Chapter 209 – Temporary Peace – 2
Another angle, another angle.
The sound of shoes echoing in a quiet hallway. Chloe was heading for the office with a stack of papers in his hand.
“Waaaaa!”
Suddenly, I turned my head at the sound I heard outside the castle.
In the wide plaza below the castle, the knights could be seen moving as they gathered together.
“I work hard.”
Did you say football?
As much as the knights with magical powers move, it is incredibly violent and dangerous. The ball that was made as a test was broken too easily, so the game was being played with a specially made ball.
Quaang!
People collide with each other, and the hair of people in the audience seats flutters in the aftermath.
I tried it on Chloe a few times, but it was too barbaric for my taste.
I’ve heard that it’s a strategic game where you have to plan your strategy quite cleverly, but when the atmosphere of the game overheated, it collided head-on like that, bounced off, and went crazy.
“Leo-sama is really…”
As for the detailed rules, he told me to keep correcting them while playing the actual game, and after trying it a few times, he withdrew his hand, which is the problem.
Even if he gets seriously injured, it is clear that he will pass over the wound as a badge of honor.
It’s not just American football.
Several times, after calling knights and other vassals, they do strange sports or games.
It is said that it suddenly came to mind, but in Chloe’s view, it was close to the feeling of roughly embodying something she knew.
“Ha…”
I can’t blame it though, because there are a few things that Chloe looks good on after a few tries, like football.
Quaang!
“Kyaaak!”
Startled by the sudden roar, Chloe looked outside.
One of the knights jumped up with the ball, and suddenly a huge flame flared up around the ball and slammed it down.
The opponent who received the ball engulfed in flames withstood the impact.
Instead, the surroundings are dug deep into huge craters.
Dodgeball is a sport.
“Hey, heck! Lord Toki! I already saw through your flame shot!”
“Keugh! To think you already saw through my fireworks shot that the Count praised!”
“Stand up! Lord Toki! Your flame shot is still unfinished! The time has come to awaken its true power!”
“Ohhh clothes!”
…
What do grown men do?
Chloe touched her forehead with a trembling hand.
My blood pressure seemed to rise. There was a movement originally, but this was the first time it was actively promoted. It’s natural that it’s dangerous to use mana, but Leo-sama was rather having fun and encouraging it.
People’s muscles burst, bones break, and buildings collapse.
Did you know that all of that costs money?
“What else is the dodgeball king…”
The other day, after a certain tournament, he was even given the title of dodgeball king, saying he was an MVP.
However, if you lose in the next tournament, it will be forfeited.
Sir Toki, the first king of dodgeball, is said to be the glory of his family, and these days it is a problem because he focuses on athletic training rather than knight training.
“Huh.”
Chloe held back a sigh to get out again, and moved on again. In any case, he is busy dealing with festivals and wars.
However, since Leo-sama has been working hard lately, the end is slowly in sight.
“After today’s work, shall we take a break for the first time in a while?”
Smiled slightly.
In the past, there were times when I ran away because I didn’t want to work.
Now he has been duly dubbed a count, and has been given a new surname. No matter what happened to the king who gave it, he is now the proud owner of a castle.
With the growth of such an owner, Chloe also felt like she should let her rest for the first time in a while.
Smart!
Work is almost over, so it’s not bad to go out before the festival is over.
The previous group sex (an orgy named) also received a good response. It’s embarrassing, but it’s not bad to do it for Leo-sama. And it’s not bad to spend time with Irina-sama or Alina-sama. It’s good to let the three of you rest for a day in such a place.
“…”
Huh?
Smart!
In the hallway, which became quiet again, Chloe knocked on the door of the office. Although the sound of knocking echoes, it is quiet inside.
Chloe tilted her head and put her hand on his handle.
“Leo. Excuse me.”
Saying that, he slowly opened the door.
“…”
Chloe sighed.
A room full of papers. The office is full of paperwork that was sent this morning as well as the last paperwork yesterday.
Leoric was nowhere to be seen.
“…”
Kwajik!
The handle of the office was broken.
* * *
After the war, there was still cleanup left, but a temporary peace came.
The owner of the castle came back and Müller Castle was crowded with many people for the festival.
Of course, that amount of additional work increased, but that was the job of a subordinate, not the owner of the castle.
Of course, there are still paperwork to be done every day, but I suddenly thought.
“Okay. Let’s run away.”
An award given to me for working so hard.
The time has come to receive the award.
I immediately put into action.
First of all, he immediately completed only the simple finishes of the handed over documents, handed them over, lowered his vigilance, and carefully got out of the office.
Of course, this is not the end.
I’m definitely not bragging, but I’m cool and flashy. Blonde and gold eyes. Above average height. Distinct features.
There, the face is probable.
“Ha, that handsome face. You can’t hide it.”
It’s sure to get attention.
There, I brought the items prepared in advance.
A wig with brown hair. Still, a bread hat to hide the obvious appearance. Clothes worn by commoners. Moderately dirty shoes. It still feels clean, but today is a festival. On this day, there is nothing unusual for commoners to dress up enough.
In that state, the golden eyes also changed their color using a very small amount of magical power.
Even in normal times, I control my magic power, so if I make up my mind and hide my magic power, no one will find it.
Looking through the mirror, I was a complete commoner. Of course, with his tall stature and physique, he gives off the impression of a handsome man, but this much can’t be helped.
Immediately, I cautiously left the room while observing the surroundings.
* * *
“Good good!”
I moved quickly to the central square.
The movement of the castle was quiet as if it hadn’t been noticed yet. In the first place, the knights are banging and it is very crowded with people watching it.
Getting out of there was easy.
I walked out of the street with a smile on my face.
Due to the festival, people were walking down the street laughing.
“Nice.”
There are people who perform individually or in teams, starting with Piero’s street performances. Or, there are people who sit side by side and draw pictures. With my cultural policy, I am providing support to people who are interested in music and art.
Listening to the sound of music and laughter that embroidered the streets, I moved along with them.
Oh, this sounds delicious.
“What kind of meat is this?”
“Hey chicken. Would you like one?”
“Good. Give me one.”
At this time, I brought the coins that I secretly collected to use.
After paying the bill, she held up a piping hot chicken skewer.
I know that food in a castle tastes better, but there is a taste that can only be experienced at a festival like this, again!
Gulp!
Kyaa
A taste of this cheapness. No, not exactly a stimulating taste. The taste of the sweet sauce that stimulates the mouth and the taste of the chicken was thrust into the mouth once. This also stimulates the peripheral nerves.
“Good. I should try all the food stalls around here.”
Money is plentiful
We headed straight to the next stall. From familiar animal meat to animals you have never seen before. I started to take care of Müller’s dishes that I had never eaten at Franz.
“Youth… Aren’t you full after eating that much?”
“It’s okay!”
It must have attracted quite a bit of attention because they ate while moving one after another from the food stall next to them.
The owner of the last stall bought me something to eat with a worried face.
It’s something like glutinous rice. As I shoved it into my mouth, my stomach slowly swelled.
“Whoa.”
This time, I took a sip of the drink while stroking my slightly protruding stomach with a feeling of fullness.
Hehe. Where are you going this time?”
Since we ate so much, let’s take a walk.
Bang!
That moment.
Someone grabbed my arm
Covertly and swiftly. The arm that protruded from behind my back to the extent that I couldn’t even feel it, grabbed my arm so that I couldn’t move.
“Leo?”
“… !”
I got goosebumps.
The surroundings were still very crowded as so many people came out on the streets. Amidst all those people, the incredible ability to occupy my back and hold my arm without any sign.
If the opponent was an assassin, I was beaten.
Senses become sensitive to the tension that covers the whole body.
As if the time of the world had stopped, I slowly turned my head.
Pretending to be calm, as if suddenly holding hands.
I turned my head and looked at the person holding my arm.
Chills down the spine
In a perfect disguise, even magic power was hidden.
He changed his clothes, put on a wig, and even changed the color of his eyes with minimal magical power.
But who would have noticed?
“No, that…”
“Yes?”
Who held my arm
In front of me, I looked at the woman who tilted her head with her eyes wide open.
“Uh, how did you know? … Shallot?”
“By the smell!”
Scary, this kid.
You’re saying it as if it’s normal.
