Between round tables with little decoration or conditioning, where a large round desk was just left in the center.

In the deepest part of the room, situated in the upper seat, is the figure of His Majesty the King, whose sides are cemented by Master Gray and his father, the Knights of Kingsguard.

From His Majesty's point of view, next to Lady Grey on the right, you can see Chancellor Libro, Elva Pharmacist, and next to Father on the left, you can see Lord Joyeh, Commander of the Knights and Chief of the Sorcery Division. It is in the form of a civilian responsible for finance, home affairs and diplomacy on the right side of the room, mainly His Majesty, and a military official sitting on the left.

There are about thirty people sitting at the round table, including His Majesty, but there are no seats for me or Jin. As with each vice secretary, he's holding back behind Master Gray on the round table.

But you don't have to mourn the lack of seats. Me and Jin are allowed to possess weapons, just like my father, the Knights Commander, and the Magic Division Commander. It is a testament of trust that can be seen by anyone who is allowed to bear arms just beside His Majesty the King or His Royal Highness the King.

The position we were given is much more special than the heavily replaced seats in the lower seats. There are now favors, interests, regulations, jealousy, intimidation and colorful gazes at me and Jin.

Incidentally, what is currently being debated is whether to accompany me or not, and the development feels like what Master Gray said.

"You look fine, but it was enough for Zeno to need a cure."

One of the civil servants sitting close to the lower seat tells in a gentle voice.

"Dear Left, you must be tired of Doyle."

Hear the words of a civilian and the man sitting next to you in tune. A similar statement can then be heard from the samurai's side of the seat. I could see that they had colluded before the meeting in that flowing development.

As expected, I turn my attention to Master Grey on the round table. Then I looked back at Master Gray at the same time as I had measured.

Though I had expected, childhood tampering, which causes some frustration to those who consume time in wasted arguments, stares at me and shakes my head small.

Now's not the time for us to talk, I guess. If I nodded with appreciation, Master Grey returned to his posture as if nothing had happened.

It's hard inside for young people like me and Jin to pass opinions on these conference venues. You shouldn't be too busy, and just being silent doesn't get the results you want. We need to read the entire conference flow and be careful not to buy the antipathy of the heavy town.

It is best left to you because it is Master Gray's specialty around there.

Take your gaze off Master Gray's backstretched straight and turn your consciousness to those who are arguing at the round table. I was just about to make a statement by the civil servants earlier.

"Master Doyle withheld her engagement to Princess Claire the day after tomorrow."

"I thought we should take care of this place."

"... Hmm"

To the two words, His Majesty seemed to be conceived.

Show me how His Majesty looks down and thinks, the men beat me proudly. At the same time, I felt my gaze pointed at me by some people.

Eyes peeking at my reactions, gazing at my worries, among them the gaze of those who intimidate me from the lower seats that 'this place is too early for you', but I will smile at such a guy with my eyes firmly aligned.

Such a reaction to me would be to look away at me unexpectedly with a slightly blued face, or dye my face red and turn an even harsher gaze.

The former would have trampled on the idea that it would not be identified even if it stared because it attracted everyone's attention so much. Those who have such sweet thoughts don't have to worry about it that way. Yeah, while I'm uncomfortable with those moves, it's the nature of being honestly wrapped up in something long.

On the contrary, those who reacted to the latter are cautious. Even if you know I'm gazing back, that means you're clearly willing to be hostile.

- Let's remember their faces.

Carve in your memory the faces and names of those who keep staring at me. And, of course, the ones who were speaking to His Majesty.

We don't know what it's like to be neglected, but don't let the Greys draw more than they expect. You have to be careful not to get your feet shrugged.

With that in mind, I return my gaze to His Majesty.

"What's going on with the Warcraft?

Prime Minister Libro responds immediately to His Majesty's inquiry back from thought.

"According to reports from the resident knights, the Warcraft are currently moving through the abyss forest. That number exceeded a thousand, and the herd wrapped around the warcraft living in the woods, and it is still increasing. If we keep going, we'll pass the village closest to the forest in the evening. We have ordered the Knights to evacuate the neighbors and stop the Warcraft, but we have received reports of support early because we do not have enough hands."

As the blurring spread over Prime Minister Libro's words, his father, who received His Majesty's gaze, turned his gaze to the Knights' captain and to Lord Joyeh.

"What's going on with the Knights and the Sorcery Division getting ready for battle?

"" Ha. "

As many gazes gathered, it was the Knights' captain who opened his mouth first.

"The Knights are being prepared by the First Division, but they won't make it in time for the evening when they make their way to the Abyss Forest"

"The Sorcery Division asks Master Celery to help us as you wish and is preparing a transfer team to send soldiers."

A small cheer comes to Lord Joyeh's words, such as sending soldiers in the transfer formation. But the look on Lord Joyeh's face at the time was not excellent.

I've heard a lot of magicians are needed to use the Transition Formation. I guess it's not convenient enough to appease.

Ask Lord Joyeh if the Knights Commander thought so too.

"Is it possible to use magic formations and send soldiers in turn?

"No, you're going to need a ton of magic to move the transfer formation. There are limited magic restoration pills, and the formation has been moved twice, considering we will fight later. Also, the limit is one hundred people at a time. We have already chosen a hundred from the Sorcery Division, so we would like you to also select a hundred from the Knights"

"... a hundred people"

In the words of Lord Joyeh, the Knights Commander gives a difficult look.

After receiving reports that there are two hundred people who can go to the Abyss Forest, there is once again a pressing air between the roundtables.

In the meantime, His Majesty's voice sounded.

"- ninety-five at a time. Let the other ten accompany the pharmacists from Elva's."

"I'm in awe"

The first person to answer His Majesty's words was Lady Elva. When he nods to Lord Elva, who thanked him with his hands on his chest as he sat down, His Majesty turns his attention to Lord Joyeh and to the Commander of the Knights.

"I will send ten pharmacists first, so the magicians and knights will send forty-five men at a time, and fifty men at a time. Okay?"

"" I'm in awe ""

When Lord Joyeh and the Commander of the Knights pay tribute to His Majesty's words, he summons a deputy who is holding back behind him. The deputies who had received their lives had fished for the documents they had taken or brought to them in order to blunt the role given to each of them.

His Majesty distracts himself from them like that and turns his consciousness to Chancellor Libro.

"Libro, who's hiring mercenaries on the ground?

"We're letting Alan's men, who can use transfer magic, have an advance and negotiate. I was wondering if it was time to hear from you."

At the word of Prime Minister Libro, His Majesty will be brought to the attention of his father, who is next door.

"Alan."

"I'm home."

In response to His Majesty's call, Father summons his opponent when he receives a comms machine from a deputy he had refrained from. The opponent of the communication is probably a subordinate headed for the Abyss Forest.

"Yes."

"It's Alan. What's going on with the tail?

Everyone listens to the voice that echoes from the green light transmitter.

"Ha, that's..."

- It's about time.

I think that to the bewildered voice of the knight I've heard. At the same time, His Royal Highness Gray turned around and told me to come to his side, so me and Jin approached the desk as ordered.

They took such Gray-like behavior as a consideration to be able to hear voices from the comms around them, and similarly called their deputies to the side of the round table.

"All we could do was run out mercenaries, and the mercenaries in the vicinity, middle-and-over, said to negotiate with the contractor first if they wanted to hire themselves because they were fulfilling their contract. We are looking for Lord Argo, who is currently tightening up in order to ask about the contractor '

To the report from the knight, His Majesty turns his expression into something harsh.

The changes of His Majesty are instantly transmitted to the whole room, with unpleasant silence. In the meantime, the first person to open his mouth was Master Gray.

"Doyle"

"Yes."

"You, I was wondering about Marnagarm before, so you said you'd hire the mercenaries to look into the abyss forest?

I just remembered, but in the words of Master Gray, who has spoken out like I said, my gaze gathers from within the round table.

Claiming to go to the Abyss Forest seems to mean that now is the time.

"I'm trying to get him to look into it."

The moment I answered that, I could hear Beki and something breaking.

If you look at the audio source, you'll see eye to eye with Chancellor Libro, who is pointing his very painful gaze this way. He noticed what Lady Grey and I were going to do, and the Chancellor seemed desperate to scold his voice absurdly.

"What did you hire?

"Some fifty or so mercenary units called 'Flame Snakes' and the mercenaries they met via the rulers there, the rest asked a mercenary named Argo to gather the right number."

When I answer that to Master Gray, my father groans as if he were surprised.

"Doyle, when did you get to know Lord Argo?

I laugh small at my father, who has spoken in the same tone as when he talks at home, like accidentally. While in public, it is precious to show how his father was surprised with vegetables.

Lord Joyeh, who loosens the edge of the Knights' regiment and mouth, who sees such an exchange between us with an indescribable expression, assistant Lutus and Elva, who forgive me if my head hurts or relieves my temples, and then give me a remorseful look.

Master Grey turns to His Majesty as we all react in varying ways.

"Your Majesty, would you allow Doyle to speak out as he crosses the line?

"Let's forgive."

"Doyle"

Master Gray urged me to tell him from my own mouth, and I approach the round table even further. And His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the King, who received the gaze of both names, I knelt.

"There are roughly one hundred and fifty mercenaries I hired. Some of you are going to show me evidence that I gave permission to change my contract, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to devote more time to securing the mercenaries."

"Now, the mercenaries must have the strength to fight. With less than two hundred troops, it's impossible to protect the people."

"I know. But securing mercenaries is a problem I solve by heading to the Abyss Forest. Also, I was wondering if I could be a fighter myself while overstepping. I know it would be more meaningful for the resident Knights and Kingsguards to focus on evacuating their neighbors, etc."

A beautifully similar pair of eyes look down at me with the notion that one is proud and the other has no choice. If you look back at that eye, His Majesty will look away and turn his attention to Master Gray.

"Gray, you can't leave the castle."

"I understand. I don't know what to say instead, but I need a gin with Doyle."

Jin, who sparkled her eyes at Lady Gray's words, kneels down next to me and bows her head.

"Regards!

"With Jin, we will necessarily work that way to meet your expectations"

If he bowed his head following Jin, His Majesty was zeroed a deep sigh.

"... fine. The mercenaries command Doyle, to your Lord. Try not to send warcraft out of the Abyss Forest until the surrounding residents have completed their evacuation."

"Yes, sir."

Tighten your loose mouth to His Majesty's words and bow your head deep again. Likewise at the same time, I heard a guttural stand from the entrance of the room.

"- Wait, Your Majesty!

"I've come to a conclusion"

His Majesty, who blocked the words of those who sought to speak differently, tells everyone that he would take his seat at ease.

"After a moment of departure, elect forty-four men each as the first line of both the Sorcery Division and the Knights. Accompany ten pharmacists with Doyle von Aginis and Jin von Schpietz. Time contends for a moment. Act quickly."

"" "Ha!

To His Majesty's words, Lord Elva, Lord Joyeh, and the Knights took their seats when they thanked His Majesty. After that, each deputy will follow.

His Majesty, who had dropped them off, still looked at those who sat at the round table in turn, then turned to the noblemen who had made a difference.

"- Young people's activity is dazzling. Whether in a hurry or not, that's just a worry. They don't even know what national politics is. They're the only ones who can't make a country. If you do your part and become a magician, I expect you to do your part. Don't let the neighboring countries think it's not enough to take Zeno, Celery's missing Magister, etc."

"I understand that."

"" "" "As Your Majesty's Heart" ""

The man breathes and drips his head at the gentle word. When those who remained in the room followed the man in prayer, they took their seats in a hurry. To fulfill my role.

"Father Boulder, brilliant."

Me and Jin also nodded at the words of Master Grey, who was shrugged and muttered.

His Majesty the Boulder is the arm that swallowed discontent and haste and drove them to work. For a long time, Dada has not been able to make us obey our strong grandfathers.

- Because there was this one, I guess the people of this country won't forget their respect for the royalty.

Once again, I pay my respects to His Majesty as he drops off the nobles who left early enough, staring at me and Jin.

(iv) Virgin to the brave men of Yingjie and Thunder Spears, a country where many heroes live, while the most honorable to the people of Majesta are the royal ones. That's the same for the nobles and us ahead.

"Let's go too."

"Yes!"

I have to protect the country where these people are, if I spoke to Jin with that feeling in my chest, I could hear a healthy reply.
