Unmotivated Hero's Tale

"All the world is nothing..." Yeah, I was wondering what would happen when I first came to the Empire, but if I were to say I could relax so much, I should have come sooner. "

"Right. Well, I just wanted you to remember that it's time for me to do some clerical work around Reis. I guess I could say it was just the right opportunity."

Alex had left all the relatively unnecessary administrative work of his authority to Reis this time.

Unlike Yui, of course, the mangler, Alex waved his job in anticipation of his growth.

But Reyce, who was thrown a job, was the feather of doing a three-man job crying every day because of the devastating deskwork of his direct boss, Hoot.

"But it's been a long time since I've relaxed with you like this. I guess since I was a student."

"Hehe, yui. If you're that free, give me a little of my --"

"Say no!"

Sooner than Alex goes on with his words, Yui speaks out of rejection in a strong tone.

"Wait. You haven't said anything yet."

"You don't have to tell me. That's why I said no."

Yui, who almost certainly found it to be an invitation to the training of the sword, once again rejected it clearly with a sinister face.

"But if you didn't deal with me, you wouldn't have my opponent. This is how I'm sparing time, and you know what, I could use a little help with that, right?

"If I pair up with you, I'll definitely be more tired than working all night..."

When Yui shook his neck to the left and right and said so, Alex pulled back shrugging his shoulders just because he had no choice. But in that same grin as always, it was definitely seeping through the shame.

That's how Yui begins to look through the book at hand again, and Alex resumes his meditation by closing his fox eyes as if they were originally meditated.

The office was visited by silence, creating a space entirely out of business hours.

However, such silence is undone by a sudden knock to the door of the room within a few hours.

"Ha, my God!

It was Lace who was busily killed by administrative work and creating a terrible beard under her eyes who showed up in a hurry to roll in from the outside.

"What's the matter, Reis? I can't believe the world has to be so hasty on such a beautiful day...... wait, nothing right now. 'Cause I remember some bad old memories."

In a period not long after returning to the King's Capital, Yui revives the memory of Eince rushing down to him in a hurry to undo his own remarks along the way.

But just that it wasn't such a finding out about Yui's circumstances or anything, Reyce opened her mouth with a look that couldn't hide the upset.

"No, not if you're saying that. Here, here, here."

"Here?"

Yui gives a look of surprise to Reis, who repeats the same words.

Then Reyce uttered a word out of its mouth that Yui had not imagined.

"His Majesty the Emperor... His Majesty the Emperor of Kelm is here. Visit Dr. Yui!

"Ha... what are you talking about? Because I'm an emperor. I'm not just a nobleman like Eince or anything. You don't have to show up with a leopard like that."

Feeling that he might have worked too hard to make Reis crazy, Yui stares at him with a look at the poor guy.

Meanwhile, Alex, who heard Yui's statement next door, said in the same tone as usual, "No, Ains, you're quite a grand nobleman, too," with a sober penetration in his mouth.

Desperate for such a reaction between Yui and Alex, Rayce shook his head left and right with a boom just saying it wasn't the other way around, pointing to the lobby and opening his mouth again.

"No, but they're already downstairs --"

"I'm sorry to take you in, but if you'll excuse me for a moment,

In the form of sliding through the side of the mundane Lace at the entrance, the prestigious old man appears inside the room holding the offerings back in the hallway.

Yui, who obviously saw the priceless standing, opened his mouth to the fearful man as he drew his expression in contradiction to what Reyce had just said.

"... Um, let me ask you something, who is it?

"Preliminary? Well, it wasn't a long time before people asked me my name."

"Oh, um..."

At the time the word pre was uttered, a conclusion had been reached in Yui. But the thought of no way still makes me hesitant to accept that answer.

The silver-haired man, who saw such a look at Yui, said his own name in a grand manner when he smiled niggardly.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous. I'll give you a name if you ask. Prep is the eighth emperor of the Kelm Empire, Rialto von Kelm."

"... Ri, Sire Rialto. Ho, is it real? Excuse me for this."

Seeing its majestic name, which no one but the Emperor will ever be able to do, Yui hurries to bow his head and apologize, omitting his own rude remarks.

"is good. It was a prerequisite to visit your Lord all of a sudden, even illegally. Take it easy."

"Ha ha..."

In response to the perfectly unintentional behavior and visit of the emperor, Yui shows confusion with a troubled look on his face.

How he received such Yui's mood, the emperor laughed and opened his mouth to Yui.

"Well, if you like, I'd like to offer you some tea, and let me talk to you slowly, but what do you say?

"Yes. Immediately...... Reis!

In response to an unexpected Rialto statement, Yui immediately turns his gaze to Reis.

"Wow, I get it. I'll have it with you soon."

When Reyce said so after looking at the two faces alternately, he rushed outside the room with a rolling momentum again.

"Phew... um, Clarice's coffee is quite delicious. It's not something that comes into our country."

Sitting back on the couch, Rialto grinned satisfactorily as he slowly carried the coffee Rayce had rushed to his mouth.

"Ha, when it comes to commerce, Clarice is not quite a bad location. So it's not often that good things like this come in"

"Hmm, that's a good thing. Unfortunately, we don't get this much in our country. Don't you feel like you know that you've craved such land as prey?

"What a hard thing to answer..."

In response to Rialto's inquiry, Yui shows her weakness as she scratches her head.

Seeing his tricks like that, the emperor laughed and said an apology to him.

"Ha, this is rude. I didn't take my feet to declare war. It's just tea and drink today. Half of it is just a joke, so take it easy."

"Ha... So how did you get your feet here today?

As Yui grins bitterly and asks as such, the emperor answers him with a meaningful grin.

"Then you're here to talk tea and drink. I heard rumors that you were free."

"Where did it leak from, the hell..."

The emperor gives a delightful look to Yui, who inadvertently uttered such a grunt with a vegetarian expression.

"Hehe, you don't seem to know what you're worth. Everyone's watching, you know... That's why we're having tea and drink today."

"... what does that mean?

Not knowing what Rialto means, Yui tilts his neck and inquires.

In response to that reaction, Rialto showed a slight way of thinking, and he asked Yui the other way.

"Hmm, let's assume we had a formal meeting. If that were the case, how many people would have noticed the conversation?

"That will depend, of course, on the purpose and content of the talks...... I might have to pay attention to Clarice and Kelm, as well as people around the Novamim Autonomy"

Yui mouths his own answer after just a few thoughts.

But Rialto, hearing the words of Yui, shook his neck twice, left and right, just because he didn't understand.

"Is that all you need? If we were to hold formal talks, Rhindle, Filament, Emor, and those who breathed Kisletin would be swamped on the spot. And the content of the story is instantly conveyed to countries by their hands. That's why we're talking tea and drink."

"Ha... I wouldn't deny it as a possibility, but it's a meeting with an ambassador from a small country who doesn't even have the right to make decisions. Aren't you overthinking it?"

"Do you think someone who holds the lifeline of a country would call himself an ambassador who has no right to decide?"

Listening to Yui's remarks, Rialto says so when he hoists the right corner of his mouth slightly.

"... what does that mean"

"Don't blur. Did you think Prep didn't know that a large number of demonic stones were being brought into the Empire from Lemuriak through Novamim? Already part of our economy depends on Lemuriak. Don't tell me you're holding the lifeline, but what do you call it?"

When Yui takes Rialto's strong gaze, he admits the remark, shrugging his shoulders and just surrendering.

"We've just started flowing into the Empire around an unorthodox back route. But have you reached us yet?"

"That's not how little demon stone circulation originally existed within the Empire. Well, I don't mean to say anything about intermediated vendors, but basically I appreciate the accommodation."

The emperor conveys his gratitude to Yui, even though he nails it for being via the Omersen Chamber of Commerce connected to the Dark Society.

Yui, on the other hand, with a bitter laugh, also uttered his thanks to Emperor Kelm in front of him.

"No, I'm just talking about saying that even as far as I'm concerned, the big seller happened to be an empire. Thank you, there's nothing to be thankful for."

"Heh heh, that was humble. Nothing. You could have come out a little stronger. Well, maybe I just didn't dare... whoa, I didn't come to talk to you about that today"

"Ha... So what the hell can I do for you?

Yui turns to Rialto, wondering if the matter would be military if it wasn't a commercial story.

But the content emanating from Rialto's mouth was completely out of bounds of Yui's expectations.

"Actually, there's a party scheduled in twenty days. I wanted to invite you to that party this time."

Yui's reaction is delayed for a moment in response to Rialto's invitation, which has no clap. And with a surprising look on his face, he gave an irresistible reaction to the confusion.

"Is it a party…"

"Uhm."

"Of course I will join you in that. But with His Majesty's invitation, I didn't have to bother to take you so far, and as an ambassador to Clarice, I would have given you an invitation."

Yui had no intention of being the emperor in front of him.

Emperor Rialto.

The rare Great Emperor skilfully used matrimonial policy and military power to elevate Kelm, who was nothing more than a middle-aged nation in the western part of the continent, to the status of two powerful nations in one generation.

Since his reign, the territory of the Kelm Empire has more than doubled, with the exception of just one defeat, Kelm had never lost a war against another country.

None of Rialto himself goes directly into battle, and he himself does not acknowledge his ability as a commander on the battlefield.

His true value was so much in the political power to form a strategic and strategic advantage that he was even said to be victorious at the point of battle in the war against other countries.

That's why Yui felt uncomfortable that this great emperor, who was supposed to be pursued day and night in politics, had come to himself just to invite him to a party.

"No, I didn't just come to ask you out. As a matter of fact, I was wondering if I could get a gift from Lord Istartz to serve as a bridge between our empire and Clarice's future friendship at this party. In short, I'm here to root for it."

"... I see, is that so? If so, I will gladly give you something to commemorate Clarice."

Yui was sometimes anxious to see what he would be told, and gave a look of relief for a moment, accepting a request from the emperor lightly.

"Right. Ha, I didn't expect you to be comfortable. That's the rare hero hall. Your heart is wide open."

"No, even then...... so I'm the guest of honor who makes the gift, but who is it?

Yui asks Rialto about the giver because she has to decide on the content of the gift.

Rialto then slightly drifted his gaze into the universe, slowly opening his mouth.

"Um, you're a woman with preliminary eyes. Quite a beautiful woman."

"Ha... are you a woman? Okay, let me think about something that will please you."

Now that she knows her gender, Yui begins to think that this will help her narrow down her gifts somewhat. And before he could ask for further details, Rialto opened his mouth without letting his hair in.

"Well, will you? Thank God I came all the way out here for tea and drink."

"That's... Hi"

"Hehe, then let me excuse you with this. Don't come back."

"What?"

Yui faces the remark that he has just arrived and is already leaving, and that he will come here again.

But even while he was surprised, Rialto started walking straight to the door as he rose off the couch.

Soon after Yui stops, Rialto suddenly stops at the door knob. And he opened his turning mouth toward Yui, as if to tell him what he had forgotten.

"Yeah, well, I forgot to tell you, his daughter's name is Miriam. I'll see you at the party."

When he said so, Rialto walked away from the front of Yui with a satisfied grin.

Yui, thus left on the spot, speaks his honest thoughts toward Alex, who had refrained behind him as an escort.

"... you deserve to be a disease wrath. He appeared refreshed and returned refreshed."

"You know... yui. You made it easy for me. Are you sure?

"What?

Alex asks Yui in a reluctant tone that they are not the only ones.

On the other hand, Yui on the side of the questioned, not knowing why Alex reacts, tilts his neck with a kyotonic look.

"No, a gift for Miriam"

"Dear Miriam? Does Alex know about her?

Yui gave a surprised look at Alex's remarks about the woman.

Alex, who sees that Yui reaction, gives a look like he didn't know after all.

"When it comes to the beautiful Miriam that His Majesty the Emperor is eyeing, I think it's probably about the Fourth Empress Miriam von Kelm..."

"Fourth princess... I wonder if that means your majesty's daughter..."

"Well, she's an empress."

When Yui heard Alex's words, he exhaled a loud sigh as he stepped straight into the table in front of him.

"Damn...... this is going to have to seriously consider a gift"

Yui muttered so in a tired tone, unable to wake her body off the spot, as if it were a broken octopus.
