Episode 22. Delayed expression of affection has an interest rate of 100% (4)
“I see. Other than that, there is nothing wrong.”
Eventually, I calmed the party down and had a one-on-one conversation with Ella. In the process, there was a lot of backlash, but I ignored them all.
“Yes. I couldn’t find anything different. But it’s thanks to him that I can have a leisurely conversation with Prause like this. Whoops.”
“Yes. I know that. However… ….”
I looked at Ella, who was sitting next to her.
“Why are you sitting next to me? The butler left the car across the street?”
I pointed to the teacup on the sofa table across from me. Ella lifts her ass with a swipe of her and brings the teacup in front of her.
“When the opposite s*x is talking, there is no law that says it must be across the street, right?”
“Certainly there is no such law.”
Still, this is a composition that only lovers can do!
“Ah, by the way, do you have any plans to visit Todia?”
“Todia spirit? Why?”
“It seems that my father has something to say about this incident. Besides, you promised to come to play before, but you just fought and died.”
“At that time, I had no choice but to visit to break off Princess Se-ri’s marriage, but now there is nothing special that would require me to go to Todia. And if you have a story to tell, isn’t it possible with a delivery scroll?”
Now that we knew of the possibility that the Battle of the Horses could be moved forward, we didn’t have much time.

The warriors must become stronger than they are now. However, now that it is difficult to contact monsters and demons, it will be difficult to become strong.
For now, it was best to increase the amount of mana and increase the proficiency of the skill.
As for the equipment part, I’ll have to somehow persuade the spirit kings, so it’ll be fine.
“Don’t be so cold. Isn’t Prause very interested in subjugating demons? There will surely come a time when we need to borrow Todia’s power someday. Wouldn’t it be better to become friends in preparation for that time?”
That was not wrong.
If the Great War between the Demons and Demons breaks out, Todia will be the family that will contribute greatly to the defense of the empire until the demon king is defeated, so it would not be bad to lay a foreshadowing ahead of time.
“I see… …. Not bad.”
“Then!”
“Yes. Let’s go to Todia Territory.”
Let’s take this opportunity to get closer with Todia.
Just by now, you must be going through a lot of trial and error before moving on to the 7th tier. Let’s use that as an excuse.
“Oh, and after talking with my father, can you hang out with me? Of course, it’s just the two of us besides the companions. I want to make memories together.”
No, you’re too explicit…….
I roughly expected this to happen when I said I wouldn’t give up, but I’m not sure how to respond to an active woman.
I wonder if it’s because I didn’t have a chance to meet such an active woman in that world because I wasn’t very good looking and I wasn’t talented either.
It was not easy to adapt.
She nodded her head, thinking that if she hadn’t been as busy as she is now and had been in a position where it would be easy to meet her, she might have been captured.
“If it’s just a little, I’ll take my time.”
“I will not disappoint you! If I was going to get married, I wanted to have a lot of dating!”
“Breast, marriage…… ?”
I was perplexed.
No matter how much you want to date on the premise of marriage, you suddenly mention marriage?
“My father allowed it. He said that if you’re as strong as Prause, you don’t have to be a noble. He said that it would definitely be a great help to Todia, and that even though she was indifferent when I saw her actions, she would take good care of her people, so she would protect me. Ah, but I told you to fix talking arrogantly to someone higher than you.”
One thing everyone is misunderstanding.
I had to point this out and move on.
It was just that I wasn’t strong.
I was a normal person.
Not to mention being weaker than Ella, it was a weak creature that should be protected rather than protecting someone.
However, the grand duke said that he was handing over his daughter without any conditions. I thought he would make a huge and violent objection, but rather push his back… ….
It was a really funny story.
“Oh, you said that too.”
“What is it?”
“I will kill you if you cross my legs.”
That’s the sound of tears.
“I don’t like Prause-nim crossing his legs either. Even if I look like this… I have a desire for exclusivity. I want the person I like to only look at me.”
You’re so aggressive, kid…….
“…… Didn’t you say you had no intention of dating yet?”
“I’m not asking you to date or get married right away. I don’t want to force it either. We just want to make memories.”
“I see.”
By the way, how can I go on a date in the Middle Ages?
Would you like to eat something tasty and take a walk? In modern times, there are many places to go and see with lovers, so there are many options, but in the Middle Ages, it was unknown.
In the first place, I couldn’t even afford to go on a date with a girl.
If you think about it, I came to this world and lived really hard.
I inadvertently laughed at the thought that I would have to live even harder than now until the Great War of Man and Horse is over.
Then, now that the next goal has been decided, it’s time to call the party.
“You guys, stop eavesdropping and come out.”
I said as I raised my teacup. Then the door opened and the warriors came out stealthily while watching. Were you really eavesdropping?
“As expected, Master. I thought you were aware of our eavesdropping.”
What is the sign? I can tell from the fact that he gets very angry when he tries to talk to Ella alone.
“As expected, isn’t it bad for Prause!”
Urca’s head popped out of the ceiling. Why are you coming out of the ceiling?
“But what about the marriage story?”
Urca asked. Wait for a sec… Maybe it’s the start of the second round…… ?
“I can’t allow you to get married.”
This time, even Seri participated in the war. Se-Ri, who has approached me, casually sits next to me and timidly grabs her sleeve.
“Because I can’t… ….”
Even though he spoke in a muffled voice, he felt a strange firmness. Se-Ri purses her lips and gathers her eyebrows to her arms.
“Right, don’t talk nonsense about getting married to Prause!”
Urca snorts and crosses her arms. What about me……. Am i hurt?
In an instant, it becomes noisy again.
My head started pounding at the voices I heard around me.
I was planning to leave quietly when the battle for man and horse was over.
Damn it. I didn’t want a harem…….
* * *
“It’s been a while, Prause.”
Todia enters Glare’s office, guided by her butler. As soon as she enters, she gives me a cold look.
“I see.”
As Ella wished, I came to meet Glair Todia.
“You always run into big accidents whenever you don’t see them.”
She seemed so stung that she couldn’t say anything. But my muzzle was passive.
“It’s the emperor’s fault.”
“Right! That’s right!”
“Right. The emperor was wrong.”
“It’s the emperor’s fault.”
“…… Even if Prausu is like that, do you guys know that those words are going to be charged with insulting the imperial family?”
Glare glares at her students. However, the warriors expressed their thoughts, ignoring his gaze casually.
“I think it is too much to discriminate only against Master.”
“Right! That’s right!”
“Damn it. That master and that disciple.”
He dipped his pen into the inkwell and stood up. He sits on the sofa in the head of the office and points to the sofa with his chin. It meant sit down.
I sat down on the sofa as if I had waited. The warriors also sit. Ariel and Ella, who followed, also sat down. Seri and Urca tried to follow, but I stopped them.
I couldn’t let the tax collector wander freely because of the imperial family issues. Urca was attached because it was an escort for the tax collector.
Actually, it didn’t matter if I brought it. However, it was obvious that they would fight if they came together, so they separated.
“So what are you here for?”
“Did Ella hear she had something to say?”
“…… A lot to say. There are many, but the only conversation I have with you right now is swearing.”
“Hey! Your evaluation is low, Master!”
Because I know, Tina, you should keep quiet.
“So you have nothing to say?”
“Not particularly, but… ….”
He thought about it for a while and then got lucky.
“It is said that he completely destroyed the Black Gwangjo and the White Gwanggae.”
“Thanks to Sirius.”
“I heard that story. This is why you shouldn’t let a criminal bastard run wild.”
“That must be proof that the crown prince is incompetent. Even though the Emperor knew that Sirius was an S-Class, he didn’t join the White Gwangjo. Why do you think that would be?”
“I must have judged him to be someone I couldn’t handle. His Majesty.”
“That’s it. Just looking at that part, you can see that the emperor and the crown prince are different from what they think.”
Even though the emperor who committed the massacre of other races was a complete villain in this world, his skills could not be ignored. He didn’t keep the emperor’s seat until he died of old age.
“However, you are the only one who does not die even if you put a sword directly into the emperor’s neck.”
“Even the emperor knows. You want to kill me somehow, but the empire will perish without me.”
How many things come with just the fact that the hero is on my side in the first place.
I was able to bring three spirit kings right away.
It wasn’t enough that he had signed a contract with them who would not be outdone even when compared to the higher-ranking demons, and if he was a hero with the final weapon to fight the demon king, he was the strongest, at least in the human world.
With such people on my side, there’s no way they can kill me.
“…… So, did you know about it and use it?”
“I had no desire to take that approach. I did it out of anger.”
“You’re crazy.”
“Maybe.”
I smiled and nodded.
“What are your plans for the future? From what I’ve heard, it seems that they set the condition of freeing the slaves of other races and returning the territory. Isn’t there a risk that other races will attack the empire in reverse?”
“That will never happen.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because I am.”
After speaking confidently, I felt the atmosphere around me change once. Her excited snorts could be heard all around her, accompanied by gasping for breath.
I glanced around. They didn’t just say ‘el’ because they were warriors, but they were thrilled. To be honest, I was a bit ashamed.
“…… Huh, you are full of confidence.”
It’s not just confidence.
As long as I hold the Resistance, other races cannot move easily. If you don’t listen, it’s okay to make them listen.
I deliberately told the public not to announce it, only to the nobles. I also gave him some time to deal with the deadline within this year.
This was to induce the Resistance to owe me a debt. If I told the other races right away, I wouldn’t need help, so there was a possibility that they would push me away. It was to prevent that.
Even if this information leaks out, there is a high possibility that other races who have been persecuted so far will treat it as a rumor that they will soon be freed from slavery.
Because it’s not like you’ve felt the disappointment you tasted while looking forward to it once or twice.
“Did you write down another number in advance?”
“There is such a thing.”
As I watched the warriors, I repeatedly put my index finger on my lips and then removed it. They know I’ve been in contact with the Resistance, so they gave me a warning to stop talking nonsense. The warriors nodded.
Smart.
There was a knock on the door.
“Father, this is Venos. May I come in?”
“Come in.”
He was such a huge man that the huge door seemed small. It seemed even more so because he was wearing armor. Golden armor studded with phoenix patterns sparkles.
He had light blue hair like Elana Glair. He felt a strong blue aura, and his sharp eyes and stern face resembled Glare.
“What’s up, Venos?”
“I heard a report that Prause has invaded our Todia family, so I came because I wanted to see his face.”
Come in…… ?
It was a very confusing use of language.
“…… You are Prause.”
Since I was the only male in the party, I had no choice but to be identified right away.
The eyes of Venos looking at me are burning. He looks just like his father, really.
From noble mtl dot com
“I heard you all, Prause. The disrespect you have shown to my father, to His Majesty the Emperor! I challenge you to a duel!”
Ah… Suddenly it started burning alone.
“I think I brought shame to the Todia family last time, but I am different. Duel me!”
I looked at Glair. Didn’t I properly explain what was stolen before?
He shook his head. He responded that he couldn’t help it. It looks like I’m getting caught up in something troublesome.
It was then.
Suddenly, Tina jumped up from her seat.
“Before that, you have to beat me first, right?”
“…… You?”
“Master’s disciple, it’s Tina!”
Venos looks at Tina with keen eyes. After watching for a while, he snorted.
“Keep the kids out.”
“Don’t call me a child. What a lady!”
“Hmm. Isn’t she a bit young to be called a lady?”
“Master! In that case, call me a lady!”
Tina looked back at me and became teary-eyed.
“…… Did you tell the bastard to quit?”
Quick.
Tina’s eyebrows crinkled.
“Teacher, can I scold a big man like this far away?”
“What, is it far away?”
Looking at it, Tina really hates being treated like a child.
“… Take care of it.”
“Okay, Master gave permission…… You are behind.”
Tina said, striking her own palm with her fist. That she was behind You talk a little…….
