Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Wow...."

"This is amazing..."

"Fufu... thank you for waiting.Welcome to Olympus Castle. "

Beyond the third gate, a panoramic view of the huge castle finally emerged.

Far bigger than a giant gate over 100 meters, it was just the right word for majesty, and the height, the width, the decoration, everything was out of standard and its appearance seemed to represent the prosperity of the country as it was.

"How many meters is this...?"

"Sure, the height was about 300 meters, and the width from the front was about 500 meters."

Big deal!

That feels like the strongest country in the world...

"Ah, Lord Lord, I can't proceed by carriage from here on, so please walk."

"I understand."

"Master Jenny, let's start with a greeting for His Majesty, shall we?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is at the top of the castle... at the top of that central tower, waiting for you among the stars."

"... I'm getting nervous."

"Fufu... it's okay. Your Majesty tends to be regarded as difficult, but very generous.Besides, Your Majesty herself decided to be promoted this time... well, it seems that there was a recommendation from Lord Orgren. "

I see... but I appreciate it now.

You got a chance to get close to Roy.

Well, let's go.

Ah, yes.

We broke up with Mr. Vector, who was carrying the carriage to the stables, and we started walking after Mr. Jenny to the castle.

On both ends of the cobblestone path lined up without gaps, the beautifully cut green hedges line up straight to the entrance of the castle, and the huge statues of the knights wearing silver shining armor line up evenly above them as if we were to be seen.

And looking at the other side, all around the huge castle was covered with beautiful grass, and golden statues were everywhere.

Your Majesty likes gold.

"Huh? Ah, I see... that's why so many..."

"Yes, they are all decorated with His Majesty."Just fill everything around the castle with gold"... "

Hmm... I wonder if everyone with money likes gold.

I don't really know... hmm?

"But this way...."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but this path has been left intact."

"It's very well maintained... is there a reason?"

"This path was made thousands of years ago... when a country called Olympus was born."

Thousands of years ago!?

The road that was built so long ago is still...

"Incidentally, since this road was built, it has never been maintained or even cleaned."

Eh!?

No, because this... doesn't look like any dirt... or is it beautiful enough to believe it was finished today?

"Such an idiot....."

"I don't know what kind of power is working.But it is an indisputable fact.At least for the five years I've been in the Knights... I've never seen it maintained. "

"Is this magic...?"

"Probably"

"But even if it's magic, I can't use it anymore...."

"... there's still magic left after death."

Hmm!?

Suddenly I heard the voice of a man.

Looking back reflectively, there was a person standing there in golden clothes.

"Hee, Your Majesty!"

What!?

We look at Jenny on his knees in an instant and we do the same in a hurry.

This guy...!

"I can't wait... to get out of here."

King of the strongest kingdom in the world... Zadiac-Olympos...!

"And if you'll excuse me, Your Majesty... this is my fault..."

"Ah, no, we're ready...!"

"Fine. You're not to blame for all the haste I've caused."

Yes, I have the impression that my voice is much younger than I imagined...

And somehow... it's the same as when I first heard Mr. Byrne's voice... it's a beautiful voice... anyway.

"Raise your thighs."

Following Jenny's routine, he lowers his head deeply and then stands up slowly.

When I raised my face, two pale eyes peeking out of blonde hair caught me.

... so intimidating.

I don't know what to say... but there's something that makes this guy think he's special.

"... I see. It's special indeed."

What?

"No, this is the story. Well, it's good to see you... Lord Irvine."

"Ah! Ha, yes! It's an honor!"

What a coincidence... that was so exciting...

"Cumming... that's fine.Thank you for taking me so far, Jenny. "

"Hah...!"

Well, who's that?

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty... My name is Levi, Lord's maid.I'll see you later. "

Huh? With the maid?

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty...."

The woman next to him opened her mouth as she lowered her head to King Zadiak, who leaned her head.

Hmm?

"She is also an S-ranked adventurer.Along with Lord, there are many achievements. "

I know Levi well....

"I see. I see.There's no gap in your behavior.So don't solve it... it doesn't look like it fits in the S-rank vessel... okay.I order you in my name, Zadiac-Olympos.Make Levi an SS-ranked adventurer with this time today. Is that okay? "

Is that so easy!?

"Ha... thank you for your kindness.I will also strive to be ashamed of His Majesty's generosity. "

... Levi is amazing at these times.

You don't beat up like me...

Hmm. Midea, I'll take care of it.

"Yes, sir."

Okay, Lord.

"Ha, yes!"

"I want to ask you one thing.What do you think of the rest...? "

"... eh?"

No matter what you suddenly think...

"What... that's an extremely simple question.Say what you honestly think.For example, no matter how protected the castle is, he is an careless man walking around without a guard..... "

"Eh... ah, no, there seems to be a lot of guards around...?"

……

Shit... my expression has changed!

I've seen the lives of people hiding around me from the beginning... yes, should I not?!

"... how did you know?"

"Ah... no... I'm sorry for the sign...!"

"... fufufu... fuhahahahahaha!"

"Ah, um... Your Majesty...?"

"Excellent, Lord... the rest likes you.I'd like to talk to you again later.Can you make some time after the ceremony? "

"Yes, of course!"

"Hmm... well, there's still a little time till the ceremony.Until then, take a look around the castle. "

"Ah, thank you! I will do that."

"Nh... Jenny, I've kept you in charge."

Ha!

"Bye, Lord Levi. I'll see you later."

Yes!

"Excuse me."

King Zadiak smiled and went back into the castle with Midea.

Eventually, I lost sight of you--

"Phew... I'm tired..."

I felt like I was about to sit down, and I exhaled.

I feel that my body has lightened at once.

"That was the king of Olympus..."

"Ahh....."

"That's right, Lord Lord... that's really impressive.Your Majesty's face... seemed to be quite fond of you.Lord Levi is wonderful, too. I'm not surprised, but I think you were right. "

"I wanted to say no... but I thought it was innocent."

"Ok... I'm really worried about this right now... are you okay?"

"Fufu... let's take a quick look around the castle while we talk about the arrangements for the ceremony."

Ah, thank you very much

I feel kind of heavy.

Nothing happened... I hope it's over.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"So this is the waiting room... oh?"

"Ah."

"Hello."

"Master Byrne... and..."

I looked all the way through the castle, and when I opened the door of the last guided waiting room, I found myself inside somehow with Mr. Byrne...
