What do you think, Christo?


    Liberto-san calmly asks that question.


    Yes, there''s no point in panicking now, because there''s nothing we can do from here, even if the begonia kingdom is attacked now.


    Even if the begonia kingdom is attacked now, there''s nothing we can do from here.


    So, are we going to go back to the kingdom now?


    Perhaps the lack of communication means that we''re being raided at the moment.


    It had taken him two days to get here.


    Even if we rushed back now, it would take more than a day.


    ''''Princess Irene, do you have an idea of the number of troops in the Lindow Empire and so on?


    Christo asks Irene, who has come to tell us about this.


    ''''I believe the maximum number of troops is about ten thousand.


    The number of soldiers living in the royal capital is about fifty thousand.


    If you look at the numbers alone, the royal capital won''t be corrupted, but the people will be greatly affected.


    ''''But the Lindow Empire is also a country where there are many soldiers who are demon users. Although the number of soldiers is small, the demons would be using the same or even more numbers.''''


    A demon tamer.


    As the name implies, it is a person who can use and handle demons.


    There are quite a few of them in the demon tribe, and that Felix Gladio probably manipulated a demon to attack our village.


    Each person has their own set of skills, but some can handle more than five.


    Moreover, we met someone who can control a group of demons like the Orc General before we got here, so he can control many demons like Felix.


    Ten thousand is a small number of troops, but with someone who can use demons, there would be enough power to make up for the number of troops.


    Really, it could be bad.


    ''''Liberto, do you have that magic tool?


    Yeah, I have. But I only have two.


    You mean two...


    Mr. Liberto produced two tools from his pocket again.


    Looking at the tools, Christo looks around at us and thinks.


    ''''What kind of magic tools are they?''''


    This is a one-time transference spell. Use it and you''ll be back in King''s Landing in an instant.


    What!　You have such a magical tool!


    My eyes widen in surprise when I hear that.


    Even if you can only use it once, it''s an unbeatable performance.


    ''I thought I''d only use this in a real, true emergency, but I guess now would be the time.


    Yeah. But the question is, who''s coming back?


    Christo puts his hand on his chin and looks at me, Mr. Liberto, and Viviana.


    ''I want Viviana back. We''ll need your help for sure.


    Okay, got it.


    Christo judges that.


    Viviana-san''s power to eradicate an army of orcs with a single magic is enough to turn the war upside down by herself.


    Bringing Viviana-san back is a good decision.


    ''''So Eric, you should come back too.


    Me?


    Yeah, you''re stronger than Liberto. I''d rather leave it to you.


    Looking into my eyes, Christo said that.


    Right now, Christo wouldn''t be able to determine that either me or Liberto-san is stronger, so it was probably Liberto-san himself who said that.


    I don''t particularly intend to deny it.


    I''m proud of my strength, and I''ve killed hundreds of people alone in war in my previous life.


    ''All right,''


    ''I know it''s hard for two people to turn the battle around on their own. But if we don''t do it, the Kingdom of Begonia will be destroyed. Please.


    Yeah, I got it.


    He looked into Christo''s eyes and nodded strongly.


    ''''Um, I''m sorry...''''


    A voice came discreetly in from next to me.


    I huffed at the voice I''d dreamed of and wanted to hear over and over again.


    I looked over there and saw Irene looking at me.


    I saw my reflection in those beautiful golden eyes I''d seen so many times in my previous life.


    ''''Could it be Eric-sama, the one who defeated Felix Gladio?


    --Lady Eric.


    Even in a past life, Irene called me that.


    Tears were about to spill out of my eyes.


    I held on to them goofily so that I wouldn''t cry like I did when I met Christo again.


    ''''Oh, oh yes,''''


    I''m not supposed to talk in a tame voice, but my previous life pulls me into a weird tone.


    Irene doesn''t care about my tone, she smiles like a flower blooming.


    ''Thank you!　Because of you, this country was saved!


    Then he lowered his head.


    The soldiers waiting behind him are a little upset.


    You must be worried about whether it''s okay for the princess of a country to bow down so easily.


    ''''Oh, I''m sorry, you don''t have much time...''''


    Remembering our situation, Irene apologizes again, apologizing apologetically, and steps back a bit.


    ''''I pray that the Begonia Kingdom will be saved. Good luck, Eric-sama.


    Irene said and bowed her head.


    ''''Eric, take this. If you press here, the effect of the magic tool will be activated and you can return to the royal capital. Hey, are you okay?


    Liberto-san put something in my hand, and I was a little stunned.


    It''s been a long time - a really long time since I''ve seen her, Irene.


    She''s so much more vivid, beautiful and beautiful than the fading memories.


    And when she thanked me, for the first time I felt that I had saved Irene.


    I understood that if I defeated Felix, unlike in my previous life, Irene''s past of leaving the Kingdom of Harzion was gone.


    Now, with that fake smile, I finally understood from the bottom of my heart that defeating Felix had not made Irene unhappy.


    Really, it was good.


    I was sad that Irene was happy, but I was sad that I couldn''t see her anymore--.


    --"We''re here together again.


    Erik!　Are you okay?!


    Christo''s voice brought me back from my thoughts with a huff.


    Yes, it''s an emergency now.


    I have to go back to King''s Landing and save it.


    ''Yeah, I''ll be fine.''


    Are you sure?　If I''m not feeling well, I''ll tell Liberto....


    No, I''m at the top of my game right now.


    I smiled at that to Christo, who was worried about me because I was in a daze.


    Irene told me to keep up the good work.


    I''m back in the world and I''m in great shape.


    Is that so?　Then I''m counting on you.


    Yeah.


    When I look next to her, Viviana-san is holding a magic tool just like me.


    Then I turn to Irene once before I press the switch on the magic tool.


    ''Irene, I''ll definitely come back to see you again.


    ''　Ha, yes!　We''ll be waiting for you!


    He smiles and nods in surprise at my words.


    I turn to Viviana and together we hit the switch.


    At that moment, I''m engulfed in light.
