Isekai Taneuma

The group that arrived at Vinci Village, the villa of Leonardo, was guided to a castle-like mansion on the mountain. Passing through a vast site like a carriage, while being greeted by a large number of servants, Feng managed to get comfortable in the reception room and was told by the butler what happened during his husband's absence.

Sebastian, the butler, seemed to wonder how many masters he had initially taken, whether it would be better to report it to an unknown group of women and children, including veterinarians, or to read the air and come out again.

"I don't mind."

After elegantly bowing, he began to speak, as if he had regained his professional consciousness with the words of Leonardo.

"I apologize... while Milord is away, the Imperial Army has invaded our territory and the Alma kingdom has surrendered under invasion. During this event, the Federation Council finally raised their hips and began conscripting with the Adventurer Alliance as a point of contact, managing to gather more troops than the Imperial Army and preparing them steadily for the final."

"Master Left... has the Empire finally begun... Hmm, but even though it was defenseless, the Brave Realm, who never even allowed one intrusion before, allowed it so easily? Why couldn't the Imperial Army beat him before he left the woods?

When Leonardo asked with a difficult face, the butler kept looking cool.

"I will explain in order. First of all, you know that the 13 clans in Congress today were leaning toward the Empire Liberals rather than the brave ones. As a result, Alma, a brave nation that protects its borders, has deepened its isolation. His country has simmered its business into Congress, which has not changed its attitude even after the fall of Hermes, and has united itself with the Empire. Even if I say sumo, it's actually surrender....."

"Why are you doing this again? They must have hated the Empire in particular."

"Rather, that was the problem. After the Hermes War earlier, the Empire returned the refugees, but let the war criminals be searched for, and for a variety of reasons, it was aiming to establish an army in the territory. I wish I had been resolute in responding to this irrational request, but the Liberals have shown a willingness to accept it as temporary. However, with permission, the Imperial Army will always pass through the territory of the Alma kingdom. Not only has his country been forced to take care of refugees, but he will be able to take care of the Imperial Army as it is... and he will no longer have to feel the enemy everywhere inside and outside."

"I see...."

"And one more thing, which seems to me the biggest reason for betraying Congress, is that his country hid former Lord Hermes in its territory."

"Oh, my God, Isaac ran in there."

I had heard that Isaac had fallen after the fall of the palace, thanks to the Feng and the others who had taught Kazuya a way out in advance, but apparently he had fled to the brave realm, not the big forest.

"Yes, both countries have historically been close to their parents, and the Alma Nation initially hid him in secrecy from Congress. But if we forgive the invasion of the Empire, discovery is only a matter of time. His kingdom was hunted down, so it appears he made a bet that he would make a souvenir of the former Lord Hermes and reconcile himself with the Empire."

"And the Empire?

"With the cooperation of the Alma Nation, we are deploying troops from his country to surrounding countries in search of war criminals. In response, the neighboring countries of Kara, Linda, and the following seven countries have issued condemnation statements, but they do not appear to be willing to listen to the Imperial Army."

I guess so. The only aim is to invade..... "

Leonardo has a difficult face while pulling his long beard. Feng asked what was bothering him on behalf of such an old man.

"So what happened to Isaac? They executed you?

The butler shook his head.

"The Empire seems to have decided to use him politically for the sake of marching within the brave realm. Specifically, in the name of discovering from his mouth that a war criminal is hiding in the valiant realm, he is moving his army to search."

"Hmm... so he's still alive?"

To put it simply, it is the source of all the evil that called the Feng and the others into this world. I don't resent it any more now, but I couldn't help it. Only Mary, who had known him for a long time, looked anxious, but everyone else seemed to agree.

The butler looked at Feng and Mary and remembered something.

"That's right. Would this be good news? It looks like your arrangement with the Adventurer Alliance has been dropped. It's only natural that the Empire was arranging it. I'm safe as long as I'm here."

"What, so we weren't worried about being attacked anymore... then what was that bandit? You attacked me without knowing? They're annoying, I hope they've been defeated. But I'm glad, Feng. I had to kill that bandit."

Guillaume whispered disgustingly. I came with a little chicken, but he's generally right, so there's nothing I can do. If I had, I would have had a pretty bad aftertaste by now, so I'd have to thank Lucy.

Nevertheless, when it comes to safety, if we lose the war, we have no children.

"So, is the Brave Leader strong enough to defeat the Imperial Army?

"Yes... there is no problem..."

Leonardo answered the question, not the butler.

"If you describe it clearly, the Empire is a slavery centered on saints. In contrast, the Brave Leader is a liberal economy after the Industrial Revolution. Both GDP and population have more than ten times the difference in their national power. Therefore, once conscription begins, it is easy to gather the strength to double the Empire... but since it is a country that does not normally have an army, there is simply not enough practice or troops. It's not too late to move after what happened."

"Ah, that's...."

"For now, I don't have an Adventurers Guild to say that... but the Federation Council thinks that a combat professional adventurer is no different from a bunch of grassroots thieves."

When Leonardo threw up in agony, the butler continued to take over.

"Congress fears tyranny on the part of the Great King (Tycoon). Originally speaking, the Brave Leader is the country made by the Brave One. Your name value as a party member is immeasurable here. If the Adventurer Alliance were to be active in this war, the people would want you to be king. For this reason, the 13 clans are distant from the Adventurers Guild and are less inclined to use it."

That means that high-ranking adventurers who use it for conscription, but with Leonardo's breath, don't want to come near. But hopefully they will win the war, but do they know how fragile an army without good generals is...

"... thirteen clans and so on, and I was affectionate with the nobles of the royal family, but all my ancestors were friends. I told you I wouldn't imitate my grandson taking the pocket money, but they're unbelievable. It's sad."

They are afraid of being deprived of their place because they did not acquire the royal family for a long time. It's ironic, because it's a friend of my ancestors who gave me that status. I was envious to hear that I lived for 300 years, but perhaps not surprisingly.

The venue is dull, but the butler fixes the topic so that he can get back on his feet.

"Let me return to… As your husband pointed out, the Federation Council was aware of the shortage of troops and decided to invite a general from the Kara Nation to install him in the Command as a painful measure."

"What!? Aren't you a Demon King?"

"Yes, I've been here a few times during my husband's absence because the maintenance people are worried about it. When I learned of your absence, you were disappointed to come home, but you said you wanted me to come to Congress at any time. I think I'd be happy to give it to you."

"I can't feel it...."

I felt like I heard a word that wasn't calm, and Feng asked in a hurry.

"Did I just say demonic? I can't believe you're in this country."

"Ah... that's not exactly what I meant..."

Leonardo began to mourn the shame of his family.

"To scratch and explain, the Brave Leader has been a brave nation in the state of Empire and War since its inception. However, after many years, the opponent has become exhausted, and now the Liberals are rising to insist on a peaceful line of cooperation with the Empire, saying that there is no benefit in fighting any more. And the original mainstream was being driven away... from that rebellion, an extremist shouting out against the Empire, and that's what they call the Demon Kings. They only aim to solve the problem by force, so they usually gather private soldiers to train and say all the good things. Normally, no one listens, but in this emergency, radical opinions are better."

"Hmm... anyway, do you have the strength?

"I don't know. I usually use my military to attract people's interest, but I don't have any actual combat experience so I can't measure it. In experience, the Imperial Army is similar, so it depends on how far the difference between the Standby Army and the Immediate Army goes....."

Well, that might work out for you.

Hopefully, Leonardo answered with a sigh. When that happens, I may say that I will attack the Empire in good health, so I wonder if it hurts and itches.

Nevertheless, it is a terrible story to say that he had escaped the war and lurked in the big forest, but when he came back, the war changed places and still continues. I can't go back to the big forest again, so why don't you jump to the new world...?

No, now Mary is one of the most powerful priests. Now that the assassin is here, there's nothing we can do about her.

Even so, since the Empire, which knew Mary existed, was after her, Feng and the others would have fled, but now it seems that the Empire's purpose is turning into the control of the Warrior Realm. As for me, if I didn't have a chaser, I wouldn't know what the war would be like, so I just had to ask you to do whatever you want.

"Well, I don't know what I'm going to do... with the arrangement dropped, I don't have to go to the New World right now. I'll stay here until I decide what the policy is...."

"Don't you have to run away? Depending on the outcome of the war, you might get kicked out of here.

Even if Guillaume talks like that, the old man is flat.

"Why not? He is not the king of this land. Without Congress, the Alliance adventurers will not be involved in the war. How can an old man who hasn't said anything like that be called an empire, and how can he do it?"

"... is that so?

Guillaume is twisting his neck just not convinced, but perhaps the old man is right.

The victory or defeat of a war depends at best on reparations between nations. No matter how much force you use to dominate people, you can't tie them to your heart. Irrational behavior is the result of anti-whistling. But if we were to kill the rebels, one day the country would perish.

If you still want to force yourself to rule, you will drive out the indigenous people and send in immigrants in line with history. However, considering the population ratio of the boyfriend, it is impossible to do so. Therefore, only the 13 clans can be considered troubled by the victory or defeat of the war.

I don't know what the Empire is thinking, but I don't know, maybe that's the end of it. You want to sharpen their money and make it easier for them to hear you. Regardless, Feng thought staying here was not a bad choice.

Well, let's do some adventurer work around here for a while. Mani must have just come out of the village, and Gargantuar asked me to. And I care about the labyrinth. "

"Yes... are you going there again? Maybe we should just forget about it."

I remembered when Mary and Lucy entered the labyrinth and showed a sneaky expression. The labyrinth that bewitched men seemed to have planted them with light trauma.

"But if you attack the Labyrinth, I'm sure you'll get a lot of experience. And maybe a chance to get some unknown magic."

"Hmm... I see."

Mary shows her experience. It's cash, but Feng's shared experience is the only way to level her up any further. Moreover, Lucy, who has recently gained strength and strength, seems intrigued by the treasures of the labyrinth.

However, for now, we have found no way to break through the defenses of that labyrinth. Unless we do something about it, the strategy will be a dream again.

That's right. Phoenix, show Sebastian the pattern. "

Show the symbol on the map of the elders as Feng was told. The butler came closer and looked at it.

"What is this...?

"I don't know... but it seems to be a hint to attack the labyrinth. Could you check the family line that uses these family crests and see if there are any magic items? I don't have any children left behind, so I'm just keeping it a secret."

"Yes, sir."

"Well then, Abigail. Take these guys to the guest room, as appropriate. Philip and Meatier stay here and take over the Guild's work from Sebastian. Leave everything in this village to him."

Feng and the others were guided out of the room by the maid director. Thinking about the life ahead makes me a little nervous, but whatever it is, I will be able to sleep on a soft bed for a long time tonight.
