I’m Not Coming Back to Earth With a Girl Like You

28 – #028 It’s always like this.

It must have been a little over two months since the demon king fell.

Rumors that were not rumors spread all over the continent gradually began to turn out to be ‘true’.

I heard that the Fallen Hero Undertaker is crazy about demons, frees the demonic sword, and kills people.

One rumor called

.

I heard that the hero Undertaker is trying to kill other warriors while freeing the demonic sword. They say that those warriors are witches and will not die even if their heads are cut off.

One rumor called

.

Neither way is a reliable situation.

Because I haven’t personally seen the former, and I haven’t seen the latter either.

Just.

It’s a story that only those in the know know.

The latter story, that is to say, the four female warriors who said they were ‘witches’ are no longer people of this world.

All those who claim that the Commander, Femme Fatale, and Red Mage are witches are all known to have been killed by The Undertaker.

“At a glance, the empire has covered it.”

Gray-haired priest, Chief of Cape Town, Grand Duke Desmond Cape of the South analyzed numerous data in front of him and came up with a result.

“The emperor did something out of the blue. He was possessed by a woman and he killed all the soldiers of the empire to silence them.”

It is still unclear whether his thoughts are true or not, but intelligence, information, and circumstances tell everything.

But whatever the truth is, it doesn’t matter.

What the world knows is that the four surplus heroes are not witches, but that the hero Undertaker, who defeated the demon lord, became insane and freed the demon lord’s sealed weapon.

“After all, the empire has no choice but to follow the orders of the emperor.”

Desmond pulled out a book from the dusty bookshelf.

“‘Revolution’.”

As I touched the rather thick-covered book, the cover of the book came off, revealing another book inside.

“Heroes really had a lot of influence on this world. Not only did they defeat the demon lord, but they also spread ‘ideas’.”

What did they say?

Is it freedom or democracy?

The story of the warriors from another world made many people interested, and Archduke Desmond was also curious about the story of their world.

So I researched it.

I tried to find out everything about the politics, economy, society, and culture of the warriors in their world.

Those materials are in his hands.

“It may not be of any use just yet, but when the moment the Emperor of the Empire falls… Tsk, no. There is a femme fatale next to the Emperor. She will notice.”

It’s not that she’s very politically competent or anything like that, but she’s a woman with a high chance of becoming the next empress.

What if she gave birth to the emperor’s child?

And what if you don’t die as some wizards fear?

If you live forever and become the ruler of the empire, it might become a living legend of the empire.

“…I don’t know why the warriors don’t return to Earth, but I have to protect the people of my territory first.”

If Undertaker is rampaging, I will stop him.

If a femme fatale seizes control of the empire, even risking her life in rebellion will bring it back to normal.

If other warriors become witches, she will take up the torch first.

Either way, the information is too partial and too little.

As the Grand Duke of Nambu, what he most wants is for all the warriors to leave, but unfortunately, only the worst is foreseen.

“Your Excellency, I have a report. A report on the underground fortress.”

A young man dressed like a priest entered.

“What is it? Where are you from?”

“The Islands sent a letter saying that they will directly manage the underground fortress.”

“Is it the same elsewhere?”

“Yes. I’ve confirmed that the Grand Duke of the North also received the same letter. Leaving aside the West, the ‘Holy Land’ of the Eastern Kingdom will be the same.”

“Tsk.”

Desmond clicked his tongue and frowned.

“It’s not that they don’t believe us, but they send a lot of troops to the point where it’s a bit excessive. Is this an order from His Majesty the Emperor, or a femme fatale’s will?”

“How dare I.”

“Huh. Got it. First of all, double the number of patrol soldiers. Make the second shift interval shorter.”

“The fatigue of the soldiers will accumulate quickly.”

“They say they pay you three times your monthly salary while on shift patrol. And we select quite smart guys from among the enlisted soldiers and make them professional patrol guards. The magic palace must never be resurrected. Even if that’s…”

Desmond opened the cap on the locket that was hung around his neck.

“Even if it’s the Undertaker who buried my son and grandson.”

“Yes. And one more thing to report.”

“See?”

“Yes. That… You may be embarrassed.”

The priest pointed outside.

“‘That person’ will inspect it himself.”

* * *

Arrived at the underground fortress.

Avoiding the eyes of the soldiers on patrol, Kramuta and I took a moment to catch our breath.

“The soldiers are denser than I thought. The Storm Ditch is completely different.”

“If Storm Island is a place where its existence is hidden, this place is known but protected by so many people.”

There are quite a lot of soldiers.

I thought I would be able to enter the secret passage through the cemetery and get to the place where the palace is located, but unexpectedly, there are too many soldiers patrolling.

Despite the fact that it is not a trap area that the wizard has placed.

“What the heck is this place? No matter how much the palace is sealed, they’re patrolling this far, right? That’s with the priests?”

“The lord of this place, Grand Duke Desmond of the South, lost his son and his wife and grandson to the Demon Palace.”

“Ah.”

Kramut A immediately shut his mouth.

“The entire family was attacked by the magic palace while riding in a wagon. The Grand Duke of Nambu wanted revenge, and fought together to defeat the magic palace. And now he is guarding the fortress that seals the magic palace.”

“Isn’t the Southern Grand Duke a nobleman? A fortress managed by a temple here?”

“The Grand Duke of Nambu is a devout follower of the Goddess. In terms of church, he is a paladin with a cardinal-class distribution and holy power equivalent to the vice-captain of the Holy Knights.”

“An underground fortress guarded by such an existence… Isn’t it dangerous?”

Kramuta muttered in a slightly less confident voice.

“It’s a place that has been sealed with magic and divine power. How are you going down?”

“It’s not like threatening the soldiers. That’s not to say you can’t use the Grand Duke of Nambu as a hostage to liberate the palace.”

I drew a picture in the air using mana.

“If you think about the 10th floor, only the 1st to 3rd floors are patrols. This is just a place made for interception. And from about the 4th floor, the archmage’s traps are spread.”

“It’s terrible. It’s annoying that it’s sealed with divine power, but the road to it is covered with traps. How do you manage this?”

“I don’t manage it. The archmage made it so that the trap can be maintained as long as mana is continuously injected without maintenance.”

When this fortress was built, I heard the people who built it right beside me.

“They said that the trap would easily last for 100 years without maintenance.”

“A seal?”

“Forever. As long as the goddess exists, they say that the seal will not be broken unless the goddess herself breaks the seal.”

I took the ring from my bosom.

“With this, you can break the seal. Maybe.”

“Maybe? Not sure?”

“Everything I do is uncertain, right now. The liberation of the demonic sword, Kramuta, and the cutting off of the hero’s head with the demonic sword are all uncertain, but I said that I should think about it after trying it.”

“So, do you want to release the seal like that in the palace?”

“Of course. First of all, let’s go through the patrol area quickly. It’s actually where the magic trap is.”

“…I’m nervous. Can you tell me in advance?”

“I don’t like it.”

I opened the warehouse door.

“Huh?”

I quickly ran forward to the soldier who was about to enter the warehouse, grabbed him by the collar, and immediately hit him in the stomach.

“Gee, heo-euk…!”

The soldier passed out.

Judging from the smell of alcohol coming from the canteen in his hand, it seems that he was secretly trying to drink a bottle in the warehouse, but unfortunately he got the timing wrong.

“It’s cha.”

After putting the soldier in the warehouse, I poured the remaining alcohol over his body and lower body.

“It’s a bad taste.”

“It’s wrong to be stuck in a warehouse to drink alone while others are working. It reminds me of someone.”

“Who?”

“…All four?”

I quietly moved the maze-like fortress.

Kramut also followed me quietly,

“Who are you! Whoa!”

“Sorry. I’m in the way.”

If a soldier with good intuition appeared, he immediately stunned him and knocked him down before moving forward.

And it wasn’t long before we moved on-

aaaeng.

The magic alarm started to sound.

It was an alarm notifying an intruder, and I checked to see if the fallen soldier had sounded the alarm magic.

“It’s not…”

“What isn’t it?”

“We’re not caught, now?”

Embarrassed.

“Damn what?”

Trollian is here right now. Who caused this mess by arguing that they would raid it?

“I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but if he gets caught, he’ll be beaten.”

* * *

Dear, dear.

The alarm goes off.

Emperor Az-Zan hastily stretched out his hand.

“Senna!”

“Ah…”

Femme fatale Mincena, a woman in a red dress that seemed to match the emperor, scratched her cheek with one hand at the sparkling red magic circle in front of her.

“… I didn’t touch it. She said she rang it on her own.”

“I’m sorry. Grand Duke Cape.”

“It’s okay. When the report goes up that all the soldiers in each position are safe in their respective positions, and all safety reports come in, you can turn it off at that time.”

Grand Duke K.F sent an annoyed look at the femme fatale, then immediately retrieved it.

“I’ll turn it off right away. Soldiers are skilled beings…”

Dear, dear.

The alarm never stops.

“……Looks like an intruder has arrived.”

“Who, me? Ha, what kind of intruder am I…!”

“Not a femme fatale.”

Someone.

“…Soldiers in all 7 districts did not report safety. If you connect them…It seems like they are going underground.”

“!!”

They broke into the underground fortress.
