Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
~3 years later~
“T-they’re out! They’re out! We’re on high alert! Defend this place for sure!”
A soldier’s voice sounds panicked.
Black smoke rises from everywhere, and the weak fall first.
Two shadows pass through the battlefield, defying hundreds of company-sized soldiers and a large number of traps.
“T-they’re monsters. ……”
“They’re too strong …… and how the hell did they know where we are?”
“Eei! They outnumber us by a long shot! Concentrate your arrows and magic on them! Just keep shooting!”
The person who seems to be in charge of the defence shouted, the magic troops began chanting in a hurry, and the archers clipped their arrows to their bows.
The archers then unleashed their attacks simultaneously, and a cloud of smoke rose as countless arrows and magic struck the assailants.
“D-Did we do it?”
The next moment, however, the two person were standing as if nothing had happened.
Not only were they undamaged, but even the hoods hiding their faces were intact.
The soldiers were terrified by their strength, even though they had not said a word, and desperately shot magic and arrows at them, but none of them reached the enemy.
The soldiers are becoming more and more upset as they see the figure walking slowly towards them in the midst of the stormy attack, as if it were taking a walk in the fields around there, looking like something non-human.
“…… I-Imposibble……?”
“That’s ridiculous …….”
Eventually, the assailants started running, seemingly exhausted.
The soldiers who panicked as they approached at once broke away and attacked recklessly, their footing was disrupted and the coordination was breaking down rapidly.
The attackers were not going to be stopped by such a poor attack and there was only about 20 metres between them
“T-This is definitely! If they get inside, it will be a death penalty! ”
“You’re talking nonsense, aren’t you? You’re not a captain if you talk like that.”
With these words, the rapier approaches the man in the rank of captain.
This was the last sight this man saw in this life.
◇◆◇
“It wasn’t as big a deal as I assumed. If this is the extent of the problem, I didn’t need to bother Rex sama. I’m sorry for misreading it.”
Iris takes off her hood and bows to me after taking out the man who seems to be the enemy captain.
It has been three years since I met Iris, and now that she is 17 years old, she has grown into a woman and become a slender and extremely beautiful woman.
I took off my hood too and shook my head.
“No, it’s fine, I can’t just sit around while everyone else is working.
I don’t mind this.”
When I found out that Iris had declared war on me, I was in despair, and I was completely carried as a flag bearer.
But I had declared, without pretence or remorse, that Iris and the others were like family, and I couldn’t just run away.
I was backed into a corner and had no choice but to agree to become a flagbearer. ……… Then I had an idea.
It’s time to lay low! I thought, If I just say, I’m in a quiet place, and go into hiding, I’ll be able to live peacefully!
I can give them a lot of orders, and if I say these things, they’re unlikely to start a fight
For the past three years, my intentions have been successful and we’ve made it this far without any all-out wars.
Thanks to this, we have made steady progress in protecting the oppressed people and have been able to make the ideal stand.
“H-hey ……, you don’t think that’s ……?”
“Isn’t that the two-top …… leader of the Black and White dragon Clan, Rex, the leader of the White Dragon, and Iris, the deputy leader of the Black Dragon ? …… Why is such a big name here!”
Those who seem to have noticed our identities shout in surprise.
The battle over the past three years has not been a major conflict, but we have been exposed by a small accident.
There is no need to hide our faces now, and we are in no particular hurry.
“Get out of here. I’ll let you off now.”
“H-Hii!”
“R-Run away! You can’t win against them!”
When I told them to run away, the surviving soldiers left like spiders scattering.
As expected There were no one left who still had the guts to fight against us in this situation.
“Wouldn’t it have been better if they all stopped breathing here?”
(T-that’s a disturbing thing to say. ……)
“That would have been a waste of life. I don’t like killing for nothing.”
Killing them all would have left a bad aftertaste.
Rumors can have many tails and if our strength is exaggerated to an unbelievable degree, the other side may be scared off and avoid fighting as much as possible.
That’s why I wanted to avoid killing as much as possible. ……
“As expected Rex sama. …… His kindness will be a comfort to those we shelter. We will spread rumours throughout the Empire that Rex sama is a wonderful man who helps and saves his people. ……!”
“You don’t have to go that far. There are probably fewer people who would choose to kill in this situation, right?”
“There’s a meaning in the fact that Rex-sama missed it. I don’t care about anyone else.”
No matter what I say or do, she takes it in a positive light and rejoices in me.
And this is not limited to Iris, but the rest of our friends also tend to be like that, and thanks to this, their expectations are too high for me to do anything poorly.
It’s one thing to say that people’s expectations have risen too high due to repeated lies, but it’s also unreasonable for people like me to have those expectations high even though I haven’t done anything.
I really want you to give me a break.
“……, please keep it in moderation. More importantly, did you get what you came for?”
“Yes, I did. It was probably around here…….
Now we’ve got what we came for.”
We raided a laboratory that the Empire had cleverly concealed.
The research data there was the objective of this robbery.
“I see. Then let’s get out of here.”
“Yes.”
We quickly left the lab before the imperial pursuers arrived, made sure we weren’t being followed, and decided to take a short break on an unpopulated hill.
“Thank you for your hard work, Rex sama. Shall I make you some tea?”
“No, I just need some rest, I’m fine. We’ll be off again soon.”
“Understood. As for our plans after we return, we have the Conference, so please keep that in mind.”
(Ugh …… that’s right ……)
The Council of Mitsurugi
It is a periodic meeting where the top executives of the Black and White Dragon Clan meet to receive instructions on policies, strategies and other matters.
They’re all good people, they’re like family, and they’re important, but …… they’re all too unique.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt sick to my stomach because of the disturbances they’ve caused. ……
I looked up at the sky and gave a faraway look at the impending hassle.
◇◆◇
“Rex sama. It appears that the Mitsurugis are already here.”
“All right. Let’s go immediately.”
I returned to the hidden headquarters of the Black and White dragon Clan and decided to head immediately to the conference room.
It’s bad to keep them waiting, and if they don’t have much time to take a break, I’d like to get things done quickly.
I walk with Iris to the designated meeting room.
And when the door opens…
“””Thank you for your hard work. Rex-sama”””
My friends (subordinates) stand up and bow at the same time.
I can only sigh at the stifling atmosphere that makes it difficult to do anything about it.
Please …… don’t cause any trouble ……!
