Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

The day after the battle with Hades.

Yui and I were being escorted off by the soldiers.

「Please join the Nordic organization」「yeah, let’s protect Japan and Scandinavia together」「There are many beautiful girls in scandinavia」

The soldiers all tried to keep me.

As for the last one, Yui glared at him as if she was going to eat him alive.

「I ask you too」

「「「Ah!? You dare!」」」

Tetsugan, who was still acting as if he was a big shot, was getting a lot of scolding from all the soldiers.

Apparently, they had heard about his treatment of me and Yui.

He was being completely ostracized.

The soldiers tried to give us socks, shell casings, rations, and other souvenirs but we politely declined.

I know that they didn’t bring that much to the island and I don’t need them anyway.

 Instead, I asked for two things as a reward.

One is a replica of a headband type divine object that no one had adapted to.

It was one of the items brought in by the Nordic Organization for this training and no one in the organization has been able to adapt to it.

The other one is the remnant of the “core”.

Well, it is better to say that I secretly picked it up rather than receiving it.

It no longer has enough power left to generate variants but the concentration of magic power is still quite high.

I noticed something when I came to this island and looked at the replicas of the divine objects other than gungnir.

Only Yui’s divine object had a higher output compared to the others.

Even compared to its state before I optimized it.

After obtaining the remnants of the core, I found out that gungnir seems to be made of a core’s remnants.

Is this why6 some soldiers think that gungnir is so special?

Come to think of it, Kagutsuchi was also trying to take off Yui’s black tights but maybe he knew something about it.

The remnant of the core used in gungnir is extremely minute and cannot be separated from the divine object. I don’t think there’s any reason for a variant to want that thing…..

Regardless, it would be a good enough reward.

I hope Futaba will like this souvenir.

There was no store on a small, deserted island after all.

Yui fell asleep as soon as she boarded the chopper for our return trip.

She must be very tired.

I also felt like sleeping.

Incidentally, Tetsugan was on a separate flight at Yui’s request.

What woke me up from my shallow sleep was the ringtone of the phs that I haven’t received in two weeks.

It was from Futaba.

「It finally got through! What have you been doing to not even give me a call for two weeks, oniichan!」

Forgive me but there was no signal except for the satellite phone on the deserted island.

It’s not that I forgot about you.

It’s true.

……I guess I’ll be in a long sermon when I get back.
