"I finally think I could act as a trump card for the Arcana Royal Family in advance of the wedding"
"I still don't know what the accomplishments are... but whatever, you did a great job. Son, now I can finally show you another house."
The King of Arcana and the Lord of Domino were speaking, including the silent Stend.
Strange intimacy and a strange sense of distance can also be seen as distorted between the two sides.
The neighborhood is subtle, and the Royal Family and Rikyo are distinctly different from the relationship between other houses and their trump cards.
In a sense, it is the lord of the same country.
In a sense, it is an employment relationship.
In a sense, it is reciprocal.
In a sense, it is an upward and downward relationship.
The royal family obviously expects Rikyo. To contribute to the whole royal family by working more than equal to the trump cards of the other four houses.
If that expectation is not answered, there will be less aid for Domino and more for Arcana.
This one case is indeed a back job, but at least the upper management conveyed the strength of Rikyo.
That would be enough, in a way. At least, as a single person, my drinks are down.
"If I hadn't been able to draw you in, I would have always fled to bitter liquor with regret"
Even without the lucrative side, it possesses enough power for leading domestic players to call it trump cards.
I didn't like how that would serve the national interest, but only the royal family was outside the mosquito nets.
Indeed, Rikyo has a different color of hair than the other four.
But still, it was as useful as this one.
"If your booze, the benefactor, is going to taste good, that's all you've done."
"Oh, I see."
The time is night. It's not an early hour to drink roughly, but the three of them were still drinking tea.
I guess that's because future stories should be alcohol-free.
"... I want you to listen with ease. In a way, it's none of your business."
Easy, with a far thought of face, the king was asking to Rikyo.
He is sweet with trump cards. I didn't take a long time to build trust.
Interests of those who bear the country, nothing else.
That's why, on the contrary, I can believe about Rikyo. But I can't say much about the other trump cards.
"Wasn't this operation clearly unfavourable to the trump cards other than yours?
That was an extremely downright sense of crisis.
The trumpets, everyone has non-standard powers. That is why trump cards, if put on the field, are individuals whose victory is confirmed.
But it also means individuals beyond the control of the state.
What would happen if one of the four trump cards disgruntled and repulsed this operation?
Of course, the owner of each house believes it won't. That's why the king gave his permission...
"Of course, I guess I'm the one who's happy."
Easy, give a quiet response unlike
Rikyo never laughed at that fear.
Because I am somewhat guaranteed survival by Elixir, but the king in front of me is different.
"But isn't that normal? Not everyone can do what they want."
"Of course it is. But that's why... that's why people can get off the road"
For example, suppose you wanted to be a cook. Suppose he got a job in the cooking area as a cook.
Sometimes you have to work with bullies, you don't have talent for yourself, something that isn't cooking rather than that trivial problem.
e.g. dishwashing, e.g. cleaning the kitchen, e.g. arranging materials, e.g. customer service.
These jobs are not cooking itself. Not irrelevant, of course, but still wouldn't be funny.
Nevertheless, they are 'jobs' because they are necessary.
I'm not imposing a totally pointless labor as harassment, I'm simply saying that someone has to do it and it's the most jobless newbie I can get to do it.
In the first place, just because I got a job in the cooking place, assuming I was born. So, there's no way we can just cook.
Not many people leave the cooking area knowing such a reality.
"Your Majesty, I know exactly what you're trying to say. But it's okay. If your lord, the Lord of the Four Kingdoms, had done better, there would be no problem."
Rikkyo met all the trump cards. On top of that, I assure you so.
"What can I say... you're dreaming too much about the strongest thing"
"Maybe so...... no, not just me, but every house owner has the strongest fantasy"
of the king. That was a natural preference as a single man.
"We like strong men."
The mountain water that I trained for five hundred years, the festival me of all qualities, the genuine possession of the strongest magic, the Rikkyo with five divine treasures, and the spring that perfectly fits with Pandora.
Preference is what makes them yearn for the strongest individuals. I remember a kind of superiority in following them like that.
"You are the Lord of the Nation. Even the strongest must behave as the head of the state. So I can also understand that it will be used by me. But... why don't the other four betray each other? Come on, I think you're too loyal."
For everyone, I like it or not.
Sometimes you reluctantly push someone else for an unpleasant job, or say no altogether.
That's arrogant, of course, and not much to be liked.
But what does it mean that they, who are supposed to be the strongest, do not make rejections?
"You're with me. They also know a lot about this world."
Rikkyo recalls.
Tell me what results your old self has achieved.
"You will understand if you eat the dishes served in Danua... our hometown has quite a high standard of living. It's a bad way to put it, but when you live the same way as the civilian population in this country, it's going to be tough until you get used to it."
Even vulgar, but I guess they're fighting to protect their standard of living, too.
To the extent of a few wild lodgings, you'll enjoy it in a fresh mood. If you're going to spend a few days in the barn, you'll be able to stand it.
But when that life lasts a lifetime, it becomes a psychological burden.
"What is the way to put it... in this country and in this world, just because you're a hundred times stronger doesn't mean you can live a hundred times better"
Yes, that was a lot of disappointment.
Except in the case of mountain waters, which lived in isolation for a long time, other faces were disappointed that there was no dungeon for the Adventurer Alliance in this world.
To be clear, this world just has magic, and it's not that far from Earth.
"Well, I guess so..."
"We used to have fantasies about the strongest. If you're strongest, you'll be forgiven for doing anything."
The mistake had been repeated in real life, with natural consequences.
Yes, Oseo Black is really stupid. But that's not a rare stupidity.
I said the same thing to the same person.
I thought I was awesome and at the heart of the world, without any particular basis.
If the surroundings entertained themselves, they were satisfied with it and did not doubt their success.
The bad guys were incompetent, the allies were excellent, and I didn't suspect I was the strongest.
In fact, that didn't happen at all.
"If you're the strongest, you can do whatever you want. I thought I could get great, get status, get praised and honored by everyone, do whatever I want and get rich... and hold all the women I want."
In a sentence, I'm really sorry.
"Or relax in an idyllic place, live a trouble-free life, and live in relaxation. I thought if I had the strongest power, I could do that."
"Even the strongest, you say you can't?
"It unites everything in the kingdom of Arcana, Your Majesty. Is that what you call it?
To the king of the kingdom of Arcana, there are no dreams.
At least he or she and the heads of the four nobles are well aware of it.
"Do you hold eight divine treasures and five trump cards?
……
"You have status, you have honor, you have wealth, you have authority. Even you have a lot of grievances, but there's no way we're going to have so much fun just being the strongest."
"My power is the power of the state. It's not like I can use it on my own. But you are the power of the individual."
"So… even if the individual protrudes and is strong, there is no way that he can live a protruding life."
You think you're gonna take out a mighty monster and sell that body and play and live your whole life?
Dive into a dungeon and earn valuable treasure, sell it and make a lot of money or something.
That is not the case in this world at all.
If so, we can only be surrounded by those in power, as we are now.
"We already know that. So I want to be hired by someone who respects us at least."
"Even so, wasn't this operation an act of faith as well?
"It's not so. Well, you want me to take a woman from somewhere, take her treasure, and do everything I can to plunder her? If it was an operation to get you guys like that, that's probably why you didn't like it."
This operation was planned for the Kingdom of Arkana not to gain in any way, also in view of its impact on neighbouring countries.
As a nation, as an individual, is. That had turned out to be something that did not get disappointment from the trump cards.
"Mostly well...... isn't it the worst, I can't believe I turned down my job because I don't like it"
"Sucks, Kane."
"We're not hired as sportsmen. We are actually hired as a force to use. There's no way we can turn down an operation for the national good because we don't like it."
I am the strongest.
The strongest, so I can live better than the others.
The strongest, so I can say no to unpleasant work.
It's the strongest, so I can usually do whatever I want.
The strongest, so no one can complain to themselves.
The strongest, so I can leave the chores to others.
It's the strongest, so you can push the trivials on others.
It's the strongest, so you don't have to pay the money.
I guess that goes too if it's really the strongest, but it's just a parasite.
"We know you're good traders. If it's in your national interest that you're never close to each other, you're not going to say no because you don't like us serving you."
We don't have a good life because we're strong.
We have a good life because there are people who need their work.
It is in the interest of the state if we do exactly what is needed.
Otherwise, we have no significance to ourselves.
"That's not the only job we can do all the time. You can only reward the King once in a while, but if you say no, that's what you'll hate from around you. We are trump cards, cards. Can't you be too reluctant to be on your own at your discretion?"
Being the strongest would not be worth it, but only if it could actually work.
"Especially Festival Me and Masazo and Spring can only fight. That they can't refuse to fight."
Mountain water can teach swordsmanship.
Rikyo has always worked by politics.
Festival I am the next owner of Bathrub, but so far I am hardly involved in government affairs.
Masakazo can't do anything, and that's what's pulling him off.
Spring too, that's what......
"We're the strongest. But...... not like Mr. Suibok at all. The strongest, that's all."
May the greatest king not like it so much.
The strongest trumpets can't do as much as they like.
That's all we're talking about.
"Your Majesty."
Again, a man who is just good at revolutions bows his head to the king of one country.
"I'm not sure I can make your son happy as a woman. But... as your king, I will do everything in my power not to make you regret that your judgment was wrong."
My old self was drunk on myself for not being bad against mighty power.
I thought I was awesome not to pull a step against the country.
I loved myself like that, and I was selling fights to someone I didn't even need to contend with in particular.
"My country, Domino, thank you for your continued support."
Stend, who had been scorned, laughed happily, though.
I'm happy to be the bride of this man, more proud than that.
Likewise, King Arcana was relieved.
A hero in his hand was helplessly relieved that he needed to do something about himself.
Needless to say, that was very fortunate for both sides.
