Act 4-56.6: Crossroad of Fate(Side: Somni Barrel)

Kai Heineman’s gift was 『The Most Incompetent in This World』. In short, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was the least talented human. And yet, the one the otherworldly beings kneeled to was none other than that Kai Heineman.

He swept his heavy gaze at the otherworldy beings kneeling before him and then turned around, speaking to the monocled woman behind him,

「Do we really need to gather all of them for this occasion?」

With a dumbfounded voice.

「It can’t be helped, the others are involved in this matter in some way or the other.」

「I see. I understand. Thank you for your hard work.」

The Otherworldy beings bowed down again upon hearing Kai Heineman’s praise. Amidst such a bizarre spectacle, He turned around to observe people whose figure covered by hoods behind him,

「It seems the freckles boy has yet to arrive. Make yourself at home while we wait for his arrival.」

Seeing the corner of Kai Heineman’s lips rose up upon saying,

「Y-Yes.」

When a woman with white hood took off her hood with a stiff smile on her face, the other hooded people followed the fashion. They were the figures that Somni familiar with,

「Inea-sama! Knight Leader Arnold!」

Somni unintentionally called out their name. His reaction was natural since these two figures were well known by any knight who took part in Babel’s entrance exam.

And the woman with ornamented white hood was none other than the grand headmaster of Babel, Inea Renren Lorelei. The blue-haired man with an unshaven beard and greatsword on his back was the strongest Amelia kingdom knight, who also acted as their leader, Arnold.

「Well then, let’s have some tea while we’re waiting.」

Kai Heineman urged everyone to sit on the long wooden table in the center of the room and then took a seat himself.

Though Somni ate some of the pastries prepared for the occasion, he couldn’t taste it properly since his mind was too tense. The sound of the cup placed on the plate was the only sound in that room.

In that situation which already resembled that of a gambling house, the front door opened again――

「Sorry for the delay. I’ve brought him.」

A two-metre tall, muscular man with wild a  face and pink haired girl entered the room, they brought a docile-looking boy with freckles on the base of his nose.

(Her Highness Rosemary!?)

There was no way Somni was going to mistake her beauty and pink-coloured hair for someone else. He knew immediately that the girl was princess Rosemary.

When he had yet to recover from that shock――

「We brought him, nodesu!」

「We brought him!」

『We brought him!』

When the silver-haired beastfolk girl and blonde-haired girl with monochrome attire rushed into the room along with the three, they rushed straight toward Kai Heineman, diving into his abdomen. A small, black puppy sitting on top of the blonde-haired girl jumped onto Kai Heineman’s chest and started to lick his face.

「Good job everyone. Look, we prepared sweets and tea, take a seat and indulge in these. We prepared hamburgers for you too, Fen.」

After Kai Heineman patted the head of two girls and one puppy, he told them to sit in the chair prepared beside him.

「YAAY, SWEET, NODESU!」

「Sweets! Sweets!」

『Hamburger!』

The two girls and one puppy sat planted in their seats and were about to dig in but,

「Don’t forget your manners.」

Kai Heineman remind them,

「Ye~s, nodesu!」

「Ye~s.」

『Ye~s, ye~s, ye~s!』

The two girls started eating with their knife and fork, the black puppy digging into the meat dish with his tail keep going round and round.

「Well then, let’s start the discussion.」

Kai Heineman confirmed everyone’s presence. The discussion that already went far and beyond the international level started for the first time for Somni.
