Black Haired King

34 Stories Towards the King's Capital

"Arestina ~. Are you ready?"

When I call while knocking on Ares' room, I hear a rattle from inside and the door opens with momentum. And...

"Don't, why are you calling me by my real name! What do you think you're hiding it for?

Ares came out angry. Though I think it's okay to find out it's a girl.

"Are you ready for that? It's time to leave, isn't it?

"That's... well, no. Yeah. I'm ready. I need to get the medicine to your mother quickly."

Ares nods with a determined eye. It's been a week since Ares woke up today. This past week I spent putting Ares' body back on track.

Ares fell asleep for almost a week because Cocatrice hit him, too. My body must have been dull. You feel a little dull when you cure your broken arm with a potion. I know because I've been through it a few times too.

"Good. Then say hello to Mel."

"Yeah. Let's go!

After discussing this for the past week, we were supposed to throw a party like this and go as far as Wang Du. I was originally willing to go, but in Ares he thought I'd go hunting, and when I told him about it, he cried and rejoiced. Of course, I hugged him with extreme emotion. Helpful.

I've bought everything I need in the past week at Mr. Kamal's branch and I'm ready for the trip. All you have to do is catch a carriage and go to the King's Capital.

The carriage also had a carriage for Mr. Kaimar's Chamber of Commerce to go to Wang Capital, so he was allowed to ride with it. Instead of Mr. Kamal bringing me meals on the road, I was asked to escort the carriage.

Apparently, Ares' mother's illness is scheduled for about two months. Considering it's going to take a month from now, it'll be just about right.

"Are you guys going now?

When we get down to the ground floor, Mr. Mel asks. You've taken care of this guy a lot.

"Yes. Thank you for your help"

"Thank you, Mel"

Me and Ares bow their heads. Then.

"Hehe, it's good. Because this is what I do. Mr. Redius, I need your attention."

"Attention?

"Yeah. Not many people stand out and criticize brunettes for a city ruled by these lords or anything. But be careful, when this becomes a village unit, some villages react hypersensitively. Because if it's a terrible place, you can't even let me into the village."

That's what Mel says. He gives me a sad look. Mel worries me about something. It's like you're going to fit someone in with me. But I don't care because I'm helping a lot, too.

"Okay. I'll be careful."

At the end of the day I bow my head deeply and leave the wind chime pavilion. Mr. Mel was waving at me to the end.

"That was a good inn!

"Oh. I'm glad Ares introduced me"

"Eh heh. Really?"

When I say that, Ares cheeks happily. Before I found out who Ares was, I was crisp not to find out, but since I found out, I feel like there's been some more girly tricks. It's good because it's cute.

"Speaking of which, what can Redius do for the King's Capital? Just sightseeing or something?

"Is that it? Didn't I tell you?

Asked, Ares shook her neck to the side. I thought you said something in me.

"Right. My purpose in the king's capital is to join the war."

"... a war is a war with a neighboring kingdom of Britalis?

"Oh. I was going to go there because I heard you were recruiting in the King's Capital. Did Ares know?

"Absolutely. My father will join us. [M] My house, ah, speaking of which, you didn't name my family. My house is called the Osteens. The Osteens are Takemen's houses. Your father has a position in the army."

"Heh. That's amazing. Ares won't be in the war, will he?

"Me? Yeah, I won't. Because people can't participate in basic pre-adult activities."

"... Huh?

I stopped for nothing. I don't think I can do that before I grow up.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, noble children. When you're a civilian, when your child or father goes to military service, it's not that tough because it reduces tax revenues in between. Still, I don't take kids that I can't fight with. Redius will be fine."

Huh. Good. If I had gone, it wouldn't even be a joke.

"Hehe, you're in a bit of a hurry, aren't you?

You're gonna look at me with a bad grin, Ares. You're nagging me from this guy. If that's what you're going to do, it's this way.

"Absolutely, the jokes are tough, Arestina. This old girl."

So I decoped him. Ares is fuzzy! and hold on to your forehead with a weird voice. And with tear-eyed uplift.

"Hey, hey! Don't call me by my real name even though I'm looking around! You're gonna find out!

"If that's what you think, why don't you look at it in a bit more man tone. You sound like a girl after I find out you're getting your tone back to vegan?

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~!

I'll point it out to you. Ares holds her mouth with both hands and turns her face bright red. Were you unconscious?

... I also feel like I've done a little too much, but it's Ares who decides if I'm going to keep going as a man or as a woman. That's not what I'm saying anyway.

If you grow up ahead, isn't it tougher to live as a man if you go into school than that? Well, is it up to Baron Osteen to decide? Me neither.

"Better a girl than a man, though."

"What?"

When I was thinking, all of a sudden Ares spoke up. What the fuck?

"What's up, Ares?

"Yes, no, it's nothing... only in front of Redius because Redius already found out... but what shall I say to your father..."

Now I started saying bumps by myself. What's really going on? He said he was walking around watching Ares say bumps on his own like that.

"Whoa, I've been waiting for you, Lord Redius!

Mr. Kamal was waiting in front of the store. Ms. Marna is instructing her employees to get in the carriage.

"Thank you for letting me ride the carriage this time. This is Ares, who needs a cure for stone dermatosis before and is throwing a party together."

"Ah, nice to meet you, I'm Ares. Thank you for introducing Kaimal to a pharmacist who can make a cure!

"No. I don't mind. Lord Redius is a benefactor of life. It won't be as bitter as it is to introduce you. I hope your mother is better than that."

To Mr. Kamal's words, Ares bows her head as she moisturizes her eyes. Don't make me feel so grateful.

"Then these are the two people going to Wang Du for this delivery. The man is more Lyle. The woman is my sister Rhine, two siblings and twins. Age is 3 years above Lord Redius. Come on, Lyle, Rhine, say hi."

"Yes. My name is Lyle. Nice to meet you, Mr. Redius, Mr. Ares."

"My name is Reine. Greetings."

Two people who come out a step forward and say hello in Mr. Kamal's introduction, both beautiful blonde boys, beautiful girls, and if you named them Lyle, they are short haired, sauce-eyed nickel-eyed boys.

If you named me Rhine, I have blonde hair up and I see a white noodle. Unlike my brother Lyle's sauce-eye, she's a girl with a tight, crisp vibe. My chest is pungent.

I heard you were twins, but your eyes don't look much alike except for the same blue-eyed and blonde hair.

"Nice to meet you, I say Redius. Nice to meet you, Mr. Lyle, Mr. Rhine."

"It's Ares. Best wishes!

"Ha, my thing is good with Lyle. I don't even want to salute you, Mr. Redius."

"Okay. Then call me off, Lyle."

"Oh, Redius"

Kind of a friendly atmosphere.... maybe you can be my first man friend... He said he was excited that way.

"Let's just get going, brother. Come on, you guys, get in. After that, you don't have to call me back."

and Rhine hurries. Lyle laughs bitterly and talks to Mr. Kamal at the end. Then it seemed that Mr. Marna had finished packing and it was finally time to leave.

"Lord Redius, then. I'll see you again."

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Kamal, for your help!

Lyle moves the carriage in your podium. Aim is Wang Du. Looking forward to seeing what happens.

"That dark-haired kid's got Cocatrice's petrified poison pills, huh?

I hear that from the man sitting in front of me, Ahon. Speaking of Cocatrice, it's a B-rank Warcraft. Did that brunette hunt for such a warcraft?

"Heh. Looks like Ares' bastard was with him. They're leaving this city today."

"Right. Then why don't we just have about 20 of you surrounded?

Cocatrice's petrified poison pills sell for a good price. Those brunette lads don't have a body.

"Heh. That's what I thought. I just got people together. I have to pay Ares back for that kid."

"Well, then, as usual, I'll close my eyes and share."

"Hey, of course!

"I'm afraid I won't let that happen."

When me and Ahon were talking about the usual, I heard a bell-like voice coming from the entrance. Me and my asshole had weapons on our side, and I looked at the entrance, and there they were.

"I'm Mistrine Einnell, head of the Silver Wings Knights. Adventurer Guild Questria Branch Guildmaster Bean. You're the asshole from C-rank adventurer Eagle Claw. I will detain you. Do it."

"Ha!"

Silver Wings Knights. One of the Knights of the Kingdom, Knights organized exclusively by women. But all the women are knights consolidated in the stronger than ordinary male soldiers, and now in front of them is the strongest of them all. Damn, someone's fallen apart in the kingdom!

"Fuck, fuck! I'll pay you back!

The moment Ahon tried to shake up his axe.

"Wind Cut"

Mistrine waved her sword...... looks like it. It was too early for me to see. And Ahon's right arm was cut off from his shoulder.

"Guh!"

"Take him down and take him."

"Ha!"

I was seized by the knights who came into my room and magically lost my mind.

◇ ◇ ◇

"What other adventurers were involved?

"Guys, we've got you tied up. But that's the captain, isn't it? The sword just now only looked slight. After all, the Whirlwind King is amazing."

"It's enough if you can see it even slightly. Then I'm ready for you here. Let's go back to Wang Du."
