Three days later. Safely proclaimed safety, including Adventurer Alliance and Lords.
"Now you can finally go back to Empire City."
"Oh yeah..."
I wonder if we'll be talking about the pageant again when we get back to Imperial City... I really don't like all that.
Although it is normal world to be recited by how many aristocrats and surround multiple side chambers, the original Japanese. Ethics really makes me work.
If you were reading a game or a lanobe, you'd be like, "Yay! It's Harlem!" I may be pleased, but when I try to actually get in that position, I get disgusted by the complexity of the relationship.
If it's still my case, it's officially two of us, Charles and Al, no... Natalie could be excluded.
I don't think it's a problem because we're both good inside, but I don't even want to increase it any more if I can.
That's not going to happen either, and I can't help but leak my sigh.
I'd like to hide in the clouds again around the Kingdom of Salandir... Appointments have already been cancelled.
As I relaxed and thought in the room, the door knocked.
"Everyone is waiting outside."
I get a report from the maid who came in, and I get up.
This is your journey back to Imperial City. I wish we were alone, but this time it will be an action with soldiers.
It still doesn't seem to be free movement unless something special happens.
Outside the mansion, three people stood in front of a carriage with an imperial crest on it.
He still has to show his position as a nobleman in nominal terms. I'm actually more comfortable riding my carriage......
Mansion squire including Jade, Leese and Myra for drop-off. And the Adventurer Alliance Master.
I shake hands disappointingly with the Alliance Master.
"It really helped that His Excellency the Marquis was in this city. I can't imagine how much damage I would have done if I hadn't. I really appreciate it."
"Because it was just a good patrol. Keep in touch with the Jades from now on."
The Alliance Master gives me a slightly unpleasant look when I tell him to stay close to Jade.
You hate me so much by now...... Jade is......
"Jade. From now on, we're going to try to incorporate the opinions of the Alliance Master as well. The Adventurer Guild is what the city needs."
Telling him to teach his child, Jade honestly shakes his head vertically.
"also, of course, because it is the word of His Excellency the Marquis"
"And that's what Reese says, too, right?
"………… Yes……"
He still doesn't like Reese to give his opinion. But I think it would be safe to have Reese about this city.
As an adventurer, I'm the best in this city, and I have a lot of trust from my guild. The inhabitants admire me.
"Thank you too, Liese. Thanks to you I was able to save this city."
He is not dressed as the usual adventurer for drop-off, but as an aristocratic courtier. They still lay low on Jade for being an adventurer.
"It's me. Please come back to this city. I'll ask you when I get a chance to go to Imperial City, too."
Something is about to blow out unexpectedly because of the different tone than usual.
Cohon and cough to delude, shaking hands in turn.
In the wake of all the drop-off words, whisper to Shall heading to the carriage.
"Why don't you go alone with the Kingdom of Salandir like this?
At the same time as my words, I get my arms grabbed by Shall and Al.
"Of course not."
I got into the carriage with my arm firmly grabbed so I couldn't escape.
... Is there still anything to be admitted?
Even if we do return to Empire City after this, there are still many things left to do after this one.
It is also necessary to have His Majesty check the documents for the actual handover to the commercial guild headquarters of the Empire of Sifancy.
I also need to check the letters that might be piled up in the mansion.
... I have no choice. Let's just put up with it for a little while. All we have to do is find time again to get out of Empire City.
"Oh, by the way, Master Towya affixes his face painting to each gate so that he doesn't escape the Empire by himself, so it's not easy to escape."
... what is that...? I've never heard that before. I didn't think Charles was so close to getting ready.
"Oh, Toya. Even on my journey to the Imperial City, I desire the Lord's cuisine."
... Everyone in the carriage blew up in Natalie's words that still didn't read the air.
◇ ◇ ◇
The journey to the Imperial City could be reached without anything.
Arrive on schedule and watch at the castle. Normally it takes a few days to sign up, but this time it is a flood of dungeons or a confrontation between the brave men of the kingdom of Generation.
He also wanted to hear from His Majesty early, so he canceled all appointments and held talks.
Inside the conference room within the royal castle, several important figures were seated by the operation of the country, including the emperor.
Me, Shall and Natalie sat in their seats, Al put on his Kingsguard knight clothes and held back behind Shall.
"- I mean. And this will be the letter."
I gave an account of what had happened so far, and from dimensional storage (storage), I took out two documents for my country and two documents to be submitted to the Commercial Alliance headquarters and put them on the table.
"- I didn't expect to meet with the brave... and Lord Towya is stronger than the brave..."
The country's executives also have an incredible look on their face.
Anyone would think that. Even the Knights, Al's father, who has supported this country for years, lost to the brave.
Even though he had the strength to take back the Imperial capital, he captured the prince with his hands. If I had accompanied the Emperor on his escape, he would have known my strength, but only the three sires saw it. Oh, was Alice there too...
"So as for the 500 million g to be paid from the kingdom of genera..."
As well, Schal, who exchanged contracts with him, gives hope about the division.
"I've already made up my mind about that. 300 million G shall be the cost of the reconstruction of Arkland. 100 million G shall be the fee for the commercial guild and the national administrative fee, and the remaining 100 million G shall be - - the bounty to the Marquis of Xaraghi. Anyone have a problem with that?
No one disputes the emperor's proposal.
Honestly, I think I can donate the full amount to Arkland...
"Nobody seems to have any objections. Then arrange it that way."
"Yes, sir."
Is it the treasurer, nodding aloud and taking notes?
"Nevertheless, when I can stand as a feat in such a short time, I worry about how to... What do you say we become dukes?
"I refuse! It's still enough..."
His Majesty says with a laugh, but his eyes are not laughing. If you reply poorly, you could be scolded as such.
"I said, I cured the flood of dungeons, and made him drink more boiled water against the brave men of that kingdom of Generation. There's no way I'm doing anything. Hmmm...... right. - Let me take the form of a medal... I wish there was something else..."
There is a wide range of recitals, lords, and money in reward, but in some cases it is called a medal. The medal is not financially worthwhile, but will be made known to the people as an honor.
"If that's the case, I'll take it"
If I refused everything, I wouldn't move on. I really want to get back to the mansion earlier than that and take my time with Ferris. He was also generous in taking out the guild house (house) on the road, but it is still best to relax in his own mansion.
The long talks ended and were dissolved somewhat neatly.
I talked to His Majesty individually, but he still wanted to hear more about what happened in the dungeon, so he stayed longer in the castle than he thought.
When the day was also about to tilt, His Majesty arranged for a carriage to be sent slowly to the Mansion.
Have them put down in front of the gate, thank you, and I'll slowly look at my mansion.
"Now I wonder if I can relax for a little while..."
I stretched out my back and suddenly called out when I wanted to rest slowly.
"... Could it be Towya...?
- A familiar voice.
Looking back - not at all the same as before, Lumina in a bikini armor stood.
"I knew it was Towya! If you come to this Imperial capital and visit the Alliance, you will hear that you are a nobleman. No way really...... No, I had something to say before that. I'm sorry then..."
Suddenly deep down, Lumina bowed her head.
Speaking of which, you fought when you left the Kingdom of Salandir, I recall.
"Mr. Lumina, please raise your head. Because it's over now. More than that... about what I asked for before...?
I asked for the Sayas in the nursing home. No way...
Momentum raised her face, Lumina grins.
"That's right! I came to see Toya about it. After that, I was taken care of in a nursing home. I lived there."
I have trouble being in front of the gate in that outfit before that.
"I'll listen in the mansion, so follow me."
"Oh, I don't mind if Toya says so... And you live in a mansion this big? Not when you're a nobleman."
I smile unwittingly at Lumina looking up at the mansion.
Tell the attendant to show Lumina to the reception room, and I'll go back to my room once and change from a look-alike outfit to something a little rough.
"And I can't believe Mr. Lumina got this far... Is something wrong..."
I got a little anxious, but I'm headed to the reception room to talk.
When he knocked lightly on the door before entering the room, Lumina seemed restless and walked around the edge of the room.
"Mr. Lumina, I wish I'd been resting..."
I noticed me. Lumina is only slightly blushing.
"Nah, I didn't even think I lived in a mansion bigger than the Lords' Hall of the City... I'm having trouble settling down."
I advise you to sit on the couch with a bitter smile.
I just wanted to know the situation as quickly as possible to Lumina, who finally sat down.
"So how did Mr. Lumina get to this Empire...?
"That's what I did, but I moved my base to Dumblr and tried to get to the nursing home as Towya told me, but that would be Slam Street over there. When I go, it's always a battle all over the city. I almost got attacked by a few people, so I stuck with it. Eventually, I was told what I used to say to the nursing home, and there was a raid on the facility. Of course, I gave them all to the Blood Festival."
Cook and laughing Lumina, but when I thought about it, I remembered it was B-ranked in solo.
I wouldn't normally think about it, such as walking through Slam Street, haunting my surroundings with bikini armor.
I asked for it. It made me want to hold my head that I was stupid.
"Because of too many fights, my lord told me to move the sanctuary. When you and Saya were discussing where we were going, you asked a merchant named Alice to see how the Sayas were doing. You happened to be here then, I talked to you. And then -" Why don't we just go to the capital of the Lunette Empire, where Towya lives? 'I was told. Saya agreed, too, so we could have all the kids. "
... Alice... throwing a round at people.
No, I'm glad to see the kids, but all of a sudden I brought all the kids! Even if they say so, I'm in trouble.
Even where I live...... Oh, is there one here too? I have as many extra rooms as I want, and I don't mind if you live there for now.
"So Saya and the kids...?
"Oh, I've deposited enough money from Towya, so I'm hosting an inn today. I'm the only one here because I have to see Toya first."
"Then I'll send in the use tomorrow. You can start living in the mansion here tomorrow. There's plenty of room. I think we need a little extra bedding."
"Then tomorrow, I'll bring you this far. I've learned how to get here."
I'll have to make arrangements soon after this. Well, it's small, so I don't think it would be a problem if you slept with me for a little while until we've got everyone's share.
"Then do me a favor around noon tomorrow. I'll have lunch prepared here."
"Helpful. But you really made Towya a nobleman. I haven't thought about it since we were on escort duty together. Well, even when I was an escort, I was attacked by a herd of orcs, and I knew about their prowess, so I thought they were going to be the embrace of some nobleman."
After hearing about my life at Dumblr, I dropped off Lumina, who had to be back by dinner.
At first, I tried to send him by carriage, but he refused for no reason that the adventurer was embarrassed to be sent by carriage.
I also visited Lumina about Alice's location, but she said, "I have a business in another city," and I think she left the capital immediately. I'm sure he had an idea of what he'd say if I caught him.
Remember the next time we see each other...
I told my squire that there would be a lot of visitors tomorrow, and I asked them to prepare bedding and stuff.
I also wanted to give the funds, but from the Marquis' point of view, a large amount of support had been paid by the State, which was refused to be a problem.
I dived into bed thinking about the kids I'd see a long time ago.
