“I was actually thinking of asking the gate guards at first, but thinking again, I considered that doing this was a better idea since the King will also be contacted when I come here.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-san…” (Ange)
Hearing my story, Ange-san now had a troubled look on her face.
“I can go to His Majesty to tell him about Yuna-san’s visit.” (Ange)
“You probably didn’t need to. If I wait here, he’ll come, I think, so it’ll be fine.” (Yuna)
“Only Yuna-san would treat His Majesty the King that way. Ah, no, Ellelaura-sama might treat him like that as well.” (Ange)
“What, I’m treating him like Ellelaura-san?” (Yuna)
“Anyway, come right in, for now.” (Ange)
Ange-san brushed off my question with a smile and let me into the room.
“Bear?” (Flora)
As I entered the room, Flora-sama noticed me and came running up to me.
“You came to visit me?” (Flora)
“I’m here to see Flora’s father, so I thought I’d meet him here.” (Yuna)
“My father?” (Flora)
“Yes, so can I stay here for a while?” (Yuna)
“Yes!” (Flora)
Flora-sama showed me a big smile.
Then, I summoned Hugging-bear and Swaying-bear to play with Flora-sama, while I sipped the tea Ange made for me and waited for the King.
“Yuna-san, what are you going to do if His Majesty the King doesn’t come?” (Ange)
“In that case, I’ll go home.” (Yuna)
My calculations should be happening soon.
There was no doubt that the soldier who was guarding the gate went to the King. And he would have been notified of my arrival.
Even if the King himself did not come here, he would send at least someone to summon me.
Ange looked troubled at my response, but soon enough, the King arrived at Flora’s room.
“Why are you in Flora’s room?” (King)
He said this to me as soon as he entered the room.
“I thought if I came here, I could see you.” (Yuna)
“What do you think you are making a King do?” (King)
“It’s because I didn’t know how to properly meet the King.” (Yuna)
“Why didn’t you ask Ellelaura about it?” (King)
I also thought about that idea but decided not to go ahead with it.
“I only got notified by Sanya-san earlier when we were at the Adventurers’ Guild. Anyway, what’s the reason for the summons?” (Yuna)
“I heard that you gave that big Scorpion to the Adventurers’ Guild.” (King)
“They said they needed it for an event, and I didn’t want to keep it forever.” (Yuna)
“I told you that if you ever want to sell it, I would buy it.” (King)
I did remember him saying something like that.
“But how did you know about it when it was only shown once during the event yesterday?” (Yuna)
“Because Ellelaura reported it to me; you were watching the event with Ellelaura, right?” (King)
I also remembered that Ellelaura-san had said something about an inspection tour. I thought she was just using it as an excuse to skip work.
Was she really doing her job?
“And I also heard about cockatrice.” (King)
“For those, they were monsters I encountered and defeated when I went to the elven village with the Guild Master, Sanya-san” (Yuna)
I made no promises to the King regarding that.
“It looks like you had wyverns as well.” (King)
“It’s the wyverns I defeated when I encountered the 10,000 monsters. Did you want them as well?” (Yuna)
“I’m not picking on you. You killed those monsters. You’re free to do what you want with them.” (King)
I didn’t get his point.
“Then what’s the reason for the call?” (Yuna)
“I’m just checking in with you. I heard that you won’t give up on those monster’s magic stones. Are you going to sell it to someone else?” (King)
“Hmm? I have no intention of selling them to anyone right now.” (Yuna)
