The Road to One Day Be the Strongest

"Thank you so much for attending the ball and dinner party I created."

Elgrit to take the stage and say so and thank you lightly.

─ ─ Normally it would be quite taboo for a king to bow his head, and there are actually a few of the nobles who look disgusted. But that's why they say King Xian, and that's why Elgrit is popular...... Apparently.

"After the ball, there's talk from me to everyone, so I want you to look forward to it. Then that's all I'm saying."

It was the "story" and the annoying nobles, but everyone leaps to the center of the room with a face full of expectations.

─ ─ ─ Mostly what people talk about at times like this is the connection between war, treaty, and engagement again, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with me.

That's what I thought. I give everyone freedom of movement again, and I try to pick up some food with Dawn Ho.

but it seemed a mistake of hatred to me to let go of Hui Night, which was my hiding place.

I sigh at the cutlet and its footsteps, which do not hide my frustration, and walk out to the long desk at a rate that is even faster than the one that approaches me. Of course Dawn Ho follows suit.

The person behind the repentant leak when he sees it gives me even more cadence - - kind of like a bike - but in this case, the cadence is the walking rate.

And even while I was doing that, I reached the chief desk, and when I received the dish from the maid I had refrained from there, I circled around the chief desk and stopped.

Looking beside him, I saw Master Renea staring at me with a rough breath over the long desk and Gilbert and Olivia following me with a bitter laugh afterwards.

─ ─ ─ By the way, Lady Amelia, Elgrit and Lady Mary are staring at this one on stage. Hey, I'm not laughing, Elgrid.

"Oh, Gilbert, Olivia. Just now."

"Oh, I haven't seen you just now."

"I haven't had lunch"

- Huh!?

I'm still surprised at Olivia's soft-hearted tone, and I'm approaching worried that she's really someone else.

but there was someone who didn't let it go.

As I approached Olivia, there was an opponent between us who broke into her body.

─ ─ Or it was Lunea, the First Princess.

I turned away from my anger-burning eyes, and I sighed, and I said, "I don't know."

"What is it, Master Renea? Did I do something? Oh, could it be jealous? That's cute......, so I'm going to Olivia......"

"Chi, chi, wait a minute! And, and it's rude to be jealous! Oh, yeah! Wow, I just don't like you!

"Then you have to talk to him. You must be a bully."

"Ugh, kuoo......"

─ ─ Completely disputed. It's the second time, by the way.

Of course, the first time I was suddenly told to give me ownership. [M] I ran away arguing just like this one then...... but apparently I haven't given up on this princess yet. It's kind of scary to follow you to the end of the earth. It's stuck and deluded and cute though.

"Ha ha......, what a rare place for Renea to say and lose completely. Wouldn't that be the first time Ginn's been defeated by anything other than royalty?

"Shut up! Brother Gilbert!

If this is a tung,

"Ha, if you were yelling so much, you might get hit by Ginn, huh?

"Yeah!? Oh, well, I don't care about that........., duh, because...... you don't like girls like me......?

This will be Dere.

Oh, my God, she's funny. I smell the same as the phoenix, but I don't have breasts.

That's why I decided to ignore Master Renea and talk to Gilbert.

"More than that, Gilbert, what's that story you were saying? Personally I'd like to go home after this......"

- Most importantly, my gaze from the nobles still hurts.

If you check sideways, you can also ask angry, jealous, and even hateful emotions. It would be self-evident that we should not stay here long.

I'll smell that and ask Gilbert that, but he's been puzzled to return words to it.

"No, actually, I just heard about it too...... Father comes up with more or less anything, so maybe it's arbitrary that he hasn't talked to anyone this time, either? You know what Renea and Olivia are?

"Gu, gu...... and I don't know!

"I don't know either......, maybe it's just like your brother imagined?

Whoa, is it working out for you, this country?

Elgrid, who's been called King Xian or something because you're working on it, and Alfred and the Chancellor who support it, could be pretty awesome people? Especially the latter two.

─ ─ And that's when I thought about it.

"Ki, you haaaa!! I wonder if it would defy this me who is the Marquis!? Fools like you should follow us very carefully!!

Such an arrogant voice sounds indoors, and the sound disappears in an instant from the noisy indoors earlier.

The only thing I could hear was the rough nose of the Lord in his arrogant voice, and the screams of those whom I knew well.

I have an unpleasant imagination and turn around with a bah, but I still don't cover that imagination of mine.

At the end of her eyes was the silly aristocrats grabbing her arms and then trying to escape - - - Kyoka's appearance there.

"......... ah?

─ ─ It was just then that black magic overflowed my body.

My magic has been freed once and for all, and instead of in this castle, it has probably even reached the castle town.

─ ─ But I will never let you pass out. Overwhelming intimidation and killing plants fear and despair in its body without having time to pass out. Exactly. I wake up right after I pass out. I don't give you time to sleep.

But, well, I still have reason to think like this. So let's just leave it inside this castle to fly intimidation.

At the end of my sight is an ambushed nail and Kyoka, who was about to be kidnapped right now beside it.

And there's a shitty bug that attracts your face to fear,...... five.

"Of course you're ready, you guys.

I wonder for myself if I can make a dosty voice so far.

It's like I'm manipulating an angry self, another me with a calm head, in an unrealistic situation close to the game. I have no idea what that means at all, and I don't understand it.

But let's at least thank you for the situation we're in.

─ ─ Otherwise, this country would have perished even at this moment.

"Sorry, Gilbert. That's not what I was saying. Let me take my people home now."

When I say so, I walk out without even hearing back. [M]

Pack one step, one step and the distance to the target's location for sure.

"Kiki, kiki, you ah!? Wow, I am the Marquis of this country!? It's Marquis Cullip!! I just need to do this......"

"Article IV, If a person under King Hermes' authority and a person under Gin-Crashbell's authority harms his opponent without the Lord's permission, he shall have the right to bring those persons to justice if he is harmed....... of course you know what it is, right?

At those moments, all the suddenly bright blue faeces turn their gaze to Elgrit for help, but Elgrit meditates on his eyes and sees nothing.

"Look, I'm not gonna do anything to hurt you. Maybe, just in case, the possibility is that I get so scrapped by getting close... but it wasn't my fault then, was it?

All five nobles start making noise, but I didn't know that.

A dozen or so lower knights who probably don't know anything come close to stopping me, but that's no use either. If you wanted to stop me, you should have asked someone of the devils.

─ ─ Well, there's no way there's a guy who's not mad that two of his buddies got hit.

I put up one hand and just said one thing:

"" The Fool's Puppet (Marionette) ""

Then at the next moment, all the knights stop their movements perfectly, aligned in two rows as if to show my way, facing each other and raising their swords overhead.

"Look, unfortunately, the knights are on my side, too."

I slowly walk down the path under a cross of swords made over my head, stopping my feet in front of both my faeces.

"Wow, I... uh, here, in this country, uh, here, Marquis..."

There were only two things I did to them that were still talking nonsense: peeking into their eyes with the floating purple left eye of the magic formation, and throwing up words.

"It's a breach of contract. Repent and keep living in hell."

The knights and the five nobles, who were thus creating their way, fell and lay down on the spot as if they were dolls with broken threads.

Shortly after I finished showing those idiots a thousand years of living hell in a flash with my demonic eyes, I finally came back to reality.

─ ─ And,

(Wow, isn't this the guy who did this!?)

I regretted it quite seriously.

I didn't imitate killing because of an attempt on a boulder, but still, those five would have already become obsolete. Self-consciousness vanishes and puppets can no longer even find meaning in living. That's the status quo of those five now.

By the way, the knights fell just a performance. Now, if I unlock the Fool's Puppet (Marionette), I will regain my freedom on the spot.

That was strangely cool until just now. Where did I go? It's the current situation that makes me pretty weak inside of me.

...... Well, it was usually a breach of contract and there's no problem, is there?

"Ha......, why are you okay, Kyoka, Nail"

I reach out to both of them when I crouch in to get them up, still holding my eyes open. [M] First come, of course, because I only have one hand.

─ ─ I thought, if you look closely, even hit him in the head when he could be assembled up to the nail, and there's a twofold flow of blood from his forehead. This is a nail priority and there will be no problem.

"'All Heels'"

All heels.

It's the light magic of Lv.4 that Lucy once used to heal your wounds, Armor.

The boulder was only Lv.4, and the wound on Nail's head healed, and it was completely healed within seconds.

"Can you stand?

I put my face a little closer and wiped my blood with the cuffs of my clothes before I asked him that, but Nail was just looking up at my face with something boisterous, and went back to sanity first and finally went back to sanity when Kyoka, with a muffled face, tuned me in the side.

"HI, HI!? Oh, thank you. Sorry!

"... he's chewing on you, huh?

That's what I suggested. Nail's face stained bright red.

─ ─ Yeah, maybe, but that's the usual nail.

When I got up, I turned to the aristocrats who still didn't understand what was going on, and to the foolish king (Elgrit), who couldn't stop them from perceiving it beforehand.

"I broke my contract and tried to force this fellow to abduct me. I didn't give a shit this time, but just in case this happens again, be careful it might turn out to be a dead body the next day."

Yes, to him and the others - perhaps in vain - but point to the nail and then shift your gaze to Elgrit.

"Of course there's an apology for the harm done to this one, isn't there? Tomorrow at noon, I'll go get the compensation for this escort request, so you can wash your neck and wait."

"Nooo, nooo......, there really is something wrong with this one. Seek responsibility here, and it will be a great disgrace to our royalty and nobility."

...... hmm?

For some reason, the rhetoric dropped the blood that was climbing onto my head in an instant.

"I don't think there's such a big idiot as to disagree here - not even know the simple damage and common sense issues... but..., aye, okay. Visit the Royal Castle tomorrow at noon. Have a meeting after this (...) to determine the details by then.

Elgrid nodded once, saying that she was too uncomfortable and seemingly regrettable, wondering why.

After this

Tales from Elgrit

thorns and nails that look like the ends of the word

That attitude is easy to understand if one sees it

When I understand everything in view of those pieces, I take one sigh and walk out to the exit.

─ ─ Is it all what you think, you fucking wise king?

Shortly before I left the room, I looked back in the gaze of everyone (...) and it was Elgrit who was grinning with a crisp, full-blown grin.
