“Devil… .”

“Removal?”

Hearing Ian’s words, Noah and Stella met each other’s eyes. The voice was too serious to be heard as a joke, so I thought about whether I should take it seriously or take it as a joke.

After contemplating, the two realized that there was no reason to joke at them in this situation, and they began to seriously consider the possibility.

“I, I’m always on Ian’s side!”

Clever Noah did not question the possibility, but took the side of Ian straight away.

In fact, even if she had said that she was going to kill the god, not the demon king, she would have been on his side.

But contrary to her, Stella took everything seriously. And he predicted that possibility.

Perhaps that is the difference between whether you were educated to become a head of state from a young age, or whether you were educated to eat well and live well in the country.

“Devil… Even the first emperor failed… Possibility… No, to some extent… .”

After completing some calculations, Stella concluded that Ian’s goal was impossible with the information available so far.

“… Is that really the goal?”

“uh.”

“There are many other goals. Why?”

“It can’t be that.”

“… Ji is not a hero from some fairy tale.”

Even these days, the hero doesn’t aim to catch the Demon King. This is because there have been criticisms that it instills unrealistic dreams and expectations in children.

It was the same as no children’s book about redheads and bald heads in Korea.

“Do you want to hear the hero’s voice like that?”

“That’s not what I want to do.”

“Isn’t it? Otherwise, why did you set such a goal?”

“Um- just?”

“Look.”

Stella said she knew it would, and brushed off Ian. However, Ian’s determination did not change.

Stella, who stared at Ian for a while, muttered as she twisted her hair.

“Is this the warrior’s wife… Not bad.”

“What?”

“What, what?”

“You just got a wife and what… didn’t you?”

“When did I!?”

She opened her mouth with a blush-like face, but Ian and Noah did not lose sight of the words clearly heard in their ears.

However, rather than continuing to question her at this point, I decided to just move on. It wasn’t an blatant remark that would ever bite and droop.

“Hey, I’ll help you.”

“thank you.”

“Isn’t it supposed to happen without me in the first place?”

Stella said so and was extremely proud. As she said, it was actually impossible without the help of the 4th Duke.

To catch the Demon King, in other words, meant an all-out war between humans and demons.

“This vacation, I will need to convince my father.”

“Would you like to go with me?”

“No- it would be counterproductive if you go.”

Ian thought of the Duke of Iritsu hiding that fact from his daughter, even though he was desperate.

What if my daughter suddenly says she’s going to achieve a nonsensical, vain goal, and it turns out that it’s actually a man’s fault?

No matter how fair and racist the Duke may be, he will oppose her opinion.

“… During vacation, can’t I just pass it on to other people?”

“If you pass by, I don’t think you will see anyone anyway.”

“Where are you going?”

“hometown.”

Ian remembered his hometown. Baron Clark hiding in the southeast, among the very corners of the mountains.

“Nana!”

Noah raised his hand while looking at Ian who said he would come back to his hometown. When Ian blinked to tell her, she smiled broadly and announced one thing.

“Is my hometown and Ian near your hometown?”

“… What?”

“What!?”

Ian expressed his astonishment at the surprising fact he heard for the first time.

And Stella.

No, why are you?

Whether the two were surprised or not, Noah was delighted to be able to meet Ian even on vacation.

“We can play together even on vacation!”

* * *

it was vacation

As an academy that values practicality, the vacation was short.

“Good luck.”

The cadets who inherited summoned beasts from my family had to return to their estates, both you and me.

I had to protect the territory and the realm of mankind rather than playing during the vacation time.

Naturally, Ian was not included in that.

‘The only thing I have inherited is this body.’

All of his summons were those he had obtained with his own abilities. Even that ability came from himself, not from ‘Ian Clark’, the owner of this body, so it was safe to say that he received nothing from Baron Clark.

So Ian got on the carriage with the intention of going home to play. Noah got into his wagon and followed him.

From afar, Stella, Shira, and Dinoir, full of anxiety, caught my eye. Dinoir, who did not inherit the summoned beast, tried to get on the same carriage as Ian, but unfortunately was blocked by the user’s restraint.

“Let’s go, Ian!”

Noah, who had a lot of kettle in her arms to eat on the way home, smiled softly and suggested potatoes to Ian.

After receiving the potatoes gratefully, Ian began to chew them crisply. Well-baked Potatoes from Another World tasted sweet and salty even without a pinch of salt.

The wagon quietly, yet without stopping, ran towards its destination.

After running for a while, the driver who was driving the carriage carefully knocked on the spear.

“Im here.”

When I opened the door with anticipation to hear that I had already arrived at my hometown, a vast field and the smell of human waste came over the inside of the carriage.

‘… … ah.’

The filthy smell of the countryside, Ian finally realized that this is a damn different world.

Only in the academy close to the capital, with the power of magic and summons, cleanliness and sanitation comparable to modern times were maintained… Can’t it be done even in the countryside?

Ian frowned and got out of the carriage. The coachman parked the wagon in a suitable place and pulled the horse and disappeared.

“Hmm~ Ah, this smell. It’s been a long time Dige.”

“Is that right?”

“yes? What is it? Ian, haven’t you been in charge of it a lot?”

I have never taken I’d rather have a stinky smoke smell, but it was a smell that instinctively frowned.

But Noah ran towards her with an innocent expression like a country girl. As he ran, he began to speak jokjok words that he could see.

“grandfather-!”

“Huh? Who is this!”

The old men who were plowing quickly greeted Noah with great enthusiasm, and Noah hugged each one of them and greeted them fiercely.

“Noah.”

“yes? why?”

“I’m going home first, so come later.”

“okay!”

Saying so, Ian headed to my mansion. It was a hometown that he could not remember, a farmland without a sign, but he could clearly see where his mansion was.

This is because, among the shabby houses, there was a mansion built with a daughter that could be considered as a place for a nobleman to live.

on that ridge.

‘… … uhh.’

He sighed and summoned Anna. When the light suddenly exploded and a woman in armor appeared, the people around were startled, but Ian didn’t care and was put on Anna’s back.

“master?”

“Come on, let’s go over there.”

“… I am not a means of transportation.”

However, without any complaints, she carried Ian and ran to the mansion. When Anna arrived at the mansion, she disappeared immediately, and when Ian arrived at the house, she crossed the unguarded front door and entered the mansion.

‘Guryeo.’

Since this is the mansion the baron resides in, how can you afford it? Ian came in with a frown and found a maid cleaning in the mansion.

“Break… sir?”

Fortunately, it seemed to have come at the right time. As Ian carefully shook her head, the maid threw the broom she was holding and shouted loudly.

“The master is back!”

You’re back… .

You came… .

A loud voice echoed through the mansion, and shortly thereafter two maids appeared to serve him.

“Are you back? young master.”

“I’ll take you to your room.”

Ian thought that even in this cramped mansion he had three maids, he wanted to see the owner of this mansion in person.

“… your father?”

“The baron went hunting.”

“You will be back in the afternoon… .”

“Oh yeah?”

Realizing that we could not meet immediately, Ian followed the two maids to my room. To be honest, I had no memories of my room, so I wasn’t impressed.

However, one thing was certain.

“… Is this my room?”

“That’s right… If you don’t like the cleaning… … .”

“No, it’s okay.”

After beckoning the maid out lightly, Ian looked around my room.

narrow and old

The desire to return was already like a chimney.

* * *

“Oh, Ian! my son!”

The baron, who returned late, hugged Ian and rejoiced greatly. As if he had just returned from hunting, his body was filled with the strong smell of sweat and dust.

Realizing that Ian was reluctant to him, the baron realized the condition of his body and fell slightly and burst into laughter.

“Heh, this is not the time. I must prepare a party today.”

The baron ordered the handmaiden to cook the wild boar he had caught and went straight to bathe.

Ian remembered the bathroom before. It’s a shame that it’s a bathroom, but it was a small bathroom in the form of just boiling water in a drum.

The baron, who came back after wiping off the sweat and dust, seemed to want to hear directly how great his son was at the dinner table.

“I was so surprised when I suddenly asked for a soul stone… Why the hell do you need it?”

“Just.”

“okay? Come to think of it- I didn’t even know how many castles my son picked. Can you show me?”

“Well, don’t be surprised.”

“Heh heh, maybe even a two-star summoned beast… .”

After hearing the baron’s words and summoning the summoned beast, three women appeared next to Ian.

Seeing the three summoned beasts, the baron stiffened slightly, then slowly opened his mouth.

“ha ha ha. It’s a triplets summoned beast… That’s very strange… .”

“There are three, Father.”

“… … three?”

“Yes, three.”

A situation that had never happened since the first emperor, the baron could not close his mouth and began to tremble.

“… What is your grade?”

“Three stars, three stars, four stars… .”

“Ugh-!”

The escort driver quickly grabbed the baron who fell by the back of his neck and quickly moved him to the room.

Ian watched the scene slowly, felt a great vibration and cautiously left the mansion.

Noah, riding on the summons, was walking from afar.

“Ian-.”

“yes.”

“… I never thought my hometown would be like this.”

“Me too.”

Noah lowered his head with a gloomy expression. After visiting my hometown after a very long time, I could easily see how poor my hometown was.

And even how extravagant the things he went through were-.

“… I want to change.”

“That’s amazing.”

“yes… ?”

“Well, I- I thought so.”

The two of them agreed.

During the vacation period, let’s change my territory entirely.
