The Athals have promises, so they decide to entrust Natalia, who is still depressed, to Brown and Telm to head to the castle.
Speaking to the guards at the castle gate, as we talked about yesterday, the two of them can enter the castle by facepath.
"I've been listening, but I'm surprised you could make it this far."
Atal was surprised that he was led to the waiting room without any checks.
"So. I didn't even check my bags."
Caro, who nodded while moving his ears, also seemed surprised, but was sitting on the couch eating the prepared fruit with Balkias in a familiar manner, as it was a room that had been guided before.
"Yummy! These fruits are delicious! Let's eat, too, Mr. Atal!
Atal, invited by the innocent Balkias, smiles bitterly, lowers his hips on the couch and takes the fruit.
"... it sure tastes good. That's just the royal castle, and I like the quality of what's available."
The dessert served at the inn was also first-class, but this one was no less than good.
After three people have been tasting the fruit for a while, the door to the room is knocked.
"Dear Ataru, Caro, Balkias, I will show you that you are ready to see"
When I opened the door, the guide's knight was waiting. He's a man with an atmosphere like he's working faceless and pale.
"Oh, nice to meet you."
The knight who guided the journey between the sights did not open a single incision, but was quiet.
"Please, come on in"
When the door entered between the wide open sights, there were kings and dranes, and a few knights, but less than yesterday.
"Um, the Atals. Nice to meet you."
The king, who confirmed the faces of the Athals, never stood up, but opened his hands wide and welcomed them with a smile. The knights, who knew the strength of the Ataru, seemed equally welcome.
- Except for one.
"Quick, can you check what Dranes has prepared?
Dranez, who looked grumpy at the word of the king, stepped forward and turned to the Atars as he reluctantly said.
What he had in his hand was a single box.
"... open it for me"
Dranes, who just told me to hurry up, prompts me, and the atar opens the lid of the box. Because I decided that Dranez was not stupid enough to raise evil in this audience.
"Is this...?
There were three cups of what was in the box, which, when I took it, had no weirdness whatsoever. I don't know what it is. When Ataru takes one out and asks the question with a slight tilt in his neck, Doranez, who hummed his nose all the time, answers on the top of the Buddha.
"This is a magic prop. If I can hold this and magic it, if it's something I've ever drank, anything I like comes out boiling"
Atar, who hears that, puts a glass back in the box, arms up and thinks in.
"Hmm, how's Caro?
"Convenient, then."
It was certainly a convenient one. I'm on a journey and securing drinks is important.
But it wasn't so appealing to the Ataru, who had previously been given magic props to produce clean water simply by putting a small amount of magic in Flaria as a reward for a massive request for a golem crusade.
"But if it's water, I've got some magic props I got before, and more importantly, I can magically get them out."
"Yes, I always have plenty of drinks."
I didn't say anything clear, but I was in agreement.
"In change"
"Something else."
"Gaw."
Atal and Caro spoke differently, but smiled and replied with the same content. Balkias also barked in dissatisfaction.
"Hey, what the hell! This was purchased on purpose by going to the Demon Prop Store! How much the hell do you think you're gonna cost me!
Dranes yells at them with anger over whether blood has gone up in his head against the reaction of the two of them.
"And even if they say it, it's not something that satisfies us... I don't know, it's kind of convenient. I'd appreciate it if you prepared something that's very convenient."
In an open-minded manner Atal pressed Dranes to return a box with a glass. I am not interested in the cup already and communicate my request for:
"... Gu, what a waste of weapons and protective equipment! You can have as many weapons as you want!
Dranes was hungry that he had been narrowed down by many conditions yesterday. I guess it's just intolerable that even Pride has to give something to the satisfaction of that opponent after he's been hurt so little.
"- Are you going to say that now? If you have a complaint, you can say it within yesterday... Well, it doesn't matter if you say so much. If we can have a weapon stronger than the sword we have, something stronger than the armor we're wearing, that's fine."
A smile appeared on Dranes' face as a flattered, shoulder-flattered atar eased the conditions.
"Ha ha, my house possesses a lot of weapons. I'll surprise you with a bunch of weapons stronger than what you have!
You forget that it was punishment due to yesterday's defeat, Dranes' attitude came from above. The other knights watched with cold eyes as they stretched their breasts and were frightened of being prestigious.
"Uh... but how do we discern that? You can't keep looking at good and bad gear, can you?
Dranes often thinks about Atal's questions. He apparently had no idea.
"Hmm, then let's get some shields and ore here. How about letting our knight slash that and try it in pieces?
Atal and Dranes both nodded at the king's advice.
"Of course I will decide what waves the sword so as not to favour Dranes. - There's no difference, is there?
They nodded at the next question as well.
"Just one thing. I'll take it if I can get something stronger than our weapons. If you can't prepare it... right, it's troublesome to come here every day and be obsessed. If it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll just need the demon props from earlier, the weapons I'll have tomorrow, and then a thousand gold coins."
Dranes blushes his face bright red, remembering the feeling of being ridiculed by this suggestion of Atal.
"Don't tell me it's an extrajudicial condition, okay? That's what I said because I'm confident I can prepare a strong weapon, isn't it? Then prepare me for that confidence, for my pride. That's it."
Atal crushed the remark in a pimply and cold tone as Doranes, with a wide open mouth, tried to complain.
"Ha ha, you're still funny. - Dranes, that's what I told myself. Looking forward to tomorrow."
"Ha, yes!
Dranes knelt down and replied to the king's words after he laughed so loudly during the sight.
