108 Chapter 6-7 Identity of Stalkers

"Well gathered, all of you. Now we're throwing a party. Cheers."

The party began with a very succinct king's voice.

Around hundreds of aristocrats and special invitees were present in the large room for the Royal Castle event, all moving in unison in the words of the King.

The place where I am now is in the corner of the venue, where the same special invitees as me are gathered, far from the nobles.

This has become a kind of escape zone where special invitees and nobles cannot be kept waiting until the beginning in the same place. A similar place had been created on the noble side of this.

This is primarily to protect special invitees from the powerful solicitations of the nobility. Occasionally, there is the opposite pattern, but in that case it often goes straight to the dungeon, so the aristocratic side will not be drawn to the escape zone.

And there's food here, too, so you don't have to leave on purpose.

Besides, only the organizers can get into both places, so as long as I'm here, I can hardly say that I get into trouble (...).

"That's better than I thought."

"This is delicious too"

"Hey, Blanca. You can drink this!

"Oh, this is pretty good too"

Amur, Jin, and Blanca are solidifying around me right now.

Several noblemen watched this one from a critical position, so they decided not to move from here.

For that reason, Grandpa said, "I had a good drink over there, so I thought I'd get it for a while" and left.

"So, is Tenma here all the time?

Jin asked while choosing his next drink. Jin didn't say it out loud, but it sounded like the people who were listening here made it slightly quieter around.

"No, I'm not going to be pulling here at all times. I think I'll pick you up in a little while..."

Before I finished saying everything, one of the servants approached me and pounded my ear.

"Apparently, he's picking you up, so I'm coming."

"I'll follow you, too"

"Lady... please, don't bother me"

On both shoulders of Amur, who tried to follow me, Blanca lays her hands down and says with a serious look. At that time, you were looking at my face, so I assume you're asking me to follow you.

I wish Blanca would have followed me if I was that worried, but I didn't end up coming because there seemed to be something going on.

"If you need anything, bring it to me."

Next to Blanca, who looked bitter, Jin waved at her. Apparently the liquor is coming around.

"Thank you for waiting. Duke, and Primera."

It was the Duke of Sanga who picked me up. Behind them are also beautifully dressed primera.

"No, I'm not waiting that long, that's all right. Better yet, you're getting noticed."

"Father, that's natural. Instead, I wonder what it would be like as a nobleman not to pay attention here."

Unlike usual, he shook his hand with the Duke of Sanga and walked out uncomfortable with Primera, who looked like a proper Duke's Lady.

The destination is where the kings wait.

In that way, the nobles who seem to be royalty smile, and the nobles who seem to be reformists look bitter. Let's keep a good memory of the aristocrats who tongue or stare at this one among them.

We walked straight between the participants and arrived in front of the king.

There is only the King and Maria, and the Marquis of Sammons, and Caesars seem to be dealing with other participants.

"Oh! If you're tempted, you're wearing Isabella's gifted clothes fast!

Before the king opened his mouth, Maria was happy to see the clothes I was wearing. Due to Maria's loud voice, the nobles who were wanting to see how this one was doing around are bluffing.

Like ignoring such aristocrats, Maria sees to make sure I dress up and nods contentedly.

"Fine... but I'd love to see you in my clothes."

and nodding, he comes to convey his demands in a natural stream. Next time I'll tell you to come and see me in those clothes.

To Maria's words, the king came banging me on the shoulder with a laugh. And...

"Congratulations on winning, Tenma. And thank you for the crusade of the Dragon!

To the king's words, the nobles around him said, "Was that rumor true!" I hear voices saying,

Kings who don't have to bother saying things like this to get my attention still don't seem to have the personality. And now he's laughing at his face like he did when the prank succeeded...

"Don't get too well, you..."

Maria's voice, low and quiet, felt the ambient temperature drop.

The nearest, whispered king, nodding quietly with a cold sweat from his forehead.

"I'm sorry, Tenma. I'm gonna take my seat off a little bit. I'm coming, you."

With that said, Maria took the king to the royal holding room.

We were left on the spot to be dismayed.

"Well, as usual..."

To my whining, the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons nodded lightly. But as far as I'm concerned, it's just the right opportunity.

Among the aristocrats who have been asking about us for some time now, there are those who would like to say hello.

A glimpse of where those people are and a pair of eyes meet me will come this way.

Originally, the act of interrupting would be disrespectful where the nobility above himself was, so the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons frowned for a moment, but immediately went back to normal after checking with the other person.

"What is it, you guys?"

"Call me and come back."

Coming close to us are two pairs of men, each with an atmosphere similar to that of the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons.

"Brother, where is Brother Lion?

Primera called out to the taller of the pair.

The man frowned for a moment before

"I don't know. They must be heckling somewhere again."

I said.

To the words, the Primeras are a convincing face.

"Well, if you leave him alone, you start by introducing yourself. I am Albert von Sanga, Duke of Alsace von Sanga's son. Call me Albert. Become the belly brother of Primera, who is causing all kinds of trouble. Stay tuned."

He's one of the stalkers who used to put me around, and he's the best beauty in the threesome. Apparently, it inherits the blood of the Duke of Sanga in colour.

"Is it strange to say that it's a first......? I'm Cain von Sammons, the Marquis of Sammons. I'm sorry about everything my brother did. And I'm fine with Kain. I don't need any respect."

This man with Nori's light spot is the best child face in the threesome. She's as tall as me, but she looks younger because her body lines are thin. Not very much like Gary, and not much of a face for the Marquis of Sammons.

"Nice to meet you. And there..."

"Stop! That's still funnier to ignore."

Albert stopped me when I asked him about the man behind us. Apparently, he's gonna leave it here until he gets here from himself.

"By the way, Mr. Tenma. Have you ever met your brothers?

From the atmosphere of our greeting, Primera asked me strangely. The Dukes seem to be concerned too, so when I told them something funny and strange about being stalked before, the two fathers were desperate to laugh.

And when Primera says, she looks at them with a slight contempt.

"Brother Albert, Brother Cain... did you both prefer men..."

He also said.

Because of this, Cain and the other guy named Lion seemed to have a childhood relationship with Albert, and Primera, who was close to his age, had him play a lot as a kid. That's why they're calling you both brothers.

It should be noted that he has little familiarity with Gary, Cain's brother.

"It's a misunderstanding!

"That's right! It's a misunderstanding!

Amur, who saw the two panicking, pointed to them...

"Tenma, are you a faggot?

And he asks me with his neck tilted. I immediately shook my head to the side, pointing to the man who was still behind me asking how this was going.

"Not me, those two and the guy over there."

The two of them shake their heads hard and sideways in those words, but they hear "I knew it" or "I thought it was suspicious" from around them. Among them, some older women hear yellow voices like excitement.

Looks like rotten ladies. They still live in this world, too.

One of the others (Stalker III) is coming up here because he mistook me for pointing out.

The footsteps are somewhat light, and the face smiles.

"You called!

No. 3 laid his hands on the shoulders of Nos. 1 and 2 with a delightful voice. At that moment, the three of them and the near-aged rotten ladies were very pleased. Inside, there are even people who erupt nosebleeds and fall or cry down.

"Hey, what the fuck! Oh, come on, Albert! Cain, what's going on?

No. 3 can't go about the situation around him, and he's trying to get close to his face and ask what's going on, shaking the two shoulders hard. And another annoying cry.

I look sideways like that, and I walk away from it. And follow me, Amur and Primera.

The Dukes of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons are trying hard to put up the noise, but the momentum of the ladies is hard to come by.

Eventually, the party was temporarily interrupted in order to stop the noise, and the place was changed to the courtyard and the party resumed.

The reunited party did not see the corrupt ladies. Apparently, the ladies left with their parents because of a sudden illness.

Parents must have had tears.

"I've had a terrible time..."

"I can't read the air in a heck of a way, and I can't believe I'm a plague god over my brain muscle... Lion can't save me."

"... you know I'm not bad"

As the center of the commotion, the three people who were asked about the situation by the Kings were frightened.

However, in the end, the three of them were not guilty, and they decided that this was an unfortunate accident of the ladies who had a sudden seizure... Otherwise, there seemed to be more than one lady with an embarrassing and suicidal atmosphere, and the boulder kings thought it was bad.

We are now in a private room close to the courtyard, and we are taking a pre-construction break to discuss the accident earlier...

"So now that we have all three of them, what was the business you were following me on?

I've finally decided to ask all three stalkers the truth about stalking around the city.

There are also Dukes of Sanga and Marquis of Sammons in this place, and the two look at the three of them with a rugged face.

"Shall we solve our misunderstandings first? Me and Cain aren't going to stalk you, they're just staying with Lion."

"I apologize for the stalking, but our real purpose was to have it between us when Lion spoke to you. Because me and Albert's family knew each other, and all of a sudden, even if we met, we'd be listening, so Lion was taking us around."

"Well that and this is because of Lion's heckling, he became the feather to be attached to the perverse act he said he would follow for days..."

They were staring sideways at Lion, pleading their innocence.

To the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons. Primera seemed relieved that her son or brother did not have kinky thoughts.

"I understand about you two, but what's the business of Mr. Lion at heart?

"Uh-huh, um... you know..."

As I spoke, Lion began to feel comfortable with her mouth as it seemed difficult to say.

"That's disgusting."

That's disgusting.

To that appearance, Albert and Cain immediately penetrate.

Even if the two of them disgust me, Lion won't try to cut out the story, so I'm getting tired of hanging out.

"If you don't need me, I'll go back. Now if you'll excuse me."

Gently lowering his head to the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons, I walked out to the door.

Until then, Grandpa, who was as quiet as the air, greeted the two gently and lined up beside me. Amur followed me right behind me and Primera was a little confused, but the Duke of Sanga urged me to follow her.

And when I put my hand on the door, Lion finally uttered the word.

"Wait! Do me a favor!

I stopped at the word and turned to Lion.

In response to Lyon's words, there was a happening that Amur, who was walking right behind me, hit my back because I suddenly stopped, and I couldn't leave with a hug confused by its awkwardness, but I pulled it off forcefully because it was going to be a serious story, and deposited it with Primera.

"Thank you for waiting. So, what is a favor?

When I stood in front of him and looked him in the eye, it seemed that Lion had finally made up his mind and shouted as if he could hear it outside...

"Tenma, come to me!

I said... with a very serious look...

I slowly retreat and distance myself from Lion.

Amur is blocking and intimidating me with Lion like he's covering me.

Looking around, the Dukes of Sanga were equally distant.

"Lion... my friendship with you has never been..."

Among them, Albert was moving toward me and Primera with a serious look.

Cain also distances himself with a dry look and is by the Marquis of Sammons.

"Heh? Why?

Lion doesn't seem to know what it is. I was a little upset about that, but I kept my distance.

"Lion, think about the meaning of what you just said. Whatever you think, it just sounds like you confessed to Tenma."

You figured out what Lion was trying to say, and Cain started teasing Lion.

Albert seems to have calmed down a little when he got here, and he seems to have relieved himself of his guard.

"Huh? Huh! I didn't mean it! I just want Tenma to come visit me at home!

Lyon is surprised and shouts the meaning of the earlier words. I wish I could say that from the beginning...

"I know what you mean, but why are you suddenly here to see me?

Cain, I tried to hit Lion, who started making a scene with him, with what I wondered. I still know if this is Albert or Cain, who is close to his father, but I don't see why Lion should come visit.

I've thought about it since I was stalked, but it doesn't feel like Lion's trying to take me in, rather it looks like he's backing off.

"Tenma's native is Kukuri Village, whose Kukuri Village was located on the Houst Border Uncle Territory (...). And Lion is the man of Houst Border Uncle"

"I guess the reason is because I want to put a stop to the economic deterioration of the Houst Border Borders."

My questions were answered by Albert and the Duke of Sanga.

"Is the one who says that the deterioration of the economy has exacerbated adventurer separation because of the Kukri village incident?

When I came up with a story that I had heard about in the past, they nodded and affirmed.

"It's getting a lot calmer now, but there's a chance that we'll be following the descent line again."

Albert said the possibility of following the descent line was because I was active in the tournament.

Previously, the economy had deteriorated to cut off the adventurers who had simply been cordial with Kukri Village, but now it is somehow stable. Except, 'in a depressed state'.

"If it were the same state as before, Lion wouldn't have been in such a hurry, but after Tenma had the dragon as his family, he made a name for himself in the Games with his first two-division reign, and even more single-handedly destroying the dragon and furious momentum. When that happens, there will be people spreading rumors about 'where I kicked that tenma out' or 'where I tried to kill the tenma'... or they are starting to come out. Mostly from the Uncle Haust and the unfamiliar nobles and nobles who want to sell their charm to Tenma."

I hear Lion needs to make them think they're close to me.

But even if Lion approached me alone and asked me to do so, he'd probably say no to me. That's why they said it was Albert and Cain to make it a little more likely.

They said they didn't make any more sense with Lion's hectic condition than they thought they were going to go along and make a hang-up the way they said they would listen to me first.

"As much as I'm going to play, I don't mind... if the House Border House is trying to take me in, I just can't do it"

"That's guaranteed by me and Cain. If Lyon's gonna do that, that's what we're gonna do with the House Border House."

He won't actually be able to completely cut off the edge, but he's prepared to guarantee it.

Looking around, I watched the Duke of Sanga, the Marquis of Sammons, and Primera begging... just that Lion at heart is desperate to catch Cain and seems to forget about me.

"... sorry. Just give me a minute."

Albert approached Lion and Cain as he held his head by his hand, kicking the two as hard as he could. And I sat the two of them down and started preaching.

I just gave some sermon and pulled Lion to me and held my head down.

"Why should I do what you ask me to do instead!

With that said, Albert left Lion on the spot to go away.

After being a little lost, the leftover lion opened his teasing mouth with temper.

"Right now, the Houst Frontier Uncle Territory is in crisis. I can't leave you like this, even though you deserve it. Tenma may be angry with you for convenience, but help me for my land, please."

Keep your head down and ask me to come, Lion. From that appearance, I could not feel the hectic appearance until earlier.

"Fine."

I promised not to leave much time between them. Lion's mouth is half open in surprise because I gave her my consent.

"However, there are conditions. First of all, never think about adding me to the ministry. Besides, it helps people from Kukri Village when something goes wrong. And finally, help me to the best of my ability when something happens. If you promise me that, every time you do, I'll tell you that there's no separation between you and Uncle Haust."

"I will! But I will contact my father right away, and I will make sure! If I say I won't, I'll chase you down, but I'll make you!

When you hear my words, Lion is shaking his head vertically in excitement. I was too excited to hear the words a little, but the same is true of what I said on this occasion on behalf of Uncle Borderline, so I asked the Dukes of Sanga and Sammons to be witnesses once and for all.

They both took it on quickly, and let me prepare a pledge, and even signed each other's family crests on it.

Even if Uncle Borderline objected to this, he would not withdraw this promise until he was in conflict with the two of them. That's what I thought. Lion says thank you to both of us, but I saw it. I saw it. The moment Lion missed her gaze from the two of them, they were laughing with a bad face...

Perhaps now the House Border Bo family thinks that the possibility of taking me in as a minister is infinitely close to zero.

Neither of you know that I have no chance of becoming a minister right now, but I don't know what will happen in the future, so I guess you want to leave a little bit of potential for that.

For this reason, we have fewer competitors, and I guess the best situation is to say that we have proof of this.

Well, if this brings us together, we don't have to bother pointing it out.

"Yo! Let's go, Tenma!

"What?"

When Lion puts his hand on my shoulder, he tries to take me to the party venue dressed as it is.

If I thought I was all of a sudden familiar, Albert grabbed Lion's back hair and pulled it.

"Whoa! What the fuck, Albert!

"You're really a brain muscle, you... you forgot your sires pissed me off earlier?

"It's sad, but that's why Lion is so..."

Cain makes a fool of Lion as he pretends he is grieving.

Lion, too, let go of my hand as he roared, seemingly uncontroversial when the boulder gave him the earlier case.

"Tenma, Lion just went a little rampant because I want to let him know right away that it's a friendly relationship with you. As far as I know, you shouldn't have been interested in the public roads... so don't worry."

"I'm not interested in that! I love women!

Lion disputing Albert's words, but I don't know how to disprove them either. Well, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, but you better watch your language more carefully.

"Well, that's why we should all go to the venue"

That's what Cain said, he tried to line up next to me as he pushed my back, but this was stopped by Amur. On the other side of it was Primera, pushed by the Duke of Sanga, and Cain was tongue-in-cheek.

As a matter of fact, Cain was the one who said he was willing to take the road or something, there's no such thing as...

Later on, I heard that this Cain's behavior was merely to appeal to Gary (...), who was the only one who behaved with me at the Marquis of Sammons, and that he was a friendly relationship.

When I heard that, I was heartbroken.

After we got out of the room, we took ourselves to the party venue.

The nobles who were paying attention to me were more surprised that Lyon, the next Haust Borderline uncle, was speaking more intimately to me than I was to speak easily with the Dukes of Sanga and Sammons.

I guess they thought it was an unlikely combination.

However, Lion was very pleased with the reaction. Because this reaction is the situation that Lion wanted, and the more noise the other nobles make, the more signs of economic recovery in the Houst Frontier Uncle Territory can be seen.

The reaction around us was a little harsh, but we talked a lot while we decided to ignore it and enjoyed it.

Fortunately, there were only those present in this venue who were in a faster position to count from above, so no other nobles would come to interrupt the conversation, and even so the royal nobility would come to greet the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons.

That, too, has stopped coming since the Dukes of Sanga said something.

Like that, each enjoying a chat and a meal, it became noisy from those outside the royal castle.

Something happened and when the people at the venue made a scene, there was a guy who suddenly jumped over the fence and broke into the venue.

He's streamlined, shining in the light of the venue... I knew him.

"And hey hey hey! Ohhhhh!

"What, not......, Namitaro!

Namitaro, who found me, stopped in front of me with a magnificent drift. That fin has lanterns, and just a little bit. Isn't that really a big deal? I thought so.

"It's tough! Tenma, Jeanne and Aura have been captured!

Against my expectations, something really was going on.
