Chapter 30: Return

“Then do your best, Vigna!”

“Tell me when you have kids!”

“Shut up! But thank you!”

With these words, Vigna, her face bright red, got on the steam car. She said she was going to see her friends, but it seems she was just giving a status report to the lady knights.

But didn’t someone say something about children?　Maybe she was just being mellow?

“Hey, Vigna, what the hell were they talking about?”

“If I hear any more, I’ll sue you for sexual harassment!”

“Too bad, As a lord, I am entitled to justice. No, I’m sorry, I got carried away. So don’t draw your sword silently, I can’t win!”

“I detect both shame and joy from you, Vigna-sama.”

“Hey, Galatea, shut up and drive!”

Vigna’s face turns red and she complains to Galatea, who teases her with a giggle. She seems to be very embarrassed. If I mention this topic any more, I might get killed for real.

“Vigna is so cute.”

“Hmmm… it’s natural.”

I think again as I stare at Vigna, who is blushing red and Galatea, who seems to be enjoying herself. I want to protect this everyday life…… but in order to do so, I’ll have to fulfill this request of my shitty father.

Right now I don’t have the strength to rebel just yet, and this time it’s not an invasion, it’s an aid to another country. It’ll be useful in the future to borrow money from the neighboring countries here.

“Hey, Vigna…… how long does it take to prepare for an expedition to a neighboring country?”

“I don’t think it’ll take that long…… Even though the number of soldiers has increased somewhat, only a handful of them are skilled enough to take on an expedition……. The rest is up to you, Grace to take over. There are some things that Noah can’t decide……”

“Well…… roughly, I’d say a month….. my asshole of a brother has a lot of them, but he would’ve gotten the information earlier than I did, so he would have prepared in advance and that’s just in time…..”

There was no specific time frame for this reinforcement. The only reason I dared to do this is because my fucking father is pitting me and George against each other as if it were a game. The sooner we send reinforcements, the better, but if they are too few in number, they’ll not be a force to be reckoned with, so there is no point.

I need soldiers of a certain skill level and a certain number of them. Am I at too much of a disadvantage?

“The enemy this time is mineral ants, right? That would mean they’d be numerous and hard, so we’d need a wizard or a high-powered weapon.”

“It’s not just one powerful monster like a dragon and since we’ll be fighting in a mine, we can’t just leave it to Galatea…..”

I nodded at Vigna’s words as she looked at the materials she was given this time.

Mineral ants are monsters that live in mines and eat minerals as their staple food, and are about the same size as a person. Their bodies are said to be in proportion to the hardness of the minerals they eat and they work in swarms.

Generally, they are defeated by magic, but unfortunately, there are few people in Asgard who can use magic. Galatea might be able to crush them with her bare hands, but she is the only one.

Maybe the original person in charge of this was Kyle…… With that guy and his men, whose personality is overkill but whose magic skills are top-notch, it would have been an easy win.

“Anyway, when I get back, I’ll ask if there are any jobs available for wizards who are good at combat and if we can invent some new weapons……”

“Well, in this day and age, I’m sure we could hire some adventurers if we paid them enough.”

Now I just have to tell Bowman that his hometown is in trouble…. I’m a little queasy at the thought of that. As I’m thinking about this, I notice something noisy in the plaza of Asgard.

“No, what are those guys doing?”

There were several golems surrounded by a group of residents making some kind of noise.
