"So where did the Seeker go that he helped Cattleya and carried Julius this far?

"Ha! I'm having you waiting in the next room"

"Well, let's go say thank you first"

As soon as the king heard from the soldiers where we were, he headed to the next room.

A soldier opens the door to the room where we are, and a man about 40 years old comes in. It's a nice middle dressed in luxurious apparel with blue and black as the main clothes.

The king who sees us and approaches us. The princess also refrains from behind.

"You saved Cattleya. Not only that, but you seem to have helped me bring Julius' body home. Thank you so much. I know Katrea said it, but I'll pay you a thank you later, so why don't you wait in the castle for a while?

"Yeah, I don't mind. May I ask you one question?

"What?

The soldiers don't seem comfortable asking me questions. I suppose you don't think free explorer style is a good match to talk to. Well, I care about that. Not me then. Oh, I'm a king once, so it's a tribute. Well, just in case.

"Princess Cattleya told me that this happened because of the brave men sent by Eldia."

"Um, it's lamentable. You can't call a man brave enough to abandon his people and run away."

It's true, right? You think a brave man is a name that should be called as a result of what he's done, and that summoning him as a brave man is a big contradiction in itself.

"So can you tell us how you will treat brave men in the future?

"You, Explorer, are you willing to talk about politics!

Soldier, no, I think it's a knight because his gear is luxurious. One of the knights barks at me.

"Good."

"But..."

"I say it's good."

"Ha..."

For now, the king put it away for me. Whoa, the knight's staring at us.

"The treatment of brave men? First of all, you take down the declaration of a brave supporter country. Eldia called it" Defense against Threats, including Demons, "but she sent someone to abandon her people and flee. I can't believe it."

You've done damage to the royal family, so brave men are more of a threat.

"And the brave man is an out-of-country exile. If I could, I'd kill you for it, but if I did, I'd have a complete crack in my relationship with Eldia."

At that stage of speaking, a soldier came into the room.

"I called the brave man in the blind eye. Hurry up, King."

"Oh, okay. I'm on my way. Let's give thanks after banishing the brave. Wait here till then."

That's what the king tries to exit. The princess seems to be thinking of something and will not try to follow after the king.

"Katrea? Let's go?

"Yes! Wouldn't you like to see the brave banished together?

The princess suddenly said that. Stop the hand you were trying to hurt Mr. Tamo.

"Cattleya, what do you suddenly say? Not really. It's like showing someone else."

"No, Father, this is like showing. It's like a spectacle that a brave man who looked great would be banished from the country, isn't it?

"No, but..."

"And me, I still can't stop being angry. My brother, the knights, of course, but I'm terrible enough."

"Speaking of which, I've been wearing my robe..."

That's it, Katrea took off her robe. It was the girl in the mood who said she was full of creativity. I guess I haven't changed since I got back to the royal castle. Worn armor and burns all over the body stand out. Blue hair is also burnt and shrunk. My right arm is crushed, and I'm drooling.

"What a thing to say..."

"My whole body was covered in burns and my right arm was crushed. I can't move at all right now."

"Ooh, ooh..."

The king seemed speechless.

"I was trying not to think about my current situation as much as I could. But I couldn't. Not only your brother, but my future is also dark. You can never forgive a brave man. I want to make it a spectacle and push it as far as I can to clear up some of my depression."

I thought it was a lot cooler, but it just seemed to be patient. If you can't kill me, you want to at least have a slightly worse eye.

"... ok. If Cattleya says so much, I'll allow it. Follow me."

It felt like we were going to cross the border and we were going to be seen where the brave men would be banished. But Sakura doesn't seem to want to see the brave in person. I look familiar, too, and I'm not going to bother to come forward.

"Excuse me. Can we two wait here?

"Well, not impossible."

"Too bad."

A princess who says sorry. Do you want to show so much 'Brave Za 'a'?

"Well, everyone else will have to see the brave ones"

"Okay."

"Okay, I get it."

Leave it to me.

Yes.

I dropped off the girls who replied thoughtfully, and only me and Sakura remained in this room. Then after a while......

A: The kings and the brave have aligned themselves between the sights.

Then please.

A: Okay. Close your eyes, please.

Close your eyes as you were told. At that moment, my vision spreads around me differently from what I'm crushing. I have a slightly higher eye, so it would be Serra.

"I'm Mio."

"I'm Selah."

Alta who goes out of his way to make it a different perspective. Fine art.

A king sits on the throne, beside him a princess in a hood. The brave man stands before him. By the way, my people who said Serra or Mio are lined up on the right from the king.

You can see the face of a brave man, but it's still the bottom of the day I know. Around it there are Eldia soldiers. You wouldn't just let me go alone as a messenger to another country, would you?

"Brave man. You know why they called me here?

"Yeah, it's about the promised support, isn't it? Instead of providing funding, human resources, and supplies, the promise is that the brave will protect the Kingdom of Estea from threats, including demonic ones."

"Don't get involved in that, too. But there's something I need to ask you before that. It's about the labyrinth."

"Oh......"

The lower part of the day when I heard that looked momentary but troublesome.

"The brave can't be. You said the Volcano Golem appeared and princes and princesses scattered their lives to protect the brave"

"Yeah, I fought with him, but both the prince and princess died sheltering me. I stabbed the Volcano Golem with that gap. Thanks to them, I can still live."

"Right..."

The king is probably shuddering with anger and pull. Wow, I've often been lined up with perplexes and lies.

"Then what does this mean!

When I say that, the princess who was lying down comes forward and removes her hood. A princess full of burns showed up.

"Become!"

Naturally there is only one person in the lower part of the sun who is surprised to see it. The soldiers in the back are confused.

"To, it's a fake! The princess was indeed killed by the Volcano Golem! Somebody turn it into something! Yes, I'm sure the demons are turning!

Yeah, actually, there's a demon clan that applies. Coincidences are scary. But I killed him.

"Katrea was apparently saved by a seeker who happened to take a pass where he was about to be killed by the Volcano Golem. Cattleya says the brave man ran into the Volcano Golem and found out the attack didn't make it through. No or cut Julius off and ran away with Julius and Cattleya."

"Don't lend an ear to something fake!

"Brave men say the bodies of princes and princesses have been burned down by the Volcano Golem, and there's nothing left at all. But the Seeker brought back all the bodies of the princes and knights. Some of them were badly damaged, but the level of personal discernment was high. And Julius' body had marks cut with a sword!

"It's fake too! Don't be fooled, my king!

You're out of variation from the line at the bottom of the sun.

"I'm a brave man, no, you just seem to be lying! Therefore, brave support will be withdrawn, and you will not be deported from the country! Never come into this country again!

When the king said that much, his expression fell out of the face at the bottom of the sun.

"I'm kidding... I thought I could come around the corner and do whatever I wanted, but this is where I get interrupted..."

"Quickly, get that man out!

The king commands the soldiers under his command. Soldiers on Eldia's side are also baffled, but get out in front of the soldiers in an attempt to protect the brave. But it was at the bottom of that day that someone moved before they went into clear action.

"I'm kidding!

Saying so, the lower part of the day activated the < Acceleration (Acceleration) > of Blessings (Gifts).

Acceleration

I can accelerate consciousness and flesh. One second of a regular person becomes three seconds of the user. The usage limit is 5 seconds. Physically, 15 seconds. Cool time is 10 seconds.

Simply put, it's the ability to be in slow motion other than yourself. I guess the Volcano Golem didn't get through the offense because it doesn't dramatically increase its attack power. Besides, that sounds convenient to get away with.

The accelerated lower part of the sun ran out towards the king. I took the sword out of the item box I had along the way and stabbed through the king's belly.... take it away in advance.

"Gu Hu!"

"Ha! It's a punishment for getting in my way. Die!"

A king who bleeds and falls. The lower part of the sun accelerated through the soldier's gap and out of sight.

Together with a sudden assault. Soon the noise grew louder. Eldia's soldiers were captured, and the knights pursued the lower part of the sun.

"Father! Now comes the healing magician! Don't let go of consciousness until then!

The princess is encouraging the king. There seemed to be no users of restorative magic on this occasion, and soldiers are rushing to call them, but they will certainly not make it as they are.

Mio, give the king the magic of recovery.

Uh-huh.

Leave the king's recovery to Mio, who was nearest.

"Oh, what about you?

"Me, because I can use restorative magic!

"Oh yeah! Father, please!

"Leave it to me!" High Heels "!

"High Heels" restores the King's HP. Honestly, you feel helpful because the sun is weak. I've stabbed him so grandly, he hasn't cut off his HP.

"You're all right now!

"Ugh..."

Now the king seems to be okay. Well, I wonder what happened to the brave man in question.

I left Mr. Tamo alone as a chaser when the brave escaped. He simulated Tamo into the Eagle Demon (Hawkeye) and used his skills to chase him.

I don't know how fast I can move, but I have time limits and cool times. Even if it's hard to catch them, it's not that hard to chase them out of the sky. Of course, if it's on the map, I can capture it alone, but it's for when they go to another area.

The brave man apparently took the inn. Am I stupid? Shouldn't we be out of the capital while we haven't heard from him yet?

Oh, that was stupid. Otherwise, you wouldn't stab a king pointlessly. Because it's the same thing that makes me unable to stay in this country.

"I thought if a brave man was banished, his drinks would go down, but you've moved on in some weird direction"

"Right. If you stab the king in the short circuit, you won't be able to stay in this country, and you don't see that you could even be ordinarily arranged as a criminal."

"You didn't understand. That kind of thing."

"So is that. Don't worry about Eldia's response later. I don't think you can undo the barbarity of a royal opponent in public..."

"Honestly, you don't seem to be busy, do you?"

"That's for sure."

But how could such an idiot have been a messenger? I hate about the guys who were basically in the same school, but some of them would be somewhat decent. I don't understand why you bothered to make such a messenger.

There was also movement between the sights. He said the king had lost his life but was losing strength and would rest while he was being treated in his room. He left after giving a single instruction.

My people are being taken to the guest room. Looks like the princess asked me to stay in the castle today. Soldiers are coming to contact us now, too.

A few moments later, soldiers arrived and we were guided to the guest room. I was told that I would have a private room, but I didn't need it in particular so I had them all in the same room. The maid lightened the room description, but finally said, 'Because it's a royal castle. Please refrain from being disheartening'. Why is that?

A: (While there are many women, the same room with one man. If most of them become slaves, it is natural to be misunderstood...

"No, I didn't think the king would get stabbed."

Says Mio, who sat in a luxurious bed in a royal castle room. Dora is already on vacation.

"Right. If it weren't for me (me), His Majesty the King would be dead too. What the hell was the brave man going to do?

"I don't think he thought about it."

"You can't believe he's a brave man."

Serra was right, the king was really about to die. Everyone's valor ratings have dropped. Well, you're listening to us, so it's low originally. It's the guy who calls it a bottom line update.

"I also wonder if Cynthia looks like a brave man..."

I don't even know what Kate has to say. Yeah, it feels subtle when Maria asks if she's a brave guy too...

So, what are we going to do now?

"Right. He's the one who said he boarded the boat. To a certain extent, I am thinking of leaving it to my accomplishments. There will be something to talk about from the king or princess in the morning, and even without it we will rendezvous with the Marias at noon.... Right. Ask about Maria and the others."

Turn your reading to Maria.

Maria, what happened to you?

"Ah, Master Jen. Just fine. I was just about to report it to you."

I passed this information on to Maria. She also has something to say from Maria.

"First of all, Lady Ellincia has gone to the capital. Soon after the report, it appeared to have been done using a phase metastasis stone."

Elysia, you're a light footworker.

There are also disadvantages to going to another city with phase transfer stones, and simply put, 'give up the offense'. No matter how many layers you go, you use a phase transition stone in one layer to get to the other entrance, so the next layer starts. It's an effective method for moving around normally, but it's not easy for explorers to use. Well, I don't know how much Elysia works as an explorer.

And it looks like they're forming a unit to kill the brave ones.

Scared.

To Eryncia, the sun already seems to be the subject to be killed. No, it's not unlikely that the royal response will lean on that side either...

But at the stage Maria talked to him, to the point where she did harm to the prince and princess. The king was stuck in exile, too. I guess that means Elysia is not going to stay on foot.

Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, I don't care if I die in the sun or not. For me, most of my brave summoned alumni have already become irrelevant beings. There's no reason to hate him as much as you want to kill him, or to be forgiven for doing something. If Elysia, the king, or the princess want to kill the sun's bottom, they can help depending on the reward.

Did Elysia say anything else?

"Big deal...... He said he wanted to thank you again."

"I'm still going to get a reward from the king..."

He said it was different.

"If you know what Elysia is..."

I finished contacting Maria and decided to go to bed already that day. Soon Mio and Kate will be asleep. It's been a long time since I tried to finish my quest.

The next day, the soldiers of the castle call us to go between the waiting sight of the king and the princess. Talking about soldiers, they say the king's capacity has fully recovered. Anything tells the story of a restorative wizard working in a castle who kept doing 'heels' and other restorative magic without sleeping. All I can say is good luck. If you'd told me, I would have sold you a secret medicine with a middle-mark.

And it came to pass between the sights, that a king was on the throne, and a princess sat beside him. Next to it sits a boy about 12 years old. I checked your status, you look like a prince. Afterwards, Elysia is normally in the room. I don't have the time and I haven't said hello or anything...

When we went forward, the king said he didn't have to kneel himself. Many of the knights and heavy towns around them look unpleasant, but even the tables can't seem to complain. I guess it's because of the great feat.

"First, thank you for your prompt response yesterday"

"No, I did what I deserved."

For once, I answered. As a position, Mio is my slave. Slave feat is basically fine with my husband taking it all together (said Alta and Kate). Even now, I wondered whether it would be appropriate to make him speak between the eyes in the position of a slave. Because Mio and the others say they're slaves.

"You owe me a great deal, including the princess thing. I want you to rest assured that I will always give you a reward later."

"Yes, thank you"

"Uhm."

The king nodded loudly there and started talking again.

"I called you guys for three reasons, including the prize thing. First of all, it's about the brave ones."

Naturally, that should have been expected.

"In yesterday's case, Washi decided to arrange for the nomination of a brave man. And it's a pretty strong protest to Eldia, including this one."

"If a brave man stabbed the king, I take it for granted."

"Mm-hmm. It's like saying you're looking down on our country just because you make someone like that a messenger."

Exactly. You don't have any. There will be as many more fit guys as there are.

"And I'd like to ask you to tie up the brave men or crusade them."

"Crusade, is it?

Have you suddenly come to crusade? In a way, it's as expected.

"Yesterday, when the knights searched the city after the eagle was stabbed, apparently the brave men went into the labyrinth"

When I woke up this morning, I was surprised that Mr. Tamo was in the labyrinth. Looks like the brave guy is in an 18-layer safety zone right now.

"Precisely, you're right that a brave man who saw the knights searching has escaped into the labyrinth. Looks like we used phase transition stones as soon as we got in, so we'll be near 19 layers now"

"Oh, you mean close to the recording point of our phase transition stone."

"Exactly. Among those in this country now, there are others, not to mention those who know the face of the brave man, who are strong enough to capture the brave man, and who know the circumstances, at a party that operates near 19 levels. I can't say until I find it, so I just need you to search near 19 levels for a week or so."

If you did have all the conditions up to this point, you'd naturally want to ask for them.

"I want the captivity of the brave, if possible, and the crusade, if not possible. And of course, if you crusade, remember to bring back the body."

"But we are seekers. How many sinners, isn't it going to be a problem to kill brave men?

To be honest, I'm just trying to say this. Eldia, it's nothing. I'm not even scared, and at best, I have just the feeling that 'you're going to have more interrupters to travel'. That said, it becomes a confirmation that the king thinks properly about the area.

"... Indeed, from Eldia, by saying he is the enemy of the brave, he may be pursued. Of course, I'm going to hide it on this one when it comes to identity, and other than that, I'm going to accompany Cattleya as a precaution."

"Do you have Her Royal Highness Princess Cattleya?

Well, I'm pretty sure the princess's restart position is also on the 19th floor. Obviously, it's all in your legs, isn't it?

"Um, I just wanted you guys to help Katrea and decide that it was Katrea who crusaded the brave men directly. Of course, whatever the facts."

"Do you mean to put Her Royal Highness Princess Cattleya on the arrow? It's dangerous, isn't it? Besides, do you mind if I leave Her Royal Highness Princess Cattleya with someone who may not be the bone of any horse?

"Um, in all respects, Cattleya acknowledges. I mean, Katrea said she wanted to go from herself, so I made it such a muscle. Of course, I've never been over it if I had to tie him up..."

"As much as I really want to stab the stomach if I can. If you get a chance, you'll be sure to stab him in the stomach."

Katrea says with anger in her eyes.

"I say harsh things, but if I captivate you, it will help if Katrea keeps an eye on you not to stab me in the stomach. Protect Cattleya later."

The king has been unscrupulous. Take Cattleya, protect her, capture or kill the brave, and protect Cattleya from stabbing her in the stomach if she does. Normally you can't, can you?

"It also involves a second story, but naturally, let's have the corresponding rewards. What do you say? Will you take it?

Well, what's the matter? Even if I told you I wouldn't take it, it wouldn't be a bad thing. That said, he's the one who says he boarded the boat. I guess I just figured if you asked me to take it last night, too.

"Okay. Take that request."

"Oh, will you take it? That helps. But the boulder eagle has never asked me to tell him to defeat the brave, so I want him to talk about the reward."

Normally, I think if I were to make that request, I would be a Demon.

"Yes."

"The second story is about a different prize than the Brave Crusade. In addition to saving Washi and two others, I heard he also did an active job in the recent quarantine labyrinth and the demonic release of the Qastar border. You don't seem to have received a reward for the Quarantine Labyrinth, and let's just say I give it to you on this occasion."

"Oh, it's about that, can you put together a reward and make it more luxurious or something?

"What do you mean?

"" Recovery of His Majesty the King, "" Rescue of His Royal Highness the Princess, "" Report of the Quarantine Labyrinth, "which has already been established to be available. We want you to put these rewards together in one luxurious reward."

"I don't mind that, but what if it's a comparable reward? How much is reasonable when it comes to paying with money..."

King to think about. But what I want is not money. I'm in a position to negotiate corners. I want three rewards for negotiating cards.

"What I want is not money."

"So what? You want to be noble, too?

"We don't even need status. There's only one thing I want. It's a used Grand Demon Crystal."

The Great Demon Crystal is a giant demonic stone that is rarely discovered in the labyrinth. It's a substitute for being able to move magic tools (magic items) around this castle for 30 years. And by used, I mean exhausted all the magic (MP) stored inside.

Normal demon stones collapse when they run out of magic (MP). But 'The Great Demon Crystal' doesn't collapse when it runs out of magic (MP). And by adding magic (MP) from the outside, it becomes available for use again. However, this filling is very inefficient and the current situation is that magicians in the castle can't fill as much as 1% after doing their best for a year of magic. There is no doubt that it is a rare item, and whichever breakthrough in technology occurs, it may be useful, but the "Great Demon Crystal" used at present has no way of using it and cannot be considered a valuable item.

"Used...... What are you gonna do with that?

Of course it is decided to refill it and use it. There are various signs that you can save your magic power (MP).

"It doesn't mean I use it for anything in particular. The Kingdom is buying up the" Great Demon Crystal "as it stands, so even if it is used, it won't be on the market. It's a corner opportunity, so I want something that I don't normally want to get."

I've been trying to tell you, and I realize this is why you look like me. The signs that I'm about to tell you are coming through a twinge.

"Sure, it would be worth a lot if you judged it well outside, and you'd get a sense of superiority because few others would have it. Speaking of rarity, if used, 7 are currently held by the Kingdom, so it doesn't mean they can't be given way....... okay. I give you one of the Great Demon Crystals in our possession."

"Thank you"

The king instructed the soldiers to fetch the 'Great Demon Crystal' from the warehouse. The 'Great Demon Crystal' removed from the item box is about 1m in size and very heavy. I couldn't seem to carry it without an item box. The colors are transparent, by the way. According to the story, when magic is filled, it glows in rainbow color?

The King told me to give way directly, and when I put the 'Great Demon Crystal' placed on the floor in my item box, I got applause from around me. For once, it's probably because it's a place to give rewards. Normally, the king will hand it to you, but you can't help it because it's too heavy to hold.

There was a paragraph about the prize (we'll talk about the reward for the brave crusade again later) and the king cut out the final story.
