Yoaningen, what are you thinking about?

This is the first time that I've ever seen such a thing.

The words and actions of the level 8 young man that he had seen during the escort so far were incoherent in the eyes of Chrisus. He would go this way and that way, and even when he was about to give advice as a party member, he would deny it. ...... It was truly a "thousand changes".

The Zebrudia side is also the Zebrudia side. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.
Human society is complex and different from the society of the Nobles. He thought he knew this from his activities since arriving in the capital, but there were still many things he could not understand when he became a party to it. It's better to just watch and not interfere, as this is just another experience.

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the things that are available.

As if she had made up her mind, Her Imperial Highness spoke up in a somber voice. Neither the Emperor nor Franz interrupted her.
The Emperor and Franz did not interrupt. As he listened to her go on and on, Crus nodded in his mind without expressing it.

I see,......, it certainly seems to be bad luck.

You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life. She is the princess of a great nation. There must be a reason why she was targeted, but Zebrudia should have sent guards in anticipation of that.
And yet, every time she goes outside, she is attacked by bandits, demons, an earthquake knocks over a nearby shelf, lightning strikes nearby, and she doesn't get any good luck in the fortune telling. But it seems that his father, the Emperor, was worried and brought him this far away.

Krei Andrich nodded plausibly as he listened.
Perhaps he had some idea of what was going on? ...... Joaningen's maneuvers had always been surprising. It would not be surprising if he came up with some kind of outlandish solution this time as well.

After all was said and done, His Highness Murina closed his mouth. A strange silence filled the area for a while, and then Cry rolled his eyes.






'What? What's the point of the story?

''What?


'When you dig a hole to release hot springs, subterranean people crawl out, or when you think an earthquake has occurred, it's not an earthquake at all, but a sign that an ancient dragon that has been asleep for a long time will come back to life--'

'...... There's no way that's a joke! I've been listening to you for a while now, and I don't know what you think you're doing!

'...... Then you were just attacked by bandits, weren't you? Isn't there any chance that it was a pawn of the fox or something like that?

'No. ...... is not ....... ...... is not .......'

His Imperial Highness, who had summoned the courage to begin speaking, clenched her fists and quickly half-hid herself behind Franz. Krai thought about it for a moment, but for some reason he frowned in disbelief.

'If you didn't get hit by lightning or something nearby, you're lucky, and isn't it too early to consider that as bad luck?

'!

Krai shrugged his shoulders and made a disrespectful gesture, as if to say, 'Good grief, you country folk. No one scolded him for it.
Even Franz was frozen in a state of shock.

'Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just a coincidence. It happens all the time. I've never had lightning strike me, and I've never had a bad fortune without cheating. If I use magic, it will explode and turn my employer into a frog.

There is no such man, sir!
You'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic on the web. The Emperor's eyes narrowed and he said in a low voice.

'It's not every day that bandits target the glorious Zebrudia royal family.

'I'm afraid, Your Majesty, there are more than a few bandits like that. I'm a level 8 and I've been targeted a lot.

You really are fearless. I wonder if there has ever been a man who could stand up to Radric Atrum Zebrudia, who has the appearance of a champion even in the eyes of the spirit man, Crus, with a light word and a joke. At this point, I even feel a kind of respect for him.

And now, after all this time, Crus understood the reason why Joaningen had not been in a hurry at all.

Perhaps the events that had occurred during this escort journey were not something that Yowaningen needed to worry about. The dragon, the bandits, and the treasure house were all known to him, and he was confident that he could get through them all. That's why he was so natural.

But whether he has bad intentions or not,......, he seems to be completely agitating people left and right.


'Franz is using the Armor of Transgression. This will transfer the damage from the attack on Murina - but Franz has already almost died seven times. How do you see this?'

'...... Only seven times? That's like a margin of error. I don't know how many times I've used my warding finger on this trip alone.

'!

This guy, when did he ever use the warding finger,............?
He turns red and keeps his mouth shut. No, you can't interrupt me now.

But even so, I have no idea when he activated the ring. Krei Andrich was with Crus most of the time during this escort. I don't think he was attacked that many times. .......

Kry nodded confidently.

'Aside from the guards - well, I have an idea of how to manage that level.

'What? What's that method?

'Training.'

Franz rolls his eyes, and Murina rolls hers. Krus watched, rolling his eyes.
But Jowaningen said with an exaggerated gesture.

'If you are strong enough, you can fight off bandits. You can fall from hundreds of meters in the air and be struck by lightning without any problem. You'll have little trouble being converted by Franz. Please give me the armor when you no longer need it.

'What are you talking about, you bastard! You're going to train His Highness Murina? You're a princess, do you understand that?

Franz's face turned pale with agitation.

'I don't mean to be presumptuous, but it's impossible to survive in this world without power. Your Majesty is a renowned warrior. I'm sure you've inherited his talent. It would be a shame not to train. You'll regret it when the time comes. I always regret it too.

That was an amazing statement. Even a loyal vassal would never speak to the Emperor of Zebrudia like that. Even Chrysus, who was not familiar with human society, could see how out of line that statement was.
As long as he is training His Imperial Highness even after advising her, it is not acceptable to try and say it didn't work. In the first place, this talk was supposed to be a mere escort.

Hearing the bold proposal, His Majesty the Emperor stood up. Only his right eyebrow is lowered and a distorted smile appears on his face.



'Hmm...... is the first time I've received such an advice. But you have a point. I knew it was too early to tell, but as a member of the royal family, I must be strong. You can do that, can't you?

I felt an indescribable pressure in his sharp eyes. This is the prestige of being the emperor of a great power, and it's hard to believe that he absorbs less mana and material than Crus.
Yowaningen looked him straight in the eye and said firmly.

'It's impossible for me. But there are many members of the clan I belong to, including that Ark Rodin. Leave it to him, he will surely be able to make Her Highness a hero!






I'm stuck. I returned to my room and sat down deeply in my chair.
At first I just listened. I was going to turn down the next escort. But somehow, I found myself escorting and training Her Imperial Highness.
It was all due to my passive skills. I'm a passive person, so when things get troublesome or I'm in a tight spot, I take the job that's offered to me.

The guards are okay. Her Highness' bad luck seems to be much lower than mine, and it would be too heartless to blame her for everything and pretend not to know her. However, training is ...... hmmm .......

I'm sure you've got a lot to say, but I'll have plenty to say later. For now, let's plan our escort, sir.'

'Ah, Crus. You got it. I'm tired.

'............'

Krus frowns and silently walks behind me. Then, before I can escape, he applies a chokeslam.
He wraps his supple arms around my neck and squeezes.

Chokes are one of my weaknesses. Don't tell me that Morino Noble has perfected his body techniques? ......!

I'm not sure what to say, but I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that. It's hard ......?

The warding finger is triggered and finished, triggered and finished, slowly decreasing. It's not hard because there are still some warding fingers left, and that's not much in terms of time.
This is the technique Lucia used to use before she made Lucia Punch her main weapon. I stopped using it sometime ago, but it was completely my weakness. In just a few weeks, you've managed to pinpoint my weakness. ............... That's right!


I'm not sure if it's because I was in a hurry, but a revelation came to me. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

'Okay, I've got an idea.

'...... have you ever had a good idea that was really a good idea? It is.

The emperor's new assignment was to protect the princess and train her. Both are difficult tasks, and both require a great deal of responsibility, but we can change our minds.
Escorting and training.



In other words, escort training.




'Escort training. If we do both together, we can save time and I can focus on other things I need to do.'

'I don't understand, there's nothing else I have to do besides those two, sir!

'What?

'How are you going to do that in the first place, sir!

Of course, you'll have to ask the ...... ghost. It's not enough for me, Kryss and Kilnite, so we have no choice. I've always been indebted to the ghosts. If you can't train with ghosts, you can ask Ark after you return to the Imperial Capital. I'm both comfortable and sharp today.

Her Imperial Highness will be here soon with a change of clothes. I have to get across the ghosts before then.

I walked up to the kill night version of Alpha standing in the corner of the room and summoned the ever handy ghost of Citri.

'I'll give you an apprentice for a short time, Citri ghost.
