"The boy is right, Bartol, you are the one who offered to us could see the "firearms".
But I must say that I am actually a bit surprised… I thought that you were just exaggerating, but from what I could see, these weapons are even more dangerous than some magical scrolls. "
"Amazing! That weapon managed to make Bartol have a very bad time! "
"Tch ..."
After the guard I shot complains to me, the other guard steps in to stop him. Besides, the prince approaches me to be able to see the revolver in my hands in a better way, without a doubt now this has managed to attract his attention enough.
Due to the reaction of his companions, the angry guard has no choice but to take his eyes off me and keep his frustration to himself. Well, even though he is angry, his aura only shows this and he doesn't seem to hold any great resentment for what happened before.
But I must say that the prince's words fall short in describing the state of this Bartol. It seems that this not only happened for a bad time, but his face was also pale with some sweat running down his forehead and even his legs seem to tremble a little... the first bullet that almost hit his chest really must have scared him enough.
"Alex... I think that was something excessive... you could have killed him, you know?"
"Well... sorry I almost killed you, guard-san "
"..."
"Alex-san must have known that this person was bringing something to protect himself, Kurisu-san. After all, both of these men seem to be very strong. "
Kurisu who also approaches after the weapon display tells me that with a reproachful tone for which I have no choice but to apologize. Unfortunately, my words only make the others look at me strangely and that's why Saeko tries to help me.
…You see it? Because this I do not like to apologize, for some reason always ends up with others in this way when listening to my sincere apologies. Also, Saeko is right and I was almost certain that nothing bad would happen to that man.
"C-Can I use that weapon?"
"... I think this would be a little dangerous for you to use... leader-san. When shooting it generates a lot of recoil force and if it escapes from your hands, it would be a dangerous thing to shoot by accident and hit someone... already something similar has happened with Rulnemt.
Kurisu, why don't you lend your beretta to the leader-san "
"All right"
Hearing my first words the prince is disappointed, but when Kurisu passes him her secondary weapon, he again shows a smile when holding it and I can almost see his pupils turning into stars. Actually, now he was like a child with a new toy... well, with the difference that this toy was quite dangerous and could kill someone.
"Please don't point the cannon at any person here, that's very dangerous..."
"…That doesn't sound convincing at all coming from someone who just shot a person"
"I-I'm sorry"
Excited to hold the gun, he does what any rookie would do when holding a gun the first time and begins to point it anywhere. So when I see the barrel pointed at me, I quickly push it away and advise him to be careful with the gun.
Ignoring Bartol's reply, I begin to explain how to use the weapon just as I did with the guild sub-leader before. Seconds later, the prince begins to shoot some targets that Palmir places so that he shoots them down.
I must say that although it is a weapon and not something to play with, shooting pistols is quite entertaining… I think in my previous world it is also treated as a sport for this reason.
"Can I use one of those weapons?"
So it is not strange that the other guard approached us to be able to shoot. Nodding at his words, I again ask Kurisu to lend them her rifle.
"Your leader is a… prince. Right Rulnemt? "
" So you noticed this, Alexander-kun..."
"Well... he was practically announcing it, so I think it would be impossible for anyone not to notice this."
"Haaa ... Kurisu-san is right, it would be strange if they didn't notice. In fact, if you did not mention it I would have to worry more since I would begin to think that you have a plan by noticing this and not saying it "
With the prince and his guards entertained by shooting the weapons, I decided to speak to Rulnemt. Although apparently, these Royal guards do not forget their work and when they hear my words they take a quick look at us. Their senses are surely someone's 9th limit and should not be underestimated.
But most likely they knew that the prince's identity couldn't be kept secret since they do nothing for this and only keep exchanging the rifle in order to fire.
"The truth is that I was the leader of this guild, but one day I met the prince disguised as an adventurer… well, that time I thought that I had only met one talent since I felt that he had considerable strength to be someone so young and that's why I invited him to my guild.
Then, later Vernet-san and Bartol-san came and told me who he was and that he had escaped from the castle to play at being an adventurer...
At first I thought I would get in trouble, but the two of them told me that if I let him take command of the guild then the Kingdom would help me. So they explained to me that in this way the prince could play while they can remain him in control and this way he also can learn some leadership by taking over on my guild.
I had no reason to reject this and so it all ended like this, no… maybe I didn't want to know what would happen if I rejected this offer. "
…I think Rulnemt's luck ability has really helped him quite a bit, he practically has Kingdom support for doing of babysitting for some time. Well, he also had to put another person as " Leader " of his guild, but I think that is something bearable and acceptable given the profits from this... it is certainly a better deal than another person who sold himself for the benefits of a noble.
"Well, I think it is a good deal... at least you did not have to sell your ass"
"E-eh? W-Why would I have to sell my ass? "
"Alex, don't be vulgar!"
" ... It's nothing, don't worry. I only remembered an unfortunate person… leaving that aside, Rulnemt I would like to ask you something"
"Fufufu, and without a doubt his biggest misfortune was meeting our group... or perhaps it is more accurate to say "meet to you", Alex-san"
"..."
Since it seemed that Rulnemt was puzzled by my sudden comment and also that Kurisu was angry because of that, I wanted to change the subject but the following comment from Saeko makes him and Palmir just watch me in silence...
"What do you want to ask?"
"I don't know if you have any contacts that can get some [Energy Channels Restoration Pills], I need some of these pills."
"" Energy channel restoration pills? ""
After a few seconds, Rulnemt finally decides to continue our conversation and forget the earlier, so I ask him about the other reason why I had come to the capital.
Then Rulnemt and Palmir were surprised by this. The truth is that although maybe this is somewhat difficult to achieve, I did not believe that it was something that caused this reaction in them... but I immediately understand the reason why they act in such a way given their explanation.
"... that's a difficult thing."
"It is true. Although these pills appear quite frequently at auctions in the capital, very fierce bidding battles are unleashed for them. Not only that... there are even physical fights of people in the 9th limit in order to can obtain them. "
"... people of the 9th limit? Why they would be so interested in those pills?"
Kurisu who was listening to our conversation, when what they say wakes her curiosity, she also decides to participate. I also had some doubts since those people were already at the peak of these level 1 Areas, so I don't think they were having trouble with their energy channels.
"That is because those pills restore the energy channels and many people to be able to make their soul level rise, need their physique to be in perfect condition to be able to do it.
So for many men who get stuck in the 9th limit, that pill is the key to increasing their strength… "
Geh! That sounds very bad... I do not want to have a group of men at the peak of the 9th limit following my steps to steal these from me... I already have enough concerns that one of the 3 girls with me could bring the attention of someone with a lot of influence.
...I think this prince will serve me more than I had thought.
"Boy, it is really a bit boring just shooting these weapons at fixed targets, hehehe… why don't you try to dodge the projectiles too? "
"Hmn? You are stupid? Who would be such an idiot to make of a target for his own and knowing that he can be seriously hurt? "
"Y-You, brat... you've shot me before, so it's only fair that it's my turn to do it!"
" Calm down Bartol, the boy is right. You should have realized how dangerous these weapons are now, so don't embarrass us by asking a child to be a target. "
" Vernet-san... haaa, fine. You are saved, boy "
Suddenly while I was thinking about some things, the guard I shot calls me. Seeing his aura. I can say that most likely he only wants to vent because of the thing of before and surely even if I agreed, he would not point the gun at me to kill me.
I could choose to accept and let him do it to let that little grudge he has against me fade away, but I also didn't want to suffer if he got to aim badly and for some reason a bullet hit me. Also, the girls would surely worry since when Kurisu hears him she gets quite nervous... so it was better to refuse this.
It is good that his partner steps in and makes him give up on that while making a sigh. As I said, the truth is that it's not like he hated me for that and it was more a complaint he had against me.
"Alexander, do you have any more bullets?… That's what you call these shells, right? "
"Sure... they are very interesting weapons, right?
I like you prin-… leader -kun. You seem to be a good person, so… maybe I shouldn't do this, but as a symbol of friendship between us I will give you that weapon as you seem to like it quite a lot "
"Hee? R-Really?!
B-But it seems like a very valuable weapon... I-I don't think I should accept it. Also, I'm glad you think we're friends… I-I don't have friends my age… "
"Hae? Th-that's… "
Being a prince, he surely can't interact with many people his age and so I think it's normal for him to be difficult to make friends with. So it's understandable that he gets quite happy with my words.
Now I had to start to carry out my goals, but seeing how the prince reacts... that makes me feel a little guilty about this.
Well, my words are not a lie and I indeed think he is a good person and someone with whom I can get along... the fact that he is someone useful to me is just an extra.
"What's wrong, Kurisu?"
Also, he was not the only one surprised by my words. When She listens to me give the weapon to the prince, it seems that it affects her in some way... I don't think her concern is because I was giving to other people firearms and that's why I have to ask her.
"T-That weapon you had given me ... so-so ..."
" Oh, I'm sorry, don't consider that ..."
Apparently, the weapon had a somewhat sentimental meaning for Kurisu and so that was the reason for her reaction when she heard me give the weapon to the prince.
So I take the weapon from him and hand it back to her with a smile, immediately reach into my jacket and choose one of the weapons that I had kept in my inventory as a spare and taking out another bettta to give to the prince.
"As you can see, leader -kun. I have some spare weapons and so I would be happy if you accepted this as a gift"
|
"... o-okay. By the way, Alexander... d-don't call me leader -kun... I'm Lorens. I-I allow you to call me by my name "
"I understand, Lorens-kun. Let's be friends from now on"
"Y-Yes!"
After that, Lorens-kun and his guards continue to use the weapons for a time until they finally decide to stop and then we return to the place where we had previously spoken to Rulnemt and Palmir. So there we also completed the deal for the vehicle I had brought and I get my 4 million G.
" Then what will you do now, Alexander-kun? "
"For now I will look for a place to stay a few days in the capital. I will try to find some restoration pills, also I have another matter... the truth is that I need a large amount of food, but for this, I need to get the permission of some important noble in the Kingdom to do this.
So I also have to try to find someone like that and see if I can get this permission... I hope I can find a noble who can help me "
"...In a few days it should be the monthly auction of the Worrul Auction House. There are surely more chances that you can get one, but… I honestly do not advise you to do it if only you four come from your organization.
As I said earlier, getting those pills can carry many risks. I would like to help you with that, but... the truth is that it is something difficult for our guild to be able to do it also.
...As for the second thing, I can also only wish you luck with that.
In what I can help you is with the first thing you said, you don't need to look for a side to stay in the city since you can stay in our guild, surely the leader would be happy for that "
Knowing the difficulties of the reasons why I came here to the capital, the truth was not expecting much help from Rulnem and his guild. Letting me stay here is good enough.
But while saying that to me, he keeps looking at Lorens-kun. Like me, he must have understood that my problems could be easily solved by him, but unfortunately his identity was a secret... or at least that's how he thought things were himself.
"I understand it will be difficult, but I still have to try. I thank you for sparing me the trouble of having to look for an inn all over the city, so I will bother you for a few days here in your guild "
"E-Emmm ... Rulnemt may not be able to help you with that, Alexander... b -but I have some acquaintances who may be able to do something about the permission to buy food... "
"Princ- ... Leader, you shouldn't make those decisions so easily"
" It is good, this should not be much trouble"
"…The leader is right, Bartol. Also, maybe this will help our Ki… our guild "
" Is that true, Lorens? That would help me a lot. "
"Yes, I'll see if I can help you with that"
Then the person who I was waiting for to say something finally decides to intervene in the conversation. Bartol probably thinking that this may cause some trouble for the prince and tries to tell him to consider his actions.
I do not blame him, as his guards surely besides protecting him, they must also see that no one takes advantage of the prince. Unfortunately for him, the prince remains steadfast in his decision to help me, and also his partner supported him.
The latter surely has his own ideas about this... apparently it was no longer only this guild that was interested in the weapons I have. Perhaps this may be a problem, but it may also be a fair thing since it is true that I was taking advantage of the prince.
Although it is not a great concern that I have for this, the truth is that this Kingdom from what I have seen so far has a quite pleasant environment to live and this must be thanks to its rulers. Or at least it must be because the character of these is good enough to not abuse their power.
Surely there are also some who take advantage of their position in this Kingdom, but at least I think most should not be so bad. If not, then this Kingdom would be very different from what I have seen in recent weeks.
Also looking at this prince, I can confirm to some extent my thinking. I can't imagine any evil person raising his child to grow this way... so the King of Delna must have a very acceptable character.

Hello!!
I just wanted to make an announcement. If I close a month (2nd day of the month) with 75 p-a-t-r-e-o-n-s supporting the novel, then I promise to get 5 chapters a week during that month, Monday through Friday (from the region where I live).
So be sure to invite and recommend the novel to all your friends !!
*******.com/Drack21
Is seems that WN is baned the word (p-a-t-r-e-o-n), so "*******" is (p-a-t-r-e-o-n) without "-"
I also wanted to ask to see if there was someone who wanted to support me to edit the previous chapters, I think that way there will be more people who are a little more demanding with grammar interested in the novel.
If you are interested in supporting me on that, you can leave me a message in the comments or on Facebook.
Thanks for the support!!
