After the shocking appointment of a hero, the king promised unprecedented support to the point where one might wonder if the pillars of the royal palace were being uprooted.

The biggest support among them, no matter what anyone said, was completely opening up the treasure trove to us.

What a great treasure trove. Isn’t this a place where there are so many great items that just getting one can enrich your gameplay?

​

Since it was such good support, I thought, ‘Who is against this?’ The thought occurred to me, but…

-Roaring.

-No matter what, the national status…

-What does the blessing of the Lord have to do with the destruction of the kingdom? Your Majesty is 100% right.

-Has Your Majesty ever made a wrong decision? Let’s believe this time too.

‘… ‘There’s not a single person against it?’

Surprisingly, none of the nobles objected and all just nodded.

There is trust that comes from the king’s track record so far, and more than anything, her words, ‘If this hero party fails, the kingdom will fall,’ seem to have resonated with everyone.

‘I can’t believe how bad the war situation is.’

“It appears that no one is objecting, so I will pay it right away. Elizabeth, warrior. Follow. Arthur too.”

“Okay!”

anyway. Afterwards, the King personally guided us to the treasury.

-Jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump.

“The finest horse in the kingdom, a servant to help with chores… Are you saying that he will even provide the kingdom’s greatest sword, Sir Arthur, as a guard?”

“Okay. It’s a minor thing compared to taking out weapons from a treasure trove, but it will be a big help on your journey.”

‘This is a romantic JRPG-style adventure… ?’

As a bonus, he explained some of the hero party support measures he had prepared along the way.

Contrary to what I had expected, the story of going to the mountain gradually became more distant, but it seemed to sound a little different to other people.

“As expected, you are the king! Since the angel is a thin man, I was always worried about whether he would be able to endure the difficult journey, but I never thought he would have arranged everything in advance!”

“… Oh my, I don’t believe you’re doing this out of personal malice toward the hero.”

“Puhup. Elizabeth, it is truly a pleasure for you to play games like this.”

Arthur is admiring with an expression that makes it seem like if he had a tail, it would be wagging it vigorously.

On the contrary, Elizabeth looked a little shocked and said something out of the ordinary, like she was being mean or something.

The king thought it was a joke and laughed it off…

-Kkook. Whisper.

“… Hero, didn’t Mama say something strange to you in the throne room just now? If anything happens, tell me right away.”

‘I don’t think it’s a joke?’

Judging by the way he quickly whispered to me behind him, it seemed like he was definitely not joking.

… I barely suppressed the sigh of overprotection.

-Whispering.

“Her Majesty was just worried about Elizabeth’s safety.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I answered that it would be okay as I would continue to be by Elizabeth’s side.”

“… … Phew. continue? Hehehehe. Even the warrior is true.”

After telling her that she was still anxious earlier, I dismissed it by saying, ‘I didn’t say that, so don’t worry.’

As I was staring at Mummumi’s strange gaze, thinking to myself, ‘What are you looking at, this thing that looks like a clam cake?’, we had already arrived in the royal basement.

“Elizabeth, you open it.”

“Yes.”

As she reached the huge door guarded by strict guards, Elizabeth naturally took the key and walked out.

As if there had been some kind of magical treatment, when the key was inserted into the hole, the engravings at the entrance began to glow dazzlingly.

And then, after a while.

The door to the treasure room was wide open.

-Squeak.

‘Woah, this is the treasure trove…’ ?’

“Please bring everything you need. Arthur, choose the right weapons for Elizabeth.”

“Okay!!”

Perhaps he thought that we would notice if he followed us, so he pushed us into the treasury alone.

Arthur, I, and Elizabeth nodded once and slowly headed inside…

———And then, my eyes widened.

“Elizabeth, you can really use all of these… ?”

“Of course. Mama Mama said it in her own name. where… Arthur, do you have anything you can use as a shield?”

“Mmm. Ah, this looks good.”

“… … … !!!!?”

‘No, Ajax’s shield is rolling around from the entrance. After all, it’s a treasure trove… !!’

A treasure trove where weapons worth tens of millions of points are displayed carelessly at the point shop.

Even I, a person with a lot of knowledge, have never collected this many items in one board…

Can I use all of this? Is this the balance?

It was so absurd that I almost burst into laughter.

‘Still, you should be grateful for what you get. cancer. … ‘I don’t really have anything to write about, though.’

Of course, I can summon more items than these with the ‘Blessing of Vulcan’ armor, and most of the armor cannot be worn due to ability limit, so there was nothing to salvage from the treasure…

Actually, there were no major complaints. In the first place, chefs are an occupation with zero dependence on equipment.

“What shouldn’t a hero take?”

“Yes. These are things I don’t need.”

“… As expected, you are amazing. If you’re an average person, you’ll first pick up something you don’t use.”

“You’re so shameless, you’re an angel!! I respect you!!”

‘No, I really don’t need it.’

They must have been mistaken when they saw that I wasn’t picking up anything, but their gazes were filled with admiration.

Why did I want to do something like that?

“It came out quickly… hmm? Warrior. Why didn’t you take anything?”

“God has already given me everything I need.”

“Huh… … He’s good at cooking, he looks good, he’s hardworking, and he’s not even greedy. How can there be such a true groom?”

‘… It’s because I really don’t need it, but why is everyone misunderstanding it?’

After picking out all of Elizabeth’s weapons, the King seemed to have a similar reaction, so it seems like I was the one who was unusual.

When I gave her a puzzled look, wondering if it was natural not to touch something that wasn’t necessary, her expression widened even further.

“Really, the Lord gave us an angel.”

‘… And now even the king can’t bear it!?’

“My wife, she is not an angel, but merely an apostle of the Lord. So please don’t call me that. I’m embarrassed.”

“Puhup. Even to be humble. Cute.”

‘You’re not even listening to me, really!!’

… Even though, unlike her, my insides were completely black.

“Then… If you need anything, let me know anytime. I will give anything I can.”

“… Oh my, you’re not fooling around, are you?”

“Puhaha! I never thought Elizabeth would be this good at pranks. I never dreamed.”

“I can’t believe that Her Majesty the Princess has become so bright. Hohenstein’s future is very bright!”

‘You don’t think that’s a joke?’

The three of us were talking to each other about the day I was blushing and holding my face.

Just like that, the day of the warrior appointment ceremony came to an end.

It was a few days before we left on our adventure.

* * * * * *

… And, I spent three more days at the palace.

Originally, I thought I would be able to go on an adventure right after summoning the hero, but it was delayed a bit because the other heroes except Elizabeth were far away.

‘If only a hero had been brought, this is dark news.’

Of course, the royal family tried to summon the warriors by mobilizing all their diplomatic power over the past three days…

It is said that both the elves and the beastman alliance failed because they did not receive any communication from the kingdom.

Even so, since Nordkirchen was a communist country, Elizabeth’s lament that she didn’t know why even sub-races did that was a bonus.

The king sent an elite army called an envoy to bring him back by force, so he told them to wait a little while…

If that happens, they say you will have to stay in the palace for at least two months, not just a day or two.

‘Three days were boring, but I can’t believe I waited at least two more months. There’s no way that could be possible.’

So, I asked for Elizabeth’s understanding and declared that I would personally travel around the world and gather warriors.

It’s like you’ve taken it upon yourself to be a JRPG-specific, vicious world map hit-and-run, but you had to level Elizabeth anyway.

… So, this morning, it has been 10 days since I became possessed in the ‘Dungeon Princess’ world.

I woke up in a separate room that I had become accustomed to, and smiled brightly under the shining sunlight.

“Hehehe… Finally, finally… … !!”

-Badulbadeul.

When I think about what day today is, I can’t help but laugh.

I gave myself over to the rising adrenaline.

“The tutorial is finally over!!!”

– Slurp, slurp.

“This is it!!!”

-mum… ? Mrrrr… .

I was sitting on the bed, jumping up and down in place to express my joy.

My happiness grew even more as I started singing three cheers and shaking my head.

I feel sorry for Mummumi who woke up while sleeping in the corner of the room…

In a harsh world, wouldn’t life be delicious if we could express joy in this way?

“Poppy, today is the day you finally go on an adventure! Are you excited?”

-mum… .

okay. Today is the day to finally gather the scattered warriors and set off on a journey to defeat the Demon King.

In other words, the day when the game begins in earnest.

“It’s going to be so, so fun!!!”

-Stop!

I made a fuss at the thought of putting my deceptive cooking skills, which had been a little less spicy since the first day, back into play.

-Roaring.

“Hero, this is… ?”

‘Oh my god, even with my cooking skills, this is a bit tough…’ ?’

———If I had known that I would have to write something as soon as I left the palace, I would never have lost energy in the morning like that.
