The Tale of the Teapot Hero's Revenge

"... uhh, nnh..."

I open my heavy eyelids to the morning light from outside Mad.

I only feel the warmth of the futon.

The man who should always be there has no shadow or shape.

"... huh?

Looking around Kyrokirokuro as you lay awake with a question mark on your head.

Let's start by sorting out your drowsiness situation.

This is not a castle.

The castle is in a state of semi-destruction and cannot be put in danger.

This is Mr. Balji's shop in the eastern section of Wangdu, which has suffered relatively little damage.

On the second floor, it was originally Stra's room.

We bring the furniture back to a habitable environment for now.

After that battle, you must be exhausted.

Killier fell asleep.

I didn't wake up all day yesterday.

I wonder if it's because I fought like that.

Or did the mind need rest instead of the body?

Anyway, I've been hanging out with such a Killier.

I was very happy to be here today...

……

You're not here.

Killier, where have you been?

I decided to change my clothes and take a bag with parchment and a wingpen to look for Killier.

When I left the shop, it was Fountain Square.

Until the king's capital is rebuilt, most people have taken refuge in villages to the south and friendly countries such as Balmillard and Steige.

Still, it's not like she's not here at all.

A significant number of people are beginning to rebuild or prepare for business.

Then, there was a kind of appetizing smell.

"......!

In the corner of the square, cooking is carried out.

Is this smell some kind of soup?

As you wake up, your tummy rings loudly and walks slowly towards you as you're invited.

"Good morning, Beauty sister. Killier, are you still asleep?

Melo was in line.

It's a morning greeting for the first time.

Good morning. Kirie-san, I wasn't there.

"Really? Sometimes it's unusual to leave your sister alone."

Melo is also alone, right? I'm not with Mr. Toka.

"Besides, Toka is not a nickname, unlike you two! Already....!

Mr Melo, who was illuminated easily, burst out laughing unexpectedly.

I ate a clear soup full of large grains of meat and vegetables, and my stomach completely swollen.

Your body is warm and full of energy.

According to Melo, Mr. Toka is working on reconstruction work, especially in the heavily damaged central sector.

Killier doesn't have any particular clues, so I decided to turn to you.

The central section is the main battlefield of the battle.

The giant Empyreo body has melted and disappeared, but it still seems very difficult to undo.

Many knights and soldiers, as well as magic fighters (Golems), carry garbage and timber.

Of course, these Magic Fighters (Golems) are being manipulated...

"... oh? It's Beauty. Good morning, sir."

"....."

It's Mr. Toka.

I was carrying a big piece of wood on my shoulders.

To talk to me, put it down on the ground like this.

Good morning. Furusagi, that's very true.

"Sure, it's tough. You broke me completely into a hade."

Is that what you're saying to Lion God Tadashi (Pirea Fidelis)?

Or to Killier...?

Well, maybe we'll finish sooner than planned because we've filled our hands with magic fighters (Golem)

It's amazing how hundreds of magic fighters (Golems) work.

Mr. Toka stares at it while sweating his forehead.

On his wrist is a bracelet with black balls.

Yes, the [fighter] is still alive.

[Soldier] On the contrary, it is in a state where all balls of courage (gift sphere) can be used.

"I can't believe he's still working after Empyreo's death."

If so, is the soul inside still intact?

That's not true.

Only Gift Strength and Combat Experience remain in the Gift Sphere.

When Empyreo was completely dead, a lot of white light popped out of the carcass.

I don't know what the light was.

However, oneechan said that the souls that have been eaten up to now may have been released that have not been completely absorbed.

"If there was a soul of a man named Cain in it, please tell Noah...."

Onee-san's small, crushed side face seemed kind of lonely and very gentle.

Soon afterwards, something happened to everyone's gift balls (gift spheres).

From the jewels, the same white light that exited Empire popped out and disappeared.

Examining the Gift Ball (Gift Sphere) in the Order revealed that Gifts and Combat Experience remained, but not just the Hero's Soul.

According to Quina, the Gift Sphere is a powerful magic.

Even if Empire dies, it will not disappear.

However, it was Empire's will that tied his soul inside the boundary.

It seems that the disappearance freed the soul as well.

Anyway, it would be helpful if you could still use the gift sphere after everything is over.

A souvenir left behind by the brave men of all generations.

Thank you for letting me use it.

"... by the way, Beat, are you alone now? Looks like someone was looking for it....."

Killier, I wasn't there. Didn't you see?

"Ah, are you looking for Killier? I saw him. I just walked towards the castle."

"......!

Well done, Killier, we have information!

I dash to the castle with a pepper and a bow to Mr. Toka.

"Hey, hey, watch your step!

Yes, of course, the garbage is scattered, but I'm sorry if it falls.

Fly to the castle at a glance, run where there are no galaxies.

Get closer and closer...

"... ah, hah..."

No, I'm tired.

Since Empyreo's curse disappeared, his body has been very light.

No matter how much magic you use, you won't get tired.

However, my poor health doesn't improve...

"... nh, fuu..."

Rest until you are ready to breathe.

Somewhere to rest...

Gah!

……

I was looking around Kyrokyoro and my attention to my feet was wandering.

I feel like I'm about to fall off my feet because of the kid.

When I staggered my arms.

That's it!

"......!

"... fuu, it's just a haircut"

My body was hugged by someone.

... no, it's not someone.

This warmth, this smell, and this voice.

I love it all.

You have to be careful, Beat.

"......!

Killier, I found it!
