CH 415

“…… Axelyrus, he’s such a terrifying guy, wasn’t he.”

“Yeah. But I’ll beat him next time. Teacher, you’ll have to train me again.”

“……”

On the way back to town in Sarge, Ryuuze called out to Tigre with his fist and palm together, but there was no reply with a difficult look on his face.

“Teacher?”

“Y-Yeah!? What is it, Ryuuze!?”

Ryuuze sighs and says to Tigre, who hurriedly replies when Naru speaks again.

“So you didn’t hear me. They’ll probably come back, you know? I think Tigre-sensei can win, but I had a bad feeling about the ones that came after him. I’d have to be able to beat them in a fight, at least, or it’d be bad.”

“The guy had a weird laugh, but he’s scary …… I couldn’t move, after all ……”

“Yeah …… we’ll talk about that later. It hurt that we let him go, but it looks like we’re totally defeated.”

Below us, we could see Jack and the captured members of the Gospel’s Descent, and Sarge was descending. Jack was going back and retrieving them one by one, and they were almost to the town.

But–

“What …… the hell is this ……!? Jack, are you okay!”

“Oh, Ohhhh, Ryuuze ……. I’m fine, but ……”

“What is this.”

“This is cruel.”

“Dedite-niichan ……”

When Ryuuze called out, the pale-faced Jack turned around, and Naru held her mouth and groaned. Aina hid behind Dedite and made an uneasy noise.

It’s no wonder, because all the members of the Gospel’s Descent that Jack had dragged in had been killed by something through their hearts.

“I was too late when I thought …… that something like a red spear suddenly fell from the sky.”

“Red ……? Maybe, the blood that Akzeryus scattered around is–.”

“That’s probably what happened. I can’t even interrogate him now.”

“But Lars said they’re in the Berias Kingdom, though?”

“The location doesn’t matter that much, Dedite. In battle, the strength and number of people they have is more important. We can’t do anything but wait and see, after all.”

After Tigre had checked the condition of the body, he placed the body on Sarge’s back and walked the rest of the way home.

“I’m sorry, I wish I could have guarded it ……”

“It’s no use, Jack-kun, I feel like maybe no one could have prevented that.”

“Dedite-san is right. Jack, it’s been a while, so do you want to practice, too? When they come back, we’ll pay them back.”

“Right. I don’t like being beaten up all the time!”

“Hahaha, that’s the spirit.”

When Dedite and Ryuuze threw words at Jack, who was depressed, he looked up and got fired up. Then Sarge, who had been flying low, opened his mouth.

“Yeah, it seems that he was going to use her to blackmail the lord. I’m glad that Tilia-chan is safe and sound.”

“If she wasn’t safe, Verna would kill me too …… so I went after Ryuuze and found her. I was desperate.”

Tigre’s face was pale, and soon they arrived at the town and were greeted at the gate by Luciel, Luciela, and Kudelica. 

“Oh, they’re back! Dedite-kun!”

“What, there’s a crack on Ryuuze’s armor ……!? H-He didn’t look that strong to me, though ……”

“Yeah, Erekhim wasn’t much, but the guy who came after was strangely strong. But more importantly, it looks like you’re done here, too.”

“Yes! When I was guarding Luciel and the others, the goblins suddenly disappeared, instead, there were pieces of paper all over the road! I was so surprised!”

As Luciel and the others surrounded Tigre and his friends and were talking about this, they saw Hauzen walking towards Tigre with an axe on his shoulder.

“It looks like you’re done over there too.”

“Yeah, how’s the damage in town?”

“There are some injured but no deaths …… is what I’d like to say, but a few people were hit by something that fell from the sky. It’s okay, because the Headmaster Libre and your wife joined the fight on the way. If anything, the damage to the building is more severe.”

Hauzen said and looked behind him. The walls of the houses on the street had collapsed, the street was shattered, and many other places were damaged, telling us that it had been a fierce battle. Then Dedite stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“Hauzen-san, the victims were probably the members of the Gospel’s Advent. All the other members were killed as well. Sarge has the bodies with him, so let’s check them out.”

“Is that so, ……? Okay. We might find out something from the body.”

When Hauzen nodded with his hand on his chin, Dedite nodded and turned to Tigre.

“Teacher, I’m going to go home and tell my father about this. I’ll notify you of the repair arrangements later, so you should all get some rest first. Luciela and Luciel-chan, I’ll pay, so can you arrange foods and drinks for us at a restaurant or at a cookery?”

“Okay, I’ll take care of it! Kudelica and Naru, help me too!”

“Yes!”

“Okay. What would you like, Ryuuze?”

“Come on, I want a big steak!”

“See you all later then!”

As soon as Ryuuze smiled, Dedite headed for the house.

As he followed the path, he saw adventurers and townspeople picking up the paper with goblins on it and disposing of it as trash.

“Lars is fighting these things, huh …… If we don’t get help from our country, we might be in trouble next time–“

After witnessing Akzeryus’ ability, Dedite felt a sense of crisis.

Two days later, after the town had returned to its usual state, the important people of the town met for a meeting.

The battle is over, and everyone begins to clean up.

Well, this is the end of the chapter on the town of Gust!
