On the day of his visit with King Alfred.

I was led by the Silver Wings Knights out of Green Hollow Town and down the mountain.

Thanks to the bridge previously [restored] at the request of the Town Hall, we plan to be able to reach our destination by noon if we leave town in the early morning.

It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse, but I surprisingly remember my body.

As long as I don't make him run in a hurry, he's going to make it through fine.

"Wow, the white wolf's. Don't freak out and faint because this is your first look."

"Rest assured, Lord Luke. Your Majesty is very accommodating."

"I'm not going to pass out right now."

As we continue to relax and chat, we head out through the bustling mountain paths of the trees into a scenic spot overlooking the plains.

The location of the destination was immediately known.

In the middle of the plain, a massive camp was set up consisting of innumerable tents (tents).

"That is the camp of His Majesty Alfred's mobile court."

"The mobile court… it was indeed a system for the king himself to patrol the conquered land to see if it could be properly governed"

Felix looked a little surprised when I said that in my familiar knowledge.

"You're familiar with it. Most importantly, this has been His Majesty's territory for a long time, so now we are simply passing for travel..."

"Felix. Something oddly high this time?

Garnett blocked Felix's description, pointing to a far away camp.

I can't say much because I don't know the normal size of a moving court, but from a knight serving the Royal Palace, he's uncomfortable with the size of the camp.

"If you ask me, you are. Anyway, let's head to the local area."

Run the horse down the slope and cross the plain to reach in front of the camp.

A soldier on guard noticed us approaching will take his men and stand in the direction of progress.

"Stop! What can I do for you!

"It is Felix Alabasta of the Silver Wings Knights! Your Majesty's decree has brought you Luke of the White Wolf Forest!

"Excuse me, I'm asking for an explanation! Please present a subpoena!

Finish the administrative and formal procedures and head to the biggest tent at Felix's head.

Number of soldiers standing in line around. Number of horses connected by rope.

It's all awesome to see and clearly tells the story that this tent is the most important place in the camp.

"We'll be waiting for you outside the tent. From here, please proceed only with Lord Luke."

"Oh, is it just me!?

"The biggest and most conspicuous man is His Majesty the King. Don't lose your back because it's not what I imagined, okay?

Step inside the fearful tent as the garnet stirs you up.

In the tent, which is as small as a house, men, who can be seen as nobles and officials, held meetings surrounded by desks arranged on several pages.

And there's someone in this room who's emitting a great deal of color.

"Oh, here we are!

A sumptuous voice echoes in the tent.

A body with so many muscles that I don't think I'm close to fifty.

A magnificent face full of energy and vigour.

The majestic costume is worn down by a great deal of clutter, and the collar is opened to its limits, bragging about a flesh that does not know decay.

I understood at a glance.

This royal figure is the one who made him the most powerful adventurer twenty years ago, the current king, King Alfred.

"Just fine, here. Let's pause the meeting. I've been stuffing my roots in the morning. I hope you'll have some dinner."

At the behest of King Alfred, the participants in the meeting will continue behind the tent.

Just seeing their tired and open-minded expressions conveyed how temperamental the discussion was.

And only me and King Alfred will be left in the wide tent.

... Wait, you don't even have an escort?

I don't know how much my personality is completely flawed, but I have the audacity to do it.

Or are you able to follow skills that you can protect without having to be on your side?

"Sit in the right chair. Don't worry about whose seat it is."

"Yes, sir"

I thought it might be something to kneel on the ground at a time like this, but if you told me to sit in a chair, I can't help it.

I lowered my back to the farthest seat for now, but what a commonplace King Alfred left his seat and snuggled into the chair next to mine.

"... Huh!

"It would be hard for me to talk to you if you were so far away."

It doesn't matter if I'm surprised and round my eyes, King Alfred got to the point without any foreshadow.

"Luke in the White Wolf Forest. All suspicions against you have been cleared. Both harm to the brave and misrill trafficking will be officially treated as innocent. You took care of him."

"Yes, no, no..."

"Well, here's the real deal."

The real deal? From here? I doubt my ears by accident.

How do you handle the wet clothes blown by this minister?

I just thought that was the point of the day.

- And I'm surprisingly convinced from what I've thought.

I don't have to bother calling if that's all, and I'm not even talking about collecting and selling future misrills.

It wouldn't be strange for the Royal Palace to realize that that's the real deal.

"You know the violation of orders committed by the brave Falcon. Even though it is not our intention, a full-scale confrontation with the Demon King has become more inevitable than our failure to carry out an attack on the Demon King Gandalf"

King Alfred's story was very different from what I had imagined.

"It is probably impossible to respond with a small elite led by a new brave man. The Demon King will be on full alert. I mean, it's the next best thing to choose. It's not a crusade by the brave, it's a crusade by the army."

It's not about wet clothes, it's not about misrills.

Former adventurers like me, or an arms dealer, should have no connection, raise issues from a military point of view.

I had no idea why I was being told this story.

"Oh, um... and what does that have to do with me...?

As I courageously asked, King Alfred put his hand on my shoulder with a lavish grin.

It's rather as powerful as being slapped rather than put down.

My shoulders to arms are slightly paralyzed.

"We plan to place a front-line base on the fifth tier of The Day Clock Forest. It's a Knights' stuffing and a hub for adventurers exploring underground spaces."

"Uh... that means no way..."

"I want you to help me, too. Research and investigation of the building of bases and doors leading to underground spaces to improve equipment! There's so much to rely on!

A lavish laugh echoes in the tent.

I felt a grin on my mouth as I bathed it at close range.
