âI will receive that as a compliment, ăInfinite Variety (Senpen Banka)ă. And by the wayââYou havenât received your reward for the training, have you?â (Radrick)
!? Thatâs awesome, Sytry. You are the only one who would get rewarded for squeezing blood out of someone!
Then His Majesty said to me who was just stunned by the unexpected turn of events. His expression remained grim, but perhaps this was justâŚâŚ His original face.
âI will give you an additional reward. Make any offer you wish.â (Radrick)
âThat isâŚâŚ Unnecessary, Your Majesty. Training Her Imperial Princess Murina is something I have offered myselfââAnd I have received enough.â (Cry)
I have received enough rewardââCalled blood!
No matter how shameless I am, I canât be rewarded for a training that I havenât done anything on it. No, in fact, if I did, it would be a problem if something were to happen later.
If I may be bold, please give me the ăTrue Tears (Tears of the Truth)ă.
âIt isnât just for the training. It is also for stopping ăStillwater (Shisui)ă, fighting off the âFox (Kitsune)â, and also the tree plantation you did had also worked in our favor during the Conference. Even if we take into account the crash of the airshipââA single carpet isnât worth what you did for us.â (Radrick)
Thatâs awesome, me. All of my actions were backfiring on me, and yet I got an awesome high rating, thatâs so scary!
I have to avoid this at all costsâŚâŚ Rewards are proportional to your responsibilities. And the tree plantation was also a coincidence, so it wouldnât be strange if anything could happen to it.
âI did everything on my own. If a reward must be given, it should be given to Franz-san, who has put himself on the line for Her Imperial Princess Murina all along.â (Cry)
â!? Stop it, ăInfinite Variety (Senpen Banka)ă. His Majesty has offered you a reward, and it would be impolite not to accept it.â (Franz)
I really donât understand the world of nobility. If I may say be bold, please give me the ăTrue Tears (Tears of the Truth)ă.

âBut I donât need wealth. Nor status or honor.â (Cry)
I remembered what Ark had told me once, that in the Rodin family, every time something happened, his title would be raised as a reward, so I added this just in case.
I am generally satisfied with my current situation. If I could retire, that would be perfect, but that is not something the Emperor can do anything about.
And finally, I said while being badass.
âThey just corrupt your soul.â (Cry)
âAs Gladys told me, what a humble man. It might also be taken as condescending thoughâŚâŚ Now thenâŚâŚ If you donât need wealth, status, or honor, then that is problematic. The only thing that remains is power, but if you are a Level 8, you already have that.â (Radrick)
Power, hehâŚâŚ If you could give it to me, I really would want it, but unfortunately, I donât need it because I am not getting any stronger even if I get a powerful armor, and if things get out of hand, Luke and the others will be there for me.
Please give me the ăTrue Tears (Tear of the Truth)ă or a behaving carpet.
And there, Franz-san, who had been thinking with a subtle expression, opened his mouth.
âYou donât want wealth or honor, huhâŚâŚâŚâŚ Then Your Majesty, why donât you give him that ticket?â (Franz)
That ticketâŚâŚ?
His Majestyâs eyes widened at what Franz said, and he groaned a little.
âAaaah, the ăSupreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)ă, hehâŚâŚ Sure, I still had some leftover, but that is a little light to give as a rewardâŚâŚâ (Radrick)
It was an unexpected turn of events. But this could be good.

The ăSupreme Martial Art Festival (Buteisai)ă is one of the worldâs leading martial arts tournaments. As the name implies, famous warriors from all over the world gather to compete for the title of the strongest in the worldââThe Supreme Martial Art Emperor.
Just hearing that the event is not only for swordsmen but also for Magi, makes me have goosebumps but it is a very popular and flashy event. The participants include famous swordsmen, Magi, and Treasure Hunters, and it is not uncommon for people to die.
The winner receives a cash prize and tremendous honor, and all the past winners have been famous heroes.
However, the spectatorsâ tickets to the event were coveted not only by the nobles, but also by Treasure Hunters who love the words strongest, so you could never obtain Platinum Ticket without having a large network.
I am a half-retired Treasure Hunter, but I do love to watch a fancy fight from a safe distance. As I recall, Luke wanted to go see it, too.
It would be a good reward. Even though it was a platinum ticket, it had nothing to do with status or honor, and the price was reasonable. Even if my screw-up was discovered later, I am sure they will forgive me if I asked just thatâŚâŚ I think.
âThis isâŚâŚ Marvelous. The ăSupreme Martial Art Festival (Buteisai)ăâŚâŚ I have always been interested in it. If it is possible, I wish you could give me the ticketâââ (Cry)
His Majesty frowned. If he gives something cheap, it may affect his reputation as the Emperor of a great country, but you asked me to tell you what I wanted, so please find in your heart to forgive me.
Moreover, it is not a lie that I am interested. My certification Level is certainly high, but there are many people who have a higher certification Level than me participating in the tournament. The opportunity to witness the full power of powerful Hunters is truly rare. Watching powerful fighters in person will help ăStrange Grief (Nageki no Borei)ă make further progress.
When His Majesty realized that I was not going to change my opinion, he said with resignation.
ââŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ Alright. It is not worthy of your merit, but if you say so, then by all means. You may compete in valor to your heartâs content.â (Radrick)
