I took Celica through the fairy door and headed to the king''s capital.


    It was a little early in the day and my father''s inn seemed busy preparing lunch.


    When I left Migna''s room, I met Lionel, a luxurious boy in the hallway.


    "Hello, Mr. Kaika, Mr. Selika. Mea said you could fly by magic, but it was true."


    "Oh, you''re a brave man. Try not to talk too much about this."


    "Yeah. So, you''re going to have lunch? Mr. Meigna is here to help."


    "No, I don''t want it. Aren''t you busier than that?


    "Mm-hmm. I''m here, and I hired two people, so I''m fine."


    "Right. You''re doing great."


    "As good as it went?


    With that said, Lionel tilted his neck as he hung. The blonde hair drifted away.


    - That Kako is the son of the mayor and a good business man. You were smart, too.


    "... I just figured, aren''t you willing to try a new job?


    "A new job? Like what?"


    "It''s a job to lead an undeveloped vige. It''s a lot of danger, and I think it''s gonna be a very difficult job."


    "Dear Kaika... Isn''t that impotent in any way?


    Celica frowned worryingly.


    You guessed at the look of it, Lionel asks seriously, honoring the bright light in his brown eyes.


    "- Is it important to Mr. Kaika?


    "You''re the ones who believe me as a brave man. I need it to defeat the Demon King."


    "Phew."


    Lionel looked up at the ceiling and frowned. Adult tricks on the remaining face of childhood.


    "I''m not saying it''s impossible because it''s dangerous. Protect it as much as you can."


    "Where will the ce be?


    It''s the west coast of the border continent.


    Then Lionel smiled.


    "That''s a long way off. A ce I only know in my book knowledge. I wanted to go sometime. It could be dangerous, but... Is that even possible?


    "Will you do it? It helps."


    "Yeah. I have a takeover, so I can''t do it right away."


    "I''ll tell Dadter, too."


    "Yeah. Bye."


    Lionel waved back to work with a small hand in front of his chest.


    The store seemed busy, so I headed to the royal castle first.


    White Asian castle with many high spires, in the center of the Wang capital.


    When he told the gatekeeper about his visit while showing him the [testimony of the brave], he was immediately led to the throne room.


    The exorcism of the Demon King is a top priority, so it took precedence over all sight and deed.


    Walking down the hallway, Etoile rocked his red hair and came fast.


    "Kaika, you''re in a good mood."


    "It''s been a long time, Etoile. Hurry up, what''s wrong?


    "... I think I''m going to get engaged"


    "That would have been nice. Congrattions."


    Then she chewed her lips with tears in her shiny eyes.


    "Dear Kaika... Ugh... sorry... goodbye"


    Turning back his heel, Etoile ran away.


    Celica pulled the hem of her Japanese clothes. I''m grieving a shapely brow.


    "I beg you, Kaika, will you forgive Etoile..."


    "Do you think Etoile is learning something like imperialism as something that stands on top like Celica?


    "Huh? Yes, it would be mended because it is royal"


    "Right."


    I just nodded and walked ahead.


    We entered the great hall, lined with columns.


    King Daphnes sat on the upper throne. A suited old man with a white beard.


    I stayed standing, but Celica was on one knee and bowing her head.


    The king said in a dignified voice.


    "Well done, brave man. Looking good, above all. Celica, raise your head."


    "Long time no see, King." "Long time no see, Master Daphnes."


    I had a light meeting and Celica bowed deeply.


    "It''s Kaika. How''d it go after that?


    "The report oveps, but the Four Heavenly Kings defeated three. The fourth Geadorf missed just one more step, but the simultaneous invasion of the world he was nning using 100,000 undead troops seeded in destroying everything just before to prevent it."


    "Oh! What a great job! That is the proud brave man of our country! Keep up the good work."


    "I will try my best, my king"


    I smiled and answered.


    The king nces at the hall before saying:


    "Do, it''s Kaika. Weren''t you here today for every favor? You mean the vige?


    "That''s the king, he''s ears fast. In fact, we paved the way to connect Kaika Vige to Wang Du."


    "Mm-hmm. I''m listening to that. It''s a little bit of a problem. He said it could be harder to defend."


    "Yes, so I think we should make Kaika Vige a part of the northern defense."


    "Hmm? What exactly are you not going to do?


    I answered with a strained chest.


    "I''m going to surround the vige with high stone walls first. It creates a deep outer moat around it. Of course I''ll do it at my own expense."


    "Hmm. First of all, isn''t that still there?


    "And then I''m going to think about using beasts and godbeasts as well as people in defense"


    Knights and clerks in the Great Hall bothered. It conveys signs of confusion.


    The king nodded amusedly, not caring.


    "Wow! When you use something other than people! - Does it help in an emergency?


    "Kaika Vige is the northern end of the country. To the north the Great Forest will spread, beyond which it will already be upied by the Demon King''s Army."


    "It is."


    "Its upied territories are the areas inhabited by the beasts. Now the beasts in the vige are the people who have fled the Demon King''s reign with their lives. So I assure you, against the Demon King''s army, we will fight with madness and death."


    "Ho. I know that emotionally, but they might be inviting insiders, right?


    That''s the king. Follow me where it hurts.


    "That''s not a zero chance, but the Beasts say they can be ves, so I thought it was enough to trust them. If you need anything, I''ll take responsibility."


    "Then send wizards on a regr basis and let them magically look for their hearts and minds and there will be no problems. - But what do you say we ce the Divine Beast? I''ve been reported to have built a rtionship with Naga in Dor Earth."


    I didn''t know you''d cut out a help boat from the king''s side. Because the king already has enough track record to know, now those around him can''tin head-on either.


    I made up a story to sound like the best.


    "Just like the Naga''s, they are godbeasts who were bitter juiced by the Demon King and lost their way. I found out on my journey. It has meaningful powers that people don''t have. We want to protect them in Kaika Vige. He swore he''d help the brave."


    Subtly different, but it should be better to say this.


    "Hmm. I guess so, because there''s a legend that even demons are to bepanions."


    "So besides the Beast Man, can you allow me to live with such godbeasts as elves, mermaids and slimes? I''ll take responsibility. Besides, the demons led by the Demon King are vicious. I was wondering if it would be better to use the power of the gods and beasts than ordinary people to defend themselves."


    "Permission immediately, that''s not how it works. Let''s just see how it goes for a try. If it doesn''t seem to be a problem, we''ll officially allow it."


    He took deliberate care of his subordination, and that''s what happened.


    I bowed my head.


    "Thank you, king. And then I''m going to make it a big vige, so I''d like permission to run a school, a hospital, a shop or a lodging. Of course I pay taxes. Instead, it will be the defense of the country, so I was wondering if it could be made under the direct authority of the king."


    "I see. It''s easier to defend your country."


    Several nobles looked at him dissatisfied. Because it leads to cutting the power of local aristocracy.


    For that matter, the king is pretty ridden because he can gain more power.


    I have trouble being objected to by nobles, so I''ll keep a follow up on this asion.


    "As a vige, we can also expect considerable revenues. I would like to respond by increasing the ties between the agriculturalnds of the nobility of Kaika Vige when ites to its reduced ie."


    "Well, how much ie do you expect to increase?


    "Since people are supposed to get together, I was wondering if it would be ie to inherit from Dor Earth or Wang Capital. It will be more than the western town of Kerkira. If we liberate the northern Beastman district in the future, Kaika Vige will also be a trading city. We will use the power of the divine beast, not man, and we have already had the elves and mermaids work."


    The words "working mermaids" add to the twist of the Great Hall. I haven''t really.


    "That''s amazing...... I''d like to see it for once. Even if it is under your direct jurisdiction..."


    "This is also the preparation necessary for the final showdown with the Demon King toe, King"


    Of course it''s a lie, but when ites to this, it''s hard to disagree because it''s going to be a judgment as a brave man. Especially the nobles.


    The king twisted his neck as he stroked to grab his beard.


    "But by then, it''s just hard in the vige. It''s not like Kaika''s going to hit defense all the time..."


    "So I have a suggestion, my king"


    "Oh, my God, say it"


    "What about the second princess, Etoile, being deputy to the vige?"


    "Be...! Etoile!


    Huh!? and people make noise. "That''s just it." "Aren''t you getting too well?" and others pped their pussies.


    Celica was surprised, too.


    "Kaika!?... that''s... no, but it might be the ideal conclusion"


    Iugh nigga and tell the king.


    "Etoile, thank you very much for your help in Dor Earth."


    ce the royal family under the direct authority of the king. I can''tin about nobility to the extent of a tax collector.


    - Besides, looking at what the vige chief is doing now, he thought the limit of his heart was close.


    Just looking at the mermaid is enough to slip your hips.


    If you were to get Naga or Biholder Gel to work, you would definitely fall.


    Besides, if Etoile is the deputy, you can do whatever you want with the vige without being disturbed!


    Etoile''s engagement will also be postponed for the time being.


    The king looked delightfully troubled andplicated.


    But say it in a harsh voice.


    "... ok. Let the vige of Kaika and its farnd be the direct jurisdiction of our country, and order Etoile to be the deputy of Kaika vige"


    - Eh, that''s the king!


    I finally raised my voice around me.


    "King!" "Daphnes, that''s not much!" "Say how brave you are, there is danger!" "Mr. Etoile has ns for an engagement..."


    The king raises his hand and holds his voice around him.


    "Already the brave Kaika defeated Evil Squid and Barrier Mook just to get confirmation, glorified the rough dragons, protected the vige of Loni from the raids and destroyed the Gaff Bandits. In contrast, my country has yet to give them any prizes. If it''s supposed to be one of the territories, you can give it to me, right?


    Then the territory of the nobles could belong to the brave. There would still be more possibilities for redistribution in the direct jurisdiction.


    And, it seems, the nobles judged, silencing themselves with faces like they chewed up bitter bugs.


    Well, even for me, getting territory didn''t do me any good. Even if there is no tax revenue, we can fully operate with the proceeds from the sale of demonic materials and dividends from the Dryde Chamber of Commerce. Recently, there has been an increase in pennies.


    Brave men are more valuable than nobles in terms of guaranteeing their identity.


    Conversely, if you get a territory, albeit less here, you''ll be treated like a nobleman. Then in the future, when he took back the Beast District or Edelstein, Edelstein could belong to the Kingdom of Daphnes, for the nobility of the Kingdom of Daphnes took it back.


    I don''t want to sprinkle the seeds of such a feud, even for the celica who has always supported me.


    The king seemed to understand.


    - Or is it the Gaff Bandits? If you think so.


    Before this, it was the bandits we defeated with bronze statues. He was led by a guff who shed and killed him in a brave men''s exam tournament.


    An unexpected pushback.


    I smiled and lowered my head.


    "Thank you for acknowledging, King. Encourage more demon king exorcism. And say hello to the tax collector."


    "Hmm. Good luck with that."


    Me and Celica bow their heads again and turn their heels back.


    The Great Hall still had an air of dissatisfaction, but there was nothing to speak up against.


    The special consideration of the valiant Kaika vige was fully acknowledged with a single voice of the crane.


    I thought of it and saw the nobles and knights in line.


    Naturally, the Vernus officials were dissatisfied, and several nobles looked bitter.


    Just in case, I saw the status of the disgruntled faces and remembered their names.


    - Let''s find out what''s going on in your spare time.


    And I followed the royal castle with exasperation.


    Full day.


    I went back to Kaika vige via my father''s shop.


    That''s when I talked to my father and he agreed to let Lionel work elsewhere.


    In the vige of Kaika, he told the vige chief that this was the direct jurisdiction and that Etoile woulde as deputy. I slipped back again and buttcaked, but I was relieved to know that the trouble would no longer be my fault.


    And then I met the architect Melvius and asked for further architecture.


    Celica was paying for it by saying she didn''t have enough material.


    When I entered the mansion room, I felt rxed.


    Sit alongside Celica in bed.


    "I''m kind of tired. Even though it''s noon."


    "Oh, it''s night for us. Jetg."


    When I exined the jetg, Celica was impressed.


    "Time changes depending on the location, doesn''t it? That''s Kaika. I learned."


    "Fairy doors are handy, but it''s hard around there. Tomorrow I''m going to help other tribes on the border continent, so wake up in the middle of the night."


    "Okay. And then I thought,"


    "What?


    "When I moved to pieces at the fairy door, I didn''t know where Kaika had gone. If you don''t know, you may have trouble finding it in the future."


    "I see... I''m more or less a testament to bravery, but will we all be in trouble... All right, I hope you make a name tag and hang each destination on a board that says"


    "It would be helpful if you could do that...... Phew, sorry"


    I yawned for Celica to bite me to death. He seems sleepy. He was ashamed to yawn in public, dyed his cheeks and leaned down. Kind of cute.


    "Do you want to rest after lunch?"


    "Yes, Kaika."


    I tried to ask rissa for lunch, but Migna brought back four servings of lunch from the store, so I ate that.


    It was a miso roasted fish caught in Dor Earth.


    - Soon, they were bringing miso back from Kaika Harbor.


    Mea says with the same faceless expression as usual.


    "Kaika, because I thought your brother would be happy"


    "Oh, it''s great. Thank God."


    "Mm. I''ll make it again"


    Mypliments didn''t break my expression, but my tail was shaking softly with joy.


    Lapisia, awakened, had sleepy eyes, but still ate only the sausage silently.


    I went to bed as soon as I finished eating.
