Chapter 69 – Episode 69 – How to Let Two Crazy Female Demons Out to Pasture
* How to let go of two crazy female wildcats
Revenge was simply over.
It’s so simple that it’s almost empty.
When she heard that her mother had been trained, she was angry at first, but her anger subsided. Her sharp hair was as fluffy as usual. His father, Ozelle, was even more vain because he was usually nothing special. He was captured and dragged away so easily that he wondered if this could really happen, and Tangelo was left alone in the empty house, devastated, recalling the incident.
At first she thought she’d be a little more angry… In the end, she wasn’t even allowed to hit and just watched as she was dragged away.
‘Is this what revenge is like? More… Well, it’s miserable… The fever rises… I thought so… ‘
She was thinking of asking him to give her a beating before taking her away, but the opponent is the second prince. When he tried to open her mouth, she dismissed him by saying, ‘I can’t let you face him.’ She couldn’t even hear him ask if he had betrayed her, and she couldn’t even see Ozelle face to face, and in the end, she left. Tangelo is the husband of a warrior, but that does not mean she is free from the stigma of being a traitor. She probably made the right decision to separate her main culprit from her son in case something unexpected happened.
‘I thought I was finally done with my father, but what’s next for my mother and the commercial city? Moreover, the matter of the first prince… ‘
I sat in the office where her father was originally sitting and thought idly.
-First, mother’s work.
Roger Tripol, who had such a past, was even trained as a trainer, and was subordinated to this family for a long time… She must have been so shocked that her husband, Ozelle, who was her master and the pillar of her heart, was taken away from her, that she lay there sick and is now being cared for by her maids. It is said that she will not be able to wake up for a while because her heart is not in order, as if she has finally fallen in love with such a man. Tangelo wanted to hug her mother and be happy about this, but her reality is not easy. She never dreamed that her mother would react like that, and she even regrets that she may have made a mistake.
-Next is what happens in the commercial city.
The loud noises heard around are the sounds of the warrior and Raina running through the weightlifters’ territory and the city. Thanks to them, the matter was quickly resolved, and I was able to hear an interim report from Prince Rius. As expected, the weightlifters were said to have been repeatedly engaging in smuggling and treason through [City near Tripol – Commercial City – Empire]. The commercial city is neutral on the surface, but since it is a place where people do anything to make money, it is said that they will soon dispatch people there as it has been treated as a hidden enemy. Since there were many merchants in Tripol who had contracts with the commercial city, I asked Tangelo who would become the new head of the family, to take care of that.
-Finally, the work of the first prince.
Through the second prince, Rius, he learned that the hero was being targeted by the first prince. Also, the life of the woman who plans to marry her is in danger. For Tangelo, exposing the weightlifters at this time was both good and bad. If he had reported late and been put on the interrogation list, he would have been crushed by the First Prince’s faction and lost his life. However, even if he had been exposed, his title as Ozelle’s son would not disappear, so I heard that it was impossible to know when or how the First Prince would touch him.
“If I divorce, my life will be saved… But my child is already in the hero’s womb… No, if I ask for a divorce, will I die at the hands of the hero this time…”
Muttering… Muttering…
I placed my forehead on the desk in my office thinking that I was in dire straits.
“First, Prince Rius’s faction said they would protect him, but… Uhm…”
Prince Rius said this:
『The entire knights saw that the warrior was pregnant, and her stomach was swollen. When I’m done, I’ll return to the royal capital and report the pregnancy to my brother, so don’t worry. No matter how blind a fool he is, he would never do something excessive to a woman with children. As a younger brother, I don’t want to see my arrogant older brother shaking his butt against a widow.』
Then he laughed heartily and declared that he would come back when he was done. Thanks to the hero and Raina, the suppression itself was quick, but the interrogation and investigation are still ongoing, so it looks like they are busy as well. The weightlifters were immediately repatriated to the royal capital as soon as they were caught, and it was decided that the empty territory would be managed by an agent in the name of the prince and divided among those who had contributed in the previous war. Later, Tangelo will also be called to the royal capital for questioning, but it is only a courtesy and a safe interrogation is scheduled in the name of Prince Rius and the warrior.
“Royal capital… Prince… Demon Lord’s army… Empire… Commercial city… Mother… Hero…”
Even though he did it because he wanted to, it’s a model he doesn’t like at all. In the end, she spent the dawn in such a state, and when the next morning came, loud footsteps were heard in the mansion where no one was present except the maid. Now that the binge-drinking that lasted all night has finally subsided, it is easy to guess who is coming.
“Tangelo~! We’re here~!”
“Ahahaha~! It’s been a long time since I had fun~!”
As expected, it was two people.
What on earth did she do? Her whole body is covered in dirt and blood, and she is so excited that she is giggling.
“Welcome. You both did well. But what about Prince Rius?”
“Rius is still at the base and is only interrogating important people in advance. We have returned after subduing each territory.”
Hehe… Hehe… Wow, people were flying around all over the place~! Those guys must have heard that soldiers were coming from the royal capital and prepared in advance! Ahaha! It was fun! Right?! You had fun too?!”
“It’s been a while since I warmed up a bit. Bowling with a cannonball was a good exercise since I’ve been stressed lately.”
“That’s right! That was funny! A person flying away!”
Haha~! Uhuhu~!
When Reina laughs vulgarly, Hero also laughs higher than usual. He killed a number of people, so the tension should be high. In response, Tangelo expressed his admiration for the new side of the warrior. She was always kind, but merciless to her enemies, and she held her in high esteem, calling her a hero.
“Did Tangelo do something too?”
“Me?”
“I heard you got annoyed at the prince because you couldn’t hit your father?”
“Ah, that… It would be much more painful to be taken to the royal capital and interrogated than to hit me once, but… What can I say… After all, if you don’t hit me directly, your heart will be crushed, right? So I said a few words, but as expected, I wasn’t allowed… After I cooled down and thought about it, I thought about the topic. I must have done something stupid to get annoyed at the prince~!”
“I know that feeling~! I know~!”
“It’s not that I don’t know how you feel, but it would be difficult if you accidentally hit him and kill him, so Prince Rius has a point.”
Nod.
The opinions of the warrior and Raina were divided, but Tangelo did not care and made an impression.
“I know. So I stayed alone until you guys came back… How was it?”
“I just told you. I blew it all away.”
“Boom boom~! Boom boom~! I heard it was fun! You should have seen it too! Haha!”
“No, that’s not it… What about that story? I became deeply troubled after hearing this whole story… About the first prince…”
“Ah… That…”
Fortunately, Prince Rius seemed to have given her some advice as well, and her hero also nodded deeply.
“I heard that he was almost assassinated? When I heard that story, I thought about flying and destroying the castle, but I barely held back?”
“… Are you that angry?”
“I would like to ask you the opposite, but why is Tangelo so calm? It looks like a switch went off again… Are you already relaxed because the work is over?”
“Because people use physical strength to get angry… I guess it feels like my father was taken away, and his anger has been extinguished… I’ve been maintaining this crackling atmosphere lately, and right after my mother collapsed, I was also in a daze… Phew…”
The thing about humans is that they don’t change that easily.
“I see… So, you’re saying I’ll be in a more energetic mood later when I get my energy back? Then it’s okay. Either way, it’s the Tangelo I love.”
“Ugh… Salting in front of me is a bit…”
“Raina, I heard there’s someone you like too! Then you know how I feel~!”
“I don’t know what’s going to happen there! Anyway, don’t even think about dragging me into my love story, just get to the point. That’s why I came right away without even washing up.”
“Oh! That’s right!”
“… Bottom line?”
He placed his shoulder on her back and arrogantly asked her what the hell was going on, but the hero simply made a fuss without taking any action.
“I received a suggestion from Prince Rius himself that, if it were okay, I could go to the commercial city and investigate in advance.”
“Why heroes instead of knights?”
“The commercial city is involved in most of this, and they will eventually have to dispatch an investigation team, but they said it would take some time and seemed to want to send us in advance. I didn’t mind agreeing with them, but now I am not alone, but Tangelo’s wife. That’s why I refused for now because I need your permission. The house must be like this, so it’s so lonely if you’re alone, right?”
“But you’re a hero. Are you putting me first instead of doing your duty?”
“Is it a bad thing to prioritize the people you love?”
“No, it’s nice to be loved… But I feel like I did something bad to Prince Rius…”
He scratched his forehead, wondering if he would be hated even by the second prince.
“Then what about Teacher Raina?”
“I can fly right away, but unfortunately, being smart is not my specialty. No one else knows that, and both of these people know that, right? Even if I were to enter a commercial city, do you think I would be able to do that well? There would definitely be trouble. ?”
“… Ah.”
“That’s right…”
The reason why I asked the hero is very simple and clear.
The second prince was truly a wise man.
“Hmm… So, I was asked to go to the commercial city and sort things out… What do you think, Tangelo? If you say no, you will stay in Tripol. I know that you are asking too much, so I won’t make an issue of it.”〈 Br〉
‘You can do anything with words. Even if you don’t make an issue of it, getting your feelings hurt is a separate issue.’
He is the son of the main culprit who already committed the crime. The thing that protects Tangelo is the name of the hero and the second prince. So there is no choice. Even if you are pampered and hold the hero in your arms, you never know how you will be dragged out if you are hated by the second prince.
‘Because you did a good job with the first prince’s information… ‘
Nod.
“I’ll allow it. I’ve thought about it for a while, but there’s no reason to refuse.”
“What, is that really okay? You and the hero are practically newlyweds.”
“Even so, I can’t keep the hero captive because of my greed. I have a child, so even if we don’t formalize it, she’s the same as my wife. I’m not the type to go somewhere and do nonsense, so there’s nothing to be anxious about, right? Besides, unlike other families, this one has dark elf maids. Since they remain, I’m going to use them as my hands and feet to try to organize Tripole.”
“Is it Noah… Where is he now?”
“I’m dealing with merchants who have ties to the commercial city. Especially the ones who are behind the scenes. Unlike those two, I worked there before the prince came, so it’s time for me to return…”
“That long? Didn’t you know you stayed up all night for a few days? Wow… He’s stupid and perverted, but he gets the job done well…”
“That’s right. If it’s Noah, I think I can trust him.”
The warrior nodded with an expression of understanding, and Tangelo added to this story.
“Then, the hero, ask me to investigate the commercial city with Teacher Raina. You can come back at any time after the work is finished. I don’t worry because it’s the two of you, but if there’s any danger, I hope you run away immediately and don’t do anything that will put your chastity in danger. I have a strong desire to be exclusive. So, if something happens to the warrior’s body, he might go crazy.”
“Just hearing what happened to my mother was such a mess, I can’t stand it when a warrior is insulted by someone.”
“Teacher Reina, please be careful and don’t laugh. If you are enjoying being raped and all that and end up harming the hero as usual, even if you are a teacher, you will be angry. This is a very important matter related to the Demon Lord’s army, so please take it seriously. You know what I mean. ?”
“Why would you say something like that to a party of heroes? That might be a bit of a joke, but…!”
“─Somewhat?”
“I understand~! I’ll be careful not to cause trouble to the hero!! Chiit~!”
“Okay. I’ll be careful too. Even if I get caught up in it because of Raina, I’ll resist as much as I can… So that’s okay, right?”
“… Yes.”
All Tangelo can offer is this advice. Prince Rius would inform the two of them of the detailed schedule and outline of the operation, and judging by the atmosphere, it looked like they would both leave right away, so I watched them leave the room with an expression of regret.
‘At the earliest, lunch or dinner today… If we’re late, we’ll leave tomorrow morning… I really want to spend one night with you, but I can’t afford it… ‘
There is a lot of headache for him, such as the story of the prince trying to kill him and the problem of his fiefdom, so he can’t afford to do that. As expected, Noah, who had finished work with the hero and Reina leaving the room, threw away a pile of documents without even hiding her tired face.
“Is this…?”
“It is a document containing the information needed to organize the territory, including merchants, guilds, escorts, clients, and others who interacted with the empire.”
“Are you going to look at all of this and make a judgement?”
“Yes. Please do it as quickly as possible. If you don’t deal with it now while Prince Rius is here, it will come back later as a blade of betrayal.”
“This… I won’t be able to sleep for a while…?”
“Heh, is that so? I’m the opposite.”
─Boom!
With those words, Noah couldn’t stand her fatigue and fell behind her. It looks like he tried too hard to be forgiven for something he did in the past. Thanks to her devotion, she has no time to worry about the estate issue even though her lover is leaving. As Noah said, if Tangelo does not personally sort out who to keep and who to dispose of, there will be problems in running the territory in the future…
‘The hero is different from Teacher Raina… Since she asked so, she will take care of her chastity… ‘
Even though she knows very well how vain that belief is, her foolish husband devotes himself to the affairs of the estate, even brainwashing himself.
Does he know?
In the end, she ended up leaving the ‘genius Majo’, who was comparable to Raina, to the outside world…
‘Warrior… I’ll believe you… ‘
It was a completely meaningless belief.
