Munchkin of the Summoning Academy - Munchkin of the Summoning Academy chapter 161
Epilogue (1)
It has been three years since Eshas was removed from the throne.
I swallowed a sigh as I read a history textbook in an office I was hardly used to.
Of course, I am not here to study history again.
What I had in my hand was a new, warm book that had just been printed.
If there are no problems, this is a textbook that will be used at the academy from next year.
But there is no problem.
I, who was serving as the last inspector of the history book, pointed it out to the dean and Ersa, who sat across from me.
“Hey, what is this boy king?”
“Why do you do this, Your Majesty? It’s an intuitive and appropriate nickname.”
“Don’t you know that nicknames like this are easy to memorize?”
Professor See-through, who responded with a smile as if he had waited for this moment.
This history textbook has a very important meaning as it is the first book to describe the rebellion three years ago…
There is a sense of malice in the nickname.
“No, you can give it another nickname.”
“For example?”
“Because I caught a dragon, I’m the king of dragons…”
I thought it was not as good as the boy king, and when I spit it out, laughter erupted from the front.
Even Persia, who was guarding the desk, gave out a strange laughter characteristic of a fox.
but. Even thinking about it, I’m disgusted
My goal is to rule similarly to that of the previous king, Edwin II, so I don’t need a grand nickname.
“Still, I’m not a boy king.”
“If you don’t like it, slowly grow up, Your Majesty.”
If that was the case, I would have done it sooner.
I finished the inspection work reluctantly.
In fact, the other parts were written as objectively as possible.
This is a well-crafted textbook that clearly records Essha’s lessons.
However, the regret didn’t go away, so when I woke up screaming in pain, Elena came into the office.
immediately after the revolt. Elena made it clear that she was not a member of the royal family, but…
After graduating from the academy, I was living in the royal palace as my vassal.
Since El Cloud lacked the original staff, she was very grateful for her help, who was fluent in the royal palace.
“Your Majesty, the regular Earth-related meeting is coming soon…”
“I am coming.”
As one of the inspectors, she has read the textbook, so she smiles slightly when she sees the book in my hand.
I pretended not to know it and walked to the conference room where the heads of the four families were gathered.
Having learned the lessons from Eshas’ monopoly, Dracor formed a council to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
The Puri Council is attended by the four major families representing each region and members of the royal family.
Most of the decision-making power is mine, and other families in principle only give advice… but today’s agenda is different.
Every time I pass through the hallways that feel unnecessarily long, the faces greet me as I reach the conference room.
It is too difficult for the heads of the four families to attend in person every time, so most of them send a proxy.
Maria from Westwall. In White, of course, Christine. And Beltern is Elfriede.
Our naps crawled and engulfed the kingdom.
Only the representative of Collingwood, who has been admitted this time, is nervous with a confused expression.
“Everyone, stand up. The Boy King enters.”
“I’ll be delighted.”
Like Elena, Christine, who seems to have looked through the textbook, stabs my heart without hesitation.
As I have done so many times before, I asked the Demon King what’s wrong, but there was still no answer.
After giving up gracefully and taking a seat, Silvia, who followed silently, stood behind the chair.
“Then let’s start today’s meeting.”
Elena, who declared as the moderator of the meeting, raised the previously announced topic on the wall.
Originally, most of the agendas were decided by me after only listening to advice, but…
This one is different.
Today is a regular district-related meeting that is held once a month.
In order not to make the same mistake as Eshas, all members of the parliament have an equal vote on this issue.
Even if it is not unanimous, the structure will not pass at all.
Importing the culture of the earth is a matter that must be decided with that much care.
Ersa, who was attending the meeting on the way to the royal palace, whispered to the dean who was next to him.
“After defeating Esshas, they are enjoying themselves together.”
“Isn’t it rewarding as an educator?”
The dean smiles with satisfaction thanks to the increase in the subsidy after Esshas’s dismissal.
After waiting for a while, Eolin, Uncle Henry, and the Dimensional Guard Captain, who had gone on a business trip to Earth, entered.
The cat professor raised his tail and announced his achievements.
“The repatriation of all prisoners from Earth in the camp has been completed. We dealt with it without a hitch.”
“thanks.”
As always, Eolin took on the role of an academy professor and a diplomat with Earth.
The project to return people to Earth, which has been carefully pursued for the past three years, has finally succeeded.
Instead of paying money for the trespass, he made a contract of secrecy to this world.
Eolin, who is close with the Guardian, even provides a guarantee, so it is reassuring.
“Aren’t you giving too much anyway? Enough to play for the rest of your life…”
“There are people who have been detained for over 10 years.”
Fortunately, the handmaiden made crazy money with the old dragon theme wine, so there was no budget problem.
Other than that, I left the conference room with a light mood after organizing all the earth-related matters.
The garden, which was originally designed to be closed, became a bright lawn for a long time.
Persia, who was taking a nap in the afternoon sun, ran towards me.
While Elfriede, who came out with her, was holding her arms, Medusha also appeared from a distance.
The boy, who met a belated growth period, has grown by 20 cm in the last 3 years.
Among the older sisters, she seems to resemble Steno.
“Ugh…”
Perhaps because of that, Elfriede habitually shakes her body every time she sees Medusa.
Medusha, who was approaching with a sullen smile, gave Elfried a head-butt and apologized belatedly.
“Ah!”
“I’m sorry. It was too small to see. Is the meeting over already?”
“Don’t be mean.”
The guy who laughs at my pin cup and takes the other side.
We headed straight for the dining room.
The royal orchestra filled the left and right sides of the wide entrance road.
I kept wanting to fire everyone because it looked like they overlapped with the people Eshas had been working with… but I couldn’t.
It doesn’t end with hundreds of jobs lost if I fire them.
The king of Dracor is the leader of various cultures.
The dismissal of the royal band in such a position will stifle the whole kingdom’s music business.
Naturally, it is the nobles’ specialty to make people suffer by giving meaning to each and every thing that is insignificant.
Therefore, I saw a compromise by mobilizing them only for official events.
Persia, who remembered it belatedly, tilted her head and asked.
“Master. What are you up to today?”
“I heard the Duke came to the capital…”
“Aha.”
The people waiting in the spacious dining room were the first father-in-law… that is, the Duke of Welttern and his family.
Steno’s waist, waving his hand warmly, was a grown-up Dredric.
It seems that the snake gods grow at their own pace.
After a light greeting, the maid brought the food herself.
Although the name is an official event, everyone knows each other well, so the atmosphere is very light.
It was ominous that Medusha had been listening to Steno from earlier.
Dredric sitting next to him has his eyes tightly closed.
They don’t seem to like their early education.
The view gradually tilts as you drink some alcohol after eating.
I borrowed the power of drunkenness and asked the duke quietly.
It’s been a long time since the restoration work on Westwall was over, so I don’t think we need to put up with it any longer.
“Duke. Can I leave Einclad side alone?”
“Prince Albion returned to his home country not long ago. He has seen our strength clearly, so as long as Your Majesty is alive, there will be no need to worry.”
International students from Einclad were supposed to settle in Dracor, but…
That’s the contract Essha made.
Kim just returned it because she lost it.
It seems like the last time high ranking people in the line of succession to the throne died, so it was difficult.
Thanks to this, Albion ascended to the throne as soon as he died.
Not long ago, I sent you a letter saying hello.
In the end, seeing things work out like this gave me confidence.
I lowered my voice a little more and lamented.
“As expected, the Black Dragon was summoned by the Duke.”
“…how did you know?”
“They said that the last rebellion was designed and prepared by the Duke from start to finish. With a certain amount of confidence, you can’t say that.”
There are two main benefits of summoning the Black Dragon on Einclad Island.
The first is to block the actions of the Einclad side that may come in immediately after the rebellion, and the second is to solidify the will of the Westwall Marquess.
At that time, the second father-in-law was disappointed with Eshas’ decision and completely changed his mind.
Recalling the slightly embarrassing lines, the duke smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“I didn’t mean to say that. If Essha was just a little sane, it wouldn’t have worked.”
“…”
The Duke’s decision was a very risky gamble.
If he had accepted Westwall’s opinion and set out on a forward defense, his heart would have been greatly shaken.
I’m glad that Esshas is selfish from beginning to end.
As I sighed a little, Ethel, who was in charge of today’s guard, sent a guard.
Lately, I’ve been begging Ersa to make a new body… I don’t think that’s the case.
“Your Majesty. In the dungeon again…”
“…I see. Let’s go right away.”
After asking the Duke’s permission, he escaped and went straight to the dungeon.
It is not the place where Eshas had previously imprisoned the royal family.
A place that has been remodeled after his arrest.
It was originally used as a safe for valuables, so it goes without saying about security.
In addition, there is the advantage of having good access to prison topics.
I didn’t feel the advantage of the latter at first, but…
Recently, it has been very useful.
As soon as Ethel, who was grunting outside the cell door, saw me, she ran to me and told me.
I calmed him down and went inside.
“Louis! This bastard again…”
“I’m taking a break.”
“Can’t we just execute him?”
If I was going to be executed, I would have done it sooner.
Essha is an asset that cannot be obtained again.
It has enormous industrial and academic value.
There are many sins committed so far, but we cannot blindly kill them.
As he passed the disgruntled Ethel and entered the cell, he saw Eshas sitting at the tea table and waiting.
A figure tied in chains while being forced to transform into a humanoid.
Still, the treat is pretty good.
In order to analyze the regression spell he tried last time, most of the requests that are not excessive are granted.
A hot steaming teacup is on the table.
I knew I was coming, so I boiled it in advance.
What are you doing to the subject of a hunger strike?
The time has come to pick a request and grant it.
“Louise! Come on over. I don’t have much food today… Can’t you come visit me a little more often?”
As I sighed, I sat across from him and drank the tea.
Poison doesn’t work anyway.
Eshas, tired of his long imprisonment, almost lost his original dignity and begged for a story outside.
Anyway, this guy’s thoughts are clear.
I’m not really going to live forever, so it’s a calculation that something will happen if I keep my life alive.
The Demon King, who had come to me with similar thoughts, said with a grin.
“Lewis. How about bringing in an old dragon concubine at this point in time?”
“yes?”
“Eh…”
Eshasu is wary of overly friendly words again.
The demon king laughed and teased her.
“Of course, by patrolling with us later.”
“Hey, I repealed that evil law a long time ago!”
“If you don’t like it, don’t be tired. To be honest, there are many visits once a week, right?”
The demon lord who fired at Eshas took me out of the prison.
As I was about to return to the banquet hall, Elfriede, who followed me, kidnapped me.
Medusha, who was looking at this from afar, grinned and waved her hand.
Steno and the seat next to me are arguing, but even if I can’t hear it, I can barely understand the content.
“It doesn’t mean that I won’t lose it just because I have a baby first…”
“Leave it. Let me have a good dream.”
Elfriede speeded up as if running away from them.
Persia, excited by the cool night breeze, followed me eagerly.
