531 Under The Black King.
Lunch the next two days.
The table placed in the large dining hall was lined up with meals that Rajid had not cooked for long.I am surprised because I created everything by myself.
"--- You said Rajid."
"Ha, ha! Something wrong...?"
Hearing the voice of Silverado sitting at the far end, Razid, who had been holding back, said with a slightly frightened voice.I came here and remembered.When I met him off the coast of Suzeid, I tried to wave violence at Ain.
I was prepared to be punished for it.
"Delicious"
"--hey, hey?"
"Apparently my wife feels the same way. Isn't it?"
"Yes, Suzeid is no less a sea town than Magna.I also hear that the fishermen's arms are of good quality competing for the summit in Ishtalica.I was surprised to make use of those resources. "
"Mm-hmm. It's a shame I can't spare any wine.I wish it wasn't daytime. "
"Well then! If you don't mind, I'll come and make it at night... but..."
The store is closed. It's not a regular holiday, it's just that I come to the castle and I take the whole day off just in case.
"You don't have to hurry.But I'm glad you said so. "
That's right. If it doesn't bother you, please. "
I can't refuse.
Until a few months ago, I felt angry with the royal family, but now I feel even honored.I was delighted to be honestly praised, and my heart trembled with joy.
The fear of being punished disappears and looks at the same Ain on the table.
May I have a refill?
Always passing Ain.
"Of course. Anything."
I showed my white teeth and said, and immediately moved on to the preparation.
Ain was particularly fond of food like sandwiches, with fried fish sandwiched in bread.When you receive the refill immediately, your cheeks stretch and relax happily.
A mild time passes after this.
Yes, to what everyone thought.
The door was knocked and a knight peered into his face.
"I will."
Ain goes under the knight.
The knight's face was stiff, so he predicted something in the legged Ain.
As a matter of fact, Ain was different from everyone else in the soothing space just now.
----That's it.
"Where did you come from?"
The knight was surprised to hear this word.
"How did you know?"
"Me and Warren were expecting it.Grandpa knew, but maybe I was the most vigilant. "
"I'm impressed. That's what they call a hero."
"It's okay because it's sneaky. So, where is it?"
"It is a town heading northwest from King's Landing.Did you know that it was Sage's territory in the past? "
"Ah... it feels a little far..."
Then Ain started walking.While on the road, meet Marco and Dill and listen to the knight's explanation while keeping some gear.
"How many monsters?"
"We received a report of about half of them the other day."
"Is there a smaller number according to the size of the town?"
"That's right, it's not enough for people like Ain to carry their feet."
But...
"Let's go. If the gums show up, we'll be in trouble."
Even if there is a magic weapon, it is not easy to deal with.
Because Gulm is agile.
I wanted to avoid going backwards just in case.
"I want Marco to stay in the castle.Tell Krone I'm leaving and ask Chris to work with Marco on security. "
Ha.
"Dill will come with me to the ship."
"I understand."
"--- Anyone else?"
Speaking up, it was Martha who immediately rushed in.
"Tell Warren I'm leaving.For more information, go to Marco. "
"Are you sure? Without Your Majesty's permission, I would be reprimanded."
"Grandpa will understand.I've been talking a little bit about these times lately. "
I was able to move quite freely.I know this is due to trust, but in light of the situation, can I be honest and happy?
It was by no means bad to think that we could wave for the people.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
-----In the rush, Ain returned after evening.
Nearby knights and adventurers were injured, but fortunately there were none this time.The reassured Ain encouraged the people, and he himself crushed some monsters, then called out to the knights, and returned almost to the king's capital.
For the people of King's Landing, Ein has fought several times.
I already knew the Prince Wang's trust, but I still can't imagine going to save the people with my own feet.
Seeing Ain descending from a moored airship, it was impossible for everyone to boil.
............ I look forward to taking the throne!
... Welcome home!
In the cheer, the word "rank" came to be heard a lot.
You look even more daunting now.
"Suddenly, when they say it, it illuminates me."
"Excuse me, I was walking down the avenue.Every time you walk with me in the evening, I don't stop remembering my return to school. "
"You didn't call me by name at first."
"Of course. It would be a great pleasure for a guard to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name."
"That person wanted it....."
Laughing, walking.
Ain looks up and looks back at the imperial castle as it approaches.
Unlike when I first came to this castle, the view is different.It can't be said that the eyes are just different.Is there a difference in consciousness?
"In position?"
I grew up for it, and I thought I would.
When I was a young man, I didn't just yearn for the first king, but I wanted to be a heroic king, and I have worked hard to this day.
I was surprised to learn that the heroic king was a previous life, but it is also true that there have been a number of events in the past.
It's like the soul itself is for Ishtalica.as if he had been born to be close to him.
Ain was more than happy about this.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
"Well then, I'll just go for a little bit!"
"Be careful. I'll pick you up at White Rose later, so let me know."
"Really!? - Really. Fufu, I don't have much experience getting picked up, so I'm looking forward to it."
I dropped Chris off in the morning.
She will be on her way to Stram, the coastal city, to help Majorica with her work.Even if I say help, it's the transportation of donated goods, so it's not all a private job.
Ain dropped Chris off shaking his gold thread hair.Marco arrives next to her when she returns to the castle where she can no longer be seen.
Bring your face closer to Ain, who stood still on the carpet.
"I'm thinking of taking Chris to the escort."
I spoke in light of the current situation.
"I'm going to hide some maneaters, but I don't think it's enough."
"If Gulm shows up, there's no problem with the man-eater.The more I suck Ain-sama's magic, the stronger it gets.However, I will be more clever. "
"----I 've been entrusting you with a lot of detailed tasks for a while now."
"Absolutely not. I work for Ain, so I need to protect my neighbors.Especially if it's Chris. "
"I'm sorry, I'm really comfortable."
"All I have to do is say that.Well, I'll be right there. "
With a nice smile on his face, Marco lowered his head with a nice gesture and walked outside the castle beside Ain.It's about him. Chris should be secretly escorting us so we don't find him.
"Ain"
And there came Olivia.
"I'm going to have tea with your father, so why don't you join me?Of course, there's also Krone. "
"Thank you for inviting me. I have time until after noon, so if you don't mind."
"Yes, please come here."
Follow Olivia's lead and follow some of the stairs in the castle.
Heading towards the middle salon is a spacious room overlooking the castle's main gate and garden.
Inside, Krone and Silverado were already sitting on the sofa.
The sofa in this room is lined up for one person only, so that there is no notion of seating or seating.
Only the royal family can use this room.
It was a place for the Ishtalika royal family to spend their time together.
"Nowadays it's no big deal.Don't you think Ain would agree? "
"I thought I'd lead an army to crush the evil of Ishtalica."
"Hahahahaha! The purpose is different, but you behave like the first king!"
Ain and Olivia laughed bitterly at it.
Krone smiled elegantly and invited the two men with legs nearby.
"I wasn't kidding."
"I knew it. Well, that's not a bad idea."
"Eh?"
"What is that?"
Amazing Ain sat on the sofa before answering.
His seat was next to Krone, and Olivia sat down opposite Krone.Silverado sits in front of her and leans her hands away from her elbow and faces a surprise.
What are you surprised about?
"Don't be ridiculous. I thought you were gonna get kicked."
"Until a few years ago.But beyond that, you don't always have a hard head.I know how strong Ain is and how strong it is for Ishtalica. "
"Am I an adult, too?"
"Of course. Instead, the rest will be old."
"Your Majesty, what do you say?We, the people of Ishtalica, live like this because of His Majesty's glory. "
"Fufu, it's not bad for the next queen to say that."
As the story settles down, Belia carries her feet and makes tea and sweets for everyone.
He's the same, he's brilliant.
The meaning of what Martha says she can't catch up with anytime is well understood by Ain, who has never done a service job.
It's Belia.
"Yes, yes, what did you do?"
"The rest is old, but I am not saddened to leave the throne to Ain now.Don't you agree? "
"I am also delighted that His Majesty Silverado's reign will continue.... if Ain-sama were you, she would definitely build another glorious era. "
"Mm-hmm. I guess so."
"This is my personal opinion, but Ein is Mr. Lyle, who may say that he has crossed the First Majesty.I'm sure some of the people think the same thing. "
Normally speaking disrespectfully, the current king nods "definitely."
Next to that, Belia looked at Ain and smiled.
The smiled Ain is honestly delighted.I was so touched by the words that acknowledged the individual Ain and affirmed his existence.
"How's Ain? Do you think you've surpassed the first king?"
Then Ain avoided a quick answer.
There is something I think of as exceeding myself.But why can't you admit it honestly?
(I haven't done it yet)
Caution: Don't be vain.
Even in his previous life, Marc, the First King, was a hero who, in addition to the demon king's crusade, honored the great feat of unifying the Ishtal continent.
Now, what Ain did was also heroic, but when compared, Ain personally thinks it's inferior, even if it doesn't have to fall off one hand.
"I'm sure I'm not the one to judge that."
"--- Huh?"
"It's up to the Ishtalica people to decide.I think I've spent my whole life with Ishtalica and what the people think. "
Silverd was listening with kindness.
Klone and Olivia, both of whom were next to each other, also listened and looked at Ain.
Belia lay down her eyes and filled her heart with many thoughts.
"Haha... I can't say I'm a hero myself.I've always done everything I could to protect everyone for myself, so I've never wanted to do anything big. "
That's why I'm sure we'll continue to do it.
"I don't think I can be a king like Grandpa.They're still worried about us, but they might still be the same Ain that's going to help us. "
"... oh, my God. How about that, Krone? What did you think when you heard the man who would be your husband?"
"Please and joy. I can't wait to be around people like this."
Well, I suppose you were too.My love was like crossing the ocean, declaring my life. "
There's a laugh coming from everybody's mouth.
If the king were king, the woman standing next to him would also be a masterpiece.
"I support Ain.I bet everything... it's the one who risked his life to support Ain and stay by his side all the time. "
"It's like the Laviola Queen."
Really?
"Yes, because Princess Raviola was the one who guided Ishtalica alone for some time after her first king died."
"... but like Ain is Ain, so am I."
"Apparently so. Thanks to this, I don't feel a bit sad."
The silence visited brings meaningful silence to everyone's hearts.
The chirping of a bird from outside the window gave hope for the glow of the future.
I think I can spend the rest of my day quietly.It was ten minutes after the four men began to enjoy Belia's brewed tea.
The door was knocked, and Warren came to hear Silverado's reply.
"Your Majesty"
"I don't suppose he showed up."
"That's not true. The locations are northeast and northeast..."
"Two places at the same time...?"
"No, there are four places. In addition to the former Viscount Sage territory that appeared the other day, it appears that monsters are approaching the countryside on their way to Balto."
It is reported calmly, but the contents are too sharp.
Then Ain stood up before everyone else.
"I'll go. Give me the earliest airship.I'll let the other spaceships fall apart and get things sorted out by the time I get here. "
Ain stood up with or without a word of dominance.
I couldn't express it, but I was caught looking at his back.
But only Warren took a breath.
"Your Majesty, may I?"
"Ah, oh, we're going to the conference room right away."
"Krone, I'm sorry about the sudden change."
"Yeah, it's okay. I'm doing a job I can do at the castle, so I'll be in touch if anything happens."
"Thank you all the time. - Mother, I'm sorry you invited me."
"Please don't apologize. But please be careful.If Ain gets hurt, I'll run everywhere. "
After the exchange of words, Ein took Warren with him and followed the salon.
Three left, Bellia.
Silverado dropped off without a word, sipping tea to calm herself in a pressing situation.
Moisturize your throat with the remaining cold tea and stand up quietly.
I wonder what that little girl looks like.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
The invention of a spaceship was enough to change the plan.
In the past, Ishtalica had established skiing techniques such as Wieburn flights, but they were never meant for everyone, but needed special technology and bought Wieburn.
On the other hand, spacecraft can carry a lot of supplies without relying on living things, thanks to their operating technology.Though small in number in terms of law and security, it will eventually be a means of transportation for a new era.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Begins with a unilateral attack from the sky and can be intercepted when a flying monster arrives.Fighting by knights who descend immediately or after landing is altered by long-trained, even artistic collaboration.
"I won't let one escape in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Chase me! Don't ever attack my people again!"
Ain also had a sword near the knights who fought fiercely.
The crusade is going well.
In an instant, they will be crushed and the magic weapons will gradually calm down.
It will only take a few minutes.
A breathtaking Ain who quickly built a defense line to defend the town.
Somebody, I need a representative of this town.
Ain-sama! I'm here to guide you!
Behind Dill stood an old man of sixty years of age.This area is also close to farmland, and he is a man dressed in an easy-to-move costume.
"Oh, oh, Prince Wang!How can I thank you this time...? "
"Never mind.Rather, how are the people in town? "
"--Unfortunately, how many people remained on the farmland?"
Ain, who knew the victim had finally appeared, poured bright red blood from the tip of his chewed nails into his grip.
I was heartbroken that if I had come a little earlier, I might have been different.
But we don't have time to stop here.
"It's okay here. Rest assured, the knights will stay until they crush the monsters."
"Really!?"
"Yeah, I just have to go somewhere else now.I'll tell the knights a lot, so if anything happens, call me. "
Ein, it's about time.
"I know. ─ ─ Well, you can talk to the knight about the rest.Don't worry about it. Just count on me. "
The knights are on their way somewhere else, but we need to hurry.
No matter how much you can count on your strength, including adventurers, there's no time to slow down.
Next up was the countryside, further away from King's Landing.
When you get here, there aren't many resident knights, and there's a lot of distance and less power to call from other regions.
Still, the village was calm compared to the town just now.
I'm not thankful that there was a party of top adventurers, but why?
Ain-kun!
And a werewolf in white shouting at Ain who stood down.
"Roland!? Why are you here!?"
"There's a lab right next to this village!Even though it's a laboratory, it's just for assembling the Bahamas and designing the Engineering Dept. ─ ─ Ah!I don't care!Luckily, there was a magic weapon in the lab that could be used for battle, so I used it on my own! "
"Thank goodness...! This village is safe thanks to you!"
If you look closely, people in white are scattered all over the village.
Handheld magic equipment and magic weapons placed on farmland.
They were supposed to be used in the Bahamas.At a glance, Ein and Dill understood that they were state-of-the-art equipment.
"There was a raid nearby.I have a spaceship in the lab to support me. "
"... thank you. Thank you so much."
"You can cum. We're not going to be able to help if it's not like this."
Too modest a word, Ain grasped Roland's hand and thanked him.
Lorraine, who looked shy, asked Dill for help, but we were equally grateful and there was nothing to stop her.
I was thinking about how to get my head up.
Far away, a dazzling light went through the sky.
"What was that?"
Next to the eye-gazing Ain, Roland watched with a telescope that he took out of his pocket.
King's Capitol. - Yeah, it's in the direction of Strom.
Ain's chest sounded uncomfortably.
and, at the same time, intense earth sounds.
Supporting the fluffy Lorraine, Nanica appears where the light came from.
(Similar)
I was surprisingly calm when I fought Celestina.At that time, I recalled the transformation of the Hidden Dungeon.
Nanica appeared precisely because it was a crystal pillar.
Dill, I'm sorry.
And Strom now has Chris.
I only cared about that in Ain's head.If Marco were here, the Man Eater would be by Chris's side, but I still think it's not enough.
It's not enough... it's just that nobody else wants to protect themselves.
"You want to go to Strom."
"Ah, so look at the nearby town--"
"It's all right. We've got enough equipment from the lab in the other attacked areas.... that's more than a few times more powerful weapons than conventional Magic Stone cannons. "
But then Lorraine kept saying.
"Ein, you left King's Landing and came here through a nearby town, right?"
Yes, it is.
"Well, I don't think we have enough fuel to get to Strom.If we don't hurry, there's nothing we can do, but that ship's furnace is powerless. "
"Then we need to replenish it right away!"
"I'm close to the lab so I can handle it, but I still think it will take more than an hour.I really want you to look at this with transportation and replenishment. "
Roland talks with sincerity and seriousness all the time.
He asked Ain, "Then I'll run.That's faster, "Lorraine shook her head to the left and right.
"I don't really recommend it, but there's another ship."
"Uh-oh, that's really helpful! So where's the other ship?"
It was behind the nearby mountain that he pointed his finger at the clogged Ain.
"It's not finished yet, it's minimal, but I can assure you it's not dangerous because it's still going beyond Leviathan."
"No way, Lorraine, that's..."
"Yeah, Ain, as long as you have your magic, that's fine."
What is the potential of the ship?
How far beyond my imagination is one of the ships created by Genius Roland?
Immediately next to him, Dill swallowed his saliva and looked at the direction of the mountain.
"I still want you to pick up the baby Black Dragon ship Bahamut with Ain's hands."
