A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

King Leonardo's words made Reus spin his thoughts while remaining calm on the surface.

Take me to the nearby guards? I'm joking in this situation... (That's exactly what I'm saying.)

Becoming the guardian of King Leonardo would be an honor to think "normally.” Originally a serf and an adventurer, he is now a baroness. From there, if you become the King's closest escort, you will be treated as a synonym for your birth.

- Except for Reurus' mood.

(Kintetsu means you work near the King... in the royal castle, right? I don't know what you're thinking. Surrounded by court nobles?

Stomach-intestinal toughness is a confident revulsion, but I don't know what happens when I get stressed for a long time. In the first place, I have no intention of launching the development of Baron Amondola's territory.

(... is it okay to refuse this? Can't you stand the horns if I say no?

I'm not going to complain directly about rejecting it, but I don't even know if it's a good story to say no. It was a revulsion that thought for a few seconds what to do, but “backup” to such a revulsion flew from unexpected places.

"Your Majesty, should Lord Reurus stay close to the southern border... in Baron Amondola's territory?

Such remarks were made by Sofia, who, unlike usual, wore a dress she thought was dressed in. Why was Sofia so surprised? Leonardo leaned his neck without any particular blame.

"Hmm... it's Sofia. Is Reurus with the Spirit? As a" Spirit Teacher ", is it thankful that the Spirit is nearby?

"As a 'Spirit Teacher', that is true. However, depending on what I thought it would be like to“ pull out ”the mighty under Baron Amondola."

"Your Majesty, I asked you to come to my own territory, but you refused! Lord Reurus seems to have a hard will!

That said, Sofia smiled thinly and Marquis Sardari took a ride and cast a “no vote”. Leonardo listened to Sophia and the Marquis of Sardari and turned his gaze toward Natalia with his hand on his chin.

"That makes sense. I told the Baroness that you were foolish enough to“ take it up ”as the rest... Natalia, the development of the territory seems to be going well, but are you willing to let go of Reurus?

"No, sir."

Short, but unwavering, Natalia swears. When he heard that, Leonardo nodded one by one.

"It would be reasonable to think that it would lead to stability in the south... but unfortunately..."

Whether it's a genuine act or a genuine act, Leonardo stares at Reurus.

"Reurus, again, are you going to serve me?

"... I'm sorry, but I'd like to swing my sword under Baron Amendora."

With support from Sofia and Marquis Sardari, and Natalia responding, Reurus declines Leonardo's offer.

"I see... then, after Baron Amondola's reign stabilized, are you going to serve your son instead of the rest? If you're as good as they say, you could be a guard captain.

But as soon as I refused, the next suggestion came flying. Reurus shook his head to the side to suggest that he could serve “in the future” rather than now.

"... I'm sorry, but I don't want to say no to that either."

"Hmm... how about a swordsmanship guide that separates time periods?

"... my sword is classy, and I don't have enough skills to teach others. If you need a sword master... no, please choose someone else."

It was a Reurus who accidentally named Collard, but he told me to choose another one because he was really blamed for throwing him in as the next king's sword guide.

I was not confident to teach the sword, and if I succeeded in doing so, I could accidentally kill them during the training.

"I see... then I can't help it."

Leonardo sighs when he says it's a shame. But as soon as I came up with something, I changed my expression to something serious.

"So, is it possible for you to wave that power called the 'Monster Eater'?

"... you say?

Like you fought Bernard before, you want me to do a mock fight? That's why Leonardo's offer has been turned down three times, so we'll have to be honest about a mock fight.

Reurus thought so, but it was an unexpected word that came out of Leonardo's mouth.

"It seems that a powerful monster has settled in King's Landing recently. I want that crusade."

"A powerful monster?

"I don't even know the species. But when it comes to soldiers sent to scout, it's a big monster... probably a dragon."

"Are you a dragon...."

If you were told to crush Vanier, you would have refused with all your might, but if you were a dragon, it would be within your reach.

(I don't think it's easy to refuse because I declined the invitation just now... this time it's like asking for a job...)

Reurus wonders if it was a pretense to shake this job. It's just a “favor” from Leonardo, and it's not necessarily necessary to ask, but it's hard to refuse when the opponent becomes king. Because I have already refused it three times, I refused and the spiciness has increased.

"May I ask where the monster appeared? Is there a nest somewhere?

You can't say no unless you listen to me first. When Reurus asked, Leonardo slightly broke his mouth.

"Will you take it?

"... no, in the case of the dragon, it is possible that the soldier has already moved from where he saw it..."

A dragon may fly in the sky, so it makes no sense to ask where it is if it is not settled. It is rarer to stay in one place like a vanilla and still be known around.

How long has it been before this story was shaken? Depending on that, it could have been a feather to go east and west in search of the unaccompanied dragon.

(... no, wait. Is this a story that needs to be done here in the first place?

But Reurus had such a doubt.

It takes more time than talking about the Syrah, but if you ask me to kill the monster, I'm sure I'll be fine later.

It might be nice if only Reurus and Leonardo were here, but there are dozens of other nobles in attendance. Does it make sense to listen to the King's conversation with the “Strange Baron" if you know him?

(I mean, you should ask Bernard, not me....)

I don't know how powerful the other captains are, but there's Bernard in King's Landing, who leads the First Magic Team. Dragon - Even if it is an individual who has reached an advanced level, it should be able to be finished with plenty of room, even if it is not easy.

"The report came in about two weeks ago. The place will be about five days west of King's Landing."

"... like Lord Bernard, I think it would be better to ask for a regular king's army."

"Hmm... I would normally do that. As the" lord "says, it is likely that sending Bernards or troops to someone who may be on the move will end in vain. That's why I'm asking you to slay the monster eater."

I wonder if the way you call it broke a little, Leonardo, but not you.

"Oh, of course, but I'll give you a reward, and I'll probably have the money to buy everything you need before you go there. Why don't you take it?

(Even though you're a king, it's not an order... if they tell you to go more like this, you'll step on the contrary...)

Bernard and the First Magic Team will definitely take care of it, but it will be difficult to send the Reurus out to the monsters who may be on the move.

No matter how much the King's army has to pay, it consumes food and supplies needed for life. If you don't know where they've moved, you'll need to stay and look around.

It would still be good if the monster could be found as a result, but if we were to retreat without finding anything, it would be a waste of time, people and money.

Thinking about it, it seemed right to ask Reurus, who had defeated an advanced monster on his own - unless he was cut out in a place like this.

"Your martial name can be heard even in King's Landing, but it's not a fake name, is it?

It was a Reurus that worried me, but the noble man of the court raised his voice as to what he thought of such a Reurus.

"There's no way. The Catholic Church has named it" Spirit Man "and leads it to the Spirit Man. The martial names we hear are probably undervalued."

Other court nobility men beside him raise their voices to the court nobility man who spoke up. It was blaming the earlier remarks, and the man of the court nobility who spoke first shrugged his shoulders.

That's right. I've heard that I split up with that Bernard, and if it's an interpersonal match, I'm pretty sure the Monster Eater is better than the Monster Eater... no wonder I didn't realize I was scared. "

It is loud to call it a secret story. Reurus, who heard that, seriously worried whether he would let go if he said no because he realized he was scared.

"But you got a position with a martial arts name? I don't know if you can honestly give me a title if you can't prove it...."

"In that case, could the people in the territory have done something to increase the number of“ new associates ”... No, I don't think so..."

The court nobles speak each other, but Reurus walks through his thoughts silently.

(... are you being provoked? No, I can't be angry with a simple provocation like this... something else?

Immediately after King Leonardo declared himself not to complain to others, the court nobles exchanged words.

(You don't think I deserve to be a baron... or are you trying to take it away for a reason? That would be very welcome.....)

I don't think so, but Reurus turned to the man of the court nobility who spoke earlier.

"I mean... if you fail, you won't be able to do anything about the narrator this time.”

……

“That's the deal," Reurus wonders, and the royal man blinks like a pigeon ate a bean gun.

"... no, that's impossible until His Majesty the King is recognized..."

The court nobles squeeze out their voices without even saying what they're talking about. Looking at it, he leaked a voice that someone had erupted small, but Reurus couldn't afford to focus on it.

He used to say martial names, but even if he imitated losing them, he wouldn't be able to take up the position of a quasi-bar. Reurus thanked Leonardo again, regretting it.

"I'm sorry, but I need some time to think..."

"Well... let's put together separate information and get it delivered. I hope you'll take care of it.

That's why Leonardo laughed thinly.
