Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 450 - Episode Ninety-Six - The End of the Story (1)

A week has passed since the defeat of the Sky God Silfheim.

I’ve already returned to the Fage territory, and today I was walking the corridors of Lark’s mansion alongside Mea.

We were scheduled to meet someone in the guest room.

“But …… I’m glad that Lark-san forgave me so easily. He’s not the type to talk too strongly, so to be honest, I expected him to.”

When I returned to Fage territory, Lark was as kind as ever.

I had done all I could do and spit on him, but he accepted me easily and almost let me off scot-free.

As expected of Lark-san, he has very generous pockets.

And just the other day, I happened to see Euris advising Lark, “If I don’t tell him more, you don’t know what Abel-dono will do!”.

Lark told her, “Even if I say something, he won’t listen anyway, so I’ll try not to offend him. Even if he’s doing something a little dangerous, in the end you’ll be safest near Abel-kun. Even if the church were to challenge Abel-kun with half the world on its side, Abel-kun would probably win. At least Peter-sama and Alta-san will say something to him, and we’ll indulge Abel-kun at best, it’s in the interest of the territory”.

This is indeed an overestimation, but I wonder what Lark thinks of me.

“Lark-san, I thought you were a mild-mannered, hard-working person, but you may be quite a cunning person ……”

Mea muttered quietly.

“Really?”

That said, the Barony of Fage was said to have Lark’s grandfather as its first generation.

His grandfather’s achievements were recognized and he became a baron.

It was Lark’s grandfather who prepared the dangerous grimoires in the warehouse of Lark’s mansion, as well as the secret meeting room that was equipped with a magic formula to prevent interception.

Since Lark is descended from such a grandfather, he may have a surprisingly cunning side to him.

The fact that a painting of Count Julem was found in Lark’s grandfather’s collection is also a little suspicious now.

Count Julem is generally regarded as a kind of bizarre story, and the painting itself was regarded as worthless by experts.

However, if the painting was really drawn after seeing Count Julem, then it could not be dismissed as a worthless occult painting.

Considering his other core interests in magic, it was hard to believe that Lark’s grandfather was just an occultist.

I wonder if Lark’s grandfather knew that Count Julem actually existed.

…… Lark was tricked and toyed with by Marias, but I guess that was a bad match.

The four great priests, Marias and Nelgliffe, were the two tops who were controlling the Riveras Kingdom under the direction of the fake Levi - Med.

Nelgliffe had given me a lot of grief as well.

If that old raccoon had been a little more wary of me, there is a good chance that I would have been tricked and killed without knowing anything about it.

“By the way …… I was surprised that the collector was engaged to be married.”

“It was unexpected …… Wasn’t that guy unhappy because Iris-san dumped him??”

…… Yes, I was surprised to hear this after I came back to the Fage territory, but that collector got engaged in the Fage territory.

It’s not that long ago that he was discarded as a pimp by that female merchant Iris.

The other party is Ela, the sign girl of the tavern “Dwarf’s Lair”.

…… I heard that he was addicted to alcohol after being abandoned, did they become friends there?

“I wonder if Ela-chan is okay ……? Mea is a little worried.”

“U-Uhn~ …… I don’t know ……”

There’s nothing good about that guy except his face.

He’s got a face that he’s been trying to make look younger with a very expensive drink called Amrita, but he’s a norks grandpa with a real age of over 300 ……

I arrived at the guest room with Mea.

Peter and Myunhi, who had just arrived at the building, were standing in line near the entrance.

I see …… so it was Peter who summoned me.

I could mostly guess what the convention will be about.

The only thing Peter wants to hear from me is about the conclusion with the sky god Silfheim.

…… And about firing the Abel cannon.

I’ve already told several people, including Altamir, that the magic wave tower weapon is not yet complete, and even if it is, I don’t plan to use it because of the potential negative impact it could have on the world.

It would be impossible to keep it a secret now.

However, I couldn’t break through Silfheim’s “Red Dream” without using the Abel cannon, so you’ll have to forgive me for that.

The only reason I decided to shoot it was for the safety of me and Mea, but if I hadn’t shot it there, there would have been no other way to break through.

It’s not just the accuracy of the “Red Dream” that is lax, it’s the world altering ability that has no restrictions, and the fucking cheat specification that will blow up the world if you accumulate damage halfway.

Kudor, who was built to protect the world, would never be able to defeat the Silfheim.

Silfheim had surpassed Kudor in pure power alone, but the “Red Dream” was also the strongest Kudor meta ability imaginable.

On top of this, he was planning a world war that would have involved all of humanity just to drag Kudor down, so once again, Silfheim’s obsession is terrifying.

His defeat from Kudor ten thousand years ago must have been too much for him.

Well, it was all in vain, wasn’t it?

“Here you are, Abel-chan. I’m so glad you came out to see me.”

“No, no, I’m sorry to keep you waiting so long, I know you wanted to hear the story from me as soon as possible.”

As we talked, we walked into the guest room.

“…… It can’t be helped. The last time I overcame Baron Lark’s objections and stormed into Abel-chan’s room, but you weren’t in any condition to talk. Mea kicked me out right away at the time, though …… but you don’t even remember, do you, Abel-chan?”

That’s right …… I had been hit by the backlash of the “Gouma” the day before.

In addition to the various body-healing potions, I thought that if I could put my body’s nerves into complete sleep along with my consciousness through sorcery for a couple of days, I would be able to overcome my suffering, so I practiced it, but when I successfully woke up three days later, I was covered all over by intense pain.

I don’t remember much, but I heard that I was delirious while lying in bed.

It was only yesterday that I was able to talk and walk properly.

…… I really bothered Mea, who nursed me all that time.

Although …… maybe it’s because of “Gouma”, I feel like I’ve gained a little more muscle than before.

But if I use it for training purposes, it’s likely to reduce my lifespan.

“I’ve heard some of this from Mea-chan and Baron Lark, but there are plenty of things I’d like to confirm with you directly.”

Peter touched the back of the seat and asked us to sit on the chair.

“Hahaha …… I’m sure you are.”

At that moment, even though the windows were not open, there was a sudden gust of wind in the guest room.

In one of the seats in the guest room sat a beautiful woman with long hair and slit eyes who had not been there before.

She lifted her fingers and tapped on the desk.

“I, too, would like to hear it from you. I didn’t expect him to be gone when I rushed back. Take your seat quickly.”

I felt a chill run down my spine.

Peter had already seen her before, and his back straightened immediately.

“I, It looks like you’ve returned from the seal …… Kudor-sama.”

When I was at a loss for words, Kudor glared at me.

“Is there a problem?”

“N, no, not at all!”
