“O-o-oouch! Hey! ….Sure, it’s my fault that I wasn’t wearing clothes, but you didn’t have to hit me you know.”
“Oh…… I’m sorry. Tsui! I don’t regret it!”
“You didn’t!?”
Meltera woke up and punched me.
If I was a dying old man, I would have died for sure.
『That’s what actually killed you in the previous life. Master, you are a pervert who never learns. 』
“I was so busy fighting the Demon King that I completely forgot about my clothes. I’ve been naked quite a few times recently too. I’m just a baby after all.”
Time was up. I returned to my original baby form.
“Now what? What should we do, Great Sage?”
“We’ve gotten rid of the Deophrastus, who was the culprit and the ruler behind this city. All that’s left to do is collect the taboo items.”
“You say it so simply, but the tower is full of enemies you know. It’s going to be quite a challenge, isn’t it?”
At that moment, the five old men came back fearfully.
It’s now quiet here, so they probably thought that the battle was over.
“T-the Great Sage is nowhere to be seen……?”
“Don’t tell me…. those two babies defeated him!?”
“That’s impossible! He is as powerful as a god, right?”
Ignoring the panicked group, I asked Meltera.
“What are we going to do with these old men? If this continues, they will become the rulers of this city then.”
“They look corrupt too. I don’t think they should be left alone.”
“Then it becomes a question of who is going to govern this city…… Oh, right!”
I proposed to Meltera.
“You should rule this city instead!”
“Ah?”
★★★
After that, the magical city of Enderzen fell into chaos. This was only natural, as the Five Elders, who officially reigned at the top, had been captured by a mysterious group.
“Hmm, they’re attacking again.”
“I’ll fight back as many times as it takes!”
“Leave half to me.”
Fana and Anje joined us, and we are now standing on the top of the tower. The Magic Knights have carried out rescue operations for the elders several times, but they have been repelled each time.
“But how long are we going to keep it like this?”
“It’s okay, it’s already over. Look.”
In order to completely reverse this situation, I had done something to the Five Wise Men.
“Long live the Great Sage Meltera-sama!”
“““Long live the Great Sage Meltera-sama, long live~~!”””
“Great Sage Meltera-sama…… munyamunya.”
Yes, they had been brainwashed.
—And one of them has been sleeping the whole time.
“Hey, what do you mean!?”
“Well, you see, Meltera, you are more suitable for a great sage than Deophrastus. You are still a baby now, but when you grow up, you will become more dignified. You’re a high elf after all.”
“That’s not the problem!”
Meltera is screaming in protest, but there is no one more qualified than her. Fortunately, no one other than the Five Wise Men had seen Deophrastus, so no one would know if the higher up had changed.
“If we are talking about a great sage, then you are the most suitable person for the job.”
“No, I’m fine. I’ve had enough of it in my previous life. I’ve been reborn, so I’m going to travel the world as an adventurer in this life.”
By brainwashing the Five Wise Men, the reform of the city proceeded in the blink of an eye. Experiments and research of the taboo items have been cancelled, and all magic tools and items created have been collected.
In addition, the underground living quarters were closed, and the monsters returned to their original human form by removing the black magic stones imbedded in them. The children who had been trained as pilots of the magic giants were also released safely.
There are still many problems, but I am sure that Meltera will be able to reincarnate this magical city.
“Alright, good luck~”
“Sigh…… It can’t be helped then…… Now that I’ve fulfilled my purpose on why I used rejuvenation magic, I don’t have anything else to do, so be it……”
We said goodbye to Meltera, who exhaled resignedly, and left the magic city.
