Chapter 377 - Let's Think About the Cleanup

In the center of the feudal lord mansion's courtyard, that monument had vigorously risen.

It was a huge building whose entire exterior was mirrors. Its true character was Kazane Cottage, which Kazane had mustered the last of her power to summon. Kazane had said「I'm going to sleep」and staggered into the Cottage, and she was currently sleeping like a log inside.

Another day had passed since the Crystallization of the Hirukos was completed. It was partially because she had continued to work to the limit, but it seemed Kazane's repeated consumption and absorption of magical power was so exhausting that she was still unable to wake up.

As Kazane continued to sleep, Tatsuo and Yuuko-nee continued watching over her.

Also, as was a matter of course, Kazane Cottage was conspicuous. That reflective and glittering object was seen as sacred by the people, and taking it from the owner Kazane's appearance, the people were calling Kazane Cottage Angel Palace.

In addition, Angel Kazane and Angel Fuune were recognized as the same person in the city.

After traveling around the city and saving the people from the Hirukos, Angel Kazane immediately went outside the city and fired a purifying light at the Odo Eater Leech swarm to destroy them, then defeated the Boss Giant Mana Eater Leech barehanded. After that, she returned to the city and transformed the Hirukos into shining objects to seal them... that's how the story became. And it was tacitly understood that her magic tank = her breasts.

In actuality, the chronological order was quite incoherent, but unfortunately, the only people who correctly grasped both situations were the members of the White Party. And since it was better than publicly spreading information about the Heroic Spirit, the people themselves didn't refute that story.

And the legend of the contradictory angel of destruction/regeneration and huge/small breasts was born here.

As for the city's situation, to begin with, the subjugation of the Odo Eater Leech swarm outside had already been completed. The ground had been gouged out by Jinrai's Railgun, but that area was an ordinary meadow, so aside from the terrible appearance, there was no particular damage. However, the monster corpses wouldn't disappear if they were left alone. Therefore, Lindo Kingdom's army was even now working around the clock to dispose of them.

Right now, if someone looked outside, they would see smoke rising from the meadow. If left alone, the corpses could become zombies, or other monsters could come and eat them, but above all, they were rotting, and even now, there was a fishy odor wafting through the city.

There had been around 3000 monsters in the swarm, and it was thought that about 700 of them were exterminated by the White Party. The majority of that was thought to be done by Jinrai's Thunder God Cannon. Though since those judgements were almost entirely based on visual estimates, in actuality, the total number and exterminated number were little more than suppositions.

As for the damage to the residents of the city, the damage caused by the Hirukos was concentrated in the slums and entertainment district. Perhaps because many were heavily addicted, it seemed even『Light from Heaven』couldn't return many of them to normal. Dozens of adventurers in this city had also become Hirukos, and it seemed half of them weren't cured by『Light from Heaven』.

Although some ordinary residents were also harmed by the Hirukos, compared to the total amount, it was almost insignificant. Since Black Potions were mainly sought by people who battled for work and wanted to become stronger, it seemed it hadn't been that pervasive among the city's residents. However, there were also people who had partially transformed into Hirukos despite having no memory of ever drinking a Black Potion, so currently, the route of intake was being determined.

The Crystallization-sealed Hirukos were currently in safekeeping and waiting for Naoki's Heroic Spirit to revive. However, for most of those Hirukos, a considerable amount of time had passed before they were Crystallized, so it was thought that they couldn't have very high expectations for them from the start.

And the biggest damage to the city was actually caused by fire, not Hirukos. The incident had happened just before dinnertime, and the houses of the residents who fled caught fire. Most of the residents escaped, but fire spread through their houses, and a considerable number were hopelessly ruined. The slums were almost completely burned down, and nearly half of the entertainment district was also burned.

That situation also had to be dealt with, so the city was hectically working the next day, and even when Kazane woke up two days after the incident, they still hadn't finished solving all the issues.

And now, on the rooftop of Kazane Cottage, which was now nicknamed Angel Palace, a meeting was being held with all the supervisors of the cleanup.

◎ Public Interest City Uumin, Feudal Lord Mansion Courtyard, Kazane Cottage Rooftop

「This is also a fantastic place.」

The feudal lord of this city, Morant, said those words.

The basic theme of Kazane Cottage's roof design was white, and a crystal dragon statue with water pouring out of its mouth played the central part. Until now, there had been tables and chairs set up for light relaxation, but now, those were very expensive-looking chairs and lavishly decorated tables.

Those were Indestructible series『Indestructible Chairs』and『Indestructible Tables』brought back by Naoki. Furthermore, furnishings of the Indestructible series, which boasted of eternal beauty, were lined up everywhere.

The feudal lord Morant and Luger of Lindo Kingdom's army were sighing as they were enchanted by that cosmetic beauty, but Anglais, who was together with them in that place, was just barely able to keep himself from fainting as the results of his Appraisal eye were displayed to him.

As a matter of fact, Anglais had already grasped the contents of the Cottage's first floor warehouse due to Ougi's『Mind's Eye: Acme』Skill.

He collapsed on the spot when Ougi told him about the various dragon bones, objects that looked like Crystallized meat, Odanobunaga equipment, and the several hundred Adamantium weapons placed inside. However, the detailed knowledge of those contents came from Ougi's ability, so the fact that they knew was naturally a secret.

Therefore, Anglais was desperately suppressing his desire to enter into price negotiations for the items in the warehouse, but he was close to his limit. As Anglais devouringly surveyed the rooftop by himself, Kazane and the others were already sitting and talking to each other.

「When I wanted to remember the sensation from the other day and went outside to shoot, I was severely scolded.」

「That's natural, moron. Even just hearing that sound reverberate made some soldiers burst into tears.」

「Restrain yourself, Jinrai-san.」

After Jinrai spoke, Luger and Kazane replied with rough voices.

Who was the person that said the words『wallowing in their own power』previously?

「Good grief. Kazane-chan, why don't you join us instead of teaming up with a man like that? If you enter Lindo Kingdom's army, you'll receive various kinds of preferential treatment.」

「Mmm. I already have various positions, though.」

And Kazane being Kazane, as ever, she was an elderly killer. Luger was sitting next to Kazane and talking familiarly. By the way, Kazane's current positions were Dragon Village's Dragon Empress and a Minshiana city's feudal lord. As might be expected, adding more by joining the military register of another country was out of the question.

『There's a little disturbance in Tsuvara. I suppose the best way to say it is that for now, we're making traces of where we've been?』

「So right now, you'll leave your name as Tsuvara's princess here.」

Mefirus and Louise answered Tiara's question. 14 days until the coronation. Their schedule was getting increasingly close to the limit. And they heard an unpleasant story about Tsuvara from Audin.

It seemed he obtained information that the aristocrats in Prince Shelkin's faction were planning an assassination to make the rumor that Audin assassinated Tiara into reality. And since they were a faction formed by the devil Diablo rather than actually being Shelkin's faction, it seemed they couldn't seize their tail no matter how hard they tried.

His sons' ineptitude was putting Mefirus in an extremely bad move, but he didn't want to worry his grandchild, so he was keeping a poker face. Since he had the body of a juvenile Griffon, that was probably hard to understand, though.

And currently present were three distinct groups: Kazane, Jinrai, Louise(+Mefirus), and Tiara; Anglais and the feudal lord Morant; and the person in charge of Uumin's army, Luger, accompanied by his aides.

「Well then, since everyone's present, I would like to discuss future measures. Please treat me well.」

After the feudal lord Morant said that, everyone closed their mouths, and the meeting began.
