Haumea and Cole headed to the reception room, unable to hide the tension.

It is a special room that is only allowed to be used by someone who needs consideration for an interview, such as a nobleman.

I didn't think I'd have anything to do with such a room for the rest of my life. Even in my long life so far, I've never set foot.

"Ugh, my stomach is hurting"

"Are you nervous about elves?"

"Of course! Besides, the other person is a resident ambassador. Acting for His Majesty the King of the Union of the Three North, so to speak. 'Cause you're too different."

"If you do something bad, it becomes an international problem -"

"Stop, really!?

Regardless, the words of the guild officials who are guiding us are no mistake. If we take a bad step here, we have full potential to develop into an international problem.

More than being an adventurer, the guild will take that butt wipe, but it will be uncomfortable in the future.

From now on, if you make a mistake, it can also be directly linked to the end of the adventurer's life.

"Ugh, but I can't soak it up."

"Be prepared. This is the reception room."

"Yes......"

With a sad look, Haumea reaches for the door.

Cole slapped the shoulder with a pomp and spoke with ease.

"Don't worry. The adventurer would have done it long enough already. It shouldn't be too bad to retire."

"I wanted to travel a little easier."

"That's good again, too. I'm talking about when I made fun of you."

"I see you're trying to comfort me. I can't say it's a success."

"Sorry, you don't have a good mouth"

But the word broke the tension, and Haumea knocks on the door with a somewhat bright look.

Aristocratic opponents, so politely twice, and twice more. If it's normal, you can just beat it three times. Twice in emergency situations such as toilets.

I had heard that it seemed like a formal courtesy to repeat twice.

"It's Haumea."

"Go ahead."

A heavy man's voice answers the call. The voice doesn't sound in a very good mood.

It can be a desire to escape for a moment, but if you imitate it like that, that's what makes you a questioner.

Haumea is ready and opens the door.

Beautiful room, simple but clean, unlike the room we use every day. There is a polished marble table and a sofa across the street.

An old gentleman sat there, caressing his gray-haired hair carefully.

"Are you Mr. Haumea?

"Yeah, this is my buddy Cole."

"Was I? My name is Baltic, and I am the ambassador accredited to Raum. Um... excuse me, is that definitely you?

"Huh? Yeah, I do, though?

Ambassadors looking at her suspiciously.

I lean my neck small so as not to be rude, not weighing its intentions.

"No, excuse me. I didn't suspect - you didn't. To be honest, it's not what I was hearing, and I suspected it."

"It's not the same story, is it?

"No, I don't think it's stingy to go into detail... right, please call me first"

Encouraged, unable to say no, Haumea and Cole sit back on the couch.

And at the same time, the door is knocked, and officials bring tea and tea treats and arrange them on the table.

Haumea and the others did not get a glimpse of it, and the sogginess and the fact that they left the room were all stronger expressions of their desire not to be involved.

"First of all, I'm sorry I called you. We, the Union of the Three North, are looking for one woman. The woman was named Haumea."

"Um, I don't really have much to do with the Northern Trinity..."

"I guess so. The woman was heard to be a beautifully eyed girl with shiny blue and silver hair. And it wasn't even an elf."

"If that were the case, it would surely be different people. But why the woman?

Haumea thought of Nicole for a moment when she heard of her blue and silver hair, but her eyes are red and bi odd eyes. I don't think I'm going to misstate the distinctive features so far.

On the question returned, Ambassador Baltic put a wrinkle between his eyebrows and did a troubling trick.

Haumea is in a hurry to see if her question offended her opponent.

"Oh, you don't have to answer that impossibly..."

"No, I wish you had done enough on this occasion and you didn't explain anything to me. You don't even get a look at this one. I'll explain, but if I can, I'd like to hope without saying anything."

"... ok"

I can't just cut it out here and say, 'Fine then'.

Haumea urged ahead, hoping it wasn't a dangerous story.

As a matter of fact, my king, His Majesty Elliot, was named Haumea.

"Your Majesty's Thinker!? So you're the future queen?

"No, that person disappeared from before His Majesty. Apparently, he was Master Maxwell's secret agent."

"I don't know what that is..."

King of the Union of the Three North and one of the six heroes, Maxwell.

I wonder if I can talk to such important people in the world about the issues they are involved in.

Even though he is an awesome detective in the first place just to be Maxwell's secret detective, if he is also King Elliot's thinker, he escapes first if he is himself.

I also wonder if that woman disappeared because of the area.

"To be honest, I'm very sorry... but I think I know what it's like to get away with it"

"Well, I guess so. It's called the woman's position, it's called the back shield, and we, as well, are worried about dealing with it. And the woman, she really, really stood up."

"Are you so strong?

"Strength, too, but they don't let you grasp any traces. Some stories I saw in Raum, show up in the north"

"You're just disgraceful."

"Yeah, if you're so mobile, you'll see people who want to exploit you."

"I guess. So keep it a secret."

"Yes."

"Okay, I will never take this situation out of my mouth"

"That's good. Then I'm with this. Your Majesty will be sorry, but I have to tell you that you are different."

That's what I say. Ambassador Baltic taking a seat. Haumea hastily follows it as well.

"So, so are we."

"Yes, thank you for your time today"

"No, anytime to this extent!

"Hmm? How about some tea next time?

"Give me a break about that"

It is very unsatisfactory for mental health to be summoned over and over again to a person in a key position in such a country.

I thought so from the bottom of my heart, and Haumea and Cole left.
