～A Record of My Journey

128 years in the life of the Holy King, the first day of the Yellow Moon.

After defeating Megidor, we finished our report at Frost Castle, and as we passed by the castle gates to return to the city again, we encountered a handsome man with white, tall, and blonde hair.

The bastard with such a sense of perfection opened his mouth as he stared at me in frustration.

"You are the 'continental hero Kanemitsu', aren't you?"

This man's name is Uranus, the man who is known as the 'White Brave' in this country.

The White Warrior walked up to him and said to Kanemitsu, "Thank you for protecting the people of the city and defeating the assassins of the Demon King.

I am grateful to you for defending the people of the city and defeating the Demon King's assassins. But our country also has a defense force and an adventurer's guild of terrific strongmen, and they too have enough forces to fight!　I know that the hero of the continent is proud of his skills, but I wonder if it was necessary to sacrifice the life of the guardian fairy Harl for you!

Somehow, this guy seems to know how Kanemitsu got the Ice Sword.

He deliberately emphasized only 'continental hero-sama' strangely, as if to deny that he had defeated Megidor, which made me cringe, but Kanemitsu, the heroic Kanemitsu, stood in front of the white hero with a look that said, "Good grief.

''You have a good point, but I think it's unmistakably trivial or rash for a brave man to desecrate her (Harl) who gave her life for justice.

Uranus is furious with Kanemitsu for calling him a confused person, although the way he says it is mild, but Uranus is furious with Kanemitsu for calling him a confused person.

The situation was tense in the vicinity, but when Uranus saw his fellow girl sadly pulling her sleeve, he walked into the castle with his tongue in his mouth.

The day ended with us silently hunting monsters to earn the boat fare for the return trip.

When I asked if there was a cheaper boat, he replied, "We can't allow a brave man to pass away in a maritime accident, so we have no choice but to take a large passenger ship like the nobles. If it's a merchant ship or a small ship, we can get there about a week earlier, but...'' was an unusually passive answer for Kanemitsu.

I mean, if I can travel that fast, I just want me to take a different ship on the way back.

[The Holy King's 128 years of service, Yellow Moon, 3rd.

An urgent call came out of the castle suddenly.

It seems that not only us, but also mercenaries, adventurers and even the white brave Uranus, the braggart of arms are gathered in the great hall.

While everyone was wondering why they were gathering all the strong men, the story told by the king's mouth was, "I want you to reestablish the wards that were destroyed by the Four Heavenly Kings Megidor.

It seems that the entire area of the Frost Kingdom's capital is protected by a magical field that is released from a magical device on the top floor of a huge building called the Tower of the Gods, which is located southwest of the castle, but if the field is destroyed, the magic power must be supplied to the tower in order to redevelop the field.

Furthermore, I heard that there are extremely strong monsters wandering around inside the tower and it is extremely dangerous, so going up to the top floor would be a life-threatening experience.

I inadvertently muttered to myself, "Why don't we just leave guards there all the time and get rid of the monsters?" and the king heard me say, "The last time the wards were broken was about twenty years ago. For a long period of time, we can't use the huge amount of tax money and personnel for security", it's kind of unexplainable, but if the big man says so, it can't be helped.

However, we were astonished by the king's declaration that he would not be able to use taxpayers' money for security for a long period of time.

The first person to reach the top floor will be allowed to marry the princess.

In other words, the powerful people who had gathered here were in an uproar because they were going to be given the next king's seat.

As soon as the talk ended, most of the people ran out of the hall in a hurry.

By the way, when I asked Kanemitsu about it, he said, "No, I don't really want to be the king of this country," and he was absolutely right.　

[The 128th year of the Holy King's career, the 4th day of the Yellow Moon]

Early in the morning, we headed to the Tower of the Gods, and we arrived in less than half a day.

We didn't encounter any monsters on the way to the tower, and apparently we were hunted down from one side to the other by the guys who left yesterday.

If this was the case, hadn't the rest of the party already climbed to the top level...?　But when we came to the tower of the gods, we saw a number of simple snow cushions lined up in front of the tower.

When we came to the entrance of the tower with our heads tilted back, we saw mercenaries hitting the frozen door with their bodies and slashing.

They said that they had arrived at our house yesterday, but they were having trouble getting through the entrance door.

''You guys need to get out of the way.

As Sharon pushed past the big men to the door, she let out a sigh of relief when she saw the pattern on the door.

Then she shouted as she put her magic into her wand.

'Melt!'

When the magic power was released from the staff, the frozen door burst into bright red flames and burned down.

Apparently, the door itself was just a baked plate with a freezing ward attached to it.

According to Sharon, "It's a facility to set up a warding, but there's no way it wouldn't be set up in that building", and she's absolutely right.

Once inside the tower, just as the king had said, tough monsters attacked at a frightening frequency.

Moreover, since all of the monsters that appeared were fire-attribute, Sharon and I didn't have a chance to appear, and the only thing we had to rely on was our ice swords, the load was concentrated on Kanemitsu alone, and we stopped our search in the middle of the third level.

Although we got a lot of materials and experience, seeing Kanemitsu's frustrated expression as he turned back the way we came, we were unable to say anything.

''128 years of the Holy King's career, the 5th of the Yellow Moon.

The next day, as we were about to climb up to the Tower of the Gods again, that's when it happened.

Iridescent light spread out from the top floor of the tower in a glittering rainbow of colors and descended to the snowy land.

Then an icy staircase appeared around the tower, and two adventurers walked down it.

They were Uranus, the White Brave, and his fellow girl.

''You've got an ice-sword on you.

Kanemitsu was at a loss for words for a moment at Uranus' words, but when he gave his usual stinky fake smile...

I won't lose next time.

I just muttered.

[128 years of St. King's history, Yellow Moon, 5th of the same evening]

When I returned to the Frost Kingdom, the story of Uranus' successful ascent had already been passed on, and a parade was being held throughout the city.

In no way, I can't help but feel that it was a race to get the White Brave and the Princess married from the beginning, but what has passed can't be helped.

You can see the white brave Uranus and the princess lined up beyond the crowd, but there's no point in going all the way through it to see their faces.

We went back to the inn without seeing the unveiling ceremony.

[The 128th year of the Holy King's reign, the sixth day of the Yellow Moon]

We left the Kingdom of Frost on the early morning passenger boat.

By the way, I'm writing this just before leaving the inn.

Maybe I'll have to fight seasickness in hell again, so it may be a long time before I write the next one.

Oh, no, no.

Let's hope the next time I get on the ship is with the clergy.

[St. King's career 128 years, yellow moon, 18th of the month]

I don't want to be on a boat for a while.
