※ If you remove the book cover, you can read the bonus SS. The guide, who had been hit by Liam's grateful bullets all over, was walking down a dim alley.
"Yurisha—You betrayed me!"
She never imagined that Yurisha's deep-seated desire for revenge would involve discarding Liam in a romantic sense.
Why did you join the special forces! — Even if the guide felt betrayed, it was pointless.
Normally, one would return to the military, receive re-education, and not join the special forces.
And the guide had come to observe the behavior of Ans, who had not shown any movement this time.
"Ans, if you betrayed me too—"
While blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, the guide saw—
"Not yet! With that, you can't surpass Liam—your fellow disciple!"
—Ans, who lived in a place that seemed to be hiding, had set up a training ground and was teaching two children how to use swords.
The guide saw a glimmer of hope in this.
Two children stood in an unbalanced position, gripping wooden swords and sweating.
Despite their small size, they seemed stronger than Ans.
"Ans—I trusted you!"
Ans was teaching the two the Issen-ryu.
He was trying the method that had succeeded with Liam and seemed to be using most of the money he had obtained to train the two.
He had used the education capsules multiple times and was investing all his wealth to make the two stronger.
There was a reason for Ans to go to such lengths.
Knights who clearly had bad intentions came to visit Ans.
"Hey, old man. We heard there's a guy named Ans of the Issen-ryu here?"
Young men who looked like delinquents had arrived.
Ans responded immediately.
"Issen-ryu? I've never heard of it."
"Really? We got information that a famous knight, Liam's master, is here?"
"Really! A famous person, you say. But I don't know him."
"Damn! Let's go, guys."
—This is because the number of people searching for Liam's sword master has increased.
Ans was trembling.
(Damn! This is all because Liam spread the fictional sword technique, Issen-ryu! I'm getting too much unwanted attention.)
There was no time to play around.
He had to defeat Liam and show that Issen-ryu was an illusion.
For that, Ans was raising the two children carefully.
"Enough!"
The two children were breathing heavily with their eyes blindfolded.
"Good job, both of you. Your skills have improved."
The two children removed their blindfolds.
"Master, why did you lie to them?"
"Huh?"
"You could have easily defeated those guys."
"That's because—You must not wield your swords recklessly! Your swords are for defeating the strong!"
The two children had referred to the knights as mere grunts.
The guide could tell that the two were stronger than the knights from earlier.
"—We haven't caught up to Liam yet, but we are definitely growing. Ans, keep it up."
As the guide disappeared from the scene, a dog was watching.
The two children wiped their sweat.
"I've heard this before. You'll recognize us as full-fledged when we defeat our fellow disciple, right?"
"Yes. Defeating Lord Liam is the test."
"But, is the fellow disciple really the famous Liam? I don't trust it."
"Don't doubt it! You'll understand in time."
The two children, who seemed hungry, headed back home.
"Hey, I'm hungry. I want to eat."
"I'm so hungry~"
"Hey, wait a minute!"
The sight of Ans, who was struggling to take care of the two children, made the dog disappear as well.

—Something's wrong.
Inside the cockpit of Avad.
When I pushed the Machine Heart, it was absorbed by Avad.
"It didn't work on Tenjo."
There might be some issues, but it's an artifact given by the guide.
I'm sure it will be useful, so I let Avad use it.
It seems the output has increased compared to before.
Well, it's probably just a feeling.
I don't care about the exact numbers.
"Avad's power-up is good, but what's really going on?"
Well, if I had used it on Tenjo and failed, it would have been bad, so this might be for the best—hmm.
â—‡
A room in the mansion.
There were rows of beds for the maid robots.
Tenjo, who was lying on one of them, woke up.
"Life."
Giving life to a lifeless existence.
The Machine Heart, which did not react to Tenjo, made her feel a mix of disappointment and a little happiness.
"Were the emotions I felt real?"
Feeling a bit sad, Tenjo stood up to return to her work.
Then, she received a call from Liam.
'Tenjo, I'll let you ride the upgraded Avad.'
"Master, did you use the Machine Heart?"
'Yeah.'
"—Didn't I tell you not to use it until I investigated it?"
'It's fine. The source is guaranteed to be safe.'
The source is unknown to Tenjo.
'Here, let's go.'
"—Understood."
To check Avad's condition, Tenjo decided to ride it as well.
(Why does Master attract so many things?)
Too many lost technologies are gathering around Liam.
Tenjo wondered if there was something to it.

The hotel in the capital planet that Liam has reserved.
Rosetta is in charge of managing it.
The hotel manager was explaining the future plans to Rosetta while operating a tablet terminal in the lounge.
"Currently, 80% of the hotel rooms are booked."
Knights, soldiers, and officials from the Vanfield family are using the hotel rooms.
Additionally, Liam has brought children from families he has taken in to study abroad.
Many of the women who take care of Rosetta are from such families.
Liam's study abroad is also an opportunity to let them experience life in the capital planet.
Many nobles are isolated in their own territories, and there are many women who can't get over their princess-like attitudes even after their training.
Rosetta, from her training experience, wanted to show them that there are always people above them.
"We still have room to accommodate more."
The manager nodded.
"Yes, but if we fill up, we won't be able to handle emergencies."
"It's a dilemma. There are many people who need to see more of the world."
Originally, they were a gathering of nobles from the countryside.
They may have heard that the capital planet is amazing, but they don't understand how amazing it is.
They also need to teach this to their subjects.
Sometimes, when people gain knowledge, they think they can do anything and try to overthrow the lord.
In such cases, the empire will burn the planet to the ground.
They show no mercy to those who try to take their power.
Therefore, it is necessary to teach them the breadth of the world.
The easiest way is to not give them power from the beginning.
However, this goes against Liam's principles, so Rosetta decided to support him.
Besides, she has other work to do.
"I also need to check the mansion in the capital planet."
