Chapter 400: Self-Introductions

With dazed Konoka in the corner of the eye the three high school students heat up. Konoka’s head hurts and she wants to sit but underwear would be seen so she barely stands.

Face bright red the boy

"Fine! The saint surely a princess serves! A princess blonde with blue eyes and a big chest is the saint role! An older sister is fine too. A character of an older sister who guides us! This surely a god made that kind of setting!"

when he clamors glasses-kun too

"I see! That is so, Kotaro you are smart! That is so, it is decided so! I want to meet her! I want to meet her soon!!"

they make a fuss in a circle. Riding that the old-man-like one

"That is so! A blonde saint always comes attached to a hero party! And that saint is always erotic, a decided pattern! Big breasts, clothes of already tiny area, the kind that almost cannot hide!! Therefore absolutely big breasts! High-leg! Thong! This absolutely cannot be left out!"

spouts as he likes. Thinking it is not heard around, this one! Konoka thinks.

At the boys’ fool fuss strength leaves Konoka’s whole body and she sits on the floor. Underwear being seen does not bother her. The boys are glancing at Konoka’s underwear. While fussing big breasts and high-leg the male nature of ending up looking at the bare legs and bare underwear in front of the eyes.

First prince Green who had been dazed seeing the boys’ fussing state finally returned to himself and addresses them.

"You, could you stop fussing already. Calm a little and hear what we say."

Hearing that the three finally stop fussing and turn toward Green.

"Could you tell me your names? Hearing the talk somehow your own occupations seem decided?"

Hearing that the boy

"Ah, that is so. Glad I ended up frolicking. I am Kotaro Tsukahara, a third-year high school student, 18. Occupation, no not occupation a title is attached. The title is Hero! Hero, Hero!!"

he shouts thrusting a fist into the air energetically. He said it putting power especially on the place called title. Those surrounding raised voices of ooh all at once. Those who attended the rite had heard the talk of the summoned ones from just now and understood the outline but when it comes from their own mouths it can be felt as amazing after all.

Next glasses-kun

"I, no I am Yunosuke Nojima. A third-year high school student of 17, a Sage! Fufufu."

seems a little calmed yet gladness cannot be hidden and he says while grinning. Then from around voices of he is a sage, what is a sage rise. One who knows sage explains. Yunosuke who was hearing that

"A sage is one who governs attack magic, healing magic, all magic! One who stands at the peak of all mages. Fire magic, water magic, wind magic..."

started speaking so blocking that the third old-man-like one

"I am Makoto Abe, 18! A warrior!"

shouted. At a volume that shakes the basement air there are ones who cover their ears with hands. At this time the three boys hid that after the title the letters (apprentice) were attached.

Those around the magic circle

"Amazing! Amazing ones! Suddenly hero, sage, warrior!"

"Ah that is so. Among us too there are ones who can see their own ability but there is no one with that kind of title attached!"

"That is so! A title given by a god! Worthy of summoned ones!"

are not trying to hide excitement toward what the boys said.

Because the fourth summoned one sits and says nothing Green crouched in front

"Your name?"

and asked. Green did not miss light blue underwear seen from between the skirt.

"I, I am Ta, Takamoto, Konoka! 19! ... a musician..."

The instant Konoka said it a disappointed voice of aaaaa spread. When said again from the person herself the disappointment stands out.

Even so Green without changing color

"Is that so. A shame but this too would be a god’s guidance."

says and the high priest is shouting as if resentment cannot be helped, a god would not call this kind of woman! Green pretends not to hear that

"Hütter, rooms to lodge these people are prepared, yes? Tonight for now shall we have them rest there. Tomorrow explaining the summoning to these people would be good?"

and instructs.

"Yes, they are prepared. Then..."

Hütter called subordinates and tried to have them guide but Kotaro blocked.

"Sorry, is there something to eat? My stomach is empty."

He presses his belly and poses that the belly is reduced. This is a common pose in this world too.

"Oops that I did not notice, sorry. First shall we have you take a meal. Here, prepare a meal."

Hütter instructs subordinates on the meal.

The three boys are frolicking but Konoka presses her head and sinks alone. That is natural, she has no acquaintance with the three boys and is not let into companions. Even the three boys are full of themselves and have no room to be considerate of Konoka. If they were companions they would encourage each other and have care to find some light of hope but without that Konoka has become alone physically and mentally.

The summoning side too from the uplift of achieving a great work and attending that great work attention does not turn to the tiny existence called Konoka.

If Konoka were a saint the high priest would not put her below and would have taken her into the church and tried to confirm ability. But if not a saint, not a priest and not even a title of shrine maiden he thought there was no need for the church to look after her.

Even recognizing achieving Hero Summoning is a great work, being unable to summon a saint or sage is hard to say a return was obtained for cooperating with the Mainz Kingdom as a church.

Third consort Isabel seeing son Green address Konoka could not hide displeasure. Even a summoned girl there is no need to call and be kind to a commoner girl in that kind of indecent outfit and a girl who holds only the title musician. If a saint she had thought to take her in at once and even make her Green’s legal wife. But she thinks there is no need to let this woman wearing clothes of much exposure, hard to say very beautiful, near Green, she must be excluded.

She knows the king is suffering the Empire’s pressure. If she encloses these three, makes them Green’s subordinates and raises a great victory in war with the Empire there is nothing to say. With this great work the crown prince seat was secured. Next if there is a result to become king no one would complain. Until now the crown prince seat being empty was because that hateful Queen was there. The Queen not being in this place, can that alone not be called a blunder? A Queen who did not attend a great work can be said not to have fulfilled a queen’s duty.

King Wilhelm, the saint not being in the summoning members is a shame but he is satisfied the three of hero, sage and warrior gathered. With this even starting war with the Empire it can be carried advantageously. If it goes well he may be able to beat the Empire. He was making delusions vigorous that he may be able to proclaim hegemony on the continent. If he achieves continent unification he can carve a name in history.

Prime Minister Cromwell seeing those boiling from the corner of his eye is chewing a bitter bug. With this Green’s installation as crown prince is like half decided but mother Isabel and the Duke of Vélez bother him. The influence when Isabel becomes crown prince’s mother and eventually queen mother is scary. Even now she schemes to promote nobles and merchants she favors more than necessary. Seeing Isabel talking familiarly with the Duke of Vélez is she not scheming to set the Duke of Vélez as prime minister after himself? And an intention of standing blood relatives of Isabel’s main house on the political stage and having them assist the Duke of Vélez seems there. This can only be thought bad. History proves putting ones with no ability on blood alone in important posts is the start of a ruined country.

Even if putting Prince Green forward and a force centered on Isabel rising cannot be helped, only one force covering the palace is not skillful. Only with a moderate opposing force is political balance taken and the kingdom’s stability kept.

Thinking that he regrets after all sending the Queen to the Eisleben clan was bad. He thought Ambassador Marie might have some influence but thinking now that was overthinking. Even if there was Ambassador Marie’s influence the influence of the Queen not being there can only be thought larger. His chest will not stop stirring. Will the Queen not return soon, that the summoning rite is performed today he has already sent a messenger to the Queen. If some sign of summoning is seen he asked her to return to the royal capital putting anything aside. He wants the Queen to return soon.

Those who attended the summoning rite other than the high priest were all satisfied. Hütter was satisfied with what he achieved and was not thinking of after this but the others are thinking how from now to win through the Mainz Kingdom’s power struggle.
