One of the previous knights came back to report. The area is still dim and will take about an hour before it gets brighter.
Normally, I wouldn't drive a carriage at such a time, but until Gunjo City... it didn't take a day for me to meet Tenma, so Merlin said herself and moved on.
But the knights, knowing how Merlin felt, drove the carriage to this point, taking turns taking a break without complaining a word.
"Um, I'm sorry I couldn't. But now I can finally meet Tenma... Chris, I'm sorry, but I need you to get to the gate first and get me clearance."
Merlin gave Chris the royal crest he kept more than Alex did, saying so.
With this crest, I could barely make it through most of the place, but I decided to dare to turn to Chris as a touch so as not to confuse the gatekeepers.
"Ha! Got it!
He stretched his spine on the horse to salute him, and Chris ran away with one knight.
Thanks to putting Chris first, there was no particular confusion in the city of Gunjo... However, since most of them had never seen the real item of the Royal Seal, the Knights captain who was there confirmed it, so Merlin later became aware that no one suspected it to be fake.
"Mark, how soon are we gonna get to that full pavilion?
"If it was from here, we should get there soon...... whoa, there it is, there it is!
Mark pointed at one of the lodgings and shouted so,
"There's a queue of people... are they really over there?
What Merlin saw was a large number of people lined up in the early morning, unlike the inn.
I stopped the carriage straight near the line and tried to talk to the three girls who were lining up near the entrance.
"Grandpa, we have to line up behind you!
"If you go sideways, the Duke will piss you off!
"The tail of the line is just around the corner."
and three cat beast girls caught my eye.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that. But we've been running errands for people staying at this inn... By the way, what line is this?
The three apologized for realizing that they had made a mistake and told me what this line was.
"This is a line to buy sweets!
"It's been a very popular treat lately, and if we don't line up early in the morning with a reputation that there's nothing more in Wang Du, we'll soon be sold out!
"We've been in line for an hour now too, and soon there were so many more people"
Apparently so. Merlin thanked the three of them and headed to the front door of the inn where they were taught.
"Hey, you got a dozzle! It's me, it's Mark!
One big man came from behind the inn when he heard a sound that responded to that voice.
"Oh, Mark, it's been a long time! I haven't seen you in years!
Unlike the way it looked, the man approached me in an atmosphere that seemed easy to talk to.
"Don't come all of a sudden... if you'd let me know in advance, I'd have been ready to welcome you..."
"Bad, bad, well, leave me alone. It's this guy I need you for."
Mark missed his body and introduced Merlin, who was behind him.
"This is... First time, I'm Mark's old friend and my name is Dozzle. We've heard more rumors about Merlin the Wise."
"Oh, it doesn't matter that much. As a matter of fact, I heard that my grandson is being looked after here..."
"Is that your grandson?
"Oh, my name is Tenma, and I'm 15 years old."
and when Merlin gives the name of Tenma, Dozzle does his hand on his forehead,
"Tenma is not here anymore......"
and told Merlin. Merlin was grumpy but quickly regained her mind,
"Don't you know where he went!
and stuffed into a dozzle, but the dozzle,
"I'm sorry… I haven't heard the details, but all I know is that I'll go to the dungeon city before I travel."
"... well... by the way, did the white wolf and the family of the slime have any?
Asking Dozzle to confirm that,
"Yes, there was certainly a white wolf sillowmall in that tenma and a family member named Slime Slalin"
I assured him. Having heard that word, Merlin said,
"Oh... that's certainly not my grandson's temper... good... he's alive..."
and shrugged in tears in its eyes.
Until Merlin calmed down, everyone watched without a voice, and in anticipation of calming down, Dozzle,
"There are several people in Tenma who were close to each other in this city. If you don't mind, why don't you listen to me?"
and gave me a few names, but when I heard that name, Merlin said,
"... it's not just a woman's name..."
and groaned. That's when Dozzle...
"Three of them are here right now, so I'm bringing them in."
As soon as I said that, the girls I had lined up in front of the store earlier.
"Is that your grandfather who wants to talk to us about Tenma?
There was a paper bag with sweets in the girls' hands, and the paper bag said 'Tenma sweets'.
They say the girls' names are Lily, Nelly and Milly and they're the sisters of the triplets.
When Merlin said she was Tenma's grandfather and wanted to know where Tenma was going, the three spoke in unison.
When I heard about it, he said that he had known Tenma since she helped him where he was in danger, that he was the closest thing in the city, that he did it together at Tenma's first request to stop the bandits, that if he told Tenma to take him with him, he refused, etc., and that he only decided where to go with Dungeon City.
In thanking the three of them, Merlin went for the guild to meet the next person introduced.
That's where I met the guild chief and the deputy guild chief, who called his name Max and Flute, and Tenma said he was close to Flute.
"He says he's Tenma's uncle... thank you very much Tenma for your help"
and a woman named Flute has bowed her head.
I was surprised to hear Merlin's name there, but when I started talking to her, she told me a lot.
Tenma was more active than its own rank, poor quality adventurers were greatly reduced thanks to Tenma, and the Alliance's rating was increased due to Tenma's activity.
But they also say this flute only hears that Tenma's destination is a dungeon city.
The next thing Merlin was on his way to the city council, where he met a man named Marx and told him the requirements, then his niece would be more familiar with him, and he called me here on purpose.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Serna. Your grandson Tenma saved your life."
and told me why.
The story was that when the village where I lived was attacked by bandits and several women in the village were being enslaved and in terrible sight, Tenma, who had been deceived at a false request, noticed the anomaly in the village and helped us.
Serna doesn't seem to know where to go as well as ever.
Trying to get to the next place, from Serna when we split up,
"If you see Tenma, I will always be grateful,"
I was asked to tell you. Merlin acknowledged and thanked him and headed to the Knights headquarters at his next destination.
He said it was the Captain of Unit IV and the Duke of Sanga's three daughters who were close to Tenma.
"I really know a lot of women..."
I also thought Merlin liked Tenma, but as far as their reactions so far, it doesn't look like they've gotten along with men and women.
"Is it hectic... or is it just dull..."
I have no idea which one it is, but at least when I met Tenma, I decided to think that it would be better if I didn't have to worry about my grandson.
If you divulge that to Mark,
"Should I be there or not?
Asked. So I said I should be there in the future, but maybe I shouldn't be there now.
The knights, including Edgar and Chris, seemed to laugh at the answer.
When I entered the Knights headquarters, it seemed that the conversation had already been made, and I was to be allowed straight to the captain's room.
"Nice to meet you! My name is Primera von Sanga and I am captain of the fourth unit of the Knights of Gunjo!
Upon being passed into the room, he was greeted with salute by a woman who had taken an upright stance in that room.
"I'm suddenly sorry... I'm Merlin, Tenma's grandfather. I don't know what I'm talking about, but take it easy."
Primera suggested me to take a seat at the words, and at the same time Primera made herself tea.
Apparently this primera is nervous not only about Merlin, but also about the presence of kings close guards like Edgar and Chris.
"So what do you mean you want to talk to me..."
"Well, it's not even that nervous. We're looking for Tenma, but we don't know where we're going, so we're asking someone who knows Tenma around."
to that word. Primera showed a slightly reminiscent bare gesture,
"With that said, Mr. Tenma seemed to have narrowed it down to three of the dungeon cities..."
So I'm going to answer the name of the place.
"I talked to my father afterwards, and he said," Isn't it the most powerful thing around Seigen? "
I don't have any certainty, but I also gave out and talked about what happened when I spoke to the Duke.
"It's Seigen and... isn't he passing by..."
I mourned so much, but I decided to give up and listen to Tenma.
The contents were that the Knights were so angry at the Tenma, that the Knights were so badly hit by the Tenma, and that they punished the aristocrats by joining hands with the Duke. When I heard that I had stunned the Knights on the boulder, I was surprised at first, but I decided to think it was natural for the Knights (human) opponents to do that because it was enough to defeat the Dragon Zombies... But what bothers me is the attitude of Primera when she talks about the Tenma... I don't care how she sees it, it doesn't seem like it's just respect... I don't know if she likes the Tenma.
So far, respect is stronger, but maybe I'll develop into a romantic emotion... the only other person I thought of was Chris, the same woman as Merlin.
By the way, Mark and the other knights seemed out of the question, and surprisingly, Edgar was also neglected by the erotic shanty.
In the meantime, I decided to take my next destination to the dungeon city of Seigen and leave the Knights headquarters tomorrow morning.
Today the Inn had its room secured at the full pavilion with the courtesy of Dozzle, and the meal also behaved like a lavish one.
It was a line of great surprise to hear that some of the dishes and desserts in it were recipes for the Tenma idea.
"Next time I'll try to reunite with Tenma!
Yes, it was Merlin who regained his temper.
When the sleeping tenma felt uncomfortable and slowly opened her eyes, there was a girl's face in front of her.
The tenma of a little sleepiness is:
(Beautiful hair...... take a good look, Jeanne is a beautiful girl......)
and so on, but when consciousness awakened a few seconds after that,
(Not good! This situation is too yummy... I need to get out of here somehow... so I'm gonna grab my clothes, Jan Noo)
Jeanne is grabbing my clothes in an attempt to escape, so I can't get out of bed. Plus Jeanne tangles her legs and buries her face in my chest... somehow, a good smell comes from Jeanne... not!
I try to take my clothes off to keep Jeanne awake, but every time she moves slightly, Jeanne pulls herself together.
Shit as it is, when I thought so, something moved behind Jeanne...... it's Shiloumal!
It's useless in Shiloumal! Is that what you conveyed, Shiloumal put his forefoot on the edge of the bed...
"Wong."
I barked... Shiloumaru is about to shake his tail and wish him away, but in front of me... Jeanne's eyes slowly open... over... I think so, blocking my ears with my free hands to withstand the expected sonic weapon...
"Phew. Phew."
And out of his mind, Jeanne fell asleep again... thank goodness... Jeanne's hand tried to get out of the gap away from her clothes...
"Cuddly"
Now Solomon raised his voice. And now it's time for Jeanne's eyes to be completely opened...
Looks like time has stopped around me for a while. Jeanne fell asleep and said hello, but before she could say it out, she woke up and looked at my face and solidified.
I couldn't move in a detour either, and for a while, I was supposed to stare at Jeanne at each other at close range.
Such silence was broken by the
"You're both hot ~. Are you with me early?
It was Aura's voice like a tear. Time flies in response to that voice...
"Ki, Ki, Ugu, Ugu"
"Don't shout in the morning, Jeanne"
It was Aura's fine play that stopped the sonic weapon. blocking Jeanne's mouth with his hands, and,
"Look closely, Jeanne. This is Tenma's bed."
Yeah, I'll tell Jeanne, Aura, in that gap, I'm gonna get out of bed and distance myself.
"Jeanne, you must have fallen asleep and dived into Tenma's bed on the other side anyway"
When Aura said yes, Jeanne roared in a low voice, wondering if there was any fusi to think of.
"Well, it's possible that Master Tenma drew Jeanne to her futon where she fell asleep, too!
A line is released from Aura's mouth that ruins her previous persuasion, and Jeanne stares at me as she blushes and moisturizes her eyes... Give me a break, when I look at Aura like,
"Ma'am, whether it's an accident or deliberately, Tenma needs to take the responsibility of being the same as a flattering young maiden!
and irrational things to say, but the atmosphere was emanating from Aura so that she wouldn't argue...
"Is that Aura's vegetable..."
But I'm not convinced that this will determine my future!
"Tell Aura from Jeanne too!... Hey, Jeanne..."
Jeanne thought she would disagree and tried to draw in her allies, and called out but she didn't get back. Why, when I looked at Jeanne,
"Peer... Responsibilities... Take... Marriage..."
He was whining some disturbing words, bugging his face bright red.
"Let's decide by majority, then. Sularin, Shiloumal, Solomon, you have the right to vote."
Aura trying to say that and force a majority vote,
"Hey, say what..."
"Opposite ~"
I raised my hand reflexively to that word.
"Master Tenma has decided to participate! Anything else..."
Shit! Though I see the Shilowmals,
"There is no compulsion, Dear Tenma!
That said, Aura blocked my gaze on Shiloumal and the others.
"You don't seem to be anywhere else...... then someone in favor ~"
I'm on the inside, there's no way the Shilowmals would agree, I thought so, but the result is...
"The case was passed with 3 in favour, 1 against and 2 abstentions!
and there was a winning aura doing a hail trio......
"Disabled…"
"No way. After the decision, it's void, you're not saying, are you? Dear Tenma,"
"No, this is mucko..."
"It's not such a cunning imitation to use my husband's position to make this result go away because Tenma, who has gained fame in this dungeon city, lost by a ma-sa majority vote, is it?
"No, this is hiccup"
"Ma-sa, what a shameless thing to say after losing a battle, even a coward, isn't it?
Shit... I'm not going to win on my own... Jeanne...
"It's embarrassing to ask for help from the same girl ~... Dear Te Ng Ma!
Stuffed... but I didn't know you were getting married...
"No - you're looking forward to your two kids -... it was my dream. Take care of Jeanne's kid!
Whatever you're going to take to your marriage...... then!
"………………………………………"
In vague terms, Aura glanced at me as she managed to find a way out.
"Well, let's forgive it with the phrase, I'll consider it for now... chip"
Why do I have to look at you like this... I don't have my hands on you... you're innocent... and Aura, stop pounding your tongue...
Even though I was struck, I started feeding Aura on Shiloumar and Solomon with the emotion of being a traitor, but they didn't know why they were being stared at.
The content of the majority vote, by the way, is:
Agreed = Aura, Shiloumal, Solomon
Disagree = Me (Tenma)
Abstaining = Jeanne, Slalin
was.
Regardless of the slurin of abstention, I didn't know why the Shiloumals turned in favor, but the Shiloumal thought circuit at that time was
Tenma = My favorite husband, parent, lover, food giver
Jeanne = colleague/lover/food giver
Aura = colleague/lover/food giver
is, in addition,
Tenma + Jeanne w/Aura = Cute people x3 · Food people x3 = Happiness x3
Tenma + Jeanne + Aura - (Jeanne + Aura) = 1 person who adores me · 1 person who gives me food = 1 happiness
The calculation with went through the back of Shiloumal's brain. I didn't think Jeanne and the others would be gone, but I thought that if Tenma and Jeanne were together, I would be sure that happiness would triple, and I turned to agree... I can also see that I made my own happiness a priority.
In Solomon's case...... I came to the same idea as Shiloumal, so I turned in favor.
For Slalin,
Emotionally, I want to be attached to my husband, Tenma, but unlike our own demons, it's a big deal that humans turn, so it's a muscle for the two of us to discuss, and it's wrong to talk around anyway.
Moreover, since I am slimy, it is not a good idea to cause extra confusion by acting.
It is most desirable for the two of them to discuss it to their satisfaction and draw conclusions.
I decided that, so I dared to abstain... plus Slalin,
(I'll preach to those two later)
I had decided... but unfortunately it was slime, so everyone would never notice that Slalin was thinking about it so much.
Jeanne then said,
"Peer... Responsibilities... Take... Marriage..."
And because it was still a bug, I had to abstain.
"Eh, today's appointment is to go get the Demon Nukes of the highly-ranked demons"
In an effort to shake off the feeling of sinking in, he announced so with a bright voice...
"Peer... Responsibilities..."
"Jeanne, please come back!
To Jeanne, who still remained bugged, Aura put a chop in her head at an angle of 45 ° diagonally.
"Muggy... is that it? My head hurts......"
To Jeanne, who apparently succeeded in restarting,
"Wake up? Let's get some breakfast and go to the dungeon!
Aura serves breakfast quickly.
Jeanne pinching her breakfast sandwich with her neck clenched, but at the end of the meal,
"Aura... I had a weird dream..."
said, but while Aura did not hear the contents,
"Oh, because that's probably not a dream. Jeanne has decided to run for Tenma's wife!
and Jeanne said so without incident as she cleaned up the plate she had finished eating.
"Heh... then I, marry Tenma..."
"Maybe I will, that's all. Don't worry about it now, Tenma will protect you responsibly, I hope you think so."
That's right, because I'm swinging here.
"Oh, yeah..."
and nodded with a dry laugh. I saw that. Jeanne was about to bug me again,
"Yes! Get ready!
and I started getting ready as I pushed Jeanne's back, so I didn't seem to have to bug her.
When I was ready, I headed straight to the dungeon and flew to my highest record level of 38.
"Look, compared to previous floors, the demons here are getting pretty strong, so don't go too far in front or behind!
"" Yes!
"Shiloumal, Solomon, Suralin, protect us both before I do!
"Wow!"
"Cui!"
Each one of my words will be placed. In turn, it feels like me, Solomon, Jeanne, Suralin, Aura, Shiloumal, etc.
