The Tale of the Teapot Hero's Revenge

The morning light that shoots over the curtain blinks and wakes up.

In front of me, Beat's face resting quietly.

How many times have I seen this sight since I met this girl?

... How many more times can I see it?

Since yesterday, when I found out Joana was alive, the night has dawned.

Earlier today, I plan to look into a large crater where Empireo is likely to be.

I have to find Empireo early in the day to welcome him as Beato all this morning, kill Joana and another artificial brave, and kill Empireo for the finish.

"... eh"

There you go.

Beat turned his back and opened his eyes quietly.

Look at my face blurry for a while, then chuckle.

"... Morning, Beat"

"... eh"

Snuggle up like sweet and mouth my cheeks.

I get a "victory muzzle," and then sometimes they do this, but what the hell kind of muzzle?

... I wonder if it would be convenient to think of it as a manifestation of favor, not as ambiguous.

"... shall we wake up"

"... eh"

Even so, I guess I can only answer this kid's feelings after it's all over.

Because I don't like me.

Because I still can't forgive myself for not being able to do anything while everyone in my family and village is being killed.

Even if you could tell Beato you like me for not liking me, I'm sure you wouldn't feel happy.

When I took my family's revenge and let Beat try to save them, I think for the first time then I can forgive me.

So until then...

With the introduction of Princess Perne, I was to be able to speak to the great scholar of the castle.

There must be a big crater where Empireo fell.

If you're a scholar, I thought you'd know as much about the place as you do.

But......

"Unfortunately, there are no giant craters in the Deltirade territory and in the Eastern countries"

Returning from a middle-aged scholar with glasses was an unexpected answer.

"... really? Not just that they haven't found it?

"The size of a red star that can be estimated from the record is something like hundreds of meters. You would have done devastating damage to your surroundings when you fell out of the sky. For example, enough to easily burn wilderness about the size of our country's territory..."

... so much?

It's just that big, and it's unimaginably powerful.

"But only the fall of fragments and the emergence of demons are recorded as disasters that occurred after the red stars descended. The damage caused by the fall of the red star itself has not been recorded at all"

"... uh, I mean?

"No craters were found and no damage was done. This can no longer only be assumed that the red stars did not clash against the surface"

Scholar fluttering his neck to the side and throwing a teaspoon.

Even for me, I don't know what to do anymore.

You're looking for a crater to find out where Empireo fell, but if you didn't leave the crater when he fell, you can't hit him with your hand.

"If it's the end of the west of the subhuman realm, there's no investigation going on either, so it's possible that a giant crater exists..."

Subhuman territory at the end of the west?

Will I find a place where there is no map in such a loch without Ate to relax?

In the first place, there's no certainty that it's in subhuman territory.

"Something, something's possible..."

At the very least, I want to crush all possibilities before I go looking.

I stare at the map of the human realm and think desperately.

Somewhere out of the ordinary, the crater is --.

"... ah"

Could this be it?

I, Killier Minaret, may have had a generation of flickers descend.

"Hey, scholar. Could this Deltirade basin be a crater...?

The mountains surround Diete, the king's capital.

It doesn't even look like a crater to me, this.

It's too big for me to imagine, and maybe...!

"... Oh, is that the story? It's a famous rarity that was denied a long time ago."

"Denial? Unusual...?

Oh, that?

Scholar's reaction, very cold......

"Around eight kilometers east, west and north, mainly in the Wang capital. Indeed, the Deltirade Basin is vast. The surrounding mountains are also infinitely close to circular"

"Then there's the possibility of being a crater..."

"Okay? First, the crater is in the shape of a rind bowl. The slopes arc round and deeper into the center. This basin, on the other hand, is a basin, as its name suggests. It's Ping."

... Oh, my God.

I was pinned when I saw it on the map.

I wasn't even thinking about the actual terrain......

"Secondly, if so many craters were made, there would be enough shock waves for all of this continent to disappear. but as I said earlier, no such record is kept anywhere"

"... is that right?"

There's no more noise.

It was completely debated and the possibilities were rooted in denial.

And, when it does, I guess I'll just have to look for the West subhuman territory......

"But I miss it a lot."

"I miss...?

"No, a brilliant scholar from Paradise was once in this castle. He was my master, but at one point he joked and told me that he believed this story."

Scholars from Paradise, huh?

I'm sure this guy doesn't know, but I mean someone who's been tapping into that technology.

It's possible he's grabbing a secret I don't know about Empireo.

"Um... where is that scholar now?

If you talk to that person, something could change.

Even a device to defeat Empireo could help us develop it.

I swept my chest to expectations and asked about the person.

"Come on. I hear you stopped being a scholar and then moved to some village in the realm. The name is —— but with Kenny."

But the moment I heard that name.

My expectations squished small.

Grandpa Kenny was a former Paradise scientist.

That bag of wisdom is convincing now that I think about it.

What reason was it in the resistance?

I work at the castle, and I've seen Burtoghu do whatever he wants up close... or something.

Now I can only guess.

Yes, I can only guess, and I can't listen to you from the person.

That day, with my family and best friends, Grandpa Kenny was killed, too.

"... Speaking of"

If Grandpa Kenny was a member of the resistance, Mr. Gillius might know something.

Now that I'm off to exorcise demons with the leaders, I'll ask them when I get back.

And then if we go back to Paradise, I wonder if there's anything left of it.

Anyway, I'm tired of thinking too much.

There's nothing I can do right now, and let Beat heal me first.

I'm home.

"... Huh!

"Ah, welcome back, sss!

"... Quina?

When I returned to Beato's waiting room, there was a quina with Beato.

The two of us are at the table and getting some tea treats.

"What are you doing, you two?"

"... eh"

"Then, the... Killier and I were going to ask Beat out, too. Wang Du's sightseeing, I want to go."

"Tourism......?
