To write an adventure story about Duke Carpeter’s experiences, I gathered the necessary people.

First, we invited the two writers who will be in charge of the ‘Adventure Story’ in the future.

” Author Homer! Are the results out?!”

“Haha! Of course I won, right?”

Han Yohan and Hans decide to compete in an adventure game. The two’s adventure stories were selling like hotcakes along with ’15 Boys Adrift’ and ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’ thanks to the marketing of ‘planned publishing’.

Although it didn’t have the same response as the two classics, the results themselves were enough to say that they did well.

“Yes. Let me tell you the results first.”

“Yes!”

” Mr. Yohan. ”

“Yes!”

“Congratulations. You received a higher score, with an average score of 3.8 points.”

“Haha! I see!”

“Ugh─. Me, really? What is my score?”

“Hans, you are so ugly! Well, it was decided in the end!”

“Hans’ average score is 3.1 points.”

“That can’t be possible… .”

In fact, this was an unfavorable match for Hans. This is because ’15 Boys Adrift’ and ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’, which were published together, were works with overwhelming popularity.

Hans used the ‘revenge’ plot to gain popularity, but it actually became poisonous.

Of course, revenge was still an exciting and well-selling genre, but it was not as exciting as the world’s first ‘science fiction’ adventure story set on a submarine. Rather, it can be said that John’s choice to focus on historical works with a solid readership was the right one.

But the game was a game, and since they both agreed to this method, they had no choice but to accept the result.

“But what did you two say was the topic you were trying to determine through competition?”

“Of course─, ah.”

“Hey, John, why can’t you speak confidently? Not like a man.”

“… That, that.”

This time, Johan broke out in a cold sweat and averted his gaze, and Hans became more energetic.

This is because Hans argued that Homer’s ‘Father Brown’ was better, and John argued that Herodotus’ ‘Sherlock Holmes’ was better.

“John, do you think that Herodotus is a better mystery novel writer than me?”

“Ah, that’s– As far as ‘Sherlock Holmes’ is concerned, wouldn’t it have an influence on the grammar of the story called a mystery novel?”

“Huh, John. Didn’t you say that last time that Herodotus was the god of mystery novels?”

“Hans, if you lose, stay away!”

I burst into laughter as I watched the two people start bickering and fighting again.

and.

“In fact, what if the premise of the game was wrong from the beginning?”

“Yes?”

I took out the medicine I had prepared in advance and swallowed it in one go.

It was an antidote to Hyde’s medicine received from an alchemist. In the case of the princess, it is said that even if she drinks the antidote, it does not work because her ‘state as a woman’ has become a ‘normal state’ through ‘medicine that fixes the state’.

To be precise, did you say that it is a medicine that determines the condition?

Anyway, after drinking the antidote, I changed from the appearance of ‘Homer’ to my original self.

“Nice to meet you again. Mr. John. Mr. Hans.”

“Author Herodotus… ?”

He returned in the form of Herodotus.

The two people looked at me with an expression as if they were possessed by a ghost. hmm. Was the explanation too insufficient?

“I am Homer and Herodotus. So, the premise of that argument was wrong from the beginning.”

In fact, it is a novel by ‘Conan Doyle’ and ‘Chesterton’… .

Anyway, that is a fact that no one but me can know, so it is out of the question.

“So, why don’t we call it a draw this time?”

I like both.

.

.

.

It was 30 minutes later that the two came to their senses.

“I never thought that the author of Homer was also the author of Herodotus… .”

“If it becomes known, there will be an uproar, so please keep it a secret.”

“Of course! Hans there you are! Be careful not to get the author of Homer in trouble by talking nonsense like you always do in a bar!”

“Huh? Johan, be careful! Don’t act like you normally do at social gatherings and then end up saying everything you can’t say!”

“This bastard?! Have I said everything now?!”

“Do you think it can’t be done any more?!”

I don’t know why we fight like this.

I guess it’s because we’re friends. maybe.

They have the same hobby as reading, both have a talent for writing, and being friends who can talk about their tastes is quite precious.

I had a few friends like that too.

Zion was like that, President Kindersley was like that, and Princess Is was like that. and… hmm. I think I had another friend who I talked about books with when I was young. Who was it?

Anyway, the two people are probably so close that they fight like that.

“Both of you, calm down. The reason I revealed my identity to these two people was because I wanted to ask them to write an ‘adventure story’.”

“Adventure story… What do you mean?”

“Yes. Both of you are very excellent writers.”

“Thank you… Don’t we fall short compared to the writer Homer?”

“No.”

This wasn’t something I could do.

What I’m trying to do is… It is an ‘expansion of world view’ to develop the world’s culture from a more fundamental point. And it must be done by the people of this world.

I am simply a plagiarist writer. Actually, this part is a bit bigger.

“This is something that only the two of you can do.”

Johan is good at bringing out minor details and the atmosphere of the background, and Hans has a knack for telling an interesting story centered on the main character.

If the two of them made an adventure story together, something interesting would definitely come out.

.

.

.

To ensure smooth writing activities for the two of them, I promised to provide ‘the greatest support’ I could.

It is a type of reporting support.

In the name of Herodotus, it was possible to seek advice from the chief wizard of the Gray Magic Tower and to report on ‘forbidden’ matters that were restricted to all but priests under the authority of the Venerable.

However, the core of it was the memoir that recorded Duke Carpeter’s testimony.

“Oh my… Was there really such a thing as a world tree? Not that I doubt it, but this is too… Isn’t it ridiculously huge? The head wizard of the Magic Tower also said it was impossible.”

“Okay. Duke Carpeter may have lied.”

“Hmm, I don’t really understand the concept of the cavity at this pole.”

“They said there were no Nazis.”

“Yes?”

After many efforts, little by little, the adventure story was completed.

“Writer Homer. What would you say is the title of the novel?”

“You two have to decide. Because it’s a novel written by two people.”

“Ah, that is─. Um, Hans, what title do you think would be good?”

“Of course, isn’t it a record of world experiences?”

“That doesn’t sound like a fun title… . In my opinion, you have no sense either.”

“What?”

“So, let’s think about it a little more together. Well, intuitively, what about the adventures of Duke Carpeter?”

“I’m sure the author will allow Youngji’s name to be included in the title of the book.”

“Ugh─. Well, that’s not true.”

In the process of completing the book, the two clashed and argued several times.

Now we are starting to give in to each other little by little.

After several exchanges of opinions, the title of the book was decided.

” Author Homer! Here is the completed manuscript!”

“Yes. I’m thinking of publishing it with Kindersley Publishing. Is that okay with you?”

“Yes! Thank you very much!”

“Please take care of me.”

[The Adventures of the Duke of Bluff]

[Author: Johannes (Johan, Hans)]

The adventures of the swashbuckling duke.

The adventure, full of incredible stories, was published in the Empire.

.

.

.

Johannes’ collaboration, ‘The Adventures of the Duke of Humbug’, did not attract much attention at first.

During the ‘adventure planning publication’, several readers who had read the couple’s previous works purchased the book.

“Haha, a 30,000 km long tree, there is no way something like this exists.”

” In Johan Lee’s previous works, he seems to have written works that were quite faithful to actual history, but this work is so absurd.”

“The title says it’s a bluff, so isn’t it meant to be a Don Quixote-like attempt?”

“Maybe so. Hmm, it’s still fun. Now that I’m home, I have to read this book today.”

However, it did not receive very good reviews.

At best, it was evaluated as an imitation of Don Quixote.

[The adventure story was written based on the actual experiences of ‘Duke Carpeter.’ The regions, cultures, and races that appear in the story are all realistic.]

[‘Homer’ and ‘Herodotus’ guarantee the above fact.]

“What?”

Until it turns out that this story is entirely based on real experiences.

Of course, just because the author claims it is a true story does not mean it is truly a true story. In most adventure stories, there was a strong mixture of bragging and exaggeration.

However, if it was ‘Homer’ and ‘Herodotus’ that guaranteed it, the story was different.

“This… Is it true?”

“This is not trueaaaa—!”

doubt. question. distrust. outside.

Even those who did not want to believe it had no choice but to admit it after consulting Kindersley Publishing.

and.

“Build a boat! A huge ship that can go to the center of the world! Ask for help from the Gray Magic Tower and the Blue Magic Tower! It doesn’t matter how much money it costs!”

“Call merchants and sailors skilled in ocean navigation! We are going to the open sea!”

The adventure has begun.

An adventure into a wider world.

“Father… What are you doing… .”

And Andy’s son, Anthony, the Duke of Carpeter, who is working hard at the Carpeter estate, pulled out his hair after reading the book.

I would rather jump on the trend and go on an adventure. Then your head will hurt less… .

“Mr. Youngju! These are the documents you need to check today! I’ve categorized things that just require a signature, but just in case, please check these yourself before signing! And these are documents sent from Oheni, Proshell, Provia, Kahen, and Le Puet, respectively!”

“Can’t I just hit Youngju’s deputy?”

“No!”

“Yes… .”
