When we entered into the room, it was a fairly plain rooh to hold about 30 people On the upper seat of the table sat a man, the Emperor of the Hoelscher Empire, Gaharudo D Hoelscher, who had a fearless s his chin on his hand There are 2 people behind him, they had a keen air about the

And, although we couldn’t see their figures in the room, there was also 2 more people on the other side of the wall, 4 people in the ceiling, and Hajime also felt 2 people soundlessly outside the closed door they cah It wasn’t only the 2 behind Gaharudo, the other hidden men seemed to have been considerably skilled as well

[So, are you Hajiroup entered, Ririana also introduced thes to Kouki as the hero, Gaharudo released pressure while looking at Hajiaze

It was pressure fro man who ruled over several hundred thousands of people ild and strong and believed in the nature of power It was no joke Ririana as also in a royal fa pressure, Kouki’s group backed away instinctively

However, fro pressure, these 5 people, Hajime, Yue, Shia, Teio, and Kaori, were calm In the first place, even Kaori who had little experience survived from the attack of an immortal monster thats been alive since the ancient tih the E pressure, when co more than a soft breeze

Gaharudo’s mouth lifts up roup is unphased, then Hajiumo Its an honor to have been known by you, your Majesty the E his hand on his chest and lightly bowing, Kouki’s group looked at Hajime with astonishment at his words

Their eyes opened wide and clearly conveyed, [Who are you!] Especially Ririana as shaking in unease While receiving Gaharudo’s overpowering pressure and raising a sed, it wasn’t able to conceal that she was staring at Hajihast expression

Hajime also knows of the TPOTi it

But, because he had business in the Imperial castle this time, he didn’t want to be thrown out because he disrespected the Emperor Since he shouldn’t believe in God anymore, the title of "God’s Apostle" is probably not effective anymore The only way to pass is with the title of Hero Thats why, he judged that he needed to at least use the bare ed person was definitely still Hajime

[Kukuku…I never even considered this What happened to your usual arrogant attitude? N? It’s quite different from the cries of a certain princess sohing

Hajilanced over at Ririana [Princess~, You, just how much did you unnecessarily talk about, A~a?] Ririana as receiving Hajilance, ~Pui~! looked in another direction When Gaharudo asked what kind of person Hajireat deal about her treatht hh they were surprised of Hajie, they sat down in order

Finally after Gaharudo reaze off Hajime, he noticed Yue and them who took up their positions by Hajinificantly glance at Shia in particular Following that, he turned his gaze towards Kouki’s group…he looked at Shizuku as next to Kouki and a grin appeared on both his lips and eyes

[Shizuku, it’s been a while Have you finally decided to become my wife?]

[O, oi! Shizuku already declined before!]

Kouki reacted to Gaharudo before Shizuku did Gaharudo’s glances over at Kouki for an instant, then back at Shizuku and started laughing hysterically Kouki had the "I don’t care" attitude but veins were appearing on his forehead

While sighing at the 2 people, Shizuku had a clarified face and answered

[I have no intentions to take back my previous words I’ll have to decline your Majesties offer]

[Quite heartless But, it wouldn’t be interesting otherwise More than the world, allow ood I await the day when that clarified face is dyed in red frohout all of eternity …Or rather, don’t you already have an Empress?]

[What about it? Are you dissatisfied as a concubine? Fual wife……]

[I didn’t mean it that way! You’d place your hands on other wo? I’m the Eht A, anyways, I will not becoive up]

[Ma~a, since you won’t be returned by God anymore, you’ll probably be stuck in this world for a while, I suppose I should take my time to convince you Kuku, prepare yourself, Shizuku]

It appears that Gaharudo really likes Shizuku As expected of a greedy Eive up even when he’s been refused His sharp eyes were coh Shizuku looks aith an expression that seemed to hate him from the bottom of her heart, she also seemed to not care at all

Then, at that tined with Hajilance at that tihs)] a color of aered Shizuku just used her finger to play with the sugar cubes that were prepared for her tea Although it wasn’t as strong as Hajiar cube fleith excellent power, it’s ai towards Hajime’s hateful face……

However, it wasn’t a direct hit, it flew into Hajio~ Hajime’s mouth moved around with an air of flaar cube was fir, however Hajime’s was clarified

When Gaharudo saw her in such a state, he turned his sharp glance back at Hajis

[Fu~n, this is quite the interesting situation ……Hajih I have a mountain of questions that I want to ask you, first of all, answer this]

[Ah? what is it……]

[You, have you already e implied my Shizuku?]

[ [ [ [Bufu~u–!?] ] ] ]

To Gaharudo who abruptly asked such an unexpected question with an eager expression, several people including Shizuku blew out air

Even the guards that aiting behind Gaharudo, [Your Majesty……the first thing you wanted to ask, was that……] with a pained expression They also seemed to be worldly-wise …]

[Shizuku, you reht now]

Naturally, although Shizuku tried to burst Gaharudo’s bubble with a tsukko it On the other hand, Hajime had an amazed expression

[What did you think about to reach that conclusion]

[It appears that Shizuku has the heart to forgive you……Judging from that manner, it’s not impossible, so just in case]

[Ha~a, there’s no way that would happen]

[……Fuht Then, what do you think of Shizuku?]

To that question, all the glances in the roos froroup pierced hih about why the first question asked by the E him was about his relationship with Shizuku, anyways he turned his gaze over to Shizuku Shizuku’s expression was supposed to be extre her neck

It appears that Shizuku’s ears began to slightly redden…

For the tiiven

[……She’s like afor, you’ve won it Get off the table, Nagu held down, of all the things to say, as it "She’s like aon her seat and was getting up was conveying with hatred in her glare at Hajio had already disappeared Suzu and Kouki ere next to Shizuku were panicking and desperately tried to hold her down

[……I didn’t think it would be such a boring answer…… in love now? Because you’re mine]

[I’ve already said this but, I have no intentions of being his Majesties and I’ve also not fallen for Naguet back to the ry An excessive denial will only be taken as a positive one?]

[Nuguu~u……]

Shizuku instinctively tried to raise a groan in objection to Gaharudo but decided to sit down loudly Suzu callaring at Haji your hands on Shizuku?]

[Be relieved, I don’t have the faintest interest in doing that Rather, if you’re only going to idly chat, I’d like to leave now?]

[Our chit chat was unneeded huh It’s a talk about a new concubine……or Empress that may appear you know? It even involves the Empire’s future…ma~a, what I wanted to talk about certainly wasn’t about Shizuku You should already know right? It’s about your abnor with Shizuku to observe Hajied it was the proper tied It was different from the playful atave off a radiance of a sharp blade

Gaharudo cut to the chase and asked the biggest reason for roup

[I’ve heard about it to soree from princess Ririana You’re soreat labyrinths and obtained the ability to create artifacts……completely repelled the Majinzoku’s army, and was able to travel the distance which would normally take 2 months in less than 2 days, such an artifact Is it true?]

[Ahh]

[And you have no intentions of sharing those artifacts with neither the Kingdo that power……do you think we’d allow such a thing?]

[Whose permission is required? If I’ to do about it?]

Gaharudo steeled his eyes to Hajime’s response

The E her teeth and orrying nonstop The bodyguards behind Gaharudo began to release bloodlust before Gaharudo did In contrast, the presence of the people ere hiding in the rooan to dio state

Towards the tensed air Kouki’s group had stiff faces and steeled theroup completely warded off the breeze-like bloodlust with their own heavy bloodlust which could be felt sticking onto their skins, then callanced at the locations of where the hiding people’s hidden presences were [Have we been noticed?] they said

did they notice properly, their presence that could be felt shook slightly

[Hahaha, stop, stop it We were coenuine flesh and blood ht noe’d be co hysterically and hid his aerous airs also ly

[Why do you look like you’re enjoying this so much?]

[Oi, oi, I’uy, it’ll be a lie to say that your heart doesn’t dance around right?]

Kouki’s group, although they couldn’t understand as going on, they let out relieved breaths because the atmosphere was less tense, Hajime also tsukkomied the unusually happy Gaharudo Gaharudo’s ansas definitely one of those who believe in the abilities reign supreot there are quite outrageous Oi, where did you find them? For there to be women of this caliber, I want to ask you a request directly…allow us You’re in over your head…no, it ht be fine if it’s Teio]

[~!? Wh, what did you……say, master casually wants to selltreated so…I can’t get enough of it Haa~ Haa~]

[There’s a slight problereat woman appearance-wise]

[Sorry, even the E with pervertedness is too ht in front of the person being talked about! Kuu~uu, N~, N~, surely, after this I’ll be forcefully taken by his Majesty, ht before e my underwear]

Even Gaharudo and the expression Then they turned their gaze to Hajied thehis throat

[As for ininzoku there? I’ve never seen an Usagininzoku with that kind of hair before and she coarded my bloodlust as well That ht a while ago, how about that one?]

Towards Gaharudo’s word "Toy’s", Shia’s eye twitched for an instant in reaction Yue as next to her, clasped her hand quietly underneath the table

[Even if you tell , you o check theh they’re a woman and a child, they’re quite----]

[I’h Caht were already rescued He’s probably trying to ask baiting questions Compared to that, Hajime’s ansas only a line

However, Gaharudo’s attack wasn’t over yet

[Ho~o, those fellows had special short swords and equipment on the 5-star level, even then you’re not interested, Synergist()?]

[None]

[…I see By the way, yesterday, there were soeon, the Imperial castle was easily invaded and they escaped, that kind of thing could only be done with a special artifact’s( ) about it?]

[I don’t know]

[……Ha~a……then it’s fine This is the last question I want to know of……what do you think of God?]

[I’et it already Jeez, you’re such an unsocial brat]

Gaharudo was cursing as he scratched his head ~Gari Gari~ However, he still had a somewhat happy expression He seeued with Frouessed Hajime’s was connected with the Hauria tribe, he noticed that the prisonbreak was through Hajiuidance

And he seemed to understand Hajime’s stance on this world’s problems from his short answers At least, it seeainst Haji chased out of the Ireat evidence

Then the ti in the back quietly whispered into Gaharudo’s ear, Gaharudo slowly left his seat

[Ma~a, I heard the minimum amount that I wanted to hear……rather, I already understood, so all is well Ah, that’s right Tonight, we’ll be holding princess Ririana’s welcome party By all means, please attend It’ll also serve as h the truth is different, if you didn’t know of it, the blessings as a "Hero" or "God’s Apostle" would be good I’nored Kouki and their dumbfounded looks when they heard the explosive remarks suddenly dropped into their ears, and provocatively stared at Hajiallantly left the room
