The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

211 – 202. Another World is Spicy-5

“Go!!”

A loud scream from Frieden.

Even the guards, who had been poisoned by sleep, regained consciousness due to the amount of energy reaching the highest peak.

They all shook their heads in unison and shouted ‘Nothing wrong while on alert!’

Then he realized that there was an abnormal situation on the way, and tried to correct his words urgently, but before that, he had to listen to Frieden’s reprimand.

“I witnessed you guys sleeping! Where are you brazenly saying that you are on guard duty!”

“Sir, sorry! But we are never tired and weary!”

“Yes! This is not negligence, but poison injected by an unknown intruder!”

“We are unfair!”

Three guards strongly appeal that even if the sky collapses, they feel unfair.

But their protest only angered Frieden.

“You guys mean that an intruder appeared in the treasury?”

“Yes!”

“I will take the punishment later! First of all, we need to check the treasury!”

“Captain, please believe our words just once!”

The guards didn’t know that the veins on Frieden’s forehead were getting clearer.

In the end, Frieden kicked the door of the treasure chest with his foot, revealing his insides.

The interior was clean without any traces.

The scene that Bern had made a mess was nowhere to be seen, so it was possible to recognize that it had been cleaned up a long time ago.

“Even though this place is clean, the treasure in the deepest part…….”

“Did you think I didn’t check while you guys were sleeping?”

“Yes?”

“I checked the treasures inside and counted and checked all the treasures. But I didn’t find any problems.”

“I can’t… !”

“As you mentioned, if the intruder existed and harmed you, the treasure house must have been the purpose. But what about the result? Not only the treasure chest, but also the last line of defense, the trap area, was clean. If there were at least a corpse, I would have held you at least responsible.”

“So you’re saying we all just had the same dream?”

“If that’s not the case, you guys might have concocted such a setting as an excuse for negligence.”

“Captain, we… !”

Friden, who couldn’t stand it until the end, burst into anger and screamed.

“Noisy! All three of you showed ugliness in your sleep while on duty guarding the sacred treasury, even going so far as to tease me with three inches of tongues. As of this time, I will retrieve your epaulettes and send you to the punishment room.”

“Now, have mercy… !”

“Pull it out.”

“Yes!”

The members of the guards rushed in sweat at Frieden’s shout.

I hurriedly restrained and dragged the three soldiers who had fallen asleep.

The noisy corridor became quiet in an instant, and Frieden stood alone in front of the entrance to the treasure house.

“…… You may come out now.”

“Good job.”

“Whoa… ! I’m not used to scolding my subordinates, even after death.”

“Are you good at scolding guys who are innocent enough for saying that?”

“You can’t say you’re innocent. Even if the opponent was the master, it is a sin not to protect this place.”

“You’re sober.”

“I have heard that word many times in my life.”

Friden slightly exposed the right side of his uniform.

There was no heart that was supposed to pulsate inside the chest that had been cut open.

Realizing that he had died and that he had been resurrected as an undead, Frieden smiled bitterly.

“You lost the fight. Making you undead is your right as a victor, so accept it.”

“I know. Only he was told that once he became undead he felt no sense whatsoever. However, since all of my senses are sharp like a normal person, I have doubts about whether I really died.”

“It might be the case if I turned you into a low-level undead like a zombie. However, since I was an Archmage in my lifetime, I am grateful for reviving him as a high-ranking undead in his own way.”

“…… Okay. Thank you.”

“If you are grateful, please faithfully carry out the duties I give you.”

“Yes. Any mission is welcome.”

Friden knocked on my chest, asking me to leave it to him.

Bern smiled and poked his forehead with his finger, saying he had managed to get some good power.

Through his fingers, the information about the mission he was going to perform was flowing into his brain.

Frieden’s eyes flashed at the mysterious sensation that images flowed into his brain, but he calmly recalled the contents.

“I will follow orders.”

“Yes, I believe that you will take care of yourself and I will go back now.”

“Ah! Before that, may I ask for a reward?”

“Yumma, we haven’t even started our mission yet. What kind of reward is that?”

“I had a dream that I had always wanted to achieve since I was alive. Even though I am dead, I want to achieve this somehow!”

“Let’s listen to it once. What is your dream?”

“I want to marry an elf woman!”

“…… The reason is?”

“I fell in love with my crystal-like body, which was made from constant training and sweat. Considering all of the elven women with excellent muscles, I think elves are the most beautiful tribe!”

If it was a different fantasy world, it would have been an understandable story for Bern.

In general, elves have a preconceived notion that their personalities are damn good, but their looks are pretty.

However, Bern’s eyes trembled as he stayed in a village of elves whose gender was reversed.

“Are you a woman with strong tastes?”

“Yes, to be precise, I like female muscles. In particular, I think women’s abs are the best to the extent that they get excited every time they see them. When it comes to aesthetics, biceps can’t be left out… !”

She thought she turned a normal guy into an undead, but this guy was also an unusual guy.

Realizing that fact, Vern let out a deep sigh.

***

A month has already passed since the eye of predation was taken from the treasure chest.

She even had the idea of activating the artifact right away, but she gave up neatly in order to go ahead with her original plan.

Artificial magic swords, Hades crystal spheres, war materials, and more.

There were many things to lose from the Mage Tower, but there were many things to lose by declaring war.

My adversary is not only the Magic Tower. After this, you have to fight the red dragon as well.

As a series of matches were expected, we had to go through the preparation stage.

“Besides, this is an ideally peaceful time.”

[I’m sure you’re the only one who says it’s peaceful even after seeing that scene.]

I sipped my tea and looked outside.

The townsfolk move so busily that the word peace is overshadowed.

Most people were busy carrying all sorts of food and magic stones.

The Mage Tower finally declared war on the red scales.

The fact that the forces behind the country intervened in the incident did not reach the end.

“Isn’t it funny that you don’t even know that the true enemy is inside?”

[Isn’t it because you destroyed all traces and records?]

“I’m not perfect either, so I probably left a couple of pieces without paying attention. Still, the fact that I couldn’t find anything means that the level of the magic tower is low.”

The lord of the Mage Tower disappeared due to injury, and in the meantime, 4 elders took control of the Mage Tower instead.

Unlike the prudent tower master, the elders were rather emotional and easy to handle.

“Isn’t that why you are being swayed by me like you are now?”

As a rule, the guards and legal agencies are in charge of finding out the truth about the unsavory incidents that occur in the Magic Tower.

In other words, using Frieden, it was very easy to manipulate the case.

Through that point, I made a connection between the clan where the incident took place, the culprit and the Red Scales clandestinely.

The report of the incident reached the ears of the elders, and they were enraged and decided to go to war.

[But since the Mage Tower has declared war, aren’t you being drafted into the battlefield as well?]

“I’m a member dispatched from the kingdom, so I won’t be called too often. And even if you join the battle, there’s no problem. After all, the opponents of the Magic Tower are also targets that I have to destroy.”

Accumulate achievements in the war against the Red Scale Tribe to gain trust from the Mage Tower.

Because it kills two birds with one stone, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to become a hero of the Magic Tower.

The day you will be praised as a hero by countless wizards.

I plan to mercilessly betray the Mage Tower and tear down Fail and turn it into ruins.

“The sense of betrayal and despair they will feel in the future will be multiplied, right? Wow! It’s thrilling already!”

[Looking at it, the contract seems to be more vicious than the previous demon kings…….]

“What are you talking about, Prah?”

All of this is because the Mage Tower and Ignit fought first.

If they hadn’t touched me and my dear ones, I wouldn’t have led them to ruin like this.

In other words, this is their own gain, rather than the karma they have to shoulder.

I’m never bad.

[Anyway, your next goal is to become a hero by accumulating achievements in war.]

“Yes, although there are other things I need to do differently.”

[What else are you going to do?]

“I completely broke Aisha’s momentum, and made Frieden my subordinate. Excluding those two, there are still three normal Archmages left. So they should take care of themselves too.”

Cut off the limbs of the Mage Tower in return for helping in the war.

I was thinking of starting a transaction on my own, not caring about the other party’s intentions.

“Khehehehe… !”

“My lord! I made brunch!”

“Ah… ….”

After completing the mission he had been given to solve for half a year in just one month, Hades came back with a different face and identity.

My laughter stopped suddenly when I saw her who came to her naked and wearing only an apron.

The unintended cohabitation with Hades began at the same time.
