Chapter 478 Black Tea is a Restorative Medicine

Is there something wrong with my ears? I felt like Vakala said something impactful.

Sorry, what did you just say?

Well, Im thinking of having the girls destroy the Elderado Great Empires as the trial. You see, they have been invading my territory frequently these days. My men can handle them without me having to come out, but they are still a nuisance, arent they? I think its time to give them a good beating.

Dont ask something like that as if asking us to do an errand.

Oh, is it a no? Is it too much to ask?

Vakala looks like hes fooling around, but hes serious about it. No matter how cheerful and good-natured he may be, he is still a demon king at heart. He completely ignores human ethics.

Fumu, its a nice weather today, isnt it? Bulk, dont you think it will feel good to have tea while bathing in the sunlight?

Yeah, thats right. Lets do that when the tea comes. Im looking forward to it.

The two old men completely decided to pretend that they didnt hear it and they began to look at the scenery at the distance from the window. Considering the contents, I would do the same if I could. I want to ignore it if it werent my problem.

To be honest, Marias trial was more troublesome than this one. However, the Elderado Great Empire is a country ruled by humans. No matter how evil they are, I cant let the girls do such a foolish thing as destroying a human country.

I mean, I wont make it in time for the preparations. Its fine if its just a local criminal organization like the Ash Rope, but Elderado is too big. Also, I dont want any unnecessary resentment. After all, Im a pacifist.

Dont worry, I dont intend to leave everything to you. I just want them to fight as members of my country. I promise that I will take full responsibility for everything caused by the disturbance.

Oh, its a different story if thats the case. Lets discuss it right away.

But at the same time, Im also a realist. As much as my disciples do their best, I have to find a common ground and land on it. To get along in the world, even a pacifist has to use some dirty means.

Hey, did you hear that, Bulk? Thats the Black Iron. You should be careful.

I see. Hes competing with the Great Eight Demons like that, huh? His wiles are terrifying.

Hey, you old men over there. I thought you were pretending not to hear it.

Hohoho. I thought you were hesitating because the opponents are of the same race as yours, but you dont care about that at all, huh?

Haru is so merciless that her eyes will sparkle when it comes to taking down bad guys, and Touko wouldnt have a problem since she has the experience of dealing with Toue Akira. Im not sure about Chinatsu, but well, I guess she will manage somehow. Our training is not so soft that they will hesitate because of that. But Vakala, isnt the condition of destroying Elderado a little too vague? A nation as large as Elderado has a lot of soldiers. It is not realistic to annihilate all Elderados forces. I want a more specific goal.

If thats the case, hmm. Then, how about clearing the trial by taking the emperors head? Its simple, clear, and easy to understand, right?

Is assassination allowed?

No assassination. Even my army reads the mood and fights head-on every time.

That said, its not going to be a battle between armies, right? Since we will be fighting with a small number of people, we have our own way to do it. In the first place, where are we going to start it? If the situation isnt clear, we cant make any strategy at all, you know?

Then, how about this? You let my subordinate accompany you

Both of us come up with plans to adjust the trial. As a reminder, Im not doing this for fun. Were exchanging proposals, where Im trying to make it more beneficial to the girls and Vakala is trying to make it more interesting. This is the battle before the trial, so to speak. Kukuku, Im sure Vakala is enjoying this as well, but Im going to take advantage of his conceit.

Hes making an evil face, huh? Im already old, so I cant really hear what they are talking about, but Deris is making an evil face.

I also cant hear what they are talking about, but my head is starting to hurt. But hey is it okay to keep ignoring it?

Well, we cant hear it, so it cant be helped.

Theres nothing they can do, but Bulk seems to be remorseful. I wish Gramps Gior over there would behave a little like a head of the guild.

But.

No. If we intervene carelessly, the guild might disappear at worst. If so, the best way is to have Deris, who has a bad face, do his best. His face might be bad, but Im sure he will find a good compromise. His face is bad, though!

Hey, are you gradually saying I have a bad face in a different meaning? Not only your ears, but have your eyes gone bad too?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was after midnight when we returned to the castle after our negotiations with Vakala. After returning, I immediately collapsed into the bed in the guest room that was prepared for me (in the same room as Nell).

Im so tired.

I didnt expect the discussion to continue until this late, and I was very exhausted. This is why I dont want to deal with an undead who never gets tired. In the end, the study session ended up being a mess. Seriously, please dont come without an appointment. If it werent for Haru and Toukos tea, I might have collapsed halfway through. I mean, the tea had a medicinal effect.

So, why are you lying down, Nell?

Arent you the same? What were you doing until this late?

Nell is lying on the bed next to me. I dont know the cause, but she looks just as tired as I am.

Its unusual for you to be so exhausted, Nell.

Right back at you. Jeez, my head hurts.

We explained what happened today to each other in a languid tone. Apparently, Nell got tired because she was accompanying Maria, a problem child, all day long. The same was true for Chinatsu and Clarius, who were also present. Yeah, well, its certainly hard to be with Maria all day.

I guess it wasnt peaceful for Deris too.

Yeah, I didnt expect him to visit the guild.

So, will Vakalas trial go well? Youre that exhausted, so there should be some good results, right?

Yeah. I did my best.

Hey, is it really going to be okay?

Visit . for a better_user experience

Its okay, Im sure the future me will do something by that time. Thats why Im going to rest today. I dont have the energy to do anything, of course. So, good night.

The 74th day of training is over.
