21 Visit of the brave (1/2)

Black haired wise man Chiyuki

The Kingdom of Rox is a kingdom located about two days' journey by carriage from the Republic of St. Renaria. It is located in the eastern part of the continent, on the path of the Central Great Road, and has a good amount of traffic.

The ruler of the kingdom is King Roklos VIII, with a population of about 30,000.

If that's all there is to it, it could be said to be a common country in this world.

However, the Kingdom of Rox has two features that no other country has.

One is that this country has hot springs. Many tourists come to the country for its hot springs. We are here, ostensibly, to be cured by the hot springs.

The second reason is the presence of the Silver Holy Dragon King, who lives in the nearby Holy Dragon Mountain. Originally, the Kingdom of Rox was founded when the first King of Rox made a pact with the Silver Holy Dragon and was allowed to establish a kingdom in this land.

Today is the anniversary of the founding of the Kingdom of Rox. Today is a week-long festival in the Kingdom of Rox. During this period, bathing and lodging in the country's hot springs and inns will be half-price, and entry into the country will be free. That's why many people come to this country. There are far more people than the last time I came to this country.

This is the second time to come to this country. We have been here before because it is said that there is a country where there are hot springs.

The word ”hot spring” has an inexplicable attraction for us Japanese. It must have been a little over a month ago when we interrupted our defeat of the Demon King to go to the Roxx Kingdom for a hot spring cure.

I was able to defeat a demon called Striges, and also release a spell at someone who tried to watch us bathe, which warped and broke down the city walls.

I hadn't realized that there was a dragon called the Holy Dragon King when I was here before. The fact that it didn't even get caught by Nao's object detection suggests that it must have been warded in some way.

If there is such a dragon, I'd like to meet it.

The silver holy dragon king is a white dragon that brings good luck. It looks just like the dragon in Ende's novel.

The real purpose of our visit to Roxx Kingdom was to find the horn of the holy dragon king.

I want you to stop the Dark Knight Dihardt from obtaining the Holy Dragon King's Horn. We were puzzled by Raina's sudden request.

Rage's wounds were almost healed by Sahoko's magic and the secret medicine of the Medical God.

But even though Rage has recovered, Dihardt is still strong. He wanted to avoid the fight as much as possible.

However, as usual, Rage is willing to do what Raina asks of him. If it were just Rage alone, you might face the same near-death experience as last time.

I'd like you to think a little bit about the people around you. I don't want Sahoko or Shirone to cry again.

That's why I deliberately moved slowly.

However, it seems that Dihardt still hasn't gotten his hands on the Holy Dragon King's Horn. The bell given to me by Raina hadn't rung yet.

It seems that Raina and the angels under her command have set up an alarm system around the Holy Dragon Mountain similar to the one in Raina's temple, and if someone breaks into the strung up alarm system, this bell will ring.

And in the end, the bell didn't ring, and we got there in time.

How did Raina know about Dihardt's actions in the first place? Do they have a spy in Nargol?

Also, why would the Dark Knight target the horn of the Holy Dragon King?

Well, I don't know what he's up to, but as far as I'm concerned, he's going to take the horn of the Dragon King, the White Dragon of Holy Fortune, and that's not a good thing.

We pass through the gates of Rox's walls and onto Rox's main road.

You can only enter by carriage as far as the gate and leave your carriage with the guards. From here it's a walk to Rox's castle.

As we start to walk, we feel a lot of eyes on us. They are quite unpleasant eyes. Many people are gathering around to get a good look at us. Most of them are men.

The knights of the temple, who came from the Republic of St. Renaria to escort us, chase away the men in the street to let us pass. Unlike last time, I was right to bring my guards with me.

It's a little rough, but it's just enough to get rid of people.

''Ugh, Chiyuki-san ...... I'm still embarrassed ......''

Silone, exposed to the same disgusting gaze as I was, makes a sound like she's about to cry.

'Don't tell me, ....... I've been trying not to think about it.'

Look at Cyrone, I think she's dressed amazingly well. It's almost the same as in her underwear. It's what's called bikini armor. It looks good on the well-balanced Sirone. It's a good idea to have a bikini suit.

But when it comes to the way you dress, I can't speak for others either. My current outfit is a black gothic loli with a superb mini-skirt. I have to be careful about my behavior because if I bend over just a little bit, I'm afraid my underwear will be visible.

The reason why she is dressed in such an embarrassing outfit is to lure the pervert who attacked Kyouka.

The Dark Knight Dihardt destroyed the tools of summoning and we were unable to return to our original world. The fact that we can't go back makes us feel a little downhearted.

No matter how great the amusement park is, if we can't get out of it and can't go home, the amusement park won't be fun anymore. That's exactly what's happening now.

But there's still hope of returning to the world back home. There must be someone else who has the tools to summon them besides Raina. Because the pervert who attacked Kyouka seems to be from the same world as us. In other words, there is someone else who can perform the summoning besides Reena. We need to find that person.

And the first step was to catch the pervert who attacked Kyouka.

That pervert went after Kyouka's breasts. He must like women's breasts.

So they all decided to wear embarrassing clothes that emphasized their breasts and try to lure the pervert in.

At first, Kyoka was supposed to be the only decoy, but it started when Kyoka protested, and also when Rage started saying that we should all take all possible precautions and do it together, since other breasts besides Kyoka's might come in.

Because of this, not only me and Shirone, but also the other girls had to dress very embarrassingly.

We're dressed like this all the time when we go out. It's the same outside of the St. Renaria Republic as well.

By the way, the outfit we're wearing was brought by Rage. The reason why the chest as well as other parts of the body are uncovered is because Rage says that this is to increase the chances of perverts coming to you.

I can only assume that he has an ulterior motive by any stretch of the imagination, but he has no clue about the perverts and couldn't think of any other effective way to lure them away, so he is forced to dress like this.

Surely the perverts would come in droves. In fact, as we walked around the city, the number of men coming up to us seemed to have tripled.

But the perverts we were after still haven't shown up.

Since we started dressing like this, the temple has tripled our guards. They have accompanied us to this Rox Kingdom. So far, the men who come to us are blocked by those guards. Any deviant who is more than equal to Kaya would not be afraid of his guards. That's how we know he hasn't shown up yet.

If he does, I want him to show up, and I want it to be soon. How long will we have to dress like this?

This outfit will be a hindrance when fighting, but if you're dealing with the demons and people out there, even if it's Dihardt, it's easy to win, and the original armament can be called up at any time with magic, so it won't be that dangerous.

I look at the other outfits besides Syrone.

First of all, Nao is wearing a miniature china dress with a nekomimi. The slit in the dress makes Nao's slender legs stand out, and it looks good on her. Rage handed me a cat tail in addition to the nekomimi, but Nao didn't know how to put it on and asked me for advice.

I didn't know how to wear it either, so I asked him about it, and he told me that the tails were a dubious accessory to put in a strange place. When I heard that, I naturally burned it in silence. Rage looked a little sad, but he didn't know that.

That's why Nao was dressed only as a nekomimi.

But still, what's up with this kind of costume, why does Rage have such a weird thing? I want to punch the guy who made it with Rage.

Reno's outfit is a cheerleader. It looks good on the lovely Reno. In Reno's case, she usually wears revealing clothes, so it doesn't change much.

Just because she is a model, she wears such an embarrassing outfit without any hesitation.

At first, Rage tried to dress Reno as just a ribbon wrapped around him, but it was impossible, so I made him stop. I really don't know what he was thinking. ......

Kyoka is dressed as a dancer. I've got the most flamboyantly dressed for the perpetrators to come by.

It is natural that the perverts originally came after Kyouka.

Kyouka is the most stylish of them all, and the clothes that accentuate her ample breasts and nubile hips are sure to attract the eyes of the men of the world.

Aside from what's on the inside, the style is a bit enviable, even for women.

Kyouka was reluctant to wear that outfit at first, but when Reige persuaded her to do so, she reluctantly agreed. Even though they are brother and sister, they have a more old-fashioned approach to s*x than Rage. She doesn't want to wear clothes that are too revealing. However, he wears flashy swimsuits, so the standard for that is unknown.

Kaya's outfit is a miniature maid's uniform. Kaya was originally a servant at Kyoka's house and usually wore a maid's uniform, so the way she dressed is quite impressive. The white knee socks underneath the mini-skirt accentuate the beauty of her legs.

However, it seems that Rage tried to get her to dress more revealingly, but she was unable to resist Kaya's silent pressure. I wish I could be like that.

But why is Kaya following Kyouka anyway? The relationship between Kyouka and Kaya remains the same even after coming to this world, and it's very hard to believe that they are just servants. Perhaps there is something going on. However, it's a situation in a different house, so I couldn't just ask.

Lastly, Sahoko, Sahoko is dressed as a white bunny girl. The dress is made to emphasize her breasts, and it would be a problem for Sahoko, who has the largest breasts, to wear it.

Sahoko is a little chubby, so her style is not as good as Kyouka's, but it's still enough to attract the attention of men. Some people might say that Sahoko is more desirable than Kyouka, but it's still enough to attract men's attention.

She is dressed in a rather embarrassing outfit, with a high-legged, cheap-birth-type butt. He is about to cry too. The fabric is white, and parts that should not be visible can be seen through it, but they are faintly visible. I can't show it in public. I would never wear it. However, Sahoko is reluctantly wearing the outfit because she won't refuse Reige's request.

My gaze hurts from a while ago. If the knights in the temple don't escort me to prevent strange people from coming near me, I'd be too embarrassed to blow up the men watching me with explosive magic (Explosions).

We shyly make our way to the Royal Palace of Roxx. First of all, we will have an audience with the king of this country.

I heard that it's customary to greet the king when an important person from another country visits the country. We have already informed them of our arrival.

It is not that we don't think of ourselves as important people, but we can't help but be lifted up by others.

Besides, they are bringing in knights from other countries without permission. It was necessary to get permission just in case.

The knights who are guarding us now are those that the temple has put on us on its own. They are not so much to protect us as they are to prevent us from using our power. Because some of our actions could hurt the goddess Raina. I honestly think it's rude, but I can't say anything about it because of Rage's series of actions and Kyouka's destruction of the city with magic.

Apparently the knights of the Temple of Raina are not particularly moved by seeing us, since it is a requirement to pledge their love to the goddess Raina to become a temple knight. It's not that they don't want to be seen, but there are times when they feel a little frustrated. Well, it's true that we're in a bad position with that Raina as an opponent.

But this time, Raina and her men will be on the move as well. It's time for them to join the fight, not just us. I've heard that Raina and her men are waiting near Roxx's kingdom, but is it true?

We arrive at the Royal Palace of Rox. The Royal Palace of Rox is only about a third of the size of the political office of the Republic of St. Renaria.

Apparently it's still a large place, but it looks small to me, living in the Temple of Lena, which is much larger than the government offices of St. Renaria. It's a country with a population of about 30,000, so this might be just fine.

''I'm glad you came. Brave Rage-sama and his wife.

When you enter the royal palace, you are greeted by King Roxx.

Probably having learned his lesson from the last time, King Roxx's attitude is towards someone higher than himself. Rage also has the same impertinent attitude in front of the king.

''Yeah, I'll be in your debt again,''

Rage says with a laugh. Rage's attitude like this is causing trouble in many places, and I hope he'll pull himself together a bit.

But there's no way Rage is going to change his attitude.

Rage is a selfish man who thinks he's the most noble man in the world. He probably won't change his attitude even in front of the God King.

And there's nothing anyone can do to change that attitude. For as long as I can remember, Rage has beaten up opponents who have come at him in rebellion, both in the previous world and in this one.

At some point in time, in a country called Argoa or something like that, he destroyed the armies of the king who had opposed him in opposition to the Rage.

After that, I heard there was a coup d'état in the Kingdom of Argoa, but maybe Rage was the cause. In fact, if it was Rage's power, it would be easy to destroy even the king of one country. If you want to get things done quietly, it's better to go out of the way, so it's the right thing for King Rox to do to bow to Rage.

This is the second time I've met King Rox. Doesn't he look a little more jaded than before?

Next to King Roxx is the princess of this country, Alumina. This is the second time I've seen her, I wonder if things are going well with her fiancé, the knight.

It's a good time to see you, Alumina. How are you doing?

Naturally, Rage does not change his attitude, even in front of the princess of a country. It is a very familiar attitude.

There should be another prince, but he's not here. You will be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you.

'Yes Rage-sama. Alumina was fine.''

Alumina looks at Rage. It's a look of love.

Her father and brother are being treated badly by Rage, and yet Alumina is full of joy. Is her fiancé good?

Rage has a very good face, regardless of what's inside. This is why many women are attracted to him. Besides, Rage is strict with men but kind to women. He is kind to any girl and does not refuse those who come to him.

In the Republic of St. Renaria, girls who are fans of Rage are always flocking to the Temple of Raina. If it wasn't for the demons, they would have followed us to this Roxx Kingdom.

Rage and Alumina are exchanging heated glances. When I look to the side, I see Reno and Kyouka looking unhappy. Sahoko looks a little sad. Shironet and Kaya are unconcerned. Nao doesn't seem interested. It's always like this when Rage talks to girls other than himself. I'm used to it.

But for me, it's an everyday scene, but not for Alumina. She's on the verge of tears as Reno and Kyouka stare at her. Maybe I should give them a little help.

As I'm thinking about it, one man comes out.

It seems that someone else wanted to do something about this atmosphere besides me.

I look at the man who came out. He was the prime minister of this country, I believe.

'Um, it's about Rage-sama's lodging: ....... It was an urgent visit for some reason. ......

It was the day before yesterday that we heard from Raina. Then we contacted them, so with the speed of a fast horse in this world they should have known yesterday that we were coming. Perhaps they were not ready to receive us in time. His face is pale, as if he's displeased with Rage.

Then he looks behind him. The temple knights who had followed to escort us were lining up. Including them, it's quite a large group. We won't be able to welcome them all.

''I have no problem with that.''

Kaya comes forward, perhaps sensing something from the Prime Minister's attitude.

''Ah, you are Kaya-sama!

The Prime Minister is surprised to see Kaya. Didn't he notice Kaya in Rage's shadow?

''It's been two weeks since I've seen you, Prime Minister.

Did Kaya meet with the Prime Minister two weeks ago? His words startled everyone except Kaya.

'Don't worry. I've made arrangements for your accommodations and other matters.

Kaya smiled a little.

We then moved to a mansion a short distance away from Rox's royal palace.

''We've been expecting you, young lady.

Three girls in maids greet us and bow to us.

This mansion is a villa that Kaya bought.

And the girls are Kaya's men.

In fact, Kaya had dabbled in commerce while we were away on our adventures, and without us knowing it, she had become very wealthy.

Of course, Kaya dabbled in commerce and made a lot of money because of Kyoka, so it would be more accurate to say that Kyoka became a millionaire than Kaya became a millionaire.

Kaya's ability to become so rich in just two months was astonishing, but Kaya said that she used the name of the hero to make money through means that she couldn't use in her original world.

For what it's worth, Kaya didn't pay any taxes in her business.

The government office of the St. Renaria Republic couldn't take taxes from the brave sister, and they didn't let her take taxes in other countries by flicking the name of the brave man. In other words, they would only benefit from the income they received. That's how you become rich. It seems that he used other slightly cheating means to make a rough profit.

Nowadays, there are large mansions built for Kyouka in the St. Renaria Republic.

And Kaya bought a villa two weeks ago in Rox, a country with hot springs. Kaya has bought properties in other countries as well, and this house in Rox seems to be one of them.

It seems that he met the prime minister of this country when he bought this house. Originally, the hot springs that come out of this country were the exclusive property of this Lox royal family, and no one else was supposed to be allowed to have them. Kaya seems to have twisted it forcibly.

When I imagine that time, I feel sorry for the Prime Minister, but thanks to that, I got a villa with a hot spring, so it's good.

This house was originally one of the hot spring facilities in this country, but Kaya bought it two weeks ago and renovated it into a mansion.

It's still in the process of being renovated, but we and our guards were able to stay here. I'm relieved to finally be free of this costume.

A maid shows us around the house.

This maid is one of the girls that Kaya had under her command in the St. Renaria Republic. Kaya also has another girl as a maid of honor in the St. Renaria Republic who is a highlight. Apparently there's no shortage of girls who apply for the maid position because they can be close to Rage. Kaya selects the best of them to be her maids. The criteria for selection are a certain level of appearance and ability.

The girl who is guiding me now is one of them.

It seems that the chosen girl is trained by Kaya and her senior maids, and this maid is also well trained in etiquette.

After changing in the room you were led to, everyone gathers in the same room. Everyone has changed and is now dressed normally. Rage looks a bit disappointed. I don't know.

'Well, let's talk about the future.

There are no guards or maids in the room, just us from another world. We were going to start our meeting now, so I paid the man off.

''First of all, was there anyone suspicious?''

I asked, and a few of them nodded.

'They were all suspicious, as usual.

Reno says. But I don't care who Reno says is suspicious, because that's always the case.

Ignore those unimportant people: ......

I can't deal with people like that.

”Nao. What about you?

Nao has the highest sensing ability of all.

She can sense objects, magic, enemies, and poison.

Reiji, Shirohane, and Kaya can use object detection, Kyoka and I can use magic power, and Shirohane and Kaya can use enemy detection.

And Nao has the ability to sense all four of them.

I'm better at detecting magic, but out of the four, Nao is the best at detecting other objects and enemies.

If Nao can't find anyone suspicious, then no one else will.

'There were a lot of suspicious guys, but none of them were particularly suspicious as you say, Chiyuki-san.

Nao said she felt hostility and such, but she didn't have to pay any attention to it with the usual Rage fan girl hostility, and the guy's gaze was the usual thing, so it didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

''So, next, about Dihardt: ......

Everyone's expression changes when I mention the name.

It's only natural. This is the one who defeated that Rage and who was no match for Sirone. He's the most dangerous being to us right now.

And the true purpose of coming to the Kingdom of Roxx is to prevent Dihardt's objective.

And that goal is to get the horn of the Holy Dragon King. I don't know what he'll use it for. It could be very dangerous for this world.
