28 [22] Urgent request.txt (1/2)

Humannon's Kingdom - the Castle and the King's Chamber.

-This is what I was told in Farren about the abomination. I apologize to you all for being so upset about my behavior that I did not honor my enduring relationship with this spirit animal. I will accept any and all punishment that may befall me.

Kneeling in front of the throne and speaking is Bazelard, a diplomat who has come to the city of Farren.

After hearing Bazelard's story, the heavyweights of the Humane Kingdom begin to buzz in unison.

''Nonsense..., does that mean that Abomination Child was just a person with a lot of magical power?''

”A spirit animal? Wasn't it only in the legends?

Vast amounts of magic. That's what caused the Annihilation.

Even if the heavyweights were skeptical, the fact that Bazelard, who has sworn absolute allegiance to the kingdom, is talking seriously forces them to believe the story.

''Hmm, Bazelard.''

Ha!

A man of mature years sits on a throne.

He is Zeldia-Humanio, the king who rules the Humane Kingdom.

He calls for Bazelard, and as soon as his voice is uttered, the murmur of the heavyweights disappears in an instant.

''The matter of the spirit beast is indeed regrettable, but that would have been the same result for anyone here. ''No matter, it's a non-issue.''

Yes, I'm sorry, sir.

Bazelard was willing to accept the death penalty even if he was seriously sentenced to death.

That's how thick his loyalty is to the current king.

A spirit beast that has been passed down only as a legend.

The blunder of missing out on an opportunity to obtain that power is not something that an ordinary person can forgive.

The current king's ability to easily disregard the question must be quite impressive.

''More importantly, that abomination, did you say it was Virum? Is it possible to bring that man to our country?

'I'm afraid, sir, that a certain one is too bad for my heart when we meet. I think it would be better to have someone else stand in for the negotiations.

Hmm, okay.

One of the heavyweights raises his hand as he looks at the king, who has meditated and thought out a plan as he rests his back on the throne.

''Your Majesty, I have an idea.''

I'll make a request.

The king reacted instantly to the voice and urged him to continue.

I'm sure that this is the right thing for a politician to do, not to impose his own ideas, but to take in the opinions of those around him.

I've been told by Bazelade that Virum is an adventurer. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

Hmm, good idea. ”Well, that's a good idea. If you are the bodyguard of one of our country's most important men, you can invite him into the castle without raising any suspicion. Now, as to who to send to Farren as a bodyguard...

The meeting of the king and other heavyweights inviting the abomination (Vilm) will continue for a while.

I'm sure you're not the only one. Hmm, that sounds interesting.

No one noticed that someone had been listening to the meeting in secret.

At Farren's Adventurer's Guild, Virum and the others who had come to report the completion of the request were attracting no small amount of attention.

''Yes, we have confirmed the completion of your request. Congratulations! As of today, Virum-san and Cunaria-san will be promoted to the rank of D.

Celica, who has become completely accustomed to being treated as the exclusive receptionist for Virum and the others, happily tells them of her rank promotion.

For a beginner (E rank) who just registered with the Adventurer's Guild the other day, her promotion speed is probably fast.

However, that's not what the people around me are paying attention to.

''No~ The requests that Virum-san and the others have received, not to mention the achievement rate, are of high quality and the clients are very satisfied~. Starting with Madame Sonotta, there are already a few people who want to ask for your help by name.
