12-30 The Dance Party at the Royal Castle

Satou's here In battle a where battles come one after another, I feel that the scenes of everyday life are simply intermezzo However, when I' to refrain from battles and rest in a peaceful place

◇

"Ten-chan, I' such screaon returned to Fujisan Mountains as if fleeing

Judging from the luminous points on the map, it seems Mito and Homonculus Ten-chan are with her too

If they don't cooing to Fujisan Mountains to ot to collect the scales dropped by the heavenly dragon

I don't old rush uproar, the local faro quickly collect the back to Pendragon Mansion

Actually, when I was collecting the scales, a call froh [World Phone]

--The worried Aze-san was cute too

The girls see and go downstairs

There, the coathered in full force

"""Good "

I reply their sharp , and tell the old butler that it's fine for them to take a day off on their houses since it's after the incident yesterday

"I a to the old butler, the houses of the co servants are all fine

A blue lunifies my friend are reflected on irls sleeping on the second floor until they wake up theo toward the entrance hall

"Master, there is a visitor for you"

"Satou-san, good uides Sera-san who's wearing priestess clothing to the rooo out even though it's after such incident

"Goodhappened for you to be this early?"

"I' so early Satou-san, actually I have so a bit of hard ti the city

Of course it's not a pleasure trip, but to heal people who are seriously injured in the royal capital

The people of royal capital have been coh, but I can't say it as Satou

Putting that aside, even without askingher who've followed her to ned as a condition if she wants to go outside the noble street by Duke Oyugock, and they are to mobilize with ock is trying to o with her, Liza who's an equal ht Swords and the others would surely also go along, that must be his hidden plan

I readily consent to Sera's request, and go around the royal capital while receiving appraising glances froh there are so e, there doesn't seem to be anyone injured isn't it"

"Yes, that seems to be so--"

I nod at Sera who looks perplexed

This neighborhood is the wealthy area, so goleathered to reic soldiers andthe caved-in road

While looking at theh the wealthy area and enter the general citizen area

I look at the surrounding, and even though it hasn't even been two hours since the daybreak, the citizens have begun cooperating to clear up the collapsed buildings

I don't see h we're just here to inspect them, the citizens who noticed us stop their work and fall prostrate, so we continue et in the way

"Hi houses are destroyed to such degrees, there isn't a single debris on the road"

"Yes, the ineers of the royal capital are excellent aren't they"

One of the escort knights talks to Sera like she's in ahile advancing the horses

The ineers are certainly excellent, but these are my works As expected, without cheat, the royal capital lacks the man power needed to remove the debris two hours after the incident

I also catch sights of lifethe citizens' dirt, and giving food in the public park

The housewives fro too

Since there are soets down fro unwell?"

"N-no, priestess-sama These people are the people who have been saved from under the debris--"

A nearby old woman who's fallen prostrate tells Sera that they're just sleeping frorandchildren ere trapped under the debris"

After hearing the old wo also lift up their head and each begins to boast about hero

"I was saved fro Froure couldn't even be seen, several hundreds hts had trouble in a blink of an eye"

"I had got injury big enough olden armor Hero-sama healed it fer' me"

--It's ticklish, so please stop there

"I'm able to live on thanks to Hero Nanashi-sa her hands together and praying, they also began to pray, na

Unable to endure any longer, I urged Sera to leave the park, and headed toward the low income people area this tiradually looknearby the square where there's a food distribution is particularly bad There's a food distribution too in the general citizen area, but it's on the verge of beco a riot here

They don't line up, cut each other's line, and have fist fight with every little thing

The expression of Sera who's disconnected with violence begins to cloud when she sees such scene

--CLAP

I stop the noise in the square with the sound of ht before they hit

"O-oy, aren't those nobles-saun to notice us prostate themselves one by one

It would have been over with [What, it's just a noble huh] if this were in Labyrinth City, but it beca family tend to strut around, and they can easily dispose of people they dee, it's enough for everyone's share Please act orderly befitting of Shiga Kingdonified smile

"Oy, the heck is 'orderly'?"

"Dunno Rather than that, what does 'befitting' mean?"

I picked up such conversation with h nuance has been transmitted, the people who are taken aback with Sera's smile, start to for the food

We wave our hands to the officials who are bowing toward us, and then we set out to return, closing the royal capital inspection

◇

I part with Sera in front of Duke Oyugock's mansion that's next to the royal castle, and stop by the royal castle's guest house where Baron Muno and the others are staying

I'm relieved that there's no victim in the baron house except a maid who fell down the stair in panic

Lady Karina see my absence, but she didn't seem to have any particular business with irls

I finish lunch with everyone quickly and hasten everyone to begin the preparation for the evening party early

I'm the lowest class of noble, so I have to enter the venue before upper ranking nobles

The party begins after sunset, but it seems we need to enter the venue one hour before

While everyone is finishing their preparation, I beco and the prime minister in the royal castle

When I showed up orously like they'd fall prostratethe way, so I forcefully interrupted and beganhere--I told them the details of the incident and the true identity of the black lines

Both of them were shocked but it seemed they knew that I was not an ordinary existence from the reports of their retainers, so they believed it relatively easy

"Partial su God"

"Yeah, that's why I'll have to seclude myself in the forbidden library"

"Certainly We will prepare an excellent librarian, so please order that person if you need necessary docus seeht

After I've finished my report, I ask them about the treatht of Liberty] and [Wings of Liberty] are to be publicly executed after the Kingdoht of Liberty] is condemned the crime of treason, and every fa children too?"

"No In accordance of the law enacted by Na-, Ancient King-saer are to spend the rest of their life in the monastery located at the foot of Fujisan Mountains"

I see, that law sounds like what that guy those days would insist enacting

Since I've understood, the pri about the treatment of the other people

As for other nobles who cooperated with that noble, they'll be treated with various punish from the faht who attacked the Shiga Eight Swords seem to be dispatched by a Cardinal who transferred frouy seee of the confusion during the incident

All people connected with Holy Kingdom Parion are confined under the castle under the pretext of sheltering theroup, "Wind of Freedom", their members aren't free of blame, several members who did radical speech and conducts are to be punished lightly as a warning

"Ja, Ja~n!"
