Episode 188: Reward and Appreciation

I knocked on the door when I arrived in front of the king's room.

"It's Alim and Micah."

"Whoa! Come on in."

Me and Mika walked into the king's room, as they said.

Mika looks at the interior of the room with Kyoro Kyoro.

Well, I've never been here before.

"You can put it there."

"Yes."

I sat in a chair once before.

This elephant pattern... it was a behemoth, wasn't it?

"What is the story? Are you talking about Mephistophales and Herrell...?

"No, I haven't sentenced them yet. But there are a lot of requirements."

Micah told the king, yes.

It's so rare to say it from Micah.

The King continues.

"Hmm... first of all, I don't mean to promote you both to SSS rankers."

Well, that would be.

Instead of sealing the evil demon Samayil, I wiped him out completely. Well, that's also because Mr. Aichan used it to pay for the compulsory contract.

Micah defeated tens of thousands of enemies at once. The kings watched it straight.

"Thank you! King."

"Thank you"

"Um, I'll announce this in front of the public as well.... Now next time."

The king rattled his fingers patchy.

Then four servants with large platforms with pulleys come into this room.

The top of the table was covered with a white cloth.

The platform stopped in front of the king, and the servants went out of this room.

"Your Majesty, what is this?

"Oh, it's Micah. A thank you and a reward to you both."

The king stands up and takes the white cloth with a basil.

There were loads of big gold coins there.

This number of big gold coins... is rolling.

"Su... that's an amazing amount"

"Oh, I have 3,000 of these"

"Heh!?

So... big gold coins... 3000 pieces!?

Approximately 300 million bells… 3 billion yen in Japanese yen!

"Is that... 300 million bells?

Surprised Micah snaps at the king.

"Yes... but only a fraction of it is here. I can only give you this much now because I haven't been able to settle the loot... but after all the settlement, I'll be able to give you the remaining 1997 million bells"

"………………"

A total of 200 billion bells......!?

I mean, 2 trillion yen?

Approximately $20 billion if you fix it to dollars.

Micah and I, our open mouths are missing a lid.

"What... that... that... that... this..."

"Alim, I don't know what to say. I can't help but be surprised... calm down a bit"

Will you calm down? That's 2 trillion yen!? 2 trillion yen.

You can live without working together or something. That's not the level.

If you are in Japan... in life... there are theories, but marriages included, possessions included, child support included, old age is also loose, assuming that the wage necessary for such a life is 250 million... you will give me 8,000 lives.

Yabe, my heart is pounding.

As good as yesterday.

Micah looks shivering, too.

"Po... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"That's right. Calculate the number of enemies Micah defeated and the activity of Alim as numbers, and that's the amount."

"Heh heh..."

Me and Mika looked at each other.

Weird sweat also comes out.

"Why don't you both... take a deep breath?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"Heh heh..."

Me and Micah take a deep breath, as they say.

That's not too much, but my mind calmed down a little.

"Are you calm?

"Yes, how much?"

"Ah... sorry..."

"Well, good.... at first I was worried about what to thank you for? Alim can create her own items. You won't need any items."

Sure it is.

There's no point in getting an item now.

"And... I thought I'd give you a title, or a certain status, but it's already established a status of brave man and an SSS ranker"

Sure it is.

When you look at the way people from that other country respond to me, you see that the status of brave man is quite considerable.

Plus it's an SSS ranker.

Surely you won't even need status.

"And that's why gold... I'm sorry, Alim would have enough assets. I didn't even need the money. But this is all I can thank you for, forgive me."

No... just enough to thank me properly.

But... is it okay to give the two of us 200 billion bells?

"Can I give you $200 billion for just the two of us? For example, the adventurer who joined us, the money we pay to the country, the damage repair."

"That's not a problem"

And the king said, looking niggardly and happy.

I see, was it even making any money?

"And?

"First, this war made a lot of money. Because the enemy was not a human being, but a demon or a demon. They'll get the nucleus and the material."

"Ha... so, how much?

"The demons and demons totaled 522,280, right? According to the measuring instrument."

522,280!?

Hey, what's that number......

That's crazy... besides. This world can make thousands of bells from even one E-rank demon, if dismantled successfully. Besides, I think the enemy had more than a C-rank.

Sure, you won't have to worry about 200 billion bells just for this.

"Now you see the cost of this war is no problem?

"Yeah, so, what about the damage?

"Thanks to your Lord, it's almost harmless. The enemy was only concentrated in this king's capital, so there are no nearby villages.... Honestly, it would have been more damaging if it had also been arson in some mansion. Ha ha!

Were you...

Surely all the dead have been brought back to life, and there is nothing broken. No damage.

If you look only at the results, it's a triumph.

"So......... really well done. Both of us."

The king holds Micah's hand with me.

"And some more, let me tell you"

He has a serious and emotionally overflowing look, not at any time.

The king took his hands off us, stood out of his chair, took off his crown, and... bowed his head deeply.

"... thanks for keeping the damage down! Thank you for bringing us back to life! Thanks for being my daughter's friend! I... can't thank you enough! Thank you so, so much!

The king, who could always afford it or be calm, showed himself so bowed his head just the two of us.

"Oh, keep your head up, please."

"Yes, we just did what we had to do..."

"Still... as one person, let me thank you"

The king stayed put for a few minutes, keeping his head down.
