Chapter 69

The love story of Erinu Azel limes.

『Azel limes empires: Azel limes castle:  King room』

[Is it true? Father!]

Including me, the followers. No, the soldiers ran and gathered towards the king.

[…… Yes, Erinu.  About the Hero Gail, he has become like that, also…… the progress of Reinharein who is the younger sister too…….。I was able to finally notice that it was all caused by my indiscretion]

[Father……。To recognize his mistake ……]

I could not believe it.

Father hates to change manners and customs. No, the habit that has continued from generation to generation …….。

[Everyone will hear it, too. Just what I said now. At this moment, to all 1,000 soldiers who announced their candidacy for 『Hero candidate』――]

The history is going to change.

By her, after the 『War maiden』— Kazuha Axeplant-sama activity.

[—- I command to all members to be demoted to 『Alternate candidate』]

In the 《Azel limes  empire》, there is a 『Ceremony』 that has been inherited from generation to generation on behalf of the world.

The 《Spirit army》  was defeated in  the 《spirit demon war》 that happened several thousand years ago, and the world entered into the 『Dark age』which began  when a demon tribe rule over the world.

As for the 《King of Spirit》 who commanded the 《 Spirit Army 》, was sealed by the demon tribe,  and the remaining spirit tribe, dwarf tribe, elf tribe, and goblin tribe who took part in the『Spirit Army』, most were expelled.

The world population had been reduced already,  with the world that suitable for a 『Dark age』 where only the demon tribe dominates the top.

But, the survivor spirits were on the alert and a.s.sessing the opportunity of counterattack in secret.

Several thousand years have pa.s.sed, and the world situation changed gradually after the  『human tribe』  appeared in the world.

『――Exchanging 《contract》 with them, and working together to expel the 《demon tribe》 who is violating the world――』

At the time, humans gradually enlarged the territory in length in the form of a 『country』, and the spirit tribe who survived drew each others’ expectations.

The Spirit tribe granted knowledge about the [gene of magic] to the scholars of the human tribe.

And the human tribe was given a human – –  the 『Hero』 with sacred power equal to the head of the spirit tribe in the form called 『Ceremony』.

As a result, humans got the power of 《 magic 》 that only a demon tribe could use.

Also, the spirits made a 『Hero』, an strengthened human warrior to lead an attack  the territory of demon —-.

『Azel limes castle: Princess bedroom』

[But unexpectedly………。That father carries out a gender-equal system personally…]

There has been a custom of 『androcracy』 for a long time in this 《Azel limes empire》.

Men go to war, and women are specified to make a child for descendants prosperity. Such division of roles exists.

And if you want to become famous as a 『 Soldier 』  even if you applied, it will never happen, it was also determined that women couldn’t become a hero.

Reinharein Arugarudo who is the champion of the previous tournament compet.i.tion in the  《 Etherclan 》. She is superior in the sense of fighting than Gailsuto Arugarudo who is her older brother.

However, as for her, she hasn’t gained fame as a 『Hero candidate』 only because she is a  『woman』.

So she left the 《Azel limes castle》 and went on a trip to test her strength.

The reason was to change the thoughts1 of the《Azel limes king》  who is her father.

It will be the 『War maiden』- – Kazuha Axeplant-sama existence who will save this country without a mistake.

The name of 『War maiden』 who became her two name spread in an instant all over the world.

Moreover, she was founding a new country called 『Axeplant kingdom』 that’s still in the middle of the big news.

I wasn’t exaggerating, even if I say that the world has already paid attention to the trend of the war maiden Kazuha Axeplant by these two major news.

Even father may also not be against this world situation

『The power is needed, also it should give fair evaluations』

This words were said to the King at a meeting with the [King of Euphrates] before.

The words surely pierced his heart, for sure.

……

To get the t.i.tle of『Hero』 born in this country, it’s determined from two stages.

First, adventurers must raise each ones abilities and give an introduction as 『Alternate candidate』.

And next, when judged to have enough ability. It will be promoted to『Hero candidate』.

A t.i.tle as 『Hero』 will be granted by the king to the person who is suitable to have the power and lead the 『Hero army』 from there.

However, father gave the order to sort a new『 Hero 』, because the hero Gail stopped being a hero and then he returned all 『 Hero candidate 』to square one again.

Tomorrow I’m sure it will be announced officially in the nation and other countries, and everyone will start from the 『Alternate candidate』.

And now it is possible to obtain honor by the power of 『gender equality』, a harsh race for sorting the genuine 『Hero』.

[……What on earth will happen? Kazuha-sama……]

She is already the queen of another country.

I don’t think that she will return to 《Azel limes》 now and start from 『Alternate candidate』and aim to become a 『Hero』.

But…….。

[…..I wonder why. My 『heart』 …… she, Kazuha Axeplant-sama……]

I should not.

She is a woman.

But, I don’t know why, I was a.s.saulted by a very nostalgic feeling.

As if it was something I’ve always been longing for.

As if it was something I’ve always loved.

When both the sadness and the despair climbed all over, that time when I gained happiness, the feeling of happiness—-.

[……You……Who are you? Kazuha-sama……]

Of course, my voice cannot reach—-

—Tonight, I also spend a sleepless night.
