Risou no Himo Seikatsu

Chapter VIII 2 [Receiving Demonic Props]

Then a few days later.

In one room of the royal palace, the two kingdoms were meeting together.

From the kingdom of Karpua, the queen Aura and the king's mate Sanjiro. From the two kingdoms of Shalova Gilbert are Prince Francesco and Princess Bona.

At present, all those with the title of royalty present in the Kingdom of Karpua will be assembled on this occasion.

The name is supposed to be an apology for Prince Francesco's impossibility in the meantime to let him into the rear palace and a thank you for using the 'secret stone of healing' for Prince Carlos, but the real purpose is not that.

In fact, when Princess Bona says, "I'm sorry about the other day," Aura says, "No, this is the one who wears a precious' secret stone of healing 'for my child, and there are no words of gratitude. This thank you will always end sooner or later".

Princess Bona, originally serious, had hit that one drop in her prior written interactions, and Aura, who knows what's behind Prince Francesco, is not going to twitch that one back from the edge.

To that end, the talks between the four royal families will soon move to the following objectives:

"Are we done talking? It's over, isn't it? So, this is my errand next.

This is a finished 'Future Cost' demon prop. I thank His Majesty Aura for his cooperation. "

That being said, Prince Francesco took the little goldsmith out of his pocket and put him on the table.

"Well, this is it. Wonderful."

"Wow. This is brilliant."

Aura and Yoshijiro also inadvertently climb out onto the table and see themselves in their little witchcraft. This is the first time I have seen the finished product, not to mention Sanjiro, who was no touches at all, and Aura, who helped me many times to put magic into it.

The size is only enough to ride over two fingers. More specifically, it just neatly covers the light-water beads provided by Yoshijiro with a positive-octahedral metal skeleton.

Is the metal skeleton made of pure gold? It emits a sparkling glow.

Simple, but also brilliant overall shaping. At least to Yoshijiro's eyes, all the thicknesses of the metal skeleton look even, and the holes that glance at the beeballs inside only look like square triangles the exact same size for all eight.

Simple, but that's why it was a brilliant move with no deception of skill.

To the admiration of Queen Aura and Good Jiro, Prince Francesco makes his nose pick with pleasure, yet justifies his accountability as a technician.

"The only thing that actually works as a demon prop is the transparent treasure balls that His Majesty Zenzilow has given way to inside, and the skeleton outside is the protection of the treasure balls.

The true sphere-shaped demon prop loses its function as a demon prop just because it has a slightly larger scratch, so we engineered it not to scratch easily.

But as you can see, it can never be scratched, so be careful what you do. "

"Oh, okay"

Aura, who had listened to Prince Francesco's explanation with a serious expression, nodded small and reached for his magic prop.

"Hmm. You're small"

"Yes, but the functionality was just as you requested, and almost everything was done.

There are in large part 'disposable', 'auto-recoverable' and 'manual recoverable' props, but this strongly hits the third 'manual recoverable'.

To use it, touch your finger directly on the treasure balls in its skeleton and chant, in magical language, 'I offer my ○ ○ day's food'. ○ ○ is the number of days of magic you dedicate.

You can also "add on" as requested. So it's possible to use one day's magic today, one day's magic in a week's time, and store two days' magic together.

Conversely, when you want to use the magic of "Future Price" for your magic props, touch the treasure balls directly with your fingers, just as you do when you occasionally, and say "I exercise" in magic. So, the conditions for using the magic props are in place.

However, we were unable to "extract small pieces of magic" as you requested. So as soon as I say 'I exercise', the magic that I have had until then will be released collectively, whether for a day or a year, so use it with caution. "

Only when describing the magic props, will it be serious, with the chilli and tight look that Yoshijiro sees for the first time, Prince Francesco finished that explanation with a hazy tone that struck and changed from the irresistible tone of his day.

"That's amazing. His Royal Highness Francesco has confirmed with this eye the rumor that he is superb as a" conferring magician "and a" jeweler "to create such a sophisticated magic object with such brilliant shapes."

In a polite tone, to Sanjiro, who praises excessively, Prince Francesco,

"No, you can illuminate it when you get that much praise. But if you say so, it was worth the effort."

And he regained the innocent smile he was accustomed to seeing, and put his head on like it lit up.

"Um, I got a brilliant piece. Thank you again, Your Highness Francesco."

Aura, on the other hand, while maintaining her flat voice and calm expression, her inner heart was still impressed by the power of the magic prop in front of her.

It's a bit of a necklace that releases all the magic you can put into it when you use it, but the significance of this magic item is nevertheless extremely great.

With this magic prop, an effective use may also arise for "Time Retrospective" or "Dimensional Blocking Great Junction" where the magic used was too great to be used nearly.

What was unfortunate was that I couldn't spare the magic I'd saved in The Future Cost. If I could do that, I would be able to use the more frequently used magic, "Momentary Travel," even in space-time magic, but everything doesn't seem so convenient in the world.

(But if we can mass-produce "Future Cost" magic tools in the future, we might be able to do something similar)

Naturally, we may say that there is no chance that the conferring magicians of the two kingdoms will 'mass produce' demonic artifacts for the Karpua kingdom.

And, inevitably, the only way to plan mass production is to teach Prince Carlos to grant magic, or to have Sanjiro create a usable bastard of grant magic.

In my child with Aura, the blood of the Karpua royal family is too thick for me to basically wake up to the gifted magic talent.

Apart from the story if, like Carlos, we are blessed with enough magic to use both magic, it would be too optimistic to assume that the bearers of such a breaking magic will be born both in the immediate line.

Now, Aura knows no other bearer of magic than this blonde prince sitting in front of her until today, comparable to Carlos.

On the contrary, Aura herself, who has only about 70% to 80% magic compared to them, is the most magical person to know, except for those two.

Thinking about it, I can see how ridiculous it is to expect more magic than Carlos after his second child.

Continue the technological development of glass manufacturing, so that in the future we can mass produce beads.

At the same time, Yoshijiro is asked to marry more than one side chamber, to make as many bastards as possible within the listening range of the control, and to mass produce the users of "space-time magic" and "grant magic".

Simply considering national empowerment, it is an option that should be transferred to execution without any hesitation.

Regardless, reality is not that simple, and there are many things to consider, such as the issue of a foreign relative who has power by having a side chamber, or diplomatic issues with the two kingdoms that take the form of blood magic stolen.

(Still, you might want to think that my son-in-law doesn't have a single sideroom ahead of him anymore)

And when Aura came to the conclusion that she felt a tingling pain in her heart,

"Excuse me, Sire Aura. It's time, would you mind?"

Knocking on the entrance door, it was the familiar detailed middle-aged man - Secretary Fabio - who came in.

Compared to the other three, Aura, who is overwhelmingly stuck in business, has been a calculator to get through this meeting from the start.

"It's that time already, okay. His Highness Francesco, His Highness Bona. I'm sorry about this.

Zenzilow, I asked for the rest. "

To Aura, who will take a seat, the good guys will also stand up on the spot.

"It was fun today, Sire Aura"

"Thank you for your time, Sire Aura"

Prince Francesco, who smiles briefly and thanks him, and Princess Bona, who bows her head as seriously as ever.

"Yes, I'll take care of the rest, Your Majesty"

And then, being dropped off by the voice of her husband, who speaks respectfully to herself, who will never be heard in the rear palace, Aura was to leave the room behind.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

It was one of the rooms of the royal palace in which Aura was most familiar - Aura's office - that Aura left the aftermath to Sanjiro and followed the scene one foot away.

"Ugh..."

A reflexively gloomy sigh leaks from Aura's mouth as she lowered her back to the chair she was used to sitting in.

I'm not the secretary of the chairman who misses such an exposition of the queen's emotions.

"How have you been, Sire Aura? I don't know, keep an unfit sigh."

Aura remembers a little more nostalgia than anger for words she doesn't dress in Secretary Fabio's teeth, which she hadn't heard in a long time because she had lent them to Yoshijiro all these days.

"No, what. Thanks again, I'm becoming a burden to my son-in-law. Honestly, I'm a little disgusted."

With that said, Aura made a noise, leaving her back behind the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling.

To the weak voice of the queen, the secretary, who boasts a faceless expression on a daily basis on the occasion of the mask, jumps up a picky, one-eyebrow and says in a teasing tone.

"Oh no, is this love? So scared to piss off Master Zenzilow?

Aura, who was an obvious teasing word but narrowed her eyes in a grumpy manner, answers with a cheek wand, as she pronounces herself.

"Oh, I'm scared. Honestly, I'm more scared than anything at the moment. Don't you understand the fear of pissing off your son-in-law?

"Ha? Well, you know, the better you know every day, the more out of hand you get when you explode your emotions,"

To Secretary Fabio, who returns a response that is rare and lacks guidelines, Aura returns the words of denial with a voice that seeps a little superiority.

"No, no. That is not such a raw and gentle issue.

Look, let's talk about this, for example.

Let's just say you pissed Manuel Marquez off. In this case, it has nothing to do with whether the legitimacy of the thing is on me that pissed me off or beyond that pissed me off. But anyway, if we don't get Count Marquez in the mood, there will be a lot of negative repercussions for national politics. In that case, if you're in my shoes, what do you take to get Count Marquez in the mood?

I don't know, but even if it's quite realistic, secretary Fabio leans his neck and gives an immediate answer.

"Count Marquez's in a good mood, is it? Right. Whatever it is as soon as possible, it would be quickest to exempt the Count from paying taxes on the Crown for a certain period of time.

- That person, for better or worse, will judge things by their merits. "

Was Secretary Fabio's answer satisfactory, Aura gives the following example when she nods one.

"So what would Pujol Gijen do, not Count Marquez? Under the same conditions, if we do not repair our relationship with General Pujols as soon as possible, it will affect the rise and fall of the country. What kind of hand do you hit when you do that?

"Are you General Pujol? That would only be the 'Marshal' position anymore. He's an ambitious man, but his ambitions are better directed as a nobleman than as a soldier."

This, too, seems to have been a convincing answer, and Aura, who grinned, bumps the last question.

"Well, I guess so. That concludes the question of fate.

Same conditions as the two of us right now. If my son-in-law, Zenzilow, is the one you really need to repair your relationship to as soon as possible, what are you in the mood for?

…………

Secretary Fabio remained silent for a while.

…………

But whether you think about it or not, secretary Fabio didn't seem to have the answer to that question in his head.

"It's surrender. I can't think of anything."

I shrugged that thin shoulder and declared my defeat.

Aura deepens her grin and says.

"What? You don't get it, do you? You wouldn't think of that, would you? Neither do I. Speaking so far, you would have already figured out why I feared so much about pissing off my son-in-law.

No, I don't. When I piss off Zenzilow, when I screw up the relationship, if I bring this up, they'll listen to me at the very least. I don't have one of those bills here. "

"Sure, I don't know about you either, Jen, who's not so adamant about anything"

Secretary Fabio has to admit to all this.

I'm not asking for wealth. I don't even show my eyes to my position. There's not a single side of collectors who stick to something specific. It's not that I'm not interested in women, but I'm blind to women other than my wife, Aura, and I rather refuse to take the side room with all my might.

"When you piss me off, there's nothing effective to scold. So while you're at it, if you screw up the relationship, your opponent has a lot of negative effects on national politics. Is it so weird to be afraid of damaging such a human mood?

"No, this was a silence. Sorry, sir."

The secretary honestly apologized to the queen.

"So, what were your plans for work today? Was that a response to a petition from the Eastern nobles?

Aura, who cuts up the chat and tries to get to work, remembers from the bottom of her memory and says so, but Secretary Fabio,

"No. I was planning on doing that, but in the morning, General Pujol, who is on a group dragon crusade in the streets of salt, sent me 'Little Flying Dragon'. Look through you first."

That said, arrange four small cylinders with thin dragon skin paper on Aura's executive desk.

As is often the case with the "Little Feilong Flight," it seems that all the letters in there have the same content, just in case.

"General Pujol has been in touch with you in Little Fei Long? I don't care what you think, there's just something unforeseen going on."

Reflectively tongue-in-cheek, Aura takes one small cylinder with a cloudy expression, spreads its contents and glances through it.

…………

Aura through her eyes distorts her mouth in a grumpy manner.

"Your Majesty? Again, was it a ferocity report?

to the inquiring secretary, Aura exhaled one,

"Oh, when it comes to ferocity, it's ferocity.

Pujol Gijen failed to crusade the group dragon. To be precise, I made the decision that, at one point, I was out of hand with the force at my disposal. Requesting reinforcements. "

"Oh my..."

Having heard the words, Secretary Fabio opens his yarny eyes and reveals his surprises, which are extremely rare.

But secretary Fabio can't react either.

So unexpected.

Anyone in this country, such as Pujol Gijen, who leads an elite unit just below, the Dragon Bow Cavalry, and fails in every carnivorous dragon crusade, is suspicious of his ears.

Aura shrugs her shoulders small as she pounds the little dragon skin paper in her hand.

"If what's written here is true, it's not Pujol Gijen's fault. If I'm in this situation, I'll ask for reinforcements."

"If General Pujol and His Majesty are about to say so, I guess they are. So, do you want to arrange reinforcements?

"Oh. The purpose is a massive mountain hunt. Quality should be more than constant. It's the numbers that matter. Except now is the worst time to inflict human harm.

I'd like to lighten up the burden on the soldiers. We should provide more supplies for the cars and supplies. "

"That doesn't make the burden of the treasury foolish."

"I know. But it's a necessary burden."

To Aura's words, he was the secretary of Fabio, who had often remained silent, but eventually he would take the lead as he was convinced.

"I understand. However, I will tell you more later, but the carnivorous dragon exorcism has become very important."

"Not at all. I've never seen a Hopeful Observation shoot. It's a tough world."

That's what Aura said, exhaling loudly to take a deep breath.
