Volume 2 - CH 238

My head hurt since yesterday, sory if it’s late.

“”I don’t want to go.””

“Are you kidding me? You think you can say no?”

“No way I’m going!”

“I don’t want to go either!”

Of course it’s going to be a pain in the ass!

I don’t want anything to do with nobles or royalty!

Come to think of it, Houen knows a lot about nobles and other relations!

However, I’ve decided not to ask him about it!

If I did, I’d be in a lot of trouble!

I mean, Houen says he doesn’t want to go because he already knows about it!

So of course it’s better if I don’t go!

“It’s a call from the royal family! You have no right to refuse! There is nothing I can do about this one!”

“If I don’t ……?”

“If you don’t go, the Knights will come and take you out.”

“That’s really a pain in the ass!”

After I shouted that, Maria pushed the letter to me.

I reflexively take it.

A quick glance tells me that it is sealed with melted wax.

And an elegant seal had been stamped on it.

This must be the emblem of the royal family of the Kingdom of Salettana. ……

Jeez.

Why is the prince calling us ……?

Did we do something to catch his attention?

” …… he seems to be grateful for your efforts.”

“Eh, did you read it?”

“If I had, it would be open. The guy from the Knights gave it to me. He said they would be happy to reward you with a reward and invite you to visit them.”

“……, let’s read it and see……”

I carefully opened it and checked inside.

The paper is folded neatly and gives off a spectacular look, even though it’s just paper.

I looked at the contents with dismay and found it to be …….

It was indeed a letter to come to the castle to invite me, the Reitei, to come to the castle.

Apparently, some adventurers had made a report about me, and they had identified me over the past days.

Isn’t that too scary?

No, it says I’m a hero who protected his country, but it’s not that big of a deal, you know?

To be honest, the ones who did the hard work were the ones who struggled inside, right?

Because all I did was burrow all the herds of monsters on the ground.

The others did most of the work.

I think they should be invited rather than me.

Yup, that’s what I think, honestly.

“You should go as a representative of the adventurers.”

“No way. ……. Seriously ……?”

“I’m serious.”

Uwaah, …….

No joke, that’s a pain in the ass. ……

………… Well, I’ll know if I go..

If I don’t do it, this won’t be over, so I’ll do this much.

I don’t want to be accused later..

Well, let’s read a little more about what it’s all about: …….

The heck is this?

”…… it’s like all of us should come together. Houen is pretty famous. Your name is mentioned here.“

“Ourn’s name isn’t on there !?”

“Yeah. No, it doesn’t.”

“Guhh! This all is because I was too standout in the guild!”

Well, if I had hair like that, I’d stand out even if I didn’t want to.

But I’m glad we can all go together.

I don’t think I can do it alone.

I didn’t mind so much in the Kingdom of Garrot, since I’ve been familiar with them since I was a snake, after all.

But it takes a lot of courage to meet royalty for the first time. ……

The first thing you need to do is to talk to Reizen and Uchikage, who are outside working on the reconstruction.

We are going to go with the five of us.

Ah, what should I wear?

This is my best attire that I’ve ever worn.

The least out of place is Houen’s outfit.

He’s so well dressed.

Despite looking like a junior high school student.

“Speaking of which, what are we going to do about transportation? What about clothing? Do I need to carry a weapon?”

“I was told that a carriage will be coming to take you to the city. I don’t think it’s fair to ask adventurers to dress in a certain way, so I’m sure they’ll make it convenient for you. Not including weapons, of course.”

“Well, in my case, my skill is my arsenal. Does it matter?”

“Ouren. Please don’t cause any problems, okay. ……?”

How rude.

It’s not like I’m trying to do anything.

But I’m just afraid, you know?

Even in the Kingdom of Garrot, there was a time when Varadim was on the ceiling, so we never know what’s out there.

And since we’ve defeated so many monsters, there’s a chance they’ll be wary of us in general.

I’m not bragging, okay?

Yeah, I’m not bragging, okay?

Ah, what if I get reeled in or something?

I’ll do my best to refuse.

But if I refuse, I don’t think I’ll get into any trouble even if I refuse. ……

Especially if it would cause trouble for those around me.

Oh, wait a minute?

I only have a bad image of nobility.

That’s my fault.

I should change my way of thinking. ……

However, I’ll have to meet them in person.

In the Kingdom of Garrot, I treated them regardless of whether they were nobles or royalty until the very end.

I was a snak tho. ……

It’s not the same now, but it’s still …….

Even though I’m not a snake, I’m still a snake. ……

“Tomorrow!?”

“What!? Isn’t that too early!?”

“Eh, you kidding. I don’t know about that. ……”

“We have to get ready! Reizen! Uchikage!”

Only Alena acted immediately to get ready.

It’s better not to think about it too much any more.

The designated time is …….

“Tomorrow Morning …….”
