Unmotivated Hero's Tale

The first civil unrest since the founding of the Rhindle came to an end seven days early. Sable, the king's capital, which was temporarily at the extremes of chaos, had also acknowledged the full healing of King Aluminum's disease and a more rapid restoration of order after the declaration of an end to civil unrest had been made.

It did not fix it, but was a true indication that dissatisfaction with the muracian scene had filled the country and that trust in the king had been thick. In the rhindle, where light began to plunge so rapidly into the country, Yui, a diplomatic ambassador from Clarice, had a single letter in his hand, with a deep sigh.

It was a protégé requesting a meeting as a diplomat over aluminum, and he was reluctantly on his way to the Royal Palace to hold talks.

"I've been bad at it for a long time, nobility, royalty. I was wondering if someone could take my place."

Yui walks along the long corridor leading to the king's designated gaze room with an unpleasant look on his face. Then Clary, walking next door, opened his mouth to embarrass Yui.

"Ha, how many times do I do it today? As I have said many times, both Lute's husband and Alex's husband have gone back to Clarice, so they must be replacing their husbands."

"That's true... but don't you think those guys are worthless friends too? I can't believe we're going home to Clarice by pushing all the aftermath on me."

Yui was so foolish just to say he was cowardly about Lute and Alex, who had just returned home after the battle with Muracene.

"Didn't you just force your husband to borrow it while he was busy because he wasn't talented enough originally? If those two fall out for too long, I'm sure the SS captain's hair will get thinner."

Clary gave his thoughts on his hard work when he imagined the look on Eince's face when he was taken with Lute and Alex.

"I don't know about that...... when I'm younger, buy me a hard time. But it's what old people used to say, hey"

"Then my husband is younger than me, so buy me a little harder."

In response to the remarks of the young man's superior officer, Clary groans so with a frightened glance.

"Is that me? I'm fine, because my heart is old."

"What about that as an excuse..."

As usual, Clary sighs out loud at what his superiors say, and finally arrives at the designated chamber of sight. In front of that room were two Kingsguards and the other day a figure of Malfes lined up shoulders on the battlefield.

"Hey, long time no see."

"Mr. Malfez, you look... you're back in the Kingsguard"

Unlike the somewhat disfigured outfit at the resistance, Yui said so when he saw Malfes wrapping around his full-body designated Kingsguard outfit.

"Well. I've been out of the royal palace for about two years now, and I'm not sure if I should go back... Your Majesty has asked me to. After all, it's the original sheath."

Just for Christ's sake. Malfez slowly sweeps his neck to the left and right as he spreads his arms wide.

"To say the original sheath was returned to Kingsguard, wasn't it? Should I say congratulations on this?

"Come on, I don't know"

Malfez replies so with a bitter laugh, he shifts his gaze toward his men. Then the soldier, who had reported Yui's arrival to the king, nodded all the time that he was ready.

"Well, you can either talk about me. Your Majesty's already waiting inside, so get inside."

That said, when he knocks on the door of the room and takes confirmation, he opens the entrance door intact. As such, it was passed into the chamber, and what was pictured in Yui's eyes was Kyle, who greeted Yui while standing upright, and an aluminum figure sitting on the couch.

"Mr. Yui. Long time no see."

Waiting for Yui to arrive, now or now, Kyle turned to Yui with a slightly surprising look and a full grin.

"... oh well. Kyle... No, Kayla was the first prince of this country."

"Ha, please stop. Anyway, officially, I'm usually more than happy to have Kyle and I call him off as we've always been."

Towards Yui, who showed a somewhat awed attitude, Kyle told him so, Yui unwittingly twisted his neck.

"In an official setting...... so this time I asked you as Clarice's diplomatic ambassador?

Based on Kyle's response, Yui feels that there is a huge discrepancy between the sight he initially had in mind and this space, and asks that towards the aluminum.

"Oh, that's a lie. I've asked a lot of people, but I've heard they have a habit of avoiding trouble. So when it comes to working as an ambassador, I thought you'd make a face."

"That's again... But if it's what Aluminum called me, even if you were honest from the beginning, I would naturally have given it to you."

In Aluminum's remarks, for a moment Yui gave a weak look as if he had been poked at a drawing star. But as soon as he regains his mind, he replies so with a bitter laugh.

"Ha, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to fool anyone. I just wanted to thank you for this. Lord Istarts, for this time, I am most grateful for this aluminum."

Aluminum bows his head deeply to Yui if he says so. Then, in a hurry, Kyle, his son, also bowed his head toward Yui.

To the royal reaction, which he did not anticipate, Yui, stiff on the spot for a moment, pulled back too two steps of fear in the next moment, rushing his hands out in front of his body, begging them to stop bowing their heads toward them.

"No, please don't. Dear aluminum, and so is Kyle. There are soldiers of the Kingsguard right outside."

"Don't worry about it. He's not just a Clarice hero anymore, he's a Rhindle hero. For a hero, there will be no problem where the king has shown his gratitude. Not to mention the fact that they're not my men."

Aluminum said so, smiling with nymmari, Yui scratched her head twice like she was weak.

"That's right...... I'm not a hero or anything, I am. This time I just came to bring my goddaughter back, just a teacher of pull rates."

"Heh heh, you're a pull teacher. Is that why you came all the way to this country? I thought I told them to move personnel."

Yui was honestly impressed by the fact that aluminum, who had just returned, was grasping the contents of his talks with Murasene and understood that control of the country was being restored.

"Did you even hear that already? Well, I was the principal of the cadet school at Clarice. It is true that we have been sent to this land to bring back the abducted students."

"I see. But it doesn't look like you're lying, but I thought you had something to aim for besides that.

In response to the aluminum with a meaningful look on his face, Yui listened back as he did, without expressing his inner agitation on his face.

"... you say?

"Perhaps their true aim was to prevent a line-dollar threat to Clarice? More precisely, it would be to prevent the possibility of a hard-line murky scene invading the falling claris of the state. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine how many abducted students the upper echelons would send out of the country."

From that statement Yui understood that the aluminum had accurately read the aim he had considered as a by-product of this journey. And with that, when the aluminum smiles bitterly at what it misunderstands, it sends its gaze to Clary, who sits next to it. Then he also smiled bitterly at Yui.

"My husband will be appreciated here."

"Absolutely. To the greats of our country, even though they are scattered..."

When Yui groaned so with a sigh, the aluminum gave him a suspicious look and asked Yui.

"Hmm, what the hell is that supposed to mean?

"I just heard rumors, too, that Mr. Yui doesn't seem to be treated very well in Clarice. It may be rude to say this, because... Mr. Yui is not a nobleman"

Kyle reluctantly explains that to the aluminum with a seemingly sorry look toward Yui. The aluminum then gave a frightened look and complained.

"Ha... that's a totally stupid story. Well, if that's better, why don't you serve our country? If that's what you want, we'll have a treatment just commensurate with your abilities."

"Right, if it's okay with a three-meal nap...... I know, Clary. Don't look at me like that."

Yui, who felt a harsh gaze from next door, said so, taking his gaze off in the opposite direction.

"Not at all... I'm talking about my husband, so it's easy to get caught off guard."

"Even a joke, don't take me too seriously. Dear Aluminum, I appreciate your offer, but I'm sorry."

When Yui turned back to the aluminum, he expressed his willingness to reject him as he asked for his expression.

"Why then, if Kayla and her men react correctly, isn't it hard to say that they are appreciated correctly?

"Perhaps so. But I have given you a degree of trouble to live, and more importantly, because my parents sleep in that land. And to be very rude, there's just been a domestic mess using magicians from Filament heavily. If someone from Clarice were to take on the top of the state, there could be further confusion."

When Yui says so with a look of sorry, the aluminum hands on his chin and thinks slightly.

"Mmmm... right. Then let's give up on them for a while now. I would have liked to have you work as the right arm of the new king, which will be announced next month."

"" Eh!

To that casual utterance of aluminum, those who were in that space raise an unexpected voice of surprise.

"Naturally. Washi has been vacant in state politics for two years, and he can't be said to be in perfect physical condition. It is not surprising, then, that he leads the resistance and leaves it to his son, who was responsible for the rebuilding of this country."

"Your Majesty..."

Kayla stares at her father, Aluminum, with a slightly anxious look on her face. Then the aluminum had a soft grin and opened its mouth towards him.

"It's Kayla. You're still young. But I think that's all that's possible. And trust those who supported you in your plight, and rebuild this country. Yes, in a country where the man in front of you would be happy to serve you."

"... ok. I'm not a shallow scholar, but as far as I can tell, I'm here to protect this country."

Keep your head down and let the words bore you slightly, but that's what Kyle said. Prepared for that, the aluminum turns to Yui with the expression of a parent who boasts of his son when he smiles full face.

"Well, I said so. Heh, now I can live the rest of my life in peace. Well, Istarz, I envy you."

"Yeah, really limitless"

When Yui answered that concisely in two ways, he grinned back at the aluminum.

"So shall we do the last job of the eagle? Well, as I was telling you first, I didn't ask you to come out here to thank them. Later, as a crocodile, I want to reward them with something."

"Reward…"

As Yui replied like a parrot return, the aluminum nodded loudly once with a grin.

"Oh, yeah. Whether the purpose is to help a kidnapped student or to protect Clarice, the result is a hero who has contributed a great deal to this country. If there's any hope, if it's possible for me, I want to do whatever I can to make it happen. Now, is there any hope?

"No, I'm from another country, so I can't be sweet with such favors..."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. It's more because you're from another country. Because I don't want to be called an ungrateful nation that doesn't reward our country's benefactor."

To Yui's words and actions as he tries to resign, the aluminum laughs lavishly, urging Yui to express hope again.

"No, if you get something directly, it could be like taking a bribe from another country... Oh, wait a minute. If you don't mind, sweeten up to your words. Just one favor."

Don't hesitate to say it.

Yui had managed to resign for a reason, but when the existence of something unintentionally turns his head, he tries to make a policy shift as soon as possible.

"Actually, there was one thing that was lost to force majeure in cooperating with the Resistance's activities this time... so, if it was possible, I was hoping you could use it again."

"Hmm, something that's been lost? I am truly sorry that you used it for me, but that mirror of past photographs is not our technology..."

From Yui's words and deeds, which he said were lost, the aluminum used to help him, and when the presence of a mirror of a corrupted past copy floated behind his brain, he said so with regret.

"No, I don't care about that stuff. Actually, it's not that, it's something else a little bigger..."

Yui shook his head to the left and right and reluctantly said so, the aluminum smiled back as soon as possible and asked Yui again.

"Something else? Hmm, anything but that would do. Aye, okay. Let's promise to repair what they want. So what the hell am I supposed to fix?

Listening to the words of the aluminum, Yui grinned bitterly as she scratched her head and, after a beat, gave her the name of something no one on the spot had expected.

"No, you're right... you've got our embassy... if you could fix it up a little... I'd really appreciate it."
