e to keep up.

If it were as large as the subjugation force this time, they would have been able to repel the attack no matter how well organized the enemy was, but I shudder to think what would have happened if they had been forced to use a number of goods that exceeded their supply capacity.

“At that point, we would have had no choice but to give them a good whack.”

I let out a sigh as I check the magic sparkling stone bomb with a parachute in my inventory.
Fortunately, this time we didn’t have to use it, but we don’t know what will happen next time.
According to calculations, this magic sparkling stone bomb is powerful enough to blow up the entire Erichburg, according to Isla.
If this bomb were to hit, it would be a blow to an army of tens of thousands of men.

“But this is indeed…”

With this, the armies of any country in the world would be defeated.
With this magic sparkling stone bomb, you can blow up tens of thousands of soldiers in a single blow without leaving any survivors.
There is no way to counteract the fact that all witnesses will literally disappear.
However, I thought it would take an extraordinary resolve to use this.

“Indeed what?”

“Whoa!”

I shouted out at the sound of a voice suddenly coming from behind me.
I turned around, and there was Ellen.
She was wearing luxurious priest’s robes that made her look very saintly, and she had a high level of defense.

“W-why are you so surprised?”

“I was completely caught off guard when you suddenly called out to me, and I was startled.
Have you been working this morning?”

“Yes, I’ve finished it.
So, what is indeed you said before?”

Ellen stares at my face.

According to Isla, her eyes are a kind of magic eyes, which can tell when the person she is looking at is telling a lie.
In fact, she used this ability to be revered by the people in the Holy Kingdom as a saint of truth, and conversely, she was resented by the evil priests and nobles who were exposed.

What I am trying to say is that there is no point in deceiving her.

“I’m just glad I didn’t have to use my trump card.
This time we managed to get rid of 20,000 of the Holy Kingdom’s army with this, but I have something even more vicious, something that can blow everything up with a single blow.”

Saying this, I pulled out a heavy-barreled light machine gun from my inventory.

The weight of this light machine gun, which originally weighed more than 11 kg, had increased by about 30% to more than 1.5 kg as a result of the barrel and machine parts being made of black steel, a metal unique to this world.
The weight increases even more when a drum magazine with 50 rounds is attached.

“Can I hold it?”

“Sure, but it’s heavy.”

“It’s only a little heavy.”

“Be careful.”

I handed the light machine gun to Ellen.

I can handle something like this without any difficulty because of my higher level or because of the achievement I received when I passed the level 20 mark, but this thing must be heavy for the slender Ellen. 

“Mm… It’s certainly heavy.
Can a soldier of the Liberation Army wield something like this?”

Ellen, who managed to hold the light machine gun, frowned at its weight.
The picture of a saint with a light machine gun has quite a strong impact.
The combination of a pistol and a machine gun with a sister’s uniform is also a good one.
It seems to have the same goodness.

“It is not a weapon to hit, though.
Well, they seem to be able to control the recoil without any problem, so this is no problem at all.”

“It’s amazing.
I can’t even walk around with this thing.”

“Probably.”

I took the light machine gun from Ellen’s hand and returned it to my inventory.
The one that Ellen was holding right now was one of the items that I had stored in my inventory for safekeeping.
It was brand new, never been used.

No matter whether you use it or not, it is a saga of a survivalist wanting to keep one of the weapons you have made in a usable condition, right?

“So, what’s your trump card?”

“A dangerous weapon that can annihilate an army of tens of thousands with a single blow.
The details are a secret.”

“Secret?”

“It’s a secret.
The less you know about it, the better.
Only a few people in the Liberation Army know about it.
It’s not something I’m willing to use.”

Ellen tilted her head.

“If there is such a thing, wouldn’t it be possible to bring the Holy Kingdom to bow down quickly if you use it proactively?”

“If I wanted to exterminate the existence of the Holy Kingdom, I would have done so.
I don’t think Sylphy and I are that inclined to go that far.”

“I see… there must be a lot of grudges that have been building up.”

“It would be unrealistic to destroy the entire family and clan by wielding power out of spite, and the Holy Kingdom is far too large to do so.
The resentment of Sylphy and the others are deep, but it is not enough to cloud their eyes to see the reality.”

“That was fortunate for the people of the Holy Kingdom, wasn’t it?”

“It sounds to me as if Ellen has more resentment toward the Holy Kingdom than Sylphy does.”

Ellen looked at me at my words and blinked.
She looked as if my words had fallen on her heart.

“I guess so.
I hate the Holy Kingdom.
I even want it to be destroyed.”

“That doesn’t sound very peaceful.”

“I’m sure Kosuke thinks so too.
If you see the reality of that country in various ways.”

Ellen let out a sigh and dropped her gaze to the floor.
As a saint, Ellen must have had plenty of exposure to the inner workings of Adol religion and the Holy Kingdom.
If she is so willing to go so far as to say this, then perhaps the corruption in the center of the Holy Kingdom is worse than I had thought.

“Well, I’m probably not going to actively destroy the Holy Kingdom, so please keep that in mind.
I do believe they’ll have to pay for the firestorm that’s coming down on us, though.”

“That’s too bad.
I would have loved to see that damn Pope and that damn Holy King crying and begging for their lives with my own eyes.”

“Hey, Saint-sama, you’re giving off a black aura.”

“Ara ara, ufufu.”

Ellen puts on her best saintly smile and hides the blackness that is oozing out of her.
What the hell did the Pope of Adol and the Holy King of the Holy Kingdom do to Ellen if Ellen has such a grudge against them? I’d like to ask, but I’m too afraid to.
Maybe I should ask Archbishop Deckard about it next time.

“What about Kosuke after this?”

“Well, I don’t have any definite plans until noon.
If Melty or Sylphy give me something to do, I’ll probably focus on that.”

The POWs acquired in yesterday’s battle should have been taken care of in the POW camp that was built when we captured Merinesburg, so there shouldn’t be anything urgent I have to do.
I finished treating the wounded and burying the dead of the Holy Kingdom’s army yesterday.
I heard that the Harpies were going to spend the daytime sleeping, too.

“Then please accompany me throughout the morning.
Kosuke is a little lacking in a lot of things.”

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘lacking.’ Not sure what’s going on here, but I have a feeling that you are being rude to me, don’t you?”

“You’ll understand soon enough.
Come on, let’s go.”

Ellen then walked behind me and started to push me back.
I don’t know what’s going on, but it looks like I’m going to have to spend the morning with Ellen.
