144 Episode 37: Emperor, Visit
Tea party for four, then after dinner and a hot tub I'll be alone with Yufi in my private room.
It was about the Magic Birthday Festival that they were cut out of Uffi where they took their seats, making sure they were shoulder to shoulder with each other.
"It is named the Magic Birthday, but the progression itself is not exaggerated. The purpose of the Birthday Festival is only to feel the benefit of magic and hence magic props. It's about selling magic props themselves and revealing new products made using magic props."
"It's easy if you're just going to say that the big markets that the state supports are going to develop."
Scale isn't the only thing that's easy to work with, but it's not going anywhere. That's all you have to do to control movement if more people, and you're going to need root and bottom preparation.
"It is primarily a festival for the people of the King's Capital, but some will take to the King's Capital from all over because it is telling the whole country. We are mobilizing the Knights for festival security, but we are also making a formal request to the Adventurers Guild from the state to gather manpower. Now we have enough people."
The Adventurer Alliance is also asking for more jobs than shortages of manpower.
It is well known throughout the country, so naturally some adventurers were hired as escorts when taking a trip to Birthday. I think some adventurers are being asked to escort them one way, although some will be making requests back and forth.
This request for security is aimed at such adventurers. Of course, there's a reason I laid eyes on an adventurer who took a trip to the Birthday Festival, even though he's aiming to get some of the adventurers who stay in the Wang capital as well.
"Birthdays are divided into days, so they can be divided between the day you get a security job and the day you tour the market. I think it would be a good income, especially for new American adventurers who still make less money. Hopefully you'll be buying magic gear with that money."
"That's a unique idea for a former adventurer."
Couscous and Uffi laugh. The circumstances of adventurers are also changing due to the propagation of demonic props, so many people want to have a set of demonic props if they are going on an expedition. But demon props are pretty expensive. Some people can't reach that easily.
This time, it will be a request directed at such still less earned adventurers. Security jobs are less life-threatening, and you can expect to make money. If the money is spent at the festival to be restored, even if it is a wish or a fulfillment, or if the adventurer spends it to find magic equipment and equipment with the money he earns, it will also protect his life.
An adventurer who can survive long is a valuable resource. Even if he or she never makes it, if he or she can share his or her experience with subsequent adventurers, he or she may improve the overall survival and quality of the adventurer. With that wish, I asked the Adventurer Alliance to work for me from the country.
This is what I suggested to Uffi. I'm not saying it's a lot of money, but I'm using the state budget, so I'm still expected to be able to pay a small amount of compensation. I think it would be a good amount for a day job.
"Birthdays are the main festival offering, with the spread of demonic props and public announcements. This time the nobility is well run, but the Ministry of the Spirit is planning to hold a public concert on the last day."
"Oh, it's a public performance by a band using demonic instruments, isn't it?
"Yeah, it's a nightclub after that. For those involved in the operation, it can be called a consolation meeting."
This time, nobility is on the operator's side. Especially when it comes to bureaucracy, people are rushing around busily so that they don't have to worry about enjoying the festival. Therefore, there are few opportunities for them to enjoy the festival themselves.
So although it's branded as a night club, the contents are consolation clubs, as Yufi put it. I hope that this day will heal my fatigue greatly because I will have a day that I will not be distracted until the last day.
"Here's the visit of His Majesty Emperor Lukeheim. You're busy."
"Yep. There will also be preparations for the feast and the procession. I think I can breathe a sigh of breath if I keep going until the night club."
Once the festival begins, the operation of the day, security, etc. will be under the jurisdiction of the Knights. I had plans to take a breather there, but I also have to make this welcome because I have decided to visit Emperor Lukeheim.
"I'm busy, because opposition is just passive. If I manage, I'll turn around."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, because Emperor Lukeheim revealed it in his belly. That's why I'm not going to be alarmed..."
It is also urgent as the Kingdom of Palletia when it comes to building relations with the Empire. There was my assassination noise, and as a Uffi, I want to spread good relations with the Empire quickly, both internally and externally.
I also want Gotagota with the Empire to end and concentrate on the development and operation of the Magic City. This can also be called a battlefield. I've been preparing for that, and all I have to do is pick up the day.
"What are your plans during Emperor Lukeheim's stay?
"First of all, that's a welcome at the royal castle. Then he wants to see how the birthday actually goes, so I plan to accompany him on this. Annis would like to join us."
Copy that.
"Except for the visit to Castle Town, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law will deal with Emperor Lukeheim, so you can go out with Annis with patience the next day."
"That's what I'm most excited about."
Explore the Birthday Festival with Yufi and patience, that was my greatest pleasure at the Birthday Festival. I am also curious how demonic props have become used among the people now, but I am still most glad to be able to tour the castle town with Yufi.
We try to make time together in the outhouse, but when we go out like this, we find ourselves in a difficult position to make time. I'm not dissatisfied, but the truth is that I don't want to miss it if I get a chance.
"... I'm looking forward to it too"
Yufi took my hand as she smiled. I too am caught laughing back at the laughter of Uffi intertwining my fingers. Nature and Uffi come closer and kiss just to touch.
The power of Yufi's hand to hold his hand grows stronger, and he snuggles himself up to be sweet. It makes me laugh deeply at such cute tricks.
"Good luck rewarding you, let me spoil you with um today"
"... you said that?
"I told you?
Fill the distance like Uffi tries to peek in and smile like a prankster. Besides, when I gave it back with the same grin, they laughed like they were blowing each other out.
It was right after this that I moved to bed. It's been a long time since we've had a night to touch each other's warmth.
When time soon passed and the magic birthday approached the day before, the Empire contacted me that Emperor Lukeheim would bring an escort.
The planned itinerary seemed to be going well, and the messenger from the Empire arrived at the king's capital, Sara Terrier, without anything particularly happening.
"Anis, are you familiar?
"Won't you stop turning your consciousness on me first? Mother."
A mother with a more riddled face than usual skips a novel against me when she shows up to welcome Emperor Lukeheim. I don't know if it's time for me to give the boulder a chance, but for my mother, am I still a Kiteretsu daughter?
"... they are that Lukeheim emperor, so you have to be more attentive than usual"
"Hmmm......"
Ringly tightening her expression, Mother, the father next to her had a subtle look on his face. When I saw your father's hand rubbing his stomach, I thought he was nervous, too.
"... Speaking of which, does your father know Emperor Lukeheim?
"Um, of course there is.... To be honest, I don't like it."
My father approached me and whispered in my ear. I was surprised because I didn't expect my father to whisper in such a whisper, but he sure doesn't seem to go very well with that militant looking Lukeheim emperor and his father.
But did Emperor Lukeheim intend to change his country by becoming emperor because he was impressed by his father's words? But you said that your father didn't say it directly, you heard your father's words over your mother.... Maybe Father, you don't know?
"It wasn't long before I became king back then. I was worried because I couldn't lick it..."
"Don't be alarmed just because you left the throne, Orphanus"
"... um"
... Good luck, Father! Gently take a distance from your sad father and head towards Uffi. There was Lord Grants beside Yufi, and it seemed like the two of us were talking about something.
Externally, I'm no longer a parent or a child, but that still doesn't change the fact that they're both parents or children. I thought it would be nice to interrupt the conversation, but it's also somewhat unsettling to be beside my mother. So I go all the way to the side of the two of us.
Lord Grants noticed me if I approached him and offered me a respectful courtesy.
"Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, you are in a good mood"
"Lord Grants, you're out of time. Looking good, above all."
"Her Royal Highness Sister Wang also seems to be a good victor and above all. We're busy with each other, and we have fewer opportunities to see each other face."
"Haha, so is that"
Since I started heading to the City of Magic, my meeting with Lord Grants has diminished. I still had a chance to meet up with you before I started building magic cities.
"We also hear that the construction of the Magic City is going well. But it's a busy thing to do."
"Yeah, but it's a good opportunity, so I'm welcome."
"Really? But at dawn, not only Her Majesty the King, but Her Majesty the Queen."
"... the Duke of Grants? Sounds like it includes something, though?
Jesus, Lord Grants said as he glanced over his shoulder as he said, looking at Uffi sideways. It was Ufi who reacted quickly to that.
Yuffi is smiling, but this smile is a threatening smile. Lord Grants' shoulder, intimidated by Yufi, laughs invincibly.
"No, we simply have concerns that Her Majesty the Queen may be overstuffing her affairs"
"... because self-management is also the Queen's business"
"That's great. Your Majesty is growing every day."
"... after all, doesn't it contain something?
"I'm just caring about you. Please love us, Your Majesty."
Yufi frowned at the way Lord Grants put it like it was smoke. When I saw the look on Yufi's face like that, Lord Grants smiled like a prank.
I think since Yuffi became queen, Lord Grants has come to make a statement that makes fun of Yuffi. Yuffi is only a little sharp when Lord Grants is dealing with him as to how it touches him.
Are we close or not? But I don't think it's a bad change, so I'll keep an eye on it.
"Her Majesty Queen Uphilia! Soon a group of His Majesty Emperor Lukeheim will be arriving!
"I got it. Now, ladies and gentlemen, get ready to welcome you. Alignment, please."
One knight came to the side of Uffi to inform me of the arrival of Emperor Lukeheim.
Uffi, who received that report, nodded one thing and gave instructions to everyone present on this occasion. Each will be ready to welcome Emperor Lukeheim for a predetermined position.
And then the messengers from the empire, led by Emperor Lukeheim, appeared without even putting them down. Emperor Lukeheim, who has entered with great prestige, moves ahead of Ufi first.
"Her Majesty Queen Uphilia, a generous welcome. Painful"
"His Majesty Emperor Lukeheim, welcome to the Kingdom of Palletia. I welcome you with all my heart."
Emperors Ufi and Lukeheim advanced into each other. Uffi grinned and His Majesty Emperor Lukeheim greeted each other with a belligerent grin, shaking his hand.
In later history, a busy day began here, when we could tell that the relationship between the Kingdom of Palletia and the Aylene Empire was a decisive moment of change.
