Chapter 261 (1/2)
12-14 The King and Nanashi+
Satou's here Looks like there's a genre [Misunderstanding] in onist is ets rolled up in the maelstrom of trouble, there's a lot of story like that
I' of the day the monster showed up in the Royal Capital
They exaggeratedly praised -head dee called Duke Mitsukuni or so
Duke Mitsukuni house see Yaeneration, at that ti social reform
Looks like Duke Mitsukuni peerage was still conferred until after the fourth generation King had retired, but there was soe anymore
I ended up hearing so anecdote thanks to this, but since I wasn't interested with peerage and whatnot, I appropriately declined it
The king seee, this tiion of the kingdom
Blue Territory seems to be the place where seven cities were sacrificed in order for the Wild-boar King to destroy Furu Empire
At the west of the Trade City and the South of Labyrinth City, there's the sea of trees where the cities are sleeping, it has become the den of monsters now
In the past theyarainst the overflowing monsters from the sea of tree and had to evacuated as the result
Nanashi+ should be able to easily drive off thethem off permanently seems quite laborious
I'ement and administration
I often played city-building games, but in real world there are tooto refrain from it
Thus, I declined lightly, but the King and the Prime Minister openly looked disappointed
They probably wanted me, who have the power to defeat demon lords, to recapture the cities with that power
After a little bit of idle talk, I get to the primary objective
“Your Majesty, I received so in the Royal Capital see”
I actually encountered one myself, but let's make this a second-hand story
“As expected of Nanashi+-sama You're quick to know Prime Minister”
“Yes Please let antic monsters appearances in the metropolis area for the past several days now Every round, and after destroying the buildings and people on the area they appeared, they disappeared into underground”
So it really caround
“There have been seven sighting reports up until now, but there are only two cases where the monsters were able to be killed before they could escape; one hen a shi+ga Eight Sword, Lord Ryouna made it in time, and the other hen some Mithril explorers happened to meet one by chance”
Ryouna was that six-packs aht The explorers should be about us
I tried checking the round
According to the report, all seven monsters had red rope-like pattern It wasn't only insect-type monsters, there were also rat-type monsters
“Did you try to pursue the fleeing monsters?”
“Yes, e dispatched the Royal Capital soldiers to search underground, they found the remains of the aforementioned monsters There were three monsters that had died from debilitation, one froic”
“Decomposition and debilitation?”
Leaving aside the killed monster, were the four others died by themselves?
Ga Hou the orc from Duchy Capital did say to me that there were other orcs in the Royal Capital, so they round monsters
“We had the Royal Research Institute to study the et any useful information”
“Then I'll tell you one I have an acquaintance with appraisal skill in the Royal Capital, and that acquaintance confiric Body Bestowal』 state when they saw the monster”
“『Magic Body Bestowal』 is it?–It cannot be”
Prime Minister-san see too, he's at a loss of words while looking bitter
He probably recalled the illicitincident in the Labyrinth City from before
Marquis Kelton as the pri the influence of his faction if I'm not mistaken
Afterwards, I found out about a deht of Liberty] that was trying to sdom
“Pri?”
“Yes, the Royal Research Institute was responsible for the disposal”
“Did you hear what kind of ?”
“No, I had instructed theain, but I did not hear about the detail”
Well, that's normal
The Prime Minister probably doesn't have much free time
“Perhaps they dissolved the fiend drug with soe?”
Orit
Prime Minister-san's eyebroitched when he heard me
His face looks slightly pale but he's controlling hiood
“I will sue immediately”
Pri
“Hey, Your Majesty Is there any docu?”
“There is The Royal Research Institute borrowed it once, but besides that time, it is stored in the Forbidden Library below royal castle”
Is it alright to lend a book outside from the forbidden library?
Well, it probably has low secret content
“There's so I want to look up you see, won't you permit me to enter that forbidden library please?”
“What cold things are Nanashi+-sa This castle is Nanashi+-sao in and out any place you want”
No no, that rule is too sloppy
The King guides h the private area of the royalties, to the forbidden library
The forbidden library is located besides the treasure rooic is installed on the place that leads to both
The gatekeeper knights are level late 30s ient and steadfast
Even though I', they askthe rule
I show the face ate
The corridor splits to the treasure rooh, we continue the corridor that goes to the library
The King is a good walker since he was a holy knight in his youth, but I feel bad letting an old e, ic Hand
We passed through 13 gates before we got to the forbidden library, but the gatekeepers of the third gate and beyond were not hu armors
The gates were placed at fixed intervals in the corridor, showing the importance of the forbidden library beyond this
After passing a double-layered door that seemed to be a barrier, we finally entered the forbidden library
It smells of papers The inside is dark, and it seems they've set the temperature and hu books
When the King holds up ais lit
We get pass the entrance hall, and coh as the ceiling
I check the map, there's only one reader, the others aren't librarians, but around twenty work gole dolls
“I ondering who it was, so it's Your Majesty”
“Uood health? You're a bookwor party”
“Yes, luckily, the e proposal to Earl Lesseu returned with a blank paper”
The one talking to the King is the Sixth Princess She's 18 years old, a year younger than Lady Karina
Her hair is a bit brownish and black up, she's wearing a neat tiara
Earl Lesseu is probably the young lord-san that ca in the idle talk before
