The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

246 – Scene 246# I Hope Wendy Hears Only Good Things From Us

*

-The unit led by Leon encountered and defeated a group of White Fengs. There are no injuries.

-The unit led by Laura encountered and defeated an ice bear. 1 person injured.

In a moving carriage, I was receiving reports of the war situation through a crystal ball.

As expected, the appearance of monsters became more frequent as they got closer to the Northern Garden, but they did not pose a significant threat in front of a large army of 100,000 men.

At this rate, it seemed like we could reach Northern Garden tomorrow afternoon.

It was the start of a smooth expedition.

The only problem so far is the reporting issue from the imperial troops.

There were colorful crystal balls placed on the simple table.

It was decided to receive reports directly through crystal balls distributed to commanders and unit leaders in each unit, but so far only a handful of people have reported.

This may be because they thought it was necessary to report even the smallest details. Or maybe it’s because he’s busy commanding the imperial army in an unfamiliar environment.

Now, it doesn’t really matter since we are receiving real-time reports from Aslan’s members assigned to each unit, but it cannot continue like this.

It might be a good idea to talk about this again when we arrive at Roelgreen Castle.

“Count.”

When I looked up, I saw Helga’s face looking at me with concern.

“Why don’t you close your eyes for a moment? “I think now is the only time I can rest if I have to go scouting later in the evening.”

She, a confidant who only cares about me, is taking on the role of her staff during this expedition.

Although I did not order them to do so, they diligently went back and forth between each unit and controlled the marching speed. Thanks to this, the expeditionary force was advancing toward the Northern Garden neither too fast nor too slow.

He usually only showed a clumsy side in front of me, but he still showed a dependable side on the battlefield as Aslan’s vice-captain.

“I’m fine.”

“Otherwise, it’s okay for the Count to rest. It’s enough to do reconnaissance on our own…”

“No. “I will go and see for myself.”

Before operating the separate unit in earnest, I planned to scout around this area. Even though it was far from Northern Garden, there was a possibility that there might be demons or monsters lurking there.

At night, the activities of monsters become more active.

That’s why you want to go scouting at night. Of course, it is that dangerous, but I decided to accompany this reconnaissance myself to prepare for any unexpected variables.

Helga shook her head sadly.

“I’m worried that you’re overdoing it again. Look. “Some people have already fallen asleep.”

“… Hmm.”

I looked at Wendy, who was sleeping with her lap on my side as a pillow.

Her daily routine in this unfamiliar place must have been difficult for her.

Even I was exhausted just by going back and forth between different units. I wondered what she was going to do about Wendy, but she followed me along without showing any signs of hardship.

He is such an amazing child.

The Ruelberta family’s top-class carriage was kept warm by drinking alcohol. I lent my knees to Wendy, who began to doze off in the drowsy temperature.

When I look at the side of her sleeping face, I feel like my fatigue is relieved.

Helga, looking at that scene, muttered quietly.

“The Count… “You care about Wendy a lot.”

“I see.”

“Yes. Who else but Wendy could put on the Count’s knee pillow? If it were me, I probably would have kicked her ass.”

“…”

Helga probably said it as a joke, but she felt a sense of disappointment in those words.

I felt a little sorry, wondering if I was too partial to Wendy.

“Ahaha. Are you okay. Count. Wendy is still a child. She’s cute too. “She’s not particularly jealous or anything like that.”

Helga looked at Wendy, who was sleeping and fussing, as if it was no big deal.

“Be lovely… Doesn’t it seem like the fruit of the love between the Count and I?”

“…”

“Sorry. “I can enjoy whatever criticism I hear from the Count, but it’s a bit difficult to bear that kind of gaze.”

I don’t know what expression I made, but Helga immediately curled her tail.

However, if she is a lovely daughter like Wendy, no parent will turn her down.

I curled my body like a baby squirrel and gently touched Wendy’s cheek as she slept.

“Are the maids resting?”

“Yes. We are taking turns taking breaks. Now that I think about it, Rika said that she wasn’t sure if the meal from earlier was pleasant to her taste.”

“Okay. It seems Rika’s cooking skills are still intact. She will tell me later that she ate well. “What is Ryan doing?”

“I’m hibernating.”

“Hibernation… ?”

“If it’s cold, fuel efficiency goes down or something… I settled down in the luggage and fell asleep. “They said to wake me up if I need to.”

I never thought vampires had that trait. Still, seeing as she was told to wake up if necessary, it doesn’t seem like she is completely incapable of activity.

I’ll have to check to see how much it is.

“By the way, Count.”

“What?”

“What do you plan on wearing for scouting today?”

“Clothes?”

I frowned.

Who cares what she wears when she scouts?

Hehe… Seeing that reaction, I was glad I had prepared.”

Helga smiled sinisterly and took something out of the package next to her.

“This…”

“Braided.” “These are my clothes made according to the Count’s size.”

What Helga took out was clothes that bore a striking resemblance to Aslan’s uniform.

I’m planning to act as a demon lord from now on, but I was about to shoot back and ask what if I wear the same clothes as you.

Because the skirt of her uniform was ridiculously short.

“I won’t wear such obscene clothes.”

“That?! Count! So does that really mean I’m wearing obscene clothes right now!?”

“Almost like that.”

I always think about it, but Helga’s skirt is too short.

He usually covered it up with a long coat, but when we were alone, he would expose his legs as if he was trying to seduce me.

“If you look at my sincerity… “Can you wear it just once?”

“I won’t wear it.”

“If it doesn’t work once, is it possible to do it twice?” ?”

Are you saying that?

“Don’t play around.”

“With such fresh legs, you wouldn’t wear a skirt… ” !”

“Don’t say anything strange.”

Ugh… Wendy is waking up. I covered Wendy’s ears while she was sleeping. As for our Wendy, I hope we only hear good words from her…

“The devil thinks it’s a joke. “I want to become a devil, not a woman.”

“The devil is also a woman. Count. She says she is a woman. If possible, wear pretty clothes… !”

“Please stop with your self-interested suggestions. I will tell the unit to prepare for camping from now on. You too, move.”

“Ugh… Skirts are a privilege…”

“Get down quickly. “Privileged class.”

Helga got out of her carriage, looking very mean. The maids and Helga are also frustrated because they can’t dress me in pretty clothes.

Honestly, it’s not good to be too nervous on the battlefield, but I hope everyone has minimal nervousness.

Lucaella, whom I met in her dream, gave me the advice I needed to become the Demon King. However, there was one part that always bothered me.

-Go and find your despair.

What I can guess from those words is that my despair awaits me in Northern Garden.

I don’t know if it was a variable or an afterthought, but seeing it called despair made it seem like it would be a difficult journey.

Among the Seven Stars, there are still those who do not acknowledge Me and wish for My downfall. The northern demons will never cooperate.

Before that, I need to add at least one person to my side if possible. No. At the very least, it would be necessary to identify whether a friend is an enemy or a friend.

I checked that Wendy was asleep and opened her mouth.

“Myohail.”

“…”

“I know you were listening.”

“Haha…”

With a hearty laugh, Wendy’s hairpin bounced in the air like a coin toss.

Then the calico cat, disguised as her hairpin, landed lightly on all fours on her table.

Sage Myohail.

He, a magician on the level of a natural disaster, still doesn’t know my plan to become the devil.

In order to eliminate variables in the plan, it is better to receive a promise of assistance, if not cooperation, from him.

“It looks like you are planning something unusual.”

“Okay. One of the goals of this expedition is for me to become the devil.”

“Hmm.”

Myohail stroking his beard.

However, he didn’t seem too embarrassed after hearing the conversation between Helga and I. Rather, he said it with the attitude that it was going to happen.

“Okay. I roughly expected it to be like this.”

“You expected it?”

“Haha… “You should not ignore the intuition of an old man.”

Was it impossible to deceive the eyes of a wise man who has lived for a long time?

I was displeased because I felt like he had read my plan.

“I have a lot of questions… Let me put that aside and just ask one important thing.”

Since he was a cat, I couldn’t read his expression. However, although it was difficult to explain, I had a vague feeling that he would cooperate with me.

“If the Count becomes the Demon King, he will become a hero… Are you planning to antagonize this child?”

Myohail’s eyes were on the girl who was sleeping on my lap.

Depending on my answer, it will probably be decided whether Myohail will be a hindrance to my plan or just aid it.

Fortunately, the answer to that question was easy.

“Wendy is my…”

*

The time when the sun has completely set.

The unit led by Ariel Richet also stopped marching and completed preparations for camping.

“Have the soldiers who went on reconnaissance returned?”

“Yes. “There was no trace of the monster in the nearby forest.”

“Then I guess there wasn’t anything special.”

“Ah.:

The soldier opened his mouth as if something occurred to him at Ariel’s words.

“Now that I think about it, Ariel. There was a magic hot spring in the forest.”

“The magic hot spring… ?”

“Yes. It wasn’t that big, but it would be good to obtain magic gemstones later.”

It was quite a possibility.

Natural magical hot springs were sometimes discovered in places where the magical power flowing through nature was strong.

High-purity magical power rising from the ground is good for healing magicians who have consumed magical power. Also, the magic gemstones generated around it were often of good quality.

Of course, it wasn’t that important in this situation where we were going on an expedition.

“Okay. That’s good information. Great job. “Tell the scout team to take a break.”

“I understand.”

The soldier saluted politely and walked away.

In preparation for the bitter cold in the north, a range of cold weather techniques were drawn at the campsite.

If it were an ordinary unit, it would not have been possible to draw such a large-scale magic trick, but Ariel’s unit was accompanied by high-ranking magicians from the Cremont family.

This range of magic is almost laughable. Thanks to this, the soldiers in her unit will be able to have a warmer night than other units.

But the soldiers won’t know.

The cold weather spells drawn at the campsite were never meant for them.

That it is magic prepared just for one person.

The place where Ariel entered was a tent in the middle of the campsite.

“Are you experiencing any inconvenience? “Your Majesty.”

“Okay. “The luggage is okay.”

Although she used the best supplies in her unit, Luna’s camping tent was shabby compared to the sleeping quarters in the imperial palace.

Ariel felt sorry for not being able to treat the emperor of this country well.

“I don’t know if you enjoyed the meal.”

“Not bad. And it is difficult to receive materials that are too good. So wouldn’t it be obvious that I came here?”

“Your majesty…”

“Everyone goes on expeditions like this and suffers, so why should I be the only one who enjoys special treatment?”

Ariel felt her heart sink at Luna’s heart.

What a great emperor.

As long as such a person is the emperor, the future of the empire will be bright.

“Rather than that, Ariel.”

“Ah?! Yes!”

Ariel, who had been lost in sentiment for a moment, came to her senses.

“I think I heard something about a hot spring outside the tent earlier.”

“Yes? Ah… Yes. It seems that a soldier who went on a reconnaissance discovered a magical hot spring.”

“Hoo…”

Luna crosses her legs as if she’s interested.

Is His Majesty also interested in the resources coming from magic hot springs?

Ariel, who was quick to notice, quickly added her own comment.

“Of course, since this is a hot spring discovered by Your Majesty’s army, I will present it to Your Majesty after the expedition is over. A high-quality hot spring can help the imperial family’s finances.”

“Then let’s go now.”

“Yes?”

At Ariel’s question, Luna jumped up as if she was itchy.

“Jim wants to check for himself whether the hot spring is of good quality.”

“Ah… That… It’s late now, so try going another day…”

“The best time to do this is now. “If I don’t check that hot spring, I’ll probably get sick.”

“Your Majesty…?!”

“Hmm… If Jim gets sick, it’s like the country gets sick. Then wouldn’t everyone be in trouble?”

Ariel couldn’t help but be quite taken aback by Luna’s unyielding remarks Her

She was quick-witted compared to others and knew it was going to be a long night.
