544 The invitation suddenly turned out to be eight.

As expected, the knights were surprised that [the priest was overthrown and threatened].

……

Well, I guess so. The knights, the knights directly under His Royal Highness the Prince.

Half of them are aristocrats, though they are supremacists.

In other words, there are quite a few "good people (both born and raised noblemen)".

This is not the reason for [because he is a knight with a prince]. Depending on the opponent, a certain amount of identity was required to protect the Prince.

Even so, since it is the nobility that you are dealing with every day, you will not encounter the scene of "a woman pushing down a priest and blackmailing him".

It was a surprising fact for the knights. If I'm good at honey traps, there's still no such thing as a honey trap.

... well, that kind of background must have led to this [invitation].

It is very unfortunate, but even if it is said to be the strength supremacy of Irfena, there is no "identity wall" anymore.

To put it in a bad way, if someone shakes their identity, they will be pushed away or have limited coping options.

That's probably why they were wondering what I did...... 'Speaking of mages, civilians. How can he beat royalty and nobility?'!

It was said that "His Highness the Demon King and his knights are full of achievements" and "they are helping us to protect ourselves from overcrowding", which is probably the main reason.

It was only because the Demon King moved for me and moved the knights that I was able to win.... I guess that's what they thought eventually became [The Mage's Merit].

It should be noted that this is expected to be the same forecast as other countries. Until you see how I do it, though.

Naturally, the current evaluation is completely different. In other words, it is said that the appearance of the demon king's parent cat and the face of the Knight Dormitory have been found out.

(Expected)

The guardian and his knights are moving and tailoring their achievements to protect the otherworldly.

(Reality)

Mage, super damn! What, that rare beast. Nothing scary!? That said, aren't Knight Dormitory Face in tune with the Mage? "Ning, you're not one of them...!?" Owner! Owner! Owner! Your stupid cat and hound are rampaging! Manage! Manage, please! They only listen to what you say! '

The current situation is probably this kind of perception. That's why the demon king is called a "savior of the common sense people" or a "parent cat".

... That being said, we don't want to drop the rating of "children who can".

You'll get a good job! If you expose your incompetence, you will become a disgrace to your owner, the Demon King!

In other words, 'getting results is everything'. Your evaluation is secondary.

In the process, even if I was called an "alien fierce species", I had no choice. Your work is important. The results are even more important.

The demon king often held his head, but it was true that he was only producing results, so he couldn't say "stop".

You can complain to the guy who asked you to do the job. Perhaps some explanation has been given at the stage of making the request, and it is his responsibility at the time of accepting it.

Is there a moral hazard?... hahaha, I don't know!

What I was asked to do was "result", and it doesn't even include care for my surroundings.

Well then, let's go next.

"You must be a woman." You don't have to do that much to get rid of it. "

“That said, more will happen in the future.”

Eh

The Knights may be upset, but I'm not lying either.

No, because... what I'm going to talk about is "how to make sure that the knight who insulted the Demon King is truly admired".

No matter how hard you try, it's full of feelings of punishment game.

Rather, I set him up to be a laughingstock from the beginning!

"It is written in the report that there was a knight of the denomination who insulted the demon king." Well, he told me a lot of things just before that, but I got a full retaliation, so my share has been offset. ”

Rumors about aliens and other things are trivial. You were more embarrassed than King Barakshin, but the Demon King was more important to me.

"Oh, oh, that's what it says." I hear the Argentines are furious. "

"Yes, that's right. So, I insulted the royalty of other countries, and I had those people who were in a position to be their protector... the head of the company. They were scum, too."

I wish I had been honest and said 'I'm sorry', but they gave me an ugly excuse. Even my own king is apologizing!

"Well, even the king of his own country apologizes, but he can't even apologize properly." In addition, the knight said, "I have a track record of protecting the people, and I am admired." Then, I decided to ask you to prove it. It's me who came up with the idea. "

Huh.

"By the way, he said it before the king of Barakshin and the demon king, so he said," If I hadn't been admired by the people, I would have added my lies against the♡ royalty of the two kingdoms. ""

"That's the induction..."

"They were the first ones to say it."

"No, that's why..."

“They said it themselves. It's a lie, it's a fact."

Don't be a subtle expression, knight. Because I didn't tell a lie, even if I did.

In the first place, I'm a civilian. No one would be ashamed to hear of a nobleman guided by civilians to dig graves.

"And since this is a corner opportunity, why don't you prove to the saint that the church is not the same as the church nobility?" "Then, after discussions with the church officials, the saint, as the representative of the church, said," We are not like you! "'and we'll stick it out. …… physically”

"Wait, wait, what does' physically 'mean!?"

It didn't seem to make sense, and the knight had to wait. Others seemed to have question marks on their heads.

I see... yeah, I know how it feels to tilt your neck. Those who are priests usually speak calmly or protest verbally.

However, as far as I can recall the state of the saints at that time, even if I change the words like "sermon", "protest", "object", I think it will be a physical act.

"Even the royal family will not receive the words of a priest." So I taught them a way to protest that was easy to see from anyone's eyes. If you have both words and deeds, no matter who sees them, they'll say, "Oh, you're not close." "

"Eh... do I have to do that? Well, you're a priest, aren't you? I think there is a connection between faith and church nobility."

"If you're a true believer, you can talk, but if you're a believer (laughs), you can't. However, because the saint is an honest priest, the behavior of the believer (laughs) was broken. If you think you've kicked out scum that's spreading through the church, the next incident is here. The scum church aristocrats will speak up for themselves unless they show an attitude of farewell. Protests were a must to prevent that.”

As a matter of fact, no matter how fine the words of the saints may be, for the church nobles, the possibility of ending with "folk farce" is great.

That said, as long as there was a trump card called "donation to the church", he would have known that the church could not defy him.

... but if the survival of the church could be jeopardized, even if it is used by church nobles, then that's fine.

Either way, if there's no way out, the mage-sponsored event, "Tengu to scum!" '(tentative) You still have less regrets.

Because if I act, the mage will be on my side.

At the very least, I can expect a good impression from the Balakshin royal family and Ilfena.

"The saint lamented so much that he felt more sorry for watching..." That's why I proposed it. "In any case, you have to protest the inclusion of physical attacks."

"Huh..."

"Of course, the opponent is a knight." The saint is a priest. Since the difference in combat ability is obvious, I thought that the saint should not hurt his hand, so I strengthened the book that was to be discarded, and gave a little support, saying, "Kill me with this." "

"How...? Kill me...?"

"It was the moment when my heart and saint met." With a burgeoning sense of solidarity, I can also help explain to the people of the church. Ah, they asked me, "Is there anything we can do about it?", "I'm sorry for the obstruction, but I'm going to swear that I won't use violence, so why don't we all surround ourselves so that we can properly listen to the saint's sermon?" 'and Advice'

It's not a lie. "How can the people of the church who are powerless and not good at violence help the saints like them?" There is only "Lose your way."

In the first place, this is an event to make sure they're right, so obstruction and aid are allowed.

If resented, those who would be enemies would continue to emerge.

If they are remembered, then those who shelter will continue to emerge.

That's all there is to it. It's a valid event to make sure they're right.

Best of all, I'm super fun...!

In any case, since it only appears to be a punishment game - walking around the city naked - it is natural for the church of the saint to move to become more interesting as the best entertainer and mage.

People call it 'spectacle'.

No matter how brilliantly you say it, the fact that a naked man walks around the town doesn't change.

Plus the saints & the churches there! Along with the lesson that "faith must not be discredited", it will be known that "it was a situation where priests and believers were cut off".

"Well, the results were as expected. The saint seemed to have quite a head, and it seemed to have been very effective in beating and kicking along with the words of protest."

No, it's called 'Big Activity'.

"Incidentally, the knights in charge of healing magic and surveillance seemed very moved by the courageous actions of the saints, and it seems that he did not let them live and did not kill them." It looks like you couldn't escape until you fainted because your fellow knights hated you. "

Seriously. It seems that [no one] did not stop the saints, knights who served as watchdogs and healers.

"After that, I said, 'The church is not on the side of the church nobility!' So I convinced King Barakshin as well. The troubled church nobles were also made aware that faith and believers could not be used as an excuse in the future, and it was pleasant to be pale."

"... all of these were your schemes, the church secured its financial resources, Lord Felix and Lady Sandra came to the church, and the royal family cleared themselves of years of grief..."

“Broadly speaking, that's how it is.”

……

"The matching of interests is a lovely bond, isn't it? This time, forces other than the church nobles joined forces to get what they wanted."

"Yeah, that's right. As a meritorious worker who thinks about that scenario, do you have anything to say?"

I grinned at the warm, raw gaze that perhaps contained shock.

"The fact that I didn't know the word 'poisoning' is the reason for the defeat of the church nobility.... it seems that the world didn't know that" there are delightful criminals who enjoy playing with their enemies even if they don't have their own interests "."

Even the strongest opponent, there would be a certain number of players who enjoyed challenging themselves.

Rather than relying on their own wins and losses, there was nothing they could do about 'I want to see the face of the overwhelmingly powerful defeated and distorted by humiliation, but I will do my best'.

It was out of luck to sell a quarrel to one of them, me. Although the demon king was angry, I enjoyed it.
