"Sir, actually, yesterday, Master Kwang Pak's daughter, Master Aujin, was almost taken away.
Doki opens his mouth as if prompted by me. The emperor looks a little surprised and replies.
"What, Aujin?"
Yes. So, Master Linos here, who happened to be there, was suspected ...... to be the culprit, and he was almost taken prisoner by Kwanpak's family, Hagi and the others."
When the emperor heard these words, he looked at me with an apologetic expression on his face. Then he slowly looked up at the ceiling and sighed heavily.
"I've got my eye on Aujin, or ....... I've heard that kidnapping is popular, but I didn't think they'd kidnap an ogin. ...... you didn't hear anything about that when I brought you the kachin this morning, did you?"
I'm sorry, sir.
"No, I meant Doki. I'm sure he didn't want you to worry about Maro, did he? Good, and thank you."
"Oh, no, that's a shame. ......"
"So, what are Orjin and the others doing now?"
"He's in my store. You know, ......."
Since Dawki seems reluctant to say anything, I will speak on his behalf.
"They're sleeping in Dawki's store."
"Sleeping? Hate? What do you mean?"
"No, I was worried about Doki since he was in trouble just yesterday, so I went to check on him again this morning. Not that it was the right thing to do, but I also brought in some salt from my house, along with his compatriots. ...... Yes. Poseidonians can transfer. And this morning, when I went to his store, I met a woman named Satsuki and her princess. And we talked in the store, well, I got into a bit of an argument with Satsuki ......... ....... I was trapped by her space magic, and I managed to escape, but in doing so, she put me to sleep.
"Na ...... what? You escaped from Satsuki's spatial magic with ......?"
Yes, by chance. Well, this Satsuki was actually planning to take the princess to the neighboring kingdom of Tana. ......"
"What?"
The answer must have been unexpected to the emperor. He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I saw in Satsuki's past that she had been trying hard since she was a child, but one day she was suddenly manipulated by a man, and that relationship is still going on today. The man who manipulated him was the one who planned and executed the kidnapping of the selfish princess.
"It seems that the Kingdom of Tana is planning to make Satsuki and the princess do something.
The emperor sighed loudly again. Then he slowly clapped his hands three times.
"...... to this."
A woman appeared. She was walking slowly, but her speed to come to this room was out of the ordinary. My presence detector felt as if there was a sudden reaction outside this room. Who the hell are these people?
"Go to Doki's store and bring Ozin and Satsuki."
Yes, sir.
"My Lord."
Suddenly, Doki opens his mouth. The woman was about to stand up, but she glanced at the emperor, and then quickly straightened her posture and sat down on the edge of her seat.
I'll go get her.
"Oh, you're the one? Transference ......? Are you all right?"
Yes, no problem. It's just that ...... my people will be metastasizing with me. Is that OK with you?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Well then."
With that, Dawki vanished from the scene. Within a minute, he was back here with Zhuang and the others. The women were still asleep. Dawki looked quite sick and his shoulders were moving up and down. I silently charged him with MP.
And at the same time I woke up the women who were sleeping in the wards.
The princess wakes up with a big yawn. Satsuki and Hagi wake up slowly.
"Is this ...... where I am?"
"Mi-Tei-sama! Hi-Sama! Master Hee!"
"Uh-oh? Ew!"
The women are frozen. The emperor is still looking at them with a smiling face. He slowly shifts his gaze to us and speaks to us in a gentle tone.
"I'm sending someone away. I'm sorry, but would you excuse us?"
"Sh, but, my Lord the Emperor: ......"
"Good, Dawki. Don't worry about Maro. It's the Lord Rinos. ....... I am truly sorry for the trouble I have caused you. Please give me a moment to apologize and thank you for your kindness. I am sorry about this.
With that he bowed deeply to me.
"No, don't worry about it. Please raise your head."
He slowly raised his head, still smiling.
"Please leave. ......"
The woman standing by the emperor's side urged us to leave the room. I looked at the faces of the women, all of whom were pale, and Hāgi was left shivering and prostrate. Dawki led us out of the building and we went straight to his store.
"You were shaking." ......
A few moments after we left the pavilion, Chi-wan opened his mouth in disgust.
"Oh. Dawki, is the emperor, who has such a cheerful face, still a scary person?
"No. He is a very gentle man. ....... But in front of the emperor, I just can't tell a lie.
"Can't lie?"
"Yes. They can sense your mood, your evil intentions, so if you lie to them, they will know right away. And if you are gently told in that way, ...... most people will confess."
"Do you mean you have some such skill ......?"
"I'm not sure about that, but I'm not sure about ......."
"I don't know what you mean. But from what you just told me, those women are getting a lot of things spewed in front of the emperor, aren't they?"
"Yes. I think he has told us everything he knows.
You have tremendous skills.
I don't know. I won't ask too much about your skills, and Teishin-sama can't talk about it either. ....... But he talks to us in a friendly way like that, and he never fails to thank us for our kindness, and he is a very sincere person.
"Hmmm, well, sure, I can understand why you'd want to help them somehow. ....... But that look is unusual. He had a magnificent horn on his head. Are you a human ......?"
"No, I heard it was a mixture of ogre and human blood."
"Or an ogre. ......"
While we were having this conversation, we arrived at Doki's store. Bente, who had brought the salt with us that morning, was waiting there.
"Ah, mister, welcome back," he said.
"Ah, Mr. Bente. You're back. Did the salt go well?
Hey. I brought them to all the remaining five towns. They are all very happy. And one of the masters from Minamimachi said he would like to have a meeting of the masters in the near future. He also wanted to thank the person who gave him the salt.
Oh, I see. Thank you very much for your hard work. This is ...... for today. Please have a drink with us.
Doki pulls a small piece of silver from his pocket and gives it to him. Bente takes the money gratefully, thanks him politely, and leaves. Afterwards we talked about the future, and Dawki looked unconcerned, saying that he would leave everything in the hands of the emperor. I wondered if the Kwang Pak family would come after the princesses, but he said not to worry about that. He said he would go on with his business for the night and headed for the restaurant. As we were worried about the situation, we asked Zhenhai from Posehay to stay here with us. He said it was no problem, and Dawki was very grateful.
We told him to send a reminder message as soon as possible and we headed home. I had expected a little more trouble, but the day went by without a hitch. But it was the calm before the storm, and it was not until the next day that Doki sent me an urgent reminder.
