Unmotivated Hero's Tale

The afternoon of the third day when we arrived at Gennard's mansion.

Yui was in the garden of the Duke of Rhine's residence, sprinkling his coffee with one hand for reading.

"Not at all. The whole world is gone."

Yui grows big when she squeals like that.

The residence of the Duke of Rhine is large enough to accommodate ordinary noble mansions, even if the area of the garden alone.

In such a vast garden, Yui found a large shade of trees where he could relax, and he was having a relaxing afternoon underneath.

But the graceful and lazy routine Yui continued to admire would disappear by sudden visitors.

"It's tough, senior!

When he finds Yui relaxing by bringing a chair and table into the shade of a garden tree, Eince rushes to let him out of breath, because it was after he had searched around the house.

"What's the matter, Eince? It doesn't exist on such a lovely day in such a hurry. Just calm down."

"It's not if you're saying that! Senior, read this."

Exhaling, Eince offers Yui a single envelope.

But with that envelope in his eyes, Yui had some ominous feeling.

"Is this it? Something tells me when I read it, it doesn't seem like it says a lot..."

When I received the envelope and retrieved the letter while saying so, I reluctantly dropped my gaze to the text.

As soon as he did, Yui's complexion instantly turned blue and white, and he opened his mouth as he pulled his cheeks apart.

"... Aince, is this some kind of joke? It seems King Orado wants to see me."

"No, it's not a joke...... King Orado really calls for you, Senior."

As if to crush Yui's pale expectations, Eince mouths the request for the interview.

Meanwhile, as soon as he heard the word, Yui held his head with both hands and shook his neck left and right as if escaping reality.

"You're lying... I'm not even a nobleman. I've only seen the king speak at New Year's Eve events far away, and I've hardly even heard of him."

"Seniors are always forced to make excuses for their work and skip... but I hear they've only attended King's Speeches with all military participation once"

"... that's... you're right"

Yui leans down with his head in his arms when Aince points that out with a shudder.

But he turned to Yui, who tried to escape reality, and the words of further pursuit were unleashed over Eince.

"This is a message from Uncle Armad." Immediately look over your official clothes for tomorrow's viewing and ask Eince to slap the manners of the Royal Palace ". Anyway, we're already keeping the carriage waiting outside to arrange official clothes. We're on our way."

"Why am I seeing His Majesty the King like this? It's not my job to be left behind."

"Seniors have already returned from the left transition, so please give up. Come on. We don't have much time until tomorrow, so we'll hurry. By the way, as soon as I get back from buying clothes, I'll keep doing my manners auditions. Don't think you can sleep today."

When he pronounces himself likely to head to Yui, who remains on the spot, Eince rushes straight out of the spot.

Totally caught in unexpected circumstances, Yui exhaled a great sigh and looked up to heaven with grieving eyes.

The next day, Yui was dressed in unfamiliar military uniforms and refrained from appearing in front of the Royal Castle's chamber while swinging a sense of misplacement around her somewhat.

First, when the name is called from the inside of the chamber, reply and wait on the spot.

Then when the door opens, step out of your right foot and walk to the center of the room, on one knee, lowering your head and waiting for your voice to hang.

Since yesterday Yui had been forced to practice this series of motions over and over again.

Yui came to think of the fact that Aynth's training, including other manners, would not allow any compromise and that he was the son of Gennard, who would not compromise on his duties.

"Yui Istarz 4th"

"Yes."

Yui remembers his training last night and waits on the spot.

Then the door in front of him opened and a red carpet headed under the king jumped into his sight.

If you follow that carpet with your eyes from in front of you, you will be asked a small question ahead of you about King Orado and Princess Elise, who will refrain from doing so on his side.

Yui lowered her eyes softly to avoid hitting her rudely and began walking around the carpet to avoid making any noise.

And when you stand one knee along the liturgy just as you reach the center, you wait for the king's call as it is.

"Yui Istarz, raise your face."

In response to that call, Yui slowly raises her gaze.

Ahead of raising his gaze that way, a magnificent man with an overflowing hegemony stared at Yui with powerful eyes.

"Is that better Yui Istarz fourth? Well, unlike the rumors in the military, you look serious."

I got a little anxious about what kind of rumor they heard, but it was easy to imagine that it wasn't a very good rumor anyway.

Either way, she thinks she can't do anything about it now, and Yui smiles bitterly in her heart.

"Well, I don't care about rumors or anything. Yui Istarz, thank you from this Orado heart for saving my daughter better"

"It's a waste of time."

In response to Orado's words of gratitude, Yui rushes to respond when he bows his head again.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so modest. Okay, Isterz. This time I called, of course, I wanted to see the face of Sora, the benefactor of my daughter's life, but that's not all. Actually, I wanted to ask you for a job."

"Work…? What the hell is it like?

When Yui asks Orado that way, he looks at Elise next door with chills.

"That's a bit of a special job... specifically, I'm thinking about having our Elise babysitter at the helm."

"Ko, are you babysitting?

Listening to an unexpected Orado statement, Yui is struck as if he had been hammered to the head as he lowered.

"Oh, this Elise is a good year too, come on...... no, it's pretty lacking in calm. I'm trying to keep some of your troops as a guide."

"Father. Isn't it terrible that you're restless!

"Fool! A calm daughter is suddenly pushed against the local territory of our country and even kidnapped? Think about where you stand and what's around you in the future and weigh in a little more!

Hearing Elise's defense, Orado emits a similar rage on the spot to thunder.

But Elise turned that way because she was accustomed to his thunder, or because she didn't seem particularly concerned.

Having seen such a daughter's condition, Orado exhales one sigh as weakened, and opens his mouth straight to Yui.

"Istartz, this child is not yet grown up like this. I'm also sorry to ask you to do this again to the Lord who saved my daughter the other day... could you please be my guest?

The moment she hears the question, Yui speaks out that she is convinced that it will be absolutely troublesome.

But Yui was also not stupid enough not to know what denying the King an immediate favor meant.

That's why I swallow the refusal response that came out.

And with a slight gaze up, Yui saw the anxious eyes of the orbitless princess flashing next to Orado, hesitating to say one response.

"... Your orders, I accept them"

"Right! Will you take it on?"

When she hears Yui's reply, Orado smiles back at her expression and Elise changes her cloudy expression.

"Yes. However, as things stand, I think the Kingsguard forces are providing the princess with close protection, but should I leave that area to them?

"No, I intend to entrust it to the Lord, including this child's escort. So at this point, think about creating a whole new unit for Elise. Your name is... let's call it SS."

"SS...... is it"

Create a new unit named SS separate from Kingsguard.

Stunned by Orado's remarks like that, Yui disrespectfully turned to the king and listened back as he was.

As a result of the expansion of the forces of the Ministry of Magic, there have been examples in recent years of departments that were originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Army, such as Kingsguard units, being transferred to the Ministry of Magic.

But in this country, where the form of organization of the army has become rigid, there is not a single example of a new military organization being created in the last few decades.

That is why Yui's surprise was also inexorable.

"Oh, it's SS. The Lord intends to make you captain of it. Because of the combination with other departments, the position of captain was placed fourth or higher, further promoting your Lord. Well, think of it as a small thank you from me. I need to fill the army and the royal family with the necessary personnel and budget, but basically, I don't mind you consulting with this kid and deciding to make it easy for you."

Every word of Orado shocks Yui as if he's punching her in the head.

And the fact that he was given discretion in securing personnel from a budget compromise was driving him completely to the brink of glocky.

Because if such authority is given to a newly established unit that has broken the custom, it is easy to imagine with what eyes it can be seen from other departments.

And roughly estimating the amount of work that had to be done, including a compromise with those guys, a headache storm danced out in Yui's brain as soon as possible.

"Then I expect you to help my daughter with everything, including Elise's escort."

As if he did not know Yui's such intense affliction, King Orado withdrew from the sight when he grinned satisfactorily.

Yui, who was thus left on the spot, was unable to move off the spot for much of the shock.

"Looks like you surprised me more than I thought."

A voice directed toward Yui who remains solidified like a stone statue.

The hit Elise slowly walks over and smiles at him.

"No, I lost my hips rather than be surprised. Sometimes the other day, why don't you ask me... why bother building a new unit or something? If you wanted to do something, I don't think you could have done it in the form of running the Kingsguard that you have now."

Yui also felt that Elise was buying more about herself than she was capable of.

But things like creating a new organization until he broke his previous habits were completely beyond his imagination.

"Then no. Even if it's a Kingsguard, it's my level of escort. Class of troop leaders. They don't have the authority to do what I want, and it's unfortunate to ask people who belong to a rigid organization to do that. Because what I'm looking for is an organization where each of us can move flexibly at our own discretion."

"... that's what you mean when you crave something close to a private unit? I know it was His Majesty's intention to do this, but the Kingsguard would have resisted quite a bit."

Thinking of the Kingsguards in the form of being scorned, Yui slowly shook his neck to the left and right.

"Well... somewhat. But there were other security failures the other day, and they didn't resist very strongly because they wanted to strengthen their security."

Lute, a Kingsguard, also feels sorry for him, and Yui opens his mouth to Elise to check again.

"How dare King Orado give such unscrupulous permission? Did you really agree to that?

"Of course, we had some arguments, but eventually you asked me to try as much as I could. Promise me you'll drink only one condition."

"Conditions…?

Wondering what the conditions put forth by the king are, Yui asks Elise.

Elise then said the terms in such tones as reluctantly with a very sorry look on her face.

"... that I do not direct the troops"

"It's also..."

It is easy to imagine that this condition could not have been removed as a king, without her character and previous activities.

On the contrary, Yui was convinced that drinking this condition for Elise must have been just a bitter decision.

"So I chose you. The only thing I did in the other day's incident was confuse things. Besides being held hostage. I thought I'd leave it up to you to solve a case involving such extra thread and lead me to a solution... this is my ideal."

Elise tells Yui that she is going slightly embarrassed to bow down.

"Your... yes, what is your ideal?

"To make the people of this country... the people and the nobles, so happy to all. Unfortunately, too much time has passed since the birth of this country. That's why I want to change this country, which has become old and solidified."

She stares at Yui with a determined eye.

Taking that diamond-like glimmering gaze directly from the front, Yui understands that this grand language is serious.

"... Dear Elise. I'm sure you were aware of my rumors. After understanding that, are you seriously going to be picked on me?

"Hehe, of course. Yui Istarz, the hero who helped the princess. Now I hear they're talking about it in Castle Town."

Elise replies with a nickely grin.

When she laughed bitterly at the answer, Yui shook her neck left and right.

"... it's not you. His Majesty was a little spoken of earlier, but inside the army I am called."

"I know. Just a joke, Mr. Yui Istarz from" The Grain Crushing of the King's Capital "and" Carlin's Daylight ". I understand your personality and how you think. This time, we decided to have a discussion with Rheinberg."

With the name of an inseparable being for Yui in his ear, Yui scratches his head with a slightly flattering surface.

"Have you seen Lord Reinberg again... like I said before, you're just overbuying me when it comes to that guy"

"I told Rheinberg that you would say so and defend yourself. Anyway, I made up my mind. Yui, I'll leave my dreams with you. So create an organization to live my dreams."

The princess said she would keep her dreams with him.

She is called that orbitless princess.

The weight of that trust and expectation raids Yui's desire to escape the scene.

But it has already been called to the King's Capital, commanded by the King, and rooted in Rheinberg, his former boss.

That's why he had only one option to choose from right now.

"... okay, I get it. Because I told His Majesty the King I would do it, too. In the meantime, if you'll excuse me for saying that until we find another suitable successor, we'll accept the position of SS Chief."

Yui scratches his head and says so affirmative words as he gives up.

Then Elise, having heard the words, took Yui's hand and smiled exactly like a flower that had blossomed.

"Thanks, Yui!

In the light of that overly dazzling smile, Yui leans slightly awkward.

Meanwhile, knowing or not his mood like that, Elise shook Yui's hand really hard, shaking it up and down again and again with great pleasure.

"Okay. Okay, so please calm down for a second. Don't you dare think about what you're going to do now?

"Oh, I'm sorry...... uh, let's get back on our minds and think about what's coming. First of all, I will try to hang on to negotiations such as budget and personnel pull-outs. So why don't you give us a list of the things and people you need?

While Elise blushes at the actions she takes, she mouths such a request just because she no longer has to pull.

"Then I will list them in turn, but can I get some personnel to hit them right away? Hopefully, a few officers and a few corporals each."

"Okay. What kind of person do you want?

"Well, first of all, I'd like to pull my ex-boyfriend from the city of Carlin as far as corporal is concerned. I just wonder if welcoming locally recruited people to the Agency will be a neck, but will it be okay around there?

"Fine. I owe those guys, too, and I'll do something to show them that much. So what do you do with the officers?

Upon accepting his request about the corporal, Elise further turns to him for officer personnel.

Then, in response to that question of hers, Yui uttered her own hope without going astray.

"As far as officers are concerned, I'd like you to pull out one from each of the Royal Army's provinces."

"One person at a time? That'll probably be fine... so who should I call?

When he heard the words of Elise, Yui told him the names of the three men that were clearly in his head in a voice that would not stare.

"Three of my most trusted, please. Eince von Rhein of the Ministry of Strategy, Lute Hanneburg of the Ministry of Magic, and Alex Hughes of the Ministry of the Army."
