The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World Chapter 39

“Now then, it is time to study, Hardt-sama!”

In front of me, Mylene pushes her gla.s.ses up while she looks at me. She turns completely into a teacher today as wellー.

“Please take care of me, Mylene”

“Yes! Well then, let us explain about the countries on this continent! I think it will be tiresome since there are several small and medium countries so, I think I will introduce the countries that are seemingly important hereafter, firstly, from the country that Hardt-sama has as his objective, Fisland Holy Kingdom. Fisland Holy Kingdom, a large country that can even be said to be this continent’s supreme ruler, about 20 million in population, the Holy King is the top, there is a chancellor, ministers, and so forth underneath him but, what I want you to take note of in particular is the Holy Kingdom’s 12 strongest people called the Twelve Holy Devas”

“Twelve Holy Devas?”

What is up with that? There are such people?

“Yes. They are the people who were given the names of the astrological signs, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. 12 people who were crowned those respective names”

“Are those, the strongest in the Holy Kingdom?”

“Yes. I also only know to the extent of rumours but, it’s to the extent where the Twelve Holy Devas’ orders take priority over the Holy King during wartime or something like that. Though until now, that authority has apparently never been put into operation”

Mumu, which means as long as I’m meddling with the Holy Kingdom, the battle with them is unavoidable. It’s bothersome but I guess it can’t be helped.

“Apart from that Twelve Holy Devas, there is the Paladins Squad that Liscisama was in and the likes of Magicians Squad as well. As might expect from being the largest country on the continent, their talents are also plentiful”

As I thought, I have to build up even more strength than I have right now to compete with the Holy Kingdom. Right now, the number of underlings have reached close to 10 thousand at last but, it’s completely insufficient.

“Is it fine if I continue on?”

“Nn, please do”

It’s no use to think about it now. I just have to soundly build up my strength now. When I stop thinking and gives a smile encompa.s.sing the meaning of ‘Please’ to Mylene, Mylene grins and destroys her expression and looks at me. And then, Mylene who realised her expression has collapsed coughs with a ‘Kohon’ and returns to the explanation. How cute~.

“We, well then, I shall continue. Though there are several medium countries in the vicinity of the Holy Kingdom, they are all either ally countries or va.s.sal nations. Their scale is also from 2 million to an upwards of about 8 million in population. Amongst that also exists Anders Kingdom where Hardt-sama’s birthplace is located”

“I see, it seems those va.s.sal nations can be used huh, the ally countries might also be usable if it goes well”

“That is right, although called an alliance, I hear that there are numerous unfair things. There is probably some opportunity to take advantage of. And then, one of the countries I would like you to remember, situated to the west of the Holy Kingdom, Demon Country Estekia”

“Demon Country Estekia”

“Yes. A country with the population of about 12 million, it is a country governed by the Demon Race. Apart from the Demon Race, there are also Human Race, Beastfolk Race, Elf, Dwarf, and so forth, it is a country where even multiple races are living in large numbers. At that summit is the Demon Race’s King, the Demon King is the top, underneath him are 7 generals called the Seven Demon Generals”

Seven Demon Generals. It’s something like the Holy Kingdom’s Twelve Holy Devas huh.

“The Seven Demon Generals are, Satan(Wrath), Lucifer(Pride), Leviathan(Envy), Belphegor(Sloth), Mammon(Greed), Beelzebub(Gluttony), Asmodeus(l.u.s.t), the ones who are crowned with the name of the seven deadly sins. However, this country has unceasing skirmishes with the Holy Kingdom since the past”

“From the perspective of the Human Race doctrine’s Holy Kingdom, I guess the Demon Country where multiple races live is something of an eyesore?”

Mylene who nods at what I said. This here looks like it’s usable as well but, it’s far. Amongst the countries that are closest to the Holy Kingdom, it’s the largest country next to the Holy Kingdom. It’s a place I want to have some point of contact though.

“And then, upon going towards to the Holy Kingdom from Mestoa Kingdom, the country we presently live in, there are countries that we decidedly cannot avoid”

“Ahー, Glenberg Empire, right”

“Yes, it is the largest country amongst the countries in this vicinity. A large country with the population of close to 10 million, it is not Human Race doctrine over here but, it is a country that only recognizes the other races as slaves”

“But, if I’m not wrong, near Glenberg Empire are the countries that the Beastfolk Race and the Demi-human Race govern, right?”

“Yes. This side as well, there are numerous skirmishes like the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Country, the conflicts are unceasing. Although they are not large-scale wars, there are apparently kidnapping and the likes of the other races taking place”

“Fhuーn, then, that Glenberg Empire is the first turning point huh. We got our hands on the foundation so let’s build up our strength little by little”

“I agree. It is no use even if we are impatient about it now”

Mylene who gives a suggestion that’s aligned with my thoughts. Our war potential right now is, about 10 thousand dead spirits, Liscia, Chrono, Nero, and then Fia.

Although there are also those amongst the dead spirits who are moderately strong, I want those who possess self like Nero and the others to become my subordinates if possible.

After that, I listen even more regarding the surrounding countries and, there is a knock on the door. When Mylene replies, the door opens and the one who entered was

“……Hardt, the bath’s drawn”

It was Fia with a sour look. Since I put her under my servitude, it has been this kind of feeling the entire time. To Fia’s att.i.tude, Mylene is glaring at her with a look that she doesn’t use to me. Fia who notices that also doesn’t show any indication of being particularly bothered by it and turns away with going ‘Fhunn’.

……The two of you are scary. I wish you guys can get along slightly.

“Is that so, thank you, Fia. Well then Mylene, let’s leave it here for today. Do you want to enter the bath together?”

“! O, of course! Please let me enter alongside!”

“What about Fia?”

“Whaa!? Whwhwh, who wants enter with you! I’ll definitely not enter!”

Fia who’s angry with her face beet red. What an amusing fellow. Fia’s under my servitude so even if I don’t go out of my way to get her permission, I can make her listen to what I say but, there’s a part of me who’s enjoying this exchange.

Mylene who’s grinning and Fia who’s angry with her face steaming red. Though Fia only has to accompany us halfway, she accompanies us until the bathroom.

“Fia, as I thought……”

“I’m not entering!”
