"Well then, I look forward to working with you."

The Great High King Ribbon smiled broadly and shook Linos' hand strongly with both hands. His face is smiling, but it is still a frightening face. In the end, he agreed to take care of King Maintia in Agartha, and Linos had to smile to hide his fear and the feeling of being in trouble.

A few hours before this, Linos brought up the subject to Rico and Matkal over breakfast. They were so astonished at the absurdity of the idea of having the current king in their custody that Rico and Matocal closed their eyes and thought about it. They concluded that they would leave the decision to Linos.

He was not very happy about it, and he moved to Agartha with May. It was a relief, at least, to see May next to him, dressed in her formal attire and beautifully made up by Liko, looking even more beautiful than usual.

The father-son meeting between the Grand King and the King of Maintia seemed to have lasted less than a minute.

"Father, I will study in Agartha for a while.

"Mm."

This was the only conversation that father and son had.

After confirming their intentions, Rinos decided that the king would be entrusted to the king's care, and that his name would be "study abroad," and he placed four conditions on the king.

The king's treatment would be left to Agartha.

The king shall be protected by the king, but Agartha shall not be held responsible in the event that the king is endangered by accident or otherwise.

The King's period of stay in Agartha shall be one year.

If the King has any problem, he can shorten the period of study at his discretion.

At first glance, the contents of the agreement seem to be quite irresponsible, but neither the King of Agartha nor the King of Maintia said anything about it, and the agreement was accepted without hesitation.

Afterwards, as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders, the King smiled and chatted with May, praised her presentation at the conference, and asked her various questions as much as time permitted, which she answered in good faith.

"......, right?　Wasn't I right?"

King Maintia spoke to Linos while looking at the Great High King, still smiling broadly. He looks at the king with a look of dismay and opens his mouth to the king.

This is unprecedented.

"Ha ha ha, it's okay. I'll try not to cause trouble for the king of Agartha. See?　Paterson."

The king turned to see a young man, one of his followers, waiting for him. He bowed reverently and spoke to Linos in a hushed, mumbling voice.

"With all due respect, my country will pay all the expenses for the king's stay. We will do our best to avoid causing any trouble to the King of Agartha, and we ask for your continued support.

"You may think it's obvious, but to those who knew my father, it's an extraordinary thing, you know?　After all, my father loves frugality and thrift. A man who never wastes a penny, he said he would hold all the expenses for me. Maybe there will be a natural disaster in the near future."

Kookook and the king laughs. Beside him, Patterson apologetically bows his head to Linos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"King Agartha thinks frugality is important, doesn't she?　You don't have to hide. It's written on your face. But you know what my father does with all the money he saves by cutting expenses?　Sure, they built schools and educated the people, but that was only part of it. Most of the money he saved was used for armaments and building castles. Thanks to this, our castle of Alysun has become unusually splendid.

The king looked at his father's back with a faraway look. Linos, in turn, looked at the great king. He used all of his small frame to ask Mei a question. It seemed to be about the preservation of crops.

"You know, ....... King Agartha.

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Patterson looking into Linos' face, with an expression of difficulty in saying what he was about to say.

"Um, ...... I'm very sorry to tell you this, but ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes?"

"It's about time my king reached his ...... limit. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Limit"?　...... Oh, there you go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Linos slowly shifts his gaze to King Maintia. He does not change his expression at all, his smile remaining the same as before.

"I heard that Agartha has a branch of Milaya, the famous brothel in the Heedata Empire. I heard that there are many kinds of women there. I would love to visit there."

"Its ....... If this continues, my king may have his way with the women who serve him in Agartha. ......"

"Oh, come on, Patterson, don't be rude. I'm supposed to have that much sense?"

"...... if you can do that, that would be great."

Linos watches this conversation between the master and servant with a look of dismay on his face. Then, shaking his head, he opened his mouth in a tedious manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's think about that for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Um, ...... there is one more thing. ......"

"What, you have more?"

"The ....... I'm afraid it would be a nuisance for security reasons if I were to spend all my time in the red light district. If possible, I think it would be best to bring a woman from the home country to take care of the king's personal affairs. ....... I am afraid that the Great High King will not allow it. So, I would like to ask King Agartha for her wisdom. ......"

Patterson bows his head in apology. Linos looked up at the ceiling, sighed, thought for a while, and then opened his mouth with a faraway look in his eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We will need a woman to take care of the cooking, washing, cleaning, and personal care. Why don't you invite that person from your home country?　If you don't have such a clever woman back home, you can tell the Great High King that I said he could hire her in Agartha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see!　...... If we refuse the recommendation of the King of Agartha, it is as good as saying that there are no witty women in our country. And if that is the case,....... Okay, I understand. I'll talk to the High King!　Thank you!　Thank you!"

"Oh, you don't have to bow so low anymore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you whispering about over there?

As Linos was talking to Patterson, suddenly the loud voice of the Great High King rang out. He came up to Linos with a great stride and clasped his hands tightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My son, please, my dear boy," he said. By the way, King Agartha has a good wife. I envy you, Ribbon!　Please come to our country once with Queen Meirias. Yes, one day you should hold that conference in our country. Then, please share your wonderful knowledge with the young people of our country.

The Great High King was clutching Linos' hand with such force that it hurt. Then, without relaxing his grip, he turned his attention to King Maintia and his followers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You, too, learn well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He slowly shifts his gaze to Linos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, then, I look forward to working with you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With these words, the great king walked with large steps again and left the room. As he passed by Mei near the door, he bowed to her and she smiled at him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Patterson quickly followed. After seeing him off, King Maintia slowly sat down on the sofa and spoke to Linos again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now, do you think Patterson can convince my father?　It will be a while before he comes back. Good, I was just about to have a talk with the king of Agartha. Tell me something interesting, will you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Interesting story?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'd love to hear about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The king gazes into Linos' eyes with a twinkle in them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you tell me a story that I find interesting, King Agartha, I will do anything you command.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Anything?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, anything. Anything I can do to help. If you ask me to take my life, I'll take my life.

Linos looked into the king's eyes. Then he exhaled slowly and opened his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, the point is to make them think it's funny?　...... Okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He closed his eyes and made a gesture of thinking for a moment, then opened them quickly and began to speak.

"Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived an old man and an old woman. The grandfather went to the mountains to harvest bushes, and the grandmother went to the river to wash clothes. While the grandmother was washing her clothes in the river, a big peach came floating down from the river. The grandmother took it home with her. Grandpa was surprised when he got home. Oh!　A big peach!　Grandpa, I picked them up in the river. Let's eat it now, Grandpa. Grandma cut the peach with a knife and found a cute little boy inside. Grandpa and Grandma named him Momotaro and took good care of him. ...... is a long story, so some parts are omitted. As Momotaro was walking along the road, a white dog came along. Momotaro-san, Momotaro-san, please give me one of those millet dumplings you have on your waist. Momotaro looked at the dog and said You are a very white dog. It's pure white. Even its tail is white. Even its tail is white. ....... Even the tail is white. Even the tail is white. ...... ...... How do you like it?　Interesting story!"

May is holding back her laughter. King Mainotia listened intently to Linos' story, and then pulled a sheaf of papers from his pocket. Then, as if on cue, one of his followers approaches the king and hands him a pen. He began to write something on the paper in his hand.

"Grandfather and Grandmother: ....... Bush cutter....... A kitchen knife...... Momotaro...... and more. A white dog....... His tail is also white....... Interesting story...... and more."

He nods and looks at the note. Then he looks at Linos again and opens his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you tell me a little more about the omission in the middle of the note?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The response was so unexpected that Linos couldn't help but shout.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't go anywhere else to talk about that!"

As if she couldn't take it anymore, May's laughter echoed through the room: .......
