Volume 01 : Epilogue

In a galaxy far, far away, there is a huge building with many people going in and out of it. Behind that building is a huge field with many buildings built around it. One strange thing about those buildings is that they have iron bars on the windows. Yes, without even asking anyone, you can see that the buildings are prisons. And the building on the front is the station where the police force goes about their daily life.

Inside a room in that building, four people are sitting around the table. An old man, a young woman, and two young men.

"There is an order from the King," an old man said.

"Hoh? Strange; even after all these years, there aren't many orders coming directly from the old man," the young man said.

"So? What is an order, chief?" the woman asked.

An old man or the chief snapped his finger and the folder related to the topic they are talking about appeared in front of them.

"He wants us to keep an eye on this man. His name is Noir. A 3rd rate noble and has 4 worlds under his command," the chief continued.

"So… we just need to keep our eyes on him? That's it?" Again, the woman asked.

"There is another thing." He showed the other file and there is a picture of a boy with white hair and purple eyes.

"The name he currently using in his new world is Urien Gregorios. The one that his Majesty wants us to look after from the damages that Noir did to him. He was reincarnated to his new world by Noir. His majesty's wish is to kill Noir but we can't kill him unless we want all the people he had reincarnated to die."

"Ah! The one that made the Will of the World to break the rule just to let her ship sail," the young man said.

"I remember now. That was the first time Demon Slayer's Will of the World was charged with something like this, right? No, that was the first time she was caught for breaking the rule. What kind of human is he?" the woman said.

"So? Who are we sending?" the young man asked.

"I am thinking about sending Tsukasa there," the old man looks at the young man who was silent till now.

"I've got the gist of it," the other young man sitting in the room, Tsukasa said.

"I will take the mission and look after the boy from afar. But, when I think watching over him wastes my time, I will destroy the world along with the boy and Noir," Tsukasa stand up and go out but he didn't forget to take his camera from the table.

"That guy always does whatever he wants doesn't he?" the woman said.

"He sure is," the chief just sighs.

----------------------------------------

At that time, with Noir, he was walking through the void. "I wonder what my new amusement is doing now? Is he drowning in despair because his life as a noble comes to an end and sold as a slave?"

With a wave of his hand, a portal appeared in front of him and he walked through it. After appearing on the other side and look around the territory, he screamed.

"What the hell? Why the fudge is the territory prospering? Where are the people drowning in the despair because they have nothing to eat? Where are the people robbing each other for money? I can't even sense a single group of bandits in the territory!"

He looked around while turning his body invisible. And he went toward the place where the previous lord stayed. He wanted to pull out his hair after seeing the boy doing his job seriously instead of wasting his life just like Noir wished.

"Achoo! Is someone thinking about me? It must be Noir! You have my eternal gratitude for letting me reincarnate as a noble. It made me going after my goal easier," the young boy said.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"No! Dammit! Don't give me gratitude! It makes me want to puke out all the things I've eaten. Give me despair!" Noir screamed but nobody can hear him.

He then got an idea. There are many monsters inside the Crystal Dew forest that is near this territory. He will go and check the forest and if he is lucky, he will make the monsters rampage and direct them toward this kid's territory.

With that in mind, he went out of the room. After he went out of the room, the young man looks up from his paperwork. Also at the same time, the maid comes inside the room.

"Is something wrong, Master?" she asked.

"Nothing. I just got a feeling that Noir was in the room. He must have come here to watch over me. I must show him my gratitude." Then, the young man put his hands together and pray.

----------------------------------------

A month later at the Royal Palace, two old men and a young girl are in the room. It looks like an old man and a young girl just came back from the trip.

"Are you sure that the sword inside the ruin is gone, Nova?" an old man asked.

The one who replied is also another old man. But unlike the previous thin man, this old man is ripped with muscle. He is Nova Coven, the retired hero.

"I am sure, Dust. I went and check the ruin with young Azalia right here and the sword is nowhere to be found."

"That is the problem, Nova. I am not sure where did the sword end up to. If it fell into the wrong hand, the chaos created will make my paperwork increase," Dust just sighed.

"You lost your weight after becoming a Prime Minister, old friend. And Azalia dear, can you tell us what you remembered?" Nova asked Azalia, who is sitting in front of them.

"I will, Sir Hero. After getting your permission to visit the ruin, I went there with haste. I would like to go on a journey by myself after all. After going into the ruin, while reading some demonic rune, something pricked my hand and some of my blood got smeared on the wall. It was when a hidden door appeared. Curiosity got me good and I went inside the room to check what is inside it," she shivered a little.

"What I saw inside was a sword and a fallen angel that appeared after a while. After getting knocked out by the fallen, I blacked out and when I woke up, both the sword and the fallen angel were gone. But I was sure that there was a battle that took place inside that room," she gulped down the water that was placed on the table.

"Then, about your sword? The sword that you held dear," the Prime Minister asked.

"It was broken when I blocked the magic used by the fallen. The handle also got knocked out of my hand and I lost it in the ruin. I got this new sword when I saw a traveling merchant," she replied while she shows the black sword hanging by her waist.

"Is that so? You can return to your chamber, Azalia. Nova and I will be talking for a while," the Prime Minister gave permission to Azalia to return to her room.

"I will be going then," she gave them a bow and get out of the room.

"What will you be doing now, Nova?" he asked.

"Well, the place I need to guard got destroyed. So, I am thinking about teaching in the Royal Academy," the Hero replied after thinking for a while.

"That will do. His majesty is still wasting away all the resources and I don't know how to keep up with all of his spendings. His father was a great king, and you know it. How did this happen?" the Prime Minister put his head on the table and sighed.

"Those were the golden time of the empire. You, me, the previous Emperor, and the head of Gregorios family, fighting and defending the invading force of the demon troops together," the Hero smiles a little just as to reminiscing the old memory.

"And the current Gregorios is just a waste of air. Spending all their money and piling up the debts after debts. And moreover, they had galls to left all of their responsibilities to their five years old child."

"They did WHAT?" the Hero crushed the glass in his hand.

"But I must say the child is capable, unlike his parents. He didn't fail to give taxes since the time he took on the territory. Mind you, his parents didn't pay taxes since the time Ruin Gregorios start ruling his territory."

"Then the child must be a prodigy! I sure hope he takes after his grandfather instead of his father and with things are going, he is taking after his grandfather."

The two of them clink their glasses of wine and wish for the better future of both the Empire and for the safety of the Gregorios territory.

At that time, with the princess, she was inside her room, dancing the dance she had seen from a certain boy she made her promise.

"Was it like this? No. Like this?" With trial and error, she was able to dance all twelve forms successfully.

She is breathing hard right now. "I can only dance one full dance. Did I do something wrong?" she thought.

"The key is breathing. Remember that." She suddenly remembered the voice of the boy she had been thinking of since that night.

"He even predicted that I am going to try and dance the dance he did in the forest," she had stars in her eyes. She tried a different breathing method from the way she did before. And she was able to dance two turns.

"Not enough. I will need to try hard if I want to dance gracefully like him," she took some rest and stand up again to dance.

After hours later, she is breathing heavily on her bed.

"I wonder… what is he currently doing right now?"

With all the things happening with him at the center, our main character is drinking tea like it is none of his business.
