216 199. Negotiations?
"... Ugh, your body is finally back"
I gooper my right hand to see what I feel. This is the third day I wake up from sleep. I also got used to losing this mind unwillingly, so I got used to putting my body's senses back together.
But my right arm moves without any discomfort at all. Even right after I woke up, my right arm was moving so normally that I forgot it had been cut off.
Originally, if I tried to cure the cut arm, etc., there was only one way to use the cut arm to connect and cure it with water magic, but my arm was back on track thanks to Chanel's title, "The Cure." Chanel said you used my cells to create them from scratch.
I remember when I stroked my head around to thank him and he said "coon" and hugged me. You're a dog! I almost said that, but Chanel seemed happy, so I kept stroking her. I would have waved so much that I thought I might cut a thousand if it had a tail on it.
What surprised me more than that is my right eye. Chanel didn't cure this one, but I could see it.
Usually both eyes have the same color, but when magic is shed, the color of the right eye changes to purple. I wonder, I look at the status, and when I see it, it's there.
Predictive Eye: You can see what happens in the future a few seconds away. Automatic activation in case of danger of the holder. (I can't give you protection, but strengthen your lost eyes and return them. from Astel the Goddess)
There was something to say. I didn't expect you to get that far. When I saw what it was like, my head got messed up.
Because many futures that could not have been seen came into my head at once. There were multiple seconds ahead, five seconds ahead and ten seconds ahead, and before the branching, the branches split, and a hell of an amount of information came to mind. Because of that, I fell drunk without my head processed with it.
Therefore, if you specify to watch the opponent's movements a few seconds away and let the magic flow, you can manage to suppress the amount of information. I still can't use it much because my eyes hurt when I use it too much. I would be strong if I could use it.
For now, Alexia, Chanel and Krona are the only ones who know they have demonic eyes. I've been wearing my eyelids invisible before, but suddenly it's unnatural to see them.
Chanel is asked to match the back of her mouth so that she can heal herself. Because I didn't think Alexia and Krona needed to hide it because they were fiancées.
Then, Astel, the goddess, gave me the keys in her trouser pocket. It's so divine and glowing that you can look directly at it. I quickly put it in the item ring. There was an atmosphere that seemed to have some impact even if I kept it out too much.
In the meantime, she said if Astel the Goddess was right, you could tell by asking the Dragon King. Mr. Levin or Mr. Hilde, I have to ask around Anima somewhere.
That's how I check my body, the sound of knocking on the door. The person who came in without waiting for my reply is naturally Alexia, who can do that.
"Ray, are you ready?
"When I say prep, it's all in the item ring."
When I say so, Alexia gives it back with a laugh, too.
Today is the day to leave the Empire. If it's true, we should also attend the Emperor's funeral, etc., but there's something about the Demons, and now that we've declared war, we don't know when they'll attack us. So as far as I'm concerned, I want to make quick contact with a sealed country.
I will now go and say no to the current emperor, Emperor Rosbell, to talk about it. Then we have to talk about the demons.
On the day I woke up, I told Alexia and the others about the seal Astel had told me and the craftsman had been taken over by the demon gods. They were all surprised to be able to talk to Astel, the goddess, but they managed to believe me.
I don't know if Emperor Rosbell will believe that story, but we can't just not talk about it.
Then, I made a reservation in advance, so I head to Emperor Rosbell. It's only natural that we should be heading there. They wore it out with corpses and blood, but Emperor Rosbell ordered it to be fixed as soon as possible. Now they're like new.
And walk with Alexia for a few minutes. It came during a glance. When the soldiers look at us, they open the door. When you go inside as usual, there are still nobles on both sides of the street as usual.
I will walk straight to my fixed position and stand still.
"Ray?"
"You! Why don't you kneel!
The new Chancellor yells at my attitude. But I ignore it. What we're about to talk about is selling fights to the Empire. The impression sucks anyway. Then I will threaten you with dignity.
"... why didn't you kneel?
Then Emperor Rosbell walks into the room, but he sees me standing, and he talks to me, including a little anger.
"That's because I felt no need to kneel."
"What?
"Does this country make me kneel, the benefactor of my life?
If I say so, the nobles around me will be. With this declaration of war, if I hadn't come forward, the Empire would have been almost destroyed. The Seven Demons pulled it off on the way, but without me, the dragons would have attacked.
"... okay. Keep talking, but good. So what are the requirements?
"Oh. I'm gonna tell you what I heard from Astel, the goddess."
Surprised by my words together. I'll talk to you without worrying about it. That Kaido was taken over by the demon gods. The goal of the demons is the resurrection of the demon gods, to unseal the seals that are in other countries. That countries have to work together to do this, etc. I talked to him.
"... a message from Astel the Goddess"
"Oh. The only way to do that is for the rest of us to cooperate. You won't be able to fathom someone in one country."
When I said that, Emperor Rosbell laughed with his nose.
"Our country has no such seal. Then the Demons won't have anything to aim for. But why should we work together?"
To the words of Emperor Rosbel, so do the nobles around him. These guys don't know how big it is. Astel, the goddess, said it on purpose.
My master tells me that 300 years ago the continent would have lost had it not cooperated. And yet these guys follow all the profit ahead of them.
Shut the fuck up.
I release intimidating words. The nobles lose their hips and shut up about the intimidation. Gargante puts his hands on the sword he's putting on his hips, but he's cold sweating. I won't make you laugh with Hella anymore.
"I am going to return to King's Lands and send letters to other countries. I will also send it out to the Empire then. Think well. I'll say it again. If I hadn't helped, the Empire would have been gone."
Not really, I'm not used to talking with a gaze from above, but these guys don't listen unless they do this. Watch Emperor Rosbell snort in silence and move on.
"Then my fiancée, Luciana, his brother, the third prince of Clift, the brave Kanagi Chanel, Nikaido Asari, will let me take him"
It was not only Emperor Rosbell who was surprised by the words, but also Mari and the Brave Men. Chanel deserves it! He has such a windy face.
"Then you can come if you want to, too, the other three braves. I'll take your bracelet, too."
"Behold! You! The brave men are slaves to the Empire! What do you mean you're taking it on your own?
... I'm digging my own grave, that emperor. He looks like the new prime minister has done it too. I guess I said what I thought with too much excitement.
"You think the brave men are slaves? To the habit you guys have been forced to bring in at the discretionary discretion of the Empire... really don't be ridiculous?
Emperor Rosbell, who stood and was angry, would also sit on the throne and tremble if he were pinpointed for more intimidation than he had earlier. And wet the chair and go.
"I'll follow."
"Dragon teeth!?
Apparently, fistfighter, you're coming. Call the lights immediately and remove the bracelet. Don't get used to it the third time. He also has someone he likes and his family, so I'll tell him if I can bring them in, so naturally I'll allow it. Keep an eye on the lights for danger as it is.
"... me too, please"
Then the model child said so too, so I take it off. Only you, brave man, are the rest.
"... I'll stay, but won't you just take off your bracelet?
"How can you stay?
"I'm engaged to Catalina. You can't leave her."
That's what you say, brave man. Well, I don't mind if he does. I don't know if that would do him any good. Brave man, take off your bracelet too. Luciana also brings her brother as she had told her beforehand.
"Now if you'll excuse me"
We'll take all of them and wait and see. Then get ready immediately and knock over the Imperial Gate. Fist fighter, your fiancée's family came safely too.
Let General Meliá proceed with vigilance around him. My prediction is that maybe an Imperial soldier will come after us. I don't know how long it'll be coming, but let me show it back.
