"Ba, Mr. Byrne!?

"I knocked...?

"Shh, excuse me. I haven't heard back... hehe"

Damn, I didn't even notice...

Both Mr. Byrne and Mr. Alice have a nasty face.

Embarrassing......

"Ma, you look fine and above all. We're going now, so I thought I'd say hello for the last time."

"Uh... but are you going already?

I wanted to talk to you a lot more...... well you'll be busy and I can't help it......

"Oh. It's troublesome, but it's taking a convocation. I have an Olympus meeting coming up."

"Oh, it opens this year, doesn't it? I didn't know."

The Olympus talks take place every few years and are about meetings where kings from all over the world come together to discuss various things in the world.

Because the name derives intact and takes place in Olympus, one of the five great nations.

Since Olympus is in the centre of the Valhalla continent, it is to be held there every time.

Well, it's prebuilt because it's in the center, and rumors have long been that we're all concerned about Olympus, the strongest country in Valhalla.

"Are you going to join Mr. Byrne and the others in that meeting?

"We've been told to gather for an escort. Not just us, but all SSS Rank Adventurers are called this time. And quite a few SS rank adventurers...... sure, Mr. Grawdy was called as well. It's like a very enforceable special directive, something that you can't easily reject."

Pretty good SS rank...... and all SSS ranks?

That's just horrible to imagine......

But how many kings from all over the world come together is not too much?

The kings of all nations will bring their escorts, and I don't think we have to go that far...

"Well, that's what happened. After this trip to Olympus with the help of Nieberg's transfer wizard, the reason is to escort King Nieberg to the talks. I don't hate King Nieberg himself, but I don't like being bound. Well, in the meantime, the King of Latvia has been assassinated, so he means just in case. They're making a move at this time... it's so hard..."

"Ah, assassination...? Them?"

"Hmm, you don't know?" It's called Titano Machia, the assassination guild that's making the world noise again. Those are the worst prize neck rosters (blacklists), the ones named after SSS ranks that only count in the world. Those who have suddenly appeared for several years have been assassinating world dignitaries one after another, from small countries to nobles and royalties of the great Powers, to luxury merchants and famous military personnel. But it's also unclear why they repeat it... all they know is that they're a few elite people, and each of them is a pretty good user. The King of Latvia, who was also assassinated in the meantime, was under guard by a considerable number of people, headed by S-rank class military personnel, but most of them are said to have been killed. He said there were some survivors, but he's still frightened and can barely talk. I've been quiet for the past few months... "

Titanomachia...... those guys......

Besides, I didn't know that happened.

I've had a lot going on lately...... it might not be a good idea to know a little more about the world.

There will be a lot of information about people called incompetence.

"Are there going to be Olympus talks when those guys are starting their activities? Well, if you have SSS ranks, including Mr. Byrne..."

"We should call it off if we want to think about the best. But that would cause anxiety for the world. The world is freaking out about Titanomachia..."

If we did cancel the Olympus talks here, it would look like we had stopped frightened by Titanomachia, who had recently begun its activities again.

That would put a huge crack of people's anxiety into a peaceful world today.

If a number of such cracks are made, it can also lead to the eventual breakdown of that peace.

I don't know how powerful Titanomachia is, but there's no way to show the One-Assassin Guild how frightened the world is.

"'Cause you're out of line... well, that's why we're already going anyway, but what are you guys going to do now?

"Right...... I'm going to take a little rest and see if anyone else in this town is called incompetent"

"I see. Let me know if you find anything new. Well, then..."

At that time the door to the room was knocked, and when I replied, Mr. Graudi turned up.

With that trick of raising my hand, I was relieved to find that my injured shoulder was already healed.

"Until Mr. Grawdy...... what is it?

"No, I'm here to say hello because I'm leaving already. You didn't seem to be able to move. Well... Mr. Byrne, why are you here?

"Ha ha... just like you"

"I see... was Mr. Byrne too? Okay, bye, Lord. Call me if you need anything. I won't be able to move freely for a while, but I'm sure it'll help."

"Lord, I'll talk to Grawdy from me."

"Hey, what are you talking about?

"Later. You better get your magic back!

"Nah, it's lame! You can't do it right away!

"Lord, not again!

"Haha! Again, everyone! Thank you!

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Levi...... are you serious?

"Seriously."

"Really here?

"Right here. Definitely."

There's a huge gate in front of me right now.

I could not see all sides surrounded by high walls, but I understood that it was the only thing that got me a hell of a house.

And they say that's the side prize for winning the tournament.

How many times the winning prize. This is...

"Something's wrong... I'll be out in a minute..."

I checked the contract, but there were no terms that I had to live in, and that I wouldn't mind lending it to someone.

However, it is free of charge to lend and further sale is prohibited.

That means you can't use this building to make a profit.

"Well, it's what I got, and let me take advantage of it. However, one unfortunate thing..."

"What's up, Levi?

"This house... a new building...!

"... I'm sorry to hear that. Let's just get in."

"Dear Lord...... Isn't it a little cold?

As we went inside through the stupid big gate, the lawn spread out a beautifully tidied garden and a two-story white based house was built at the end of the road made of bricks.

"Ooh! I imagined something bigger..."

"The building is just the right size. Are you making your garden bigger?"

We go inside the house, and the two of us look around the room one after the other.

Naturally every room already has furniture, all of which seems expensive.

Then, for now, I sat in the living room and took a breather sipping Levi's brewed tea.

"Don't calm down after drinking Levi's tea"

"Hehe, good. I haven't had time to breathe since I got to Nibelg."

Sure, there's been a lot going on these past two days.

It wouldn't have been long if I'd finished...

"Let's get some rest. Sleep and you'll recover your magic."

"Yes, because I don't feel well and I don't have an ex or a child."

"I think I'll use it tomorrow for the musketeers. Walk around town and gather information."

"Nice. This town is huge, and I'm sure there's something you want."

"I would also like to thank Durandal and Gungnir... Oh, you had a promise to Solomon..."

"Phew, you're going to be busy tomorrow after all"

So when we got to Nieberg, we finally fell asleep.
