25. Cleaning Up (2)
“…Kaisen. Oh, my son.”
Those were Count Rubelt’s first words when he opened his eyes. Rubelt, who patted Kaisen on the shoulder, gazed at his youngest child, Ruine, next to him.
“Ruine, come here.”
“Yes, yes, father.”
Ruine walked away confident that her father had finally returned to normal for her.
Yuma confirmed through the search plan that Count Rubelt’s inclination had changed to good.
Count Rubelt, who was fully enjoying the joy of being reunited with his children, looked at the man with dark gray hair standing far behind them.
“Yuma… Thank you.”
Yuma’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.
“You remember. Do you still have memories of the time when your consciousness was controlled by the black dragon?”
“Yes…I vaguely remember. I committed an indelible sin on my land. On this Rubelt’s land.”
Rubelt again gazed at his son, Kaisen.
“I have to hand over the throne to you even tomorrow. I don’t know how long I will be able to breathe.”
“Father.”
“I’m sorry for making you responsible for my sins…And my incompetence.”
In fact, it could not be said that Count Rubelt was incompetent. It was an even rarer case for a human host determined by the mind control ability, which is a characteristic of , To have the power to overcome it.
“No, father.”
Yuma and her group decided not to interfere with her family’s reunion any longer.
As if Kaisen had given an order in advance, the count’s chamberlain approached Yuma and the others.
“We will provide you with a room to stay.”
Yuma nodded her head. She was having a long and difficult day and night. With a clear mind, she thought about her next plans.

“….”
Through the small gap between the window and the curtain, bright sunlight woke Yuma from his sweet sleep.
Yuma slowly opened her eyes.
And then things appeared before her eyes that disturbed her.
It was similar to the phenomenon I encountered last time, the morning after defeating the Sword God Kronos.
It seems that the rule was that achievement settlement would be done the next day.
It was a feast of countless notification windows.
[The transcendent being has been defeated.]
[She has achieved an achievement that far surpasses her own capabilities.]
[Rewards will be granted!]
New!
[Skill – Crisis Detection (★★★): Detects lethal energy. Detects all beings that are threatening you. It is a passive skill.]
New!
[Skill – Absolute Counterattack─Bonsai: Counterattack. Same as , It can work when parrying is successful.
When parrying, you can use With the same attack power on up to 2 enemies excluding the original target. Cool time: 12 hours]
Absolute counterattack—bonsai.
To summarize, it is a skill that can kill three people at the same time with one absolute counterattack.
You will have to use it in practice to know, but just looking at the explanation, it seems very useful in many situations.
If you can’t use parrying, it’s just a pie in the sky.
Yuma was an extraordinary being when it came to ‘paring.’ She was an expert in parrying.
[Growth potential does not exist.]
[Status increases as a reward for achievements achieved.]
[Name: Yuma
Lv.40
Alignment: Good Personality Trait: Cool-headed
Strength: 50 Stamina: 65 Defense: 50 Agility: 70 Growth Potential: 0 – Criminal]
This time, the level rose by 20.
Stats also increased by 20.
Stat growth is meaningful. ‘Parrying’ is also possible only with a certain level of physical ability.

Yuma clenched her fists.
As expected, it was not possible to feel that the power had become stronger just through this series of actions.
Anyway, you will be able to get a real feel for it once you experience it in real life.
Yuma completely abandoned her thoughts that she would be able to live a peaceful life. Because she was living a life that was far from being peaceful.
“Huh…Dragon slayer!”
As soon as Hestia saw her Yuma, she raised her right index finger and pointed at her face.
Yes, she killed a dragon.
If a guy like that says he wants to live peacefully, it will sound like a joke that isn’t even funny.
Tuk
Yuma placed her hand on the head of Hestia, who was now recognized as one of her own and went without even a robe in the County of Rubelt.
“Be quiet.”
Both of Hestia’s orange cat ears perked up.
“hehehe, yes!”
Hestia is once again afraid to speak politely.
There was nothing to be seen in the special prison when saving Kaisen or the way he was attacking the enemies who had gathered like zombies yesterday like berserkers.
Yuma stared at Hestia.
“My younger brother. Is he okay? His name was Haruk.”
Hestia nodded her head loudly. The corner of her Miao swordsman’s mouth twitched. She remembers what Yuma told her. It gave Hestia great pleasure to show her concern for him.
“Yes! Haruk, my body and mind are fine! I think my mind is also fine!”
I see.
Hestia continued.
“Now, this county of Rubelt will soon be stabilized, right?”
“I guess so.”
Hestia’s eyes lit up as if she had made up her mind.
“Hmm, I need to settle down in the county. If you give me all the money you promised me, I will be able to settle down and live well. Or should I just ask you to get a job…”
“I guess those details will be up to Haruk to decide.”
Hestia felt like she had been hit hard on the head by Yuma’s words.
“Oh, that’s right! I was thinking too much about myself!”
“Are you not planning on settling here?”
“Eh…Eh!”
Hestia took a step back and let out a strange sound from her mouth.
“Didn’t you make me your subordinate? You even gave me such a famous sword… Ugh.”
And then she suddenly started crying!
Yuma clicked her tongue inside her. She would have said that even when she gives a sword, she lends it.
Yuma gazed at Hestia again.
He is definitely a talented person. Because he was a swordsman with the potential to grow into a sword master. There was nothing wrong with being a subordinate. No, he will definitely become a great bodyguard.
“Do whatever you want, but the future may not be so smooth.”
It hasn’t even been a month since I came to this world.
But then I encountered a dragon. She struck down the dragon and captured it. Yuma had no idea how much more twisted her future would become.
Hestia smiled brightly as she roughly wiped away her tears with the sleeve of her clothes instead of her handkerchief.
“Ugh! The future of the dragon slayer cannot be peaceful! Adventure! Adversity! Suffering!”
Yuma placed her right hand on Hestia’s scarlet head again.
“…Be quiet.”
“hehehe, yes!”
The last time I told you to be quiet was because it was really loud, but now it was ominous.
Adventure, adversity, hardship!
Because those words sounded like a prophecy was being declared.
Yuma came down to the second floor of the castle with Hestia. Clone, who had already arrived earlier, was sitting on the second floor.
“Wow! It’s really cool!”
Ruine’s eyes sparkled when she saw the ice flower blooming on Clone’s palm.
The Count’s youngest daughter, Ruine, was sitting across from Clone and having a meal. Yuma approached Ruine.
“What about the Count and Kaisen?”
Ruine’s face, which had brightened as she talked about magic with Clone, immediately darkened.
“My father’s condition is so bad…He is eating separately from Kaisen.”
Clone’s sorrowful gaze turned towards Ruine.
“Now, this time it’s an ice deer.”
“…Wow! You’re so pretty, sister!”
Ruine’s face brightened again.
***
When breakfast was almost finished, Kaisen, a blond boy, approached Yuma.
“Yuma, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“I will contact the imperial family. There is a communication tower with a magic tool that can contact the capital imperial family. Since Yuma is here, I plan to contact 1st Princess Brigitte.”
Kaisen continued.
“At the risk of being rude, I would appreciate it if you could attend. I think the only way to give credibility to my remarks is for Yuma to help you.”
Well, a dragon suddenly appeared. Take control of the count’s mind and shake up the count’s territory as you wish. The fact that he preyed on the residents of the territory was enough to arouse embarrassment from the listener’s perspective.
It is safe to say that you have solved the case. If you add an explanation, it will be of great help in understanding the situation.
“Sure.”
Yuma willingly agreed to allow it.
There is nothing wrong with seeing the face of Princess Brigitte 1 herself.
‘I guess they are doing their own research on the trust.’
Because of Bridgette’s personality, it is unlikely that she would have delegated authority to represent her and just sat there quietly.
There was a need to share each other’s progress.
Yuma and Kaisen headed to the communication tower next to the count’s castle together.
Kaisen sat down and held up a black communication magic tool, commonly known as . It was an old communication magic tool that looked like a brick.
Kaisen pressed the button to make Mirbell, the communication magic tool of the First Princess Palace, ring.
-This is the palace of First Princess Brigitte. Please tell us the identity and business of the sender.
It was the voice of Roian, the chamberlain of the 1st princess’s palace.
Kai Sen slowly opened her mouth.
“This is Kaisen, the eldest son and first prince of the Count Rubelt family. I have contacted you to report and discuss the current state of the county and request support.”
After a very brief silence.
The old man’s deep voice was heard again through the communicator.
-Please wait a moment.
It was literally just a moment.
-This is the 1st princess Brigitte.
A voice was heard.
It was the princess’s voice that Yuma had not heard in a very long time.
“Ah, hello. First Princess Brigitte.”
-Is Yuma, the agent I appointed, currently in the County of Rubelt?
Kaisen’s body trembled.
“Yes, he is next to me now.”
Yuma decided to relieve Kaisen’s embarrassment a little.
“It’s been a long time. Princess Brigitte.”
-I’m glad we’re together. There was something I still had to say. Before that, let us first listen to what Prince Kaisen said.
Kaisen must have had a hard time memorizing the reports, so he held up a piece of paper on which he wrote down the county’s situation in detail and read them down.
“Yes, I will tell you, Princess. Under the circumstances, a black dragon woke up from a long sleep near our county territory. It settled in a cave in the territory and used my father, Count Rubelt, as a host for mind control. “I made my choice. And I began to encompass the earldom as I wished.”
The explanation continued.
“It is estimated that about 100 innocent citizens were eaten by black dragons over a period of five months.”
-… It’s a very painful thing. Provide the maximum compensation you can.
The two talked about the incident for a while.
-The name of the black dragon is… There is no way he knew.
“It’s Elkam—Acreon.”
It was Yuma, not Kaisen, who responded to Brigitte’s words. He received Mir Bell from Kaisen.
-Yuma, how on earth do you know your name?
“I killed him after asking his name.”
Brigitte let out a laugh filled with astonishment.
-As expected, I heard that he was killed directly by the person involved. I finally feel it. It’s surprising that they even asked for his name before killing him.
Yuma opened his mouth again.
“Is there anything you want to say about the mission you gave me?”
Mission.
Brigitte knew immediately what Yuma’s words implied.
About the blue-haired sword saint.
-There is a story to tell about that. Prince Kaisen, could you please go outside for a moment?
“Yes, I understand. Your Majesty.”
Kaisen got up without hesitation and left the communication room.
-The saint delivered an additional oracle. She has only cooperated with me ever since Brother Schwerce once forced her to remain silent about her oracle.
“…That guy is quite crazy too.”
In a country that values trust so much. To think of manipulating the saint who directly received the oracle as he pleases.
-Anyway, the identity of the blue-haired sword saint seems to have been identified.
What came out of Brigitte’s mouth next was definitely significant progress.
-White Night Clan.
White Night Clan.
-I think he’s probably part of that clan.
