Episode 259: End of War and Emergency - In the Kingdom of Augusto

"What the hell is going on? Sir."

"Master Fenrir just contacted me. The demon king, Cayenne, is dead."

"Become!!? Is that true?... Then I can understand how your husband is doing."

"I haven't heard the details yet, but it looks like a pillar of the Divine Beast has defeated me..."

"I see... did you hear from Mr. Fenrir?"

Horn to horn, now report to Lady Farren.

Make sure there's no one around. I used [Unique Magic/Space] to connect to the Royal Palace room with me and Silfi.

"We need to call Mr. Meatier..."

When I say that, Sylphie shakes her head and pulls my hand.

"You'll be fine with me, sir."

"Perhaps Father is the clerk's office......" I heard a loud knock on the door as Silfi began to whine and walk like that.

"... why? How did you know he was here?

Me and Silfi looked at each other and tilted their necks.

I don't know why, but I have to get back to you for now.

"Who? Don't you want to be a little quieter?

Sylphi replies with a voice that contains a little anger.

"Ah, princess, good to see you"

Hmm? This voice sounds like Mr. Meatier.

Seems like you didn't know we were there from the way you put it.

When Silfi approached the door with Tsukatsuka and opened it, he was expecting Mr. Meatier.

... Then there was also Captain Cecil.

"Princess! It's an emergency. Please hurry to the king."

An emergency!? If you look closely, Captain Cecil, you look like you have a major injury to your right arm.

When it comes to an emergency, does that have anything to do with it?

"Captain Cecil, what happened to that arm?

"Now please hurry under the king"

I nodded loudly, took Silfi's hand, and ran out to the king's office.

Upon arrival in the office, Silfi raised her voice as she knocked on the door slightly ramblingly.

"Father, go up, it's me. It's Sylphide. I heard it was an emergency. We're going in."

And open the door without waiting for a reply.

... The King and Prime Minister Morg, who were in the midst of the abrupt events, looked at this one with a disquieting look.

"Cora, Silfi, how could you be? I thought we'd settle down a little after we got married... but apprentice Lord Aisha and Master Sasha."

Master Farren puts his hands on his hips and complains about Silfi.

Anyway, you've come to a good place, Mine.

"Your Majesty, as Silfi just said, it's an emergency? What's the matter, sir?

My story is also important, but given Captain Cecil's injuries earlier, we should make the king's priority.

"Um, actually... a mysterious demon appeared in the King's City... no, I'm also unsure if I can call it a demon..."

Yeah? Demons inside the king's capital!! You mean the general public is in danger? That is certainly an emergency.

"Father, what can I call a demon?

... to sum up the King's story:

All of a sudden a stone statue appeared in the square of Wang Du featuring four oaks.

Approaching the statue, four orcs suddenly burst out of the universe around the statue.

And because of that gushing oak, three other stone statues sprung up in chains of four oaks each. In other words, 16 convenient oaks suddenly appeared in the middle of the king's capital.

That's not a fuss.

The Second Knights, led by Captain Cecil, headed for domination, but as you know, the demon saying Orc is very strong. Originally, it's a demon that a C-level adventurer defeats in multiple ways.

In a sudden battle, the Knights struggled hard and Captain Cecil took a heavy toll.

The Kingsguard Knights, led by their brother-in-law, are now on their way to domination, and the situation is towards convergence.

… but the mysterious stone statue was found in the Wang Dynasty.

"It's strange, a stone statue..."

They say the newly found stone statues are in the form of goblins, so perhaps if we get closer, we'll get goblins.

"I'm sorry I've always relied on you, but I need you to help me get rid of the statue. Oh, and make sure Master Fenrill doesn't know who he is."

"The King. This is information from Mr. Fenrir..."

I turn to the king and start reporting. [M]

"Hmm? What's up? I don't want to hear the bad news..."

"No, that's not true. I think that's good news."

"Good news? What?

The king sat in his chair with a relieved look on his face.

"Yes, Cayenne the Demon King... a pillar of the Divine Beast has defeated him."

"What? Is Sole true?? Sure, good news, but how did that happen all of a sudden?

"I don't know the details yet, so I'm thinking of going to Master Fenrill's in no time."

As I stretched my spine and said so, the king rose again and nodded loudly.

"I asked you, Mine, to let me know as soon as you know what it is."

"Okay! You'll hear about the stone statue."
