Episode 301 Between Golden (1)
"Looks like it's about time. Come here."
"Ah, yes. I'll be on my way. This deal is almost over."
Helmios tells the summoner of Bird G, who looks like an ink, that it's time to come.
Helmios is the imperial castle of the Baux Empire.
From now on, we will meet Popon III, the emperor of the Bauxi Empire.
Allen and the others were in the room where the Adventurer Alliance was dealing, but they used Bird A's Summoner Awakening Skill, "Homing Instinct," to move around.
Just the other day, I was hunting for S-Class Dungeons and trading in items and magic stones that I had acquired.
Ten days have passed since General Manager McCallan recommended me to become an S-ranked adventurer.
The Commander didn't come long before a messenger from the Baux Empire came to pick him up.
When Allen checked the upcoming schedule, the messenger told me that it would take a few days for him to come to the Imperial Capital and not see it immediately.
(Regarding the incident that ended up being 10 days even though I said a few days. I'm glad you dared to go, come, and fight.)
When the hunting time is wasted, Allen and the others travel to key points such as boarding a magic ship, entering the Imperial Capital, and entering the waiting room of the Imperial Castle.
Then, he kept a record of Allen's movements and repeatedly used Bird A's Summoner's stunts and awakening skills to return to the S-Class Dungeon.
Allen wants to unseal his royal skills as soon as possible.
So aside from keeping a record of the journey, he spends time hunting Iron Golems and doing business with the Adventurers Alliance.
Helmios said, "It looks like Allen," but he followed Allen's actions.
Oh, there you are.
"Admiral Galara feels amazing. It doesn't look like a rattle."
Speak to Admiral Galara surrounded by Golem dwarves who have been adventuring with him.
Ah? Uh-uh.
Admiral Rattler matches Allen's irony.
Admiral Galara is returning to the Admiral's outfit from the usual outfit of a pirate hat.
The chest is decorated with a medal, whether it is the result of previous battles.
The Emperor will see you, so it seems you have quite a dress code.
"Has Prince Zeu not yet heard back from His Majesty the Beast King?
I also speak to Prince Zeu Beast who is with the Ten English Beasts.
Prince Zeu is also dressed as a stronger royalty than usual.
The fur-based outfit is more wild than Admiral Galara's, so I think this is what the beast royal outfit looks like.
"No, I was told to come back. Thanks to Lord Allen."
"That's good. Thanks to Prince Zeu Beast. Did he say anything about the Ten English Beasts?
I haven't been home in years.
I'm glad to see my wife soon.
I felt that there were many harsh expressions on the lion's face, but my face was fairly loose.
"Ha ha ha. His Majesty the Beast King told me he wanted to talk to you about it slowly. I'm just praying I can't help it."
That's tough.
I hear you're quite a temperamental beast king.
Allen thinks the Beast King is half joking and half serious.
"What will you do? Why don't you come with us to the Beast Kingdom? I'd like to introduce you to His Majesty the Beast King."
"What? Are you sure?
I have heard that it is difficult for a man to enter the kingdom of beasts, even Hermione the Brave.
Allen asks if it is okay to accept the invitation.
"Of course. Lord Allen must have seen the beasts in this dungeon. It happened 1,000 years ago in the first place. It's time we started walking."
Prince Zeu said that the stupidity of continuing hatred was also noticed in this dungeon attack.
It is clear that Allen and Helmios' party was necessary for this offensive.
"That's right. The kingdom of beasts is also good. I haven't been there yet, and I'd like to try it again once Merle's changed jobs."
(We may be able to get some information that will help us strengthen it. If the secret of royal beast beast beauty is solved, we may be able to get closer to extra mode.)
The transition dungeon will begin soon.
Then, in order to manipulate the Hiiro Kanegolem, we want Merle to be the first to change jobs.
Afterwards, I said I would show my face once.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to see the Emperor."
Officials from the royal castle come to tell a fairly spacious room with nearly 50 people that they are ready to start watching.
Guided by several officials, Admiral Galara, Prince Zeu, Helmios, and Allen's party leads to a large hall upstairs for a glimpse.
A door made of gold.
The door leading to the main hall is made of gold and scattered with red and blue gems.
I wonder how many magic stones I can exchange for this one. I'll do the gold check while I wait in front of the door.
"I will now hold a meeting with His Majesty Emperor Popon III of the Baukis Empire!
A loud voice can also be heard from the magic tool attached to the door.
I think the volume sounds strange and I'm going to hear it in my ear.
The golden door opens.
Then suddenly the light leaked.
It was a large hall made of gold on one side of the floor.
The emperor of the Baux Empire is already sitting in the front.
A fat old man over forty is intrigued and watching a party of nearly fifty people from afar.
And they gathered from all over the Baux Empire, and nobles were gathered at both ends of the hall.
"A lot of dwarves spend the money they earn on this."
Keel, I hear you.
Ah.
Keel makes a frank impression, so Allen is upset.
A lot of dwarves were making money in the S-Class dungeon.
Many adventurers and talented golem players literally collect taxes on their hard earnings and spend them on this glorious hall.
I think Allen agrees with me, even though I did.
Each of the four parties is arranged in one row and the hall is walked to the Emperor in four rows.
I was told to kneel here, where the jewelry stops and kneels down.
The stop was clear, and Admiral Galara, Prince Zeu, and Helmios thought it would be helpful for Allen to take the lead.
"Now, to the heroes who attacked the S-Class Dungeon, the Emperor Popon III has a word of hard work!!
Even without magic equipment, the voice of the aristocrats standing beside you sounds so good.
Probably the second-largest man in the Baux Empire.
The emperor opens his mouth as the prime minister begins his opening remarks.
"I am Popon III, the emperor of the Baux Empire. Admiral Galara."
(Do you call me the first person? If you say so, you look like me. This man is the emperor of the Alliance of Five Continents. I heard it was a selfish little boy, but it looks exactly like it.)
Looking closer, he's a fat old man with no sense of further majesty.
I look at everyone here with interest as a child.
"Yes"
Admiral Galara responds respectfully.
"I heard there was a sacrifice, but I successfully attacked the S-Class dungeon. I'll send a compliment."
"... thank you."
I was told in a light tone that I had lost an important companion, so I felt angry for a moment but thanked.
The ministers understand that Admiral Galara does not feel well about Emperor Popon III, and proceed with a slightly impatient gaze.
(Again, I would like to impress Admiral Galara as the most active of the Baux Empire.)
I wonder if that's what it's all about.
Since then, the Emperor has been curious to ask Admiral Galara questions.
Admiral Galara answers the emperor's questions quickly while suppressing his anger.
"Emperor. There are heroes who have come all the way from other continents. Give them words of hard work."
"Mmm? Mmm. That's right."
"It's Hermione the Brave. Is it a catastrophe?
"Yes"
"Well done on working with Admiral Galara on the S-Class Dungeon. I'll send a compliment!
The Emperor praised Helmius with his chest.
"I am honored to congratulate His Majesty Emperor Popon III."
Hmm!
I have heard that ancestral emperors have assembled countries on the continent to build a huge empire.
The emperor of the current Bauxi Empire has never been invaded by the Demon King's army, and Allen thinks he grew up without much tension.
That's why Allen doesn't like it when he asks if he dislikes Popon III, the emperor of the Baux Empire.
Some emperors like you grew up spoiled, others called wise emperors.
Allen thinks about the royal family of the world as a chat continues between Helmios and Emperor Popon III.
(After all, I am not suitable for royalty or nobility. So, is it correct that I became an S-ranked adventurer and became deeply involved with the Adventurer Alliance?)
"And Prince Zeu Beast. I didn't mean to call the Ten English Beasts to attack!!
"Yes, Emperor."
Since Emperor Popon III spoke to Prince Zeu, some tension surrounds the hall.
This time, Prince Zeu Beast is with all ten British beasts known as the strongest of the Beast Kingdom.
Some musicians said they didn't want to come.
Never in this official setting did all the ten English beasts come together, except for the Kingdom of the Beast of Albahar.
The Beasts are too much to call outlaws, but they have a crude image.
This is not so much the Baukis Empire as the beasts themselves, but the common perception of the world.
It is no exaggeration to call Helmios and his party the most powerful party gathered by the Giamuto Empire, but I have known him many times.
The relationship between trust and performance is built so we can talk without tension, but the Ten Beasts are different.
The beast kingdom's greatest power lies just in front of the emperor.
To be honest, it's not just something that looks good.
It seems to be putting a lot of tension on the surrounding nobles and ministers against the Ten British beasts who are hunting for their lives.
The conversation between the Emperor and Prince Zeu Beast progressed in a deliberate manner.
"Will you stay in this palace for a little while? I want to hear about the Beast Kingdom. Aren't martial arts tournaments amazing?
The emperor stared at Prince Zeu Beast like a boy, and was intrigued by Prince Zeu Beast and the Beast Kingdom.
Apparently, the emperor's lack of tension does not change when dealing with the Beasts.
"I hope you will be able to stay in such a wonderful palace. I'm going back to the Beast Kingdom, but in the meantime, if you don't mind."
Popon III repeated the question without any tension, and Prince Zew answered with grandeur.
After some conversation, the conversation between Prince Zew Beast and the Emperor ends.
The Emperor's gaze turned towards Allen.
Apparently, he called Allen at the fourth party.
"It's Allen. Face up."
"Yes"
That said, when Allen raised his face, the tension between the nobles and the ministers reached an all-time high.
