History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 362
362fury. extend vacation (2)
- hey! Lloyd Frontera-!
A shout that suddenly and harshly stabs my eardrums..
Lloyd frowned at that soulful cry of anger..
He quickly realized where the epicenter of the shout was coming from..
‘It's a surprise. What. Weren't you enjoying your vacation??’
He asked towards the inside of his mana heart..
Then, from inside, the protest of the former Spirit King, Panthalassa, returned at the speed of light..
- What a way to enjoy a vacation! I almost died!
‘uh? why?’
- Why are you asking because you really don't know?!
How unfair and angry are they that they are screaming and shaking their voices like that?.
Lloyd felt puzzled..
Panthalassa's subsequent shout cleared his doubts..
- The heat that just poured into your Manahat! What on earth was that? I almost got caught up in it and almost melted into nothingness.!
‘uh?’
- Uh, what is!
‘Umm. No, I'm not trying to make excuses. I really didn't know. sorry.’
Lloyd was upset inside..
He readily admitted that he had forgotten something..
‘Actually, this was something I had planned from the beginning, to absorb summer's eyes. So I just pushed ahead with the plan. That was today. But I couldn't tell you in advance. This is my fault. I'm really sorry.’
When you make a mistake, it is right to apologize clearly..
The more you use this excuse or that excuse, the more ugly it gets..
Recalling that fact, Lloyd clearly admitted his mistake..
‘But what about you? Are you okay??’
- It's okay.
Panthalassa responds with a snap, as if shooting a thorn..
It was still rough, but I felt a little more relaxed than before..
- It was almost completely destroyed. Because it was the most excruciatingly hot heat I've ever experienced..
‘Still, I didn't die and lived..’
- Are you kidding me??
‘I'm glad.’
- I think it's okay to make fun of him.
‘If you accept it that way, there is nothing you can do..’
I shrugged my shoulders in embarrassment..
I felt like I had a general idea of what Panthalassa had been through..
‘That's it. I was completely satisfied with the air conditioning, but suddenly hot water was poured on me. Right?’
- I don't know what an air conditioner is, but it seems accurate to say that hot water was poured. So I want to ask. Isn’t there something like this in our promise??
‘Uh, wait a minute. A promise? I never made that promise..’
- what?
Panthalassa paused..
Lloyd said, pointing out the facts..
‘Really. You asked to stay in my Manahat and I granted it. But in the process, have I ever guaranteed or promised that the conditions or environment of my Manahat will remain the same? It wouldn't have been like that..’
- …….
‘I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance what you were going to experience today, but that doesn't mean it's a breach of promise. There is moral responsibility, but there is no legal responsibility. Just like that?’
- Huh. This person said let's see.
There was a hint of anger in Panthalassa's voice again..
But Lloyd didn't care..
He clearly apologized for his mistakes..
I had no intention of giving any more responsibility or compensation than that..
So instead, he readily offered what consideration he could..
‘Then what should I do? Now, no matter how angry you are or how much you protest, the environment in my Manahat will never go back to being as cold as before. Because I've already finished absorbing summer's eyes. So choose.’
- Choose what??
‘Either stay like this in my Manahat. Or go back to the Pantara Mountains.’
- …….
‘If you want, I will neatly give up and hand over the Spirit King position that was handed over to me..’
Lloyd spoke frankly..
This seemed like the best consideration he could give..
‘From your perspective, it's like going back to where you were. Everything will be restored to its original state. Of course, I will lose the help of the lower-level spirits entrusted with managing the mountain railway, so I will have to go through the hassle of mobilizing additional manpower. I think that's something I can accept if I think it's my responsibility for causing harm to you. how?’
- …….
Lloyd's unexpectedly honest and plain suggestion.
Panthalassa was silent for a moment after receiving the offer..
calmed down the anger.
I calmly looked at myself.
What do you want to do in this situation?.
After thinking about it for a while, the answer came out surprisingly easily..
- hate.
‘what? no?’
- Yes. I don't want to go back.
‘To the Pantara Mountains? why?’
Lloyd tilted his head..
It was because I didn’t understand it at first..
I thought you would be happy about the offer to relinquish the position of Spirit King of the Pantara Mountains..
Surprisingly, Panthalassa resolutely expressed his refusal..
- If you ask why... … Because it’s such a waste. Ending this vacation here.
‘haha?’
- Honestly, yes. It was the first rest and luxury I had enjoyed in tens of millions of years. No, I haven't been able to enjoy it properly yet. I was about to enjoy it from now on. But now I have to go back to the Pantara Mountains... … I have to start the work of the Spirit King again... … This feels a little unfair.
‘aha.’
Panthalassa's grumbling complaints.
Lloyd captured that feeling exactly as soon as he heard it..
‘Well, I know roughly how you feel. What if, on the afternoon of the first day of vacation, you get a call from work saying something urgent has come up and telling you to stop your vacation and go to work right away? Everyone would feel sad, unfair, and angry about that. Even if it were Buddha, Jesus, or Gandhi, they would lose their senses and start shouting. It's the same thing as that..’
- I don’t know who Buddha, Jesus, or Gandhi are, but… … I think you understand my feelings. right. It's too unfair to end my long-awaited vacation here and go back already. I don't like that.
‘Then I'll stay in my manahat?’
- no.
‘what?’
- It's so hot here now that I can't live there. But I don't want to stop my vacation right now and go back to the Pantara Mountains. I hate both.
‘Hey, then what should I do?.’
Lloyd clicked his tongue and asked.
Panthalassa's reply came back quickly..
- Please introduce me to a place as cool and comfortable as the old Nemanahat..
‘her? If I introduce you, you can go there and enjoy the rest of your vacation.?’
- That's it. Is there such a place??
‘Hmm.’
After listening to it, Panthalassa’s proposal wasn’t bad..
Maybe both this side and that side could be satisfied..
‘Then let's see…….’
Lloyd had his cerebral cortex pumped..
Records seen in the novel Iron-Blooded Knight.
And the places I visited myself.
Among them, I thought about a place where Panthalassa could live comfortably..
Of course the answer came quickly.
the coldest place in the world.
Among them, places you have been to.
At the same time, a place where Panthalassa settles would itself be beneficial to the region.?
‘Hmm, if you like it that cold. Would you like to go to the North Pole??’
- north… … pole?
Lloyd's subtle question made Panthalassa's heart beat..
♣
The result of the proposal to go to the North Pole was beautiful..
Not only was it beautiful to Lloyd and Panthalassa, but it was also extremely beautiful to the mermaids of the Arctic Ocean..
It was a win-win for everyone.
First of all, the first person to be satisfied was Panthalassa..
- I never thought there would be such a beautiful place in the world!
He was a former spirit king who had not left the Pantara Mountains for tens of millions of years..
The only exceptional place I've been to was Lloyd's Manahat..
Therefore, immediately after arriving at the North Pole?
Panthalassa must have felt the shock as if his eyes would pop out..
The thinly icy sea you see wherever you go.
If you look, there are countless icebergs scattered around..
There's even a sharp wind that feels like it's going to tear your skin apart.!
It was beautiful.
It was almost perfect.
There's just one thing, the only thing that's disappointing?
- What is that? There's something strange in the sky?
Panthalassa, who had been amazed by the environment of the Arctic Ocean ever since he left Lloyd's Manahat, pointed to the sky..
There was a huge glowing hole there..
It was Hell Gate connected to hell..
Panthalassa's eyes became harsh as she looked at the Hell Gate..
- This place called the North Pole is really nice. I like it all. Except for one thing, that one. Why is there something so hideous in such a beautiful place? Why is there such a strange hole blowing out hot air in this fantastic cold?.
Did I really not like Hellgate?.
Panthalassa moved before anyone could say anything..
He gathered all his strength and created a cold storm..
The hot wind flowing from Hell Gate was pushed away by a cold storm..
Like an air conditioner opposing a hot air blower.
We started a fight to see who would win..
And unexpectedly, I won..
The secret was simple.
The cold storm was fixed in front of the Hell Gate..
As if throwing away a cold air curtain.
The hot wind blowing out of the Hell Gate was neutralized with cold air..
Thanks to this, the wind around me became cooler..
That was enough.
Originally, it was a polar region located at a high latitude and lacking in sunlight..
In addition, the hot wind coming from Hell Gate was neutralized, and that alone brought down the soaring temperature..
Arctic warming caused by Hellgade.
The long-standing problem had finally been solved..
Thanks to this, the mermaids were happy and fell asleep..
Lloyd, who was watching it, also felt relieved..
“……Although they just put a bunch of modifiers on it, it actually looks like they got rid of an annoying lump..”
“Well, roughly.”
Hehehe-!
Leaving behind the receding Arctic Ocean.
Lloyd shrugged his shoulders on the back of Yongyong’s hand..
I opened my flounder eyes and smiled shamelessly at Javiel, who was looking at me..
“But thanks to that, everyone is satisfied.?”
it was true.
Panthalassa can now continue its vacation in the Arctic cold.
Mermaids escaped the problem of Arctic warming that had been bothering them..
This side is also able to relieve the guilt and burden of the Spirit King with one cue..
Literally a win-win.
I like my sister and my brother-in-law..
Catch pheasants and pick eggs.
Eat Baron and win a teamfight.
Even the group assignments received full marks through unprecedented collaboration..
It was like such a miraculous(?) result was created..
“So now I have to say hello from the royal capital..”
“Greetings?”
“King who... … Your Majesty.”
I thought it was time to do that..
It was a yard where I even got the summer eyes that I had originally aimed for..
To be honest, I no longer had anything to do with the capital or the king..
‘Moreover, we will have to find a way to prevent the restoration of fate phenomenon from now on..’
All the way back to the royal road.
While requesting an audience with the royal palace,.
While walking to the office for an audience with the king,.
Lloyd thought about the phenomenon of restoration of fate.
He was intent on finding an answer to the alternative that either he or Javiel would have to die or disappear..
Of course, even if you think about it for a while and focus, it won't be an easy answer..
‘But it doesn't matter.’
There's still plenty of time.
That's what I figured out by looking at the previous ending spoiler..
As expected, there are still nearly two years left until the restoration of fate begins in earnest..
So, you'll just have to think about it some more..
You just have to hang on and struggle harder..
If I do that, wouldn’t I be able to find an answer until at least two years pass?.
Wouldn't it be possible to find an answer that will satisfy everyone even if neither you nor Haviel dies or is sacrificed?.
So it is inevitable.
What I dreamed of so much.
Ordinary yet leisurely.
I wanted to live that kind of life.
‘I really want to do that.’
I've been suffering all my life.
At least it's been like that ever since I grew up..
So, I want to live a normal life at least once..
I want to enjoy life leisurely, without feeling sad about not being good enough or worrying about tomorrow..
It was a time with no regrets. I look back on my life's journey..
I wanted to experience the twilight of my life like that..
‘I definitely will do it.’
Lloyd carefully made a small wish..
Even though I kept repeating my firm resolution in my heart, I saw it..
Let's work harder for the next two years to live the life we even dream of..
No matter what happens, don't become weak or break your heart..
you can do it.
you are that kind of guy.
I promised myself, encouraged myself, and took steps..
And entered the king's office..
I wanted to say goodbye.
It looks like there will be no business in the royal capital for the time being..
So now he wants to go back to his territory..
“Lloyd Frontera, the eldest son of the Frontera family, comes to meet His Majesty the King, the rightful ruler of Magentano..”
Opened with greetings.
So as not to offend the king.
So that she doesn't feel sad.
I chose and loaded my words carefully..
As soon as the king returns his greetings, he will immediately say goodbye..
I promised that.
But the next moment.
The moment King Alicia turns towards this direction.
The moment when a welcoming smile faintly appears on her face.
Lloyd completely forgot the goodbye he had prepared..
“…….”
The king's gaze was warmer than expected.?
Her smile was unexpectedly bright?
It wasn't all.
‘for a moment?’
King Alicia turns towards us..
That short, extremely simple and simple action..
But her left arm in that movement was awkward..
Like the arm of someone who is under anesthesia.
Or as if experiencing a slight paralysis..
But I'm trying not to show off to others.
It was only for a moment, but it was clearly visible..
At that moment, Lloyd suddenly remembered.
‘Left arm, paralysis symptoms.’
Last ending spoiler I saw.
King Alicia suffered from paralysis of her left arm..
The moment I recall that memory.
He had to have a hunch..
I had to realize.
Without even knowing it.
I thought there was still room left.
The time of cruel choice was suddenly approaching before our eyes..
