Chapter 535.1

Opening Ceremony

“――Yosh. I have done what I can do.”

I was practicing with the Royal Guards who would participate in the competition at the Rogard Empire training ground.

There were two events in the festival, and the members of the First Order of Royal Guards of the Rogard Empire were going to participate in the Magic Festival, also known as the “Battle Festa”.

All of them were wearing special protective gear that was manufactured just in time for the event, and although they were dripping with sweat and exhausted, they had good expressions of satisfaction on their faces.

It was their first competition, so they may still have some things to work on, but... they practiced hard and did an impressive job, even though they didn’t have a lot of time on their hands and were busy working with various other things.

“Yes...for now, I guess you could say we’re finished. I think we did what we could do.” (Helger)

Helger Landros, Deputy Commander of the First Order of Royal Guards, who had worked with me on various tasks, and with whom communication had become easier, also nodded his head in satisfaction, wiping away his sweat.

“In such a short period of time, they have become elite, as expected. That’s quite a feat. Everyone must be tired after working all day.” (Yuki)

“Hahaha, His Majesty also worked as hard as we did, and you are still fine. We can’t really complain too much in comparison.” (Helger)

“I don’t think I could be compared to anyone else, you know. I can keep moving for three days straight without sleep if I want to.” (Yuki)Neew updates at novel/bin(.)com

I have seen them enjoying themselves quite a bit, but this was probably also a result of Layla and Nell handling the situation in a very professional manner.

They have the status of being the Emperor’s wives, but they were both very amiable and used to dealing with this kind of situation.

In comparison, Lefi and Lyuu... well, Lefi could do this surprisingly well, but Lyuu would probably be too nervous and make some mistakes.

No, she was actually a young lady, right? I wonder how she’ll do.

“Both of them are the wives of His Majesty, aren’t they? And the human lady over there is a hero of the great Allysia Kingdom... oh my, I smell romance!” (Helger)

“Well, it’s true that a lot has happened. ...Oh, did I ever tell you about my home base? My home is in a place called Demon Forest near the Allysia Kingdom, and for that reason, I have a certain amount of contact with that country.” (Yuki)

“Oh, I see, that’s why... no, wait a minute. The Demon Forest? That unexplored land where the primordial wilderness allegedly remains?” (Helger)

“Yep, that place. My family lives there.” (Yuki)

It had been some time since I’ve had this kind of reaction.

It was a little too late, but I wonder how my identity was conveyed in this country.
