The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

In all, there are three Dukes in our country.

... In the first place, it seems that this kingdom of Grand La began with four people in the beginning.

Each of those four got a wife, and that's how the child was born.

... One of those four most talented men became king of the country, and the other three became beings to support such a king.

That's three.

The rastard ligaria in front of me has packed my distance with a smile at the same rate as usual.

"It's a hiccup. When I left home, I was worried about Sora, but she seemed fine."

"... thanks to you"

Without the Ligaria family, I wouldn't be here right now. Rastad laughs with one hand on his back. I smiled back at him, too.

But why is Rustad here? I was very happy to see him again, but he is in a position to work in court. Surely now, you should be in a position of being my father's aide to take over the house.

I was just about to ask him that, and he has shown off a piece of paper flickering.

"Rude, Nin. You two are supposed to come to the court."

"This... was written by the king?"

With his eyes open, Manichia takes the paper.

... Indeed, the king's name was written there.

The content is simple. I want to call me and Nin to court, something like that.

Forced, doesn't seem to be. I guess it's possible to refuse... I just don't know what happens after I do.

Rustad puts the paper on the table, then takes his seat. I sat face to face.

"As you can see, this call is by the King. … do you know that there will be a world conference soon?"

"Oh, oh."

"Rude is a Coulas, fighting the Demon King. So he wants to see the king once. He's also a hero who protected one of the cities."

"... if you mean you protected the city, I'm not alone"

"Maybe, but it's typical, so you don't have a choice. And then think you're lonely by yourself. They say there's a close Duke's house, and I thought I'd ask her to accompany me. I thought it would be more convenient for you."

"That's... maybe it is. He's got his situation."

"Well, I've been talking to the church for a while."

The front door of the house opened.

There was a very, very grumpy nin there.

He puts his arm down and sneers at Rastad all the time. Hilarious, Rustad waved one hand.

"Long time no see Nin. Looks like the same crazy dog."

"Ugh. Weird story coming from the church?"

"'Cause you're not gonna hear that Nin isn't from the church, are you?"

"I'm not asking because it's a church.... so that's his call?"

Come on, don't call the king that guy.

Rastad is laughing Kerakera at Nin's appearance.... You may be involved with the royal family from a small age as dukes, but I'm a normal person.

I feel like a friend of a friend and a friend are talking.

"That's just too much, Nin."

I knew you were overstating it.

"Will you tell me it's hard? You don't even want to go to Rude, do you?"

No, you, how much towards the king is that...

"Oh, okay."

Rastad nods. No, you see.

"... Nin, I just don't like being banished from this country"

"You wouldn't kick me out otherwise, would you, that king? They'll laugh and flush."

... I do hear stories about a good king who is frantic.

The present King has considerable trust from his citizens. I don't know what it was like because I don't know the king before him, but it is true that this country has developed more than the previous king.

It must be hard because the next king can compare. Rastad flaunts his shoulder.

"Well, although I can say no. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to sell your name here?"

Certainly.

There is no first clan that can participate in a world conference.

Even those two famous clans won't be called.... Even I'm not called as a clan.

"Can you become famous and use it for something?"

"Look, get along with the aristocrats and get married from there or something. Rude, maybe more than a girl you like, huh?"

"No, I'm not interested."

I just found it a little appealing, but I probably shake my head.

I was kidding. It was a rastard, but his expression tightened up.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to cooperate if you can. From now on - information about the Demon King will become the most important. Many citizens are anxious about the Demon King.... You repelled the demon king, though I don't know what the situation is. … that position is very important."

"What. Don't you just want to use Rude?"

Nin turns a hard eye.

... because she doesn't like that.

From that look and the standpoint of the Duke's house, she seems to have had a lot of things for a long time.

In Nin's eyes, Rastad shakes his neck vertically.

"It will also result in a more impressive national position at the World Conference. Of course, I'm going to pay you quite a bit. in the country and also intends to officially authorize the clans of the Rudes"

That would be an unusual story. If authorised by the State, the remuneration will be paid on a monthly basis.

If something goes wrong, we need to send soldiers to the country, but based on that, it's a fascinating story.

"Rude, what are you going to do? Probably the clan's headed for the better, but you might get used to a lot of things, huh?"

"... Do you remember why I built the clan?"

"To protect the town, right?"

Nin had a soft grin. You already seem to understand what I'm thinking.

"If it's recognized by the state, we should be able to use that position here. If you need anything, you can ask me to send a knight, right?"

"Right. In an emergency, I think the country will actively cooperate."

"From me, it's something you don't even wish for. Besides, the country's not interested in our clan, it's interested in me, right? I'll take whatever I can personally do."

"... So you're going to participate in the World Conference?"

"Oh. What about Nin?"

"Of course, I'll go for you. Don't let the nobles take advantage of you. Are you going to get fooled easily by a stupid woman?"

Nin laughs like a tease. To the words, Rastad is exhaling and laughing as relieved.

Somewhere, there was a nervous appearance, Rustad, but he seemed to lose his shoulder strength when he heard my response.

... Did the king nominate me?

I heard he was just a kind king, but I guess he's a pretty smart guy around the corner sending Rastad.

If Rastad fails to bring me in, it might sound like Rastad's future. That kind of threat could have meant something.

... and Rustad didn't say it too strongly because he knew what was going on with me.

I wish you'd be honest with me.... I used to be helped. I'd do anything I could.

"Rastad, are you in this city for a while?"

"No, I plan to be back soon. I've been busy. We have to prepare for the World Conference."

"Rastad, I'd like to take another one. Is that possible?"

"Another person...? Is he related to this World Conference?"

"Oh, a man belonging to my clan, who also participates in this previous battle with the Demon King. His name is Marius."

"... sure. That's the name that came up in Mr. Xerocco's report. The two of us, Rude and Marius, defeated the Demon King... right? Okay. I don't know about Rude alone, 'cause he might have some information. I'll tell you what."

"Oh, thanks."

I'll use Hugh to get in touch with Marius. "Sounds like fun," he said in two replies, "he hasn't looked particularly different since then.

... I'm the Demon King. I've been worried about myself since I figured it out. That would be fine if you would return to the usual healthy Marius.

Rustad plays his hand on his jaw and looks like he's coming up with something.

"Rude... I want to ride the Holy Dragon. Is it possible to use it to travel to King's Capital tomorrow?"

"... a child who wants to try it on. Well, if you ask me, I'll be fine."

"Alright, that's what I'm asking for!"

I laugh at him when he hardens his fist.

Rastad will stare at my face. It's kind of a calm look.

"Nevertheless, Holy Dragon? I've had brief reports from the Alliance, but you've had a lot going on since you left home."

"Didn't you have a lot going on over there? You've got whiter hair than before."

"Really...... working in court is all about using nerves. Like old times, I want to hang out with Rude and the knights."

He exhales, then loosens his clothes jacket.

"Speaking of which, you were at a knight's school called Rude, weren't you? Let me hear it then."

Nin rides up and rides himself out.

Manichia also sits next to him in a scuffle.

A knight... I miss you.
