"Now I'd like to start discussing this"

Ask about the request and come back to the Inn after Royal Castle.

King Patrick tells me that he wants me to wait because he will also be sending his pick up to the inn tomorrow morning.

The labyrinth exploration will begin tomorrow morning.

A labyrinth of about ten tiers should be over in a day, so it doesn't take much preparation either.

"The agenda is whether to take requests or not"

Only Melissa looks unexpected in my words.

"Please wait."

Melissa speaks up as other members agree.

"What's up?

"It's a request from the royal family. Not just an adventurer, but a royal request is the biggest opportunity for mercenaries and merchants to rise. And you can't say no after you've heard what I asked."

Melissa says so, but Melissa has reason for us to have such a discussion.

"So you can take on the request?

"... Huh?

"You look so disgusting right now you can't even think about it from time to time."

I don't want to take on a request from royalty if possible.

I can see that emotion.

"... that's not true"

The lie is found out at a time when there was silence before denying it.

"Exercise the power of order." Tell me your honest feelings ""

The family cannot disobey orders from the Lord.

Melissa answers after a frequent tour.

"... I don't want to take requests from royalty if I'm going to be honest. Because of the third prince, not only I, but my parents, my sister, many people I know, have had a hard time, and they are dead."

It would be difficult to accept such things as cooperating with the father or brother of the main culprit when you think of such people.

"Then, in the direction of declining the request -"

"- But more than that, I'd like to take a request for the Lord."

Melissa's thoughts weren't over yet.

"My emotions are filled with feelings of resentment for the third prince indeed. It is equally difficult to accept against the royalty that I left unattended knowing. But I want to repay the Lord for revealing more hidden facts than that."

resentment towards royalty.

Payback to me.

Which one has stronger thoughts in Melissa?

Such a thing would be obvious if you looked at me with eyes that grabbed my hand with both hands and drew it to your chest and moistened it.

"... Ha!

That's where the absolute power of command expired.

Back in sanity, when Melissa let go of my hand and put on the blanket, she squatted on the bed. He couldn't stand the embarrassment much.

Illis, who was next door, is rubbing Melissa's back.

"This is cowardice..."

"I'm glad to hear Melissa's honest thoughts."

It was a pleasure for Illis, who had just recently joined, to hear his fellow honest feelings.

I was worried that I would be confused when I suddenly ended up partying with someone my age because I had only ever partied with someone my own family. We're quick to tell each other how honest we feel if we're really going to be together, but Ira didn't think Sylvia or Melissa would talk about honesty anyway.

However, I would like to limit myself to this one because I feel it would be different to let them talk to each other until they exercise their absolute right to order.

"Do you agree with Melissa after all? You disagree?

"It's..."

Definitely not spoken from Melissa's mouth back to sanity.

"I would now like to take a vote where I could also ask Melissa's honest opinion"

Nevertheless, if we look at everyone's face, we know there is no one to disagree with.

"Who wants to take this request"

"" "Yes!

Three other people besides Melissa raised their hands to make it brighter.

I didn't answer, but Melissa wouldn't have a problem agreeing.

"But there are few benefits to taking on a request from the royalty in those of us who don't need so much money or honor. In the meantime, a guide to the lowest level of the labyrinth where you do not know what the requests you have undertaken are. Why did you intend to take on the request?

Reason.

First, there was a desire to do something about the royalty in Melissa by taking on a request from the royalty.

You should know that it is wrong not to have good thoughts about all the unrelated royalty in the matter of the third prince because it is about her wise. I just needed some kind of trigger.

I hoped this request would trigger that.

But I'm not going to go into that much detail, so I'll give you another reason.

"This request is an end to unexpected trouble in the labyrinth."

"Right."

"What if something goes wrong in our labyrinth, too? It's not just for the client, we can't rely on someone when there's some trouble in our labyrinth. We have to deal with this alone. It's like a kind of prep exercise."

Nevertheless, I'm not thinking that seriously.

If fatal trouble seems to have occurred before, it should have been taught in advance by the labyrinth nucleus. He's like enjoying the way we're struggling, but he doesn't change being a labyrinth administrator. You should talk about trouble ahead of time because it's harmful to you too.

"One more thing. There's also a reason I'd like to meet the labyrinth nucleus of Wangdu."

"To the nucleus of the labyrinth, is it?

"Oh, how do you maintain the labyrinth? I'm wondering why it's still being maintained."

"Yes, if there's a good reason, we'll just get to the end"

They laughed and nodded furiously when they said they were asking for trouble.

When I was guided to the royal castle by a knight who picked me up just like yesterday, I was consolidated by a different magnificent knight than when I was guided to the salon yesterday.

The path I was led is not the same as when I went to the salon.

They didn't explain where they were going, but they're moving to the back of the Imperial Castle.

"Not at all… what does His Majesty think of, such as leading the adventurer to the back of the Imperial Castle"

A knight who was unhappy with our guide shrugs.

Well, the royal castle, which is an important base of the country - it must also be intolerable as a knight, such as to guide an adventurer who can't get to the back. The fact that we can whine like that seems to have kept a secret from the Patrick Kings about who we are.

Pretend you're not hearing me here and go through.

"Here we are."

Ahead of arriving was Prince Randolph, who kept two knights waiting beside him.

But there's nothing there but walls. No, you're not. The other side of the wall in the back is hollow.

"Can I interpret that you've come here to mean that you've taken on the request?

"Yes, I promise to take the prince safely to the bottom."

Besides, it would be harder to bring home only secrets than I have been guided so far.

"Your Highness..."

"What's up?

"Again, I disagree with taking adventurers."

Prince Randolph and the knight who came first and waited advise.

"No problem. Taking him is not one of mine, but an order from His Majesty the King. It's a problem in case something happens to me. It makes sense to take them, who are used to the labyrinth. Besides, this is the ritual necessary for the succession to the throne. If you spend any more time on it, you may have problems inheriting the throne, and it may be a factor that will be added to the ranks opposed to my reign."

"Yes, sir."

"If you say there's a danger in that, you're the knights, and you're the only ones who need to protect it."

"You're right. I promise to protect you even in exchange for this life."

The knights are convinced by the prince's words.

But now I'm not more convinced.

"Wait a minute, please. No way, are you going to take the knights too?

"Yeah, only the six of us here because they revolted to take only the adventurers diving, but they were going to take them. This is what my father is convinced of."

"Naturally. You can't have your highness with filthy people like adventurers."

Looks like the knight hates me.

Originally, he was not close to a knight who served his country and an adventurer who would do anything to reward him.

Well, if that's how you behave, I have an idea over here.

"The request we have undertaken is to take His Highness Randolph to the lowest level of the labyrinth. I'm not going to take care of you, so even if a demon shows up, protect yourself."

"Naturally. There is no need to be protected by adventurers. Let us protect His Highness."

They seem to have forgotten the fact that the knights who have already dived have not returned.

The knights have given us their word, so let's just take it easy and get there.
