The plain and unnoticed me is no more

206. First Villager Discovery?

"Good morning! It's a nice day!"

Looking back, a magnificent man with a long sword on his waist waved at us from around the middle of the hill. There was no indication of when he had arrived there.

The man dazzles the wind with his tied hair and comes gently up the hill. If you look closely, your hair is the same olive color as Sin.

A white horse is connected to the wooden fence near the forest below, which he is believed to have ridden. There is no horse, and no one else.

I knew I would meet someone sooner or later, but I didn't expect the first person I met to be carrying a sword.

We hurriedly place our free breakfast on the bench and get up.

"Oh, what do we do, Sin?" I have a sword. "

"It's okay, I'll protect you if anything happens."... but look. He's not going to hurt us. Don't look so frightened. Smiley. Smiley. "

"That's right, first impressions are important." We're about to start a business here. ”

I immediately put a sales smile on my face. I feel a little twitching because I feel pressure from the approaching man.

There is no murderous intent, and although he has a clear smile, there is still a sense of intimidation that cannot be hidden. I feel a sense of majesty that doesn't suit my rough outfit.

The majestic man did not seem to be alarmed at us, and began to introduce himself with a friendly smile.

“My name is Elkat Leuenthal. Who are you guys?"

Erkat Leuenthal? A name I've heard somewhere. But I can't remember where I heard it. I wonder if there was someone with the same name at the inn.

Deep wrinkles are engraved on the tanned skin, but it is quite handsome. She appears to be in her late fifties.

The outfit is very rough, with a loose ivory braided shirt, brown trousers and black long boots at the feet.

When she turned her gaze to Xin, she put her left hand on her chest and bowed lightly.

Greetings, sir. That means you've judged the man in front of you to be noble.

I also bowed to Shin.

“My name is Sin Alsted. She's Lana."

When Xin called himself, the man changed his complexion for a moment. And look at me and Sin alternately.

"Alsted" is the surname of Sin's grandfather. Formerly a nobleman in this country.

So it is not surprising that this man knows the Alsteds.

And I thought, but a word popped up from a man that I didn't expect.

"I love it. Are you going on a honeymoon to this place?"

"T-That's not true!"

Hurrying to deny it, the two voices were perfectly aligned.

The man is giggling, but his eyes continue to observe us as if to scrutinize us.

Maybe that's not what I really wanted to say.

So the man laid his hand on his mouth and muttered to himself as if he were thinking.

”Hmm... I knew it looked alike”

"...? To whom?"

Xin asks.

The man then said clearly, without misleading him.

About two weeks ago, you guys went into the sanctuary behind the waterfall early in the morning, right?

――

I can't believe they were looking at us...!

I was just going to see how things were that day, so I came down here in the guise of a traveler without wearing a disguise.

Even if that's good, the problem is afterwards.

I unintentionally descended the goddess and fulfilled my wish to "restore this country to its original form."

We were in a cavern, and we had no way of knowing what was going on out there, but this one was watching.

The moment the ground shakes and a flash of lightning flashes, the large amount of water that filled the land disappears instantly.

And just before they happened, we were well witnessed entering the sacred place.

I wonder what he thinks of us who showed up at that time.

My heart beats fast because I'm so upset.

"Um... that's..."

"Oh, I'm not blaming you for entering the sanctuary." It's not for everyone. That's because I was qualified to do it. Isn't that right? "

Xin nodded, and I replied in a small voice.

"That's right..."

"Yeah, I'm glad you're honest. I'm sorry about earlier. I've been looking all over for you guys."

"Huh...?"

Alertness rises all at once.

The man who noticed that we were puzzled began to explain in a panic as if to shake off the awkward air.

"Ah! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait In short, what do you want to say?"

The man had tears in his eyes and breathed in wooosh. And as we shudder so loudly, Zunzun approaches us.

Thank you!!

"... eh?"

"Thanks to you, Artemi is back!" As a king, I salute you! I've never been so happy to see this view in my lifetime! How long the people who had left the crying country were waiting for this time... "Everyone's listening to the news and getting ready to get back here in a hurry. Those in neighbouring countries will return home next week. Thanks to you. [M] Thank you, thank you very much."

That said, she hugged Xin and me at once and repeated "thank you" over and over again.

I suddenly couldn't catch up with my thoughts, but I realized that it was a little later.

... wait. Did I say king?
