Episode 358
“Menamaya.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Have you received a lot of blood?”
Menama paused for a moment.
It’s not that I didn’t know his intentions, it’s that I knew his intentions too well.
Let’s nod our heads soon.
“Let go of it all.”
“……entire?”
“Uh. Let’s fill the vampire kids’ bellies today.”
Because.
“Because a new king has been born.”
There is a difference between an order and a request.
Jack asks for favors when he needs to.
And now it was a situation where he had to give an order, not a request, and Jack gave the order.
If it’s Jack, that’s the level he’s in.
And the two men realized Jack’s determination not to accept any dissent.
“Don’t do that.”
“I will do that.”
That’s how it was sorted out.
Jack carried Charlotte in his arms and walked towards the vampire palace where the girl was supposed to be.
Then it stopped for a moment.
“ah.”
I turn my head and look at Menama again.
“There will be some kids who want to be greedy. There will be some kids who want to climb up.”
Although Jack’s words were meaningless, Menama seemed to notice.
Menama looks at Jack, his expression slightly hardened.
“Please make sure it doesn’t come my way. I’m asking you to do this, but it’s not that hard, is it?”
Menama immediately said:
“It will be sorted out within today.”
Behind Menama, about 500 meters away, was the current dwarf king Khalid with a very stern expression.
Jack looked at him for a moment, then took a step forward.
But four masters followed Jack.
“You guys stay and mediate. Catch and kill the troublemakers or whatever you want.”
Jack didn’t care about what happened behind the scenes.

In this place, how many people would ignore what I say and act like crazy or a crazy bitch?
Jack could bet everything on not having a single one.
Jack, walking like that, looked down at Charlotte, who was sleeping with a calm expression.
Our little one sleeps really well.
Jack’s heart started pounding slightly, but he didn’t care.
Because I felt that the world was definitely changing.
Jack’s head, who changed the world by sacrificing his body without anyone knowing.
A small hand gently sweeps it away.
Valentine’s Day.
She, the demon of the past and the pinnacle of the past world, smiles gently.
[Thank you for your hard work.]
Jack smiled a hollow smile, one he had never shown to anyone.

A day has passed.
I was in the vampire kingdom, but I’m not sure if I should really call it a kingdom.
It was old and even collapsed here and there.
Its original appearance must have been magnificent, but it looks a bit strange now.
But the inside was clean.
As if someone had been cleaning it constantly.
When I asked who did it, Deva Lionel smiled awkwardly.
“I did it.”
“okay?”
“Yes. If the master of the castle were to come, I would at least clean the interior so that he could rest comfortably.”
He nodded slightly and stared blankly at the sleeping Charlotte.
“… … May I ask when you will wake up?”
Deva’s tone of speech had changed.
He used to use a unique grammar like Haoche, but now he speaks politely in the continental common language. Hmm. When will he wake up?
“I don’t know. I’ve always been a sleepy person, but I think I’ll sleep a little longer this time.”
He raised his hand and gently stroked Charlotte’s forehead.
You’re making others worry.
This jerk.
It was at that moment that I was looking at the guy.

Deva, who was behind me, stood up for a moment, opened a door, brought out a set of clothes from there, and handed them to me.
Black robe.
It had no hood and only a small string that could be tied at the front, so I wonder if it would be right to call it a robe.
I don’t know for sure, but I guess it wasn’t the teacher.

[This is the robe worn by the Supreme King.]
“Ah… … You know.”
After listening to the conversation between Deva and the Master, I asked the Master.
“Is this the robe worn by the Supreme King?”
The Master, who had been sitting at Charlotte’s bedside, slowly got up from his seat and extended his hand to Deva.
Deva immediately handed the robe over to the Master, who looked at it in his hand for a moment.
[The vampires called the former king who handed over the throne to Jinjo the Supreme King. This robe is the clothing that symbolized the Supreme King. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.]
I glanced at the grove.
First, a basic warming magic was cast to regulate the body’s temperature, and in addition, lightening and strengthening magic were also cast.
Then he glanced at Deva.
So why did you bring the robe that the Grand Prince wore?
When I asked with my eyes, he answered.
“Since you brought Charlotte, I personally thought it would be a good fit.”
It was a really simple, clear and neat answer.
So, are you asking me to become the Grand Prince or something like that?
The teacher hands me a robe, laughing terribly.
I couldn’t refuse.
I’m okay with anything my teacher gives me.
He accepted it and hung it up.
A fairly long robe that reaches down to below my knees.
Let’s close the front door lightly, and the teacher says something.
[It suits you well.]
Let’s look at Deva.
“It suits you well.”
It feels like a fashion show.
But I guess that’s what I’ll do since they suit each other well.
I glanced at the full-length mirror over there, and, well… … it seemed like it suited me pretty well.
It was when I was laughing like that.
The door opened and Benedict came in.
“Confucius.”
“Uh. Why?”
It’s a new thing, but I like things to be very simple and clear, just getting to the point rather than adding details.
Benedict is a guy who knows my tendencies.
The guy got straight to the point.
“The Dwarf King has changed.”
“okay?”
“Yes. Khalid-Amur died this morning, and Crown Prince Rogers-Amur also died. The cause was that the blue dragon Stacy Adam fired its breath yesterday, and the impact hit both of them… … .”
I raised my hand and cut him off.

“Other than political reasons, what’s the real reason?”
“… … Menama-Amur, who has ascended to the throne, led the knights of the royal guard and killed the two. The actual killings took place last night, and the funeral was held this morning. Menama was just promoted to first in the royal line. And tomorrow, the coronation ceremony will take place.”
Yeah, it’s so convenient when everything is organized so neatly.
however.
“Is that the end?”
“No. Menama asked me to convey something to the prince.”
“What is it?”
“He asked me to definitely attend tomorrow.”
Attendance… … .
Well, the date is too vague.
Tomorrow is the 15th.
I have to attend the summit at the Teslan Palace, but it seems like I won’t be able to attend Menama’s coronation ceremony.
“And this is just my personal opinion, I guess.”
“I guess?”
“The pro-Menama faction, including Menama, who currently hold power, seemed eager to strike a deal with the Continental Battlefield.”
therefore.
“Do you want to go to the continent? Do you want to play in the big water?”
“We can no longer use vampires as miners, so we need to recruit new miners, and it seems like there are several conflicting interests.”
He nodded.
“Tell Harold about that. He’ll figure it out. And tell Menama that I’ll come by tonight.”
Benedict was about to turn around with his head bowed.
“you.”
“……yes?”
“Did you break the wall?”
Benedict, who had been standing in an awkward position, opens his eyes wide.
also.
“I’m not awake yet. I’m just… … .”
“Did you see it?”
“Yes. I don’t know how to explain it well, but… … I guess I should say that the wall in front of my eyes that I couldn’t see before is now visible. It hasn’t been that long. My eyes were opened when I saw Charlotte fighting the dragon… … That’s how it is.”
I know what that is.
Literally, that was like looking at a wall.
Breaking or climbing over that wall will raise your level. Right now, Benedict is a beginner master.
Looking at that confident expression, I think I’ll move up soon. To intermediate level.
I didn’t want to give away any empty promises.
“Really? Try a little harder. I hope we have something to celebrate soon.”

Let’s say this with all sincerity. The guy nods his head once more.
The guy who opened the door and went out looked at me for a moment as he reached out to close the door.
“I forgot to tell you this.”
“What is it?”
“That black robe suits you well.”
Before I could answer, the door closed.
So I just laughed.
There’s a saying that goes like that.
The completion of all fashion is the face.
It’s nothing special, it’s just okay.

That night, I was having dinner with Menama at a bar near the capital, not in the underground city.
Let’s tear off the chicken leg and drink the milk.
Menama says a word.
“You eat well.”
Well, well.
I’ve been feeling this way for a while now, but I think dwarven food suits my taste better than I thought.
Perhaps because they are a race that is so good at making things, their cooking skills are also amazing.
He gulped and swallowed the milk down his throat.
however.
“Aren’t you going to eat? Should I eat it?”
Menama handed me the plate that was in front of him.
He tore at the meat again without any hesitation.
Menama looks at me with curious eyes.
“I don’t know much about humans, but do you call someone like you a rubber band?”
Well, well.
Rubber band?
“What does that mean?”
“When I first saw you, you were quite thin. Then the next day, I saw you and you had put on quite a bit of weight. Then, when you killed the dragon and restored the true ancestor, Charlotte, you became thin again.”
In an instant, he finished off the plate and pushed the bowl to the side.
A new plate in my sight.
This time it was a soup made with chicken breast, and I picked up a spoon as soon as I saw it.
It looked pretty tasty.
“But now, I feel like I’m gaining weight in an instant when I eat. I’ve heard it somewhere, a rubber band body. Is that right?”
I ended up laughing faintly.

What about rubber bands?
“I used up a lot of strength. So I’m recovering by eating something. Just think of it that way. Or, just think of it as me eating a lot because I’m growing.”
I’ve already emptied seven plates.
And now in the kitchen, the dwarf chef is quickly preparing another dish.
I think it was called roast duck.
I’m kind of looking forward to it.
“Recovering strength… … I see. Before that, I think I should first thank you. Because it was thanks to you that I was able to become king.”
I waved my hand roughly.
It was inevitable that Menama would become king anyway.
Among the dwarves, there is no leader like him.
“It was just a matter of time anyway, so what’s the thank you for? More importantly, did your conversation with Harold go well?”
Menama nods.
“It went well, but he was saying something a little strange.”
“A strange sound?”
“It’s not the Continental Battlefield, but a place I’ve never heard of called Jack & Harold’s Top, and they’re talking about having an ‘exclusive distribution’. Did that guy Harold get excommunicated from the Continental Battlefield?”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
I think it was around lunchtime.
Harold came and talked to me.
Let’s make a new one at the top.
I gave the okay after hearing the general story, but I guess I didn’t tell Menama in detail.
