[Shepherd: "After all, a great man once said, 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.' This holds true in any world."]
[Shepherd: "Since it's done, come back. I'm finished here too."]
Things progressed more smoothly than expected.
After all, the world had suffered under Minister Honest and the young Emperor for a long time. No matter who replaced them, the common people would welcome them with open arms.
Moreover, it was Esdeath, who already had extremely high prestige.
Killing those parasites and ascending to the throne was the will of the people. Everyone wished Esdeath would ascend to the throne and declare herself Empress immediately.
However, everything had to be done step by step.
Besides, the matter was already settled, and no one would change anything.
At the very least, the coronation ceremony would be held a few days later, after Esdeath's army arrived in the Imperial Capital.
"Phew, it's finally resolved."
Inside the palace, Gabriel lay lazily on a chair.
"Although only a few hours have passed, I've done so many things. I'm exhausted."
"But the gains should be considerable, right? The main mission's 10,000 points, plus the seven people from Night Raid, which is 7,000 points, totaling 17,000 points. Including Esdeath, we have seven people, so even then, each person can get at least 2,000 points as a reward."
Marcille calculated on her fingers.
And after calculating the result, she felt a bit embarrassed.
"I didn't do much, but I'm getting so many points for free."
Saeko Busujima, who was beside her, also blushed a little.
Although she did contribute, compared to what Rosen did, her contribution seemed negligible.
However, the main contributors had no objections.
Hell's Fubuki: "Are you leaving after the mission is complete?"
Hell's Fubuki: "Yes, I'm going to leave as soon as possible anyway."
Heaven knows if her sister would find out she disappeared again after she left.
If it was a short time, she could find an excuse to brush it off.
If it was for a long time, she would be unable to defend herself.
I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "I'll leave too. After all, I promised Falyn I'd be back soon."
Ice Witch: "@Shepherd, what about you, Rosen?"
Although he didn't know why Esdeath specifically asked him, Rosen still answered truthfully.
Shepherd: "I'll probably stay here for a few days. Although I've seen enough of the scenery, I'm quite interested in the Imperial Arms and the Danger Beasts here."
Ice Witch: "Being interested in Imperial Arms is fine. I'll send people to execute some Imperial Arms users later. But what's interesting about Danger Beasts?"
Ice Witch: "Oh, are you planning to replicate the Imperial Arms manufacturing process?"
Shepherd: "I don't have that plan. Not to mention that the manufacturing method of Imperial Arms has long been lost, and Imperial Arms have no use for me. I just want to try if the meat of those Super Danger Beasts tastes good."
I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "Huh? Can Danger Beasts be eaten too?"
Shepherd: "Let's experiment. If it works, wouldn't that be another source of delicious food?"
That being said.
Rosen felt that the meat of Danger Beasts should be edible.
However, because they possess various dangerous characteristics, they might require special processing.
This can be given to Marcille, and she can then hand it over to the dwarf Senshi.
Rosen also approved of Senshi's cooking skills.
Fallen Angel: "Danger Beast meat? Then I'll go try it too!"
....
And so.
In the following days, some remote places around the world, where Super Danger Beasts resided, welcomed a group of guests who could dig three feet deep.
Whether flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or growing from the ground, they were all caught and hunted by the group members led by Rosen.
Because there are many Super Danger Beasts in this world and they can reproduce on their own, there's no need to worry about affecting the ecological environment or other humanitarian issues.
Of course, in addition to Rosen and Gabriel, Saeko Busujima and Frieren stayed in the Imperial Capital to help deal with the nobles who oppressed the common people.
In Minister Honest's private residence, there was a list of everyone involved with him.
As long as they followed the list and killed, they would be right.
Aria's family from the first episode of the anime was also on the list.
By the time they finished killing, four days and three nights had already passed.
Hundreds of nobles and officials died during these few days.
Shepherd: "Is it all over?"
Du Dao: "It's done."
Saeko Busujima finally had her fill of killing these past few days.
Her desire to kill was completely satisfied. Unless she encountered similar situations again, this desire would be difficult to reappear in the short term.
Fallen Angel: "Alright, alright, I'm already starting to miss my game console and soda."
Magic Old Man: "Imperial Arms have nothing to do with magic, so they have no research value for me."
Hell's Fubuki: "I've already gone back. What about you guys? Luckily, my sister hasn't found me yet. I'm slipping away for now, at least I can't let her see any flaws."
The group members each went back.
At this moment, Rosen also happened to receive a private message from Esdeath.
Ice Witch: "Don't go yet, I still have something to discuss with you."
Ice Witch: "Come to my General's Mansion, let's talk face to face."
Although he didn't know what it was about, Rosen still activated Godspeed and teleported over.
Esdeath's General's Mansion usually had few people, with only servants coming to clean the rooms every now and then.
Although she was already a de facto Empress, she still lived in the General's Mansion these past few days.
Teleporting to the location Esdeath gave, he appeared in a spacious bedroom.
This was Esdeath's resting room.
The room had only minimal decoration and didn't look like a woman's room at all.
However, all these minor details were covered by the sound of showering from the adjacent room.
Through the frosted glass, Rosen could see a graceful body faintly visible.
Analyzing from her aura and physique, it should be Esdeath.
3.9
But why did she invite him over and then take a shower herself?
The answer was quickly given.
Seemingly hearing the movement in the room, Esdeath turned off the shower and walked out of the bathroom.
Unlike her usual neat pure white military uniform, Esdeath, fresh out of the bath, was only wrapped in a thin towel.
But even so, it was difficult to fully cover Esdeath's curvaceous and voluptuous body.
Half of her two Mount Fujis were exposed, and wet water droplets traced lines down Esdeath's fair skin.
Seeing Rosen, Esdeath showed a shy expression like a young girl.
"It's my first time, and I don't have much experience, so I might need you to guide me next."
Rosen: "???"
I treated you as a group member, but you want to sleep with me?
