My First Trip was to Another World
A story I don't know.
I left the Magic Institute and moved to the training ground. There is no one in the square of the training ground where the soil has been stripped. Since it is wide and empty, it is ideal as a relay point for transferring.
If you go between sights, you'll be able to talk right away, but it's awkward to talk there. Too many outsiders. That said, it is also possible that church officials are present. I have already considered the means for the two of us to talk.
Next destination is the king's lounge inside the royal castle. It's in the back between sights, in a room the king uses for breaks and meetings. That room is the only place where the king and I could possibly talk. The proximity could be nearby, but we should get rid of it.
It's time to start watching. If we move to the break room now, no one will be there. I anticipate and transfer.
Out in the dim lounge. As expected, no one is here. The soundproofing magic prop seemed to have been cut off, and I heard a leak in the conversation between the glances.
The person you're looking at right now seems to be some merchant. I hear something about business. It's bad to interrupt, so let me wait here until I've finished my current glance.
There are no windows in this room, just tiny lights like emergency lights. I sat dodgy on the couch where the king was always sitting and lit the light on the big lamp.
Fluffy lighting inside the room and good view of the conditioning. The wall is painted with a portrait of someone, and the walls are decorated with flowers in seemingly tall vases.
I'm free, so I can only observe the room. Experience to date has shown that a one-time visit took between 15 and 30 minutes. You won't have to wait that long.
As I relaxed with my legs together, I felt signs of approaching the room.
... a little awkward, I guess. I'm trespassing as much as I want. I feel like it's no use hiding, and I feel like I should hide and do it over... What should I do?
While I was wondering if I should hide, the door was opened. A familiar maid came in and looked right in the eye with me. This is what I'm supposed to do.
"Hey, good morning. Sorry to bother you."
Take an attitude that you deserve to be here. It's more certain than fixing it weirdly.
This man has met several times before. You must remember me over there, too. You know who I am, too. Even if he was summoned suddenly by the king, it is not unnatural.
"Huh? Ah... ohayogozaimus"
The maid, bewildered, returned her greeting.
"I'm keeping you waiting. I don't need tea or anything, so don't worry about it."
"Ah... sorry, I'll have it with you soon"
That's what the maid said and left the room.
You look like you urged me...... Whatever it is, it's success. This won't make it a problem for me to be here.
As I kept waiting, new signs approached the room. I'm not an earlier maid. I wonder if the same hand will pass......
My worries were elsewhere, and the door opened with momentum.
"It's Coe! Why didn't you call me before you got here?
The king. Dokadoka and I came into the room. I should have seen it just now.
Before we begin the conversation, activate the Soundproofing Demon Prop. Not only were the items provided for the room, but the soundproofing magic props in front of them were activated at the same time. I put in some precautions, as there is also the possibility of telling a rather awkward story.
"Please close the door for now. Are you ready to take a look?
When the king closed the questions, he sat straight on the couch on the guest's side.
"I cut it up on the way. What are you doing all of a sudden?
Oh, you did a bad thing to the merchant. Perhaps for a merchant, the king's glimpse should be a hell of a thing. I hope there's nothing like falling sales because of this interruption.
"Because I was in a hurry. Besides, I wanted to talk to you two if I could."
Multiple signs approaching this room. Looks like the neighbors are trying to get in. You're in the way. I got up off the couch and locked the door.
"Huh! Why would I lock it?
"It's an awkward story if you ask me. Even if it's close."
"... is that the story?
Which story?
I don't care if they say (...) of (...), I have too many thoughts. If it's the most recent story, I'm talking about the Apostolic Summon and the Divine Send, maybe it's about the promotion exam, maybe it's about the con man I handed over the other day. Maybe it's simply a church story.
"What does' that 'mean?
"You know it without saying. I'm Corey, a former court magician."
What? Who?
The king sounds his nose so good, he says, but seriously, I don't know. I wonder who you're talking about.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
"... hmm? Didn't you come here to hear about Corey's disappearance after you quit the Magic Leadership?
Wow, there's a story out there I don't know. Were you missing? I mean, who?
He's probably a former colleague of Luna and Lily, who tried to analyze the procedure together... I only heard you quit.
Maybe we stopped by the Magic House yesterday, so I read it in depth.
I don't even know Luna or Lily's missing. Because of this, you should ask.
"Can you elaborate?
"Mm-hmm. After I quit the Magic Inn, I left the Magic Prop Workshop open in Wang Du for a while, but you know this?
I don't know.
It's a hassle, so let's get back to it. Nod gently to urge the continuation.
"What happened then"
"When the workshop didn't go well and the funds were running out, it seemed like the church called me out and I became a cleric.
Therefore, he teaches the art of apostolic summons. I tried several contacts, but never answered the rest of the calls. "
Wow... I heard something terrible. I wonder what you mean by knowing the truth of the Apostolic Summon and still giving instruction on the ritual.
But since the church was able to secure the person, you've speeded up your second summons. I was wondering who was coaching.
"With the guidance of that person, you have decided on the next Apostolic Summon"
"That's the thing...... as always, you're more earthy. Where did you hear that... It's supposed to be top secret."
This is the real deal. The story of the former court magician will concern Luna and Mr. Lily, but it doesn't matter to me.
"No, with a little pinch in my ear. Why were you granted an apostolic summons?
"... an apostolic replacement. I consider this Apostolic Summon to have failed"
Oh? Recognized as a failure? I thought we were the only ones who knew... I wonder if it's a surprisingly well-known fact.
"Why do you think it's a failure?
"This is hard to say, but two of the apostles are too weak. Clearly weak compared to past apostles in other countries. The apostle at heart is inferior to the general soldier when he says that the activity of Koh, who is not an apostle, is remarkable.
The rest I consider good in the long run, but the others don't. I guess my expectations were too high. "
Don't you have proof? Replacing it because it's out of expectation is a lame story.
But I don't have any growth cheats, so I guess this is it. A typical 17-year-old can't be inferior to a common soldier.
You wouldn't have had a problem if you'd trained with me earlier, but those two were mixed up in recruits and trained relaxed. Maybe those two were sweet, too. I should have pulled him back, but I should have let him take part in the Glad Squad training.
Well, I don't know how to cut it out. The truth of the Apostolic Summoning should only be told to the King. It's up to the king to hear it and how he acts.
If you say you will carry out the Apostolic Summon even if you know the truth, I have to be serious too.
"Let's get straight to it. God's sending scheduled for tomorrow and the next Apostolic Summoning. I want you to stop this."
"Hey... what are you talking about? There's no way you can decide on the other side. It's not something you can decide on the other side."
"Oh, you don't need the king's orders. I'll stop at will. The king doesn't have to stop me from doing it."
Ah... I forgot to salute you. Well, okay. It's a hassle, so let's keep going. I don't respect it anyway.
"The rest, as kings, cannot forgive the selfishness of others. If you are going to enforce it, you will be executed immediately after deprivation of identity."
The king says with perseverance. I think this is quite an inadvertent statement, but I wonder if I should be king of one country. I'm worried about you while you're in HR, because you're alone, so maybe you're talking to me as a private person.
"Determine if you're my wagamama after the conversation.
Have you heard more about the contents of the Apostolic Summoning Ceremony?
"What do you mean...?
"Results of the analysis of the procedure. Several court magicians are analyzing its contents."
"Mm... I didn't get that report."
I thought maybe you were asking, you're surprisingly unpopular. Well, it sounds like they think you're a person on the church side among court magicians, so there's no choice.
Tell the king everything I know about the Apostolic Summoning.
That the sorcerer and the apostle will die, that the apostle will be absorbed by God, that these will be done at the initiative of God.
The king was astonished, losing his words, and listening to me bite my words with a strangely faceted but discouraged look on his face.
"Luna and the others are not dead because of the will of one court magician. Well, that's what got me involved."
"Hmm... I know exactly what they're saying. But where do I believe in that story?
Can't you believe we're just talking about this? It's just testimony, so you're not going to be decisive evidence. It's a pain in the ass. What do I do?
"I judged comprehensively the stories I had heard from the former magicians of Mirzia, the former apostles of Mirzia and the former gods of Alencia. Can you still believe this?
Oh, by extension, I named the frigid Top Three.
"Don't call me stupid! If you're going to lie, you're going to name a few better people!
The king raised his voice, including anger.
You made a mistake. But if you skip those three, you only have the opinion of a court magician. That's not convincing. I guess this is a negotiated decision......
Unfortunately, beating the king isn't going to stop. It's too early to cook the next proposal, the royal castle. After moving the Apostle first.
"If you say you don't believe me, that's it. So you're not gonna overrule your decision, okay?
"Naturally. The identity of the other person shall be stripped as of now. In the future, it is unacceptable to name a knight equivalent. I'm dismissing the investigators, too."
I don't need that identity. They let me use a lot of things, but I don't need them anymore. Metastatic magic is too cheesy for you, maybe you won't have any trouble.
And only the equivalent of a knight was stripped. As an adventurer, I have no trouble selling materials. Oh, there are a few merchants I know, so I wouldn't have any trouble losing the identity of an adventurer.
In case they arrange a nomination and Arencia doesn't have a place, I have Elminsur. Worst case scenario, pull over there and plow the field.
Conclusion. I have no trouble as one if the King and this country become enemies.
"Oh, I don't mind. I'll put an iron on it and return it to you."
"You don't have two words for that, do you? Get out of here now!... Nosi?
That's not the iron. Well, that's the end of the story. Let's just disperse.
The only hostile and dangerous thing to do with this country is the Glad Squad. Stay alert to Glad Squad trends.
It's dangerous to stay in the castle like this, so I guess I'll retrieve the apostle and get out of here. In search of two of the apostles, he transferred to a training ground for soldiers.
