87. Transform! Transform!
87. Transform! Transform!
87. Transform! Transform!
After the main scenario quest ended, I said goodbye to the Demon King and was spending peaceful time.
Of course, while studying.
I woke up in the morning, studied at the library, had a light lunch, and then continued studying until evening.
On my way home from the library, timed with my parents' return from work.
My sister asked me to buy mint chocolate ice cream on the way home via text message, so I bought ice cream and snacks at the convenience store. When I entered the house, my parents and sister welcomed me.
Of course, my sister welcomed the plastic bag in my hand more.
The momentary disappointment faded as my parents hugged me and told me I did well today.
"Hehehe, praise me more!"
I said in a cute voice, and mom's eyes widened.
"Oh my, was our daughter always this adorable?"
As I was grinning at mom and dad's touch while they patted my head, Yong-yong cried out for food.
"Kyuung!"
"Hmm? Tteokbokki? I'll buy it for you later."
"Kyuuung!"
I tried to refuse, but when he shed crocodile tears, I had no choice but to give in.
At that moment, my mom gently stroked Yong-yong.
"Hohoho, eat it after dinner."
"Kyuung!"
Wait, why does he listen to mom better than me!?
As I was looking at him with a bewildered expression, he avoided my gaze and mumbled something.
Our Yong-yong saying he doesn't listen to me because I'm the lowest in the hierarchy.
I pinched Yong-yong's cheeks and told him to say it again, but he exercised his right to remain silent.
This guy... I can't just let this slide as his owner.
After finishing dinner, I ordered tteokbokki for delivery using the card I received from Nia. Our Yong-yong waited, drooling.
There was one fact I overlooked.
I won't give him a single bite until he acknowledges me as his owner.
When the tteokbokki arrived at home, I looked at our Yong-yong, who seemed ready to pounce on the enormous amount, and asked.
"What did our Yong-yong say earlier? That you don't listen to me?"
I raised an eyebrow at Yong-yong as I asked.
"Kyuuung!?"
Yong-yong blinked his eyes in surprise.
He said there was no such thing, that he listens to everything I say, and begged me to give it to him quickly.
I patted his head and said, "You'll always listen well, right?" Only after he nodded and said he understood did I open the tteokbokki for him. He ate it as if he was inhaling it.
Our Yong-yong is a dragon after all.
It means he must keep his word.
Only after finishing the tteokbokki did he seem to realize his mistake, looking at me, but it was too late.
"You'll listen well?"
"Kyuuu."

How many days had passed since the main scenario ended?
With hurried footsteps, an executive of the Red Revolution Group entered the office.
The executive reported, panting.
"B-big trouble, Comrade Yuna!"
"What's the matter?"
"There are signs of a coup in the Avalon Empire!"
With the Emperor fleeing and abandoning the people, they couldn't just sit still.
What's important for us is that we now have justification.
This interesting... No, we can't just sit by while we hear the voices of the suffering people!
"Gather the executives. We'll hold a meeting."
"Understood, Comrade Yuna!"
As he disappeared as quickly as he entered to call the meeting, a picture-perfect smile spread across my face as I thought about the upcoming coup.
"Kyuuung."
"Hehehe, are you excited too, Yong-yong? We have justification now."
I packed the flag hanging on one wall into my inventory and entered the conference room, where the executives of the Red Revolution Group were gathered.
As travelers and monsters gathered in one place to hold the meeting, opinions were unanimous.
"Our Red Revolution Group cannot sit idle when we hear the voices of the people. So, we will join them."
With those words, preparations began.
The Red Revolution Group's preparations for a coup.

As numerous people rose up and protested, and knights and soldiers were deployed to suppress them, an unexpected event occurred.
Suspicious movements of the Red Revolution Group were detected.
As a result, the imperial faction in the empire's leadership was put on high alert.
"Why are they moving!? Didn't we negotiate with them!?"
"Look at this."
There was an exception clause in the negotiation.
A clause saying they would listen to the voices of the people.
This is giving me a headache.
We thought we could suppress it by breaking up the citizens before they united and punishing a few ringleaders, but this is a big problem.
Moreover, as more and more people join the noble faction, the imperial faction is bound to lose power.
At this rate, it's not just the Emperor's position that's at risk, but their own positions too. The nobles looked at Duke Adonis Ether, the key figure in this situation.
"Duke! Are you going to just sit by!?"
"That's right! At times like this, we should unite and..."
"Enough."
Duke Adonis Ether silenced the noisy nobles and finally spoke after a long while.
"I'll meet them myself."
"Oh, that's reassuring."
"We'll trust in you, Duke."
With a throbbing headache from the continuous flattery until the end of the meeting, he headed to the meeting place.
Entering an ordinary pub located in the western district, there was only one young girl waiting inside.
"You've come!"
The leader of the Red Revolution Group and the Demon King's favorite, the traveler Yuna.
And for some reason, every time he saw her, his heart ached, and she seemed to follow him well, which he couldn't understand.
As soon as he sat down across from the traveler who told him to take a seat, she got straight to the point.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Betraying my lord is not a decision I can make lightly."
Hearing those words, her expression changed.
It was as if she was scolding a naive child.
The girl took something out from her bosom and handed it to him.
Receiving and checking the bead, it was a video orb.
Inside, there were vivid images of countless corruptions and people suffering.
"I'm making this proposal to you, Duke, whom I trust the most. Only you can rectify this situation. Countless people are suffering because of an incompetent leader."
"......"
He couldn't say anything. Because it was all true.
After much deliberation, he made his decision.
To accept their proposal.
"Can you keep your promise?"
"Of course! I won't interfere with the empire at all. Our goal is fun... No, a coup... No, no, it's to save the suffering people!"
What an honest girl.
He smiled slightly, and she told him to contact her with a date and time before opening a space and leaving.
To have such power and yet no greed.
Is that a blessing? Or...

The long-awaited contact came.
From Duke Adonis Ether.
I rang the bell hanging in the office, and the door opened as an aide entered.
It was the Silver Fox Clan twin sisters, Rang and Ran.
"Did you call for us?"
"Did you call?"
I had made a contract with them using magic stones as a condition when I visited their village before the goblin attack, and they've been taking care of me diligently then and now.
"Can you call a meeting?"
"Understood."
"Got it!"
The protagonist always appears last.
After pacing in the corridor for about 10 minutes, I entered the conference room where everyone was waiting.
Fully prepared.
"How are the preparations going?"
"Everyone is ready."
"We can move at any time."
It's finally time for the Red Revolution Group to move.
I got up from my seat with a grin.
Opening the door next to the conference room and stepping out onto the terrace, countless revolution members and monsters were gathered in one place.
Their numbers reached tens of thousands at a rough estimate.
As I appeared, cheers erupted from all around, but when I raised my hand, silence fell in an instant.
I took out a megaphone from my inventory and shouted.
"We will fight for the suffering people!"
With my words, tremendous cheers erupted, and one by one, they began to wave the flags of revolution.

The roar of the Red Revolution Army shook the earth.
The ground trembled under their footsteps, and wyverns and griffons spread their wings in the sky.
Travelers and monsters began marching in perfect order.
Smiles were drawn on their faces.
How could they resist such an exciting event?
There's only one reason to play a game.
For fun.
There's no traveler who wouldn't smile in this situation where dopamine is flowing freely.
Just as the imperial side was preparing to defend.
Led by Duke Adonis Ether, the remaining nine Sword Masters also began to step up for the greater cause.
As a result, the Avalon Empire rushed into a new phase.
