The Latest Game Is Too Amazing

In the middle of the night, the general public is quiet. The same is true of Maukt, the capital of the Kingdom of Castal. But some residents work late that night.

There is a sewer built more than five hundred years ago in the downtown area of the Kingdom of Castal. The sewer is inhabited by demons and the entrance to the sewer is sealed off. The entrance was stuffed and guards were stationed there.

There were old guards and young guards stuffed in the filling room now.

"The old bones don't have the night's turn."

"I don't have a choice. Seniors have been taken by security elsewhere."

To the blur of the old guard the young guard returned with a bitter laugh.

Currently, the Kingdom of Castal is home to dignitaries from all over the country. As a result, many soldiers had been turned to security.

Many soldiers were lost by Elder Trent, but the kingdom of Kastal, a major power, soon expanded its forces. But working soldiers are assigned to escorts of important dignitaries from different countries, and there are signs of old soldiers and newcomers being driven out in these places.

Even though there are demons in the sewer, a threat to the extent that even newbie adventurers can defeat them. It is tightly closed with iron doors, and is regularly exterminated by adventurers. There were no demons coming through this door.

"We must have been on duty because the guards who were in the jail were picked up."

"Do you mean trusted?"

There have been cases where a group of people targeting women in slums used the sewer to hide themselves and commit crimes. To enter the sewer, you have to make contact with the guard guarding the entrance to the sewer. I mean, the guard was also an accomplice. The guards who were involved in the evil are being prosecuted simultaneously.

Since then, soldiers honest in their duties have been chosen as guards at the filling station.

"The nobleman who was involved in that case got caught, and it's called karma."

"It's a completely bad story about chest feces, isn't it? I can't believe I'm making money by feeding women and children."

"Well, there's no such thing as a villain."

I don't understand, but the old guard replied.

"No, I don't want to."

The old guard says what he remembers.

"The people who grabbed it. I hear you were testifying to something strange, but have you heard of it?

"Are you begging for your life or something?

"He was attacked by a ghost just before it was caught."

A decent young guard blew out after a while.

"Again. Aren't you trying to surprise me with a story?

"It's eyebrow spit that the ghosts attacked me, and it sounds like the Knights Commander said not to blow it to anyone. You don't have to know."

"Where did you hear that?

"Give me a break from the guy on the line."

Saying so, the old guard showed him a trick to tilt the jock. Apparently, he heard it out in the booze seat. The young guard turns a frightened gaze.

"My mouth is too light for me to be drunk and leak information. If the Knights Commander finds out, I'm sorry I almost reprimanded you."

"It's a story that makes you want someone to listen to just the content."

"Be heard in the middle of the night."

They laughed at each other.

"As a matter of fact, is it true? Didn't you mistake the demon for a ghost?

"It's possible, but I'm talking about turning myself in because of it. Whether ghosts exist or not, it seems true that they saw something ghostly. You think it's the ghost of the woman who grabbed it? Well, of course they resent me. Anyway, some of the victims haven't even found their bodies yet."

The victims were rescued quickly but some did not make it. Some of the victims still suffer from outrageous manipulation that would destroy their human dignity by unsatisfactory behavior even if their lives were saved.

That is why it is natural for people to be resented. Perhaps it's no wonder they turn out to be ghosts.

I heard a noise in the ears of the two silent people. Turn your gaze to the iron door where the noise is different, but there is no abnormality.

"……… What do you think?

We just talked about ghosts. It is only a few, but it is natural to suspect that it may be.

"Didn't the demon break out?

The old guard takes the lantern even as he says so.

For a moment, but what they heard in their ears was the sound of water spilling. But for the sound of sewage flowing, it sounded close.

Stay alert for a while and keep your distance from the door, while you watch. The old guard slowly approached the door urging the young guard to lay down his sword.

I can't hear any noise already. I didn't hear anything when I approached him. The old guard carefully checks the back through the door peephole.

The back is a staircase leading down to the basement, dark and you can't see anything. Even as my eyes got used to it, there was no sign that something was lurking nearby. It is only a sight that does not fall into its heart but is not unusual.

There was nothing unusual about peeking, so the old guard lifted his guard and closed the peephole. When the peephole closes, the sewer is wrapped up in darkness again.

The guards never witnessed the blistering of water in the darkness.

When I was crushing my time in dance practice, I was to be seen with the king of the kingdom of Kastal.

"Raise your face."

Look around you with your kneeling face up so they don't understand you.

There were many ministers from the Kingdom of Castal attending the wide venue. Those people look at me like they deserve to be treated mercilessly.

Not even hostile, but not very favorable from the point of view of reactions close to suspicion. In the case of the Union of the Communes, it was uncomfortable with many favourable gazes which, on the contrary, said respect, but this one was uncomfortable in a different way.

By the way, some of the participants were Mr. Rafael and Mr. Oliver. Since there is a group of people around Mr. Oliver who put together legal clothes, I would expect church officials to be around.

The king is an old man with gray hair. I can't feel more hegemonic than the emperor of the Weixel Empire, but I can feel calm but not moving into anything.

"The matter of Elder Trent's crusade to invade our country was truly daunting. The adventurer, Sora, did his best to save our country. Let me reward you for that."

This is what the king says, but we know what rewards will be given. Actually, Mr. Rafael asked me in advance what kind of reward he wanted. I've already told them what I want and the request has passed.

I mean, what I'm doing right now is like a scripted play. Honestly, I didn't want anything like status or honor, so I'm talking about getting something so that I don't rot later. From what I've heard from Mr. Rafael, it doesn't seem to be a problem, and I'm glad we had a meeting in advance.

"I hear that such a thing worked in the Union of Communes as well. Demonic movements are becoming more active not only in Elder Trent, but also in various countries, and powerful demons seem to be confirmed. When and what time a new demon may strike. A powerful weapon would be needed for humans to confront such demons. Sword if you are a knight. Wand if you are a magician. Kaios, that person is an armed magician. Let's give him a wand. Just a wand to retreat from the threat of another attack."

It was the wand that I asked Mr. Rafael to do. Plus, he's practical, not for etiquette. I've managed to fight before, but it's time for a powerful weapon. But there are no weapons sold that match the level.

If it's a game, there are two ways to acquire powerful weapons. One defeats the Boss Class Demon to get a drop item. But it's limited when it comes to being a boss class that drops that powerful weapon, and you can't defeat it without raising it considerably.

The other way is to gather materials and have them produce weapons. I ask a blacksmith player who is one of the production jobs and can make weapon protection gear to make it, or NPC (Enupysy) to make it to order, but this also has disadvantages and costs a lot of money.

I made little money after going to the Commune without being able to sell the material in the Adventurer Guild. I didn't have the money or the material to get a new weapon.

Besides, it is not uniform to refer to weapons manufacturing techniques depending on the country, but it seems that characteristics are developed depending on the country. It seems that Vixel, whose nobility is a magician and is well versed in magic, is better at making canes, but he doesn't seem to be that good at comunes. Castall doesn't extend to Vixel, he's got better technology than a commune.

Then if the King of Castall gave me an immediate order, I wonder if I could make an awesome wand. Besides, I can digest the reward, so I don't have to get an extra honor or a medal. I think it's a good idea while I'm with two birds.

The sceptre which has been given is a sceptre which pictures the sun. The jewels are worn and the Dragon Seoul is enchanted. Probably the finest of the canes. Obviously enough to draw a line with the cane I've been using so far so that I can see it in my hand. The parameters that actually rise are also misdigits.

But this wand. The item is named "Kaios wand". It's called "Caesar's Wand." I appreciate being the only bespoke wand, but I'm embarrassed to use a wand with my name in it anyway.

The king spoke to me when he took the wand.

"Shake away the darkness of demons like the sun on that wand and bring light to this world"

The king's remarks are feverish. I feel a little exaggerated, but is this also propaganda or something for a kind of war buoyancy? But when I was looking at how to wear a cat in Roslyne's Queen Mode, I wondered if such exaggerated behavior was unnatural. Maybe those in the position of kings are used to acting like that.

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty. The minister would like to ask you a few questions about this. Your Majesty, please forgive me for what my minister has said."

One of the ministers in attendance mentioned that. He seems stubborn. I didn't hear about this.

"Come on."

The king was silent for a while, but in the end he never stopped. I don't know what to do. What are you gonna ask me?

"Well, that's what I wanted to ask you. Is it true that you defeated the Elder Trent demon?"

I questioned that, but I remembered the story of my fake showing up to get rewarded for the Elder Trent crusade. Could that be why you suspect me of being a fake?

"Yes, you're right. Elder, if you check with Lady Rafael, who led the knight during the Trent crusade, you can tell it's true."

"This thing is definitely your Jen who crusaded Elder Trent. There is also a track record of crusading demons such as vampires and golems in the Union of Communes. Her Majesty Queen Roseline has told us that they were all monsters of great power. Let there be two of them."

Mr. Rafael followed me. But the minister apparently didn't want to ask about Shin Kang. I can keep asking another question.

"Okay, let's ask. I hear that you were an adventurer and not an adventurer who joined the Orc Crusaders. If so, why were you alone in the woods where Elder Trent was? Deep in the woods like that. Isn't it amazing to visit alone? Moreover, Sir Lilburn (today) reported that he was familiar with the causes of forest anomalies that occurred when he crusaded Elder Trent. With regard to Elder Trent, we don't know the truth about whether or not I am the evil god because of the lack of information. How did you know so much about such an anonymous demon?"

Oh, you mean that. My heartbeat was buzzing.

As an exotic adventurer, I happen to have information about the monster that accompanies you in a battle with a powerful and unknown monster. There is no such convenient story. You're telling me you just seem like a very suspicious person. He probably thinks he's one of the demons when he's bad at it. Finally, the reason for the ambient reaction without any shards of favor was grasped.

Rather, it would be the right reaction to be suspected this way. In the Commune there was close to Roslyne and her back shield, and she was treated as a benefactor of her life and a hero who saved the Commune.

So there may have been stronger credibility than suspicion and that was suppressed, but there is no such thing in this country. Even if I felt obliged to defeat Elder Trent, I guess I couldn't contain any more suspicion of me.

But we're in trouble. It's the last day of the closed beta test, so I was just trying to take down Elder Trent, the boss, to commemorate it, and Elder Trent's information was all on the offensive site. I can't believe you can believe it.

Let's do something about it. I think about it that way and I realize that I'm losing more and more hesitation in lying, and I try again. I decided to be a hero. You don't act like a hero at all.

"What's the matter with you? If there's nothing nasty about it, there's no need to hide it."

But I can't help but mourn. We have to figure out a reason to convince them on this occasion alone first.

"No, there's nothing nasty about it. Elder, what I know about Trent is that he was told about the demon in my hometown."

The boss of the offensive site mentioned Elder Trent, so it's not a mistake.

"Even though we are anonymous demons who do not know who we are, it was passed down to our homeland."

"Yeah, because it's a nasty demon. The vampires who appeared in the Commune the other day were also powerful enemies, but people would have forgotten that threat. Perhaps because Castall didn't see the demon for a long time either, its existence was forgotten by the people".

"So why were you in the woods?

Sounds like you're looking for coarse from your testimony. It doesn't feel good and unpleasant, but I tried to answer it calmly.

"It's not a big reason. I just happened to be there when I was traveling everywhere."

"Nonsense."

A tone to throw up. I tried so hard to calmly give it back, but it looked like I provoked it. Apparently I wasn't able to control my emotions more than I thought, even if I was meant to be calm.

"I was previously questioned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Weixel Empire, but I travel the world to adventure. I just happened to run into Elder Trent on the road."

"That's bullshit! An armed magician like that conveniently fits into a despicable place? On top of that, I hear you saved Her Majesty's predicament in the Union of Communes and defeated vampires as well. That's what knocked down the giant golem. Caios even there. Even here, Kaios. It is noted and entertained that all of its activities have been carried out. How many such coincidences can happen! What are you up to?

No, it's really all a coincidence. But I don't think this guy is convinced by that. Besides, I didn't feel good either, so I stuck around and spit out the truth.

"You seem to suspect I'm up to something, but what the hell do you think I'm up to?

Lift your mouth. The minister's face is dyed by Zhu. I suspect seeing something I can't argue with, but there doesn't seem to be any certainty. Did you even try to intimidate me and make me confess? Of course I'm not up to anything, even if I have something to hide.

... I don't know which one is the villain anymore.

"Please don't. Lord Kaios is a guest invited by our country. Besides, he is a hero of the Union of the Communes, and a misleading statement by reasoning without solid evidence is not appropriate for this occasion."

Mr. Rafael stops the minister. That was just a statement that went too far, and if you chill your head a little and look around, it doesn't look like it's noisy and not all ministers are in tune with him.

"Be quiet."

One drink of His Majesty the King shut the mouth of the attendees.

"Let's apologize for this disrespectful behavior of my men."

"It's a waste of time. My remarks have gone too far. Forgive me."

Other ministers seemed likely to have something to say, but were never questioned. I guess the King couldn't have steamed the story back more than he himself apologized.

"Let me forgive you for saying that. Okay, you can back off now."

Thus he ended his sight with the king. I made a bad impression on the people in Castall. This is a far cry from the ideal hero.

"Lord Kaios, I'm sorry."

After seeing it, Mr. Rafael apologized to me again.

"Don't worry so much about it. Some demons like vampires couldn't overlook any more suspicions."

"It's a lamentable story, but not many are suspicious of you. I wonder if it's something that I think might be a monster's gesture, or if it's trying to get into the king. Depending on the content of the reward, they might have caused suspicion. So glad it was a cane. It is an honorable reward given directly by the King, and it is as you wish. You can't blame Lord Kaios for that."

I thought you were simply suspicious of me, but apparently that's not all. The Commune said the aristocrats were making a leap to take me away, but the Custom decided they were the other way around threatening their position, and they were wary of me?

I finally figured out the cause, but at the same time I was disgusted. I've never thought about serving Castall. Besides, I haven't said a word about wanting anything but a cane.

He may not have known he was talking to Mr. Rafael and the others beforehand, but he still wanted me to forgive him for being jealous on his own with no roots or leaves.

I visited Roslyne's room before going to the ball. She had a pretty good look on her face. When she found out it was me who came into the room, she stuck her face on the table.

"What is it, Kaios? Don't threaten me."

"That's a terrible word. And you seem pretty tired, but are you okay?"

She seems to be deluded with makeup so much that she doesn't even know it when she looks at it, but she has blemishes under her eyes. Being the guest of honor, she was vigorously present at dinner parties, night clubs and so on, almost for a daily meeting and a face-to-face meeting with the nobility.

In particular, invitations come from various nobles to form friendships with her, the queen. Thanks to you, I've had very little contact with Roslyne since I got here. Probably asleep as soon as I get back to my room, and when I wake up, I go back to work. I wouldn't have had time to rest with all that life.

The royal family had the image of living a luxurious and elegant life, but honestly, it's a working environment like a worker working for a black company the exact opposite of that when it comes to Roslene. It seems far from ideal to say actual royalty.

"This is the first time in history that we have formed an alliance with the two countries of Castal and Vixel. A strong relationship must be built on this. I got to Castall because of this. That's about it."

If it is diplomacy in the first place, it is customary for a high-ranking nobleman to visit it as a monarch's name, and it seems unusual for a heavy town of a nation like Rosline to travel so lightly to another country.

It also implies that the heads of State of the Kingdom of Castal, the Weixel Empire, the Union of the Communes and the three countries come together to inform all citizens that this alliance is important to the three countries.

That's what Roslyne told me before I came to this country, by the way.

"With that said, have you decided on the pseudonym of Vuivre?

"Haven't we talked yet? The name is Maelis. Don't get me wrong."

"Maelice.... Something is normal. I didn't even know I was going to be a human, so I thought I was going to give it a great name."

"No, Rosa was under the pseudonym Roslene, and you're not convincing me to say it."

"Geez, I didn't think of that because it was so aggressive! Oh, no more laughing!

As she escapes the vampire, Roslene panics as soon as she brings out the pseudonym she named me. That's kind of crazy and distorted my mouth.

"Yeah, well, I heard rumors at the night club. One of his ministers blew the trigger with His Majesty the King."

I guess I thought the minutes were bad. Roslene turned the subject away openly. Roslene turns into a grumpy face. Was it even in her ear?

"Mr. Rafael's story is that some of the people in Kastal think I'm suspicious. Besides, he suspects I'm planning on becoming a nobleman or something."

"Suspicion and jealousy………."

Turning away from her grumpy expression, Roslene comes up with something. Was something wrong?

"No, you're a civilian, but you're a hero in a commune. No matter how little Castal sees Caios as a hero as much as the Commune, it's not like he doesn't know where Caios stands in the Commune. I was wondering if you would ignore that and make reckless remarks in public. Not to mention just before you sign an alliance that your country is taking the lead in. If you do something like that in front of a guest called by the King, you might crush the King's face and make your relationship with the Commune worse. It's a little weird for an individual rampage."

I see. I can't imagine the king keeping a minister beside him to make a nagging remark. But it's also unnatural to think that the king dared to give such instructions. It is Castal who is talking about forming an alliance, so there is no need to speak in public about what is likely to be to the detriment of the alliance. Thinking about it, did it have a different purpose?

"I don't know what thoughts they have, but watch out for the trend of the nobles in Castal. If necessary, don't hesitate to tell me or Lord Alexia. Lord Alexia is also the son of a leading aristocrat of the Weixel Empire. They can't do it that easily."

"Oh, that's a little pitiful. They say you're a hero, but you don't want them."

"What are you talking about? I don't know if you're a hero, but I know you don't usually rely on me. Besides, I wouldn't be good at this sort of thing. Like I can't fight. Leave this to us."

Roslene slapped him in the chest. That's the queen. Don't count on me.

"Yes, I asked Lord Alexia. He says he's learning to dance. Then do you want to dance with me at the ball?

"With Roslyne?

"I'm pretty confident."

I'll show you how to dance by hand, but I didn't raise my doubts because I didn't think Roslene could dance.

"That's not what I meant, but would other nobles leave Roslyne alone at the ball before then? Do you have time to dance with me?

"……… I hope you have time."

Roslene lay down disappointed as if the thread had been cut. Apparently, he was conscious.

After finishing the collusion gently, I head with Roslyne to the ballroom. Vuivre is with us. However, it seems that Alexia also interacts with other nobles, and she was to rendezvous at the venue.

"Does Vuivre have to go home over there at night after all"

"Taste is not the only thing you can enjoy eating with this body. Sometimes it's convenient to say it's convenient because you can eat a lot without getting the most bloated. If you disarm it, you can return to the main unit, but it's not inconvenient to have to return to the main unit anyway. There's still room for improvement in this body."

Isn't the character just a convenient thing too? The technique of Vuivre is based on my character. If you disarm it, you can return to the main unit. If you do it again, you can make the character appear at the last disarmed point, but it seems optional to make it appear on the side of the main unit.

"Yeah?"

Vuivre suddenly stops and stares at a point. There are just people there who seem to be attending the ball.

"What's wrong?

"No, I feel like someone's watching me."

Is someone watching you? I look around suspiciously, but there are several participants in the ball, and I can't identify if someone is watching me.

"It's not your fault? Even if it was seen, it would stand out. Wouldn't that really catch your eye?

Vuivre looks different from people, and she's beautiful. I don't think there's much I can do to catch my eye.

"That's not what I meant."

Vuivre laughed at me at the crossroads. She doesn't seem convinced, but she doesn't seem to know or be sure herself.

"But maybe it's the concubine's fault, as the Lord says. How dare this look make me feel dull. I can't even tell my soul apart. Compared to the main unit, my physical abilities are a lot lower. I'm still unfamiliar with this body, so I hope it's completely used."

"That's about normal for humans. Dragons are so much more amazing."

"The difference in race is enormous. That would be the same compared to demons. I think the concubines are amazing, even if they are different, but I think the humans are more amazing when they have the courage to confront the mighty species."

It's not like a bunch of noble ladies standing around talking to Vuivre about that. They're obsessed with talking about whether they don't realize we exist. I happen to have something in my ear that I'm whispering as I pass by.

"I think she was talking to His Majesty earlier. I never thought she'd be in that position."

"What are we going to do? She also attends this ball. I'm sorry they didn't know I was bullying her at school in this social setting."

"What are you guys talking about?

Unlike the girls who were talking like trouble, another girl replies with a voice that seemed sincerely strange.

"The premise is wrong in the first place. We didn't bully her."

"Huh?"

"Okay? She didn't have any friends at the school at the time. That's not why we were so worried about her. If we were bullying in the first place, the school teacher wouldn't have left us alone. Teachers will testify that even if someone asks, there was no bullying."

"... yes, that's the thing. Sure, we just cared about that kid who was introverted and seemed lonely. So there's no reason to blame me."

"Yeah, we were just acting like her friends. Other loving jokes between friends, though some people may have seemed to make fun of her. Have a little fun. If she thinks she's being bullied for it, it's just a little too much of a joke. I didn't mean to do that, but there was no fine dust. But I can't help it. She didn't have any friends until she met us. I don't know how to deal with friends. That's why you mistake your friends for bullying each other. We overestimated her. I don't care how many friends I don't have, I don't know if I can read that much air. I might have to apologize for that."

"Right. Just a little bit of a joke passed. I'd rather you thank me for what I've always cared about."

"Yeah, you're right. Sounds like that kid has a lot of opportunities to deal with His Majesty. Because of this, I think I should introduce her to His Majesty as a friend at school."

The cheeky, high laughing girls went away.

"Hmm, you totally thick-faced, shameless bastards. Bad chest feces."

Vuivre snorted in a grumpy manner.

Take a glimpse of what's behind them. But they were drunk by a wave of people.

Is it something that can justify my mistakes that far? No, maybe it's because I can say words that are fine and heartless. The people I met in this world were blessed with good people, but some of them are like this.
