Well, shall we go to the Inn where the Beast King is staying once? The sun is already down, but I want to talk through it by the end of the day.

If I were that beast king, I'd leave Urmut all of a sudden saying I had nothing more to do with it.

The question is, can you catch me at this hour? It's a pretty fancy inn, and I wouldn't be able to imitate breaking and entering, even where the royalty is staying.

I just didn't seem to have to worry about it. He followed me as soon as I gave him my name at the inn. Apparently the instruction from the Beast King to take it down as a top priority was still valid.

"Hey, Miss Fran. I see you again. Hey, what's up?

When I enter the room, the Beast King raises one hand and greets Eagle Deep. You just look like a little light old man when you see it this way.

"What can I do for you?

"Mm-hmm. I'm looking for a ship to go to the Beast Nation."

"Oh! Are you just coming to our country? Then come back with us and we'll be quick!

Oh, come on, you're light. Even if I could accompany an outsider that easily on a royal journey of patience? If that's what you think, Royce complained.

However, it does not feel reluctant to accompany Fran.

"Dear Rig, did you forget to talk about heading to King Kranzel Capital before you leave? You can't just come to another country and say no greetings at all to the royal family."

"Mm, I knew you did?

"Of course."

Do you have a job as a royalty like that after all? We're going to King's Capital too, but we still have time to get to the auction. It is impossible to accompany you to the King's Capital. If I asked you to hire me as an escort, you'd hire me.

"So how are we going to get the lady to our country?

"Nothing. You wouldn't need us to bother to take her, would you? You're such an amazing adventurer to beat Godo, aren't you? You won't have to take care of it."

"Well, that's true."

"I thought we were talking about looking for a ship in the first place."

"Uh, did you?

"At all, the princess and I are close, and I know you care."

"Princess?

"Whoa. I have a daughter who's 15. You're really going to wear it with your daughter."

Is that why the Beast King is sweet on Fran? He seemed to be dabbling his daughter and his near-old Fran with his daughter.

"I'm also in favor of having Mr. Fran come to the Beast Nation. My master will be pleased."

"Right?"

"It's worth a lot of use."

They said usage value towards face to face or something! However, this would be deliberate. Royce is going to use it politically for all sorts of things when he comes to our country, okay? He's asking me otherwise.

Royce is near the Beast King, and he won't be able to just leave Fran, the evolutionary Black Cat clan, alone. There will be an immeasurable impact on the Beast Man. Naturally, if you are the one who keeps the country.

"If you don't like it, I'll run."

"Ha-ha-ha. If the lady gets serious, she'll have to be about me to catch up!

"Oh, that's okay. Because I'm not telling you to be a minister. Go with GiveandTake. Just to show the people once that Mr. Fran is getting along with the Beast King, enough change will come."

Well, you don't mind if that's about it.

"Well, I'll give you this"

"What's this?

What Royce handed Fran was a small plate of metal. Something like a crest is engraved.

"It's an ID with my name carved on it with Master Rigg. With that, you'll be able to get conveniences for ships in the Beast Nation and so on. There must be some merchant ships in and out of Barbora right now in our country. I think if you show it to me, you can ride it fine."

"Really?"

"Yep. You should know right away because you should be flying the same crested flag as that ID"

Something went according to your ideals. But now we can go to the Beast Nation.

Talking about Royce, he told me that the route connecting Barbora to the Beast Nation is used by quite a few merchant ships, one of which should be there every third day. Especially since the ship bearing the crown mark on top of the crest of the Beast Nation is a merchant ship under the direct control of the Crown, it seems that if you show this ID, they will let you aboard with guest treatment.

I got more convenience than I thought.

"Besides, your name and appearance should surely be passed on to the merchants of the Beast Nation. You don't have to have an ID or anything. If you spoke up, you'd definitely let me ride, wouldn't you?

Well, whatever it takes to make sure you get on the boat.

And one more thing I need to ask you. More information about the Divine Blacksmith.

"And where in the kingdom of the Beasts are there god blacksmiths?

"Hmm, you can see that if you go to our country."

"Instruct your country to give you a letter of introduction. Well, I don't know if I'll see you with a letter of introduction."

"It's just that when you get along with that guy, you just have to talk to him so he can take our job."

He's quite a free man, and even a request from the king would turn him down altogether.

Well, we can't make a deal, but if we get along, we can talk about it. I don't even know if I can keep it. It's a promise.

"Mmm."

"Good luck with that. A lot."

"The master is staying in the royal castle, so you should first aim for the capital of the Beast King"

"Okay."
