Roaring Roaring-

“Wow, there are so many people.”

“Except for people doing business, it seems like everyone in the city came out to see the sights.”

Negi, who, without fail, had Damon on his shoulder, looked around and was impressed.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many people, excluding the soldiers who went to destroy the hatchery.

I know that just a few decades ago, tens of thousands of people were dying every day due to polluted areas, but when I look at the scene now, I can’t even imagine that past.

‘If there are this many people, you’ll probably lose it, right?’

Either Negi disappears or I disappear.

I have a feeling that one of them will disappear and we will break up.

If there were this many people, even if you wanted to stay sane, you wouldn’t be able to.

‘It’s hell itself.’

In the end, I had no choice but to grab Negi’s wrist tightly.

“Hold on tight. Don’t miss it. “There are too many people, so if things continue like this, we’re going to lose each other.”

“Ugh!”

I made my way by putting her in front of me and following closely behind her.

Since this was a subjugation after the failure of Prince Il’s subjugation force, I had no idea that so many people would show interest.

There were many people who predicted failure, saying that Princess Mona would be no different.

In particular, I heard that the nobles who invested money during the reign of Prince I were praying for Princess Mona to fail, to the point of praying over water on a moonlit night.

“You must succeed, princess!!”

“You must be safe. Princess.”

“Return in good health!”

Mr. Negi must have heard the people around him and came closer to me and whispered.

“I was wondering why there were so many people, and it seems they came to support Princess Mona. “It seems like there are people like us who came to see it.”

“Iknow, right. “People are praying for the princess’ safety.”

Since the awakened people have good ears, I was able to tell what they were saying even though it was noisy.

“I’ve heard a lot of people say that Princess Mona is an amazing person. “I don’t know much about what’s going on in the world, though.”

How can you know what’s going on in the world while you’re in prison?

There are no newspapers or news.

“He’s a good person.”

At least compared to royals like trollers, he was no different from an angel, and it wasn’t strange to think of him as the light and savior of the empire.

It was natural for her to receive support from the people of the empire, and when you think about it, the crowd was understandable.

“I think the princess will be happy to see this.”

“yes. “You will.”

We barely made it through the crowds to where the punitive force was waiting.

The princess’s punitive force was scheduled to move toward the contaminated area without fuss, following His Majesty’s orders.

This happened because the first prince had already held a grandiose ceremony.

Princess Mona also obediently followed the emperor’s opinion, saying that there was no need for a ceremony.

However, on their way, numerous imperial citizens will be praying for the safety of the punitive force.

“I heard that even students were provided resources for this punitive force. “Are the kids gathered over there students at the academy?”

Mr. Negi knew more about the punitive force than I thought.

“Yes, that’s right.”

When I turned my gaze to where Mr. Negi was looking, I saw some familiar faces.

Although there are regular students, it is noticeable that SSR characters are gathered together with vivid expressions.

The people of the empire were very worried at the thought that Princess Mona’s punitive force might fail, but I leisurely took a look at the punitive force.

Unexpected situations can arise, so it’s normal to be a little worried, but I didn’t feel anxious or worried.

Princess Mona was not a soft-hearted person who would fail by taking that number of people with her.

“You’re still young… .”

“yes?”

Mr. Negi stared at the students and muttered to himself.

I was so busy thinking about other things that I couldn’t hear what she was saying to herself and asked her back, but Negi shook her head, saying she was just talking to herself.

“Shall we just leave?”

People kept coming to see the punitive force.

I felt like I would be trapped for a long time if I stayed here.

Then it will be difficult to go sightseeing with her as planned.

“… … .”

However, Mr. Negi seemed to be concentrating on something and was not listening to me properly.

“Mr. Negi… ?”

The place she was looking at from earlier was where the students were gathered.

As I expected, their thoughts seemed to deepen as they watched them.

I decided not to bother urging her.

The more she thinks, the better it will be for me.

But soon a situation came where I couldn’t leave Negi alone.

The crowd was so crowded that it became dangerous to just stand.

Mr. Negi also looked at me as if he was feeling pressure from all directions.

“I think I should go now, but I can still…” careful!”

Tuk!

“CEO… oh!”

Just as I was unable to protect her, Negi’s body, pushed by another person, tilted and was about to fall.

It’s just that it’s out of my reach.

I used my telekinesis to support her back and pushed the people around me away, then wrapped my arms around Negi’s waist and jumped off the ground.

People’s eyes were following us, but Damon grew bigger just in time and carried us on his back.

Whiuuung~!

“Ooh, wow?!”

Leaving behind the commotion going on below, I took Damon down to where the people at the top were gathered.

“The appearance is flashy, isn’t it?”

Erintina was busy working, checked on Damon, waited for me to come down, and then approached me.

“I was planning to go see it secretly, but there were so many people that I had no choice. “Is everything going well?”

“huh. No problem. Negi came too. how have you been doing?”

“yes.”

Negi shows a shy smile.

“The princess is busy, but she will be happy to see you. Are you going to meet me?”

“Is there any reason to take up a busy person’s time?”

It was Erintina, not me, who paid a lot of attention to this punitive force.

I only briefly dipped in because I needed to get some advice and convince the dean to take the students.

Since he had quickly withdrawn his foot, I thought it would be better to just interfere to this extent and avoid the situation.

“Where are you going to get your feet wet? You also worked hard to form a punitive force. “Go say hello and give me some encouragement to cheer you up.”

“The boss is meeting the princess?”

Mr. Negi was shocked to see Erintina casually mentioning the princess.

The pressure of the position was too great to easily mention it.

“Even though Suhan looks like Hanryang, she is not an ordinary kid. Since Suhan will be working at the general store from now on, it’s time to start to realize how unique he is.”

“Who on earth am I serving as my boss?”

Mr. Negi feels dizzy and touches his forehead.

“What kind of person is Suhan? “I would like to say that he is a dependable and reliable person.”

“?!”

It was neither Erintina nor I who answered her question.

Mr. Negi’s question was answered by a new person who appeared without hesitation and exuded a huge presence.

We all checked who had appeared and bowed our heads.

“Princess, are you here?”

“You’re busy, but did you come all the way here?”

“!!!!!”

Mr. Negi was so shocked that he froze like a stone, perhaps because he had never thought he would be able to see the princess up close.

I spoke with pure emotion because I was struck by the sight of Princess Mona wearing pants differently than usual.

“Your clothes suit you well.”

“Thank you for the compliment. It’s not something you wear to decorate your appearance, though. Anyway, it’s a little late. “I thought he would come to say hello earlier, but he didn’t come even if I waited, so he came directly.”

“sorry. On the way, I saw many people praying for the princess’s safe return. “The crowds were bigger than I expected, so I thought I was bothering them if they came to say hello for no reason.”

“I don’t know about anyone else, but talking to you has never been a bother. The reason for the delay is completely understandable. I also never thought we would gather like this. “His Majesty told us not to hold a departure ceremony, but I wonder if so many people gathered together that we are being caught in a trap for no reason.”

It seems that the crowd gathered now was unexpected even for Princess Mona.

“Aren’t these people gathered intentionally by the princess? They all gathered voluntarily because they wanted to see the princess’s punitive force. So, Your Majesty will not be able to say anything. Besides, if you succeed and come back, things like this won’t even be part of the problem.”

“Why did you come all the way here just to see something? “Keuhum!”

He says it would have been okay if the horse didn’t come, but I can feel that he likes it on the inside.

“Since you are doing politics for the people of the empire, many people naturally follow you.”

Princess Mona said with an expression of bewilderment at my words.

“Well, I think 80% of what created that scene is thanks to you.”

“yes? Me?”

“Yes, thanks to what you have done this time, the number of people supporting me has increased tremendously. This work will be an extension of that work. “Most of these people gathered here probably owe you their lives.”

“No way. “It’s probably just that Princess Mona’s support base was this thick.”

“Was there ever a time when commoners cared what the royal family did?”

Commoners think that as long as there are no problems with making a living, everything is fine.

It meant that there was no need to go out and do something.

They were people who were accustomed to doing work received from someone rather than taking initiative.

“that… .”

“There is no need to deny it. Among those people, some may have suffered from an infectious disease and were saved by a cure, while others may have suffered from starvation and survived by eating combat rations. “If I were to ask you to raise your hands right now, how many people would do so?”

Most people will probably raise their hands.

This is not to tarnish my face; it is an obvious fact.

But I also had something to say.

“I didn’t develop the cure, right?”

The development of the treatment was done by Yul.

“Erintina was the one who put the most effort into selling battle rations.”

Lastly, thanks to Princess Mona’s power, she was able to quickly isolate patients with infectious diseases.

In other words, I wanted to say that without the help of my acquaintances, it would have been impossible to prevent the epidemic in the early stages as it is now.
