Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Just before we enter the town, I find one place where the grass is unnaturally placed.

『...Do you think we should go through with it?』

『The people at the harbor said that bandits would show up, so I think this will bring them out』

『If they are bandits, they might have some good items.... Things they collected from the villagers』

『To sum it up, you've done it, guildmaster!』

Oh dear. Well, let's see what kind of trap it is.

When we pass over the top, a noose appears. Disappointing. And then bandits appear.

Bandit Lv20

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

So the bandits are monsters.

"Hyahaha! Caught! Stupid!"

"If you want to save this guy's life, you're going to have to give something for moneyーーgyaaaaa!?"

Darley's blue flame burned the bandit by the rope.

"Na!? Wh, What!? That horse!"

"Rotten bastard~"

"Run away~!"

"O, Oh? Can't you move?

It's the shadow sewing of Gin and the others. Now...

"Who called me an idiot?"

"Th, This guy!"

"That's you! You're the worst! You!"

"It wasn't me! So help me"

There's no way I'm helping you. I'm gonna burn them all with blue flames.

"Why...even us..."

"Because you're the ones who started the fight"

"T, Terrible...gakutsu"

We don't deserve to be called terrible by bandits. By the way, there were no items.

Finally, we arrived at the capital. Sojirou talked with the gatekeeper.

"The emperor has told me about you. You are welcome"

We were able to enter the capital. But more importantly, the emperor told you? What do you mean? I thought he had not contacted me.

When I entered the capital, I found it deserted...all the stores were closed. It's sad to see the main street so empty.

"...The truth is it's really quite lively, you know? Lots of stores are lined up in a row, and people are eating and walking around"

"I'd love to see that scene. So I should go see the emperor now?"

"Yes. And I would like to have the medicine and food that you used in the port town.

Then Gin said something outrageous.

"Is it okay if it's just the guildmaster? I'd like to take a look around the town"

"I think we'll be fine. Just don't start a brawl or anything like that"

"I understand. I'll see you later. Guildmaster~"

What a fellow! I wanted to see it, too, but everyone really split up!

As a result, I was the only one in the castle...terrible. Inside the castle were a lot of warlords. It's a mess of eras...you never know what kind of person you'll find in an emperor...this.

And finally we met the emperor of this country. The emperor was an intelligent man with a beard, about 30. He held a scepter in his hand.

This man...no way.

"You have traveled a long way to see me. My name is Emperor Umayato. You may call me Prince Shotoku"

That's what he would have said! If the man who wrote Japan's first constitution is still alive, it is no wonder he is at the head of the country.

Furthermore, the exchange with the gatekeeper earlier...it's no wonder that Prince Shotoku would have foreseen my arrival. There are so many legends about Prince Shotoku.

"It's my first time meeting you. I am the guildmaster of the guild 『Liebling』in Freetia, the country of freedom. I am the summoner Takuto"

I'm acquainted with the kings of the continent, as you might expect. I have many things to tell you, but for now I would like to buy the medicines and food you are making"

"I understand. Is this enough food for now?"

I put out the food that I had accumulated in my inventory. The lady and the people around me were in an uproar when they saw this. But Prince Shotoku remained calm.

"I've already prepared the money for you. Your amount should be just right"

So everything is just as he read it...huh? The amounts don't match.

"You used the medicine in the port town, didn't you? The amount for that is also included"

I see. Then it's exactly the amount Ruin-san decided. That's solid.

"I am sure...then, please accept it. What would you like to do with the medicine? There is not much left, so if you guide me, I will use it myself"

I hate to use a guest, but I'm afraid I have my hands full distributing the ingredients...I'm sorry, can you help me? I can arrange a guide for you"

"Understood"

"What are you guys doing? Get the ingredients to the capital as soon as possible"

『Y, Yes!』

Prince Shotoku stopped those who were hurrying to carry the ingredients.

"Wait. I forbid you to give the villagers' food to those who have taken it from them. If you meet them, tell them. I know everything"

Oh...scary. That's a great threat.

"The others can have the food. I would like to speak with him alone for a while. Everyone step back"

"B, But we can't leave the emperor alone!"

"You think I'm in danger?"

"N, No! I beg your pardon!"

You're leaving him alone...is that what you want? No, I don't think I can win because he's giving off a hell of an atmosphere.

Then Prince Shotoku suddenly sat cross-legged.

"Now, there's no one left in my way. Let me eat ramen!"

He kicked them out because he wanted to eat ramen! That was the moment when the image of Prince Shotoku was completely destroyed.
