Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 148: In the Royal Palace (1)

Apparently, the king is very busy right now, waiting in his room for quite a while, unlike when he came to report the name of his previous clan.

Anything, they're listening to reports of requests they were putting out through the Adventurer's Guild.

I couldn't tell you what the request was about, but it's taking so long.

I'm sure we're having an important discussion.

Speaking of which, Aisha also said in her adventurous days that she had received a request from the royal family.

As I sat in my chair thinking that there was no such attachment, I heard a knock on the door.

Oh, finally? The moment I lifted my hips thinking so, the door opened quietly.

And it wasn't the maid I expected who came inside the room, it was Silfi and Aerie.

Yeah, apparently the two of you were faster.

"Sir, I'm home. Haven't you seen your father yet, if that's how it goes? Well, Father's too busy."

"Yeah, I got a request I was putting out to the Adventurer Guild for anything, and I think I'm listening to that report."

When the maid told Silfi what she had heard as a reason for her delay with the king, she frowned in good shape and suddenly shouted out loud.

"... what!? Reports from the Alliance!?

What the hell!? When I asked, Sylfi talked to me, presumably with a forethought.

Anything, it seems possible that the Demon Nation has waged wars of aggression against other countries.

It's a ridiculous rumor, but if this were true, it would be outrageous.

They were making a request to the Adventurer Guild from the state to make sure the rumor was true or false.

She said that this request was made at a time around Silfi's decision to marry me and return to the King's Capital once, so she stands for a good amount of time.

... The Demon Nation is so far away.

"In some cases, we may have to do something about it."

Is that it? Seriously... an invasion of the demon kingdom? Hmm? I think I heard those words somewhere......

Ahhh! I remember!!! That's right! That's when it happened!

That's what Yorumungand said when he was flying to the prison labyrinth on Yorumungand's back!

You saw a town that was actually being invaded and about to perish!

"Silfi! That story is true! Lord Jormungand said a new king was born in the demonic kingdom!

"Become!? So, sir, is that true?

"No doubt about it! I saw it too, burning towns, piles of corpses, orcs, demons... it was a hell of a sight."

From his own husband, he hears unexpected reports and Silfi speaks out in surprise.

Given the timing of our request to the Alliance, we know that the Demon Nation itself is a considerable distance from the Kingdom of Augusto, where we live.

In fact, I remember having quite a bit of time to travel on the back of a flying Yormungand-like.

I mean, that's why we're so far apart, so it's not a direct threat at the moment...

When Silfi and I were talking like that, I heard knocking on the door.

"Dear Mine, Your Majesty the King is waiting for you, please come here...... oh? Did you see the princesses too?"

He's a maid who looked mildly surprised when she saw two people, Silfi and Aerie, who weren't there until earlier, but shows them to get back on their feet soon.

Yeah, he's the maid of the boulder player.

"Okay, let's come. Will the princesses go with you?

"Oh, of course."

"Naturally!

Sylphie, ask the answer of Princess Double of Aerie (though Sylphie is former) and say, "Well, shall I come with you?" and leave the room.

He swoops on my head, and a cu floats around Sylphi's shoulder. [M]

Then Aerie opened her eyes wide and raised her voice like this.

"... O sister... what is that pink child on that shoulder?

Aerie points to Ku and visits the dreaded Silfi.

"Hmm? Oh, God, she's the daughter of the beast Kates, cu"

"Ke, it's Master Kates!?

Oh, that's the way I expected it... this is going to be a similar reaction from the king and his brother-in-law.

If the whales are a less familiar species and become the daughters of the Divine Beast, I think it would be a natural reaction...

I was concerned about what I was talking about. Ku is moving his tail as a vitamin.

Apparently, I'm pretty happy.

"Kikyu, kikyu!

And towards Aerie, cu say hello with a chirp.

"... what are you saying?

"'It's Ku, thank you!' Cause."

When I told you that, Aerie smiled happily, and here she is! and return a greeting.

"Can't your sister talk to Ku properly?

"Oh, me and Aisha haven't met Master Kates."

While Aerie and Silfi were talking about that, the maid's figure had completely disappeared.

"The maid's gone! Let's hurry."

When I speak up and walk to the door a little early, they both follow me.

When I left the room and looked forward, it caught my eye that the maid was waiting for me a little further.

"Thank you for your patience."

The maid has bowed her head here deeply.

"No! Welcome, sorry!

The maid just moved on, and I apologize to each other for the delay, and once again head to the office where the king waits.

"Coming or going in"

I knock on the door and I hear your brother-in-law from inside.

As they told me, when I opened the door and went inside, the king and his brother-in-law, Mr. Morg, the Chancellor, welcomed me all together.

"You've kept me waiting a long time, I have an urgent business to attend to. I'm sorry."

When the king says so, Silfi speaks up before I reply.

"... Father, is the matter of the fire... talking about the demon kingdom entanglement of examples?

Hearing Silfi's voice, the king, his brother-in-law, Chancellor Morg and all three showed their faces of tension.

"... oh, you're right"

"I see... I just found out earlier that our husband had some very powerful information."

"What!? Mine? What the hell is all this information?

I just spoke to Silfi about the interaction with Yorumungand and the actual situation in the town I saw with this eye.

Every time I go on talking, I can see the three faces getting clouded more and more.

"... I see, Master Yorumungand said. Then there's no mistake."

That's all the king utters, and the room is quiet.

And after a while, the king spoke out again.

"Also, let me take my time listening to that story. What's up with you guys?

No way, Sylphie just found out, isn't that why we're here?

Perhaps the king cared, asking me that in the brightest possible voice.

Yeah, I'll get on with that intent and talk fine, too.

... but we have Chancellor Morg on this occasion, so you can't talk about specifics.

Hey, after seeing Mr. Morg, I'll report.

"Oh, yeah. I totally forgot. I was asked the other day to come and report because I finished what I was asking for."

"What!? Are you sure it's done! You did it, Mine!

Thus, the topic shifted to the moving door that I had built.
