Well, it was a detour, but we managed to reach Donescu, the capital of the Southern Knights country. However, strangely enough, Master Sailor's retainer Dominic is here, and he and his men are watching the entrance to the city.

　When I called out to him, he immediately seized me [suddenly what! But then I was forcibly asked to do a job.

I was worried that there was an accident because of Ryota-dono's late arrival.

　Officer Mendale of Kishina, he's probably the one who sold the information to Lady Sailor.

'I'm sorry for your concern. But what is so much work that Mr. Dominic is coming?

　It took a lot of effort to get here, and now that I'm finally going to be investigating my real life, I really don't want to take a job that looks like a hassle. However, Sailor-sama is my guarantor, so I can't disrespect her. It's hard........

　There was no way to get away from it, so we decided to listen to Dominique's story.


Dominique's story

　Apparently, the princess of King Alpu is married to the king of this country as a side room. And now, an unidentified monster has appeared in the castle and several people have died.

　Furthermore, there are rumors that the Princess of King Alpes and the king of this country are involved in the incident with the monster.

　You'll be able to find out what's going on, and then you'll be able to find out whether or not the princess of the Alpes is related to the case or not, the monsters are demons and have nothing to do with the king and princess, and then you can exterminate them and solve the problem.

　I want someone with more time on their hands.
　I'm not a great detective or special forces, okay?
　But it seems I'm the only one with the right conditions.

　When the king, who is the client, was thinking about choosing a person, he gave the following conditions: an exterminator who can lift the restrictions because the monster is unknown, an exterminator who has at least a knighthood because the job will be in the castle, but who doesn't belong to any power as much as possible.

　But could there be an exterminator with such conditions?　The king of Alpes and the king of this country were troubled. I'm not a member of the group, but I'm a member of the group, and I'm a member of the group.

　In my case, my exterminator license has been lifted, the number of members is small, and I have a baronetcy, to say the least. And I'm not an Aresian, my home country is far east and I'm practically a free man.　

　I'm actually an investigator for the Goddess.

I couldn't help but object to a certain...

　Dominic-san can't get deeply involved either. Even so, he seems to have come to advise Sailor-sama that he can be of help if it's money, chores or dealing with the nobles.

''Thank you for that. Dominic-san is also a pain in the ass........''

　As well as the Goddess's request, this case is also a rubbing-off case, a backroom job.　

　Me, this kind of black or near-black gray work. Do I look like I'd be good at it to a lot of people?　If that's the case, I'd like to stay indoors for a month or so, but...

　I ended up being treated as a resident military officer in the Alps, and I'm scheduled to meet with my client, the king, soon. I don't know what I've been practicing my scholarly act for, but I know that most of my life is wasted effort!


A room in the castle

　Afterwards, Dominic led me to a room in the royal castle, but there was only one desk and two chairs, with a kingly-looking one already sitting in one of the chairs. I thought Dominic was with me, but he paid me off. You don't even know the etiquette, but me and the king are going to be the king?

　I tried to get down on one knee for a while, but...

"Forget it, sit in front of me for now. I'm the king's Pawl, the one you asked for.

　A quick change of pace I don't know what's going to happen to me, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Good evening, sir.　It's Ryota, the Exterminator!　I don't know anything about politeness, so all right!

　Hmm?　I thought you were going to cut me off for my rude remarks...

　But it's an outfit you can't cut with a sword!　But despite the rude response, King Pawl nodded, not caring, and pointed his hand at the chair facing him. And there's no sign of anyone in particular lurking around.

　Seriously, it's an insert?
　You don't think the king would be this careless, do you?
　Is it some kind of test?

Excuse me, are you the Shadow Warrior?　You don't think you can just walk up to a foreigner?

　A shadow warrior anyway. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a good job in a secret meeting, and this job puts me in a bad mood and crushes the request!　We'll have to find out about the heroic information through a different channel.... What a pain in the ass!

"You're really good at checking things out, this case is a lot of complicated stuff, and a guy like you is just fine. I'm definitely the real deal, let's get down to business, shall we?

　It's real!
　And why do you like it!
　There's something about this king that I'm not very good at and....

　When I gave up and sat down, the king himself drank the wine, and I still don't understand the culture of this world. Goddess, I wish you had prepared a handbook for the nobility as well.

'Huh, I give up. That's a far cry from the King of the East.

　Now that you've poured me a drink, I can at least pour it back. It's impossible to kill a job like this........sad!

''I'm of duke blood, but I'm at the bottom of the heap, and I used to be a soldier. My uncle, King Bohdan, forced me to be his successor, and sometimes I have to take it easy. Huh, I'd rather be back in the front line than doing the king's work... but I'll stop complaining and tell you the story.

　I'd like to sigh, but I hear the throne is a burden on King Paul, too. There are many people who want to be the king, but it's not easy. As far as I'm concerned, a mismatch in the job market is never a good thing.

　So, it's a long story, but I began to explain the process.
