“I’m getting sleepy, big brother ……”
“Please be patient, we have to report this to the king, after all.”
“Come on, let’s hold hands.”
“Such is the world of man.”
As dawn broke, the major players who participated in the recapture of the town of Gust were walking along the main street to the castle. But since we can’t give an audience to Vertical and Eiiri, Tigre-sensei and Fath-san will be split up to wait at Retzel’s house, and Basleigh-sensei, Hawk-san, and Anna will be leading the group.
“In the end, it was only Basleigh and Hawk who fought the demons, huh. I’ll leave the report to Basleigh.”
“Yes, it was fortuitous that we managed to defeat them. I thought it was inevitable that they would escape …… I’m sorry, I’d like to speak to His Majesty, but is he having breakfast?”
“Basleigh-dono! And you’re all back too! I will speak to His Majesty in a moment. I’ll see you in the conference room.”
As soon as he was able to meet us, Flugel-san walked quickly to the back of the room, and we went to the conference room first.
“It’s always nerve-wracking when I come here ……”
“Rather than that, is your arm alright, Ryuuze? You don’t have to come all the way down here, you know.”
“Yeah, I can move my fingers, so it’s still attached. The pain is still there, though. It’s not every day I get an audience with the king, so let me accompany you!”
“Geez, think about me who to worry about too.”
“Ahaha, It’s a tough time for you too, Naru-chan.”
“I-Isn’t it fine, it’s our problem, after all ……”
When Kudelica laughed at their exchange, the atmosphere was softened as we joined in. Then Reiss opens her mouth and starts talking.
“Let’s say you follow my Lars-kun and we take care of Apollos, what will you do with Berias? Wouldn’t it be better to get rid of that king?”
“Get rid of him …… And Lars isn’t yours, is he, Reiss? But if he’s doing bad things at the instigation of Apollos, we don’t have to go that far, do we?”
“That’s naive of you, Makina-kun. Have you forgotten? You know that Berias was originally planning to invade Everlide. And if possible, they would plan to invade Orpha and Luitzar as well! …… Owww!?”
“Why do you look so happy?”
When Reiss raised her hands in an exaggerated manner, she was talking happily, and I slapped her on the head.
Then a voice called out from a different entrance than the one we had come in from.
“The girl is right, Berias must have taken some action. He is the kind of king who would wage war on other countries, we should take this opportunity to overthrow him, if not kill him.”
The voice was from the king, and he came into the conference room with Himmel-san, Flugel-san, Prince Orden, Prince Ryde, Lime, and Eagle-san.
We were standing, but the king asked us to sit down, and Retzel spoke up first.
“Yes, he is a small man, but if there is a sure way, he will force his way in. I’d like to overthrow him and have someone else take the throne, if possible. His son isn’t a very reputable person either.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, the prince has something to do with what Vertical said about the “the more women, the better”. I’ve been asked out myself too.”
Irumi answered my question with a disgusted look on her face, and from the expression on her face, I guessed that she really didn’t like it.
“Well, we’ll get to that later, but first we need to talk about the Gospel’s Descent ……”
“No, Your Majesty, it’s not that far in the future. Let’s start with a report–“
Basleigh-sensei gave a true report of what happened in the town of Gust, and Makina, Urka, Jack, and Ryuuze, and Basleigh-sensei who were all present at the scene of the battle with the demons that I didn’t see, had definitely defeated them.
However, the last thing I told him was that I would have a hard time with me infiltrating Berias with the ten chief priests.
“…… infiltrating the kingdom of Berias Kingdom alone, Lars is a valuable asset to our country. I’ve given my permission for Everlide, but I’d rather you didn’t go into the middle of the enemy lines ……”
“What? No, I’m an adventurer and I don’t mind going into dangerous places. It’s for the good of the country too, after all.”
When I said that, Prince Orden let out a loud sigh, laughed as if troubled, pointed at me, and said something like this.
“Lars. You should be more aware that your knowledge and abilities are already beyond the point of neglect. You should be a little more aware of that. If you die, our family will have to carry on the guilt for the next hundred years.”
“That’s such an exaggeration ……”
“No, Lars-kun, your hambu- …… cuisine should be passed on to future generations, so we will be troubled if you were to die. I’m sure there are many dishes I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Don’t worry, it’s the same as always ……”
Prince Orden said that it would be a shame if I were to leave, and Basleigh-sensei said that she hoped I would stay quiet, if that was possible. Basleigh-sensei continued.
“…… Nevertheless, it’s also true that this operation won’t work without you, Lars-kun. Your Majesty, even if it costs me my life, I will send Lars-kun back here. Otherwise, I’ll just shut up and go.”
“You’ve ruined everything ……”
“Give up, Urka.”
Seeing Basleigh-sensei’s serious expression, the King let out a sigh, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“Alright. But don’t overdo it, okay? Besides Lars, please make every effort to ensure that everyone who is going with you returns home safely.”
“Yes, sir. I want to return without missing anyone …… Well, I’m also hoping that we can use the transfer magic circles to get back here.”
“Oh right, that’s also possible. Father, isn’t it already certain that we’re going to win this war?”
“Maybe ……”
“So, that’s all I have to report for now, and I’ll talk to you again after we finalize the details of the plan.”
After the king nodded, Prince Ryde, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
“If you’re going to Everlide, I’d like you to take me with you, how about it? I can guide you around the castle town over there.”
“No, you can’t do that. Prince Ryde and Lime are known, so if you get caught together, Ryuuze and the others will be in danger. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait here. “
“Kuh…….”
“I guess you’re right, Prince …… we’ll have to leave this to them.”
Lime seemed to understand and put her hand on Prince Ryde’s shoulder and shook her head. I know it sounds cold, but if Prince Ryde dies or something, they’ll be in a lot more trouble than I am.
“How did your training go, Hawk?”
“I had a good response. But I felt I still had a lot of training to do. I need to be as good as Tigre-dono.”
“I, too, need a little more training so that when we’re attacked, we won’t be able to say we couldn’t win.”
I think Hawk and the others put up a good fight, but they seem to be pushing forward. In the midst of this conversation, we decided to leave to rest.
“Well then, we’ll excuse ourselves here. I hope to see you again as soon as we decide on the members of the mission.”
“Umu.”
We left the conference room and left the castle. The ten chief priests, Apollos, and the Berias Kingdom.
The problems piled up, but I had no choice but to do it, and I walked out with determination.
“Please be patient, we have to report this to the king, after all.”
