Shinka no Mi

[Archer Castle] in Terber, King of the Kingdom of Wimbledon.

In the office there, Lanze was working as usual.

"Damn it... I'm not finished at all... this is why I didn't want to be king..."

Looking at the paperwork piled up in front of him, Lanze murmured unexpectedly.

Because Lanze's father, his father, had only Lanze's son, and he became king in the form of Lanze's succession.

Nevertheless, Lanze's abilities are very high and he is very good as a king.

As Lanze was fighting over the papers, the door of the room was knocked by surprise.

Hmm? Come in.

"Excuse me."

And it was Florio, Louis' brother, who came in.

I wasn't expecting to see Florio in particular, so I was a little surprised to see Lanze away from the paperwork.

"Oh, Florio, what's up?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to report on the current training situation."

"Ah... Ruiz isn't here right now, and I asked you to.So, what do you say? "

"That's right... I've had the Magic Troop for a long time, so I won't tell you anything about it... General soldiers are getting stronger every day. Definitely."

"Well, I can tell from your perspective, how dramatically things have changed."

"Yes, because of Alliance HQ."

"... are you happy with this?"

I felt like I couldn't say anything about Florio's words.

"Hah... recently, the Kaiser Empire's strange actions have caused the soldiers to work hard, and you've never moved on to become stronger... no, I have a headache considering the negative impact on the citizens...Well, in the Kaiser Empire, they got a way to artificially create a "transcendent."

"Is that... true?"

"True. I'm sending George's bastard on a reconnaissance mission to the Kaiser Empire, and that's what he reported.That's why I'm sure of it. Even in my country, there is only Louis the Transcendent.Even the Black Knight is not yet a Transcender. You, too. "

"Yes...."

In Lanze's words, Florio unexpectedly darkened her expression.

"Hey, don't be so depressed! I don't even know if artificially turning into a 'transcendent' can really be done at no cost, and Louis has been flying here lately.After seeing Seiichi mainly..... "

"As long as my sister is trustworthy.And by meeting Seiichi, my sister is very alive, and I'm happy as a brother. "

Lanze also smiled bitterly at Florio, who said so with a gentle expression.

With Seiichi's topic here, Lanze remembers a lot.

"Well, did Seiichi say the princess of the eastern country arrive safely?"

"Princess?"

"Ah, he did everything again.Recently, he got tired and managed to get some rest, so he went to Susan. Is that where the samurai from the eastern country are?He said he picked him up. "

"I already have too much information....."

"Hmm, I heard what the guy who picked it up asked me to do, and I got caught up in a disturbance in the eastern country, and I saved one country."

"What is it about saving the country somehow!?"

"Listen to me...."

Lanze also unexpectedly held her head while explaining herself.

"Seiichi said that he saved the country, that he solved the problem that had just become involved in the way things were done without saying it like that... but you can only say that he saved the country no matter what he asks..."

"Ah, as usual, it seems like it's just a mess...."

Florio herself did not have the opportunity to see Seiichi's strengths in that way, but she saw a single scale of her abilities as she helped her to acquire the skill of temporarily cursing and seeing the scene of de-cursing Lanze.

In contrast, Lanze was irrevocably aware that Seiichi was an irresistible existence, such as having his curse lifted, meeting with the demonic kingdom, and connecting with Zeanos.

"Anyway, as a result of Seiichi's activities in the eastern country, she was able to connect with the princess of that country and live in our country."

"How does that happen!? I can't believe a princess from one country lives in another country so easily in the first place...."

"I had a lot to say, but apparently there's a reason for that.If anything happens, Seiichi will solve it, and it was troublesome to think, so I allowed it! "

"You're already giving up....."

"After engaging with Seiichi, we've been heading in an increasingly unparalleled direction in this country.Zeanos and all these amazing people are moving in one after another... what?Is this country a refuge? It's fine! "

"Well, if it turns out to be in the interest of the country...."

Florio could only laugh bitterly at Lanze, who screamed in a fuzzy mood.

Florio then realizes that the ring attached to Lanze's left hand is shining.

"Well, Your Majesty, your ring seems to be shining..."

"Ahhh!?"

As Florio pointed out, Lanze looked at the ring and the stone on his ring finger glowed red.

Looking at the light, Lanze changes the bloodline.

"Elemina!?"

"! What's wrong with Elemina!?"

"This is the Guiding Stone! If something happened to him, why...?"

Lance is confused by sudden events.

Lanze kept each other's magical "guiding stones" in order to get a glimpse of where and what was going on in Jeremiah.

Yemena herself is an S-class adventurer, and she has not been exposed to such danger and has continued to do so.

But for the first time here, the "guiding stone" was lit to warn of the dangers of Jeremiah.

"What do you mean, what happened to Jeremina?"

"----How are you... Your Majesty?"



When darkness seeped into a part of the room, a man appeared from there... Genpel.

Immediately before it appeared without any sign, Florio moved to cover Lanze and stood on his cane.

However, Florio showed no signs and was still stunned by the presence in front of him, which appeared under Lance in an instant, with a cold sweat.

In the meantime, Lanze stares calmly at the other person and asks.

"... who are you?"

"Oops, you don't seem to know me.Well, isn't your wife telling you about my organization? "

[Demon Order], huh?

Exactly! Once again... I am a god of the [Magic Order], Genpel of the Mirror. I am not the only one who contacted His Majesty this time... about his wife. "

"No way... Temee! Where is Elemina?"

Genpel kept laughing at the fierce Lanze.

Don't rush me like that.I don't have to hurry... Your Majesty's wife, but as you can see, I keep it here. "

"Elemina....!"

When Genpel snapped his fingers, a video was projected into the space.

It was a run-down, unconscious image of Jeremiah being held captive.

"Temee....!"

Your Majesty's anger is justified, but since she resisted, we had to imitate it roughly.Well, when you grow up like this, you can rest assured that I treat you with respect. "

"... what's the purpose?"

Lanze murmured in anger and Genpel laughed in disgust.

I appreciate the speed of understanding.There's only one thing I want.I will dedicate my strength to this kingdom of Wimbledon... no, this kingdom. "

!?

"What are you talking about...!"

When Florio screamed so that he could release the magic right away, Genpel continued.

What does that mean? This Wimbledon kingdom has met with the Devil Kingdom before, right?They let us interfere there... somehow, the messengers are useless.Even the other messengers scattered all over the place will be defeated one after the other… That's why we need to replenish our forces.There are a lot of good soldiers in this country.It's convenient.

"... if you want combat power, you can go to the Kaiser Empire.They say 'transcenders' are everywhere. "

Ha...... is it possible that you are trapped in the concept of level and are a little stronger than level 500?Besides, if you come under us, you can create as many [transcenders] as you want.That's why we should seek out soldiers from this country who are formerly strong. "

……

Besides, isn't it strange that there is still no country on this planet with the [Demon Church] at the top?Therefore, I wanted to make this kingdom of Wimbledon a sacrifice to the devil first. "

Although I understood Genpel's request, Lanze couldn't accept it.

If you accept Genpel's request here, you will be under the umbrella of the [Magic Order], and you will offer the people with Lanze's personal feelings.

Even if Jeremiah were a queen and an S-class adventurer, she couldn't offer her country to help her.

Nevertheless, Genpel laughs when he doesn't know what will happen to Jeremiah if he refuses and is in a state of poverty.

"Fufufu... I'm kind.I'm not asking you to answer now.I'll give you a week's notice.Surely there was a [cave of mountain gods] in this country?If you come up with an answer, come that far.If you will swallow my request, Your Majesty's wife will return safely.Of course, I can raise all my forces to steal them.I will not escape or hide.It saves me the trouble of finding it if you bring it together.Not only your wife and majesty, but the country itself will disappear then? Huhahahahaha! "



"Niflheim!"

Florio finally unleashed an unbearable spell on the laughing Genpel.

It was the most powerful magic of ice attributes, and instead of Genpel, it was the power to make most of the room ice pickle in an instant.

Without even avoiding such magic, Genpel, who received it, smiles and is pickled in ice, and crumbles.

But....

Ha ha ha ha! I'm looking forward to seeing you next time ─

Despite the shattered image of Genpel in front of her, Genpel's laughter echoed in the room, and eventually the voice completely disappeared.

At the same time, the scattered body of Genpel collapses like sand and disappears.

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry, emotionally..."

"... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."

The power to appear anywhere without even being sensed by Florio, and the mysterious ability that just happened.

Even after defeating Elemina, it turns out he has more power than an S-Class Adventurer.

Even if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Wimbledon are strong, we don't know how far we can go against such mysterious opponents.

Florio told Lanze with a serious look on his head.

"Let's form a crusader for now.Fortunately, the designated [Cave of the Mountain God] is near here, and there is a week's respite, so it should be in time for Louis and his family to return. "

"No, if it's a crowd, it'll stimulate the mountains."

"Ah...."

The [cave of the mountain gods] designated by Genpel was a supermassive monster, located on the back of the existence commonly known as the "mountain".

As its name suggests, the size of the "mountain" is not unusual, and it usually functions as a normal mountain, and even though it is the back of a monster, it was able to obtain various benefits.

Some of the benefits include the monster nature of the mountain, which has been sleeping on the spot for a long time, and when a large number of people try to pass over it, they wake up from the annoyance and attack those who hinder their sleep.

The monster "Mountain", which does not cause any harm if it is not stimulated and grants only grace, was sometimes mentioned as the guardian god of the Kingdom of Wimbledon, but it was very inconvenient in the current situation.

If we deploy a large number of troops to retrieve Jeremiah from Genpel, that alone could awaken the Mountain and destroy the terrible Terval.

Then a small elite rescue team would be needed, but I didn't think there was a very small number of people I could deal with, such as Florio's magic and his ability to defeat Elemina.

"What am I supposed to do..."

Lanze sat down without strength and held his head.

◇ ◆ ◇

"----ufu! I'm not happy with the rest!"

"I didn't sign up..."

After that, Moo-chan was forcibly taken by the Gassles and registered as such.

And with Al among us, the exam was easy to complete and we were able to register successfully.

No, it's done.

"This is the rest of the Alliance Card...!"

Lifting the guild card you just received, Moo-chan brightens her eyes.

I thought the registration would be done only by Gojin-san and Moonshadow-san, but Moo-chan also strongly wanted to do it, so I decided to register all three as a result.

Moo-chan had blocked her mind until now and thought she didn't know anything about the world, but she had cleared all the exams by herself.

The only thing I didn't like was using my strength for chores, but I easily cleared the crusade that I thought was going to be the biggest problem on my own.

Because, for the first time, I saw Moo-chan's power, but I could really create something from nothing or, on the contrary, eliminate what was there.

At first, the slime that was the subject of the crusade test was wiped out in an instant, and we were surprised, but we couldn't prove that it was defeated, so there was another way to crush it.

It created fire and lightning like magic and knocked it down by throwing it into the slime.

However, unlike magic, it didn't consume and produce anything, it produced fire and lightning at no cost, and manipulated and defeated it. Not at all.

"Yes, Seiichi! I want to thank you!"

"Oh, thank you? To whom?"

"Of course, not the king of this country!"

"Mm, Moo-sama!? That's just not possible!"

"Ah... let's go then"

"Can you do it!?"

Moonshadow looked at my words. [M]

"Isn't it strange!? Who is Seiichi?!It's not normal to see a royal family so easily!? "

Eh? Seiichi isn't normal.

"It's Salia, huh?"

Why do you react strangely when I'm normal!?

"Hmm... this is all. I can only say it's because I'm Seiichi."

"... nn. It's because I'm Seiichi Oniichan."

"It's the Lord!"

"That's not the answer!?"

"Ah, ahahaha...."

Whereas Al and the others answered as if they were blown out, Moonshadow just looked puzzled.

However, Mr. Moonshadow's reaction was inherently correct, and there was no way that ordinary people could easily meet the royal family.

However, in my case, various events have overlapped, and Mr. Lanze has done well.We can't go directly to Lanze, but if we go to the royal castle, a soldier will take us there.

"Well, I don't know if I can really meet him, but maybe there's a soldier I know for a moment, so let's ask him."

"Oh! That's Seiichi!"

"After meeting with Seiichi, my values and common sense will be destroyed....."

"It's such an irrational chunk...."

"Let's be spoiled!?"

As for me, it's just normal.I'm just in trouble and being destroyed on my own...!

Take Muu and the others to the castle at once.

But....

"Is that it? It's kind of noisy..."

I arrived at the entrance to the castle, but there were always people like the gatekeepers standing there to greet and respond to me, and the gatekeepers, including the gatekeepers, were in a bad mood.

Besides, everyone's expression seems kind of serious...

"Is something wrong?"

"Come on...."

I don't know myself, so I stumbled across Florio because I couldn't answer Al's question.

"Ah, Mr. Florio!"

"Eh?... ah, Seiichi!?"

When Florio found me, he opened his eyes and came here early enough.

And when you grab my arm...

"I'm sorry, Seiichi, I'll borrow you!"

Heh?

Huh?

"Come on, this way!"

Ma, are you taking me with you again?

Just like when I first came to this castle, I was dragged away, and I screamed.
