Chapter 95

The current Harnette has more prominent parts than the main character, Saeran Silage.

The point at which he had the magic sword, his potential and growth rate, his origin and background, etc.

When you compare all of them, how many people can surpass Hannett?

‘Anyone can be the main character. It depends on what point of view you look at.’

Of course, if you are the main character, you must always take the initiative and be involved in many incidents.

However, if it is simply measured by the level of power, Setinos Quaysa and other demonic sword users are also qualified to be protagonists.

It was just that the person to be described was different based on the setting and content of this world.

‘Could Serran Silize be the main character?’

It was the first question that came to mind.

Compared to the original content, there was nothing wrong with it.

The demonic sword of thunderbolt, Nailling, the Knights of Silage, the white apostle, and subduing demonic beasts while wandering in the remote areas.

Rather, it was so much the same that he doubted his own memory.

‘I’m not weak, but… I feel a bit lacking in being the main character.’

Of course, because Hannett’s force was premised, there was no choice but to have a relatively large gap.

However, if he was the main character, he should have stayed at a similar level even if he couldn’t surpass Hannett.

To name Serran Silize as the main character, shouldn’t we include the possibility that he will become stronger in the future?

‘Even without me, Hanette would have become stronger on her own.’

If he had had a magic sword since he was young, he would have overcome any danger.

However, as Hanette had been treated with respect as the daughter of a ducal family, she could not be in danger.

Perhaps the level rose little by little while learning magic secretly, and the magic sword was manifested while being surprised by the rebels.

‘Hanet would have survived unconditionally. How would he behave after that?’

If you think about it from Harnett’s point of view, the answer comes easily.

He must have trained his magic while adapting to the magic sword’s power for a while.

After he was ready, he would have fled from the capital, and he would have roamed the periphery and subdued the beasts.

Or he could have entered the Order of the Knights or the Magic Society to accumulate money and build his skills.

‘Because he’s strong, he must have noticed right away. As you become famous, the Duke of Adelaira will hear the news… … .’

From here on, it will be split into one of two.

Reconcile with Robbins, or never see Robbins again.

If they had reconciled, they would have returned to the capital, but if they had rejected Robens, they would have fought the Witchbeast as always.

‘It could have been a Cetinos quasar.’

Of course, it was a conclusion based on the assumption that the latter was chosen.

Even if you choose the former, there is a possibility, but as the daughter of the duchy, the range of activities will be narrowed, so there will be restrictions.

Above all, considering Hannett’s personality and goals, he had no choice but to choose the latter rather than the former.

‘Then what will become of Shion Regard?’

If the settings and contents of Harnett are changed, Shion Regard will also be affected.

How did the original Shion Reggieard act as her fiancé, and how did Hannet react when he ran away?

In the first place, very little was said about the original Shion Regard, so it was impossible to even speculate.

‘I have to think about it after dividing the times I liked Hanet and the times I didn’t like it… … .’

“Isn’t there a problem?”

“There’s a problem, but how are we going to distribute that?”

“Isn’t it okay to split it in half with the Sillaz Knights?”

“Isn’t it related to the four major catastrophes? I have to report it to the king.”

“… Ah, do I have to offer it to the king first?”

“right. If the king tells you how to distribute the treasure, you should take it then.”

If you secretly obtained the treasure or if the amount is small, there is no need to report it.

However, these treasures were trophies obtained from the four major disasters, the Shadow Dragon, and since they were a considerable amount, they would attract attention everywhere.

Most of all, the white apostle participated in this subjugation, so the king had no choice but to know.

“Still, since there is an apostle in white, you should take good care of it, right?”

“There is also a silver phantom thief. Didn’t you contact me beforehand?”

“Oh, I see. If there are two of us, I won’t take it.”

“… Do you need any money?”

“You risked your life to bring it, right? Of course I should get it Oh, I don’t mean to take your share.”

Shion pondered for a moment and then quietly agreed.

Hannett’s words were not wrong, and he had to be paid a fair price for his efforts.

However, since he was receiving financial support from his family, there would be no shortage of money.

“Do you have a place to write?”

“There is nowhere to write. I just hate getting pocket money.”

“uh… suddenly?”

“I want to give back all the money I’ve received so far, and spend the rest with my own money.”

“… … .”

Shion belatedly realizes the meaning of the words and shows a lonely look.

He must have been trying to pay off the money he had received so far in order not to be entangled in any way with the Duke of Adelaira.

A lot of treasure came out at the time, so I wondered if there would be quite a lot of money left even if I returned that amount.

“Sister, no matter how much you hate your family… … .”

“It’s not because I hate it. I don’t want to have regrets. I have to buy a new house now.”

“A new house?”

“To live with you… You should have a house.”

“… … ?”

Shion twists her eyes as she loses her words for a moment.

Unlike him, Hannette glares at Shion with a displeased look in her eyes.

“what? Couldn’t you have been thinking about this?”

“That… Aren’t you married yet?”

“Are you going to do it later? You have to prepare in advance.”

“Isn’t it a little early?”

“What is early? Do you want to marry me?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that you have to follow the order.”

“Are you saying something like that? answer straight Will you marry me or not?”

“sun… I have to.”

“You seem to be forcing yourself to answer?”

“No, I really want to marry you.”

“Sigh… … .”

Harnette stares at Shion for a while, then reluctantly turns her head away.

He had planned well for the knights and subjugation of the beasts, but he didn’t even think about the important things.

If this is the case, even if you get married, wouldn’t it be hard for a while?

“How much money did you save?”

“… It won’t be much.”

“Are you thinking of living with me? Aren’t you going to buy a house? What will the enlisted man and the hired man do? Are you going to borrow it from your family? uh?”

“I have to live on top of it for a while… … .”

“Hey! do you want to live like that How long do we have to keep an eye on you?”

“I’ve never noticed.”

“… I am marrying this boy.”

Hannette frowned in half resignation.

Apparently, Shion only accepted marriage as a process.

If you were really interested, wouldn’t you have thought about things like a house, housekeeping, employment, and a coma.

“You really look like a kid.”

“That’s what you always say. If it’s your sister, then it must be like that.”

“Is it the same as then and now? Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

“Well… Is marriage important?”

“Oh really! are you kidding me I mean, think about it seriously!”

“… Sister, I said this, but I’m not taking marriage lightly. Your life and my life are at stake, right?”

Shion answered seriously and looked at the demonic sword Enrite was holding.

Marriage can be done later, but the demonic sword must be brought as soon as possible.

There were still three of the four major disasters left, and at this point, the third demon king would also be aiming for the kingdom of Alain.

“I have to come back to the periphery anyway. You have to gather the knights too, and you formed an alliance with the Sillaz Knights, right? There is a lot to do.”

“Are you trying to work hard from what you’re doing right now?”

“Don’t you have goals too? We have to work hard until we can be satisfied with each other.”

Shion was able to shake off his anxiety because of Harnet.

Because of Harnett’s existence, unexpected results were coming out.

Even if he couldn’t get stronger, wouldn’t Hanette be able to take his place?

“Thanks to my sister, things are going well. You’ll be able to raise the Knights in no time.”

“… What are you going to do with raising the Knights?”

“We need to raise the reputation of both families. My sister and I need to prove our skills and get permission to move freely.”

“That’s what you said last time. You have to tell me what to do after that.”

“You just need to have the foundation. At that time, my sister and I will achieve something.”

“That means it will take years.”

“I think it will be over within a year.”

Shion had been roughly guessing the time.

Beginning with the Shadow Dragon, strong Demonic Beasts will appear on a large scale.

Next year, the King of Narak would invade with the undead knights, followed by the rampage of the Chimera Dragon.

After I stop these guys, it will be quiet for a while, so maybe I can think about marriage from then on.

“How do you know that?”

“… It just feels like that.”

“You mean to laugh?”

“Are you serious?”

“Sigh… it’s okay. What shall I say to you?”

Harnette answered curtly, but glanced cautiously.

Maybe Shion is trying to set up a wedding schedule after a year.

Of course, I might change my mind later, but I would have to see the end within that period.

‘Uh… Could it become a Cetinos quasar in a year?’

Caronbelaz Continent, Deep Swamp.

It was a place untouched by humans, and even demons could not approach it recklessly.

The energy of life had faded a long time ago, and they did not even allow sunlight to shine down on them.

Bone fragments overflowed everywhere, and the smell of rotting corpses filled the swamp.

It was a space filled with only despair and death, but it was considered peaceful by a single witch.

– … Grosiran disappeared.

The middle of the swamp is agitated and something slowly springs up.

From the head made of green slime, light green eyes move here and there.

In the meantime, I tried to stay quiet and take advantage of the opportunity, but the plans I had made in advance got tangled up because the Shadow Dragon was destroyed.

– Have you been attacked by humans? kuk kuk… … .

An elongated body followed the head and came out of the swamp.

The slime trembles weakly and spreads a strange luster.

It clearly had the body of a dragon, but the inside was filled with mucus.

– I thought you would last the longest, but did you die to humans?

The slime dragon, Monzuru, looks around as he gets out of the swamp.

In order for his plan to proceed, all four disasters had to be alive.

I had to unite the divided powers, but now I had no choice but to look at the incomplete form.

– You fool, ruining my plans… … .

Monzurure changes the shape of the body after figuring out the location of the other dragons.

Four legs were sucked into the body, and even the head and tail disappeared.

From now on, he had to move stealthily and aim behind the dragons.

There would be no chance of winning if they faced each other head-on, so they intended to end it all at once with a surprise attack.

– I am a true dragon. I’ll eat you guys and make you real.
