#13 Their Circumstances: The Circumstance of a Certain Hero

An aerial surprise attack.

Caught off guard by unexpected means.  

“As expected of senior…”

No matter how much he didn’t get hit by the metal bat, he had learned from that instructor.  

He must know about stabbing people at the back.

The countries in the rear were unable to respond to the completely unexpected blow.  

“Hmmm…”

Next to me was Hil’s words with a serious expression, no Shuttle.

“Although support from the rear is now at an unnecessary level…”  

“If the rear collapses, enemies will also appear behind us.”

The worst case of being surrounded front and back!

In such a serious situation,  

“Why don’t you just sweep them all away?”

Mirea nodded her head as if to ask what the problem was.

“Mirea over there? Please consider ordinary people?”

The army of evil god was difficult to stop even using geographical advantages and maintaining the front line.  

Powerful strength and magic resistance. 

In addition, the army of evil god, which feared nothing, not even death, and only committed destruction, was literally a disaster.

“It’s the weak’s fault?”

“Oh…”

Indeed, the instructor’s disciple.  

A person who, like Instructor, lacks something that should be basic as a human.

“That’s right, isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

There were no traces of personality that could be found in the words, but I had no choice but to nod my head.

Since Mirea emphasized strength.  

If I denied it here, she would definitely affirm it with force!  

Anyway, it’s better to affirm than deny.  

Useless beliefs only bring pain.

It was one of the biggest lessons I learned as the instructor’s disciple.

“Can imperial troops be sent to all kingdoms?”

Although the enemies attacked the rear by surprise, their numbers were not that large yet.  

As time passed, the nature of the evil god troops could increase their numbers and become annoying, but it was not the case yet.

In fact, some kingdoms were able to eliminate the evil god troops that appeared in their own country, and at this point, sending just a few imperial troops to a kingdom would solve the situation.

However,  

“No.”  

Mirea firmly refused.

“Why on earth?”

I couldn’t understand it.

Mirea’s purpose was to catch the instructor and bring him to the Imperial Highness, the Princess.

And the Demon King was the enemy who interfered with that.

I wondered if there was any reason why Mirea, who knew better than anyone that it would be bad if the enemy became stronger, just watched the evil god troops rampage.

“Of course.”

“Wait, I didn’t say anything yet?”

What I said was ‘Why on earth?’, and the words after that were thoughts in my head, so why did I get a response fitting to the words ‘I wonder if there is a reason’ rather than ‘Why on earth?’

Was it because of my mood? Was it because of my mood?

“It’s not because of your mood?”

“Just tell me it’s because of my mood!”

Reading people’s thoughts as well, what kind of magic is this?

“It’s not magic?” 

“That’s even scarier!”

As Mirea’s abilities became more and more incomprehensible, fear began to grow.  

“With abilities like this, there is no need to use mental magic on me!”

Having one’s memories rummaged through like this was an unpleasant feeling that could not be understood unless experienced.

Moreover, didn’t this guy also try to torture me before?

“It’s better to be sure, it’s better to be sure~”

“This is…”

I had a lot to say but I had no choice but to shut my mouth.  

No, she even reads my thoughts so I can’t even think.

“What kind of unjust existence is this?”

“It’s the result of effort.”

I didn’t even want to know what kind of effort had to be made to become such an existence.  

So I should just forget it from my memory and ask what I was originally curious about.

“Leaving everything else aside, what is the reason for not providing support to other kingdoms?”

In response to my question, Mirea answered as if it was nothing.

“Because they are enemies of the empire.” 

“Huh?”

Plausible words were heard.

“Enemies of the Empire? Did such an existence exist?”

The empire was the only hegemonic state on the continent with no countries capable of opposing it.  

“You’re wrong. There are countries that can oppose it. No, almost all countries are opposing it.”

“What?”

“Not being able to win in a fight and not resisting are different things.”

Seemingly plausible words began to emerge from Mirea’s mouth.  

“I think there is some misunderstanding. I am a person who has been granted a Baron. Moreover, hereditary.”

“Huh?”

“No matter how you say you’re from a noble family, it’s natural that I know the current situation in the empire better than someone erased from the family tree.”

“Oh…”

Mirea, who looked at me with cold eyes, was not the Mirea I had known so far.  

What should I say? Does she have dignity? Should I say she’s noble-like?

“You’re saying I’m noble?”

“Oh right, you were.”

Yes, she was just noble. Moreover, a wonderful noble unlike those I knew, one like those in novels!  

“Wait a minute. I heard some strange words slipping out. Why was I erased from the family tree?”  

No matter how much they hate nobility, having someone erased from the family tree without any consent was quite a shock.

“Raina Lell Swin decided to live as the hero Swin, abandoning the name ‘Raina’, the saint of the family, and the next head of the Raina Lell family, respecting his spirit of sacrifice, agreed to exclude his from the family tree…”

“That son of a…!”  

No matter how dangerous my position could be, cutting off a younger sibling from the family tree…!  

The moment the Demon King is defeated, whether it’s family or nobility, everything will be turned upside down.  

“I told the imperial family that the decision had been made.”

“Did you make them do it!”

“Oh, my mistake. I threatened them.”  

“It got even worse!”

So what? What am I supposed to do?

I couldn’t refute Mirea at all as she looked at me like that.  

It was a moment when the minds of villains who often appear in legends, saying that they can even sell their souls to gain power, were deeply understood.  

“Hero…”

“I’m fine. I’m used to it.”  

Although Shuttle next to me looked at me with pitiful eyes, I smiled and told him I was fine.  

Yes, my opponent is Mirea. This is Mirea-like behavior.  

As expected, Mirea resembles Instructor the most out of all the disciples I’ve seen so far.

Mirea just did what Instructor would have done.

“For now, leave the story about the family alone and…”

Let’s be satisfied that I was able to know one fact in return for my name being deleted from the family tree.  

That Mirea could threaten the next head of the Grand Duke family, who is in the highest position in the empire except for the emperor.

And I found out that the next head of the Grand Duke family quietly accepted it.  

I realized once again that I should never underestimate Mirea!

“Um… To put it roughly, it’s not like we didn’t send support to all the kingdoms. There are already several countries where the evil god army has been wiped out after we sent out support.”

“How many?”  

“The kingdoms that have signed military agreements with the Empire.”

“Military agreement?”

“Yes. So that we can avoid annoying things as much as possible when catching the Master.”

So what Mirea was saying was that the imperial army was wiping out the evil god army only in countries that allowed the empire’s army to enter their territory.

“Isn’t that too much?”

No matter what, isn’t the priority to save the world first when the world is in crisis!  

“No, it’s not.” 

“Ah, I see.”

I nodded at Mirea’s very confident answer.

“There are plenty of countries that are taking advantage of the world crisis.  It’s the same with countries that refuse our help. They are doing their best to increase their power and form an alliance that excludes the Empire.”

Without any strength or ability.

The atmosphere of Mirea, who speaks coldly with an expressionless face, is very scary.

As expected of Mirea. I feel overwhelmed by the force of the leader, who has ridiculous monsters as her subordinates.

“So we’ll just leave them be?”

“They might be able to win if it’s not just a place full of fools.”

“Even if countless people could die?”

“It can’t be helped. It’s the rulers of those places that refuse us. Unless they allow it, it would be illegal for us to cross the border.” 

Mirea said with an unconcerned face that they couldn’t send the military because it would violate international law.  

But I felt that emphasizing that they can’t send them rather than not sending them is similar to what the Master would say. Am I mistaken?

“They don’t care about the crisis of the world either. They are doing their best to secure their own interests, on the assumption that the Demon King will fall anyway.”  

I didn’t feel like she particularly disliked it.  

No, knowing Mirea, she would think it was natural. A person who could do anything to survive was Mirea.  

“So they’ll have to survive on their own.”

It was a very irresponsible thing to say, but Mirea was right.  

The other kingdoms did not want the power of the Empire to expand.  

That’s why they rejected the Empire and tried to increase their power by uniting among themselves, and now they were paying the full price for it.  

However,  

“To defeat the evil god army, and furthermore the Demon King, we need to secure the rear.”  

I didn’t like it, but I couldn’t just stand by and watch the Demon King’s plan succeed.

“Who’s just standing by and watching?”

“Huh…”  

“Damn… The number one hero is this useless huh… Give me back my childhood fantasy…”

“You had a fantasy?”

“Yes. I used to be an innocent little girl too.”

“Huh…”  

What is it? It’s like saying the Master was actually a good person?  

It feels like I’ve listened to something unbelievable…

“What is it?”  

I vigorously shook my head at Mirea, who was sullenly looking at me.  

“Ugh… It’s too much effort to explain in detail so I’ll say it briefly. Why did the Demon King send troops to the rear?”  

“That’s…”

“As expected, you need to get hit by the Master a bit. A good beating with the metal bat.”  

“That’s too much!”

Oh my… There are words people should say, and words people shouldn’t say.  

I looked at Mirea resentfully as she uttered a curse beyond verbal abuse.

“You don’t even know the obvious things, so you need to be taught again. Listen up. There’s only one reason why the Demon King pulled out troops. And that’s because he’s being pushed back.”  

“Being pushed back?”

“Yes. He’s being pushed back on all fronts right now, so he’s trying to divert attention elsewhere and buy time to find an opportunity.”  

Mirea grumbled that it was something the Master had said during class.  

“Turn crisis into opportunity. ‘No matter how difficult the situation, there is always a possibility of reversal, and there are those who succeed in making it happen, which is why the word reversal exists in the dictionary.’ That’s what the Master said.”  

“Oh…”  

It seemed to be one of the things the Master had said when I was learning various things at Howling.  

And after that…

“Attacking the rear with a small force is another example. But if it succeeds, it’s not a reversal, but…”

“A fifty-fifty if it succeeds, and total defeat if it fails. And even if it succeeds…”  

“It doesn’t mean the crisis is over.”  

Mirea nodded at what I said.  

“Right. He used the best move to overcome a small crisis. But the crisis isn’t over. No, it has become an even more dangerous situation.”  

As expected of the boss. To think she was considering all of this alone.

“The Master said it’s good for us to also use methods that the enemy succeeded with. So let’s make use of the method the Demon King used.”  

The Demon King would think that we would send support to the rear because the evil god army attacked the rear. That’s why he originally divided his lacking army and heavily inserted them into the rear.  

In that case,  

“We’ll tell the other kingdoms to fight the rear, and we’ll move to the sky and strike the Demon King!”  

The sky… the sky…

“It’s easy to say, but wouldn’t it be difficult to move to the sky?”

“Hohoho!”  

Mirea smiled briefly and took out a small metal badge from her bosom.  

“What’s that now?”

“An imperial mage pass! An item that allows you to use the continent’s top mages anytime!”  

As I look at Mirea bragging about how she got it from Her Highness the Princess by telling her to catch the Master, I couldn’t help but sigh.  

Master, turning this kid into an enemy was a clear mistake on your part, I think.  

This kid is the scariest bastard, no, bitch!

“I’m not that scary!”

“I literally got goosebumps from fear right now!”

Master, I really think you made the wrong choice.
