I put Aracelli on my shoulders and asked in an absurd tone.

Why did you do that?

Even if she didnt do anything, the original plan would still be carried out. I would have personally gone to the Demon Kings Castle and at the last moment, cast the magic using the High Density Magic Crystal Stone prepared by the wizards as the medium.

However, something else happened.

[Professor! I got kidnapped!]

Aracelli disappeared from her room. The blankets were neatly folded and even the refreshments were packed. The only addition to the room was that note placed conspicuously on the bed.

Unable to contain my surprise, I rushed to the Demon Kings Castle, and the things that happened next really blew my mind. Suddenly, meteors started to fall from the sky.

[You have killed a level 109 (+134) protagonist.]

[109 days of lifespan has been paid.]

[Your level has been raised by 3.]

[Your level has been raised by additional 2, following your achievement of hunting a protagonist who had built a strong foundation in the world using a large amount of probability]

What followed after the meteor shower was nothing but a catastrophe. The terrain near the Demon Kings Castle was devastated and overturned to the point the map of the continent had to be redrawn because of it.

Of course, Aracelli, the one who caused all this, was completely exhausted after that. She had said that in order to use the original Meteor Storm, 50% of total mana had to be usedor to be exact, 50% of her total mana in her original state, the total mana of a 9th circle magician. So, even though the gap of the magic circles was covered by various magic materials and the towers, since the mana inside Aracellis body was not even 10% of her original mana pool, it was natural that she was completely exhausted.

You know Sometimes

Sometimes?

When you see a bubble wrap, you feel the urge to pop it, right?

I think so?

I felt like that.

What the hell is that example

Is that so?

Anyway, I roughly understood her reason. Then I turned my head to the other side. There, for some reason, Saintess Lenica was glancing at Aracelli with red cheeks. Then she mumbled something under her breath. It was barely audible. What the hell was that? Is it a demon summoning spell?

Oh thank you for today

Long story short, I was able to bring Lenica back to the Holy Church.

O Hero You have challenged the invincible Demon King Kim Diablo, defeated him, and even saved the saintess!! Our church will always praise you for your bravery and strength! Fireworks decorated the sky. Flowers flew around and great festives followed the Popes word. However, I dont think I deserved it at all. After all, most of the work was done by Aracelli. However, the girl in question couldnt enjoy it at all, since she was busy because Lenica was talking to her all the time.

Hmm, Aracelli-nim. Where are you going after this? Maybe to my heart?

Ah, thats not right. Lenica was the one who talked by herself all the time.

By the way, its about time for us to leave.

Since one of the Demon Kings is dead, for the time being, humanity in this world would prevail even without the help of a Hero. Perhaps they would also be able to kill the other Demon Kings with their own power.

Hmmm, my level has risen a lot.

I wondered if the hunt would still be successful if Aracelli wasnt here with me. After all, the protagonist was quite formidable, proven by how high his level is, although most of it probably came from how strong his castle was.

I have almost reached level 200 now. Compared to most SS rank superhumans on Earth, I am still far behind in terms of raw power output and ability value. But if I were to fight one, I am confident that I can fight them on equal grounds with the help of my various abilities such as swordsmanship, magic, and all.

Its time for us to leave.

Hero. Cant you stay for a while and enjoy all the festivities? All countries around the world are celebrating the death of Demon King Kim Diablo right now.

Well, thats such an appetizing proposal. I like festivals a lot. If I can enjoy it, I want to enjoy it as much as possible. But, the time I spent in Ascanta was longer than I expected. With all the breaks I took, quite a lot of time must have passed on Earth.

Thank you for your consideration, but I must leave immediately.

Sniff Aracelli-nim, I will miss you!

The Pope showed a sad expression while Lenica shed tears at my words. It was such a common expression that comes at the moment of parting. Judging from the fact that Lenica didnt give Aracelli aggressive gazes anymore, at least at the moment of farewell, she was actually doing pretty well in my eyes.

With that thought in mind, I took Aracellis hand. The remaining probability around me was at the level where I could exhaust all of it once I perform three or four more dimensional travel. However, the time has come for me to worry about consuming all the probability at once if I didnt want to turn into a protagonist.

Like last time, I want to spend a little bit of time and use all the probability.

<You may not be able to dimensional travel much, but a few small leaps are possible.>

That is enough. Use dimensional travel to show me a world where the protagonist is huntable.

<I understand.>

The client immediately posted the title in front of me.

Hero! Raise The Princess!

#Fantasy #BeautifulGirlTrainingSimulation

#Love #Politic #Bloodline #SuccessionBattle #Muscle

Its a raising simulation-type. Its the first time Ive ever seen such a genre. Naturally, I havent studied the genre much.

Check the summary.

<Summary>

One day, a mysterious woman comes to Faeden, a hero who retired after defeating the Black Dragon King Caberus, with a little girl in her arms.

Please make this child the empress.

I will make sure to do so with my life on the line.

Now, the journey of a former-hero-turned-guardian who is raising a Princess begins!

I think the plot was about a former hero raising a Princess. But looking at the summary alone, as always, I couldnt be really sure.

Raising a Princess, huh?

What is needed for a Princess to become an empress, I wonder?

Considering that the world was a fantasy world roughly set in the Middle Ages, to be an empress, manners and appearance should be important. Moreover, it seems that dancing, musical instruments, culture as well as having excellent knowledge in politics and strategy was also important. Not all Princesses and empresses had to be like that, of course, but its still a good idea to remember that they all generally follow such clichs.

It should be fun. Shall we go?

Yes!

<We will depart immediately.>

I grabbed Aracellis hand and closed my eyes.

[Teleporting to Friedelia Empire, the world where the level 199 protagonist Ivan Faeden, the main character resides.]

[1098]

[210]

[Teleport complete.]

Fwooosh-!!

A huge, shadow figure covered us as soon as we arrived. It was the soles of some giant monster.

What is this?

Without a moment of surprise, I quickly drew my sword and flew high to block the giants kick. It was to protect Aracelli, whose mana barely reached 1%. It would immediately kill her if she was caught up in it.

Crack-!!

The giants foot was instantly cut into two when it collided with my ether blade. It seems like his level was the only thing he has, and his level was far below mine.

Kuunng-!! Kuuuung-!!

After that, I jumped at his body and slashed it with the mana-infused ether blade. His body instantly split in half. However, thanks to the flowerpots water shield, the disgusting, green drops of blood splashing from the giants corpse didnt touch me.

When the giants corpse fell to the floor and followed by a rumble, I later realized that there were two women beside Araceli. One was a woman in her late twenties, and the other was a young girl who appeared to be in her early teens. When I looked closer, a small message floating on their heads as they hugged each other, trembling.

[Supporting actor, Third Princess Yerina Friedelia]

[Supporting actor, the Princess exclusive maid, Saeran]

Hm?

The Princess and her exclusive maid? Arent their clothes too shabby for that title?

By the way, supporting actor, huh?

When moving dimension, the system had always moved me to a location with the highest probability of success to hunt the protagonist. Hence, there must be a reason why the system dropped me here.

As I slowly approached them, the Princess shook more violently while her maid quickly hugged and protected her.

How should I proceed I wonder?

However, as if mocking my worry, the Third Princess Yerina opened her mouth first.

Valiant warrior, your action of defeating the giant leaves quite an impression on me, can you tell me who you are?

There was a slight tremor in her voice, but it was not difficult to guess that the little girl had mustered a lot of courage even when she only said that much.

I am nothing but a passing woodcutter. While I was living in the woods, I had learned to kill giants. As you know, the liver of a giant is the best ingredient to make alcohol. Pretending not to notice their identity, I continued. What is a noble such as yourself doing here, if I may ask?

Even though I already know everything, I tried to pretend that I have a good eye for people. To be honest, it was pretty fun.

You have good eyesight. However, we cannot reveal our identity

I am Yerina Friedelia, the Third Princess of the Friedelia empire.

-Princess! Didnt I tell you that you could be in great danger if you reveal your identity recklessly to outsiders!

I know that, Saeran.

The Third Princess forced her trembling feet to stand up. Its quite admirable when she still did it even when theres a giant corpse in front of her.

.I dont know if the woodcutter is aware of this, but the battle for the crown is going on in the Imperial Palace of Friedelia. Of the three Princesses, only one who is the most suitable for the Empress will survive. I am a loser who has fallen out of such a scramble.but, if I have your strength, it seems like I will be able to set foot on that battlefield once again. Woodcutter, will you please be my guardian?

Is it really going to go like this?

Perhaps the protagonist also received a similar offer. Hes probably acting as the guardian of the first or second Princess.

What can I get from it?

Wealth and fame, all the power of the country, and all the precious treasures, even women and wine. You can have anything you want.

What if I cant put you in the place of the empress? What will happen to me?

Then the Third Princess bit her lip. Her fingertips trembled and then told me the truth.

you, as a guardian, will die along with me.

That was a more satisfying answer than I expected.
