Chapter 409 – Extension
“It’s possible! If you, the noble One, want it!”
In response to the unexpected answer, Jun looked carefully into the speaker’s eyes.
The red eyes that sparkled like stars did not contain a single lie.
“… Is it okay to change something as important as war like that?”
“Who would dare object to the fact that you, the one whom our black blood truly believes in and follow, wants that and that I, as the president of this country, will follow that decision?”
“Generalissimo? Even the status is the same as that guy. Do you know him as Hitler?”
“Is this a person’s name? It’s a name I’ve never heard of before, but it’s strange. “It’s a name that I feel strangely fond of.”
The speaker tilted his head as if he didn’t know why he felt that way.
And yet he keeps muttering the name Hitler.
Jun broke into a cold sweat because he felt like he had made a huge mistake.
“That’s a really touching name. Is this by any chance the baptismal name you are giving me? If so, I will gladly accept it…”
“No! Absolutely not, so don’t even think about writing it in your name! Just try writing. “Because I’m going to blow off your head right away.”
“It’s a shame. “It was a name that really resonated with me.”
The speaker, or rather the President, lost his appetite as if he was truly disappointed.
Looking at him like that, Jun wondered if he should erase his memories even now.
As for how to erase him, just leave it to his wives, and they will take care of it.
Wouldn’t one blow of Fortuna’s hammer be enough?
Well, not only that memory but other memories will also be erased.
Creepy!
“Oh, anyway, don’t worry. There will be no people who oppose stopping the war. You can tell just by looking at the eyes of the people gathered here in the square.”
The Fuhrer, for some reason, touched the stake and turned his head towards the square.
When he turned his head, Jun could tell.
Why was he able to make such a guarantee?
Tin! Lantern!
It seems as if the stars in the night sky have come down underground.
For a moment, the people’s eyes looking at Jun were sparkling with trust and goodwill to the point where it seemed like such an illusion.
In fact, trust and favor were somewhat purified expressions, but Jun decided that they were forced.
Otherwise, this romantic atmosphere will quickly turn into a crucible of madness.
“The people… Really like me.”
“How could you not? We criticized other peoples who enjoyed prosperity under the protection of light, calling them pathetic bastards who had no intention of standing on their own feet and only knew how to rely on God. Even a six-year-old child would have known. That our actions came from envy.”
The Fuhrer smiled bitterly.
The people also blushed with shame, as if they could not deny the President’s words.
And then they all looked at Jun.
They seemed worried that Jun would be disappointed in them for not being able to accept their envy properly and being busy insulting others.
‘There’s no need to worry about that.’
When you’re so envious of someone else’s fear, but you can’t have it no matter how hard you try.
It was a very natural reaction for an ordinary person to ignore envy and criticize those who had it.
Well, that doesn’t mean I can ever forgive harming those who have it.
Let’s move on for now.
The people gathered here are too wounded to punish us now.
Jun looked directly at the people who were looking at him nervously, with eyes that were neither contemptuous nor stern, but full of love and forgiveness.
The people could not bear their sorrow and relief and shed tears like children.
“Sniff. Yes, we wanted that look. And you are the only one who can give us that look. But how can we not love you?”
“Don’t like it too much. Because it will be difficult to punish later. “I understand your sadness and anger, but I can never understand or forgive what you tried to do.”
Jun said this while trying to ignore their tears.
Then the President cried out and cried.
“Don’t worry and punish me to your heart’s content! If only I could receive your forgiveness and love! We can jump into the light with sincere joy, even if it means it will turn us into ashes in an instant!”
Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!
The people follow in the footsteps of the President and kneel before him.
I knew it without even having to ask. Their intentions are also the same as the President’s.
Jun’s eyes twitched for a moment at the sight of their determination, but he soon calmed down and spoke.
“Because your intentions are false, I will not impose such a cruel punishment. Instead, many people will shed blood. And yet are you willing to accept the punishment I have given you?”
“If you need our black blood, we will gladly give it to you!”
“Good night. Then, from now on, attack the Labyrinth-Steampunk with the human and material resources you have prepared for the war. “I will also be with you in the strategy, so don’t think about doing it half-heartedly.”
“Yes, I will pour everything into it, leaving nothing behind!”
“That will have to do. President, especially you.”
Jun said that nonchalantly and stretched out his hand toward the square.
Struggling! Several people were grabbed by a third hand and forced to fly to his immediate vicinity.
They looked like ordinary people at first glance,
“Because the crime of colluding with the invaders is never light.”
Kwasik! Kwasik!
Instead of soft, warm flesh, beneath their skin was hard, cold metal.
“As expected, you are a noble person. “This must be your first time seeing an Android, and you can see it through so easily.”
“I just felt the mana of another world. I didn’t know they were androids. Going back to the main topic, how much did you know? “Is it because they wanted you to go to war?”
The reason why Lucy became furious as soon as she came to Haken was not simply because the Verde Republic was preparing for a world war.
War cannot be left out in human history.
Originally, even if the entire world was engulfed in the fire of war, she would not have stopped the war, even though she would have felt sorry for it.
However, the reason why she was not just sad but furious and told Jun to stop the war was because it seemed possible that another world’s intentions were involved in this war.
Modern weapons that do not fit fantasy and weapons from another world called androids.
There are more than enough possibilities.
What if this war was intentional by another world?
Will they just sit by and watch the war while it is going on?
Definitely not.
They will send numerous troops to the invasion route, further increasing the fire called war.
And in the end, they will plant their flag in this world that has turned into ashes.
“Noble One, don’t worry. I won’t deny our connection, but we simply exchanged what each other needed. “Those androids are just contacts who will decide when to exchange.”
“What did you exchange with them?”
“We wanted their advanced technology, and they wanted fresh blood and intestines. For your information, all the blood and internal organs we gave them were from the monsters we raised, and not a single one was human.”
“At least I didn’t cross the line. But you know very well that the sin of communicating with the enemy is not a light one, right?”
“Yes. So, I will stand at the forefront of the attack and shed more black blood than anyone else.”
Jun nodded his head as if he understood.
Afterward, the President took the lead in preparing for war, as if he would show it with actions, not words.
While preparations for war were in full swing, the Vice President listened to Jun’s help on behalf of the President, and for some reason, the Vice President’s face looked very familiar.
A dark elf with a fierce face.
Uh, maybe?
“Do you know her name Rebecca?”
“Yes, this is my daughter who left home a long time ago.”
The Vice President, or rather, my father-in-law, said just that and did not open his mouth again.
If the name of the daughter who left home came out of the man’s mouth, he would have asked about her current situation, but he didn’t ask anything and didn’t seem particularly curious.
Complete indifference.
I had some idea how Rebecca acquired hearing as a special trait.
His father may be indifferent in front of him, but he seems to be paying attention to him behind the scenes.
Isn’t it because she listened with such anticipation every day?
Perhaps the reason she ignored the poison technology passed down in her family and became obsessed with bombs was to attract her father’s attention.
‘Is it really necessary to inform the father, who was indifferent even after doing so, about his daughter’s current status?’
Jun honestly didn’t think it was necessary.
But he also thought that he was not the one to make the decision.
In the end, he found an opportunity and told Rebecca in Dowon Township that he had met her father.
Rebecca’s answer was…
-If my father wasn’t curious, there would be no need to tell him. Honey, it might feel a little uncomfortable, but just ignore it.
It was.
It’s the result I wanted, but why do I feel so bitter?
‘It won’t work. It seemed that Por was dissatisfied with his cheeks puffing out, so let’s encourage him to meet us all later when the work was over. Ha, why does it feel more comfortable to fight against enemies?’
The problem between father and daughter was more troublesome to Jun than fighting the enemy.
