After lookin’ at the faces of Arkhide and Shadow for a while, I turned my face away.
“…Then it’d have been better if you’d simply co clean on that,” I sighed. “Do you really believe that she’ll readily agree to help you after you took such an attitude with her? You think a person, who can use divine magic, would simply obey after havin’ been treated as inferior by a re human? Wouldn’t that be equal to makin’ a god do your biddin’?”
The two froze.
“I’ll tell you once more: I’m Indra’s ally. Don’t try to use , ‘kay? I’ve got no plans to shackle her down. Then I’d rather break that magic circle of yours, blow up the capital, and leave this country for good with her. For , she’s my number one priority.”
Sayin’ just that, I got up from my chair.
“Bye bye. Don’t call ‘nymore. I’m an adventurer while you guys are the boss of a evil den with the na royal court and his right-hand henchman. Since the old days, both of us had different roles to play. I’ll gladly take the information ’bout the brave along. You should tell him that he might end up dead in the worst case, in case we run into him. Take the wine over there as paynt for today.”
Once I opened the door, I ran into the knight leader.
“We’re done talkin’ so I’m leavin’.”
“……”
He ain’t feelin’ like movin’ outta the way?
With a cheerful smile, I slipped past the knight leader as he stared at with what you could call a glare.
“Sorry to say, but soone like you is no threat to whatsoever. You won’t be much of a roadblock either. You gotta train yourself a lot more, ‘kay?”
Once I started to walk away with a wave of my hand, that idiot loudly ordered, “Arrest him!”
…Co on, man. You gonna treat like a criminal?
“You sure got guts to treat like so lawbreaker after havin’ called over on your own accord. Well, that’s also the reason why I didn’t wanna co to a shithole like this, though… Rather, it was totally correct that you didn’t summon Indra. In her case, she’d be gleefully tearing your skin off ’bout now.”
Just as I clicked my tongue and was about to get ready for going on a lil’ rampage, the king ordered, “Knight Leader, step back!”
“…But!”
“Haven’t you heard my order? …Shadow.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“No, I did not intend to defy you by any ans!”
So horseplay has apparently started behind , but I don’t give a damn. But, when I rembered, thinkin’ Oh, shit!, the wall got blown away.
I slapped my forehead. But, I s’pose it can’t be helped.
“Mr. Sword, is it an ergency?”
“Yes, because of what you’ve done,” I spat out with a sigh, “Well, whatever. Let’s go back together then.”
“”Ayessir!””
I jumped on one of the Ryokus which had shown up. Or rather, why are there two of ’em here? Did Indra send ’em over to stand guard?
“Goodbye! If you don’t want your castle t’be destroyed any further, don’t call us ‘nymore!”
After I waved a hand while biddin’ farewell to the folks starin’ at us flabbergasted, the Ryokus went outside. They shot sothing similar to a rope from their hands, continuously hoppin’ ’round between roofs and walls.
“Haha! That’s damn incredible!”
“Is it more amazing than Bronko?”
“…Ah, so you’ve heard after all, eh?”
“I did. Sword, you were such a anie!”
They repeatedly chanted, “anie, anie!”
Okay, these guys are already livin’ beings. No doubt ’bout it.

The Ryokus brought to a place with a crowd of people who seed to be awfully excited.
“Oh, you’re back!”
When I got suspicious of the whole situation, soone called out to .
…Umm, what are they doin’?
Just as I wondered ’bout that, the crowd split and Indra ca over to greet .
“Ah, did everything work out? …Or not. You coming here on Ryoku ans that you ran into so kind of trouble, huh?”
Whoa, she’s a sharp one.
The Ryokus headed over to Indra, causin’ her to stroke ’em.
“Mr. Sword, state of ergency.”
“It’s because you blew away a part of the wall. …Well, not like it matters, though. It allowed to see ’em lookin’ dumb and the folks of the knight order will likely receive a severe scoldin’ for the wall havin’ been broken through.
But, rather than that…what’s goin’ on with the uproar over here?”
I scanned the surroundings after retortin’ at Ryoku’s claim. It’s turned into sothin’ like the festival of a small village, kinda?
“I imagined that you’d return after being ntally worn out from getting showered with sarcasm and malice by the devilish nobles over at the palace, so I made a stall together with everyone to reward you for getting through the ordeal!”
The crowd cheered loudly.
…Wait, aren’t they already drunk?
“You’re overdoing the good boy act way too much. There’s like no reason for you to silently listen and obey to what they tell you, is there? Co on, everyone. You tell him as well!”
“Now, now, I also think that 【Thundercla…ah, no, Mr. Sword is a bit too inflexible, but either way, let’s drink!”
“You did well to return from such a dreadful nest of snakes like the royal palace. Here, eat so.”
……
“Haha!” I burst into laughter.
…Seriously, my partner is an idiot, cheerful…and a gentle girl.
“Alright! I’m totally pooped after havin’ to deal with that super formal place, and I got flooded with plenty of sarcasm and insults too! Shit! They even treated like a criminal despite havin’ called over from their side in the first place! I’ll drink plenty and forget all ’bout the nasty stuff!!”
“”Cheers!!””
After loudly shoutin’ out my complaints, I toasted with everyone.
