The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

A unique feeling that rises from the bottom of the water.

When the eyelids are opened, the wood of the Sagami Chamber of Commerce in Straheim, which has become familiar, enters into view.

And a knocking sound that is repeatedly beaten.

"What time is it?

The clock showed 5: 30 when he whipped his heavy head and pointed only at his face.

When the window curtains are opened, across the window glass, the intense colors mixed with gold in red illuminate Straheim.

Apparently, I've been asleep all day.

I look around remembering that I had a contract for that extreme devil's guide, but it's disappearing as if it was a dream.

Now the Lord of this knock responds first. He moved to the door to drag his heavy body, and when he opened it, Jude was standing.

"Good. You awake? But, Admiral, I've been asleep for the last three days, are you sure you're okay?

"Hmm? Three days? Was I that sleepy?

Jude frowned.

"What are you talking about? A few times yesterday, you came down to the first floor and you gave us specific instructions, right?

Speaking of which, you did. Ever since I signed with that Polar Devil's Guide, my whole body has been lazy for four or six hours, intense sleepers are constantly attacking me, and I've been asleep.

But why did you forget? It's my first experience, such as a few days of memory flying, no matter how much I fell asleep.

(I guess it's because of that magic book)

I can't think of anything else.

Gifts such as circular rings and metastases, as well as unchanging magic, cannot be used at all. Is it possible that there is a degree of memory confusion?

Whatever...

"It's a victory ceremony, isn't it?

"Oh, I'm here to call you because it's already starting"

"Okay. Let's head right over. Then carry me."

Jude nods loudly causing the metastasis to unfold. Apparently, Jude and the others can use my gift. That's a lot of restriction.

Well, it doesn't look like the gift itself has been lost beyond what Jude and the others can use, and all we have to do is find a way to disarm it. There seems to be no major problem.

The magic formation of the transition rotates and the scenery changes at the next moment. The light of the lamp reflected a large cylindrical room made of stone.

I've never seen this place before, but it's quite ancient in terms of architectural style. Just one building or other that will remain unraveled by the kingdom and empire in Camelot. It would be that stone tower in the middle of the city.

The Empire and the Royal Army did not demolish this place because this tower was suited to looking around at high altitudes. I mean, for the sake of the enemy.

"" Master Grey!

Carla waves her hands and Satella hugs me.

"What, you guys were here too?

"Yes! Because I am Lady Gray's exclusive maid!

child maid with her hands on both hips and chest stretched;

"Gray's proclamation ceremony as lord, of course!

My (selfish) symmetry daughter who uplifts her face with excitement.

No, this is a victory ceremony, not my lord's proclamation ceremony.

Well, in that it does make a declaration, it may in a way be shooting (at) a target.

Let's go, Admiral.

"Oh."

I nod at Judd's words and go up the stairs of the tower. The width of the stairs was five or six meters wider than expected.

On both sides of the road stand the tribal chiefs of Ladle, bowing their heads deeply as we pass.

(Sounds like a ritual)

After a few moments up the stairs with simple thoughts, the end point of the aisle enters your sight forward.

……

Three meters was next to a stone door, a red-haired shipyard (Seki cancer) man - Aquid and Klama greeted me and opened the stone door.

I'm sure Cummer and Hutch are close by at this rate.

When I knocked at the door, it was like an observation deck.

The sunset light pierces the atmosphere like a golden arrow, illuminating a crowd that exists like a stuffed animal beneath a tower.

"My lord!

Theo, dressed in a brilliantly decorated brown and red ethnic costume, comes with his arms parallel and saluted. And the captains of the soldiers present at Calogero.

"Lord Grey."

Dressed in a coat-like ethnic costume with a red and black tone on a bright white skirt, Lucia with a red dye on her cheeks bows small.

"Oh, thank you."

"Dear Gray, I'll see you later"

The exclusive maid next door overlooks Lucia half-eyed.

"Hmm? What?

"No, we're talking here."

Karla is gently kicking the floor with her cheeks inflated from earlier for some reason to Satella, who turns to her pussy.

Regardless of the phase change, the women in our Chamber of Commerce have no idea what that means.

"Admiral, it's time."

One face tightens to Jude's stiff, unusual voice.

I move forward in front of the observation deck and look over Gurli and the Laddle people.

What a surprise. There are more than a thousand of them lightly. War happened three days ago. In this underdeveloped part of transport, this many gather, which means that nearby residents may even be visiting all the young and old, the sick and the healthy.

"Quiet no!!"

A loud voice, similar to Theo's roar, blows through, quieting back near the squares where he was bluffing.

"Our Ladr army, under the command of King Mountain Xian, destroyed the Army of the Kingdom of Amulzez in the fort of Arkroy last night and won. Our victory!!"

sparse cheer. Not very much, but I can't believe Ladle is defeating the Royal Army right now. Such a gaze of suspicion was read as plausible.

Sent out of each tribe were precisely, between twenty and thirty. You can't beat the Royal Army by that number. It is believed that my army, an Imperial Lordship, either retrieved the captives in an ambush attack.

In short, I guess they're only here to identify a new ruler named me.

"I have a word from King Mountain Xian. Everybody, listen up!

The woods run wildly from the crowd. Daimyo, I don't see a key lord. That would be the place.

I step forward,

"I am Gray Ines Navarro. I am the new lord entrusted by the Empire to govern this land."

Stunning voices blow through the square at the same time.

"First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your victory over Raddle.

Thank you for your sorrow. "

I lowered my head gently and the noise silenced at once. Because I can't read the intent of my words.

"It's abrupt, but I assure you. You're all livestock now."

The square will be dominated by an anger like Tao Tao. That's good, I still feel angry. Proof of that.

"The defeat of the Empire and the numerous repressions by its seconded lords have left you all willing to resist, as well as abandoning what is most important as a person"

Theo tells me the details. Shortly after the undead of the old lords David and the others, when they were occupied by the kingdom, they apparently submitted hostages and food without much resistance.

What the state, no, needs for people to live is food for dignity and self-sufficiency. When you throw those two at your opponent, people turn into livestock.

"Don't say anything unsolicited! Empire dogs!!"

"Yes, aren't you all the culprits!!"

"What a new lord! The Empire has abandoned you!!"

"Empire out of our country!"

Cursing noise rising from the place (where I was) and the call of "Go", which gradually grows larger.

Theo puts a blue bar on his forehead and tries to get the people out of town, but Aquid grabs his shoulder and shakes his neck to the left and right.

The boulder knows my side, what I am.

I whisper my ears with my pinky fingers,

"Takeshifting responsibilities, escaping reality? That's why you're livestock."

Yeah, let it go.

……

Just a moment of silence in my tone that suddenly changed (because of it), and then the yelling noise that just rocked and moved the building.

"Ah yes, livestock would be happier. I wish I could put my destiny in the hands of others.

Leave it to the exchangers and the tribal chiefs to blame the others and fate for the inconvenient consequences. Nothing is so simple or easy to do. "

Of course, I personally have revulsion, but I don't deny that way of life. Because it does have to be one way.

But...

"But there was a declaration from Theo earlier, wasn't there? You ladles have won the kingdom of Amulzez, one of the three great nations of the world, this time around.

The world can't ignore you anymore. Don't let me walk the easy way. I mean, that's synonymous with the fact that you can't be a livestock anymore "

Angry voices subside and turn to blur again.

"You can beat the kingdom with that number of people. No!

"That's right! You just fled home!? I'm exaggerating."

Natural opinion jumping out of the crowd. Then let's try to demonstrate as you wish.

"Hate, but you can win."

When you sense my intentions or the calogero behind you moves forward, you set a target.

In the centre of the square there was a space of about three metres in radius designated as off-limits surrounded by rope.

Calogero's muzzle is secured to the armor bracketed with wooden bars in that compartment.

Maybe Theo and the others can't do this. Probably Aquid's idea.

Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!

Five bullets penetrating armor, bouncing off and penetrating deep into the ground.

It is a weapon that cannot exist in this world with flight distance and power. As you would expect, everyone only lifts their mouth gently to see the sight.

"Look, I'm only gonna say this once, so listen carefully. From now on, the world will cut its rudder to a war of madness it has not yet experienced. Perhaps the center of it will be you ladles."

It defeated the three powerful countries, albeit locally. This fact is limitless and heavy. If it is not so dumb, each country will try to find out what caused it.

Once intelligence has been gathered by each country, information will be leaked about the modern weapons currently in Radle's possession, no matter how confidential they may be.

In that case, the nations of the world will be attentive and will wage war in madness to death in order to grasp the logic of the weapons that could change that war situation. That's in an army strong enough for the soldiers at the fort in Arkhroy to look like children.

"Hey, why us?!? We don't want a fight anymore. I just want to live quietly!!"

A young man just below speaks up with a bright blue face.

"No matter how much you raise your voice, no one will believe it. I told you. The lid of Hell's Cauldron has already been opened."

At some point nobody opens their mouth. However, only breathtaking voices and silence dominated the neighborhood.

"What if we lose?

Lucia's voice of doubt from behind.

"If you lose in the war, then it's eradication. First, people who have developed weapons that overshadow nearly ten times the difference in power are too frightening."

If humanity in this world, where wartime law is underdeveloped, it should be such an idea. And a country with a monopoly on Raddle technology aspires to world hegemony.

"I can't feel safe just because I won. Whatever you're after, it's the world. One powerful country after another comes in. And if we can't drop it, we'll start forming alliances between our enemies."

If it is war, not least firearms will be in the hands of other countries, and no matter how much foresight there is on technology here, it is visible that bloody fierce warfare will take place.

"There is one way to be saved. Rich men, each and every one of you must be reborn into one of the most powerful nations in the world, both politically, economically and militarily."

In short, at the time I gave them firearms in the war ahead, they had only two paths to take.

"There are two paths left for you guys.

Will it be completely destroyed as livestock? Or make this country the best and most powerful country in the world as a Raddle? One of them!

I turn my back on the people,

"I want you to make wise decisions."

Forcing the last decision and disappearing into the tower.
