Chapter 661

TENKEN 661 What Happened After

It had already been ten days since the great magic beast was defeated.

Weena Rhyn――or Weena's handling of the aftermath is now complete. Although the feudal lords and adventurer's guilds in the area are the ones who actually take action, Weena was the one who gave the various instructions.

Many were astonished to see her changed appearance, but her influence seemed to be much the same.

It may be because her power is not yet known to have been greatly weakened, but it is probably due to her past record.

Also, the fact that she had defeated that great magic beast that was visible from the town seemed to have helped increase her influence even more.

The adventurers, for example, looked at her like she was a hero. They were in complete obedience to her instructions.

When she had finished giving some instructions, she handed over the work to the government officials who had been dispatched, and Weena returned to the academy.

The officials really wanted her to stay, but they couldn't force her to stay. In the end, they had no choice but to let Weena go.

We were also able to return to the academy with Weena after completing a few quests for reconstruction.

The academy was also in an uproar over Weena's appearance, but as expected, things seemed to have calmed down after two days. Normally, the students don't have much contact with Weena Rhyn, and when it's explained to them that there's no problem, they probably think that there's really no problem at all.

The teachers still can't seem to get used to it, but I guess they'll have to learn to accept it over time.

Well, it doesn't matter to us who will be leaving the academy soon.

「So, you're sure you want us to keep Zelos Reed?」

「Nn」

Now we were discussing with Weena and the others about the treatment of Zelos Reed and Romio.

This had been bothering me as well.

She made a promise that she'd get his life for something, but I don't think Fran would kill Zelos Reed now.

Fran feels a strong emotional attachment to Romio and Sierra. She found out that there was some similarity between them and herself. It may not be friendship, but she felt some kind of sympathy for them.

If she were to kill Zelos Reed, she would certainly be resented by Romio and Sierra, and they would be her enemy. Even Fran would not like that.

Of course, it doesn't mean that her hatred for Zelos Reed has disappeared, but if she was asked to kill him, I don't think she would.

The fact that Kiara herself has told us that avenging her is pointless is probably a big factor. I hate to say it, but we already have an excuse to get away with it without killing Zelos Reed.

And Fran's decision was to leave Romio and Zelos Reed in Weena's care.

When we thought about Romio's sake, it was not a bad idea.

Romio's wish is not to be in a privileged environment or under the protection of a gentle guardian, but to be with Zelos Reed.

However, Zelos Reed is being hunted as a criminal. There are few places where he can walk around with his head held high. And the academy, with its self-governing rights, was one of those few places.

Also, with Weena and Rhyn's power weakened, the academy is without any exceptional strength. Zelos Reed's power will be needed by the academy.

It was a decision that would allow us to trade favors with Romio, Zelos Reed, Weena, Sierra, all of them. Well, I don't think Fran would think that far ahead though.

Rather, it was as if she had been wondering what to do, and then pushed it to Weena. Perhaps she had been thinking so much that she had lost her sense.

Sierra and the magic sword Zelos Reed had disappeared when we noticed them.

In their case, there was no reason for them to stay here. They weren't committing any crimes, and they weren't being commissioned by the academy. Their status in this world was that of mere adventurers.

However, he was probably still concerned about the treatment of Romio and Zelos Reed. But once he had seen it, he had no more business here anymore.

I don't know where he went, but I think he went after the magic sword Zelyse. Zelyse from this timeline is dead, but the real revenge for Sierra and the others is the magic sword Zelyse.

I didn't know what happened to Nameless in the end. Weena also said that she didn't know about those little things, and it was very likely that they had escaped.

All that remains is for us to figure out our future.

Fran's role as an instructor has ended. In the past, she was forced to become an instructor in order to deceive the spirits of the academy who were about to turn against her. No, Fran doesn't mind about it, because she came to the academy to become an instructor.

By saving Weena and the others, she was officially recognized as having served as an instructor. It seemed that even if she quit her position as an instructor, she would no longer be attacked by the guardian spirits.

I wondered if the contract would be okay with Weena becoming weaker, but she said there would be no change to the contract that was already signed. In other words, the academy's defense will continue to be ironclad. Even Rhyn is going to be a part of it.

「You saved my life this time. Thank you」

Weena bows her head deeply.

Her tone has not changed at all from when she was still Weena Rhyn. However, there is clearly a change inside.

The instability that I had felt before was gone, and I could listen to her with some peace of mind, as if she was mentally stable now that she was no longer two souls in one body.

I think she's back to being the real Weena.

「It's just that I'm struggling to find the right rewards」

「Not money?」

「I'll give you money, of course. But I'm not going to just say thank you after all the help I've received. I'm going to pay you what you deserve」

「Oo~」

Fran's eyes light up at Weena's words. It's a reward that a very important person like her would say is worthy. It seems to be quite promising. I think Fran understands that.

「What'll you give me?」

「For the time being, let's start with the reward I promised you first」

「Promised?」

「Yeah, you remember that, don't you, Sword-san?」

『Oh, you mean that. Of course』

「I see」

Fran seemed to remember too. Well, how could I forget.

「I'll give you information on intelligence weapons that didn't go crazy」
