nEvan D. Sherden. Receives the King’s Orders (2)

nIn the shaking wagon, Evan was jamming his hands with a sigh of deep frustration.

n“Whew.”

nThe highly noisy sound was that of the slimes being killed.

nThey continued dying without even having a chance to scream once. It had been a long time since the killing success rate had exceeded 100%.

nHow to act as a noble? He had already mastered what he needed for this ceremony. The inside of the wagon was so boring that he tried to find something to do as it would not be over soon.

n“Why was I nominated?”

n“Don’t look down on Your Majesty, Evan. His gaze is all over the country. In fact, we can’t even crack down on the mouths of the many dungeon explorers.”

n“OK, those damn guys.”

nMost of the dungeon explorers knew that Evan was actively coming to the Brotherhood pharmacies since quite a while ago.

n

n

nEven if only one of them had spoken properly, it would not have been difficult to connect Evan with the Brotherhood Pharmacy. Few people knew the truth, but still, it was leaked.

n“Those who risk their lives and explore with the aim of becoming stronger in the dungeon, they may be different, but most of them were those who went there looking for money. It’s no wonder that they’re selling out invaluable information for a few pennies.”

n“I know I can’t help it, but if I think I’m getting more attention than I need, my stomach hurts. Ugh.”

n“It starts now, Evan. Eat firmly. It’s impossible to hide your extraordinariness in the first place, so you should learn to take their attention out of your mind and heart. Didn’t Abby teach you already?”

n“Yes.”

nIt could be said that what the Marquis said was knowledge at the pinnacle of the aristocratic class and royal studies.

n‘Have the attitude you deserve as a ruler.’

nThe problem is that Evan had to come up with that attitude, standing in front of the highest nobles and the king.

n“This is my official debut stage, but the difficulty is too great, father.”

n“Actually, I think so too. I’m sorry. If I knew this would happen, I would have had you meet other nobles in advance.”

nThe Marquis just smiled bitterly. Even if Evan was not feeling unusual, he didn’t know that the king would even call a child with himself, but the king’s word was law.

nIn fact, he also called the pharmacist Bernard with Evan, but the Marquis was not a fool.

n“He is uncomfortable and exhausted from hard work, so he cannot move long distances, so I will only see you with my son.”

nThat’s enough. Even the king must know his place. Nevertheless, if you try to touch Bernard again, you are the king and nothing else. The temperament of the Marquis of Sherden was well known throughout the Nobility.

n“Evan, remember. Just because your Majesty is in front of you, you don’t have to hide yourself more than you need, and you don’t need to be constricted. Of course, you must have the manners you have been taught. But other than that, you just need to be Evan D. Sherdon, whom Abby knows. You know what I mean?”

n“Yes, father.”

nBehind him was his father, a strong Marquis that governed The Dungeon City, so it means that he could trust him completely and express himself at will. Who would not want such a wonderful father!

nEvan deepened his respect for the Marquis. In the meantime, slime training continued. Although they had already seen through his slime training, it was still a bit odd, even if that was it, the Marquis and others were pretending not to see his jamming hands. Already it was part of Evan’s personality for them.

n“Royal city.”

n“..Oh, I have never seen it.”

nOn the other hand, Shine and Belois, who sat next to Evan, were muttering the same words blankly as they had since the beginning of the journey, watching the scenery flowing through the opposite side’s windows.

nIt was three days after the wagon started, and for three days, they were muttering the same words:

n“But master.”

nShine first looked back at him and said. Confident that it is a very natural behavior.

n“It is a royal city. It is the center of the country. This is the first time for you too, are you not excited?”

n“There must be a lot of people and buildings.”

nBelois also carefully added.

nAt the current age, her appearance had become more mature, and she had become calmer, but now one couldn’t find any traces of such coolness and calm in her.

nIt’s as if she went back to when she was seven when they first met, including how she used to hide behind Evan’s sleeves.

n“Royal city is also a place where people live, so what should I do? Just think it will just be a little denser in population. Ah… … I’ve never been there, but now I will be, so what?”

n“Evan is right. It is not that different from The Dungeon City.”

nThe Marquis smiled happily as he saw the three talking to each other and gave a supplementary explanation.

n“This city where you were born and raised is as well developed as the king’s. No, it can be said that it is much more developed than the royal road in that it has an environment suitable for those exploring dungeons. Magic tools, armament shops, various supply stores using magic stones, taverns where food and drinks from the world are gathered, and an entertainment district. Hmm, actually, you haven’t looked at dungeons yet, right?”

n“Yes. You haven’t allowed it yet.”

nShine quickly tells the Marquis, then looks back and sticks out his tongue so that only Evan can see it. Evan grinds his teeth.

nMaybell, who was trying with her utmost effort to go to the royal city this time, but someone was needed to handle the brothers’ pharmacy business so she could not come.

n“Well, Evan was wise, since Evan vowed not to tease him a lot later, the Marquis smiled lovingly and sided with Evan.”

n“Dungeons overflow with strong people. It would be fortunate if they were all polite, but there are rude among them, though there is no one who tries to do evil before the eyes of the Marquis’ surveillance. Still, If you wrong them somehow, it could be a big deal.”

n“That, it is OK.”

nIsn’t that the reason why Shine and Belois lost their parents and went to the slave market immediately? That’s why they escaped their fate, but ironically, they still didn’t know the darkness of The Dungeon City.

n“Dungeons are places where blood flows. A struggle to save your life happens every day in that place. So it’s unavoidable that people become harsh and violent. No matter how much you try to block crime in advance and try to catch the criminals, you cannot stop everything. So the best thing is not to go to such dangerous places.”

n“Until we get stronger, you mean?”

n“Right. Is that also what Evan said?”

n“Yeah.”

n“OK. That’s also a very good word.”

nThe Marquis looked satisfied. Seeing that he was educating his attendants’ mindset so clearly, he didn’t seem to have to worry about his second son.

n“If you become stronger, what will be scary about going through dungeons? If you have at least enough power to get yourself out of trouble under any circumstance, who can’t you meet, and where can’t you go? That’s a dungeon. Whatever you try to do in there, you have to have strength.”

n“Yes, I will keep it in mind.”

n“I have nothing to teach you. Yes, you are doing very well with Evan. In the future, I’ll just trust you. Oh yeah, we were talking about the royal city.”

nWhen they returned to the story of the royal city, the eyes of Shine and Belois began to twinkle. Now they looked like children again.

n“Unlike the dungeon city where battles and warriors are gathered, the royal city is a place where all kinds of people gather. There are people with different clothes, different languages, and different values. Of course, there are also many such facilities. A variety of clothing stores, a variety of restaurants, and shops that sell products from various countries. Oh, the restaurant is not bad even though it is in The Dungeon City.”

nMarquis, who only seemed to have enjoyed aristocratic dinners all his life, actually liked restaurants, pubs, and street food in The Dungeon City.

nHis favorite thing recently was the monster skewers Evan bought him.

n“I want to see it quickly.”

n“Only on the outside, they are all the same inside. All the stores will be similar. Still, If you want to go there, that is also the best. It will just make you think that you want to go home quickly! Because I know I already want to go home.”

nEvan didn’t know what Shine expected, so Evan lowered his expectations overall. “Bocchan, can’t you really be just excited about it?”

n“But it’s better to be disappointed in advance than to go and be disappointed, is not it?”

n“Variety… Clothing store…”

n“Oh, Belois. Do you have any clothes you want? Then we shall go to the royal road boutique together.”

n“Go? I dare not take your time and budget.”

nAt Evan’s suggestion, Belois suddenly regained her senses, leaving his shirt sleeves and blushing.

n“OK. You promised you would do what you want to do. I’ve never forgotten.”

n“Young master…”

nAs Evan’s smile filled with pure sincerity without any insults, Velua’s cheeks turned red. “Sister, now is she?’

nShine had a rotten look at Evan’s attitude that was blatantly different from when he was dealing with him, but he couldn’t help it. The level of the two’s relationship was different.

n“Haha, yes. Boutique would be nice too. Because shopping for women takes a long time, Evan. You will have to do good escorting. If necessary, pass on Abby’s tips.”

n“Yes, father.”

nAt the Marquis and Evan’s words, who treated her as a woman that should be escorted, she twisted her body a little uneasily because she could not stand the embarrassment.

nThe Marquis exchanged a smile with Evan after seeing her cute look and said

n: “Evan, if there is something else you want to do or want to buy, tell me how much money you need. I can’t publicly commend your achievements, so I’m going to have to give you a prize even in such a way.”

n“Thank you, father. Yes, I’ll tell you if it happens.”

n“Huh? Say no matter how much, no matter how much!”

n

n

nEvan didn’t reject it even if they seemed empty words.

nOf course, he also brought a lot of money from the brothers’ pharmacy business. So much that the Marquis would be stunned if he knew about it.

nIn fact, the memories of his previous life contained all the information of elements and hidden treasures. To buy or secure all of them, the more money there was, the better!

n‘It is unfair to be dragged to the royal city, but you should get benefit from this!’

nOriginally, I would have tried to come here a little later, but since I was dragged here now, this was as if the heavens had already decided, “It is now!” It was time to harvest the treasures.

nThis way, he could get all the treasures by playing as the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 3 and 4, as well as all the elements that the protagonists of Yo-Ma Great War 1 and 2 might have missed.

n“I’m not in a position to refuse the treasures of the main characters. Besides, even if the main characters aren’t really real in this world, there are many places to get treasures or performances, either way!”

nIn a sense, It can be said that even bigger jackpots are hiding here than The Dungeon City, The Royal City was flowing with milk and honey for Evan.

nEvan’s intense desires were running wild for quite a long time in the pleasant carriage while heading there.
