At Glendale's royal castle.
Tina. It's been a long time. "
"Long time no see. But you came to Mai and Mai's birthday party earlier this month, right?
Tina came alone to King Jill's office.
"It's been a month since that party! You should have more dinners. You can do anything every day. I provide the money and the food at my own expense."
"That's right...."
"Your Majesty, as I have said many times, be your escort."
Cain, Hart's brother, who brought Tina here, tried to kill Jill.
"You don't need an escort to get to the safest place in the world."
"But on the way ─ ─"
"That's no problem. Call Hart at Ko (...) and he'll pick me up."
That's how Jill shows Cain a palm-sized crystal. A communication magic tool that Hart gave to the kings of the kingdom he was close to. Not only can this magic tool communicate with Hart, but it can also communicate with royalties in other countries where he handed over the same magic tool.
It's about the size of a palm to connect countries, and there's no need for magic to operate it. It was one of the most powerful magical devices in the Legendary class.
By the way, the bracelet that Hart is giving everyone in the House of Ernol is even more powerful than this one.
"... but it's not too good for the King of the Nation to interfere too much with a particular people."
"I'm Hart's friend! Why can't I go visit my friend's house!?"
Cain was trying to get Jill to change his mind, but she realized that Jill, blind to Tina's cooking, had to go straight to the ball.
"My brother is also a wife. No matter how well His Majesty and Hart greet each other, some of his family will have trouble with His Majesty's visit."
"Yeah, is that so?
"Yeah. Well... ah, of course you can come and see me. In that case, if it's about twice a month"
Jill often visited the house of Ernol at a pace of about once every three days. There are many people of royal origin in the House of Ernol, so even if Jill comes, there are few who are cowards of it.
But even if it were a king's visit. Hart made sure Jill was there when he arrived, saying he should take care of him. Hart didn't really care about it, but some of his wives had bad feelings about being deprived of time with Hart.
"When, only twice a month? That's not true..."
"That's enough, Your Majesty."
"I'm sorry. Instead, if you ask me, I will bring the dishes I made here."
"A client? What do you mean a client?
"Halt will soon be a C-ranked adventurer. Although it is not yet confirmed, the clan is also planned to be established."
"Oh! I mean..."
"No way, Your Majesty. Are you going to ask Hurt's clan to do it as a country?
"That's good. Sometimes I order ingredients from my selfish Adventurers Guild, so I'm only going to do it a little more often in the future."
"For us, it's great to have a stable request from the country."
Jill is satisfied with the same food everyone in the El Noir family eats. There is no need for a luxurious platter for him.
Dietary delivery alone is not a big reward. However, clans have ratings that vary depending on where and how many requests they make. If it is a request from a country, even if it is a simple matter, there is a great deal to gain a clan.
I see. So when Hart takes the promotion exam, he has to be motivated. "
"Please don't go on your own. I'll follow you."
"Okay, okay. By the way, where does Hult intend to build a clan house? What would you like me to do with the land I own?
"Ah, um, Your Majesty....."
"Ah, I've got a good idea. All you have to do is build a clan base in this royal castle!
"No, this king."
"Don't worry about the base. We already have eyes on the good land. I have a favor to ask His Majesty about the relationship today, and as you can see, I do."
"That's good. I hope so."
Whatever Tina said, Jill was going to allow it. Because Hart thought that permission would allow him to set up a clan in the country and stabilize Tina's cooking.
"The country's biggest adventurer clan collapsed the other day... you know."
"Ah, that. That was pretty tough."
Everyone confessed their sins, including Series and the top of Notorius, who came to the Knights' Cavalry. Carefully carry evidence of your wrongdoing and guilt.
Of course, it's due to the brainwashing of candles and iodines.
The scandal of the country's largest clan caused the upper part of Glendale to be a little rough. However, as some of them were aware of what Notreaus was doing, the response was quick and quiet.
"By the way, that should not be known to the public yet."
"Sure. Tina, if you..."
"I didn't do anything."
One day, adventurers disappeared from Notreaus on the border, but there was no major disturbance. Not only the adventurers who were the parties, but also their families and clan associates were well brainwashed by the nine-tailed fox who became the god beast.
And punish the guilty.
Rest in peace with the victims.
The funds that Notreaus was collecting for breaking the law were used to help the victims. Insufficient spending by the series was covered by a donation made anonymously by a chamber of commerce.
"... well, it's over now. Let's not pry any further. So, what's your real wish?
"The land on which the Clan House in Notreaus stood. I want you to sell it."
All the top clan members were captured by the state, so ownership of the land belonged to the state.
A prime location in King's Land. If you buy it normally, it will be enough for an A-Rank Adventurer to buy one-hundredth of the area over the course of their lifetime.
If Tina had the financial power of the H&T Chamber of Commerce, she would not be able to buy it. But...
"That's good. Yeah, how about enough of Tina's cooking?
The King of this country offered ten meals in exchange for land that a hundred A-rank adventurers could manage to buy over their lifetime.
