"Well, how was the meeting? I didn't see any malice in him. Well, I tried to be polite, but I didn't sense any respect or fear for the royal family.

I was impressed by the way he sometimes looked like he was in trouble in front of me, the king.

"It was possible to cut him at that distance. Even though it was in the interest of the country, shouldn't we have cut down the dangerous elements who refused to obey us?

"I would say so, but Barotta stopped him so long. I would say so, but Barotta stopped him so long that we can't afford to take any chances.

Yuta comes into the room and looks at Barotta, who has remained blue-faced ever since. She must have caught something with her psychic senses that we don't know.

"Knight Commander Razal. Two spirits were waiting by Yuta's side. They are much more powerful than my spirits. It is too dangerous to touch them.

"You say so, but he was an amateur. I know that a good spiritualist can use great power, but it would have been easy to dispose of him if we had approached him."

"Yuta-dono is an adventurer who dives into the labyrinth alone. If he cannot handle close combat, he will not survive. If you fail, the power to kill a fire dragon with a single blow will be turned against you. I am absolutely against you touching Yuta-dono.

"That may be so, but it would have been possible if we had dropped him in a pit. If you were caught in a trap, you would not be able to avoid it with your body movements, nor would you be able to chant in time.

"Yuta-dono can remotely escort his apprentice. There is a story that he prevented a surprise attack by an assassin by growing a plant in an instant. There is a high possibility that he can use spirit techniques that we do not know. If we fail, there is a possibility that King's Landing will be ruined. It is too risky to take the chance.

You said the same thing when we discussed the news of Yuta's arrival, but I wonder if our opinions have not changed even after seeing him in person.

"Well, what did you see? Did you use your skills?"

"Well, ...... I'd say it's a monster, to put it simply."

"A monster?"

The head of the court magician is a monster.

Or a fraud of the highest order.

I don't understand. Tell me what it means.

I understand. Take a look at this. It's a transcript of my evaluation of that necromancer. 

Name Yuta Morizono

Level 152

Strength S  

Magic A

Power A

Intelligence B

Dexterity S

Luck B

Skills

Life Magic

Hammering

Sawing

night vision

"Sure it's a high level, but it doesn't have much skill. ...... Is this enough to defeat a fire dragon? Wasn't the average level of the heroes in the low 200s? And what's the sawing technique?"

"That's right. Although his appraisal does not give us any insight into his unique skills, he is clearly not strong enough to defeat the Fire Dragon. Then, it is possible that he has disguised his status, or he has powerful unique skills and can control the spirits he is following at will, or there is another person who really defeated the Fire Dragon. Of course, he has two spirits with him, which makes Lady Barotta pale. It is reasonable to assume the first two. And the sawing technique doesn't make sense to me.

"So, a monster or an impostor. Barotta, if you had your contracted spirits at your disposal, what could you do?"

"...... can drop a small country."

"You said that Yuta's contracted spirits are far more powerful than your contracted spirits?"

"Definitely better. It would be like comparing a slime to a dragon. ......"

Barotta is one of our country's top spiritualists. His contracted spirits are naturally powerful as well. If he is a slime, or if the old man is right, it's not so funny, is it?

You said it could be an impostor. But even if he is a fraud, there is no doubt that he is connected to the one who can defeat the Fire Dragon. No, he slayed a fire dragon with a single blow in front of other adventurers. There must be some secret to it.

"We should send out a notice again. Anyone who interferes with Yuta will be punished. The loss of his title, or even his death."

What about the army? The Marquises of Galli are clamoring that the necromancer should be restrained.

No. Even the Marquise de Galli will not be tolerated. Tell them that. Do not let the work of your predecessors be in vain.

My predecessors saved my life and my country, but I will not let them destroy it. He has grown a little too strong, and I should give him a warning.

"Ha!"

I heard that the acting head of the Galli family wants to take over the title legitimately. I heard that he disappeared after Viscount Galli visited Yuta. ....... If he was killed, it would be natural for him to inherit the title, but it would be a good opportunity to reduce the Galli family's influence in the military. We should wait and see.

But his appearance has given our country an advantage over the others. We have an abundance of top-grade magic potions. A little recklessness is no longer recklessness. If the Marquis de Galli had been here, he'd have been clamoring for us to invade the enemy. If Yuta had followed him, we could have considered war with other countries, but we can't do that if we don't know where we stand.

From what I have seen, he is not attached to this country. I would like to take steps to prevent him from turning against us, but according to reports, he is a man who would even turn against the guild master if he did not like what he saw. If we make a move and make the relationship sour, it will be troublesome. My head is beginning to hurt.

"What are you doing?" Queue""Ohto hajimete""Koo koo""Hani ni asobuze""............"

Yuta has told Belle and her friends that they can go play in King's Landing, and they are discussing what to do as they float around.

"Yatai shirabesuru!"

Belle cheerfully raises her hand and proposes her hobby of visiting food stalls.

"Koo-koo-koo!"

"Does Tamamo look like a doll?"

"Cooooo!"

Tamamo nodded her head while her tail buzzed. It looks like it wants a tour of the castle.

"Play with me! Let's play with the big ogre!"

Flair suggests a game of tag.

Excited by their first visit to the capital, Belle and her friends have many things they want to do, and it is difficult for them to come to an agreement on what they want to do. They are having heated discussions as they propose their ideas one after another.

"First, let's check out the site. Then, we'll study the white space. After that, we'll play tag, okay?"

"No, cue, cue, coo-coo, cue, cue, cue!" ......"

Tulu summarized the opinions of the Belles and the others, and the Belles agreed energetically. They seemed to have decided on the first three suggestions. The other suggestions, such as hide-and-seek and a tour of the aristocratic families, would be put off until the next time.

"Well, Beru and Rein are going this way..." "Coo-coo-coo!"

"Me and Tamamo are going this way..." "Cooooooooo!"

"I'm going this way with Moo-ton!" ............"

First, the three groups, Belle and Rain, Tulu and Tamamo, and Flare and Moon, set out to explore the stalls of the Royal City.

**

"I want to eat this!"

"Cue cue."

Belle and Raine come to the food stall street on the west side of the city, peeking into the stalls one by one to check the food.

"There are so many I don't know!

"Cue."

The royal city gathers ingredients from all over the country, and there are many dishes that Belle has never seen before. Yuta's influence has also increased the number of new street food stalls in the labyrinth city, but they are still no match for the royal city.

"But, but, but, but, but..."

"Cue?"

Bell and his friends, who are enjoying looking at the many street food stalls, seem to be questioning the meat dishes being sold at the stalls.

Belle and Rain's question is quite understandable, as the meats used in the food stalls in the Royal Capital are basically purchased from the Labyrinth City. Except for stores with their own routes, the commercial guilds transport the meat in bulk and the culinary guilds distribute it.

The quality of meat used in food stalls is not as good as that of the food stalls in the labyrinth city, where fresh meat is procured directly from the labyrinth city at a lower price.

Meat tastes better when it is aged for a long time, but there are neither the facilities nor the manpower for stable aging. The story might change if Yuta remembers the existence of aged meat and asks for help from Marie and the Culinary Guild, but since he is satisfied with the delicious demon meat, this might not be very likely.

"Rein, it's fun!

"Cue."

Belle and Rain were concerned about the quality of the meat, but they seemed to agree that this was probably because it had not been that long since they had awakened to the pleasure of eating. The two of us playfully check out all the stalls.

"There are so many I want to eat!

"Cue."

"Yeah. I'll ask Yuta.

"Cue cue."

After checking the stalls, Belle wipes the sweat from her forehead in a gesture of satisfaction. Spirits do not sweat, so she must have learned from working with Yuta.

After visiting the stalls, Belle and the others meet up with the group above the royal city. Tulu and Tamamo's group. Flare and Moon's group also looked satisfied, so it must have been a success. Soon they all put their heads together and share the information about the food they have confirmed.

Although their speech is slurred, Bell and the others discuss with serious expressions on their faces. They check which of the dishes they have doubled up looks better, the one and only dish, the dish that looks outstandingly delicious, the stall that has many customers....

Bell and the others analyze the food stalls from various angles and decide which one to go with Yuta. The amount of information that Bell and his group gathered in a short period of time is surprisingly large, and if a map of stalls in Wangdu were created, it might have become a best-seller.

The problem is that they can't taste the food because they have only seen it and not eaten it. The fun-loving Belles will be interested in dishes that could be classified as sharp or ghetto.

"That's all right. Next time, push!"

Having shared the information about the food stalls, Bell and the others charge toward the castle where they are scheduled to go next, under the direction of Tulu.

The Belle and her friends are excitedly exploring the castle, flying in all directions. They enjoy every inch of the castle, including talking to the spirits of the contracted spirit sorcerers who serve the country, and even breaking into the royal family's private spaces and treasure room. After a fulfilling exploration, Belle and her friends realize a shocking fact.

"I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot...." ............"

It seemed to be quite a shock to him, since he had been ready to eat after checking the food stalls in the morning. The belles again put their heads together to discuss the situation.

Since they are spirits who do not need to eat, they conclude that they will be fed a lot at night, and decide to change their minds and play tag. However, it seems that the turnover rate of the ogres around the food stalls was abnormally high during the game of tag that took place all over the city.
