Jikuu Mahou chapter 386: A new journey
「Elena...... si, sister...... that's...... I don't remember anything like that」
Somehow, the king began to get angry.
「Father. Hilda is a very good girl!」
「That doesn't matter!」
「Then what is it!」
Elena is kind of angry. It's a very unusual sight.......
「Elena. You're royalty! In spite of that, calling such a commoner sister. The royal authority won't be stained」
Even if such a thing is being said by the person, who doesn't have a fragment of authority.
And Hilda, who is listening to it, is really depressed. If he weren't Elena's father, I would've killed him immediately.
「Father. No matter how much you talk, I can't tolerate you talking bad about Hilda! If the authority of royalty is so important....... I'll quit being a royalty」
「What! Don't be stupid! You're not allowed to do that!」
No, the two stories are completely parallel. I have to do something somehow.
「Both of you calm down. Let's have a more constructive discussion」
「But, Seiji-sama」
「But what! Hilda is depressed」
「Hi, Hilda....... Sorry......」
Elena hugged Hilda.
「Now, next is the king」
「Wh, What is it? I didn't do anything wrong」
He's like a child.
「King. Let's have a more constructive conversation. How can you accept Hilda?」
「The royal authority is the most important. So, my daughter......」
「So! Tell me what Hilda has to do to be acknowledged」
「Hiii!」
I have a little killing intention.
「Conditions....... Can you tell me?」
「Un, Understood. That said」
The king began to formal and talks seriously.
「Those who have made great contributions to the country may be chosen as nobles. Then, if Elena calls her sister, the authority will not be hurt」
「What do you think is a great contribution?」
「To be a veteran in a war」
「War. Hilda was also active in the time of the Goblin King and the war with the Demon race」
「No, past achievements don't count」
That's an unreasonable story.
「Then, is there going to be a war again?」
「...... Not really......」
No! No!
「Then, how can we contribute to the country in a peaceful era without war?」
「For instance...... being an adventurer」
「HouHou. That sounds easy」
「Ah, wait! Because she shall become a noble...... it will be S rank! I'll admit her when she becomes an S rank adventurer」
「Elena, did you hear that? If Hilda becomes an S rank adventurer, she'll be admitted」
「Yes, I heard that!」
「No! That girl needs to be an S rank」
「I know. Hilda, what are you doing? To be admitted as Elena's sister, will you become an adventurer and try to aim to be S rank」
「Yes! I'll do my best!」
「Good! Let's all go to the Adventurer's Guild!」
「「Yes」」
「Emm...... really S rank......」
The king was muttering something, but ignoring him, we leave the audience hall.
-----
「Hey, Seiji」
Laila who had kept silent until now when going out from the audience hall has called out to me.
「Laila, what's wrong?」
「Are you really going to aim for S rank?」
「Hmm? What's the problem?」
「No one has ever been an S-rank adventurer」
「Eh? Really? Then, why does the S rank exist」
「I've heard that it was prepared as a way to make people dream」
「I see」
It's like a lottery that's not in the hit. Well, but we can manage.
「If it is Seiji. I think that it might be possible. So how can the girl really be an S rank」
「Yes, she can!」
I gave an immediate answer.
「Is, Is that so…...」
Laila has an expression that seems to be jealous somehow. Maybe she wants to be an adventurer?
-----
We came before the Adventurer Guild of the capital. I feel that I have been working as an adventurer for a long time.
I didn't do the activity as an adventurer at all after that because it was necessary to take the examination so that the rank was raised to C in order to enter the tower of the sunrise and become B rank.
And Hilda, who was a slave, didn't even register as an adventurer.
「Seiji-oniichan. Wait a minute」
Hilda stopped us when we were about to enter the Adventurer's Guild.
「What's wrong?」
「I....... To become an adventurer, I will work alone」
「Alone!? No, Hilda, it's dangerous!」
Elena worries.
「Because everyone will help me to become an S rank. Then I'm not going to be a good sister for Elena」
Do you care what the king said? I don't know how you feel, but
「Hilda. An adventurer is someone who acts in a party」
「It is only so for high-ranking adventurers. All low-ranking adventurers are working alone」
Umm, I can't argue.......
「Okay, go alone. However, it's up to D rank. If you go up to C rank, you will work together with a party. Okay」
「Yes」
「Se, Seiji-sama......」
「Hey, don't worry. It's Hilda」
「Hildchan, if you work alone, I'll lend you my knife」
Aya gives her knife to Hilda. The knife has killed a number of enemy's key points until now.
「I, this」
Elena, what the hell! She held out her cane of Asklepios.
Hey! Hilda truly turned it down.
「Take this」
This time it is the rod of magic. This is a rod that transforms the power of magic into an offensive force that was used well before. This is a good idea.
「This is from me」
I hand a magic stone of teleportation to Hilda for her coming home safely.
「When it's dangerous, come back with this」
「Seiji-oniichan, thank you very much」
Hilda put the items that we passed in her [storage bracelet]. She bowed to us and went into the Adventurer's guild alone.
