As the semester was almost over and we were halfway through the year, Rei went for a walk around the capital, to be exact to one of its edges.
The place we were at was one where a lot of children came to play. It was a park.
Rei wanted to come because there is no better place to relax than one.
Besides, this was the only park that wasn't near the capital, Rose would have insisted that he shouldn't wander away, so he pretended to go shopping.
"A hot day like this deserves a cold meal like this."
He said that as he ate an ice cream.
He had a whole case full. The ice creams are the creations of Bluegarden Trading Company, that is, Rei's business partner, a semi bald, fat, short man named Harold.
While enjoying his ice cream I said to him.
"It's June, soon the principality event will start. Well, we crushed a lot of their allies so they must be in disarray."
"You said we should wait for these events or whatever they
Dear readers, we have reached the end of arc 3 and the middle of the volume. Little by little we are getting closer to the scene I want to show, and the prologue of vol. 1 is about to make sense. Tomorrow there will be no chapter, I'll see if I make a preview today and finish it tomorrow. But that's all for now, no doubt it will be more fun in arc 4.
We met someone very unexpected. We were hanging out me and Rei in the park. We heard a growl and behind us was a girl starving to death. Her name was Oriana and she belonged to the white cat tribe, one of the many races of beastmen that exist in this world. But as humans enslave them, many of them are turned into slaves or labor. Since Oriana had no decent clothes, hers were basically rags, we took her to a store. The girl in the store looked nice, but when she saw Oriana her expression twisted. Apparently many people hate beastmen for no reason, I think it's because the church treated them as aberrations in the eyes of the god of light. In the game I never gave it a thought. Rei bought her clothes, brown boots that fit her feet, black stockings that hide her legs, blue shorts that match her tail, which we had to cut a hole in. Her blouse is white with stripes similar to a cat's whiskers with a small blue jacket. Oriana
A new morning came, Rei had his bags ready as he was preparing to leave for Norden. Our acquaintances were bidding us farewell. Oliver, Isaac, Alfred and Sig, who gave us some words of encouragement. "Please don't attack your companions by mistake." I can't tell him he is wrong as he is right. Rei would be capable of that and say "They were in my way" as if he didn't care. Eli with her servant girls were together with Rose, who was discouraged for some reason. Rei said to her after hugging her. "Are you worried?" "You always make me worry." "But it's because of other matters, this time it's different." "Even if it is!" She lifted her head to look at Rei, tears overflowing from her beautiful eyes. "It's a war. A battlefield where hundreds of men die! To say you'll be fine just because you're a cheater, it’s so selfish, I really don’t want you to go..." Rose clung to Rei qui
After wreaking havoc and kidnapping Bret, General Bodin Mont laughed out loud as he rode straight back to his camp. "Hahahaha! This is the best victory in the world." "No doubt the great me will be promoted, gajajajaja." "The general will no doubt be promoted." "This plan came out so perfect it's scary." "When we return we must inform General Lurden about─" *Landing* Something fell in front of them. Their horses stopped, a large cloud of dust was rising. The general sweating said. "W-What is that?" Through the dust cloud a shadow emerged, it was taking strong but slow steps. Stepping out of the dust cloud, everyone noticed a young man saying with an angry look. "I will kill you all! I will finish Norden with my own hands!" The soldiers seeing him proclaim that, laughed loudly. "Hahaha what is that fool talking about!" "What pit did he come out of?"
A piece of news came in the evening to the Kingdom. Joachim stood up while sweating like he was in a sauna. "How... did you say?" "... The Norden Kingdom has fallen, they were conquered and their king is dead. That was what I said..." Joachim had been part of this plot to profit, the problem is now that Norden fell under the hands of the Kingdom. His life was at risk if anyone found out about the letters he sent to Walsh. He asked the servant. "Who conquered it?" "You won't believe this, but it was the captain of the 9th Squad of the Royal Knights. Bret Elliott." "... Hey, that guy? Really!" "I can't believe it either, but it's like this." Joachim was terrified. "My lord, what shall we do about the plan now?" He looked at the servant in annoyance. "It is obvious that we will go through with the plan." "We will no longer go and stir up trouble in various parts of the capita
"I don't understand." Zekken was confused by the current situation. "It should have been easy to get in since everyone would be sleeping at this hour, but... what does this mean!" The reason he was confused was because of what his eyes were seeing. "Get the hell out of here!" "We won't let you through!" "We'll protect the academy." The students were throwing rocks like fireballs at Norden's soldiers and the Codes. The academy wall was fortified with a defensive spell. They couldn't break through it even with the conjurers they had. "Reporting!" A messenger approached. "We can't breach any side of the academy, there are no openings and even the ground was fortified to prevent us from digging... there's no way in." "..." Zekken thought upon hearing that. (How would they have found out? And, who must have been the mastermind behind such prevention?) ◇◇◇ -30 mi
We arrived just in time to save Sophia. As the mansion was being burned, we checked if there was no one inside. Some servants stealing belongings and for that reason managed to lose the chance to escape were the only ones inside. Rei used the "Sensing" skill and was able to find a secret passage. We followed him and that's how we ended up here. Joachim gave us a dirty look. "It's you... the brat duke." "Duke Redblade you mean... well, never mind." Rei looked at Sophia, she had a complicated expression. Her husband was going to kill her, but we came to save her. She sure doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, but we'll take that into account later. Sasha told Rei to put her down. "Let me get off please." "Oh yeah, I forgot." Sasha staggered a little as she never thought the day would come where she would fly through the skies. "Marquis Joachim Catley, the day has come whe
The ministers were hard at work, it had been a few days since that fateful day. One of them sighed as he fiddled with his pen. "If you have time to whistle, get to work." "It's a lot of work. I haven't even been able to sleep well for some days." "We've had to work since 'that' happened. And we even hired more staff." "There's no other way, 'that' was a troublesome thing, after all, no one expected 'that' to happen." "I want to take a vacation. I'm tired, I feel there should be a law to support exploited workers like us." "... It's our job, after all, 'that' is responsible that we have to sign all these documents." The younger minister looked out the window after sighing. "I still can't believe how 'that' was possible. It would be the third tragedy to occur in the palace since that court mage burned down the tower and that female knight razed their entire base." Everyone sighed as long as they remembered
"... What did you say?" "I'm pregnant." Rose had just dropped a bombshell, it was the kind of bombshell that would make you go into cardiac hit. Rei just found out he's going to be a father, in harems this never happens or it happens only at the end of the game, not at the beginning! What are you going to do now Rei!!!! "... When did it happen?" "I'm sure it was the last day of vacation. We spent a whole month locked up. I thought that being a pure elf, the chance of impregnation would be very slow." "It would give us time to spend more time together, but I was wrong." She touched her belly sadly. "In our current situation having a child is a bad idea. I should be happy, yesterday the princess took me to a doctor and that's where I found this out." Rose was crying, she probably thinks that by having the child of a human she will be despised. In this country, or rather worldwide, crossbreeding is consider
