Superhuman Delusional – Are You Able to Live a Daily Life？ 488

Chapter 488 – Audience

◈

I’m entering the royal palace with Galph’s father.

Since King Yaseo only wants to meet me, my lovers are currently staying at Ms. Gracia’s mansion.

“Um… Father.”

“Here, call me Sir Linesalot. Land… Duke Trent.”

“Understood, Sir Linesalot.”

It seems my title has changed for official business.

It’s a shame.

“And don’t come any closer than that. My body reacts on its own.”

“Yes.”

Right now, I’m walking about 3 meters away from Father.

He says that if I get any closer, his body will move on its own and try to take a subservient pose.

To think that reaction would continue even after a day…

It seems my magic explosion left a significant aftereffect on Father’s body.

“Oh, son-in-law! You’ve arrived!”

While walking down a corridor in the royal palace with Galph’s father, I met Grapha’s father.

“Sir Grahwin, please observe decorum within the royal palace.”

“Ah, right, I should. Ahem. Duke Trent, welcome to the royal palace. King Yaseo is waiting, so I’ll accompany you.”

“Yes. Thank you, Sir Grahwin.”

“Hahaha! It feels awkward to hear that from my son-in-law… no, Duke Trent!”

Galph’s father still kept 3 meters away from me, and Grapha’s father walked about 3 meters away from me as well to maintain balance.

As we walked, forming a triangle, a huge door with elaborate decorations came into view.

It was a massive door that clearly had the atmosphere of an audience chamber.

In front of the massive door stood two soldiers with thick arms, and as soon as they saw us, they shouted loudly.

“Sir Linesalot! Sir Grahwin! Dungeon Crasher Duke Trent has arrived!”

As soon as they shouted, the two soldiers simultaneously began to push open the massive door.

Creak, creak, creak.

The reason their arms were so thick was because they trained every day by opening that door.

Looking closely, their thighs were also incredibly thick.

As the door opened, another long corridor continued, with a carpet spread out on the floor.

Many soldiers were standing by against the walls around us.

At the end of the carpet, there were a total of eight knights from various races, divided into four on each side.

The shape and color of their armor were distinctly different from the ordinary soldiers and knights I had seen while coming to the royal palace, so I could guess that they were Knights of the Round Table like my fathers.

Further ahead than where the Knights of the Round Table were standing.

There were five steps, and on top of them was a single throne.

And sitting on that throne was a rabbit-eared Myoin, about the size of Tikia.

That person must be the king of Bridan.

King Yaseo.

Even though he was small, I could feel the majestic dignity of a king from King Yaseo on the throne.

While walking, my fathers stopped at the same time and knelt on one knee.

I also knelt, and Galph’s father opened his mouth.

“King Yaseo, I have brought Dungeon Crasher Trent.”

“Well done, Sir Linesalot, Sir Grahwin.”

King Yaseo’s voice, small in stature, was a voice like that of a boy.

“And Dungeon Crasher Trent. Thank you for answering my call. Now, everyone, please raise your heads.”

At King Yaseo’s words, my fathers and I stood up at the same time.

King Yaseo looked down at me from the throne and said.

“I apologize for calling you so suddenly. As a warrior, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of person the renowned Dungeon Crasher, the strongest in Pladan, was. But…”

King Yaseo smiled with interest and continued.

“To think you would be so young… and above all, such a powerful being. Hahahaha! It seems the rumors of Sir Grahwin being defeated in one blow were true.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty! Duke Trent, who has become the son-in-law of me and Sir Linesalot, is a man worthy of the title of the strongest!”

“To think such a strange connection would form between our Bridan and Pladan. The world is truly amazing.”

King Yaseo rose from the throne.

Then, he jumped with excellent leaping ability and instantly came right in front of me.

I immediately knelt on one knee to match King Yaseo’s eye level.

“Ah, thank you. Duke Trent, may I touch you?”

At the sudden question of whether he could touch me, I momentarily wondered if King Yaseo had homosexual tendencies, but looking at his eyes full of curiosity, I didn’t think that was the case.

“Yes.”

“Then, excuse me.”

King Yaseo briefly touched my cheeks with both hands, then patted my shoulders and arms with his palms.

After touching me enough, he took his hands off.

“Hahahahahahaha!!!”

He burst into loud laughter in front of me.

“I thought you were strong, but seeing you up close, it’s absurd. You’re truly a powerhouse beyond common sense.”

It seems that was King Yaseo’s way of checking my strength.

“Duke Trent, how old are you this year?”

“I’m 20 years old.”

“20 years old… Hahaha! You’re still so young! And yet, such strength! Perhaps you are the hero of this era! If I were to fight you, even I would be forced to submit…”

While King Yaseo was speaking, one of the knights standing in a row interrupted the king.

“Your Majesty.”

“Ah, I apologize, Sir Bodyvider. As a king, I must be careful with my words.”

Swoosh!

King Yaseo did a big backflip and landed precisely back on the throne.

“Thank you for coming, Duke Trent. According to Sir Grahwin, you plan to stay in Camel for six more days, is that correct?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then, how about participating in the martial arts tournament held at the arena in two days?”

“A martial arts tournament… you mean?”

“If it’s Duke Trent, you’ll surely win, so it might be boring. But in our Bridan, seeing the moment a strong person’s strength is revealed is the most valuable entertainment… and I also want to see your skills. Of course, you can refuse. This is not something I will force.”

A martial arts tournament…

The audience cheering for my overwhelming power, and me becoming the champion in the center of it all!

And my lovers rejoicing at my victory!

As I pictured that scene in my head, I felt like I wanted to participate even if King Yaseo hadn’t asked.

Besides, it was King Yaseo himself who proposed this to me.

If I refuse here, my fathers might be in a bit of a difficult situation.

Especially since I want to build a closer relationship with Galph’s father, I don’t want to create a situation where we become estranged.

I nodded and said to King Yaseo.

“I will participate in the martial arts tournament.”

“Oh, really!”

“Yes. Yesterday, I also saw the warriors fighting in the arena. And I was interested when I heard the news that a martial arts tournament would be held.”

“That’s great! I’ll be looking forward to the martial arts tournament, Duke Trent!”

◈

The audience with King Yaseo ended quickly.

King Yaseo wanted to talk to me more, but he said he had work left to do today.

In fact, this audience was also something King Yaseo had forced to make time for.

“…Duke Trent.”

“Yes, Sir Linesalot.”

While walking down the corridor of the royal palace again on our way out, Galph’s father spoke.

“Do not ever use the technique you used on me in the martial arts tournament.”

“Understood.”

That technique was something I had to use because Father came at me with such a raging momentum.

I also don’t want to see a man’s subservient pose.

“Huh? What? What technique are you talking about?”

“…Sir Grahwin, you don’t need to worry about it.”

“Hmm, well, if you say so. But… why are you walking so far apart?”

“…That’s also not something Sir Grahwin needs to worry about.”

“No, Galph, you and I have the same son-in-law now. Let’s try to get a little closer.”

“Sir Grahwin, in the royal palace…”

“Why bother with such trivial things? Ah, right, you also lost to your son-in-law in a duel, didn’t you? That’s why you, a daughter-fool, aren’t even arguing with what I’m saying. But I thought you’d never admit defeat even if you lost… you’re still a knight of Bridan after all!”

“…Grrr.”

“Oh, look at that scary face, it’s obvious that you’ve admitted it but you’re not happy about it.”

“If you know, don’t say unnecessary things, Grapha.”

“Hehehe, I don’t want to? I’ve heard enough of your Gracia talk today to be sick of it, though not as much as Mrs. Nevia.”

It seems that Father shows the image of a respected knight in front of Ms. Gracia, but in front of Grapha’s father or Mother Nevia, he inevitably showed off his love for his daughter.

“Hahaha! Now that you’ve admitted it, get a little closer!”

Wham!

Grapha’s father strongly hit Galph’s father’s back with his palm.

“Ugh!?”

“Ah.”

Due to Grapha’s father’s palm, the distance between me and Father narrowed, and Father’s body automatically tried to take a subservient pose.

I used Zone to scan my surroundings.

Fortunately, there were no soldiers or attendants around.

But there was no telling when someone might pass by.

Snap!

I snapped my fingers and deployed the transparent barrier I use when having outdoor sex with my lovers.

At the same time,

“Squeak.”

Father was in front of me, taking a subservient pose.

“Huh?”

Grapha’s father tilted his head at Father’s sudden subservient pose.

“Pfft… Puhahahahaha!!! What is it, Galph! What is it! Puhup! You… you! You’ve submitted to your son-in-law! Hehehe, of course, you wouldn’t admit it if it wasn’t to this extent! Hahahaha! Oh, my stomach…!!! But my son-in-law is amazing too! To make Galph submit! Puhup!”

“F-Father Grapha, I-I didn’t do it on purpose. And please don’t laugh so much.”

In stark contrast to the laughing Grapha’s father.

“Grrrrrrrrr.”

Father, in a subservient pose, was glaring at Grapha’s father with a murderous expression, not at me.

“Lan… Duke Trent…”

“Ah, yes, yes! Father Galph… no, Sir Linesalot.”

“Tell… tell me to get up.”

“Huh?”

“Please, quickly.”

“Ah, understood! Please get up.”

“…”

As I spoke, Father immediately got up from the subservient pose.

It seemed that the subservient pose wouldn’t be released unless I told him to get up.

“Additionally… ‘order’ me not to take the pose even if I’m next to you… grrr.”

Father’s anger wasn’t directed at me right now.

But the aura of anger was very scary, as it was almost at the point of the state I saw yesterday.

“Yes, please don’t take a subservient pose even if you’re next to me.”

“Thank you.”

And Galph’s father looked at Grapha’s father, who was still clutching his stomach and wiping tears with his hand.

“Grapha… let’s have a duel after a long time.”

“Puhup… Huh? A duel? Oh, good! Good! You’re so full of murderous intent right now, it’ll be fun to fight! Hahahaha! It seems good things have happened since my son-in-law came!”

From Galph’s father’s murderous gaze, Grapha’s father instead grinned with a belligerent attitude.

“I wonder if it’s a good thing. Today, your tail might get cut off by my wind.”

“Hahaha! Why don’t you worry about your fur getting burned to a crisp by my flames?”

“You damn stray cat…”

“Huh? Where do I hear a dog barking?”

My guess is that Galph’s father and Grapha’s father were quite the rivals in their youth.

“Alright! Then let’s go to the training grounds right away! Ah, son-in-law! Would you like to watch if you’re okay?”

“No, it’s okay. I need to go to the arena and apply.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

“I’m sorry, Duke Trent. I have very important business with Sir Grahwin right now. Can you go back alone?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Hearing my words, the two fathers turned around and went somewhere.

They must be heading to the training grounds inside the royal palace.

In my head, I pictured Galph’s father shouting, “Dieeee!!” and Grapha’s father laughing, “Hahahaha!” as they fought fiercely.

After leaving the royal palace, I went straight to Ms. Gracia’s mansion.

“Husband!”

Ms. Gracia was waiting for me in front of the mansion.

“Ms. Gracia.”

“Did anything happen?”

“No, I’m fine. I just went to see King Yaseo for a while. He said he was curious about who I was.”

“I see… that’s a relief.”

“Is everyone inside?”

“No, everyone is at Tizanga right now.”

“At Ms. Lyfa’s mansion?”

“Yes, while waiting for you, Grill came… he said he was curious about the skills of adventurers from Pladan other than you, so he went to Tizanga with Aunt Lyring.”

“Then let’s go too.”

It wouldn’t be too late to apply for the martial arts tournament after joining everyone.

“Yes! Husband!”

◈

Ms. Gracia and I arrived at Tizanga.

-Kkueeeeeeeeeeek!!!

I heard a loud and familiar scream even from outside the mansion.
