The day after we arrived at the Imperial capital, Gi-Quimbrand, Hikaru and the others were summoned to the Imperial Castle.

The call was one-of-a-kind, and although there was a pick-up in the carriage, it was a carriage.

"Mr. Silsill stands out...... sorry, can I have this carriage?

"Fine. Do I (...) mean 'luggage' from the Empire's perspective?

"Silsilly ~! Don't be so mean. Hey!

It is a hical who stumbles on Alice because she also reacts sarcastically.

I know what you mean. Since you are a patient, you cannot enter the Imperial Castle conspicuously.

It looked like a carriage, but when I went inside, there was room for a wide seat. Hikaru as well as Starface and Flower Face have been invited this time, so it was enough for the three of us to ride.

Alice doesn't seem to be going on this, and the carriage goes on with only the Hikars.

"You're kind of anxious..."

Says Paula as she twitches.

"Well, you'll be fine. It looks like the carriage is headed for the Imperial Castle."

Hikaru's "Magic Detection" is now 5 of MAX, and his "Detection Extension" is 5. There also goes the "Soul Blaze," an enhancement of the "Soul Board," which can be confirmed up to more than 5 km away. However, because it is too burdensome on the brain, it is not used at the maximum value unless there is so much.

On the Imperial Castle side, there is a complex magic unfolding, probably a magic prop involved in defense, but on the contrary, even if it is marked and blindfolded, the Imperial Castle side quickly found out.

He hasn't said anything to me either. He was just talking to the gatekeeper at the Imperial Castle General Gate for the loading of materials.

The carriage stopped where no one was around.

"Here we are."

Saying only, and thy lord departed.

"Well... shall we go then?"

"Are you sure? Usually, if it's a call from the royal family, there's always someone to follow."

"Apparently, we're not treated properly."

"I'm Lavia the Adventurer, so I don't give a shit."

Before Hikaru, Lavia pulled the curtain off the carriage and went outside.

It was in a dilapidated warehouse.

Trying to get out of the warehouse,

"Oh, have you come out first"

From the other side, a man appeared who would be over in his late 40s or 50s. He's kind to the point, but he's not laughing at his eyes, and he looks uncharacteristic that he can't seem to recall right away, even if he's wrong in town.

"Sort of. Because it's something they didn't tell me to wait for."

"Whoever entrusts you with this is trustworthy, but a little oligarchy."

When Hikaru looks around, it does seem to be inside the Imperial Castle. There are a few buildings I've seen when I snuck in at night. Right in front of you is the stables, with the smell of Magusa (...) drifting.

"... Silver Face, this one?

Lavia listens as she seeps through the alert.

"That said, it was the first time you two met. Well, I'm just a little familiar, too."

"A little bit, that's a lonely way to say it. Weren't you with us on your journey to Villeocéan?"

My eyes aren't laughing at all, saying I'm lonely.

Lavia and Paula look at such Hikaru and his interactions with strange eyes.

"This is His Excellency the Marquis (Ji =) Sakakimiya. The Prime Minister of this country."

"Huh... Huh?

I didn't seem to think he was the prime minister. Only one, Osama, is in such a bleak and dirty place in the Imperial Castle.

My name is Sakakimiya, and I'd like to introduce you.

Pepper, and lowered his head, the Chancellor,

"Uh, huh?

"Come on, let's go. Your Majesty is waiting."

I just stood first and walked out.

"Huh? Huh?

"Let's go, Starface. That guy's policy is," Mass is everything, "so he's not going to give you anything."

Hikaru's "Magic Detection" has confirmed a few people who would like to ask this one.

Even if I don't give a offering, I guess I have about a knight or a spy in place to keep me safe.

Guided by Chancellor Sakakimiya Marquis was one of the less popular neighborhoods in the Imperial Castle —— the Book Browsing Room, which was blown out to the third floor, lined with bookshelves, with Lavia sparkling her eyes. "If you want to read it, go ahead," the prime minister gave permission, so it's Hikaru and Paula in the browsing room.

"And can you give me permission so easily? I guess a lot of valuable books. I'm glad to hear it."

Tea is served, and Hikaru snaps at the Chancellor as he drinks it. The tea brewed from the Prime Minister's hand was a deep green herbal tea.

Soothing feeling runs from throat to stomach.

"It's something anyone who's a nobleman who visited the Imperial Castle can read. I'm glad you don't mind."

"Right."

"You wanted a rare book as a reward for your escort. Is that because she...?

"Starface is a book bug."

"I see. The book is good. You can go through the ages by communicating wisdom. But sad, young people don't read books these days"

Listen, Hikaru laughed unexpectedly. I didn't expect to hear the phrase "reading away of young people these days" until I came to another world.

"Something strange?

"No, excuse me. Think of those troubles as being beyond time and space."

"I see. Indeed, when we were young, the elders told us, 'Young people don't read books these days'. Back then, there were a lot of outstanding people in the thought, and I didn't think it would compare to that..."

"Its value is not absolute, but when times go round they say the same thing again"

"If you say so, maybe so."

The door was knocked and the Emperor's visit was announced.

One of the emperors who came in probably has a smaller head than Hikaru because he's a man-norm, and while he was over 70 years old, it was also a pedigree trait to look young enough.

I could tell at first glance that I was an arm-writer, I could follow two fiercely eyed knights left and right. I keep an eye out for even Hikaru's fingertip movements, but that wasn't because I was on guard, but because I was interested.

(You've seen it somewhere... Yeah, that could be the knight I was following with my escort when I was heading from here to Vileocean)

Cagley just got to the table,

"It's been a long time, Silver Face"

"Compared to the length of Mannorm's life, the time I didn't see him would be like a blink"

"It is so"

Kagley says, without even a dust, and turns his gaze to the Chancellor.

"So, Marquis Sakakimiya, what about the reward to Silverface?

"Not yet, sir"

"... I remember telling you to tell me the rest because I did"

"It seems so. I remember you declined that order."

"Mmm."

Kagley looks at the Chancellor still, but where was the wind blowing.

What the hell are you talking about? and Hikaru takes a long time. I should have come here to get a "book," which is the reward of the escort. There were some stories like inviting you inside the mangnome.

"Silver face. As for the book, you may take whatever you like out of what is in its library."

"Right. I think Starface would love that."

Anyway, it's the Royal Castle library. There will be many books that are not usually available. No, I might rather get access to this library than get a book...... what a Hikaru thinks.

"But there are more interesting books in the rest than here. Why don't you come once?

"Ah. I refuse to talk about that"

Immediately turning down, the knights who refrained behind Cagley looked a little. Apparently, it was an honorable invitation, in this country.

"Is it the left..."

"Were you trying to make His Excellency the Chancellor say that invitation?

"No, I don't think so... well, as long as I did, I wonder if I'm willing to belong to the Empire"

"... what?

"I want to hire you. Salaries are 100 million guillans a year"

To much money, one of the knights snorted "fuggo". The other is peeling his eyes off.

"Oh, I don't like it?

Immediately turning down, one of the knights snorted "Buhick". The other one is even peeling his eyes off so it was about time his eyeballs fell off.

"Is it the left..."

Cagley glued visibly.

"Look, Your Majesty, didn't I mention it? That this man would not be tempted by money to decide his lord. Rather, he said it could have been offensive and harmful to the Empire."

"No, wait a minute, Chancellor. Did they think I (...) was such a pretty emotionally unstable guy?

"People who work like us always assume the worst."

"Oh well..."

Hikaru is a little shocked.

Even though I'm not as angry as I got an offer from a clerk.

"... you want to be free like an adventurer."

To Kagli's words, I shall be thrilled for a moment. Because I do usually live as an adventurer.

"Then Silver Face. You can stay at the Imperial Castle today. Is there enough room at night to talk about the rest?

"That's... I don't mind, okay? Put him by the Emperor's side."

"What now?"

The cabin carriage headed to Villeocéan with Cagley and the Chancellor. It is indeed "now more".

"Well, so is that."

It's settled.

Kaglai immediately took his seat and the Chancellor followed it and left the library. They're going to have meetings and meetings from now until the evening. Great men are also hard.

Hikaru and the others were free in the library —— the watch, of course, was on, but it coincided with reading time.

Lavia couldn't narrow down the book she wanted to get, she roared to the end, but the conclusion was that she wouldn't "get it".

"The contents of the book are important. What's here is too splendid a fitting to carry."

It was certainly not all "rare books" in this library that were decorated with gemstones or sizes that you could not hold with both hands. It is not envisaged that it will be carried.

It seemed like Lavia had decided to have the book read as a "reward" until time was critical. Hikaru was in favor of that too.

Books are best kept where they belong.

(There were some pretty interesting books.)

I thought I'd tell Paula later —— it had some magic written about some "holy" attributes.
