[The Next Problem]
“Secondary damage…?”
The downfall of the Houses of Halman and Lekrust.
What could be the second damage caused by it?
“In the wake of this case, our Bramshal Kingdom has suffered a great loss of national power… Chances are other countries will take advantage of this situation.”
“I see…”
In other words—we were under threat of invasion by another country.
“It’s certainly… a really bad situation.”
“The fact that the Halman House was involved in such a shady business was a really hard blow to the royal house… I’ve long known that the Halmans’ head is a bit extreme, so I’ve always been wary of him. But I never imagined that he would dip his hands into curses.”
Principal Abigail was visibly disappointed.
Well, curses were pretty dangerous.
To make it worse, the Lekrusts helped them in their crimes. She wouldn’t have been so troubled if commoners had been the ones to commit the crimes.
“Have there any countries that show signs they are going to declare war on our kingdom?”
“Well… I wonder…”
Ah.
That was definitely a yes.
“How are the knights responding?”
“They are going on high alert, of course. While none of our neighbors has shown any noticeable movement, we don’t know when something will happen… so the tension continues.”
“…………”
I never expected that the principal could make such a worried voice.
“You do know that this matter also concerns you, right?”
“I know. –You’re talking about my father, aren’t you?”
If war broke out, my house and Tayte’s Ehrenberg House would most likely be made to carry some burden. My guess seemed to be spot on, as the principal showed concern for me.
“Well, nothing will happen in the short term, but you must be prepared.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
Following that, I had a long conversation with the principal about the knights, and ended up staying for over an hour.
By the time I finished talking with the principal, it was already noon.
On the way back to class, I couldn’t help but ponder something.
It was about the final boss in the original novel, 【Rise of the Weakest Holy Swordsman】.
Before I reincarnated, the main story had stopped updating for a long time because the author was busy with the light novel publication. Therefore, the final enemy of this work had not yet been revealed.
Would it go with the normal route of war against demons?
Or was a war with another force waiting?
Fans had made various speculations since the author never talked about it.
“…I wish I could reread it from the beginning.”
I whispered so quietly that no one could hear me.
If I read the original novel from the beginning again, I might find some hidden hints.
But of course, since I had been reincarnated into this world, that was impossible.
I couldn’t find anything suspicious in Barrett’s memory, either.
…Well, things had been progressing smoothly so far.
In the original storyline, the Bramshal Kingdom was never invaded, so I could probably pin my hopes for things to stay that way in this world, too.
Praying so in my heart, I returned to my classroom.
