After breaking up with John, he took Paille and Ivy and hurried ahead.

Let the two servants carry their luggage and proceed along the street.

In addition to Paille, Ivy, who thought she was thin, was surprisingly powerful and walked with her luggage, but she didn't look tired.

I thought about slowing down the pace if I couldn't keep up with my health at first, but apparently I didn't have to worry about that.

I was walking with them at a normal pace.

"Um...."

Ah, Ivy talked to me from behind.

Hmm? What?

Turn around and ask Ivy back.

"Ko, Emperor......, ha-"

"Don't call me that."

To Ivy, who can see that she is unfamiliar with it, Paille points out while wearing senpai's style.

"Emperor, there is no way to call him. Say goodbye to His Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, yes."

"Yes, and now that you're patient, call me Master to make sure he doesn't know who you are.When I get back to the city, it's Your Majesty. "

"Ha, yes... uh... yes"

Ivy was confused.

Even though I don't even know it, it seems like I'm in trouble because I've been told all kinds of things over and over.

"Don't think hard, Master, for the time being, everything will be fine.Your Majesty, when you get used to it, you'll understand nature. "

I see.

"So, what are you talking about?"

"Ah. Um, Master, is the water... okay?"

"Water?"

"If we keep going, we're going to the desert....."

Ah.

I nodded small.

Enter the desert - that's what it was all about.

Ivy is carrying a luggage with Paille and comes from around here.

I'm sure they're worried about the extreme amount of water in their luggage.

"I'm fine with that."

"But the desert doesn't have water.I... will die. "

Ivy said "die" straight away.

I've never been in the desert, I just know it as knowledge.

But it is also said that if you turn your back, you know it as knowledge.

I know that the desert has no water anyway, and that the absence of water involves life and death without jokes.

Ivy cares about it.

In my case, that knowledge is enough.

"Don't you feel safe just because you're okay?"

"Eh, yes...."

"Hey, that's rude to your husband."

"I'm sorry."

"Fine, I'm just using it, and I can't help it.Let's get rid of that anxiety now. "

I got Leviathan out.

Leviathan is usually smaller than a needle and hides it in his ear.

I took it out and put it back to its original size.

"Well, from where...."

Amazing, Ivy.

I smiled with a smile."It's too early to be surprised," he said.

When Ivy stopped surprising, I stopped and turned around and pushed Leviathan out.

Can you do it, Leviathan?

I didn't make it.

When Leviathan answered, the water dripped slightly from the tip of the horizontally protruding notch.

It's a small amount like spring water around it, but still the water flowing out of the object called the "sword" is a fuzzy sight from a person who knows nothing about it.

Of course, Ivy was stunned.

Your mouth is wide open and you're stunned.

"This is..."

"Water evaporates and escapes into the air.This leviathan can freely convert water in the air into water. "

"That's what happened!?"

Ah.

"Wow...."

Ivy is amazed and stunned.

I don't know what you're talking about if you don't show me the real thing, but I think you have to believe it as Ivy because you can actually see "the sword keeps pumping water" in front of you.

"That's why there's no need to bring water.I just read it in the literature, but it's not like there's no water in the desert.Is there a way to make water, even if it's just a little bit? "

"Yes, yes."

I read about it in the literature, but I stepped on the local people to agree with Ivy.

I'm sure Ivy knew and the conversation was smooth.

"More than any other way, Leviathan is able to gather water.You can bathe in the desert anyway. "

I'm flabbergasted.

"Mi, take a bath!? But... if this is the case..."

Surprisingly, Ivy, the water that Leviathan kept pumping was convincing.

Ivy looked surprised but convinced.

On the other hand, beside that, Paille looked good.



As we entered the desert, Payle's depletion became visible and intense.

The sand often took her feet, slowing her pace of walking.

Because Ivy is from this region, there is no noticeable wear and tear.

Let's get some rest.

"Yes, yes."

After a break, Paylle's face was clearly relieved.

I look around.

There is no shield, and the sky is brilliantly clear.

I clasped my hands.

The ring that remained on the thumb was deformed to create a large wall in one direction of the sun.

It became a shield, creating a fairly extensive shade.

"That's awesome...."

"Put your stuff down and get some rest. And Ivy."

I see.

Drink some water.

Each of the two girls nodded to me.

Payle dropped his luggage and went straight to the ground, but Ivy seemed to have some room and came before me.

"Do you have anything to do, Master?"

"Not now. Rest tight."

Are you sure?

Ah.

"Your husband... looks just like John."

"Yeah? What do you mean?"

They said it was similar to John, and I was interested in that.

I smile and ask Ivy back.

Ivy replied badly.

"Well... you're just going to tell me to rest when I'm done with my work."

Hmm?

I thought about it a little.

I thought for a moment and understood.

Ah, the story of 'taking back'?

Take the original?

On the contrary, Ivy cursed me this time. [M]

"Did you work for a jerk employer before John?"

"Yes, just a little before they sell."

I see.

I nodded small.

I understand that there is such a person in my employer.

This is how people think.

The idea is that if a person who is paid and hired does not work, the lost salary will be lost.

So I demand that the people I hire work without rest.

It's a kind of jerk.

It's the idea that if you change the way you say it, you have to take it back.

Of course, I don't have such an idea.

To a certain extent, I do not deny it because it is a necessary feeling for merchants, but I do not intend to do so at all.

"I guess that's what John learned after seeing how to do the rest."

"I see...."

"If that's the case, you can keep it that way.I won't tell you to work forever.Rest when you can. "

"I see...."

Ivy pulled back once, but he didn't seem entirely convinced.

Hmm, what do you care?

Huh?

"You're not convinced of the rest of the way?"

"Well, that's...."

Tell me what's bothering you.

……

Ivy stared at me.

She looks at me and asks if I can really talk to her.

I glanced at Paille.

She is still hungry.

She's resting in the shade I made with her eyes closed thinly.

I thought I'd listen to you carefully until Paille recovered.

That's how I waited.

Should I not rush it? Eventually, I opened my mouth from Ivy.

"Your master... is he really not the emperor, Your Majesty?"

Hmm.

I nodded small.

Different from the Emperor statue in the image?

Laughing brightly, he asked Ivy back.

"Yes...."

What's the image of the Emperor in Ivy's head?

"Er...."

"You can talk without hesitation. That's what the rest of us are listening to."

"Ha, yes. Um... very sparkly clothes, following a huge crowd of people, very luxurious rice."

"Luxury. What does it feel like?"

"Arrange about a hundred dishes, eat one bite of them all, and throw away the rest."

"Ahahahahaha"

I laughed.

The stereotype image of ordinary people remained intact, and it became interesting around.

"I wouldn't do that. In the first place."

Huh?

"Not so much unless it's all a bite, a hundred bites, not so many big eaters."

Yeah, that's right.

Anything else?

"Um... just gather the beautiful women and..."

Ahahahaha, is that so?

This is a stereotype again, and I laughed.

"That's not always a mistake.His Majesty the Emperor, the other father, had dozens of concubines and hundreds of women.The Emperor has to build a succession, and there's no other way to make sure he has a heir. "

Well, so is His Majesty?

Yeah, there's about three more of them.

"Huh? That's it?"

Amazing, Ivy.

Apparently, it was much less than expected.

Well, I don't think so.

I understand that.

I'm probably the most desperate emperor in the history of the Empire.

……

Ivy is staring at me with a gloomy face.

I know what you're surprised at.

Even the merchants around here are surrounded by concubines.

"Fu, surely the rest is a little different from the emperor you think.If you go back to the Imperial Capital, you'll know if you're really the Emperor.Until then, believe in John. "

"Yes, yes."

Ivy panicked a little, but nodded honestly.

Believe in John, it seems to have worked.

"Well...."

After a while, I saw Payle.

To check Paille's recovery and see if he can leave.

Hmm?

Master?

Payle seems to be fully recovered.

So he noticed that my expression had changed.

I looked over her back - beyond Paille.

There was a group that approached us as we rolled up the sand and dust from across the horizon, sparkling with heat.

"Horse, huh?"

Huh?

Amazing Paille, turning around.

Ivy looked in the same direction as us.

What was causing the smoke was a horse with a man on it.

Unlike a horse whose body is usually seen, it is not a military horse, a dumb horse, or a horse that was beautiful for equestrian purposes.

"Do you have a horse specific to this region?"

I worked for Ivy.

And, is it unique?

"Ah... I'm good at running in the desert, that's all."

"Yes, but...."

I see.

I nodded and looked back at the dust again.

While we were doing this, a group of horseback riders came over here and surrounded us before they could say anything.

The number is... double horses, roughly thirty men on horses.

Everyone is dressed like a rogue.

I looked around.

There was only one man out there with that vibe.

The man has one eye crushed and has a large scar that traverses his face diagonally.

"Some kind of bonbonbon?"

The man looked at us and said that.

"Who are you?"

"I just want you to split the liquor bill a little bit."

I see. Robbery.

I nodded small.

They look exactly like them.

"You shouldn't say such terrible things."

"What if I don't stop talking?"

"There's only one drought in the vast desert."

I see.

"Heh, heh, master."

Ivy trembled and screamed at me with frightened eyes.

"Don't worry."

"But..."

"Well, keep an eye out."

I laughed and turned my head toward the bandits.

"Leviathan"

I called out the name of Leviathan without putting out the Magic Sword.

Ha

"Don't kill me."

Sincerely.

Leviathan said yes - just after.

Around my body--a water column blew out of my whole body.

The thickness was about the amount of water cannon that children used to play with, but the momentum was unparalleled.

It was like a needle of water - it blew over a hundred at a time, piercing the limbs of all the bandits in an instant.

Wow!

Gyaaaaa!

All the men fell horse-drawn by a water needle.

As I ordered, Leviathan did not kill anyone.

Some of them were wounded to death, but they didn't kill anyone anyway.

"Wow...."

The words leaked out of Ivy's mouth when she witnessed it in an instant.
