The Reincarnated Boy’s Growth Log ~The Harder I Work The Stronger I Can Become!?~

Report And Initiation

After I became romantically involved with Priscilla, we once again came back to where Viscount Kennus is.
The reason is that Alexia and the others came back.

As one would expect, I can’t be bringing along Mei-chan and Eclat this time around, so I entrusted Eclat to Mei-chan and left the room.
It was slightly rough that Eclat was desolately chirruping ‘Kyu~’ while stretching her front paws at me.
Well, I gave Priscilla some confections, so she’ll probably feed it to Eclat.

Those who gathered in Viscount Kennus room were, Viscount Kennus; Alexia; Helen; Aerith; Ferris; Benton-san the Chamberlain; and me.

“Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness Alexia”

“Fufu, I simply went back and made a report, so it’s nothing.
Besides, I managed to hear something interesting as well”

Alexia, who says and smiles at me.
Helen and Aerith are also feeling proud in some way.
What?

“Well, Otou-sama was saying that he’ll talk about it personally so I can’t talk about it though.
It isn’t anything bad, so look forward to it, Lei”

“Ah, aah, I got it.
And, what else were you told by His Majesty?”

And then, what Alexia told us, was what I had predicted.

Firstly, the treatment of the Baron family; Baron Mangus will be arrested upon discovery, and it seems he’ll be given the death sentence.
It looks like his close aides who left the residents behind and escaped with him will also receive the same treatment.
Well, I guess it’s a matter of course huh.

It’s just that, it seems the Baron’s whereabouts are still unknown.
The King is using the soldiers and making them search, but they can’t find him.
It seems if they can’t find him at this rate, he’ll commission the Adventurer Guild and also put up a monetary reward.

Madam and family members’ punishment has also been decided; it appears that the Baron title will be stripped and the son will be expelled from the academy.
Apparently, there’s also the banishment of the Madam and the others from the Baron Territory.
It can’t be helped if I have to say but…….
I can’t do anything about it huh.

It seems the talk about the rewards came up afterwards.
It appears that Viscount Kennus, who took command during the Baron’s absence, and we, who helped on the goblin subjugations, will be rewarded respectively.
It naturally goes for the Baron Territory’s soldiers, and Viscount Kennus’ soldiers, who came as reinforcements, as well.

With this, I guess Dargris, who needed money, will be delighted as well.
Since he’s being caught between Rene and Alma, the woman who’s giving her heart to him.
On top of that, Rene is sullen recently.
It’d be great if he treats her to something delicious.

Maybe I’ll give everybody something as well.
I have to make Prisicilla’s ring as well.
I took a quick look just now, and the True Crystal was shining after all.
I wonder what everybody will be happy to receive? It’s difficult.

As I was deep in my thoughts by myself in that manner

“Well then, 3 days later, you will leave this place, right?”

“Eeh, a magistrate should come to substitute with us.
We’ll head towards the Royal Capital after that.
Viscount Kennus will naturally come along as well”

It’d already turned into the topic on returning.
I suppose Viscount Kennus has to go to the Royal Capital as well since there’s the matter with the reward.
I guess it’ll take roughly less than a week from here.

“Understood.
I shall send a letter to my son and prepare for the departure too.
And, is it fine if I just leave the magistrate’s take over to the chamberlain?”

“Eeh.
I will count on you then”

And then the conference came to an end.
A gust of chilly wind blows when I leave the mansion.
It’ll probably turn month 11 right around when we return to the Royal Capital.
At the end of the year, there’s Aerith’s matter, and when the new year starts, there’s the war with the Empire.
It’s going to be busy again.

Regalia Empire Palace

“Renowned soldiers of ours! Be the swords of our country; the time to fulfil our country’s long-cherished wish came!”

Although the Emperor doesn’t spread his arms widely from the terrace that’s in the Regalia Empire’s palace, he lets out a voice that resounds in every corner of the silence nevertheless.
The view that’s visible from the terrace was, rows of soldiers as far as the eyes can see, as though to completely cover the town, and residents who are surrounding them and watching.

The soldiers here are about 100 thousand in all.
About one-third of the Imperial Army of this country, that boasts a total population of about 5 million, will go to war.

I learned that because Regalia Empire is located in the centre of the continent; because they’re connected at the borders with most of the countries, they can’t be deploying their whole army.
It seems the only one that isn’t connected is the Celia Kingdom at the furthest south.

“Here are 100 thousand soldiers.
Amongst the Generals, who will be leading them, there are the Heroes who will help us.
I believe, that these strongest swords will open up our path! Now is the time for us to destroy our arch-enemy Nanor and fulfil our country’s long-cherished wish!”

When His Majesty shouts that, the soldiers raise their voices going, ‘OOOH!’, and a cheer that seems as though it’s shaking the town reverberates.
And then, His Majesty returns to the palace while raising his hand.

Inside, a single soldier prostrates before the throne where His Majesty sits.
Behind him the S Rank Adventurer, Gargante・Kelcious, followed by, Ijuuin, Shidou, us Hero group, bows.

“Raise your heads”

We raise our heads as His Majesty says.
His Majesty looks down at us from his throne, and then, he speaks to the man who’s at the very front.

“General Gregorius.
Take along our 100 thousand swords and the Heroes-dono along with you, and break through the Nanor Kingdom Runwalker March!”

“Hah! Even if it costs me my life!”

“My son, Delice.
You too will join the war of this occasion, and study by General Gregorius’ side”

“Hah, I will go and demonstrate my capabilities to the fullest!”

An idiotic prince is saying idiotic things.
I somehow resist almost bursting into laughter.

“S Rank Adventurer Gargante・Kelcious.
I’ll have you be the Heroes’ support.
Fundamentally, you’ll observe them quietly, but if anything happens, you’ll protect the Heroes”

“Hah, as you command”

And then His Majesty looks at us.

“Heroes.
I’ll have you show me the results of this 1 year.
I think it’ll turn into a relentless battle, but at the event that you achieved it, treasures, women, territories, I’ll give you anything”

The delinquent group makes disgusting smiles when His Majesty says that.
Those fellows, they definitely laughed at the women part.

“Yes, we will demonstrate our abilities to the fullest!”

Ijuuin represents us Heroes group and declares.
Maybe it’s because this fellow is used to it, he’s dignified.
Even though Kana-chan and Mari-chan are trembling from the heavy pressure of the ministers around.
I say that, but I’m quite nervous as well though.

“Then go! Bring everything into my hands!”

In response to His Majesty’s declaration, not just the General, the standing ministers also raise their voices.
And as though spread from those around, Ijuuin is also raising his voice.

His Majesty leaves after that, and all the ministers leave the room as well.
We also leave the room and over there

“Takumi”

, Lucy comes over.
Lucy and her younger brother, Imperial Prince Clift, couldn’t attend this time’s ceremony.
I wonder if it’s because they’re a mistress’ children as expected?

“……”

“Lucy?”

Lucy simply came to my side, she doesn’t say anything.
She’s just hanging her head.
What’s wrong?

“……Takumi.
Please come back alive without fail, alright”

Lucy, who says and embraces me.
Wai, it’s embarassing at a place like this.

“I do not want to become a widow before getting married”

Saying that, Lucy was laughing when she raised her head.
……good grief, this girl.
I too, while laughing,

“Aah, I’ll definitely come back alive”

I hug her back.
Lucy separates from me after roughly several seconds.
It’s a pity but it can’t be helped.
From now on, there’s the Generals’ pep rally, and the Heroes group will naturally attend it as well.

However, Lucy and Clift can’t attend like it’s a matter of course.
So we’ll part here.
We’ll prepare for the whole day tomorrow and depart on the day after tomorrow.
I suppose we won’t be able to meet until I return.
So

“Lucy!”

“Taku……nn!”

I kiss Lucy, regardless of the surroundings.
Lucy twists her body embarrassedly initially, but I guess she gave up midway, she embraces me once again.
We then kiss for about a minute and separate.

“I’ll definitely come back”

“Yes”

I say what I said just now once more while looking into Lucy’s eyes.
Lucy shyly nods at me with a smile.
Although the gazes around are embarassing, it’s better than regretting not doing it.

It subsequently became the time for the pep rally, so I parted with Lucy.
I’m gonna make it back alive no matter what!
