272 253, I'm gonna get drunk.

Castal Royal Castle, two people staring at each other between sights.

Mine Castal, on the other hand. He is the young king of the year here in Castal Country.

The other is Wright Marvel. He is the new emperor of the Marvel Empire.

... too, a sudden visit.

Wright had no apology or anything, and it took him three days to secretly come to the kingdom. The day after his reign, he had already departed.

The confession is only made by SS. The notice to the Kingdom of Castar was that morning. It was an electric visit that should be said to be completely informal, no, informal as well.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your new emperor's reign"

However, a boulder should be called a king, Mine says sarcastically.

"We are truly afraid that you have come a long way to greet us. Please be patient as we prepare to welcome you as soon as possible."

Mine stabs a little ticklish while lining up the hard and seemingly like words. I didn't mean to, but my heart went into words.

Yes, it even seemed calm, and its insides, to tell the truth, were a good place to panic.

The emperor, or head of state, will visit immediately. This can be called the strongest diplomacy (...).

It was this morning that Mine received a startling report of the emperor's unofficial visit. The kingdom leaders panicked, and when they were found "already arriving in front of the royal castle" in the midst of their tender preparations, Nanaka Mine also had to hold his head with a deep sigh.

And then we struck out as a last resort.

With a serious look, Mine said at that time:

- "Send for Mr. Second," he said.

The last resort was the summons of the final weapon.

Mine has also received reports that a month ago, a first-test carriage carrying a second left the castal kingdom. Then for twenty-six days, perhaps the second was away from the embassy of Zipang. And almost at the same time as the second domestic emergence report five days ago, if the emperor of the Marvel Empire were to have changed generations...... we have to suspect some involvement.

No, that's the only evidence I thought was thin. That's what I was thinking until earlier, that it wasn't enough to call and listen. However, with this electric visit by the Emperor, things changed.

On this occasion, Mine comes to certainty. Emperor Marvel decided to make an informal visit because the second revealed something in the empire (...)...

"First of all, I thank you for your congratulations. And a sudden visit, excuse me. But it was urgent, and this is how we visited informally. King Castal's own welcome, sincerely painful."

The light opposite Mine speaks like an emperor, mindful of the language. The word has no precipitation whatsoever.

Because the expansion to this point was generally what Wright was after.

Wright knew Mine would rush to call for a second involvement. Therefore, I did not give notice until I was critical. to hasten Mine.

Thus, it was the aim of the Marvel Empire to pull the second out into the diplomatic arena rather than meet the second privately.

This bold, cunning and unpleasant way of diplomacy will not have to be put into words, such as where the hell the sarcastic wisdom lies.

"-"

In a moment, a dark shadow descended behind the throne.

It is Akon.

Klaus, standing instantly to block Mine and the throne, gently lowered the hand that accompanied his hips sword as he confirmed his appearance. Guess who's coming (...).

Meanwhile, the SS chief Olympia, who accompanies him as an escort to Wright, was struck by an inescapable despair as soon as he saw Akoko.

It could be described as a state of primitive, biological, instinctive, pure “fear” in which many of those who first looked directly at Akoko would fall.

It's intuitive that you have a different character as an organism. You are convinced that there is no enemy, and you give in independently of your will, physically and mentally.

"- Second!"

- Mr. Second.

And it was the Second First Test that showed up shortly after that.

Let them hold you, and you will be summoned in an instant.

"... hmm?

"... Huh?

Wright and Mine, who accidentally called the second name, set aside a beat and looked at each other.

Why are you calling me so close (...)? That's where we were concerned about each other.

"Oh, Olympia, couldn't you move? Don't get sick, I can't help it. But once you look at it, you're used to it, right? It's okay, we can move on next."

The second said so to Olympia, who opened his eyes and solidified, as he "repatriated" Akoko in a floating manner.

It can be said that Olympia's first job as SS chief, the inability to move even one step at a moment when he also seemed to be the biggest crisis in this informal visit, is the greatest disgrace to him. It is the kind care of a second to know such an Olympian's noble character.

".................. ugh!

Olympia bowed her head silently.

In front of King Castal, you can't call the second "Knight Chief" or anything like that. Not to mention out of the question such as putting aside lights and expressing gratitude on your own. Therefore, it was indicated only by attitude, not words.

"Huh."

Seeing how Olympia looks like that, Klaus quietly raises one corner of his mouth.

I found a way out. During this visit, Mine was being pushed by the lights... but when I compared the escort (...), I realized that the minute was likely to be on this side.

Klaus wondered if he could aim to reverse the situation by attacking Olympia while protecting Mine.

It is not a castal kingdom where the Marvel Empire behaves so rudely that it can remain silent.

Even if he doesn't... he's not the kind of brother that can keep his brother quiet while he's being pushed.

"... So, what's this situation? Why is there a light? Why did they call me?

Meanwhile, the second, who just cared about Olympia for now, while not knowing anything, said so with his neck tilted as he looked alternately at Mine and Wright.

Why a second was called on this occasion. Mine intended to call him as a pinch hitter, but that was just made to do so by Wright.

So why did Wright want to call a second on this occasion?

The reasons for this were closely related to the future of the Marvel Empire and the Kingdom of Castar.

"Ohon...... well done, second. I have a story for you and King Castal today."

Wright talks backwards when he does it, in the wind of coughing one up and getting back on his mind.

This was the limit of the fourth day of becoming emperor.

Until the second appeared, I was able to speak as an emperor without being otherwise shy, but since the second appeared that I knew the vegan lights well, I've been kind of embarrassed as soon as I could.

"Nhoo."

"Oh, don't laugh! Hey!"

The second laughed in the back of his throat at at the lack of that much gibberish.

The light turns on, and I raise a voice that doesn't deserve the place.

"I feel like an emperor, Wright."

"You're making fun of me!

"I didn't. I didn't."

"Ugh! Whose fault do you think this happened!

"Cigarone?"

"It's you. Ahhh!!

Light yells the second with a bright red face and plenty of anger.

It is no longer something that had majesty or flatulence.

Mine and Klaus looked at such a new emperor Marvel with their eyes on him.

"Heh, Your Majesty... Your Majesty"

"Look, Second! Mostly you're always... Huh? Ah..."

When the Olympia I saw spoke to Wright, Wright returned to me haha.

"... oho, oho! Whoa, whoa! Okay, let's get back to it. It's about the future of empire and kingdom."

Cough it up three times, Wright decides to ignore the second and turns back to Mine with a firm look.

As far as he was concerned, that's all we really needed to talk about. Therefore, I left the conversation with the second behind for the first time.

"Okay. Okay, in the back reception room."

Mine nods and leads everyone to the reception room.

…………

Klaus grinned bitterly for about a second with his fingertips between his eyebrows, followed by a refreshing and mine.

I couldn't help laughing.

Before and after the second appearance, the air on the field is clearly changing too much.

So much so that it seems foolish that I was plotting to reverse the situation.

"Huh..."

With a loud sigh, Wright glanced at the second with his jitty eyes and headed to the reception room.

A little behind it, accompanied by Olympia with a stretched spine.

Once, Olympia thanked Bisili beautifully for the second before concentrating on escorting Wright later.

The SS leader is, so to speak, the successor to the Knight of Seven Kingsguards. In front of the second, I want to show you where I'm doing my job.

"Are we going to discuss this? Am I in? Right. Then eat lightly but mesh...... oh, no, I hope you can't, if you can't. Sorry. I'm sorry. Don't stare at me so much. I'm sorry. 'Cause I'm still here in the morning. Me."

A second accompanying the four of them, saying such a detachment, is stared at by Mine and Wright.

How far out of common sense is it? Terrible disrespect that would normally be unacceptable, but there is only one person on this occasion who would rather prefer that out-of-power attitude of his shoulders.

The second is, are you doing it on purpose, or what? But in a statement that could also be taken as a joke, it was true that Mine, Wright, Klaus and Olympia had all forgotten the tingly unpleasant air and regained their normal hearts until then.

"- Then, to get straight to the point, reveal the purpose of the Marvel Empire in this informal visit"

When you get to the reception room and each one sits down, the lights break the silence first.

As he put it, it was the very subject they brought with them.

"The Marvel Empire hereby expressly acknowledges and apologizes for its inhumane actions and pays compensation for its acts of aggression and intelligence operations against the Kingdom of Castar in the past two years"

acts of aggression and intelligence work. I don't even have to think about what this refers to.

It is about the imperial dog, Chancellor Bal Moreau.

"Klaus. I forbid you to speak later without my permission"

Mine immediately sealed Klaus' mouth.

Klaus' resentment of Bal Morrow is too great. Mine dared to do so so so that Klaus wouldn't be too rambling about being emotional, and so that he could listen calmly.

Klaus is familiar with the care. For that reason, Klaus had no objection whatsoever to obeying that order as a slave.

"I see. Is that what you wanted me to hear?"

The second, on the other hand, hears the empire's apologies and reparations to give him a convincing look.

Yes, it was this man who solved one case in Bal Moreau within the Kingdom of Castar, not another. It can therefore be said that accepting or refusing an apology depends on the second.

That is why it was always necessary to be politically present. I couldn't just meet him privately and apologize.

"What exactly do you think of compensation?

When Mine asked that, Wright answered without getting her hair in between.

"An indemnity of CL 80 billion and the conclusion of an inviolability treaty. I'm thinking about this."

Less. Though Mine thinks so, he throws the next question without moving his expression.

"Why do you limit yourself to two years?

"My father was brainwashed for two years. I want to apologize for my father's misjudgment in order to brainwash and for all the inconvenience he caused to the Kingdom of Castal."

"Weren't acts of aggression and intelligence by the Marvel Empire more than two years ago?

"As the current emperor, I want to apologize for my responsibilities and to the extent I can obtain them. We would like to have a bilateral consultation at the moment on what happened before."

"Okay."

At the end of the question, Mine went into the long run.

The second is unexpectedly impressed to see how that goes.

How much evil was done by Bal Moreau is still new to my memory. Mine's father, former king Bawel Castal, was killed, Klaus was taken up and used, and the kingdom was doomed.

The lights, I don't know. Even if you know Bal Moreau's outrageous deeds as facts, you haven't seen them with those eyes. Therefore, I did not understand. the lightness of the word apology for two years.

Mine had been told so much that he had no choice but to be emotional. In the meantime, we're told to pour it into the water with 80 billion CL and an inviolability pact. That doesn't make me angry.

But Mine never gets angry. Words aside, I don't even put them on my face.

Because he's a king.

Mine knew exactly what it meant to carry the country.

"On this occasion, now, let us give you an answer. The Kingdom of Castar does not accept apologies from the Marvel Empire, receives no compensation and makes no inviolability pact"

Unstoppable rejection.

Light, who heard the response, makes him jump a shiny, shaped brow.

When did they do it, the ordinary hearts of the four of them, even brittle and broken apart?

"Wright, I hope you will visit us again when you understand the new Emperor Marvel. Be sure to pay an official visit then. We welcome you as a national guest."

Mine's words were just like no island to attach, and Wright had trouble saying how to return them.

It was unexpected. Even though Cigarone's instructions were given as a way to pull out the second, it was Wright himself who considered this apology.

From now on, the Marvel Empire and the Kingdom of Castar need to reconcile so that we can get along. It was an apology I thought about with such simple thoughts.

I wasn't expecting to be rejected.

"Oh, yeah, what's the second?

Wright disturbed and spoke to the second in a vegan tone.

The second, after a few seconds of silence, opens his mouth.

"Wright, you've been understudied."

"Is...?

Lack of study.Naturally. He hasn't been an emperor for five days.

"Cigarone, didn't you nibble?

"Ah... I was"

The second reading hit me.

Second, he remembered. When I met Nova as Seven in the ruins of the desert.

The credibility that was not gained as Seven of the Marvel Empire was gained the moment it turned out to be the Second First Test. That is to say, the idea of a second, that if there were one or all of the heavyweights in the country who could put those letters, they would be able to have good diplomacy.

Exactly, the situation now. Mine and Wright have no trust in each other. But between Mine and Second, Wright and Second, there's credibility.

In other words... through the second, the Kingdom of Castar and the Marvel Empire forge good relations.

As in Nova's time, we need to be the bridge (...).

Maybe that's why Cigarone set up the second to be present.

"It's not about the amount or anything. Keep showing it with your attitude for a while. Then I'm sure Mine will walk over, too."

"... well, if you say so, I believe"

A second to talk to the lights, with an undressed word on your teeth.

Then I'll also head over to Mine.

"Mine. Wright doesn't want to sell fights, he wants to get along. I'm just not doing well on the Emperor's fifth day. I need you to understand."

"... yeah. If Mr. Second says so, I believe you."

Mine stunnedly believed the second word.

The relationship of trust between the two is not Dada.

There is a strength that is not utilized by anyone, a man who always has himself and who at all times is natural. For Mine and Wright, he was such a man that even if everything in the world turned to the enemy, believing in him would give him an instant answer.

"Sa, he's a boulder, a knight chief......! I am heartily impressed with this Olympia!

When will we do it, and the four of us will have a normal heart again?

No one blames Olympia for making too much noise of gratitude.

"Klaus, that's enough."

In keeping with that, Mine lifted Klaus' ban.

Klaus meditates, takes a slow, deep breath and calms his mind before opening his mouth.

"It's a little early, but let's have a luncheon"

swallowed every word, and the word that came out was it.

Second, look at Klaus and laugh nicely.

Klaus seemed to laugh with the joy that it would simply be on the meal, kind of freaking out and laughing to be followed.

"I promise to have my sword taught straight away."

"I taught the Knight Chief my bowing skills"

"I also promised to officially be an apprentice."

"Wow, me too, you invited me to the title fight"

"Wow. I'm gonna have my next title fight, too."

"Wow, I..."

Early noon mesh started and it's time for an hour.

What a luxurious feeling to drink from noon on. It is also the seat of a luxury kiosk in Wangdu, listening to the river spiral, eating tempura soba. This is awesome.

However, because of too much booze, Klaus and Olympia are starting a mysterious mount match.

For some reason, the parental density with me seems to be the standard for the mount, but I don't know what the drunk is thinking.

"Huh, we'll see. The escort is busy. That's what I was before. But not next time."

"... Kuh"

"It's about competing in the title game if you envy me. But don't feel half-baked. Because the technology of the Second Eight Crowns is not meant for escort."

Klaus smiled to provoke Olympia by saying so, and he glanced at me slightly and gave me a small glance to the point where no one would notice.

Hmm, that helps. Even though I'm busy escorting Wright, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like him to compete in Olympia. Klaus is taking good care of my intentions while I'm drunk.

I just don't want you to be chronic. Because Klaus wins in the mount match, but Olympia wins better in simple strength.

"... mmm..."

and that's where the lights leaked their voices low.

For over thirty minutes now, Wright has been sleeping with my knee in his pillow, snorting "Supi, Supi".

This guy seemed very vulnerable to alcohol, and from the time he took a sip he started laughing at the pieces, his eyes sat down for a while and his body touch became intense, and then after a few minutes he turned into an "alien by feeding him". When I was dating such a sweetheart, I suddenly thought my eyes were trolling, and I snuck off and started rowing the boat, finally falling asleep on people's knees on my own.

"You're trusted, aren't you?"

"Well, it's been a long month."

As it turns out, I've been talking to Mine.

The two of us have been talking for so long since we were in magic school.

"I'm shorter."

"To?"

"I'm shorter"

"What? Hair?"

"No, I got along better with Mr. Second in a shorter period than he did"

"Oh, I don't know what that means"

Sure. That was two weeks with Mine.

... So, what is that?

"I was denser."

"Huh? Yeah, maybe."

"But it's sloppy. If I'd been with you for a month or so, I'd be more..."

"Did you get intimate? No."

"Hey, why!

"Because I'm in a game with you. There's no more intense contact."

"... Ha ha"

Oh, no way. I was going to tell you the story, but Mine made his cheeks slightly red and scratched behind his pompous ears.

If they react like that, they'll embarrass me too.

"Eh heh, I think I'm getting drunk. I have work to do after this, but I'm in trouble..."

Mine fluttered closer to me, and as he formed opposite the light, he quickly shifted Light's head just a little to clear space on my lap and gently put his own head on there.

Oh, my God, he looked bare, and Mine seemed drunk.

I thought I'd become a fine king to be jealous compared to Wright and myself, but some of them are just kids.

Hiragana and Klaus look at this side with something to say, and then silently point to the soba monkey (...).

A replacement? I don't want it. I don't want it. As I shook my head to the side, Klaus returned to conversation with Olympia.

"Oh man..."

When I emptied my glass of booze and fell on my back to the sitting area, I closed my eyes.

As the crisp winds of summer stroke their cheeks, drowsiness gradually comes.

Is it a bedtime speech between the two of you? "Mr. Second," "On top of my brother," I heard a small voice.

A leg that has gradually become paralyzed with gin. It was kind of funny to think that this was the weight of the Castal Kingdom and the Marvel Empire.
