The Tale of the Teapot Hero's Revenge

It's been a month since Joana and Kirier traveled to King's Capital.

If you're safe, it's time to come back.

"Hey brother! Don't make me look nasty, help me with chores and stuff!

"When I do, I get more work back...?

"Uzza"

When I tried it, I was blinded to look at the pig.

Stra's guy, he used to say, 'I love you brother!' He said something to me...

"You don't help at all with the resistance either. We're each other."

"Yes, helicuts. Ha, the only girl is Belle (...). My big brother comes here a lot too, so he's just a guy and he's annoying. Killiers, why don't you come home soon?"

As far as I'm concerned, I don't feel comfortable with a space full of girls...

We're in trouble at Reid's tool shop right now.

I can't show my face in public, including the other one, so it's a life where I've been underground and living space.

Sunshine, you haven't bathed in forever...

I don't do anything figurine state, 'princess' is mostly pulling into the basement too, but Stra is actively doing chores and cooking for me.

Reid's got a lot of help.

Stra, my arm is quite monstrous, so I asked him to be a force in the resistance.

(Stige is gone, because it's been ten years now... It was when he was just mindful)

Ten years ago, I was 16 and my brother was 22.

And Stra is four.

No memory, no thought, I guess this battle is other HR for him.

Back then, you got your brother and Cain to do the archery and sweat every day......

Yes, that was a hot summer day.

After the audition, I went to the sea with Reid...

"Bulge, as a blur again. Are you working on an operation?

When I started digging up old memories, Reid's voice brought me back to reality.

"Ooh, Reid. Is the store good?"

"Break. So, what's the operation this time?

Twenty years of best friends sitting across from me.

Light green hair and glasses have been intact since childhood.

"No, I was just remembering the old days.... Stige has begun to walk the path of doom, that day."

"... Oh, it was definitely a return from the sea. I received a declaration of war from the Kingdom of Deltirade."

Some things don't change, some things change.

That coastal landscape must still be intact.

But my hometown, a small country by the sea, is nowhere to be found now.

I lost everything, and for what it's not wacky, it's probably better than Kirie.

But I did get beat to the bottom of despair that day.

I swore to my heart that day that I would definitely kill Burtoghu and get my hometown back.

● ● ●

The Kingdom of Stiges was a small country, facing the eastern coast of the continent.

Some laid-back time flies by, that was probably a country.

Like nobody cares if your noble son plays by the sea.

I was out fishing that day with my best friend Reid.

Reid is the son of a deacon who serves the Returner family and a great best friend who has been playing with him since he was a kid.

I'm not good at moving my body and I'm just studying, he was the opposite of me, but I felt weird.

When I returned to the mansion with plenty of fish in my net basket, I was in the front hall with my father and brother in armor, and Mr. Cain.

My mother and servants almost dropped off the three of them.

"Bulge, you're back..."

Mother's face, when she saw me, was horrible, and she was cornered.

Such a face, as much as I've ever seen before.

Dad was calm, but by then, I guess I was ready, decided.

"Bulge, Reid too, calm down and listen to me. The kingdom of Deltirade has attacked Stige. Suddenly, without a declaration of war."

My father's explanation only made me think that something terrible had happened at that time.

Now that I think about it, I can understand how messy Burtoghu did it.

That son of a bitch, you even bothered to make an offensive excuse.

I guess war is just a means of diplomacy.

Unlike me, Reid must have figured out the seriousness of things.

With a blue face, he was talking to the deacon's father.

"We're going to lead the soldiers to the front line. The enemy is a great army, but we're just going to try."

Already at the time, the Kingdom of Deltirade had become a major force that swallowed up about half of the nations.

To the stige of a small country, so much so that there is no winning eye.

Still, Dad didn't show any anxiety and headed to the battlefield.

Pom my head once,

"I asked for a stra."

He beat the four-year-old Stra to me and left the mansion with his brothers.

That's when I saw my back, the last healthy father I saw.

Then a month.

Stige's army had set up defensive lines in three castles built with earthly magic and had managed to hold out.

We work together in three places, and if one is raided, the next castle goes out and pinches it.

That's the plan.

Can I say fortunately, Burtoghu is attacking more than one country at the same time, and the force turned by Stiges is about three times higher than this one.

They say you need three times as many troops as your enemies to drop the castle.

You don't have enough power to attack three at the same time.

Apparently, the Deltirado Army also burned their hands.

... but what happens if it holds up?

The fact that Burtoghu is sending soldiers to countries means that nearby countries are full of themselves.

There can't be room to send relief to another country, and Stiges is isolated.

Even if it holds up, no reinforcements will come.

The morale of the soldiers was lost day by day.

And the day it finally came.

Noon with rain falling from bumping clouds.

I was spreading the map with Reid in my room.

"Hey, Reid. You're so smart, can't you think of anything?

"Something? Speak specifically..."

He said, "It's like trying to connect a war station."

"If I can come up with something, someone smarter is coming up with something..."

"Oh well...? I thought you would..."

That was pretty good thinking now, Reid's guy.

Of course, he knew.

Stige said it was packed already.

When it started to get dark, not only in the sky, but inside the room, and up to us, the door of the room opened up vigorously.

It was the deacon, Reid's father, who changed his complexion and jumped.

"Ha, my God......, the defensive line has collapsed......! Burtoghu's army is attacking......!

In the rain, I held Stra back and flew out of the mansion with Reid and his father.

My father says that Burtoghu catches the nobility of the country he destroyed to show off and carries out brutal executions in front of his people.

If you were royal, would rebellion use aristocracy from big?

Seriously, he's a fucking wicked bastard.

If they catch you, they'll kill you.

So we fled desperately.

At that time, I couldn't afford to worry about my father, my brother, Mr. Cain, who was fighting on the front line, or my mother, who had been summoned to the castle since morning.

I didn't want to die, just with that one heart, I just ran desperately to live.

We climbed up a nearby mountain and hid ourselves.

In time, smoke began to rise from those with the city of Stiges, and it turns out that the enemy army came.

"I'm in, what about us? I want to come back to my house..."

"I'm sorry, Stra. Let's just go home and be patient."

"No, no, hey..."

You could only say those words to Guru Stra.

As I hid and stood still, I could afford to worry about what was happening to the capital, what happened to the kings, the villages everywhere.

The more I thought about it, the more anxiety I got, and I relied on Reid.

I counted on my best friend.

"Hey, Reid. What do we do now --"

"Don't ask me! You can't understand!!

That's the first and last time I saw Reid yelling like that.

I can't say anything more.

We started walking with astonishment and crying straw.

How long has it been since then?

I feel like it was a day, like it was three days, like it was a week.

Anyway, we keep walking towards the border, at the end of it.

"There he is, there he is!

"Don't let them get away with it!

Found by about ten enemy soldiers.

Take the spear and run desperately from the person who's trying to kill us.

The martial arts taught to you by Mr. Cain and your brother are such a fear that they wipe you out of your head.

Taste it for the first time in your life, the reality of death.

Don't talk about it, but seriously, it seemed like a shon bench.

"This way, turn around!

I guess I gave instructions to a separate task force then.

They with spears circled in our direction.

When I tried to turn back, they came from behind with a new bow and shot me in the bow.

It rained more than ten arrows, and that's when I thought I was dead.

Dos Dos Dos Dos Dos!

"And Dad!?

Reid's father covered for me.

He covered the three of us with arrows all over his body.

"Master Bulge, Master Stra..., Reid... eh, run... eh"

"Uh-oh! Whoa, whoa! Dad, Dad!!!

I couldn't do anything while Reid screamed.

All I could do was stand blurry and watch my father fall and stop moving.
