Worked Hard, Worked Hard

“Th-then, let us escort you all the way to the royal capital!” (Lagdo)

“That is unnecessary. As you can see, our forces are sufficient.” (Cyan)

Rejecting Lagdo’s proposal, Cyan and the group prepared to return to the royal capital.

“Th-then at least please allow us to use horses or carriages!” (Lagdo)

“That is true…” (Leon)

Indeed, since the distance to the royal capital was quite far, horses or carriages would be helpful. However, it was irritating to owe anything to this man who was only trying to lessen his own guilt.

“Oh, there is no need for that.” (Leon)

The one who was interrupting was Leon.

“Leon-dono?” (Cyan)

“If we ride this, we will arrive in an hour.” (Leon)

“This…?” (Cyan)

Cyan tilted her head as she could not see what the demonstrative referred to. At that moment, suddenly the ground seemed to rise, then transformed into something streamlined.

“W-what is this!? Earth magic!? To control this much earth…” (Cyan)

Cyan and the others’ astonishment did not end there. Before they knew it, a huge earthen ship had been completed there. The ship was recreated in detailed precision, and it showed no sign of collapsing even if the wind blew.

“It’s so big!” (Arc/Iris)

“I made it large so everyone could ride.” (Leon)

Leon and the twins jumped onto it. They waved from the deck.

“Onee-chan and others, you should get on, too.” (Leon)

“Th-this is… surely you don’t mean it will run on land…?” (Cyan)

“Huh? Of course it runs.” (Leon)

“That’s absurd…” (Cyan)

Cautiously, Cyan and the others boarded the ship.

“It’s true… it’s as hard as wood, no, like metal…” (Cyan)

“Look, we can go inside!” (Arc/Iris)

“Is this really going to run? How on earth…?” (Lagdo)

Leon checked with the surprised group.

“Is everyone on? Then, hold onto the handrails just in case it’s dangerous.” (Leon)

Then, he began moving the ground with mana.

“The ground is… shaking…” (All)

“It’s rippling!?” (All)

The propulsion of this earth ship came from raising the ground behind the ship, creating a temporary downhill slope. Since the ship was so large, the ground had to be moved dynamically as well.

“Hm, this requires quite a bit of mana.” (Leon)

Using vast mana, he pushed the earthen ship forward steadily.

“W-what is that…?” (Lagdo)

Lagdo and the others watched the huge ship leave in disbelief. They rushed through about a hundred kilometers and returned to the royal capital.

“To arrive at the royal capital this fast…” (Twin 1)

“I feel a little sick… ugh…” (Twin 2)

“I, me too…” (Lagdo)

Some beastkin were surprised by the sudden arrival, while others felt nauseous.

“Phew, I’m tired.” (Leon)

Feeling some fatigue, Leon returned the ship to the ground in front of the castle gates.

“The ship…” (Cyan)

“So, there’s no need for storage either…” (Lagdo)

Cyan and the anti-government group were amazed as the earth ship disappeared completely.

“To think we would return to the royal capital again in such a way…” (Cyan)

“Originally, this was supposed to be a great gamble on the fate of this country…” (Leon)

At that moment–…

“Cyan-sama!” (Machinka)

“Machinka!” (Cyan)

A member of Cyan’s faction, a Catkin who had remained as a royal guard in the castle, ran up.

“Is it true that Bengal has been defeated?” (Cyan)

“Yes! There is no mistake!” (Machinka)

“I see… So, what is the current situation in the royal castle?” (Cyan)

“Bengal and the main leaders of his faction are imprisoned. There was a small clash with hidden remnants, but thanks to Meltera-dono’s power, it did not escalate.” (Machinka)

It seemed Meltera, who had been left behind, had been useful. When her name was mentioned, the person who had welcomed them proudly puffed up her chest.

“Huff huff huff, you may praise me!” (Meltera)

“Yes, yes, worked hard, worked hard.” (Leon)

Leon praised her casually. Even so, she was happy and said, “Oh? Really? Not so much, though”, which showed she was truly easy to please.

“I worked hard too! Nobody notices me!” (Silvia)

Silvia looked dissatisfied. Since she was invisible as a ghost, Leon thought it was understandable, but he decided to praise her as well.

“Worked hard, worked hard.” (Leon)

“Long live the new Beast King Cyan-sama!” (Crowd)

“Long live!!” (Crowd)

“Long live the new Beast King Cyan-sama!” (Crowd)

“Long live!!” (Crowd)

A few days after returning to the royal castle, Cyan was inaugurated as the new Beast King in place of Bengal. Though she was the daughter of the previous king, many beastkin had heard that she had died in Bengal’s coup. For that reason, they shed tears of joy at her survival and welcomed her ascension enthusiastically.

At the inauguration, the new Beast King Cyan declared before the gathered citizens:

“I am not like Bengal! I vow to build a country where all beastkin are equally respected and can thrive!” (Cyan)

The crowd roared loudly with joy, finally freed from tyranny. That day, not only in the royal capital but in towns and villages throughout the country, grand celebrations were held late into the night.
