Chapter 1696 Shin is always caused a trouble

The school days passed very quickly, and during the break, everyone went to the Bean's Workshop to see the sword that Shin had ordered before.

"Oh, you're here. The prototype is ready," Mark's father said with a smile when he looked at everyone. His gaze turned toward Haru, and his smile became brighter. After all, he learned from his son that this ordinary young man was, in truth, one of the richest men and the youngest member of the Els. He was, after all, a commoner, and unlike the noble, he didn't think too much about the nationality between countries, and he knew that if he could impress Haru, then his goods might be able to be sold at the Els.

"That was quick work!" Shin was amazed, looking at the knife on the table with a happy smile.

Haru only glanced at it and didn't think too much.

"Well, of course!" Mark's father was happy when he was praised by the grandson of the Wise Man.

After talking for a while, it was time to test the sword.

Shin held the sword while listening to Mark's father's instruction.

"Okay, go ahead and push the trigger on the hilt."

Shin did what he was told, then the sword came out from the hilt, falling to the ground. "It came out!" He then looked at Haru and asked, "What do you think, Haru?" He knew that there was no way this sword could be built without Haru.

"Well, as long as you're happy with it." Haru shook his head and wondered why Shin could be happy with just such a little toy, and in his thought, it was better to attack from the long-range rather than a close-range. He then noticed that August seemed to be interested in the sword and could only shake his head since he had a feeling what this guy was about to say.

Haru then walked out with everyone, and the girls who had been waiting outside quickly asked.

"Finish your errands?" Maria asked.

"It's done." Haru nodded, but then he looked at Shin and said, "By the way, Shin has something to give all of you."

"Yeah." Shin nodded with a smile and said, "I have an accessory as a present for all of you. I'll enchant them with defensive magic and give them to all of you later."

"Oh, what were you saying before?" They remembered Shin saying that he would give them an accessory that was enchanted with magic so they could protect themselves better. After all, the danger of the devil was still there.

But then...

"Shin, Haru, about your sword, I'm thinking of suggesting them to the army to adopt them, too. Do you two mind?" August asked.

"Well, I think that my grandma won't be happy with it." Shin shook his head.

"No, I'm not talking about your vibration sword; I want to use them as a general issue sword. We'll require some modifications, but if we mass-produce them, we can reinforce our weaponry while keeping the cost down," August said with a serious expression.

"Hmm... the idea for the sword was Haru's, so if he's okay with it, so am I," Shin said.

August twitched his lips, then looked at Haru and asked, "Haru, what do you think?"

"I can agree, but you have to sign an agreement that you must buy this sword from me," Haru said without hesitation. In truth, his sword wasn't necessarily better than a normal sword. Only the cost of this sword was quite small, compared to a normal sword.

August thought for a while and nodded. "I agree." After all, he knew that the kingdom would spend money to buy this sword, so it was better to buy it from the one who created it and the blacksmith of the Earlshide Kingdom didn't necessarily understand the sword better than Haru.

"Good." Haru smiled and gave his hand to August. "Thank you for your patronage, your highness."

August twitched his lips and took Haru's hand. "You from Els have always thought about money."

Haru shook his head and said, "We're not thinking about money, but with interest, our relationship can be quite smooth. After all, you should know that there are no eternal alliances, only an eternal interest."

"There are no eternal alliances, only an eternal interest..." Everyone murmured when they heard Haru's words and thought his words were right.

"Don't worry. I'll send the sword shortly. After all, the war is near, right?" Haru asked calmly.

"Thank you." August nodded in relief, but then he was startled and asked, "You know?"

Haru shrugged his shoulders and said, "It'll be weird if I don't know about it."

"Well, that's true." August nodded. After all, it would be weird if Haru didn't know about this matter with Haru's status.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" Shin was confused.

"The truth is, war may be close at hand," August said with a serious expression.

"Eh?" Shin was dumbfounded.

"I knew it." Olivia also became serious and told everyone what she had heard from customers of her family dining. "Our customers often say the same thing is passing."

"War? To whom?" Shin asked with a serious expression.

"With the Bluesphere Empire," Haru said.

August nodded with Haru's words and said, "Still, you should read more, Shin."

"....." Shin was a bit embarrassed, but he continued to ask, "But why?"

"You'll have to ask them." August shook his head and said, "Apparently, there's a massive buildup to go to war in the empire."

"If war really breaks out, then we students might be enlisted," Thor said.

"...." Everyone's atmosphere became depressed when they heard that the war was near.

August knew that everyone's mood wasn't good now, so he could only ease their mood. "We - well, it hasn't started yet. There's no point in working up now—especially you, Shin. The devil is one thing, but we will never drag you into a war. That would be military appropriation."

Haru nodded and agreed with August, but somehow Shin was very naive and had a lot of idealism, so...

"Sure, you may not draft me, but if you are all on the battlefield, I will take up the battlefield...." Shin was about to continue, but someone cut his words.

"Shin, are you serious?" Haru asked, but his eyes were cold at that moment, staring at Shin, but even so, his piercing cold stare caused everyone to tremble.

Shin was startled and felt that his body was pressured by Haru's stares, which made him feel slightly afraid.

"Shin, you may be a good kid, and you're a good friend, but sometimes, you need to think about your situation more and don't act with just an impulse." Haru looked at Shin and said, "Shin, you're so powerful. You're very powerful that with just you alone, you can destroy everything whether it is a country or this continent, so if you join the war between the Earlshide Kingdom and Bluesphere Empire, then, without doubt, the Bluesphere Empire will be destroyed without leaving anything behind."

Shin was too stunned and shook his head. "You're so exaggerated, Haru."

"Really? Then ask everyone here. I'm sure that everyone agrees that you have the power to destroy everything in this world," Haru said.

Shin looked at everyone and felt in shock when everyone believed that Haru's words were right.

"Shin, I have to agree with August's words that you shouldn't join the war. After all, you're not someone from the Earlshide Kingdom or rather, it is better that you maintain your status as a neutral person, like what Aunt Melinda and Uncle Merlin do, since if you really join one country, then without a doubt, all the countries in this continent will target you, or rather try to kill you, after all, you're a dangerous factor for everyone. It's good that we maintain a status quo, so don't destroy it, and believe in your friends. They're not weak enough to help you," Haru said.

August quickly nodded and said, "Yes, our kingdom isn't weak." He knew very well what Haru said was true since if Shin, known as a powerful magician, would be targeted by everyone.

Haru patted Shin's shoulder and said, "I know your intention is good, but you need to think more, Shin. Don't always cause trouble, and if by any chance in the future that both the Earlshide and the Els will go to war, which side you'll help?"

"What?! The Earlshide and the Els will go to war?!" Everyone was dumbfounded.

Haru twitched his lips and said, "I mean "if," and it is also quite impossible for both the Earlshide and the Els to go to war with each other."

"Huh? Why?" Maria subconsciously asked.

Haru looked at Maria and asked, "Do you want our country to have a war?"

"Of course not!" Maria quickly shook her head.

Haru smiled and said, "It's our geography position. Our country is being separated by two great countries: the Bluesphere Empire and the Ys Holy Nation."

"Ah!" Everyone nodded in understanding. After all, most wars happened on the land, and two great countries separated the Earlshide Kingdom and the Els.

"I...." Shin couldn't answer Haru's question.

"And Shin, you should know that what you'll fight isn't a demon, but a human." Haru stared at Shin's eyes and said, "Can you say to me that you can kill a human without hesitation? They're not demons. Even though I agree that the nobility and the empire's king are damned, the soldiers are innocent, and they're only forced by the king and the nobility to fight. If you kill one of them, then that's mean, you're going to kill the son of someone, the husband of someone, or the father of someone."

"...." Shin was in silence since he had never thought too much, or rather everything was so smooth for him to do his ideal, do an adventure, and gained a lot of powers. Everything was so smooth that he didn't think about the consequences of his action. If Haru wasn't here, then everything would go according to his way. Unfortunately, Haru was here. He didn't have his heroine, nor

"I don't want you to be bathed in the blood of soldiers, least that you'll be full of infamy and have to bear such a responsibility, and if you really join the war, then I might not be surprised if you're being called a demon king in the future," Haru said with a serious expression.

"........" Everyone was in silence and couldn't say anything since they knew what Haru had said was right.

"Yeah, Shin, you don't need to join the war. You're not from our country, after all," August said and also didn't want his friend to be bathed with the blood of the soldiers.

Shin was depressed and said, "I'm sorry." Those were the only words that could come out of his mouth.

Haru had a sincere expression on his face and patted Shin's shoulder. "It's alright. I just don't want you to be feared and bear that kind of infamy in the future."

"Haru..." Shin was moved.

"Alright, enough of this depressing atmosphere!" Haru shouted, then asked, "Olivia, is your dining empty?"

"Uh, yeah!" Olivia quickly nodded.

"I have made a contract of from his highness, so let me treat all of you to Olivia's dining, eat and drink as much as you want without worry! Let's have a party!" Haru shouted.

"OOOOOOOHHHH!!!" Everyone howled when they heard Haru's words.

The depressing atmosphere disappeared instantly, and everyone was excited about the party.

"Come on! What are you two waiting for?" Haru directly wrapped his arms around both Shin and August, bringing them to Olivia's dining.

"..." August and Shin looked quite helpless, but then they also smiled and went to Olivia's dining to have a party!
