Chapter 139: A New Beginning
As it turns out, the war ended quickly.
Incidentally, this war wasn’t one brought by a conflict between humans, but rather against an army of monsters that swept in from the north and threatened the borderline.
Honestly speaking, the war situation was quite dangerous.
Among the monsters were Evil Dragons and legendary Colossus Trolls.
I myself saw one with my own eyes, and I think it was about 50 meters tall.
They were so big that the wall along the border, as grand as the Great Wall, was easily leaped over.
However, the human side defeated all of these monsters.
No, rather than the human side, it’s actually the Genos Breaker who defeated them.
We couldn’t afford to lose human lives, so I called it in by remote control and sent it running into the enemy lines.
There, it exhibited its tremendous strength……
Unfortunately, the Genos Breaker was destroyed in the battle and never moved again.
It seems that its core had been damaged.
It has been useful in many ways for the development of Luganda, so seeing it being destroyed was a shame.
Well, on the other hand, I was also relieved.
People like me get nervous when we have too much power.
I’m just a dagashi shopowner with no desire for power.
Having such an armament just doesn’t suit me.
At best, just having the 8-shot pistol or the Murasame Replica is just fine.
In fact, the government had even suspected me of treason and sent a team to Luganda to investigate.
They checked to see if I was hiding any other Zord.
They didn’t find anything suspicious though.
Despite all the ruckus, there were no rebukes sent my way.
On the contrary, they thought it was strange not to reward a vassal who had done well, so they raised my status to a Count this time.
I was even given a prestigious place in the capital.
Well, this wasn’t really just a reward.
It wasn’t implicitly stated, but what they’re trying to say was that it was dangerous to just leave me unwatched in the countryside, so I basically should live in the Royal Capital.
Well, if I use the Teleportation Portal, I can return to Luganda in no time.
Having to live here wouldn’t interfere with the management of the territory.
The aide Nakaram-san is competent, and those in our branch stores are doing well.
I have no particular complaint.
Besides, the location of the land given to me was the best.
I heard that Prime Minister Essel personally selected the land for me.
He really knows me well.
My oh my, what I ended up with was a piece of land sandwiched between two schools.
One was the Royal Academy. This is an elite school for the children of powerful nobles, and Michelle was a teacher at this school.
It’s a school that’s kinda like a combined middle and high school setup back on Earth.
The other school is called the Adventurer Academy, where many children of knights and soldiers are enrolled.
This is a vocational school designed to train first-rate adventurers.
Anyhow, the place we were given is a spot where kids pass by to go to school, you know?
This certainly lights a fire in the heart of a dagashi shopowner.
What’s more, from what I heard, the director of the magic academy asked Michelle to return to her previous work.
It seemed like Michelle was contemplating various things, but in the end, she ended up taking charge of two courses: “Fundamentals of Dark Magic” and “A Guide to Curses”.
In my case, if I just solemnly think “Open”, my shop will be built.
I can start my business anywhere.
And so, Dagashi Yahagi had newly opened up its shop in the academy area this time.
