The Novice Alchemist’s Store

Quietly check the number of enemies (·).

In addition to Baron Kirk, there are three surroundings.

I'm familiar with rough things, but it doesn't seem like a threat.

There are no other people around.

- Can you do it?

I was a little bit prepared for that, but fortunately, it never happened.

"Warrant Baron Kirk, you seem to be having an interesting conversation, but do you have time for this?

It was His Highness, who had wasted tea and sweets just now, who appeared in Omoro with such words.

Are you going to work for what you've spent? Standing in front of me, I look hard at Baron Kirk.

"You..."

"You are under suspicion of entering the kingdom without authorization."

"Nhhh!?"

Baroness Kirk was uttered by His Highness to block the words of Baroness Kirk.

The surrounding men who stood behind him also took a breath and stepped back.

But of course.

In the territory of other nobles, let alone the invasion of King's Land without authorization, it is equal to drawing a bow against the royal family, without waiting for the certification of treason.

It is a felony that could be a homicide, and so are those involved.

As long as it is wrapped around it, it is natural to behead it in a series.

But that's what Warrant Baron Kirk did?

The purpose itself is unknown, but more than that...

"I can't believe you're near King's Landing....."

"Isn't there? It's close."

With that, His Highness points to the back.

That's my shop.

It's true that this shop was purchased with the support of the Kingdom, so half of it - no, not to mention more than 90% of it belongs to the Kingdom, but it's not King's Land... Ah, I see.

His Highness is pointing beyond that to the sea of trees and mountains.

It is often forgotten because it is slightly different from the direct jurisdiction where the deputy is ruled, but in this country, important gathering sites such as the Great Tree Sea are mostly kingdoms.

It seems to be such a mechanism because it is inconvenient for a lord to hold the Alchemy material, which is also a strategic material.

Therefore, Warrant Baron Kirk, who sent soldiers against us in the mountains, can also be considered to have 'invaded the kingdom'. Strictly speaking, though.

In fact, it has different meanings in the general kingdom and gathering place, and as far as I know, there have been no cases of punishment for putting troops in the gathering place.

"Yes, I don't remember anything like that! Who are you in the first place? It's disrespectful to interrupt a story!!"

Whoa, it looks like Warrant Baron Kirk doesn't know His Highness Felix's face.

You didn't know me or Iris, but you're the head of a noble family, right?

Okay, so?

I'm saying disrespect, but I'm doing a terrible disrespect.

It's like jumping naked into a sword forest.

It'll tear you apart.

His Highness, however, smiled rather funny when he saw such a Baron Kirk.

"Oh, did you forget to see my face?

With that, Your Highness leaves a long time ago.

And at the same time as she focused on herself, she put her hand on the hat, which was slightly covered in the dramatic manners, and she pulled her hair up and took off the hat.

- Did you take it off? No, take it off!?

My concocted smelter (potion) is lagging.

Besides, Your Highness hasn't used it yet.

It came out from under the hat, the same as when I saw it before, on the top of my head.

The light of the sun, which plunged into a good feeling without trying, reflected there, sparkling.

And a perfect face.

Iris couldn't stand it either, but the barons looked at him head-on without thinking.

"" "Buho!

I blew it.

It's an additional offence of disrespect.

"Ha!?"

Baron Kirk nodded satisfactorily and exclaimed his words.

It's kind of awful, coming to make me laugh.

I was already resistant, but I couldn't do it normally.

However, Iris is not normally allowed, and the application of disrespect is only three inches of His Highness's breast.

Perhaps you're special because you're the Barons of Kirk?

There was something unusual about it.

"For those behind me, my name is Felix Laprosian. You understand that, don't you?

Hearing the name of Laprosian, the blood came out of the faces of the surrounding people.

No matter how educated they are, adults know the name of the country in which they live, and there is no way they can understand what kind of bloodline the person who bears the name is.

"Ka, Kirk-sama, what happens to disrespectful sins!?"

"I don't know! But the bigger problem is marching into King's Landing! It's not like killing a civilian alchemist. Murder of the royal family will definitely be a lynching!!"

Again, a snatch and a confession of crime.

You may be in a hurry, but as a nobleman, it's not too rough.

It would be nice for me to confess in front of the royal family.

"Oh, we're okay!? I'm not involved with you!

"I can't believe it! You're all dead when they execute you!

"You just followed Master Kirk's instructions!

"You think you can escape while inhaling all the sweet juice!

Warrant Baron Kirk and the surrounding chimps start to break ugly.

But if you obey like Madison and the others, and you're willing to cooperate, you need to take responsibility.

... including the fools who put their hands on my shop.

"This country village has a royal family!

"In the first place, such a bald man is royalty or something!?"

"That's impossible! You're bald!? You're a prince!

He was Warrant Baron Kirk, who held his head and shouted at his surroundings with such disrespect, but suddenly opened his eyes and smiled happily.

"- That's right! There can't be a royalty in a country like this. He is a fool who deceives the royal family. Isn't it?

I don't suppose you could understand the words of Baron Kirk.

The surrounding people looked stunned, but soon they reached a common sense, causing their faces to convulse and smile.

"Eh? - That's right! You don't have a royal family here, do you?

"Oh, it's impossible for the royal family to act alone without a confession!

"You guys are paying a lot of money. Only two opponents, hold on tight!

Warrant Baron Kirk pushed his back back and the surroundings laid their hands on the weapon, showing a slight hesitation.

--Isn 't that a bad idea!?

I hurried out in front of His Highness.

Your Majesty also has a weapon, but at first glance it looks like an elegant man whose skill is unknown.

Even if I were strong, I can't help but let His Highness fight me back.

It may be a story (fiction) to have a prince protect it, but what happens when that happens?

I'm afraid of later interrogation, even if I'm saved on the spot.

Let His Highness fight and see what you were doing.

A weak princess would forgive that, but I'm not in that position.

That's why I'm going forward.

For yourself tomorrow!

Never for His Highness.

"Your Highness, go inside the shop. It's safe there."

"No, no problem. --Now we can add homicide incitement and attempted homicide against the royal family?

"Such a fluent..."

However, it seems that such a clumsiness and concern on my part was unnecessary.

His Highness raised his right hand lightly and snapped his fingers.

Six men appearing from nowhere - no, maybe men?

I don't know because I cover my whole body in black and cover my face with a mask.

Yes, as the surroundings just said, there is no way the royal family can act without them, and there can be no escort without them.

I somehow felt the signs, but I could not grasp clearly the strength of its existence until it appeared.

Baron Kirk is tied up with a circle that almost simultaneously causes him to faint.

"N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n

I can't understand what happened to the instant event, and the monkey is stuck in the mouth of the cowardly Baron Kirk, unable to speak.

And they knelt on the spot, and one of them came forward, and sat down to wait for His Majesty's command.

The majestic princes who stand up and kneel before them are kind of cool... but please, please put on your hat. Because it ruined everything.

Gap, it's too bad.

Did such a wish come true? His Highness gave instructions while wearing his hat again.

Take him away.

Ha.

Ah, the voice that answered is a little loud.

Could it be a woman? It looks a little small, and it's a little soft?

You felt me staring at her for a moment, but soon she faded and disappeared. Including the men tied up.

--Ah, that black outfit is a smelter (artifact).

Dark outfits stand out during the day rather than at night.

Is that the effect of being able to hide anyway?

Of course, it's about their abilities.

Even if they are given such things, they can be found to be special.

Because such smelters (artifacts) are not generally distributed, and I don't even know they exist.

"Well, you've cleared it up smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation."

"... Your Highness, you dared to provoke me.

I gladly clap my hands on His Majesty, and I turn my gaze to confusion without trying.

Whether His Highness is here today or sitting down consuming tea and sweets, I'm sure he wanted to provoke and add to the charges, knowing that Warrant Baron Kirk is coming to us.

I've been told a lot about Baron Kirk's fraudulent information and evidence, but it's only a waste of time, isn't it?

There's nothing wrong with just abetting a royal murder, even if it's handmade on the spot.

I want you to think about what's bothering me!

"I don't think it's that much of a provocation? No, I was going to provoke you, but I didn't have to run away... a little unexpected."

Did you feel a little anger in my heart, Your Highness, slightly distracted?

Your Highness paid me the trouble Nord caused, but it's more troublesome for you, isn't it? In that I have powers beyond my control.

"Did you need to accumulate more charges in the first place? I was sorry until His Highness said, but the invasion of King's Land alone would be enough to make a change."

It's troublesome and dangerous here (?) If His Highness leads his army to South Strag, it will not be so difficult to capture Warrant Baron Kirk.

No amount of Baron Kirk would attack an army with the King's flag on it - wouldn't he? No... maybe it's suspicious?

"Strictly speaking, yes, but I wanted to avoid it as much as possible. It is difficult for landlords around gathering sites such as the Great Tree Sea to be wary of monsters and hesitate to rescue them in the unlikely event."

"That's... true."

Most places where you can collect a lot of Alchemy materials are also home to many monsters.

There are not many monsters out there that cause damage to the surroundings, but not all of them, like the frenzy of Hell Flame Grizzly.

Of course, the surrounding lords will need to be alert and, depending on the situation, they will need to send troops to deal with it.

Nevertheless, what happens if there are precedents where you have been punished for placing troops in a collection site?

Most lords will hesitate to bring their own troops into the gathering grounds.

As a result, it is the gatherers and the surrounding people who suffer.

"And there can be contingencies when you move your troops. I didn't mean to hurt the people."

Military clashes as well as looting by soldiers can occur.

The victims are the civilians living there.

I understand that if you don't have to take military action, it's better.

"This one doesn't cost much."

"Very... wise decision."

I have to think about damaging my wallet and Lorraine's stomach!

"Am I right?

I'm a little frustrated with His Highness's face.

It seems easy to get along at first sight, but you're laughing at your sword, Lord Felix.

I may be trustworthy as a royal wearer, but I don't want to get along very well.

I'd rather be honest like Iris...

Iris, Kate, get back here!
