The King who’s the origin of Hironobu spending his lewd daily life called him.
No matter how high his position go, he can’t just go and ignore the King’s words.
So, Hironobo had Youko and Firana led him to the designated location.
「Just what on bread1 would it be?」
Hironobu asked Youko.
「I saw a convoy of carriage arriving this morning. There maybe a guest perhaps」
「And we would be introduced to the guest?」
「Rumors about Hironobu-sama spreads all over the country and it seems that it’s being transmitted to other counties already」
「That much!? I don’t think it’d be good for me to become too famous…」
There are various benefits to fame but it lets you shoulder risk at the same time.
(I just hope that it’s not someone troublesome)
Hironobu felt especially uneasy after this.
「But, I don’t think that the king would introduce someone who’d cause harm to Ozawa-kun. It should be okay」
Hironobu nodded at Youko.
He was near confirming it.
For the king, Hironobu who has the ability and raised the military gains is an important existence so he’s quite suited for the convenience.
He does as he likes on the confined Firana now also, he agrees with what Hironobu wishes for.,
Furthermore, there’s the aim for using him as an advertisement that the royal family is fighting with the otherworlder as well.
There are various speculations but the King’s and Hironobu’s relation isn’t bad.
You can say that there’s no possibility for the king to introduce some person he dislike.12
「Well, all of it is on the other side」
They rushed to the specified room when Hironobu finished speaking.
Arriving at the room after walking in the wide castle, there were two armed guards escorting there.
「Somehow, it’s heavily guarded. Is it a VIP?」
「The knight’s armor is of the neighboring country. It might be a general or a minister」
Firana answered Hironobu’s question.
Just as she said, numerous knights wearing unknown armor are included in the guards.
(Then, would it be about the alliance?)
The three people had advanced in front of the door while making a guess inside his head.
「I’ve taken Hironobu-sama as per His Majesty’s order. Please let us in」
When Firana said that, the knight who’s blocking ahead moved backward and opened the door.
There’re two people there when they entered inside.
The king with his usual dignified atmosphere and the other is a woman.
Her age is the same as youko and her features look neat with her burning red hair.
(I can’t see her as a minister. Then, she’s a general?)
The same time Hironobu looked at her, the other also stared at him as if appraising him.
「Well done, sit down the three of you」
The king interrupts with his words and they sat down.
「General, let me introduce to you. He’s the one who unified the summoned heroes, Ozawa Hironobu」
Since the king had introduced Hironobu, he showed a bowing appearance.
「This is General Margrit She came from the neighboring country to talk about the alliance」
「Margrit, best regards」
When she’s introduced, Hironobu’s vigilance was lifted.
Though Hironobu is the younger, she greeted him politely.
「Same here, best regards」
He greeted again and bowed.
「The rumors had reached our country too. After all, it’s the 20 man force that exterminates demons」
「That’s not my work however, I’m mostly a subordinate」
He didn’t tell about using slaves as he doesn’t know how she sees slaves in her country.
Hironobu doesn’t want to make her angry and lead the alliance into something not good.
He’s trying to save the King’s face in his own way.
