chapter 162
Epilogue (2)
The office is dark because the lights are turned off to avoid the eyes of others.
I couldn’t contain my passion at the unexpected report and hit the table.
“Failed, what do you mean!”
“Wow!”
bang! When a loud noise resounded, Persia, who had been dozing off, jumped up in surprise.
The jumping power of the S-rank summons was no joke, so it hit the ceiling, but fortunately, the palace building is special.
There was a soundproofing order, so the sound would not have leaked out.
“I have no face, my lord.”
In front of the desk, the maid and Sylvia in work clothes.
This is the first time they have failed to fulfill my orders.
Persia, who sensed the unusual atmosphere, froze and hid behind a pile of papers.
“I was so vindictive!”
“I’m still tracking, so take a little more time…”
“How many times is that sound?”
As I sighed and rebuked, even the excuses faded.
In the next moment, I stiffened as I felt a small doubt pierce my spine.
“Okay. Let’s go. You don’t have to report every failure. I hope to hear good news next time.”
“We will surely bring you satisfactory results.”
The two of them left the room with a determined expression on their faces, but…
The seeds of doubt have already been sown.
I can’t trust them anymore.
There will come a day when I will start to doubt the two of them.
I looked out the window and sighed in confusion, and Persia, who approached me cautiously from behind, asked in a crawling voice.
“Why, why do you do that, Master? What’s wrong?”
“No, that’s…”
Come to think of it, I did not explain the situation to Persia.
This case is not the pride of the family, but rather the opposite, so it is natural.
After hesitating for a while, I vomited out the story as if it were a complaint.
Now that I can’t trust the handmaiden and Sylvia, I have to borrow her power.
“Recently, I heard the news that dangerous information assets are spreading in the market… I sent two people to retrieve them, but no results yet.”
“A risky information asset?”
“Yeah. Something like a video summoning crystal. It’s an item that contains content that could destroy El Cloud if done wrong.”
“Yeah? Big, that’s a big deal.”
Persia trembled as if finally recognizing the seriousness of the situation.
I made up my mind and picked up the guy.
In this case alone, Medusha, Laurie, and even Ethel cannot be trusted.
“I’ll have to check it out myself. Will you guys help too?”
“No, of course! I’ll follow you all the way to hell.”
“Beep!”
Letty, who was in the teapot, also responded with a ferocious cry as she pushed the lid out.
I put Letty on top of the Persia and opened the window and let the two of them out.
I would like to go there myself, but it is not advisable for me to disappear from the palace at will.
There is no problem as we can communicate through the link anyway.
“Okay, let’s go.”
“yes!”
“Beep!”
Riding the fox, Lety quickly disappeared over the lawn of the royal palace.
The two of them often go out for a walk or take a nap, so there’s no question about them.
The guys who easily crossed the wall of the royal palace followed my instructions and headed for the city.
I even use the invisibility spell in case people notice it.
Needless to say, Letty was originally versatile… Now even Persia knows how to use simple spells.
On the streets of the city, cars and wagons mass-produced in the past year were leisurely competing for speed.
I’ve tried making one, but in our world, summoning beasts and summoning skills are so powerful that it doesn’t seem like a complete replacement.
Still, it will be quite useful in regions where there are no advanced summons.
Persia licks her tongue when she sees a chocolate flyer that has a familiar feel to her, then recalls her mission.
Upon graduation, Charlie returned to the Earl of El Cloud and built a chocolate factory, betraying everyone’s expectations.
It was unexpected that he paid back the money he had borrowed from me for the purpose of building the factory in just six months.
Its main product is chocolate, which has been improved so that even pets such as dogs, cats and birds can eat it.
“Um, where are you two going…”
“Beep!”
Letty, transformed into a corpse-stalker with a brief cry, picked up Persia and soared into the sky.
A summoned beast specialized in aerial reconnaissance.
The eyes of the birds of prey follow the maidservant and Sylvia with difficulty.
“Kik!”
“Oh, I found it. Wait… This is the Royal Grand Theatre, isn’t it?”
I expected the asset to be traded secretly, but…
After all, it’s the Royal Grand Theatre.
There’s no way the two of them haven’t noticed this until now.
“You’re really lying. I’m done.”
“Lord, Master…”
“Beep…”
Letty comforts her as if she should wait a little longer.
After breaking through the powerful guard spell and breaking into the grand theater, several familiar faces are seen.
The waitress and Sylvia sit proudly in their seats without even thinking of hiding themselves.
Even looking at it up to this point, I am full of spirit… Even Shabnak and other demons can be seen.
I gave them fully legal permanent residence in the kingdom in return for helping the rebellion… Now, to repay your favor.
My fists are already clenched.
“Have you ever come to see a performance…”
“It’s nonsense.”
Persia tried to defend the heinous rebels, but unfortunately today was a non-performing day.
As I turned my head a little further, Maria, Christine, Elfriede, and Elena were looking around the city.
The duo Ersa and Eolin came out of the academy.
There is even Celondel, whom I met during the summoning contest.
“These are all familiar faces.”
“There must be some misunderstanding. Even so, these people are all going to revolt…”
“It’s all wrong. We need to reorganize the Dimensional Watch right now…”
As they were chattering in a panic, Shabnak, who seemed to be the host, went up onto the stage.
Apparently, these rebels were holding a plausible secret auction.
What she held in her hand was none other than a video summoning crystal.
That’s what Sylvia and the maid lied that they couldn’t find it.
“Did I really lie? It’s too much…”
It was around the time that Persia also gave up defense.
When Shabnak announced the start of the auction, loud applause erupted.
not. There is still one last hope left.
The contents of that crystal may not be what I was looking for.
Fearing that the trust they have built up until now is completely destroyed, Persia and Letty are desperate for hope as they walk away.
Even if these two guys come and break in now, there’s no way we can stop that.
Feeling very devastated, I stretched out on a chair in the office and looked up blankly at the scene.
“Okay, let’s take a quick look at today’s auction! There are three items on offer! Some of them include the ones you’ve been looking for so much. I think it’s going to be the most amazing day in the history of our auction…”
As if the appearance he had shown me before was a lie, Shabnak exclaimed in a very uplifting voice.
The reactions of other people feel betrayed just as much as hers.
The nail that I forgot to cut pierced my palm and blood was oozing out.
Shabnak has revealed the identity of the first auction item.
“The first prize is… a stage video that His Majesty Lewis showed during the 1st year festival!”
“yes?”
Persia, who had a very serious expression on her face, suddenly tilted her head with a blank expression.
Letty looks at him with a similar expression.
It wasn’t the product I was watching, but that was also evidence of the rebellion.
As I watched Shavnak play, I reflexively closed my eyes, but I couldn’t help but hear a familiar singing voice.
“The summoned beast used by the Archduke, the Duke is using it today… Steno and Euryale. Control the sea route…”
“Ah, this!”
As I forcibly removed my eyelids, I faced myself dancing on the stage of the festival.
On the other side, Persia and Medusha were able to capture the laughter.
I don’t know who took the picture, but if I find out later, I will unconditionally put him to death.
While Persia, who later discovered the identity, was astonished, thunderous applause swept through the audience and the entire stage.
Medusha and Laurie, who joined at some point, are also enthusiastically cheering.
“It’s good to hear you again! I’ll bid for 3 Lewis!”
“… Master, if you make a mistake, El Cloud could be destroyed…”
“Is the destruction of El Cloud no big deal? If it spreads and then I commit suicide because I’m embarrassed, that’s destruction.”
“Oh, no. Don’t say anything like suicide…”
“Beep…”
Persia comforting me but giving me a pathetic look.
Whether I suffer terribly or not, the auction goes on.
It seems that this guy’s secret auction is using its own currency.
really varied.
“Yeah, the first prize won for 20 Lewis!”
“How the hell is 20 Lewis…”
“Then, the second product to drive the momentum! This time, our handmaiden submitted a special… A picture of His Majesty Louise as a child!”
There was less cheers than the video summoning fix, but a great response nonetheless.
The audience was not even half full, but the atmosphere was hotter than when the concert hall was full.
By the way, I really lived without it when I was young, so how else did you film that?
I couldn’t help but lament that when I looked at the pictures of when I wondered if I was 5 years old.
“The starting price is…”
“Three Lewis!”
“I am 5 Lewis!”
Now I know roughly.
That money can only be obtained by exhibiting products at the auction house here.
The arrogance that no matter how much money you bring in from the outside world is useless!
As I lamented the vague price of 8 Lewis, the last product appeared.
As is often the case with auctions like this, the final product is the real hero.
I was convinced that this time I would find what I was looking for, and I ordered the two of them with all my might.
“Persia, Letty. Block that much!”
“Oh, I see, Master! Stop it! You are all under arrest!”
“Piyo clothes!”
So that the courageous shouting of the guys who received my earnest request is disrespectful.
The two were suppressed immediately when the handmaiden gave an order with a strong expression on their face.
“Sit down without making a fuss.”
“Yep.”
“Beep!”
I am in charge of educating the etiquette of the summons in my house, so I can’t use my strength as the maid.
Did you mean to grow a little more?
I gave up everything and enjoyed Shavnak’s ambitious introduction.
“The main character of this auction! The last product… A legendary player who appeared like the wind in the 3rd summons contest and then disappeared.
I couldn’t hear any more and lost my mind…
The demon lord in my heart forced me to wake up and ordered Persia.
“Persia! Bid for 30 Luis!”
“No, the Demon Lord was doing it too?”
The Demon King who pretends not to listen to my protest.
In the end, I was promised the retrieval of the video by appearing at the auction house and singing.
