Negotiation (2)
208
“hey!!!!!”
With Johana’s shouting, Rey quickly started running away.
Darren touched his forehead as he watched Yohana, who is chasing after Rey, driven by evil.
For Darren, Johanna was usually a very reliable older sister, but when she got involved with Ray, things got worse.
Ray and Yohana were both idols to Darren, so it was hard to see them playing like that.
“Ahh!!”
Rei, who was caught up shortly after, rolled around the training ground with Yohana.
In the process, Ray eventually met Yohana’s groin once more.
Johanna was the first to hit him, and on the contrary, he screamed in surprise.
Rei crawled out from under Yohana and leaned against the wall with a tired face.
“No smell, no smell.”
Rey, who was exhausted from physical strength, took a deep breath and waved his hand.
Yohana smiled proudly because she was happy to have escaped the stigma of being a child even after showing such an ugly behavior.
Darren hurriedly shut Rey’s mouth, who was about to add something like ‘It’s still a bit salty’.
Darren was at peace.

Some more time passes.
Rey, who had almost fully recovered, stopped by the training ground.
Rey, who had unraveled herself at the training ground, swung her sword and muttered.
“I’ll have to ask you to re-tune the weapon to something better.”
When I was fighting in Alimo, I saw a lot of virtue.
I was able to fight more efficiently and safely than when I heard only Moros.
A good weapon was essential in order to save some of the shredded body.
There were a lot of things to be concerned about, such as the management and custodian, but it was a problem to be taken care of and contemplated.
Rey warmed up moderately and sat down in the corner of the training ground.
“Aphtel.”
[Yes, Master.]
“I have something to discuss…”
Ray brought up a story about Dragon Heart.
When Rey lied to Ernst about Dragonheart, Aptel was also there, so there was no need for a lengthy explanation.
“I need a … plausible theory to convince my lies.”
What Rey was asking for was a theory that contained ‘a way to strengthen the hearts of ordinary people with the fragments of the dragon heart owned by the imperial family’.
Of course, it wasn’t actually possible, so as long as it seemed reasonably plausible, it was okay.
The imperial family had no reason to consume the few pieces of Dragon Heart to test the theory.
“And… whether the heart strengthening is successful or unsuccessful, Dragon Heart is inevitably destroyed…”
When Ray added several conditions, Aftel stopped him.
[Dragon Heart is classified as the most important strategic item, so even if it is taken out, there is a high probability that it can be used under intensive monitoring.]
“Ah… well, how can I not?”
Ray made a sick sound.
Rei couldn’t come up with a perfect answer right now, how much preparation and how plausible he could deceive the imperial family without being suspicious.
Aftel opened her mouth again to Ray, who was worried.
[Once the conditions have been confirmed. However, there are limits to the creative activities I can do. You need Luna’s help to improve the perfection of the fake theory to the level that the Master wants.]
“Okay. Let’s work together with Luna.”
Luna also knew about Leia’s origins and Dragonheart.
All I had to do was ask him to create a fake theory while hiding only that Rey’s life was really short.
Ray asked Aftel just in case.
“That… as far as I can tell. So that Luna doesn’t misunderstand me for nothing.”
Aftel nodded as Rey tapped his chest.
[All right.]
Luna was the top administrator of the obelisk system, but Rey was Aptel’s highest commander.
As Rey ordered, Aptel could not reveal to others that Rey was dead.
“Well…”
Ray was pressing down on the back of his nose for nothing, but he felt popular.
It was Karen.
Karen found Rey inside the training ground and approached her with a bashful smile.
Her red hair, tied together, swayed gently following Karen’s footsteps.
When Rey spread the robe she had hung on the wall on the floor, Karen sat down on it without hesitation.
After that, a series of conversations ensued.
Rey slowly recounted what had happened in Alimo, excluding information that could be dangerous for Karen to know.
It was a very interesting story, but in fact, Karen did not enjoy the story of Rey’s journey.
Hearing Ray’s journey to build up achievements that the criminal could never achieve, he felt like he was in a completely different place and felt frustrated.
Still, with a smile, Karen, who was listening to Ray’s story, secretly confessed what she had hidden.
“I studied theology with the priests for a while while Ray was away.”
“Uh… Really?”
Rey looked a little shaky, but didn’t bruise Karen.
There were some problems with the denomination, but the clergy were usually good people.
Karen looked at Rey’s eyes and spread her hands to face each other.
Soon, a faint but warm halo of white light rose from between his hands.
“Five…”
Ray sighed in admiration.
The divine power is the mana that he originally had changed by the blessing.
The priests received the blessings of El-ram through acts such as prayer and meditation.
The divine power obtained through this process had a slight variation among individuals in its characteristics.
For example, when a strong will affects the divine power.
The priest was able to implement a sword similar to that of a knight by using the refined divine power, and was sometimes called a paladin.
Karen’s divine power wasn’t sharp or hard, but it was warm.
Karen smiled as she floated the light of divine power into the air.
“It’s difficult to achieve this level of divine power in such a short time, and the priests praised him for his talent.
Karen didn’t speak, but she murmured in embarrassment.
Of course, Karen was a gifted clergyman, but it was by no means a great genius.
It didn’t change the fact that he was versatile, but somehow not very good at it.
Karen was shivering, then forced herself to come up and stretched out her finger toward Rey.
“But… I’m glad I can help Rey if he’s hurt.”
Karen’s fingers ran around the back of Rey’s nose, which had previously had a scar.
Rey felt the touch of her slender fingers and slowly closed the distance with Karen.
Their lips touch each other.
Karen let out an exhilarating breath, then climbed onto Rey’s side and pressed her body close together.
Rey knew this was an open training ground, but he didn’t change the location.
I was a little afraid that I would cross the line without changing the location.
Rey and Karen chatted for quite some time on the spot.
*
By the time Ray and Karen started to mix their tongues.
Alesia was sitting alone at the table, sipping tea, and showing her disappointment.
It wouldn’t be very enjoyable to have tea and refreshments together, but I couldn’t touch refreshments because I had to lose weight.
Because of his flesh, Alesia often visits the training ground these days to wield her sword.
Actually, Alesia gained a lot of weight, so it wasn’t that her body was broken or anything like that.
However, it was true that the body had a lot of fat compared to the solid Spera.
Alesia, who had not yet escaped from the verbal abuse she had heard from Spera the other day, was quite passionate about her body shape.
You’ll end up with a stronger butt than Spera.
Alesia, who was sipping tea while thinking about it, got up from her seat in surprise.
The woman’s sixth sense, the ‘Alesia sensor’, was sounding a warning.
“My knight is trying to commit an affair again!”
Alessia trusted her sixth sense and went straight to the direction indicated by the ‘Alesia Sensor’.
But, someone appeared in front of Alesia, who was running away. It was Luna.
Alesia naturally turned to avoid Luna, but Luna also turned in the same direction.
“?”
left, right, left, right.
Whenever Alesia turned around, Luna also moved left and right to block the way.
Alessia, who became impatient, raised her voice.
“Rain, get out of here!”
“…”
After thinking for a while, Luna slowly shook her head.
Alesia, shocked by Luna’s protest, gasped and took a step back, then shouted with a triumphant face.
“Hmm, if you don’t get out of it, it will break through even by force!”
Whoops!
A wind spirit was summoned behind Alessia.
Seeing this, Luna raised her eyebrows slightly and summoned the Wind Spirit as well.
The wind spirit, which is bigger and stronger than the spirit of Alesia, has been materialized in the rain water.
Alesia, who looked back, checked her spirits who were scared, and immediately shouted out in anger.
“Why is everyone bothering me?!”
The quacking Alessia was taken by Luna to the restaurant, brewed tea, and handed out to comfort her.
It was quite expensive tea leaves, so Alessia was satisfied for the first time and sip the tea.

As time passed, spring weather arrived.
Rey checked the letter from Count Phillips near the walls of the Frislan Fortress.
The content itself didn’t matter.
It was the content of the count’s own gratitude and greetings.
Jenkinson, now able to walk, stood beside Ray and asked.
“Once you are awarded the title, it will be difficult for you to return to the Counts for a while.”
“I’m going to come in a group. What is the reason for this hardship? And the title… I don’t know.”
Even if his achievements and existence were publicly disclosed, such as receiving a title, only restrictions were placed on his actions.
Rey didn’t really care about his title or honor, so he wanted to replace his title with something else in return for a reward.
Even the emperor wouldn’t be comfortable with Rey’s name, so it wasn’t impossible as long as it was well coordinated.
Rey kicked the gravel on the ground and soon began to search the gravel field with both hands.
Seeing that, Jenkinson asked, puzzled.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m looking for pretty stones.”
“Why a stone?”
“I just remembered it, but I made a promise with Leia. I’ll be sure to bring a present on the way back from a trip. I’ll have to get it before I forget it.”
“…”
Jenkinson shook his head to interpret Ray’s words for a moment before asking, just in case.
“You’re going to bring the stones there as a gift to Leah?”
“Uh-huh, Master. Not just stones, but ‘pretty’ stones.”
crazy bastard.
Jenkinson, who swallowed the swear word, persuaded the servant.
“Why not buy a pretty doll or a writing instrument and present it as a gift?”
“…really?”
Jenkinson struggled to persuade Ray again by lowering his fists that kept rising.
Ray replied that he would find out first with an annoying face.
Jenkinson turned the topic around, suppressing the growing irritability.
“By the way, is there any reward that you would like to ask your Majesty the Emperor other than a title?”
“There are a few.”
Even if we put aside the Dragon Heart thing for now.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now that things have come to pass, there are a few more things to ask the emperor to put on as a reward for his achievements.
“Uh… there’s a ballot check I put out a long time ago.”
“…a karate check?”
“yes.”
Even if you can’t become a Sword Master.
“We need to help you recover what you put in your investment.”
Tuk!
Rey laid down the pretty pebbles she had originally intended to give as a gift to Leah and straightened her back.
Jenkinson, unable to understand Ray’s words, was about to ask another question, but Spera approached from afar.
“Ray, here you are.”
“Oh, Spera-sama. What’s going on?”
“I have some news to tell you. Your great-grandfather is coming to visit the fortress soon.”
“Ah… is that so?”
It meant that things on the side of the Alimo Kingdom had stabilized to some extent.
Rey, who felt that the time had come to build the discussion board, took a deep breath .
