Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master Chapter 441: Sorry, for Now

“There’s something about this… whoa, hang on.”

“Yeah, it doesn’t seem like some forbidden magic I assumed~, but honestly… this is something else entirely…”

“I mean, does he even have any motivation~?”

Everyone familiar with “the son of Hero Hiro” up until that point had presumed that for a mere talented boy to suddenly become powerful, he would inevitably turn to "demonic rituals" or "illegal forbidden magic," even without concrete knowledge.

Yes, that was the general assumption…

What presented a slight surprise, however, was the nature of the place known as “Cacretale.”

This land, governed by Jamdi’el, one of the world’s most infamous outlaws, was inhabited by people entirely unaware of the outside world. Yet, the inhabitants led remarkably ordinary lives. Indeed, it was a land populated by calm, peaceful, and lively individuals.

Within that territory, the hero’s son experienced a life that seemed utterly improbable for a realm overseen by “Jamdi’el of the Six Supremacy.” He was surrounded by kind sisters, a young girl who developed an affection for him, and opportunities to train at a dojo while engaging with peers his own age.

Precisely because of this, to those “who knew nothing,” witnessing such a scene invariably led them to the same conclusion.

… And so.

In reality, their assumptions were quite natural.

Initially, Earth would engage in light weight training, shadow boxing, and sparring, reserving his most intense cultivation for the world of Vier, where he trained with unwavering dedication.

However, this was only in the preliminary stages.

Those observing with pleasant smiles would soon discover the truth.

Yes, everything changed following a particular reunion.

〔You… do, do you know who I am?〕

〔…… Huh?〕

〔I’m… sorry…〕

〔Eh?〕

〔I don’t understand… but… I’m sorry… I just don’t get it… I’m sure I did something to you… I’ve wronged you… I truly wish to apologize… and…〕

This was Sadiz, who had been under protection in Cacretale.

Furthermore, Sadiz had suffered memory loss.

“I see. So, having lost her memory, this is how you were reunited with Earth…”

“Ah, yes… that’s correct, Princess. And… I was unknowingly quite disrespectful to Little Man as well…”

“I understand… Hmm…”

Because Phianse, Fu, and Rebal had been present at the tournament and were aware of the events that transpired, their hearts ached seeing Earth’s pained expression as he confronted the amnesiac Sadiz reflected in the sky.

〔If you don’t remember, then don’t you dare apologize so readily!!〕

Earth then cried out, tears welling in her eyes.

〔You don’t even know what you did wrong! You can’t recall anything! And yet, you immediately apologize? Cut the crap! Don’t just throw that out there! It was incredibly painful… it was grueling… my heart… it ached… but… I… I severed it and moved forward! I discarded everything I once held dear… that’s how I managed to get back on my feet!〕

〔Ah…〕

〔If… you don’t… even… remember… then stop throwing it around! Why, why are you standing in my way?〕

〔…… I’m so… sorry…〕

〔Hey, I told you not to apologize! I don’t want to hear those words… I ran away, but… why do you disregard my feelings and say that? Why… why… wh… y… is it…〕

Sadiz, who had lost her memory, bore no fault. Nevertheless, Earth’s outcry was raw.

Even Phianse did not believe Earth’s reaction was “unreasonable.”

“Earth… was truly… suffering, wasn’t he? You agree, Rebal.”

“…………”

“He bore a torment that individuals like us could never truly comprehend… and when he finally couldn’t endure it any longer…”

“…… Yeah…”

Rebal, also observing the scene silently, once again reflected on his own inadequacy – his inability to have done anything meaningful during the difficult period Earth endured.

Upon their reunion in the Heavenly Realm, Earth had already ascended to a level far surpassing their own.

His own powerlessness, which prevented him from fighting alongside such a formidable Earth.

And the fact that he had been unable to offer support by Earth’s side during his hardships – whether in the Heavenly Realm, at the tournament, or throughout Earth’s life in Cacretale.

Imprinting this realization deeply within himself, Rebal, alongside Fu and Phianse, directed their gaze towards the heavens.

But on the other side of this…

〔Nooooo~… you’re in front of the patient! Don’t!〕

〔Nu!?〕

〔Hmmmm~… don’t!〕

Amidst his tumultuous, complex, and directionless emotions, there was a presence beside Earth capable of offering solace.

It was the embodiment of a pure and innocent Goddess, blessed with both beauty and charm.

〔It has nothing to do with her, leave…〕

〔Earth… please calm down.〕

〔Tsk…〕

〔Earth〕

〔That’s because…〕

〔Earth〕

〔Ugh… ooo…〕

She was naturally carefree and possessed little regard for social nuances.

And yet, within the eyes of Goddess Kron—eyes that never wavered from Earth, fixed solely upon him—a powerful resolve could be seen.

Ultimately, Earth could not withstand the intensity of her gaze and lowered his head, restraining the fist he had been poised to raise.

〔Well then! To help everyone calm down… let’s all enjoy an early morning tea time!〕

Even those who encountered Goddess Kron for the first time—despite knowing she was a “demon”—found themselves utterly enchanted by her.

Men from across the globe were captivated, exclaiming things like, “She’s so cute,” “I’ve fallen for her,” “She’s exactly my type,” and “I want to marry her.”

And then……

“I see~, so that’s Kron…… one of the potential bride candidates for Big brother. She’s certainly an incredibly cute girl. Shinobu dear is more refined. The fact that she can properly say ‘no’ to Big brother is a big plus point.”

“Yes. But for now, I feel like she’s just a sheltered, naive girl. It appears the nuns at the church handle all her personal affairs. Compared to Shinobu, who excels at all household chores and cooking, and still has ample room to enhance her combat skills, Kron does seem somewhat lacking…….”

“Un, that’s true ~. That’s the matter. With Shinobu dear, even if she had a child, she’d presumably raise them correctly. Unlike misguided individuals like Hiro and Mamu. She’s intelligent, and she wouldn’t neglect her children.”

“Well, I believe that girl Kron will absolutely dote on a child she has with Brother, much like she does with that other child, Amae. However, it seems she’ll go overboard, becoming overly protective or end up acting more like a companion than a parent. If that situation arises, I wonder how it will unfold~”

“Un, I suppose there’s still a considerable distance to cover……”

“Yeah, we’ll observe and wait for the time being.”

Within the Elven Settlement, Espie and Slayer were diligently taking notes as they observed Kron, as if scrutinizing her very essence.

Their expressions were utterly serious, devoid of any levity.

They were meticulously assessing her suitability as their brother’s wife.

“Fwaaah~, such a comely maiden graces the world beyond~…… a Goddess, you say? Aye… she truly seems to embody the part…”

“Yes. That is Kron-san. My rival……”

“Fwaaah… for one to be dear Shinobu’s rival, she must indeed be truly remarkable… And that fair and radiant woman there… who might Lady Sadiz be?”

“That individual is…… Honey’s first love…… so it would appear……”

“Wha—!? I-is that so!? Sir Earth’s…… ? Ah… so that is the reason he seemed so greatly shaken… Truly…… Sir Earth is most splendid, and consequently, he draws unto himself such wondrous women as yourself and the others… How marvelous… how enviable… all of you……”

Meanwhile, Shinobu, having learned about her rival Kron and her encounter with Earth, let out a smirk to herself, her motivation surging as she clenched her fists tightly.

Amicus, on the other hand, found herself completely mesmerized by Kron’s appearance and, upon discovering that Sadiz was Earth’s first love, felt a complex swirl of emotions and gradually sank into a dejected state.

“Fuaaaaaaaaaah! Like, what even is that?! That girl. it’s as if someone straight-up stole the Great Demon King’s visage and sculpted a totally cute chick! Is she seriously another bride candidate, Hubbyyyyyyy!”

“Hmm… Indeed, she does bear a striking resemblance to the Great Demon King Tre’ainar… What exactly was Jamdi’el orchestrating……?”

“My Lord, are you serious? From the sound of her voice, she’s quite cute, and I genuinely can’t associate her with that notorious Great Demon King, but are they actually quite similar?”

In addition, Norja, who was intimately acquainted with the Great Demon King Tre’ainar, and Mikado and Kojiro, who were once formidable enemies with him, sensed something more profound about her than initially met the eye – more than just “a cute girl” – and consequently paid closer attention to her……

“…… wait…… that Paripi? How did he even acquire footage of everyday scenes like these…? Seriously, just how much of my private life has been exposed? I sincerely hope there aren’t any activities I shouldn’t be seen doing… is everything alright!?”

『…… Hmm……』

Earth and Tre’ainar were both engrossed in the pressing question, “Just how much of this is going to be publicly revealed?”

And ……

Those who were viewing the exact same scene simultaneously……

“Fwahahaha! Blimey, your emotions are all over the shop, ain’t they, Earth Lagann. And you had the sheer audacity to talk big to me like that! Well, I suppose you’ll be growin’ a fair bit from ‘ere…… Hehehe! And looks like that doll’s comin’ along nicely too, good on ya… Oi, wot’s up then? You two lookin’ all funny.”

Beside Hakuki, who was quite relaxed as he observed from the rampart of his castle hideout, leaning back comfortably in his chair, Hiro and Mamu, who were unable to move due to their restraints, were……

“Hah… ‘You don’t even know what you did wrong!’… ‘And right away, you’re sorry? Drop the bullshit!!’… that’s precisely correct, isn’t it.”

“Yes…… and we… still haven’t grasped the meaning even now.”

In a distant land, just as Phianse, Rebal, and Fu had their hearts utterly torn apart in a faraway land, these two individuals too were deeply affected by Earth’s heartbreaking cries.

Special Shoutout to all my Patrons for the Overwhelming Support! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
