Evan D. Sherden, Expanding his power. (1)
The way back to Sherden was safe with the Dungeon Knights and more than a dozen high-end witches (although they didn’t play an active part earlier), so it wasn’t a problem even if a demon appeared.
“Master Evan has returned!”
“Master Evan is returning! …He brought a group of young women!”
“It is said that he brought beautiful women who are all wearing the same clothes!”
“What!? Master Evan brought a group of concubines!?”
The rumors began to spiral out of control as soon as Evan and his companions entered the city gate, and soon it was dominating the whole city.
“The people of the dungeon city love gossip too much.”
“It’s because everyone likes you so much, Evan.”
“No, father. This is a conspiracy. A conspiracy aimed at taking my life. “
As proof, when Evan arrived at the Marquis’, Maybell ran into his arms and did not let him go. At first, Evan was nervous about being stabbed by a knife, but fortunately, Maybell had come empty-handed.
“It’s really good news that those people aren’t your concubines, because your first wife will be me and no one else!”
“You never seem to hold your words back, not even in front of my father anymore.”
However, if you think about it carefully, Maybell has never been hesitant in front of anyone. Now that power and wealth are guaranteed, there will be nothing more to hide.
He gave up trying to get Maybell off of him and reported to the Marquis.
“This time, I secured the safety of the estate by destroying many untouched dungeons in the West, and I was able to obtain the items I wanted. Duke Sorde L. Leonine was also satisfied.”
“I was informed about that before you arrived. He even talked about wanting to change your surname to Leonine.”
“I thought he gave up on that…”
“He is a greedy man. He seems to like you, so you’ll be bothered by him for a while.”
“Oh, that’s okay. There are many troublesome problems, so it doesn’t matter even if one more is added…”
Evan’s eyes were half dead. Maybell was still hanging onto him until now. This just convinced his statement about troublesome problems even more.
The Marquis sympathized with his son, but was also convinced that he would become more bothered with his looks in the future, not regaining any peace. Even if you evaluated his looks as objectively as possible, Evan was the most handsome man ever!
“Father, the people I brought…”
“…Are these people related to your mother?”
“Um, yeah, something like that.”
Perhaps the Marquis had met Redine when she was roaming the West Continent as a witch. Upon receiving a report of the witches’ clothing, they seemed to have identified them.
“I was entangled in the events related to the Devil Rune I mentioned earlier. I wrote a brief report, so read it.”
Despite being a temporary dungeon knight that has not yet been properly established, Evan was faithfully fulfilling the missions as Knight Commander.
The Marquis read the papers without revealing any expressions while admiring the solid report that Evan wrote.
“This… It is a matter to report to the royal family.”
“Yes, I would like you to make sure that the responsibility does not go to the witches. If possible, I want the witches to stay in our city.”
“Of course, I have no intention of sending great human resources like them to the royal family.”
Both father and son laughed as they faced each other. Both were naturally good men, but they had the generosity to let the witch’s off even after seeing injustice for the sake of the city’s comfort.
“Then what are you going to do with them?”
“I’m thinking of making a guild. I’m going to sign an exclusive contract with the Brotherhood Corporation. It will surely help protect the city. We also signed a highly reliable magic contract, so we don’t have to worry about betrayal.”
“That’s my son. You’re very rigorous.”
“Oh, you are signing a contract with the Brotherhood Corporation! That must be the reason I haven’t been expelled from here until now. Then, can I cling to you more aggressively, Master?”
Was she aware that her behavior could get her expelled!? Evan flicked Maybell’s forehead.
“Would you like to resign from the representative position?”
“Oh no, my heart aches as you treat me so coldly…! But, for some reason these days, I get the chills and a strange pleasure from you…”
“Get out of here. Don’t forget to sign the contract later.”
“Oh, ahhh…!”
Evan had a conversation with the Marquis after boldly chasing Maybell away. She had opened eyes to something she shouldn’t have. However, something suddenly came to mind while listening to the talk about what happened in the dungeon city.
“I haven’t seen my brother around.”
“You mean Eric. He went out to enjoy a secret date with his fiancé.”
The Marquis so casually lit a large bomb. Evan jumped up on the spot and shouted in astonishment.
“Fiancee!? He didn’t have a fiancee!?”
“I met the Count of Retron a while ago. The food and atmosphere were good. But just a few days ago, Eric came to me and said he wanted to engage his daughter. So I let him.”
“You let him, just like that!?”
Evan was panicking. Of course, it wasn’t surprising that Eric had gotten himself a fiancé.
He was the eldest son of the best family in the world, his abilities were outstanding, his personality was very good, and his appearance… It was a unique face that you’d either like or dislike, but that doesn’t matter in a relationship.
The problem is that in the game scenario, Eric never had a relationship.
‘No, is this… is this a change?’
Evan, who thought about it, soon convinced himself and nodded. Eric didn’t get married or dated in Yo-Ma Great War Series 3 because of Evan!
‘There is no way that Evan, who philanders any woman, would not philander Eric’s woman. Besides, that guy is always causing trouble, so he did not have time to devote himself to love…’
Eric, who appeared in the game, was always the nervous type. Although he was kind, he had so many things to pay attention to. The more Evan thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his brother. Of course, that wouldn’t happen anymore.
“Now, that’s great. I wish my brother happiness.”
“Eric said that he had an engagement ceremony without you. I wouldn’t have hurried to the engagement ceremony if I knew you would return so quickly.”
“That’s okay. I didn’t know when I was going to be back anyway.”
Evan was originally planning up to half a year for this Western Dungeon attack. He thought that, apart from clearing dozens of dungeons, he didn’t know what kind of disruption would occur in obtaining the materials for Elixir, and tracking the witches or Devil Runes was not an easy task.
“You were really lucky,” the Marquis said to Evan, who nodded with such thoughts. “Now go to your mother. She will be waiting.”
“Yes, father.”
Evan took Belois and went straight to see his mother, Redine. As the Marquis said, Redine greeted them happily.
“Evan, they said you brought witches?”
“Yes, mother. You don’t like that?”
“No, it’s quite the opposite.”
Redine laid a hand on her cheek and sighed satisfactorily.
“It’s just a surprise how you managed to get that arrogant and unruly group all the way here. My mother was also in a witch village when she was young, but it was unimaginable to dare to move those people to her will. So, my son. I will ask you an embarrassing question…”
“No.”
Evan looked up and nodded his head before Redine had even asked the question.
Redine stared at him and then laughed.
“So son, are those witches your…”
“No.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, is my son still a virgin?”
“I blocked such a question in advance, but why are you still asking, mother?” Evan replied with an uneven expression.
“I’m glad, though. I was very worried about the mother witches coming into this city as a group.… Belois, you must have had a lot of hardships too.”
“No, madam. In the future, I will protect the master. So that the lowly things can’t dare to put their fingers on him.”
“Well, I didn’t mean that…”
A strange, bitter smile caught on Redine’s mouth. Evan tried to avoid the sexual topic, and Belois firmly pledged to protect him from all other women’s access. Indeed, this conversation was a total mess.
“That is why I still have to wait for a while to see my grandchildren. For the time being, I have no choice but to expect from Eric.”
“I’m still 14 years old…. Anyways, come and look at this.”
“What is this… Huh!?”
Evan took off the demon’s boots he was wearing and put them on the table. Of course, the Magi was in good control, but Redine was frightened when he grasped the Magi and Devil Runes contained in it.
“Son, what the hell have you been doing in the West!?”
“Whatever I did in the West, I’m the person who brought the witches here, and these boots are the result of stopping the witches’ creation.”
“Are you trying to hunt a demon!?”
“I will join Ctheasil later, but it’s surprisingly difficult to put these many runes together. So help me, mother.”
“You’re still my son, but you’re doing something ridiculous.”
The wise witch, Redine, figured out what the witches were up to just by looking at the demon’s boots.
She wondered how Evan suppressed the witches and could handle this tremendous mass of energy, but once she thought of it, didn’t her son wear these boots and walk all the way safely here?
“Yes, I’ll help you. However, it will be difficult for the regular activation type when the power is twisted like this. Mental damage will accumulate just by dealing with this massive-density rune. So, it’s usually better to store energy in the rune and adjust it to be released in large quantities when necessary. That must be the most effective and powerful way to use this.”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh! That would be great!”
Evan thought that a solution would need to be studied for a few more months with Ctheasil, but Redine looked at the boots and quickly suggested adjusting the Devil Rune. It was also a way to use Devil Rune like a special move—exactly what Evan wanted!
Why did she never participate in the battle in Yo-Ma Great War Series 3? Evan became very confused, but he couldn’t even ask Redine himself.
“Mother, you’re my real mother, right?”
“Huh, why are you asking such an obvious question? I’ll always be Evan’s mother. Father will always be Evan’s father. And mother and father love Eric and Evan very much.”
“Right…?”
“Of course.”
Even with the dumb remarks caused by Evan’s vague anxiety, Redine laughed lovingly. However, soon after, the smile began to shake.
“By the way… I must have a separate word with the bad children who instilled wicked awareness of witches to you.”
Evan got little goosebumps while watching his mother’s smile. Belois, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his sleeves.
The next day, all the witches, including Melonia, politely spoke to Evan. Evan asked them to treat him comfortably, but they refused to listen to him.
