Chapter 220

[12th Round] Post-processing

Confusion: You can tell by your bones?

Naturally, Trainee Teacher!

Just like me, the Righteous Hero, my sons spine was straight, and because his vertebral joints were soft, his back was flexible.

But it would hurt for a while.

Kha?!

My son staggered and grabbed his back.

You shouldnt relax just because youre young.

Oooh

Although with the help of youth and magic, you will quickly recover. After all, I only touched you lightly.

Lightly Kh!

I looked at my son again. Family meetings were, of course, good, but we could no longer put off the work that I had to do as an emperor.

My army, heed my call!

The war wasnt over yet.

Pursue and hunt down the retreating fleet of the Northern Continent. Do as you will with the men, but take the women alive!

Because Sage fell with a nosebleed, the sea began to melt. The mermaids, now freed, began to take their own captives.

Whoa!

S-save me!

Im still a virgin

My clothes What are you doing?!

Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

They jumped out of the water like dolphins and grabbed soldiers who had lost their motivation to fight, taking them under the water.

Virgins, boys, old people, freaks

There were no exceptions.

High-ranking mermaids took men with good looks and high skills. Those of lower rank got the rest.

Their fate was sealed.

Those female fishes wouldnt kill them, but they would never let them go back to their families and friends until they had squeezed all the juices out of them. At that point, theyd simply throw them ash.o.r.e.

And if they liked someone, they would leave him on a deserted island.

Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the surviving women? Asked the previous owner of this s.h.i.+p, Old Aristocrat A.

If theyre wizards, then well recruit them to our side. If not, send them to wash dishes and clean toilets.

In this world, it was usually men who were involved in battles.

However, fragile women also sometimes took part in battles. If there were firearms in the modern world, then there was magic in the Fantasy World. With modern weapons in hand, a person just needed to pull the trigger. Likewise, to use magic, they didnt need much power.

There were exceptions, of course.

And what to do with them? Send them to your bedroom? Old Aristocrat A pointed to the Heros companions.

Sage was dragged away with a nosebleed by the Mermaid Queen, and as soon as the other mermaids heard my order, they immediately captured the male companions.

The ones left were

The Sword Princess, Ice Princess, Saintess C

It was better not to mess with these dangerous women.

As soon as I let my guard down, deceived by their slender figures, I would immediately say goodbye to this world.

They had impressive stats.

Since skills and levels were calculated not by addition but by multiplication, muscular men were often stronger, but if such individuals could overpower them, they wouldnt be here now.

No exceptions Hey! Leave the underage boy with a bad back, d.a.m.n fis.h.!.+

I chased away the mermaids who were about to drag my son away.

That was really dangerous!

In a few years, I wouldve gained a hundred granddaughters.

If that happened, then my mother would definitely punish me with her tennis racket.

Son? Ready to get things done?

My mom

Chris was worried about the Sword Princess being dragged away by the knights.

She will be tortured.

H-how can you be so cruel?!

Until I unite the Northern Continent, we need to make her do the cleaning and dishwas.h.i.+ng, which she hates, all day.

Thats torture?

The boy was confused.

I smiled and stroked his head.

Instead of shaking his head in different directions because he didnt like it, he grabbed his back again and fell.

Your father is a hero.

Ive already heard that.

Thats why Im fair.

Uhh Huh?

I couldve punished my enemies, including the ones dragged away by the mermaids, severely. There are many ways. I can have their arms and legs cut off and stop the bleeding. I can take their clothes off and put them on posts, displaying them like flags. I can also torment them physically, followed by healing, until their level drops to 1 What? Isnt that what you expected?

The boys face turned pale.

Are you really a hero?

Yes. In fact, due to its shackles, I cant do any of those. Im just being used, and I hope you see that as well. Since Im ahead of everyone else, you think I should endure everything and not harm others, dont you? Am I wrong?

Well

Ill say it again. Im not waging wars.

War took everything from the defeated.

But even if I won, I wouldnt get anything.

I already had women on standby, and once I cleaned out the angels treasury, I would never be short of funds.

And the post of the emperor was also insignificant for me.

Then why?

To show you that your father is so great that Im incomparable to any other father in the world.

You can ignore the Western Continent, where only huge flies live, as well as the depleted Southern Continent. That leaves only three continents. If you capture at least two of these three continents, then you can achieve what no emperor has ever been able to achieve.

Thats kind of Awkward.

The first time is always awkward.

I didnt argue with the child and just admitted it.

What did it mean to be a great father?

As far as I remembered, my father was the honorary president of the tennis club. And he cooked well, unlike my mother, who only had to touch plates to break it.

But that was all.

I wanted my son to respect me. I had never respected my father, so he couldnt be a good example in that regard.

Moreover, all these were memories of 60 years ago.

After being abducted into this world, my memory improved thanks to my skills, so if I forgot something, it was only because I didnt care about it.

Drug Hero, whats my name?

Then I developed a strange habit.

In the 1st round, all I thought about was how to get back to Earth. Therefore, I deliberately ignored any connections in this world.

I didnt even bother remembering names.

After all, even if I learned them, they would be of no use to me once I returned to Earth.

These were just casual connections.

But I didnt think I would have to live with that way of thinking for another 60 years.

I didnt remember what was of no value to me. After all, those wouldnt prevent the killing of the Demon Lord in any way.

I can simply hand over the throne of the emperor to you, but if I do it thoughtlessly, the end of the Central Continent will come. If I, the person with the absolute right to suppress others, retire, people with a different ideology will immediately appear and become your enemies. That will lead to the suffering of the people. Plus, its the Holy Mollan Empire. This war was started in the name of Master Mollan. Retreating would be considered blasphemy. We must never stop until we conquer and unite the Northern Continent under my command.

You leave me no choice.

Im sorry about that.

I sincerely apologized.

I thought if my son found out that I had united the Central Continent, he would happily shout, Cool! But his reaction was far from my expectations.

It all went wrong from the start.

All this was the fault of the teaching faculty.

Because they messed with the Sword Princesss dreams, our touching family reunion turned into such a mess.

Someday I will find out why everything has become like this!

And my back?

Your punishment for punching your father.

When will it pa.s.s?

I can fix it, but if I were going to heal you right away, I wouldnt have crippled you in the first place. From now on, every time your back hurts, remember to respect your parents. I can only advise a mucus ma.s.sage. It will help elevate the aches youre feeling.

The Holy Mollan Empire navy had reached the Northern Continent.

Since most of their men were abducted by sea mermaids, their port was empty.

Only women and children remained in the port city.

The mayor and the feudal lords fled.

Complete chaos.

There was no one left to look after the order.

We saw how some hooligans grabbed the girls and s.e.xually hara.s.sed them.

Oh, you Kh?!

My son was about to pounce on them like an angry rhino, but, clutching his back, he stopped.

That was why I love herniated discs.

They soothed those who try to act rashly.

From today onwards, I am now the new ruler of this land and the people that live in it! The laws to follow are simple. Those who take advantage of the riches of the greatest Master Mollan will be sentenced to death. Hang those hooligans at the square.

Your Majesty, many of our soldiers need to rest. Said Aristocrat B, who was standing next to Old Aristocrat A.

Make a list of the names of the dead, and take the wounded from the s.h.i.+p and heal them in empty residences. Give the soldiers who have made special contributions some pocket money and allow them to have fun.

Have fun? That means

You perfectly understand what I mean, so why bother asking? Or do you want to hear it personally from me to be sure?

Ahem! Forgive this old man for his stupidity.

Old Aristocrat A burst out laughing.

War tires people, even if theyre not fighting. Its all about the atmosphere. The soldiers must be tired of eating the same food every day as well, so make sure to add a few more

Um Your Majesty.

What now?

Thats not entirely true.

Hmm?

I looked at Aristocrat B for an answer.

Apparently, because the food was prepared by the three best beauties of the Northern Continent, the soldiers have no complaints, although the dishes arent the most exquisite. As you said, its all about the atmosphere. Haha!

Apparently so.

There were three women in the Northern Continent of Fantasy whose beauty surpa.s.sed the rest. In my subjective opinion, everything about them except their personalities was beautiful.

Sword Princess, Saintess C, Ice Princess.

I wanted to get them to do all kinds of errands, starting with cleaning the entire s.h.i.+p, but it took them all day just to cook the food.

The Ice Princess and the Saintess, who didnt know how to cook, just peeled potatoes and distributed food

But the soldiers were happy all the same.

Its safe to say that there are no soldiers in the Holy Mollan Empire who cannot contain their desires. Not because of courage and willpower, but because they were too shocked when they saw mermaids in the afternoon.

Thats

The post-war process now was different from before!

I instruct you to deal with the rest of the minor matters. From tomorrow, split up the fleet and capture every port in the southern part of the Northern Continent to ensure the safe delivery of goods.

What will you be doing, Your Majesty?

My son and I will go inland.

After the meeting ended, only I, the First Spirit, and Ssosia remained in the office. Chris went out to check the Sword Princesss safety.

Ssosia sat on a huge sofa with her legs crossed.

Cowardly Hero, I thought you were a scoundrel, but now I see you in a different light. Youre surprisingly gentle toward your family.

Im not soft, but I just dont know how to behave.

I sat down next to her and leaned against the wide back of the sofa.

Are you tired?

No

I started all this to look good in my sons eyes, but now I regretted becoming an emperor.

What happened to the being who conquered the entire galaxy?

If youre curious, how about asking him personally?

What?

I thought you knew. He watches you all the time. If you call him now, he will appear.

Really now?

I smiled in disbelief, but

Confirmation: Everything is as Ssosia said. Have you decided to sympathize with me? You not knowing what to do with your son is so humanly. Its far from your usual personality that breaks the backs and necks of beauties without second thoughts.

It wasnt Trainee Teacher. Their mode of communication was similar, but the communicator was a completely different person.

How could he watch me?

Explanation: What a stupid question. All of the companions I have traveled with have become honored teachers. Did you think I was an exception?

The First Hero answered me cheerfully.
