Chapter 268

(268) Epilogue

Translator: Tseirp

The war ended .

We were heading to the town near the Great Forest where Shumei used to live .

Thankfully, the fire did not reach that area and news that the war had ended reached the town as well so the town was tranquil .

The house she used to live in was currently the town mayor’s residence for his family so Shumei and I spent a night in the town inn .

Even though we spent the night in the same room, contrary to Neete’s imagination, nothing happened . We rambled on about her memories of the town, how she met Rarael there and the horror stories of the mansion servants .

Then, I told Shumei the secret I was keeping .

“I see, so Ichinojo-sama was actually a quasi-n.o.ble from the s.h.i.+raraki Kingdom . ”

“Yeah . Sorry for keeping quiet about it . ”

“It’s okay, I kept a lot of secrets as well . ”

We were able to come to an agreement as both of us kept secrets from each other .

“And so, will this be okay? The Great Forest has been burnt down so in terms of food …”

“The war with the s.h.i.+raraki Kingdom has ended so trade should reach here as well . Furthermore, the army has sent a notice that a large plantation would be set up in the former site of the Great Forest . This country’s food situation would probably take a turn for the better from now on . ”

“ … Is that so — That’s ironic . ”

Speaking of irony, the inland sea that suddenly appeared in the desert was treated as the curse of the Dark-Elves . Even though rather than a curse, it was a miraculous sea that defeated the Greater Spirit .

“Yes — um, Ichinojo-sama . Please take care of the Dark-Elves . I wish you the fortune of war in your journeys . ”

“Yeah, you take care too, Shumei . ”

We said our parting words fairly quickly .

However, that was a given .

The communications from this town’s Adventurers Guild informed His Highness The Prince that Shumei was located in this town . The army escort would arrive soon to protect her .

She betrayed this country and helped the Dark-Elves .

But there was no longer any evidence that she betrayed this country .

She would remain in this country as a princess .

“Don’t lose to adversity . ”

“Yes, no matter what happens, I will be able to do my best whenever I recall the events that transpired this time . ”

“Yes, after all, you protected what you wished to protect with your own strength . ”

My advice to her to have confidence in herself caused Shumei to smile and nod .

The next day, I left the town alone and ran through the desert to chase after Marquis Yutings .

Naturally, I could not catch up in just one day so I returned to My World .

“Master, do you have anything to say?”

Pionia was waiting there with an imposing pose .

A large portion of the sea that she was maintaining was ruined . It was a given that she would be angry .

“I am reflecting on it but I do not regret it . Sorry . ”

“Are you truly reflecting?”

Of course, I should have obtained her permission before doing so .

But I probably would have done the same thing even if she did not give her approval .

“Pionia-dono, please forgive Ichinojo-sama . Ichinojo-sama’s act was a n.o.ble one . ”

Rarael’s help came in a timely manner .

I guess I’ll be able to get through this … or so I thought but my arm was firmly locked by Rarael .

My upper arm was firmly fixed in between Rarael’s breast .

Eh? What’s going on?

“And so, Ichinojo-sama, let’s visit the hot spring together . ”

“Eh?”

“Today, I am not the Dark Elf Chieftain . I have been officially chosen to be Ichinojo-sama’s caretaker . Please let me take care of everything . According to Neete-dono, Ichinojo-sama immensely enjoys having your back washed with breast . ”

“Wa-wait, eh!?”

No way, if Rarael washed my back with her full breast, my mental reasoning might collapse .

In fact, my upper arm was already screaming in joy .

That was when I noticed Neete looking at me in amus.e.m.e.nt .

“Hey, Neete, what kind of things have you been corrupting Rarael with!”

“Nothing, Master is too virtuous so I thought master should spend a night with a girl you like . ”

“What the h.e.l.l are you thinking!”

“Well then, let’s go, Ichinojo-sama . ”

Rarael took my hand and walked toward the hot spring .

This woman as well, after hearing the exchange between Neete and me, she should have understood that she was deceived .

How inflexible .

s.h.i.+t, my heart has already decided that Haru, Haurvatat would be my partner! Come back, Haurvatat —

In the end, although the enjoyable experience of having my back washed with breast was not put into practice, I realized that including Rarael, numerous Dark Elf names were added to my Home Return list so I was even more troubled .
