The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Number one: Are you a brave man? No, I'm a banker.
Kota is summoned, a while ago.
"... ha-ha..."
King's private room at King Flame's Palace. Elizabeth Orenfeld Flame, the young king of the historical and traditional 'Millennium Kingdom', took a great big sigh of sigh with a single elbow on her desk. Lotte, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, who kept reporting, unexpectedly frowns at that sigh and attitude, which does not resemble the glorious beauty characteristic of his youth, who is only seventeen years old.
"… Your Majesty"
"... I know repeatedly that I behave badly. Lotte, go on."
"… now for your next report. Yesterday, the Wangdu Commercial Federation came to the petition."
"Complaint?"
"Yes, I've been arranging some of the most important things... but the point is that they want to be granted tax breaks or tax exemptions."
"Rejected."
"… Your Majesty"
"There's no way I can. Tax breaks were similarly made last year. Any further tax cuts will drive the nation itself to extinction."
"That's right..."
"First, we should have more support for the commercial federation than for the federation of margins. tariff preferences, the protection of Federation members against other countries' merchants, the preferential use of embassies and…"
"Do you also add the right to issue Kingdom currency to that?
"Right. Put them on the nail and say," If you keep your mouth open, don't think they can feed you. "
"… Your Majesty"
"It's a joke."
With that said, I also sigh in my chest, although I did not apprentice Rotte, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, who served this young queen once again with a deep sigh as she held her mouth. In fact, the Queen's words are also what Lotte herself wants to say. I'm not saying it's bad money making, but I told Lotte herself to an all-you-can-do commercial federation who wants to do it under the state's asylum: 'Don't be ridiculous!' And I feel like yelling. Well, if I did that, I would never do it because the entire commercial union would turn to me and the economy of the country would stop standing.
"… tell the commercial federation 'I will do good'"
"... ok. Let's hope you're smart enough to convince us."
Lotte turns the page of the report in her hands, mocking herself that, even if a human named the prime minister of the kingdom would not 'just pray' without taking any effective means.
"Next up… from the Commander General for the Westerly Border"
"... Now what?
"'There's not enough soldiers in absolute numbers. I want you to turn some of the Kingsguard over here.'"
"Westria... are you with General Starkle"
"'There are suspicious movements in Westria'. The prime minister is a Taka. Well, it didn't start now."
"... so we increase the number of people, right? Personally, I disagree that this is going to stimulate the Westerly side..."
"I know how you feel... but it's General Starkle."
"The opinion of General Starkle, called 'Chirii Eye', is... ok. Send half the Kingsguard."
"Half, is it? Then the guardian of the king's capital..."
"Anyway, if we can get out of the Westerners, it's a straight line to the Wang capital, the same thing. Kingsguard is not a figurine, and you should work for about your salary. Prepare the document for the delegation of command of Kingsguard as soon as possible"
"Sir Lausanne is going to be angry when he sprays fire."
"... ask Lotte there. We're close, right?"
To the appearance of the Lord he should serve, who moisturizes his eyes only slightly with upliftment, Lotte sighed in grandeur, not in his chest, and countered him by turning his eyes.
"... it's just a rotten edge. And your majesty, the queen of tradition and the glorious kingdom of Flame, I ask you to quit imitating the likeness of the daughter of Shirai."
"Lust, won't you? Lovely Elizabeth's...... Liz's favor, wouldn't you like me to ask you?
"Assuming you don't crave Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth as much as my grandson...... 'Butt Blue', would you be disrespectful?
"... I would have hit him in the neck and exposed him to the walls, though. Not attractive, to me?
"With all due respect, I'd like to know who you think gave you Liz's mum instead."
The nickname before Elizabeth came to power yet, emphasizing the relationship by calling it "Liz"... but well, that's why I don't deny that you're "cute," and I think I'll ask you a favor.
"Let Sir Lausanne speak from my side. He's a man who will be happy if he drinks well."
"... that leaves me anxious. Are you sure? The head of the Kingsguard is in such a professional ethic."
"In case anything happens, we have a degree of ethics to protect Your Majesty from the fierce blade with a waste of flesh as big as that bear, even for that man. Isn't that enough?
"... so is that. If you get attacked here, it's over either way."
"That's what I'm saying. Now on the next agenda…"
Lotte turns the page and says it the moment the word pops into her eyes. Liz gave that look a surprised look.
"... what is it?
"... from the Kingdom Academy. Successfully deciphered the text of" Ritual of the Summoning of the Brave "from the ancient book."
"... of the brave, summons...?
Liz turns a frivolous eye to Lotte's report.
"... is there such a thing in our country? I'm the first person to hear that."
"... it's eyebrow spitting." The Summoning of the Brave, that's the world of gaga. "
"... even though magic itself is a fairy tale, is it just 'the brave man'..."
Put your hand on your forehead and shake your neck to the left and right just to tell you to do it. Liz. I know how that feels so painfully for Lotte.
"... the Kingdom Academy is excellent, but it's just a little rushing"
"I'm not talking about it a little bit. So, the academics have asked you to stand by your majesty's summons."
"To me, is it?
"Yes."
"That's... what can I say, a rather aggressive and adventurous suggestion? Or should I call it speculative... is that okay?
"They don't have anything to lose. No money, no status, no honor, no fame. All I want is an environment where I can concentrate on my own academics and my fellow students who can incise me."
"... what a thankful story, as it stands"
Lotte also nods back to Liz's dialogue. The only thing that makes Sole feel extra honorable is that he's been talking about money... well, he won't have a choice.
"... ok. If you plan to, Lotte, it's up to you."
"My pleasure."
That's what I say and I bow my head, Lotte. Well, there are reasons to succeed in summoning the brave... but Lotte thought it would be profitable to be an inch of a distraction for Her Majesty the Young Queen, enduring a stressful environment.
... Until this time.
◇◆◇◆◇◆
"... at least now I'm a 'normal' banker"
Lotte turned her eyes round to the young man, who appeared so easily from the magic formation that she was not surprised. Honestly, I only thought about summoning brave men from different worlds, what a sudden euphemism, to the extent of a child's deception before I believed it or not. Why don't you open the lid and join the show? Didn't you succeed in the subpoena?
"... brave man... so you don't..."
"... I'm so sorry. I have no power whatsoever, I am a normal person. Excuse me, may I ask your name?
"Huh?... Oh, oh. I'm sorry about this. My name is Elizabeth Orenfeld Flame, the fifty-second king of the Kingdom of Flame. Friends of the other world, thank you."
Elizabeth picks the edge of her skirt properly and gently lowers her head to show it.
"Thank you very much for this. I introduced myself earlier, but my name is Kota Matsudai. I work for Sumitomo Bank... well, you're a salaried man."
"What exactly is the title of Salary......?
"It's not a title. Occupation… is not accurate… name, is it?
"Like a special name given to someone who excels in sword moves?
"No."
"I can handle magic"
"You can't handle it."
"Unraveling ancient mysteries, intelligence like a wise man..."
"Not Combined"
"Here... there's something about communicating with the gods!
"If I could, it would be unsavory. radio waves, it would be called. Salaries are the generic name for salaries, that is, employees who work on a salary. Japan... Yep, the vast majority of people in my country are this' salaried man '. If you think of it as a unique noun such as" Fish Shop "or" Eight Hundred Shops "you don't have to hit it. It's not far away...... is it?
"So... isn't that a normal name!
"Yeah. That's why I was the first to introduce myself. He said he was a 'normal' banker."
Kota shows her shoulders flaunted and continues her words.
"So... you summoned me around the corner, but I can't do anything. I don't know if there are any harder circumstances than summoning..."
Thus, 'I'm sorry I can't help you in any way,' said Kota, bowing his head... Liz's appearance dyeing her face bright blue entered Lotte's gaze.
... not good, right?
"... where, Your Majesty. This is out of pure interest...... what the hell happened? If you look at the template, the Demon King, I think?
"Huh!? Yeah, yeah! Well... not the Demon King..."
"I'm not a demon king, do you mean... dragons, or something? There must be a line called an invader from space… what a horrible opponent…"
"Uh... you know, horrible or what..."
Staring at Liz, who wanders around, Lotte takes one big sigh.
... you wouldn't think that 'I summoned you without thinking you'd succeed' was a reason, but I went to His Majesty the Beloved.
