Chapter 310: The King of Playas, Playking, was plain, despite being a playa.
Day 75 – Dayti, the Capital, the Royal Palace
The top floor of the Royal Castle Diorer. Absolutely impenetrable marvel of defense that none can infiltrate. There, in a certain room for noble visitors, a boy in a black mantle is eating a packed lunch. It seems tasty.
「Finally here. Errr, if it’s tomorrow or after, then any day is fine, I’ve finished with weaponry preparations, and with everyone gathered and ready to move out in full battle gear I think we can beat the Royal Palace imdiately, but do we have to get invited every ti? Or rather, I’ve already been here dozens of tis for a restocking, a regular visitor if you will, even without a guide, I completely morized the layout of the underground storage, and have full grasp of hidden rooms and corridors, so I can co and go any ti and reach any area? Is what I ca to say?」
It seems this is what he ca to say.
Certainly, he is now casually eating a al in the most well-guarded room inside the fortress under protection of『Ultimate Lock』and the Royal Guard. He appeared before the ssenger that was sent to his place could return. In such a case he’d have no problem taking both the Capital and the Royal Castle. Killing Kuzaryusvery (Second Prince) at any given mont was within his ability, as well as even destroying the Royal Castle itself.
This boy, who isn’t just acting nonchalant in the presence of llotosam Shim Omui hailed as the Kingdom of the Frontier, but chattering with hints of the entire situation being sowhat of a bother to him, is that black-haired strategist, the foreigner called Haruka. That is our benefactor and the savior of the Kingdom, and the very person behind the miracle of the Frontier.
「Tomorrow is just right, the nobles and the visitors have already gathered, so let’s ask that King over there「King, it’s cool, right?」, it seems it is, so tomorrow night… I’ll send soone to pick you up, so could you allow yourself to be invited? No, it’s not a problem if you just waltz in on your own, but you are being welcod as an invitee, so if that’s not possible, just attend normally, no need to beat anyone. Or rather, Haruka-kun, there is not a single massage chair in the Royal Castle, could you place at least one here? Long journeys really take a toll on my back. Good grief, getting called here over and over again like I work at this place or sothing.」
When I ca to talk privately with llotosam, I found that this boy in a black cloak was here as well. Wismregzero-dono, the legendary magic swordsman, considered by so the strongest bodyguard on the continent, was rely looking with a smile.
And this careless attitude. It’s nothing out of the ordinary for llotosam outside of the public’s eyes, but this boy, facing the Kingdom’s King, and being well aware of that, is still casually making small talk like he doesn’t care at all.
Dungeon Slayer, the Lord of the Frontier, the Mushroom Evangelist, the Lord of the Evil Forest, the Strategist of Annihilation, Slaughterer of Monsters, Dungeon Ruler, Souvenir Store Manager, the Slum’s ssiah, the Liberator of the Capital, the Master of Scythes of Death, Elusive Phantom of Death, the black-haired boy known to everyone by a different nickna. God of War llotosam calls him benefactor of the Frontier, the previous Knight Princess Murimur called him Killer of Tragedies, and Miss riel called him One who doesn’t accept the impossible.
Just as his nas would have it, he annihilated the stampedes from the nine dungeons that would’ve destroyed the Kingdom, and wiped out the nobles army which numbers are said to have been sowhere in between 40,000 or 50,000 people strong.
「Since I was unconscious the last ti, this makes it our first eting, Haruka-kun. Nice to et you. I’m Diarusez di Diorer that was saved by you, for my job, I’m employed as the King here, more or less, though I’m just a foolish King, so it’s just in na only. Let formally thank you for saving the Frontier and this Kingdom. Although re thanks definitely wouldn’t be enough, and as I heard you even saved my daughter… And I think my brother must’ve caused you trouble too, but let thank you as their family too. And I’m really sorry for my foolish sons.」
I guess it’s good that it’s a private eting? There are too many nobles and bureaucrats who would’ve had issues with their King bowing head to anyone. However, not showing gratitude and respect to the ones deserving of it is far greater of an issue, and it doesn’t matter how much we thank this person, it still wouldn’t be anywhere near enough. The naless foreigner? While his na itself isn’t known, is there anyone in the Kingdom who hasn’t heard of the Dungeon Slayer? Is there any citizen of the Capital, who hasn’t heard of the Slum’s ssiah? If all of the rumors currently circulating through the Kingdom are about him, then it’s only natural to bow head in gratitude.
llotosam was narrating with tears in his eyes, Lady Murimur was talking as if she was gazing at the great heights, and the princess of the Frontier Lady riel replied with a troubled expression, but all of them were overflowing with gratitude. The Kingdom left alone to its demise the Frontier, where the entire continent pushed their tragedies to seal them for good. The benefactors of the entire continent, House Omui, shouldered those tragedies and continuously protected the Frontier. Dood Omui of the Farthest Land.
And he is the one who is said to have brought them happiness.
Allowing everyone to smile.
It’s not strange to find it hard to believe.
But looking at the orphans in the slums, I can tell.
They did beco happy.
It is not possible, no one can do anything about this, it’s hopeless, even trying is pointless, it’s already beyond help, this is what everyone was saying in unison, instead of voicing any ideas to redy the situation, let alone actual solutions. The sealed fates that everyone already gave up on. One of the rumored black-haired maidens was calling him 『Mass killer of tragedies』, and another one『Destroyer of the impossible』and another one 『Natural enemy of common sense』.
The tragic fate of the Frontier was killed.
The inescapable doom of destruction was crushed.
Along with the common sense calling it impossible.
That’s why llotosam is calling the boy who made the impossible dream co true『Benefactors of all successive generations of Omui』.
And that boy,
「He doesn’t seem like a playa! Wait, is he fake? But if Playking lacks play-part… Then what he’s even called?」
「It’s a King, told you already. Eerm, and could you please treat that like a King in public? I an, it’s like the Kingdom’s main poster?」
It’s, like… a poster?… After all that happened, I wouldn’t be able to complain if my incompetent self was killed either by this boy or Omui House, but isn’t this treatnt a bit much?
「I an, if it’s Playking, he has to be saying stuff like 『Let’s rock this joint』or『Let’s party~』, right? That’s the one we are talking about?」
「Let’s rock? Joint? If necessary, we can have that say it?『Let’s rock this joint』, right? And we are going to have a party (ball) too? You are invited, you rember? It’s not a big deal if you forget That, but please rember this? Also, it’s fine not to morize That’s na, but could you rember my na already? It’s all ri or Muri but llo is not coming up at all. Even though I’m llotosam, ripapa-san is kind of close, but not quite.」
That… And they are going to make say sothing?! Let’s rock this joint? Is that so sort of foreign greeting? I’ve not heard it before, but it sounds kind of irritating? Do I have to say it?
「Which reminds , Shariceres went to the Souvenir Store, weren’t you together? I hope at least she isn’t causing you any troubles, she is a stubborn girl whose only interests lie with fighting, giving quite a lot of headache in the past, but when I saw her recently, after finally waking up, she had changed beyond recognition. That was quite a surprise. She must’ve learned her lesson in the Frontier. Sorry for both parent and daughter causing trouble?… Don’t tell that my brother did sothing too? Was everything alright? He is quite serious at his core, and also bullheaded, obsessing over formalities, but he is doing his best in his own way.」
「Shari? Sharishari-san? Ah, you an Royal Girl? Yeah, she dropped by. She and riri-san seed to have much fun trying clothes, hanging, sucking, and going hooray, so I left them there? Yeah, they are like, aren’t getting up?」
Just what these girls are doing? I can understand trying clothes, but what is it about having fun handing, sucking and hooraying?
「Does the party have so sort of a limit for the number of participants? Even if there is, it doesn’t really matter, since we can just enter on our own regardless, but the hidden passages here are narrow, so if we try to squeeze with a large crown we might end up with a situation where the party wouldn’t be among our concerns, having to survive a marvelous threat to my life as my HP drops into single digits, just barely holding out against the waves of squishy, and jiggly flesh, pressuring with lovely smooth skin, totally blocking the passage and causing a traffic jam? Kind of?」
「Any number is fine, he will welco everyone. No need to worry about how much you eat, fuss, or break, That will do sothing about it. 」
So this is a conversation between the King of the Frontier and the Dungeon Slayer… A king is nothing but『That』? 『That will do sothing』, huh, well, I’ll do anything. If it’s within my power, then anything is fine. I owe them much more than that. I’m sure I owe them countless debts none of which I can hope to ever pay back. I’m eternally indebted to those two, there is no way for to say no to them.
They are poking fun and joking, but normally, it would’ve been only natural for to be killed by now. Being harshly rebuked and belittled is but a matter of course, I’m not even in a position to laugh it off. Since everything is ultimately my responsibility as a king, but those two shouldered all of it, fought, and won.
The Royal Family is no different than a decoration, and I’m in turn also but a decorative king. But if everyone is fine with that, then I can at least take responsibility, and perform my duty that way, since putting this head of mine on the line and taking responsibility for everything is the only thing I can do.
I’m not a person worth including in heroic epics, then I can at least be a figurehead to shoulder responsibility for the heroes.
Ever since my friend succeeded as the lord of the Frontier, anguish was carved into his face, with deep exhaustion showing even through his smile, but today I was able to see him happily laugh from the bottom of his heart, that alone is enough for .
Our Royal Family put this burden upon him and forced him to fight alone against inevitable doom, if he was able to make him smile, then that alone makes him a benefactor of our Royal Family. Our Royal Family was unable to repay the generations of Omui, if he is a benefactor of successive generations of Omui, then it makes him a benefactor of successive generations of our Royal Family. Let’s include『Kingdom’s Benefactor』among his nas too.
…But what Shariceres was sucking?
