Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

713 Former Strongest, Getting Suggestions From The Emperor

When I heard that the Imperial Castle had a dining room and Victoria, the emperor, was eating there again, I honestly suspected it was true.

This was true of the Holy Capital in some ways, but they used it with care so that no one else could.

But Victoria, instead of secretly eating, usually eats with those who work in the castle, so it was natural not to believe it.

But.

"Hmm... sounds like it was true"

"Looks like it. Besides, it's a sight I've seen somewhere."

"Hmm. Well, this would also make it possible to eat together without any problems, or...?

With that said, I lean my neck towards the sight in front of me as I grab a meal with Aina.

The meal that I made it special was certainly not delicious, but I feel more concerned about this sight than it is.

Yes, the situation is that many of those who came to the dining room are smiling, dealing with Victoria, and gladly eating with her.

Naturally, the sight Aina saw somewhere, which was similar to what she saw all over the city yesterday.

Morning cafeteria, not everyone can use it if it's also royal castle.

In fact, from all the views, apparently the majority of the civilians here work in the castle.

Besides, to deduce from the leakage hearing stories, they seem to be coming all the way here to dine with Victoria.

Though, I'm just thinking that if normal, I'm just lifting it...... from the look on their faces it also seemed like it was from the heart.

In common sense, I'd like to avoid it if it wasn't a necessary situation such as eating with my boss, but also with the top of the country.

But in this way, there is certainly no problem with Victoria eating here... on the contrary, they even seemed to want it.

In other words, the conclusion to be drawn from this...

"Hmm... is the emperor very popular, something like that?

"I know how to say it, but that's what happens... It certainly wasn't like that yesterday either..."

With that said, I guess it was simply unexpected that Aina was somewhere confused by the wind.

To be honest, Soma agreed.

Because I never heard such a story.

"Well, you're right when it comes to stories that don't matter whether they're popular or not at the top of the country..."

"Nevertheless, you honestly imagined the opposite situation..."

There was no mention of popularity, but of character.

From there, the situation assumed and the situation now do not quite match.

No, if I said that, it would be a different situation based on the personality I was hearing about.

"Hmm, it's hard to think that they were gathering incorrect information, given that the other party is an empire."

"Of course there would have been some of those things, but they wouldn't talk if they didn't get certainty."

I wonder what that means, you two twisting your necks, but you'll never find the answer, as you deserve.

I narrow my eyes to Victoria, who is in a grin and is smiling herself.

What you can tell for now is that Victoria is definitely happy right now?

At least it's not like we can't see the emotions when we're dealing with ourselves.

I'm sure that's natural, but...

"Hmm... If I can make it back safely, we need to discuss the area."

"Well... if I can really get back, I'm talking about. In the first place, we still don't know what we're going to do after this."

"Sure, it is"

I thought we were going to talk about it, and so far it hasn't even come up on the subject.

I mean, when I got to the dining room, Victoria was taken away, and it was gone.

I guess the Somas should take precedence if they're supposed to, but it doesn't mean we're in such a hurry, or something we can't talk about unless we're here.

Therefore, Victoria's gaze, which includes an apology, shrugs her shoulders back, and instead greets her, she eats while looking at Victoria, who is doing something.

While reaffirming their current situation, Soma somehow looked over the scene while including in her mouth a soup with reasonably salty ingredients rolling around.

As a matter of course, there are various figures in the dining room in the morning.

One of the most crowded and uplifting of these is undoubtedly the corner of Victoria, but others dot pomposity and people, and also see where they are turning into a group.

And it was one of those things that bothered Soma.

When you throw a fluffy bread into your mouth, and you look there with a distinct atmosphere, Soma snorts one fumble.

"Speaking of which, it's the same as yesterday."

"Huh?... Oh, sure. Well, that's what I said yesterday."

Eina shrugs her shoulders with those words as she chews on the bread, too, to see immediately where Soma was looking.

What was ahead of Soma's gaze was the appearance of those who were far-fetched, rather than mixed up with Victoria and the others.

It was understood at first glance that the atmosphere was far from welcoming.

"Hmm... martial arts officer, something like that?

"I don't know if it's that kind of place from the atmosphere."

You can see that they are forged on clothes and from a distance, and their eyelids are sharp.

At least there's no mistake you're craving a martial arts.

And apparently, they didn't even like Victoria, rather than welcome her.

They were obvious enough to figure it out.

Some of them look like they seeped disgust, while others show an attitude that they don't even want to turn away and be in sight.

If we got closer, we'd hear him tongue pounding. Some showed how he looked, and others had a look that was close to hatred.

Its reactions and attitudes can vary, only to be sure that it doesn't like Victoria.

Personal favors and evils, for example, are personal freedoms, and not something that someone can enforce.

But this is a public place, and even it is the person at the top of this country who is pointing that emotion.

It can't be said to be OK in many ways... but it was for another reason that Soma frowned.

"Mmmm..."

"What's your approximate face? Well, I'm sure it's not a very nice attitude... no, you don't look like that. Speaking of which, he also said something about discomfort yesterday..."

"Hmmm... and now I know why I felt that way"

"Huh...? As always, I don't feel anything...?

"Well I guess so. Because the discomfort I felt in my life wasn't actually with them."

It was the other way around that Soma was uncomfortable.

Other than them, they were uncomfortable.

Because each of them showed a different attitude, even if it was due to an emotion of disgust -

"All those who smile at the Emperor are alike and come near."

"............... if you ask me, yeah. Not only do we all smile..."

"Hmm... I don't know if it's the right way to say it, but I feel the same degree"

Yes, they do show affection for the Emperor.

But I felt it was too pictorial.

Regardless, it is possible that it is just too much to think about, but it is also true that it cannot be ignored.

But if you ask me what's wrong, I will.

"- Can I have a moment, gentlemen?

And I heard that voice when I was thinking about it.

Turning his gaze, it was a strange man there.

Are you in your late twenties to early thirties?

I can tell from the top of my clothes that I look like a good man at first sight, but I'm just tight.

Definitely someone who can.

Probably...... no, he would definitely have extra skill first.

He is a considerable user, and has the corresponding experience.

You won't lose first if you fight from the front, but depending on the situation, it's no surprise you took the delay.

The atmosphere was similar to that of those who had seen it earlier, and nature and soma stood lightly.

"Oh, no, don't mind me... is that an impossible story? Well, I just want to ask you guys something. As soon as I hear that, I'm going somewhere, so could you just listen to me?

"Hmm... what do you want to hear, is that it?

It is unclear what is going on with the treatment of the Somas at present, but if the viewer sees it, he will know that the Somas are not from here.

Someone who may be suspicious is in the castle.

With that in mind, it's natural to try to listen.

"Well, do you mind?

"Well, that helps. So, there's only one thing I'd like to know, so I'm gonna ask you straight in, but... is it okay if you're the Demon King?

It was Aina who was more nervous about the word than Soma.

I can see from the signs that I'm practicing my magic so that something can happen, and I smile bitterly.

Because it was reliable, but at the same time I thought it was too vigilant.

There is nothing sword-soaked about how a man looks, and what is in his eyes is that curiosity seems close.

How I answered here, it was hard to think it would be a noisy development.

Besides, if this distance takes into account sitting and standing, soma moves faster than a man does something.

It was for that reason that Soma nodded without thinking so much.

"Well, that's what they call it."

"............... right"

There was a little while for the man to snort, whether he didn't think to admit it lightly or for another reason.

Then, a man distorts his expression like he bit even something bitter.

"Really... that means..."

He seemed like he was going to start thinking about something as it was, but I guess he immediately remembered the situation now.

When I raised my face, I opened my mouth - the moment its face became even more distorted.

The expression floated there was disgust close to hatred, if not soma's misperception, etc.

"... excuse me. And thank you. That's all I wanted to hear. Bye."

He was the man who left early enough, but Soma understood what had happened because he had captured that figure at the edge of his sight.

Victoria, who had been surrounded by a lot of laughter until earlier, stands there with a face like Nobu.

The man changed his expression, first of all because he definitely realized Victoria was right there.

"... sorry, I seem to have kept you waiting"

The look on Victoria's face that she said so had already returned, but it was not her fault that she seemed to have sad and spicy eyes only for a moment.

I could have decided not to see it as it was... but curiosity prevailed in the end.

"There's nothing wrong with that. We wouldn't have talked much anyway if we'd been eating. By the way, do you know a man right now?

"... because I know you, or you're the captain of the Kingsguard. As a concubine, I've known her quite a long time."

"Hmm... Was it"

"More than that, it looked like we were talking about something, but something happened?

"No, it's no big deal."

Soma answered that because she couldn't decide how she perceived the earlier question, or because she didn't think Victoria seemed to want to continue this topic very much.

Although I asked, it only seemed because of my position and circumstances.

The guess seemed right, and Victoria flushed the story lightly when she nodded one.

"Right. Well, that's fine. By the way, did the concubine say something about talking to them?

"Hmm, I told you so. That's why I'm here half the time."

"That's it, Demon King... no, it's Soma. Before you do, the concubine has one question for you."

"What do you want to ask, is? Is that just for me, too?

I glanced at Aina for a moment, but she shrugged her shoulders and gave it back.

I don't mind if we talk about it that way.

If Aina didn't care, there was no problem, and it was almost at the same time that Victoria nodded with her gaze back.

"Hmm. That's... what do you think of this empire?"

The word was stuffed with words for a few moments because there was no answer.

Whatever.

"Hmm... to be honest, I don't know what to answer, something like that. You know too much about the Empire to answer."

I know it from Eleonora and the others to some extent.

But on the contrary, that's all.

So little does Soma know about this country.

But Victoria nodded in such a way that she said it was above understanding.

And.

"Well... no, I thought you would. And that's why the concubine proposes this to him."

- Why don't you spend some time in the Empire.

With a smile on his mouth, Victoria had unleashed those words.
