Civilization Game

Lord is convinced. Perhaps she's really free to play.

"But it's Yura."

"I'm Cielo."

"Oh, right. By the way, you. The Wargate. Can I use an outsider, not just witches?"

She shakes her empty basket of sweets.

"If you want to know, I need more refills. And coffee."

"…… This isn't a cafe, it's my office!"

In the end, Lord called Maid and asked her to bring more coffee and cookies. Chielo just opened his mouth.

"Nothing's impossible being an outsider. It is Kelvin's ultimate goal to open the Warp Gate and drop large monsters on the enemy capital. I can be a monster, but you don't think it's human?"

"What is that? I'm scared. Let's be friends."

"Then why did you ask me that?"

Rod taps his forehead with his fingers as he groans. Do we have to talk about this or not?

"Actually, my spy network has information about talent."

Rod finally opened his mouth.

"I've been looking for intelligent heroes. The military position was always open."

"Gosh, now that the game is halfway through, do you still have no military?"

"That's how it happened."

At that time, Maid opened the door of the office and served the sweets and coffee. Chielo takes the coffee and says, "Thank you. 'and greeted them cheerfully. Maid takes a quick peek at Chiello and drives off with the serving cart silently.

"You're familiar with it? I thought you'd be surprised at how you dress."

She rubs her big witch hat.

"You thought I was a cosplay girl from the black market. Our Abyss has a wide range of tastes."

"…… ugh."

She took a sip of coffee and looked down at Lord with contempt.

"There are always players who are busy solving their own cravings at an important place to decide who to host and who to tune in to. Sex party, harem building? Hah, everything on Earth has become a king."

"... I don't know why you ask me to listen to that."

"Why, are you stabbed?"

"Tsk, stabbed! I'm not ashamed to look up at the sky!"

"Wow? As expected, Loricom has a small conscience."

My heavenly two-year-old brother says, "Look at that unsportsmanlike creature!" Lord returns the conversation.

"Anyway, I'm in desperate need of a wise hero. I felt the need for soldiers in many ways, even in the last war."

"Oh, I know that! I heard you and Arc had a fight."

"Then! I'm not impressed at all...."

"They say he was looted."

"Who!"

Lord exclaims.

"Arc. In the chat window."

"…… that bastard!"

Lord slams down his desk as if it were unfair. You've been neglectful in the chat room for a while and now you're screwing around like this! I can imagine Arc sticking out his tongue with a raised expression. Lord continues the conversation, cooling off his anger.

"By the way, according to the spies, the talents are rumored to be in the territory of Alvehem. Looks like he's not royalty material yet. I want to grab it before it's too late...."

"So you're going to take the Warp Gate and sneak into contact with the talent?"

"Exactly."

Chielo says, "Hmph. 'I twisted my legs in reverse. It was a girl's body, but there was a strange color.

"Isn't it a little dangerous? Maybe you should just send in some spies for your brother."

"I've done it before, but it's not easy."

He smiles bitterly, reminiscing about Lord's outcry. The no-ho girl runs around with a weapon to catch a spy.

"To be honest, I'm the king. Given the position of the party receiving the offer to recruit, I think it will be a burden to go to Abyss, no matter how good the conditions."

"I think so, right? because it feels like a criminal state that brings bad people together."

"That's why I, the monarch, want to go myself. Could it be more authentic, more eager, more heart-warming?"

Lord said so and moved for a moment about himself. Where else would a hard-working king be? Bea! Your father's been working so hard to feed you.

"I don't mean to be absurd, but is it worth it?"

"That's it. I could run into a firepit to get talent."

Lord insisted. Chielo put a finger on her cheek and said, "Hmm? 'I took a gesture to think of something.

"Excellent. You can lend me your Warp Gate, but there are some restrictions."

"Limit? Tell me."

"We've just entered the pioneering era, so we're running out of Warp Gates right now. There are only two people who can get through the Warp Gate at a time."

"Two is enough. I'm not going to make a big fuss in someone else's country, but I'm going to go there for a while and I'm going to be satisfied with talent and come back."

I didn't think there was any problem. Take Beatrice to the escort and she'll be safe.

"And one more thing!"

"What?"

"Chielo will accompany Rod!"

She holds the letter to her side and winces adorably.

"……."

I looked at her with a look of lost words.

"Do you want to do that when you're old?"

"It's only been twenty-two! She's so cute! Please don't be picky about your old school stuff!"

"No, that's not the problem! Why are you suddenly following me?"

"I don't know when something will happen in another country. It's safer for me to follow myself to open the Warp Gate to return."

"... If that's the case, you can give me another witch hero."

That stopped Chielo. Then, suddenly, he curled up like a rainy cat, blinking his troubled gaze.

"Can't I? Can't Chielo do it?"

Rod tried his best to deny his feelings of cuteness.

"Enough with the tongues."

"Blood."

I only dealt with those that were easy to use, such as Jamuka or Sunbeam, but suddenly I was in trouble to deal with foxes like Arc or Chielo. And the most frightening thing about it was that, because of her racial traits, the male traits, she still felt that her behavior was not bad.

"Got it."

Lord said after much deliberation. Then her face turned bright.

"Then, sir. I'll give you 3,000 gold for the gate."

"What, what?"

The rod's eyes widen sharply.

"Isn't this your chance to get the army you wanted so badly?"

She continues to speak with a smile on her face.

"And I, the king of Celestial High Prices, am personally taking care of him, but this should be it!"

"…… Hey, isn't it too expensive to open a Warp Gate?"

"Warp Gates don't just need magic! It's a technique that consumes resources."

She says so, pointing her finger at Lord Lord.

"And Lord knows he's asking for this kind of money for information!"

"Ugh."

While Lord is stuck for a moment, she reaches up her arms and speaks casually like a breeze.

"And isn't it more reliable to demand money as pure as I am than someone who will suspiciously take you for free?"

"…… you were already saying that with your mouth, and I didn't believe it at all!"

"Okay, here's what I'm going to do."

She slashes her fingers like she used a toebox.

"If we get the military as planned for half the advance, we get the other half. What do you think? Special Service!"

"…… Is that Cao Samosa?"

Lord pondered for a moment: 3,000 gold and wise heroes. In fact, it wasn't worth thinking about. Even with a thousand gold coins, you could have brought him back from hell if you had to. Lord sighs and answers.

"I'll send you an advance when it's scheduled."

"Hehe, I'm stuck!"

'... Can I really trust this guy?'

A few days later, Lord took action.

I told the other villagers that I was going to another town in Abyss territory for a short vacation, and only the priest Eve knew the real business. She was worried, but she had known Chielo for a long time, and she told me not to worry, she'll be quiet in Albheim for seven days without an accident. Eventually, I managed to get Eve's permission.

So when all the arrangements were made, Roads went out to the outer void, the meeting place.

"Over here, Rod!"

Chielo finds Lord and waves his hand.

'Okay, got it.'

At this moment, Lord realized the great truth. Even Newton, who realized all the manpower in the falling apple, and Archimedes, who shouted Eureka, seeing the abundance of water in the bathtub, would not be able to reach Lord's realization at this moment.

'He just didn't have any ideas.'

Is Lord going to play with you? I almost threw it out of my mind. He wore straw hats with flowers and ribbons instead of his usual broad bearded witch hat, white shirts with open shoulders and ribbons, short skirts and sandals. And ribbon embellishments and bracelets that appeal to cuteness are noticeable, so that they are contrasted with exposed attire.

She picks up her backpack and sweeps Rod's clothes from underfoot to his head. And he said,

"Five points for you."

"…… what?"

A trembling voice came out. She gathers her eyebrows in a grumpy manner, pointing to Lord's clothing.

"We're going out for a while, but we don't really care about fashion, do we? Ugh, brown pants. Bad vest with six pockets!"

"…… this is the normal adventurer outfit in the world."

He said with a ridiculous look on his face. This is where I wanted to point out my outfit.

"And 5 points... What's the score?"

"Out of 100 points."

"Damn it."

It feels like drying again. When I talk to her, I feel like we're going up the mountain together.

"Forget it, just open the warp gate. Unibelle will be searching every inch of the palace for me right now."

"Yes, of course. Customer."
