TENKEN 661 What Happened After

It had already been ten days since the great magic beast was defeated.

Weena Rhyn――or Weena’s handling of the aftermath is now complete. Although the feudal lords and adventurer’s guilds in the area are the ones who actually take action, Weena was the one who gave the various instructions.

Many were astonished to see her changed appearance, but her influence seemed to be much the same.

It may be because her power is not yet known to have been greatly weakened, but it is probably due to her past record.

Also, the fact that she had defeated that great magic beast that was visible from the town seemed to have helped increase her influence even more.

The adventurers, for example, looked at her like she was a hero. They were in complete obedience to her instructions.

When she had finished giving some instructions, she handed over the work to the government officials who had been dispatched, and Weena returned to the academy.

The officials really wanted her to stay, but they couldn’t force her to stay. In the end, they had no choice but to let Weena go.

We were also able to return to the academy with Weena after completing a few quests for reconstruction.

The academy was also in an uproar over Weena’s appearance, but as expected, things seemed to have calmed down after two days. Normally, the students don’t have much contact with Weena Rhyn, and when it’s explained to them that there’s no problem, they probably think that there’s really no problem at all.

The teachers still can’t seem to get used to it, but I guess they’ll have to learn to accept it over time.

Well, it doesn’t matter to us who will be leaving the academy soon.

「So, you’re sure you want us to keep Zelos Reed?」

「Nn」

Now we were discussing with Weena and the others about the treatment of Zelos Reed and Romio.

This had been bothering me as well.

I wondered if the contract would be okay with Weena becoming weaker, but she said there would be no change to the contract that was already signed. In other words, the academy’s defense will continue to be ironclad. Even Rhyn is going to be a part of it.

「You saved my life this time. Thank you」

Weena bows her head deeply.

Her tone has not changed at all from when she was still Weena Rhyn. However, there is clearly a change inside.

The instability that I had felt before was gone, and I could listen to her with some peace of mind, as if she was mentally stable now that she was no longer two souls in one body.

I think she’s back to being the real Weena.

「It’s just that I’m struggling to find the right rewards」

「Not money?」

「I’ll give you money, of course. But I’m not going to just say thank you after all the help I’ve received. I’m going to pay you what you deserve」

「Oo~」

Fran’s eyes light up at Weena’s words. It’s a reward that a very important person like her would say is worthy. It seems to be quite promising. I think Fran understands that.

「What’ll you give me?」

「For the time being, let’s start with the reward I promised you first」

「Promised?」

「Yeah, you remember that, don’t you, Sword-san?」

『Oh, you mean that. Of course』

「I see」

Fran seemed to remember too. Well, how could I forget.

「I’ll give you information on intelligence weapons that didn’t go crazy」
