Episode 40: Nobility of the Kingdom of Memphis

After the royal castle we return to the woods where we rendezvous with the goddess after yesterday's ritual.

"Welcome back"

Silvia greets me as usual when I come back.

I was working on it, but I'll take care of me immediately to make sure it's only minimal safety. Leave your undressed coat and set it up on a nearby tree.

"How was it?

"You can't. It was one step ahead of us."

Tell everyone that the message of the goddess could not be believed.

Today I was camping in the woods near the King's Capital before taking action.

It was a family that decided to leave King's Capital with Noel, but houses in King's Capital are left with household effects and other memorabilia-packed objects. Plus there were plenty of people who had to say hello to their neighbors, people they dated, people they worked with, etc.

So Illis, who could use a toolbox (item box), went with her family to help her move, and Melissa accompanied her assistant.

There was a case where Noel's sister - Nokia - found out she had to leave her close friends when she heard that she was moving.

But my parents persuaded me that Noel, who was more of a 'witch' than a...

"I had a sister?

"I'm sorry I kept my mouth shut until now"

My mother is teaching me somehow.

At the end of Nokia was Noel, who was bending over and spreading his hands.

"I'm anxious to be able to imitate like my sister now, but it's nice to meet you."

"Yeah."

He managed to fix my mood knowing I could be with someone I admired.

Until recently, Sylvia taught Noel everything he needed to prepare a meal at the campsite.

The Virgin Group looked smiling at the state of it.

If you're serious about doing this as an adventurer in the future, it's the knowledge you need.

"How come people don't believe in God's word?

Noel is tilting his neck when he hears about the current situation.

"There have been many aristocrats who have so far conveniently used the Word of God. The royal family also thought it was a bad idea to take control of the aristocracy and there was some silence. You've come all the way around now."

If it's true, the country had to take control first.

The role of delivering the Word of God to the people was inherently the responsibility of only the 'witch'.

"There are places where nobles in this country are more obsessed with power than other nobles."

"Really?

Noel could not understand the nature of the nobility spoken of by the goddess.

Noel also had many opportunities to deal with aristocracy from the standpoint of 'witches', but he did not have the opportunity to see Gotagota between aristocrats because he was insulted by the fact that he was more of a civilian opponent.

"The Kingdom of Memphis was a country where the original persecuted beasts were able to gather together. At first everyone lived together. But in the face of all kinds of troubles, do you call yourself a leader? I needed someone like a paperback to go."

That is the beginning of the nobility of the Kingdom of Memphis.

At first it was a small role like a leader.

But when many gather, and by the time the country is formed, it will no longer be done with a vessel called Leader, and it will come to bring people together as nobles.

It was the present royal ancestors who worked among them.

"I wish they had put people together with feelings from the time they were persecuted and everyone had to work together, but the noble beasts drowned in power"

I felt very good about myself ruling over people just because I was being persecuted.

The aristocrats, who went in a better mood as if they were alcohol, went for more power.

"Even the times I lived as a person were terrible."

It was already too late by then.

For aristocrats, civilians are not the only subjects to be exploited, but how to get through the other aristocrats, and how to fit them into subordination.

I was just thinking about that.

"It's been over a thousand years since then and the nature of this country hasn't changed"

"It's kind of different from what I was hearing..."

The rumor I heard about the Kingdom of Memphis was a country where the persecuted beasts came together and were made. For this reason there are many people who are united and frank.

"Yeah, I guess a lot of people are flamboyant if they look from the outside. But that's only looking at the surface. Perhaps all the people from the outside see is the beast man laughing."

Well, what's wrong with that?

At least you don't think it's unfortunate to be able to laugh.

"Let me explain the area to you."

"Father!"

Noel's family, who finished packing, came back.

It is not a problem if you also put items in the toolbox that are inherently too heavy to take out, such as household tools.

"Do you remember Noel's life when he was in the country?

"Not really..."

"Well, maybe it's a past I don't want to remember rather than being too young to remember"

"Really?

"The more local this country goes, the greater the difference between the rich and the poor."

The Wang capital gathers all sorts of things.

The ruling lord of the province begins to wish to go to the king's capital.

I hope Wang Du can't, but at least he wants to go to the city.

I want to live a little wealthy.

Besides, I have aspirations that don't suit my height, and all my servitude goes to the inhabitants who are in the countryside.

"Life in the country was really critical and we only had to feed ourselves and one child. All our earnings were spent by the nobles to squander. If we went to Wang Capital, the civilians were promised quite a life, and we could laugh at each other. People from foreign countries seem to mistake the country for savage because of the large number of beasts, so if you're going to watch it, it's about the king's capital."

"I see."

Because it was a rumor that only referenced Wang Du or so, it was passed on as incorrect information.

In fact, there were more beastmen who endured exploitation.

I had endless hours without being able to give as much strength as I could to fight back, even though I didn't think those who had endured it should stay this way.

"It's completely lamentable."

From those who were abused, they were the object of faith purely as a base of their hearts.

It was used by those who were abusing it to increase their own power.

The goddess who was in such a position was fed up.

"In the first place, even witches who are assistants to the Witches are not capable of listening to my words because the nobles let them name themselves."

"Oh, was it all a lie?

"Not all of them, but you heard about 10% of my voice. Occasionally, there were people who were more affectionate with me."

Later it was really a word spoken in a language that was convenient for us.

Apparently there was even a witch in there who had conveyed the divine voice over and over again, even though she had never really heard it.

"You were only able to hear all my voices in the true sense of the word 'witch'"

For this reason the 'witch' had to be considered sacred.

But the aristocrats, who had stuck to all the power gained, had come to assume that they were the ones who were special.

"You mustn't be special in that sense."

"Yes!

Goddess telling Noel.

"Hey, are you really going to be one of us?

"No?"

"You mean no..."

Issues we have discussed many times.

I don't need to hide about the labyrinth, so I tell them the terms of my party membership.

"To follow our adventures, we need to know our secrets."

There's no way we can hide anything from each other to adventure together.

So you have to be someone you can teach about labyrinth magic and skills.

"Plus, you're gonna need a status, so it's hard not to be a family member."

You may need to defeat the Divine Beast alone, like this one.

The only way to get a status that's possible is to become a family member.

"Well, I know how, so it's no problem."

"Dude..."

Noel answers with a bright red face.

It gives me the biggest difficulty because I seem to have to accept it from my previous experience if it stays this way.

"... at least until you get permission from your parents."

"No!"

How difficult a challenge for a girl.

I was going to be a family member after I settled down, so I still have time.
