โEven this kind of thing...... is as expected from His Majestyโs.โ
After saying this, Jean returned to a serious expression โ an expression befitting a first Vizier.
โIโll make haste with the Saraluria matter. And the restoration of the dragonโs vein.โ
โYes, it will be a test for the future. You can use as much of the budget as you can.โ
โUnderstood.โ
Jean gave a final bow and left the study.
Drops of magic power like this, produced using the dragon vein.
It has the potential to change peopleโs lives.

Because I thought there would be more secret talks from now on, I moved to a type of inn that rents out a separate house from last night.
The inn had a large garden, and in the morning I woke up and stood in the garden.
The morning sun was gently rising and morning dew was dripping from the trees.
The trees were blown by the wind, and a single fallen leaf fluttered down.
As it was falling in front of me, I raised my hand and tapped it with my fingers like knocking on a door.
Poof!
There was a small crunching sound, and the fallen leaves shattered into pieces in mid-air.
The fallen leaves were literally shattered, as if they were dead leaves, even though they were supposed to contain moisture.
โA-awesome .......โ
From behind me, I heard Zoeโs voice.
She had returned from outside and was marveling with her eyes wide open, having seen what I had done.
โWas this .......Masterโs power now?โ
โYeah.โ
โThatโs so ...... huh?โ
โWhatโs wrong?โ
I asked back, but Zoe didnโt answer, on the contrary, she muttered to herself.
โLeviathan-sama, Bahamut-sama, Behemoth-sama, Fuwawa-sama, Apophis-sama, Ziz-sama, .......โ
She counted as she muttered the names of the powerful magical tools in my possession.
Zoey, however, looked increasingly puzzled after she had muttered all of them.
โSo, whose power was that?โ
โYeah, I see. Youโve been by my side all these years, so you had some idea of everyoneโs power.โ
โYes.โ
โJust as you wondered, it wasnโt any of them.โ
โEh?โ
โIt was my own power.
I came here to find out about the salt tax, and while Iโm here nurture Zoe as well.
I canโt talk about me thinking like that if Iโm not improving at all.
My current status and my experience so far combined.
I spent a night thinking about what I could do, which led me to my present attack.
Itโs easy to swing out an attack with force.
However, I got the idea from the fact that clapping your hands makes a better sound if you focus on the momentary impact rather than just hitting them, and I tried a strike that concentrates on the surface โ or rather, on the point.
As a result, I created a technique that shatters fallen leaves fluttering in the air.
โJust by yourself,...... I knew Master was awesome.............โ
โMore importantly, have you talked to the guys?โ
โEh? Yeah......โ
Zoe glanced around uneasily as she said this.
โDonโt worry, Zizโs power controls the wind around us.โ
โWind?โ
โ Air is what transmits the sound. I manipulated the wind so that the sound would not leak outside. If itโs indoors, it can travel through walls, but in the garden, itโs fine.โ
โI see. Then I will report to His Majesty.โ
โUmu.โ
โWhen I told them that I had used the , reens I had received to bribe Kate, they were very surprised. So I asked for more money and they gave it to me.โ
โHow much?โ
โEh?โ
โHow much did they give you?โ
โThe same amount, ,000 reens.โ
As I smiled a little, Zoe tilted her head curiously.
โWhat is it, Your Majesty?โ
โIf someone like Zoe came to my door, I would pay at least twice as much, or even ten times as much. Itโs a classic example of a strike when the iron is hot.โ
โIt just seemed odd to me that it was the same amount.โ
โUmm, ...... you mean?โ
I smiled again at Zoe, who was still not quite sure what to think.
โEven though someone came in with that kind of money to spend, they only offered the same amount. At best, heโs a B-grade, or at best, an A-grade, even if he has the advantage of being in the area. Heโs not stupid, but heโs not great either.โ
Explaining it in terms of status and comparing it to the โ+โ.
โI see! I suppose you could say that.โ
Zoe nodded with a knowing look on her face.
โAfter informing them of His Majestyโs response. The other side was divided on whether to go on as is or change their approach. Even I could tell, there was a hesitation, and not a good one.โ
โAnd theyโve been asking me what His Majesty prefers.โ
โMy preference, huh. What did you say?โ
โHumans โ especially gifted women.โ
It is almost a hundred-point answer.
No lie, considering what I have been doing, that answer is true enough.
But it is also very limited.
โWell done, Zoe.โ
โThank you very much!โ
Zoe broke into a happy smile.
โThen I wonder if they will send someone like Evelyn-san.โ
A woman of talent.
From Zoeโs point of view, it would be reminiscent of Evelyn, a senior maid and a rising member of the Thirteenth Household, who has now risen to the rank of Governor.
But,
โThat would be overrating them.โ
โReally?โ
โA B-grade person would send in a skilled prostitute or an entertainer, at best, with information such as that.โ
โHaah, ...... I see. ......โ
Well, weโll see.
โWell, now that we know how theyโre coming out. Letโs go out today and pretend to investigate, and wait for their contact. Iโm sure theyโll try to get some โgifted girlโ close to me.โ
โYes! I will prepare for it!โ
Zoe nodded, ran inside the inn, and prepared to leave.
Out on the town, it was another slow day.
The city was so empty of life and goods that it was hard to imagine that six horse-drawn carriages could stand side by side at the same time on the street.
As Zoe had told me, it seems that the city is continuing with the guise of a recession, which is almost overdone.
I wonder how much money they are holding on to at all.
At this rate, I wouldnโt be surprised if the other side says boldly, โThereโs nothing we canโt do in this city.โ
Thatโs how much they are creating a situation.
โMaster,......, this means ...... that people are forced to live a different life than usual, doesnโt it?โ
โI still canโt believe ...... that people are following it.โ
โI guess the guilds, or the associations, must be very powerful. Well, they have money, of course, they do.โ
โIs that so?โ
โYeah. You know about the โseparate houseโ that the Princes have?โ
โEh? Umm, ...... you mean the โvillageโ as we call it?โ
โThatโs half incorrect.โ
I giggled.
โItโs just a โseparate house,โ away from the capital. Just that, it is usually the same size as a village or a city.โ
โAh, yes.โ
His Majesty the Emperor and other members of the royal family often have their own towns and villages called villas or residences.
The thousands of people who live in these villas are the servants of the royal family.
โIn the villa, if the main royal family says it is black, it is black, and if they say the sun rises in the west, they are right. If the villa is inspected, some members of the royal family will order the villa to refrain from various activities during that period, wonโt they? Itโs the same thing, only on an exasperatingly large scale.โ
Zoe gulped, swallowed her saliva, and looked around.
It wasnโt on the level of โ slightly biggerโ in scale, but she understood it metaphorically, and that seemed to give her a small taste of the power that the salt merchants had.
โMm?โ
โWhat is it, Master?โ
โOver there, the โbusinessโ is looking good.โ
I pointed to the end of the main street.
The city had deliberately created a false image of recession to deceive my eyes, but that one corner was as bustling and lively as the night I entered the city.
As I approached there, with Zoe in tow, I could hear the conversations of the people of the city.
โThereโs an amazing songstress from the capital over at that store over there.โ
โA songstress from the capital?โ
โYes, Iโve already heard the song, and it was great. Itโs something youโll remember for the rest of your life.โ
โIs it really that great?โ
Overhearing the conversation of passersby, who were paying attention here, I exchanged glances with Zoe.
This is it. We nodded to each other, and from the fragments of conversation we heard, we headed toward the store where the songstress or whoever she was was.
โAs expected of you, Master, you were right!โ
Zoey was very excited that my prediction came true.
Shortly thereafter, she-no I was surprised as well.
As we walked to the front of the restaurant, we heard a familiar singing voice.
โThis is ...... Alice-san ......?โ
The singing voice coming faintly from inside the store was definitely Aliceโs. | ใใใใใฏๅฏ่ซใๅขใใใใใจๆใฃใฆใๆจๅคใใใฏ้ขใๅฎถใ่ฒธใๅใใฟใคใใฎๅฎฟใซ็งปใฃใใ

โNoah-samaโ
I borrowed a couch a short distance away, sat down and waited, when Shirley came over, bowed, and reported.
โThat man has died, sir.โ
โAll right.โ
โAnd there are some police officers on their way. They must have heard the commotion, but when they heard that Noah-sama was there, they seemed troubled from afar.โ
โMaybe.โ
A police officer is commonly called a โpolicemanโ.[่ญฆๅ(Keiri) = Police Officer and ใใพใใใใ(Omawarisan) = Policeman and yes kanji for the guard(่ญฆๅๅก) is different]
This comes from the word โmawaruโ meaning to visit several places in order to maintain public order.[TN: Here ใพใใ(Mawaru)=โ to turn/to visit several placesโ is used, while ใพใใ(mawari) means circumference or rotation which may differ on Kanji Used]
The Police officers in the capital are, of course, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice.
โGo get them.โ
โYes, sir.โ
Shirley bowed again and went to deliver my order.
A few moments later, two young police officers arrived.
Both of them were in a hurry, and when they got in front of me, their legs got tangled and they rolled over and knelt down to me.
โY-Yo-Your Highness, we didnโt know you were here.โ
โWe are extremely sorry!โ
The two of them looked terrified.
They didnโt have any manners at all, but I let them pass.
โIf there are two of you, thatโs just fine. One of you โ you over there, youโre going to clean up that body. If he has a family, have them take him in. If not, have him cremated immediately.โ
โAnd you, go to the Ministry of the Imperial Household. Report and record that Daren, the First Prince Retainer, has been punished under the Imperial Household Law for disrespecting the Thirteenth Prince.โ
โUnderstood, sir.โ
โGo.โ
The two of them ran off in delight.
They misunderstood that I was definitely offended and were relieved that I hadnโt taken my anger out on them.
Shirley came back, replacing them.
โWhat do we do now, Noah-sama?โ
โGo get one of those handcuffs.โ
โThatโs all very well, but ...... why?โ
Shirley tilted her head curiously.
She carried out my orders and kept whipping Daren until he was dead.
Because she actually did it and made sure that Darren died, why handcuff him now? Itโs natural to have this question.
โTheyโre for me, so Iโll just use the kidsโ ones.โ
โEhh ......?โ
Shirley was even more surprised and puzzled.
The First Princeโs residence is located on the perimeter of the royal palace, the same as my own.
I took Shirley there, not in a carriage, but on foot.
On my hands are the handcuffs that Shirley procured for me.
With the handcuffs on, I approached the gatekeeper.
โHello there, Your Highness the thirtโeh?โ
He knew my face and almost smiled to show his respect, but when he saw that I was handcuffed, he became speechless.
โUhmm...... what is this...โ
โIโm here to apologize to my brother. Can you please report this?โ
โEhh? Ah, sure! One moment, please.โ
Although the situation was far beyond the capacity of a simple gatekeeper, he did what he thought was best.
He made me wait there and then went inside the residence to make a report.
A few moments later, an elderly man appeared from inside the compound.
His name is Coyle, and he has been working as a butler at the First Princeโs residence for a long time.[TN: ใณใคใซ = Coil, changed it to Coyle]
โLong time no see, Your Highness.โ
โIโm sorry to barge in on you like this. Is my brother at home?โ
โGilbert-sama is waiting inside. Please come in.โ
Unlike the gatekeepers, as expected of a man who has worked as a butler at the First Princeโs residence for many years, he was completely unfazed when he saw that I had come in handcuffs.
Led by Coyle, I entered the First Princeโs residence with Shirley, who was still fidgety, in tow.
We were led into a room with gorgeous furnishings.
It was the highest-grade room in the parlor, with several priceless gifts from His Majesty that could be seen at a glance.
Inside the room, Gilbert was looking out the window, but when I entered the room, he turned around and came over to me.
โOh, good to see you, Noah. Hmm? Whatโs with the handcuffs, is this some kind of new game?โ
Gilbert looked at my handcuffs and asked with a carefree smile on his face.
โIโve come to apologize to you, brother.โ
โApology? All of a suddenโ
โI have just disposed of Daren, Brotherโs Retainer. I want to apologize for what I did without consulting you.โ
After I said that, I gave a brief explanation of what had happened on Cobalt Street.
โThatโs a given. He deserves to die for being a Retainer and talking down to the Prince. Butโโ
Gilbert picked his chin and looked up at the ceiling, a thoughtful expression on his face.
โDaren......Daren......Hmm, I donโt remember.โ
Coyle, the butler who had been showing us around, opened his mouth.
โThis is the name of the man who was transferred from this residence to the Ministry of the Imperial Household a few years ago.โ
โAh!โ
Gilbert clapped his hands.
โI remember now, thatโs him. You donโt have to worry about him.โ
Gilbert smirked.
โI had to fire him for misbehaving. Thatโs why heโs not much of a Retainer. Donโt worry about it, Noah.โ
...... Oh, I see, so thatโs what happened.
โThank you very much.โ
I immediately bowed my head.
โYouโve done rather well, Noah. If I had let him get away with it, he would have continued to misbehave under my name. Iโd rather thank you for defending my honor.โ
With that, Gilbert squared his chin at Coyle, took the key, and uncuffed me himself.
โYouโre still amazing. His Majesty has appointed you Minister of Justice โ the guardian of the law. Normally, you wouldnโt go so far as to get yourself punished .โ
โThank you very much, brother.โ
While taking advantage of Gilbertโs story, which I wanted to put it that way, we made some appropriate small talk and then left the First Princeโs residence.
After leaving the mansion, Shirley and I walked around the royal palace.
โUm ...... Noah-sama.โ
Shirley, who had been looking as if she had been pinched by a fox ever since I handcuffed myself, boldly asked me.
โWhat was that about?โ
โWhat do you mean?โ
โSomething ......, um, ...... something .......โ
Shirley tilted her head, desperately trying to find the words.
However, she canโt seem to find the right words, so she grunted.
โDid you find my brotherโs attitude strange?โ
โThatโs it! But I donโt know whatโs so strange about it. ......โ
โHe was furious.โ
โEh? But he seemed so calm.โ
โHeโs furious, but heโs not going to be hostile with me just over one of his Retainer. Weโre both Princes, and Iโm also the Minister of Justice. My patronage is greater than my brotherโs now.โ
โHah. ......โ
โAnd I went there to apologize, myself. His younger brother was the first to tell him he had done something wrong. As the eldest child, you must show some maturity. You know that, right?โ
โAh, yes! I understand! Thatโs right, he canโt get angry if you apologize first. I see. ......amazing.โ
Shirley rolled her tongue in admiration.
โAnd thereโs one more thing.โ
โIf we leave this matter open-ended, my brother will harass me later. Itโs almost as if weโre enemies.โ
โYes.โ
โBut I came to apologize, and he had to forgive me. And a nobleman has a face. Itโs shameful to retract something once youโve said it.โ
โThinking that far ...... awesome .......โ
Seeing Shirleyโs admiration, I smiled.
Well, I didnโt have to go this far, but I guess you can never be too careful.
The next day, after finishing my work at the Ministry of Justice, I came home in the early afternoon to find Dylan, my butler, greeting me at the door.
โWhatโs up, Dylan?โ
โYou have a visitor, sir.โ
โA visitor?โ
โYes, heโs from the Ministry of Imperial Household. Please come in and see him in the parlor.โ
โ...... Okay.โ
I walked to the parlor where the man had been sent.
As soon as I entered, the seated man stood up as if he had been jolted and bowed to me on one knee.
โIt is a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness. My name is Don Oates.โ[Don Oats, why OATS]
With a slight tug of my chin, I walked over to the sofa and sat down.
โYou may sit down.โ
โThank you.โ
Don gets up and sits back down on the edge of the couch where he was sitting before in a reserved manner.
โI wanted to talk to you about yesterday.โ
โI was impressed by His Highness Thirteenโs treatment. I would like to come under Your Highness!โ
โYou want to join me?โ
โYes! By all means.โ
โAll right. But Iโm the Minister of Justice, itโs hard to get you promoted in the Ministry of the Imperial Household.โ | ใใใขๆงใ

โNo problem at all! Your Highness can use me when he needs me!โ
โAll right. Iโll keep that in mind.โ
โThank you, sir!โ
Don bowed his head happily.
After watching him leave through the window, I called Dylan.
โFind out what you can about the man. And be careful.โ
Without asking why Dylan took my order and left the room.
The next day.
I woke up in the morning and had the maids wash my face, brush my teeth, and set my hair as usual when Dylan came to me.
โI have something to report. We found out some details about this Don.โ
โIt seems to have been cleverly concealed, but both his parents are servants of His Highness the First.โ
โHeโs quite committed.โ
Sometimes, noblemen let their servants marry each other.
The house of the aristocracy, especially the Prince, is very strict, and you cannot stop if you want to, and since you are in contact with the Prince on a regular basis, you are restricted from socializing in order to maintain secrecy.
Thatโs why they often arrange marriages between their servants.
And, as a matter of course, children born to servants also swear allegiance to their masters.
That is what it means to be a servant of the nobility.
โPerhaps His Highness the First sent him to be his spy.โ
โI suppose. Do not let anyone find out that you know that. If he being a spy is known, he can be used in a certain way.โ
โHahโ
Dylan paused for a breath and said in a different tone than when he was reporting.
โYouโve got a great eye for seeing through a person with just one glance.โ
Eyesight, huhโ-or rather itโs the sight in front of my eye.
Itโs a status thatโs always in the corner of my vision.
Even when I allowed Don, the โ+โ didnโt increase at all.
It was so obvious that he was not working for me in my heart. | ใๆงใใพใใ! ๆฎฟไธใซๅฟ

I left the restaurant with Byron immersed in the lingering effects of the song.
I got an unexpected satisfaction from Aliceโs evolution.
She grew! I knew it would happen sometime, but I didnโt expect it to be this fast.
It was a happy miscalculation.
While savoring the lingering effects, I asked Byron, who had followed me.
โSo, what are you doing here?โ
โI was just passing by and saw His Highness.โ
โYouโre lying.โ
โEh?โ
Byron was surprised, I turned around with a smile as I walked and looked up at the merchant I had just met.
โA merchant wouldnโt waste his time, especially if heโs a successful merchant.โ
โ......โ
This time it was Byron who was exclaiming in a different way.
He stared at me with his eyes wide as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.
โWhatโs the matter,โ
โNo, Iโm surprised that at your age ...... and a nobleman, you understand merchants so well.โ
โMe, on the other hand, itโs kind of my job to waste time.โ
โYour Highness.โ
I smiled at him, and glanced behind me.
The shop where Alice is located is slowly moving away from me.
Her patronage comes from a peculiar aristocratic habit.
To put it bluntly, itโs a form of debauchery, and debauchery also means enjoying the waste.
โIf youโre a merchant, you wouldnโt be raising them like that.โ
โNo. ...... Oh, well,โ
โWhat were you about to say?โ
โEh, its ......โ
Byron stammered on in an awkward tone, but eventually gave up and replied.
โSome people would spend money or time to find a mistress.โ
He remembered that Iโm six years old, so he interrupted before speaking.
โSo?โ
โYes, I would like to ask Your Highness to do me a favor ...... Iโm sure you know that itโs time to hire some servants at the Royal Palace this year.โ
โHmm.โ
Byron is right.
Once a year, the royal palace hires a large number of female servants in bulk.
Although nominally itโs a recruitment of servants, if someone catches the eye of His Majesty, they are ordered to work the night shift and have the chance to become a concubine, etc.
Thatโs why the selection criteria are so strict, and the number of people who apply is high, making every year a tight squeeze.
โWhatโs the matter with that?โ
โWell, you know what they tend to do, you know?โ
โYou want to send someone to the palace.โ
โ......โ
Byron nodded with a straight face.
The โgovernmentโ and the โ businessโ have been inseparable from each other since ancient times.
If a person in the palace who is in charge of the situation is in the palace, he or she will be able to get information as soon as possible, and if she becomes a queen or even an empress, it will be a great advantage for business.
This is what Byron wants to do.
โOf course, I wonโt ask for free. I have already sent my sentiments to the mansion.โ
Paying it forward, or donโt do it.
It would be second-rate to say โWhen we succeedโโ here.
So, what to do?
As long as I take my share, I donโt mind.
Iโm the prince, the emperorโs son.
As a prince, I can take a merchantโs gift with a simple โwell doneโ and be done with it.
Thatโs the status of a prince.
But I like this man.
That girl he found and adopted.
So I like this man, Byron, for doing it.
So I started thinking about what we could do.
Suddenly, two faces popped into my head.
One is Alice, whom I just parted with, and the other one is the Emperor in the palace.
His Majesty is very fond of me now, and if I recommend him, he will readily accept my recommendation.
โThere is one.
โ...... I can put my recommendation on, it if sheโs the kind of girl I like.โ
After I said that, I glanced behind me โ in the direction of where Alice was.
It wasnโt unconditional, I could feel that she really was someone I liked.
Byron was apparently smart.
After alternating between me and the store where Alice was, he bowed his head in great delight.
โThank you! Iโll choose a girl who fits the bill.โ
โYeah. Well, youโve got one shot at the real thing, but I can give you as many tries as you want to qualify.โ
I would add, lest I be misunderstood by the ingratitude and no-goodness.
โFor your generosity, my lord, thank you!
โHmm ...... you still look like you have something to say.โ
I read it in Byronโs face as he raised his head.
โI can see that look of determination on your face, and I can tell.โ
โYour Highness the Thirteenth, Iโm honored by your wisdom.โ
โStart talking.โ
โYes, ......, if you would allow me to put His Highnessโ insignia on my board.โ
This is amazing.
Putting my insignia on the board.
Which means heโs going to be completely under my command.
โYou sure?โ
โYes! Itโs only been a short time since weโve met, but having seen firsthand what a great man His Highness has been, I hope to be allowed to join your command.โ
โYeah, then okay.โ
โThe only thing I wonโt tolerate is betrayal.โ
โThank you very much!โ
Byron got down on one knee to me in spite of the fact that we were on the street.
At that moment.
Name: Noah Ararat
The th prince of the Ararat Empire
Gender: Male
With Byron under my command, I had a โ+โ in both intelligence and spirit.
At night, I look at the status in my room.
I was looking at the statuses that had been raised due to Byron becoming a subordinate.
It was about time I filled in the whole thing.
If I hadnโt blown up that grimoire, I would have gotten a โ+โ on the wind, but well, it wouldnโt matter if I said that now.
Just to be sure, I called a servant to call up my โ public โ status as well.
Name: Noah Ararat
Gender: Male

It reflects well on this side too.
I was satisfied with this.
There will be more to come.
I am the emperorโs son, the 13th prince.
It is difficult for me not to have more people in my position.
And the more people who are underneath, the more โ+โ minutes they have, and their actual abilities will increase.
The fact that it will actually go up as well is proven by the fact that I made Leviathan a loyal dog.
Iโll just continue to stay a nobleman and increase the number of subordinates and Iโll get stronger and stronger.
The future I imagine is bright and Iโm satisfied.
But something strange happens.
โโ!โ
I stood up quickly as if I was being bounced.
The status Iโm looking at now has changed.
The 13th prince of the Ararat Empire
Level: 1 / โ
HPFMPFStrengthF+FStaminaF+FIntelligenceF+FSpiritF+FSpeedFDexterityF+FLuckF+F FireFWaterE+S

The one at Water has decreased.
It was SS right before and now itโs S.
What happened?
The โ+โ is a correction for the subordinates, and the water SS was attached to me when I brought Leviathan to his knees, and the S was attached to me the moment His Majesty declared Almeria to be my enclosure right after I was born.
In other words โ an anomaly(incident) in Almeria.
Whatโs more, itโs an incident that makes me out of my control.
I ran out.
โMaster,โ
As I ran out of the room, the maid who was waiting in the hallway was startled and followed me.
โIs something wrong, master?โ
โGet the carriage ready, weโre going to the palace.โ
Yes!
The Maid wasnโt in position to ask, โWhy?โ , she hastily obeyed my orders and prepared a carriage.
It was night, and in spite of the fact that I had come out of the blue to visit him, His Majesty met with me.
In His Majestyโs study, which is the size of a library, I got down on one knee and reported to His Majesty.
โSomething is happening to Almeria, Your Majesty.โ
โ...... How do you know?โ
What is this reaction of His Majesty?
Itโs as ifโ
โDid you know about this?โ
โNot until I got indications.โ
โSo,โ
I looked up from my position on one knee.
โThere should some anomaly that happened,โ
His Majesty raised his eyebrows and stared at me.
A few moments later, His Majestyโs confidant, Eunuch Cruz, came in and spoke something to His Majesty in his ear.
โI see. All right.โ
His Majesty nodded, and Cruz bent down and left the study.
His Majesty sighed one sigh, then looked at me.
โโAmazing, Noah,โ
His Majesty nodded.
โThereโs been a revolt in Almeria.โ | ๆญใฎไฝ้ปใซๆตธใใคใคใใใคใญใณใซๅบใๅพใซใใใ

I looked at Henry, who was amazed and was lost in thought for a moment.
It was understandable what Henry meant when he said, โThe flow of war would changeโ.
โThe war was more trouble with wounded soldiers, I suppose.โ
โYes. We need more men to care for the wounded and treat them.โ
โFuu, death in battle would have been much better.โ[TN: Donโt wanna say bad about MC, but wtf man]
Henry silently bowed his head.
Of course, the fewer the deaths, the better.
However, in the short term, the dead are less of a burden on the army than wounded soldiers.
โAs expected of Your Majesty. I only realized this a month after I entered the Ministry of War.โ
โIf this potion that can heal minor wounds in an instant could be mass-produced,......, how much would it increase our military strength?โ
โ...... even estimating lightly, three times as much.โ
Henry thought about it for a moment and stated simply.
I wonder if it will go up that much....... No, I guess it will.
So Henry was not joking when he said โThe flow of the war will change.โ.
I thought for a moment and turned to Jessica first.
โJessica.โ
โTake it with you, and keep it. Empire law states that front-line generals may not be transferred for personal reasons under any circumstances. The Empire is a โnation of warriors,โ and that must not change under any circumstances.
โ...... yes.โ
Jessica looked even more serious as she realized I was โabout to say somethingโ.
โYou are my concubine, and whatever pretense you make, it will be for private reasons. It can only be seen as such. In other words,โ
โThe next time you return, it will either be in triumph or in defeat.โ
Another possibility is to return as a corpseโ but I left it out.
โObviously, I want a triumphant return.โ
โโYes!โ
โDo you get it?โ
โEh?โ
Jessica nodded enthusiastically, but then she paused.
โThe Empire is a nation of warriors, so changing the system to appoint you, a concubine, as a general will be acceptable. But, normally, it would not be so. But it didโ-why,โ
โ......โ
Jessica looked at me with a serious expression and held her breath.
โI changed it for you because I thought you can do it.โ
โโ-!โ
Jessicaโs demeanor changed as I looked at her.
She was already a fantastic woman, but now she was even more so.
My eyes were not mistaken.
Jessica left the room once to form her immediate unit, leaving just Henry and me there.
Henry stared at the door she had left and exhaled, โOh, .......
โThatโs amazing.โ
โHmm?โ
โIn just that moment when she received His Majestyโs words, she became stronger that I felt as if she had been training somewhere for a year. No ordinary human being can have that kind of fighting spirit.โ
โShe had it right from the start. As I told her, that is why I changed the system.โ
โYour Majestyโs grasp of peopleโs hearts and minds is indeed impressive.โ
โThat said, ...... going back to our conversation, we need to find a way to mass produce the potions.โ
Henry nodded with a serious look.
โI wish I had remained completely ignorant of it, but now that I know it exists, ......โ
โUmu.โ
I stroked my chin and thought for a moment.
โYou are certain that potions have existed throughout history, correct?โ
Henry nodded profoundly.
I had known about recovery magic, but I had never heard of potions until Henry told me.
But since Henry was so sure, he must have read about it in a book.
โAny clues as to how to make it?โ
โMaybe. If there were, one would have tried to reproduce it by now.โ
โYes. It is worth studying, even with the Empireโs annual budget. If only we had a clue.โ
โItโs truly that much worth.โ
Henry said, โeven estimating lightly, three times as muchโ.
For the Empire, land of warriors and constant conquerors, this was more important than anything else.
Henry mentioned the annual budget, but it is worth having the research done even if it means tilting the whole nation.
In history, there have been countless Emperors who have ruined themselves and their nations in the pursuit of immortality.
The potion is something that the Empire needs as much as, if not more than, that.
โBut if there are no clues at all, thereโs no way to do it.โ
โYes. ......โ
โEven though the royal library numbers in the tens of thousands. ......โ
Henry quietly shook his head.
I see.
Speaking of the royal library, it has the most important collection of knowledge that exists in this land.
But it is still not there.
............. Well, if there were, we would have reproduced it by now.
There is no clue.
Thatโs the usual case.
I had one thing in mind.
โHenry, you know about Livyathan, right?โ
โHuh ...... His Majestyโs magic sword?โ
Henry asked cautiously.
Livyathan โ originally Leviathan.
Henry was there when the Crown Prince brought it.
Come to think of it, weโve known each other for a long time.
Knowing that Leviathan had become Livyahtan led to a discreet response.
โNo, not that way. Do you know anything else?โ
โ............,โ!โ
After tilting his head in thought, Henry hastened to ask,
โThe Silver Age?โ
โYes, Livyathan, one of the Four Sages from the Silver Age.โ
โDonโt tell me!?
I gave a small nod.
I have not heard it directly, but I am sure of it.
The mysterious voice โthat I heard before in a dream-like place.
Luthiya is Bahamut.
And Leviathan is Livyathan.
After being convinced of each, I became more and more certain.
Livyathan, one of the Four Sages, is this Livyathan.
This led to another fact.
โLivyathan.โ
I raised my hand and called out Livyathan.
The humanoid, non-human Livyathan appeared and knelt down before me.
โYou wished to see me, my Lord?โ
โAnswer me, were you around when recovery magic existed?โ
โYes, I was aiding the Emperor of the time.โ
โOhh, .......โ
Henry marveled.
He was smart and understood immediately.
There wasnโt any information on recovery magic and potions in any books.
I instantly understood that it existed in the mind of the โliving witnessโ in front of me.
โAmazing .......โ
Henry looked at me with a look of deep respect as I retrieved the lost knowledge.
โYou know about potions, too.โ
โTell me.โ
โThere is a magic channel in the earth called the โDragon Veinโ.โ
โDragon veins.โ
I mumbled in return and rolled it on my tongue.
Itโs a word Iโve never heard before.
I look at Henry and ask, โYou got somethingโ
Henry comes back to himself and shakes his head.
Then I asked Livyathan again.
โWhat is this dragon vein?โ
โA river of magic power, so to speak. Starting as a small stream, it becomes a tributary and joins the mainstream, which eventually leads to the great ocean.โ
โ...... is the magic power that gathers and condenses and materializes?โ
โAs expected of my Lord. That is as you say.โ
I carefully considered what Livyathan had said.
โIn short, the dragon veins no longer exist?โ
โYes. All but one of the veins have been cut off and exhausted.โ
โOne? You mean itโs still there?
โItโs more like itโs regenerated.โ
โWhere?โ
โAlmeria, capital Nisir.โ
โ.....Eh?โ
It was completely unexpected.
I had expected to see the names of more remote and sacred places, but unexpectedly, I found familiar names.
I had lived and ruled there for a time.
โDragon veins are the lifeline of the earth. Life is water.โ
โWater.โ
โThat land was also ruined, but it has been regenerating in recent years.โ
โWater ...... regeneration ......?โ
I stroked my chin and thought.
Then, Henry came up from the side.
โMaybe itโs because His Majesty has built a special waterway?โ
Livyathan nodded quietly.
โ......โ
I was surprised by something unusual and completely unexpected.
โAmazing, as expected of His Majesty.โ
Meanwhile, Henry was marveling even more. | ้ฉๅใใใใณใชใผใ่ฆใฆใๅฐใๆ่ใซ่ฝใใ

After wiping out the lizards, I checked my status while watching the revitalization of the dragon vein.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Ararat
Emperor of the Empire
Gender: Male
Level: + /โ
It hadnโt changed at all from before the fight.
There was some possibility that my level might have gone up because I wiped out the demons, but it didnโt.
Well, thatโs what I thought it would be.
My level cap is (somehow) โ, but most of the world is under .
In other words, even at this stage, I am at a fairly high level for a human being.
Itโs not surprising that it wonโt go up in just one fight.
If it doesnโt raise, it doesnโt raise, and there is nothing to be gained by begging for something you donโt have.[TN: Cannon Event]
I looked at my status and saw Bahamut and the others activating the Dragon Vein again.
The land โ the desert was beginning to glow faintly.
It was dimly shining with a light as faint as moonlight.
The light was flowing toward the activated center point, like a river flowing from a tributary to the mainstream.
At the same time, I feel a dense surge of magical power that I cannot normally feel.
That alone was enough to tell me that it was succeeding.
โUgh.......โ
โMy head ...... ouch ......โ
โMuuh.โ
Then suddenly, from behind me, I hear the pained voices of Peiyu and Ivy.
I turned around to see them both cowering and in agony.
โWhatโs wrong?โ
โ.......โ
Peiyu looked like she couldnโt even afford to speak, and Ivy somehow managed to squeeze out the word โcoldโ.
โCold?โ
โAhhhh, hot ...... hot!โ
Complete change.
Ivy rolled over and complained of the heat.
Whatโs going onโ
โHa! That one, huhโ
With a huff, I turned around to look at the dragon vein.
A high concentration of magical power was overflowing from the veins.
They were hit by this, huh.
โZiz, give me a hand here.โ
I said that and withdrew Ziz from the dragon vein.
Then I used the Ziz to create wings of light.
Wings of light with a pale phosphorescent glow appeared on my back.
As they were capable of flying, I spread them out as wide as I could.
Spreading the wings to their full extent, I shielded the two people on my back while releasing particles of phosphorescent light.
Thenโ
โNot hot ......โ
โMaster!โ
Peiyu called me, seemingly moved.
Looks like she saw and understood the situation.
Peiyu gasped a breath later.
โSo beautiful .......โ
And she was admiring the wings of light.
โ...... ha! M-Master. We were ......
โIt must have been magic intoxication.โ
โIntoxicated ...... with magic?โ
โYeah. Stay within the wings range.โ
โY-yes.โ
After reminding the two of them, I focused on the dragon vein again.
โIt was painful just to be there, and yet he could stand there ...... unperturbed.โ
โAmazing .......โ
I waited patiently for the dragon vein to activate.
A few hours later, I returned to the inn with the two of them.
Entering the room, I took out a glass vial from my pocket while letting Ivy, who had become quite good at washing feet in the past while, do it.
Inside the bottle was a clear-colored liquid shimmering.
โMagic is like ...... water, I see ......โ
Peiyu marveled at what I was holding.
โNo, magic power is essentially invisible. It is more like air.โ
โEh? But ......โ
Peiyu, who was amazed, alternately examined my face and the liquid in the vial.
โThis is condensed magic. The potion I showed you before is also made from this.โ
โI-Is that so?โ
โWell, Iโll show you all about it.โ
I said this and picked up the candlestick in the center of the room, on the table that is also the set of the chair I am sitting on.
I removed the candles from the candlestick and put a drop โ just a drop โ of magic power on it.
Then โ I lit it.
โWow.โ
Ivy, who was washing my feet and wiping them with a cloth, was also surprised, stopped, and looked up.
โLike this, you can light it and make it into a lamp.โ
โItโs like oil isnโt it,...... and, very long.โ
โYes, itโs much brighter and lasts much longer than wax or oil.โ
โNot only thatโApophis.โ
I called out Apophis.
Calling Apophis in the form of a wand, and pouring Apophis poison on the candlestick, which had finally burned out.
Then, I put another drop of magic power on the candlestick.
After the Apophis poison and the magic drop were mixed, I stirred the mixture with a twig-sized stick.
Soon, a thin thread-like substance formed from the transparent drop of magic.
While stirring in a circular motion, I scooped up the thread.
I showed it to Peiyu and Ivy, who had completely stopped working.
โI can make something like this.โ
โIs this ......?โ
โItโs a kind of thread. Itโs not flammable like regular yarn, and itโs impervious to water.โ
โSo you can make clothes that donโt burn easily and donโt get wet in the rain.โ
I explained the end of the thread to them, who didnโt seem to understand it at the moment.
โWow, thatโs amazing!
Can you make something like that?
They were amazed and marveled.
There are many other uses,โ he said. We are still exploring them. For the time being, it will most likely be used to make potions.
โExploring ...... is what your master is researching?
โWow, you do your own research.
Iโm not a scholar or anything like that. ......
While receiving the goodwill of the two, I looked again at the drops of magic power I was holding.
The Dragonโs Vein activation was successful in condensing the drops of magic power.
Also, since Peiyu and Ivy were hit by it, itโs clear that the magic power output by Saraluriaโs dragon vein is more highly concentrated and pure than that of Almeriaโs.
The higher the purity, the better this drop of magic power.
Now that the trial extraction was successful, we need to think about a mass production system.
That would require a considerable investment.
Now, will the treasury have enough ......?
At worst, even if we have to requisition it, this is our priority.
{My Lord, an emergency has arisen.}
โLivyathan? What is this emergency?โ
I raised my eyebrows and asked Livyathan.
It was unusual for Livyathan to say something like this.
{The dragon vein has burst.}
โWhat!?โ
I stood up unintentionally at the unmitigated emergency.
Ivy, who was washing my feet, got splashed with water, but it wasnโt important.
Leaving the two women behind, I returned to what should have been a successful activation.
As the full moon was sinking into the horizon, I saw the Dragonโs veins, broken here and there, leaking out a desperate light.
โWhat is the meaning of this, Leviathan?โ
โSpeak.โ
{By Your Will ......, the dragon vein in this land has been cut off for many years, and no magic has passed through it.}
โYeah.โ
{The Lord reconnected it there. But the vein itself had already deteriorated because it had been without magic for so many years.}
โ......, if a house is left unoccupied, it deteriorates at an accelerated rate, it is just like that, huh.โ
{The essence is the same.}
I nodded.
โSo youโre saying that you reconnected the battered pipes, but they were already unable to withstand the flow.โ
โIt was fine in Almeria. ...... Ah, no. The purity of the magic here is much better than in Almeria, and if anything, itโs more potent.โ
Livyathan didnโt answer, but the silent hints conveyed a feeling of agreement and admiration.
Itโs giving a hint, so to speak. Then, unlike Almeria, it is possible to guess the reason why it happened.
โI understand the cause. So what should we do? Is it possible to reconnect them?โ
{It needs a sacrificeโ a human sacrifice.}
I thought about it for a while.
โAre there any requirements for a person to be sacrificed?โ
{Only that the human being must be in good health at the moment of the sacrifice.}
โThen letโs use a death-row prisoner. There must have been a man who will be executed with his family in succession. In exchange for the familyโs life, he would give his life.โ
{Sasuga my Lord. A decision worthy of the Emperor.}
โAny other precautions?โ
โThere should be no impurity. For three days before the sacrifice, he must be cleansed and forbidden to eat. And then...โ
Leviathan explained everything to me, but beyond that, it was all trivial.
A Sacrifice huh.......
I donโt care โ I canโt say that.
Still, the activation of the Dragonโs vein, the magic power drops...

Great Wall of People
In the half-destroyed study, the servants and maids were taking care of the mess.
There was no point in staying there, so I went out to the garden.
I checked my abilities under the starry sky.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Ararat
Minister of Justice
Gender: Male
Level: / โ
HPC+EMPE+EStrengthC+AStaminaD+EIntelligenceE+DSpiritE+DSpeedE+EDexterityE+DLuckE+D FireE+AWaterC+SWindE+FEarthE+DLight E+CDarknessE+C
My abilities are completely back to normal.
They havenโt increased, nor have they decreased.
The problem with the meteorite in my hand seems to be temporary and will return when I defeat the tentacle.
I checked the abilities of all five of them just to be sure.
Going through the order from the bottom of the ranks from the mock battle I had just before, I finally produced Bahamutโs flame.
It was a ball of flame that floated about ten centimeters above my palm, thrusting it upward.
The brilliantly shining ball of flame illuminated the entire area around it as brightly as if it were daytime.
โOhh!โ
I heard a voice of admiration from behind me.
When I turned around, Don had returned.
โAs expected of His Highness, even in that tremendous battle, you were able to hold back your power.โ
Don was obviously marveling at the โamazingโ fireball.
โRather, you caught him?โ
โYes, he brought it to Nisir in person, and a servant delivered it to His Highnessโs residence. Just .......โ
โJust?โ
โWhen I got there, he looked so happy that he said, โI was waitingโ. He seemed to be happy as if his reward had come. When I threatened him a little and asked him about it, he just said, โI picked up a meteorite and carved letters on itโ.โ
โYou mean he was just trying to cheat?โ
โThatโs what I think. Of course, thereโs always the possibility that heโs acting, so weโll keep questioning him.โ
โAll right, then Iโll leave you to it.โ
โYesโ
Don had nothing more to report, so he bowed and left.
It was nice to have my abilities back, but there was one mystery left to solve.
The Prince who is in a fief is obliged to return to the capital once a year to report to His Majesty on the current state of the fiefโs governance.
It was that time of year, so I left Nisir and Armeria and came back to the capital where I was born and raised.
Instead of returning to the residence of the th Prince in the capital, I made a straight line to visit the Royal Palace.
I asked a familiar eunuch for permission to see His Majesty and was immediately ushered into his study.
Entering the study, I knelt down on one knee in front of His Majesty in a familiar manner.
โOhh, Noah, huh.โ
โYour subject, Noah, here to submit my annual report.โ
โIs that so. Well, Iโve heard more about you. Looks like you defeated quite a monster with just your sword.โ
His Majestyโs ears are as quick as ever.
Even though it was just before I left, heโs already caught on.
โAs expected of Noah, a Prince of the โWarrior Nationโ.โ
His Majesty was in a very good mood.
The empireโs official name is the โMeeres Empireโ, which means โWarrior Nationโ in the old language.
A Prince of that warrior nation had shown his power in battle.
His Majesty is very happy about it.
โAs the one who was entrusted with not only Almeria but also Ararat by His Majesty, I have not neglected my daily efforts.โ
โUmu. Keep up your diligence.โ
โYes. As for the...โ
โAhh, the report. No need for that now.โ
His Majesty stopped me from giving my report.
I tilted my head and looked at him curiously.
โThere is a diplomatic envoy here, and I need to see him first. Noah should be there.โ
If itโs a diplomatic matter, it should come first.
His Majesty stood up after saying this and left the study.
I followed him.
Proceeding through the palace, I was brought to a large hall.
The basic structure is similar to that of the audience hall, but only His Majestyโs throne is set on a raised platform about two levels high.
Itโs a room used not for office work, but for diplomatic envoys and other occasions when you want to emphasize your authority.
The First and Third Viziers were already standing under the platform and several other officials and clerks.
His Majesty slowly ascended the dais, and I stood underneath the dais, next to the Third Vizier.
Although we were old acquaintances, we couldnโt greet each other here, so we only exchanged glances.
As soon as His Majesty sat down on the throne, he held out his hand, and the eunuch at the gate said in a high-pitched voice:
Rushi Tsar?
Iโve never heard that name before. Is it different from the Kingdom of Rushi?[TN: You wanna know about this Kingdom of Rusโใซใทโ? this may be referring to this kingdom which existed long ago ]
As I waited for a while, a man came in from outside.
He was a dark-skinned man with a bushy beard.
When he reached the designated place, he bowed down on one knee, moving awkwardly on the spot.
Then he said something.
The words were unfamiliar.
โHe says itโs an honor to meet you, Your Majesty.โ
One of the officials in attendance said to the king.
I see, a translator.
His Majesty nodded humbly, and the man said something more.
The translator listened to the end of it and furrowed his brow.
โWell, Iโm here on behalf of the ...... magnificent, that ...... messenger. I have a ...... request to make it to the greater Emperor.โ
The translator slurred as he translated.
His Majesty glared at the translator. Of course, it was obvious even to the casual observer that the translator was not translating well.[TN: I think I will get along well with that translator]
The translator was drenched in sweat from the glare.
โFirst of all, ask him what is the Rushi Tsar?โ
โYes!โ
The translator spoke to the man on one knee.
And again, His Majestyโs expression grew uncomfortable.
I donโt understand the words, but the man being spoken to is twisting his head and wondering over and over again.
It was obvious that the words were not being understood well.
โItโs still not working.โ
Jean Brad Reydouk, the Third Prime Vizier, whispered beside me so that only I could hear.
โDo you know anything about it?โ
โThat seems to be a very southern dialect of Rushian. A regular translator would have difficulty.โ
I nodded.
Rushi is the name of the kingdom of Rushi in the north of the empire.
Combined with the harshness of the people, and the emphasis on military power, which is no less than that of the Empire,
Itโs also known as Rakshasaโs Country.[TN: Rakshasha (Sanskrit: เคฐเคพเคเฅเคทเคธ, rฤkแนฃasa) is a supernatural being in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Rakshasas are also called โman-eaters โ (nri-chakshas, kravyads). A female rakshasa is known as a rakshasi. A female rakshasi in human form is a Rakshesha. The terms asura and rakshasa are sometimes used interchangeably.]
Naturally, there are a few disputes with the empire, so there are always translators to help with negotiations.
As is the case with most translators, they can interpret standard languages, but dialects are difficult.
This is not good. His Majestyโs mood is getting worse and worse.
I was just thinking If this continues...
{Leave it to me.}
I heard Bahamutโs voice.
(Leave it to you?)
{We are beings that transcend humanity and can communicate with all people.}
What does that mean? I wondered.
{So tell His Majesty. I am here on behalf of the Rushi Tsar to form an alliance with the Empire.}
The manโs words, which I hadnโt understood at all before, became clear to me.
It was something that sounded like Bahamutโs words or Leviathanโs emotions.
In that way, the unknown words I heard reached my head in an understandable way.
โIโll convey it.โ
When I opened my mouth, both the messenger and the translator were surprised.
I turned to his Majesty, looked up at him, and said.
โWith all due respect, Your Majesty. Iโm afraid I must inform you that this man is a representative of Emperor of Rushi and an envoy of the alliance.โ
Instantly, there was a buzz in the hall.
โDo you understand, Noah?โ
โYes.โ
โAsk him what the ...... Rushi Tsar is.โ
His Majesty thought for a moment and then said to me.
I turned to the man.
{What is Rushi Tsar? Isnโt it the Kingdom of Rushi?}
{We have risen from the tyranny of the Rushians. Our people have already taken control of the lands to the south of the kingdom, adjacent to the Empire. Rushi Tsar is the name of our new country.}
I told His Majesty exactly what the man had told me.
โFumu. Impressive, Noah.โ
His Majesty listened to my translation until the end and then looked at me with admiration.
Since itโs ...... His Majesty, Iโm sure he already knows what I just told him.
No, even if itโs not his Majesty, itโs only natural that someone in the center of national politics would know about it.
A neighboring country in a state of sporadic warfare has had a civil war and has become partially independent. | ๅ

This is a major event that any Emperor would be aware of.
I, who didnโt know (but should have), translated it correctly.
โThatโs great, Noah. I need you to continue translating for me.โ
โWhat kind of alliance does the Rushi Tsar want with the Empire?โ
{We have only risen against the tyranny of Rushi. We have no intention of antagonizing the great Meeres Empire. Our only wish is for lasting peace within our borders.}
โ And why should we believe that?โ
{We are prepared to offer our Kingโs mother and sister as hostages.}
Immediately after I translated, the ministers, including the viziers, all shouted in unison, โOooh!โ
The man bowed to me.
Even if I couldnโt understand the words, I could tell by their reaction that I had translated them correctly.
To offer the kingโs mother and sister hostages is a big deal.
โI understand what you are saying. I will reply after consulting with my chief ministers. You may go back and rest for the rest of the day.โ
{Thank you for your grace.}
The messenger gave a final bow, stood up, and turned around to leave the hall.
After the messenger was gone, His Majesty consulted us.
โAs you have just heard. I would like to hear what you have to say.โ
The Third Vizier stepped forward and bowed slightly before answering.
โI donโt think we should be on board. Even though they have changed their name, they are still from Rushi โ the Land of the Rakshaha. We shouldnโt trust them.โ
The First Vizier countered.
โWe are not at war with his country. I think we should accept the offer and show him the extent of our empire. If they continue to obey us, so be it, and if they decide to jump up and down in blood, we can beat them down again.โ
The First Vizier agreed while the Third Vizier disagreed.
The other viziers expressed their opinions one after another, centering on these two.
After all of that, His Majesty turned to me.
โWhat do you think, Noah?โ
I thought for a moment.
It reminded me about Nisirโs mansion in Armeria.
I never imagined that what I planned to do โ surrounding the mansion โ would lead to a similar situation here.
โIโm all for it. In fact, I think we should actively support them.โ
The ministers were in an uproar.
โCalm down. Noah, what is your reason?โ
โYes, if you could provide a map.โ
โSomebody get me a map.โ
At His Majestyโs command, four eunuchs brought out a map the size of a flag.
The map showed the empire and the surrounding countries.
I took a pen from the officialโs office and drew another line on the map โ on the border between the Empire and the Kingdom of Rushi.
In the area between the border and the line, I wrote the word โGreat Wall.โ
โI thought it would be best to make the territory of the Rushi Tsar look like this.โ
โFumu. So, you mean to divide the Empire from the Kingdom of Lucy?โ
โYes. We have a long history of disputes with the Kingdom of Lucy, and despite all the measures we have taken, it has been impossible to eradicate them. In addition, they have never shown any intention of making peace.โ
โOn the other hand, Rushi Tsar wants to join hands with the Empire, even offering the Kingโs mother and sister as hostages. If that is the case, I think it would be best to use the Rushi Tsar to help create a shield against them.โ
โ...... I see, so itโs not a Stone Castle, but a Great Wall of Country.โ
I nodded my head clearly.
This is what I was going to do in the mansion.
There was a time when I was almost assassinated.
Some people tried to bribe my maid, Zoe, to poison me.
But Zoe, who felt indebted to me, turned the tables on them.
In the same way, I wanted to surround the mansion with people who felt indebted to me.
I didnโt have enough money this year, so I figured Iโd have to wait until next year โ but I didnโt expect to run into a similar situation here.
โThis way, the Kingdom of Rushi wonโt be able to touch the Empire without at least knocking out the Rushi Tsar.โ
Hearing this, His Majesty said.
โUmu, great work, Noah. Thatโs a great idea.โ
โI think we can do them a favor and give them some additional support. Since the other side has just started a rebellion, they must be short of supplies. Almeriaโs Hojoi can provide enough surplus food for a million people.โ
โUmu! Well said. First Vizier.โ
โConsult with them in that direction.โ
โBy your command.โ
My proposal was accepted, and His Majesty as well as the Viziers looked at me with admiration. | ใฉใใช็ๅธใ ใใใจๆๆกใใฆใใ้ๅคงใชๅบๆฅไบใ ใ

On a clear morning, I went out to the garden of the mansion.
I stood in front of a banyan tree, a common tree in the Almeria region.
The banyan tree is a characteristic plant that has โbeard-likeโ roots hanging down from its trunk.
When the whiskers come together and become entangled, they form a new trunk, but because the whiskers are originally thin and thread-like, they look stringy even after they are entangled and hardened, making the tree look like the body of an old man.
The banyan tree is called the โlong-life treeโ or the โhermit treeโ because of its whiskers, and this is a tree of good luck.
I pulled out my leviathan and slashed at the banyanโs beard as if I were cleaving it.
The blade of the demon sword, which was trailing a light blue afterglow, struck the whiskers โ it couldnโt be cut.
Starting with that, I unleashed a series of slashes.
The whiskers, which could be torn off by even a childโs hand, did not seem to be cut by the slashes, no matter how many they were received.
Well, I was not trying to cut it.
Leviathan has a sword technique inside it, a technique to control the blade line so that even if something can be cut easily, it will not be cut.
For a while now, Iโve been practicing it as part of my morning routine.
After swinging the leviathan for about half an hour, I put the sword away and took a breath.
I look at the ground.
Today, not a single whisker had been cut.
โAs expected, Noah-sama.โ
I heard a girlโs voice and the sound of applause from behind me.
When I turned around, I saw a girl about fifteen years old, like me, coming towards me with Zoe, my maid, in tow.
The girlโs name was Audrey.
Sheโs the granddaughter of the Thunder Prince Indra, and sheโs my wife.
โYou have been brilliant today.โ
โWell, I guess so.โ
โUntil I met Noah-sama, I could never have imagined that this kind of swordsmanship existed in the world. Thatโs Noah-sama for you.
Audrey said and came even closer.
Then she stood in front of me.
โWould you like some breakfast?โ
โSure letโs have it here.โ
โAll right. Zoe.โ
โUnderstood.โ
At Audreyโs command, Zoe, who was now the head maid of the mansion, ran to get ready.
Once she retreated into the mansion, she immediately came out with several maids.
The maids quickly set up a table and a chair in front of us and laid out a tablecloth and dishes on it.
Then the food was brought in.
Audrey took the food brought by the maids and placed it in front of me.
โHere you go, Noah-sama.โ
It was a usual morning breakfast, served by Audrey.
When a member of the royal family takes a wife, the role of the servants in the house changes drastically.
Serving my meal was the job of Audrey and the concubines who would join her in the future.
Even Zoe, the head maid, cannot serve me directly when the โladyโ is around.
Also, unless thereโs something wrong, the main and entourage chambers will not eat with me.
There are two meanings to this.
The first is that the head of the house is the royal family, in this case, me.
Itโs like the epitome of a Royal Family.
Thatโs why Audrey, my wife, serves me.
The other reason is to improve the status of my wife.
She is the only one who can โdo something directlyโ to the head of the house, to emphasize that she is in the number two position in the house.
While being served by Audrey, my wife, I had a chat with her.
โBy the way, you are turning fifteen next week, arenโt you?โ
โYes, thatโs right.โ
โNow we can finally perform the โRite of Expulsionโ.โ
โYes! Iโve been waiting for this!โ
Audrey answered excitedly, her eyes shining.
There is one more thing that distinguishes the wives of the royal family from the common people.
That is, they lose their last names.
Right now, Audreyโs full name is Audrey Ararat.
In a ceremony called the โRite of Expulsionโ, she takes off her last name, Ararat, and becomes just Audrey.
Itโs an old custom.
A person who becomes the wife of a member of the royal family is not allowed to divorce at all.
And a surname means โthe house of oneโs birthโ.
It is an old custom to remove it and say โ there is no home to go back to.โ
โI understand that the common people yearn for the rite of expulsion, but were you the same?โ
โYes! Because now I can truly and authentically become Noahโs wife.โ
So itโs not about the ritual itself, but about being mine.
โFinally, finally.โ
โWell, donโt get worked up. Itโs just a ritual in itself. As you can see from the maids, I have no intention of letting anyone else cross this threshold.โ
โYes! Thank you very much!โ
Audrey smiled even more gleefully.
Nisir, the capital city of Almeria.
At the age of fifteen, I entered a feudal domain with my wife Audrey.
As is customary, we live in a feudal domain for several years to study political affairs.
However, I had been appointed Minister of Justice for a long time, and His Majesty had asked me for my opinions on political matters on various occasions.
I didnโt feel particularly nervous when I entered the estate, and it was business as usual.
Today, too, I went out to the city around mid-afternoon after I had taken care of all the political affairs.
Nisir was the โcapital of the province,โ and it was quite prosperous.
Everything found in the imperial capital is also found here.
Overall, Nisir is a smaller version of the Imperial Capital.
I went straight to the one store I wanted to visit.
I have heard that she will be coming here today.
As I approached the store.
I said with a smile.
I heard a singing voice.
It belonged to Alice.
Alice, whom I had once helped and then become a patron of.
She has been singing for a while now and has become one of the best singers in the Empire.
As a result, she began to sing all over the Empire.
Of course, the travel expenses, her motherโs living expenses, and even purchasing outlets in the places she went.
In any case, I continue to support her so that she can concentrate on singing.
When I entered the store, I found that it was the same kind of store as Keithโs in the Imperial City.
But on a smaller scale, so as soon as I walked in, my eyes met Aliceโs, who was singing.
Before she could do anything, I held up my hand to stop her.
I gave her a look and told her to keep singing, and sat down at an appropriate seat.
I was satisfied with her voice, which was getting better and better.
After one song, Alice went back to the back of the stage for a while.
The audience, who had been listening quietly until then, opened their mouths at once.
Some were discussing their impressions, while others were just chatting.
I like this kind of miscellaneous atmosphere that is common in such stores.
โOh, by the way, Iโm moving to Gora next month.โ
โGora? What kind of place is that?โ
โDonโt you know? Goraโs new governor Evelyn, sheโs amazing.โ
I overheard a conversation between two people sitting next to me.
Evelyn, the governor of Gora ......, is definitely my servant Evelyn that I sent out from my mansion.
I was curious about what the big deal was because it wasnโt entirely unrelated.
โEver since Evelyn-sama came, sheโs put a lot of effort into security, and now Gora is so safe you donโt even have to lock your door at night.โ
โNo way!โ
โI am serious. Well, if you commit a crime, youโre in trouble. I have no intention of doing that, so thatโs why I decided to move there.โ
โWow. Thatโs great.โ
โYeah. Well, itโs because of the โWise officialsโ.โ
โWhatโs that? Whatโs this โWiseโ?โ
โA wise person is an official appointed by the Wise Prince. The rest are โImperial Appointeesโ, officials appointed by the Emperor.โ
The man who was planning to move out broke off at that point, and then said with a sense of pride, as if he were speaking for himself.
โThere are only a few wise officials, but theyโre all very good ones. Everywhere they go, people are getting richer and safer. Itโs not that thereโs anything wrong with the imperial appointees, you know. Just that the wise officials are better.โ
โ Amazing. That may be because Wise Prince had a good eye for people?โ
โAlthough there is that too, the merchants who spoke directly with the Governor-samas say that they are all extremely loyal to him and will repay his debt by doing things right.โ
โHis subordinates love him so much, thatโs even more impressive. ......โ
I listened to the men talk for a while, but they didnโt give me any more new information.
Iโve received reports that the Evelyn I sent out is doing reasonably well.
That being said, Iโm glad to hear that the people are actually talking about her.
Iโll send Evelyn a letter of appreciation later.
Just as I was thinking this, Alice returned from backstage.
There was applause, and the chatter died down.
The next song thenโ.
โYouโre Alice-san?โ

Three tactless men approached Alice from downstage.
Aliceโs brow furrowed for a moment, but she answered with a cold expression.
โYes I am, so what about it?โ
โPascal-sama has taken a liking to you. He has invited you to sing in his house.โ
โIโm sorry, sir, but I donโt accept such invitations, no matter who they are. If you want to hear me sing, just come to my store.โ
โOh, come on, you donโt know anything. Pascal-sama is the governor of Nisir. And itโs only for one night, you know.โ
โI already told you. Whoever you are, please come to the store.โ
โHey, you donโt get it yet, do you? I...โ
โThatโs enough.โ
Watching the scene unfold, my voice rang out more than usual in the quiet store.
I got up from my chair and slowly made my way to the stage.
โHaah? What the fuck, kid? Do you have any idea who youโre talking to?โ
โWeโre Pascalโs messengers, you know.โ
โI donโt care.โ
โThen Iโll have to drill it into your body until you do.โ
The men laughed mockingly, and one of them reached out to grab my shoulder.
โBahamut.โ
The next moment, both my arms were covered in flames.
I punched the open body of the man who had grabbed me.
The man was blown away a few meters and turned into a fire doll, rolling around on the ground.
โWhaโ
โYou bastard!โ
The other two also came at me.
I hit them both with the same fist of flame, turning them into a fire doll.
The flames only lasted for a dozen seconds, and then subsided as if they were a lie.
โWhat the hell was that?โ
โWow, ......, heโs controlling the flames at will, huh?โ
โWho is he?โ
While the customers in the store were buzzing, another group of people jumped in from outside.
This one was a city patrolman, in uniform and armed.
โWhatโs this!? Whoโs that rampaging around here?โ
โItโs me.โ
โItโs yoโโโ!? H-His Highness the th? I apologize for the intrusion!!โ
The patrolman looked at my face and quickly dropped to one knee in front of me.
โHis Highness the th?โ
โCould it be that, His Highness the th Wise Prince?โ
โThe lord of Almeria!โ
The buzz in the store reached its peak.
Ignoring it, I said to the patrolman.
โThey tried to take someone from the store, arrest them and throw them in jail for a while.โ
โYes!โ
โAlso this guy Pascal should come to have his men released. And tell them to come to me.โ
The patrolman followed my orders, grabbed the man who was letting out smoke, and left.
I turned to Alice.
โIs everything alright? You donโt have to be so stubborn when it comes to things like that.โ
โNo, even Noah-sama always comes to the store. So I canโt go with him, no matter who he is.โ
โI see. Well, then letโs hear some more singing here.โ
โYes! With pleasure!โ
I turned myself around and walked back to my seat as people stared at me, enjoying the song Alice was singing again.
Halfway through the song, a man named Pascal came to get down on his knees, but I ignored him and kept him on his knees until Alice finished singing. | ่ๅฐไธใใ็ก็ฒใช็ทใใขใชใผใใงใซ่ฟใฅใใฆใใฃใใ

With Zizโs wings, I soared high into the sky.
The flapping wing with pale phosphorescence looks fantastic and beautiful even to me, the one who is controlling it.
It is a natural feeling for a human being.
If someone else had been flying in the sky with such wings of light on their back, I would have thought they were an angel who had descended from the heavens.
There was another fantastic and beautiful sight.
The sky was clear.
On the ground, it would be hot and humid, so hot that we would have to bring out the ice we stored underground during the winter.
It was such a clear sky as far as the eye could see, but there was one part a few kilometers away that was different.
A rain pillar.
A cumulonimbus cloud had formed in one place, and from there, the rain was pouring down in torrents, looking like a pillar or a curtain.
The rainfall was so heavy that one could have mistaken it for a storm.
โAmazing, Livyathan,โ
I muttered, and slowly descended to the ground, flapping my wings.
A young girl was standing in the garden of the detached palace of the th Princeโs former residence.
She looked to be about years old.
Her shiny golden hair was far beyond her height and hung like a waterfall on the ground.
She has all the requirements of dignity, and her eyes are full of light, looking very thoughtful.
Livyathan.
The soul of the awakened Water Demon Sword manifested in human form.
โI saw it, itโs raining. Quite amazing. The rainfall was enough to supply a monthโs worth of water for the Imperial City in a single moment, wasnโt it? Itโs a pity there are no reservoirs there.โ
โIt is only because of the Lordโs strength. The stronger the Lord is, the more power I can exert.โ
โIs that how it is?โ
โThat rain is the Lordโs power itself. If you say it is great, then the Lord is greater.โ
I see.
Then if I become stronger,.......
I was thinking about flood control for a moment.
Livyathan said with an even stronger gaze.
โI will not fall behind Bahamut. And I will continue to do my utmost for the Lord.โ
โBoth you and Bahamut are my treasures. However, if you feel so, you may compete with each other to increase your power for my sake.โ
โโI understand!โ
Livyathan replied strongly with thoughtfulness and reason reflected in those eyes.
I wondered if its awakening had changed its character a little.
โโ!โ
โHi-hiiiiiii!โ
I heard a maid scream from behind me.
When I turned around, I saw Gig, the maid, on her bottom, looking frightened.
Looking closely, I saw an ongoing stain spreading across her skirt.
She must have leaked in fear โ I see.
โLivyathan.โ
I turn around and quiet Leviathan.
โGigi is my maid, you should know her face since she came in later than you.โ
โ.......โ
Complete change.
Far from the intellectual air of a moment ago, Livyathan now said with a furious expression.
โItโs insolent to talk to Lord suddenly.โ
โWhenever someone addresses me, itโs usually sudden. Unless someone suddenly appears in front of me at the same time.โ
I chuckled.
Even if Livyathan thinks properly, it is Leviathan.
Just like Leviathan.
She was as young as she looked and looked like a selfish child.
โAnyway, my maids are carefully selected to some extent, and they are all people who feel indebted to me. There is no need to be so intimidating, it will interfere with my use of them.โ
โ.....I understand.โ
Leviathan retracted the intimidation.
Gig was relieved to see it.
โGo change your clothes,......, but first, what was the matterโ
โAh, ......, Y-yes.โ
Gig was still scared but reported.
โDo-Don-sama is here.โ
โSend him through here.โ
Gig hurriedly left the place as if to run away.
In her place, the fourth Vizier, Don Oates, came.
โAbout what?โ
โEven a mad dog like that would be a loyal dog in your hands.โ
โYou saw what just happened, huh.โ
โNo. I just felt it from a distance, thatโs all.โ
Thatโs too much, Livyathan.
I told Livyathan, who didnโt think it was too much and was wary of the Don.
โYou can go back. Iโm going to talk with Don now.โ
โYes.โ
Livyathan didnโt say anything, just accepted, undid the manifestation, and went back into my bracelet.
โSo, what is it?โ
โA letter came from Governor Gabelle reporting to you.โ
โPhil Mohm huh. Let me seeโwhatโs this?โ
Don didnโt present an envelope, but a long, thin tube.
When I took it, I could see that there was a rolled-up piece of paper inside.
โA painting? ......No way.โ
For a moment, I had a bad imagination.
Most of the paintings sent to me like this are bribesโI am the emperor, and they are offerings.
Such paintings are usually expensive.
Gabel State.
Not long ago, I saw the Governor taking bribes and distributing gold in one of the salt tax cases.
The man I took it from at the time, but just before that, he was a slave.
He shouldnโt have the money to send paintings.
Donโt tell me ...... this soon?
โHmm?โ
โApparently, it was his own handiwork.โ
โBy ...... Phil Mohm?โ
Don nodded clearly.
So itโs not an antique gift?
If so, what is it?
Wondering, I took a piece of paper from the tube and opened it.
Then, there was an amateurโs drawing, completely disregarding the techniques of painting.
Although it was an amateur drawing, I could somehow understand the scene.
There were two pictures.
The first picture was of someone offering a gift to another person.
The second picture is of the recipient kicking the ass of the sender.
โ...... hmm.โ
โA little later, then, we got this one from Zoe. Given the timing, I thought perhaps they were related.โ
This time he held out a box.
Fuwawaโs box.
The box I gave Zoe to use as a snitch.
I took it and unlocked it with Fuwawa.
Taking out the envelope inside, I opened it and read what was inside.
โWhat was the content?โ
โAnother party was trying to expand its market reach there, and they tried to hold onto Phil Mohm, but they were turned away in a rather embarrassing way, apparently.โ
โAnd since Phil Mohm couldnโt read or write, he reported back with drawings heโd made.โ
โI see. I admit that he is loyal to ...... His Majesty, but isnโt it bad that he canโt even read and write? Zoe is close by, and to assist him moreโโ
โNo, letโs just leave it at that. I took up Phil Mohm. If he fails, Iโll just have to clean up his mess. Iโd rather cherish the heart of a man who was born into slavery, who is not blinded by gold, silver, or treasure, and who has sworn his allegiance to me.โ
โI understand. Then, I will only keep a close watch on the situation.โ
โUmm. Iโll leave it to you.โ
Returning to my study in the Palace, I called Henry.
Across the desk, Henry bowed reverently to me as usual.
โYou wanted to see me, Your Majesty?โ
โIโm about to strike Kurugeโs Galwan entirely.โ
โโPardon!โ
Henryโs expression stiffened, and he fell to his knees on the spot.
โItโs fine. Itโs not your fault.โ
There is a reason why Henry did it.
Before I ascended to the throne, there was talk of a rebellion by Galwan of Kuruge when I first came to the territory.
His Majesty at that time โ my father โ asked my opinion, and I recommended Henry, the Minister of Military Affairs.
โBut ......โ
โItโs okay, get up. It is not your fault. You did a good job of bringing us to a stalemate with that kind of budget. If it werenโt for you, the rebellion would have spread and we would have been forced to recognize their independence.โ
โYour kind words are wasted on me.โ
โIt is also the reason why I have tapped into the salt tax this time. Henry, what is most important in defeating the frontier?โ
โLogistics, sir.โ
Henry answered immediately without any hesitation at all.
The tone of his voice carried the weight of someone with experience.
โYes, logistics. I am not being conceited, the Empire is huge. Even if we lose a skirmish with a rebellion of Galwanโs caliber, the victory in the big picture is unassailable. But, you see, for the Empire to reach its full potential, we need to keep supplying the food needed to move a large army.โ
โYes......โ
Henry nodded, then I stood up, folded my hands behind my back, and walked through the study as I spoke.
โUp until now weโve only been able to fight the war on the fly because of budget shortfalls, but now that the salt tax thing is taken care of, the treasury is at its best right now. We will invest all our resources at once and pay them off.โ | ใธใบใฎ็ฟผใงใ็ฉบ้ซใ้ฃใณไธใใฃใใ

โPlease leave it to me. If Your Majesty is willing to go that far and if I canโt defeat ...... Galwan, I will never step on the soil of the Imperial City again.โ
Henry knelt and bowed his head.
If heโs willing to step in on his own, well, thatโs fine.
โAnd so Your Majesty.โ
โHmm?โ
โSomething to keep Turbaif in check.โ
Henry knelt down and only raised his head.
As expected, heโs been the Minister of Military Affairs for many years and was quick to suggest what needed to be done.
โOh, Iโve already made a move on that.โ
โWith all due respect, ...... what is it?โ
โI heard that Turbaif has three sons. Three sons, each of them distinguished in valor, wisdom, and virtue. I hear they are known as the Three Arrows.โ
โYes. And I hear that all of them respect their father and are therefore very close to him.โ
โThatโs problematic.โ
After all, I donโt want to deal with Turbaif as long as heโs alive.
โIโve gotten fatherโs approval to marry off the th, 18th, and 20th sisters.โ
The seventeenth, eighteenth, and twentieth Princesses.
The Princesses who match the age of the other three will be given into a political marriage.
โT-Thatโs ..... is it necessary for the empire to take such a low stance with fear? I agree with political marriage, but only one would be enough.โ
โI have to uproot Galwan, and we canโt afford a two-front battle any more than we usually do. It would be laughable if he escapes by leading us into a trap when we have him cornered.โ
โIn your eyes, this diplomacy seems like weโre the one kneeling, right? Thatโs all the more appropriate ...... for now.โ
Henry was surprised and bowed again.
โTurbaif ..... I am sending you three Imperial Princesses as well,...... and I hope youโll refrain from any indiscretions in the future,.......โ
I looked up at the blue sky through the window with my hands folded behind my back. | ใใไปปใไธใใใ้ไธใซใใใพใงใใฆใใใ ใใฆ......ใฎใฃใซใฏใณใ่จๆป

While a large departure parade was being held in the capital, led by Empress Audrey, I quietly set off with my two maids.
Zoe, the head maid, and Kate, who I had just recently picked up.
I took a well-made but inconspicuous carriage and posed as a proper merchant, and had Zoe and Kate follow me on foot.
After about half a day of walking along the road, I sent Kate ahead of me to secure the lodging for the day.
As I watched from the top of the carriage as Kate ran to secure the lodging, Zoe spoke to me from the side.
Her speech and address had reverted to that of the days of me being the Prince, as we are traveling secretly.
โMaster, thereโs something Iโd like to ask you.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โWhy did you bring Kate along?โ
โHmm?โ
I turn my head to the side.
Zoe was looking up at me with a troubled, questioning look on her face.
โI understand why Master took a liking to her. She is honest and devoted and is very aware of everything. But she is too inexperienced. In the palace, other maids are there to follow her around, but when she is outside, ......โ
โOh well. There are still some risks, thatโs for sure.โ
I looked at Kateโs back, which looked about the size of a pea at the end of the road and smiled.
As with anything, enthusiasm is when you are doing something that is beyond your capabilities or near your limits.
Humans donโt say, โIโm going to walk!โ when they are walking, only when they are trying to run fast, they will say โI am going to run!โ.
In this sense, Kateโs constant enthusiasm was probably unreliable in Zoeโs eyes.
โItโs not a big reason. Iโm just trying to nurture Kateโs talent and give her some experience.โ
โNurture?โ
โYeah. That girl will grow if you keep training her. Donโt you think so?โ
โThatโs true, but ...... with the shortage of manpower, that would be inconvenient for Master.โ
โA nobleman must nurture others, and it is a noblemanโs privilege to put up with them.โ
โBut ...... master is now ......โ
โ......โ it was probably followed by โeven though you are the Emperorโ.
After stammering for a bit, she shook her head.
She seemed convinced.
Since weโve known each other for so long, she understands that when I nurture people, I nurture them, regardless of whether Iโm the Emperor or not.
I brought them here not only to nurture Kate but Zoe as well.
She works hard as the head maid, so I kept her with me, but I wanted to let her out sooner, just like Evelyn.
That Evelyn is now the Governor of Almeria.
Zoeโs talent is no less than Evelynโs.
Thatโs why I brought Zoe along with me, to give her some experience.
After about a weekโs journey, we came to Dussel, the capital of Gabel.
Dussel.
A city built on both ends of the Dussel River, as if it were sitting on top of the river.
The city, which has prospered thanks to the riverโs water transportation, was so crowded that we could see it from a distance even on the night we arrived.
โItโs a bustling town.โ
โThere are more than , people registered in the cityโs register.โ
Kate was so surprised that her intonation of โhundred thousandโ was slightly funny.
โAnyway, have you got the accommodations in order?โ
Unlike Kate, Zoe was not surprised by the city of about 200,000 people, since she has been in Royal Capital for a long time.
After calming her down, she asked Kate.
โAh, yes! I have a room on the top floor at the inn by the river. And to be safe, I rented out the one downstairs as well.โ
โYou werenโt able to rent out the entire inn?โ
โI apologize, but there were already some guests there when I got there.โ
โThen negotiateโโ
โGood. Well done, Kate.โ
I stopped Zoeโs questioning and complimented Kate.
She may not have done the best but she did well enough.
If itโs good enough, then Kate needs to get more praise and confidence now.
Kate looked relieved by the praise.
She was more relieved than happy.
It would take a while, I thought, as I entered the city.
Even at night, the city was quite busy.
Especially along the river, which is the heartbeat of the city, there were various night stalls and people were doing nighttime business.
Amid this bustle, we entered the inn Kate had arranged for us.
The innkeeper welcomed me with his staff, probably because I had paid a lot of money in advance.
After telling Zoe to give an appropriate tip, I entered a room on the top floor.
The room had a wide window overlooking the Dusel River, probably because it was designed for rich people from the start.
I sat by the window and looked out at the river.
โFuhahahahaha!โ
Suddenly, I heard a manโs high-pitched laugh coming from above the river.
There was a houseboat in the center of the river, and at the tip of the boat, a man was throwing something while laughing hysterically.
On both sides of the river, there were piles of people watching, marveling, and cheering each time the man threw something.
The man, pleased with the response, threw more stuff.
And so it goes.
โThatโs .......โ
โLooks beautiful. ......โ
Zoe and Kate came up behind me.
They were one step back from me, in an over-the-shoulder position, looking at the boat and the man.
โWhat is he throwing?โ
โMaybe money.โ[TN: ้ โkinโ means gold or can mean money as well]
โItโs the gold.โ[TN: ้ป้โkoganeโ means gold as well]
โโEhhhhhh!?โโ
Zoe and Kate both squealed in surprise.
โOh, by gold do you mean that gold?โ
โYeah. Itโs probably made out of gold dust or gold leaf since it has relatively long airtime. Since we can see the reflection from this distance, it must have been a very large one.โ
โGold ...... amazing, must be very expensive, right?โ
Kate asked fearfully, to which I replied.
โGiven the size and the amount of reflection, Iโd say about 100 reens each time they are scatteredโ
โ......โ
โoh my......โ
With a thud, Kate collapsed to the floor.
It seems that she fainted from too much.
Zoeโs been the head maid at the Royal Mansion for many years, though, so it wasnโt enough to cause her to pass out.
Still, she was shocked to the extent that her face turned pale and her brow furrowed.
โFuhahahahaha!! Thatโs it!โ
โโKyaaaaah! Olcott-sama is wonderful!โ
โOlcott!?โ
Zoe raised her eyebrows differently hearing the name of the person mixed in with the yellow screams from below.
โMaster!โ
โGovernor Gavel Olcott. Himself or his family? Weโve run into each other right from the start huh.โ
โWith a Governorโs salary, thereโs no way he could do something like that.โ
โExactly. Heโs probably taking a bribe.โ
โWeโll get him.โ
โWait a bit. This in itself is not evidence of a bribe. Letโs let him swim until we get something more incriminating.โ
Zoe nodded her head in agreement, though she looked bitter.
Among my maids, thereโs one important factor in the selection of who I want to put โout thereโ.
When push comes to shove, she is the type that reason can hold her emotions in check.
โItโs true in theory, but ......โ
The person who shows reluctance is a failure,
โIf so, Iโll follow theory.โ
and I like those who can say this.
And, Zoe has those qualities in abundance.
Zoe had a completely different expression now.
She was looking at Olcott on the river with a puzzled look on her face, tilting her head.
She was wondering why he was scattering gold while being pampered by a woman.
โAh, no. Thereโs something different about it.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โHeโs a Governor, but he doesnโt look like a nobleman at all.โ
โBecause heโs not doing his noblemanโs duty.โ
โNoblemanโs duties.โ
Zoe turns her head and gazes at me.
โA nobleman has to act selflessly.โ
โThatโs right!โ
โEven when throwing away gold, the nobleman should convert it into goods and distribute it to the affected areas. This one is just a rich man.โ
โ...... Zoe. What about that Olcott, did you hear about him taking bribes?โ
Before I left Royal Capital, I had gathered some information on the major figures in Gabel, especially those I needed to look into, and I had Zoe memorize them as well.
So I asked Zoe.
โNo, not at all. He came out clean.โ
โThen there arenโt that many possibilities. ...... Zoe, thereโs something I need you to look into right now.โ
Perhaps it was because she had witnessed Olcottโs maniacal behavior, Zoe was motivated.
The next morning, I woke up and got dressed with Kateโs help.
Kate, who had just become a maid, blushed when she saw me standing there naked.
It was just changing clothes, so I did so without embarrassment.
Then there was a knock at the door.
โCome in.โ

Zoe walked in.
She was unfazed seeing me naked.
Kate had a mixed reaction to Zoeโs reaction as well.
You get used to it, I thought, and asked Zoe, ignoring Kateโs reaction.
โSo, did you get it?
โYes. Of the three that Master mentioned, the poem was the first.โ
โOne of Olcottโs handwritten poems was sold for a 10000 reens.โ
โOf courseโโ
โItโs not for sale, just on display in the store.โ
โI see. I was hoping it was a painting, but itโs a poem.โ
โHmm, ......, what do you mean by that?โ
Kate asked curiously while helping me get dressed.
โFor Olcott to spend money the way he did, he had to have taken a bribeโI mean, he must have taken it. So far, so good, right?โ
โYes.โ
โBut he didnโt take it in the form of a straight-up bribe. Then again, what would it be? In that case, the safest thing to do is to trade poems and paintings. A person who wants to bribe, buys a poem or a painting that would be worthless normally โ and were you able to get the real thing?โ
โI wasnโt because it was too expensive, but I have ...... copied it.โ
Zoe held out a piece of paper to me that looked like a note.
I read it and then showed it to Kate.
โ[Halo may be infinite, but Doom is eternal].โ[TN: well the poem says, {No eternity, only timelessness}, โๆฐธ้ ใชใฉใชใใใใใๆฐธ้ โ, really donโt know how to express it]
Shortly after Kate read it, Zoe said
โIt was 1,000 reens.โ
โThis one is 5000 reens.โ
โ[Yesterdayโs Sunset leads Todayโs Sunrise].โ[TN: ๆจๆฅใฎๅค็ผใใฏใไปๆฅใฎๆๆฅ]
โFueeeeeeee!?โ
โSimply put, this oneโs worse. Half as bad as the other one.โ
I shrugged my shoulders.
โOf those, this morningโs offering is likely to be traded for a 1000 reens or so.โ
โSasuga Master.โ{Sasuga Ainz-sama}
โHmm?โ
โIt appears that it already has.โ
I guess the inquiries must have come along as well.
Zoe said with a scornful look on her face.
โI see. So, the oneโs doing it is would be?โ
โYes.โ
Zoe nodded.
โThe stores dealing in poetry were all salt merchants, opened solely for that purpose.โ | ใพใผใคใๅ

Keithโs store on Raid Street.
In the store, Alice is playing the harp and singing as usual.
And from the best seat, His Majesty is listening to her.
Sometimes he looks straight at her, sometimes he closes his eyes and sways his body in rhythm with the song.
His Majesty was enjoying Aliceโs singing.
Curuz and I were standing behind him.
I had gotten the hang of using Apophis.
His Majesty had come to Keithโs in secret, in accordance with Aliceโs insistence on singing only in the establishment and not in a solo performance at someoneโs mansion.
Naturally, there are quite a few customers around.
As long as itโs not too much trouble, no one can harm His Majesty since Iโm with him.
However, there is a great possibility that some people who donโt read the atmosphere will spoil His Majestyโs fun.
So, to prevent that from happening, I took measures with Apophis.
There is a fine line between medicine and poison.
A drug that works on humans is usually just a poison with weakened toxicity.
So I used Apophis to put all the customers in the store to sleep.
I didnโt want them to snore, so I paralyzed them to a certain extent and took away their physical freedom.
Since, all the people here were just customers, and none of them could resist Apophisโs poison โ they were all put to sleep by me without any effort.
As a result, His Majestyโs reception went off without a hitch, quiet and peaceful.
Even so, I looked around to be on the alert, just in case.
Suddenly, I made eye contact with Curuz, who was also waiting.
He only moved his lips and said it without speaking.
I could tell by the way his lips formed because it was a simple word.
He had noticed.
Because a eunuch is a person whose job is to serve the nobleman.
Unlike mere servants, eunuchs are castrated, so they can only do what eunuchs can do, and as a result, they specialize in the ability to serve โ the skills to make the nobleman comfortable.
And Curuz is a eunuch who has been serving the โEmperorโ for a long time.
The emperor has far more power than just a common aristocrat, and Curuz is skilled at serving him.
If Curuz is saying that heโs โ as expected โ, then this is the right thing to do in order to have His Majesty enjoy himself.
I then continued to use Apophis to maintain His Majestyโs entertainment environment.
At the interval, Alice retreated backstage for a moment.
The restaurant was filled with applause as I had broken the sleep and paralysis of all the guests just before.
Most of the customers looked confused, but they still applauded as they were carried away by their surroundings. [TN: Here it says โ็ใซใคใพใพใใโ kitsune ni tsumareru, also termed as a Japanese Idiom that means being disbelieving oneโs eyes, because the situation feels like surreal like a fox had put a spell on you]
โAh yes, Noah.โ
โWhat it may be?โ
โI heard that the war with the Saeis in the south has come to an end.โ
โThe Saei tribe?โ
I wondered for a moment why he was talking about it now.
The Empire is a Warrior nation, and there are always wars and rebellions being suppressed somewhere within its borders.
And, recently, in the south, there had been a battle against the Saeis, a tribe that lived in the forest and did not obey the empire.
โTheyโre giving out awards for meritorious service, and a man named Jerry Eisen was reported to have done particularly well.โ
โJerry ......, heh?โ
Heโs that bandit guy.
I caught him and sent him to the army as a prisoner of war, but he came to the surface surprisingly quickly.
โAfter losing the local battle, this Jerry guy gathered up the remaining soldiers and pushed the enemy back. I heard that he was like a lion in the field.โ
โIs that soโ
โHe said that he wants to repay your favor, Noah.โ
โA favor I owe him?โ
โYou gave me a new and hopeful second life. Like a father figure.โ
โFatherโ
I muttered half-heartedly.
I have nothing against this guy Jerry, but it feels strange to be referred to as a father by a guy like him.
Heโs probably twice my age, to begin with.
โThatโs great, Noah.โ
His Majesty said in a good mood.
โThe man who was a thief has become a useful soldier. Moreover, if he can organize his troops and move them around like arms and legs, then he will be a general.โ
Thatโs true.
He was the leader of the bandits, so I knew he had the ability to organize the troops.
โYou found the man and sent him to the right place. Noah, as always, you are amazing.โ
โPeople are treasure and potential. Your Majesty.โ
โYes, and it was a moment when that potential comes to fruition.โ
His Majesty smiled happily.
โKeep up the good work.โ
After the performance, His Majesty said he wanted to look around the city some more, so I accompanied him as an escort.
We left Raid Street and came to Hose Street.
Hose Street is the busiest street in the Imperial Capital.
Thereโs a huge plaza where the ceremonies of the expedition and the big festivals are held.
Large events are often held here, and the street is usually quite crowded.
โMuu? Whatโs that? Is it something for sale?โ
His Majesty showed interest in a stall in the middle of the square.
At first glance, it looked like a stall, but the merchandise was unusual.
It was a simple stall with several huge jute sacks lined up with strings tied around their mouths.
โThatโs a slave trader, sir.โ
โSlaves?โ
โYes, a proper, licensed slave trader.โ
While saying this, I approached the trader in the stall.
I glanced over to see that His Majesty and Curuz were accompanying me and then asked the trader.
โWhere are these slaves from?โ
โThey are newly arrived slaves of the Saei tribe, sir. Indeed.โ
โWe won the war against the Saei tribe.โ
I spoke calmly but relayed the obvious thing like this.
The empire is always fighting somewhere, thatโs why there is such a thing as military service as a punishment.
And the Empire has always won. Each time it has won, it has taken a large number of prisoners.
Most of the prisoners of war go to licensed slave traders.
Slaves of unimportant status are stuffed into jute sacks and sold for literal piles of money.
โI see, buying and selling of slaves is done in this way.
His Majesty murmured from behind me, sounding like he was interested.
I turned around and bowed slightly to him.
โYes, my lord. Will you be buying some of them?โ
โHow much for these?โ
The merchant replied with a sales smile on his face.
โIs that cheap? Or is it expensive?โ
When His Majesty asked further, I answered.
โFor reens, the sack will have a spell of absolute obedience on it.โ
โMagic?โ
โYes, itโs a spell that causes them to be obedient to all orders, as the first person they see when the bag is opened becomes their masterโ.
โJust like a baby bird.โ
โThatโs what this bag is for.โ
โI see.โ
His Majesty looked at the jute sack with great interest.
Maybe he will buy it.
Although the magic of absolute obedience is in place, just in case, I touched the top of the bag to check if there was any weapon or something hidden inside.
โHmm?โ
โWhatโs the matter, Noah?
โCan I help you, customer?โ
โThis bag ......โ
I gazed at the bag as I touched it.
Thereโs no doubt about it.
I took out reens from my pocket and tossed them to the merchant.
โIโll take this one.โ
โPlease wait a moment.โ
I untied the string that bound the bag and a woman emerged from it.
She had shaggy hair and rags-like slave clothes.
Itโs a common look, but that is not what Iโm looking at.
Itโs my status that is in view.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Ararat
Minister of Justice
Gender: Male
Level: / โ
HPC+DMPE+DStrengthC+AStaminaD+EIntelligenceE+DSpiritE+DSpeedE+EDexterityE+DLuckE+D FireE+AWaterC+SWindE+FEarthE+DLight E+CDarknessE+C
The moment I touched the bag the girl was inside, the โ+โ in my MP went up one level.
This would not happen with a mere slave.
Itโs definitely โsomeoneโ.
To confirm this, I paid the trader to buy her, opened the bag, and activated the magic of absolute obedience.
Then I asked.
โWhat is your name? Who are you?โ
The girl furrows her brow and tries to shut her mouth like a clam, but there is absolute obedience magic.
โLou Peiyu. Daughter of the Saei tribe chiefโeh.โ
She was surprised that she answered against her will, but we were surprised too.
โThe chiefโs daughter ...... was mixed in?โ
โWhat a surprise! You saw right through this, Noah.โ
โSplendid, sir.โ
His Majesty and Curuz were both surprised. | ใฌใคใ้ใใฎใใญใผในใฎๅบใ

โMaster. His Highness the Fourth is here to see you.โ
โMy brother!?โ
When I was reading in the inner garden in the late afternoon of the following day, I was surprised by a visitor who was announced by Cecily, the reception maid.
โYesโ
Cecily bowed and left the room.
A few moments later, my brother Henry, whom I hadnโt seen in a long time, came into the room.
I stood up and bowed lightly to him.
โItโs been a long time, brother. Whatโs up with the sudden visit?โ
โI am here for workโโ a Decree.โ
I was even more surprised and knelt down on the spot as if it was a spinal reflex.
Decree โ that means, an Imperial Command.
โIโve heard that Syria has produced new water suitable for direct consumption. And I want you to urge Cabinet Minister, Henry, to have it transported to the summer resort.โ
I looked up, Brother Henry was smiling at me.
โPrepare the water.โ
โUnderstood.โ
I called my maid and asked her to give a message to Don, who was in another room in the outer garden study.
His Majesty must be referring to the special water.
Iโve ordered twelve barrels of it to be packed for transport.
It was not something I could prepare right away, so I turned to my brother.
โIโll have them prepared. Please wait a moment.โ
โUmu.โ
Saying that I sat down facing my brother.
โYou surprised?โ
โWell, no. Itโs not unusual for water to be transported. Even at the royal palace, water from the Beryl Spring is always transported and kept on hand for tea.โ
โYes. Water from Berylโs Spring. It is said to be the best water in the empire for brewing tea. Itโs so precious that itโs only used for His Majestyโs own drinking and as a reward for his ministers. Itโs going to be the same as that. Thatโs great, Noah.โ
I was surprised at how quickly His Majesty heard.
It hasnโt been that long since the Special-Grade Water was made available.
And yet, heโd already heard about it.
As expected of His Majesty, his ears are as frightening as ever.
Of course, I couldnโt say such a thing.
โThe water has low levels of miscellaneous substances, so I think it will be ideal for His Majestyโs recuperation.โ
โYes, His Majesty should be back on his feet soon.โ
โOh, thereโs one more thing.โ
โAnother one?โ
โYou can read this one yourself.โ
Brother Henry took out an imperial edict from his pocket and handed it to me.
I opened it and read it from the beginning.
It contained commendations and rewards.
As a reward for this incident, my son โ my eldest son, who is not yet even conceived โ has been given a title.
The son of the Emperor is born a Prince, but the son of a Prince is not born with any special title.
His Majesty gave him a baronetcy before he was even born.
โWhat a blessing.โ
โQuite incredible, Noah. Itโs been decades since a member of the royal family has received a baronetcy ...... before birth.โ
โThatโs about right.โ
I searched my memory for something like that, but couldnโt find it.
โThe Water System in Almeria is well developed. Itโs at a level where it doesnโt need any modification. Itโs been an amazing transformation in less than six months since you entered the fief.โ
โI intend to do it all sooner or later.โ
โIs that so!?โ
My brotherโs eyes widened in surprise.
โYes, it will be better for the health of the people and easier to maintain the water supply. Every year some people die during maintenance. Thatโs the first thing we want to eliminate.โ
โYou always take care of people, donโt you?โ
โItโs in my nature.โ
With a crack, the door opened and Audrey came into the room with several maids in tow.
Audrey came in front of Brother Henry and bowed in the manner of a noblewoman.
โItโs been a long time, my brother-in-law.โ
My brother simply nodded.
It was a simple nod, so simple that it seemed almost casual.
Although not as much as the emperor, the inner garden of the prince is operated in the same way as the inner palace.
Even though he was her brother-in-law, he was a man other than her husband.
It is the common sense of the royal family not to talk more than necessary, although they are allowed in the inner garden.
โ Looking well.โ
He said to me.
In such cases, it is normal to converse through me.
โAnd ...... youโve become a proper wife in a short while.โ
He said with a satisfied look on his face.
Audrey was handed a number of things by the maids.
Tea sets, tea leaves, and hot water.
The maids handed them to Audrey, who made the tea and served it to me and my brother.
This is her job, which cannot be left to the maids.
Seeing Audrey doing it quietly, my brother was satisfied.
โPlease.โ
He took the tea that Audrey had made and sipped it.
โUmu, excellent.โ
My brother said, still staring at me.
โYouโre both doing very well for such young people.โ
He seemed to be very satisfied.
After Brother Henry left, I went to the study in the outer garden.
In case His Majesty actually liked the product after drinking it, I would have to decide in advance about the transportation of the product for regular delivery.
As I arrived at the study, the door opened from the other side and Don came out.
โAh! Noah-sama. I was just about to call for you.โ
โYes. ...... Whatโs the matter?โ
Don seemed to be in a panic.
โPlease come in.โ
I nodded and walked into the study.
There was a boy on his knees inside.
He looked at me with a sobbing face, turned around, and slammed his head down hard on the floor.
โMy Lord! My father, please save my father!โ
โ...... What do you mean?โ
After closing the door, Don held something out to me from the side.
I looked at it โ the box.
It was one of those boxes I give out to people to send me messages.
Don held out a box that he hadnโt opened, but the top of it was heavily dented as if it had been hit by a hammer.
โIs this from ...... Lawrence?โ
โYou recognize it?โ
The box contains a portion of the power of the Fuwawa.
From there, I can tell at a glance who Iโve given it to.
โYou said your father. Are you Lawrenceโs son?โ
โYes! My name is Linus.โ
โWhat happened to Lawrence?โ
โHeโs in jail, accused by Pascal-sama of a crime he didnโt commit!โ
I noticed that my eyebrows were furrowed.
I listened to Linusโs story with a clear sense of discomfort.
After the previous incident, Pascal began to be harsher with Lawrence.
โHow did he get into His Highnessโ good graces, huhโ
He seems to be unhappy with the fact that Iโve taken a liking to Lawrence.
Then, a few days ago, he finally framed Lawrence for a crime he didnโt commit and threw him in jail.
โTaking bribes and turning a trial around. ...... My father would never do that!โ
Don asked me with a serious face.
I took the box with the dented top out of Donโs hand.
โDo you remember what this box is capable of?โ
Don tilted his head and tried to remember.
The box itself was the actual thing I told Don about and asked him to give to Lawrence.
I explained it to Don at the time.
โI am sure.... once locked, only His Highness can open it, and if you show it off, it will destroy itself. Isnโt that right?โ
โYes. If Iโm going to go that far, itโs only natural that Iโd have put another one of those means, right?
โ...... that is correct.โ
Don couldnโt help but burst out laughing at how funny it was.
โAnybody who would do something as bad as taking a bribe doesnโt deserve to have this.โ
โThatโs the point.โ
โAs expected, Your Highness. Quite a preparation, sire.โ
I looked at the box.
Pascal tried to destroy the box, but the man named Lawrence kept him from doing so.
Then.
โWhere is the prison where Lawrence is being held?โ
Linus looked at me as if he had found his savior.
Linus led me to a prison cell on the outskirts of Nisir.
Nisir, the capital of the state of Almeria.
The largest city in the province has a large jail on the outskirts of the city.
Linus and I arrived there.
โStop! Who are you?โ
โNoah Ararat.โ
The guard gave me a quick, administrative shout, and I said my name in a cold tone.
โP-Prince......, Noah!โ
The guard realized who I was and hurriedly got down on his knees right then and there.
โIโll head inside.โ
โY-Yes.โ
I walked past the guard and entered the prison.
There was another guard inside, but he seemed to know my face from the start, and before I could say anything, he was too scared to say anything.
I continued on my way and asked one of the guards.
โWhereโs Lawrence?โ
โUh, .......โ
โWhere is he?โ
I stopped, turned my body around, and glared at the stunned prison guard.
The prisoner freaks out, his legs shaking as if heโs about to cave in.

I start walking again, heading in a straight line toward the far end.
Linus followed a few steps behind me.
After a few steps, I hear a muffled groan.
I hurried towards the sound.
When I reached the far end, I saw that something terrible was happening in the prison.
Lawrence was lying on the floor, with what looked like a sandbag on his chest and stomach.
And there were three men dressed in black.
One of them was holding Lawrence down by placing his body on top of the sandbag, and the other two were holding down his arms and legs.
It was a gruesome scene.
As the Minister of Justice, I have seen various documents on punishment and torture at the Ministry of Justice.
This method is to make it look like a natural death.
They put sandbags on the body and put weights on it.
Then, the chest โ and the entire lungs โ are compressed, making it impossible to breathe.
It takes about an hour, but when itโs over, you have a body that looks like it died of natural causes, with no external injuries at all.
โFather!โ
โโโโ!โโโ
Linus shouted, and the black-clad men reacted.
As soon as one of them grunted, he pulled out a knife and tried to stab Lawrence with it.
You switched to a more brutal method because you were found out, huh.
I pulled out Leviathan and swung it down on the spot.
The Prime Minister, who deals with the subjects of the empire.
A state of Invincibility of all abilities SSS.
With a light swing, Leviathan sent slashes flying at the three men.
The two men who were slow to react and had restrained his limbs were cut, and the one with the knife intercepted it with his knife.
However, the knife was also repelled.
The man took out another knife and rushed at me this time.
It was a huge rush, and he was coming at me in a straight line.
The knife gouged me in the chest โ or so it seemed.
โIt was an afterimage.โ
โโ-!โ
With enough speed to leave an afterimage, I got behind the man and slashed my hand across his neck.
The man went white-eyed and collapsed.
โA-Amazing.......โ
Linus, who was following me, had his eyes opened wide and looked as if he had seen something unbelievable. | ไฟบใฏๅใณๆญฉใๅบใใใไธ็ด็ทใซๆๅฅฅใซๅใใฃใฆใใใ

โWhat are you thinking about, Master?โ
โHmm? Oh, Zoe.โ
When I looked up, I saw a maid I knew well standing by the delivery wagon, looking at me with a worried look on her face for some reason.
Iโve been seeing her a lot lately.
After I bought her hometown, a whole village that had been flooded, she offered to repay me in any way she could, so I offered her more work at the mansion.
Perhaps because she felt indebted to me, she worked hard and became attentive to details. Itโs not bad enough to let her take care of things around the house.
Even now, sheโs staying by my side as Iโm thinking in the mansionโs hall and taking care of things.
โIโm sure youโve heard about the selection process for the upcoming knight selection. I was trying to figure out how to do that better.โ
โ Oh, I see!โ
โWhat, are you aware of the Knight Selection?โ
โYes! Itโs the only gateway for us common people to climb up the ladder, and everyone who knows how to use their skills is training for it every day.โ
โYeah. Well, I was just wondering how to do that. ...Is there a challenger from your village?โ
โYes, thereโs one from my village every year.โ
โYeah. Well, I took away the qualifiers this year. They can come as much as they want.โ
โ...yes.โ
Zoeโs vague reply bothered me.
โWhatโs wrong?โ
โIโm sorry!โ
โIโm not offended or anything. Just tell me what you think now, okay?โ
โItโs not really important. The reason for being the only one from my village is not because of the qualifying or anything, but because of the cost of travel to the capital and also the cost of staying there.โ
โHuh?โ
โThe cost of living in the capital is high. Everyone in the village has to contribute money to cover the cost of that one personโs stay at the city. Therefore....โ
Then she gave him a complicated look.
I see, so thatโs what happened.
โ...Is that a lot? The village collects money and sends one of them out.โ
โYes. And so they come out with the expectations of the village, and they all take it very seriouslyโโ
โOkay, well, letโs get rid of it then.โ
Zoe stared blankly.
โWhat are you trying to get rid of?โ
โTravel and accommodation. Iโd like to choose as many as I can, but I donโt want to miss out on talent because of that. Okay, if you want, Iโll provide food, clothing, and shelter for the duration of their stay in the capital.โ
โOh, you can do that?โ
โI can.โ
I said clearly.
โIโm in charge of selecting the knights this time. All I have to do is pay for it, and I can decide right now, right now.โ
โNo sir itโs going to cost a hell of a lot of money...โ
โ Anyone.โ
A manโs servant came in to answer my call.
I ordered him to check the number of empty dwellings in the capital.
I told him to buy every empty house in the city and if thatโs enough, good, if not, itโs enough to build a new dormitory of sorts.
And food, depending on the number of people, weโll need to buy enough to feed a village or a small town.
I search my memory for the grain merchant who has a relationship with the Thirteenth Parentโs residence.
โMaster you are amazing........โ
Beside me, with my brain in full swing, Zoe, on the other hand, was flabbergasted.
On the way home after visiting the grain merchant.
I was heading back home, satisfied after taking the pledge of a steady supply during the knight selection period.
The capitalโs main street is still busy with all sorts of people today.
Is there any talent among these people? The thought of that made me want to catch each one of them and listen to their stories.
Suddenly, one by one, the passersby stopped and broke off to the left and right.
From the other side of the road that had been created, a carriage.
A carriage that stops passersby and gives priority to the use of the road, and that pattern โ thatโs the pattern.
โIsnโt that Noah?โ
The carriage stopped as it came up beside me.
After the horses had stopped neighing, a young man emerged from the carriage.
โBrother,โ
I bowed lightly on the spot.
Oscar Ararat.
His Majestyโs eighth child and my brother.
Obviously, the prince as well. Which is why passersby gave way to him.
Oscar, who is said to be the nicest of all the Princes, spoke to me with a kind face.
โWhat are you doing here?โ
โI was just hanging out. And what about you, brother?โ
โIโm on my way to Cobalt Street. Yeah, why donโt you join us, Noah?โ
โ...Okay, Iโll join you.โ
There was no reason to refuse, so I accepted the invitation.
He quickly lowered a step stool to get me into the carriage, and I used it to get in and sit across from Oscar.
As soon as I got in, he started the carriage up again with his expert handling of the reins.
โI heard that youโve been selected for the upcoming knight selection, Noah.โ
โThatโs a real good ear, brother.โ
โHis Majesty kept going on and on about you. I havenโt seen His Majesty that happy in years.โ
โIs that so?โ
โYeah, at least for the first time since Noah was born.โ
I talk with Oscar about knight selection.
I told Oscar that he has good ears, but he doesnโt seem to have as many ears as Your Majesty does.โ
He knows about the selection process, but he doesnโt know that Iโm working to secure food and clothing for all those who travel to the capital as soon as possible.
Well, it could be said that that of His Majesty was too unusual.
A short time later, the carriage came to the entrance of another main street.
โFrom here on out, we have to walk.โ
โAre you sure about the carriage?โ
โThis is a place where I enjoy using my feet to hunt for treasure.โ
Oscar smiled innocently.
He was already a young man, but he had a childlike smile that suited him well, despite his age.
We get out of the carriage and turn into Cobalt Street, which is right in front of us.
Cobalt Street is a densely populated area of antique dealers.
Some of them have shops and some have stalls.
All the antiques from all over the empire are gathered here, but at the same time many fakes are also gathered.
Itโs a small town that is truly jumbled up, and it is considered an aristocratโs way of life to seek out genuine treasures using their own eyes.
โHas Noah ever been here before?โ
โIโve heard a lot about it. This is my first time here in person.โ
โOkay.โ
โI hear it costs quite a bit of money.โ
โNot really, , reens will be enough for now, and even if you find a real bargain, it will be enough for a handout.โโ
The average amount of money an adult male in the city earns in a month is ten reens.
Ten thousand is not a small amount, but when you meet a real treasure, you need that much.
I walked around with Oscar.
We went into a shop and looked at some bargains, or went to a stall and looked at some of the displays.
โI didnโt know they had paintings and stuff.โ
โYeah. Well, most of those artworks are fake.โ
Oscar replied, no longer as enthusiastic as he was when he came here.
I can see that the tension is clearly dropping due to the fact that he hasnโt been able to find any treasures.
Well, itโs not like Iโm going to be able to find treasures pompously like that.
With that in mind, I randomly lifted the things lined up in the stalls and stared at them.
I donโt know much about antiques and artifacts.
As a tendency, there are somehow better things in the places that have a proper shop, and the stalls seem to be full of junk.
That may be my preconceptions.
With that in mind, I picked up a book from the stall.
Itโs a rather old book with a thick cover.
โโ-m!โ
A moment later, my hand stopped.
โWhat is it, Noah?โ
โHow much is this?โ
โItโs three reens.โ
I pull the said amount out of my pocket and hand it to the owner.
Then I stare at it intently.
โWhatโs the matter with you, Noah, staring at it with such a scary look on your face?โ
โ....โ
โWhatโs the matter with that, I mean, let me see a little bit, Noah.โ
As if he remembered something, Oscar grabbed my wrist and stared at the old book.
This action, on the contrary, made me go, โWhatโs wrong?โ
โBrother?โ
โThis is ... oh, Iโm sure of it. Noah, this is a treasure.โ
โTreasure?โ
โOh. This is the book of the great sorcerer Andreas. And itโs the original.โ
โHow do you know itโs a treasure? Itโs amazing, Noah.โ
Smiling back at Oscar, I looked down at the old book โ the book of magic โ again.
I didnโt know this was a treasure, I just saw certain things change as soon as I picked it up.

I got a โ+โ at the wind.
Definitely because of this, so I paid three reeks to get it.
I looked at the grimoire as I walked, Oscar was still beside me, saying.
โโApparently it was written quite a bit later. Depending on the content, a 1000 reens wouldnโt be trivial. Wow, thatโs amazing, to find the real thing in Cobalt Street for the first time, and among the stalls.โ
โ... feeling.โ
โEh? What?โ
I stopped.
I thrust the Leviathan at the Book.
โNoah!?โ
Oscar was surprised, but I ignored it and prodded the Leviathan.
Leviathan told me about it.
It was strange that my status increased with the grimoire.
The โ+โ in my ability is only when I have a human under my command.
When I wondered about that, Leviathan told me that a soul was enclosed in the grimoire.
In order to get a glimpse of that soul, I thrust my sword at the book as Leviathan had told me to do.
Then โ a black shadow came out of the book.
The shadow that came out had the shape of a person, but it was pure white with no pupils in its eyes, and a monstrous aura rose up from around its body.
โNo way! A forbidden book that contains the soul of the person in question! Run, Noah! He has mastered the windโโ
I moved before Oscar could finish.
The one who moved me was a mad dog, a loyal dog, Leviathan.
As soon as he appeared, the Leviathan gave one of the most hostile looks Iโve ever seen.
So I immediately moved to cut off the manโs head with a flash of my demon sword, and in return, I unleashed Leviathanโs special technique, the water column.
The head with a parabolic neck and the torso that was attached to the grimoire.
The water pillar smashed them all together.
The โ+โ disappeared from the status.
It was a waste, but Leviathanโs hostility was practically a warning, so I thought it was better to do this.
โSpeaking of which, just now, brother was shouting something, but was that โ brother?โ
The next thing I knew, Oscar was looking at me and gaping his mouth open, pouting.
โWhatโs the matter, brother?โ
โYou ... when did you become so strong?โ
Brother was genuinely surprised. | ้ขจใฎๆใซใ+ใใใคใใใ

โMore importantly, brother, you had some business with me, didnโt you?โ
โOhh, thatโs right.โ
He straightened up and looked at me as if he had changed his mind.
โIโve come to ask Noah for a favor.โ
โA favor from me?โ
I braced myself.
Brother Henry, the Fourth Prince.
His rank is the same as mine, and we are as old as father and son.
If such an older brother comes and formally asks you, you canโt help but feel defensive.
โOh, itโs nothing serious. You know that I have many entertainers.โ
โYeah.โ
I nodded.
My brother does his duty as a nobleman.
He supports painters, musicians, and other artisans.
As a nobleman, the more you can do that, the more you will be honored and praised.
Thatโs the reason why I supported Alice.
โSome time ago, I found a boy with a great talent for painting. His talent makes me shudder.โ
โFor my brother to say that...... is quite a feat.โ
He nodded at my words.
โI gave him a fair amount of help to start with because he was having trouble making ends meet, but I didnโt think that would be enough. Thatโs why I want Noah to raise him.โ
โWhy me?โ
โAlice.โ
My brother said and smiled at me.
โThe songstress you raised has made a name for herself throughout the empire. Even His Majesty has been known to go out of his way to listen to her.โ
โ What the !โ
Crash! I stood up with such force that I hit the sofa and made a noise.
โHis Majesty?โ
โYeah. And not just once or twice. Whenever Alice is in the capital, itโs quite often. Even more surprisingly.โ
My brother looked impressed, chuckled, or something in between.
โHis Majesty โ who has had more than thirty children. He doesnโt want to embrace her at all, he just wants to listen to her sing.โ
โ...... Ohhhhh.โ
Thatโs great, I was surprised too.
The other day, the Seventeenth Prince was born.
This means that His Majesty has male children alone.
If you include the female children, the Princess, there are more than thirty.
His Majestyโs libido is so strong that he can have thirty children, but he does not want to do that at all with Alice.
Itโs not that Alice is not beautiful.
He just wants to go to her and listen to her singing.
We, who know His Majesty well and are the result of his work, know how great it is.
โSo, I want to ask you, the man who raised Alice-โ
โMe?โ
โI can only count on you, Noah.โ
Brother said so and looked at me straight in the eyes.
Only count on me.
If he is going to that extent, there is no way I can refuse.
I decided to accept painter in making from my brother.
After my brother left, I was thinking about what to do with the painter in making.
I had the maids serve me, and I was relaxing and thinking over a cup of tea.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a receptionist maid came in.
It wasnโt Cecily, but another Maid she had left behind in the capital.
โMaster, Byron Alain is here to see you.โ
โByron? Send him in.โ
โVery well, sir.โ
Once the maid left, Byron came in almost as soon as she left.
He seemed to be in a hurry, his normally neatly set hair was disheveled, his forehead was sweating profusely, and he was out of breath.
โWhatโs the matter, youโre in such a hurry?โ
โSorry about this ...... you guys.โ
Byron turned around and hurried his men who were just about to enter.
They carried several boxes and laid them out in the room.
โYes. First of all, I have something to report. Ada-sama is pregnant.โ
Ada.
She entered the royal palace with my help, caught His Majestyโs eye, and became the concubine.
She was originally under Byronโs command, but now that she has become a concubine, the positions have reversed and she is now called Ada-sama.
โThank you, Your Highness. I owe it all to you, Your Highness.โ
Byron was about to speak when he turned and looked at his men.
They all opened the boxes they had brought in at once.
The box was filled with gold coins.
โWow, ......, Iโve never seen anything like it.โ
The young maid behind me, who had been serving and was now refraining from serving, blurted out.
A box full of gold coins.
That amount of gold coins โ roughly ,00 reens, I think.
โItโs a small token of our appreciation for His Highnessโ efforts.โ
โAll right, Iโll take it.โ
โThank you very much!โ
I called a Maid and instructed her to take the men to the place where the gold was stored.
The Maid and Byronโs men left together, and I sent the young maid serving us back, as this was going to be a confidential conversation.
It was just me and Byron in the room.
We sat on the sofa, facing each other.
โActually, weโve just found out that another person โ Consort Rebecca is also pregnant.โ
Well, as expected of His Majesty.
I canโt believe heโs added two more children to the family.
Or rather, the results of that ...... trip to the summer resort with the concubines have just come out.
โI was hoping Your Highness could give me some advice on what to do about it.โ
โIs there a guardian on the other side?โ
โYes. In fact, theyโve already started working on it.โ
โWhat about it? Anything done about it?โ
โNo, I didnโt want to do anything until I spoke to His Highness. Thatโs why Iโve come here.โ
โI see. Then you need not do anything.โ
โEh?โ
โIn fact, this just saved your life.โ
โI-Is that ......?โ
Byron is surprised.
The word โ saved your life โ caught him off guard.
โ ...... How, what do you mean?โ
I kept my voice low and answered Byron.
โHis Majesty is disgusted by the two rebellions.โ
โโ!โ
Byronโs face tensed again in a different way as he realized the gravity of what I was saying.
โHeโs allowing the Princes to do all sorts of political work, but the fact that he has a firm grip on Military power and decision-making power is proof of that. His Majesty does not like people who try to seize power now. The most taboo thing would be for an upstart to try to seize power under the guise of the Inner Palace.โ
โSo itโs best not to do anything about it.โ
Returning to my earlier advice, I mentioned it again, and this time Byron huffed.
โB-But then, no matter what...โ
โHaste makes waste... no, losing is winning.โ
โLosing is ...... winning.โ
โIt is better to do absolutely nothing, but rather to actively withdraw from the situation. It would be a good contrast if the one who conceived at the same time, and who is in the same position as you is also actively working.โ
โAhh ......โ
Looks like he finally got it.
โSo donโt do anything, you should rather actively retreat.โ
โI see, Your Highness! Thatโs an excellent idea!โ
Byron was overjoyed and patted his chest.
Just as he had rushed in bringing 100,000 reens.
If he hadnโt heard about it from me, he would have been doing a lot of work on behalf of Ada, who would be promoted to legitimate wife the next moment.
โ To begin with.โ
โTo begin with?โ
โHis Majesty is indeed a great ruler. One in a few hundred years.โ
โYeah.โ
I know that, but why bring that up? Bryon had such a look on his face.
โNo matter how well you try to gain power, his Majesty will always know about it. In that sense, itโs better not to do anything.โ
โYou are absolutely right, Your Highness!โ
Byron said, standing up and opening the door, beckoning to his men outside.
โGo back to the store now and bring me another 100,000 reens.โ
The thank-you was also this much, to the degree that he thought it was such a โ life-saverโ. | ใใใใใใๅ

Today, while returning to the mansion around mid-afternoon after listening to Aliceโs singing, I saw two people in the garden, a man and a woman, tied to a tree.
The man was a eunuch and the woman was a maid.
Both were familiar faces in the mansion.
The two were tied to a tree and being whipped by another eunuch.
As I paused to wonder at the unusual sight, Zoe came out from inside the mansion.
โWelcome back, Master.โ
โWhatโs that?โ
When I asked, Zoe blushed and made a complicated face.
โMadam is ...... well ......โ
โFumu. All right, Iโll ask Audrey directly.โ
I could tell that this was a very difficult thing to say.
If I questioned her too strongly, Zoe would probably answer, but I didnโt have to go that far.
After asking Zoe, I went inside the Mansion and visited Audrey in the living room.
โAh, welcome home, Noah-sama.โ
โIโm home. Whatโs that in the garden?โ
โIโm sorry, that was my fault.โ
โHmm?โ
What do you mean? I asked her to elaborate.
โA while ago, one of the maids told me she saw them naked in their room, hugging each other, so I went to .......โ
โOh.โ
I could feel my temples twitching.
โStill a Man?โ
โItโs been changed properly. All castrated โ definitely a eunuch.โ
โFumu.โ
There are several ways to castrate a eunuch.
Half castration, in which only the testicles are removed, and full castration, in which the entire genitals are removed.
Of course, considering the nature of eunuchs, it goes without saying that the latter is more โsafeโ.
โSo they are only doing pretend play?โ
โYes. So, the eunuch was given whippings and the maid was given . Since it was an internal matter, I handled it myself.โ
โWell, thatโs perfectly reasonable. Thereโs nothing to be concerned about.โ
Audrey was relieved.
The eunuch was a castrated man, but that didnโt mean that he had lost his libido altogether.
Of course, there are eunuchs who have reached zero, and thatโs fine.
However, eunuchs who still have a little bit of sexual desire will have relationships with lady in waiting in the royal palace, or with maids in the noblemanโs mansion.
Sometimes they get into a good relationship and have physical intimacy with each other.
By the way, eunuchs who are completely castrated canโt โ release โ themselves when they have physical intimacy, so they tend to engage in violent acts such as biting or hitting their partners.[TN: I didnโt need explanation]
If they had not been castrated, then this would be a crime of death, but if they had been properly castrated and were doing โplay,โ it would only take a few dozen lashes.
โWhy the difference in numbers?โ
โThat...... eunuch said, โI was the one who asked her out. Itโs not her fault!โ And so he defends her. The maid tried to cover for him as well, but the eunuch got down on his knees with such force that his forehead bled.โ
โFumu. ...... So itโs a two-sided affair.โ
โYes.โ
Audrey nodded quietly.
I thought about it for a minute and then said to Zoe, who came into the living room with me.
โGo to the garden and tell them to come here when the whipping is over.โ
Zoe walked out of the living room and went to call them.
A short time later, the pair of the eunuch and the maid came in, with their clothes in tatters and swollen lines here and there โ ripped and bleeding in some places.
As soon as they entered the living room, they turned extremely pale and got down on their knees.
โF-Forgive us!โ
โIt wonโt happen again! Soโ!
โAhh, youโve already been punished, so stop it.โ
I held up my hand to stop them from apologizing.
Audrey was right, this was an internal matter.
Now that sheโs dealt with it, itโs not my place to say anything.
Audrey is the legitimate wife of the Prince, in other words, the Princess.[TN: it says queen (็ๅฆ โohiโ), but I didnโt feel like using it, so changed it to Princess, suggestions are welcomed though.]
She has a reputation to uphold. If sheโs wrong, itโs obvious, but if sheโs not and I intervene, no one will listen to her orders in the future.
โThatโs not what Iโm talking about. You guys seem to like each other.โ
โItโs ......โ
The eunuch and the maid looked at each other.
They had the look of unsure of how to answer.
Eventually, the eunuch made up his mind.
โYes! We like each other. We came from the same village, she went to His Highnessโ residence and I went to the royal palace, but when His Highness entered the fief, I requested my superiors to let me accompany her.โ
โChildhood friends, huh?โ
I looked at Audrey and she shook her head in surprise.
It seems that she didnโt know.
โYes, .......โ
โ You want to stay together foreverโ
The eunuch replied haltingly.
He seemed unsure of my true intentions.
โOne last thing. Are there any more like you in the mansion?โ
โโ-!โ
โIโm not talking about ratting them out. Ohh, I guess the order was wrong. Zoe, I want you to buy up some of the houses around the estate. Preferably in a neighborhood that surrounds the mansion. One of them will be given to you.โ
โโ............โโ
The two of them were puzzled, they didnโt know what was going on and didnโt seem to be able to follow it at all.
โDuring the day, you can continue to work at the mansion as before, but at night you can go back to your homes.โ
โNoah-sama, ...... it looks as if you are arranging ...... marriages for your subjects.โ
Audrey said, and they both snapped out of it.
โI intend to.โ
After replying to Audrey, I asked them.
โSo? We can pretend this never happened if you donโt want to be together forever.โ
โA-Absolutely not!โ
โThank you very much! Thank you very much!โ
They bowed their heads to me again and again.
โSuch ...... an amazing person ......โ
โI shall never forget this kindness.โ
โHmm. Ah, yes. If you want a daughter, you can adopt one. Iโll treat your adopted daughter as a household member. A son is fine, but you donโt want to take a son and turn him into a eunuch, do you?โ
โโโ! Thank you very much!โโ
The two of them were so moved to tears that they kept bowing their heads over and over again, like a bunch of grasshoppers.
โThatโs why. If any of the servants want to start another โfamilyโ, they can do the same as now. I leave this matter to you.โ
โYes, I understand.โ
Audrey smiled and nodded.
โBut as expected of Noah-sama. I could never have imagined such a procedure.โ
โUm, Master .......โ
โHmm?โ
I turned to Zoe.
For some reason, she had a troubled look on her face.
โWhatโs wrong?โ
โThat ...... there was an order from Master...โ
โThis year, that ...... money is ......โ
โ...... Oh.โ
Thinking for a moment, I understood why Zoe looked so worried.
In the past, when it came to water maintenance, my brother Oscar couldnโt pass the budget for it this year, so I had to cover it out of my own pocket.
โNothing at all?โ
โNo, maybe for those who want to. Itโs just that purchasing them in a circle around the house is .......โ
โI see. Well then, letโs start with the applicants. The neighbors wonโt be leaving any time soon. The rest can wait until next year.โ
โI understand. Iโll do it that way.โ
โ The next day, while I was relaxing in the living room, playing a mock battle between the newly subordinated Apophis and four of his seniors to raise their levels and determine their ranks, Cecily, the serving maid, came in.
โMaster, you have a visitor.โ
โWho is this?โ
โWell, there are a lot of ...... mayors.โ
โWhat?โ
I frowned.
โMayors, are they from Nisir?โ
โYes.โ
โAll right, lead them into the parlor. And call Don.โ
Cecily nodded and left the living room.
I stood up and walked to the parlor, thinking.
Nisir, the capital of Almeria.
This city is divided into a number of โtownsโ.
Each town has its own mayor and based on two or three towns, there is one governor.
And the mayors of these towns came in group?
What the heck.
I thought about it and couldnโt figure it out, so I met up with Don on the way and we went into the parlor together.
There were about twenty people standing in the room.
Most of them were old men, with a few middle-aged ones.
Thatโs what they looked like.
โItโs a privilege to meet you. My name is Delos.โ
The old man at the front bowed his head and said.
The other mayors bowed along with him but said nothing.
It seemed that Delos was the leader of the group.
โUmm. Cecily, bring everyone a chair.โ
I sat down on the couch. Don stood behind me.
I had the maids bring in the chairs, as there were not enough of them in the room for the mayors. | ใใฎๆฅใใขใชใผใใงใฎๆญใ่ดใใซ่กใฃใฆใๆผ้ใใใใใซๅฑๆทใซๅธฐใฃใฆใใใจใๅบญใๆจใซๆฌใใคใใใใฆใใ็ทๅฅณใฎๅงฟใ่ฆใใใ

I waited until all the mayors had sat down in their chairs.
โSo, whatโs the occasion?โ
I asked Delos.
โHere.โ
Delos stood up, walked over to me, and held out something with both hands.
I took it and opened it.
It looked like a catalog, with words written on it.
โWhatโs this?โ
โThis is a donation from the entire town.โ
โMoney?โ
โI heard that this year His Highness spent his own money to maintain the waterworks.โ
โ......โ
โWater is the lifeline of this city. We cannot thank you enough, Your Highness.โ
โThatโs why you came to me to repay me?โ
Delos said so, and, the mayor and others stood up as if in unison, and bowed their heads.
โWe apologize for any rudeness. But please accept the feelings of the people.โ
โโโPlease do.โโโ
โAll right, Iโll take it without reservation, then.โ
โโโThank you very much!!!โโโ
The mayors looked up again, and all of them had happy faces.
After the mayors left, Don and I remained in the parlor.
Iโm looking at the inventory that Delos gave me.
โWhat a ...... story, Iโve never heard such an amazing story before. Itโs unheard of for people to voluntarily give money like this. This is another example of His Highnessโ virtue.โ
โDon.โ
โYes, what is it?โ
โProceed with the purification of the water source to make it special-grade.โ
โEh? That was supposed to be done after the budget was setโโ
I tossed the inventory to Don.
โYou see this?โ
โ.......โ
Don was puzzled.
โBut thatโs His Highnessโsโโ
โIt is the duty of a nobleman to answer to the goodwill of his people. Iโll get the money I spent back from the Treasury next year. This is the peopleโs money, so spend it on the people.โ
โBy your will. We will definitely use it all for water projects.โ
โUm.โ
I nodded and left the parlor, leaving Don behind.
After Noah left, Don stayed in the parlor for a while to think, and then he left the room to look for Zoe.
Zoe was now the head maid.
As far as Don could see, she was as talented as Evelyn, but she was loyal to Noah and had no intention of becoming a governor like Evelyn.
He explained to Zoe what had just happened and showed her the catalog he had received.
โThatโs just like Master. I guess heโll just do what he has to do and say nothing to the people.โ
Don said, and Zoe nodded.
โSo what do you suggest we do?โ
โIโll do everything I can to get the water project going. Zoe, use the maids and eunuchs to spread the word.โ
โYouโll keep the facts under wraps?โ
โAll right. Leave it to me.โ
โAppreciated.โ
Don and Zoe. They nodded at each other and parted ways for the moment.
Noah didnโt like to talk about it, saying โItโs a noblemanโs privilege to be putting up with it,โ but those who adored him couldnโt stand it.
Noahโs fame grew even higher without his intention. | ็บ้ท้ใฎไบบๆฐใงใฏ้จๅฑใซๅใไปใใฎใใฎใ่ถณใใชใใฃใใใใใกใคใ้ใซๆค

The next morning, after breakfast, I was summoned to the royal palace and arrived at the flower garden.
I found His Majesty in the midst of the colourful flower garden, where he was playing with a parrot โ enjoying himself โ and I hurried to him with a great stride.
โNoah Ararat, here to answer your summons.โ
His Majesty was in a very good mood as I dropped to one knee and bowed my head.
โOh, youโre here. Lift your head.โ
โYes, sir.โ
โHenry told me what happened last night. The assassin has spoken up.โ
โSo?โ
โHmm. This is a rebel hand. They thought theyโd capture you and turn you into a card for their play.โ
I wasnโt surprised, because I knew what to expect.
Rather, I was surprised that they threw up in just one night.
โYour Majesty,โ
โIโm afraid I am speaking out of place, but itโs possible that they lied.โ
โYouโre a smart boy.โ
His Majesty was in an increasingly good mood.
โ Well, about that, thereโs nothing to be worried. There is a way to be sure that the person who spoke up was telling the truth. According to that, it is the truth.โ
So the path of the snake.
I donโt know much about torture, so letโs just accept it for what it is.
โTherefore. Good job, Noah. If you had been captured, the Empire would have had to make a difficult choice.โ
โAnd,โ
โ?โ
Is there more to it? โ and the next moment I thought.
โIโm impressed that youโve got your eye on fodder supplies.โ
โโe!โ
This was a grand surprise.
The talk of buying up the fodder in the surrounding land to capture Almeria and reduce the power of the cavalry was something that I came up with on the spot last night and only told Byron.
And yet, it has already been heard by His Majesty.
This kind of thing has happened occasionally before, but this was the most surprising.
The fact that I was surprised doesnโt really matter at all, as His Majesty excitedly praised me.
โAnyone can do a food raid, but to think about the people of your domain and attack only on horses, and with your own money!โ
His Majesty approached me and placed a hand on my shoulder with a pat.
โThis idea, and the power of action, is amazing. Itโs not something you can do very often.โ
โThank you.โ
โIโll have to reward you with something. Money will be too mundane for this matter.... ...... Okay, Cruz.โ
โHa!โ
The eunuch Cruz emerged from the shadows of the flower garden.
As usual, I donโt know where heโs hiding until heโs called.
โ Permission to put a sword on Noahโs coat of arms. Give the decree.โ
โAs you wish.โ
Cruz moved quickly.
I got down on one knee again, surprised, and dropped my head down once more.
That said.
The Empire is a nation of warriors, and many of the honors are battle-related.
Among them, adding a โswordโ to an official coat of arms is something that should not be done without the Emperorโs permission.
The same is true for the signs of merchants and guilds.
If you use a โswordโ on a crest without permission, you will be guilty of impiety, and in the worst case, you could be executed.
On the contrary, being able to use it is the highest honor bestowed by the emperor.
I raised my face and stood up.
His Majesty smiles, dimples appearing on his wrinkled face.
He looks happier than I do.
Suddenly, His Majesty seems to remember.
โOh, yes, Noah, have you decided how youโre going to choose the knight selection?โ
โ...... Yes, I have one plan.โ
โ hmm? Whatโs it like?โ
โWould you mind excusing me?โ
โMm, I approve.โ
After His Majesty nodded solemnly at me, I beckoned to the junior eunuch, who was waiting in the distance and was visible.
I gave the coming eunuch an earful and got him ready to go.
Then the eunuch complied and ran to get ready.
A few minutes later, a table and chairs were placed in the flower garden, and a few more eunuchs arrived with a few additional eunuchs.
There was a tea set on the table and the eunuch was holding a bucket of water.
It was actually easier to recognize the soldiers, but they did this because they werenโt allowed to be armed inside the royal palace without His Majestyโs permission.
I turned my gaze to His Majesty.
He smiled and nodded, a look on his face that said he was looking forward to seeing what I was going to do.
I nodded back, sat down in my chair and picked up my tea set.
I behaved as if it was an elegant tea time โ in the heavenly garden inside the royal palace, the most expensive garden in the land.
One of the eunuchs, beckoning me to join him, splashed a bucket of water on me.
The water hurled at me, and Leviathan reacted to it.
My armor transformed from the Linked Ring and became like an umbrella, blocking the bucket of water.
Furthermore, another eunuch splashed on me, and then the next eunuch on the waiting list.
In total, there were four eunuchs, all of whom splashed buckets of water, but all of them were prevented by the ring umbrella.
The ground was soaked with water, but the area around me, inside the two-meter diameter circle, was dry.
The word โterritory(domain)โ comes to mind.
Inside the territory, even if it was just a drop of water, Leviathan didnโt let any of it through.
The demonstration was complete, I put down my teacup, stood up and reported to His Majesty down on one knee.
โ I will have the person I am selecting attack me like this. Iโll decide how far they can push me, then Iโll decide.โ
I didnโt dare say it because I meant that teatime would be a long process.
โIโm impressed. This should be able to withstand the long process of selection.โ
His Majesty seemed to have seen it coming.
โBut ...... ummm.โ
โIs there any problem with it?โ
โMm. Thatโs why I thought it was dangerous. Some of the ones we select will be reasonably strong. In the unlikely event that they can penetrate your defenses.โ
โ Thatโ s the extent of my commitment, sir.โ
I answered immediately.
It is the duty of a nobleman, the duty of a prince.
I must find the right people for the Empire.
Compared to that, some risk is unavoidable.
So I answered immediately.
And then His Majesty became more and more โ with the happiest face of the day.
โWell said. Iโm proud of you, Noah. Thatโs my son,the prince of the empire.โ
He praised me for this.
When I came back to the mansion from the palace, Byron had come to visit me.
I let him into the parlor to talk to him, heโs been working on buying up the fodder as soon as possible and seems to have some idea of what heโs going to do.
โYouโre early,'โ
There are only a limited number of fodder places from where it can be transported, and I know where they are. So it is not that difficult to seize them.โ
As expected of a merchant.
As I was about to ask for more information, there was a knock at the door of the room.
Itโs an unusual, impatient knock.
โEnter.โ
A maid from the hospitality service came in.
โExcuse meโMaster, thereโs a man with wounds at the main gate.
โ A man with wounds?โ
โI received word that he came from Almeria with a report of something important to master.โ
When I heard the word โAlmeria,โ I exchanged glances with Byron and we nodded at each other.
I got up first and left the room, Byron following behind me.
We left the mansion and came to the main gate.
There, as the maid reported, there was one young man who looked like a raggedy looking man.
Aside from being covered in fresh wounds, his skin and clothes are stained with sweat and mud, and you can tell at a glance that heโs a person who came from far away in a hurry.
โThis is Noah Ararat.โ
โItโs a pleasure to meet you, Your Imperial Highness.โ
โHmm. And who are you?โ
โIโm a soldier in the province of Adora, in the province of Almeria, and Iโm the commander of a ten-man squad.โ
โHmm.โ
โYour Highness, thereโs been a rebellion in Almeria.โ
โ......ho.โ
I quietly listened to the young man.
It wasnโt much of a story now that the young man spoke.
His superiors had rebelled in Almeria.
He didnโt agree with it himself, so he desperately escaped the army and came to the Imperial City to report to me.
I thought for a moment and nodded.
โOkay, you did well to inform me.โ
Then I turned to the hospitality service maid who had followed along.
โPatch him up. And reward him with five hundredโno, a thousand reens.โ
I ordered.
The maid nodded and called for another maid to take the man away to patch him up.
We remained there, myself and Byron, and soon Byron asked me.
โYour Highness, what did that mean?โ
โhmm?โ
โ His Highness already knows about the rebellion, doesnโt he? So why did you reward him with such a large sum of money?โ | ็ฟๆใๆ้ฃใฎๅพ็ๅฎฎใซๅผใณๅบใใใไฟบใฏใ่ฑๅใซใใฃใฆใใใ

โCertainly his information was useless. Itโs nothing new now, and it wonโt be of any use.โ
Byron stares straight at me as I say that.
Right, so? He kept looking at me asking, with his eyes.
โThat feeling, the reward for that loyalty. A mere captain of a soldier has risked his life to inform me, and I must reciprocate that loyalty.โ

A few days later, in the study of the royal palace in the daytime.
His Majesty, the head of the study, is there, and across from the desk where he usually sits, Albert, the Crown Prince, and I are standing side by side.
All three of us have very serious faces.
I stepped forward and broke the silence with a cough before beginning my report.
โThe investigation of Brotherโโโno, Gilbertโs house has been completed. We found a document in a hidden room in the basement that shows what happens if you consume Poinics wine and dragon claws together.โ
โSolid evidence of an attempt to conspire against you. The fact that it was hidden in a hidden room is the best proof. A bastard no better than a dog.โ[Donโt compare that as**ole to a dog]
Albert spat hatefully.
On the other hand, His Majesty sighed with a dejected look on his face, as if he had lost ten years of age because of this incident.
โWhat about Gilbert?โ
โGilbert is imprisoned. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, weโve magically restricted his every move and assigned him three times as many guards as usual.โ
What I reported was an unbelievably strict regime.
He had plotted to poison the emperor, a crime of unprecedented proportions, and I didnโt want anything to happen to him before His Majesty made a decision.
If Gilbert were to commit suicide in the prison because of his guilt, the guards would all be fired, no joke.
I protected Gilbert with the strictest of measures โ in fact, with the strictest of measures to protect him from the whole world.
โWell, ....... So, whatโs the disposition?โ
His Majesty opened his heavy mouth and stared at me.
As the Minister of Justice, he asked for my opinion.
โThere is solid evidence, and it is a clear case of treason, a conspiracy to kill His Majesty, so in light of imperial law, there is no alternative but to execute him by decapitation.โ
โUmu. ......โ
His Majesty made a face of a grimace.
Seeing this, I took a breath and then continued.
โBut in this case, it could be taken as an attempt.โ
His Majestyโs eyebrows twitched.
โWhat if it is an attempt?โ
โOf course, it must be treason, so the execution by decapitation is unavoidable. However, the sentence can be suspended for a reduced period of time. And in the case of treason, His Majesty can order the suspension to be carried out at any time he wishes.โ
โWhy are you doing such a complicated thing?โ
Albert, after hearing my opinion, tilted his head curiously.
โNo, this is just Noah. He thinks in terms of both the law and humanity.โ
โ......โ
I bowed silently.
Thatโs what I thought, and I donโt know if I should say โyesโ too often.
โYouโve thought this through, Noah.โ
โ......?โ
Albert, on the other hand, still doesnโt seem to understand.
Although he was almost murdered, Gilbert is still his son.
He also thought of the possibility that he could not punish his son even if he was about to be killed.
Thatโs why I came up with the idea of a suspension of execution, where the emperor can decide the timing of execution at his discretion within the law โ in other words, if he wanted to, he could effectively sentence him to life in prison.โ
His Majesty understood this and praised me for it.
โYour Majesty, donโt hesitate. Whoever it was who thought of poisoning you should be executed.โ
Albert appealed for immediate execution.
This is the right thing to do, though.
For a moment, I saw His Majestyโs brow furrow in displeasure.
It was only for a moment, however, and he quickly returned to his normal expression and thought about it for several tens of seconds.
โ...... Albert.โ
โYes.โ
โI will leave the execution to you. Go ahead.โ
Albert got down on one knee and walked out of the study.
I sighed secretly in my mind.
โNoah.โ
โYouโve done well. Itโs amazing you can be so thoughtful.โ
โ......โ
โThat kind of thoughtfulness alone is a lifesaver.โ
I was silent, just listening with my head faintly bowed.
The air that had been heavy from the start became even heavier, and his majesty coughed and changed the subject.
โGilbertโs estate after his death will be transferred. Actually, I was going to give it to you as is, butโโ
โPlease do not.โ
I looked up quickly and interrupted his words.
โHm?โ
โThis whole thing started because of my informant. No matter how much fault Gilbert has brought upon himself, if I took Gilbertโs domain because of it, it might lead to a dispute between the Princes later on โ or rather, pulling each otherโs legs.โ
After I said that, His Majesty revealed a smile happily for the first time today.
โDonโt be hasty, I said โactuallyโ.โ
โAh .......โ
โAnd well said. Thatโs what Iโm afraid of. Yes, there is that fear. Itโs okay to fight, but dragging each other down is unacceptable. So Iโm not rewarding Noah for this.โ
โThank you for your consideration.โ
I knelt down on the spot and thanked him.
โInstead, Iโm going to do whatโs right. Noah, youโve reached the point where you are ready to enter your domain(fief). Itโs time for you to think about taking a wife.โ
I raised my head and nodded.
I am years old now, but it is not so early to get married.
The first marriage of a member of the royal family, that is to say, for the main wife is % political, and the marriage must be with someone whose family background is at least equal.
If you take that into consideration, twelve is a bit late.
โHow about my uncleโโ-Lightning Princeโs granddaughter?โ[TN: visible confusion ้ท(kaminari=Lightning) ่ฆช็(Shino=Imperial Prince)โ
โI have no objection.โ
I replied as a matter of course.
โI see. Actually, I had the fortune-teller do a compatibility reading beforehand, and she said that Noah and the girl would make a pretty smart child in over 0% of cases and that there was about a 1% chance that the child would be more talented than you.โ
The further into the future you look, the harder it is to see, and the more likely you are to be wrong.
Itโs not too early to get married at twelve, but that doesnโt mean you have to have a baby right away.
My child will have to wait at least five more years in order to be born.
There is no such thing as a fortune teller that can predict what will happen in five years, and there is a high probability that it will be wrong.
But still.
โI am extremely fortunate to have such a person.โ
โWell, then I will proceed with the match with the girl.โ
โThank you for your generosity.โ
I bowed one last time, and after confirming that His Majesty had nothing to say, I slowly left the study.
After Noah left, the First Vizier came into the study instead.
โOh, as expected of Noah-sama. Not only did he not know what kind of girl she was, but he also didnโt even ask for her name.โ
โThat is how it is with royalty and princes.โ
โHowever, it is true that there are not many people who can do so. Every boy has some interest in the person who will be his wife. Noah-sama, at his age, is capable of such a thing, which is quite impressive.โ
The First Vizier was impressed, and the Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
Noahโs questioning of the other party there would be an act of disrespect.
Itโs not uncommon for a lord to arrange marriages for his subordinates, even if itโs on a larger scale as the Emperor and the Prince.
And you must always receive the Emperorโs gifts.
Asking for the personโs name and personality can mean refusing, depending on the person.
This is not possible between a nobleman โ the Emperor and the Prince.
โBut not even Noah-sama noticed this.โ
The first vizier smiled happily, his deep wrinkles creasing even more.
โWhen I heard you mention it, it made me snicker. ......โ
โIt was not a bad suggestion.โ
The First Vizier, because he had been a vassal for many years, was rather frank with the emperor โ though only in comparison to others.
And the Emperor does not seem to feel bad about it.
โAah. A blind spot, but certainly a good idea. Grandson, huhโ
โChoose your grandchildren as your successors. A good grandson will ensure prosperity for three generations.โ
The First Vizier repeated what he had said to the Emperor some time ago.
โBut, from which one precisely? A Grandchild who could be my successorโ
โSo far, the only possibility is Noah-sama. If his talents can be passed on to his child.โ
โWell......we can only hope.โ
The emperor and the first vizier continued to stare at the door after Noah had left with serious faces. | ๆฐๆฅๅพใๆผ้ใฎ็ๅฎฎใฎๆธๆใ

After three days of staying at the inn, in the early afternoon, I was going through the political documents from the previous day in my room when there was a knock on the door.
โPeiyu huh, come in.โ
Without lifting my head, I determined from the sound of the knock and presence who it was. As expected, it was Peiyu, who entered the room and bowed to me silently.
โMaster, a guest has arrived.โ
โHmm, who is it?โ
โHe claims to be a retainer of the Eighth Prince.โ
โI see, let him in.โ
โYes.โ
Peiyu bowed once more and left the room with the same atmosphere as when she entered.
I continued with my political work as is. For things that required a detailed response, I first organized my thoughts in my head before writing them down.
There was another knock on the door.
โCome in.โ
Upon my permission, the door opened even more respectfully than when Peiyu entered.
I could tell from the presence that the person who entered knelt near the entrance.
โRio Leo, I am deeply honored to meet you and bow before your divine countenance.โ
โUmu.โ
While nodding, I continued writing.
As there were specific instructions that required me to finish writing for nearly five minutes.
After setting down the pen, I spent another two minutes checking the contents.
After confirming the instructions were correct, I put down my pen and lifted my head.
The man who introduced himself as Rio Leo remained bowing his head.
Heโs breathing heavily with sweat covering his body.
It was clear he had come in a hurry.
โStand up. Did you come in a hurry?โ
โYes. I came by โexpressโ under Oscar-samaโs order.โ
โExpressโ refers to the degree of urgency.
Depending on the importance of the order or document being delivered, the level of urgency would differ.
Roughly speaking, there were two types: โExpressโ and โSpecial Express.โ
This meant using horses to deliver the message quickly, even if it meant exhausting the horse in the process.
โSpecial Expressโ was a level of urgency even higher than โExpress.โ
In this case, human life was not even taken into account. The focus was on speed.
Since human life was not a concern, three sets of people and horses carrying the same document were often sent out simultaneously. If at least one set arrived alive, the mission was considered successful.
Although rarely used, there was also a level higher than โSpecial Expressโ called โSuper Special Express,โ which was only used for emergency military reports.
Oscar had sent his own retainer and it was even by Express.
โLetโs talk calmly. Peiyu, bring a chair for Rio.โ
I called out to the outside of the room. Peiyu brought a chair and placed it beside Rio.
Rio did not sit right away but knelt down again and said,
โThank you for your kindness,โ
Before standing up and sitting down hesitantly with his bottom half on the chair.
This was also a form of etiquette, so thereโs no complaint.
โNow then, what did Oscar say?โ
โHe said that as Minister of Finance, he agrees with the plan,โ
โSo there are opposing views as well?โ
Rio gave a small bow while seated.
โHe said that as a Prince first, he cannot fully agree with the plan.โ
โAnd the reason?โ
โThe exchange tax has been in place for over years and has become a precedent, with many interests involved. If we take it away, it will be difficult to predict the level of backlash from local officials and retired ministers.โ
โRetired ministers? Ah, I see.โ
Rio said, bowing his head solemnly.
As Oscar had said, this was indeed a point of concern.
Apart from the Princeโs retainers, ministers at the level of the Viziers often became examiners for selecting knights and increased their own followers.
It was similar to how I chose Shirley.
And they often send out their protegees as governors.
Then, these followers were often sent out as officials, and they usually paid tribute to the minister who had chosen them.
And where does this money come fromโ most of this tribute came from the exchange tax.
And many of these ministers were family members of some prince...
Empress Audreyโs family, Prince Rai, also has about three viziers among their retainers.
In other words, if the conversation turns to take up the exchange tax, it would inevitably make retired ministers enemies and even possibly turn the Prince behind them into an enemy.
Oscar agrees as the finance minister, but as a Prince, he cannot simply let it go, which is why he replies as such.
โ... Is that all Oscar said?โ
โHuh?โ
โItโs Oscar here, he must have some idea what I would do after hearing the story?โ
โ... As expected of Your Majesty, I am sincerely impressed,โ
Rio said, then got up from his chair, knelt down, and bowed deeply to me.
Then he stood up again, sat back in his chair, and looked straight at me.
โAs you guessed, Oscar-sama said โHis Majesty does not hesitate to touch various customs, so it is unlikely that he will back down for that reason.โ โ
โThatโs right.โ
The first thing I tackled was the marital relationship of the Imperial Princess.
Even if the Imperial Princess married a commoner, her status would be maintained as a custom, and their relationship would become like that of a master and servant.
Even meeting with his wife required applications and permissions, which was not a normal marital relationship, so I abolished it by Imperial decree.
Although it was a custom that had been continuing since the early days of the empire, it was a relationship between a husband and wife that had nothing to do with political affairs.
Furthermore, the situation where men were oppressedโโhusbandsโโwas viewed favorably by the various generations of Princes, and even at worst, their opinion was, โDo as you please,โ so the reform went smoothly.
Originally, I had been thinking of reforming some customs as the Emperor, and I utilized this opportunity that suddenly arose.
As a result, like Oscar, some of the Princes and ministers recognized me as an Emperor who was willing to break with tradition.
โAs expected, this time is the same as well.โ
Even though I was trying to touch the exchange tax, Oscar had predicted that it wouldnโt work, while admonishing me from his position.
โItโs really about human resources...โ
โHuh, what do you mean?โ
โNo, itโs nothing. I understand the conversation. Give a response to Oscar recommending it. Weโll fill in the details once we return to the capital.โ
โ...Iโll just give you the direction.โ
โI receive.โ
Rio stood up again and kneeled before me.
He knelt and was ready to receive my orders.
โFirst, we take it away from the governors. But if we do that alone, there will be a backlash. So, weโll distribute the money from the exchange tax to the governors as a bonus.โ
โ...โ
Rio looked up in surprise.
But he didnโt say anything.
In this situation where the Emperor gave orders to the prince, he was like a carrier pigeon.
Interjecting with oneโs own opinions or words would be considered a disrespectful act.
As a retainer to the Prince, Rio understood this well and was only surprised, without saying anything.
โI understand what you want to say. That itโs pointless to take it away if weโre just going to give it back, and that we might even end up in the red?โ
โ...โ
Rio bowed his head silently.
His response was a silent agreement.
โWe also need some incidental expenses, so weโll raise part of the exchange tax.โ
โ...!โ
โDonโt get distracted, thereโs more. Itโs not to line our own pockets, so weโll raise it just enough to keep it at the same level overall. However, some people will still be unhappy with the fact that itโs going up.โ
Rio bowed his head silently again.
โSo, weโll issue a decree that we wonโt increase the exchange tax permanently.โ
โ!โ
โAt least during my reign, we wonโt increase the exchange tax permanently.โ
Rioโs expression became extremely complex.
It was % surprise and 70% confusion.
โWhatโs bothering you? Iโll allow it, so tell me.โ
โI am grateful for your kindness. Why not propose something instead of raising taxes?โ
โDo you know what the most important thing the country can give to its people is?โ
โUm, money...no, jobs...food, clothing, and shelter, right?โ
โ70 points, not bad.โ
โThank you!โ
โAll of those things combined give hope and expectations.โ
โHope....expectationsโ
โThatโs right. It is the duty of the government, of the rulers, to give people hope and expectations for the future. Money, jobs, food, clothing, and shelter are all included in that hope and expectation for a better life.โ
After a brief pause, I continued.
โPermanently not raising taxes is also part of creating that expectation.โ
โI see...as expected of Your Majesty. I am impressed.โ
โIndeed. Now go tell Oscar about this. Recite the original text to him, heโll be able to draft a good proposal.โ
โYes.โ
Rio bowed once again and then left.
After seeing Rio off, I stood up and looked out the window.
Oscar is capable, he will understand the essence of this discussion.
The essence of this discussion is not only to help the people but also to change the structure and nature of the bureaucracy itself.
We took away the means for officials to line their pockets, but we provided compensation. | ๅฎฟใซๆณใฃ็ตใฃใๆผ้ใใ้จๅฑใงๅใฎๆฅใฎๆฟๅๆๆธใซ็ฎใ้ใใฆใใใจใใใขใใใใฏใใใใ

Even so, if they still try to profit in any way, it wonโt be forgiven.
I have been very accommodating to Oscar.
Aside from the throne, I can give him almost anything he desires.
If he still aims for the throne after all that...
Oscar will surely understand.
โGive up the throne, my brother. That would tarnish our fatherโs name.โ

โDamn it!โ
A man who seemed to be the leader jumped at me, wielding a weapon.
His weapon was a large, thick sword, which, combined with his size, he wielded with ease.
Leviathanโs volley of attacks wounded him, but the wound was minor enough that it didnโt interfere with his movement.
โControl, Livyathan.โ
I restrained Livyathan from shaking with my presence, took it back to its original form, and held it as a sword.
I then used Livyathan to catch the manโs slash.
The sound of sword fights rang out, and sparks flew.
The man was startled momentarily when he saw the sword appear out of thin air.
Just as we were about to engage in a sparring match, the man gritted his teeth and pushed me aside, still competing with me, and came at me with his great sword swinging wildly.
โUh-oh, oriyaaah! You little bastard!โ
He slashed at me several times with such force that it seemed to create a whirlpool of air currents.
I caught and parried them with my leviathan.
The man was not focused solely on slashing.
Sometimes he would thrust his great sword into the ground, causing sand to roll up, or he would aim to distract me by sending spilled blood at me.
โ...... I see, a good boss.โ
โโ!โ
The man is confused and startled by my words.
โStop him Livyathan, just hold his feet.โ
{As you wish.}
Leviathanโs blade shuddered.
It was the same feeling as before, but a far thinner pillar of water โ a needle of water was sent flying all at once.
I stopped all the bandits who were trying to escape while the man was distracting me.
โY-You saw ......โ
The man stopped attacking, glared at me with his arms ready, and twisted face.
โIt was because your movements were unnaturally loud and over the top.โ
โWhen did you give the orders?โ
I asked the man.
To tell the truth, I didnโt realize at first that he was attacking me to get my attention.
It was just after he attacked me. I had never seen a bandit decide to retreat so quickly.
โI didnโt give them any orders.โ
โHou?โ
โLife is the most important thing. I always tell them to run away when things go wrong.โ
โTheyโre not my subordinates, they are my brothers.โ[TN: DOM?]
โFumu.โ
I nodded slightly.
It was a relationship that was difficult for others to understand.
โWhy didnโt you take the girl hostage?โ
I asked again.
Peiyu and Ivy shuddered and stared at the man, holding up their hands in a gesture of reassurance.
โThatโs not the kind of power difference that would help, you knowโ
โFumu, quick assessment of the situation.โ
I looked at the man again.
What he was doing was the wrong thing to do, and it was the wrong way to meet him, but...
The man in front of me is definitely a talent.
I turn my head to Peiyu and instructed looking over my shoulder.
โPeiyu, give me the potion.โ
โEh?โ
โHeal the most severely injured first.โ
Peyre was puzzled for a moment, but still obeyed my order and took a potion out of her baggage.
A newly developed potion, a precious commodity that can even be a strategic supply.
Unlike Livyathanโs water, it was made to be used immediately and carried in physical form.
Peiyu brought it out.
Then, like a senior, she asked Ivy to help her.
Ivy didnโt know what was going on, but she helped Peyre nonetheless.
โT-The wound was healed in an instant. ......!โ
Ivy, seeing the potion for the first time, was astonished.
โThis is something Master made.โ
โHe made it?โ
โYes, isnโt it amazing? It can cure any kind of injury.โ
โThatโs ...... but itโs true ....... Amazing .......โ
Ivy is speechless at the potionโs potency.
And she wasnโt the only one surprised.
Even the bandits who had experienced the instantaneous recovery from injuries with the potion were astonished, and many of them didnโt know what had happened.
On the other hand, the man who was looking at the โwholeโ situation from a distance was surprised but was able to grasp what was going on.
He looked at me with a face that was half surprised and half cautious.
โWhy are you helping me?โ
โBecause you are not a threat.โ
โWhat?โ
โYou decided in an instant that you were no match for me. Then even if I heal everyoneโs wounds, they wonโt attack.โ
โ......โ
โAnd people are treasures. Thereโs no reason to let them die unnecessarily.โ
โItโs a robbery.โ
โThere is no death penalty for banditry. Under Imperial law, no matter how severe the sentence, it canโt even reach life imprisonment for it.โ
In some cases, itโs a few hundred years in prison, but thatโs still a different stage from life imprisonment or the death penalty.
โEven so.โ
The man asks me, still wary.
โThereโs no reason to go to the trouble of fixing it. So why are you doing this?โ
โTo ask a question.โ
โWhat?โ
โYour men โ your brothers, I should say. If I heal their wounds, you will hear me out, wonโt you?โ
โ...... what do you want to know? The weather? Or the location of the nearest oasis?โ
โHa-ha-ha, I see, the weather is worth talking about here.โ
I laughed happily.
From the manโs tone, I felt that โthe weatherโ was not a casual remark.
Itโs true that the weather in this desert, in this poor environment, can be life-or-death information in some cases.
I understood that if he was willing to give it to me, we could talk.
โFirst, why do you do this kind of work?โ
โWhat else is there to do besides make a living?โ
โThereโs no such business that doesnโt need money.โ
It is said that the two oldest professions of mankind are mercenaries and prostitutes.
Men as mercenaries and women as prostitutes.
Both are things that can be done with just oneโs body.
In that sense, it could be said that being a thief or a bandit is a โbusiness that requires no capitalโ that can be done with only oneโs body.
โHave you thought about becoming a mercenary?โ
โYou canโt become a mercenary. Without proper armaments, you canโt even find an employer. Even if you are lucky to find one, you will be a pawn.โ
I nodded and agreed.
I didnโt think of it that way, but it is true that employers usually look at equipment and weapons as part of the force.
In that sense, mercenaries need to have the โoriginal capitalโ if they want to do it right.
However, if you are a bandit, you only need a minimal amount of weapons....... I see.
โIs that all you want to hear?โ
The man said with irritation.
He looked as if he didnโt want to talk about how he ended up as a bandit and a thief.
Well, I guess so.
If it werenโt for a painful past, you wouldnโt have fallen into this line of work.
Especially a man who is as talented as he is.
โNo, thereโs one more thing.โ
โAsk me quickly.โ
โAre you willing to stop being a bandit?โ
โHa!โ
The man snorted.
โIf I could quit, I would have done it by now.โ
โListen to the question carefully. Are you willing to stop being a bandit?โ
โ ......if I could quit, I would have already quit.โ
The man toned down.
It was the same word, but it had a different meaning.
The first time it was meant to be mean and contemptuous, but the second time it was more like an expletive ...... of bitterness .......
โDo you want to join the army?โ
โI ainโt getting in, ...... only guys from decent backgrounds can get in.โ
โNot a problem if you get a good introduction.โ
The guy looked at me.
I stared back at him silently and waited for his reply.
โYou are...... just a .......โ
โThatโs not important. Iโm asking you your intentions.โ
The manโs demeanor softened considerably.
He looked at his โbrothersโ around him.
The ones who had been cured by the potion had the same look of bewilderment on their faces as the man.
And the man turned to me.
โB-But. Weโve already been tagged and known to do this kind of thing.โ
โThatโs not a big deal. Tell me honestly, how many people have you killed?โ
โK-killed ...... um not more than ten...โ
โAs a group?โ
โThen itโs easy to talk. Thatโs years of imprisonment or three years in the military, respectively, for that number.โ
Under imperial law, the military sentence is often one-tenth of the imprisonment sentence, although it depends on the amount of punishment.
There are several reasons.
First, the empire is a โnation of warriors,โ constantly at war with smaller neighboring countries that need to replenish their ranks.
Then there is the idea that if a person can be made a soldier with a military sentence and survive for several years, it is better to promote him to a soldier or general rather than as a prisoner. | ใใใใใใใใ!ใ

In the first place, some believe that since soldiers are โexpendableโ and will die soon, the length of the military sentence does not mean much.
Having worked for both the Department of Military Affairs and the Department of Justice, I understand this very well.
โIf you get a military sentence, you can legally serve in the military.โ
โWell, itโs not decided that it will be done.โ
โThatโs why Iโm introducing you.โ
โโ!โ
He looked at me.
โWho the... hell are you ......?โ
โLetโs just say Iโm someone whoโs in a position to make sure youโre sent to the military.โ
โCan you really ...... do that?โ
โDonโt be fooled, brother! Thatโs just an attempt to screw us over!
โThatโs right, thatโs right! Theyโre trying to trick us and throw us in jail!โ
His men shouted at the wavering man.
Hearing this, the man sighed weakly.
โWhy would a man who could annihilate us here need to go through such a roundabout process?โ
โUuh. .......โ
โT-Thatโs .......โ
Everyone fell silent at the manโs point.
He looked at me again.
โIs it really ......?โ
โPeiyu.โ
โYes!โ
Peiyu pulled out a piece of paper, a pen, and a small board from the luggage.
She took the board and stood in front of me, using it as a makeshift desk.
I took the pen and began to scribble a few sentences on the paper.
โYes.โ
I took it and marked the end of the paper, near my signature.
After reading the text one last time, I handed it to the man who looked at me blankly.
โTake this to the governor or the secretary of state, and donโt make it any worse.โ
โ...... you.โ
โIโve paved the way for you, now itโs up to you to do your best.โ
โ ......Thank you, I appreciate it.โ
The man bowed deeply and clutched the letter I gave him carefully.
After the men left, Peiyu asked me.
โWas it all right, Master, to let them go?โ
โThey are effectively turning themselves in, it wonโt be a problem.โ
โBut they are going into the army. If they did the same thing in the military, they would have ......โ
I understand what Peiyu is trying to say.
That is because the military also has an image of looting.
โNo problem.โ
โN-No problem, is that sure?โ
โThatโs right. If a civilian kills someone for banditry, they are only imprisoned, but for unauthorized looting, the minimum penalty is death according to military law.โ
Military law imposes heavier penalties than the common law in order to maintain discipline in the army.
Of course, it is not only about the punishment, but also thereโs a candy that says โdefeat the place and you are allowed to loot for a few daysโ which is added when going to war, but there is no need to tell that to her now.
โI just laid out the path for him. What happens from there is up to him.โ
โI see. ...... Thatโs as expected of you, Master. Although the form is different, it is the same as mine, isnโt it?โ
โYes, it is.โ
I took Peiyu in as a retainer and protected her.
The men were taken in and protected by the nation.
The form is a little different, but it is essentially the same thing.
I was a little happy to know that Peiyu is also a smart woman who understood this.
Ivy was trembling.
She couldnโt understand what Noah had done at all.
Why would he not punish the bandit, but instead heal them, release them, and to top it off, offer them a job?
She couldnโt understand it.
People fear what they do not understand.
Ivy was still at that stage where she couldnโt understand Noah and was afraid of him.
โ......โ
At the same time, she began to be more curious about Noah than before. | ใใใใใๅ

The next day, I came alone to the Leararat government office.
A government building is a public administrative agency of a town and is usually the place where the lord or governor who governs the town resides.
Standing on the main street, look up at the government building.
Itโs a three-story building at most, but itโs an unfamiliar-style building.
โ... the royal palace, huh?โ
That kind of impression popped up in my head.
Itโs a style Iโve never seen before, but itโs the decorations on the exterior, the construction of the gate, and the positional relationship with the city.
Everything met the requirements of the so-called royal palace.
โSeems like they had a lot of fun.โ
I chuckled.
It is not unusual for a deputy or governor posted to a frontier region to wield power like a king in that region.
Even if they hold the same official position, if they are in the capital, they are just mid-level officials, but if they are in the frontier, they become high-ranking officials from the capital.
Therefore, it is common to hear people say that they would rather stay as a low-ranking official on the frontier, even if their official position is lower than rise to the top and enter the center of the empire.
Some of them even bribe the inspector-general who oversees their political performance so that they will stay in office.
In that sense, the barren and remote area of Saralira would have been an easy place to do such a thing, I thought as I looked at the palace-like building in front of me.
Well, thatโs not important now.
I started walking again and came to the gate guard guarding the main gate.
Usually, these gatekeepers are a pair of two people, standing on either side of the double-opening gate.
This place was no exception, with an elderly man and a young man serving as the guards.
When they saw me approaching, the young gatekeeper held up his spear, another standard weapon, and thrust the tip of the spear toward me.
โStop! Who are you?โ
โI am this.โ
It was not worth the time to argue with the gatekeeper, so.
I released Livyathanโs power and displayed the crest on my back.
It is my crest, designed after the ship.
It was a technique I had developed when I had Leviathan.
I will use my most loyal and mag dog, Livyathanโs power to intimidate along with the crest.
โโHah-hahโโโ
Two of the gatekeepers dropped their spears at the same time and knelt on the spot.
Some of the people who happened to be passing by also kneeled.
With this pressure, it will make them know that I am the Emperor.
โLetโs go inside. Who is the head of this place?โ
โY-yes! The governor is here.โ
โI understand.โ
With a nod, I leave the two gatekeepers in their place and enter the government building.
Once inside, I encounter various people, but because of Livyathanโs continued intimidation, everyone I meet instantly kneels down to me.
I learned from the kneeling people where the Governorโs office was and came to it on the top floor of the building.
I didnโt knock, but pushed the door open and went in.
In the government office, furnished as luxuriously as the Emperorโs office, a man was sitting at a desk with his legs propped up on the desk, sipping from his cup.
โWho is it? Canโt you at least knock?โ
โIs that all right?โ
I knocked on the open door.
The man looked at me with a sour expressionโ- then.
โY-Your Majesty!?โ
Startled, he fell off his chair.
The cup fell to the floor and broke, splashing amber liquid on the manโs body.
The man crawled across the floor, came in front of me, and bowed again and again on all fours.
โY-Your Majesty, I am very sorry, I didnโt know you were coming...โ
โGood. ...... you know my face, donโt you?โ
I said this and retracted Livyathanโs crest.
Revealing my identity with my crest versus the reaction of someone who has known me from the beginning.
The reaction was slightly different, and the man in front of me, the governor of Saralaria, was the one who knew my face.
โYes! I have seen you once at the Imperial Princeโs residence in the capital.โ
โHou? What is your name?โ
โY-Yellow Cake, sire.โ
โCake? Are you related to Rice?โ
โYes, Rice is my brother.โ
โI see. So you must be one of Henryโs retainers, huh.โ
โNo, Iโm a retainer of His Highness the Eighth.โ
โ.......Houโ
Interesting, I thought.
Rice cake.
Heโs the retainer of the fourth prince, Henry.
When I was years old, I met him when I was working with Henry in the Ministry of War. He was a tough soldier, but at the same time, he was a strong military commander, and he used his skills to successfully organize his troops and achieve success in war.
I thought that since he was Riceโs older brother, he was also Henryโs retainer, but he said that he was Oscarโs retainer.
โIt is unusual for two brothers to serve different Princes. Is there a reason for that?โ
โT-Thatโs.......โ
Yellow looked away awkwardly.
He averted his eyes and glanced at me.
Is this something that would be awkward for you to tell me?
......Ahh.
โEh?โ
โThe brothers will each serve a different Prince, and whichever one ascends to the throne, the house of Rice will be protected.โ
โWell, thatโs .......โ
โHahaha, good. You could not have imagined that I, the thirteenth prince, would ascend to the throne. I can understand why you did not send your family to me.โ
โA-apologies. ......โ
โFuh.โ
I smiled faintly and sat down in the chair that Yellow had been sitting in a moment ago.
I looked at him over the table.
โStand up, I need to talk to you.โ
Yellow stood up as I had ordered.
โI have a few things to do. First, is there a death row inmate here in Leararat?โ
โA death-row inmate..... sire?โ
โYeah. A death row inmate awaiting execution who did not reach an immediate decision.โ
I asked Yellow.
What I thought last night was that I was going to use a death row inmate who had been convicted of rebellion or something like that, and whose whole family had been sentenced to death, but then I thought about it and remembered that most such cases are decided immediately, and none of them exist in the Imperial Capital at the moment.
I had no choice but to switch to a policy of procuring death row inmates in the vicinity, and here we are.
โSome of them are at .......โ
โI see. Is there anyone on false charge and substitution?โ
โEh?โ
โIโm the Minister of Justice. I know how this works. Do you have a substitute who is paid for?โ
โT-thatโs ...... no it shouldnโt beโno, itโs not. Tomorrow...โ
Yellow spouted off a lot of words but then stopped talking.
โCalm down, Iโm not here to question you about your sins.โ
โDo you think I, the Emperor, would come all the way here for something as trivial as that?โ
โAh, .......โ
He was taken aback in a different way, and his expression was a little relieved.
In the first place, the substitution attendance and execution, of such things will not disappear forever.
That kind of thing happens when there is a certain amount of wealth and power.
It is confirmed in a book written about years ago that when a master has done something wrong, someone is forced to substitute himself for the master with the promise that after the sentence is over he will do something about it.
It is a fact that exists and will never disappear.
There is no time to waste on something that cannot be eradicated.
โIโm just asking if there is anyone on false charges or scapegoats among those on death row.โ
โThere are...... some.โ
โBut not all of them?โ
โYes.โ
โThen Iโll use the proper death row inmates.โ
โB-By your will. Then, how will you use them......?.โ
โUmu.โ
I nodded and decided to tell Yellow about the dragon vein revitalization, picking up only the practical details.
After putting it all together in my head, I was about to open my mouthโthen.
โGovernor-sama! Thereโs a serious, very serious situation!โ
A middle-aged man jumped in, almost smashing through the door of the room.
Yellow glared angrily at the one who jumped in.
โYouโre being noisy! I donโt know whatโs going on, but back off! Iโll hear you later!โ
โThatโs not it, sire! Itโs an express letter from the capital!โ
โWhat!?โ
Umu?
Yellow took the document from the man.
He waved his hand and let the man go.
When we were alone again, Yellow asked me.
โMay I read it, Your Majesty?โ
โYeah, itโs an express, check the content without concern for me.โ
Yellow reverently bent down and opened the express document.
โWhat is it?โ
Yellow looked up and stared at me.
โIt is an urgent matter, and I have been asked to find His Majesty in Saralaria and give him the enclosed document.โ
With that, he showed me a smaller envelope enclosed in the document he had mentioned.
โLet me see it.โ
Yellow held out the envelope with both hands. | ๆฌกใฎๆฅใไฟบใฏๅ่บซใงใฌใขใฉใฉใใฎๅบ่ใซใใฃใฆใใใ

I took it, opened it, and read what was inside.
Then โ to my surprise.
It was a letter from Henry.
The content was simple.
Rebellion has broken out and the Imperial Army has been defeated.
That was all that was written.
With a clatter, I knocked over the chair and stood up.
โY-Your Majesty?โ
โ......, itโs nothing.โ
I took a deep breath and sat back in my chair.
Calm down, I told myself.
Itโs important, undeniably important.
But โ itโs not an emergency.
From the place of the rebellion to the Imperial Capital.
And from there to Leararat.
Both would take about seven days to reach here, even with express service.
In other words, the defeat itself happened seven days ago.
Itโs important, but ...... depending on the case, itโs a situation that canโt be rushed.
I took another deep breath.
I told myself to regain my composure as an emperor.
And then I thought.
What I should do now and what I should do in the future.
โYellow.โ
โYes!โ
โPrepare a horse for the super-express, ahead of time.โ
โBy your will!!โ
โI have some decrees. Get a pen and paper ready.โ
โBy your will!โ
โAnd Iโm leaving a man here to serve as my personal representative.โ
โBy your willโeh?โ
The super-express for the limited express.
As a man who had risen to the rank of governor, Yellow understood the urgency of the situation, even if he didnโt know the details.[TN: Should I have used viceroy from the beginning instead of the governor?]
So he responded to my orders each time, remembering them by the gesture of writing something in the palm of his hand, but he froze at the last word.
โLeaving ......? Where is His Majesty going?โ
โWith that super-express service, I am going back to Imperial Capital.โ
Yellow was astonished.
The super express service is a service that does not guarantee the lives of either man or horse. | ใคใจใญใผใฏไธกๆใงๅฐๆธใๅทฎใใ ใใใ

The th prince from the Land of Warriors
After patting my head for a while, His Majesty looked at the demon sword at my waist.
โSo thatโs Leviathan now, I see, it really has shrunk.โ
From the way His Majesty spoke, it seems that the Leviathanโs shrinking was also a source of information.
That means thereโs someone in my mansion who delivers information to His Majesty in a timely manner.
I guess thatโs only natural.
โ Noah.โ
โYesโ
โCan you make it big again?โ
I know His Majesty would have heard the words, but the Leviathan didnโt answer until I asked it in person.
I thought it was more and more of a loyal dog, and reported the reply directly to His Majesty.
โIt appears that I can do it,โ
โShow me.โ
I pulled out the Leviathan and thrust it to the ground.
I put my hand on the top of the hilt and reminded Leviathan to be bigger.
Then the Leviathan grew steadily.
It went from a length appropriate for my six year old body to one that was easy for an adult to wield when I first met it.
โOh....โ
His Majesty marveled at the changes that took place before his eyes.
โI see, it is indeed unheard of. Besides,โ
โ?โ
โItโs perfectly accurate, isnโt it, the Demon Sword Leviathan? Considering the abominable history of this, I have to say, itโs amazing.โ
Abominable history, huh?
Well, Iโm well aware of this guyโs mad dog nature.
If I hadnโt been there to stop it, the man who spoke uselessly at the party invited by the third vizier, Reydok, might very well have killed the man-or worse, all the people present.
I was convinced that if there was no one to stop the Leviathan, then surely โabominable historyโ would be made one after another.
โOkay.โ
I nod and put the leviathan back around my waist, sizing it up for my own use.
โIt looks good on you, too. Yes, I need to get Noah a master.โ
โA master?โ
โHeโs a master of swordsmanship. Youโd better learn the art of wielding the Demon Sword. Cruz.โ
When His Majesty called out, the gutted eunuch, where he had been until then, appeared without a sound.
โGo get Noble, right now.
Cruz took his orders and left without further ado.
I waited in the garden, making small talk with His Majesty in the garden.
About twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man in knightโs armor arrived.
The man dropped to one knee before father.
โDamien Noble, I am honored to serve you.โ
โMm, good to see you. I need you to do something for me.โ
โYou know Noah. I want you to teach him to use a sword.โ
โYes!, Iโll do my best.โ
At the command, Damien stood up and turned to me.
He bowed his head to me to the point of a bailout, whereas he kneeled to His Majesty.
โMy name is Damien Noble and I have been appointed to be your highnessโ instructor. Henceforth, I hope that you will be familiar with me.โ
โNoble is the best swordsman in the Empire and is claimed to be unmatched in swordplay.โ
Damien bowed his head lightly as he said that.
Iโm not sure if heโs happy or not, he puts on a stern face.
Maybe thatโs always been the case, but His Majesty didnโt mind it either.
โBe encouraged under Noble.โ
โLetโs get right to it, Your Highness. Let us see what you have to offer.โ
Damien drew the sword from his waist and pointed the cutting edge at me.
His Majesty was surprised by this, as expected.
โHeโs a child who hasnโt been taught anything yet.โ
โ Rest assured, I am not looking for skills, just character.โ
โHmm.โ
His Majesty was easily convinced.
I didnโt know if he could be convinced so easily, but maybe that was his faith in โthe best in the Empireโ.
โYou can come slashing at me from anywhere.โ
I pulled out my leviathan and slashed at Damien.
My slash, swinging down from directly above, and Damien took a stance to catch it, holding his sword horizontally.
Keen!
Right after a light metallic sound.
โ...eh...โ
Damien was astonished.
The sword he had held just a moment ago flew in the opposite direction, whirling around and stabbing into the ground.
My slash, which I haphazardly swung down, wrapped around and twisted just as it struck Damienโs sword.
The sword blade wrapped around each other as if it were sucking, and Damien, whose wrist bent in a way it shouldnโt if he held it as it was, couldnโt help but let go of the sword.
The sword flew far away from me with the momentum of being wound up.
Damien stared at me dumbfounded, looked at his sword stuck in the distance and looked up at the heavens.
And finally, he turned to His Majesty and got down on one knee.
โIโm sorry, Your Majesty. I have nothing to teach His Highness.โ
โWhat is this all about? You gotta help me understand.โ
โ His Highnessโs strength and speed, they are all of a childโs nature, but his sword skills have already reached the level of a master.โ
โMastery?โ
โThe one before, he hoisted the sword from me with only the right technique.โ
โ....โ
โI canโt teach you anything. Iโve lost.โ
โ...Oh.โ
As expected of His Majesty, he was pouting for a moment, or even ten seconds, unable to swallow the situation, but when he came back to himself, he looked happier than before.
โWell, ha-ha-ha. Youโre doing great, Noah, thatโs great, Noah.โ
โHa! You are indeed His Majestyโs son.โ
โHahahahahahaha!โ
His Majesty looked extremely happy and smiled broadly to the heavens.
โGood, good. Thatโs right!โ
His Majesty clapped his hands as if he remembered something.
โThis yearโs knight selection, letโs have Noah be the main selection officer.
I could not have picked a better person.โ
Damien agreed with His Majesty.
The knight selection, itโs the big annual event of the Empire.
Now, the term Empire on earth means our Empire, and although no one calls it that anymore, the official name was originally โMeeres Empireโ.
Meeres is an old word for warrior, or the Empire of Meeres means โLand of Warriorsโ.
The empire has a tradition of valuing the warrior, and it is even said that warriorship is the only way to get up and running on merit.
This is determined by the annual selection of knights.
People who have won from all over the empire fight to the death in the imperial capital, and the winner is given the title of knight and at once joins the upper class.
He wants me to be that selector.
I thought about it for a moment.
This is very, very convenient for me.
The reason being, the knight who wins in the end is the first to become the selectorโs subordinate at that time.
I looked at the status out of the corner of my eye, a status I normally donโt pay much attention to.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Araratth Prince of Ararat Empire
Gender: male
Level: /โ
HPFMPFStrengthF+FStaminaF+FIntelligenceFSpiritFSpeedFDexterityF+FLuckF+F FireFWater
E+SSWindFEarthFLight FDarknessF
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
For some reason, I have a unique โ+โ ability that other people donโt have.
It depends on my subordinates, the people in my domain, to build it up.
In other words, if I have strong subordinates, I will become strong myself.
The knight selector is a welcome decree.
I stepped forward and got down on one knee.
โAs you wish, I will faithfully execute the selectorโs duty.โ
โHmm. Then we should make one quick decision. What kind of selection will Noah make?โ
His Majestyโs question. This is another right of the selectors.
Since the last person to be selected is to be your subordinate, you have the right to decide how the selection process is conducted.
For example, in a league and a tournament, the tendency of the people who survive to the end is completely different.
Itโs nothing, because I want the stronger person.
โ Just one.โ
โYeah, say it.โ
โI want all the qualifiers from all over the Empire in the Imperial City. I want it done right in front of me.โ
โWhat? Why is that?โ
โI donโt want to miss out on any talent. I want to see everything for myself and decide for myself.โ
The empire is big, and with a big event like this, I canโt completely control it at the local qualifying level.
It would be a shame if there was someone there who was worthy of being under my command and they were dropped for something weird.
So I wanted to see the whole thing with my own eyes.
โOh, ooooh,โ
โYour Majesty.โ
Turning to His Majesty, who was looking up to the heavens in ecstasy, Damien explained.

โRight, whatโs this guyโs problem? Get him to tell us why he attacked us.โ
Oscar told his men.
So I looked into the face of the man who was subdued โ and I said.
โItโs you.โ
โDo you know him, Noah?โ
What a surprise, it was that debt collector who attacked me.
I looked around, and I didnโt see the guys who were on their knees in front of the th Princeโs residence.
I told him about the series of things that started with Alice.
โYeah, itโs totally counterproductive.โ
โFuck you! Hey, let go of me!โ
โToo loud.. Letโs remove that jaw.โ
โHa!โ
At Oscarโs command, the gent removes the debt collectorโs jaw with an extremely expert hand.
Cleverly, not your average Joe.
Well, I donโt care about this guy.
More importantly, itโs the armor linked to the Leviathan.
Oscar marveled at how well he was using it, but Iโm still not sure if he really is.
Iโd like to try it out some more.
I look up at Oscar.
โโBrother, could I ask you to do one thing for me?โ
โYes, please speak up.โ
โIโd like to see how well I can handle this armor. Since brother has expert magicians with him, can you help me with this one?
โItโs no problem. What do you want to do?โ
โUm, .......โ
I told Oscar what I was thinking.
Oscar listened to the end of it in silence, and then smiled with a snicker.
โThen letโs get on with it.โ
โYeah. Iโd like to see how it works, wouldnโt it be more informative to do it yourself?โ
โOkay. Well, then, letโs go inside my house.โ
โYup.โ
Nodding, I entered the mansion with Oscar.
Just before we left the place, Oscar gave a look to the man, the debt collector was being taken somewhere.
He attacked a prince, and heโs going to get the punishment he deserves.
We didnโt enter the mansion building, but rather came to the yard.
Then we face each other and get about ten meters away from each other.
โLetโs go.โ
Nodding, Oscar began to chant a spell.
A magic circle was spread out at his feet, and his aristocratic clothes fluttered with the rising magic power.
Immediately afterwards, many flaming arrows flew in unison.
One, two, three โ seventeen in all.
Seventeen flame arrows flew in and scattered all at once a few meters in front of me, and then they attacked me in the entire perimeter.
I didnโt move, I was standing in a state of peace.
The flame arrows that flew at me were blocked by a shield that was transformed by the ring from the Leviathan Link.
There were seventeen arrows and seventeen shields that were put out around me.
All of the seventeen arrows that Oscar shot at me were exactly blocked by all of them.
โHaha ...... thatโs amazing. Noah was the first person to prevent this so perfectly.โ
โIs that so?โ
โYeah, Iโm still working out on this one. Wow, thatโs amazing, Noah. Iโd love to show this to His Majesty.โ
I nodded at the excited Oscar.
โ I suppose Iโll have to figure it out a bit more.โ
โWhy?โ
โIf I show it to His Majesty, he will surely ask me โhow it happenedโ. If you canโt explain your power to him then, then whatโs the point?โ
โI see. Clever Noah, I didnโt know you could think that far ahead.โ
I smiled back at Oscar.
Iโve been thinking a lot about making this ability more my own.
The next day, for a change of pace, I went out to the store where Alice is.
I figured that the debt collector would no longer be able to recover, and if Arice was still worried about it, Iโd tell her and reassure her.
So I went to the store with that in mind.
And, there Alice was just singing along.
I didnโt want to interrupt her singing, I gave the clerk ten reeks, including the tip, and took the best seat to listen to her sing.
Yeah, I knew it.
The more she sings, the more she will grow. Definitely, sheโll grow.
I was quietly listening to Aliceโs song, thinking that Iโm looking forward to the future.
When the song ended, Alice caught her breath.
There are a few guests here and there who throw a treat in between acts.
In the midst of this, one of the guests approaches the stage with a dazed step.
โYo sis, that was a good song, see, hereโs your reward.โ
โThank you very much.โ
โCome over here and pour me a drink.โ
โIโm sorry, thatโs not what I meantโโ
Alice was used to this kind of drunk, though she tried to refuse without changing her face.
โAhn, back off, you. I had my eye on this woman first.โ
Another drunk appeared from the other side.
โShut up. Iโm going first.โ
โYou shut up and get in there.โ
Two drunks, fighting Alice while imposing their own rules.
Alice looked troubled.
โYou fucking did it!โ
The two men grew more and more heated, each clenching their fists and hitting the other.
Gogon.
There were two dull noises in rapid succession.
โgaaah!โ
They held their fists that they swung and were in pain.
Between the two of them โ I was the one who had interrupted them.
At this rate, blood will be seen.
I donโt care what happens to these two, but it would be disgusting for Alice to see it involved.
So I interrupted, between their punches.
Then Leviathan reacts and pulls out two shields from the linked ring to block the punches.
The drunkards punched the iron shields as hard as they could, holding their hands and screaming in agony.
โWhat the hell!โ
I silently pulled out my leviathan and slashed them both.
In the next moment, their clothes were torn apart and they were completely naked.
โN,Noooo.โ
โHiiii!โ
The men turned pale and ran away screaming, having only their clothes torn off in an instant.
I held back, I just didnโt want to spill blood in front of Alice.
Threatening them with Leviathan was fine, but if I โbeatโ them with it, it might not necessarily have a negative effect on Aliceโs mind.
So this is how I had them comically exit the scene.
โWhat the hell was that, that was some amazing swordplay!โ
โThatโs the prince himself. Huh. ...... As expected of the prince, his swordsmanship is also top-notch.โ
The atmosphere was buzzing around me, but the fact that I had stripped and chased them away in a mop, kept the atmosphere peaceful.
I turned to Alice.
โAre you okay?โ
I asked her.
โYes ...... thank you so much.โ
โHm. Hey, owner.โ
โYes, sir! Excuse me, my lord.โ
The owner, who had been watching the course of events at a distance, came running up to me in a hurry โ so hurriedly that his foot hit the table.
โFrom now on, donโt let customers like that in.โ
โAnd yet, this is the kind of customer base that sustains our shop. Weโre in the business of...โ
โOkay, thatโ s fine. Iโll buy the whole store, then.โ
โโ-Eh?โ
The owner is surprised. I pull the money Iโm carrying around in my pocket and give it to him.
โIโve got a thousand liens, Iโll buy the whole shop, so donโt let that happen again.โ
โYes, sir! Thank you!โ
The shopkeeper bowed his head over and over again as he held the money he had received high.
โThat ...... your highness.โ
โWhatโs the matter with you, Alice, you donโt look so happy.โ
โI donโt know how I can ever repay you for all youโve done for me.โ
โJust keep singing.โ
I answered immediately.
โAll I want from you is a song. All you have to do is sing.โ
โ Just keep singing, Yesโ
โYeah, Iโm counting on it. I hope His Majesty will eventually hear it, and in the meantime, devote yourself to it.โ
โYes ......โ
Aliceโs eyes welled up with emotion and her cheeks dyed.
โUm, Your Highness ......?โ
โ Another song, if you would?โ
โYes, sing.โ
With a smile, I nodded and went back to my seat at the back of the room.
Waiting for me to sit down, Alice gave a beaming smile, then touched the strings of her harp and started to sing again.
โMmm ......โ
It was clearly different from the start.
As she started to sing, it was more and more pronounced.
Aliceโs song enveloped the restaurant.
Me and the rest of the customers.
All of us fell in love with Aliceโs song.
It was a clear departure from Aliceโs previous songs.
Itโs as if she grew โ or evolved โ in an instant.
I knew she had talent, so it makes sense that she would get better.
However, why all of a sudden?
The end of the song came as I was mysteriously listening to the song.
A moment later, there was a thunderous applause.
All the guests who had witnessed Aliceโs hatching stood up and gave generous applause.
โReally, I wonder what that means,โ
โI think it was His Highness.โ | ใใใใ ใใชใใ ใใฎ็ทใฏใใชใ่ฅฒใฃใฆใใใฎใใๅใใใใ

โHmm?โ
Someone speaks to me from the side and I turn around.
I know that face, I thinkโ
โByron, huh?โ
It was that merchant I met at the Third Vizierโs party, Byron.
Byron gave him a respectful look.
โWhy are you here ...... or more importantly, what do you call it my help?โ
โYour Highness made her evolve the way she did. I thought the girl had grown out of her shell to respond to His Highness.โ
โIs that possible?โ
โA rare occurrence. But that makes you, your Highness a great person indeed.โ
โRight. Is that going to last?โ
โAs long as you keep your eye on her, Your Highness.โ
Byron assured me.

The royal palace, audience hall.
Before me on the throne, there were two princes.
The Fourth Prince, Henry Ararat.
The Eighth Prince, Oscar Ararat.
They walked into the audience hall, positioned themselves in place, and knelt down to me in a fluid motion.
โYou vassal, Oscar.โ
โAnd Henry. We have answered your summons.โ
โBoth of you, please raise your heads.โ
โYes.โ
โAs you command.โ
They nodded and stood up as they were told.
When I called their names, Henry remained calm and Oscar wrinkled his brow for a moment.
And, they responded in unison.
โIโve asked you both to come here today for one simple reason. I wanted to give you both something for the moment.โ
โFor the moment?โ
Henry tilted his head slightly and asked.
โYes, for the moment. My reign is about, to begin with, many measures. But before that, itโs time to do something that hasnโt been done yet.โ
I told them both the premise first.
Both Henry and Oscar looked at me as if they were having trouble understanding me.
โSir Reydok.โ
A young eunuch appeared at the beck of Jean Brad Reydouk, who had been waiting nearby and had just been promoted to First Vizier.
In each of the eunuchโs hands was a tray of some sort, with something long on top of the tray, but there was also a red cloth over it, so it was hard to tell what was on it.
Both eunuchs took it and stood in front of Henry and Oscar respectively.
Then I nodded to Jean and he looked at the eunuch.
The red cloth was removed.
Two long swords made of glass were revealed.
โT-This is!โ
โCrystal Swords ......โ
Henry and Oscar were so startled that their faces flushed red.
โYes, the crystal sword. Otherwise known as โThe Sword of Immunityโ.
The emperor can completely ignore the laws of the empire if he wants to.
This is because the Emperor holds the highest power in the empire, and the empire is his domain.
The Crystal Sword is a gift from the Emperor to his subjects.
โAs you know, a person who possesses this sword can be exempted from any single crime, except treason. Even death penalty.โ
โGiving this to us ......?โ
Oscarโs brows creased in surprise as he looked at me in disbelief.
Itโs just as well.
This is one of the greatest gifts that can be given to a vassal, even exempt from death charges.
โYes, for both of you.
โItโs a great honor, but why us?โ
Henry asked back with a straight face.
โ Among the nearly twenty sons of His Majesty the Emperor, Henry, and Oscar. They are the most capable. In my reign, I hope to be able to rely heavily on them.โ
โThat is what a vassal is supposed to โ-.โ
โDepending on political matters, we may come into conflict.โ
I interrupted Henry.
โThe Sword of Immunity is an expression of my desire that you do so without fear of disrespect.โ
โ......โ
โWill you accept?โ
The two exchanged glances, then knelt down again.
โโEven if it costs me my life.โโ
They accepted.
Afterward, they received the crystal sword and left the audience hall.
โVery good, Your Majesty.โ
Jean, who remained behind, said with impressed eyes.
โOscar-sama had an impressed look in his eyes. Henry-sama seemed unconcerned, but his hand was trembling slightly as he accepted the crystal sword.โ
โYouโre watching closely.โ
โThis is the biggest reward of all. Now Your Highnesses will work their hearts out for you.โ
Henry, and Oscar.
In the future, if anybody is going to do anything to the throne, it will be these two.
Before that happens, Iโll have to convince them deep down to stay as my vassals.
In the evening, in the study of the detached palace.
The former residence of the th Prince, near the Royal Palace.
After becoming the Emperor and until the construction of the new palace is finished.
The palace was given to the Emperor, and I was to sleep and eat in the detached palace that was converted from the Thirteenth Princeโs residence.
In the study, I was looking over some documents related to political affairs.
โYour Majesty.โ
With a voice, the eunuch Gran came in.
โWhat happened โ your clothes look good on you.โ
โEh? Ah, Thank you, Your Majesty.โ
Gran smiled embarrassed.
Two appointments were made at about the same time I became Emperor.
The first was to make Jean the First Vizier and the second was to make Gran the head eunuch.
Just as my father had Curuz, I needed a confidant.
Gran has a good memory and can think from my point of view, so I decided to take him up first.
He had changed his clothes, signifying that he was the head eunuch.
โI never thought Iโd be in such a great position.โ
โIf you serve me properly, Iโll even let you move up the ladder.โ
โYes!โ
โSo, what is it?โ
โAh, thatโs right. Here.โ
Gran said and held out in front of me the tray that he had been holding so carefully since he came into the study.
There were two elaborate dolls on the tray, placed face down.
On their backs were written the names of Audrey and Anya, respectively.
Empress Audrey, and Concubine Anya.
โPlease select your lady for the night session today.โ
โHmm.โ
This is one of the several changes that have occurred since I became Emperor.
Every night, a eunuch would come to ask me who my โcompanion for the nightโ would be.
The eunuchs would present the dolls of the โavailableโ consorts, and the Emperor would turn over the one he liked and lay it on its back.
The eunuchs would then wrap the naked partner in a screen (with a very expensive cloth) and deliver it to the emperorโs room.
This is a systematic way of saying that the most important job of the emperor is to create an heir.
Incidentally, the Household Ministry keeps a record of the partners chosen each night.
I was surprised to find out that my father, at his age, is still doing this โevery nightโ.
That would be so considering that I have nearly brothers and a hundred sisters.
By the way, it is common to find that there are few men.
The reason why there are so few males is common knowledge because many males who have the right to inherit the emperorโs throne โsomehowโ die prematurely.
Regardless of that.
I glanced at the doll.
โNot today. I want the two of them to get some rest.โ
โIs that okay!?โ
Gran was surprised.
โWhat, did one of them give you a reward and ask you to recommend them?โ
โ No sir, of course not!โ
Gran panicked but firmly denied it.
Well, thatโs just the way it is sometimes.
Eunuchs are often paid by the consort to place dolls in positions where they can be easily seen, or to remove the dolls of rivals in the first place.
Women have the things of the month, and of course, they canโt be good every day, so itโs easy to do such tricks.
โFuu, I was joking.โ
โYeah, this is more important right now.โ
I pointed to a document in my hand that I had been looking at before Gran walked in.
โThis is......?โ
โKnight selection. When a new Emperor ascends to the throne, itโs tradition to have a big ceremony.โ
Itโs a tradition that dates back to the time when we were a Warrior Nation.
The Emperor of the Warrior Nation often goes on friendly campaigns and sometimes dies on the battlefield.
When the Emperor dies, it means that many of his men also perish.
Therefore, a large number of new knights have to be chosen for the new Emperor โ a tradition leftover from the times.
People are treasures and potential.
The largest selection of knights canโt be done haphazardly.
โYou prioritize work over night thing. ...... As expected, Your Majesty.โ
โThatโs why not tonight. And brew me a nice strong cup of tea.โ
โI understand!โ
Incidentally, if I wanted to, I could call the consort who had been wrapped up in a mattress here, return her โ when I was done โ and resume my political duties directly.
I heard that my father used to do that a lot.
A few days later, a large hall in the royal palace.
It was almost the same as the audience hall, only the throne in the middle was as high as a normal two-story building.
Itโs a room used when you want to emphasize your authority, not purely for business.
I slowly walked up the stairs to the throne, reached the top, and turned around.
At the same time, more than a thousand people, including Henry and Oscar, all knelt down at once.
Starting with the two people at the front, the kneeling spread out like ripples on the water.
Over a thousand people kneeled to one person.
An inexplicable feeling of elation welled up in my chest.
This is what nobility โ no.
This is the kind of excitement that only the Emperor is allowed to enjoy. | ็ๅฎฎใ่ฌ่ฆใฎๅบ้ใ

Byronโs subordinates and my maid.
After they left the room with the gold coins in the box, Byron and I stayed behind.
We faced each other again.
Byron cleared his throat and his expression changed.
He had a different expression on his face than before.
โI have a ...... request for you, Your Highness.โ
โHmm? What is it?โ
โItโs about Cindy.โ
โIs there something about her?โ
And whatโs with the look on Byronโs face?
I have never seen him look like this. Whatโs going on?
โItโs about her marriage.โ
โI see. I believe Cindy is going to be ......โ
โSheโll be this year.โ
โUmu, right.โ
She was ten when I met her.
Four years older than me โ well, itโs been almost ten years since we met.
โItโs about time, and itโs good that she grew up smart, but what about......โ
Byron smiles bitterly and sighs.
Cindy is the girl that Byron found and adopted.
As an adoptive father, heโs happy that she grew up to be a smart girl, but itโs complicated for him to let her fall behind.
โYouโre right, itโs not a good look to be married off when youโre almost twenty.โ
โYes. So I was hoping that His Highness would introduce her to .......โ
โBy me? ...... I see.โ
I completely understand.
It is not unusual for a lord to arrange marriages for his subordinates, or rather it is natural.
Cindy is smart and hardworking, and although I may have lost track of her, sheโs a liability to my reputation.
Byron is my subordinate, which means Cindy is practically under my household.
In other words, Iโm almost like a father to Cindy.
Itโs not good for my daughter to be late.
โBut you know, ...... hmm...:
โWhat is it?โ
โItโs a tough one. Cindyโs talent will be missed. Sheโs one of the most talented people I know. It would be a shame to give her to another man.โ
โFor your such assessment ......, thank you.โ
If Cindyโs forte was domestic affairs, I would have made her my concubine.
Similar to having eunuchs in the house, the ladies of the family are generally not allowed out of the house โ no contact with other men.
It would be a shame to keep Cindyโs talent locked up in the house.
โIโll think about her selection carefully. I want to make her a governor and give her a part of the fief. We cannot afford a half-hearted person.โ
โEhh!โ
Byronโs eyes widened as he shouted.
โWhatโs so surprising?โ
โG-Governor, is it? Isnโt a female Governor unheard of ......?โ
โItโs unheard of, but thereโs no rule against it. We just donโt have one for some reason.โ
It is standard practice for the Emperor and the Royal Family to have eunuchs in their regular and side chambers to keep them away from other men, according to the Internal Affairs Ministryโs laws.
In comparison, the lack of women in high-ranking positions is only a matter of โsomehowโ.
There is no reason to obey or insist on it.
โPeople are treasures. In the first place, women make up half of all subjects. If you scoop up women as well, youโll have almost twice as much talent as if you scoop up men alone. It would be a shame to turn a blind eye to them.โ
โAs expected of you, sir, I hadnโt thought of it that way.โ
โAnyway, leave Cindy to me.โ
โYes, sir! Thank you very much!โ
The next day, around mid-afternoon, a eunuch suddenly came and summoned me to the royal palace.
I went to the palace and had an audience with His Majesty in his study.
Because of what happened before, the eunuch in this study was replaced by a man who had his ears and tongue destroyed.
In his study, I bowed down on one knee to His Majesty.
โI have come in response to your summons. How can be of service to you today?โ
โ Welcome Noah, look up. I wanted to get your opinion before I discuss it at the morning meeting.โ
โIn the west, Kurugeโs Galwan has moved.โ
โWhat the!?โ
I felt a shock as if I had been hit on the head.
Kurugeโs Galwan
Kuruge is the name of a religion, and Galwan is the title for the supreme leader of the religion for generations.
Galwans are passed on in the form of โreincarnation,โ and immediately after the death of the previous Galwan, a new Galwan is appointed in some way.
The current Galwan is Galwan VI.
He is known to be a very ambitious person.
โA rebellion, perhaps?โ
โThatโs the only possibility. Moreover, there is a movement to send a messenger to Tulbaikh.โ
โ...... I see.โ
I could sense the seriousness in his voice.
Tulbaikh is a vassal state of the empire to the west, and there is a lot of unrest there that could lead to another betrayal at any moment.
โWhat would you do, Noah?โ
His Majesty stares at me.
I feel like heโs testing me, but Iโm sure itโs just my imagination, given the circumstances.
I thought to myself.
โAre we sure about Kurugeโs movements?โ
โYes, Iโm sure about that. And it seems that the messenger hasnโt left yet.โ
Your Majesty assured me.
I thought that this prerequisite was certain, having experienced firsthand the greatness of His Majestyโs ears so far.
Then.
โ...... We should send out our troops now. We have to move with lightning speed and hit Kruuge first.โ
โLightning fast, huh?โ
โYes, sir. And at the same time, we must be on high alert and stop the messenger before he reaches Tulbaikh.โ
โWhy are we doing this?โ
โThe basic idea is to avoid a two-front operation. Once the Tulbaikhs are on board, it will be difficult to defeat them and clean up after them. But if the messenger hasnโt arrived in the first place, then ......โ
โ...... Tulbaikh would have known nothing about it.โ
โThatโs right, sir. We will have to deal with the Tulbaikh sooner or later, but for now, we should focus on the targets to be defeated.โ
โI see. Umu, Iโm glad I listened to Noahโs opinion. Youโre amazing as always, you know that?โ
Apparently, he liked my opinion.
โNow that you mention it, Noah, why donโt you go?โ
โMe, sir?โ
I tilt my head.
โUmu. For taking down Kuruge.โ
โI think Brother Henry would be better suited for that.โ
I answered immediately.
And without any hesitation at all.
โHenry, huh? Why is so?โ
โHeโs the only one whoโs ever actually led an army. Moreover, his knight, Rice Cake, is a skilled soldier. Therefore, I believe that brother is the best choice.โ
When I said it all at once, His Majesty was, for some reason, blindingly surprised.
The surprise lasted for more than ten seconds, and then he nodded his head and asked further.
โArenโt you getting pretty strong, too? I hear your knights are growing.โ
โOurs is individual prowess.โ
I replied, staring at his majesty without wavering at all.
โI donโt know if Iโm cut out to lead an army, and I have no experience. The burden of this great task is too great for me.โ
โI see. ......โ
His Majesty said, turning over and stroking his white beard.
โEven though it was possible in the past, few people are able to do the same after gaining power.โ
โ?โ
โLose but win. ...... It is natural for words and deeds to coincide.โ
The murmurings became quieter and quieter, and at the end, I could not hear what he was saying at all.
I wondered if I had said something wrong.
No, I donโt think so.
And even if it was bad, it was in line with my own policy.
It was only logical that I should wait for His Majestyโs response with my heart on my sleeve.
Unperturbed, I looked at His Majesty and waited for his next words.
After a while, His Majesty looked up.
The look on his face was one of praise โ a look of satisfaction.
โYou are marvelous, Noah.โ
โIโm flattered.โ
I donโt know what he was complimenting me on, but a present from His Majesty should be received with reverence, even if itโs a poisonous medicine for suicide.
Not to mention the words of praise.
โI will consult with the Prime Minister and others in that direction. Youโve given your opinion well, Iโll be counting on you from now on, Noah.โ
His Majesty seemed satisfied, so for the time being, this was a good decision. | ใใคใญใณใฎ้จไธใใไฟบใฎใกใคใใใ

โYour Majesty.โ
I bent at the waist, bowed, and stared straight at His Majesty.
โWhat is it?โ
โI remembered that I had some unfinished business at the Ministry of Justice. Iโd like to ask your permission to leave.โ
โ......โ
His Majesty furrowed his brow, tilting his head to look at me.
That was it.
Like anything else, itโs not good to overdo it.
The same goes for this story.
His Majesty called Oscar, the Minister of Finance.
If I continue to stay here, I might encroach on Oscarโs authority if Iโm not careful.
This kind of thing should be done in moderation, or rather, it must be done in moderation.
So before Oscar arrives, I make an excuse for my absence.
His Majesty looks at me for a moment, then says with a faint sigh.
โYouโre a clever one, Noah.โ
But then again, thatโs the emperor for you.
He didnโt go any further and returned to his original expression.
โI will allow it.โ
Finally, I kneeled down on one knee, bowed, and exited His Majestyโs study.
I left the study and walked out to the front.
And I spotted a eunuch nearby and gestured to him. He came towards me.
As he approached, I realized I knew him.
โSiz, huhโ
โYes.โ
It was Siz, a low-ranking eunuch Iโve met every time I come to the palace.
โIโm going back to my residence. Get my carriage ready.โ
โItโs already waiting out front.โ
โYouโre quite smart.โ
โThank you very much, sir.โ
โThere seems to be a lot of noise over there, what happened?โ
โWhat do you mean?โ
Siz replied in a high-pitched voice.
Eunuchs usually enter the royal court at an early age with their genitals clipped, so most of them never grow beards or change their voices.
According to the doctor, this is because something that is supposed to be secreted in the body after a man comes of age is no longer done.
Incidentally, in the past, the church choir used to do the same thing as eunuchs in order to maintain the boyโs voice, but now the imperial law forbids anyone other than the eunuchs in the imperial family to cut off their genitals.
โWeโre cleaning up the area after what Your Highness just did.โ
โMe?โ
โYes, the ground has melted into a doughnut shape, and everyone is wondering how it happened, and thereโs a lot of talk among us.โ[TN: Yep it really says doughnut]
โEveryone was amazed at the power of His Highness. One of them even fell into the pit when he was trying to dig up the soil after it had melted into mush. It was so deep that the one who fell broke his leg.โ
I took out a leather bag from my pocket and threw it at Siz.
As usual, it was a leather bag containing reens that I had prepared for him as a reward.
โThatโs for the treatment and the labor.โ
โThank you very much! Also, everyone says that His Highness is very kind to those under him, even though he is young.โ
โNo, itโs true. His Highness will probably get married soon, but the number of applicants to serve him is flooding in, and the scale is over .โ
Not only the royal palace but also the Princeโs residence can dispatch eunuchs if they wish.
Eunuchs are originally castrated to prevent them from making โmistakesโ with the noblemanโs wives and concubines.
This is a necessary procedure for the emperor to maintain the purity of his bloodline, and itโs quite important, even for the Princes, so they often have eunuchs in their mansions after marriage.
โThe number of eunuchs is likely to increase at this rate. It is said that you are the most popular of His Majestyโs children.โ
โHoh. By the way, whatโs that thing in your pocket?โ
I pointed to the area around Seedsโ bosom, diverting the conversation from the politically sensitive topic that could become too broad.
โOh, this one.โ
He took out a transparent box from his pocket.
There were two beetles in the box.
โI brought this for His Highness the Sixteenth. He seems to like to make beetles fight.โ
His Royal Highness the Sixteenth โ my younger brother, the Sixteenth Prince โ just turned three this year.
He is still very young, therefore he does not have a house outside the Palace, and lives in the Palace.
Since he is a Prince, he is given a certain amount of strict education, but at the same time, there are many children who ask eunuchs to give them these bland toys.
Iโve heard that the fourth prince, brother Henry, was also fond of such things.
While chatting randomly with Siz, we went outside the palace and boarded a waiting carriage.
โWhere are we heading?โ
Gigi, the new maid, who was sitting beside the carriage, asked me.
โThe mansion.โ
Though still inexperienced, Gigi relayed my order to the carriage attendant.
As the carriage began to move, Gigi made her way to the side.
As the carriage rocked, I looked at the ring on my thumb.
His Majestyโs gift, a new piece of equipment, the Ring Luthiya.
Iโll have to learn to use this well.
โ......Fumu.โ
Suddenly, I remembered the beetle that Siz had.
I remembered that, and asked the willful Leviathan and Luthiya if it was feasible.
Both of them answered that it was โpossibleโ.
Then do it, I ordered them.
I linked the ring of armor with both Leviathan and Luthiya.
They both transformed the armor rings.
After a while, two figures were created.
Both were the same size as my palm, and both had their toes connected to the ring of armor.
One was light blue and held a sword, and the other was red and had its fists clenched.
The next moment, the two dolls started to fight.
Right in front of me, on the carriage, the two figures were fighting.
I had seen the movements of the light blue swordsman before, in Leviathanโs memory, and they were very similar to the movements I had made when I was swinging my sword.
This one had more power and speed. I guess I can move like this when I grow up, I thought.
And I had never seen the red one before, but this one had flames on his hands and feet and was throwing punches and kicks.
I guess with Luthiyaโs power, I can move like this too.
The fight lasted less than a minute.
The light blue swordsmanโLeviathanโoverwhelmed Luthiya from start to finish, finally managing to break through the guard and slice the torso in half down the middle.
โWow. ......โ
I heard an admiring voice from the side.
Gigi, who was accompanying me, looked at me with respect.
โWhat is it?โ
โMaster, thatโs amazing. Whatโs that?โ
โEver saw a beetle or a cricket fight?โ
โWell, the boys in the village used to do that.โ
โItโs the same thing.โ
โBut itโs amazing. Itโs magic, isnโt it?โ
โItโs kind of similar.โ
I thought for a moment and mimicked Leviathanโs move from earlier.
Imitating its last slash that cut down Luthiya, I swung the demon sword I pulled out.
Leviathan slashed the decoration that was inside the carriage in front of me.
โHuh? Your sword passed by it and it was not cut?โ[TN: or slashed help me on this one]
โItโs been cut, you see.โ
With that, I pinched the tip of the decoration and lifted it up.
โWow.โ
I put it back โ on Leviathanโs suggestion.
The decoration was restored to its original state.
It was as if there was no cut at all as if it had been sucked back into place.
The carriage went through the city, and the wheels hit a pebble and the carriage bounced a bit.
But.
โ Huh? It didnโt fall.โ
The decoration that should have been cut off was still attached to the carriage, and Gigi looked at it curiously.
I grabbed the decoration again and showed it to Gigi.
โThe surface is smooth, right?โ
โIf you cut it with the right technique, it becomes smooth like this, and when you put it back together, it sticks together perfectly.โ
โWow, ...... this is amazing!โ
Gigi said with sparkling eyes.
I smiled and thought about Leviathan and Luthiya.
It was a mock battle, so to speak, using it in combination with the Armor Ring.
This way, they could practice the techniques they both had in them.
It was a coincidence but I was a little happy that I had devised a good method.
โ...u!โ
I saw a status out of the corner of my eye, and it caught my eye.

โThese are the main and subordinate criminals of this rebellion.โ
โAll of them are people around the Crown Prince.โ
All the names were familiar to me.
The Crown Princeโs confidant, his former educator, and a knight.
It can only be seen as a rebellion from Crown Princeโs faction trying to overthrow the system.
โ......โ
I sighed and rubbed my temples.
For these people, itโs just a matter of getting a legal sentence.
The problem is โ I glanced at Vinnie.
Vinnie looked away awkwardly.
Well, it was a natural reaction.
There was only one problem.
Whether or not the Crown Prince is involved here.
In imperial law, even if the royal family violates the law, there is a clause that allows them to receive a lighter sentence.
The only exception is โrebellion.
If a member of the Imperial Family is involved in a rebellion, regardless of whether he is a main criminal or accomplice, the penalty is the most severe-beheading.
And with such a close relationship with the Crown Prince, it is impossible for the Crown Prince to say that โI had no idea about itโ.
Even in the case of ordinary crimes, it is a crime to not report a crime when you know that it is a crime โ well, in the case of theft, it is a light penalty or a fine of about one reen.
However, it is a crime that is clearly defined by Imperial Law.
And if the crown prince โknew of the rebellion and did not report it (to the emperor),โ that alone is an extreme penalty for the royal familyโs involvement in the rebellion.
Hereโs the problem.
The Crown Princeโs treason โ and the death penalty.
It would be a terrible scandal, and the empire itself could be shaken.
โHas His Majesty said anything to you?โ
โHah, he wants me to repeat the original text. โThose who did shall be punished accordingly.โ โ
โ......, is that it?โ
I sighed.
โWhat does it mean?โ
โIt seems that His Majesty does not intend to make a scene. Well, of course, that would be the case.โ
โThen?โ
โYeah, weโll only execute those on that list. Fortunately, the rebellion is so certain that we donโt need to get a confession.โ
โIndeed.โ
โAnd so they will all be executed, and the execution will be immediate.โ
โ...... Iโm impressed, sir.โ
Vinnie took a deep breath.
The eyes that looked up at me were the eyes of deep admiration.
There are two types of death penalties, depending on the timing of the execution.
One is for immediate execution and the other is for collective execution once a year.
If the crime is more serious or there is no room for extenuating circumstances, the execution is carried out immediately.
On the other hand, if there is room for consideration of circumstances, or if there are other unidentified crimes, the execution may be postponed.
In some cases, the postponement can lead to a grand pardon.
For example, if someone slaughtered your family and you killed them in revenge.
In this case, according to imperial law, you would be beheaded.
However, because of the circumstances, the execution can be carried out after a maximum of three years.
If there is a grand pardon in the meantime, the person will be set free.
Or there is a story like this.
The man who was sentenced to death still had extenuating circumstances and waited three years to be executed, but he still didnโt get a grand pardon.
His family bribed the prison guards to send a woman to carry his baby boy so that he could continue his bloodline.
In other words, even with the death penalty, the execution could be postponed.
I decided to execute them all on the same day.
His Majesty clearly does not want to involve the Crown Prince โat the momentโ.
So I did this.
After I made that decision, I got up from the chair.
โWhere to?โ
โIโm going to see His Majesty. Just in case.โ
โAll right, sir. Iโll make the necessary preparations.โ
โI ask you to.โ
I left the ministerโs office and the Ministry of Justice then got into a carriage and headed straight for the royal palace.
When I requested an audience with His Majesty, I was taken straight to His Majestyโs study โ a study as big as a library.
His Majesty, who was reading some documents there, looked up, saw me, and stood up with a smile.
โOh, youโre here, Noah.โ
I got down on one knee and bowed, then stood up and faced His Majesty.
โItโs about the rebellion, Your Majesty.โ
โI see. Whatโs the penalty?โ
โAs per imperial law, the main perpetrator will be executed by beheading, and each of the subordinates and below will be sentenced to death.โ
I cut off at this point and report the most important part of the case separately.
โAll of them will be executed on the same day.โ
โUmu, Well done.โ
His Majesty folded his hands behind his back and walked around in his study.
โCuruz.โ
โYesโ
Cruz, the eunuch, still appeared out of nowhere.
โNoah has done well. His allowance will be increased by reens per year.โ
Cruz accepted the imperial order from His Majesty in a formal manner and walked away with a blank expression on his face.
After all, itโs right that he doesnโt want to get ...... involved.
A judgment of this magnitude is not enough of an achievement to warrant an addition.
Even so, it was His Majestyโs โthat kind ofโ message.
โVery good, Noah.โ
He approached me, tapped me on the shoulder, and looked me straight in the eye.
โWell done.โ
I could tell by the serious look on his face that he meant it.
โIโll be counting on you to keep up the good work.โ
I left the study, boarded a carriage outside the royal palace, and returned to the Ministry of Justice.
Now that this has happened, the rebels must be executed immediately.
I hurried the carriage back to the Ministry of Justice, and for some reason, it was so chaotic that I could see it from the outside.
I jumped down from the carriage and asked the young man who was guarding the gate.
โHey, whatโs going on?โ
โY-Your Highness! Thereโs been an intruder.โ
โIntruders?โ
โYes, theyโve already killed several of our men, and the intruders are inside.โ
โ......, you go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and tell my brotherโโ
Get support from the military.
I stopped what I was about to say.
This timing ...... could prove problematic if we make a big mistake.
โGather everyone here. Aside from me, nobody else should be allowed in. Even if the other party is the Prince.โ
โMove!โ
Seeing the gatekeeper rushing out in a panic, I pulled Leviathan from my bracelet and returned it to its original size.
With the Demon Sword in my hand, I rushed into the building of the Ministry of Justice.
Once inside, I heard the sound of sword fights, screams, and shouts.
As I advanced toward the voice, I saw a black shadow sprinting toward me after cutting down one of the guards with a dagger.
Looking closely, I could see that it was completely covered from head to toe in a black costume to hide its true identity.
โKeeeeeeeeeee!โ
The man shouted, then accelerated and jumped at me, slashing at me with his dagger.
โNaรฏve.โ
I parry the slash with my leviathan and cut off his tendons in return.
As he crashed to the ground, the ring linked to the magic sword produced a gag in his mouth.
Itโs to prevent suicide.
When the movement was almost blocked, more came after.
This time, there were three of them, all dressed exactly the same, with blood on their black robes.
The three of them jumped at me at once.
From the front, left, and right.
It was a breathtaking combination.
Leviathan parried the slashes from identical daggers and guided the slashes so that A slashed at B, B slashed at C, and C slashed at A as if the three of them were in a circle.[TN: it says like in Tomoe]
Then, in the same way, slashed the tendons of their limbs and gagged them.
The commotion slowly subsided, at least there was no more noise from the battle.
โYour Highness!โ
Vinnie rushed over from across the turn of the corridor.
โAre you all right, Your Highness? Did you defeat them all? What an amazing feat.โ
โReally?โ
โHah, after all, there were more than casualties among the guards, and even more so...โ
โMore so?โ
โThe rebels. Theyโve all been killed.โ
Because of the severity of the situation, the rebels were kept in the Ministry of Justice instead of the usual jail.
โAll of them?โ
โAll of them.โ
Vinnie looked straight at me and nodded.
That is what it means.
I knew he was implying it.
In other words, these four people belong to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince has gone to great lengths to keep their mouth shut in order to prevent any repercussions for himself.
โ.......โ
I used Leviathan to cut my own stomach without saying a word.
I slashed my side a little deeper, and blood spurted out.
โI was attacked by these four. What will be the heaviest sentence for seriously injuring the Crown Prince?โ
โโ!โ
Vinnie gulped, he seems to understand. | ใไปฅไธใใไปๅใฎ่ฌๅใฎไธป็ฏใๅพ็ฏใจใชใใพใใ

Vinnie responded by calling in the guards who could move and stabbing the four I had stopped on the spot.
After making sure they were all dead, Vinnie came back.
โWe executed them.โ

In the late afternoon on a sunny day, I came to Cobalt Street with Shirley.
โT-This is ......โ
Even in the flourishing capital, Cobalt Street, which, by the nature of dealing in antiques, attracts the rich and noble especially.
Shirley, who just came from a village where there is not even a doctor, was dumbfounded by the buzz of a hundreds of people.
โDonโt be a dimwit and just follow me.โ
โY-Yes!โ
I jumped off the carriage at the entrance to Cobalt Street and walked in with a newly knighted Shirley in tow.
I wander around at random, looking for treasure.
There were all sorts of things that caught my eye at a glance, but none of them were flashy.
The reason I came here is to find a gift for my brother Henry.
Even though it was ordered by His Majesty, technically he subdued Almeria on my behalf.
I need to show some sentiments.
So Iโm looking for the treasure to do just that........
โMmmm, thereโs ......โ
โWhatโs going on, Your Highness?โ
โLetโs go into that store!โ
โYes.โ
Shirley followed behind me, wondering.
I took her into a store.
Iโve been there before with my brother Oscar.
โOh, well, well, well. His Royal Highness the Thirteenth, itโs a pleasure to meet you.โ
โAlan Bardsley, right?โ
โYes. This way, please.โ
The moment we walked in, the owner, Alan, greeted us and invited us into the back of the store, keeping a very low profile.
We were ushered into a VIP room.
Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper brought us our drinks.
I could tell by the smell alone that it was a pretty good tea.
By the way, Shirley stood behind me with her hands clasped behind her back.
There is no seat for a knight when you are with the Lord. Alan, who does business with the aristocracy, of course knows this and treats Shirley as if she were an air.
โCan I help you with something today, sir?โ
โI want to give my brother something to thank him for, something good.โ
โIs it His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince?โ
โNo, itโs my brother Henry.โ
โYou mean His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince! I just stocked up on something the other day. Would you please wait a moment?โ
โAh.โ
I nodded and Alan left the room once.
We waited for a few minutes, and then he returned with some servants.
Each of the servants had something with them.
Perhaps it was a jewelry box, or a picture in a frame, or something big enough to fit in a wagon.
They probably brought a whole lot of treasures that can be sold in this store.
In the midst of all this, my eyes were glued to one thing.
It was placed on a table in a wagon and covered with a cloth on top.
I was curious, so I pointed to it and asked Alan.
โWhatโs that? The atmosphere is clearly different from the rest.โ
โOh, Your Royal Highness the Thirteenth, you saw through it at a glance.โ
Alan looked half business tongued, half plain amazed.
He made eye contact and had a servant take a cloth.
What came out was a statue of a goddess which was transparent.
โIs this ...... glass?
โA goddess made of glass and not crystal? I didnโt know you could make something like this.โ
โ The surprise is understandable. This is the legacy of Lindsey, the master glass artist. Lindsay was the only one who could make a goddess statue out of glass, a now lost skill.โ
โI guess.โ
I stared at the statue of the goddess.
I knew โ itโs a little bit out.
A little bit of something similar to that grimoire.
I saw it, so I asked to be the first to see it.
โIt is said that Lindsey herself has few works, and that there are only two goddess statues left in the world.โ
โOkay. So, Iโll take that.โ
โThis will be , reens......โ
I took out a leather bag from my pocket and handed it to Alan.
โThereโs more than ten thousand in there. The remainder is my reward for you bringing a gift for my brother.โ
โThank you very much!โ
Alan received the leather bag with a big smile on his face.
โThat goddess statue, later at homeโโ
โThere you are, Noah.โ
As I was about to say, a man came in from outside.
It was the Eighth Prince, Brother Oscar, with his trademark gentle smile.
โBrother,โ
I stood up and gave a quick bow to Oscar.
โI heard Noah was here when I went into the store. Found some good treasureโor ......โ
Oscar looked at the glass goddess statue and froze in place.
He looks as if he has seen something unbelievable.
โWhatโs the matter with you, brother?โ
โThis is the Statue by Lindsey. Is it real?โ
โYeah, probably.โ
Me, who replied, as if that wasnโt enough, Oscar looked at Alan.
Alan nodded, puzzled.
โI-Itโs authentic. Thereโs no way I would offer your highness a fake ...... something poorly done.โ
โHah.โ
Oscar sighed and sat down in a nearby chair.
โDamn, so I guess that means there are only two of them and theyโre both coming out at the same time.โ
โDo you know about the other one?โ
โI have it.โ
Then, Oscar, this time with a wry smile.
โItโs a glass statue of Lindsay, I know it was made in two, but I didnโt see it here on Cobalt Street, so I thought I had the last one in the world. I didnโt know there were any more of them.
I can understand why Oscar laments.
The fewer the number of treasures, the more valuable they are in their rarity.
Among them, โthere is only oneโ is of tremendous value.
When there are two, if the value of each is , the value of one is more than ten times higher than the value of the other.
This is what treasures โ antiques โ are all about.
โBrother.โ
โYeah, what is it?โ
I silently approached the glass goddess statue, lifted it up โ and smashed it to the ground.
โMmmโ
โY-Y-Your Royal Highness!โ
As Alan panicked, I took out another bag of about 100 reens from my pocket and gave it to him.
โDonโt worry, you can keep the money for what I paid you for earlier. And hereโs your wages.โ
โWhat, wage?โ
โThe second statue came out, but it broke. I want you to spread the word, but only in Cobalt Streetโ.
โ.....Iโm impressedโ
Oscar nodded with an impressed look on his face.
โWow thatโs amazing, Noah. If you broke it and even shed the fact that youโre the one who broke it, the statue I have will certainly increase in value.โ
โThe sooner the treasure is found, the better. And if only brother Oscar have it, it would be worth more.โ
โIโm surprised you knew how to do this, and even more so that you actually did it. Amazing. I only reached this point after I came of age and entered the fiefdom.โ
Oscar stood up and gave a glimpse of the cracked statue.
โIโll thank you, in due course,โ
With that, Oscar walked out of the store.
After telling Alan to clean up and choose the next treasure to present to the house, I left with Shirley.
โOh, uh, your highness ......?โ
After leaving the store, the busy Cobalt Street.
Shirley called out to me as if she were afraid.
โWhatโs up,โ
โWhy would you do that?โ
I looked around.
Everyone around me is a stranger, and I donโt have to worry about being heard.
โItโs just a thing, after all.โ
But itโs a very expensive treasure?โ
โA real treasure is not like that.โ
โEh?โ
Shirley was puzzled.
I saw my status, always visible in the corner of my vision.
My own personal status with a โ+โ behind my normal status.
I have this one.
โA real treasure is not something like that, itโs people.โ
โPeople?โ
โPeople who are loyal to me. Like you.โ
โYeah.โ
I nodded.
Yes, to me, the real treasures are people.
Breaking one of those glass goddesses is a small price to pay for a happy memory of brother Oscar.
โ......โ
โWhatโs up Shirley?โ
โIโm impressed! Youโre saying the same thing as the great men in the story.โ
โItโs amazing, Your Highness. ...... Iโll follow you forever!โ
โAh.โ
I broke it down to make Oscarโs memory a happy one, and as a bonus, Shirleyโs favorability seems to have increased.
I took Shirley with me out of the junk-covered Cobalt Street.
Somehow, I remember what Oscar said.
Becoming an adult, entering the fiefdom.
The time will come for me to join Almeria.
In the Empire, itโs usually when the royal family comes of age.
Until that time, I had a clear goal in mind to collect more treasures. | ไธๆฅใๆดใใๆผใใใใซใไฟบใฏใทใฃใผใชใผใ้ฃใใฆใณใใซใ้ใใซใใฃใฆใใใ

โSister! I heard that you were ill!?โ
I was the most surprised Iโve been in a while when I saw Rain being ushered into the parlor.
The First Princess Rain is almost the same age as Mother.
A princess who was known for her lady-like martial arts and dynamic personality.
I was surprised to see her, as I had heard that she had been suffering from a serious illness recently.
She was in such high spirits that she didnโt look like a sick person.
โI canโt be resting, not at a time like this.โ
โEh?โ
โI need to be thanking, Noah. I came to thank you.โ
โThank me?โ
I tilted my head, wondering what she was talking about.
โI heard what you did for Arlene.โ
โAhh.โ
โSo, just a little while ago, I knocked out all the women staying at Husbandโs place.โ
The rest of the story finally came into focus here.
Alan, Rainโs husband.
As the princessโs husband, he is in a way the man who is doing the most normal thing.
The husband of the Imperial Princess is treated as a subject unless there is something wrong with him.
And because she is a princess, sheโs not asked to have an heir.
Therefore, many of the husbands of the Imperial Princess have concubines in their lives, rather than only the Imperial Princess.
This is semi-official recognition.
It is better to get rid of your desire with other women than to turn the sluttish thoughts toward the Imperial Princess.
When you are the husband of an Imperial Princess, a quasi-royalty figure, it is only natural to have a concubine or two.
For men, it is better to have a concubine they can control than to have a princess who is above them in any way, and they can maintain their pride.
It is rare for a man to say he wants to be with Arlene like Angus.
โNoah, thanks to you, I can now fight those thieving cats proudly.โ
I chuckled.
The fact that it is natural does not mean that there is no jealousy on the part of the Princess.
Because itโs not dignified to be jealous of your subjects, so you canโt show it openly โ no, you canโt do anything at all because itโs even more disgraceful to sneak around.
Now that the โjealousyโ was excused, Rain moved quickly.
It seems that what I did for Arlene and the others helped Rain, even if in a different way.
โThatโs fine, sister, but donโt take it too hard. Iโve read the medical officerโs report.โ
โIโve recovered, you know.โ
โEh?โ
โAfter I beat those thieving cats out of there, I feel incredibly light.โ
It is said that sickness and health begin with the heart.
And there is also mental illness.
I donโt know which one Rainโs is, but apparently, she was properly cured by that one.
โThank you so much, Noah.โ
โYouโre welcome. So, sister, what are you going to do now?โ
โAbout what now?โ
โAfter knocking out the concubines.โ
โThatโs .......โ
What is this reaction?
Rain, whoโs getting pretty old, started blushing and fidgeting.
โSister?โ
โI just remembered what he said to me the night we got married.โ
โHaah.โ
I wondered what those words were.
A memory of the two of them, and probably from their wedding night.
I knew better than to ask too deeply.
โSo I thought, ...... now that the thieving cats are gone, I might as well forgive him.โ
โI see. Well then, good luck, sister, and if there is anything I can do, please let me know.โ
โYes. Thank you, Noah.
There is the word, unintentional.
Noahโs sequence of actions was just like that.
Imperial Princesses have had a significantly shorter lifespan than their kinsmen.
In the several hundred years of their history, only two have exceeded the age of .
However, after this measure by Noah, the life expectancy of the Imperial Princesses increased significantly.
It was not immediately clear at the time. Still, it was revealed in later generations that the liberation of the Imperial Princesses from the customs that had bound them had greatly increased their life expectancy.
It was a small but certainly historic achievement of Noahโs generation.
The next day, in the study.
I called Henry and Oscar over.
We conducted government business in the usual manner, with me sitting and Henry and Oscar standing across the desk from each other.
โThatโs why Oscar. I want you to review the budget for the Princesses who have married. It may not be much from the annual budget, but itโs to show that Iโm serious about this.โ
โYour Majesty, about that, shouldnโt we be a little more careful?โ
I look Oscar straight in the eye as he makes his rebuttal.
โThe tradition has been carried on for hundreds of years in the Empire. I donโt think itโs a good idea to suddenly abolish it. I think it would be fine to call Arleneโs case a special exception.โ
Oscar had a good point.
These old traditions are strongly opposed if you try to break them suddenly.
Even the Emperor cannot do everything he wants to do.
This is especially true concerning traditions.
In a sense, tweaking traditions is a challenge to the Emperors of the past.
The resistance and backlash are sometimes stronger than expected.
But,
โIt has already been decided, there will be no change.โ
โI hope you will reconsider.โ
โ......โ
โOscar.โ
Henry, who had been quietly watching the proceedings until then, opened his mouth to speak next.
โWhat is it, brother?โ
โThere has been a move in Turbaif.โ
โNow the princessesโโ
โIt shows the seriousness of the Emperor who is willing to lower the privileges of the Imperial Princesses to allow them to marry. Voices of that kind were heard from within the Turbaif.โ
โโ! Your Majesty, ......, now way for this to happen.โ
โYeah.โ
I nodded deeply.
The moment I heard Angusโ direct appeal, I had drawn this picture in my mind.
The privileges of a married Princess are not limited to the Empire.
In fact, their privileges come into play when they are sent to other countries.
Naturally, a married Princess is both hostage and guest.
Neglecting her is almost the same as declaring hostility to the Empire.
Therefore, the Princess is treated on the same level even after marriage.
I took that away.
โWas this your intention all along?โ
I smiled at him.
Without responding directly, I stood up and looked out the window behind me.
โI hope theyโll behave themselves.โ
It was a continuation of the words I had used when I decided to send the three princesses off to a political marriage.
โAs expected of His Majesty. If you have gone this far, I am sure that Turbaif will shed tears of joy and follow your orders.โ
โOne cannot be too careful, though. Keep your guard up.โ
Henry bowed deeply.
I stared at Oscar.
Our eyes met, and we stared at each other for a while.
Oscar said, โI understand,โ and agreed to review the budget.
Henry and Oscar both left the room together.
โHaah.......โ
โThat didnโt go so well.โ
Don said as he came in to take over.
โHis Highness didnโt accept Your Majestyโs wishes, did he?โ
โIโm surprised you noticed that, .......โ
โYour Majesty is indeed very good.โ
I sighed again at Donโs compliment.
โI went out of my way to call Oscar, the Minister of the Imperial Household, and spoke to him directly, even though it was just a matter of sending a single document to the relevant department through the Fourth Vizier.โ
It was to,
โI will do whatever it takes to bring about the reign of the monarchy.โ
This was to convey a message to him.
Following in my fatherโs footsteps, Iโm building an intelligence network.
Iโm using more than just Fuwawaโs box; Iโm also using people who are more in the dark.
And from all over the place came reports of disturbing โ if not outright unrest โ in Oscar.
If anyone interfered even if itโs the Princeโ
I sent such a message, but Oscar did not receive it.
He was aware of it, and he didnโt dare take it.
Will I have to deal with it someday, or can I only hope that such a day will never come? | ใๅงไธ! ็

It was late at night and I was inside the inn writing.
Even when I am away from the Capital, the government affairs are run by a joint decision of Henry and Oscar, but there are still a few matters here and there that can only be decided by the Emperor.
I have to read the contents, think about them, and respond to them during the night.
So even now, I was cutting down on my sleeping time to write a reply.
Knock-knock.
A discreet knock on the door.
โItโs John.โ
I stopped writing.
And then looked up to see the door.
A manโs voice, not Pieyuโs, had identified himself.
I searched my memory for the name John .......
Immediately the image of a young man came into my mind.
โ...... Ah, itโs you. Come in.โ
โThank you very much!โ
After the reply, the door slowly opened.
Kneeling outside the door, he opened it, stood up once and carefully closed the door, then reverently knelt and bowed to me once again.
โYour majesty, Iโโ
โThere are no outsiders here, private courtesy will do.โ
โโYes! It has been a long time, Master.โ
โUmu. Youโve been well?โ
โYes!โ
John looked up and answered with a big smile.
There was once a time when Albert, the former Emperorโs first Prince, was a black marketer of slaves.
I bumped into this black marketer on the street and rescued the children who were being forced into slavery and took them in.
One of those children was John.
He did odd jobs in the mansion for a few years after that, but when I ascended to the throne, I sent him out as a deputy.
I looked at him and observed.
โYouโve gotten a little plump, looks like youโve been eating well.โ
โApologies! Iโve been addicted to fatty rice lately.โ
โEh? Fatty rice.โ
โItโs basically just thickly seasoned fat poured over rice, but itโs so addictive!โ
โHahahaha, thatโs a manly meal. Have you had anything better?โ
โI once went to a restaurant to entertain some merchants, but the food was too refined for me. Itโs elegant, I know, but I got diarrhea after eating it.โ
โYou have a poor palate. However, you should gradually get used to it. If you keep that poor palate when I call you back to the capital in the future, there will be less for me to reward you with.โ
โY-yes! Iโll do my best!โ
โSo, what are you doing here?โ
โYes, sir! I heard that Master was here, so I came to escort him with soldiers.โ
โSoldiers?โ
I tilted my head a little and listened carefully.
Then I felt a slight presence.
Outside the inn, I sensed an air of something that could not have been there in the middle of the night.
โThatโs over the top.โ
โNo way! If something happened to Master in a place like this, it would be a disaster. Besides,โ
โI havenโt had much opportunity to serve Master since I left the mansion, so let me at least do it on occasions like this.โ
John said so as he turned his eager eyes on me.
I donโt feel bad because I know he admires me.
โHahaha, all right. Iโll leave everything to you.โ
โThank you very much!โ
John bowed his head, looking happy.
Thatโs when it happened.
Until now, I couldnโt hear anything even if I listened carefully, but then I heard an argument going on outside.
โWhat is it?โ
โIt might be a drunk. Thereโs nothing to worry about. Iโve told the staff downstairs not to let anyone in.โ
โLet the guests through. Weโre not renting the whole place out.โ
โY-Yes! As expected of Master, Mary always told me to be attentive to such things, but I forgot!โ
John said and scratched his head.
Given his history as a farmer and then a slave before coming to my mansion, Johnโs mannerisms and language are a bit of a mess at first glance.
It still shows, but since many of my people come from slavery, I try to laugh it off on occasions like this.
Evelyn was a rarity when you think about it โ or so I thought.
Amidst the noise of the struggle, a metallic swordfight mingled.
โMuh?โ
โWhat is it? Those guys. Excuse me, master, Iโll take the window.โ
I nodded, and John got up and went to the window.
โMaster!?โ
Peiyu came running into the room.
I told her that I had something to do and that she could go back to bed, but the commotion seemed to have woken her up.
โDonโt worry, Iโm fine.โ
โY-yes, ......,Ah, John-san .......โ
John was from my mansion and they knew each other.
When Peiyu saw John, she felt mixed emotions, a โWhyโ as well as nostalgia for meeting after a long time.
Meanwhile, John stood by the window and opened it at once.
Then all at once the sound of the struggle that had been faintly audible through the window became clear.
โWhat the hell are you guys doing!โ
John roared from the bottom of his gut.
When I was in the Ministry of Military Affairs during the reign of the Emperor, I used to deal with these types of generals a lot, so Iโm used to it, but Peiyu, who was not one of them, was horrified and shrugged.
โAaahh, what is it? Why are you soldiers fighting with each other? What jurisdiction is this!โ
โI-Itโs John-sama. I am so sorry, I didnโt know that John-sama was here.โ
A man responded to Johnโs yell with condescension.
โMaster, this is .......โ
โYeah. John.โ
โYes, what is it?โ
John stood at the window and turned himself toward me.
โDo you know that guy?โ
โYes, well, he works for me as a gatekeeper at the checkpoint, and heโs a real piece of shit.โ
โI see. Heโs after me, I think.โ
John was surprised, his eyes widened.
I told him what had happened during the day.
Johnโs surprise subsided.
I guess he could tell from what I told him that I do this all the time.
When he heard what had happened, he turned around again.
โCome up alone, you little shit!โ
Immediately after the manโs voice, there was a thud, thud, thud of footsteps, and the man from the afternoon came tumbling into the room, looking flustered.
โIโm sorry to keep you waiting, John-sama! Apologies, I didnโt know John-sama was here, and Iโm sorry it took me so long to greet you.โ
โI donโt care how you greet me.โ
John approached and kicked the man.
โYour Masterโs Master is here, so greet him!โ
The man tilted his head as if he didnโt understand the conversation.
John scrunched up his chin, and the man looked at me.
Then he finally noticed my presence and gasped.
โAhh, you! Your luck runs out here!โ
The man became furious and tried to grab me.
At that, Peiyu screamed.
I sat down and didnโt move.
John intervened from the side and kicked the man.
The man slammed into the wall and looked at John with a startled look on his face.
โW-why ......โ
โI told you heโs your masterโs master.โ
โEh?โ
The man finally calmed down and began to think things over.
โMaster, .......โ
โOuu.โ
โ......, master?โ
Then he looked at me and mumbled.
After mumbling for a bit, he turned pale.
John was a servant from the Thirteenth Residence.
In other words, he was a servant of the Thirteenth Princeโthe Emperor.
That is a fact that anyone at the official level knows.
It is important to know who is a retainer of whom, and ignorance is not an option.
Naturally, this man must know John very well.
On top of that, speaking of Johnโs masterโ.
The man began to tremble as his understanding progressed.
It was as if he finally understood who I was.
โI am so sorry! I had no idea His Majesty was there!โ
โYou think you can get away without knowing!โ
โNo, ignorance is fine.โ
I interrupted the conversation.
Then took a sip of the tea on the desk, which had cooled down while I was writing...
โYour Majesty?โ
โItโs written in the imperial law. There is no disrespect for anything I do before I identify myself.โ
โThatโs true, but... You are lucky His Majesty is the most law-abiding person in the history of the Empire.โ
โHa-ha-ha. yess .......โ
The man seemed to have completely lost his nerve.
John, on the other hand, turned himself to me.
โAs expected of you, Your Majesty. So, what are you going to do?โ
โFuuh.โ
I smiled at him.
As expected of John, one of the oldest servants under me.
John knows me well at times like this.
โDemanding more than the prescribed toll at the gate, assaulting the people. Heโll be dismissed from his post and forever denied promotion.โ
John looked at me with deeply impressed eyes.
Then he turned to the still-battered man and said, | ๆทฑๅคใไฟบใฏๅฎฟใฎไธญใงๆธใ็ฉใใใฆใใใ

โDid you hear that?โ
โY-Yes?โ
โNeck, your neck. Youโre lucky to be alive.โ
โY-yes, sir! T-Tttthank you for your grace!โ
The man panicked and bowed his head to me.
He bowed again and again, on his knees on the spot.
โItโs getting annoying, get out of here.โ
John kicked him out of the room.
John followed him, said a word or two to his men who were probably waiting in the hallway, and then came back and closed the door to the room.
Meanwhile, Peiyu closed the window on my watch.
โIโm really sorry for my lack of supervision, Master.โ
โDonโt worry, there are people like that everywhere.โ
โYes, Iโm sorry. Ah, by the way, Master.โ
โI donโt know who might try to get on the masterโs case here again. so could you please come to my house? As a matter of fact, Mary also wants to see Master. Of course, I will have her cook some of the dishes she learned when she was at Lordโs house.โ
I laughed and stood up.
โThen I will be troubling you.โ
โShall we go, Peiyu?โ
โYes!โ
We left the inn and were escorted by Johnโs soldiers to his place.
โItโs hugeโ
I muttered to myself as I dismounted from my horse and looked at the mansion in front of me.
The mansion is quite spacious, with a bonfire burning at the entrance.
The bonfire stretched from the front gate to the back of the building as if it were a beacon.
โThis is the residence of the Governor, and Iโm grateful to be allowed to live here for free.โ
โIs that so?โ
โMary is very happy with this as it will save a lot of money on rent and stuff.โ
I smiled and walked in through the bonfire pathway.
Johnโs position as a government official is a good one.
At the very least, he could command nearly a hundred men with the snap of his fingers, and he could kick the crap out of any official at the checkpoint.
With that said, he is not in a position to talk about โrent-baggingโ.
But maybe heโs just keeping it simple, not accepting ...... bribes or anything like that.
Many of my retainers are like that.
Itโs not uncommon for them to pander to my preferences, but many of them do so as a matter of reality.
โItโs fine if youโre stingy, but donโt force it on everyone else.โ
โWh? But if I set a good example, why donโt the people around me become cleaner, too?โ
โFuu, People canโt survive on ideals.โ
I smile and say to John,
โYou have the same illness as Evelyn.โ
โSame illness as sister? W-Whatโs wrong?โ
Johnโs complexion changed.
Because I used the word โIllnessโ he panicked.
โDonโt be impatient, Iโm not blaming you. You and Evelyn both think too highly of ordinary people by your own standards.โ
โEh mm... ......?โ
โYou guys work for me without getting paid much money.โ
โOf course, I can! I owe my life to the master, youโre my lifeโs savior!โ
โBut can you recruit good people without paying them much money?โ
โEh .......โ
โLetโs say for example, thereโs a person who doesnโt feel indebted to me, would that person go to your place for a low salary or to a merchant who pays a high salary? Which would they go for?โ
โUgh. .......โ
John stumbled over his words.
โMost people, especially the more capable ones, think they should be making more money than they are.โ
โT-thatโs ...... true, but...โ
โTo begin with.โ
I laugh playfully.
โAt the end of the day, I reward you when you work hard, donโt I?โ
โ!!!โ
โI donโt mind if you kick down your underlings, and even whip them. But donโt forget to give them candy as well.โ
โY-Yes! Understood! Iโll do it right.โ
I smiled a little more gently.
Johnโs the kind of guy who will change his tune if properly told.
โIโve been having trouble pulling in talent lately, actually. Now that you mentioned the reason for that. ...... Thank you very much!โ
John said embarrassingly.
โWell, you better give me some encouragement.โ
Letโs watch John for a while.
If he can get the right people, โ letโs move his position up a bit.

โ...... Okay, do it.โ
In the early afternoon of the following day, in the garden of the mansion, I took a deep breath and prepared my mind, then ordered the other party.
In front of me was a dragon clad in flames.
It was Luthiyaโs ring, materialized by the Armor Ring โ the Awakened Bahamut.
Bahamut opened its mouth wide and spat out swirling flames at me from the back of its throat.
The next moment, my body was in flames.
โMmm. ......โ
As I was burned by the fire, I let my body remember the feeling.
I counted in my mind as my skin sizzled โ one minute.
โHa!โ
Using the power of Leviathan, I blew out the flames of Bahamut.
I can smell the charred smell, the ground is smoldering, the earth is melting down from the burning.
Now that I had a general idea, letโs move on toโ
โKyaaa!โ
I heard a scream.
I turned to the voice and saw Gigi, my maid, slumped on the ground, her mouth gaping like a goldfish.
An envelope of some kind fell beside her.
โWhatโs wrong?โ
โA-Are you okay, Master?โ
โThat was such a ...... great flame. .....โ.
โYeah. Thatโs Bahamut, I burned myself.โ
โEeeeeeeeeeeh!?โ
Gigi looked very surprised, she looked as if she had no idea what was said to her.
โW-What do you mean, you burned yourself?โ
โI thought Iโd take it while I still could.โ
I glanced at the status in the corner of my eye.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Ararat
Prime Minister
Gender: Male
Level: / โ
HPD+SSSMPE+SSSStrengthD+SSSStaminaE+SSSIntelligenceE+SSSSpiritE+SSSSpeedF+SSSDexterityE+SSSLuckE+SSS FireE+SSSWaterD+SSSWindE+SSSEarthE+SSS
Light E+SSSDarknessE+SSS
The Prime Minister, who is in charge of the affairs of the Empire on behalf of His Majesty.
As a result of being ordered to do so, my โ+โ has probably added โthe entire Empireโ to it.
In laymanโs terms, I am now invincible.
Thatโs why I decided to take on the attacks of Bahamut and Leviathan while I still can.
โBut why now?โ
โGigi, have you been vaccinated against smallpox?โ
โEh? Ah, yes. All of Masterโs maids are vaccinated.โ
โItโs the same thing. The smallpox vaccination is called variolation, in which the patientโs pus โ the poison of a weak disease โ is deliberately transferred to the body so that the body learns it. Itโs the same thing.โ
โOh, yes, .......โ
Gigi finally understood and agreed with what I said.
She slowly stood up, but it seemed that the surprise had not completely worn off yet.
โB-But even so, itโs hard to believe that such a strong attack ...... that amount of flame .......โ
โI know that. Itโs hard to breathe when your whole body is on fire. This way I wonโt be surprised when the time comes.โ
โHaaa. ...... Master is amazing, after all. ......โ
โSo, what do you have for me?โ
โAh, yes! Itโs a letter to Master.โ
Gigi hurriedly picked up the letter and presented it to me.
โWho is it from?โ
โI donโt know.โ
โWhat?โ
โThe person who delivered it didnโt say anything. He just said it was for the Prince.โ
โFumu. ......โ
I took the letter and looked at it intently.
At any rate, it seemed to be harmless.
I broke the seal and took out the letter inside.
โThis is .......โ
โHave a look.โ
I showed the letter to Gigi.
โItโs a ...... menu. And itโs for a healthy person.โ
As even Gigi could see at a glance, the contents of the letter were a menu.
There were three basic meals a day and the occasional snacks.
This was written in a row for about a month.
In addition to the menu, there was a simple note that read, โTo the person who saved my life.โ
It was the handwriting of someone who was not used to writing.
I stared at the letter intently.
Was it some kind of code? I suspected that it was some kind of cipher, but it ranged from a simple reading of the beginning of a line to a complex cipher.
I looked at all the possibilities, but couldnโt read anything that looked like it.
Suddenly, I noticed something.
I noticed the texture of the paper.
And as I noticed the texture, I realized something.
A series of possibilities flashed through my mind like a stream.
โCuruz, huh?โ
โE? Were you able to figure it out?โ
โYeah, this is His Majestyโs ...... menu for the past month, probably.โ
โI see. It is true that the contents are like a royal palace meal. ...... Huh? But His Majesty is currently not feeling well .......โ
Gigi opened her eyes in surprise.
Since His Majestyโs health was not good, he ordered me to be the Prime Minister until his recovery, and all the maids in the house know that.
โThatโs what this is all about.โ
โWhat do you mean?โ
โFirst of all, this paper is familiar to me. Itโs the paper of His Majestyโs royal court.โ
โThatโs how I knew it was His Majestyโs menu. And the only person who can use this and say โthank you for saving my lifeโ is Curuz.โ
At that time, I recommended that the charges against the eunuch who couldnโt write be dropped.
That was the case, and Curuz could have been charged with death sentence, depending on the interpretation.
Itโs not too much to say that I owe him my life.
And Curuz is a member of His Majestyโs inner circle, and heโs probably under strict orders from His Majesty not to tell anyone the truth about his health.
In fact, he didnโt say a word when he came to deliver the Imperial Decree.
However, His Majesty didnโt seem to mind the menu.
What Curuz delivered was a menu for a healthy person, no matter how you look at it.
No one with summer fatigue could eat this much.
Curuz and the consort, Ada.
The roundabout information from the two of them made me more and more convinced that His Majesty was still in good health.
โHmmm, ...... as expected. You can tell the sender just by the material of this paper. Master is amazing after all.โ
I smiled back at Gigiโs admiration. Iโll have to thank Cruise next time, I thought.
After changing out of my partially burned clothes, I headed to the study I had built in the outer garden to begin todayโs political work.
But then I saw someone arguing with the gatekeeper at the main gate.
Curious as to what was going on, I approached the gate.
โAh! Iโm sorry, Your Highness. Iโll send him away right now.โ
The young gatekeeper panicked.
Pushing the manโs breastplate, he is ready to drive him away right now, just as he said.
โYour Highness, huh, are you His Highness the Thirteenth?โ
The man who had been arguing with the gatekeeper spoke to me in a cheerful voice.
The manโs appearance could be summed up in one word: beggar-like.
His hair was shaggy and his clothes were tattered.
And his body was smeared with mud, and when I approached him, I could smell a strange odor that irritated the back of my nose.
โJust in time, Iโd like to talk to you, but I donโt know if youโll listen.โ
โWhat are you talking about? You are being too rude.โ
โ...... No, leave it at that. Do you want to talk about something? Letโs hear it.โ
Surprised, the gatekeeper looks like he doesnโt know whatโs going on.
โFollow me.โ
I took the man and headed back to the house.
Entering the mansion, I had one of the maids prepare a cup of tea and brought the man into the parlor myself.
I sat down on the sofa and the man sat down.
โYep, as expected from the Prince, you know your stuff.โ
โMore importantly, what do you want with me?โ
โYes, yes, Iโm Leon. Today I brought the Prince a lucrative offer.โ[TN: This guy has a rough way of speaking like Indra(The Thunder Prince)]
โA Business.โ
โOh, really? And what kind of business?โ
โThatโs a secret. The Prince has a lot of servants, doesnโt he? And they say that even walls have ears.โ
โIf they find out, youโll lose your money?โ
โFumu. So how much is it?โ
โ reens. Thatโs all I need.โ
โFumu.โ
I looked at Leon.
He was staring at me.
โWhat do I get for my money or my investment in you?โ
โIโll pay you back tenfold in a year.โ
Suddenly, I saw the expression of the maid who had entered the room.
The maid was looking at the back of Leonโs head with a wry smile.
It was as if she was saying, โYou canโt fool anyone with such a crude scam.โ
Well, you would think so.
โAll right. Bonnie.โ
I called out the name of the maid there.
โYes?โ
โGo to Dylan and give him the 000 Reens.โ
The two surprised voices of Leon and Bonnie overlapped.
โWhatโs the matter, 1000 reenโs not enough?โ
โN-no, ...... itโs not that itโs not enough, but .......โ
โIf so, it wonโt be a problem. Iโm counting on you.โ | ใ......ใใใใใฃใฆใใใ

Rion, who was led out of the parlor by Bonnie had a sly expression.
A few moments later, Bonnie came back.
โMaster. I gave the man the money and asked him to leave.โ
โOh.โ
โBut ......, why did you give him the money? And top of that ten times more. You canโt give money to a crook like that and expect him to come back.โ
โDid you see that guyโs head?โ
What do you hear suddenly? Bonnie makes a face.
โYes, his head.โ
โWell, it was shaggy, but...โ
โNot that. Itโs true that his head was shaggy, his clothes were tattered, and he smelled of mud. But.โ
โHis scalp was clean.โ
โWhat? Th-thatโs not possible.โ
โYou got it now?โ
โYes! Because I was also an orphan rescued by my master and became a maid.โ
I nodded slightly.
Most of the maids in this mansion are like that.
She or her family members were saved by me and then became my maid.
Bonnie is one of them.
โThatโs not possible to keep your scalp clean looking like that.โ
โYes. Thatโs why it was a disguise.โ
โ...... Yes.โ
Bonnieโs face remained bitter, but she nodded in agreement.
And ...... this makes no sense to Bonnie, but Rion was only looking at me when he came into the room.
This is the parlor of the Thirteenth Princeโs residence, and it is furnished with rather expensive furnishings for entertaining noblemen.
Even a layman can recognize the value of these items at a glance.
And yet, Rion didnโt pay any attention to them and just stared at me.
โHe even went to the trouble of disguising himself to ask me for money, which means thereโs something going on.โ
โYes, .......โ
โI donโt know what it is.โ
I shrugged my shoulders, palms upwards.
โBut people are treasure. Think of it as an investment in a man who has come that far. Even if thereโs nothing in the future, the only loss is money. If something happens, we get one guy who dresses like that and jumps into our pockets. Thatโs the type of payment Iโm talking about.โ
โI see. ...... As expected, master!โ
Outside the 13th Princeโs residence.
Rion came out of the mansion and met up with another man waiting in the shadows.
The man was a well-dressed, good-looking young man.
โHow did it go?โ
โI got it.......โ
โWhy do you have such a strange look on your face?โ
โLook.โ
When Leon took out a leather bag, his companion was also surprised.
โHow much is this ......?โ
โA thousand reens. He gave me ten times as much.โ
โWhy ......?โ
โI donโt know. He just stared me in the face and told the maid to give me a 1000 reens.โ
โHe stared at your face?โ
โYeah.โ
The young man stared at Leon for a moment, then huffed.
โ....Head.โ
โHead?โ
โHe saw right through you, with your clean head, that you were in disguise.โ
โ...... Ahh.โ
Rion touched his head โ the clean scalp underneath the shag โ and was equally flabbergasted.
โThatโs why I thought there was something about it.โ
โThereโs not much of anything. We just wanted to observe the person referred as Prince.โ
โBut we got ten times the money. Apparently, heโs a bigger fish than we thought, his highness.โ
The two young men stared at the Thirteenth Princeโs residence from the shadows.
Though Noah had offered 1000 reens to catch one interesting man.
The act was contrary to his expectations.
Two promising young men had been caught. | ใใ ใฃใใๅ้กใชใใ ใใๆๅพ

I followed John and came to the front gate of the official residence.
There, at the end of the bonfire, a familiar woman was waiting with a servant in tow.
Mary.
She is the girl I once rescued from the slavers, and she is now Johnโs wife, and until she got out, she was also my retainer, just like her husband.
Mary knelt in front of me, bowing flat on the ground.
I had pointed this out to John because of his status as a public figure, but Mary had no official position, so she simply bowed inwardly as a servant.
Behind Maryโs back, the servants were surprised.
-Why is Mistress doing this? Who is this man?
I could clearly see that they were thinking like that,
We have been expecting you, Master.
โAt ease. I would have preferred a short ceremony.โ
In any etiquette, there are formal and informal ones.
Mary attended with a very formal version of the etiquetteโa full course of manners if you will.
So I told her I was fine with the simpler, abbreviated version, but Mary kept her hands and knees on the ground and only raised her face.
โIt cannot be! I only get to see the master once every few years or so. So please let me do this when we can meet. I canโt sleep at night because I feel guilty if I donโt do right by the master to whom I owe so much!โ
โIs that how it is?โ
โYes.โ
โThenโJohn.โ
I turned around and called his name.
โYes!โ
โThere will be times when you will have to come to Capital on official business to seek an audience with me. When you do, bring Mary with you as a couple. โThat way we can see each other from time to time, right?โ
โThank you very much.โ
John bowed hurriedly, and Mary bowed again in a calm manner.
Compared to John, who still has some boyish composure, Mary seems to have acquired the composure of an adult woman.
Mary stood up quietly, took a step back, and with a half-step, gave me the way to the official residence,
โPlease come in, My Lord.โ
โUmu.โ
I nodded and went inside.
John and Mary followed behind me as I walked out, and Johnโs servants followed right behind them with puzzled looks on their faces. Peiyu followed silently from the very back.
We entered the official residence and were first ushered into what looked like a parlor.
โ......Houโ
I let out an unintentional gasp as I entered the room.
The moment I entered the room, I felt as if I had stepped into a different world.
Even though it was nighttime, the room was brightly lit, and there was incense burning that I could tell from one whiff of it.
The sofa on which I would be sitting was richly decorated with embroidery, and fresh fruit was placed on the table in front of it.
It was a very hospitable atmosphere that anyone could see.
โIโm sorry, this is all we can offer here. I know itโs not as much as the capital can offer, but Iโll do my best to make up for it.โ
โHere here, Master, this way please.โ
John and Mary led me over to the sofa.
Not only did it look good, but it was a nice sofa with plenty of padding.
I sat down and looked around the room.
โ ............. what about the money?โ
I asked John and Mary.
They both looked embarrassed.
โYour salary wouldnโt cover this kind of entertainment. If you are not careful, you could lose a yearโs salary in an instant.โ
The salary of a low-ranking official in the Empire is not very high.
Thatโs something Iโll get around to eventually, but for now, letโs talk about John.
โItโs okay on that front.โ
โHouu?โ
โI borrowed it from a merchant in town. I wrote an IOU. And promised to pay it back by the end of my term.โ[TN: For those not familiar with IOU, itโs an abbreviation for โI owe youโ. And a written promise that you will pay back some money that you have borrowed.]
โFumu.โ
โDonโt worry, Master. We understand it perfectly. We will not suck it out of the people.โ
Mary followed up with John.
The two were born and raised in a village so poor that they were originally slaves and were sold into slavery.
Even if they made a mistake, they would never exploit the people, and I had carefully watched them and sent them out as my retainers.
I was not mistaken in my judgment, but I did not think they would go into debt to host me.
โNow, now, master, let me take off your shoes.โ
Mary said and knelt at my feet.
Then she reverently took off the shoes I was wearing.
After removing my shoes, she received a tub of water from a young servant standing behind her.
Then washed my feet.
Ever since I was at the residence of the Thirteen Prince, when I came home at night, I let the servant wash my feet to relieve my fatigue.
This is something that everyone does, and just washing my feet and giving them a simple massage after a day of walking takes away a lot of the fatigue, so I was a bit confused right after my reincarnation, but eventually, I started having the servants do it as usual.
Mary washed my feet, just as she did when I was at the Imperial Palace.
Behind her, there were other servants.
Especially in the cases of Princes and above those, only servants of a certain rank are allowed to serve you or directly serve you.
In this case, Mary, who was also my maid, is the equivalent.
To put it bluntly, other servants are โnot qualified to serveโ.
This is something that nobles understand as a matter of course, but it is difficult for commoners to understand.
Even now, Maryโs servants were making faces like, โWhy is the mistress acting like such a servant?โ ?
After showing my feet for a while,
โPeiyuโ
โY-Yes!โ
I called her, and she scurried over to my side.
โPaper and pen.โ
โYes!โ
She took a piece of paper and a pen out of her baggage, which she carried close to her, and handed them to me.
I took it and scribbled it on the table.
Understanding the flow of the writing, she then presented me with my seal โ the seal of the Emperor.
I took it and stamped it on the paper.
With this, the Imperial Rescript was ready, albeit in an unofficial form.
I handed it to John.
โTake it.โ
โWhatโs this?โ
โMake sure that the amount spent on my entertainment is properly billed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Iโve written it down so that youโll be billed for it.โ
John screamed.
Mary was frozen in the same position she had been in while wiping my feet after washing them.
โIโm sorry! If anything is missing, Iโll have the staff come and get it right away.โ
โItโs the opposite.โ
โEh?โ
โMy hospitality is not something that you should have to borrow money for. I have received your filial piety. Thatโs fine.โ
โMaster ......โ
โMaster is indeed an amazing person......โ[TN: Ah yes, the missing ingredient.......]
John and Mary were moved and their eyes were moistened.
โWell ......, letโs head to the bedroom. Weโll talk tomorrow.โ
โUnderstood!โ
The couple nodded simultaneously.
Then Mary started to lead the servants.
The properly-trained servants moved briskly following Maryโs orders.
โI-Iโm just a maidโโ
Maryโs servants treated Peiyu as a guest, and Peiyu began to panic.
โDonโt worry, youโre our junior, which means youโre superior to these girls.โ
John said.
Peiyu was still anxiously casting me a helpful glance but,
I smiled back at her.
โSo be it. Youโre my maid, and you donโt have to be polite to anyone else.โ
โY-yes. John-san, Mary-san, itโs a pleasure to meet you.โ
Perhaps a little comforted by my words, Peiyu accepted the situation.
And I, too, had Mary show me to the bedroom.
There, too, the bedding was expensive, but I left it alone without bothering to point it out.
Mary and the servant who had followed me to the end left the room, leaving me alone in the room.
{Lord, may I have a word?}
โUm? Whatโs wrong, Livyathan?โ
The moment I was alone, Livyathan spoke to me.
โItโs rare for you to speak to me.โ
{Apologies. I decided it would be better to keep it in the Lordโs ear.}
โFumu?โ
Sitting on the bed, I nodded slightly and urged onward.
{There was one of the servants who was very hostile to the Lord,}
โOhh, you mean the little intelligent girl, right?โ
I nodded, remembering the impressive girl behind Mary.
Her age was or โ no, given what John and Mary did, the girl must have come from a poor village, so she could have been 5 or 16 if you take stunted growth into account.
That child has always been hostile toward me.
But she hid her hostility well.
She had the eyes of a thoughtful person, not the eyes of someone who can only see immediate things.
{As expected of the Lord, you have noticed.}
โWith that much hostility directed at me, I would have noticed.โ | ใธใงใณใซใคใใฆ่กใฃใฆใๅฎ้ธใฎๆญฃ้ๅใซใใฃใฆใใใ

{What do you intend to do with the girl? At your order, I could slightly make her realize her position.}
โYou are always so fussy.โ
I laughed out loud.
โLet it go, and donโt worry about all this hostility, which is neither poison nor medicine.โ
{ But it .......}
โThereโs nothing wrong with it in the first place. Even if the hostility did turn into action, could it ever get past your defenses?โ
{Not even in the unlikely event.}
Livyathan answered immediately.
โThen thereโs no problem. Youโre the one protecting me.โ
Livyathan replied.
Although the voice is only audible in my brain and has no form, the tone of its reply is such that I can almost see it kneeling before me, trembling with emotion.
Livyathan, who has a temperamental personality that fluctuates wildly and is more agitated than others, reacts greatly in such situations.
I slept soundly that night.
The more vulnerable I was, the more I trusted Livyathan, so I decided to relax and sleep more soundly than usual. | ใใใฎๅจใใฉใๅฆใใใใใคใใใ ใใใใใ็จๅฝใจใใใฐใ่บซใฎ็จใ่ปฝใๆใ็ฅใใไบใๅฏ่ฝใงใใใ

At night, I was quietly standing in a place where I could a short distance from the riverbank, overlooking it.
I was now acting alone after separating from Zoe, and donโt have to be so attentive or concerned anymore, and I use all my strength to hide my presence.
Usually hiding in the bushes is the way, but alone, I canโt be noticed unless Iโm standing directly in front of them.
So, I was observing what they were doing.
The pier on the riverbank has a huge bonfire burning, and the light around it is so bright that it looks as if it is daytime.
The reason why it was so bright was because of the loading operation.
A large number of boats are moored at the pier, and a large number of laborers are loading jute bags filled with something into the boats.
The fully loaded boat leaves the port, and a new boat arrives and loads the jute bags onto it.
The jute bags are filled with salt.
Since I started monitoring the situation, enough salt has been loaded and taken away to feed tens of thousands of people.
โI guess they couldnโt wait much longer.โ
I chuckled.
The smuggling that couldnโt be done because of my presence, resumed immediately after my death.
I couldnโt help but chuckle, expecting that I might have to wait a day or two to see what happened.
โLeviathan.โ
(โ)
The reply I got back from Leviathan was a strong โleave it to meโ.
With this, the evidence was secured.
Dusselโs salt sales and transportation are taxed, so they are always required to report detailed figures.
I have them report those figures, including the most recent ones, to me from the Imperial Capital.
I donโt need to compare the details of the situation in front of me.
It is far more than ten times the normal sales and transportation.
This situation itself was already a piece of evidence.
To get further evidence, I headed for a houseboat that was parked a short distance away.
Amidst the large number of boats transporting cargo, the houseboat was not far away, and I could even hear the sound of pleasure in the wind.
Approaching the boat, I strapped Fuwawaโs string to the boat itself.
Then, via the boat and the thread, I heard the voice.
[This is enough for , reens. Weโre talking about reaching 500,000 by tomorrow morning.]
[Carrying this much at once. Is it going to be fine?]
[Donโt worry, weโve received black market clearance from Olcott, so thereโs no way weโll be stopped on the way.]
[Itโs going to be all right].
Two guys were exchanging information.
One of them was thoughtful about the situation, while the other one was a bit of a rush guy.
[The Emperor may send a new one. We have to do as much we can in the time between the death of the current one and the arrival of the new one.]
[......Thatโs right.]
The calm man was persuaded.
I guess he had a point.
Considering that an Imperial envoy was sent to investigate the situation rather than the Emperor himself, it is more than conceivable that a new person will be dispatched because of his sudden death.
Until that person arrives, it should take 20 days of back-and-forth information, the Emperorโs decision, the new envoyโs travel, and other factors.
20 days can be considered long enough, yet also short.
It is the right decision to use this time to fight the next opponent and make a big show of it.
[Rest assured, we will let you know as soon in case there is any problem. The 10th Prince was very fond of the women I sent last time.]
I heard the voice of the third man.
Depending on their position, people change their tone of voice and use of language.
The third manโs voice clearly seemed to think he was above the other two.
[You have done well to gather them all.]
[If His Highness likes them, itโs nothing.]
[His Highness likes it no problem. No, Great men always have a great fondness for sensual pleasure. I have gathered more and will send them tomorrow.]
The first two men switched to a tone of encouragement.
Apparently, the man was a retainer of the 10th Prince, Dustin.
Dustin has always been famous for his love of women, and in a sense, he even has the reputation of having the most potent blood of His Majesty the Previous Emperor.
During the knight selection process, he demanded a lap pillow, and it was Sheryl who intervened and stopped him from doing so.
Dustin huh, I guess that means heโs bribing women, not money.
โ......โ
I kind of regretted it.
I didnโt want to hear this story.
Or rather, I didnโt want to hear the rest of the story.
Cutting the cord, I decided to charge in.
I kicked the ground, leaped, and smashed through the window of the houseboat.
โWho!โ
Before the two conspirators could do anything, Dustinโs retainerโs head was in the air.
[Well Done!]
I heard Bahamut applaud.
In the split second that I was in there, I pulled out Leviathan and decapitated the guy, which in itself wasnโt much of a feat.
It wasnโt enough to make Bahamut applaud.
That applause was for my judgment.
Iโm here to get my salt tax back this time around.
If it turns out that Dustin is involved here, he will have to be punished as well.
That is, at worst, a death sentence.
It would be too important if it comes to taking the 10th Princeโs head as well.
So I pretended I hadnโt heard that and slashed Dustinโs retainer before anything more could come out of it.
Bahamut understood that in an instant and applauded me.
Well, it doesnโt matter โ and I turned to face the two men.
The two young men, one of whom was still very surprised, the other looked as if he had guessed what was going on.
โIโm here to investigate the salt tax.โ
โWhat! โHey!โ
The surprised, short-tempered man stood up and motioned to the outside of the boat.
Instantly there was a flurry of activity outside, and I heard the noise of boats scrambling away.
โI see, you were prepared for this huh.โ
โYou are right about being prepared, donโt worry about that.โ
The short-tempered man said that and the calm one laughed.
โItโs a shame that youโre not dead, but I didnโt expect you to be. Now you have no proof.โ
โYou really think there isnโt?โ
โThe boat will sink some distance away. Itโs salt thatโs sinking, and once itโs in the river, all the evidence will be wiped clean.โ
โI see. Youโve thought this through.โ
โ......โ
The calm oneโs eyebrows twitched.
He looked as if he felt something about the fact that I was calm.
I held up the leviathan to indicate that he was right.
โWhat are you going to do?โ
โIโm going to get the evidence back. Leviathan.โ
(!!!)
A strong emotion flowed from Leviathan, โIโve been waiting for this!โ .
He seemed excited.
From the moment he found out that I had been poisoned for assassination, Leviathan, a loyal and mad dog, showed a great deal of emotion.
When I quieted him down and gave him another task, Leviathan did it happily and above all with all his might.
I hear a sound.
The sounds of ships sailing on the water, and the rustling of humans, in great numbers.
โWhatโs going on!?โ
The man shouted, and a man who looked like a subordinate rushed in from outside the houseboat.
โD-Disaster! The boats are all turning back.โ
โWhat! Get them away from us now!โ
โAbout that! Theyโve lost control of the ship.โ
โWhat!?โ
The guy looks at me, then goes โhuhโ and stares at me.
โIs this your doing!?โ
โYeah. Once you control the flow of the river, itโs easy to bring the ship back.โ
โNonsense! How is that possible?โ
โAmazing ......, that much power. May I ask your name?
Thanks to Leviathan, I could say that the evidence was completely secured, so I decided to tell him my name again.
With Leviathanโs power, I created a Coat of Arms designed as a ship with water before them putting even more pressure on their consciousness to strongly appeal to me.
The pressure gives the impression that I am the emperor.
โI am Noah Ararat, Empireโs Emperor.โ
โWhaโ!โ
โY-Your Majesty, .......โ
Both men were speechless.
The name through the power of the Demon Sword is the name that makes you believe that the other party is the โEmperorโ even if you have no proof.
This is settledโis what I thought.
โI donโt care if heโs the emperor or not!โ
the man shouted, signaling to the outside.
โCome on! Come onn!
The next moment, armed men rushed in from outside the boat, one after another.
In the blink of an eye, they filled the houseboat and surrounded the outside as well.
โThat man is a traitor impersonating the name of His Majesty!โ
โCatch him at ......, no, kill him.โ
Even the Calm one was angry and ordered his men to kill me.
(โYes)
Leviathanโs intention flow through.

I think I heard it in words, though dimly.
Leviathan seemed to be awakening, like Bahamut, whom it considers its rival, due to the high tension and the fact that it had done something that was at the level of breaking the limit, taking control of the entire river.
Then, I decided to wield Leviathan.
A quick grasp.
About 100 people were surrounding me, and 200 more were on the other side of the pier.
I swung my demon sword at them.
The light blue light of the sword on the river at night was fantastic and beautiful, and every time it passed by, blood-splattered and screams filled the air.
Like a storm, blood rained where I passed.
A feeling of joy flowed from Leviathan each time.
It took me less than five minutes to defeat two hundred people, thanks to Leviathanโs high spirits.
โA-amazing ......!โ
โM-monster!โ
Only two remained at the end.
One had an extremely moving look on his face, while the other was shaking uncontrollably from the waist down. | ใใผใใใชใใใ่จ่ใง่ใใใใใใชๆฐใใใใ

After receiving the order of the Minister of Justice in the audience hall and the morning assembly was dismissed, I came to the Ministry of Justice on my feet.
The building of the Ministry of Justice is located one street over from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
It was a building that I had glimpsed every morning when I was assisting my brother Henry.
When I entered the Ministry of Justice grounds and got off the carriage, dozens of officials were waiting for me, bowing to me in neatly coordinated movements, as if the letter of appointment had already been handed down.
A middle-aged man in the middle of the crowd, the only one who didnโt bow, stepped forward, knelt down, and bowed to me.
โI have been expecting you, Your Highness.โ
โI suppose you have already heard the story.โ
โOf course, Your Highness.โ
โThen guide me to my room. Explanation can....... Whatโs your name?โ
โMy name is Vinnie Aussie. Iโm the Vice Minister of Justice.โ
โSecond in command?โ
The vice-minister is a position under the minister that deals with practical matters.
Vinnie is a little over forty years old, from the looks of it.
At that age, this position is quite a career move.
Guided by Vinnie, I entered the Ministry of Justice building and was led straight to the Ministerโs office.
The Ministerโs office at the Ministry was similar to the one at the Ministry of Military Affairs, and I felt at home as soon as I entered the room.
I sat down in the Ministerโs chair and faced Vinnie one-on-one.
โSo, what do I have to do at the Ministry of Justice? Just give me a quick rundown up to the moment.โ
โYes, sir. The Ministry of Justice is the body that organizes the courts throughout the empire and is the place where trials in the imperial capital are actually conducted. As you know, there are a lot of noblemen in the imperial capital, and as in the previous rebellionโโ
Then Vinnie broke off and looked at me.
Apparently, he knows about the revolt in Almeria six years ago, and that I was involved in it.
โIt is customary for serious crimes such as rebellion and treason to be brought to the Imperial Capital and judged by the Ministry of Justice or His Majesty in person.โ
โI see. So youโre saying that this place usually acts like an ordinary court?โ
Vinnie bows his head politely.
Well, I know about that.
I still have memories of my previous life, you know.
So, I cut right to the chase based on those memories.
โ Do you judge too?โ
โIn some cases.โ
โHow much bribe money do you take?โ
โEnough.โ
Interrupting Vinnie by holding out my hand.
โI have no intention of pursuing this. I want to know whatโs really going on. Iโll forget what youโve just told me as soon as we leave this room. Just tell me the truth.โ
โ...... As expected of His Highness the โWiseโ.โ
Vinnie bowed deeply and then spoke.
โI havenโt taken that much. In a yearโsomething like a few hundred reens.โ[TN: to be honest, I am really not getting the economy of this novel, the average income is reens, is it my sense of money that is bad or something else, I donโt know?]
โFumu.โ
โItโs because Iโm very particular. Others who are not so particular take ten times as much as I do.โ
โI donโt take murder cases.โ
โWhy not?โ
โBecause the accuser holds a grudge, itโs easy to expose, and if the accused wants revenge, thereโs no way to get it back. I receive some money for cases that are appropriate, cases that could go either way.โ
I took a piece of paper from the ministerโs desk and scribbled some words on it.
I toss it to Vinnie.
โThis is .......โ
โ Assuming you take five hundred a year, Iโll give you ten times, that is, five thousand. Youโll have to stop doing that while Iโm here. I want to live up to His Majestyโs expectations. And I need your help.โ
โ......โ
Vinnieโs eyes went wide, but eventually, my words and meaning seemed to sink in.
โI now understand why His Majesty gave you the title of โWise Priceโ at the age of six and appointed you to become Minister of Justice.โ
โReally?โ
โYes, I admire the way you handled it. Itโs impressive indeed.โ
Vinnie handed the note back to me and bowed deeply.
โI donโt want any extra money, and I wonโt take any more bribes. Let me work for you, Your Highness.โ
He said to me.
Normally, I would have questioned his sincerity.

[TN: His Intelligence went from F+F to F+E, and MP from F to F+F]
My MP and Intelligence โ+โ in the statuses visible in the corner of my eye have increased.
The more subordinates I have, the more the numbers after the โ+โ go up.
At least at this moment, I knew that Vinnie really wanted to work for me, as he had declared.
At night, the Eighth Princeโs residence โ Brother Oscarโs mansion.
While I was listening to various stories at the Ministry of Justice, a messenger from Brother Oscar came to congratulate me on my appointment as a minister and asked me to come to his mansion.
There was no reason for me to refuse, so I listened to what he had to say and came here.
Brother Oscar had set up a banquet hall in the garden.
The garden was as bright as if it was daytime, with hundreds of lanterns lit up.
The main table was in the middle of the room, and an orchestra was playing a little further away.
I was the only one invited to the party, but Brother Oscar spent a lot of money and manpower.
โThank you, brother. To think that you would celebrate in such a big way.โ
โNo need to thank me, Iโm happy too. We are talking about the second person as the Prince to be appointed as the Minister during His Majestyโs reign over fifty-years. And since itโs Noah, we have to celebrate even more, donโt we ......?โ
โI appreciate it very much.โ
After a toast with Brother Oscar, the servants of the Eighth Princeโs residence brought in the food one after another.
They were not placed on the table.
There were about twenty of them, each holding a platter with a different dish, surrounding our table in the distance.
And they were going around in circles.
It was the traditional banquet food of the empire.
If we liked any of the dishes that were being passed around, we could call them off and the servants would serve them to us on small plates.
For the rest of the time, they were circling around us, holding the food and keeping it on โdisplayโ.
โBut really, what a blessing!โ
โIs that soโ.
โHmm? Whatโs the matter, Noah, with that funny look on your face? Whatโs troubling you?โ
โIโm just wondering why His Majesty has suddenly appointed the Imperial Princes as Minsters one after another.โ
โIsnโt it becauseโ- Noah is cute?
Oscar said with a teasing look on his face.
You can certainly think so.
The Minister of Military Affairs is my brother Henry, and he was appointed because of the rebellion that took place in my territory of Almeria.
And the Minister of Justice is me.
You could say itโs because heโs favoring me and patronizing me.
But ...... was it really the case?
โIs there something bothering you?โ
Oscar put down his drink and stared straight at me.
โAs you know brother, the empire has a history of near destruction, then a history of rebirth, then a history of major changes in the imperial system.โ
โYeah. Until then, no one except the crown prince would do anything. As a prince, he spent his days luxuriating and playing around. So everyone except the crown prince, who had studied political affairs in order to succeed to the throne, was incompetent, and thatโs why the empire almost collapsed.โ
โBecause of this, the empire now provides the Prince with a royal title when he is born and gives him a feudal domain and a certain amount of training.โ
As I said that, Oscar and I nodded at each other.
The current state of the empire, so to speak, we recap the preliminary discussion.
โWhatโs wrong with that?โ
โDonโt you think the current situation is one step beyond that?โ
โ...... No way!โ
Oscar was grandly startled and stood up, knocking over his chair with a clatter.
The circle of people serving the food stopped, as well as the orchestra stopped playing.
In the silence, Oscar stared at me.
โDonโt tell me... replacement of the Crown Prince?โ
โI donโt know, it may be, it may not be. As long as it was just His Majesty adoring me, there is no problem.โ
Oscar sat back in the chair the servant had fixed and smiled.
โAs expected, such a thing....โ
โYour Highness?โ
Oscar was about to say something.
Then, another servant โ one dressed as a butler โ arrived.
When the man whispered to Oscar, his complexion changed.
After a while, the butler finished his report and quietly left.
โWhatโs the matter, brother?โ
โAs you said. Noah, amazing.โ
โEh?โ
โThe eunuch Iโm bribing told me. It seems I will be appointed as the Minister of Finance at tomorrowโs morning assembly.โ

Both Oscar and I were speechless.
Oscarโs appointment as minister.
That was clearly out of me being favored.
โWell, for now.โ
โEh?โ
โLetโs toast to congratulate Noah and to his deduction โ.
I also shifted my mind and made a toast with Oscar for now.
While Oscar and Noah were having their slightly unenthusiastic celebration party.
On the roof of the royal palace, about meters above the ground, in the garden.
In the midst of the empireโs pride and joy, there were two old men in the garden.
One was the emperor, the supreme power of this empire.
The other was the First Vizier, the emperorโs long-time confidant, who had been in charge of the emperorโs affairs for many years.
The emperor was looking up at the moon in the garden, while the First Vizier was carefully reading a report behind him.
โโ-We have captured one hundred and sixty-seven people, including Keets.โ
โThe confession was in accordance with the excuse we had obtained in advance, that His Majesty would be forced to abdicate the throne, and then the Crown Prince would take the throne.โ
โI see. Fifty years of reign, and forty-five years of the Crown Prince... can we wait any longer?โ
โPlease note, there is no evidence that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince was directly involved in any of this โ none that you will find.โ
Both Openly and Secretly.
The first vizier gave his evidence and his words as a confidant.
โI know. That is why I will not do anything to Albert. Execute Keats and be done with it.โ
The First Vizier said nothing.
He did not say a single unnecessary word to the emperor.
He always tries to be fair and does not interfere.
This is the biggest reason why he has been the First Vizier for more than twenty-five years of the Emperorโs fifty-year reign.
โWhat happened to the matter of leaking the letter of appointment to Oscar?
โEarlier, I sent for the eunuch who receives coins from His Highness on a daily basis. Apparently, His Highness had already guessed it.โ
โHoh?โ
โHis Highness Noah was there.โ
โHoh, hoh.......โ
The emperorโs face, which had been gloomy earlier, brightened.
โSo youโre saying that Noah was aware of my intentions?โ
โYes, the eunuch associated with the Eighth Princeโs residence reported as such.โ
โFufu, as expected. Impressive as always, Noah.โ
The emperor was excited. His face was that of a father who dotes on his child.
But it was only for a moment.
The emperor, without his child in front of him and alone with his confidant, immediately returned to his normal, emperor-like face.
โNeither Gilbert nor Albert.......โ

As a father, the emperor was sweet.

I called Don, the Fourth Chancellor, into my study at the Palace.
As usual, I was seated, and Don was standing across the desk from me.
And I told him that I was going to check on Gabel.
โIโm going to create a diversion so they donโt find out.โ
โDiversion ......, sir?โ
โYeah. Thereโs no need to do it, I can see that, but just in case.โ
โ I see ....... and What kind of diversion?โ
โUsing the Vacation home.โ
โThe vacation home .......โ
Don tilted his head and pondered.
โThe Summer Vacation home that was renovated for previous Emperor. Iโll take the Empress there.โ
โI see. If thatโs the case, then it would be best to take the โEmperor Palanquinโ there.โ[TN: โ็ฅ่ผฟโ mikoshi says portable shrine but, ็ฅ can also be used for addressing Emperor, and ่ผฟ means palanquin/litter which is something like a carriage carried by people. Thus instead of saying portable shrine, I used Emperor Palanquin]
When the Emperor officially leaves the capital, there are rules governing the size of the procession and so on, depending on the purpose.
For the most important official events, such as ceremonies, a โEmperor Palanquinโ consisting of , people is required.
Next is the 0-member โBig Palanquinโ. This is used, for instance, to transport a victorious army to the outskirts of the capital.
Finally, there is the โCavalry Palanquinโ. The scale of this is about 100 people, and it is used when going out to explore the countryside.
Incidentally, there is a remnant of the โWarrior Nationโ here as well, and it is a tradition passed down from our ancestors to ride a horse wherever you go.
From those three, Don proposed the largest scale of diversion, a large-scale โEmperor Palanquinโ.
โNot โCavalry Palanquinโ, โno, letโs scale it smaller than that.โ
โEven ......smaller than that, my lord?โ
โYes. I went to the Vacation home secretly. Make it that way. Letโs use โCavalry Palanquinโ to go somewhere even more irrelevant.โ
Don stared at me for a few moments.
โBehind the scenesโsirโ
โThatโs right.โ
Don looked at me with respect.
โThen, letโs get to it.โ
โUmu.โ
I nodded, leaned back deeply in my chair, and looked up at the ceiling.
Unlike the average personโs house, the ceiling was decorated in a variety of colors.
As I gazed at it, I was lost in thought.
โSomething on your mind?โ
โItโs fine to secretly go to investigate the salt tax, but it wouldnโt be good if there wasnโt a way to quickly reveal that Iโm the Emperor at the critical moment. Thatโs what Iโve been thinking about.โ
I remembered the series of events beyond the border town, Lermo.
Although it had not become obvious at that time, it had already been a problem.
Whenever I go out in secret, there will inevitably be times when I have to reveal my identity as emperor.
At the time of the Lermo incident, the 2,000 soldiers led by Sheryl took on that role.
That was only possible because it was a border city.
In a normal town, it would be difficult to keep a large number of soldiers, and it would take a long time to rush to the scene in case of an emergency.
Running through the wilderness and navigating the intricate city would take far more time than the latter.
There is a lot of uncertainty and no immediate gratification.
I wanted something that would be instantly recognizable on the spot.
โHow about your magic sword, Your Majesty?โ
โYou mean Leviathan?โ
โYes. Itโs unique in appearance, and itโs one of a kind.โ
I pulled the Leviathan out of my bracelet and pulled it out.
The bare blade of the sword is trailing a light blue light.
As Don mentioned, it has a distinctive look, and itโs probably the only one on this world.
โItโs fine, but what if there are only people who donโt know about Leviathan?โ
โMmm. ......โ
Don was at a loss for words.
No matter how leviathan is, itโs not necessarily well-known all over the world.
โI want something that if I show it to a hundred people, hundred of them knows- I am the Emperor.โ
โThatโs .......โ
Donโs brow furrowed.
โ ...... something, I doubt is possible to be found.โ
โ......Umu.โ
I think Donโs right about that.
โSomething that 100 out of 100 people agree canโt really be possible. Maybe we should compromise a little.โ
โ......hmm?โ
โNo such thing as ...... thing....โ
As I mumbled this over and over, a thought flashed through my mind.
After picturing the thing in concrete form in my mind.
โWhat can I do?โ
I raised my bracelet and asked the guys in it.
Leviathan.
Bahamut.
Behemoth.
Fuwawa.
Apophis.
Ziz.
I asked the non-human beings following me.
And the first to respond was Leviathan.
Unlike Bahamut, there were no clear words, but rather emotions that flowed directly into my brain, strongly reflecting things other than words.
This includes human possession, which I devised just before.
Recently, itโs only Bahamut.
I could feel Leviathanโs competitive spirit.
โCan you do it?โ
I asked further, Leviathanโs fierce emotions strongly insisting that it was could be done.
I looked at Don.
He knew I was talking to Leviathan and the others because I was holding up my bracelet, but he didnโt join in the conversation, he just watched at me.
I asked Don to help me with the experiment.
Closing my eyes, I imagined...
Something that symbolizes me.
People are treasures.
Something to hold all of that treasure.
Leviathan, the water demon sword.
Something to carry people and treasure in water.
โA ship.
With the power of water, I drew a coat of arms in the air in front of me with the design of an ark that could carry and protect a large number of people and treasure.
At the same time, I intimidated them with Leviathan.
It was not forceful intimidation like the previous ones.
I put Don to the test with a strong pressure that appealed to his consciousness.
โHaha!โ
Don knelt down on the spot.
Immediately afterward, he let out an โahโ.
It was as if what he had just done was half a reflex, half his body moving on its own.
โVery good, sir!โ
Don drops to his knees and utters his greatest words of praise yet.
He looked up and turned to me, his face a mixture of excitement.
โThe pressure right now, my consciousness has clearly recognized that itโs the Emperor.โ
โItโs a Success.โ
In the past, Leviathanโs intimidation was based on pure murderous intent or hostility to subdue the opponent.
Managing it a little differently, in order to make them aware that itโs the Emperor.
With the visual emblem, it seems to work well.
I summoned Audrey and Anya to my bedroom at night.
When Gran came to ask me in the study, I turned the two dolls on their backs and responded that I would appoint both of them.[TN: if you have forgotten by now, the dolls each represent his wives and the one which is then placed on its back would be the one who gets summoned.]
After a while, the two of them, accompanied by the eunuch, will arrive.
I will be away from them for a while when I leave tomorrow, so I wanted to appoint them before that.
By the time they arrived, I was somewhat looking at my status.
Name: Noah Ararat
Empireโs Emperor
Gender: Male
Level: 17 + 1 / โ
HPC+CMPD+CStrengthC+SStaminaD+CIntelligenceD+BSpiritE+CSpeedE+CDexterityE+CLuckD+C FireE+S+SWaterC+SSWindE+CEarthE+CLight E+BDarknessE+B
My status has increased a lot since I was born, and it has become more and more complicated.
Just thinking about how it would grow in the future was fun.
In the meantime, the two of them were โdeliveredโ.
Even if you are the Empress herself, when you have a formal night, you will be naked and wrapped in a mattress and carried around by eunuchs.
No, it was more because she was an empress.
Itโs not like that if youโre just a regular member of the royal family.
It was a special treatment because she was the Emperorโs companion for the night.
The two of them were placed on the bed, and the eunuchs collected the expensive cloth used for the mattress and hurriedly left the bedroom.
I climb into bed and approach them.
Then, Audrey.
โDid you have something on your mind?โ
โHmm? Yeah, a little.โ
Audreyโs question, which came just after I had pulled her over, caught me off guard.
โI was thinking about my status. Speaking of which, what are your two statuses?โ
โIโm still at one.โ
โMineโs two because of a few reasons,โ
Anya answered shyly.
Iโm a little curious about her โreasonsโ, since sheโs a little brasher than Audrey.
I smiled and cast a status check spell on the two of them.
I donโt usually use it myself, but I do remember it.
Even as the Emperor, I would never use this magic unless I were in a bedroom, where only naked men and women were allowed.
Using it, I looked at the status of the two. | ้ขๅฎฎใฎๆธๆใซใ็ธใฎใใณใๅผใณๅบใใใ

As per their self-assessment, Audreyโs level was still 1 since birth, while Anyaโs had risen by one level to 2.
โEh?โ
But for some reason, Audreyโs voice leaked out in surprise.
โWhat is itโ
โMy level cap has increased .......โ
โWhat?โ
I looked at Audreyโs status.
Name: Audrey
Empress of the Empire
Gender: Female
Level: 1/13
HPFMPFStrengthFStaminaFIntelligenceFSpiritFSpeedFDexterityFLuckF FireFWaterFWindFEarthFLight FDarknessF
Audrey has lost her last name after the โExpulsion Ceremonyโ.
Her title is now Empress, and her status itself is at the lowest possible rank for a level 1.
Thatโs why I didnโt find anything strange about her at first glance.
However, the person in question said that her level cap limit had increased.
โIsnโt that a mistake?โ
โIt canโt be, because it was in the single digits.โ
โ...... Then it cannot be a mistake, I guess.โ
If it were small number itโs possible to misremember, but it is very difficult to misunderstand that a single-digit has become a double-digit.
โSo it really has gone up, ......? Why though?โ
โWell, Your Majesty. Maybe mine has gone up as well.โ
โMaybe?โ
โYes. ...... I donโt usually see it, so Iโm not sure.โ
Queen Consort- this is what the Consort is like.
Unless you are a knight, a soldier, or an adventurer, you are unlikely to check your status.
Aristocratic ladies, who are guarded by servants and knights and who consider it a virtue to keep their hands clean, are even more likely to do so.
โ...... Keep an eye on it from now on. If anything changes, let me know.โ
โYes.โ
โGot it.โ
As the two responded, I smiled and switched the mood.
I turned off the last light in the bedroom silently.[TN: looks like someoneโs seggs intro problem was solved, this isnโt R-18 stuff so accept it as it is]
The next morning, I woke up and told Zoe to check the status of all the maids and eunuchs.
I asked her if anyone else around me had their level cap increased, but all of the maids and eunuchs remained the same, as did the knights Shirley and Cheryl, who check their status every day.
I wondered if Audrey and Anya were mistaken.
โYour Majesty! Itโs serious.โ
Audrey and Anya burst into the study where I was deep in thought.
โWhatโs wrong?โ
โPlease have a look!โ
Audrey said, and Kate, the new maid who had accompanied her silently, cast a status check spell.
Empress of the Empire
Level: 1/14
HPFMPFStrengthFStaminaFIntelligenceFSpiritFSpeedFDexterityFLuckF FireFWaterFWindFEarthFLight FDarknessF
โMmm.โ
โIt went up, it went up again.โ
Audrey was right, her level limit was one higher than what I had seen last night.
That means โ as I looked at Anya.
โYes, mine also went up from last night.โ
Looking at my status.
My eye caught โโโ notation, which was said to be unheard of.
Is it thanks to this?
But, I am still not quite sure about that.
โIt must be that!
โThatโs really amazing, Your Majesty!
Audrey, and Anya, as well.
They were very happy about it, as they thought it was for certain. | ใใใไฝฟใฃใฆใไบไบบใฎในใใผใฟในใ็บใใใ

After the giant dragon fell, several dragons about one-tenth of its size โ but still larger than a human โ jumped out at the same time.
I turned the demon sword Livyathan around and thrust it into the ground.
The blade shined,
And from the border between the hilt and the blade, several pillars of waterโor should we say torrentsโwere shot out.
The water columns are as sharp as needles, drawn even sharper than the one that once shot the leader of the rebel army at a long distance.
One after another, they shot out between the dragonsโ brows.
The dragons were shot through the air and instantly died.
โGooooooooooooooooo!!!!โ
Heaven and earth shook.
The first gigantic dragon roared.
I was a little surprised at its life force which did not die even after its head was cut off with a single slash.
The giant dragon got up and leaped toward us.
โInsolent one.โ
A childish but dignified voice echoed quietly.
The next moment, a water dragon appeared.
The water dragon was one size larger than the giant dragon.
Livyathan.
The giant dragon was overwhelmed by the manifestation.
It shuddered and froze, unable to move either way.
After shivering, it took a step back as if to curl up its tail and run away.
โThousand Death.โ
The water dragon murmured in a low voice.
In the next moment, the giant dragonโs entire body was surrounded by water.
The water then gradually compressed along with the entire giant dragon inside.
It collapsed inside the water, burst open, and eventually disappeared.
The water became smaller and smaller with the giant dragon and disappeared completely.
โGood work.โ
โHaaโ
Livyathan, still as a water dragon, nodded its head faintly and returned to the magic sword Livyathan.
Livyathan, the loyal and mad dogโs return meant that the enemy had been wiped out.
I stowed the sword in my bracelet and turned to Evelyn.
โ.......โ
โWhatโs the matter, your eyes and mouth are a little more open than they should be.โ
โ What? Ah ....... S-sorry. Itโs so amazing, I donโt know what to say anymore.โ
โYou know what a mad dog Livyathanโ Leviathan is, donโt you?โ
โItโs not that. ...... I mean, thatโs true, too. But, Master who tamed such Livyathan to that extent is even more ...... amazing. Thereโs a big difference between seeing it in person and hearing that itโs โObeyingโ.โ
I nodded and ended the conversation there.
Then, I gazed at the ground โ at the earth to be specific.
Itโs exactly as Evelyn just said.
There is a big difference between knowing about it and actually seeing it.
After defeating the giant dragon, it became more pronounced.
I could clearly see and understand the flow of power that is visible on the earth.
Like a real river, the power flowed and gathered at one point.
Then a change appeared where there was nothing.
A drop of water fell from the empty air.
โDonโt touch it!โ
โโ!โ
I stopped Evelyn from reaching out to catch it.
โIt is the materialization of the pure power of the earth. Think of it as super-concentrated magic.โ
Evelyn hurriedly withdrew her hand.
I made a container from Fuwawa to catch the drops.
Then I processed the drops of earth into a potion, just as I had done the first time.
โIs that the ...... potion?โ
I nodded and scratched my palm with my fingernail.
The wound was deep enough to cause blood to pour out in an instant, and I poured the potion on it.[TN: If you hit yourself and it hurts, are you strong or weak?]
The wound healed in an instant.
โโ-! A-amazing!โ
โHenry said the same thing. Itโs going to change the whole concept of war.โ
โNot only that. It will change the way the world works.โ
โThatโs right. Thatโs why we need to manage it for a while. Evelyn.โ
โโ-Yes!โ
Evelynโs atmosphere, who had been a maid and an attendant until then, changed drastically.
I guessed it by the fact that I called her name again.
Like a person who hears one and knows all, she instantly realized her position and role and switched.
โIโm going to leave the management of this place to you. Manufacturing as well. Iโll teach you how to do it later.โ
โI understand.โ
Evelyn raised her hand.
Then, out of nowhere, a group of men wearing the exact same clothes appeared.
Evelyn looked over at them, half of them guarded the drops and half of them began to line the ground, digโ- and started constructing.
โAre these your men?โ
โYes. Be assured. They are all men who I have saved or assisted with their lives. They are loyal to my orders.โ
โIs thatโ?โ
โYes, I learned it from Master.โ
I chuckled slightly.
Evelyn tilted her head.
I reached out and touched Evelynโs collar.
โI was feeling nostalgic about your outfit. Now I know why.โ
โEh?โ
โYour outfit is too ordinary, too plain. Look at this collar, there are no loose threads, but the color has faded slightly from repeated washings. Itโs not something a governor would wear.โ
โAh, .......โ
Evelyn blushed.
โA-Apologies.โ
โThatโs all right. Iโll give you , reens every year from now on.โ
โEh?โ
โThe same amount as the Princeโs basic allowance.โ
โAh, ......, Master first got ......โ
Evelyn, who had been in Princeโs residence as the maid from the beginning, recalled.
โThe Ministry of Internal Affairs, which means it will come out of my own pocket. Use it as you please.โ
โBut even without suchโโ
โYou act out of loyalty to me.โ
I interrupted Evelyn, touching her collar.
โYou can live in a haze, yourself. But your people wonโt, will they?โ
โThatโs .......โ
โLet me ask you this. The loyalty you have for me. Is there anyone under you who can match that level of loyalty?โ
This is a rather mean question.
No matter how she feels about it, Evelyn canโt say โyesโ.
So Evelynโs โwordโ was as expected.
โThen raise them with money. If you have money, you can increase the number and quality, right?โ
โI understand. I promise Iโll spend it all as I please.โ
โUmu.โ
I nodded.
Then I walked away, glanced at Evelyn, and took her with me.
โAnd one more thing. As you learn more about the potionโs effects, there will definitely be some diversions.โ
Evelyn is good enough not to say โnoโ there.
โIf we know in advance, we can deal with it as much as we want. It can be prevented.โ
โNo, not that.โ
Evelyn was taken aback.
She stopped and turned to look at her after her men were far enough away that they would not hear her.
โUse it to flush them out rather than prevent them.โ
โFlush them out.โ
โItโs more profitable that way.โ
โB-But. This potion is important to Masterโs strategy. We canโt have them leaking out.โ
โPeople are treasures.โ
โIf you know beforehand, the leakage will only be a few bottles to a few dozen bottles. If that kind of damage can flush out the undesirables and make your loyal subordinates, donโt you think itโs a small price to pay?โ
โ...... I knew it, Master is amazing.โ
โThe potion which is such an extraordinary item can be used in such a way,.......โ
Evelyn looked at me with increasingly impressed eyes.
โUnderstood. I will utilize the potions and the ,00 reens per year. Iโll take care of everything.โ
I nodded and put my hand on Evelynโs head.
She used to be taller than me.
I grew up and she matured.
The height difference between us reversed completely, and I was able to put my hand on Evelynโs head like this.
โI will give you the title of Exemplary Governor, and when I get back, Iโm going to announce it in a formal letter to the whole country.โ
โ...... Yes.โ
Evelyn nodded seriously, with a serious expression.
She understood.
She was the first of the retainers to leave my mansion.
If she sets an example, there will be others who will imitate her methods.
Even if it was only to win me, the Emperor, over I would be grateful if they could copy her ways.
After all, people are treasures.[TN: Haah, this guy serious clung to that phrase huh] | ๅทจ็ซใๅใใๅพใๅๅๅบฆโโใใใงใไบบ้ใใใฏๅคงใใ็ซใไฝไฝใๅๆใซ้ฃใณๅบใใฆใใใ

However I want, huh?
I looked at Raymond, who was kneeling, and thought for a moment.
โDo you respect your father?โ
โโEh? ...... Yes, thatโs, you know.โ
He was surprised by my question, but there was no doubt that he was proud of his father, and Raymond quickly returned to a straight face and nodded clearly.
โYouโll inherit your fatherโs title as it is.โ
โโ! Thank you very much!โ
โWhat I want you to do is to continue to expand your territory.โ
โEh?โ
Raymondโs face became puzzled again as he gave me another โEh?โ.
He has the bewildered look of a man who has been tossed around.
โI mean that you should act as a bandit and continue to expand your territory.โ
โIf I may be so presumptuous, ...... why do you suggest such a thing?โ
โAre you aware that your kind of approach is unusual?โ
โ...... Yes.โ
Raymond glanced at the corpse of his companion that he had cut down, and noticing the gaze, he gave a small nod.
โItโs easy to incorporate you guys into the government army or something, but then your territory becomes a void. The newcomers might do the exact opposite.โ
โThatโs why Iโd rather have you. Then you can expand your territory by pushing out those who do things differently. ......?โ
Raymond nodded, huffing.
It seems that he understands what Iโm trying to do.
โWe are doing this as a government army, but we are still a bandit organization.โ
โSmart, thatโs what it is.โ
โBy your will.โ
โAnd I will give one honorary knighthood a year. You can decide which of your men will receive it.โ
โโโOoh!?โโโ
The minions kneeling behind Raymond were buzzing.
They all looked very happy.
โIโll supply you with provisions. I wonโt say donโt do anything at all, but donโt loot too much.โ
โYesโ
โIโll give you this, too, in case you want to make a direct appeal to me.โ
I gave him a Fuwawa box that I had prepared in advance.
As the emperor, I tweaked the exterior of the box a bit.
I used the emperorโs coat of arms and made it a little more luxurious.
โOnce it is locked, no one but me can open it. Be careful with it.โ
โFor giving me such a thing ......, thank you very much!โ
Raymond was so overcome with emotion that he rubbed his head against the ground some more.
By all accounts, it was a figure of heartfelt admiration for me.
โItโs amazing. Your Majesty.โ
Shirley, who was now alone with me again on the wagon, said in an impressed voice.
Raymondโs case has been settled, but since weโve come all this way, we decided to look around a bit more surreptitiously, so we parted ways with Raymond and Sheryl, and drove the cart down the street.
Shirley, who had watched the whole thing earlier, was extremely impressed.
โIs that so?โ
โYes! Restoring the honor is one thing, but to have it passed down is as good as it gets.โ
โItโs a long-cherished wish of most noblemen, the idea of hereditary succession.โ
Aristocrats are not afraid of death (although they can become impatient).
What they fear is losing their honor and status.
The nobleman who has built up his position with his own hands, even if only a little, will wish to inherit that position.
The son of a Prince is usually not a Prince.
The Emperor is the only one who can inherit the throne.
To inherit the throne means to be something equivalent to the Emperor.
I know this very well, having been a Prince.
โI see. Thatโs why you did it, isnโt it? You are indeed the best, Your Majesty.
โHe was a clever man, and the way he was acting, he wouldnโt hesitate to give up his life if his majesty ordered it. Your status has risen again, hasnโt it?โ[TN: She meant by his stats]
As my first knight, Shirley was also one of those who knew the details of my โ+โ.
โYeah, it went up.โ
โI knew it! Itโs amazing how your power rises with the ...... people you follow, and more and more I believe that you were born to be the Emperor.โ
It may be so, it may not.
But there is no doubt that I have the aptitude for it.
We drove the carriage for half a day.
When the land was dyed by the sunset, we reached a large village.
โThereโs a lot of activities going on here.โ
โYeah, some sort of festival?โ
From a distance, it looked like a village, not a city.
In a city, it would be bustling with activity on a daily basis, but in a village, for better or worse, the daily routine is usually peaceful.
However, the villagers were moving around quite noisily.
If it were a village, one would first imagine a harvest festival or something.
โMaybe weโve come at a good time.โ
I nodded and entered the village.
At the entrance, Shirley stopped a villager and asked,
โExcuse me, do you have an inn here? And if not, is there anywhere else we can stay for the night?โ
The person who stopped him was a middle-aged woman.
She took one look at us on the carriage.
โAre you a merchant? I donโt have that much to say. But, thereโs an inn about half a dayโs ride north of here, you can stay there. If you leave now, youโll be just in time.โ
โHaah, .......โ
Shirley was puzzled by what she saw.
It is quite unusual for a village like this to say they have nowhere to stay.
โThere is somethingโโ
I opened my mouth, but the woman didnโt even listen to me and walked quickly towards the back of the village.
She seemed to be in a hurry, as if in a dire situation.
โWhat should we do, Master?โ
Not knowing if there would be anyone else around, Shirley changed the way she called me again so that I would not be recognized.
At the same time, she seemed to have noticed something as well.
โWhat do you want?โ That woman had that kind of expression on her face when we asked.
โLetโs see what happens.โ
Shirley nodded and composed herself.
As the carriage continued on, we could vaguely see it in the distance.
A simple platform had been built in the open space of the village and was set up like an altar.
On top of the altar, a young girl lay bound hand and foot, gagged and bedraggled.
The residents of the village are gathered around her.
One of the residents, an old man with a cane and a trembling gait, stepped forward.
โAll of you. Today, at this time. I dedicate Raina to our god Kala.โ
The villagers were silent, listening to the old manโs speech.
โIโve known Raina since she was a child. She is like a daughter to me. However, she was violated by a stranger. We cannot leave such an unclean body in the village. Therefore, I offer her to the God Kala to purify her soul.โ
The old man said, then turned and faced the altar.
โ O God Kala... Please cleanse us of our filth!
โโโO God Kala!โโโ
After the old manโs words, the villagers shouted in unison.
I got the gist of it. Itโs disgusting.
โMaster.โ
I said to Shirley and jumped out of the carriage.
The villagers noticed me and tried to stop me, but I ignored them and continued on my way.
โHalt that ritual!โ
I stood in front of the altar, shouting loud enough for all the villagers to hear.
โWho are you?โ
The village headman stared at me, trembling.
โ It doesnโt matter who I am. I demand that you stop this ritual right now.โ
โYouโre a stranger. Stay out of it.โ
โThatโs right, thatโs right!โ
โWhat do you know about it!โ
โWill you be responsible for the destruction of this village!โ
The villagers are shouting at me.
โTravelers!โ
The old man told me in a quiet but insistent tone.
โLook at the mountain behind you on the right.โ
โThe mountain?โ
I turned and looked at the mountain he said was behind me.
In the sunset, I noticed a peculiar shape.
โItโs missing, isnโt it? Thatโs the mark of the god Kala, who chewed it up.โ
I understood only after he said that.
The strange shapes on the mountain seemed to be the marks of a giant creature that had chewed them up.
โThatโs why you make offerings to such monsters, so as not to anger them?โ
โOh, ......, how dare you!โ
The old man staggered as if he were dizzy, probably because his belief in this โGod Kalaโ was called a monster.
But it didnโt matter.
โThe act of sacrificing a human being is forbidden by Imperial Law , whichโโ
Booom!
Before I could finish, there was a huge sound and the earth shook.
โHere they come!โ
โItโs God Kala!โ
The villagers all turned pale at once.
When I turned my head to follow his gaze, I saw a huge monster behind the altar.
It was some kind of dragon, but it had two long necks.
Its eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, giving it a very atmospheric look. | ๅฆไฝๆงใซใใใใ

As it approached the altar, its gaze drifted to the girl lying on the floor.
โFumu.โ
I ran up to the altar.
โStop it!โ
I ran further up the stairs, overcoming the old manโs restraint.
โ Anything I can do?โ
I asked as I ran up.
Leviathan answered most strongly.
โAll right, then, you. Leviathan!โ
I pulled out a water demon sword from my bracelet.
Running up to the altar, I jumped over the trembling girl with her eyes tightly closed and pounced on this God Kala.
It opened its huge mouth and tried to chomp down on me.
โToo late!โ
I twisted my body to dodge the biteโa flash!
With a leviathan, I chopped the two heads off.
Boom ...... Booom!
The head falls off, and the torso falls to the ground without power.
โBahamut.โ
I burned the body with flames, just to be sure.
Whether it was cramping or stiffening, I couldnโt tell, but the dragonโs corpse was engulfed in flames and rapidly becoming charred.
I put Leviathan away and returned to the altar.
And then I helped the still shivering girl up.
โItโs all right now.โ
โ...... Eh.โ
The girl still didnโt know what had happened.
But when she saw the corpse of the god Kala in flames, she was so surprised that her eyes widened to the point that her nape of the neck split open.
I picked the girl up and walked down the altar with her.
The villagers, including the old man, were puzzled.
โWeโll be taking this girl.โ
At night, in the girlโs house.
There were three of us, me, Shirley, and the girl.
I sat down and listened to the girlโs story while drinking the tea that was served.
The first half of the story was a common one.
There was a monster near the village, and it was revered as a local deity.
The second half was a disgusting story.
A young girl is โdefiledโ by a violent attack by an outsider, and she offers it to the โGodโ to be cleansed.
โI see, now I understand the story.โ
โThank you for helping me, .......butโ
โYou mean you canโt stay in the village anymore?โ
This kind of thing is familiar, itโs all too common.
I can understand the girlโs concern.
โCome with me, Iโll give you a job.โ
โAre you sure? Iโm defiled.โ
โI donโt care about that.โ
Being violated doesnโt change anything.
โThank you very much, Iโll do anything and work very hard.โ
For now, letโs spend the night here and leave the village in the morning.
We can reveal our true identities in the morning.
Shirley spoke to me.
โHave your abilities grown, Master?โ
โNo, not yet. But thatโs enough for now.โ
I moistened my lips with an almost tasteless cup of dry tea and continued.
โPeople are treasure and possibilities.โ
โAs long as youโre alive, thereโs nothing but possibilities.โ
Shirley was puzzled for a moment, by the way, I said there was nothing but possibilities, but soon her eyes lit up with emotion.
โWell, tomorrow...โ
As I said this, I reached for my tea out of habit.
Even though I knew it wouldnโt taste good, I reached for it out of habit, and โ to my surprise...
Just before I did, the teacup was quickly replaced.
The tea had been lukewarm earlier and was getting cold, but the girl quickly replaced it with a hot one.
I picked it up and looked at her.
โAh, you donโt like it hot?โ
โ...... itโs fine.โ
I chuckled.
Apparently, the girl has a talent for hospitality โ the kind that makes you comfortable.
While still smiling I turned to Shirley.
โSee, it already is.โ
โYes! Thatโs my master!โ | ใใใคใฏ็ฅญๅฃใซ่ฟใฅใใจใ่ฆ็ทใฏๅฏใใใใฆใใๅฐๅฅณใซใใใใใฆใใใ

โ...Thatโs right, the damage to the city isโ eh?โ
Oscar was relieved, but he looked around him and was again exclaimed.
There was no damage to the city from the water column that he had probably expected to see.
A water column that shot out like a beam and blew something out of the grimoire, it didnโt cause any damage to the city.
Both the sellers and buyers on Cobalt Street were surprised that it happened so suddenly, but there was no damage to humans, buildings, or antiques.
He looked at the water column flying off into the sky, and then at me.
โNo way ... Noah did you.โ
I extended my index finger and showed him a trajectory that extended upward at an angle.
Iโm six years old, holding a book, and my gaze is downward.
Typically, the water column would be horizontal or diagonally down.
And that would probably take the lives of dozens of people, just like the big hole in the garden before.
So I took the plunge and shot from the bottom up.
The water column I launched at an angle only blew away the grudge spirit of the grimoire and flew away into the sky without causing any other damage.
โYou mean you shot upwards in that split second?โ
โYes.โ
โWhat an ability to assess the situation...โ
Oscar was exclaiming, but he soon returned to his usual smile.
โNo, thatโs our fatherโs son. Thatโs my brother.โ
He was in a good mood and complimented me.
We didnโt explain anything and nothing was done to cause any damage.
Cobalt Street rapidly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
But itโs not as if everyone is completely unconcerned about what just happened.
โExcuse me, may I have a moment?โ
A man calls out to me and Oscar from the side.
Heโs a well-dressed, little fat guy with a little beard.
โAnd you are?โ
โIโm the owner of that shop. I saw what you just did. Iโd like you to have a look at something.โ
โDo you have any special treasures?โ
The man lowered his head.
Something like that, huh?
Although itโs something that doesnโt quite boil over.
โOkay, show us the way.โ
Oscar was on board, so I decided to go along for the ride.
I followed the guy into the store and was ushered further into the back of the store.
Me and Oscar followed without hesitation.
When you are a nobleman, you donโt do your shopping in front of a store.
Especially in a store that deals in expensive antiques like this, itโs natural to be shown to a VIP room in the back of the store.
The same is true this time, and we were shown into a room with decent furnishings.
โPlease wait a moment.โ
The man said and left the room, leaving us alone.
I looked around the room and muttered, โHeh.โ
โWhatโs up Noah?โ
โNo, I just thought he was good at it. This room is deliberately set one rank lower than the class of a noblemanโs house. This room is a great example of โthe best hospitality a commoner can offer.โ.โ
โWhat? Can you figure that out already?โ
Oscar was surprised.
โWow, thatโ s amazing ... I didnโt figure that out until I was twelve years old.โ
This time Oscar seemed impressed.
As it was, I sat on the couch with Oscar and waited for the man to come back.
A few minutes later, the guy came back with a jewelry box.
As soon as he entered the room, he got down on one knee to me and Oscar.
โI apologize for the delay in my greeting. I am Alan Bardsley. I would like to offer my greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince.โ
โUmโ
Oscar nods as if itโs obvious.
Although we didnโt tell him our names, as evidenced by the fact that he led us to this room, the other side knows about us.
Then it is the etiquette of a nobleman not to tell his or her name at a time like this.
Originally, a nobleman is supposed to act as if the other party knows about you.
I didnโt even try to rush him.
I kept quiet and waited for him to start the conversation.
Alan looks up, down on one knee, at us.
โI have seen what you just did. I am simply in awe of Your Highness the Thirteenthโs great power.โ
โItโs no big deal. Itโs just that I brought this thing on myself in the first place. I just did what I had to do to keep my people out of trouble.โ
As I replied, I saw Oscarโs smile with a satisfied look on his face.
โOh, what a big-hearted man you are! Iโm sure you will be able to solve the mystery of this.โ
I exchanged glances with Oscar.
Apparently, I was the one who was invited, not Oscar.
When he got down to business, Alan opened a jewelry box and presented it to me with a gesture of offering.
โThis is our most prized possession.โ
โThe ring...โ
โWhatโs it all about?โ
โI donโt know.โ
Alan said flatly.
It was the first time a merchant had ever said โI donโt knowโ about his merchandise, and it felt contrived and funny.
โ The ring will show its true form when its true owner appears. That is all that I know.โ
โA true owner.โ
โYes. Iโve shown it to many people in different ways, but Iโve never shown it to them in its true form.โ
โYou saw what I did just now, so you want to give it a try?
Alan bowed his head as he held out the jewelry box.
โYou can try it, but what Iโm more concerned about is why do you keep this all the time? Whatโs the value of the product to you? You donโt know anything. So why did you keep it?โ
โIf I throw it away or sell it for a throwaway price, it comes back to me.โ
โIt comes back to you?โ
โYes, before I knew it, it was here on its own. So, even though I donโt know anything about the details, I just know that โsomethingโs upโ...โ
Then youโd certainly think so.
โCome now. Noah, try it on.โ
Oscar, who had been quietly listening to me until then, flippantly offered me the ring.
To be honest, I didnโt care about it until just before, but when I heard that it would come back to me if I threw it away, I suddenly became interested.
I took the ring and put it on my thumb like a matter of course.
I look at it neatly stuck in my thumb and wonder what it is.
(Level limit check.......rarity SSS)
โWhat? Whatโs that voice?โ
( New ownership confirmed and now authorizingโ armorization initiate)
After a voice that sounded like void speech, something โblewโ out of the ring all at once.
It wrapped around my body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into knightly armor.
โOooh!โ
โMy God, thatโs...โ
Oscar marveled, and Alan exclaimed.
I looked at myself.
I saw myself, using the window pane as a mirror.
I was clothed in white armor, and strangely enough, it seemed to fit my own eyes as well.
By the way, there is no change in status.
Probably a similar existence to Leviathan.
โAlan, Iโll take this.โ
โYes! Iโd be happy to oblige.โ
โYouโll get your payment delivered later.โ
โNo, let me pay for this one.โ
Oscar took out the ten thousand reens he had brought with him and handed them to Alan.
โBrother!?โ
โItโs my gift to you. After the Demon Sword, this armor as well? Hmmm, Noah is indeed something different.โ
Oscar was really smiling happily, and he looked at me in the armor with narrowed eyes.
The armor of the ring can be taken in and out at will.
If it is damaged, it can repair itself over time if the ring itself is safe.
I listened to those things with the same linked thoughts as Leviathan, and told Oscar on the carriage on the way home.
โIsnโt that amazing? Iโve never heard of that before.โ
โIt really is something.โ
โBut, well, itโs Cobalt Street. Maybe itโs not surprising what treasures theyโve found.โ
So thatโs what the city is like there.
โAnyway, itโs been a great experience. Next time letโs have our audience together and let His Majesty take a look at it.
โYeah.โ
In the meantime, we returned to my mansion, the Thirteenth Princeโs Mansion.
I jumped off the carriage and said goodbye to Oscar.
โDieeeeee!โ
Suddenly, something attacked me from behind with an angry shout.
โ Watch out!โ
Oscarโs expression changed and he shoutedโGakin!
Something bounced off of me.
As I was pulling away, the frightened assailant was subdued by Oscarโs men.
โA shield? Where the hell did it come from?โ
He was more concerned about the shield that appeared in the back of my head and bounced off the assault.
โI linked the ring to the Leviathan.โ
โA what now?โ
Oscar is more and more surprised.
โLeviathan is sensitive to hostility towards me, so I thought it would be a good idea to link them together โ but it worked as an automatic defense.โ
โYou already know how to use it! Amazing.....โ
Oscar marveled again. | ใโโใใใ ใ่กใฎ่ขซๅฎณใฏโโใ?ใ

Late afternoon in the study.
Together with Don, I deal with the affairs of the state one after another.
Iโve gotten so used to it lately that I can read the summaries of what the Viziers have outlined, and my efficiency has improved.
However, I still had to keep my mind on the task at hand and avoid making mistakes.
Just then, Lawrence came to visit me.
He came into the room and knelt down elegantly in front of me.
โYouโre here. Iโd like to ask your opinion on a few things. Don.โ
โExcuse meโ
Don nodded and went to get a document that he had put in the corner of his study.
In fact, he had selected a wide range of political duties to test how well Lawrence could do them.
I was about to ask him to deal with it, but he bowed further.
โBut first, Your Highness, I have a favor to ask.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โThereโs someone Iโd like you to persuade and introduce to your highness.โ
โAll right, go ahead.โ
โ...................โ
Lawrence looked up and puzzled, dropping to one knee.
โWhatโs with that funny look on your face?โ
โN-no. I have not told you anything yet. And you have not heard what kind of person he is yet. Iโm just surprised that you agreed to it so easily.โ
I chuckled.
โI trust you. Andโ
โPeople are treasures. If a man of your stature is willing to introduce you to someone, you canโt go wrong.โ
โ......โ
He froze for a full minute, then came back to himself, took a deep breath, and regained his composure.
โYour Highness is an amazing man. I feel ashamed of myself for refusing to serve you, even once in the past.โ
โItโs a story of the past.โ
โHa. Although I donโt know if he can be persuaded, he will certainly be useful in your reign.โ
I had been planning to leave it to Lawrence, but the way he said it intrigued me.
I stopped my work completely and stared straight at Lawrence.
โAre you absolutely sure?โ
โYes. Theyโre better than I am.โ
I nodded and stood up.
Then facing Don.
โIโll leave you to it.โ
โYour Highness?โ
Don nodded, and Lawrence was even more confused.
โLead the way.โ
โTheyโre something that makes you say that much. Then itโs only polite that I come to you.โ
โ...... Youโre an amazing man, after all. ......โ
Lawrence laughed bitterly and looked down for a moment.
We left the provincial capital, Nisir, on horseback and headed south.
It was a neatly paved road, but the city behind us was completely out of sight, and we were now in an unpopular suburb.
Lawrence rode his horse the same way and followed beside me.
โSo, what is the name of the person you want to introduce me to?โ
โHuh. Leon, and another one named Cress.โ
โLeon ......โ
โNo, nothing.โ
The name sounded familiar, but I shook my head and forgot about it, thinking it was just my imagination.
โWhat are they like?โ
โI used to be in a private school run by a man named Walter Miller. It is a place that teaches learning, especially practical learning that is useful to the world.โ
โFumu.โ
โLeon and Cress came to the private school and both graduated within three months. They were so good that by the end they didnโt need to be taught anymore, they were teaching other students.โ
โHoo, thatโs quite a feat.โ
If they are that good, I want to meet them and take them under my command.
People are treasures, and if I can get my hands on those two, my abilities will increase even more.
As it was, Lawrence told me about the two men.
Cress was relatively mild-mannered and came back often to teach at the Miller School, while Leon was quarrelsome and quarreled with the other students at the end, leaving the school with his back to them.
They were two very different personalities.
โThey seem to get along well. As they always work together, they still live in the same remote mountain area.โ
I was beginning to understand the two men, Leon and Cress.
We continued on our way.
Suddenly, I saw a cloud of dust rolling down the road.
I looked closer and saw a man being chased by something.
It was a tiger, twice the size of a normal tiger, its body wrapped in pure white fur.
โLeon!โ
I turned my head to the side and saw that Lawrence was surprised.
โIs that the Leon you were talking about?โ
โIโm sure of it! He did something strange again.......โ
There was impatience in Lawrenceโs tone, but no surprise.
Apparently, this kind of thing is a regular occurrence with this guy Leon.
I heard that he was a man who got into a quarrel with another student and ran away from the school, so I was not taken aback.
โAaaah!โ
Lawrenceโs impatience grew even stronger.
The distance between the Tiger and Leon was gradually closing.
If they continued at this rate, he would be caught up in less than ten seconds.
โWe have to help!โ
I stood up, kicked the horseโs back, and jumped out.
My entire ability is SSS.
I figured it would be faster to head out on my own than to gallop my horse.
And I was right.
I closed the distance in an instant and stepped in between Leon and the giant tiger.
The giant tiger roared and pounced on me.
It completely obscured the sunlight, darkening the space in front of me as if it were night.
I thrust out my fist toward the huge body.
Lightly clenching my fist, I swung it at the tigerโs brow.
I could hear the sound of its skull being crushed and the bones of its neck being broken through its body.
The tiger was killed by the blow and collapsed to the ground in a limp heap.
Fumu, nice fur.[PETA, this guy right here!!!!]
Shall I strip it off and present it to His Majesty?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a voice behind me.
โWhoa, whoa, a blow to this thing? Youโre awesome!โ
โHmm? Youโre .......โ
The man seemed surprised for some reason, and when I turned around, I was surprised too.
Itโs a face I know.
Leon.
Thatโs the guy who came to the mansion a while ago disguised as a beggar.
The other side seemed to have figured out that I was Noah, too, and gave me an awkward smile.
Lawrence, who came with his horse to pull my horse, tilted his head when he saw our reaction.
Leon led me into the mountain where he lives.
Two huts stood quietly in the middle of a small mountain only a few hundred meters away.
In one of them, I, Lawrence, and Leon, the owner of the hut, were sitting facing each other.
โWell, thank you for your help. If you hadnโt come, Iโd be in that tigerโs stomach right now.โ
โWhy were you being chased by that tiger?โ
โWell, thereโs a theory that if you give the milk of a White Saber Tiger to a human child, the child will become immune to all diseases.โ
โYeah, Iโve heard about it.โ
Itโs only a rumor, but Iโve heard that human children raised by white tigers grow up to be much bigger, tougher, and stronger than normal children.
โSo I was curious to see what the milk was like, and when I found out that a tiger cub had been born, I went to go milk it.โ
โNo wonder!โ
Lawrence shouted.
โDo you want to die by going near a beast of prey while itโs raising its young!โ
โDonโt get mad. Oh, yes, Iโve squeezed some out of you, why donโt you join me for a drink?โ
โYou!โ
I held Lawrenceโs impatience and spoke to Leon.
โLeon, rightโ
โYeah.โ
โLawrence recommended you to me. Along with Cress.โ
โLawrence?โ
Leon looked at Lawrence in surprise.
โYouโve finally given up on Kaskal, huh?โ[Leon is saying Kasukaru]
Lawrence smiled bitterly and did not answer.
Leonโs calling out Pascal, and Lawrenceโs not refuting it when he heard it.
Apparently, the exchange that took place between me and Lawrence was also taking place between their friends.
Lawrence looked uncomfortable but eventually answered.
โI am now in the service of His Highness.โ
โHeh, .......โ
Leon stared at me.
โItโs amazing that you can persuade that stubborn Lawrence. Youโre a great guy, just like your story at Coroncia.โ
โCoroncia?โ
โYeah, you sent three of your subordinates over there, right? Thanks to that, the rebuilding is going well.โ
Iโve heard the reports from Howard and the others, but it looks like the reconstruction is going well from the outside.
โAll right, in that case, Iโll be your subordinate. And leave Cress to me.โ
โAre you sure?โ
โYeah. I intended to do so from the start, and if Cress hears that you are an amazing guy who has softened Lawrenceโs big head, he wonโt object.โ
โIโll be in your careโLord.โ | ๆผไธใใใฎๆธๆใ

The tone of his voice was casual, but his eyes were serious just before he sat down and bowed his head with his hands on his knees.
It was very, very serious.
A few days later, while I was doing political work in my study, Curuz arrived again.
Just like last time, I got down on one knee and bowed before the eunuch who had come as an imperial envoy.
Next to me, Don knelt with me.
Curuz recited the imperial order.
His Majestyโs health has improved completely, and he will return to the imperial capital from the summer resort.
With that, the order is to relieve me of my post as Prime Minister.
Instantly, the status in the corner of my vision changed.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Ararat
Minister of Justice
Gender: Male
HPD+EMPE+EStrengthD+EStaminaE+EIntelligenceE+DSpiritE+DSpeedF+EDexterityE+DLuckE+D FireE+AWaterD+SWindE+FEarthE+FLight E+CDarknessE+F
All of the SSS, which means the whole empire, disappeared, and it returned to its previous state.
The reason itโs slightly higher than it was then, with some Dโs, is probably because I added Lawrence, Leon, and Cress as my subordinates.
As I looked at it, I was thinking about how I should improve my abilities in the future.
โYou have done a good job with the affairs of the state. For this reason, I am giving you Apophis and shall add Ararat to the fief.โ
โA-Amazing.......โ
Listening in silence, โ or rather, Don, who should have been listening in silence, was so surprised that he shouted out.
I was surprised too.
The fief, Ararat.
As the name implies, it is the symbolic land where the Ararat family first raised its armies, although it is now a remote land that produces nothing.
Donโs involuntary reaction of โAmazingโ was understandable.
I, on the other hand, was a little soberer.
Because the moment Cruz pronounced the imperial decree, my status increased again.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Name: Noah Ararat
Gender: Male
HPD+EMPE+EStrengthD+AStaminaE+EIntelligenceE+DSpiritE+D
SpeedF+EDexterityE+DLuckE+D FireE+AWaterD+SWindE+FEarthE+DLight E+CDarknessE+F
The โ+โ in strength went up to A at once.
The โ+โ in earth also went up to D.
Thatโs two more.
Thereโs not much in Araratโs land now.
Considering the fact that the water went up the moment I received Almeria as a fief when I was once born, and the actual situation in Almeria.
Itโs hard to imagine two status would rise just because of the land of Ararat.
If thatโs the case...
I looked up and saw the person that Cruz had brought with him carrying a treasure chest.
He placed the treasure chest in front of me and opened it.
Inside was a cane with a snake motif on it.
So this is โ Apophis.
I reached out my hand and touched the Apophis.
Resonance.
Leviathan.
Bahamut.
Fuwawa.
Behemoth.
And Apophis.
Five of them were simultaneously emitting a sound โ a true resonance.
I was indeed surprised by this, but I looked around and saw no sign of Curuz or Don reacting to it.
So it was just me.
But now I knew.
Apophis is the same as Leviathan and the others.
If thatโs the case, this is a treasure.
I bowed down to Curuz, who had given it to me in the name of His Majesty.
โThank you for the generosity.โ
I said.
That night, I had a strange dream.
In the dream, there were five mysterious beings talking about something.
{Five of us, and yet without incident.}
{Thatโs a first in history. Heโs an amazing man.}
{If this is the case, ...... then..}
{Yes, it may be possible for him to take us all in.}
{And become the one who can awaken the Ark that lies dormant in the land of Ararat.}
{When the Ark awakens, everyone including those on the ground can go to paradise. I have high hopes.}
{Umu, I have expectations.]
{Let us hope.}
{To our Lord of infinite possibilities......}
{{{{{Letโs hope }}}}}

I was in the study, facing Oscar across the desk.
I sat down and stared at the report Oscar had given me, and at the numbers.
โThe annual budget of the Emperor is surprisingly huge.โ
โYes. ......โ
Oscar, the Minister of the Imperial Household, bowed slightly and replied in a manner that suggested he was choosing his words.
โHis Majesty has many consorts, which inevitably results in a large budget. And even though it is a lot, itโs only a tenth of what the former Emperor Robby spent.โ
โThatโs right.โ
Compared to him, anyone would be thrifty, I thought, but I didnโt say it.
Robby was the name of the last emperor of the country who ruled the land before the empire, a man who made the country fall into decline with his drinking and extravagance.
โ What will you do now that you know this?โ
โMy budget is only about a tenth of the Emperorโs, isnโt it?
Instead of answering the question directly, I looked up and asked Oscar.
What about it? Oscar looked at me with such a questioning expression in his eyes.
โItโs as you say. At present, His Majesty has a small number of consorts, and as a result, the number of ladies in waiting and eunuchs is minimal. Also, with all due respect ......, I have known you since you were a child, and you are not a man of luxury.โ
Oscar then looked me straight in the eye.
โTherefore, as you say, one-tenth is enough.โ
โHmm. Thatโs the reason I called Oscar. I want you to make sure this doesnโt grow unnecessarily in the future.โ
โThatโs ...... my job, huh. ......โ
Why though? Oscar has such a look on his face.
I stood up, turned my back to Oscar, and looked out the window.
The Imperial Capital spread out below us, and we were in the midst of prosperity.
โI want to expand our reach.โ
โโ!โ
I can feel Oscar gasping from behind me.
โIn other words, a war of aggression. And for that, we need money.โ
โ...... Yes.โ
โWhen the Emperor spends money, he has to collect ten times what he actually spends from the people.โ
When spending money, people move, and the labor cost for those people is high.
And this is something that no Emperor can do anything about, but when people deal with a lot of money, they always want to keep a little bit in their pockets.
If everyone put โ a fraction of the moneyโ into their own pockets, the amount would be ten times larger than the actual amount of money, considering the number of people the Emperor operates.
โThe less you spend, the less the people have to bear. That way, we can maintain ...... or even nurture our national power.โ
โExcellent, sir.โ
I turn around and look straight at Oscar.
โThe time will come when we have to spend the money. I want you to hold on to my wallet for that time.โ
Oscar bowed profoundly and walked out of the study.
Oscar is a capable man.
If given a clear direction like this, he would never make a mistake.
Just as I was thinking that the next step would be ......, Don walked in.
After I ascended to the throne, I selected Don to be the fourth Vizier as my confidant, and he has been working just as hard as when he was in Almeria.
As soon as he entered the room, he kneeled down and bowed in a fluid motion.
โAn emergency, Your Majesty.โ
โWhatโs happened?โ
โRefugees from the Gimbel region are pouring into the capital.โ
โHmm. Gimbel, thatโs where the famine was during the drought, right?โ
โYes.โ
Don nodded and put the report on the desk.
I sat back down, took it, and looked at it.
โThen it must be getting crowded. Fuu, is the security getting worse?โ
โYes. The number of fights and other small conflicts with the people of the city has been increasing visibly.โ
โ......
โIโm thinking of organizing a refugee relief shelter in the southern suburbs and lumping all the refugees together there.โ
I thought for a moment.
โWhat about Gimbel?โ
โWeโre moving forward with the transportation of surplus food from the capital, as ordered by His Majesty. Leon will be leading a convoy in the next few days.โ
โHmmโ
The reason for sending the food directly from the capital comes from the fact that everyone has to put a little bit in their pockets, as was the case with Oscar earlier.
In the end, percent of the budget, or at most percent, will be used for disaster relief.
To prevent this from happening, we had the food with little โflavorโ carried as is.
The less delicious the food is, the less will be taken โ in other words, the more will go to the people.
โAbout that, shall we let the refugees do it?โ
โ............Yes?โ
Don looked at me like, โWhat is he talking about?โ
โErm, ......, what does that mean?โ
โIt means weโre going to let the refugees transport the food.โ
I looked back at Don with a serious face.
โWe need to pay the manpower to transport the food, donโt we?โ
โThatโs why we will have the refugees do it. The reward will be in the form of food. If we do that...โ
โโ! We can save on transportation costs for the refugees who are eating for free at the shelter.โ
Don gasped and looked at me.
โThatโs what Iโm talking about. There are two main reasons why the refugees are having trouble with the people of the city. Theyโre in a strange land, and theyโre hungry. If we let the refugees carry them away, the city will be safer and there will be fewer refugees.โ
โI see!โ
โAnd...โ
โThereโs more!?โ
Don was even more surprised and I looked at him, smiling back.
โYeah, we can use the refugees for local distribution. They are refugees, and now they will be less likely to line their own pockets for the sake of their suffering friends back home. More importantly, since we know the situation in the affected areas well, we will know exactly where they are and how many there are. How about it, can you do it?โ
โ...... Yes.โ
Don thought for a moment and then nodded clearly.
โEven taking into account the refugees who flee the area, I think we should be able to reach more people than usual.โ
โI hadnโt thought of it this way, Your Majesty. Itโs a great idea that kills three birds with one stone.โ
โRefugees are human beings. As long as they have a full stomach, they have labor power. Rather than that.โ
โRather?
โThereโs no shortage of cases in history where leaving refugees behind has led to riots and rebellions.โ
โIndeed!โ
The number of refugees will never be zero no matter what we do.
I decided to think of a way to handle them in the long run.
In the evening, I left the palace and took Zoe, my maid, for a stroll around the capital.
After a whole day of work, we headed to Keithโs store on Raid Street to freshen up a bit.
Listing to Aliceโs song, I decided to take a break.
โWhat? Thereโs a lot of people here.โ
When we entered the street, we saw that it was more crowded than ever.
It was so crowded that Zoe was surprised and I raised an eyebrow.
And it was centered around Keithโs store โ his store seemed to be the most prosperous.
It was almost difficult to get close to the store.
โGo and inquire about whatโs going on.โ
I ordered Zoe to inquire about it.
She ran off, asked around, and came back.
โI got it โ well, Master.โ
โHmmโ
โI heard that the store is packed with women.โ
โWhy is that?โ
โThey know itโs a favorite of His Highness the Prince before he became Emperor.โ
Zoe, who had been with me for many years, had a natural way of putting things in a way that didnโt give away that she was traveling incognito.
โSo, if you come here, youโll meet the Emperor whoโs going incognito, and if he likes you, you might become his concubine! Thatโs why everyone seems to be here.โ
โItโs amazing, master, all the beauties are so stunning. Itโs like a beauty fair.โ
I donโt feel bad.
Perhaps.
โAnd hereโs something even better. All the innkeepers around here are so packed, it seems like you canโt get a room even if you pay three times as much.โ
It seemed that not only the people of the city but also beautiful women from other places were coming here to seek me out. | ๆธๆใฎไธญใๆบ่ถใใซใชในใซใผใจๅใๅใฃใฆใใใ

While waiting with Jean on the location, his subordinates who went to catch the mastermind behind the assassination attempt returned.
A man about thirty years old and dressed like a Knight.
That man knelt in front of me and Jean, then bowed, and reported.
โWe rushed as per His Highnessโs instructions and captured five people.โ
โWere you able to catch them alive?โ
Jean asked, leaning forward. His response was something that was more concerning now.
โYes. ...... Somehow, when we raided the place, all the criminals had collapsed. When I investigated, I found that they were all paralyzed by an unknown poison.โ
โPoison? Donโt tell me they committed suicide!โ
Jean stretched himself even further.
It was a natural guess, but the knight shook his head slowly.
โNo, it wasnโt a deadly poison, it was just a poison that rendered them immobile.โ
โWhy would such a thing ......โ
โYeah, I was the one who did that.โ
โEh?โ
Jean looks at me in surprise.
I linked the Ring to the Apophis and made it materialize.
A metallic, dull-colored snake appears in my palm, with its tongue lolling out.
โAs the Third Vizier knows, during the rebellion in Almeria before, I took out the mastermind remotely.โ
โYes. I remember hearing about it and going over the details many times.โ
Jean said that it was such an incredible event.]
I nodded and added.
โItโs the same thing, I remotely poisoned him with this Apophis while I was showing him the way. I paralyzed everyone present because I feared they would commit suicide if word got out.โ
โI see! Thatโs great!โ
Jeanโs eyes sparkled, and he looked impressed.
โAnd by the way...โ
Before he completes the sentence, he looked at the knight.
โAre they saying anything?โ
โWell, sir, as you say, they ...... are all screaming and grunting โkillโ at us.โ
โWhat does that mean, Your Highness?โ
โItโs the same thing, the poison. After paralyzing the body, the poison was injected with an effect that made the whole body itch continuously. The effect is ...... like a mosquito bite all over your body, but you canโt scratch it at all.โ
When they heard my explanation, Jean and the Knight shuddered at the same time.
โThere are many who are trained to endure pain, but not so many who are trained to endure itching, an itching that cannot be scratched.โ
โAs you say, sir, youโre absolutely right. Well, His Highness certainly brought the โitchโ into it.โ
โAnd so it is.โ
I turned to the knight again.
โTheyโll tell you anything now. Go ahead and interrogate.โ
โYes!โ
The knight bowed to me once and then looked at Jean, his master.
When Jean nodded slightly, the knight got up and left.
I made some small talk with Jean and waited.
I was certain that in the current situation, he would tell us everything in no time.
My prediction was right on the money.
In less than an hour, the knight was back again.
He was on his knees in front of us, just like before.
โHow did it go?โ
โYes, they told me everything. And I believe they are telling the truth.
โFumu. So, who sent them?โ
โThe Rushi kingdom, sir.โ
โRushi?โ
โYes. The plan was that if the Rushi Tsarโs emissary died in the capital, the empire would be in trouble.โ
โFuumu.โ
โI see. Rushi Tsar is a traitor to the Rushi Kingdom. That way, the Empire could make things easier for the Rushi Kingdom.โ
It was a simple matter to understand.
Not only the knight who actually interrogated him but also Jean and I both felt that it was true.
โJust keep interrogating him, just in case. Donโt kill anyone right away.โ
โAnd ......, Third Vizier.โ
โPrepare more guards for Ivan. Get him back to the Rushi Tsar at all costs.โ
โI understand, sir. Leave it to me.โ
The next day, I left the mansion and came to Cobalt Street after a long time.
People are treasures.
On the other hand, there are also โtreasuresโ within treasures.
In order to look for such treasures, I spent the morning touring Cobalt Street.
But I couldnโt find any treasure at all, and finally, I came to Alanโs store, where I always go.
โIโm sorry, sir. The treasure that His Highness is looking for is not quite .......โ
Alan said with an apologetic look on his face.
โNo, thatโs fine. Treasures are not that easy to find.โ
โThank you, sir. โ Well, if you donโt mind having something new, then itโs not that much of a problem.โ
โSomething new?โ
โYes. There is a story that an interesting baby has been born in a town called Sorel, a short distance from the capital.โ
โWhatโs so interesting about it?โ
โWell, he was born holding a jewel.
โ...... eh?โ
What a story. ...... Itโs an eyebrow-raising story.
A human baby is born with a jewel in its hand.
In short, itโs a story about a pregnant woman who created a jewel inside her body.
Like a pearl oyster.
โAt the moment of birth, the jewel illuminated the room in a dazzling light. Everyone is speculating that this is a very good omen.โ
โ......โ
Though it was eyebrow-raising, I was interested.
Itโs a good omen, Alan said.
The meteorite that erased my โ+โ a while ago was also offered to me as a good omen.
A good omen, huh?
I thought for a moment and asked Alan.
โDo you think youโll be able to get your hands on that gem?โ
โEh? Yeah, well...โ
โOkay.โ
I reached into my pocket and took out a leather bag.
And gave Alan all the money I had brought with me when I left.
โIโve got Reens, so get it for me. If itโs not enough, just tell me.โ
โLeave it to me!โ
Alan thumped his chest and answered confidently.
He left the store, saying he would be back.
I was about to leave Cobalt Street and return to the mansion.
Then, I paused.
What entered my eyes, or rather my consciousness, was a brand new store.
It was a store with a slightly different structure than a normal store.
I could smell the scent of food wafting from inside.
Although I could tell it was food, I couldnโt tell what it was, it was the first time I smelled it.
I was curious to know what kind of place it was, so I walked in.
โWelcome.โ
โWhat kind of establishment is this?โ
โCustomer, is this your first time here?โ
The man who greeted me, dressed as a shopkeeper, answered with a confident look.
โ The owner of the restaurant is from the Rushi Kingdom, and we serve authentic Rushi cuisine.โ
โI see. Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, please.โ
โYes, sir! This way, please.โ
I was shown to my seat and took a bite of the food that was served.
Most of the food was stewed in a greasy, warming way, probably because it was from a northern country.
The taste was strong, but not bad.
At the same time, I tried to find out the name of the restaurant while I was eating.
Yesterday and Today, I was a little confused when I heard the name โRushi Cuisineโ, but the people at the restaurant were not hostile or malicious at all.
They just seemed to be businessmen, and I was just too concerned about them.
In other words, there was nothing wrong with it โ until I finished the food.
I was about to pay the bill and leave the restaurant when I decided that my taste buds were satisfied and the restaurant was fine.
I realized I was penniless.
โ......Ahโ
I remembered that I had given Alan the money I had gone out with today just a few minutes ago.
Thatโs why I donโt have any money on hand and canโt pay for the food.
The shopkeeper, who had been smiling earlier, raised his eyebrows when he saw that I hadnโt been able to find any money in my pockets or pockets.
โHey, kid, you arenโt planning to just eat and run, are you?โ
โNo, itโs not like that.โ
โThen pay up. Itโs exactly one reen.โ
โ......โ
This is a problem.
I thought of a solution, wondering how I should pay.
However, the other party was apparently very impatient.
He didnโt give me time to think.
โIf you canโt pay, Iโll turn you into the local guards.โ
Thatโs not good, thatโs unbecoming of a nobleman.
I was getting more and more embarrassed when a man spoke up from behind me.
โI will pay for that child, too.โ
โEh?โ
โFuuh?โ
The clerk and I both looked at the man who spoke to us.
He looked like a good-natured man.
โIt should be reens with mine, right? Here.โ
Then he handed the clerk two reens.
The shopkeeper took the money and put a sales smile on his face again.
As long as he got paid, anything was possible, he was the epitome of a businessman.
I turned my body to the man who had taken my place.
โThank you for your help, I was saved.โ

โ...... yeah, I was in such a hurry. Please tell me your name and Iโll pay you back as soon as I get it.โ
โMy name is Relic. I live on Tyler Street.โ
โRelic of Tyler Street. All right.โ
โโNoah-sama!โ
From behind, this time, I heard a familiar voice.
I turned around and saw Shirley coming towards me.
โShirley, good timing. Do you have any money on you?โ
โEh? Ah, yes! This is about it. ......โ
I looked at the leather bag Shirley had taken out. There are roughly 00 reens in it.
โIโll borrow it for now and return it to you when I get back to the mansion.โ
โYes, whatever Your Highness commands.โ
Shirley said and held out a leather bag to me with both hands.
I took it and handed it to Relic.
I handed him the whole thing โ all 500 reens.
โIt was a big help earlier. Thank you.โ
Relic looked at the leather bag and looked puzzled like he didnโt know what was going on.
I pushed the leather bag to Relic.
I left the store and walked with Shirley.
โY-Your Highness...โ
โI was listening to the exchange between your highness and that guy earlier, but isnโt it a bit excessive to borrow 1 reen and pay back 500 reens? No loan shark would go that far. ......โ
โThatโs a Water Seller in the Desert.โ
โIf I collapsed in the desert, Iโd be happy to pay 500 reens for a bottle of water that normally costs about one reen.โ
Thatโs how much Relic had helped me.
I could have announced myself as the Prince there.
However, that should have been said upfront.
It would be very damaging to the name of the nobleman to say that he was the Prince after being accused of being a runaway eater.
That would be an improbable act.
Depending on the nobleman, he may even feel so ashamed of it that he may commit suicide.
That 1 reen that Relic lent me is worth that much.
โEven if the favor you received is just a drop when you return it, you return it as a spring.โ
โI see, ......, thatโs an excellent example!โ
Shirley looked at me with a great deal of admiration. | ใ......ใใใใใฎใใใ็ฆใฃใใๅๅใๆใใฆใใใชใใใๅบใใฆใใใฃใๅใฏใใใซ่ฟใใ

I left the Imperial Capital to Henry, Oscar, and the Viziers, and headed for the province of Saraluria.
Saraluria is the place where innovative technology, the veins that support it so to speak, lie dormant.
This is something that could drastically change the future of the Empire and, by extension, the lives of all humankind.
After moving Margrave Gerdt away from there and putting Saraluria under my direct control, I decided to go there myself.
And now I am on my way to it.
I dressed up as a scion of a traveling merchant family, with only one servant in tow.. Status
The maid accompanying me is Lou Peiyu.
Sheโs the daughter of a tribe that once challenged the Empire to a battle and lost, and since then Iโve taken over most of the family, sheโs been working for me as my loyal maid.
Since she had not been a maid very long, and unlike Evelyn, Zoe, and other capable maids, she was an ordinary girl, I had brought her along as camouflage.
Incidentally, they are a family with the unusual custom of having the last name in front and the first name behind.
Peiyu was following me, carrying big baggage with her.
โYour Majeโnoโ, Master.โ
โUmm?โ
Whatโs the matter? I turn to Peiyu, who almost mispronounced my name as we walk.
She looked exhausted from a large amount of luggage, she might want to take a break.
โWhat kind of a place is โSabakuโ?โ
โFumu, Iโve never actually seen it myself, except to say that as far as the eye can see, itโs all sand.โ
โAll sand?โ
โHave you ever seen the ocean?โ
โYes.โ
โThen itโs easy to understand. Just like the ocean, but itโs all sand.โ
โT-Then the crops wonโt grow at all! And the prey for hunting probably wonโt thrive either. ......โ
Gah! Peiyu was shocked.
She is aware that crops donโt grow in sandy soil.
โYeah, thatโs right. The so-called barren land goes on and on. Thatโs why Saraluria became the largest province in the empire. Itโs a collection of barren wastes, unsuitable for farming or hunting.โ
โSo thatโs what it was ...... a desert, huh ......?โ
As Peiyu walked along, she thought of the desert with a distant look in her eyes.
After walking for a while, a checkpoint came into view at the end of the road.
โMaster, something is not right.โ
โYeah ...... itโs reeking of blood.โ
Even though it was still some distance to the checkpoint, the situation had reached such a point that I could smell it.
The front of the checkpost had become noisy and chaotic.
Even from a distance, one could see that there was a struggle going on.
โLetโs go. And, stay close to me.
I headed for the gate with Peiyu, who followed me obediently.
As we approached the gate, we could see what was going on.
A group of people dressed as commoners were tearing down various parts of the gate.
They were not using carpentry tools, but rather, sickles, hoes, and other such tools.
Therefore, it was inefficient and time-consuming to destroy it.
Some officials and soldiers were different from the group of commoners.
They were outnumbered and outgunned and were already beaten and moved to a distance, groaning.
โ......โ
I thought for a moment, then cautiously approached the group and then addressed the man who had just broken down the fence.
โHey there, whatโs this all about?โ
โHeh? What are you, ...... some kind of a bum?โ
โIโm just a traveler. Whatโs this all about? Whatโs going on here?โ
โWeโre demolishing it.โ
โDemolition. ......โ
I have heard of it, but itโs the first time Iโve seen it in action.
It is a kind of self-help activity of the people, in which a group of people stand up against some unreasonable situation and destroy the houses and things of the unreasonable person anyway.
The basic idea is that you basically just break things, donโt kill people, and hurt them as little as possible โ thatโs the basic theme of the project.
On closer inspection, it is true that some of the officials and soldiers who have been knocked down are groaning and unable to move, but none of them appear to have been mortally wounded.
โThe checkpoint here is terrible, you know how much they charge you.โ
โHow much?โ
โHalf of what weโre carrying.โ
โHalf?โ
โThatโs right. I bring vegetables and stuff to the city down the road, and they always take half of what I bring here.โ
โSo everybodyโs just pissed off, and this is what happens.โ
I looked around, convinced.
The others, as if to relieve their pent-up frustration, were smashing down the barrier with unfamiliar tools.
โIt will all be over soon, so just stand back and watch.โ
I nodded, beckoned to Peiyu, and did as I was told.
The demolition continued for the next hour or so, and then the men pulled away, satisfied.
โMaster, letโs go through.โ
โNo, wait a little longer.โ
โEh? Uh, yes. .......โ
Peiyu looked puzzled but obeyed her Masterโs words.
After watching there for a while, a cloud of dust approached from the distance.
It was an official on a fat, well-fed horse and about a hundred soldiers who had come to the front of the barrier.
โDonโt screw around! Donโt screw around, donโt screw around, donโt screw around! How dare you lowlifes! How dare you take my gate!โ
The man looked at the destroyed barrier and stormed on his horse, almost as if he were stamping on the ground.
โLooks like thatโs the official in charge of this checkpoint.โ
โI-it would seem so.โ
โIโll go, you wait here.โ
โEh? B-But...โ
โWait here.โ
โY-yes!
Leaving Peiyu behind, I approached the gate.
On the way, one of the soldiers approached me and called out to the man.
The man turns from his horse and looks down at me.
โWhat the hell are you!โ
โ.......โ
I silently stepped on the symbol of the knocked-down gate โ most importantly, the fence door.
Then put on the performance that showed, Iโm the one who did this.
โItโs one of them! Seize him!โ
At the manโs command, several soldiers came at once.
I easily dodged the attacks of the spear-carrying soldiers and dropped my sword hilt on their napes.
The men, who had been hit in the vital spot, instantly turned white and fell down with a thud.
โCome at me togetherโ
โYou fucking bastard! You guys, kill him!โ
The fat official gave the order as if he were a bandit.
The soldiers came at me one after another, and one by one, they were defeated by hit-and-run and hand-to-hand combat.
โWh-Waaa ...... who are you!โ
I snorted, looked at the officials with condescending eyes, and turned myself around.
โForgive you,......, I will never forgive you,.......โ
The official uttered a curse in a voice that sounded like it was squeezed out from the depths of his gut.
With these words at his back, he continued walking.
That night, I took lodging in a nearby inn.
I write a letter by the light of a lantern.
โUm, ...... Master?โ
โUhmm? What is it?โ
Peiyu, who was in the same room with me and helping me write, timidly spoke.
โMaster was amazing today, you were so cool.โ
โThatโs right.โ
โYou mean you were expecting it to be like that?โ
โThatโs right. When they were breaking down the gate, there were not many soldiers and there was no one who looked like he was in charge. That piggy-looking guy must have been in charge.โ
โIf I do that, the hatred will be directed at me. That kind of person would rush in with a new kind of hatred.โ
โSuch far ahead ...... as expected of, Master.โ
I continued to hold the letter as I answered Peiyuโs question.
โAll right. Give this to the person who brings the political papers from the Imperial Capital.โ
Saying that I handed the letter to Peiyu.
โI understand. Um, what is this about?โ
I looked at Peiyu and smiled.
As an ordinary maid, Peiyu doesnโt really know the line that she is not allowed to ask.
If itโs confidential, I wonโt tell her, but this is good.
โItโs a response to the demolition.โ
โEh? Arenโt you finished with that one?โ
โItโs about the future. I have issued an Imperial decree to the absent lord to change the law if there are more demolitions in the future.โ
โLaw .......โ
โIn the meantime, the people who participated in the demolition will be punished.โ
โNo way!โ
Peiyu was about to say something, but I held up my hand to stop her.
โItโs the same thing that led to the demolition โ in this case, the swine. It will be punished in the same way. The punishment will be heavier on the official.โ
โAh, ......, are you going to make it heavier, ......?โ
I chuckled at Peilโs โgoing toโ. | ๅธ้ฝใฎ็ๅฎใฏใใณใชใผใจใชในใซใผใใใใซๅฎฐ็ธ้ใซไปปใใฆใไฟบใฏใตใฉใซใชใขๅทใซๅใใฃใฆใใใ

Having witnessed todayโs incident, she seems to have completely fallen on the side of the people.
Well, thatโs fine.
โThatโs right. And it is going to be the higher the status, the heavier the punishment.โ
I gave the order to the absentees to โPrepare a draft,โ so weโll have to scrutinize it after we get back to the capital to see if it follows the direction Iโve ordered.
โThatโs true if youโre an aristocrat. ......, it might be better if itโs one notch below the death penalty.โ
โOh, that heavily!โ
Peiyu, who had been a staunch supporter of the people, seemed surprised by this.
โIt is the duty of the nobility not to let that happen.โ
I thought for a moment and fully turned to Peiyu.
โFor example, you were walking with the luggage all day today.โ
โI carried nothing. I was the man and you were the woman, but I let you carry my baggage and I didnโt try to do anything with it.โ
โThatโs because of my status. I am the master and you are the servant, so it is only natural that you should carry the baggage.โ
โIn the same way, it is the duty of the nobility to ensure that the people do not rebel. Any noble who violates this duty must be severely punished.โ[TN: This series is sometimes good with this kind of message, but the sad thing is, itโs not possible in modern times]
โAh, ......โ
โDo you understand now?โ
โYes! Master, thatโs wonderful!โ

At night, in my living room, I had the four of them, Leviathan, Luthiya, Fuwawa, and Behemoth, linked to the Armor Ring for a mock battle.
In the mock battle, Leviathan was the strongest, Luthiya and Behemoth were about the same, and Fuwawa was a bit far behind.
After a few rounds, I was thinking that my level was about to rise when there was a knock on the door, and Cecily, the reception maid, came in.
โExcuse me for coming so late at night. Thereโs a woman here who wants to see you, Master.โ
โA woman? What is her name?โ
โShe says her name is Olivia Coyle.โ
โOlivia Coyle.โ
I rolled the name Cecily had given me on my tongue.
Itโs not a familiar name, Iโve never met a woman with that name.
However, I was curious why she had come to visit me this late at night.
If she was someone I didnโt care about, Cecily, whom Evelyn had raised and whom I had selected to serve me, would have turned her away.
The fact that she asked me even at this hour means that she must have looked like a person of appropriate status.
โOkay, let her through.โ
Cecily left, and a short time later a woman entered the room.
She was in her mid-twenties and quite beautiful.
Olivia Coyle stood in front of me and bowed in the manner of a woman.
โOlivia, what brings you here at this hour?โ
โSecret information.โ
โ......โ
I pretended to be unconcerned.
Secret information.
As soon as I heard the word, I had a very bad feeling and imagination.
Trying not to show it, I asked back.
โWhat kind of information?โ
โCrown Prince Albert is planning to cause a political upheaval tonight and force His Majesty to abdicate.โ
โโโ!โ
As expected, I could not remain calm.
After all, itโs ...... arrived.
No wait, it hasnโt been determined to be true yet.
I glared at Olivia and asked her back.
โHow do you know about this?โ
โI am the daughter of Coyle, His Highness Gilbertโs butler.โ
โButler Coyleโs!โ
I remembered.
Coyle was the butler at Gilbertโs mansion for many years, and I met him every time I went to the mansion.
Coyleโs daughter.
โAre you born within the household?โ
โYes.โ
Olivia nodded.
Born within the household. As the word suggests, it is a child born to two servants of the lord.
It is not uncommon for the lord to arrange marriages for their subordinates, and to strengthen unity, it is also common to have servants marry each other.
When two household servants marry each other, the children born as a result of the marriage are born as household servants and are therefore more likely to swear absolute allegiance to the royal family.
This is because they were born and raised in an environment where this is the norm.
โI know the story. That His Highness the th tried somehow to keep Gilbert-sama alive. And yet, Albert refused toโโ
Olivia said that much and bit her bottom lip.
She bit down so hard that it bled.
She didnโt know the story but probably found out that Coyle was ...... at the time.
โI swore vengeance, and fortunately for me, the Crown Prince took a liking to me, so I used my body to take him in.โ
โA womanโs weapon.โ
โYes. He wasnโt tired of me yet, so he has been doing it a lot lately, especially with me. And thatโs where I overheard it.โ
Olivia took a deep breath and said with an even more serious look on her face.
โThe disinheritance hasnโt officially come out yet, but once it does, it will be too late. Even now, using the power of the Crown Prince, we can move enough troops to hold the palace.โ
โWhat are they going to do with His Majesty?โ
โForce him to abdicate and become Emperor.โ
โ......Fuuhโ
Damn you, Albert.
You should have known that eunuch would be dealt with โin secretโ.
His Majesty doesnโt want any trouble and heโs doing you a favor by letting you live.
And yet you are plotting political change. ......
โI beg of you!โ
Olivia dropped to her knees with both her hands down. (Dozega)
โIโll do anything! Iโll do anything I can. This body, this life! I donโt care how you use it. Please! I want the Crown Prince Albertโs head!โ
โ...... Okay.โ
I sighed and gently raised Olivia.
โI donโt care about anything. What were you doing at Gilbertโs place?โ
โI was an apprentice butler under my father.โ
โYouโll do the same here, and Iโll pay you as much.โโ
โW-Why are you treating me so well, ......?โ
โYou wanted to avenge your master, and I rewarded you for your loyalty by offering to serve him even in death.โ
โ...... what a man.โ
Olivia looked at me with eyes full of admiration.
At the same time, there was a change in status that was always in the corner of my vision.
Name: Noah Ararat
Minister of Justice
Gender: Male
Level: / โ

A โ+โ was added to Darkness.
Itโs a sign of Oliviaโs obedience and submission to me.
After leaving the mansion, I took Olivia to the Ministry of War in the east of the capital.
There is a barracks next to the Ministry of War, and there are always ,0 soldiers stationed there.
Due to the nature of being stationed there, they are trained to obey the orders of their superiors who have command authority without thinking twice.
The Crown Prince, a half-emperor who has not yet had his disinheritance order announced, can easily move them.
When I rushed there, I found that the soldiers were already assembled and lined up in the courtyard of the barracks, with Crown Prince Albert and a few of his men in control.
โBrother!โ
โNoah? What are you doing here?โ
โNo, brother, itโs not too late.โ
Albert was no different, and he understood everything in just a momentโs exchange.
โThatโs not the point, brother. If you take that step, youโre doomed.โ
โDo you want me to just sit here and die?โ
โHis Majesty has no intention of killing brother, he is heartbroken at the thought of executing his son.โ
โSo you want me to be content being a Prince!โ
That one word spoke eloquently of the difference in values, a difference that could not be bridged.
If you think about it, a Prince is usually an existence of utmost nobility to the common people.
But for Albert, the Crown Prince, being โdroppedโ by it was like death.
โDo you insist on stopping me?โ
โAll right, capture Noah! Thatโs a traitor!โ
Albert ordered his soldiers.
1000 soldiers came towards me without hesitation.
I immediately pulled out the Leviathan from my bracelet.
Will I be able to defeat 1000 ...... of them?
I donโt know, but I have to!
[Let me help you. Call my name.]
I heard someoneโs voice in my head.
A familiar voice, but clearer than before.
Then a different name came to my mind.
Without hesitation, I called out the name.
โLuthiya โ no, Bahamut!โ
Instantly, a silhouette appeared behind me.
A black dragon clad in flames, with huge wings.
Gender: Male
Level: 3 / โ

FireF+AWaterE+SWindF+FEarthF+FLight F+CDarknessF+F
At the same time, the fire became one step stronger.
The black dragon, Bahamut-Luthiya, spat flames from its mouth.
The flames engulfed the soldiers and they quickly burst into flames.
One by one, the soldiers squirmed and suffered, dropping their weapons and cowering or rolling on the ground.
โEnough, donโt kill them.โ
[Understood.]
Immediately after Bahamut replied, the flames that had enveloped the soldiers disappeared.
The smoldering smoke and Luthiyaโs ring, which shone brighter than ever, told us that what had just happened was real.
There was a connection between Luthiya and Bahamut, probably related to Leviathan, which I had heard in my hallucination before, but I donโt have time to pursue it in depth right now.
I turned to Albert, who was astonished.
โItโs over.โ
โAre you going to kill me, you bastard!?โ
I shook my head.
โIโm not going to kill you, because that would cause His Majesty grief. He was saddened by the execution of his child, so how could he not be saddened by the idea of killing each other? So.โ
I took out a small bottle from my pocket.
โ...... poison?โ
โYes. Drink this and kill yourself. If you manage to kill yourself, brother doesnโt have to bring his family and men along with his doom. And your eldest son can take over the house.โ
โDonโt be ridiculous! Thatโs not possible!โ
โIf I step in this matter, your whole household will be destroyed.โ | ๅคใใชใใณใฐใงใฌใดใฃใขใฟใณใใซใใฃใผใคใผใใใฏใฏใใใใขใใใ้งใฎๆ่ผชใจใชใณใฏใใใฆใๆจกๆฌๆฆใใใใฆใใใ

โNo, it wonโt! Foster! Howard! Seize him, this traitor!โ
He shouted, ordering the two men at his side.
I could tell at a glance, he was a pretty strong opponent.
Just when I wondered if I could win.
The two men had Albert pinned down from both sides!
โWhat are you doing?
โI can no longer follow your orders.โ
โNoah-sama still cared for your family and your subordinates. But still, you refuse.โ
โWhat the hell is wrong with you! Donโt listen to his nonsense!โ
โShut up!โ
One of them shouted.
โRemember the 120 people you sacrificed in the thickest miasma just after you broke the seal of Leviathan!โ
The 120 people ...... number sounds familiar.
When Albert first brought the leviathan, he said that 120 people were sacrificed just to get it.
โOne of them was my brother! My childhood friend was also there!โ
โMy father was there too!โ
Foster and Howard let out a blood-curdling scream at Albert.
โNoah-sama.โ
I donโt know their names, but one of them calls out to me in a calmer...... but determined voice.
โHis Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided to commit suicide.โ
โI see. Olivia.โ
Olivia, who I had brought in and had been hiding in the shadows, came out.
โYou do it.โ
โThank you very much!โ
Olivia bowed to me with tears in her eyes, then took the vial and went to Albert.
โDonโt be silly, you whore! Have you forgotten the favor I did you when I picked you up?โ
Albert shouted, but Olivia was unfazed.
Foster and Howard forced Albert to open his mouth.
The three of them shared the responsibility of forcing Albert to drink the poison that I had brought with me.
Albert resisted for a while as his mouth was clamped down, but eventually, it turned into a cramp, and he turned white and blew foam and blood.
Eventually, his strength gave out and the two men lowered Albertโs body to the ground.
โAlbert-sama has committed suicide.โ
I summarized the plot I had drawn up while I was giving him the poison and said.
โMy brother tried to bring about a political change, but his plan was slipped out by one of his subordinates, and fearing failure and exposure, my brother committed suicide. Therefore, according to imperial law, the informer will be rewarded, and the rest of the family will not be questioned at all. As for the house, as I said earlier, I will advise His Majesty to allow my brotherโs eldest son to take over.โ
โโOur endless gratitude!โโ
Howard and Foster got down on one knee and bowed to me.

The โ+โ in abilities went up again, and all the basic abilities went up from F to E.
It seems that the two of them were quite strong after all.
Albert ...... was given up by the two of them.
After all,......, people are treasures.
Albert, who despised it, would not have succeeded in the political change no matter what he did.
Thus, both Gilbert and Albert.
The two who were vigilantly eyeing the Emperorโs throne, and who tried to take it away from His Majesty even by murdering him, are gone.
Now, His Majestyโs reign marked the beginning of a new story, different from the one that had gone before. | ใใใใฏใชใใ! ใใฉในใฟใผ! ใใฏใผใ! ใใใคใๆใใใใๅ้่

The following day.
I was summoned to the Study of the Royal Palace, and as I stood at the entrance, I heard the voice of His Majesty inside.
โNoah? Youโre injured, so no need to bow.โ
โYes, Your Majesty.โ
Even so, I gave a slight bow and entered the library.
His Majesty was, as usual, conducting his affairs surrounded by a large collection of books that looked like a library.
โWelcome, Noah. How is your injury?โ
โItโs nothing to be concerned about, Your Majesty.โ
โGood. But to injure a man as strong as Noah, were those assassins that strong?โ[TN: Mind you our MC is years old now]
His Majesty stared straight at me and asked.
I knew this was coming.
Well, I didnโt think I would be able to cover it up to his Majesty, even though I had further silenced the assassin with my excuses yesterday.
I know from my past experiences that His Majestyโs ears are very attentive.
So Iโm pretty sure that heโs also going to report me for cutting up my own stomach.
Thatโs why I said the script I had spent all night yesterday thinking about.
โAbout the strength...โ
โHmm?โ
โI believe that strength is not just the skill with a sword. That no matter how skilled you are, you can still be baffled by the mental side.โ
His Majesty stared at me for a moment.
He nodded.
Although he had been looking at me with probing eyes just before, now he looked impressed.
โI have a good son, a son that I would not be ashamed to show anywhere.โ
He said such.
He seemed to have understood that I was honest about my self-injury.
โIf everyone was like you, it would be a great help to me. You know what, Noah?โ
โI wonder whatโ
โNine out of ten so-called Virtuous Emperors have had their reputations ruined.โ
โ......โ
I could feel my eyebrows twitching.
The word about reputation ruinedโIt should be about the Crown Princeโs treason.
Itโs not flattery or anything like that, but His Majesty has ruled the empire well.
It can be said that he led the empire to a golden age never seen before in its history.
In the histories of future generations, he will undoubtedly be described as a great ruler.
But what if the rebellion had succeeded?
What if the crown prince had forced him to abdicate, and he had been raised to the position of the supreme emperor?
In his later years, he would be written about as a man who was unable to control even his own son and made him commit a righteous act.
It would be a disgrace to his legacy.
The fact that His Majesty had said it so โstraightforwardlyโ made me understand one more thing.
His Majesty no longer trusts the Crown Prince.
The reason why he doesnโt do anything about it right now is that disinheriting the crown prince would also โRuin his Legacyโ to some extent.
But there was no proof yet, so I continued with the script I had thought of last night.
โYour Majesty, Iโm afraid I have a request to make.โ
โHmm? Do state your request.โ
โMe, Brother Henry, and Brother Oscar. Your Majesty has appointed all three of us as Ministers, but this is the first time for all of us to be involved in something like this, and Iโm afraid we may make some mistakes.โ
โSo I think we need someone to organize them.โ
โSomeone, to organize? You want me to assign you the First Vizier?โ
โNo, I suggest we establish Prime Minster with a Prince, like my Minister of Justice.โ
โPrime Minster........the Prince as Ministerโ
His Majesty rolled the words around on his tongue.
โYes, Prime Minister, that is to say, the one who will be in charge of โallโ. He will be responsible for organizing the Ministry formed around Princes. I want His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince to take that role.โ
โ......โ
His Majesty looked at me with suspicious eyes.
The eyes were wary, wondering what I was saying out of the blue.
Itโs a natural reaction at this stage.
And I continued.
Hereโs what about Prime Minister I have in mind.
By making him the coordinator of all of us in the various ministries, he can make the crown prince imitate the emperor and suppress any thoughts of rebellion.
And the final decision remains with the Emperor. Weโll report back to him after weโve discussed the matter with him, so he wonโt have to bear any additional burden, just one more hassle on our side.
โBut what if the Prime Minister rejects it and doesnโt want to submit it to us?โ
His Majesty raised the obvious question.
And because itโs obvious, my pre-planned script has an answer.
โIn order to prevent this from happening, I would like each of the princes to have the right of direct appeal. If itโs something they feel they must do, they can appeal directly to His Majesty without going through the Prime Minister.โ
โ.................. Amazing.โ
After staring at me for a while, His Majesty commented.
He seemed to understand my intentions.
The essence of this proposal is that the crown prince will be elevated to a position of authority, and while he will be allowed to do something like that, he will not be given any real authority.
He would be our boss, but His Majesty would have the final say, and if we disagreed with him, we could skip over him and talk to His Majesty directly.
In other words, the position of Prime Minister and the Ministry is just a name, a position that does not matter whether it exists or not.
โThat is right...... it would be for the best......โ
He muttered in a low voice.
I knew that His Majesty knew what was going on and understood the purpose of my proposal.
After all, he is a great ruler who should be called as such too.
Iโm convinced the best way for not tarnishing His Majestyโs reputation is for the people to live in peace.
โFumu. You have advised me well. Let us heed your advice.โ
โThank you for the opportunity.โ
โI will discuss the details with the First Vizier later.โ
His Majesty said this and slowly walked towards me from across the desk in his study.
He came right in front of me and put his hand on my head.
โI really ...... wish you had been born earlier. ......โ
I didnโt answer. And I didnโt even try to make a response.
I pretended that I hadnโt heard it, because I thought it was for the best.
I guess His Majesty thought it was a bit much, so he took his hand away from my head, cleared his throat, and stepped away.
โNow, I must reward Noah. For a proposition as good as this, money would be boring โ Curuz.โ
As usual, the trusted eunuch appeared without a sound.
โTo the treasury.โ
With that, Curuz walked out of the study.
And, His Majesty turned towards me.
โI believe the ring was found by Noah through your own judgment.โ
โYes.โ
The ring he was referring to was the one on my thumb.
Although itโs usually in a ring form, when activated, it becomes armor.
And now Iโve linked it to Leviathan, and itโs become an armor that can automatically move in and out to protect me.
โLetโs go to the castle treasury, I want to see your judgment.โ
โIn the treasury, sir?โ
โYes. Pick one of anything you like.โ
โUnderstood.โ
I look forward to what to choose.
Also, from the look in His Majestyโs eyes, I could see that he was looking forward to it as well.
I followed him into the palace treasury.
The treasure room alone was bigger than my mansion.
Naturally, there was a vast array of treasures in the treasury to match its size.
โNow then, you may choose.โ
His Majesty said to me excitedly.
I thought for a moment and then ordered Leviathan.
The range was the entire treasury, avoiding his majesty and the eunuch Curuz, who was waiting beside him.
In the huge treasure room, there was only one response.
I walked in a straight line in the direction of the reaction.
And when I came to a certain shelf, I took a jewel box that was placed there.
I opened it and found a ring with a flaming gem inside.
โThis one.โ
โOoh! Iโm impressed that you chose this one without any hesitation at all, Noah.โ
His Majesty complimented me with an even more excited and overjoyed look.
I had let Leviathan use intimidation in order to find a being with the same personality or soul as Leviathan.
The ring was a response to that.
โYour judgment in choosing the โLuthiyaโ was impressive. Excellent work, Noah.โ
With His Majestyโs permission, I put the ring, Luthiya, on the thumb opposite the armor ring.
Then, my status, which has always been visible to me, changes.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ

It may be because it was already low from the start.
But \the โ+โ in Fire went up to โCโ at once.
โUmu, you have a great eye.โ
It seems that the ring was so amazing that His Majesty was complimenting it. | ๆฌกใฎๆฅใ

In the courtyard of the former Thirteenth Princeโs residence, now the detached palace.
I was engaged in a battle with an old general.
Damien Noble.
He is an honest man who still reigns at the top of the field as the strongest general in the empire.
I was in hand-to-hand combat with Damien Noble.
Each blow of Damienโs sword was heavy.
Itโs heavy, but thatโs not all.
The strike was so powerful that it seemed to penetrate the marrow of the bones just by hitting each other.
There was nothing spectacular about it, just one slash and one kill.
This is a practical sword, forged on countless battlefields.
Once I understood this, we struck each other evenly, and once our swords locked to one another, I stopped and took a big leap back.
I ended the match with the words, โThatโs it.
โAs expected of the strongest general in the empire.โ
Damien also lowered his sword and knelt down on the spot.
โHis Majesty has grown even stronger. It is the grace of God that a man as gifted with the sword as you reign at the top of our Empire.โ
โYou have become a smooth talker. I wonder if old generals who have fought many battles can also lose their edge as they get older.โ
โThis is all my true intention, sire.โ
โI was joking. When I met you, I was old enough to know better.โ
I laughed and emphasized that I was joking.
Damien has the appearance of an old general who has fought many battles, and as his title implies, he has a stern, honest, and jokingly inept side.
I had to make it clear that a joke was a joke.
Looking him over, I brought Damien to the pavilion in the garden and ordered him to sit down.
โI called you here today to discuss, among other things, defeating Galwan.
โTo put it bluntly, I want Jessica to concentrate on the Galwan offensive. To do this, we need to seal off the border, transport supplies, and fodder, and watch out for other forces. I want to make sure everything is in place. Of course, I will discuss this with Henry, but I would also like to hear your opinion as the head of the field.
โHowever, the military is not my area of expertise. To interfere in the field would only repeat the mistakes seen in history. My role is to provide direction. Do you have the tactics or the personnel to match?โ
Damien began by prefacing himself with that.
โFirst, we need to seal the border.โ
โUmu.โ
โMy eldest son, Karl Noble, would be the best man for the job. A certain inflexibility is required to seal the border. He will serve perfectly well if he follows only His Majestyโs orders and makes no exceptions.โ
He meant with great sincerity, huh?
I donโt know about that, but itโs reassuring, depending on how you use it.
โNext, we need to be on the lookout for other forces. For this, I nominate my second son, Kiel.โ
โWhy?โ
โKiel is very patient and has been good at enduring pain since he was a child. He is unlikely to start a war in an unexpected situation, and he is well suited for specific measures to check the situation.โ
โLastly, the transportation of provisions and fodder. Please leave the transportation of provisions and fodder to my fourth son, Yale.โ
โAll right, Iโll leave it to him. You may inform Henry that I have given my approval and consult with him.โ
โThank you for your grace.โ
โI wonโt go into details. At any rate, I want Jessica to concentrate on that one thing, all right?โ
โYou may step back.โ
โExcuse me.โ
Damien knelt once more on the spot, then got up and walked away.
After seeing him off, I called Don.
โYou wanted to see me, Your Majesty?
โDamienโs third son, do you know his name?โ
โI believe it was ...... Neil Noble.โ
โFind out what you can about this Neil.โ
โFor what reason?โ
Don tilted his head in wonder, and I told him about Damienโs recommendation of the three children.
โHe looked exactly the opposite of Father.โ
โThe Emperor?โ
โYeah. The eyes of a man who loves his children. He wanted to somehow scoop up the children who were not doing so well, with his own influence. His reasons were all too contrived. Regarding the transportation of the fourth sonโs food and fodder, he has no reason at all, but he asks for it anyway.โ
โThat Damien, ......โ
Don looked in disbelief.
After all, he was the strongest old general in the Empire, a man with a reputation for honesty and integrity.
Itโs surprising that he has such a side to him.
โSo, find out about the third son.โ
โThe third son, the one whose name didnโt come up?โ
I nodded sharply.
โIf my guess is correct, the third son is the only one who is considered to โget by without the influenceโ.โ
The next day, in the study.
Don, who had finished his research and returned, looked at me with admiration.
โAs expected of His Majesty, it was just as you predicted.โ
โReally?โ
โNeil Noble. It is rumored that he inherited Damien-donoโs talent with the sword and that he inflicted a serious wound on Damien at a training session when he was years old.โ
โOn Damien?โ
โYes.โ
The reason why Damien is still in command of the field at that age is that he is too strong.
Damien has been punished for his excessive actions. He has destroyed things that didnโt need to be destroyed, and as a result, he has drawn the ire of the local people, prolonging the war and its aftermath.
For this, he was punished and lowered in rank.
Because of his repeated war merits and excessive punishments, he was never promoted enough to join the Ministry of War and has remained in the field ever since.
And that Damien was wounded by a twelve-year-old, huh?
โIโm going to see him. Do you know where he is?โ
โYes sir, I will guide you there.โ
A man was in a certain tavern in the castle town.
He was sitting in the corner, drinking sake by hand with a wry smile on his face.
His appearance was not dirty, but quite appropriate.
The man looked disheveled- but his clothes looked as if they had been laundered from the clothes of some local junkie.
Because of his outfit, partly because of his large size, and partly because he wears an eye patch over his right eye that indicates his blindness.
In the crowded bar, it was the only place where people didnโt gather, and it seemed as if there was an empty space.
I went straight over and sat down across from the man, Neil.
โNeil Noble, right?
โOuu, wanna drink lad?โ
He didnโt ask my name back but offered a drink to anyone who spoke to him.
I accept Neilโs cup and down the contents in one gulp.
โYouโre drinking something cheap.โ
โIโm happy to drink as long as it gets me drunk. By tomorrow it will be all pissed off.โ
โSo tell me, lad. What do you want from me?โ
โIโm a scout. Are you interested in working for the Imperial Family?โ
โMe?โ
โWhy?โ
โWhy is it not enough that youโre a good man?โ
โI see. You want me to serve the Emperor?โ
โThatโs what it means.โ
Neil grinned, twisted the corners of his mouth, poured himself another glass of booze, and drank it all in one gulp.
โIโll think about it if the Emperor himself comes to ask me out. Tell him that.โ
โWhat, is that okay with you? You think about it now.โ
โIโm already in front of you.โ
โ ......?โ
The cup spilled from his hand, rolled around on the table, hit a bottle of liquor, and stopped.
Neil, who dropped it, also stopped.
โYo ......?โ
โWhat, you didnโt know what I looked like?โ
โE-Emperor โ His Majesty!โ
Neil suddenly came to himself and stood up in great surprise.
He immediately attracted the attention of the entire bar.
โYeah, I am Noah Ararat, the Emperor of the Empire.โ
While introducing myself, I showed the coat of Arms designed as a ship, with the help of the Livyathan.โ
Whoever it is, they will believe I am the Emperor when I use the Demon sword to announce my name.
It was a name that Neil understood.
โThe Emperor in person? And from the very beginning?โ
โIs it strange?โ
โDid my ...... father ask you to do this?โ
I smiled.
I picked up the cup Neil had dropped, poured himself a drink, downed it, and smiled.
โDamien only recommended three others.โ
Hearing this, Neil regained his composure and grinned.
โThatโs typical of my old man. Those three guys need to get off their asses. Old man is too old to be chewing on his own coffers forever.โ
Neilโs complaint was tinged with a bitter smile.
It seems that Damienโs parental stupidity is quite considerable.
โFuu.โ
โWhatโs the matter, youโre laughing all of a sudden?โ
โNo, I just thought, youโre not jealous when you hear that.โ
โ......โ
โWell, it doesnโt matter. Iโm here in person, so think about it. Will you serve me?โ
โAh โ wait wait, Iโm not good with honorifics and etiquette, serving at the palace โโ
โIs that what this is about? Then letโs just leave it the way it is.โ
โYou want things to stay the way they are?โ | ๅ

โWhatโs weird?โ
โNo, itโs not right. Arenโt you the Emperor? Youโre supposed to have dignity and tradition and all that stuff.โ
โThat doesnโt matter. It matters more that we have the right people.โ
โ......โ
Neil was speechless.
Eventually, he came to his senses, looked up to the heavens, and laughed uproariously.
โHahahahaha, youโre amazing. Iโve never heard of such an Emperor.โ
โI like you. If you like the way I am, Iโll serve you.โ
I offered my hand for a handshake, and Neil laughed harder than ever as he shook my hand.

Its voice is pompous, but I donโt sense any hostility or harm.
Above all, the โ+โ in my status has increased.
Rather than being an enemy, it follows me, just like Leviathan and the rest.
And, then.
Like Leviathan and the others, I linked it to my armor ring and made it materialize.
The material of the ring quickly transformed into a bird with enormous wings (compared to its body).
{My name is Ziz. A demon bird that symbolizes the sky, the counterpart of Leviathan and Behemoth.}[TN: The Ziz(ใธใบ) is a giant griffin-like bird in Jewish mythology, said to be large enough to be able to block out the sun with its wingspan]
The ostentatious tone of voice echoed in my mind.
At the same time, I heard a name I knew well.
Leviathan, and Behemoth.
These are all the ones that follow me.
This Ziz is just like them, it said itself.
โSo follow me, as Leviathan and the others do.โ
In the next moment, an image came into my mind.
The image of wielding power โ Zizโs power.
โInteresting ......, Iโll try it right away.โ
As I said this, Ziz released his embodiment and retracted it into a feather ornament.
I held it, and with all my strength, I focused on it.
Immediately after, wings sprouted from my back.
The wings were huge, about twice the size of my arms sticking out to the sides.
They were white like a swanโs, but they appeared to be glowing, wings of light.
โWoah. ......โ
Gran, who witnessed it, let out an exclamation of admiration.
I tried to flap my wings.
โMu. ......โ
Itโs like the first time I walked on two legs after being reincarnated, but I couldnโt muster the strength to do it.
My body feels connected to it, but I canโt move it well.
Still trying to move it, my whole body trembles and I put more effort into it.
Gradually, my wings began to move.
Flap, flap, flap, flapโ.
The flapping of the wings became smoother and smoother.
โI-I ma flying!?โ
My feet left the ground, and my body was lifted up little by little.
As a result of flapping my wings with almost all my strength, I was able to fly up to the height of my own height.
This made me so happy that I let my guard down, and as a result, my wings stopped flapping and I fell straight down.
Since I fell straight down, I didnโt lose my balance and the landing went smoothly.
โWoah! I canโt believe you can fly like an angel.โ
As Gran was praising me, more images from Ziz were pouring into my mind.
I was starting to get the gist of it.
Practice, and discipline.
With practice, I could make my wings move more like a part of my body, and with increasing level and ability, I could increase my flying ability to a practical level.
I felt confident that this was an ability that I could use.
The next morning, while I was doing political work in my study, Henry, the Fourth Prince, requested an audience.
As I let him into the room, he knelt down and bowed to me with a very serious expression on his face.
โWhatโs the matter, Henry, you look grim.โ
โIโm afraid so as this report has come to light, I donโt know what to do.โ
โLet me see.โ
I took the report from Henry and looked it over.
It is a report addressed to Henry, the Minister of War.
The report is from the governor of a small town in the outskirts of the country, where bandits have taken over one of the mountains and there are disturbing movements.
The report stated that they would do everything in their power to destroy them.
โTheir number is ,, huh?โ
โYes. Lermo is a town in the countryside that I didnโt even know the name of, and itโs a big deal that ,00 bandits are showing disturbing movements there. If weโre not careful, the entire city could fall, and the situation could rapidly expand, leading to a rebellion.โ
โFumu.โ
โIโd like to ask His Majestyโs approval if we should send an army from the center to suppress it.
As I listened to Henry, I reread the report from the beginning.
Andโ
โFuu. ......โ
I couldnโt help but let out a chuckle, which made one corner of my mouth lift up.
โYour Majesty? Whatโs so funny?โ
โ Henry has dealt with rebels many times, but never with remote bandits, I believe.โ
โYes, thatโs true, but ......โ
What about it? Henry stares at me.
And while smiling back at him,
โIn this kind of report on the banditsโ subjugation, the number of enemies is reported larger โ no, much larger.โ
โ...... Why is that?โ
Henry frowned and asked back.
โThere are two main reasons. The first is about money. The more enemy there is, the more we need to increase our forces to compete. And if there are actually fewer enemies, you can just accept the budget and not have to raise more troops.โ
โ Thatโ s what His Majesty pointed out that time with Rice, isnโt it?โ
I smiled softly.
Nostalgic.
At that time, Henry was the Minister of War, and I was just a helper.
Now, Henry is still the Minister of War, but Iโm the Emperor.
It was interesting to see the difference in our positions.
โAnd one more thing. If you report a much larger number of enemy troops, you can create the illusion that your victory is greater than it is, and that your defeat was inevitable. In fact, Henry must have thought that things were out of control there and that the center had to do something about it.โ
โIndeed.โ
โTo begin with.โ
I smiled even more and handed him the report.
Henry receives it and I continue.
โIt made Henry concerned enough to come to me for advice, but itโs just a โreport,โ not a word about reinforcements.โ
โ...... Indeed. The only thing it says is that we will annihilate them with all our might.โ
โIf there were reinforcements, they would be in trouble, wouldnโt they?โ
โI see. Thatโs right, Your Majesty, youโve got a good eye.โ
As Henry bowed his head, Don entered the study.
โHis Highness, the Fourth. Excuse me. I hope Iโm not interrupting anything important.โ
โNever mind, the conversation is finished.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โYour Majesty received something like this.โ
Don said and held out a box.
Fuwawaโs box.
It is a box that I gave to some trusted people scattered around the country to tip them off.
I took it and used Fuwawaโs power to open the box.
There was a letter inside, and I took it out and read it.
โFuu ..... fuhahahaha.โ
โYour Majesty?โ
โWhatโs the matter?โ
Henry and Don wondered.
I smiled and handed the letter to Henry.
Henry read it โ and he laughed, too.
โI told you so, didnโt I?โ
โYes. ...... The actual number of bandits is 500. Thatโs a tenth.โ
The tip-off had come from Lermo.
It is true that the bandits have taken over the nearby mountains and are making disturbing movements, but the number of bandits is estimated to be about five hundred at most.
โWe donโt need to send any troops.โ
โYou are very perceptive, sir.
Henryโs impatient expression when he rushed in earlier was completely blown away, and his expression became easy.
โBut itโs not good to have bandits popping up here and there so often.โ
I looked at the report Henry had brought with him.
In the future, Iโm going to expand the reach of the Empire.
If Iโm going to deploy outward, I need to calm the country down.
I canโt concentrate on deploying troops if there are bandits messing around here and there.
We have to do something about it. ......
โLike a monsterโs nest, we could manage it reasonably well and use it to train new soldiers.โ
Henry suggested.
โThatโs a good idea. But we canโt keep doing that. Because sooner or later weโll have to go โoutโ and fight.
โLetโs see, weโll think about that later. Henry, keep it in the back of your mind for now.โ
โBy your will.โ
Henry bowed his head once, then remembered.
โBy the way, Jerry Eisenโs group has been successful again.โ
โHooh?โ
Jerry Eisen.
He used to be a bandit, but since he seemed to be useful, I sent him into the army under the guise of serving a sentence.
After that, with his meritorious service, his sentence was lifted and he became a full-fledged soldier.
โMilitary service and honor โ and women.โ
Henry laughed bitterly.
โIf you give them that, theyโll work themselves to death. Your Majesty has the good sense to recognize those people and put them in the right places.โ
โ...... Thatโs it!โ

One afternoon, I was visited by Byron Allan.
Byron is under me, so I met him in my living room, which I use on a daily basis, not in the parlor for guests.
Iโm sitting on the couch, and Byron is standing.
Behind Byron, the servants were still bringing in boxes and other things and piling them up.
As I look at them, I ask Byron.
โI just received news from the palace. Ada has officially become a โCommon Queenโ in His Majestyโs favor.
I understood what he meant, and nodded.
Eida is the woman that Byron offered to the royal court as a servant.
Six years ago, I met her, and based on my advice, selected her.
That woman has been promoted to Queen in His Majestyโs embrace.
โThis is just a small token of my gratitude.โ
I sat down and looked at the box behind Byron.
The box was almost open, revealing the gold and silver treasures inside.
โYouโve spent a lot of money, about thirty thousand reens.โ
โ.......โ
โWhatโs the matter, you look so surprised?โ
โYeah. I was just surprised by Noah-samaโs eyes. To guess the exact amount of money, thatโs impressive.โ
Whatโs that about?
โIโm happy for the time being. First of all, the common consort, huh.โ
โYes.โ
โAbove the common queen is the side queen, above that the legitimate queen, and at the top is the empress.
โYes, eventually, I hope, sheโll be a legitimate queen.โ[TN: I was thinking of using consort]
I nodded at Byronโs wish.
The status of the women in the palace is divided by rank.
At the top is, of course, the Empress.
Below her is the legitimate queen, who has the meaning of โRegularโ.
Below the legitimate queen is the โside queen,โ meaning โconcubine,โ and at the bottom is the โ common queen,โ with the character for โcommonerโ attached.
Like officials, the queens rose through the ranks based on their favor and the status of their sons.
The mother of the crown prince is the empress, and the mother of the prince is unconditionally a concubine.
I became a โwiseโ prince six years ago, so my mother also became a legitimate queen at that time, one step above.
Needless to say, thereโs only one empress, so if you want to move up, a legitimate queen is a de facto pinnacle.
โNow all we have to do is pray that His Majesty will give her more favor.โ
โNo, itโs politics from here on out.โ
โEh?โ
Byron was surprised.
He looks like heโs just been told something he hadnโt thought of.
โI said politics. Obviously, gaining His Majestyโs favor is the quickest way, but other than that, politics between queens is important.โ
โIs that so?โ
โDonโt try to make a mistake with that. What would happen if one of the Queens switched out Queen Adaโs perfume with a scent that His Majesty hates?โ
โโ!โ
Byron gulped, his face turning pale as soon as he heard it.
โThe palace is as much an abyss as the menโs world, if not more so.โ
โY-yes!โ
โSend money, resources to Queen Ada. Once she understands itโs politics, sheโll know how to do it, right?โ
โOf course! Thank you very much!โ
Byron said, bowed hurriedly, and left with his servants.
I pondered for a moment and finished one of my letters, using the paper and pen that I also kept in my living room.
โAnyone there?โ
Just after I called out, my maid, Zoe, came in.โ
She was probably waiting outside the door the whole time.
โYou wanted to see me, master?โ
โYeah, go and deliver this letter, along with about ten thousand leens in cash, to my mother in the rear palace.โ
โWell, ...... me? Wouldnโt Dylan-san be a better choice for the royal court?โ
Zoe wondered if why he wasnโt the one I picked.
โMen are forbidden in the inner palace. Not even me, her son, can enter.โ
โThe prince is separated from his mother as soon as he is born. He only gets to see his mother once a year or so.โ
โAh, by the way, ......โ
Other than the royal family, I often talk about these things as small talk.
Iโm sure Zoe, who has been with me for quite some time, has heard of this sort of thing at least vaguely.
โThatโs not important right now. Mother โ when you meet the queen, give her a message, too. Tell her that I intend to be the guardian of Queen Ada.โ
โWell, ......, are you taking your mother into politics?โ
โYour mother is ......, isnโt she?โ
โThatโs what the royal family is all about. Even if youโre a real parent and a real child, your interests and values are more important than your feelings. Ada is the girl I chose, she is serious and ambitious. If Queen Ada goes up, she will be a good ally for Mother.โ
โHaha ......, the nobility is an amazing world, isnโt it ....... I understand. Iโll be right there.โ
Zoe rolled her tongue, accepted my order, and headed for the royal palace.
On the afternoon of that day, a messenger came from the Bardsley Shop on Cobalt Street.
Alan, the owner of the store, had found a treasure, and he wanted me to come anytime.[His first name is the Last name for the previous character in the story ]
So I headed to the Bardsley store by myself.
โWelcome, to my store! His Imperial Highness the Thirteenth.โ
When I arrived at the store, the owner, Alan Bardsley, greeted me with a big smile.
Iโve been here many times before.
I walked in with Alan as if it were my own mansion, and we entered the guest room in the back.
Sitting down on a chair, I asked him quickly.
โSo what kind of treasure is it?โ
Almost as soon as Alan held up his hand, a shopkeeper brought in a cloth-covered object.
โIs that a ...... painting?โ
Alan tucked his chin to his man.
The cloth was removed to reveal a painting in a frame.
It was a picture of a beautiful woman.
โItโs a painting called Fuwawa.โ
I stood up, approached the painting, and peered at it from up close.
โ...... is it cursed?โ
โVery good, sir!โ
Alan said, and held up his hand again.
Then another of Alanโs subordinates walked in with another painting.
This time it was not covered with a cloth, and I immediately recognized what it depicted.
A girl.
Itโs just a painting, but if you look closely, you can see the face of the first painting โ a beautiful woman depicted in Fuwawa.
โWhat is this?โ
โItโs a replica, sir. I heard it was a replica from the time when Fuwawa was painted.โ
โI see. A cursed picture that grows.โ
I looked at the two pictures in turn.
Fuwawa and its replica.
I could see it clearly.
Through Leviathan, I can see that the real thing is giving off an uncanny vibe.
If this is it...
I grabbed the leviathan.
I take out the Leviathan, which has shrunk enough to be hidden by the bracelet and return it to its original size.
Then I swing it down.
The painting Fuwawa was cut in half with a single swing.
โYour Highness!?โ
Alan was surprised, wondering what I was doing.
Immediately after, he was even more surprised.
To his surprise, the painting that looked like it had been cut was completely undamaged, but a beautiful woman jumped out of the painting.
Her figure was translucent, and her body was floating in the air.
The beautiful woman looked like a ghost.
โโโ
The ghostโFuwawaโs mouth moved as if she had spoken something.
โW-What is it?โ
Alan asked me curiously since there was no physical voice.
The paints in this painting are made of her own blood. The guy who painted it must have been crazy, he killed her when she was a kid and mixed her blood with oil paint to paint her.โ
โI-Is that so....โ
Fuwawa said something more.
It was still inaudible and probably only I could hear it.
โW-What is saying now?โ
โI want to repay you for freeing me. In that case, swear your allegiance to me.โ
Okayโafter hearing that, Fuwawa went back into the painting.
She came right back out and went back in again.
Thanks to the Leviathan breaking the bond, it seems she is no longer trapped in the painting, but can use it as a substitute to come and go at any time.
And.

Itโs a cursed picture, but considering how it was born, itโs about right.
Not bad.
Alan, on the other hand, was watching Fuwawa coming and going.
โW-Wow ....... I didnโt expect a cursed painting to turn out like this. ......โ

I'm back ~
When you return to the village of the High Elves, you will be gathered together.
For some reason, everyone has a face that doesn't float.
Dragon hunting failed?
I heard that Mr. Jรธrgen was terrified.
What? Failure?
I'm dumbfounded because I don't know what I'm talking about.
"Because I didn't just leave this morning." And yet, you're already back. "
"No, Adela-san is right..."
I left in the morning and now it's dusk.
It's normal for people to come home after hunting.
"The opponent was Green Dragon (Green Dragon)." Even if you fail to hunt, you won't be ashamed. "
"That's right. Once upon a time, when we defeated the Green Dragon, our warriors finally defeated it after three days and three nights of total collision." It's not like that. No one blames you for failing. โ
When Verte and Radmir say that, Selma and Laura look at us and nod with care, saying, "Yes."
...... Ah, that kind of thing.
I finally understood.
The Green Dragon was finally defeated three days and three nights by the mighty men of the High Elf Warrior.
And yet, we're out in the morning and back in the evening.
So you think we failed in our quest to hunt the Green Dragon.
I see.
In fact, I'm sure the high elves would think so because they have a proven track record of defeating the Green Dragon.
But not in our case.
When I looked at Fel and the others......
Humph, don't be with the lords.
Fel says so with a grumpy look on his face.
That's right. I don't think they're going to get behind every Green Dragon.
Grandpa Gong was also in a bad mood.
That's right, that's right! We're not gonna lose! The Green Dragon is bumpy. Kill him instantly!
Dora-chan is also indignant at the word "failure" of the high elves, so she protests while waving her short arm around.
But I don't think the High Elves can hear you.
Besides, Dora-chan, I definitely made a mess of things, but I overstated instant killing.
I didn't make a mistake! I defeated Mr. Dragon!
Sweetie was angry with Punska as she vibrated fast over Fel's head.
I heard Fel and Grandpa Gon say, "Huh?" and the high elves who stop the movement.
"Um, the hunt itself is soothing, no, it's not soothing." Did you fear our attack? There was something unexpected about the Green Dragon fleeing back to the stash, but I was able to defeat it in such a short time. "
When I say that, the high elves say, "Eh..." and open their mouths.
Six beautiful men and beautiful women from all over the world are all in one place with no tight faces, so I almost laughed unintentionally.
That's right. After that, I was hungry, so I was eating slowly, so it was this time. Without it, I would have been back for a long time. "
When Fel said that, Grandpa Gong, Dora-chan, and Sui agreed, โThat's right.โ
"Give me dinner......"
"I was eating slowly....."
Everyone was surprised.
And for some reason, he looked at me with an indescribable face.
No, I don't care if you look at me like that.
It's not my fault.
This is how we all always look like.
Everyone is strong, so it can't be helped.
"Well, uh, that's why it's late today, so please dismantle it tomorrow."
Having received the gaze of the High Elves, I was impatient, and I abandoned it and quickly retreated to the house I was renting with Fel and the others.
โโโโโ
The next morning, as they finished their breakfast and headed for the dismantling site, the high elves were already ready and waiting.
Good morning.
Good morning.
As soon as I greeted everyone lightly, I started talking to the Green Dragon.
"As expected, no one as big as the Green Dragon can get in here, so dismantling is outside."
When Jรธrgen says that, Velte nods, who will be the center of the dismantling.
"Oh, thankfully the weather is nice today." So, Laura, please. "
Yeah.
Laura, asked by Verde to build a large platform in the village square with earth magic.
Laura seems to be the best soil magician among them.
Is the size this good?
Laura said that to Verde, and now Verde asks me, "What do you think?" The question comes.
"It's the size of a green dragon, isn't it?" Well, maybe it's better to be a little bigger. "
After hearing my words, Mr. Laura is making the stage bigger.
"You were quite a big guy..."
Mr. Radmir, who was watching at his side, crushed it.
"Alright, this size is fine." It's a dragon. You can't waste a drop of blood. Please harden the surface of the table so as not to stain it with blood. And it's a little low so that there's blood on this side. "
Later, under Mr. Verde's direction, Ms. Laura tweaked the platform for dismantling the Green Dragon.
Verde checked the whole thing.
"Then, at last..."
"Mukoda, take the Green Dragon."
Yes.
The Green Dragon was pulled out of the Item Box to sit on the table.
"Oh, oh," the high elves groaned at the size.
"It's so big..."
High Elves look at the Green Dragon on the platform.
"But that's it." I knew that Mcoda had an item box, but you have a high elf-like item box for such a big guy. I've never seen a human before. "
I'm thrilled that Mr. Jรธrgen told me that.
Well, well. Thankfully, the capacity is quite large.
and deceive appropriately.
"More than that..."
Do you High Elves have an item box?
"Yeah. Because we have a lot of magic power, I've never seen anyone without it." Well, the capacity varies, but even a small number of them can fit into that house. "
Mr. Jรธrgen points to the house that was nearby while saying so.
"Hey, that's pretty good."
It's small, but the item box that can fit in one house is really amazing.
If you were an adventurer, you'd pull yourself out.
A high elf is a winning team.
There are even 0 green dragons of this size that might be able to afford it.
Radmir said that, and Verde said, "Oh, Lucas. He took care of me when I came to this island."
"Hey, hey, that's enough of this nonsense."
"He's a big guy, so it'll take time to dismantle."
Let's get started.
The high elf ladies slapped her husband's butt in dismantling, which was hard to begin.
The men who were told to move quickly began to move.
The one holding Verde's hand was a white knife.
It is not made of metal.
Looking at it like that, Mr. Verde noticed my gaze.
"Is this it? Okay."
You're proud of yourself, and you show me the whole thing.
Is it okay if it's not a mistletoe knife?
"Ha ha, no problem." This is a knife made from Earth Dragon claws. Mythrill knife isn't bad either, but I like it better here. If it's sharp, this knife is better. Well, I think you'll see. "
Then Verde pierced the Green Dragon with the Earth Dragon's claw knife.
According to Verde, the Earth Dragon knife is sharp, and the skin of the hard dragon is shredded.
In addition, the cooperation of the high elves is perfect, and the dismantling of the Green Dragon has progressed while it was still underway.
And......
"Fu, it's over."
Saying that, I wipe my sweat off, Mr. Verde.
The dismantling was finished a little after noon.
Then Fel, Grandpa Gong, Dora-chan, and Sweetheart, who were quiet, moved.
'Huhahahaha. Well done. It was worth the endurance of the day. "
Alright, my lord, I'm a little late, but I'll have lunch now.
This is a dragon steak you can't wait for!
Dragon Steak!
It's so quiet, and if you thought lunch wouldn't be noisy, you were aiming for this.
Dragon steak as soon as it's dismantled.
So, you guys are looking forward to it too much.
I don't know, they're really foodies.
Well, I told you it was a dragon steak.
"Heh heh. Okay."
When I ate the dragon, I was the one preparing to bake the dragon steak for the ugly cannibal quartet. | ใใใ ใใพๆปใใพใใ~ใ

The next morning, I headed with Fell to the Adventurer Guild.
Heading directly to the purchasing desk, there was a tough old man yesterday.
"Good Morning"
"Whoa, I'm ready. I keep it in the warehouse because there is a lot of meat. Follow me."
Me and Fell follow the old man.
There were piles of meat in the warehouse.
"This is the meat they asked for."
Oh, with all this, you'll have it for a while, no matter how much Fell eats.
I'll quickly put the meat in the item box.
"As I thought yesterday, you have a cool capacity item box."
That's what my old man told me, but I appropriately answered "ha".
Meat is more important, so I'm not weighing myself in right now.
Besides, this old man found out as of yesterday.
You won't be coming to this Adventurer Guild again in the first place, so you won't be seeing this old man again.
I plan to leave this city today or tomorrow.
It's forbidden to stay long.
"Then we'll settle the purchase next."
When I finished putting the meat in the item box, my old man put some kind of heavy hemp bag in front of me.
"Uh, breakdown, but first it's the oak. Oak is a testicle when it comes to non-meat material, but it's two gold coins and five silver coins, one on the left and one on the right. Red Bore is next. Two gold coins and four silver coins with material of x skin and x fangs. And Cocatrice. This was the highest price for meat, but otherwise it would only be the wings. There were a few scratches on those wings, so five silver coins for three Cocatrices."
Whatever the orc testicles are one of the ingredients of the energizer, and they need a pair of left and right testicles to create a single energizer.
I'm sorry if it was me no matter how energetic they say it is, but the energizer I can make seems like a cool amount, but it's very popular.
Red bore skin is popular as a material for shoes, bags and belts, and fangs are said to be used for crafts.
Cocatrice blades are said to be used for pillows.
"You're rockbird next. This is seven gold coins with a mouth and wings. The next Giant Dodo is also a mouth and wings, and this one has a small but demonic stone, so put that in it too, gold coins. And it's Giant Deere. The material is horns and skins, and this guy also had demon stones, so put that in. Twenty-eight gold coins. These guys are B-rank demons, but you're lucky both Dodo and Deer had demon stones."
Rockbird's mouth and wings are said to be material for bow arrows.
It seems that the arrows made with this are coveted arrows for bowmen because of their penetrating properties that make it easier to carry wind magic while still using them.
The mouth and wings of the Giant Dodo (a big, non-flying bird with degenerate wings) say that the mouth will be made of magic equipment (like pendants, bracelets, and rings with many effects) and the wings will be made of luxury duvets.
They say the horns of Giant Deer (who's a big deer anyway) become good material for the wizard wand, and the skin becomes material for leather armor.
Demonic stones taken from Giant Dodo and Giant Dear are stones packed with magic, and they have many uses depending on their attributes. Demon stones can only be taken from demons above the B rank, which means they are often traded for high prices.
Then, it is said that about % of all B ranks have demon stones instead of demon stones, and that all demons, large and small, will finally have demon stones after A rank.
"And that's two A-ranks. I haven't seen A-rank in a long time, either. Black Serpent is a poison bag, liver, fangs, eyeballs, skin, then a pretty good demon stone, so that includes 64 gold coins. The next is Murder Grizzly, but 78 gold coins because I got my liver, nails, fur, and from now on a bigger demon stone. That's A-rank."
Black Serpent (black and big snake) poison bags seem to have a lot of uses (though I was scared to ask) and the liver is going to be a nourishing drug ingredient.
Then they say fangs will be material for magic props, eyeballs will be material for canes, and skins will be material for leather armor like that used by high-ranking adventurers. Looks like the demon stone I'm about to take was quite a size with the water attribute.
Murder Grizzly's liver means that this will also be an ingredient for the medicine, and the nails will be magic props, and the furs will be bought by the nobles as rugs.
And the Demon Stone, but this was said to have been of such a size that it was the highest price.
"It's all 204 gold coins and four silver coins. From there, the cost of demolition, this time it turned me around a lot of high ranking demons, so I just need a little discount and two gold coins and four silver coins. Minus that, it's just 202 gold coins. We all want it in gold, so we have it, but if you'd rather have white and large gold coins, we'll have it in a minute."
"Yes, no, gold is fine"
After a lot of shopping and a peek at the city's stores, it appeared that no large gold coins or white gold coins were used in Ichii, and even those priced at more than ten gold coins were not labeled as large gold coins.
Probably big gold coins and white gold coins as currency, but I don't think there's much out there.
Nevertheless, over 200 gold coins...
I didn't do anything.
I'll take what I can get for now.
Will you let Fell eat meat from other worlds later?
"Oh, and, you know, someone I know asked me to ask, and I'm pretty sure your obedience is in Fenrill, right?
I heard it as my old man watched Fell yawn behind me without me involved.
Yeah, but what?
"Actually, some people say he's the Great Wolf."
We all know rumors about anything that says "the guy who obeyed Fenrill came to the city," but some people say there's no way a legendary warcraft like Fenrill could obey people, and there's half the Fenrill theory and the Great Wolf theory.
Great Wolf is an A-rank demon, and it looks like a grey hairy wolf about the size of Fell.
"I don't hate people who've seen Fenrill in the first place. But I was quite an adventurer before this job, too. If you ask me, I can't think of anything other than Fenrir."
Fenrill theory and Great Wolf theory?
Maybe I heard something good.
From now on, I thought I shouldn't go into a very big city because of Fell, but when I have to go in anyway, I might have a hand in saying that it's a Great Wolf.
Still, you'd be surprised because Great Wolf is an A-rank demon, but it would be better than saying Fenrill.
The old man seems to know, so I left the warehouse without saying that Fell was either Fenrill or different.
And today, as yesterday, I slipped through the adventurers' gaze and followed the Adventurer Alliance with Sosa and Fell.
"Fell, I've served my purpose in this city, too, so I'm going to leave this city, okay?
'I don't care either way. Hopefully they'll even feed us some delicious rice.'
Oh, is that right?
Okay, let's go.
Thus we followed the city of Fariere. | ็ฟๆใไฟบใฏใใงใซใซๅ้บ่

After I got out of the dungeon, for now, I headed to the Adventurers Guild for a report.
I was going to ask the receptionist at the desk to tell Alliance Master Tristan that we were back from the dungeon and return as soon as possible.
However, the admirable Mr. Tristan found him and directed him to the Guildmaster's room at some point with a low back attitude and tactics.
The attitude of the Fells without regard to what comes with them.
Lie down in the space behind the chair where I sit. It's nap mode for both Fell, Dra and Sui.
"Hey, well done. I'm back! What if, in this short period of time, you broke a dungeon?
"No, no, that's just it"
Having reached Mr. Tristan up to forty levels.
We talked about how defeating the boss there gave us a metastatic stone and so on.
"Hmm, I see. There's going to be a transfer stone on the next levels of the thirty. This is new information! But that's a new record for 40 tiers! The highest-ranking hierarchy to date is on the 37th floor, and I didn't know it would soon surpass that. No, that's just a word in S-rank."
"No, well, there, haha"
Mostly because of Fell, Dora and Sui's strongest trio, but hey.
"Oh, and then..."
An adventurer's party, said to be one of the country's finest powerful factions, misplaced in the 37 tiers.
I also showed Mr. Tristan what I had picked up once, telling him that the weapons guys were scattered in the boss room on the 37th floor, which would be the party's belongings.
"No way...... But this weapon definitely belongs to them...... Really? Ha..."
It also seemed to be one of the earners in this dungeon, and Mr Tristan dropped his shoulders on that report as well.
"But danger comes with the profession of adventurer. Each of them should be aware of it."
It's cynical, but, well, it does happen in the profession of adventurer.
Later, the survivors will be notified by the Adventurer Alliance.
The weapons I've picked up, they mean I picked up more possession than I have.
"I'll change the story, because this is also important..."
Mr. Tristan comes gouging with a grin and rubbing hands as he says so.
The point was to talk about whether you could let me hear any information up to 40 tiers.
For the leading adventurers, the information on each floor is of paramount importance for them to explore the dungeons in their favor.
The lower the level, the harder it is to gather information.
Well, the maps you can buy in the guild are up to thirty tiers.
Up to the 37th floor of the highest-ranking hierarchy so far, it looks like we didn't even know the demons that came out with the information hidden.
The 37th floor was a hierarchy of know-how for us, or Fel and Dora and Sui.
"Of course I'm not asking you to tell me everything. I don't mind if I go as far as I can."
"That's fine, but we didn't go around each hierarchy without scratching it either, so as far as I can tell..."
I told Mr. Tristan about the shape of each hierarchy and the demons that come out.
They ask me a lot about the 37 hierarchy and beyond, which I didn't have any information on in particular, and I'm going to talk to them as far as I can tell.
"Is Giganto Minotaur in the 37 hierarchy? It sure sounds familiar..."
Mr. Tristan pulls out the demonic atlas in his hand and turns the page.
"This demon, right?
Show me the open page with the demon atlas on the table.
"Yes, it is. It was twice the size of a normal minotaur."
Speaking of that, he was grinning at his mouth as he looked at the drawings and said, "Hmm, I see this demon makes the meat very tasty and the skins and horns are also material for the finest martial arts," etc.
Anything. This demon atlas belongs to Mr. Tristan, and when he arrived here as Alliance Master, he got excited that he should also know what type of demon he is or where he bought it.
It goes without saying how useful the demon atlas are.
"Thirty-eight hierarchies are Gigantominotaurus, too, but the number that came out was many different digits"
"I see, being broken through there means getting a lot of meat, skin, and horns."
With that said, Mr. Tristan's eyes gleam.
No, I do, but I don't sell meat.
Because if you do that, the meat-loving trio will go mad.
Ignore Mr. Tristan's guillari and glowing eyes and continue the conversation.
"Thirty-nine levels were forests."
"Ho, woods, is that it? I heard the dungeons had that kind of hierarchy, but so did the dungeons here in Brixt. This is a big harvest."
With that said, Mr. Tristan takes notes on the paper he puts aside the drawings.
"So, 39 hierarchies had a lot of worm-based demons. The boss was a four-arms bear."
When I say that, Mr. Tristan says, "Four Arms Bear?!," he wailed in excitement as he rattled and sounded.
"Yeah, yeah, but..."
Asking too many eaters why, the fur of the four Arms Bear is very popular with the noblemen, as well as the liver becoming a powerful energizer ingredient.
Just for the record, Mr. Tristan told me that when a vigorous agent using four Arms Bear liver is put up for sale, elderly aristocrats will buy this without threading at the amount.
I don't even want to hear what it's for, but the four Arms Bear liver is going to be pricey, and there's nothing I can do about it, so you decide to go buy it.
"So, who's the material?
Because Mr. Tristan eats too much.
"Uh, I got quite a few drops, so I'd like to take some for myself about that, and I'll sort it out, then, please"
It was an exploration of the 20th and 30th to 40th floors, but I don't know because I got enough quantitatively not to take a pull on the drops in the dungeons of the drains and averings.
I knew I had to sort it out to figure it out for myself.
I'm going to buy it from you.
"Can't we manage to buy it right now?
"Hey, I knew it had to be properly organized once..."
I know how you feel, but I need to check it out for once.
"Well, if that's the case, I can't help it."
He looks very sorry, Mr. Tristan, but he pulled me off here.
Because I will sort it out as soon as possible and send it out for purchase.
"You go on about the dungeon. Forty tiers, but this was also a forest. You had a lot of beast demons here. So the boss was a monster named Zlatrok."
"Zlatrok, is it? What if..."
That's what I say, and I peruse the demonic drawings.
"Is this demon?
Mr. Tristan showed me a picture of a deer-like demon on the Demon Atlas page.
"That's right. The horns, the hair on his body were golden and huge."
"This is another amazing demon out there. That's exactly what happens when you become a 40-story boss..."
Ms Tristan said that the golden horns and furs seem to be very rare in Zlatrok itself, and that the most recent story was that about a hundred years ago in the Kingdom of Marvel the S-rank adventurers of the time had heard that both horns and furs had been dedicated to the king.
"A hundred years ago most recently, and dedicated to the King... That kind of thing..."
"Yes. You have it, don't you?
"Yeah. And give me two heads."
"Is that for two heads?
Mr. Tristan looked indescribable when he explained that he was collecting violet berries after defeating the first head and that the second one would appear in the middle of it.
"You guys are really out of standard."
No, no, because our obedient trio is the only one out of the standard.
That's how we finished the conversation, one line after the Adventurer Guild.
Mr. Tristan asked me to drop it as soon as possible.
โ โ โ โ โ
After returning from the Adventurer's Guild to the magnificent house we had rented, dinner was easy and we enjoyed our first bath in a long time.
"Ha, I knew a bath would be nice."
"Right."
"Feelings - Hey."
"I don't feel good at all."
About one person has not enjoyed the bath.
Fell takes a shower out of the tip of Sui's tentacles with his infidel, rotten face.
"You can't help it. Dungeon, you're getting dirty on the way home."
I'm not dirty!
"No, you're dirty. It may not look like it, but I've been running around the woods, so it's definitely getting dusty."
"Gu Tu"
"I don't know. Give it up already."
"Ahaha, yeah, yeah. It's not as bad a bath as Fell says. '
"Uncle Fell, you must feel - Lots of hot water - ' | ใใณใธใงใณใใๅบใๅพใใจใใใใใฏๅ้บ่

"Damn, that's what you say because both Dora and Sui like to bathe."
Wash it with washer washer with the usual veterinarian recommended hypoallergenic dog shampoo that I bought the vertebrae Fell from online supermarket.
For dislike's sake, Fell is also loud about "Wash harder there" and "Keep this one in mind".
Flushing away the foam in Sui's shower, Fell went up from the bath one foot ahead, shaking his body lavishly with Brumbourne and turning off the water.
Then me and Dora and Sui slowly soaked in the water and soothed their fatigue in the dungeon.
Going up from the bath to the living room, Fell was lying down, finished drying his body with wind magic.
"Look, you were dirty after all. It's a beautiful haircut."
When I say that, Fell regrettably says, 'Hung, my hairy hair is always beautiful'.
"Oh, sweet drink."
"Yes, yes, the usual fruit milk. Fell and Dora drink, too, right?
"Of course."
Naturally.
After a long bath break, Fell, Dora and Sui head upstairs to the bedroom one foot away.
Then we'll go to bed first.
"Oh, good night."
'Totally, I had a terrible eye. Let's get some sleep.'
"Ferru, it's only after the dungeon that it was in terrible shape, so it's natural to make it beautiful. I hate baths, but I can't help it when it's like this."
"Good night, Ruju. I'm not here yet."
"Yes, yes, because I'll be there as soon as I'm done"
After the Fells head to the bedroom, they're my status checks and problem tenants...
"But Fell, Dora and I were up to the level of Sui. Especially since Suey was up a lot."
Sui was the number one fighter in the dungeon, so it might be natural.
By the way, here's Fell, Dora and Sui's current status.

Fell is just some of the originally high levels and only one is up, but the very fact that he's still up at this high level is amazing.
Nevertheless, it's a status that I can't fly to at any time.
That's just the legendary Warcraft, isn't it?
Dora said she's definitely three levels up.
I don't know, because Dora's got a high level from the beginning.
Still leveling up, so it feels like how much we're fighting.
As far as Sui was concerned, he was up eight levels.
I don't know because Sui fought as much as he wanted. (distant eyes)
I didn't know you couldn't go up there, but you're fighting too much, Suey.
"And it's me, isn't it? I mean, well, you haven't been up that much since you defeated Vampire Mosquito in bulk..."
I said "status."

"Huh?!
Oh, uh, huh?
What are you doing up from level 85?
I often thought about it and remembered.
".................. ahh! Ali, Ali!
I recall exterminating Forest Army Ant's nest on 39 levels.
"I just installed a smoke-type insecticide... If you think about it, vampire mosquitoes, mosquitoes, incense, burning all night, it's all gone up, so don't even go up at Forest Army Ant."
Levels are good, but more problematic than that......

"Hello"
"Oh, Mr. Mkoda, there you are"
Today, I came to see how Mr. Lamberto was doing.
I was also concerned about the sale of soap and shampoo.
"So, how's the sale of soap and shampoo?
"Well, I was just thinking about using the shop people."
When I heard the story, she said Marie's publicity played a role, and from there, the ladies who would come back to buy soap and shampoo by word of mouth would not follow.
"As you can see, Marie also strained to explain the product. That's not contributing to the sales."
In the corner where the soap and shampoo are placed, Marie explains the product to the ladies as she touches her hair.
The lady of the customer is also surprised to touch Marie's hair and seems intrigued by the product.
"Thanks to Marie, sales are excellent. Of course, it's because the product I bought from Mr. Mukoda is great."
The seller said it was cheaper soap and rinse in shampoo, and that it was going to sell out in a little while.
Sometimes it still seems that this one is easier to get my hands on for the price.
Rose-scented soaps, shampoo and treatment sets also seem to be popular with ladies who can afford to nostalgic, and they sell nearly two-thirds of them.
Hair masks are expensive, but they sell nearly a third of the time, and I was surprised by this too.
"I'm surprised at this sale, too. Hey, you were licking your ladies' degree of pursuit of beauty. Some customers said they really liked the scent and bought five luxury soaps in bulk."
Mr. Lamberto said he was also surprised by this sale.
The world is different, and women's obsession with beauty goes hand in hand everywhere. (distant eyes)
My sister was a beauty geek, and when I was at home, she said, "Now men have to pay attention to beauty." She used shampoo, conditioner, lotion, lotion, lotion.
I switched to the next product and it got old and I didn't need it anymore, but it just came around to me.
Forget the old days, the sale of the product was good and good.
"Later, I'm glad to know that the sales of leather products in the main business are fine."
Anything, the lady who came here to buy soap and shampoo will finally look at the leather products, and if she can afford something she likes, she will be buying it.
And the lady who came to the store with the man went to the man (and the guy who went to the store would look good and buy it). In some cases, the synergy also makes the sale of leather products, especially women's bags, good.
"I didn't think it would even affect the sale of bags. It's a delightful miscalculation."
Mr. Lamberto has always been Nico's face.
Would it make you smile if you even increased the sales of leather products in the main business?
"I need to talk to you there..."
Mr. Lamberto's consultation was about an additional order.
He tried to sell it on an experimental basis and was convinced that Mr. Lamberto could sell it, too, as Marie said.
Additional orders were cheaper soaps, 0 rose-scented soaps, 500 rinse-in shampoos, 200 shampoos and treatments, and 60 hair masks.
I was surprised that there were too many.
Are you okay with 600 soaps, especially for the cheaper ones? I thought, as far as I could tell I sold it on an experimental basis, it didn't matter if it was this many.
In Marie's opinion, she tried to sell the soap side by side without daring to put it in a hemp bag, and the scent caught her and the average woman came to the store.
Of course, it's expensive shopping, even the cheapest soap for the average person, who is neither a nobleman nor a merchant, but he said he can now see relatively earned guild officials and female adventurers excited to buy it.
Mr. Lamberto seems to expect it to become even more popular because of the luxury that you can reach if you hang in there a little bit.
"It's a little high in numbers, so can I ask Mr. Lamberto to refill the bottle? This is the price of a hair mask in a bottle, so I'll do it here."
"Yeah, that's okay. Besides, if you've already bought it from us, we thought that if you had the bottle, you could just buy the contents."
With that said, you said that before.
Whatever, I'm relieved I didn't have to refill it.
If I had to, it would have been tough.
I'll bring it tomorrow.
I was wondering if I could sell it, but all of a sudden I didn't think I'd have this many orders.
We need to get ready as soon as we get back to the inn.
Because I can't keep the refill pouch I bought from the online supermarket, so I have to refill it into a large container.
I saw the crates and pots at the grocery store, so let's buy them and go home.
โ โ โ โ โ
Returning to the room and the room, he quickly began to prepare the order received from Mr. Lamberto.
First, I bought a lot from an online supermarket.
I ordered 600 soaps for the cheaper one, so that's 3 x 200 pieces.
Mm, the quantity you can order seems to be up to 99 per item.
I put 99 in my cart for now.
Rose scented soap is an order of 200 pieces, 3 x 67 pieces.
Not more than 99, so this was done with a single order.
More than a piece of soap, but let's use that for ourselves.
The rinse in shampoo is an order of 500 bottles, so it's a refill pouch (for 3 bottles) x 167.
This goes to 99 carts for now.
There's plenty of room for this, too, but it's troublesome to separate the liquid, so let's give it all to Mr. Lambert.
You order 200 shampoos and treatments at a time, each refill pouch (for 3 bottles) x 67.
Add 67 pieces to the cart.
There will be extra of these two, but it's liquid, so to Mr. Lamberto.
That's a hair mask at the end.
This is an order of 60, so one hair mask will serve two bottles, so take 30 bottles to the cart.
Then I bought 60 bottles for my hair mask.
I settled on this for now.
After that, I bought more than enough.
All right, you got it all.
All I have to do is put it in the crate and kettle I bought at the grocery store.
Unwrap the soap and pack it in a crate.
When you're done stuffing the cheap soap in the crate, the next thing you know, it's rose-scented soap.
I'm also going to unpack this and pack it in a crate.
"Heh, I'm tired. But there's still a refill left."
The rinse in shampoo is next.
The refill pot has a lid and is about the size of a large bottle (I think that one does fit about 8 liters) when I put fruit liquor on it.
I keep getting the contents of the refill pouch out of that pot.
"Ha, it's over..."
There were as many as thirteen kettles with rinse in shampoo.
I'm glad I bought more pots.
I'm going to put the shampoo and the treatment in the pot too, so there's going to be a pot for that.
Put the shampoo and the treatment in the kettle at best.
I managed to do that work, too, the last hair mask.
I'm going to refill it with a bottle I bought from an online supermarket.
"Finally, it's over."
By the end of all the work, the sun had begun to set for the most part.
"Yabbe, Fell's waiting hungry"
I took Sui and hurried to the beast house.
Heading to the beast house, there was a fell that felt musty.
"Lord, it's late."
"Sorry, sorry. Forgive me for the delicious treat."
I took the beef stew pan out of the item box.
I was simmering last night because I had time.
It simmers to a lot of good and the meat is trout.
I'll serve you a beef stew on a plate.
"Yes. Be careful, it's hot."
I woke up Sui and gave Sui a beef stew as well.
'This is your first dish. Which......'
Eat beef stew like Fell drinks.
"Whoa, you're soft as meat melts"
'True. And the flavor is dyed and delicious ~'
Good, the beef stew seems pretty popular too.
"" Replacement ""
I'll give you two a nice ride.
I bought French bread at an online supermarket and I started eating beef stew too.
The meat is tender to a nice feel, and the flavour is rich and delicious.
I wish I could have put this in the mushroom.
Let's put it in next time we make it.
I bought French bread because I thought hard bread would be better for beef stews, but the French bread I buy in the supermarket is soft.
After all, French bread with crisps on the outside can't be done without a bakery.
Eating hard bread on a beef stew sounds delicious.
... Ah, it's in this world if it's hard bread.
That hard black bread.
I just can't say it's hard and not very tasty for what I eat, but if I were to put it on my beef stew, it would seem to fit. | ใใใใซใกใฏใ

It's hard bread, so even if it includes beef stew, it looks good to eat and looks delicious.
Yeah, I'll buy some black bread next time.
Yes, sir.
"Nah, does eating it on this taste good?
That's what Fell asks when he finds me aiming to eat French bread on a beef stew.
"Oh. Eat this bread on a beef stew like this and it's delicious."
"Then give me that too."
"I'll have a swim too."
I'll buy the two of you some French bread, cut it up and dip it in a replacement beef stew.
"Now try it. Because if it tastes good, I'll cut it more."
"Umm."
Fell and Suey eat bread and beef stew.
'Ho, this is delicious. The one called this bread sucks the flavor and tastes delicious'
"Really. Tasty when eaten with bread '
Fell and Suey liked the beef stew they ate with the bread and changed over and over again.
"Um, I'm hungry"
"Phew, Sui is hungry too"
"We both ate well."
"I ate too much"
Right, right, but that's how you like the beef stew.
I was going to make more, but it was totally teased in the pan.
I need some simmering time, but will I try to make it again when I have time? | ็กฌใใใณใ ใใใใผใใทใใฅใผใๅซใใงใ้ฃในๅฟใใใใใใใ ใ็พๅณใใใ ใ

Full of bellies, Fell, Dora and Sui fell asleep early.
I mean...
"Well, that's an offering to Master Demiurgos. I changed my taste a little today, and this is with me."
During the journey, we offered Demiurgos, but with Demiurgos' hopes, it was full of sake and premium cans.
Dinner was just right for sake this evening, so I was wondering if I could join you and prepare Demiurgos's share.
Master Demiurgos, who is totally captivated by sake, so I'm sure you'll like the extraordinary hotpot for your offering.
And I chose the sake I needed from the weekly rankings this time around.
The first bottle is Tochigi sake.
With a pure rice daiginjo carefully brewed at low temperatures, the palate is soft and slightly sweet on the fruity fragrance reminiscent of melons.
In recent years, supply has become difficult to obtain due to popularity and demand.
The second bottle is sake from Fukui Prefecture.
Pure rice daiginjo aged at ยฐC for two years.
Long-term aging at ice temperatures allows you to enjoy fragrance like grapefruit.
They have also won the third consecutive Gold Medal at the American Sake Review.
Incidentally, this series of liquors was used for numerous government-sponsored ceremonies and so on to determine that liquor is behaved in a seat where the world's dignitaries gather.
The third one is Yamagata sake.
I chose this because it was distinctive and eye-catching with floating picture labels and names.
It is a dry pure rice ginseng wine, and it was completed after three years of trial brewing with the request to also make the dry type of liquor in this series.
It is a dry drink with a refreshing flavour of fruity aromas.
Prepare these three and the usual premium cans.
The motu pan stays hot so that you can eat it right away. Per earthen pan.
In the meantime, we've got a standard soy sauce flavored pot and, of course, some Chinese noodles.
Now OK.
Arrange everything on the table in the living room......
"Dear Demiurgos, please deliver"
"Ooh, I'm always sorry ~. I was just looking forward to it."
"The usual sake and a can of knobs, and..., this is this mothpot. It was made by me, but I think it would go with sake, too, so go ahead."
"Hot pot! I've had the gods of the earth treat me once! That was delicious. It was a great food for sake. And after eating the utensils, it's extraordinary."
"I don't think it's the same pot Master Demiurgos gave me for a treat, but this moth pot is quite something too. The noodles in this pan are Chinese noodles, but this is also delicious."
'Ho, right? I'm looking forward to it.'
"It's boiling, keep it up. Once you have finished eating the ingredients, add this Chinese noodle and simmer for a little while before serving."
"I don't know if I can eat right away, it's because I'm exhausted. Thank you. I'll have it with sake soon. '
The liquor and earthen pots that were on the table disappeared with the pale light.
"Well, I will tell the Lord that the kingdom of Lacehel, which summoned you, is doomed."
"Huh? I hear it went to war with your neighbor, the kingdom of Marvel, but you mean you lost after all?
"Uhm. I lost the game."
According to the story of Master Demiurgos, the kingdom of Lacehel, which was supposed to wage war, is also under intense attack from the land of the demons in return for all that has been done, and vice versa from the kingdom of Marvel, which is full of powerful men.
But by an overwhelming number of soldiers, he said, he still managed to counter both countries.
Its overwhelming number of soldiers consisted of enslaved poor people, as well as beasts, elves and dwarves.
Slaves in the Reisehel kingdom say they will restrict their actions so that Master Demiurgos does not turn his teeth by wearing magic items similar to the "slave bracelet" he previously asked...
"Since slave soldiers and other disposables are the same. If we were to die anyway, it would have been better to pay off the scattered and tormented Kingdom of Lacehel and die, in the rebellion of the slaves. This is the deciding factor, in a short period of time the Reisehel kingdom fell apart. All the royals were beheaded, and the nobles known as the royalists, who were said to have actively participated in the war, were executed."
He may die as a result of the demonic props, but he nevertheless acted ready to jade if he were to die in the form of a hand to the Reisehel kingdom.
In that country slaves seemed like a scattered treatment, and to see the first luxurious three-obscured pig king I met, because it seemed like only royalty and noblemen were smoking sweet juice in that country.
Karma or deserved it, I guess this is also the result of what happened so that it can happen.
I find it pathetic about the fought slaves, but I have no sympathy for the destruction of the Reisehel kingdom.
"Does that mean that the Kingdom of Lacehel will be annexed to the Kingdom of Marvel?
'I guess it will. The general public might be happy about that. In the Reisehel kingdom, ordinary people were squeezed out.'
Except for royalty and nobility in the Reisehel kingdom and some wealthy merchants that lead to it, they called it tax and second only to exploitation.
Since the Kingdom of Marvel seems to be a relatively free country without discrimination, as is the Kingdom of Leonhardt, where I am now, and since it does not seem to be the kind of country that takes unscrupulous taxes in Master Demiurgos's story, I think it will be much easier to live in.
'Yes, yes, in the last three sequels summoned with your Lord. The wedding was also held in the church of the King's Capital in the Kingdom of Marvel, and we became husband and wife of honor. Plus, I found a safe elixir in the dungeon, and my stomach arm like Lio's isn't working. These three guys made me look really happy. Happiness is a good thing. Whoo-hoo.'
............... Dear Demiurgos, can you bust that info here?
Stuffy, all handsome. Yeah.
I can't believe I'm marrying two beautiful girls.
You're too jealous. - (Blood tears).
There are three obedient demons on me...
What is this discrepancy?
No, there's no such thing as Fell, Dora and Sui, of course.
Whatever it is, Fell, Dora and Sui are my precious people.
But, hey, I don't have a woman's shadow either.
He wants to complain.
Ha, even though I don't have any luck with women, I don't have much luck with this.
Give it back, handsome. Blast it, Leah. Blast it.
Keh.
I'll enjoy the meat dungeon festival tomorrow.
I slept that night holding Suitan, my healing heart, to soothe her. | ่

After breakfast, our party headed for the Adventurer's Guild in the capital.
It was about Leviathan, the cause of his arrival in the capital.
It seems that we have finally decided which part to buy.
Yesterday, after shopping and eating, Fel and the others said, "Dinner is different! 'By the mystery theory, while eating meat and vegetable bowls made of fried vegetables full of oak that were reluctantly stocked (although I only drank coffee as expected), the guild master of Carrera came and informed me.
The Guildmaster was exhausted, so I ate the meat and vegetable bowls from the Guildmaster.
When I said it (with a tired face), I said, "Whose fault is it!" But I got angry. "
I can only say that I am really sorry about that.
Anyway, according to yesterday's announcement, I was on my way to the Royal Capital Adventurer's Guild today.
However, Fel, Grandpa Gong, and Dora seemed to have a troublesome atmosphere.
I don't seem to know Sweetheart very well.
We've got the Leviathan meat that matters to us, and I'm sure we don't care about the other ingredients.
That's why I couldn't leave him alone.
But it's a Leviathan material.
Even if it's a partial purchase, it's going to be a lot of money... (distant eyes)
Most of the materials will come back as they are.
I think I'm going to be fattening up my item box.
Well, you should go and hang out with him.
Without a second thought, he arrived at the Royal Capital Adventurer's Guild.
As soon as I walked in, I was escorted by the staff to the warehouse.
I'm a little scared of the atmosphere inside the warehouse.
The warehouses were dotted with sharp-eyed, perhaps high-ranked adventurers, who tightened up their defenses.
There must have been an adventurer on guard last time, but there wasn't one like this, was there?
When I look around thinking about it like that...
"It looks like you're here." Sorry to keep you waiting. I've finally decided on the materials I want to buy out. "
It was a great appearance, including Bram, the guildmaster of the Royal Adventurer's Guild.
There was also Villem, the guild master of Curry Lina.
You all look tired.
Um, it's kind of a big security guard.
"Well, in a way, it's because now is the most dangerous time"
Mr. Bram said, "Before dismantling, even if you want to steal it, even if you want to steal it because Leviathan has no teeth, you can't steal it sooner. But now that it's dismantled into a material, you can carry it if you want to. Moreover, if you steal one of those materials, if you have money to play with and live with for a lifetime, it will make you crazy."
It seems that the number of such people is increasing as the dismantling progresses, and in fact, many people have told me that they are already ropes.
In the preface, Bram said, "It's embarrassing...", but one official from the Wangcheng Adventurer's Guild was also captured.
It seems to have been a sudden act, but I saw Leviathan's material within my reach and I was blinded by the gold.
It seems that the adventurer who noticed the staff member's behavior was strange was caught immediately.
And there was actually a high ranking adventurer guard around the house we were renting.
"It's strange to think that Fenrir and the Ancient Dragon can do something, but I don't know what a big fool with eyes on gold would do"
That's what Mr. Bram said.
And I was listening to him, and I said, "What? Was I that dangerous? I was a little stunned."
So I told Fel and Grandpa Gong in case they said, "Was there a weirdo around me? When I heard that, Fel and Grandpa Gong weren't there.
I was there, but it seemed that Fel and Grandpa Gong had dispersed incredibly.
I was really glad that Fel and Grandpa Gong were together.
It seems that this kind of thing is easy to sell when it comes to materials.
I heard that there are some kinds of back market that don't go through the Adventurer's Guild, and they sell stolen goods and banned bad stuff.
It seems that the selling price can be seen somewhat because it is a dark product, but Mr. Bram said, "It is definitely going to be a lot of money".
It seems that there is such a thing as a backworld in any world.
Well then, I'd like to get into the real buying-in, okay?
Yes, yes.
The first material I wanted to buy as an adventurer's guild in the capital was blood.
Thirty bottles in a bigger pot or a kettle around my chest.
And then one eyeball.
The rest is part of the bone and small fangs (although the original size is quite large), part of the brain and part of the liver.
And, what about the purchase price of 0000 gold coins?
When I heard that, I was absolutely exaggerated.
Listen, I lost half my soul.
It's 180,000 gold coins, 180,000 gold coins.
"But Leviathan is going to be like this..."
"That's why I'm talking to you....."
I was too surprised by the amount, and Mr. Bram's story didn't come to my mind very much, but it seemed that he wanted the payment to be split in three.
I nodded silently.
So, for the first payment, a sack containing 60,000 gold coins and 600 platinum coins was handed over, and this was also pushed silently into the item box.
All that's left is to return the rest of the material.
That's why I got a headache when I saw the Leviathan material lined up in the warehouse.
It was noticed that the Wangcheng Adventurer's Guild had bought only a small part of it.
That amount in part.
"What should I do with this tons of material..."
Even now, there's a lot of material left in my inventory.
And then it flashed.
If you have more than you can let go.
I'd like to offer some of this material to the King and Count Langridge.
"Hmm. If your lord thinks so, then so be it." Let's get better at heart proofing, or maybe it'll burst into flames. "
I think it's Josha because she agreed with me.
He proposed that half of the returned material be offered to the king and a quarter to the count, but he immediately rejected it.
"Are you stupid?" said Bram and the other great men, as well as the guildmaster of Curry Lina.
So I said, "So how much is good? When I heard that, I told the king that a couple of bottles of blood and a piece of skin (even if they were really small), and the countess said that about one-third of one bottle of blood was enough.
I said, "Earrings, that's just too little."
After discussing something with the king, the king had five bottles of blood and a part of the skin (about one-third of the skin of the part cut by Mr. Erland for dismantling, so it is really only a small part) and two fangs (smaller than the one bought by the adventurer's guild), and the count decided to have two bottles of blood.
For my part, it was a little sticky, but you guys are stubborn and stubborn.
Everyone was complaining, "That's a lot."
I wanted to press at least two big fangs on the king and offer them as well.
Besides, if it was true, I wanted to add the meat of Leviathan, but I refused because there was a strong "absolutely no good" to all of us.
Well, with this kind of offering, I asked Mr. Bram to keep the king's things and the Count's things with the guildmaster of Karellina, and to offer them to each of them.
It's a round toss.
I know you're not a bad person, but I'm still tired of seeing great people.
However, Leviathan's materials have barely diminished.
The remaining Leviathan material was mechanically placed in the Item Box.
But if you don't, you won't be able to do it.
I'm finally finished, and I'm getting tired.
"I feel like going home early and going to bed again..."
That's how I crushed it. | ๆ้ฃฏใ็ตใใๅพใไฟบใใฏใ็้ฝใฎๅ้บ่

The next morning, after breakfast, we took care of the mansion for a week.
By the way, I made the breakfast into a chicken broth bowl made out of cocatrice chicken broth that I left behind.
I put the chicken broth and egg broth on the rice and made it into a bowl, but Dora and Sui told me it was delicious, but Fell seemed to be unhappy with the lack of meat and the lightness. I said boo-boo.
I've done so many times for it.
That's all you need for breakfast.
It was a delicious breakfast for me.
First I went to the commercial guild and returned the keys to the mansion.
I thought it might have been a little too soon, but sometimes it was golden and the commercial guild had started working early in the morning.
Then I headed to the Adventurer Guild.
As soon as we entered the Adventurer Alliance, Mr. Yoran arrived.
"Yesterday's oak meat is ready."
I picked up pieces of meat for the oak I was asking you to head to the warehouse.
"Are we headed to Bellain soon after this?
"Yes, I intend to"
"Right. Thank you so much for your help."
"I'll be glad to drop by this city when I get another chance."
"Yeah, if you get a chance."
"I'll keep in touch with the Alliance Master in Bellain, so please say hello in that city."
"Yes."
Thus we departed after the city of Nayhof for the city of Bellain, the city of the sea.
โ โ โ โ โ
Six days have passed since I left the city of Neyhof.
The journey was going well.
I'm getting used to traveling a lot, too, and I'm asking Fell to speed things up a little.
It also proceeded at a fairly fast pace, and when it came to Fell, he said he would arrive in Bellain around noon tomorrow.
"You're free to just move on like this."
"Sure."
When Fell gets bogged running with me on his back, Dora, flying next door, agrees.
Sui, as usual, slept suyasuya in a leather bag.
"Fell and Dora, what are you talking about, how's the journey going?"
"That's true, but it's boring to just run like this."
'Yes, yes. Hopefully even an affordable demon will attack me, because there's me and Fell. If you don't have a lot of strength, it doesn't mean you're gonna get your hands on it.'
I knew it was.
I guess the strong know if it's the wild one.
When I'm traveling with the Fells, I don't really see demons and they don't attack me.
Thankful for me, but he's not happy with the Fells.
'Mm-hmm. Besides, there's no big deal in exploring the signs... Hmm?
"Fell, what's up?
"Is this a troll? A haphazard troll is heading for the street."
Trolls out?
I've only seen it in the dungeon, but you're still normal.
That decadent demon.
Troll. I don't know because he's an idiot. Even if we were here, I'd know they'd come at us without thinking. It's subtle for hunting, but I'm coming. '
That's what makes Dora fly away.
'Hey, you cheat, Drag! I feel like I'm underexercising, too, I'll do it!
"Oh, come on, Fell!
That's what Fell says and he runs away with me on it.
"Gwow."
In the middle of the road Jen royally and Troll was roaring.
Dosh -.
Oh, he's dead.
Troll fell behind when Dora pierced the middle of her belly that had the fire magic put together in her body.
Dosung.
"Drag, I found that troll!
'I don't know that. These are the early winners.'
"Grungy"
Down from Fell, the breathless troll was in the item box, and Fell and Dora were beginning to argue.
"Look, look, don't fight. You're gonna get to Bellain by noon, right? If you do, how long will you have to take the request again, and then dissipate it?"
'Nooo, I get it. Dora, that's my priority. "
"I don't know that."
"Dora, that's not what I'm saying"
"Che"
It's not che, damn it.
Don't argue over who defeats the demons.
Fell and Dora are very belligerent.
Is it because of Master Vahagn's protection?
But I didn't condone demons before they came with protection, and hey.
I don't know, but this has to give you a place to get rid of the lack of exercise early.
After that we proceeded so well that we could reach the city of Bellain around noon, as Fell had said.
Thanks to the A-rank Golden Picca Guild Card, I also took the Fells into the city of Bellain.
It smells like tide.
You realize you're here in the city of the sea.
Well, do you want to go face to face with the Adventurer Guild in this city first? | ็ฟๆใๆ้ฃฏใ้ฃใ็ตใใฃใๅพใซไฟบใใกใฏ1้ฑ้ไธ่ฉฑใซใชใฃใ่ฑช้ธใๅพใซใใใ

It's no bother, but I have to contact you. It's loud, and if it's too late, you'll be commissioning me one of these days, so will you give your contribution to the goddesses early on?
"Guys, can you hear me?
When I call, I kind of hear a war-guy voice.
I have no idea what you're talking about, even if we all talk in unison.
"You know, because I have no idea what you're talking about even when you talk to me like that at the same time. Talk to me one at a time."
Once again, I hear a warwar-guy-gay voice.
The voice stopped pitting.
Looks like you got the story together.
"It starts with a concubine. Lord, ah, ah, ah, uh, no three houses, what is that! It's not a dream shop. I didn't mean to designate that store! Well done, I'll send you a compliment. Anyway, give the concubine three cakes. No, three cakes! No, three cakes! Give the concubine all kinds!
No, well, I expected this to happen.
And Hidoine.
"Next time, it's a no-no. I know that your unique skills have been upgraded to allow you to choose a tenant. Non and the others studied a little in the world where the Lord was, and there will be liquor stores with his tenants."
Gikku.
Is this voice Master Hephaestus?
Surely there seems to be a liquor store for tenants.
"The next tenant to be released was level . All right, you're going to level up now. And get to level 40 fast. Then the next tenant won't be a liquor store. '
Because you don't level up so quickly.
Or will you not force me?
'That's right. It's going to be forty soon. If you're willing to die, you'll be fine. Put the liquor store in the tenant. That way you get a lot more liquor from different worlds than you do now. It's exciting, wahahahahaha'
This is like Vahagn.
You said you'd be fine if you were willing to die... you couldn't be okay.
I won't do it, because I'll never do it.
I won't be resolute in my actions to level up.
Nothing. I'm not indisposed as I am, and I'm going to level up as I normally live, so don't worry.
"Level 40 next? If that's about it, you can dive in the dungeon one more time. Go, go, go. The next tenant is at the liquor store."
Dear Agni, you said you could dive in the dungeon one more time...
I'm not going, I'll say it again, but I'm not going.
What are you talking about, this goddess?
You don't know if there's a liquor store in the first place, because the next tenant is a liquor store.
"Hey, I was wondering if you wouldn't decide on your own that the next tenant would be a liquor store. It's up to the drugstore next. I also saw the world of the otherworlds. There are cosmetics in the drugstore, and you can choose from a lot of them. The next tenant is definitely a drugstore. '
Is this Master Kishahr?
You've done a good job researching the drugstore.
The next tenant is definitely a drugstore, so hey, you don't know if there's a drugstore among the options in the first place.
I don't know what's coming when I get to level 40 and I can choose my next tenant.
"" "Anyway, get to level 40." "
Is that what you guys even say Hamo......
Dear Hephaestus, Vahagn, Agni and Kishaar, please don't impose.
I can't do it fast.
Nothing. I'm not at liberty as I am.
I don't even need to level it up.
"Uh, ladies and gentlemen, you want to get to level 40 quickly, because I'm not free at the moment, so I'm not going to level up. If you're going to level up in a normal life, you don't have to, you don't have to bother to level up."
Because I don't like it, I can't believe I'm going to level for a tenant.
"Oh, my God, if I told you that, you wouldn't know what time it would be to get to level 40. I'm just in Dungeon City, and I'm gonna dive one more time and bring it to level 40. '
'That's right. Dungeon, dive. Let's get you to level 40. Put a liquor store in the tenant, whatever you want. "
"Oh, you're choking because you have state anomaly deactivation and complete defense. Man, show me. '
'Yes, yes. The liquor store is fine, if you level up quickly and level 40, you can put a drugstore in the tenant ~'
Mr. Hephaestus, Mr. Vahagn, Mr. Agni and Mr. Kishaar can say whatever they want.
"You know, I seem to say it over and over, but I'm not going to bother to level it up. Because if we're going to force a level increase for the tenants, we're going to stop offerings. And I'll give you back your protection."
When I said that, Lady Hephaestus, Lady Vahagn and Lady Agni, Kishahr panicked.
'Hey, you can't do that. Absolutely not. I'm not asking you to level up anymore.'
'Oh, yeah. You don't have to give me a level.'
"Ah, oh. You don't have to raise the level."
'Well, yeah. One of these days, nature and level will rise.'
You seem to understand.
"Yes, instead of telling me to level up anymore - I'd be glad to double about three silver coins -"
Mm, Master Kishahr?
You're not out of line.
"Whoa, that's good."
"Kishal, Omei, don't say good things sometimes"
"Really."
"I don't care about the tenant and the concubine because they have three houses, but doubling three silver coins is a good idea."
"... times, okay"
God aligns himself with Kishahr's proposal.
'What do you say yourself, but that's a really good idea. I don't know, Vahagn, sometimes. Sometimes. I always say good things ~'
Dear Kishahr, instead, there is nothing.
Double three silver coins.
Six silver coins?
Um, well, I've been making money lately, and I don't care what you say, because God's got me covered and skilled.
"Okay. I'll make it six silver coins this time. Instead, there's no need to raise the level."
When I say that, I hear yellow voices cheering and wild voices cheering.
"Yes, yes, quietly. So I'm going to ask you what you want."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, at first you're a concubine! No, three cakes! No, it's a cake from three houses! I want all kinds!
Ha ha, Master Nin Lil (Too bad Goddess) says all kinds, but if you buy all kinds, six silver coins won't be enough.
"Lady Nin Lil, all kinds are not worth six pieces of silver at all."
'Nooo, is that so? Well, I'll show my concubine what to do.'
Now you want me to show it to you?
You're getting a little bit wise about some internet supermarket, too.
"I can't help it, some of you are next, so pick it quickly."
That brings up a voice from everyone but Lady Ninril saying, 'Yes, they do'.
'I know. I'll show you sooner than that.
I had no choice but to open the menu of the three houses of the online supermarket so as to show it to Master Nin Lil.
"If you want all kinds of food, this is what you do."
I opened the cutcake menu and showed it to him.
"Murphy, su, it's amazing! It all looks delicious!
About 1 piece of copper coin, 4 pieces, so 15 pieces of cutcake?
"If you choose the cake here, you can choose fifteen because there are many four pieces of copper coin per piece."
With that said, Lady Ninril is happy to raise her odd voice.
I really hope this goddess is okay.
"But when there's so much, I don't know which one to make."
"Then why don't you pick one from the top in turn? We'll make it fifteen from here today, and we'll do it next time."
'Whoa, that's a good idea! That's how you dominate all three confectioneries!
Yes, yes, whatever.
I chose fifteen cakes from the top in the menu of cut cakes that Lady Nin Lil wanted.
"Who's next?
"Next time, naturally, it's me."
Master Kishahr?
'We're running out of shampoo and treatments, so you want that. I want you to show me what I have too.'
Hmm, can I see Master Kishahr, too?
Honestly, we've all gotten into a lot of trouble with wisdom.
I can't show it to Master Nin Lil and not to Master Kishahr, so I opened the menu of hair care products to show it. | ้ขๅใใฎไธใชใใใฉใ้ฃ็ตกใใชใใใใชใใงใใใใใใใใใพใ้

Then Master Kishahr said, 'What kind of hair does this fit?' Or 'What scent?' or ask me in detail.
'Oh, all of this looks good and I get lost. I mean, there were so many different types of shampoos and treatments in the other world. The scents are different, and I'm really lost ~'
Oh, this is hard to decide.
Women-specific. This is good. That's good.
Something's terrible when you hang out with a guy in a department store shopping bag.
It's going to be a long time...
"Come on, hurry up."
"Yeah, well, you're taking too long."
You see, alcoholic gods are getting frustrated.
Dear Kishahr, the wind blows everywhere in such a voice.
'Really, what do we do? I also like the smell of shampoo and treatment I'm using right now, so it's hard to throw away... uh, I'll get lost ~'
"Then why don't you refill the same shampoo and treatment as before, and with the rest of the budget, you can buy two shampoos and two treatments at a time, so why don't you buy two pairs of the series you're interested in? You can also use different shampoos and treatments to suit your mood."
When I say that, Master Kishahr is also crushing, "Suitable for the mood... yes".
"How about this new product?
What do you care? If you go ahead with a new product, you'll say, 'It's a new product?!' and a great eater.
"A new product is something new, right? Doesn't that mean you're better than before?
Well, when it comes to new products, I suppose they have improved by formulating new ingredients.
"I think it probably is..."
Then I'll do it. Hey, no other new products?
"Er, there is. Looks like this is the new product, is this okay?
"Yeah, so please."
"Well, that's three pairs: this and this and this."
I bought a series of shampoos and treatment refills and two new product series before Kishahr wanted them.
"Next please -"
'It's me, it's Agni. I'd like to ask for a drink this time, but I like beer the most, so I'll ask for half of it with beer, and the other half with all kinds, just like before.'
"Don't you have to look at the menu, Master Agni?
'I don't want to.' Cause I'm more excited about what it tastes like. '
Well, that makes sense.
Yeah, I wish you guys were like Agni.
Okay, well, shall I choose?
It's up to you, but I'm gonna want to pick you a good drink.
First it's beer, but it's company A's premium beer (six-pack) and company K's premium beer (six-pack), and then it's Y-bis beer (six-pack).
And then... oh, there's this.
There was a local beer, so I chose this too.
Beer on the plateau and three types of beer after the crossing and beer on the beach.
Then later I chose American whiskey, French rosรฉ and Italian red wines.
All right, now Master Agni's is OK.
"Next..."
"Luca. I'm the same as Nin Lil"
Oh, I think Luca is more aggressive than usual.
"Does Master Luca want a cake for the three families today, too?
'Yes, cake. I like it all different, just like Nin Lil'.
Has Master Luca squeezed into the cake this time?
Well, if you look at the three cakes.
Luca seems to like sweet things too.
Does Luca come from the top as well as Ninril?
As for Luca, I picked 15 cakes from the top, just like Nin Lil, on the cut cake menu.
"Oops, next up, Noona."
At the end of the day is the combination of Hephaestus and Vahagun-sama liquor lovers?
'We're whiskey and vodka, just like last time. But from this time on, let us choose. So let's see. "
Heck.
I showed Lady Hephaestus and Lady Vahagn a menu of whiskies in liquor.
"This is the whiskey you're dealing with."
'Ho, there's been so much. This is all I get lost in. "
"Wow, that's a different world liquor. This is different from each other, isn't it?
"Yes, it's whiskey, but it seems to taste subtly different depending on the region, the manufacturer you're making, and, uh, people."
"Something like that. Wow. I'd like to try everything, but because I have a limited budget '
'Oh. There it is... you, could you give me more budget?
"No, you can't. I just increased it. Why?"
"" Chip ""
This liquor lover combo, I said chip, chip.
"By the way, which of these is your Lord's recommendation?
"Um, I don't drink much whiskey, so hey.... Oh, I'll put up a little more price than the others, but I hear this is delicious. And I'm sure it was the best thing in the world about whiskey."
Domestic s company whiskey.
I do think I was doing it on the news that it turned out to be the best whiskey in the world.
Even the liquor lovers around me tell me that this drink is delicious.
"" The World's Best Whisky ""
Gokuri.
Something was a beautiful hammer, though.
I heard you spit only afterwards.
"Ask for the best whiskey in the world. Good, of the gods of war. '
'Oh, of course. I heard it was the best whiskey in the world and I wondered if I could stay for a drink. "
Yes, yes, this is it.
"What do you do with the rest?
"What will you do, blacksmith's?"
"Um, all the alcohol from other worlds is delicious, but I think it was a good one for this black bottle."
"Do you mean this black bottle?
What Master Hephaestus is talking about was a black bottle of whiskey from Company S.
This is famous too, isn't it?
'That was delicious indeed. Me and this bird-like painting was delicious. "
Birdy painting, birdy painting... Is this what Master Vahagn is talking about?
"Is this the one with the birdy picture?
"Yes, that's it."
It's American whiskey.
I think this was quite popular, too.
"So can I add these two?
"'That's good.'"
"You two have four more silver coins left, what do you want to do?
"What about vodka?
I opened a menu with vodka on it.
"Vodka's not much of a kind."
Yes, it is.
There were only four types on it that I showed you.
When it comes to vodka, there are only a few online supermarkets.
"That's right. Because alcohol is strong, and it wasn't as rare as whiskey."
"Which and which of these is it?
"This and this is what I sent you during this time. This is what happened before that, so that's all you two haven't been drinking."
To put it that way, the liquor lover combo is consulting with Gonyo Gonyo.
"Well, I haven't had a drink yet, and this blue letter one, please."
"What's a blue letter, this?
Three whiskeys and two vodka, and, uh, one more silver coin left.
"I have one more silver coin, what do you want to do? There's nothing you can buy in vodka if this is it. There are a few things you can buy with whiskey."
"Bye, whiskey me."
Whiskey.
Then you can buy 700 milliliters of whiskey with a white horse label from Scotland.
All right, this is OK.
Place each item on the familiar cardboard altar.
I hear the goddesses and the masculinity cheering, as usual.
"No three, no three, no three!!!
"This will preserve the beauty of my hair"
"It's the best whiskey in the world! Hyah Hoo Woo '
"Let's drink fast - of the blacksmith god!
I hear voices like that.
........................ Ha ~ I'm tired.
They're all going to tell me to keep my wits on and show them.
Not at all.
Go to sleep now. Go to sleep.
- In those days, in the divine world.
"Hey, Blacksmith's"
"What?
"People in different worlds told me not to force me to level up, but I think I should level up."
"Oops. Do you still think that's what the god of war thinks?"
'Oh.' Cause there were quite a few types of liquors I saw today, but what if I became a liquor store? We're going to be able to choose many different kinds of booze. '
"Hmm. We who like alcohol can miss it while we know it."
'I would. I just think when you tell him to level up, he's gonna tell you to stop offering again. So, why don't you sneak that skill up on him? He hasn't really checked his status. Even if you realize it, it doesn't seem like you'd be angry if it wasn't out of the way. "
'That would be a good idea. What is that skill?
'Oh. If you put this on, you won't have to level up. The level will go up'

After leaving the safe area, Fell says' only one more place we haven't explored yet '.
If it's not there, I'll have to try going around this floor again.
If that's the case, and for now, go to that place.
All that was left was the boss room.
Fell said, "I don't feel particularly strange," but as Fell was confident, I sometimes missed it, so we talked about going in anyway.
Boss, there was already a pair of adventurers waiting in front of the room.
That's where the problem came in.
Boss Cool time until the next demon springs up if the room is destroyed.
According to the information on the map, in this dungeon it seems to be quite a bit longer than it is in the hierarchy.
Over here on the th floor, cool-time seems to take around two hours.
Then again, this is the information that was on the map, but basically the dungeon here says the boss room doesn't have a door or anything like that at the entrance, and although he can look inside freely, he won't be able to go inside when the fight starts.
Boss, there's an adventurer party already in battle in the room.
And there's one pair of adventurer parties waiting.
Even if you think the battle in the boss room is almost over, there's two hours of cool time from there.
Even if the adventurer party we waited for afterwards ended the fight right away, then Cool Time again for two hours.
It means that even if you don't take into account the time of the fight, you'll be waiting at least four hours for cool time alone.
Explain that, Fell and Dora will be dissatisfied as soon as possible.
Sui got a little chomped when he knew he couldn't fight right away.
"What do we do? Boss, do you want to stop the room and go around this floor again?
'As long as we wait a long time, that would be better. I can't even feel anything strange in this room. "
When Fell said that, Dora waited.
'Wait a minute, you're telling me you don't feel weird, but are you sure? If we go around here again and we can't find him again, we're going to waste our legs. I don't know if I have to line up here again for that quote. "
"Hey Dora, can't you believe what I'm saying?
Fell's eyes also sharpen on Dra's words.
'Cause you do. You missed the habit of being so confident.'
'I told you that happened. Even then. Humph, what do you say more or less by putting your strength on the shelf'
Dora is also annoyed by Fell's words.
'I'm sure it's true. Isn't it up to me to explore? Do it yourself if you can.'
"Kuck, I'm better at attacking!
"The attack is beyond my reach."
'Temeye, do you want to try and see if it doesn't even reach your feet? I'll always be the other guy. "
Fell and Dora gradually heat up as well, feeling like they were buying into selling words.
In what could be described as a one-touch atmosphere between Fell and Dora, Sui had gone to Fell and Dora and was horny.
"Fell and Dora said to calm down. Not if you're broke."
I told Fell and Dora in a reading.
'Cause this guy's gonna put his strength on the shelf or something.
"If you were to say that, even Dora would have doubted me."
"I doubt it, I'm sure you mean it."
"Hung, then my statement that you put your strength on the shelf would also be true"
Again, the air between Fell and Dora is sinister.
"Cora, tell him to stop. Though I'm sure he's one of us. Both Fell and Dora have said too much. Apologize to each other for not renting this place. Nice. '
With that said, both Fell and Dora are complaining about "why me" and "why me".
'Oh, yeah. That's what Fell and Dora say. Then I have an idea.' Cause I'm not gonna let Fell and Dora have their next meal. '
"What the hell?!
"Why would I do that?"
Declaring the rice drain, both Fell and Dora began to rush.
"Sui, let's have a delicious meal for two next time."
When I said that by holding Sui in my arms, who was horny, Sui was also a cash 'tasty' thing? I'm in the mood to eat ~ '.
'Whoa, you guys can't just forgive the delicious stuff!
'Yes, they do! You guys are the only cheats to eat yummy!!
"If that's what you think, you just have to apologize to each other."
Pushing it off like that, both Fell and Dora are roaring 'Grunt'.
But we apologized to each other, reluctantly, for just not wanting to be out of rice.
I knew it would work great for eaters to skip meals.
'All right, let's do this together. Nice.'
"Umm."
"Oh."
"All right, then I'll negotiate with the adventurers lined up before."
"Negotiate?
'Yes. You know exactly if Fell would be better off inside, too, don't you?
'Well then it's definitely clearer to go inside and check nearby...'
"Even Dora would be more convinced if Fell made a clear affirmation after she went inside, wouldn't she?
'Well, of course I am...'
'Well, he told me to wait here. If you succeed, it should take half an hour. Pray for a successful negotiation.'
โ โ โ โ โ
I spoke to the adventurers who were waiting in front of us.
"What? As you can see, the battle inside is almost over, so I'm gonna ask you to do it briefly."
"Yes. Uh, sorry for the indignation, but when you go inside..."
The battle will be handled responsibly, and the gargoyle in the boss room will be defeated here. I will also give away all the drops that came out after I defeated the gargoyle, so I asked him if he could join me in the boss room.
"You think I'll take the fight that way?
"Yes."
"So, all the drops are over here"
"Yes."
"No, actually, I just wanted to check inside. If you can get us inside, we'll be perfectly fine under these conditions."
"Seriously...... Wait, I'll talk to everyone."
Probably the leader you were talking to me about.
Party members (one beast man and one woman, one man and one woman of a human race at a time. Then there was one elf man) who called in and talked to Kosokoso.
When I listen and listen with my ears that are better when I get to the next level I say, "It's okay. It's all we got, and" "That's an S-rank adventurer with a rumored squire, isn't it? You wouldn't do anything weird for a name to sell, and you're not okay with it." "There's nothing we at B-rank can't do, but Gargoyle opponents break bones. It's a good thing for us to keep our health warm, and there's no reason to say no" etc.
I wonder if I'll ever be turned down at this rate.
The leader came back under me to talk a little bit.
"The battle is that way and the drops are that way. If that's the case, you can come inside with me."
"Thank you!
Then, just after the battle in the boss room ended and into cool time.
About two hours later...
"Oh, here comes Gargoyle. If you want to come inside with me, follow me."
"Ha. Fell, Dora, Suey, I'm supposed to go inside with these adventurers, so get ready."
Speaking so, the sleeping Fells stood up staggeringly.
"You're going to have the battle this way, so take down all the gargoyles inside."
Tell them that the battle is over here.
"Hi, hi, hi! Sui's gonna kill it all!
A Russian energetic sui jumped up with Pawn and landed staggeringly over Fell's head.
"Then I'll leave it to Sui, so there's no leak."
"Okay ~"
'Don't worry. I'm watching, so it's okay to leak it. "
"Dora, don't ask me"
"When I have to, I deal with it."
'Oh. Fell, too, please. And about the anomalies in the room. "
"Of course."
Well, I don't think Gargoyle's gonna take a back, and I think he's gonna be fine, because this time he's with strange adventurers.
I can't let you get hurt, just in case.
"All right, let's go"
A member went inside simultaneously with the leader's hanging voice.
We'll be right behind you.
We're moving forward.
Nearly thirty gargoyles were hissing in the boss's room, and the gargoyles that noticed us entering the room were coming at once.
"Swi."
"Hi! Aye!
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.
Sui stretched out two tentacles and fired acid bullets from both sides like a two-button pistol.
Nearly thirty gargoyles were instantly killed. | ใปใผใใจใชใขใๅบใใใจใใใงใซใ่จใใซใฏใใพใ ๆข็ดขใใฆใใชใใฎใฏใใจ1ใๆใฎใฟใใ ใจใใใ

He fell one after the other like a domino knock down with a hole in his face.
The adventurers who witnessed it opened their mouths gently and flashed.
I was surprised, too.
"Sui, when did you learn that..."
"To E ~, that would be amazing -"
That said, I'm a little proud of the pull rocking sui.
I wonder what makes Sui's growth in combat remarkable......
'Hey, I know exactly what you mean. There's nothing strange about this room. "
'Yes, if Fell is sure, I guess so. Let's go around again. "
"Right."
When I turned my heels back to leave the room, the adventurers were still stunned.
"Uh, I've got business to do, so here we go. Thank you."
"Oh, oh..."
Speaking up, I was finally dropped off by the activated leader, and one of us left the boss room behind. | ้ก้ขใซ็ฉดใ้ใใชใใใใใๅใใฎใใใซๆฌกใ

Somehow the time passed and I ended up staying overnight in the village of High Elves.
The Green Dragon hunt was to be carried over to the next day.
We rented an empty house in the village of High Elves.
Put a futon on it, and we'll all lie down.
But that's what bothered me about earlier.
"Damn it, please stop scouting Fel and Grandpa Gong on your own."
Isn't it nice? Now you can dismantle it and get the meat right away. "
That's right. It seems like they won't be able to live long either. Don't hesitate to start hunting from now on. "
"No, no, no. What are you talking about, Uncle Gong?" You've never held back before, have you? "
I accidentally pushed into Grandpa Gong's words.
"Well, just leave it for now." Even though I asked you to dismantle it, I also had an arrangement with the Adventurer's Guild. I'll dismantle everything I've been hunting myself..... "
As an adventurer's guild business, it's not just asking adventurers to crush monsters, but also to dismantle monsters that adventurers have hunted and buy their materials, so I ignore that and say, "I will dismantle them myself from now on."
I don't think I'd like to buy anything but meat.
Curry Lina's guildmaster and Johan's old man are also good people, so I want to stay in good company, and I don't want to stand around too much.
In that case, I'll just have to talk about things that are said to be difficult to dismantle in the Adventurer's Guild. No matter who dismantles it, all we have to do is get the meat. โ
Hmmm. In the first place, it was not because we were dissatisfied that it was difficult to dismantle the dragon turtle and the dragon this time and we could not eat it immediately.
"Is that the only way to dismantle a monster like that?" Hmm. So, you're an ant? "But I don't have all those big guys, and sometimes I don't..." Grandpa Gong told me that he was going to hire me. I have to pay my salary, but do I pay when I'm not working? "
If you're going to hire someone, it's not like I'm soliciting them and paying them only when I'm working like a part-time job.
When I think of it as a full-time employee, I still have to pay my salary even though I have a job.
But you can't do that in front of my slave (employee).
Even though everyone is trying so hard, if there is such a difference, you can't do it.
If I were you, I'd definitely run out.
I think a lot about it.
My position as an employer has been very difficult, and I think it is even more difficult now.
"Ah, that's enough! Fel and Grandpa Gong will scout out on their own, so I have to think a lot like this!" At least tell me one word before you do it! "
Even though I'm troubled, Fel, who is in the system of sleeping with the wind blowing, is increasingly annoyed by Grandpa Gong.
By the way, Dora and Sweet are already sleepy and full.
Dora-chan is leaning against Grandpa Gong, exposing her swollen stomach and sleeping with Goosuka feeling good, and Sweetheart is nodding to Fel's belly hair and feeling good in her dreams.
I want to sleep well, too, but the sudden hiring of high elves won't allow it.
And then one more question came to my mind.
"That's right! If you're going to come to my house, you'll have to prepare a place to live!" Ah, if you ask Bruno, I'll be able to handle it. "
Fortunately, the timing is good, just before the construction starts at our house.
I had no choice but to ask Bruno to do some extra work.
Three couples of high elves...
I should have asked for two houses similar to the one in the back of our main house, but if I added three more houses, the work I was supposed to ask for would be more than double.
Are you mad at me?
Bruno seems to be busy at work, so I think he'll be able to schedule his next job.
Why don't you make it feel like a maisonette apartment?
Hmm, I need to talk to Bruno.
When I got home from Curry Rina, I thought I'd have to talk to Bruno right away...
Con-...
There is a knock on the door.
Can I have a minute?
I wonder if this is Jรธrgen's voice.
Yes, I'll open it now.
When I stepped out of the futon and opened the door, there were Jรธrgen, Verte, and Radmir's three male high elves.
"Um, I just wanted to ask you a favor..."
"It's been a while..."
"Somehow, the high elves have good ears..."
That's what three people look like.
Ah ~, you heard the conversation earlier.
"Well, I didn't mean to embarrass you." Well, I don't need a paycheck for dismantling. Maybe that's what my wives say. "
That's right. Rather than that, we'll be fine as long as we're accompanied by the flesh of the monsters that we dismantled.
โYeah, and I wish you could treat me to something like this occasionally.โ
Is that all right with you?
When he was surprised, Mr. Jรธrgen said, "We can do a lot of things in the first place, so I don't think we'll have any trouble working," and Mr. Velte and Mr. Radmir nodded to it.
After listening to the story, it seems that as well as hunting monsters like adventurers, you can do a wide range of shallow streets, and each of them has something special in them, especially when living in the city of people, they have never had a problem with their jobs before.
I know that Mr. Verte was good at dismantling, but if Mr. Jรธrgen had made a bow and arrow, he would have no one to the right among the high elves, and Mr. Radmir was good at carpentry, so he could make most of the furniture.
"That's why you don't have to think too deeply." If we go to the city, we'll find our own place to live. โ
"No, no, that's not how it works. I asked her to come. We have a large house and a large land, so I think the area is okay. I was just going to increase the number of employees, and I was asking for construction at my residence. At the same time, I don't have a problem building your house. However, until it is built, it will be temporarily living in my house, so please only accept it."
"I'm totally fine."
"Yeah. Too good."
"We won't complain if it rains."
High Elves are pretty wild when it comes to rainstorms.
"Well, a new house would make my wives very happy." I'll take care of it, but I'll pay the rent properly, so please take care of it. "
The three of you bowed your heads.
I mean... "
"I don't need the rent." Because it's too cheap to dismantle just meat and my food. In other words, my cooking is not a price. "
That's right!
"We want to eat delicious food!"
Um, why are you all telling me that?
Being puzzled, Jรธrgen, Verte, and Radmir looked at each other and let out a sigh.
"No, this is what I'm saying, but we high elves are so-so, and we can do most things." But, the cooking is so different.... "
"Well, still, some of them had good food." Of course, it doesn't even reach the foot of the dish called fried or tonkatsu..... "
"The three of us are not good at cooking, and we make something to eat, so we do our best." to my wives.... "
"You can't let them cook."
The three of them asserted that with a sloppy face.
"Ah, the wives are messmates..."
โThat's why delicious food is valuable to us.โ
"That's right! Happy to have a full meal"
Awesome!
Beautiful man and beautiful woman seem to be getting along well together. I thought they were these rear chargers, but there was such a flaw.
I probably don't like the fact that I can't eat a good meal.
I may be sympathetic in that regard.
That's why I'm paying my rent.
No, it's fine.
I know high elves are worth a good meal, but I'm an amateur.
I don't care if you say that.
Even the Adventurer's Guild hesitated to dismantle the High Elves.
The price for that meat and my food is nothing.
Even if I offset the rent, I'm not worried that it might not be enough.
"No, no, that's..."
"That's right."
"You have to pay the rent."
No, no, no, no, no, no.
At the end of the day, the price of dismantling somehow was settled by offsetting the monster's meat, my food, and my rent.
Somehow I think this is really good, but finally the high elves are convinced.
Well, if it's okay with my food, I'll have a feast a lot of times and quantities.

The kitchen of the mansion rented in the drain.
The spacious kitchen of the mansion, arguably the mansion, provided luxurious amenities commensurate with it.
In that luxurious kitchen, there's a red dragon (red dragon) hunk of meat in front of me.
Red Dragon meat for dinner.
The red dragon meat was a lean meat similar to the ground dragon.
But I feel less fat over here.
"I knew this was the first one."
It was the same when the Ground Dragon (Ground Dragon), but if you were the first to taste the meat of the dragon, it would still be dragon steak.
I removed the previously bought Heavenly Salt and black pepper with mill from the item box.
Then cut the red dragon (red dragon) meat slightly thicker for steak.
The baking method is always the same as baking lean meat steak.
When oil is soaked in a frying pan and heated over high heat, add salt and pepper to the red dragon (red dragon) meat just before cooking.
Place the red dragon (red dragon) meat in a hot frying pan and it sounds good enough to cook the meat.
Along with that, the kitchen filled with a nice smell of meat roasting.
"Sukhar, you smell delicious."
First it's a high heat, then it's a low heat, then it's turned upside down and cooked the same way, and then it's covered with aluminum foil for the dish and put to bed, and then it can be done where the fire goes right through to the inside with the excess heat.
"I knew steak was good - it looks delicious to see"
Privilege of the maker, so give it a taste.
Mogmog, mogmog.
"Yeah well."
Red Dragon (Red Dragon) meat may have a more wild taste like Zivier.
This could be delicious to cook and eat in large chunks of meat like roast beef.
Roast dragon, okay?
Sprinkle with gravy sauce made from gravy filled with the flavour of dragon meat......
Gokuri, you look no better than this dragon steak.
Red Dragon meat has a lot of red flavor and looks solid at first sight, but that's not true at all.
Soft but also moderately chewy, with a delicious gravy spreading all over the mouth after each bite.
"Just a little more..."
If I had eaten while I thought so, I would have lost about half of my oversized dragon steak at some point.
"Whoa, it's delicious, so I stuck with it too much."
You shouldn't be too delicious.
When I ate ground dragon meat, I thought it might be the best meat I've ever had, but that rocked me.
Which tastes better depends on your taste, but it's very hard to wear.
Or is dragon meat so delicious for everyone?
I told the Fells the next time I found the dragon, if they didn't attack me, I'd leave them alone, but I'd love to override that word.
Dragon meat tastes that good.
I imagine that all the meat of the dragon species is delicious, since both the red dragon meat and the ground dragon meat are so delicious.
That makes me want to try other dragon meats.
I'm not saying hunt aggressively, but I think if I find it when I'm hunting, maybe I'll have it hunted.
I don't think we'll ever meet a dragon like that.
Well, we'll have to think about that later and just bake everybody's steak.
If you're bringing too much, it's going to rush us all into the kitchen.
โ โ โ โ โ
"Hmm. I ate it a while ago, but the red dragon's meat is delicious. It's different when it's baked."
I taste a simple dragon steak with only salt and pepper while Fell says so.
"That prestigious guy is pretty awesome when it comes to meat, too"
"Dragon meat is delicious!
Is Sui also excited about the deliciousness of dragon steak, or is she pulling shivers as she takes it into her body?
We were all hitting dinner dragon steak in formation in the spacious living room.
When I was baking dragon steak, I ate a cool amount as a taste, but I could still eat this meat.
Now I'm eating with onion-flavoured steak soy sauce.
Dragon meat goes great with soy sauce.
Simple dragon steak with just salt and pepper is also delicious, but dragon steak with steak soy sauce is even better.
"I rarely eat dragon meat, but they're all pretty good."
I see.
Does the meat of the dragon species taste good after all?
"When I heard that, the next time I found a dragon before this, I told him to leave it alone if he wasn't attacked, but maybe I could get him to hunt. I wish I could find it when I hunt."
When I said that, Fell nodded loudly.
'Um, that's a good idea. Since I met your Lord, I've been lucky enough to keep hunting dragons to stand up, but that's not how I usually find them. I think it's a good idea to secure it when you find it. The dragons are delicious. "
Fell's a no-brainer, too.
It takes a lot of work to come to the drain to dismantle it, but this delicacy might not make it bitter either.
That said, we usually talk about not finding it that way.
So we were actually very lucky to keep getting Ground Dragon and Red Dragon.
'Hey, it's a replacement. Put that on me next time. "
"Me too."
"Sui too."
Yes, steak soy sauce.
First, garlic-flavored steak soy sauce.
Fell, Dora and Sui flattened their dragon steaks one after the other.
That's why I flattened two thick steaks, too.
Dragon steak, too delicious.
"Phew, I ate it"
"Um. I'm hungry."
"Me too. I ate too much."
"Sui is hungry too"
Wandered Red Dragon Dragon steak and is off to eat now.
"Oh, yeah. I need to tell you something."
"No, what?
"Actually..."
I told Fell, Dora and Sui how I got the protection of the Creator, Demiurgos.
"... that's why I got protection from the Creator. Well, my life expectancy grew to about 00 years."
'Wouldn't that have been good? Good news for me, too. Now you can eat something delicious for 1500 years! Fuhahahahaha, I thought people's lives were short but I had no choice about that either, but 1500 years? Um, good, good.'
"Oh, now instead of 1500 years of eating up, we'll have it on delicious rice! I did a good job with that Creator!
"Well, it means that you can stay with one forever, and you can also serve a delicious meal made of sauce. Yay! Yay! Sui, I'm happy!
We're all kind of tense.
Kasa......
"Everybody says rice, but do I have to feed everyone for 1500 years?
'What are you talking about, naturally. We are the obedience of your Lord. Because the Lord, the Lord, is responsible for us the devil.'
Mr. Fell, don't look at me like I'm saying anything obvious.
To some extent, I thought you'd come with me, but at exactly 1500 years, I thought that Fell, Dora and Sui would get tired of each having a long life expectancy along the way.
Now that we're talking, we don't all seem to feel that way about Sarah.
Does that mean we have to feed everyone for 1500 years?
With all this together, I naturally have feelings, and I guess I have to accept this because I think it's fate.
It could be tough, but I might be a little happy.
Well, you can cook, but the ingredients and meat are sourced individually.
I don't have the power to prepare everyone's staple meat. (Kippari) | ใใฉใณใงๅใใๅฑๆทใฎใญใใใณใ

"Hmmm......"
In the living room of a house in Curry Lina, beside sleeping Fell, Grandpa Gong and Dora and Sui, I've been thinking about something I've been a little concerned about lately.
"What's up?
That's what I heard about Fell with only one thin eye open.
"No..."
I told Fell that I was a little concerned and made him listen.
Not long ago, I got a magic fridge as one of the treasures of the Bandit King.
When I got it, I said I got good stuff, and from now on, I thought I'd use it with a bang, but the truth is that it doesn't really show up.
I have an online supermarket, so you can buy it for use then, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, save it in the item box.
To be honest, you only use it when you marinate it to let the meat stuck in, or about when you make shallow marinades.
Also, if the flavor stains enough, it will be transferred to the item box.
It's a magic prop because of it, and I wish I could use some more...
"The refrigerator is the main purpose of storing food at low temperatures in the first place, so if you think about it carefully, it's convenient for me to have a time-stopped item box, I wonder if it's subtle..."
That's what cools the drinks, 'cause when you buy them at an online supermarket, they generally get cold except for buying boxes.
"If you're going to bang a cold dessert like the yogurt jelly I made before, you're going to think it's good to have it, but it's not about dessert."
It's as easy as jelly, so I can make it, but that's also why I just make jelly.
'If you don't want to use anything else, don't use it. That bothering you so much?
"I say so, but it's what you got because of it, and it's a waste. But a cold dessert? Hmmm......"
I was wondering if there was anything other than jelly I could possibly make...
"Desserto? Sweet!
Sui, who loves sweets, reacted to the word dessert.
"Dessert, or make -? Hey, what kind of...?
Sue gets on my lap and blames me for asking questions in a eating mood.
And Grandpa Gong and Dra also woke up to see if Sui's thoughts resounded.
"Huh. What, dessert? I don't hate sweets. '
"If it's what the Lord makes, it looks delicious."
Dora and Grandpa Gong say that too.
"Hey, what kind of make?
"Oh, no, you know, sui"
I can't say......
I can't say I can't make it now.
Something cold dessert I can make.
............... Oh, there was a cold dessert I could even make!
It's a rare cheesecake I made at a coffee shop part-time when I was a student!
โ โ โ โ โ
"All right, let's get started"
I was tempted in the kitchen.
For dinner this evening, turn it into a menthikatsu sandwich made of dungeon pork and dungeon beef I left to make (but by the way, it's just an easy but super delicious confident menthikatsu sandwich toasted with a little bit of Theresa's special rustic country bread and buttered, sauced over cabbage and juicy menthikatsu. Of course there's a cheese IN version), the main thing is to make a rare cheesecake for dessert.
Let's start with sourcing ingredients in an online supermarket.
Sugar-free plain yogurt on cream cheese and raw cream................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Cart after cart remembering ingredients.
I did the checking and started cooking where the ingredients were on hand.
"Let's start with the foundation."
Remove the hot water stored in the item box for coffee and tea and dissolve unsalted butter over water.
Then I put the biscuit in a plastic bag, beat it with a noodle stick and shatter it fine.
Gong, gong, gong -.
"... uh, sui, what's up?
From the kitchen entrance and exit, Sui was peeking this way.
"Yeah, I was wondering how I'd make it."
Are you interested because Sui loves sweet things?
"Do you want to make a swim with me?
So Swiss also joined the battle to make rare cheesecakes.
"Then tap the biscuits in this bag with this stick and fine it. Oh, don't beat me too hard."
If Sui beats him for real, he's going to break his plastic bag.
"Okay ~"
Gong, gong, gong, gong -.
In a plastic bag with finely crushed biscuits on the sui, add the hot, melted butter and mommy mommy.
Once the butter is tame in the biscuit, lay it down on the bottom of the mould where the cooking sheet is laid, flatten it, and let it cool in the magic refrigerator.
Next, mix the cream cheese left unattended and returned to room temperature in a bowl in a foam bowl until smooth.
"Sui, it's this bubble and I was wondering if you could mix this up with a vessel"
Sui mixing glue and cream cheese vigorously.
"Yes, stop. Yeah, you're smooth enough. Then add sugar here...... Hi, mix it up again"
"Mix the sugar salad until it's gone."
Grrrrrrrrrr -.
"Tsuruji, Zarazara's gone."
"Then add yogurt and lemon juice... Yes, mix it up again"
When everything is mixed and smoothed, the next step is raw cream.
Place the raw cream in another bowl and bubble about seven minutes to stand.
"Sui, now mix this one up"
Sui starting to mix raw cream in a foam bowl.
Thanks to Sui, I'll be standing for about seven minutes soon.
"Yes, fine."
So when I have the powdered gelatin dissolved in hot water combined with the cream cheese dough, I mix everything together.
Once the melted powdered gelatin is mixed in a bowl of the first cream cheese, add another seven minutes of standing raw cream and mix thoroughly to make the dough.
All you have to do is take out the mould that was chilled in the magic fridge, pour in the dough and flatten the surface...
"Suey, if you put this in the fridge and chill and stiffen it, you're done with the rare cheesecake."
That's what I'm going to say. I'm going to put a mold in the magic fridge.
Consider one hole per person and create five holes.
I managed to fit in the magic fridge.
Well, I don't eat one hole by myself, but if I stay, someone will, so it'll be fine.
The rare cheesecake I taught on the job like this feels like a classic in the middle of nowhere.
I could've made it, too, so, well, I guess so.
But it was popular there, wasn't it?
Now that I think about it, don't think it was a good idea to call it a classic.
I won't take it off too much.
And then you were changing the fruit sauce you put on each season.
Maybe that's why it was popular too.
This rare cheesecake still tastes good enough, but I'm going to mimic it as a part-time destination and make fruit sauce.
"Suey, now I'm gonna make you some fruit sauce to put on a rare cheesecake."
"With fruit in hand........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Violet Berry"
"Uh, the one I picked in the dungeon."
"Yes, yes. Let's use this as a source."
Heat in a pan with violet berries, granulated sugar and lemon juice cut into appropriate sizes over low heat.
Once the moisture is out and the granulated sugar is melted and boiled until slightly thickened, the rest is served with violet berry sauce if allowed to cool.
"Hey, hey, I was wondering if you could cake."
"Not yet."
"Oh well. How long can you do that?
"I wonder if it's going to take any longer. But if you can, you can't eat right away."
"Why?
"I told you it was dessert after dinner. So it's fun after dinner."
"Well, then, Sue, I'll put up with you till dinner."
..................
............
......
And after your waiting dinner.
Cut up pure white rare cheesecake and sprinkle with bright purple violet berry sauce......
"Yes, rare cheesecake for dessert after dinner. It's me and Suey."
'Wow! Hey, I made this with you, too!
"Well, which one?"
"You look beautiful."
"It's not quite done."
Fell, Grandpa Gong and Dora bump into rare cheesecake.
"Hey, hey, which one?
Sui is asking everyone while blubbering and shaking.
"Uhm. That's not bad."
"Oh. It's too sweet."
"Normally."
I heard everyone's thoughts when Sui said, 'Yatter!' And I'm jumping pompous.
I'll take a sip too.
"Yeah, you did well. It's delicious. Try a swim."
Sui taking in rare cheesecake.
"Delicious ~"
Seeing a happy sui makes me happy too.

Oh, now I hear someone I shouldn't hear.
"Come on... let's do something you didn't ask."
I seem to have overliked the sweet stuff and accidentally got my voice.
Pup.
"Sui, can I hem this cake, Goddess?
"Hmm? Fine."
"Then put this on the table and give the goddess a hemming"
I gave the cut rare cheesecake to Sui.
"This was made by Sui. I recommend it to the goddess."
A plate of rare cheesecake placed by Sui on the table disappeared instantly with the light.
"Wow! The cake disappeared."
"Haha, the goddess had it"
"Oh well. Would you say it's delicious?
It's delicious! Slime, that's quite an arm!
"Wow, goddess, the cake Sui made is delicious."

Back at the inn, Fell said, 'I'm hungry'.
Well, the sunset starts to set. It's not that time of year, but it's hard to make a Fell meal with a lot of food.
Well, I can't help it, do you make it?
What shall we do today?
It's all meat here these days, so you should eat vegetables too.
Sautรฉed vegetables when I say it can be done quickly with vegetables and meat.
Fell's share is meaty.
I think I'm going to say boo-boo that I don't have a lot of meat because it's about him.
Um, I bought the vegetables before, so you had cabbage and onions, carrots and peppers.
I'd like to include sprouts and mushrooms, but I don't have them, so I'm patient with this for today.
The seasoning is fine because there is that one.
Well, he said to cut the red bore meat to the right size first.
It's a big deal by Fell standards though.
Cut the vegetables into appropriate sizes because they don't have to be that fine either.
Shake the salt and pepper gently on the red bore meat first and fry in a frying pan, then remove once the fire has gone through to some extent.
If you have sesame oil at this time, it will taste better if you fry it.
I didn't have any sesame oil this time, so I stir-fried it in regular salad oil.
Then fry in the frying pan in the order of carrots, onions, bell peppers and cabbage.
I prefer peppers and cabbage to have a bit of teeth, so I fry them like this.
Once the vegetables have gone through some fire, add the stir-fried red bore meat there and saute gently.
And that's that appearance I've been having lately.
Sweet and spicy Chinese miso (tubed).
This is delicious again, and I've been using all this lately when it comes to stir-fried vegetables.
The food company is really good yesterday.
You don't have to make the seasoning to add this sweet and spicy Chinese miso, so you can fry the delicious sweet and spicy Chinese miso flavored vegetables.
So put this hot, sweet and spicy Chinese miso into the fried vegetables and red bore.
Let the flavor soak up while you gently fry it, yes you can.
"Fell, we're done."
"No, I just want the meat."
"No, you've always been just meat. You should eat some vegetables."
'Sure, sometimes they say we should eat leaves... But I don't have a problem eating it. Now I haven't eaten leaves in the last few decades. Whatever leaves you eat, they taste bad.'
I'll say it with pride. It's not this way, is it?
Eating leaves is like cats eating grass or something?
Well, vegetables won't be bad for you for now, so you should eat them.
When I serve a large serving of sweet and spicy Chinese miso vegetables stir-fried (more meat) in front of the fel, I take a light bite at first.
After that I started eating guts as usual.
Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
This sweet and spicy Chinese miso should be delicious.
Well, shall I eat too?
Yeah, yeah, yummy, yummy.
... Ah, no rice.
I should have cooked rice. Uh-huh.
Damn, I totally forgot.
Even though this is the flavour that goes with rice...... gaggle.
I had no choice but to eat some bread.
But I knew it was rice for this flavor.
I realized that rice should be bought away.
The sweet and spicy Chinese miso flavour also seemed to be popular with Fell, and after about three changes, she finally seemed satisfied.
I knew Fell was about to have a big meal.
Expect to see how much meat will be tomorrow. | ๅฎฟใซๆปใใจใใใงใซใใ่

When I went to the Adventurer Guild, I heard a message from Mr. Ugor from the receptionist at the desk.
Everything is too busy right now to let go, so I'm sorry, but I wanted you to go directly to the warehouse.
I'm a little sorry because I'm part of the busy cause.
In the meantime, I headed directly to the warehouse, as the message said.
Speaking to the official in charge of demolition, whom I had seen several times, the conversation soon became clear.
"I've heard from the deputy guild master. We were talking about removing the meat yourself, so we keep it in the refrigerator."
Head to the refrigerator with guidance from the staff.
I've been in the refrigerator a couple of times because of the dragon meat pickup, etc., and it was filled with hiatus air.
"So this is x Wyburn, x Wild Bison, 3x Golden Sheep, 7x Blue Bull, 1x Giant Turkey,"
I received the meat from the staff and stored it in the item box one after the other.
"The cost of the purchase is also kept by the Deputy Alliance Master, so please come this way."
Get out of the refrigerator and follow after the staff.
"So here's the purchase price"
Two small hemp bags were placed on the workbench.
"First of all, I'm more of a drop of Aveling dungeon, but Venom Tarantula's poison bag x 92 has 644 gold coins and a special individual poison bag..."
An official explained the breakdown of the drops in Aveling's dungeon.
3098 gold coins in total.
That's a lot of money, but I'm not surprised now.
This is followed by the cost of non-meat purchases such as Wyburn and Wild Bison.
That's what the official said referring to the small hemp bag with white gold coins and gold coins on the workbench.
"A message from the Deputy Guildmaster that we will pay with white and gold coins because we did not have a large gold coin with us."
Yes, yes, I'm perfectly fine.
I haven't even used white or large gold coins.
When I tried to get the money back, an official just called me off.
"Oh, yeah, wait a minute."
An official brought something on the run.
"The deputy guild master told me to give this to Mr. Mukoda."
That said, he was given a basket of red dragon (red dragon) meat and pound cake that I gave Mr. Ugor during this time.
Guess what?
When I left the Adventurer's Guild, I opened it and saw that there were two letters inside and a pot just big enough to sup into the basket.
Looking at the letter, one was from Mr. Ugor's wife, Tirza, and the other was from your son, Mikhail, and your daughter, Milana.
โMy name is Tirza and I'm Ugor's wife.
Thank you for the meat of a very precious dragon.
We had a delicious family meal.
Sweet treat, very, very tasty.
As a heartfelt gratitude, please accept my made dried fruit. โ
โThanks for the yummy smell.
Thanks for the yummy freak, too.
Miraya. "
Apparently the dragon meat and pound cake were delightful.
I wonder what's the same thing about this lady not having eyes for something sweet, looks like Mr. Tilza was particularly pleased with the pound cake.
I can also see that Mikhail wrote a letter from you and Mirana trying so hard to convey her feelings with an obnoxious letter.
Especially since Mirana can barely read her handwriting, I wonder if she's just starting to learn the handwriting.
I'm glad to hear something like this.
When I opened the lid of the kettle, Mr. Tirza had all sorts of dried fruits made by hand that were dodgy packed.
I'll try one.
Rustic gentle sweetness spread over the mouth.
Read the letter back again and dust it.
"Lord, what are you nibbling at?
Fell......
What's a nigga, because people are soaking up a good mood?
Ha, well, okay.
"Come on, let's go home and eat."
"Umm."
"Rice."
"Rice ~" | ๅ้บ่

"Nh... disrespect, sin... death penalty... hah"
When I jumped up, I was somehow in the city.
Besides, everyone on the street was looking at me.
I checked my situation while wondering why....
"Huh? Why am I on a fer?"
Next to Fel, who put me on, is Grandpa Gong, who put Dora-chan on the swim.
"You were in the royal palace, right?Hee, was that a dream? "
Fell sighs when she sees me confused.
It can't be a dream.I was in the royal palace.You passed out pathetically. "
"Shut up. I mean, faint...Yes, that's right! Fell and Grandpa Gong say terrible things to the king! "
I told him to be so quiet, but Fel and Grandpa Gong said to the king, "It's not over yet?'That's what I was saying.
Hmph, I went out with you because you wanted me to, but it took too long.
That's right. I don't think there's a reason why a king should go out with him in the first place.
"Nh, Nh, Nh, why are you guys so great!"
This attitude toward the King.
I didn't say it was charming, but I wanted you to be quiet and quiet ~.
I'm a Fenrir.It's only natural that I'm stronger than anyone else. "
Fel seemed to take it for granted.
I disagree that it is stronger than anyone in Fel, but it is not the world's reason for the weak to follow the strong.And the strongest man in the world will be the Ancient Dragon.It's embarrassing that a man like a king of a kingdom gives instructions to a king. "
Grandpa Gong took it for granted.
"You guys!"
Ku ~, it was a big mistake for Dora-chan and Sui to still take Fel and Gong to the royal palace.
Ha, there's nothing you can do about it.
More than that, from now on.
I don't know why I'm out of the royal palace and in the city, but it's convenient in this situation.
"All right, everybody, let's get out of King's Landing before we're charged with disrespect!"
"Ha, what are you talking about?"
Lord......
Fell and Grandpa Gong with stupid faces.
"What's with that attitude?I suppose it's because you guys are rude.I'm guilty of being your lord! "
Unexpectedly pulled Fell's hair, disappointing at Fell and Grandpa Gong's unusual attitude.
Hey Cora, don't pull my hair!
"I don't know if it's your fault ~"
So I told you not to pull!
"Oops, I'll blow your hair off!"
If you're going to be crushed, try it!With the power of the Lord, you will only be able to grow exquisite old hair. "
"You said that! Fell!"
I was angry, so I pulled Fel's hair as hard as I could.
Fel looked back and said that to me like he was an idiot.
"Shit."
I pulled my hair even harder, but it didn't seem to work for Fell at all.
Kukukuku. Well, Lord, calm down.I won't be held guilty.There was someone there who could tell the story. "
"Who understands the story?"
Who knows what Grandpa Gong is talking about?
Grandpa Gong is right.The human woman next to the king was quite the discerner.He said he wouldn't let us do anything about it.He was next to the king, so he must be quite powerful. "
Next to the king?
..................
"That's the queen!"
Really? He was more powerful than the king. "
"Yikes....."
A glimpse of the power relationship within the royal family.
King, is it laid on the queen's ass...?
I was the one who understood the story, so I told him that I would listen to his wishes for about once.Fenrir, that's what I said, I don't want to miss it. "
"Hmm, and I told you I'd be free to spend time in this country.Let's not talk differently about that to our opponents. "
Oh, is that so?
That means....
"Am I innocent?"
I thought you said you'd be fine.
The Lord should listen to you a little more carefully.
Wow, wow.
I can't stop struggling because you guys are so rude!
When I was relieved, Dora jumped into my head.
You guys have a long story!If we're done talking, we'll go around the stalls!
Eh?!
Aruji, I'm starving ~
Mm-hmm. Let's get you hungry first.
The street in King's Landing doesn't look bad either.
Okay, let's go to the stall I was watching first! That way!
Dora-chan took the lead in turning the direction.
Our party headed for the stall Dora-chan was watching.
After that, it's a private diner's cartel.
Fell, Grandpa Gong, Dora, and Sui all depend on the smell of that stall over there.
I naturally have wings that go with it.
Everywhere, by the time everyone was satisfied, the sky was red stained.
The stalls in King's Landing were also quite good!
It was delicious ~
Hmm, it wasn't bad.Well, it's inferior to the street stalls in the city where the meat dungeon was. "
That city! The stalls in that city were delicious!
Dungeon of meat! I want to go again ~
Heh ~, is there such a dungeon?I'd like to go too. "
The city of Lausendar...
I don't remember.
They're less dangerous than regular dungeons, and it's good to have plenty of meat.
I'd like to see Maynard and Enzo again.
Above all, I made a promise to everyone.
"Let's go with the next meat dungeon festival."
Hmm!
Of course!
Let's go!
Ho ho ho, I'm looking forward to it ~
I was wondering what would happen at the moment, but no one would come to get me for shopping like this, and I'm pretty sure that this is an acquittal.
Good, good.
But I feel like I've forgotten something...
What was that?
"............ ahh, Alliance Master!"
I was walking around the streets, but now I remember!
We were together, Alliance Master!
"And for now, let's go to the King's City Adventurer Alliance!"
I hurried to the King's Townsfolk walking down the street to hear about the Adventurer Alliance.
And upon arrival, the King's Capital Adventurer Alliance is bigger and better than the Adventurer Alliance of other cities.
I was afraid to go inside...
There was a royal demon.

'All right, we're gonna eat meat!
'That's right! Meat. Come on, meat nik!
He said, "I know."
Fell and Dora making noise with meat as soon as they get back.
Are you going to eat meat? I'll have a swim, too!
Did Sui also wake up because of the noise Fell and Dora made? I pounced out of my bag.
'Cause you pushed those kids, naturally!
'Totally. That's the devil, then. The devil. You cut your gory health just by dealing with those guys!
"Yes, yes, I understand. You just have to serve plenty of meat, right? That said, I can't make it that elaborate now. It's easy."
'What can you make when it's easy?
"Um, stir-fry, I guess. How about stir-fried vegetables? You eat meat and vegetables and you're balanced."
When I say that, I say 'let's say meat' in an angry breeze as Fell leans against his nose and peels his teeth out.
Nothing. You wouldn't have to be mad at me like that.
"So what about oak meat or dungeon pork and grilled ginger?
I can do this right away with a commercially available ginger grilled sauce.
"Oh, ginger roast? That's good."
Do you think of the taste of ginger grill, coveted from Fell's mouth?
It's dirty, already.
"Ginger roasted, it's delicious. I like you, too, so that's it!
"Sui likes ginger roast too -!
Both Dora and Sui are already in ginger grill mode.
"Do you want to cook ginger then? The meat..., you're a dungeon pig. I still don't have enough stock to hammer out. I've also cooked rice, so it's a bowl of ginger."
Even when it comes to meat, just grilled ginger is too intense.
I figured rice and rice would be the best.
'That's fine, but I don't need vegetables. Put only meat on the rice. "
"No vegetables are sappier with cabbage."
'No, just meat. Just put the meat on. Plenty.'
"I want gutty meat today, too, so do me the same favor as Fell."
"Sui is also full of meat -"
Heck.
I can't help it.
Ginger grill made pampered using commercially available ginger grilled sauce.
I'll put that directly without cabbage on top of the rice served in a bowl the Fells hope.
"Hey, more."
"More like this. I've got plenty on it."
'That's not enough. More.'
Fell urges me to serve more ginger roasts.
"You can do this, can't you?
"More!
They urge me to do more and pile up the ginger grill.
"Is this it? I can't do this any more. It's breaking down."
And what I was able to do eventually was a cozy, soothing ginger-baked tower.
"Uhm, that's it"
Fell is delighted with the ginger-baked tower that soars in front of her.
Naturally, there's the same thing before Dora and Sui.
"This is good food."
"Delicious Shiso"
And a trio that starts eating guts to attack the ginger-baked tower in front of you.
It was me with a bitter laugh that "you're too early" for a ginger grill tower that was instantly attacked.
Fell and Dora and Sui finally satisfied after dominating several ginger roasted towers each.
Did Fell and Dora get tired of their children? They went to bed as soon as they did.
I guess I'm pretty tired because it's enough to even cancel my favorite bath to get to Dra.
Me and Sui take a bath and then head to the master bedroom...
Goo, goo -.
Hushu, Hushu -.
A sound that sounds regular.
It originated with Fell and Dora.
"Kukuku, Fel and Dora are both snoring and sleeping."
"Interesting Sound"
"Right."
Snoring and sleeping gussy, Fel and Dora laughed kussly as they watched with Sui, and we fell asleep too.
โ โ โ โ โ
After breakfast I headed to the Merchant Guild to return the keys to the house I had rented, and with those feet I took the Fells to the Adventurer Guild.
The Fells, who proclaim, 'We'll head to the dungeon at once when we get out of this city,' are willing on the road to the Adventurer's Guild.
When he entered the Adventurer Alliance and spoke at the window, an official led him right under Mr. Isaac.
Mr. Isak said he had worked his way out of paperwork early in the morning in the Guildmaster's room.
"Welcome, Mr. Mkoda. Excuse me, just a moment."
Writing violently about whether it's a hasty paperwork or something.
"Oh, I'll wait. You don't have to hurry."
Wait for a moment, sipping the tea brewed for me by the staff.
"Thank you for waiting. Good."
I put four seemingly heavy hemp bags on the table while Mr. Isak said so.
"There are 0 gold coins in Tyrant Forest Python's crusade reward and 180 gold coins for purchasing materials, plus 410 gold coins."
Then I put something like a carpet wrapped around a guru that was standing on the wall next to Dosun and me.
I've been wondering about that for a while now, from that pattern, it's Tyrant Forest Python skin...
"This is one third of the skin you want."
Is it this sense of weight in a third?
Maybe I failed a little.
Maybe a fifth, no, maybe a sixth.
It may be too big, but can I mean a souvenir for Mr. Lamberto?
If Mr. Lamberto seems concerned, you can ask him to make some bags and accessories with that skin.
Oh, sometimes they make little things out of this skin for all of us and give them to them.
Well, you need to talk to Mr. Lamberto about that.
With that in mind, he stored a hemp bag with gold coins and the skin of Tyrant Forest Python in a magic bag.
"Okay, now."
"It's a shame. You can stay in this city a little longer."
With the Fells waiting for the dungeon, I wonder if that's an impossible story.
Besides, I have a feeling I'm going to be pushed to do a lot of work if I stay longer.
When I told him I was leaving the city immediately after this with a bitter laugh, Mr. Isak came to see me off to the exit downstairs.
"Well, thank you for your help."
"No. Welcome. It really helped that you got an urgent request. Thank you. Please stop by this city again. Well then I may be flying to another city again, hahahaha..."
Mr. Isak, I'm so sad...
Oh, yeah, Aleale.
Give me the array and you'll get a little better.
I gently removed [Divine Medicine Hair Power] from the item box so that Mr. Isaac wouldn't notice me.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Isaac. Here you go."
I thought too pitiful of Isak's hair, and besides [Divine Medicine Hair Power], I also put on a hair growth shampoo for him.
"What's this?
"Uh, a medicine that works for hair... After washing your hair with this shampoo, wipe the water thoroughly and massage this hair conditioner into the entire scalp for your hands in small amounts."
With that said, Isak stares straight into his eyes at the [Divine Medicine Hair Power] and hair growth shampoo I have in my hands.
"This, if any, is a hot topic among the nobles of the Kingdom of Leonhardt..."
Oh, did you know?
"Is it rumored to be this country? As a matter of fact, I'm being kind enough with the merchants selling this, and they're giving me some."
"M., Mukoda. Wow! Oh, you're a friend of my heart. Wow, wow, wow, wow."
"Oh, cry? Or don't hold me."
"Mukoda. Wow."
"Hey, hey, get away from me. Hey, Mr. Isak!
It's just creepy to be held by a bald scattered old man, so uh-huh.
"Fe, Fel, help me!
'I don't know' turned to Fell for help.
Do you have it in your roots about yesterday?
"D, Dora."
Dra turned that way with Twone, too.
Dora too. Huh.
S, where's Sui?
I can't sleep in my bag.
I try so hard to let Mr. Isak go, but this vulture scattered old man has a strong proposal. I can't get away with it.
"Thanks, but first..."
"Well, I get it, so just stay away from me!
I guess it's sad. This is the Morning Adventurer Guild.
Naturally, a lot of adventurers were gathered.
Us getting noticed with the eye of intrigue.
From that, he said, "Guildmaster, are you having an insane fight?" and so on. "
Because it's not!
Besides, it's impossible to be with such a bald scattered old man! | ใใใใ่ใ้ฃใใ!ใ

He was coming to the Adventurer's Guild in the city of Carrerina with members of Phoenix.
The window wasn't that crowded either because it was mostly dark time.
I lined up next to the desk where Phoenix lined up.
My line got to the reception a little early.
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask you to buy"
That's what I said. I gave you the Adventurer Alliance guild card.
"Yes, it's a purchase."
Receive the guild card I gave you while the receptionist said so.
When I checked something on hand, the receptionist's face clouded.
"This, you've been deregistered. Master Mucoder is G-ranked, but didn't he receive the request within a month?
Hey, I totally forgot because of everything.
"Actually, a lot happened..."
"G-rank is the shortest time period, so that's what happens sometimes."
If you listen to me, G-Rank means Theory is the one who gets all the requests anyway and goes to F-Rank early.
That way, it will grow for three months and a period of time, and there will be requests from the F-rank for earnings that are quite predictable.
Oh, you did, I didn't ask anything.
I forgot the period. I'm the worst. Come on.
"Is it okay if I pay the registration fee again?
I need to sign up for the Adventurer Alliance because I have demon demolitions.
"Yes, as long as you pay five silver coins for the registration fee. Since Mcoder is currently the lowest ranked G-rank, it is no problem for you to use the guild card as it is."
"Oh, you don't have a problem with a submissive who's already registered?
Ask the receptionist as he looks at Fell behind him.
Look at Fell. The receptionist was a little surprised, but he said, "No problem."
Well, then I'll pay you five silver coins.
I paid five silver coins to have them re-registered.
"Then I'd like to ask you to register because I have a new obedience."
"Are you a new submissive?
"Yes, this is him"
I held Sui out of her bag and showed her to the receptionist.
"S, is it slime?
Confused face receptionist.
Don't make fun of Sui.
Unlike the other slimes, our swim is so strong.
"He's a special individual. He's very strong."
I said proud or proud, but the receptionist doesn't seem to believe me and gives a careless reply like "ha" or something.
Grunt.
You have to see the strength of Sui.
Get Sui's exorcism registered and start talking about buying.
"I'm buying it, I'd like to ask for some orcs and some other demons"
"If so, please use the next purchase desk."
Is the big demon still a dedicated contact point?
"Mr. Mkoda, are you done?
It was Mr. Larsh, the leader of Phoenix, who spoke up.
"Yes, you've been framed for forgetting the duration of your request and re-registering."
"That was tough."
"Truth be told, I'm not a very enthusiastic adventurer because I'm not the main one"
"Really?
"Yeah. As you know, our squire is about a big meal. That's not so much a problem with Fell getting the demons, but the demolition of the demons he's gained..."
"I see. Adventurer Guild is the best place to ask for demolition. Well, I don't have a hand in asking a muggle dismantler or butcher, but they don't trust me very much. Moguri demolishers can be botched, and there are a lot of cluttered jobs, and butchers handle meat carefully, but other skin-like materials are cluttered. Sometimes other ingredients are more valuable than meat. Given that, it's best to have it dismantled in an experienced and highly professional Adventurer Guild"
Ho, did you?
You even had hands on a mogul dismantler or a butcher.
I would never ask for it if I heard what you were saying.
Even though there's something about registration, it means you were right to ask the Adventurer Guild.
"So, Mr. Mkoda wants you to buy the demon?
"Yes, there's no more meat."
"Oh, because we ate it?
Well, that's one of the reasons, but let's keep it quiet.
"No, I've already run out of them."
"It's the one you've got, isn't it? Can I see what kind of demon you're interested in?
That's what Mr. Larsh said as he looked at Fell.
Would you mind if I were a member of Phoenix?
"Fine."

I have also finished buying the drops and the next day I take my time off.
The weather was nice too, so I went to the garden end with Fell, Grandpa Gong, Dra and Sui.
Fell, Grandpa Gong and Dora are gooseca naps on the lawn.
Only Sui was playing well though.
That said, at the end of the day, I was blasting Fell's moff hair instead of a futon.
I'm a little tired of playing with Sui.
More than that, it's a bitter laugh that someone saw us out in the garden, and the rumors spread and the spectators stuck around this house all day.
Don't be afraid of that spectator either. He kept sleeping slowly. It was also a bitter laugh for the big guys in our cartel: Fell, Grandpa Gong, Dra, and Sui.
And today, he was coming to the Adventurers Guild again.
Take everyone from Fell, Grandpa Gong, Dra and Sui.
The purpose is to gather information.
I thought I'd do some social services here in the city of Hirschfeld.
To do so, we need to gather information about the church and the orphanage.
Mr. Tristan was able to meet me right away and teach me a lot.
I was still freaking out about Grandpa Gong's appearance, though.
"Is it social service? That's a good idea. The city is second only to the king's capital, so there are different churches, large and small, and with that there are quite a few orphanages. It has to do with the number of believers, so it seems that every little difference in entry is leading a life of pure poverty."
"Except for one..." Mr. Tristan continued with a bitter face.
One of them, says Mr. Tristan, is the Lubanov church.
It's a religion that speaks of example human supremacy.
From time to time, Mr. Tristan taught me without leaving me with a bunch of bad reviews about whether he didn't feel comfortable about Lubanovism or even this.
By means of the luxurious funds sent from the country, they say that those in the Church, including priests, live a life of luxury and obscurity that is far from pure poverty.
And there are constant bad rumors of bad guys gathering for that luxurious fund.
Extremely, they say, there are rumors ranging from the city's eastern district (a so-called slum where the poor gather) to grabbing people and selling them off to other countries as slaves.
I don't really let him grab his tail, but as for Mr. Tristan, he even said it was a ten to eighty-nine fact.
"Rubanovism, which speaks of the supremacy of the human race, does not say that beasts, elves and dwarves are, as a matter of course, inferior to the human race in this country. But, you know, doctrine like that doesn't familiarize us with this country where we all live together in the first place. In that evidence, there are very few followers of Lubanov religion in this city."
They say the followers of Lubanov in this city are occupied by those who have flown almost from other countries.
And a small number.
"Still, I can't forgive the fact that Lubanov doctrines of human supremacy are vociferously hustled up in this country."
Mr. Tristan affirms that in a strong tone of anger that does not seem to
"Um, Mr. Tristan?
"Oh, excuse me. It got hot on me. Actually, my grandfather Hii is the Dwarf. He died the year before I was grown up, though. He was a relentless yell at the strong, half-work guy, but he was a sweet grandpa to me."
You remember that Dwarf's grandfather, and Mr. Tristan's expression is soothing.
"Rubanov seemed to defile that sweet grandfather, and I couldn't stand it."
I say that again with a bitter face, Mr. Tristan.
I see.
Was there a dwarf inside?
Then don't even know how Mr. Tristan feels.
I don't have that kind of body. So the Lubanov doctrine just has to twist my eyebrows. And hey.
Naturally, it's a decision without a bull 's-eye for Lubanovism, isn't it?
Or there's no way.
You'd still be better off dumping it in the Dove as much as you would for this denomination.
"Very helpful"
"Really, good. to Lubanov..."
"Haha, naturally I won't. You don't know what it's used for."
"I was relieved to hear that"
"I have one more question to ask..."
โ โ โ โ โ
We were walking down the main street of the city of Brixte.
Though there are still people who look at Grandpa Gong and get gnawed at him, just as Grandpa Gong's presence seemed to be largely pervasive and didn't even make a scene.
It's just that when we go by, the hedgerows crack.
I don't know if I should reopen it if it's easy to walk...
"Lord, Lord, we want that meat over there."
'No, doesn't that smell better over there?
"Uh, this simmer looks better."
"There's no sui, I'd love to try it all."
"'You've got that hand,'"
Looking at the many stalls out there, I want to eat that one. Fell, Grandpa Gong, Dora, and Sui's Eater Cartel making a scene about wanting to eat this.
"Ha, you know, I'm not here for your buying and eating."
"'' I know, I know. '"
Everyone replies back in good shape in a nutshell.
"Well, I guess everyone's following you for that. Come on."
You followed me after gathering information at the Adventurer Guild, and then telling me that if I told you to go shopping for a bit, we'd all go.
I came to the mall to buy souvenirs for everyone waiting at Carrerina's house.
Whatever you do, I'll take care of the deal with Mr. Lambert and everything about the house.
It's a good opportunity for me to tour this city (how sad I only dived in a dungeon in this city), and it's a good distraction to look around a lot of shopping districts.
That said, it's best to ask the locals about shops that look good.
I've already researched the recommended store for Mr. Tristan.
"Right here. What's Mr. Tristan's recommendation?"
I talked to Mr. Tristan and he told me that he would still like jewellery to make it a souvenir of this city.
Whatever you say, the dungeons here in Brixt are specialties of gems and precious metals.
That's where they told me what they recommend in a store that can pick up affordable jewelry that's not too fancy.
It's a decent shop, so Fells decided to wait outside, and I'm the only one in the store.
"Welcome"
The shop owner, in his forties or so, who felt soft, greeted me with a smile.
"Looking for something?
"Um, I was looking for a souvenir..."
"Hmm. Are they lovers?
"No......"
Huh, I haven't had a lover in a long time.
Sadly.
"Uh, they're not slaves, do you call them family-like employees"
"Ho, a souvenir for a slave means your slave is happy."
"I'd be glad if you thought so."
"How much for your budget?
"Uh, one gold coin to one gold coin and five silver coins, I think."
"Well, that's..."
The shopkeeper seems a little surprised that he has such a cool forehead for slaves, but he also earned money, well, that's about it.
All I had to do was talk to the store owner and decide what was right for my budget.
And I decided...
Celia and Lotte's girls have a hair fastening with a pink gem called Rose Quartz and a transparent green gem called Prenite.
They both look good for both of us in pale cute shades, and I think they'll be happy.
Aiya and Theresea, as well as the adult women's group in Tabatha, have brooches with purple, green, red and dark eyed shades of gems: amethyst, peridot and garnet.
Can Tabatha wear a brooch? I also thought that sometimes it would be a stylish date because people seemed to be able to think about it.
Good luck, Peter.
And to the boys & men of Kosty, Oliver, Aerik, Toni, Alban, Luke, Irvin, Peter, Bartel, a buckle on the belt with the gems as one point.
Honestly, I was worried about what would be good for the men, but as soon as I talked to the store owner, I solved it.
He showed me a buckle with a subtle one-point of dark colored gemstones when it was also a popular item for men, and I thought this was it, and decided to buckle the souvenirs for the men.
It looks pretty good using gems that are uncomfortable even when worn by the men in dark shades such as lapis lazuli, hissy, onyx, etc.
Truth be told, I liked it myself and bought a buckle for myself with a hint of hisui just a little bigger than everyone's souvenir.
I have money. Sometimes it's good.
I gave them twenty gold coins (including more for that because they were also consulted) for various expenses, and they wrapped the souvenirs and left the store behind. | ใใญใใๅใฎ่ฒทใๅใใ็ตใใใ็ฟๆฅใฏใใฃใใใจไผใฟใซใ

Outside the store, Fell, Grandpa Gong, Dora and Sui were waiting.
"It's finally over, Lord."
"It's our turn to hang out next."
"This city is huge, so there's a lot of stalls to see."
"Sui, eat a lot -!
"Huh? No, hey, I'm not here for a walk."
"Fine, fine."
"What's good because it's okay, Grandpa Gong? Don't push it."
"First of all, as we discussed earlier, we're going to that store."
"That store? Fell, what store are you talking about?
"Come on, can this city stall satisfy us?
"Hey, Dora, how gourmet are you?
"Ryuji, go eat meat ~"
"No, Sui, I'm not here for meat"
"'' Fine, fine '' '
Afterwards, it was me who was attached to the street tour of Brixte the Eater Cartel until sundown. | ๅบใฎๅคใงใฏใใงใซใใดใณ็บใใใฉใกใใใในใคใๅพ

The first camp out of the city of Lawsendar.
I had also finished dinner earlier this day and decided to offer my usual offering to Master Demiurgos.
As usual, it's a set of a few sakes and a premium can.
"I'm always sorry."
"No."
Ma, this is like insurance, too.
"I'm so sorry that I put so much effort into their minds and your Lord's."
"It's okay. I also got the Ninrir once a month, so I can afford it, and since Demiurgos likes sake, it won't take that long because they let me choose around it."
Master Demiurgos is basically up to you, and it's not that much trouble because I choose rankings and recommendations as a basis.
'I'm glad you said that, but then I don't feel comfortable with you........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Surely your lords have left the city of Lawsendar?
"Yes, it is..."
'Right or right. Then maybe it's just fine. The Iron Rule is that God doesn't interfere too much in the lower realm, but that's about it. "
Hmm? What do you mean?
There's a mountain nearby, isn't there?
Speaking of which, you looked on the left hand side of the street.
"You should go to that mountain."
"Huh? Is there something in that mountain?
'Well, that's a pleasure to go to. Probably noticed around Fenrill. Bye.'
"Ah! Master Demiurgos!
I tried calling a few more times after that but didn't get back to me.
"What do you want me to do to get to that mountain?
โ โ โ โ โ
"That's what they said."
Over breakfast, I told Master Demiurgos what he told me yesterday.
By the way, the Fells have been puffed with ginger roasted bowls since morning.
Exactly, I was reluctant to get some crazy rice balls, tall vegetable rice balls, and instant miso soup I bought from an online supermarket.
"I didn't know God was going to go to that mountain. Interesting...... Instead '
I'll put a large bowl of ginger roasted in front of Fell's fifth replacement voice.
"There you go. I don't know what's in that mountain, but God wants me to go. I have to go."
'But I have that one in that mountain. Me too. "
Don't eat too much this morning, Dora.
I placed my third bowl of replacement in front of Dora.
"Dora, do you know about that mountain?
'Well. It was a long time ago, but you accidentally came in. I've had a terrible time.'
That's what Dora said as she disappointed in her bowl of change.
"Taruji, Sui is also in charge"
Do you want a swim next time?
I also placed my fifth bowl of replacement before Sui, just like Fel.
"Terrible eyes?
'Oh. There's nothing like losing one-on-one,' cause there's only so many of them. And I'm so persistent. They chased me around a long time ago. I was upset, so I did everything I could to spare him the ice magic. "
There are a lot of disturbing words out there.
You think they're just a lot or persistent?
I wonder what Dora is referring to?
Besides, wouldn't it suck if Dora let go of all the ice magic she could do?
"I skewered him with ice for more than half of the guys I've been chasing, so I finally stopped chasing him around without fear!
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"What, has Dora ever worked with them, too?"
Fell, too?
"Uh-huh. But Dora's right. They're a lot of people. Yeah, they're smart. I don't care who you are, but I had no trouble dealing with you alone."
'Yes, he was so numerous, so persistent and so cunning! Even then, people threw stones at me. "
Yea, what's with the stone thrown?
'But this time, I'm not the only one. There are also Dora and Sui. I'm worried about the dungeon of difficulty, but I can't ignore the temple. Kukukuku, it's interesting to remind them as we head to the mountains. "
"Whoa, I got on with that story! Even I've been badly hit by them. It's payback!
Something looks wrong with Fell.
Besides, Dora, you did skewers with ice magic, didn't you get enough revenge?
I don't know...
"What are you talking about, Fell and Dora, just now?
"It's about Black Baboon."
"That. The Black Baboon Monster Thing."
Black baboon?
When I say baboon......, is that Hihi's demon?
Demons? Fight?
'That's right. We'll fight. Of course we'll win.'
"Ha ha, naturally!
"Yatter! Sweet! Kill him!"
Fell, Dora and Sui are already willing to fuck (kill).
But is it because you only have a bad feeling about it?
"But I don't have a choice not to go. Anyway, Master Demiurgos told me straight away..."
Hmm.
"Okay, we had breakfast, and we're on our way."
"Whoa, let's go!
"Yippa, knock it down!
"Hey, hey, wait a minute. Why are you suddenly trying to go? I have to clean up."
"Mmm, just do it"
"I'll do it, but you don't have to go right away."
'What are you talking about? It's a trust. What if I don't do it right away?'
'That's right, let's get to the mountains!' Cause I'm gonna let them call me Gaffoon. '
"Runway, let's go to the mountains."
No. Shit.
Everybody's in full combat mode.
It doesn't work for everyone who's done this.
Can't help it, head to the mountains? | ใญใผใปใณใใผใซใฎ่กใๅบใฆๆๅใฎ้ๅถใ
