In the end, the meeting ended without any conclusion. So, after the party members were dismissed, a messenger from the King who had been waiting asked them to attend a party after the ceremony.

After politely telling the King that he was refusing despite my repeated requests, I went for a walk in the garden to cool my head.

When I felt that they were approaching from all sides, trying not to leave me alone on a day like this, I quickly evaded them using the sensing ability I had developed in the Demon King’s Castle.

It was funny to see why he used his abilities in friendly territory instead of enemy territory.

I agreed, concluding that I would soon become a celebrity.

What about celebrities?

He shook his head, still not used to being in the spotlight. To be honest, I thought that being a warrior wasn’t such a good job.

Even though I was summoned by chance and given a contract to destroy the Demon King, I had no choice, but the difference between what I saw in novels and doing it in real life was clear.

Still, I thought it was really fortunate that we defeated that demon king.

If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have been able to return to Earth, and I wouldn’t have even been able to tell my family that I was dead in this isolated world. Even though I left a message before entering the summoning portal, thinking it was a tower climbing awakening, and that I would be back shortly.

I’m still dying here, but what I can still be positive about is that the beings of this world trust me. I’m truly relieved that I’m not in a party where I’m rejected no matter how active I am, like a god who suddenly hits me in the back of the head.

The ceremony is in three days, and the meeting is in a week. It’s too late.

I was walking around with my hands clasped behind my head, but I felt a strong energy and gave up trying to hide it or run away.

“Hero!!”

A presence that radiates here and there with a deep resonance.

It wouldn’t be polite to hide when you’re looking for me like this.

“Oh my, Your Majesty… .”

I should have told him to speak comfortably, but since he is old and the highest person in the country, I couldn’t help but say “Oh my.”

It’s fortunate that you didn’t mumble and ask, “Why did you come all this way?”

At first, we were going to address him as King or His Majesty the King, but we decided to just call him King. We said that if it was difficult to call him by his name, or if it was just King, it would be okay, but it wasn’t easy to talk to the mature and strong King, unlike the younger prince.

In fact, it was socially acceptable to use polite language when meeting someone for the first time.

“Are you resting comfortably?”

Besides, since you treated me like this just because I’m a warrior, I have no choice but to be polite.

“Thanks to the King’s consideration, I am resting well. It’s to the point where I wonder if it’s okay for a warrior like me to rest like this.”

“What are you talking about, warrior? You have already accomplished the great feat of destroying the Demon King. Who could carelessly interfere with such a warrior? Moreover, you could have returned home right away, but you stayed for my daughter. How sacred! ”

“To be exact, the party members stayed because it was dangerous. By the way, it seems like it was just yesterday that we last met. Is it okay for us to meet like this often?”

“Of course not. The only ones who can interfere with me are the gods, the warriors, and my wife.”

I saw that he was going to continue praising her like a prince, so I cut him off a bit. I also felt that it might lead to another marriage proposal with Mioch, so I hurried the conversation a bit.

“Ahem, I guess even the King can’t do anything to the Queen?”

The only person who could communicate well with the king was a married man who was a prisoner.

Even though the King and the Princess are adults of marriageable age, and my child is just starting to walk, their experiences are different.

“Isn’t that all because you love your wife? I heard that you, like me, only have one wife.”

“That’s right. Where I live, that’s normal. That’s why I find it surprising that the King only has one queen.”

As is often the case in fantasy worlds, especially in this world, the fact that a nobleman married only one person was enough to earn them the nickname of “lovebird couple.”

Since the king is of warrior blood, he may be praised for his womanizing rather than being criticized for having multiple wives, as the saying goes, “heroic lover.”

In a medieval fantasy world where even noblemen were expected to have illegitimate children, a king was considered a truly upright and noble person.

He took care of the people by making efforts to eliminate corruption. He formed an alliance to prevent foreign invasion. He even received positive evaluations in state affairs.

However, it is regrettable that the chaos in other countries is further highlighted because of these heroes.

Miochido must be having a hard time too.

I know my own country will handle it well, but even though the difference in power is clear, I don’t interfere in any way, let alone being a vassal state, so the surrounding areas are a bit at a loss.

Mioch was about to step forward to resolve this, but coincidentally the Demon King’s army invaded and he ended up leading the allied forces.

Now, Miocchi will step forward again to stabilize the surroundings.

I was very curious to know whether he would suppress it with force or rule it with wisdom, but I personally felt it was a shame that I had to return to Earth and could not find out about Mioch’s activities.

“Aren’t you the hero who saved the world? Please don’t decline, because you will be shabby compared to a mere king.”

That one king, who was at the top among his fellow men, acted very carefreely.

Although he was inferior to Mioch in terms of military power, it was difficult to deny that he was one of the strongest men on the continent.

“Hahaha.”

But what do you mean by specifications?

It’s like that everywhere, but the more I deal with people, the more they tend to beat around the bush and express themselves in a way that makes it hard to know what they mean, so I just guessed. But when I saw them praise me, I just laughed it off because it was a compliment.

“If there is anything that Mioch lacks… .”

…Why is Mioch being mentioned here?

“No, Mioch is a fine enough princess. Even though I have not learned the etiquette of a noble, I can be certain that Mioch behaves and acts with honorable attitude befitting her status.”

“Oh! A proof of the warrior, really. As a father with a daughter who is lacking, I don’t think there is a greater compliment than this.”

“Hahahaha.”

“Hehehehe.”

I want this to be awkward.

“Then, warrior. What kind of woman do you like?”

“Write… .”

I had a hunch, and it was as expected.

It seemed like he was trying to change the plan to find out what I like, since it was no use trying to keep Miochi. I think he had a similar conversation with the prince, and somehow the father and son acted exactly the same.

“You know very well what I don’t want to say.”

“I see? That’s too bad.”

“I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have a secret… A fox-like wife who will be waiting for me on Earth.”

I thought it would be better if we went somewhere else to talk about this.

As expected, talking to people of higher rank is annoying in many ways.

“That’s right. If a man like you were your husband, what woman wouldn’t do that? If you were like that, I think I should just give up on this body.”

“Hahaha, that’s nice to hear.”

“Hehehe, is that so?”

You’re lying. Is this it? A political investigation? Something like North Korea’s deception policy?

“Is this the end of our business, Your Majesty?”

“Unfortunately, there is one more thing left for you, sir. Would you please listen to it?”

“Yes, you can.”

As the conversation was getting boring, I hinted at wanting to break up, but he said not yet.

“Then let me get straight to the point, warrior. Can you attend this party?”

“… Is this a party where I absolutely have to be?”

“Of course. It’s a party held to commemorate the demise of the Demon King and to pray for peace in the future. It’s absurd that the hero, the main character, is not attending.”

“That’s nonsense… .”

The reason I hesitated for a moment to persuade the King was not because it seemed plausible, but because I felt that the translation performance that I received as a special privilege upon being summoned was truly amazing.

“I won’t tell you to come naked. I heard you’re having a meeting with others a week later, right?”

When meeting with them, I told Miochi to get rid of all the servants, but I didn’t use soundproofing magic, so it wouldn’t have been strange if someone had overheard.

Or maybe Miocchi told the king himself.

“Yes.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll lend you the meeting place and staff.”

“… Hmm.”

The King’s sudden proposal. If possible, I wanted to discuss it with the party members before making a decision, but since today was the first meeting to be postponed, it was uncertain whether a decision would be made in a week.

“It’s difficult to talk about it right now. Can you make a decision by tomorrow?”

When I was asked a question that was difficult to answer on my own, it was best to put it off for a while and think about it.

Whether you like it or not, it’s rude to reject someone right in front of them. Unless it’s positive, it’s good to have some time to think about it, and it’s not just your problem.

“If you could do that, I would appreciate it, warrior.”

Fortunately, the king was a man of common sense, so he nodded and went back.

“Ugh… .”

Can a king do that?

The party was the evening after the ceremony, so I could let them know tomorrow, but I didn’t feel very good about dragging out an answer from someone of such high status.

**(Separate table for location change)

It is a meeting that will decide the next steps of the warrior party.

I postponed it for a week and decided to take a walk in the garden to enjoy the remaining freedom.

My mind was tired from running into the king in the palace. I postponed my plan to go into the city to change my mood until tomorrow and quietly returned to the guest room.

“What should I do… .”

I escaped under the pretense of talking to the party members, but in reality, they would have understood even if I had made the decision on my own.

Mioch is a member of the royal family, so he was the one who first suggested it, and Millet must have agreed to attend, saying that since he is now a powerful figure in the demon world, he should get along well with humans.

Only Amijel was restless and secretly relieved when I told him I wouldn’t attend.

To be honest, I wanted to attend if possible because it was a place where I could taste some decent food in a medieval fantasy world, but I had to deal with a noble who wanted to have a brief conversation with this warrior, so it was obvious that I wouldn’t have a chance to eat.

But since I had decided to ask, I asked the messenger to tell the girls in each room, “The King ” will attend the party, and I will lend you the meeting place and staff for a week. What do you think?” ”

“Did you hear? Have a nice trip.”

“… Yes.”

Nod

Lightly, lightly

hmm-?

When I opened the door and spoke to the two maids I encountered, they told me to go and do it again.

I think it would be better if the two of them went together, but in reality, it’s just the senior taking advantage of the junior.

Or maybe he stayed to wait on me.

“Hey, if you have any business, I’ll ring the bell, so go back and rest.”

I’m not their employee, I’m just a customer, so what can I say? That’s why I told them to go back.

“It’s okay, warrior. Would you please give me the honor of relieving your hardship?”

“… It’s really okay.”

Why on earth is the warrior making such a fuss? When he uses such nonsense, it makes me feel embarrassed rather than proud.

“No, my lord. It was a great fortune for me, a girl who was a wanderer on the streets, to become a maid who could serve the Merkirena royal family. I am so humble that I can serve by your side, my lord. So please, please take pity on my request and let me assist you, my lord.”

Even when someone suddenly told me their story, I was at a loss as to how to react.

“No, I… .”

I was about to say that he wasn’t that great of a person, but I bit my lip for fear of acting violently instead.

“Is it because I am lacking, warrior? If so, please tell me without holding back! I will try to fix it right here and right now.”

“Wait a minute. Why are you suddenly like this?”

The servants of the kingdom were relatively well-mannered, but the maid in front of me was a bit unusual.

As if he had been waiting for this moment when it would be just the two of them.

“Ah, I’m sorry, warrior. I can’t help but feel like I’m seeing the face of the warrior I’ve always dreamed of up close… .”

Even though I blushed and covered my face with my fingertips, it was still awkward. When I heard her, I couldn’t tell if she was a commoner or a commoner, but since she was from that class, I could understand why she was acting that way.

I didn’t know this until I was summoned here, but maids and butlers of prestigious families are high-class jobs that are mainly held by children of noble families.

It was an outstanding profession that even had professional tutoring and training at separate training institutions, so if an ordinary person could become a maid, it was definitely a success.

That’s why he’s reacting so agitatedly.

“Calm down. If something comes up, I’ll call you later, so go in and rest for now.”

He sent the maid away, feeling sorry and at a loss.

“Ah… I understand, warrior.”

If you’re so blatantly disappointed, I’ll feel bad about it.

“Sigh.”

Even when I was wandering around defeating the Demon King, I would rest in the noble territory and the maid would do that. I was relieved that this was a palace full of noble children, but after a long time, I was a little flustered when I encountered this situation.

“Oh my.”

I may have been overreacting, but I couldn’t let my guard down here because there were so many cases of people shamelessly taking off their clothes to nobles in order to rise in social status.

I definitely have to go downtown tomorrow.

It’s not like I have no sexual desire at all, so it was really sad that I had to make all sorts of preparations to solve it on my own.

I can’t even enjoy happy hour with peace of mind.

“Damn it… .”

Moreover, I had to be even more careful because there was a history of leaving traces here and then he persistently insisting on solving the problem.

It seems like he no longer believes the lie that his libido was reduced when he was summoned, and he really didn’t want me to learn soundproofing and cleaning magic just to hit his daughter…

“Once you return to Earth, it’s a mandatory attack.”

Someday I might change the name to defensive warfare, but for now, I really missed the arms of my wife, who was like a lioness.
