48-048-Defeat Meguidor, then...

128 years of St. King's history, green moon, 43 days and nights.

''Heh, you guys were traveling for this kind of purpose.

Harl looks curious and is looking through my journal of the trip.

Come to think of it, this is the first time I've actually shown her the actual journal, although I had briefly explained it to her before I fought with Megidor, but this is the first time I've actually shown her the actual journal.

Looking at Haruru like that, Jupiter has some kind of delicate expression on her face.

'Are you okay with reading it?　When I saw that it said I was going to die, I was so surprised that I fell down. Even now, when I read about it, I get a shiver down my spine for some reason...''

Harl was scowling when asked by Jupiter, but he noticed something and popped his hand.

''That's probably a different view of life and death.''

Life and death?

'Humans and elves have a normal lifespan, and they would die easily from disease or injury, wouldn't they?　But fairies live through an infinite amount of time, and even wounds can be regenerated as long as their mana does not run out. And even if their destiny is exhausted, their souls remain, and they are reborn as new fairies in God's lap somewhere... That's what the fairies are told. Of course, no memory of what happened before the reincarnation remains, so I don't know the slightest thing about what happened before the reincarnation.

Yeah, that's pretty interesting.

Come to think of it, Pete, the holy dragon, also said that he was 'called by God to be a light', and maybe fairies and dragons have a similar idea.

If that's the case, then there's also the question of why humans and elves remain as corpses or become cursed and undead if they are left unburied.

''By the way.......I do remember a bit of that.......''

'Wow, that's great!　What kind of what?

Satsuki's eyes lit up at Fleur's unexpected words as she spoke to Fleur, who was sleepy in her coat, curled up in the corner.

'A different world than this one I remember I lost my life trying to save someone.... Who I am I don't know what I am.''

While expressionless, as if nostalgic about something, Fleur muttered while staring into the distance.

''Huh~ I didn't know that Fleur-chan had done that in the past. Then what do you think of Harl's actions described here?

What Satsuki pointed to was a sentence that said that Haruru had become an ice crystal in exchange for her own life.

However, seeing that, Fleur replied in a slightly unhappy manner, with no expression.

'When my sister passed away........I was all alone......... I miss you............''

'Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!　I'm sorry for nee-chan!　I apologize on behalf of my shitty sister on another parallel world, so forgive me!!!!''

What's that?

I'm glad to see that Fleur is still doting as usual, but I'm also happy and somewhat mystified to find out that she was lonely in her heart.

It's a very good idea to have a mission to protect them, but when they die, there are many things to think about.

"Mm-hm ... must be alive.

As is to be expected of an experienced person who has been protecting the sacred spring all by himself, Elena seems to be deeply moved by the fact that Harl and Fleur's situation is overlapping with her own.

But while we were having this conversation, Harle, who was reading the rest of the journal, tilted her head in the air.

"Was there something that bothered you?

''Elena shot down Megidor with the first strike the moment he appeared, didn't she?　Then, I thought, there would be no more crap about climbing the tower of the gods written here.'

Ah!

Elena gets a huff at Harl's words.

It's true that in the world I saw once, King Frost said that the wards were broken when the capital was attacked, but this time, the wards weren't broken because Megidor defeated them before they attacked the capital.

That means we don't have to climb up to the tower of the gods to re-establish the wards.

''Onii-chan, is this going to be okay?

What?

If we don't, there will be no more talk of a marriage between the white hero and the princess, right?

'Uh....'

-- The wards that were destroyed by Megidor are repaired by the white brave men, and they are united with the princess.

So such a big event that could affect the future of the Frost Kingdom, but if it continues, the possibility of it not happening has come up.

Realizing the meaning of Satsuki's words, Elena also began to cringe with a troubled face.

''Aww. Could it be that I have done something terrible?

''No, waiting for Megidor to attack the capital was not an option, and there was no certainty that we could defeat him that easily in the first place. I think that was the right decision.

"Ugh, that was good....

But I can't just leave it at that," he said, "I'll stay here for a while longer and see how things change.

I shall stay in the country for a while longer and see how the situation changes in the future. Perhaps on the third of next month we should have a decision.

'Well then, now that we've gotten our story straight.......good night......Zzz'

....

Why do I have the illusion that there are two Satsukies when Fleur is so quiet and impassive?

Thinking about this, I turned off the light in my room and fell into a slumber.

I was...

"128 years of St. King's history, the 3rd of the Yellow Moon, early morning.

It was early in the morning of the third day of the yellow moon, a few days after we began our stay at the inn in the Frost Kingdom.

A messenger from the castle arrived and announced his intentions in a loud voice to our room at the inn.

'From the king, I have an order from the king to assemble all adventurers, mercenaries and other skilled men to the castle!

The room around me is saying, "Don't start screaming like a dick in the morning! I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

I was wondering what I would do if nothing happened, but is it inevitable that the castle will call me out of it?

While muttering to myself about this, I packed my bags and went out of the inn, and as expected of the king, the capital was in an uproar with people heading to the castle, perhaps because of the king's summons.

''I see, that's Uranus the White Hero.

Elena is watching them while squinting her eyes geezily.

Probably, as usual, she can see matters such as their names in her eyes.

''Elena's appraisal (that), it's amazing as always that you can even know their names.

I've heard that spirits sometimes have powers that transcend all others, such as seeing distant landscapes and reading the mind of others, but Elena is able to know the details of her target.

"Heh-heh-heh.

Seeing Elena's happy and embarrassed smile, we made our way to the castle with the other adventurers.

＜Frost King's Castle, the Great Hall.

All those who were called together were gathered together in the great hall of the castle.

Among them were knights with the kingdom's emblem and what appeared to be regular guild members, and they seemed to be just as proud of their skills as the world they had once seen.

'Ladies and gentlemen, we have something more important to discuss than the king. Listen carefully!

When the man who seemed to be in the entourage said this, the king gave the assembled strongmen a quick look before declaring.

I have a favor to ask of you all today. Could you please go to the top floor of the Tower of the Gods, which is located southwest of the capital, and re-establish the wards that protect this country!
