"Who is it! Damn it, release the Commander!"
"Spouting about the kingdom's crisis, pocketing the increased military budget for personal gain, and for that reason, sending those three... Thinking about it, there must have been something fishy about that night, as it's the starting point of everything."
Shimazaki Yosuke didn't answer who he was, nor did he release the 'Commander,' but instead began checking the memories of the silent, uniformed man.
Soon, the truth was revealed.
Knowing full well that a goblin-centered army of 50,000 was predicted to be approaching, the uniformed man still forcibly dispatched the novice adventurers Alicia and her two companions to set up roadblocks, even falsely claiming there were only a mere 10 goblins.
"This guy is quite detestable."
"Indeed."
Zun Zun put the recorded crystal into his storage space. Regardless of how this ends, the uniformed man probably won't be the kingdom's commander anymore.
Shimazaki Yosuke was also rarely angered. He originally thought it was a misunderstanding within the kingdom, so he wanted to explain, but he didn't expect it to unfold like this—
"So, at that time, they were already considered expendable."
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
The uniformed man's eyes sharpened. He pried off the hand pressing on his head and coldly snorted, "They risked their lives to become adventurers of their own volition. If that's the case, then let them risk their lives. Is there anything wrong with that?"
He didn't repent for his mistakes at all, and didn't even understand the key issue, talking to himself.
"You bastard...!"
The elven bishoujo was furious and ready to fight him, while Shimazaki Yosuke stammered, completely unsure of what to say, his eyes constantly darting towards Zun Zun for help.
Why did this guy become so inarticulate here?
"Of course, there is," Zun Zun stepped forward, loudly retorting, "It's true that the three of them voluntarily risked their lives to become adventurers, but deliberately sending them to their deaths is simply deception."
"But they are heroes."
"Incorrect! They are not heroes with insufficient strength, at least not initially, and that title of hero was forcibly imposed upon them by you."
"They are citizens of this kingdom and have a duty to sacrifice themselves for the kingdom, even their lives."
"But they also have the right to know, at least to know their situation. And... you've been wrong about one thing from the start. Even if they were sent to their deaths, it wasn't for some noble reason like saving the kingdom, but to satisfy your desire to line your own pockets!"
Indeed, Alicia and the others were citizens of this kingdom, and even given the title of heroes, but they were still novice adventurers of only half a year. Sending them to do dangerous things was simply sending them to their deaths.
No matter what the commander said, it was refuted by Zun Zun, who was even more eloquent, and he was left speechless.
Modern theory is unparalleled, easily defeating people from another world.
Zun Zun's lips curled up.
You should know that he was a debate expert back then. The fourth debater on the affirmative side was as strong as the heavens, piercing through seven people regardless of friend or foe, silencing opponents, making teammates emo, and breaking the defenses of netizens.
Just as Zun Zun was enjoying the fruits of victory, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted beside him. Soon, the intense light dissipated, and Shimazaki Yosuke transformed into an unfamiliar man, who immediately gave the commander a huge slap, stunning him completely.
"What exactly do you want to do...?"
Slap—
"Hey..."
Slap—
"What are you talking about...?"
Slap—
Slaps came one after another, not giving the commander a chance to speak, while also saying inexplicable things, neither the language of this world nor Japanese.
However, the man Shimazaki Yosuke transformed into was very stubborn and unreasonable.
"I'm sorry..."
Finally, the commander confessed under duress.
No, no, no, why go to the extra trouble? He had already been refuted. Even if his mouth wasn't good at speaking, there was no need to be so tyrannical and violent.
However, Shimazaki Yosuke didn't listen at all. Even if the commander bowed his head and admitted his mistake under pressure, his slaps didn't stop.
Until the adjutant, who had been silent until now, stood in front of the commander, she loudly spoke of the past, explaining with reason and emotion why the commander would do such excessive things.
Slap—
Then Shimazaki Yosuke slapped both of them, completely ignoring their explanations, causing the commander and adjutant to apologize again.
"Is an apology enough?"
"...What?"
"Are you satisfied with this?"
The commander wiped his swollen cheeks, glared at the three of them, and shouted, "Starting with the subjugation of the Magic Poison Dragon five months ago, extraordinary events have been occurring everywhere on this continent! Four months ago, the Magic Flame Dragon was subjugated, three months ago, the barrier of the sealed city nearly disappeared, two months ago, the Storm Dragon vanished for some unknown reason, and one month ago, the natural barrier intercepting humans and monsters was destroyed!"
"Huh...?"
"With the loss of the three Magic Dragons, the power balance of the monsters has been broken, causing this great migration of the goblin army! So many major events have occurred in less than half a year! It is obvious that an existence of unknown identity is trying to destroy the balance of this world! What can be achieved with benevolence and morality alone? Can others do it!?"
"Eh————"
All of these things the commander mentioned were done by Zun Zun and the others.
The elven bishoujo tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Hey, have we done so many excessive things in the past six months?"
"How could we?"
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved."
"The barrier of the sealed city was destroyed by Yosuke, it has nothing to do with me."
"Huh? What about the others?... Wait, what about the others, why aren't you talking!?"
Zun Zun's silence made her even more dumbfounded.
Speaking of which, when did the Storm Dragon disappear and the natural barrier vanish? She had been by Zun Zun's side the whole time, rarely leaving.
On the other side, Shimazaki Yosuke couldn't bring himself to do it anymore. Because most of these things were related to him.
"In order to go home as soon as possible, I didn't expect to cause such a big effect."
Zun Zun forcefully tugged at his hair.
Under normal circumstances, it took Shimazaki Yosuke three whole years to trigger these events. However, with Zun Zun's intervention, he wanted to go home early and recklessly caused chaos, which seemed to have caused the commander's unease.
After all, major events had occurred almost every month for the past half a year. It would be strange if he wasn't afraid.
Zun Zun looked at the recorded crystal and, after thinking for a moment, stuffed it into the deepest part of his storage space.
Just then.
The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
A bone-chilling aura suddenly came from the outside, forcing back Zun Zun and the others, also allowing the commander to take the adjutant away.
"Oh oh!"
"It's that Lord!"
"The living legend! Hahaha, you guys are finished now! Damn thieves!"
Even though a cold aura was constantly surging, the surrounding knights cheered enthusiastically, and some even shouted loudly:
"Both the guardian of the legend and its wielder, the Frozen God's Sleeping Beauty! Mabel Le Bell!"
"May you eternally sleep... right?"
Seeing Zun Zun and the others greeting her, Mabel's Frozen God Sword, like her aloof expression, completely melted.
The phenomenon caused many soldiers to discuss.
"Lord Mabel's weapon has melted!?"
"Can she win with just that small sword?"
"You're wrong!"
"What!?"
The refuted knight looked at his companion incredulously. The companion explained in a serious tone:
"Although the blade covering the Frozen God Sword has amazing combat power, that 【Ice Binding Protective Form】 is only to seal and protect the Frozen God Sword. The true horror of the Frozen God Sword lies precisely in the small body that is now exposed!
Even if only the edge of the blade's air grazes you, even that Magic Flame Dragon would be sealed for decades. It can be said to be an extremely threatening legendary Divine Sword! However, to reach that Divine Might Open Form, it requires..."
This is my family heirloom, why do you know more about it than I do!?
Mabel's face changed drastically.
She opened her mouth wide, looking at the knight in disbelief, unable to understand why this person knew more about the Frozen God Sword than she did.
And this confusion was soon resolved.
"Eh, so detailed!"
"How do you know?"
"I feel like you're a bit disgusting."
The knights complained one after another.
The knight, who was still explaining, realized that he was misunderstood and immediately said righteously, "No, you've misunderstood. On the street I inspected before, this book is selling like crazy."
Then, he took out a book.
【Everything About the Ice Clan】
~Noble Bloodline and Mission~
Written by Coranbelle Le Bell
'What is the annual income of that Ice Clan? Who is their lover? Only the former guardian knows the truth of the clan! Magic Flame Dragon, Frozen God Sword, Ice Shrine Maiden... A forbidden book that exposes all these secrets!'
It must be said that both the main title and the subheadings were quite attractive.
Things like noble bloodline and mission, the truth of the Ice Clan, the Ice Shrine Maiden, and other secrets immediately attracted people's attention.
"The effective range of the Frozen God Sword, the longest freezing seal time, and other useful information are written densely."
"Really? Let me see!"
"Me too, me too!"
The knights passed around the book full of information about the Frozen God Sword in front of Mabel, while Mabel shed tears with a lifeless expression.
"Mom... Mom, who eloped with a young man when I was 9 years old..."
The Frozen God Sword was sealed again.
Ah, it should be called the Ice Binding Protective Form.
"How should I put it..."
"That's too much."
The elven bishoujo and Zun Zun couldn't help but sympathize with Mabel. After all, Mabel's mother was really enjoying life, but the consequences naturally fell on her daughter.
Zun Zun raised his head and sighed.
He knew this feeling all too well, like the people of the Axis Church—Cecily, Zesta, Aqua, etc., those idiots were all people who would screw you over without paying for it.
If the Axis Church didn't exist in another world, he would definitely recommend her to join!
