Chapter 208
----------------------------------
TDADP chapter 208: Suspicious people.
「You don’t have any complaints, do you?」
In the throne room of the mountain castle in the Nameless Kingdom, Yuu asks the chiefs to express their thoughts again.
「King, as you see, this is the situation. There’s only one――」
「Mauno-dono」
Byarune called his name to rebuke Mauno.
「Mu? Oh, this is rude. I don’t think there’s any excuse for them being beaten up by Kuro. as they’ve surrounded Kuro」
「Hyahya. I was afraid that the demi-humans are also a fighting race, but they were so miserable」
Machupi, who was next to Baba and heard her harsh words, clenched his teeth regretfully.
「The same is true for the beastmen. If you lose so unreasonably, you don’t have the right to refuse Kuro as the general」
Although Mauno and Rubanof were able to enter the castle for the first time, their complexions weren’t excellent. The reason for this is that they challenged a goblin, which is one of the weakest monsters and Kuro who had been despised by a lot of opponents, had defeated them all perfectly.
「Then, everyone will work as usual and follow Kuro concerning the military」
Each chief bows deeply and accepts Yuu’s words. Marifa was watching such depressed men from besides Yuu, but if she was compassionate with them, she was rather angry rather than feeling compassion and mercy. In front of Yuu, although she doesn’t show it on her face, Coro and Ran, who were behind Marifa, are sensitive to it. Both of them were moving behind Yuu as if they were evacuating.
「Russ, I heard you said something」
When the chiefs leave, Yuu talks to Russ who is dissatisfied somewhat.
「Why don’t you sit on the throne?」
While Yuu talked to the chiefs, he never sat on the throne Russ made for Yuu.
「I don’t know why....... This is the throne you made, but it’s a little too flashy, decorated with jewelry, gold, and silver」
「There is no such thing. No one is as good as Master to sit on this throne! That’s what everyone agrees about」
For some reason, even Marifa meditates to Russ´s confident words. Yuu seems to have the illusion that he is a stranger.
「I understand. Let’s talk about the throne again some other time. Today I’m busy with the adventurer registration for Agafon and the others」
「I disagree with putting such in-kind people into Master’s Clan」
「Who do you think you are, such as giving an opinion on the decision of Master?」
「Shut up. I don’t let a biting louse come into a conversation between Master and me」
「That’s enough. I’ll take the Agafon and the others to Comer, so I’ll leave the development of the magic ball and the ship, and the research of alchemy to you. And transcribe the picture book that Namari bought and distribute it to the library. If you forget, Impika and her friends will be noisy. Ah, and don’t quarrel with Kuro again, I will know it right away」
Russ was silently listening to the instructions given by Yuu. As for the research on alchemy, Russ is very welcome because he is working with Yuu on it, but Russ struggles as to why he is doing mass production of picture books for children to read anyway. However, if he makes Impika and other children angry, they will come to the castle and stick to Russ. Just by imagining it, Russ becomes depressed. Eventually, Russ can’t resist Yuu. On this day, Russ will continue to work on mass production of picture books until late at night.
----------------------------------
In one room of the mountain castle, there were the figures of the people who wished to become adventurers such as Agafon and Flavia. All of them had large luggage on their backs, and their faces were full of hope, imagining their future as adventurers.
「Isn’t the King coming soon?」
「It still isn’t the promised time. I’m more worried why Tin and the others are here」
At the point where Flavia looked sideways, there were the figures of slave maid apprentices such as Tin and Vanamo who excelled especially among the maids that follow Marifa.
「Haven’t you heard from Master? We’ll also take care of Master’s mansion」
「What for? You don’t want to be adventurers, do you?」
「That’s it」
Vanamo controls Tin’s attempt to speak.
「It’s your fault. Originally, Master and elder sister managed the mansion, but because you guys said that you want to become adventurers even if you are brilliant, the burden of elder sister increases. Rough beasts like you will not understand the pain of elder sister who had to make such a painful request to the Master we serve」
This is what Marifa consulted with Yuu. Marifa, who had guessed that Agafon and the others would live in the mansion, would obviously take care of them, given Yuu´s character. However, Marifa, who thinks that Yuu has accumulated effort by residents who don’t know the creation of the country and Yuu’s feelings, will bear even a little burden by bringing Tin and the others with high loyalty to Yuu´s mansion. She also thought that it will reduce the burden.
「Vanamo, are you selling a fight?」
「All right, I’m not going to do that. Look, the king is coming」
When the figure of Yuu is seen, Vanamo and the other maids greet him. For some reason, Agafon is tense and stretches his back.
「I kept you waiting」
「We didn’t wait at all」
「You lie. You said, the King should come soon」
「Flavia, don’t say anything unnecessary!」
When Flavia laughs like a mischievous girl and smiles at Yuu, Marifa glares at Agafon with icy eyes. Agafon, sweating coldly, panics and denies it.
「Agafon, I´m sorry. I’m going to connect with Comer city now, so go ahead」
While diving through the door created by Yuu’s space-time magic, Agafon said, 「No, it’s different」.
「Is this the King’s mansion?」
「We shouldn’t call him king anymore」
「I’m calling him as usual」
Akane, who was lying on Agafon’s head, answers the point of the fallen demon girl.
「What. Then what should I call him?」
「Emm. When it’s a clan, you either call him leader or clan head」
「Monique, you know a lot. Well then, its leader」
「Reason?」
「It’s the coolest of all of them, isn’t it?」
「Agafon is stupid after all」
「Shut up!」
「I’m in trouble if you stop there. Could you move on?」
Vanamo urges Agafon and the others who stopped to move forward. Contrary to polite language, it was Vanamo´s voice, which sounded angry. It was Agafon that wanted to say something back, but because Vanamo is right, he goes on. And when they go into the living room, there is――
「What? Someone is there」
「Nobody should be here right now」
「A thief!」
Agafon and Flavia are ready for a fight. Tin, Vanamo and others get their weapons.
「Breaking into Master’s mansion is worth a million deaths!」
Vanamo grabs the edge of the skirt and greets with courtesy. Innumerable foxes hang from the skirt and show up. A large man who lay down with a pair of pants on the couch stands up, awakes with Agafon´s voice.
「Hua~. What are you guys, suspicious people?」
「Yo, Yo, You must say!!」
Joseph sticks his hand into his pants and scratches his ass while stretching. The vulgar gesture reveals the women’s discomfort.
「Thieves? I’ll turn a blind eye on you now」
「You’re kidding! You pervert bastard!」
「Wait. This is certainly a human」
Akane tries to stop Agafon, but Agafon’s momentum with a black iron sword never stops, and he slashes at Joseph.
「Don’t make a loud voice because I woke up」
「Yo, You bastard......! I’m losing to a human by comparing strength!?」
Agafon tried to push the big sword with both hands, but Joseph was holding it down with one hand.
「I’m telling you not to shout」
「Kyann」
「Chew!? Next one!!」
Agafon, beaten by Joseph, is blown away with Flavia along with a pitiful cry. Akane on Agafon’s head fainted by the impact.
「It is pitiful to fall behind when a human pervert is here! Tin, Melanie, support me!!」
「Yes」
「Aiyo」
Tin and Melanie move in response to Vanamo’s attack. The remaining people also attack Joseph from many sides.
「What the hell is this?」
Yuu returns to the mansion late and is amazed by the sight in front of him. Agafon and the others were fainting in a cruel appearance, and the slave maid apprentices were the same, and some even had their skirts rolled up and their underwear exposed.
「Waa, gorilla!」
「Namari, who is the gorilla」
「Eh~. Why is everyone lying down~?」
「......Surely gorilla´s work」
「Lena is right, but it’s sad」
Nina and others decide that it was definitely Joseph that created the situation in front of them. But when Joseph proudly heads to Yuu.
「Oh, are you back? I caught some suspicious people」
「You are the one who is suspicious」
The painful big man approaches cheerfully with a pair of pants. It was no wonder that Yuu was suspicious.
