Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

05. Good Men, Completely Deceive Your Enemy

In a carriage bound for the Kingdom of Silver Moon.

Only two of my magically autopilot carriages were me and Eliza.

Eliza is dressed as a maid, and the order of seats in the carriage corresponds to that.

When riding a carriage for more than one person, the place to sit varies depending on each other's identity and relationship.

Now I'm in the upper seat, and Maid Eliza is sitting in the lower seat.

Eliza is thorough in these places when she is a maid.

"Are you really glad, sir"

"What?

"Bring those two with you"

That's what Eliza told me, and I saw my feet.

indoors called carriages (,) hence my shadow, which can only be seen as thin and blurry.

There are two of them, Leeche and Zella.

"I'm a little surprised you pointed that out."

Frankly I was surprised.

Whether Emperor Eliza or Maid Eliza,

"At times like this, you're safest by my side! I thought that was what you said."

"That's right."

Eliza nodded in no time.

That's true.

"I'm not, and if I bring you in that way..."

"What if I come?

I, Eliza, with my neck hanging, answered blushing.

"If I bring you into the shadows, you'll settle in, just like everyone else..."

Eliza crushing a blur and something, I can't hear you very well.

I can't hear you, but I didn't dare ask you back.

Emperor or maid.

Eliza is a smart girl.

At least. "Necessary" is a clear type of child.

I don't think that's necessary, more than just to be clear.

That was apparently correct, and in just a few seconds, Eliza came looking at me with her usual expression, as if nothing had happened.

"So, Master, what are you going to do now?

"Yeah, I'll go get the golden apple first"

"Take it?

"You can't delude Jianmae unless you do it right."

"That too? Is there anything I can do to help?

Silver Moon Kingdom, Spiritual Flagyle.

A king's capital by the name of a spiritual land, but in fact, it is only about the size of a large city in the countryside.

I feel like this if I think it's an imperial country, and if the King's Capital is on this scale, I can't help but think Leeche is "never going to beat the Empire".

Outside that king's capital, a well-known line was picking us up.

About 100 soldiers in the rear, about 20 civilians in the middle, and a middle-aged man who is good at the beginning but seems weak.

I'll take Eliza, get out of the carriage and head for it.

Approaching a distance to the point where normal conversations were possible, middle-aged people knelt on the ground in accordance with imperial ceremonial courtesies.

"Aurora Silvermoon. I extend my best regards to His Highness the Father of the Nation."

Following Aurora, the civilians and soldiers all knelt on the ground.

The sight of more than a hundred faces kneeling was quite spectacular.

"Mr. Aurora, you're the king."

"Yes."

"Oh well. Yeah, okay, so get up already. I can't even talk like this."

Speaking of kings, it's a kingdom, and I'm an imperial superior named Father of the Nation.

Aurora normally took the courtesy of her subordinates.

"I checked before I came, Aurora, you're 900 this year"

"With the mercy of the Empire, we continue to live in the Spiritual Land"

I saw Aurora again that she was going to be 900.

A middle-aged man who doesn't look very 900, that's just like Reache, who looks 256 and still looks like a girl.

Immortality because he's a direct royalty living in a spiritual land, so he still looks middle-aged, even though he's 900.

You look young, but you feel weak and unreliable.

"Have you read the letter yet?

"Yes, I'll show you to the golden apple tree"

"Yeah, please."

I nodded and took Maid Eliza, who had not spoken a word during the conversation between my father and the king, back to the carriage.

"" "Oooh!?

When I got in the carriage and moved it, I heard a soldier-like cheer.

"I wonder what's going on"

"Because I don't normally see automated carriages."

Eliza explained it to me.

I see, has that raised your voice of amazement?

King Aurora and the civilians lead the way, and the soldiers escort them.

In that state, we proceeded with the automatic carriage.

The carriage stopped after going roughly half an hour on people's legs.

Open your front and look out.

"Oh."

Unexpectedly, this one raised a voice of amazement.

It was a fantastic beauty.

A large tree with a golden apple is shining reflecting the sun's light.

No, this isn't just a reflex, it's glowing itself.

Yes, it was a beautiful and fantastic glow, about the time I thought about it.

Jump off the carriage and talk to Aurora.

"This is the golden apple."

"Thank you very much."

"When you're so beautiful, you feel guilty about taking it. Are you sure about this?

"Of course it is. Instead of luck to the Father of the Nation, if you say one word."

"It's a gift to His Majesty, so I'm really anxious if I don't do it myself.... Yes, may I try one? It's a little frightening to give without knowing the flavor."

"Of course you are"

When Aurora commanded, one of the clerks went to the great tree and took a well ripened golden apple.

"You get more and more radiant when you take it."

"It is growing with the power of the Spirit Land, so to speak, if it is a Divine Tree"

"I see."

After Aurora answered, she glanced at the civilian.

The clerk peeled the apple with his accustomed hand and put it on a pre-prepared plate.

Aurora took it and offered it to me with both hands.

"Enjoy, please"

"Yeah, hey, you."

I turned around and called Eliza who followed me.

It's in front of the Aurora and the others, so I didn't call them by name.

"Give it a try"

"Am I?

Amazing Eliza.

"Yeah."

"Excuse me, Your Highness Father, but why to the maid...?

"This child is the closest of my maids to His Majesty, and it's no exaggeration to say that I know His Majesty's taste preferences best all over the world"

"Did you?"

"So, yes, go ahead"

Encouraged by me, Eliza put the apple in her mouth even as she looked at me and didn't know one thing about her sincerity right now.

――

Moment after moment, I opened my eyes to surprise.

"Ko, this is"

"I wonder, Your Majesty, do you like this apple?

"Yeah! I'm sure you'll love it."

"Oh well. That's good."

Eliza was seriously surprised.

I expected a very tasty golden apple, but I felt it far exceeded my expectations.

Emotions leaked honestly for a moment, it shouldn't be a lie or a make (,).

I saw such a golden apple, I saw a great tree, I saw an Aurora.

"What's wrong?

"Can I have another one?"

"Okay, hey -"

"Yeah, I'll do it myself."

Aurora commands me to stop the civilian trying to move and get close to the Great Tree myself.

And I put the bags I had prepared in advance on an affordable apple.

The golden glow is wrapped in a bag and invisible.

"Your Highness, you don't have to do that. There are no insects in the golden apple."

That's what one of the clerks has said, a tone of voice that looks slightly down.

You're trying to show off the farming technique that the kid heard about - that kind of came through.

I did not answer and waited a moment.

I waited about three minutes, then took the bag and held the apple.

And skin it with your own hands, and put it on a plate.

"Yes, go ahead"

Give it to Eliza again, Eliza pampered, and slapped herself on the cheek.

I knew it was delicious, and now I'm not going to give you an unusual look.

But.

"Ahhh......"

The moment she ate the apple, Eliza's eyes became trons.

I get a tranced look on my face, and I get into the snare.

"Ko, what's this?

"Try the king too."

That's how I give Aurora the apple as well.

Aurora, with her rough apple in her mouth, has an equally tranced look, which makes her feel extremely impressed.

Application of preservation bags, even more limited application of fertilizer bags.

If you set someone without magic as the owner, time will flow faster in the bag than outside, and things will rot at super speed.

But the golden apple that lowers its roots to the spiritual land does not rot.

Even if it accelerates, it just gets more mature.

"Your Majesty sent me here because I could do this."

I said that to Aurora and the others.

Spiritual Fragile, a shrine.

Two men with faces on their faces had a soothing look on their faces.

"I was wondering what would happen at first."

"Um, I didn't know that Alexander Carlisle was coming. I thought you'd seen our plan through."

"But that apple is delicious. I'm sure he's just picking up apples for the Emperor."

"I'll give you as many apples as you want, let's get you home in a good mood"

"Oh, in the meantime, let's get ready for proselytizing"

Two people snorting at each other.

They were relieved of vigilance when Alec showed off the super-speed aging of the golden apple.

That's what Alec was after, and they're just completely rolled over the palm of his hand.

We didn't realize that at all.
