236 9-16 Sand Country Roukaku Tragedy of the Supper

The dinner was held in the large hall with the military who were in the defeat of the earth dragon also participating.

The soldiers who were on guard duty a while ago seemed to be on a detention team, so they were not in any danger, but instead were on guard duty this time as well, with ministers and aristocrats in attendance.

It is said to be a dinner party, and since Master Koren is there, I was expecting something solemn, but it's a big crowd.

One of the reasons was that Master Koren said it was rude, but there were two other reasons as well.

'Haggling haggling. Gugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu. Muggy muggy muggy muggy.''

Oh, I'll still eat you, boy.

Is that... hmm... Is that it?

All of them are very good. It's one of my specialties.

Hmm. I'll take it.

Good eating. It's refreshing to watch.

All the higher-ups were so amused by White's unbelievable appetite that they took it upon themselves to get him some food without asking the attendants to stop them.

White sat at the table without moving and was treated like a princess.

Hmmm. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more than you think. It's good to see her eat a lot.

I'm too busy working to see my lovely grandchildren these days, you know.

Oh. It's soothing. My daughter's birth day is coming up soon.... I hope she'll grow up to be as strong as she is.

It seems that the aristocrats are gazing into the distance and thinking about their nostalgic hometown.

Perhaps they were busy with the Jiryuu commotion.

''Moreover, I heard this kid is strong enough to defeat the earth dragon!

'My God!　Is the secret to strength still eating?　Gentlemen of the army?　I'll have to try harder.

Hahaha. But a soldier, who no longer has the energy to bring his food to his mouth, though he has a fork, gives me a look as if to say, "It's easy enough to say that.

That soldier must have eaten quite a bit, but he seems to be on the verge of giving up.

The soldiers who have eaten too much food and are resting on their stomachs can be seen near the wall a little far from the table.

They were all defeated soldiers who had challenged White lightly and were defeated.

'How is it with a child who is not only lovely, but strong and still growing...?　Why don't you join my private army?　I promise to treat you well.

''My God, in that case, I'd love to have you as my private army. It will boost your pay, and our territory is famous for its delicious food. I can guarantee you a full meal.

Hm. White is the Lord's. White serves no one but the Lord.

"Mm.........I like the fact that you are so righteous....... It's good to be righteous........... Then, when you come to Lokak again, please come to my neighborhood. I will prepare a feast for you and everyone else.

I made eye contact with the big guy who glanced at me, and when I gave him a bitter smile, he gave me a somewhat apologetic, albeit slightly expectant look over there as well.

''Hmm. I'll tell the Lord.

And somehow I made a fan of the big guy, then me!　And one after another, idle White's hands are raised.

I wonder how many territories we'll have to go around next time we come to Lokak....

After that, people continued to call out to him, bringing him one meal after another and eating him up, and he was very popular.

And that's another reason.........

''Yes, this is my favorite heat viper (garam snake) as well. Of course, we have removed the venom. It's very tasty and spicy on the tongue.

Oh. Thank you, Master Coren.

Don't be so undignified, sir. Just call me Co-Ren.

Can you call me.........

I mean, it's so much different from the first time we met that I'm hiccupping at the gap between the two.

Boom!　I mean, it's a hiccup.

I sense a kind of fear.

"Then I'll feed you. Yes, ahhhhhh...

No, I can't let my queen do that.

You know what? I don't mind being Coren. It's what I want to do, never mind.

No, it's impossible not to care.

Since a while ago, a lot of bigwigs have been running underneath Mr. Kuduro in amazement when they see this scene and turn to look at us.

I'm tired of hearing them all say the same thing, word for word, but....

"Kuduro-dono, what did you mean by that?

'Huh?　What do you mean?

Master Coren is so close to the man, isn't he?

Yes.

'Why are you calm!　You could have introduced me to any man you wanted, and you would have kicked him out without a second glance, Master Coren!　What country is that man a nobleman of!　

No. He was a commoner, I believe.

'How..... Why don't you stop the common people from playing nice with our king!　That's your job!

Hmm...... As you just said to yourself, Coren-sama, who has rejected all men, is finally, miraculously, favoring you for the first time.　What about the commoners now, and the possibility of the birth of an heir that was thought to be hopeless?　Why do you say you need to stop when you don't even know if there will be a next one?

''That's...hmmm. That's true too.

'Yes. Good luck with that, Lord.

Hmm. Good luck....

Don't do your best.

Don't wish on anyone else... oh no, I can't tell you that.

I can't say that. I'm basically a recluse.

"What's the matter with you?

No.........soldiers and nobles and everyone else is not just staring at you, they're staring at you.......

It's all very well. I'm not asking you to take responsibility, but it's something that will come across to you as a father when you have a child. Anyway, yes, umm....

Aristocrats and ministers, oh?　And I'm cheering them on with my eyes wide open, amazed and holding both fists in anticipation.

If a person brings it to your mouth in such a situation, you can't just say no to him, saying, "Oh, no....

A young woman is a king!　And it's not even the standard power struggle insinuation.

They trust in Master Coren as a good king, and I will be the next!　There's not a single person who says, "I'm sorry.

I'm so surprised.

And yet they were seriously worried about the successor.

Under such circumstances, how could I say no?

Look at those excited eyes.

I'd be afraid to say no, wouldn't I?

So when I had no choice but to eat it, not because I was distracted by the crossed legs stretching out from the short skirt of Koren-sama's costume change, or regardless of the fact that it's a good thigh in a different way from Renge, it's delicious when I had no choice but to snack on it.......

It's certainly spicy, but it's hard to tell if it's poison or spices, and it's very tantalizing.

That's why I end up eating it when it's offered to me as another bite.

However.....

Why is Koren doing that to your husband?　It's my turn today.

Renge-san is gunning for her sister, Koren-sama, with a blue streak on her from the other side of the seat across from me, right?

What is this boardroom........

''I'm sorry, sister. But your stay is short, and you have to get to know me better, don't you? All of this ... for the sake of your child with your sister!

Before I know it, he's convinced that if he has a child with me, he's going to have a child with Renge.

You know. His eyes are so serious.

Fanaticism is a frightening thing.

"Ah, that JoOusama?　Such things are 'slaves' of the master! But we will....

'You needn't worry about it, sir. My declaration tells you that soldiers, nobles and slaves are to enjoy themselves here with no disrespect. I see that there are many lords who wish to speak to you all, and you may each enjoy yourselves.

I'm not interested. I'm all about master.

"We are 'slaves of the Lord' so we can't listen to even the orders of the Provisional Queen. Well, we won't leave even if the Lord tells us to leave.

"I am my lord's knight. I'm not likely to leave even by a temporary order.

And I'm glad to hear your immediate assurances.

I mean, please stay........

A lot of men dropped their heads when they heard what you just said, but I'm sorry, give it up.

''I see. Nevertheless, it is an act of gratitude and reward to this person who is also a benefactor to our army. I have been taught to show my gratitude to my benefactor, so don't worry about it.

That's strong........

I only supplied them because I judged that the recovery potions seemed to be insufficient.

There were more wounded than expected, and it seems that medicinal herbs are difficult to collect in this desert, so there weren't enough recovery potions and elixirs to go around.

This.........as long as we can create a sales channel for these potions, I have a feeling we'll be able to make a steady profit.

When I return, I'll discuss the supply and balance from Ainshail with Mizella and Rainrich.

''I knew there would be a dispute with your husband, but I didn't expect this to happen...''

'Mr. Renge. Mr. Renge, you have one aang right now.

'Oh no!　You can't!　I haven't been able to do one myself yet!

What do you mean by "anointing rights"....

I mean, Renge, wait a minute!　That's still a lot of steam, so don't scoop it up!

At least hoo-hoo!

'Master!　Ahhhh!

'Oh my God!　It's hot!

There was no hoo-hoo!

I mean, it was an express delivery!

Your tongue burns, or maybe it's the remnants of a fever-poisonous snake, and it tingles!

Oh, my God, are you okay?　Potions.....

Well, thanks...　Hey, why did you drink it yourself?

Hui..............................

No, wait, wait, wait.

You can't do that!

What's the point of mouth-to-mouth in the first place!

That's the kind of rescue action I do for people who don't have the energy or strength to drink.

I can drink myself, fast, close!

Come on, Mr. Kuduro, no, Kuduro, you've got to stop this shit!

What in the world kind of education would lead to such an extreme upbringing!

How many aristocrats are laughing their bellies off at the startled faces of the nobles!

There it is.

Stop laughing at me.

'I'm not doing that either!　Absolutely not!

Oh, nice one, Renge!

He did a good job of getting in between me and Master Coren and preventing me from doing so!

In the meantime, I'll drink the recovery potion myself.

''I'm going to take the recovery potion...''

Huh?　Mmmmmm!

Hmm?　I couldn't see it from me, but firmly, Renge's voiceless screams echoed through the great hall.

As I tried to confirm what the hell was going on, Wendy's hand blocked my view.

''Well in Renge-san's honor, please pretend you didn't see it.

...I see.

Renge I'll never forget you.

I hear a puffy voice and my hand is released.

When I look, I see Koren-sama licking his lips and Renge dripping a light green liquid from his mouth.

Renge turned to pure white ashes and plopped down on the desk like a threadbare doll, and Aina, Sorte and Wendy popped their hands on his shoulders and head to pat him on the back.

'Well..... You took a stand and defended your master with your own body. 'That was brilliant, Renge.'

Uhhhh.........

You see, we are both girls and I wonder if being blood sisters would be too much trouble.... But I was able to protect my Lord.....amazing!　Quite a renge!

''That was very noble of you.

'Higg ... today ... I need you to hug me and let me sleep ...'

Yeah. I'll hold you tight...

Renge seems to have managed to barely endure it, but as for the queen in question.......

''Hah, it's nectar........ Your sister's jealousy was also wonderful........ When you are with this person, you can meet new charms of your sister, and everything becomes easier because you have an opening for her........ If that's the case, the next step is finally................

What a horrible thing for the queen to laugh suspiciously after smiling ecstatically.......

Hahaha............

I can't help but wonder what she's going to do next........
