Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 158 Later (2)

“……ok?”

Looking ahead like that.

The front of the frontier, somewhere in the void.

“… … Something, like a stain.”

Frondier saw something strange.

It was empty space, but I felt like there was something black there.

“What is that?”

Kwajijijik!!

As if cutting off Frondier’s words.

The stain made a harsh sound.

It sounded like something was tearing.

suddenly!

And through that gap, a hand.

Crunch, crunch!

A hand emerged from the pitch-black stain and grabbed the edge of the void.

Then the next hand came out again and pushed both hands apart, gradually expanding the boundary.

“Wh, what’s happening… … !”

And with both arms spread out and into the open space,

Thud!

Beyond confidence, violent feet step forward,

“It’s not okay!!!”

A person who stands before Frondia’s eyes, shouting a thunderous voice that shakes Asgard.

“Not at all okay! Front!!”

“… … Elodie?”

Frontier was so surprised that he was dumbfounded.

Elodie was looking at Frondia with her blue eyes blazing.

How are you here?

Is this a dream?

Have you already gone crazy from loneliness?

“Wow! Me! Really! Wow!”

Elodie walked over and let out a noise of disbelief.

“I really don’t understand! You don’t understand a thing!!”

“You, how did you get here… …. No, where did you hear it from?”

“Front!!!”

Elodie shouted without listening to Frondier.

“Do you know what I’ve been worried about because of you? Wow, this guy is really ridiculous. He makes people’s worries completely useless. Man, if there was such a clear answer, you should have told me a long time ago!”

“So, what are you talking about… … .”

Frontier who doesn’t understand.

Elodie, enraged by this, closed her eyes and screamed.

“I was going to send you back to the original world!!”

“……her?”

“I heard everything! I know who you are, why you came here, and what kind of mindset you have for living here!”

Frondier’s thoughts were completely interrupted by that shout.

It was the first time in my life that my thoughts had flown this far.

“So you, me,”

“Yeah! It’s not Frontier!”

Elodie pointed to Frondi.

“That’s why I was going to send you to the Temple of the Four Elements! But I just used it, you idiot! It was a coincidence that if you come here once in your life, you’ll come many times, but I forcibly moved the planet in the metaphor! You can’t go back to your original world anymore. Don’t say anything to me, it’s all your fault! Cry and complain later, will it even be worth it?”

Snap!

Then Elodie grabbed Frondier’s hand and pulled her towards him.

“Okay, let’s go back quickly! This passage isn’t open forever!”

“Now, wait a minute. Then God… … .”

“What are you talking about!”

Frondier holds Fenrir in his arms, and Elodie follows him absentmindedly, led by his hand.

“Now to us!”

And the sky seen beyond the passage.

Elodie shouted as she fell with Frondier.

“There’s no need for that!”

“… … !”

Frondior’s eyes widened when he heard that.

Eyes blinking a few times for a moment.

And then a smile appeared on his face.

Yeah, that’s right.

There’s no need for that anymore.

Shh …

As the land neared, those who had discovered the Frontier began to shout one by one.

“Frontier!!”

“Frontier, Frontier!!!”

“Wow!!”

They come closer to the ground as they hear their loud cries.

Frontier looked around the battlefield at the people getting closer and closer.

‘……I see.’

All the gods have fallen.

When Frondia was trapped in the world of salvation, the war was already over.

Frondi and Elodie slowly descended with light buoyancy.

“Frontier! Frontier! Frontier!”

At that moment, the voices became one and began to call his name.

Frontier sat there dumbfounded, listening to his name being called from all directions.

And there were people who approached him.

“… … Jeanne.”

“Frondeer.”

Heroes and giants summoned by Menosorphos.

They gathered in front of the frontier.

Swish.

Everyone slowly knelt down on one knee in front of Frondeer.

“Thank you.”

Jeanne’s voice. Frondi hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, but eventually smiled awkwardly and said.

“It’s me.”

Then, the people there began to kneel down toward Frondia one by one.

Frondier knows what that means.

─When I return here, all those who have harmed me will apologize.

─There will be no harm to me.

Frontier closed his eyes.

Did you somehow solve it?

I can go home now.

[Wait, wait.]

The voice heard at that moment.

A familiar yet slightly distorted voice.

When Frondeer raised his head, there was,

“Oh, shit.”

There was a viewfinder. On that screen was a familiar woman dressed in black.

“Again? Mr. Quinie?”

[This time, for real! I really need to capture the hero’s face properly!]

When on earth did you prepare it?

The Wizview screen changed, and this time, Frontier’s face appeared as large as a door.

[Now! This screen is a special live broadcast of the Imperial Palace, the Empire, all the cities and walls, and even the distant continent of Agoris!]

I guess that’s foolish.

Frondier suddenly became lethargic.

[Frontier, do you have anything to say?]

At those words, Frondior thought for a moment.

It’s a live broadcast that everyone is watching.

Well then, I have only one thing to say.

Frondior looked up and said.

“I think I said that back then, but I,”

As I was saying those words, by chance, Ampere’s face came into view.

There was no need to avoid eye contact.

“I am Frontier de Roach.”

* * *

God has fallen,

Humans won the war.

I heard that it is a fact that gods disappear, but it seems that gods that are not dead yet take time to disappear. It takes quite a long time. Furthermore, it is the gods that disappear, not the world.

In other words, places like Asgard and the Underworld still remain. It is not a matter of God that the soul goes to the afterlife and starts a new life, but the system of this world, so it will not change.

… … Actually, these are stories I can’t ask anyone, so I heard most of the information from Elodie. Elodie was surprised that I didn’t even know these things.

Most of the 72 demons under my command headed to the Demon World. They had finally set foot on their homeland. Of course, this was a planned procedure before King Palma occupied Edrium.

However, Lili remained. To be exact, she went back and forth between the Demon World and here, occasionally giving me news about the Demon World. She said that even as the Demon King, she needed to know the situation.

Am I still the Demon King?

I also heard from Lily what Belphegor did in the Demon World. With most of the Seven Deadly Sins taken care of, it seems Belphegor has almost taken the throne of the Demon World.

They say they need to collect Loki’s soul, but it looks like they’ll have to either kill me or wait until I die.

Belphegor would naturally choose the latter.

However, I was a bit concerned about the news that came from Lily at the end.

─Bael and Baalzebub, still imprisoned in Pantemonium.

… … It seems like your fight isn’t over yet.

And now I’m in the Roach mansion.

When I returned to the mansion, Malia was already waiting for me. As soon as she saw me, she ran to me and hugged me, and then burst into tears. I heard that she had been crying from the moment she saw my view in the palace until she met me.

He asked me if I was hurt, and I thought to myself, ‘Isn’t it a condition to not be hurt?’ But even so, I’m not that clueless.

And several days passed.

In the end, how can I return to my original world?

After much consultation with Elodie and her other gods, the answer came.

Undefined.

No one knows when I will be able to return.

“I never thought that ‘coincidence’ would mean that all of Elodie’s planets would align.”

“That’s only my analogy. It would be different for other magicians. Well, my analogy is certainly good for observing coincidences with your own eyes.”

” Elodie said.

Besides, when they took me out of Asgard, it wasn’t just a coincidence, they had to forcefully move the position of a planet, but now they don’t know how to do that, and they say it’s impossible with just one planet.

So I was once again left with no idea how to get back to my original world.

“… … A mess.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

And Selena is still my escort.

And I am learning ancient languages ​​from time to time.

I wondered why he wanted to learn this now, but he showed a lot of enthusiasm and I taught him. It became one of my regular schedules again.

“Come to think of it, Frontier, I guess I should go shopping next time.”

“shopping?”

“Yes, I need to buy a swimsuit.”

“… … Oh, right. We decided to go to the beach.”

I nodded as a sudden memory occurred to me.

“If it’s a swimsuit, I don’t think it’s right for me to go with you. Go with other people.”

“Haha, that’s a bit too much of a joke.”

……joke?

Selena smiled sweetly. She really thought I was joking.

But I couldn’t say no because I was afraid that he would see the expression behind that smile if I said it wasn’t a joke.

“by the way.”

Selena looked to the right corner of the room as if a memory had suddenly occurred to her.

“Is that dog really Fenrir?”

“okay.”

Fenrir is sleeping soundly on a small cushion in my room. He is so small that he looks more like a puppy than a wolf.

“According to the story, it is said to be so large that it can eat up both the sky and the earth at the same time.”

“It wasn’t that big, but it was big. It must have used up all its strength fighting Odin.”

“Then, when it recovers, will it grow back again?”

“… … I guess so?”

If you think about it, it’s a bit difficult.

When I first saw Fenrir, it was truly enormous. As vast as the grounds of Loach Manor are, there is no room for a wolf that large to roam around.

Besides, what’s more problematic than size is the sense of oppression and murder.

That look that scared both me and Belphegor at the same time. It’s not good for the mental health of ordinary people.

“Don’t worry. It’ll stay like this.”

At that moment, Fenrir, who was sleeping on the cushion, spoke up, asking when he had woken up.

“… … .”

Selena looked at Fenrir with wide eyes.

“… … Mr. Frontier. The dog is talking.”

“That’s why I said Fenrir. He’s a wolf, not a dog.”

“The wolf speaks.”

“… … Yeah. Isn’t it amazing?”

Fenrir, who had been listening to our conversation, buried his chin in the cushion.

“Do you know what kind of balloon I am? I grow and shrink depending on the amount of magic power I have. This form is the best for preserving magic power anyway. Don’t worry.”

“I think the way you speak has changed?”

“How can you speak so solemnly at this size? It’s even more tiring.”

Fenrir sighed. The dog sighed. It felt really strange.

“I know what the consequences of causing fear in others are. That’s why I became like that.”

“… … Okay, sorry.”

“What? I should be grateful.”

Fenrir said this and stretched his back.

If you think about it, Fenrir was bound for so many years simply because he was strong.

It wasn’t Fenrir’s fault, but he knew how hard it was to scare someone. There was a sullen look on his face.

And after some time, the time to teach Selena came to an end.

“… … Phew.”

I looked up from my room and sighed.

This sigh is a sigh of worry.

We tried to avoid seeing each other for a few days.

There were definitely some facts that needed to be sorted out.

“… … .”

“… … .”

So I was in the backyard of the Roach mansion.

Atjie and I stood there quietly without saying a word.

Rather than being tense, it feels somewhat awkward.

I really didn’t know what to say.

Atjie was the first to speak.

“Frondeer.”

“… … Yes, brother.”

After much deliberation, I eventually went back to my original name.

Atge told me about that.

“Yeah, you call me big brother. The original Frondiar doesn’t call me that. I should have figured it out from there.”

“……okay.”

I have no words.

Atji looked at me quietly, and eventually let out a sigh similar to mine.

“I have a few questions.”

“What is it?”

“When you received the letter from your father about the ‘excommunication’, were you already there?”

“Yes, it had already changed by then.”

“… … So you’re saying that it was you from the moment you started thinking about kicking out Frontier.”

That’s how it is.

Atjie asked again.

“Why did you save me?”

“Because I needed you in the war.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“… … I thought you would understand if I said it that way, so I gave that reason.”

I added one more word.

I think I know why you’re asking this again.

“I just wanted to save you.”

“……just?”

“I don’t know the exact reason.”

This was my answer.

That was the most honest thing I could say.

Atji looked at me like that for a moment.

Those eyes slowly look sideways, looking at the sky.

“Frondeer.”

Atji called me again.

“Live long.”

“… … .”

I took a deep breath at those words.

I felt my fingertips tremble.

“More than the time I saw my brother,”

Atji took a step like that.

He spoke as if he was letting his words drift away in the wind.

“I need to see you longer.”
