How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job -
Chapter 279
Chapter 279. The future of the Elementalists (2)
“Is it about our treatment from now on?”
Mezont asked as if he had already predicted.
“The treatment is a bit harsh. I just want to ask about your intentions... I'm sorry to say this, but I don't have to leave you alone any longer.”
This also has no other meaning.
Anyway, the castle will be ruined in the future.
Regarding the spirit myeongsa, there was also a bar where he said he would officially stop the oppression.
There is no reason for me to protect them anymore.
Officially, of course.
“That is correct. We also have regrets. I think I have to repay the favor someday.”
“That's why I told you not to call it grace...
I don't have a hobby of imposing grace on a guy.
What do I owe you for?
“Actually… there is one thing I want to ask you.”
“What?”
“Why didn't you call us to the last war?”
He asked as if he was concerned about it and a little curious.
“what?”
“To be honest, we have been preparing to actively accept the conscription order at any time.”
“I heard that. Didn't you ask our soldiers to let you participate in the battle?”
Of course, I told him to refuse with a single knife.
And I just left the spiritists in Pahilia and left to fight in the war.
He seemed a little puzzled by it.
“I knew you would tell me to join the fight without fail.”
“That must be wrong.”
He smiled a bit sadly and taught me my true intentions.
“Of course, my help to you was not free. There may be political intentions. But I didn't call you to war.”
There was also a promise with the Holy Land, but it was not necessary to keep it at the time the war was declared in the first place.
Even so, I had no intention of going to war with the Spirituals.
I didn't even consider it in the first place.
That they are not trained soldiers.
No matter how powerful the elemental lord was, he was still a powerful civilian.
It doesn't help in army-level combat.
In addition, most of the elemental spirits brought by Mezont are young people who do not know how to properly sign a contract.
I am not so heartless as to force them to go to war.
However, it seems that Mezont was unexpected.
“I was thinking of going alone at least.”
It is said that Mezont is also a person who has achieved quite a high level as an elemental lyricist.
I heard that I made a contract with three high-ranking water spirits? It turned out that contracting with a fire spirit was more suitable...
Anyway, I stubbornly refused to participate in the war with the spirits.
In fact, when I refused for that reason, he revealed that he would volunteer for the army himself this time, so it seems that he caused quite a bit of trouble.
It looks like he's trying to repay the favor.
“I was thinking of repaying the favor.”
“It only takes heart. No, rather than that, should we talk about the future now?”
“....yes.”
He too nodded as if in agreement.
“Since the war is over, I’m going to talk about the future treatment of you and the elemental spirits.”
“First of all, grace?”
“So even if you don’t need it. Mmm! Anyway, I'll give you a choice.”
“Are you talking about options?”
From the time I put forward the cause of protecting them, I was thinking about their future fate after the war.
“Yes, I want to hear your true wishes about where you spirit spirits go and what you want to do.”
That's the question I'd like to call him to discuss.
It was because the future problems of the elemental spirits currently staying in Fahilia had to be discussed in advance.
“…Don’t get me wrong. It's not really a burden to take you guys.”
“I don’t even dream of such doubts.”
Mezont shook his head without hesitation.
Leaving aside whether it was true intentions or word of mouth.
“As I said before, there is no point in simply collecting you guys anymore. Above all, for you.”
There are no people who oppress the Spiritual Commander as heresy.
Then there is no reason to protect them from Fahilia anymore.
Of course, I can never be a burden or anything like that.
With the wealth I've accumulated and the economic power of Fahilia, it's easy enough to protect them.
However, doing so violates equity.
You can't feed and sleep for free forever.
This is because too much favor can lead to misunderstandings.
Fortunately, Mezont is not a shameless man.
After listening to my explanation, I was fully convinced.
“Of course... Actually, that's why I wanted to participate. Shouldn't you pay for the meal?”
He said it with an innocent smile.
From what I've heard, it seems that the other elemental spirits are the same.
At least they're not ignorant.
“Yes, you have to pay for food to live.”
The time has come for them to work too.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
it's labor
What a tragic word.
But if you say it like this, it seems like I'm trying to send elemental spirits to remote places.
Don't worry.
Because it's not that merciless.
“I’ve thought about it a few times. At all, like you said, I also considered letting it belong to Fahilia and make it a home.”
Even so, they will abide by my decision.
Or rather, you might like it.
That's right, my city on the continent right now is truly a city that is so popular that it will never happen again in history.
However, I have no intention of forcing it for that reason.
I made the final decision to give them a choice.
“I also want to hear your opinions.”
“You mean our opinions?”
“okay. which one do you guys hope for? you can stay here It's your job, I'll make it for you. Or if you want to go somewhere else, talk. Let me replace out.”
Either way, it doesn't matter to me now.
What if it's a bit unreasonable?
It is enough to bring up the story under the pretext of war merit.
“Uhm??????
Mezont kept his mouth shut.
There was a hint of serious agony.
“I don’t want to decide right away. give me time.”
“....no.”
“hmm?”
Mezont, who had been thinking about it, looked at me as if he had decided on something and spoke.
“Actually, there was a small wind that came out of the story from some elementalists.”
“okay? what is that?”
It seems that they had a career path that they had vaguely decided on from before.
However, I didn’t bring it up first because there was a possibility that it wasn’t what I wanted, so I was deliberately putting it aside?
if so, listen
listen either way
whatever remains.
Whether it's settling somewhere else.
Either way, no harm to me.
If you stay here, you can benefit from using the spirit sage's ability.
Even if they settle elsewhere, they will feel my grace.
As long as it's not a wish that's a nuisance to someone, I can grant it.
“Actually?...”
Mezont told me their wishes carefully and without hesitation.
After listening to it all the way, I
“…Do you really think that will work?”
“yes. I also think that is the most meaningful thing for the legitimacy of the Spirituals... and for the future.”
The cause was understood.
“...Of course, if it's something that Her Highness Arell Ernesia doesn't want...
“No, it doesn't matter. Well, that wouldn't be too bad.”
Seeing him notice, I nodded lightly and readily agreed to their wish.
“If that's what you want, then there's no reason to stop it... Yes, you want to go to him.”
Of course, the procedure will be a little cumbersome, but I think I can do it with a little pressure.
Also, he has no reason to refuse.
maybe not welcome
“I have no face.”
“no it's okay. Because I understand how you feel.”
I smiled saying it was okay, replied that I would tell him the details again soon, and sent him away.
After he left, I stayed alone and smiled.
“I kind of expected it to be like that.”
I remembered their wish he had told me a while ago.
“We elemental spirits… want to follow Her Highness the one who signed the contract with the spirit king, Princess Pena.”
It seems that sooner or later, Pena will be in trouble and cry.
It seems that the future is already visible.
“…Should we talk about it in advance?”
I picked up the communication phrase and decided to tell you in advance this time.
Also, if I just leave it alone and forget it, I'll really pout this time.
A detached palace located in the imperial castle.
Originally, it was the palace where the princess stayed, but for several years the owner of the palace had to go to study abroad in Ernesia Kingdom, so it was kept empty.
It was only recently that my master returned to such a palace.
Now, Pena Amret Janil has returned to her home, which she should be used to, but she is not at ease.
If there is a reason, there are several reasons.
or the gaze of those around you.
Specifically, the emperor and other aristocrats seem to notice her.
After returning there, he was so busy that his position could not allow him to rest comfortably.
To be precise, I should say that I was busy handling the work that someone passed on and bounced off.
Thanks to that, if the kingdom of Ernesia was busy with the war against the Holy Kingdom, Pena was busy dealing with the work that someone had done and left behind.
And those things are finally being caught up to some extent.
However, even though she had a chance to catch her breath, Pena did not seem at ease.
Pena groaned as she continued to stare at the communication tool she had placed on the table.
“What? How to?”
It's been like this for the past few days.
Every time I had free time, Pena would sit in front of the communication port and suffer unknown agony.
And recently, the maids working in the imperial palace were just watching it with a warm gaze.
After such a situation continued for several days, in the end, someone worse off decided to step out.
She is Pena's nanny.
“…Pena-sama? It won't work just by staring at the communication port, right?”
“I know!”
When the nanny spoke up, Pena evasively flinched, as if there was something bothering her.
Of course, I didn't talk to him because he didn't seem to know how to use the communication tool.
It's just because Pena's behavior is suspicious.
“Is that Pena? I've only been watching for the past few days...
“Huh? What do you mean?”
The nanny had never treated the princess as pathetically as she did at this time.
Anyway, all the maids who work here now know.
“I understand that the communication port can be reached from this side as well. So...
“Wait?!”
Pena was startled.
why not?
Nanny opened her eyes wide and looked at Pena.
“Wouldn’t that be necessary? No.... In the first place, I was....
The nanny is patiently waiting for Pena, who is hesitant about something, with a soft smile.
“Even if I contact you, you don’t know what to talk about.”
“oh??????
“....excuse me? nurse'? You seem to be breathing right now?”
“It is an illusion.”
Well, Pena has no intention of arguing about such useless things right now.
In the first place, she herself knows best how she will appear to others.
‘Why did I just say that, and the reason for worrying is, like the last time, about the meaning of gratitude to Arell.
Still can't see the answer
How the hell did he even say such a thing back then?
Haven't you been educated since childhood?
Since ancient times, those who were born into the royal family should not easily say rash things.
...Of course, it wasn't empty words.
Seriously, Pena was very grateful to Arel for that.
That's why the rhyme of grace is actually sincere.
I can't deny that there may be some selfishness.
The problem is...
...that he can't handle it even after he says it himself.
