Chapter 278: Jelly-like

"No～"

"Don't say that, how about Hameln's sweets? Udon's sweets are good, but did you know that Hameln attracts all kinds of people and things from all over the Raem continent? It is said that there is nothing that can not be got――. Mumuu. Then, what about those children? Pixies? If you give this Victor a turn, I'll give you whatever you want"

"I want to see the inside of the sea!"

"That's right. Old man, it's my turn"

"Amazing, there's a big fish"

"A persistent human being!"

"I will never give my turn!"

Victor, who hasn't given up on the submarine yet, seduces Namari and the children with his own hands, but the children stubbornly refuse the proposal from Victor.

"Noisy guys――"

So Yuu cuts the words. Looking back at the glance he felt from behind, Marifa was looking at Yuu with expecting eyes, like a dog waiting for an order.

"Ah, I´m not angry"

Wherever the usual icy coldness goes, Marifa gives off a sloppy atmosphere. It's as if Yuu is unkind to Marifa.

"It would be nice here"

Yuu creates a gate with space-time magic in a corner of the harbor square. In front of the space-time magic that they see for the first time, some merchants ask their escorts and servants who can use magic if they can learn it. Mago glanced at them and muttered inwardly, 「Are you fools who cannot understand unless you´re ruined?」.

"No one's coming out"

If no one appears from the other side of the gate even after waiting for a while, when one of the merchants mutters, a large number of soldiers armed with swords and armor jump out from the gate. It made everyone think that the undisturbed movement to keep an eye on the surroundings quickly and to ensure safety without waste was due to rigorous training. Yuu, the residents of Nameless kingdom around him and the sly old dog merchants were not scared to this extent――

"Neechan, I'm scared~"

"Nii-chan!"

"Biee~h, King~"

The appearance of the murderous soldiers is more than enough to scare young children. In a hurry, the young children hid behind their brothers and sisters and cried.

"Gururuu!"

"What are you guys!!"

"If you do something to my sister, I'll bite!!"

Children, including Inpika, bark at the soldiers.

"Th, That......"

Among the children, Stark comes out in front. The soldiers spoken to by the children of the human race seemed to be upset by the unexpected events.

"We're all good people here. So don't do terrible things to everyone. I'd like to ask you!

At the begging of a small child, the soldiers' eyes gather to ask the soldier, who is probably the captain, from Stark.

"Stark, what are you doing! Stay behind me because it's dangerous!"

Hende hurriedly pulls Stark's hand and brings him back. Many of the children here have their parents killed by knights of the human race. The horror remained as a big scar that never disappeared.

"Step back"

At that time, a female voice was heard from behind the soldiers.

"B, But"

"I ordered you to step back. What are you guys doing? Is this what the Imperial Guards are, which the Morbel Kingdom is proud of! Scaring such cute children, but are you still knights of the Morbel Kingdom! Come on, get in front of me"

The formation of the soldiers splits from the center with a reluctant feeling. From there, a woman dressed in maid clothes with silver-rimmed glasses appeared.

"Ah, Adeline-neechan"

"Namari-chan you know her?"

"Yeah. She is Odono-sama's friend"

(She is not my friend)

Yuu, in his heart, makes a tsukkomi at Namari.

"Eh!? King?"

"What will you do?"

"But she is your friend, right?"

"Terrible"

The children start to talk in a circle, but before long, if the answer comes out, they line up in front of Adrine.

"""I'm sorry for what happened"""

They bow down all at once and apologize. Inpika leans too far forward, loses her balance and rolls forward. A vulgar voice leaks from Adeline's mouth to the adorable appearance of the children.

"How cute!"

"Sister, sister is a friend?"

"Yeah, yeah! I'm a friend!"

"Sister, you smell good"

"You guys are also smooth, fluffy and smell good. Ah......I'm glad you ask a big favor to come"

Adeline is pleased to hold the children in both hands. As the chief maid of the Morbel Kingdom, wherever she was feared by the knights, she exposed a sloppy face.

"We're taking a bath every day"

"Well, is that so?"

"Mom says that if you don't go take a bath, the king will hate you"

"That's scary, guhuhuu"

No one can feel a lady from her appearance as she is drooling from her mouth.

"Eeii!! Open the front!!"

"Your Majesty in such a poor place――"

"Your Majesty, please wait! Until we ensure your safety――"

"Far from the castle. No matter how you look at it, it's a port, a place that welcomes royalty――"

"Shut up!! Look! Where is the danger!!"

Daddan, Morbel kingdom´s king, appears while blowing off the imperial guards that stop him.

"It's just His Majesty Daddan of the Morbel Kingdom"

They heard that he came from Yuu, but the merchants whispered that they were half-believed that the king of one country would appear in the deal with the merchants.

"Waa! Orc"

"Rude! Calling His Majesty an orc! Forgiveness――fugaa!?"

Daddan forcibly closes the imperial guard's mouth when he tries to yell at a child.

"Umm. If they call you an orc, why don't you be willing to play the orc?"

Daddan was so obese that it would not be strange for children to mistake him for an orc.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"You don't have to understand? Don't get close to that......"

It can be said that Adeline, who calls Daddan and has served the whole family for many years, is also doing something crazy.

"Uncle orc, can I touch your stomach?"

"I also want to touch"

"Inpika´s stroking is unique!"

"Huu....... Well, if you want to touch my belly so much, you can do as much as you like. My love is infinite!"

"Its jelly-like"

"It's better than Beibu"

"It's true"

"Ahuu, umum! Good! Yes, more! I, I´m already patient――ouch!?"

Yuu, who couldn't stand it, hits Daddan's head.

"Muu!? What are you doing!"

"That would be my line. What did you come here for?"

"Fuhahaa! It's a stupid question! Don't you understand when you see these adorable children? Satou, you're still a child even if you became a king. Good! Pour my infinite love into Satou――ouch ouch!? Don't squeeze my cheeks"

Even if Yuu squeezes his cheeks with full strength, it will hurt a little, so it can be said that Daddan's body is abnormal. Even the guards, who would otherwise protect the king, were so embarrassed that they turned away from Daddan. Aside from Daddan, Adeline casually wiped the hands of the children who were rubbing Daddan's belly with a handkerchief.

"I suppose I had set up a bargaining ground for the Morbel Kingdom until I took the trouble. That's enough, you fa――chubby king"

"Wait! It's a terrible name even if you rephrase it!"

"You're fat enough"

"Satou-sama――no, Nameless´s King. My Lord, fat――, please forgive His Majesty Daddan's disrespect"

"Oooii! You're completely talking about me right now, right?"

The guards ignored Daddan´s protesting voice. Adeline, the chief maid and hero, is a hundred times more scary than Daddan.

"I'm sorry for this. I didn't even say hello to King Nameless"

Ignoring Daddan, who shouts, 「Isn't there an apology for me!?」, Adeline greets Yuu with children on both sides.

"Adeline-san......"

"Yes"

"Would you like to release the kids together?"

Adeline's beautiful face is pessimistically distorted, even though it is said to be such a killing.

"No, what did you come to do?"

After that, negotiations between the Morbel Kingdom and the merchants finally begin. Daddan and Adeline are happy to be surrounded by children and their bargaining power is genuine, regardless of their appearance. In fact, the merchants have been involved in Daddan and Adeline for some time.

"Satou, this is not the end of today´s negotiations"

Daddan smiles at the children poking his cheeks and implicitly tells Yuu that they will stay in the Nameless Kingdom.

"Then you can go home now. It's enough to have Adeline here"

"Whatt!? What a terrifying thing to say!! Leaving the children to someone like that! Ah......it's terrifying just to think about it!!"

"It doesn't matter if the kids are here in the first place. And I just had you come today to show your face and you don't have to come next time"

"Ugigii....... I think that such a action is allowed"

"Why do I have to forgive you. Make jokes only on that face"

Daddan glares at Adeline, who spouts 「Pupupu」.

"Please show me around the Nameless kingdom!"

"Who will guide you? Let go of the kids"

When the children happily poke Daddan's belly, Daddan shakes his head with a crying face saying 「Noo」.

"Satou can't believe me!"

"You......you can often say that you should believe in yourself with that figure"

Marifa laughs unintentionally. Perhaps the guards around are also laughing and their bodies are quivering.

"King, can I have a moment?"

"Narmo, what's wrong?"

"No, a little here......"

Narmo glances around and whispers in Yuu's ear.

"I understand. Marifa, I'll leave it to you here"

"Mari-neechan, I leave it to you"

As a matter of course, Marifa's body, who was trying to follow Yuu, hardens. And she looked at Namari's back who followed Yuu with a grudge.

"You"

"This old man wants to see the king. I heard that he was promised by the King"

A dwarf was waiting in front of Yuu, who was guided by Narmo to the deck of the ship. He hides his face with a robe, but with the typical dwarven barrel shape and Yuu's 『Devil Eye of the Spirit World』 he can't hide his true identity.

"King Nameless, I'm sorry for this suspicious style. If I don't do this, the merchants will notice me and make noise again"

"Gonbugur Cecht, why are you here?"

After taking off his robe, Gonbugur grabs his beard and pulls it toward Yuu, just like last time.

"Greetings are good"

"Hmm. I think King Nameless said anything. I'd like to throw it all away"

"No way, you......"

"Hmm, I've thrown it away. The fame of one of the three great craftsmen, the status of the blacksmith guild, my family, my friends, the blacksmithing tools I've been using for many years and the materials and minerals I've bought and collected. I don't mind meeting King Nameless as it is, so I'll bring the minimum amount of silver and clothes"

Yuu didn't really say that. Who really thinks they'll throw everything away and come to Nameless?

"We have such a promise――"

Yes, Yuu hasn't made such a promise. He just asked if he would throw it away. But――

"Odono-sama cant lie!"

Momo, who jumped out of Yuu's flying cap towards Namari, looked up at Yuu's face with no doubt.

----------------------------------------

"That's good"

Yuu brought Gonbugur to Woods and the blacksmith workshop of the fallen demon tribe.

"Uncle, what do you like?"

Woods keeps smiling when he is blamed. Speaking of the essential Gonbugur――

"Nuoo!? Are you using miraculous water luxuriously for tempering!! Uoo!! This is a furnace that was just introduced in my workshop! Oh, this is adamantite, orichalcum hammer. This is a Mithril hammer, nuhaa! I wanted this as well――"

"Who is this old man! Don't touch the tools without permission!! King, can you do something about it!!"

Mauno, the chief of the fallen demons, was chasing after Gonbugur walking around the workshop.

"Uncle, maybe"

"I don't want to give up?"

"Then why?"

"Speaking of Gonbugur, he is involved in blacksmithing and has the skill that no one knows. Do you know the story of the three great craftsmen?"

Woods smiles bitterly at Yuu, who looks a little sullen.

"That Gonbugur knows everything from the secrets of the Dwarves, the ancient blacksmithing techniques, to the techniques that are about to be lost. Then I have decided what to do"

Woods grins and smiles at Yuu.

"I'll steal Gonbugur's technology from one end! So Yuu, I'll make you the best and strongest ancient dragon armor!!"

Woods laughed out loud, 「Gahahaa!」when he said that.

"Strongest?"

"Yes, the strongest!!"

Woods stroked Namari's head, who sparkled her eyes with the word strongest.
