Chapter 65

Chapter 65: 65

“… to the point of becoming. Is that why Master Uphilia is insistent?”

We were returning to the outhouse after the report on the findings of the Spirit Contract and the meeting that set the general policy for the future.

At the end of Ilia’s gaze is Yufi, who is silent with a faceless expression like Nobu’s. It is the expression that seeps out the bad mood of the thing. Raini is watching Yufi as if she were surprised, and she’s kind of cute and laughs like a little animal.

“I think it makes sense. I can’t believe Lord Grants hit that daring hand over there.”

“That’s because I set up anise. I handled the situation the way I wanted while silencing the Ministry of Magic in anticipation that if I denounced Annis in its name, I would buy my unhappiness. They did it…”

Lord Grants has successfully exploited the differences between the layers who support me and Uffi. Yufi has a thick faith in the traditional Spirit and remembers well by the nobles who have power and move the backbone of politics. By contrast, I gathered support from the Knights and other people who actually worked in the field.

It would not be strange for me and Uffi to be in conflict if it were meant to be. But Yufi can be described as a pro-technical school. Nor have I refused to even have a wind that weighs magic just because I don’t care about excessive faith.

In other words, those who support us more than ourselves if we were to make a scene. And until now, factions, including the Ministry of Magic, had power. Originally, it was not strange to be enlivened by the advent of Uffi, with enough qualities to be too much as its flaghead.

But if I open the lid, Uffi will admit to magic and insist that it should be incorporated into the country, and I, the banner of the opposing forces, will also fall under the protection of Lord Grants, who is deeply rooted as a faction.

Until now, I have not been active in such a way that I have no power over myself, but it may be more than a national undertaking that has been officially recognised by the State. I mean, I have no reason to lose my hand either.

Once magic spreads, I am confident that I will spread my invention once and for all, starting with the Knights who thirst for it. Who lost money, it is a force that sought to strengthen the tide of spiritual faith with Ufi in charge. The diagram completely frustrated my nose.

What’s terrible here is that Lord Grants used Ufi to throw round to frustrate his nose. It’s like sending Yufi in as an assassin to frustrate the nose of his opponents, making it clear that he can’t get into his own camp. It’s really lame……

“I know it’s necessary……. but i didn’t think i could take up anise. I was going to persuade the Ministry of Magic for two, but I can’t beat that guy by putting in place a situation that would advance the spread of magic…”

Uffi groans as he bites his teeth in remorse. I think it’s probably an illusion to hear something like that.

“So does Master Anis work under Lord Grants tomorrow?

“You will, and Yuffi will go to the Ministry of Magic. It will be a little while before it is made public to the people, but we will be disclosing it among the nobles. From now on, it’ll be a prep period to figure out which one will be king.”

“But the situation is a bad flag color for Master Uphilia”

“Anis stands as his back shield, and he’s more welcome than his ex. I may be held hostage at first, but as far as magic is concerned, it will be difficult to agree.”

“But that means you have to have those people on your side for Master Uphilia to succeed to the throne…?

“… I guess this is also a guy named Challenge Letter for that guy. Phew.”

Squirting small, then Uffi smiles invincibly. We all laughed bitterly at the smile that we had never seen before, even if it was belligerent.

Surely Uffi is more willing if he says which of us wants to be king. Uffi must henceforth bring together the faction of which he will be king.

“We don’t work hard together, but we wish together. Let’s do our best, Uffi.”

“Yes, Anis…. Well, I’m not used to calling you that yet.”

Anis, and. I sank when the shock ran like Yufi grabbed me in the chest after laughing at me again.

… because it’s not good for the heart to do that with time difference! Don’t even laugh at Ilia and Raini!

“Well. Then I’ll go.”

“Yes, you’re welcome to come”

The next morning, me and Uffi were dropped off by Ilia and Raini to leave the palace behind. I walk alongside Uffi because the road is with me on the way. There is no conversation between us on the road. Still has a strange sense of satisfaction.

“Mm-hmm. Then I’m this way.”

“Yep……. anis”

“Hmm?”

“… you’re coming”

“Yeah. Come on in”

I smile back at Yufi who smiles, too. Just a little bit of remnants. I’m going down the road to the Ministry of Magic. Drop Yufi off and I’ll walk away, too.

It was the Department of Defense who called Lord Grants. I’ve never been here before. This will be a department that receives reports of the defense and policing of the country, the emergence of demons from each territory, and carries out work related to the defense of the country.

Will it be an organizational chart that says each Knights is attached under this Ministry of Defense? The fact that I have never been involved with the Ministry of Defense before is that I simply have no contact.

I do fight demons as adventurers in material hunting, but I wasn’t directly involved in the defense of the country. There was no reason for the Knights to be involved, but for the Ministry of Defense above them.

(uhh… you’re a little nervous in that sense)

What people are at the top. Lord Grants knows, but he doesn’t know what people are around him. I was smoked like a snake scorpion in the Ministry of Magic, but what’s it gonna be like over here?

Anxiety is approximated to the section where the Ministry of Defense is operating. Compared to the Ministry of Magic, it seems qualitative. The Ministry of Magic building also had a season in it, but I have the impression that this one is understated and simply obsolete compared to that one.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Princess Anisphere”

“That, Captain Sprout Knights?

At the entrance, I encounter the head of the Sprout Knights, who was recently becoming a familiar face. Apparently they were expecting me.

“I will be your guide today.”

“Is the Kingsguard Knights leader himself?

“Yep. The Knights belong to the lower part of the Ministry of Defense, because the head of each Knights regiment also has a say in the Ministry of Defense. It’s a little complicated to stand in, but that’s why I asked for Princess Anisphere’s guide.”

“… in order for the Ministry of Defense to take command in the normal course of life and, in the event of an incident, to turn to the Knights for judgment?

All the Knights Sprout did to my question was smile. I think about what the sincerity of that smile is.

Is that what you want to do to make the crime scene a priority? But when you leave it to the field, there is no uniformity, so you take the time and make it that way? I’m not exhausted.

“Shall I come then? Lord Grants and the Secretary of Defense are waiting.”

“… Speaking of which, you’ve never had much of an exchange with the Secretary of Defense.”

“You’re an extraction of Your Majesty and Lord Grants…. because if the Secretary of Defense ate too much into politics, he could have inspired the Ministry of Magic. So far, huh?

Blur, and nod to the whispered words in his ear to show.

You’re about to get me wrong, but Lord Grants stands in the prime minister’s position. It is not a direct report of the Ministry of Defense, but rather a status that belongs above it.

So in the context of political consultation, Lord Grants sums it up and it becomes a structure to move the Department of Defense. Until now, I have not questioned it, but it also seems odd that the Secretary of the Ministry of Magic is present and the Secretary of the Ministry of Defence is not.

Well, maybe the position of the Ministry of Magic has no choice because it also has the role of advisor to the king. I don’t know the details, so I can’t help thinking about it. We’re going to learn about an organization called the Ministry of Defense.

With that in mind, I arrive at the secretary’s office of the Secretary of Defense, guided by the Knights of Sprout.

“The Duke of Magenta is already waiting for you. Let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

Chief Sprout Knights knocks and then speaks the language of entry. Confirm the reply from inside before proceeding with the door opened to me by the Knights Commander.

It was Lord Grants waiting inside, and Grandpa with a big giant. It’s the kind of physique you call a samurai to see, making you feel old but not fading.

“Oh, Princess Anisphere! It’s an honor to have you here!

“Uh, ah, yes”

He rang the footsteps that seemed to rock the floor and held both hands with his hands that he might be two times bigger than me. Even the back length is huge without losing hand. If you are approached close range, you will not be able to see your face until you look up.

Sometimes I’m small! It seems like there’s a 2m or something like that, but this grandfather. Awesome impact, strong pressure of first encounter impression……!

“Was it the last time I saw you as a child? Do you remember Nong’s name?

“What, um, I’m sorry…”

“Ha-ha-ha! I can’t help it! Whatever. Princess Anisphere has been magically intrigued since she was a child! It’s very natural for a boneless grandfather to forget! It would be an honor if you remembered Non’s name again! Non is Dillcent Endive! It’s the old age of the Duke of Endive house!

“… of the House of the Duke of Endive?

“Uhm! The current Duke is a nobleman! Because I just let the old bones inherit the housekeeper!

House of the Duke of Endive. To my knowledge, it is a duke house with a shallow history compared to the Duke of Magenta family. I don’t hear many names because I’m still shallow in history.

When I say Duke’s house, I guess it’s because of Lord Grants that the Magenta Duke family floats.

“Don’t even call me Grandpa Dill! Even if they call me Duke or Secretary, I feel itchy!!”

“Ha ha…”

I don’t know, I’ve never been treated before. They come all the way here and drink me. I try not to break my grin even though I manage to give an ambiguous reply.

“Dilcent old. Greetings will be there by then.”

“Ooh! Sorry, Grants!

Lord Grants walked in between me coughing. Old Dilcent sat back in his chair when he heard Lord Grants. Is the chair a special order, too, very large? Somehow it makes me look amazing.

It was Lord Grants who set the scene apart, in the atmosphere of finally proceeding.

“First of all, Princess Anisphere. Good luck investigating the Spirit Contract”

“No, it’s not.”

“At His Majesty’s decision, temporarily, I think the country will also emerge. We look forward to seeing Princess Uphilia in the Ministry of Magic as the next generation of people in charge.”

Uffi in my brain smiled and exhaled evil, “You say it often,” but I shake it off and leave a vague grin on it.

“So how am I supposed to do in the Department of Defense……?

“Uhm! Quick, that’s the point! Grants, wait for me!

Old Dilcent comes out laughing with childish innocence.

To the intensity of that pressure I take a few steps back as I lean back.

“Regardless, we hope to deploy you to the Knights of Demon Props! I’d prefer to go across to all the Knights if I could! Just that delightful patterned sword! Plus, I want to get a head count of flying magic items that Princess Anisphere is riding around! Is the production of magic props a personal production? Then you also need a budget to attach a contract to a major workshop!

I accidentally rounded my eyes. Flight magic props for Mana Blade, maybe Airdra? Or is it a mould? Well, there’s no way there’s any stock going over to the Knights either way. Even Mana Blade isn’t enough, and I can’t do more flying magic equipment.

It was so sudden that I waited for old Dilcent.

“Hey, wait a minute, Dilcent, old man!

Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

“Mmm, isn’t Grandpa Dill good for you? He’s a relative, but he’s a relative!

“Well, that’s true…… not so! All of a sudden, it’s impossible to spread demonic props to all of the Knights.”

“Uhm! I know that! But Noon wants to spread the demonic props implementation to the Knights as soon as possible! If so, you will have to take the initiative for mass production! Or is it something that takes a lot of time to make?

“Demonic props are not something I can suddenly give to the Knights…”

“Hmm? Are you saying it’s not finished yet? But isn’t it the iron rule of object making that you can’t make something better if you have to prototype it?

“Well, that’s true… why, all of a sudden, is it that big a story?

I turned my gaze from old Dilcent to Lord Grants without concealing my confusion. I can’t go on without asking what the hell the intent is. It skips too many stages.

But Lord Grants remains silent even when his gaze is turned from me. Then Lord Dilcent pointed his lips. It’s a kid-like obstinate way, but honestly it doesn’t look too good on me and I’m uncomfortable.

“Mmm, didn’t Princess Anisphere finally raise her heavy hips?

“Heavy hips… suddenly surprised me.”

“What’s sudden! Non has been complaining to Grants! And Matthew! Don’t you think this guy is a man with no blood or tears!?”

“Well, well, old Dilcent. Please calm down.”

It was the Knights of Sprout who broke in between. Stand between old Dilcent and me to forgive the excitement. Then he looks at me with a slightly troubled grin.

“But it means exactly what you say. Princess Anisphere, we would like to deploy the magic tools to all the Knights if they are to be popular even now.”

“… isn’t that a joke or something?

“Think about it, Princess Anisphere. You know better than anyone how effective and valuable it is to deploy magic items to the Knights. That’s not just about equipment. For example, the magic artifact that was shown at the recent exhibition of the Ministry of Magic to help with life. That’s also what I’m looking for so much for the Knights that I can get my hands out of my throat. Especially the Knights who belong to the periphery are the strong ones. They have a lot of camping opportunities.”

“Ahhh…”

I can certainly nod if you ask me. Even Mana Blade is an easy-to-carry device in the first place, and if Mana Blade is popular, it simply reduces the weight of the sword.

You can also use the magic props of daily items in the open air. Even one insulation pot can improve the environment of the camp. There is no explanation for flying magic props.

“It is the people on the front line who are looking for inventions by Princess Anisphere’s magic. Yet, Grants, I’m just telling you to put up with what you’ve done so far!

“As I have said many times, it was Princess Anisphere’s will, and it took time to maintain peace in the country.”

“That’s why you waited! If we finally get the recognition, shouldn’t we launch it as a state business to name the country!? This is a huge step forward, Grants!

“I know. I know. Yes. But if you think about your position, you know you can’t snort.”

“… uhm”

Unconsciously, old Dilcent lurked his eyebrows. No, I had my own position, too, so let’s spread magic and gain power, I didn’t think of anything.

Then the head of the Sprout Knights opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

“The Ministry of Defense is in a complicated position, Princess Anisphere.”

“A complicated position?

“The Department of Defense has many houses that have once again welcomed as ministers the nobility who revolted against His Majesty the King of Orphans, or the grandfather of Princess Anisphere. So the Department of Defense is distanced from politics.”

That is certainly complicated, once again welcoming the nobles with their blades to the royal family as ministers. I don’t think Father would have abandoned all the nobles because of how many wars there were. Should I say that if I take a good view, I am tempered, and if I take a bad view, I have sold my thanks?

I feel like I can’t help but be distanced from politics by a faction with such a justified aristocracy. Apart from whether that’s good or bad.

“I can speak for myself. But as a Ministry of Defense, I can’t afford to lose my power in pranks. Most importantly, it is the people of our country. Then it was only once that I confronted my responsibilities and decided that my government would entrust them to the King. There is no falsehood in that belief.”

Severely, Old Dilcent tells. The two arms assembled had more force than was necessary to make his whole body look shivering.

“In that regard, Grants, who took it between us and the king, has nothing to be thankful for. But! That’s it! There is also a desire to fight demons on the ground and to labor knights who are struggling to protect their people! If there is anything better, I want to incorporate it and use it as a force! Therefore, I have been waiting for the time when Princess Anisphere’s invention of magic will be spread to the world!

Old Dilcent can roar as he unwraps the arms he was putting together and pounds his fist on his desk with momentum.

The frightening indoor air trembles and a voice sounds as if it is going to shake its core.

“You just have to let the politics and other wise people do it! We don’t have time for revenge on kings or politics! That being said, for those who have no ears to hear, and the suffering of the people! I don’t even know how hard the knights struggle! Then there’s no reason to ask!!”

“Then I’m in trouble, didn’t Lord Grants take it for me…”

“Hmm! So I told you, leave it to the wise! Say the Grants have the chance to spread their magic! Be brave and say what’s wrong!!”

“So things need something called order or rooting…”

With his hips low, the head of the Sprout Knights is laying his words down to calm old Dilcent.

I just have a little sympathy for Lord Grants, who is sighing deeply beside it and suppressing his temples.

… Well. You’re lying if I can’t even respond to thoughts you’ve had so far, right? I don’t want to lie about the feeling that struck this heart. Nature and grin come from the bottom of my heart.

“Dilcent old. No, I dare you to call me Grandpa Dill. Let me be clear. I don’t want a throne or anything.”

“Ho?

“I created magic for me. Because I couldn’t use magic, I knitted magic for myself. It was born for the good of the people.”

Yes, it’s just that I’ve been running through wanting to be able to use my magic.

The destination is not a “king”. It’s a wizard.

“My magic is magic to make someone smile. If it’s for someone’s smile, I’ll do as much magic as I can. But it’s not the throne you want ahead of you. I want to do something for this country as a wizard. Can I help you with that? I want to be a“ knight, “not a” subordinate. ”Not as someone who serves me, but as someone who wants strength to protect those who deserve it.”

I offer my hand to Grandpa Dill. Look straight in the eye.

Grandpa Dill looks back on me, too. And I laughed to peel my teeth out.

“Do you want power? What’s that power for?

“I want power for the knights, the people, the country!

Then we’re comrades.

“Uhm! Then Princess Anisphere!

“To the best of your ability, let me give you my wisdom. And for that, I need your help.”

“Let’s respond! With the pride of the knight!!”

Grandpa Dill’s big hand holds my hand. I’m a little dressed up for shaking hands, but my mind made sense.

Yeah. You forgot because you’ve been growing up lately. I always say! Be honest with yourself! Be honest! Be straight! What a wreck! You do what you want, you win!

“Come on, Lord Grants! Let’s talk budget! And the Sprout Knights Commander! If you have a major workshop with handouts, introduce us! My holding blacksmith is going to embrace me too, but how many minutes bigotry does it break bones to persuade me! Please also help us in that regard! There’s so much to discuss!

Come on, let’s get started. Do my magic for me again from here. To deliver magic to make everyone smile.
