietly defect to the Hyzens side?”
“I, I won’t join Luzerne! I won’t ever again!”
…I’m not sure if this can be considered persuasion or not.
“….”
Eloise glanced briefly at Rika, who was walking beside her.
As I ntioned before, she was truly overwhelming. Human yet not quite human.
I was considered one of the top figures on the Hyzens side. However, I lacked confidence.
Would I truly survive a real battle against that woman?
‘I’ve never encountered soone so specialized in special operations like Rika.’
Sotis I wonder if there’s elven blood mixed in the Adelheit family.
Such covert movents. An extraordinary level of senses, including hearing, vision, and even sll.
It’s bewildering how sothing so absurd could erge among pure humans.
If by so miracle the next emperor of the empire were born from that woman…
‘Would it be the ergence of the empire’s strongest warlord…?’
“Why are you looking at like that, Eloise?”
Perhaps my gaze lingered too long. Rika questioned .
Upon which I sighed and then imdiately spoke up.
“You’re returning to the empire. So I thought you’d want to go see the Crown Prince right away.”
It’s only been a few months since they started dating, but still, dating is dating.
And I knew that those few months were considered the freshest and most passionate ti.
“No, I’m going to see Karl first.”
“….”
Suddenly, I felt sorry for the prince.
“Ahaha… I see.”
“Why are you moving with the Hyzens delegation, Eloise? I said I’ll take care of the escort, didn’t I? Oh, could it be you’re assigned to be their escort when they return?”
The escort. Indeed, there were movents from the higher-ups to assign such a mission.
Moreover, there was experience working with the empire’s personnel like Rika, and since Rika seed to have so connection with the prince, it was intended to build more camaraderie by traveling together.
Of course, I wasn’t just going to obediently accept it.
“Damn it.”
[Eloise Loengrand?]
“Damn it! You bastards! I won’t do it! Can’t do it! After fooling around for months again?! Have you forgotten the terms of our contract?! I said if you did this, I’d beat the shit out of you, right? That’s why you’re hearing all this nonsense!”
After throwing away the squirrel I caught, I took out the resignation I had been keeping close to my chest (literally) and waved it around.
“I quit! I won’t do it because it’s filthy! I won’t do it!”
[Eloise! Just calm down for a mont! If we finish this mission…]
“How many tis have I heard that? I won’t be fooled, I won’t!”
Look at this. Her skin’s all wrinkled. She’s an elf known for eternal beauty, yet look at her now.
I don’t know how tortured she must have been.
For two months. No, it’s been almost three months since she slept more than two hours a day. There were many nights she didn’t sleep at all!
At this rate, she’ll probably die without even having a chance to mourn. No, she won’t even be able to get married!
Her dream is to quickly et a good man, have a sweet and romantic relationship, and have a child. But at this rate, that dream will never co true. It’ll be a dream that she won’t achieve even if she wakes up from death!
[Eloise, commander! Eloise! Hey, bitch! What are you going to do if you quit now?]
“Hmph! Do you know what this is?!”
Standing in front of the squirrel that flew far away and ca running back, Eloise handed over a docunt.
What was visible was the ‘Empire Academy Exchange Student Application’ and Eloise’s na written inside.
[Exchange student? Wait, when did you apply for this?!]
“While I was dispatched to the empire! Ah! I won’t marry a stingy little elf like you! I’ll marry a generous, handso, and good fighting human man! That’s what I decided!”
[Marriage! If you want to, at least dress properly! And why would a human man like you… Hey, hey! Eloise!]
This was the recent attack by Eloise, the forr commander of the Extermination Battalion.
Word has it that chaos erupted within the Hyzens military leadership, but what can they do from Eloise’s perspective? Honestly, didn’t they break the terms of the contract?
“Eloise? Are you not going to answer?”
“Ah. No, Rika. It’s not for the purpose of escorting.”
“Really? Then what business do you have in the empire?”
With that statent, Rika didn’t ask Eloise any further.
She probably thought it wouldn’t be polite to pry further, considering that I may have received a separate mission from the higher-ups.
But now there’s no more Commander Eloise Loengrand.
There’s only the fresh and lively elf exchange student, Eloise Loengrand, who has been granted a scholarship in the midst of it all! And she’s eligible for marriage in elven terms!
“Rika. Can I ask you sothing?”
“Yes.”
“Do you really not have any thoughts about a half-elf niece? …I’m sorry. I’m sorry. My mistake. So, could you please put away that dagger?”
Even one more word would probably trigger a full-blown elven dismantling show from Rika.
In the end, I decided to make a major revision to the operation. Originally, I was going to seek permission first and approach Karl….
But if things turned out this way, I had no choice but to approach it from the opposite direction!
‘It’s easier to forgive than to ask permission!’
