Unmotivated Hero's Tale

The party was later only to be adjourned, and as people began to dwindle little by little, Yui was called out to those who used Rialto.

And Rialto would be guided toward the waiting room, and after a short walk, Yui saw the emperor restlessly quivering outside the room.

"For once, he's more of an emperor..."

"It should be. Rialto, the emperor among the emperors, who was belligerent and increased the Kelm Empire to its greatest area ever. Definitely that person."

Alex mouths Rialto's general acclaim as he sees Rialto with a nico grin when he realizes that Yui and the others exist.

"That's... that's probably what I'm talking about"

Mindful of the presence of the guide, Yui omits the main point and seems to turn to Alex.

Having understood the omitted part of Yui, Alex looked into Yui's ear and opened his mouth vigilantly around him.

"Yui, be very careful. Needless to say now, whether it's a sword or a political rush, it's most effective when your opponent is caught off guard to inflict a deadly blow. Farther than when the enemy is on guard."

Against that word of Alex, Yui nods once in a sigh mix. And when I switched the expression to something as bright as possible, I said my apology with enough voice to hear it a little further away with a grin.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sorry"

Yui speaks so, and walks under Rialto with a slightly quicker foot, overtaking the guide.

In contrast to such yui, Rialto slowly opened his mouth when he had a full grin.

"Oh, I see you've come as promised. I'm sorry, it's always sudden. If we're going to make plans or something, we don't know where we're going to get laid."

"No. I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me"

Yui says so with a bitter laugh against Rialto, who obviously finds himself busy.

In response to such Yui's words, Rialto shook his neck left and right, without breaking his smile.

"Say what. Because of this, Clarice's hero will go out with Pre and Tea. Is there anything more important than that? Come on, get inside."

"Yui, I'll wait outside. I drank a little too much at the meeting earlier, so I walked a little and I was drunk. Bye."

That's what he said, leaving only a smile on the spot, and Alex walked away from the spot with a refreshment.

"Hmm, I wonder if Lord Alex has been distracted. Next time, he'd like to enjoy his tea with you."

"Ha, sorry. He doesn't like group behavior either."

In contrast to Rialto, who has an unfortunate look on his face, Yui scratches his head and says so, thinking of a few of his men in his brain who are unable to act as a group.

"Well, can't you help what's gone? Now, come inside."

When Rialto says so, the Emperor opens the door to the room himself.

The space at the end of the door thus opened by Rialto's hand was sufficient to round Yui's eyes.

"This is... wonderful"

As Rialto urged, Yui slowly looked indoors as he was passed inside.

A construction with white painted walls, not too beautiful but very sophisticated conditioning placed at moderate intervals, leaving no feeling of compression at all. And the front facing the garden was one-sided glazed, and its open space that made it feel as if it was connected to the outside world was nothing short of brilliant.

"Hehe, it's my hobby. In order to relax and have a cup of tea, we have a room for you. It's pretty good."

"Making it indoors but making it feel like we're having tea outside. No, I've never seen such a sophisticated space in Clarice. And even though there are no performers, the music is playing… is it an automatic player using demonic stones?"

"Exactly. Heh heh, it's not exactly an honor to be able to surprise Clarice's heroic hall, which is the home of the Demon Stone. There's something like a big box in that corner. That's the way it is."

The emperor proudly walks over to the automaton and puts the processed demon stone placed next to him into it.

"Honestly, I'm surprised. I've never seen a teahouse like this before."

"Well, well, well. Now, the room we set aside for relaxation is impeccable. Sit back on the chair in the back."

Rialto urges Yui to sit him in the chair of a table set slightly behind the center of the room. And when he had four legs ready, he dared to sit in a diagonally located seat, not across from Yui.

Yui leans her neck uncomfortably at Rialto's act of not sitting face-to-face with it. But such discomfort was also lightly iced away in the next word of Rialto.

"Yeah, well, just the other one. Call a guest today. Rather than that, he wanted to have a tea party with Lord Istarts, so he quickly prepared this place. Come on in."

After Rialto has raised his voice, he slaps his hand twice.

Then the door that leads to the modem that was installed in the back of the room, not on the hallway side, slowly opened, from where the handsome woman who had just met him appeared.

"Not my daughter Miriam... and I didn't have to explain it to her. I just looked at her earlier."

Silver glossy hair with big adorable eyes. And the poor woman with white skin, as if it were clear, was exactly that person, Miriam, the Fourth Empress, who had been blessed by everyone earlier.

"It's weird to say it's a first, I've seen you earlier. But I didn't say hello properly... nice to meet you. My name is Miriam von Kelm."

"Hi, I'm Yui Istarz. It's an honor to have you here today for this kind of tea party."

As Yui rose from the chair to give a toast, Miriam smiled at him and sat straight down in the seat across from him.

"Um... I was actually really surprised when I first met you today"

"Surprised...?

"Because the castles and the samurai told me that you were a monstrous, musculoskeletal big man, very scary to see. My father told me he was a good young man, but I was honestly thrilled until he actually went up to the stage and saw me. But when you actually showed up in front of me, I felt so calm that I accidentally blew out the tension."

Having heard Miriam's words, Yui laughs bitterly when she has no choice but to feel her headache at the fact that her image, which was the first rumor in the venue, is more diffuse than she thought.

"Ha, I'm sorry about this. There's a reason why people in this country say that, but there's no other way... they're actually just left-hand soldiers like this."

"Regardless of Lord Yui's self-assessment, Miriam. That's why I always tell you to believe what you say. Can you trust what they say more than what they say so much in advance?

"Because sometimes your father can lie terribly. When I was a kid, I used to say that haunts would come out near my bedroom at night, and I didn't forget that I was trembling in my futon every day."

When Miriam said so in a pointy and obstinate tone of mouth, Rialto looked slightly sinister.

"Isn't that when you were only eight? The statute of limitations."

"Master Isterz, I'm sorry for being such a father. Weren't you annoyed to hear that you suddenly visited the embassy the other day?

"No, that's not true. I also wanted to see His Majesty Rialto, known as the Emperor among the Emperors, once."

Yui shakes his head in haste and speaks to lift Rialto, who will be punished by the Empress.

Meanwhile, Rialto, feeling better when he heard Yui's words, smiled proudly.

"Well, Miriam. My father is as great as he is. Heh, you can be a little more honest too."

"No, Master Isterz. My father is on track as soon as he is praised. Just enough to make it a little chilly."

With the eyes of a troubled person, Miriam tells him so as she looks at Rialto next door.

Then Rialto, who was drowning her daughter, gave her a sad look.

"Uhm, you're not a guy who doesn't know how my father feels... Prep is sad"

"Ha, I envy you for being close to both parents and children. I think it's nice."

"Is Istarz not close to your parents?

Miriam, caught in Yui's words, asks him so.

In response to that inquiry, Yui immediately shook her head and denied her statement.

"No, that didn't happen."

"I mean, there wasn't... I mean"

"Yeah, a dozen years ago in the other world. But he was a fine parent to be proud of around like you...... Excuse me. Comparing His Majesty the Emperor to the parents of ordinary people like me is disrespectful."

Yui thinks of his origins and rushes to the Emperor to say an apology.

"Good, for everyone parents are parents, children are children. Before that relationship, it had nothing to do with position or authority... rather, you reminded me of the hard stuff, sorry. Oops, more than that, I almost forgot my original purpose. You asked Lord Yui to come here today to act like tea."

"Right, we'll arrange it right away"

Miriam rings the bell provided on the table twice and the door of the room opens and the magnificent deacon shows up.

"Peram, will you prepare the tea? Bring the sweets with you."

"Yes, sir."

The deacon called Peram leaves the room to follow the instructions when he receives the word of Rialto. And Rialto opened his mouth slightly proudly toward him as he turned back toward Yui.

"Lord Istarz, you have a rare cup of tea today, and I want you to enjoy it."

"Is that a rare tea?

So much so that the emperor says it is rare that there is an interest in what the hell it is, and Yui immediately asks back.

"Um, with Oriental tea. They say it's the kind of green tea they call anything. The red ones that Preda usually drinks are different, including the scent."

"Hmm... is it green tea"

"Oh, you know what?

Miriam turns to him with interest in Yui's reply as if she knew of its existence.

"Yes, because my mother was out of the East. Even so, I haven't spoken for a long time."

"Well, rather that would have been just fine. But Lord Isterz's mother didn't know you were from the East."

When Rialto says so with an intriguing look, Yui replies scratching her head.

"Well, it's true, because Eastern humans are rare."

"Is that Excellency's lovely brunette, too, a mother's concession?

"Yeah, that's right. I wish I looked like my mother, too, but unfortunately I looked like my father. Because of that, we live a life without depression."

Joking, Miriam shook her head left and right twice as Yui laughed bitterly.

"No, it's more than enough. Master Istarts is lovely."

"Ha, if you flatter me, I can't give you anything. Instead, when a real beauty tells you that, it embarrasses you."

When Yui hears such a statement, Rialto glows slightly behind his eyes and gives him an interesting look.

"Well, call my daughter beautiful."

"No, not calling Miriam a beauty, who --"

As soon as Yui tried to appreciate her as she turned her gaze to Miriam, an earlier butler blew inside as the door of the room was suddenly slammed open with a loud noise.

"Excuse me. I apologize for the welcome. There were a few thieves."

With such a mouth, it was Alex who appeared from behind the knocked down door with the sword knocking the butler against the door.

"Alex, what the hell happened?"

"I was checking in and out of this room, but he left this room earlier, and now here he is, he's different. Probably switched."

In response to Yui's inquiry, Alex answers lightly with his usual fox eyes.

"But wherever you look, it just looks like Peram..."

"You look like it. But the way your body moves its center of gravity when you're walking, and your body carries it like it's different. More importantly, when you brought the tea, you were trying to erase the signs in vain. It's not necessary to be just a butler. For once, you should check the contents of the tea and confectionery he tried to carry here later."

In response to the emperor's inquiry, Alex answers so with a calm tone and a grin.

Meanwhile, the man beaten to death by Alex had fallen to nod to the ground by too many shocks, but still forced to push and kill the pain running to his body, he wakes up his body in a desperate shape.

"Heh... I can still move. Something like drugs or fortified magic. But unfortunately, that's it."

When Alex says so, the Uys turn to the man who seeks to squeeze the last force and braid the magic, trying to pack a pause in time.

But actually faster than he moves out, an unexpected man's voice stilled Alex.

"Alex, wait. I'll do it here."

"Yui?... Oh, I see. You mean that. All right, I'll leave you to it."

Usually I leave these kinds of work to people. The stationary purpose issued by Yui. Having understood its intentions, Alex nodded one so much that he decided to leave it to Yui to stop his legs.

Meanwhile, even while they were interacting like that, the thief who supposedly replaced that butler was knitting offensive magic that was clearly known as lightning magic.

Seeing its absurd magic, Miriam nods frightened by fear. And Rialto, who was next to her, moved her gaze toward Chirali and Yui as she moved her body forward to cover her daughter.

"Magic Code… Access"

The magic of lightning is ejected out of front of a man. Exactly at that time, one distracted voice is emitted on the spot.

And at the next moment, Yui reads the magic code he touched, moves his pickles and cheeks, and gives him an unexpected look.

But it was only for a moment, and instantly Yui emitted a key code from his mouth when he mastered the man's braided magic.

"Crack!"

The moment Yui casts that spell, the lightning magic becomes completely under Yui's control, and suddenly the lightning can play in front of the thieves.

"Gho......"

The thief dressed as a butler stops moving one after the bursting of his own braided lightning bolt.

A moment of silence.

The first person to move his body in that state of stillness was Alex, who kept a grin on his face.

"Yui, how'd it go?

Slowly walking under Yui, he asks Yui, with a voice not audible to the Rialtos.

"Oh... it was as far as I could imagine, but I was just amazed"

"Heh, I mean, he said he could take the back."

With a meaningful grin, Alex says so as he peeks into Yui's eyes.

"Sort of. However, I have previously heard from Dr. Azwell that there is magic in his country that brings the appearance closer to the person like special makeup if the person or figure is somewhat similar. Perhaps if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have spotted him being replaced."

"Phew, magically camouflage...? Hehe, I see. I see more or less the story. [M] Because that's the only country that can use such magic. But to see the magical output of the lightning earlier, you didn't just aim for Yui, you seem to have also targeted His Majesty and the Empress in conjunction. Based on the M.O., there's no first chance of an impulsive offense."

Alex returns that in Yui's ear with the same grin as usual, against Yui with a bitter look on his face scratching his head.

"Oh. Probably decided the timing of my visit was best. I'm sure politically..."

"Hehe. Okay, so what do we do now?

Alex asks Yui that as he narrows his usual fox eyes further.

Meanwhile, the person questioned opened his mouth with a reluctant look on his face once he exhaled a loud sigh.

"Right. I don't want to get involved, but you'll find out anyway, and if you don't, you'll be angry... Alex, I'm sorry, but I need you to call Nanya's guy to the embassy. I guess by now I'm drinking somewhere, but I want to get back there soon."

"I don't want to get her involved, but needing her... it's still the people in that country who set this up."

At the time Yui speaks when he speaks out in solidarity with Nanya, Alex also hits the country that tried to cause this situation.

"Oh, the way he writes his magic code is terribly similar to the mura scene. And then a more primitive magic code. This magical lord, or Mr. Peram, who rolls there, is probably from the Magical Duchy of Filament."
