Dimensional Apartment Manager

As a 'dragon slayer', Jiuye, who has indeed done this, can provide enough stable protection for the nobles, I believe they all think so.

In addition, Jiuye and Princess Pingna seem to have a close relationship, and they instantly turned into a delicious cake in the eyes of these nobles. Whoever reaches out first can get more and taste fresh cream.

But Jiuye is not implying that he is the real cake, even if he really wants to be licked, he will never let these nobles do it.

"Good evening, sir. I heard that you knocked down the black dragon that invaded the town. Is this true or false?"

As if to confirm Jiu Ye's conjecture, a middle-aged man with a wine glass came over.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to my town and have a look. There should still be dragon meat and scales there."

"No, no, since Her Royal Highness agrees with Your Excellency's achievements, my doubts are therefore quite stupid; as the person in charge of the market on the east side of the Imperial Capital, I hope that Your Excellency can come to my mansion to have a good chat when you are free."

"Because most of my town has been destroyed, I happen to be short of some supplies. I will go there next time I have time."

Before Jiu Ye finished speaking, the person who joined the conversation with the typical opening remarks of "In that case..." was a short, long-bearded aristocratic man.

"I have a large wheat field and a lot of grain reserves. If necessary, I can sell them at a low price. If you have any questions, please call me."

"It really helped a lot."

The nobles introduced themselves one by one, which made Jiuye feel like he was on a blind date; but he himself didn't have a good impression of nobles and ladies.

It's not because Jiuye hates the rich, it's just because most of them are old... The young noble girls are very arrogant and don't want to talk to Jiuye.

Occasionally, there will be young nobles who chat with Jiuye under the orders of their parents, but they are all quickly dismissed by Princess Pinna.

Jiuye can already confirm that Princess Pingna regards herself as her BL friend...

How to put it, it feels like a beautiful girl saying to herself 'Can I be your friend?Because I like your good friend! 'This feeling is a bit similar to "Love in the Shura Field" in terms of situation.

Jiuye made up his mind that if Princess Pingna asked herself about BL next time, she would do the behavior on the screen to her again.

"Toast a glass of wine to our dragon-slaying hero! Such a feat is rarely seen in a hundred years!"

Marquis Duxi also joined in. While celebrating his daughter's birthday, he did not forget to curry favor with Jiuye, probably because he wanted to improve the relationship with Princess Pinna.

Jiu Ye, who raised his wine glass, took a sip of the mellow wine and saw that Izayoi was talking to a few girls. He didn't know if he was gathering information or picking up girls.

"Ooh! Get up!"

Probably because he hasn't been surfing recently, Jiuye rolled up his sleeves and kept clinking glasses with the nobles. The swaying wine was like the moonlight reflected on the lake, gradually becoming dreamy.

His head was slightly dizzy, and Jiuye felt that someone was supporting him, it was the red-haired princess.

Ping Na roughly poured the tea into Jiuye's mouth, and Jiuye, who drank some tea into his stomach, suddenly became more awake.

The shaking glazed chandelier became clearer, and the candle that seemed to be exuding fragrance had been half burned, but there was no sign of the end of the banquet.

Marquis Dusi's daughter began to distribute desserts, but when she handed a candy to Princess Pinna, she skipped Jiuye.

Oops~ It's not that Jiuye doesn't know what this little girl is thinking, probably because she thinks that she stole the limelight from her birthday protagonist.

Looking at the back of the somewhat arrogant little girl, Jiuye simply drank the tea that Ping Na gave him in one gulp.

"Hmm, cough, cough...!"

"Are you drunk? Me, I'll let Izayoi take you to the room to have a good rest."

"Don't take me for a fool."

I don't know when, Princess Pingna has already started to collect CP.

"Mr. Jiuye, do you have time to talk outside?"

"No, there's no problem, Mr. Sugawara."

Hisuha patted Pina on the head, treating her as Izuna to comfort her, and took a moment to glance at Izayoi to confirm that he hadn't messed up before leaving the banquet with Sugawara.

As a dragon slayer and a hero, Jiu Ye was followed by many people, so Sugawara brought him to the upper level.

"Second Lieutenant Itami is looking for you."

"Find me?"

Seeing the communicator Sugawara took out, Jiu Ye realized that the Self-Defense Forces had completely infiltrated the imperial capital.

He patted his cheeks with his hands to make himself more awake, and the drunken Jiuye returned to normal the next moment.

The drunkenness just now was actually a bit of acting. Showing weakness at that time can often get more favor from the nobles, making them think that they are easy to get along with.

"So what happened?"

"The Self-Defense Forces were attacked while they were out on a mission. I don't know the details. I'm not responsible for that aspect."

"Okay, let me listen."

Jiu Ye was holding the walkie-talkie, and there was the sound of wind, and then Itami's voice.

[Jiuye? !Can you hear me? 】

"It's me, it's me, it's not a fraud."

【No time to joke with you!Your companion attacked the Self-Defense Forces!A team is completely wiped out!Speed ​​back!Get things done! 】

"This... I know."

It is meaningless to continue asking, Jiuye intends to ask clearly in person.

"how?"

"It's nothing."

Hearing Sugawara's question, Jiu Ye smiled and waved his hands.

"It's just a guy making trouble."

Big event?nonexistent!

Then--

"Izayoi!! Find the teacher and fight with me!!!"

Chapter 45: Smart NPCs and the Unsmart Ways

The person who made trouble is the devil, so the person who attacked the Neon Self-Defense Force and wiped out one of the opponent's action teams is also the devil.

Although Jiuye was called by Itami to help, it was still a bit inconvenient to set off that night; neither the nobles were taken care of nor military vehicles, so Jiuye decided to go to the place designated by Itami to meet him the next morning.

In order for Jiuha to keep in touch with Itami, Sugawara gave Jiuha his backup communicator, but his face was full of distrust.

"The Marquis Ducey has agreed to our request, and he will stand with His Excellency Cicero on the side of the peace party; if these two famous councilors and nobles change their minds, believe that those local nobles who rely on them, Fu Jia and some knights will support them."

"As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Compared with being crushed by the collapsed wall, they are more willing to be the ones who push down the wall. It's easy to understand."

When the banquet was coming to an end, Ping Na, who was standing in the corner of the restaurant, was talking with Sugawara, and Jiu Ye, who was on the side, was the guests and nobles who took their place.

Izayoi ran out from a group of girls, and the invincible protagonist handed what looked to be honey-covered chicken legs together with a plate to Jiu Ye, claiming that the dish tasted good.

"I said Jiuye, what did you mean when you said you were going to fight? You also want to call that bald head together? Where are you going?"

"Don't ask me this kind of question on purpose, okay? You obviously know it? Although this different world is not a high-magic world, there are still relatively powerful dragons, magicians, etc., but those things that are difficult for us. It doesn't make sense to say it... So who is the opponent to be settled, I believe you don't need me to say more to understand."

"I fought with that guy a little before, and he obviously didn't look like that kind of strong person, but in the end, he was a bit out of specification in every way."

"It's reasonable, it's not your turn to say this sentence, the person who tears up the different space with his hands is also very suspenseful?"

Jiuye put the honey-coated chicken drumstick into his mouth, and it was so sweet for a while, but then the spicy sauce smelled out of his mouth, which was very strange.

Immediately afterwards, in order to 'persuade' more people to join her camp, Princess Pingna asked Jiuye to accompany her to talk to those people.

It felt like a mafia boss bringing bodyguards to collect protection fees. The aristocrats and businessmen expressed their support for Ping Na's future policies and actions.

"As expected of Her Highness Ping Na, it is our blessing to have such a powerful partner as a dragon slayer, and I will take care of you in the future."

"Ah, you don't need to be too polite. When you are in trouble, it is the most correct way for everyone to support each other; now that the empire is recovering after the war, it is not a bad idea to change the antagonistic relationship with the original enemy, right? It is also a new attempt. .”

"That's right, that's right, the war has promoted the development of the weapons industry, but our Tool Merchant Association has no future for development. We are already short of manpower, and because of the war..."

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will try to avoid war as much as possible."

The main battle faction of the empire is actually a group of opportunistic, self-important guys. Of course, there are also some knights and generals who fight purely for glory, but once they realize the strength of the enemy, they will probably persist foolishly.

At present, the person who is the high wall in front of them is Jiuye. After they recognized the identity of "Dragon Slayer", basically no one had the idea of ​​resisting Ping Na.

Ships always want a reliable port, and in a storm like Empire and Neon, it's the smart thing to do.

"Thank you for your help. Those people are all afraid of you, and some knights are secretly looking at you. Is it very interesting to you?"

"Princess Pingna is joking again, what are you going to do next?"

"There is nothing special, and the banquet is about to end. Let's leave first, and there is nothing to do if we stay here. Didn't His Highness Skavala call you over just now? Are you in trouble?"

"Don't worry, I have to go to help tomorrow, and I can take a rest now."

"Don't go to another place and get drunk."

The people who left the table first got into the carriage outside the mansion, and the female knights who were in charge of escorting them guarded the carriage and headed towards Pinna's house.

The imperial palace is located on the easternmost side of the five hills in the imperial capital, on the hillside of the hill named Satyrai.

The house on the east side is where she was assigned to live. Compared with living in a hotel, entertaining Jiu Ye and others to her own territory can ensure safety.

Before that, Jiuye planned to take a stroll with Izayoi, and as for helping Itami, it might have to be delayed for a while.

"Where are you going?"

"Split up and act separately, let's collect information, all aspects."

Jiu Ye answered Izayoi's question, and then pointed to the east, meaning that he was in charge of the east.

"By the way, Jiuye, don't go to Fengsu Street."

"Don't say such meaningless words, where is the custom street? How do you know?"

"Let's meet in a while, I'm also very interested in the imperial capital of this different world."

So the two split up.

----

The night in the imperial capital is still resplendent and resplendent. There are glass lamps hanging on the streets, which have just been filled with oil and are burning vigorously.

Since Jiuye's clothes are very simple, it is not as eye-catching as before, and it is easy to hide his figure in the crowd.

but……

"Three people?"

Five minutes later, Jiu Ye felt something strange.

It seems that they were not sent by the Neon Self-Defense Force, but a group of people close to mercenaries, that is to say... Was it sent by a certain nobleman?

Arriving at the small river, the canal stretches to the end of the field of vision in the dark, and Jiuye is going upstream along the river. It is a sparsely populated neighborhood, and it looks like a small farmland in the city.

The three mercenaries hidden in the bushes walked around to the front and jumped out after confirming that there was no one else around.

"Finally we took the opportunity, you guy is blocking our way of making money, right?! If it wasn't for you and that princess, how could the nobles who hired us to join the army give up! Making peace is a coward's way! "

The bloody mercenary looked angry, and the younger brother beside him reminded his boss.

"Brother, the Marquis said that he wants to keep alive, even if he is a liar, he has to be brought to the Marquis."

"Of course I know, no need to remind."

The mercenary held his breath and pulled out the saber from his waist, ready to threaten his target.

Jiu Ye, who ignored the three mercenaries, admired the idea of ​​the unknown nobleman. Now that his interests are being violated, it is indeed smart to grasp the source, but it is a mistake to use force as a means.

It would be useful for that nobleman to fabricate that Jiuye is a liar, a devil, etc., but if he wants to face hard steel, he has to express his sympathy...

"Wait, go back and tell the 'Marquis' you are talking about. As an NPC, don't even think about making trouble."

"Are you sure you want to resist? Your companion has already been captured by us! He is being taken to the place of detention!"

"My companion?"

Could it be Izayoi?Izayoi was taken to their base?

What a pity, Jiuye began to look at them with caring eyes.

Chapter 46 Hero!Let's get started!

"Does Your Excellency Jiuye plan to leave the imperial capital today? If you have any needs, please tell me. I know a lot of noble children in the imperial capital, and some are handsome knights. They all seem to be the kind who can attack and transform." man."
