I go to the castle to hear the Queen’s announcement as I promised. I see a group of talented adventurers near the castle’s gate, all of whom came here with the same purpose. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see any S-ranked adventurers. Instead, I saw a lot of A-ranked adventurers.
Some of them have rare skills that I want to take, but I have to endure. Since I don’t hate this world, I don’t want to take another’s ability needlessly.
I take from my enemies alone. However, I still have a policy of taking one point. This is okay because I consider it as a loan from the other party. Of course, I don’t forget to add one extra skill point back to them.
I retrieve the white envelope that I got from Gilbert and hand it to the guard. Since weapons and items with magic are prohibited, I have to leave them at the gate. I think S-ranked adventurers will have expensive magic tools too. They might feel uneasy about leaving them with the guard, so … it’s time to debut a magic item created by the Hero’s Production magic.
Its name is <safe box="">, and it is a personal storage space that can only be opened with its user’s biometrics. These will be stored by the guards over there after being screened with the magic tool called <dangerous detection="" material="">. By the way, the <dangerous detection="" material=""> magic tool is completely the same as the X-ray scanner at the airport. It clearly shows that the hero definitely lacked creativity.</dangerous></dangerous></safe>
I put the pouch-type item box I borrowed from Sakura in <safe box=""> for now. Well, it doesn’t have any effect because I still have
[S-She is the really a demon!]
[No way. Royal family has been taken over!]
The Queen’s aides and knights are confused. That is natural. Because the person they were following was actually the enemy of humanity.
[Err, the person over there is Sakuya, the real queen!]
Everyone’s attention is focusing on Sakuya. It is natural. There were 2 queens and one of them was a fake demon. The real one could be either one of them. Everyone is thinking that it isn’t proven which is the real one yet.
I remove the necklace “Guardian’s Prestige” from Romarie, kneel before Sakuya, and put it on her.
Sakuya allows me to put it on her neck. It said only royal family can equip “Guardian’s Prestige”, so this is proof that Sakuya is a member of the royal family. Well, there are exceptions like Romarie though.
[Calm down-noja. The demon was killed by this adventurer’s hand. There are no need for us to panic. Let’s think about the future-ja. We need to examine how far the influence of demon has reached; what information has to be disclosed or concealed. There are a lot of things to do. Do you think we have time to panic?!]
Her voice rings out and everyone calms down. She feels more pleasant than before in my opinion, because she is wearing a dress…
[I want all adventurers to standby in the waiting room until we decide what to do. Let’s prepare a snack for them-noja.]
Due to her powerful charisma, it seems that the situation has settled for now.
Suddenly, Sakuya approaches my ear. It is alright since I’m still kneeling. She whispers something to me.
[Thank you, onii-chan!]
It’s not the dignified voice she had a little while ago, but the voice and smile of a young girl that is more suitable for her age.
Because of that smile, I’m reconsidering what I’m going to do to help her.
