Episode 26. Emperor Coronation Ceremony (Complete)

“It’s not a water attribute. Did you call me to ask me something trivial like this?”
“It’s not even a fire attribute. More than that, give me a prause or something delicious. I haven’t been able to eat anything delicious lately because I’ve been working.”
“It’s not even an earth attribute. But will you stop calling me? Are you busy?!”
You guys are really long in one word?
Isn’t it too much to mistreat you like this even though you know that this is all for the sake of the world?
If I had real strength, I would have fed one honey chestnut to the spirit kings. It was really disappointing.
“Ariel, you said it wasn’t even a wind attribute, right?”
“Yes.”
That means Chris didn’t make a contract with the spirits.
There are many attributes of this world, but they are derived from the four major attributes of water, fire, wind, and earth.
As an easy example, if the contracted spirit had the light attribute, it was possible for the phoenix to perceive it because light is a derived attribute of fire.
But all four spirit kings answered no.
It was safe to interpret that as saying that he did not make a contract with the spirit.
If you remove the number of cases where you did not make a contract with the spirit, the remaining means that you made a deal with the demon or trained mana.
However, when dealing with demons, demonic energy must come out of that person’s body. This would not be the case given that the warriors clearly referred to it as mana.
So, did you train?
In the meantime? Why?
Did you think that as an emperor, you should develop your own power?
For that reason, it is somewhat uncomfortable to draw conclusions.
I don’t know what happened. The number of cases was very different. Are there any variables that I don’t know about?
“Master, what are you going to do?”
“For now, I will watch. After the parade, I will question you.”
I couldn’t shake off my anxiety as I watched the wagon getting further and further away. But right away I didn’t have enough information to give an answer.
“Naiad.”
“What is it?”
“Why aren’t you telling me the details of your conversation with the World Tree?”
I questioned Naiad for not telling me what I had been asking for several months.
“As I said last time, World Tree Tree ordered silence. I can’t tell you.”
“Then take me to the spirit realm.”
“I’ll say it again, I can’t take you unless you signed a contract with the King of Spirits.”
“Isn’t this because the spirit contract doesn’t work?”
Even though there was a mountain of information to be obtained from the World Tree, it was frustrating to not be able to go to the spirit realm in order to follow the rules.
“Rules are rules.”
“Will you come to your senses only if the spirit realm and world tree are in danger while trying to follow that rule?”
“As long as I am present, I cannot touch a single root hair of the World Tree.”
The world capital is really too much.
I’d rather give a proper tip to the spirit king.
If the world tree proves that I am the human they need, the spirit kings will be sufficiently favorable.
“Hu, let’s move on once this parade is over.”
Perhaps it will be late at night or early in the morning for today’s work to be over.

“Oh, wait a minute!”
I put my hand on the doorknob as soon as I saw the sign for the Magic Guild Master’s Lab.
Knock! Rattle!
The door is locked.
“Currently, the head of the Magic Guild is exhausted physically and mentally from long work. It’s not good to force yourself to come!”
The union member shouts and holds me back. I didn’t use my strength to dry it to see if the bitter taste of the last Meteor still lingers.
Of course, if I had used my strength, the warriors following me wouldn’t have stood still.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be back with just a few words. And I think the head of the union will be more nervous because of your voice.”
Amazed by my words, the Magic Guild members covered their mouths. I’m sorry for causing trouble to the union members, but I didn’t intend to go back empty-handed after coming this far.
“Tina.”
“Neeet!”
Cold.
Tina pulls her doorknob off and throws it away. The eyes of the union member who saw it go round. Tina Gives Her Handle To Her Union Member The member who received it in a daze belatedly screamed.
“hehehehe!”
“Shh. The head of the union must be tired.”
“… Everyone, you guys know that this is a crime of destroying property, right?”
I placed two gold coins in the hands of the co-op.
“…… ?”
“One will suffice for repairs. Take the other one for yourself.”
“Me, are you buying me?”
“If you don’t like it, give it back.”
As I tried to take it back, the union member hurriedly grabbed the gold coin in his hand.
“No, I don’t know what to look for…… What was given is given, and what is a nuisance is a nuisance.”
“Noisy. Since you took my money, I’ll go into the lab. Do not dry If you take my money and dry it, I’ll cut off your wrists.”
[Activates the skill 「Living」.]
The moment you give strength to your eyes, the faces of union members are engulfed in fear. The union member, who shuddered with a startled expression, hurriedly left me.
“Hey! I, what am I… Let’s find out who will repair it.”
“Yes. I want you to suffer.”
Tina waves her hand as she sees the union member getting further and further away. She lowered her hand, which had been shaking for a while, and looked at me and said.
“Teacher, the union members look a little pitiful.”
“What… It’s because I’ve been beaten by my master…….”
“You idiot! Since you were beaten by Master, this is the punishment you deserve.”
“But honestly, isn’t your teacher more like a bully?”
Ariel argued with me, pointing with her thumb at me standing still next to her. She replied as if Iris had been waiting.
“Usually, he seems like a villain to the point where he wonders if this is really okay…… He’s not really evil, is he?”
“Yes. Even though Master looks like this, he is kind to his own people.”
“Right. Be nice Master.”
What are you talking about over and over again, guys? I’m ashamed of everything.
Seeing that, Ariel smiled benignly and relieved her colic.
“Your master was properly covered with bean pods?”
“Ariel, shut up.”
“Looks like he’s been stabbed.”
After her sad talk, I pushed the broken door. Beyond the easily opened door, the laboratory of the head of the association spreads out.
It seemed as if all the research books in the world were here.
And the letters written on the papers placed next to the books were all written by the head of the Magic Guild, and the handwriting was consistent.
“Magic Guildmaster, I’d like you to take a moment.”
“What a noisy guy. What shame did you come to me for?”
“If I had been shameless, I wouldn’t have said you to the emperor from the beginning.”
“…… Right.”
At my words, Loggia, the head of the Magic Guild, nodded his head obediently. Hey, if I understand there, what am I going to be…… ?
“But do you go to another family’s house even though it’s nearing midnight?”
“Is this a family home? It’s the office of the guild leader in the magic guild facility. Oh, was it a lab? Anyway.”
I said boldly. Loggia burst out laughing.
“A man who never loses a single word. It’s really admirable how you can put a steel plate on your face and say that without raising an eyebrow.”
“You don’t have to make the compliment too long. I hear that a lot.”
I casually responded and walked up to where he was sitting.
“I see. You have magic spells in your ears. That’s why even if you get insulted, you’ll hear it as a compliment.”
It seems that the magic is not attached to the ears, but to the mouth?
“Is that something I didn’t know about? Thanks for diagnosing me.”
“I’m just saying you’re crazy.”
“This world is supposed to be worth living only when you are a little crazy. Being a madman means I’ve adjusted well.”
He said, tapping his work table.
“…… So. Why did you come? Did you come at midnight soon to have a sad talk like this?”
“I have a question for you. Prince… No, about Emperor Chris.”
“I don’t know what you’re asking, but I have nothing to answer about the Emperor.”
Look at you being strict again.
“I want to ask you one thing. As long as you answer this question, I will go back smoothly.”
“…… Something?”
I ask if he has the heart to answer the words that he will return quietly. I spoke straight away.
“Did you teach Emperor Chris how to train mana?”
“…… It is.”
A beat late reply.
It is a strange silence. It feels like you rolled your head to lie. I tried not to use skills as much as possible. I couldn’t help it.
“The Mantra.”
The vitality is dying in Loggia’s eyes, which were looking straight at me.
“The Magic Guild Leader, Loggia. Did you teach Emperor Chris how to train mana?”
“Yes.”
It was an answer without hesitation, and it clearly let me know that the mantra skill had been taken with a look that had lost its vitality.
Still, I felt uncomfortable for some reason. Is it because I didn’t get the answer I wanted?
No, that’s not it.
The problem was that the number of cases I was considering was all wrong.
Could it be that there was a background setting about the royal family that I don’t know about?
Now that this has happened, there is only one choice I can make. Prince Chris… No, I had no choice but to meet Emperor Chris in person.

While Prause was in the midst of interrogating the head of the magic guild, Chris entered his office.
“Whoa…… You are tired.”
Chris murmured after completing all of her schedules only after her midnight approached. After finishing his bath, he went straight to the bedroom and laid himself down.
“How was it? I feel like an emperor.”
Ragor asked, floating in the air.
“That was good. Now, without having to rely on Obama, I have all the power. Now I am the number one in the empire.”
Having received Lagor’s suggestion that flattering words are better than honorifics between contractors, the emperor had put his words to him.
“That’s a good thing. Congratulations.”
Lagor was lying on his back as if swimming in the air, and while wandering over him, he remembered the Prause he had seen during the day.
“Oh, that’s right. I think Prause already noticed that we signed a contract.”

“What?”
“Ah, I didn’t fully notice. I am suspicious.”
He laughed and said it lightly, but inside he felt nervous. He hadn’t thought that he’d notice right after signing the contract.
He saved mana in his own way, and restrained himself so that the demonic energy would not escape. Nevertheless, seeing what he noticed, he realized that Prause and his party were not an annoyance.
‘As expected, Prausu has knowledge that is ahead of the Demon King. Should I say that he seems to know the whole world? If this is true, it makes sense that he killed Pero. It means that I knew Pero’s attack pattern.’
“Oh, maybe?”
“Don’t worry. You just have to look around. There are many excuses. Like being trained by the master of magic. Did you eat a potion? Or that he read magic books himself and gained enlightenment. Are there many?”
“Do you think that will clear your doubts?”
“I won’t solve it. However, as long as her contract is signed, mana cannot be completely prevented from appearing on her face. So you have to show that you keep growing. Isn’t it enough justification to take power in earnest to reign over the emperor?”
‘If this doesn’t clear my doubts, the contract with this guy ends here. We have to change our plans.’
“Not like that.”
“Okay. Oh, by the way, Prause is more handsome than I thought. Ekabel-sama will like it.”
“…… Does Ekabel-sama like him?”
“My boss likes strong genes, but he also likes good looks. Did you say it would be a pity to do it with an ugly guy during mating? It was.”
“I see.”
After that, Lagor continued to chatter until he suddenly realized that the emperor was asleep. Lagor looked down at it and smiled.
“Sleep well. Emperor.”
