Summoning at Random

"It's the first time you've met anyone but Miss O'Rain.

Let me introduce myself again.

My name is Renalve, and I am captain of the Kingsguard of this country. "

Ling Ji and the others, who were helped by demonic youth where they were about to be captured as suspicious figures, followed his guidance to a restaurant. It was time too, so we decided to have dinner and talk.

Ling Ji's dangerous random physique was also sealed with dark magic as he entered the city, so he was finally able to rest assured.

The demonic youth - Lenarvé's arrangements led them to a private room, where they ordered the food and took a breather before the four began introducing themselves.

"It's Reiji Shito.

Uh... I don't have a particular identity. "

"It's a tena.

I'm Henri's squire. "

The two introduce themselves, with the exception of Aurain, which is already a pattern of old knowledge. Lenalvee was looking at the two to an undisputed extent, but reacted slightly when Tena mentioned her name and identity.

"Oh, you're Tena-sama.

Your Majesty has told us about you. "

"Your Majesty, is Mr. Leonora here?

"Yes, he said that you are a friend of His Majesty, Henri's squire, and that you are a dear friend yourself"

"Hehe, is that right?

Thank you. "

Tena smiled happily at Renalve's words.

"With that said, Mr. Renalve.

Earlier, Captain Kingsguard... "

Ling Ji is not familiar with the status system of this world, etc., but at least from the title of Kingsguard Knight Captain and the attitude shown by the captain of this city's guard, it was possible to speculate that he was of a fairly high status.

I wondered if the person in front of me who looked so young was in such a heavy position.

"Mr. Renalve is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, Mr. Rage."

"And the Four Heavens King!?

"With all due honor, I am responsible for the corner of the Four Heavens King as the one who presides over the wind"

Renalve explains with a slight bitter smile to Ling Ji, who suddenly pops up and doesn't hear much in his normal life.

Demonic territory is not made up of more than one state, unlike human territory, but only this country, where Ling Ji et al are now located.

It is the Demon King and the despotic monarchy that stands at the top of the nation. Underlying it is meritocracy and the notion of nobility does not exist, but the exchange of descendants between the highly capable inevitably gives rise to a highly capable clan, which is now in the power bracket. The four high-ranking demons, with particular strong power in them, are called the Four Heavenly Kings, who preside over each of the earth, water, fire and wind.

The Four Heavenly Kings are often close to the Demon King and at the same time combine heavy duties, which in Renalve's case meant that was the position of Commander of the Kingsguard Knights.

Renalve's explanation is easy to understand, and Ling Ji snorts and shows satisfaction.

That's when Aurain, sitting on Ling Ji's left, asked what he had cared about since he first met Renalve in this city.

"With that said, Mr. Renalve.

How did you get here so fast?

"? What do you mean?

"No, you came as soon as we got caught, didn't you?

I thought it was too early to come after the report. "

It was Lenalve, who tilted his neck because he didn't know what it meant to ask Oraine, but he nodded to the explanation that followed.

Ling Ji and Tena, sitting beside each other, said the same and were still concerned.

Renalve came to free Ling Ji and the others who were caught, but as soon as he was caught, he was showing himself. If a report had been made by the Guard, it would obviously be impossible in time.

"Is that what you mean?

To tell you the truth, I think your friend Henri is here to pick you up. "

"Master Henri, is it?

I don't know why my husband's name comes up there. Tena tilted her neck.

"Yes, there was a report of someone who showed the border guards the coins that His Majesty had entrusted to Master Henri, so I happened to be nearby, so I was supposed to contact him and pick him up quickly."

"Ah..."

To that word, Tena takes out a single coin that she also took out at the border from her chest. Renalve, who caught his eye on it, continued ahead as he nodded loudly.

"Oh, it's that coin.

Your Majesty gave it to a friend, and in this country you are ordered to treat whoever possesses it to the fullest. "

"Oh, but..."

To Renalve's words, the three of them tilted their necks in discomfort.

There is no difference between what he said and what he had heard beforehand. No, but if it's a gift to an unspecified number of "Demon King's Friends," it's because I couldn't figure out why it could even be identified as Henri. It doesn't look like you can personally identify it, not even if you look at the coin again, especially if it has a name on it.

But the next moment I somehow figured out why, and the three of them were silent.

"Hmm? What have you done?

"... no, it's nothing"

Renalve asks, wondering about the three of them who were casually silent, but Ling Ji and the others misled with a bitter laugh.

Just then the food was carried, so the current demon king's friend situation drove him across the thought, and the four of them pounded their tongues on the dish.

It was Ling Ji who was horrified to see if things were normally edible until they actually appeared on the land called the Demonic Territory alone, but if I opened the lid, I would feel safe because it was a menu that was not so different from the People's Territory.

After his stomach was largely filled, Renalve began to turn to the future.

"I will guide you to the castle beyond.

It's just too late today, so let's go to the castle tomorrow.

We've picked up an inn in this city, so stay there today. "

"Is that true? It helps."

It had been a long time since I could sleep in a warm futon even as Ling Ji et al., so I was happy to accept the proposal and take a temporary break.

Renalve talked to the city's gatherer and planned to stay there, so after giving directions to the inn, he broke up, and Ling Ji and the three of them entered the prepared inn.

There was nothing to do for having already finished dinner, and the three of them who entered each room fell asleep so that they could fall in because of the fatigue of their previous journeys.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Good morning.

Did you sleep well last night?

"Good morning.

Yes, thanks to you, it was comfortable. "

"Thank you"

The three of them smile and greet Renalve, who picked them up until the next day in front of the inn.

In fact, since all the journeys since leaving Unlinia have been wild boarding houses, the three of them who have been able to sleep on their beds for a long time were largely full of energy. In addition, the inn prepared by Renalve for the three of us was a luxury inn competing for one or two of the city, with impeccable amenities and customer service.

At that time, the three of them turned their attention to the presence standing behind Fujirenalve. Horses with beautiful furrows of pure white are heavily discouraged there.

"Is that white horse, Mr. Renalve's horse?

"Yeah, he's my partner as a knight.

You were all going to use the carriage, so I'm going to take the lead with him. "

"Yes, I understand... that?

At that time, Ling Ji tilted his neck when he realized there was a fudge.

"With that said, what happened to the carriage?

"Uh, you didn't see it after they caught you yesterday..."

At the same time that Ling Ji tilted his neck, Tena and Oraine also realized they didn't know where the carriage was.

Yesterday he was unloaded from the carriage when he was caught as a suspicious person and his luggage was taken away.

Renalve helped me after I was taken straight to the guard's stuffing, and for my luggage, I was given it back then, but I didn't remember what happened to the carriage after it was first unloaded.

They don't know how long it will take them from here to Devil's Royal Castle, but you can only guess how tough it is to walk to the boulder. If we don't get the carriage back first, we won't be able to embark on the journey, but if we don't know where it is, we'll start at the beginning.

But there, Renalve sent out a helpship to the three in a hurry.

"Oh, if it's your carriage, they're keeping guards outside the gate.

I'll hand it over to you when you get out of the city.

Don't worry, I told you to take care of the horses too "

"Good...

From what, thank you. "

"No, because there's also our downfall"

The four of them then traveled all the way to the Castle of the Demon King when they asked him to return the carriage to them outside the gate.
