Everyone is sitting in a chair.
[What kind of work did Yuna do?] Tilia
[I just asked her to deliver a package to the city of Dezerto.] King
The King emphasizes that he just asked me to deliver a package.
Well, that’s true.
[The city of Dezerto? It’s a city where the lake water has a problem, right?] Tilia
[You know that?] King
[Yeah, but I only heard from a child of a merchant in the school that there was a bit of a problem in the water of the lake. So I don’t know the details.] Tilia
It hadn’t turned into a big problem, yet It seems some rumors had already spread.
[In order to solve the problem of the lake, I asked Yuna, who happened to be in Capital city, to take the water magic stone to the city of Dezerto. Yuna’s bears were fast after all.] King
The King explained why he asked me, but did not mention it as the Kraken’s magic stone. Tilia was convinced by his words and she didn’t seem to doubt any of it.
[So, were you able to safely deliver the magic stone?] King
[I was able to deliver it safely. However, there was a problem.] Yuna
When I said the word , the King’s face suddenly change.
[Tell me, what happened?] King
[For the time being, I would like you to read the letter from Balima-san. If there’s something you don’t understand, I’ll explain it.] Yuna
It’ll be faster if he read Balima-san’s letter than have me explain everything from the very beginning. I don’t know what’s written in it, but judging from Balima-san’s tone, it should be all included.
And it’s a hassle to tell something that was not written in the letter.
I gave Balima-san’s letter, bitten by the Bear Puppet, to the King. With a subtle face, the King received the letter from the Bear Puppet’s mouth and carefully read the letter. Then, the King’s expression gradually changes.
And, after reading it, he put his hand on his head like he’s massaging it and released a big exhale.
Then, he looked at me.
[Thinking of about it, I did ask you to go, but I never expected that this was the case.] King
[What? What was written?] Eleanora
When the King handed over the letter in silence, Eleanora-san stood up and received the letter. Then, Tilia went and peeked into the letter, even close enough to touch Eleanora-san’s shoulder.
As they read the letter, their expressions changes.
[Ara-ra…] Eleanora
[Is this true?] Tilia
[I have to thank you.] King
[It’s my job to deliver the magic stone. What I did over there was my on own discretion.] Yuna
[Maybe so, but I’m the one who let you go as insurance.] King
As expected, it was something like that.
If it’s just to deliver, it didn’t have to be me.
[If there’s nothing, then there’s no problem. But if something happened, it might be too late. I couldn’t send knights and wizards of the country from here.] King
I also heard it from Balima-san, there was a reason for them to consider.
He can’t send knights or wizards of this country because it will create a big issue for the neighboring country. So, he has to ask the adventurers, but depending on what he’s asking to do, it’ll have to be a high-rank adventurer.
With that in mind, it was better to ask me to go.
[Yuna-chan, are what written on this all true?] Eleanora
[I don’t know the contents of the letter. but there shouldn’t be a lie mixed in it.] Yuna
I don’t think Balima-san will write a lie. though if he did, it’ll be written to exaggerate things.
[To subdue hundreds of worms… And a big worm as well.] Tilia
[And the subjugation of a large scorpion in the underground while searching something in the pyramid…] Eleanora
[The worms were fought by multiple adventurers, so I’m not alone.] Yuna
I just dug them up. The big (sand)worm was smaller than the big worm that appeared at 10,000 monsters incident, and I didn’t feel evil from it. Unlike the worm which appeared at 10,000 which was already twice as large, I felt something evil from it.
The other big worm was just a normal big monster.
Besides, I have experienced subduing the black viper and the big worms in the past, so I could easily defeat it.
[But you killed the big Scorpion by yourself.] Eleanora
[Well, I thought I could handle it.] Yuna
The three people in front of me were amazed at my words.
But there must be someone in the kingdom who can defeat that Scorpion, right?
[But why did you decide to explore the underground? It’s not written in here.] Eleanora
