Manga Born to Be King

　　The next morning, in order to avoid waking up Raphtalia, who had been studying very late last night, Nangong Xiao, who woke up, quietly left the room and went to check on Philo's condition.

　　Taking a closer look, I found that Filo's body, which was like a steamed bun, had changed again.The feet and neck are greatly elongated, what should I say, it looks a bit like an ostrich.In addition, the feathers have also fallen off and renewed, and if you look closely, the feathers have turned into a striped color that is a mixture of white and cherry blossoms.

　　It only took one day to grow to this point... Suddenly it started to feel a little scary.

　　Philo was born not long ago, but he was running around energetically and actively looking for him to play.

　　"Cuck!"

　　Although not a dog, he still plays the game of picking up branches with Philo.Philo's feet seem to be quite fast, and he can catch the branch before it hits the ground and run back to him. It seems that his IQ is also quite high.

　　"Okay, which area is better to explore today?"

　　By this evening, Philo had grown into an excellent Philo bird.

　　"It's so fast... It usually takes at least three months to cultivate to this state."

　　The innkeeper and rancher were taken aback.The two agreed that Philo was growing too fast.

　　Pili... The sound of bones pushing against each other sounded again at the scene.Probably the so-called growth sound.

　　"Cuck!"

　　Philo, who was old enough to carry people, sat down in front of Nangong Xiao.

　　"Do you want me to ride on my back?"

　　"Cuck!"

　　Philo uttered something like, "Is there any need to say that? ' screamed, and turned his head to motion for him to sit on its back.

　　"Then I'm sorry."

　　"Cuck!"

　　Philo stood up suddenly.

　　"Aah!"

　　Philo cried out in great mood, and then suddenly strode forward.

　　"Owner!"

　　Da da da da da!

　　The surrounding scenery was left behind in an instant, and Raphtalia's voice instantly disappeared.After a brisk run around the village, Philo stopped in front of the house that Nangong Xiao spent an hour(?) building for it.

　　"You, it's okay!"

　　Raphtalia rushed to Nangong Xiao with a worried look on her face to express her concern.

　　"I am fine."

　　Philo, who didn't look tired at all, had already started to trim his feathers.

　　"That's it for today, it's time to go back to the guest room to rest."

　　"Aah!"

　　Philo stopped him with a sound that sounded like a cry.

　　"Huh? Feeling lonely?"

　　nodded.

　　"Ah!"

　　Then he spread his wings and began to express his feelings.

　　"Just stay here with him until he goes to sleep."

　　Nangong Xiao sat down helplessly.Although this guy has grown so big, he has only been born for two days.It seemed a little too early to leave it alone overnight anyway.

　　The next day——I always felt that Philo was a head taller than yesterday.

　　It has almost the same appearance as the Philo birds seen in town areas and streets.The color is white mixed with a little pink cherry color, which is a very beautiful color combination.

　　"Aren't you hungry today?"?"

　　"Huh?"

　　Philo whimpered slightly sideways.Well, it looks like it's past its formative years.

　　Thunder...

　　The body made strange noises as always, perhaps because of the rapid growth, the body was a little unable to catch up.

　　The village is now busy with reconstruction works.

　　"Ah..."

　　Philo looked enviously at the wooden carts that came and went in the village.

　　"Does it really want to pull that thing?"

　　"probably."

　　Originally, Nangong Xiao was just curious about the contents of the egg, and by the way, he wanted to have a pet, but the size can no longer be described as a pet.And I don't know what to do for it at the moment, just let it try?

　　Suddenly I saw a familiar guy riding a carriage drawn by a dragon, driving straight in from outside the village.With the silver breastplate inside the chainmail, plus the eye-catching spear.

　　"Hey—! The villagers here are gathering—!"

　　Kitamura Yuankang gathered a crowd in the center of the village, which was busy with reconstruction projects, and the red-haired woman opened the parchment and read it aloud.

　　"Everyone, I hereby announce that, in order to reward the achievements in this wave of disasters, the king's special spear hero, Mr. Kitamura Motoyasu, will be the lord of this place."

　　Kitamura Yuankang said triumphantly: "So, I am the new local lord Kitamura Yuankang. The heavy responsibility of reviving the village rests on me! Please give me more advice in the future! The first task is to secure financial resources before purchasing building materials!"

　　"What!?"

　　Almost all the villagers showed a puzzled expression with their eyebrows furrowed.

　　It's no wonder, even if it is to reward active performance during the calamity wave, but a spear warrior who had no achievements when the village was in danger, inexplicably turned into a lord of this place, no one can accept this. Kind of a ridiculous decision.

　　"The lord of this place should be me, right?"

　　The figures representing the village raised their hands to speak.Does that even need to be said?Even if this kind of thing was suddenly announced to the villagers, they definitely couldn't just answer "Oh, that's it" and accept it calmly.

　　No, it should be said that since it is a decision of the country, the villagers probably have to accept it, but it is like a bolt from the blue for them.

　　"What's the matter? Do the villagers dare to object to the king's decision?"

　　"I didn't mean it, it's just that this announcement came too suddenly, not to mention—"

　　"shut up!"

　　The red hair is still doing the same thing, making people want to take a shot and flatten her.Anyway, according to Kitamura Motoyasu's stupid brain, it will only evolve into a situation where it is actually ruled by a bitch, right?Can imagine...

　　"First of all, you must pay taxes when you enter and leave the village, otherwise it will be a long time ago. As for the tax, it is 50 silver coins for entering the village and 50 silver coins for leaving the village. The total is 1 gold coin."

　　"It's too much! We can't live at all with your taxes!"

　　"Is this amount too exaggerated?"

　　Kitamura Yuankang has no sense of money at all.

　　1 gold coin is quite a lot of money.20 copper coins are more than enough for an adult to spend a frugal day in this village.If you book a hotel room, you can stay for one night for only 1 silver coin, and a meal is included.

　　And 1 gold coin is equivalent to [-] days of hotel accommodation.Frankly speaking, that is a heavy tax rate that will immediately cause problems for the villagers' three meals a day.

　　"What's the matter? Don't you mean to say you can't accept our proposal?"

　　"Does it even need to be said?"

　　"Suddenly came to the village and declared that I became a lord, and then I have to levy a heavy tax... Think about it with your head, okay?"

　　"Mai Yin, as long as the levy doesn't affect the villagers' lives, isn't it enough?"

　　Kitamura Yuankang nodded and turned to ask the bitch princess.

　　".~In this period, without a reform plan of great destruction and great liberation, the village will never be able to complete the reconstruction project. I hereby dismiss the former lord with the authority of the king."

　　"Why is this! It's too arrogant!"

　　The lord expressed his dissatisfaction with his sudden dismissal, and of course the rest of the villagers also objected.

　　"What a joke—!"

　　"Have you ever done anything to help our village—!"

　　"Oh, how dare you go against the country's decision... It seems that I have to show you some color."

　　With the palm of his hand, a knight rushed in from outside the village, riding a dragon.

　　"Hey hey hey, this is my territory."

　　Nangongxiao couldn't stand it anymore, it seemed that the lesson from last time was not enough.

　　"It's you......."

　　Halfway through the words, Kitamura Yuankang was fanned out and rolled on the ground a few times. When he got up, half of his face was stained with dust.

　　"Damn! You bastard—"

　　Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked away.This time, it was not as lucky as before. Kitamura Yuankang just landed on the ground full of gravel, and his face and body were torn apart one by one.After finally the body stopped moving, Kitamura Yuankang tried to get up, moved his body a little, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

　　It seemed that he knew that his internal organs were definitely injured.

　　"Lord Yuankang!"

　　The knights rushed over, intending to help (Zhao Zhao Zhao) him.

　　"Collapse."

　　Nangong Xiao pointed his hand to the ground, the knights' footholds suddenly became empty, and the ground suddenly disappeared.They fell into the pit without any strength, and just when they were about to climb out——

　　"quicksand."

　　The empty part was instantly filled with something, and the knights were buried.Of course, ordinary quicksand couldn't trap them, and their heads and hands struggled to reveal themselves within a few seconds.It's just that the quicksand began to turn into mud again, and under the heavy weight of the armor, the knights sank to the bottom and couldn't extricate themselves.

　　"I'll let you go this time, Hero of the Gun. I hope I can kill you like this next time I see you."

　　Nangong Xiao satirized Kitamura Yuankang and ignored the situation at the scene.As for Kitamura Yuankang, he has to keep him for some fun. People as stupid as Kitamura Yuankang are rare now.

　　At this time, a villager stepped forward to appease the riding dragon and grabbed its reins.

　　"It's good to put it in the village for the time being."
