Jikuu Mahou chapter 426: Seiji´s Intervention
The company feels long after Monday.
Last week there was so much on Dreados kingdom"s side, so I have to change my mind to work properly.
However, today, with just a few appearances at the company, I immediately went out and headed for the Jewelry Nancy store in Ginza. This is to make a final check of the delivered system.
With magic, I have confirmed that there are no bugs and there have been no problems with the tests so far, and so it should be fine.
『Good morning Nancy. I"m pleased to meet you, today』
『Seiji, you´re fine』
I met Nancy, who made tea and tea sweets. I"m at work, though!
A lot of people are moving around like Nancy"s just around the opening of the store. Nancy is the store manager, may there be someone else?
『By the way, where"s your mom?』
『My mum is jumping around here and there.』
Well, I think her mom is busy as president of the main store in various ways.
「Oh, Maruyama!」
「Ah, Seiji-san」
Megumi-chan and Rinko-chan came to find me. Did those two also come? Both of them have not been seen for a while.
「Hey Maruyama. Come to me first, if you"re here!」
Megumi-chan is as usual.
「Megumi-chan. I"m here today for Nancy-san"s office」
「Ah, you were here on that matter」
「Seiji-san. Yesterday, Aya-san asked me to design various jewelry accessories, but is that really a real jewelry story?」
Aya, did she contact Rinko again with the story from yesterday?
「I"m sorry to ask a professional designer. The jewels are real.」
「The designs of jewelry Nancy are unique, so it"s totally fine. So many gems, amazing!」
「Hey Maruyama. What is a real gem!?」
Megumi-chan broke in from the side.
「Seiji-san, can I see the photos sent by Aya-chan?」
「Ye, Yes」
「Wa～. Maruyama! Give me one too! My grandfather will pay the money.」
Well, it"s a pick-up, and I"m not going to get money.
『Seiji. Don"t buy the accessory shop"s staff with jewelry』
『Nancy, don"t say bad things to me. I"m not buying it』
Perhaps Nancy misses not getting it alone? But just as Nancy says, it"s also about giving jewelry to the store manager of an accessory store.
Pikon! I came up with a good thing.
『Let"s give this [Power stone] to Nancy』
『Power Stone?』
『This is a thriving business...... a stone with a profit』
It"s a magic stone that I got from the sunrise tower, but it looks like a gem, and it"s fine. I handed [The business prosperous magic stone] to Nancy.
『Is this an item of j.a.panese Shinto?』
『No. But I will guarantee the effect』
『Thank you! It looks similar to a gem like the Nullpo stone』
All three were happy, and it was good. What? I, what did I come to do?
----------
The final check on the system went well with no problems, and I, who was in the middle of a problem, had nothing to do. Do I look at the situation of Elena?
When I looked at Elena with [Tracking Beacon], she was in the process of talking with the king about the security of the capital city.
There are only three people in the room, Laila, Elena, and the king.
『Father, the security of the royal capital is deteriorating. If you don"t do something quickly, you won"t be able to get it undone.』
『The soldiers are busy recovering the broken castle now. It"s an early move to strengthen security』
『What are you going to do after you fix the castle?』
『If the king is not in the castle, it may not be cool』
『So, are you planning to sacrifice the people just to take care of yourself, father?』
『Wh, What!』
Oh, Elena, let "s [Kill] that [Stupid king]!
『Under this condition, the people will run away from the royal capital. Even if you fix the castle, there will be no people.』
『Gumeme....... I don"t know about that! The story is over! Hey, Lyle Gebalt´s daughter. Call the royal soldiers and hurry up the castle restoration』
This guy...... I didn"t think he was such a foolish guy.......
『I, I understand』
Eh? Laila? Still, do you hear what this guy has to say?
And Elena had a very sad face.
It is about to hit the limit of my patience soon. After all, shall I make a move?
Laila headed for the contact room to contact the royal capital. At that moment I made a phone call to such Laila by smartphone.
『Seiji! What"s the matter? What"s going on?』
『There is nothing! I heard about the previous story. Why do you listen to such a foolish king!』
『Eh? Because...... I am a member of the n.o.bility, and I am obliged to follow the instructions of the king』
『Is that why you make Elena cry?』
『Th, That"s......』
『If you hear what the king says and make Elena cry, you are my [Enemy]』
『Wait! Seiji, wait, please! Even if you suddenly say such things......』
『How is it? Laila. Will, you be the enemy of Elena and me and be on the side of that foolish king?』
『...... Seiji and Elena....... Ally...... is』
『So, what about the king"s orders?』
『I refuse...... I will come』
『Thank you. You are a good guy』
『Uh......』
Was it too aggressive? I"m sorry, Laila, but I can"t see Elena cry.
If I don"t do this, the country can really die.
----------
『Ou, Lyle Gebalt´s daughter. Aren"t you quick? Have you contacted them yet?』
『No......』
『What!? Then, why did you come back?』
『I, I swear...... allegiance to Elena-sama. If Elena says that I should prioritize security...... I will obey it. So, so...... I can"t go against her......』
Laila kept her knees down and lowered her head, telling the king that.
The king and Elena were surprised by such lines of Laila, but the king gradually began to get angry.
『Wh, Wh, Wh, Whatーーー!!!』
Still, Laila doesn"t make a tremor as she faces downward.
『Are you going to go against meーーー!!!! You can"t talk to me! Call Lyle Gebalt!』
『Sorry, but my father is injured and can"t move』
『Fine! I"ll go to him!!』
The foolish king went out of the room angrily.
『Laila-san, was that good?』
Elena made a close call to Laila, who didn"t move with her knees on.
『I swore allegiance to Elena. Even if the other party is her father, the king......』
『Thank you』
Elena softly hugged Laila, who kneeled down.
I"ve only made an intervention call, but somehow, I am feeling of upset…....
