Chapter 233: What Kind of Engagement is this?
The Alliance Council meeting had finally come to an end—and thankfully, it ended well. I was genuinely relieved that all the parties present were able to reach mutual understanding and respect, despite the tensions that surfaced earlier.
Well... there was a bit of friction here and there, but in the end, cooler heads prevailed and it was resolved without further issue.
As the room began to empty, I turned my attention to the quest screen floating in front of me.
"Hmm... this part looks easy enough," I muttered to myself. "Training the kingdom’s heroes shouldn’t be too hard, especially with Runa and King Aslan helping me out."

"What the hell? That’s insane!" I groaned in my mind. "Even Salvador-sama, the Magic King himself, is on that team—and if he hasn’t cracked it yet, how am I supposed to help?!"
Just as I began to spiral into panic, an all-too-familiar voice rang out in my mind.
"Oi, you idiot! Don’t you dare forget that you have me on your side!" Envi’s voice thundered with confidence. "With the help of the great Envi-sama, breaking some ancient demon spell is a piece of cake!"
I couldn’t help but chuckle softly. "Pfft... Alright, alright. I’m counting on you, Envi."
