001 新たな旅立ち【Axeplant Castle: Throne Room】
“Ah~… This room really calms me down…”
I partic.i.p.ated in the open-tournament of [Etherclan] and took home the reward money.
I’ll teach those money waster how to live economically――.
Is what I swore but I fell asleep right after eating――.
“I’m thirsty… Ruru, tea”
“No way. Do it yourself Kazuha”
“Ugh…”
The little girl silently reading a book at the conference table answer with a sharp tone.
I then make tea and reach for the tea cup beside Ruru while complaining.
“Tao~? Is the cake not ready yet~?”
“Eh? We ate it a while ago. There aren’t any left”
“ThErE ArEn’T aNy LeFt! That’s just weird!”
I complain at Tao who is sewing at the conference table.
I purposely copy Tao’s tone.
“You’re so noisy Kazuha”
“Yup. Even though the afternoon has a great weather and it’s quiet. Please grow up a bit”
“URGH…”
Tao agrees with what Ruru said.
I ignore what they said and sit beside them.
“Fofofo. You lot never change… Can I also be in part of your play?”
The bearded old man peers out from the selfishly installed atelier in the throne room.
A dish of half-eaten cake is still in his hand――.
“Nope! Not with a dirty old man with a half-eaten cake!”
“Is that so. That’s too bad. I can’t eat it all because I’m already full…”
Zegius goes back to his atelier leaving those words.
“…. You all… really don’t care that I am your queen…”
I gave up and return to my throne as I let out a very deep sigh.
Even though I earned 10,000,000G for them, these retainers know no grat.i.tude…
…
・Spirit Ruryuseim Orinbia → Forcefully Abducted ☆
・Blacksmith Zegius Bahamut → I leave all the hard jobs to the prime minister as well as smithing teacher ☆
…Yup.
I guess this is what you call, you reap what you sow.
“At any rate those guys haven’t returned yet… They’s so slow…”
I mutter while taking a random bunch of data from beside my throne.
I thought that they would finish first before me…
“They really are late. We did contact them a week ago”
“Maybe they’ve finished a while ago and is now currently drinking in a bar. The drunkards Selen and Alzein are with them…”
“…If they really are drinking then I’ll deport them…”
I a.s.signed Rei-san as the chief member even though it’s her first time as a mercenary of for the mission in the They’re pretty much the [world cla.s.s mercenary group].
“…Hmm?”
A sealed letter then came flying in from somewhere and a light spreads out together with a tone of *pi- pi–.
This is――?
“Hou…? It’s a … Maybe it’s an emergency transmission”Normally a transmission is delivered by a messenger however that takes 10 days.
Therefore this is a rare sight…
“…It’s from Rakshadia republic”
Ruru stand up from her seat and took the sealed letter.
The moment Ruru took it the light fade so as the magic power.
“What does it say?”
Tao peeks at it.
I too stand from my seat and look at the letter that the little girl has.
“Uhmm.. [In regards to the annihilation of the mercenary group , the mission has failed. The heritage<4 treasures=""> have been taken――]”“W-wait! Eh? Annihilation…?”
Ruru made a mistake reading it so I read it once again.
[In regards to the annihilation of the mercenary group , the mission has failed. ]Is what is really written.
“Kazuha… Is this…”
The little girl looks at me with anxiety.
“No,no,no of course not… They’re stupidly strong and they also has a sword of the brave user and 2 cursed sword user, right? Graham and Lily are there too so this annihilation is――”
Those are the only words I can say as I fall to my knees.
“What wrong? Please don’t show me such a scared face…”
Tao checks up on me as her face warps.
“…Ruru. Is “he” still alive?”
“… No, you definitely terminated him during that time. If he was alive then I should’ve noticed his presence”
The spirit king.
The perpetrator of the ――.And certainly I did banish him.
Using the of ――.“…Is that so. Of course. I’m just confirming it, he might just be the cause…”
The Holy grail of the king of spirit’s seal is located in Amzeria, and they’re saying that the [heritage] escort has failed――.
It’s weird for him to not get involved but if Ruru says so then let’s leave it at that.
“Then why did Rei-san and the others get [annihilated]…? Are they even alive…?”
“…”
Ruru and I stay silent.
We must first know if they’re alive or not.
If they stopped communicating then I can a.s.sume the worst.
“Kazuha…”
“Don’t show such a facce Ruru. You know those guys won’t just die easily, right? Hey! Zegius Jii-san!”
I call to Zegius whose watching the situation.
“Yes. You’re going right? To
Zegius takes out a greatsword from the atelier.
Before I depart to the tournament I asked Zegius to make me a greatsword.
“. It’s the sword you ordered…”The greatsword has heat haze coiling around it.
And just like the name it’s a sword of the .“Yotto… Ugee… isn’t this a bit too heavy? Zegius”
This heavier than the, ,one I’m using right now.
Is there even anyone who can wave this sword around…?“Fofofo. It’s because it’s twice heavier than the normal [greatsword]. Normal people can’t even use this sword. And I added the to it because you said so――”“I know that. But with this it can now replace the that I lost. I wouldn’t know if I don’t use it”I easily put it on my shoulder.
However I can sense as much from this sword.
It’s not as close to and “… I’ll go too. I feel something disturbing about this…”
“I wanna go too! I don’t wanna hold the fort anymore, plus it’s much easier to hold a party if you have a chef with you!”
“But…”
The truth is I wanna leave Tao and Ruru here.
It’s because I can’t predict what will happen from now…
――Maybe this is an event of my 3rd time.
“Fofofo. Don’t mind me. Even if I look like this I still am energetic. I can protect a castle or two by myself”
“No … It’s not like I really care about jii-san though…”
I as wryly smile and answer Zegius, I face Tao and Ruru.
…Haa.
“I get it! Come with me then! I’ll just grumble after we met with the others!”
We then journey towards < p="">
