Chapter 405: Called

Robbie still had not shaken off the fatigue and was loafing in his own room at the embassy. At night he enjoyed Lily’s body and in the day he loafed in bed, a life almost like a shut-in. Only those around knew Robbie had been active on the round trip to the Eisleben clan and further on the return he had sat the whole time on the carriage driver’s seat and continued watch, so that had been passed on and no one offered a bitter word. In the first place Robbie has no concrete work. Embassy paperwork has the excellent butler Rudolf and even while he was away it had ended with nothing. Therefore decorative ambassador Robbie, so long as he does not do a bad thing, no one says anything. Embassy business proceeds on the premise Robbie is not there so even signing is rare.

At that kind of time before noon a letter was delivered from Prime Minister Cromwell. The contents were that there is consultation on an important matter so he wants him to come at once. Sought by a country’s prime minister he is not a big enough figure to say no and on top of that as one with time to spare there is only to answer yes.

He is told to come but a date and time are not written so he asked the messenger and was told even now at once! and it could not be helped he had Rudolf prepare and boarded the carriage. Even asking the messenger what matter was he called for he is told he does not know. An excellent close aide would absolutely not leak things other than what is written on the document he thought while the carriage arrived at the palace.

Shown into a reception room and made to wait a while

"Welcome for coming. Sorry for the sudden talk!"

Where the usual high-handed attitude went, a prime minister who came out low enough to be creepy appeared. Then following

"Robbie, you came well!"

the Queen appeared. Her Majesty after a long while. When he first came to this country and saw her Her Majesty wore a loose dress but lately she prefers dresses that stick tight and the body’s line can be known he thinks. How it is under this dress, the man who knows is now only me he thinks and there is a thing that grows energetic.

Now driving away that kind of worldly desire

"Called, I hurried and came. Just what kind of matter is it?"

he tries asking while looking at the two faces in turn. Her Majesty stays silent and does not change expression either. Then the prime minister as if it cannot be helped

"Actually it is about the summoned heroes."

"The summoned heroes!?"

He ended up putting out a loud voice suddenly. Her Majesty and the prime minister were surprised an instant at his loud voice but looked at each other’s faces and laughed. Because Hero Summoning is a great favorite. He had interest the whole time and hid it hard!

"Did Ambassador Marie have that much interest in Hero Summoning?"

The prime minister says amazed. Hero Summoning anyone would hold interest he thought but is it not so?

"That already is a great work of the century, yes?"

Thinking it obvious he asks back.

"A great work of the century? Certainly if said so it is so."

The prime minister has a face of not much interest. Is this merely a pose? Or inside is he thinking they went and did a troublesome thing like Hero Summoning?

"Was I called about Hero Summoning? I had heard it was already done? I am a foreigner so I thought I could be of no use and could not involve either but being called means there is something I seem able to be of use?"

With leftover momentum he ends up a barrage of questions. Her Majesty makes a face of see to the prime minister. Already his actions are read by Her Majesty.

"That is so. If possible it would have been good if we alone could solve it but it came not to go that way so Her Majesty said let us hear the opinion of foreigner Ambassador Marie."

"I do not know that much?"

"Nn? Her Majesty says Ambassador Marie is detailed about Hero Summoning?"

Her Majesty beside the prime minister nods un un.

"Even said detailed it is only knowledge of ancient books I read in the Marie Kingdom library."

Actually it is light novel knowledge.

"Even that is fine. About Hero Summoning there is also that Marie Kingdom books differ from Mainz Kingdom books. But it is not that the Marie Kingdom performed Hero Summoning in the past either."

A nuance that a small country like the Marie Kingdom cannot do Hero Summoning can be seen. That kind of thing is fine separately but rulers of a great country stick to that kind of thing.

"I think there is not. I have not read all the books in the library so I cannot assert but surely there is not."

"It would be so. The Marie Kingdom cannot do it."

You, is that what you want to say! he thought while thinking this kind of guy is anywhere

"A country with no talent and no wealth like the Marie Kingdom cannot achieve a great work called Hero Summoning."

he says and the prime minister shows a satisfied face of see, that is so! Her Majesty beside has a face of again.

"Prime Minister, should you not do that kind of fruitless argument forever? You..."

The prime minister who had a proud face when scolding from Her Majesty starts suddenly the me-feeling scatters and vanishes

"Ambassador Marie. I hear from Her Majesty you hold a certain knowledge about Hero Summoning. Seeing that I want to hear your opinion."

Is that an attitude of asking a person a thing? he thought while with an adult response he whose outside is eleven

"If even that is fine I will have you let me say an opinion."

"Then first I will explain Hero Summoning. The summoning rite was performed while Her Majesty was in Eisleben clan territory."

I know well. I was gotten rid of as a nuisance, yes. Perhaps Her Majesty was in the way too and was put out from the royal capital as a set with me. Thanks to that the distance with Her Majesty shortened so for that I am grateful.

"Those summoned are four. Tsukahara Kotaro, man 17, Hero. Nojima Yunosuke, man 17, Sage. Abe Makoto, man 17, Warrior. And Takamoto Konoka, woman 19, musician."

Uwaa! Nothing but Japanese names! Hero, sage, warrior and then musician? Saying man and woman on purpose is consideration because people of this world even hearing a name do not know the sex?

"Ara? Three men one woman? Is there no priest or saint?"

Because it is off the model pattern four-point set he tried asking.

"You noticed there after all? That is so, there is not."

The prime minister answers magnanimously.

"And only the woman is older?"

"That is so."

"Were those boys and the woman acquaintances?"

This would be the point. It does not seem a whole classroom was summoned. Even older if 19 it does not seem teacher and pupils either. A tutor and a pupil and that friend? Imagination swells variously. The prime minister who does not know the contents of my imagination at all shakes his head

"The three of the men are friends of a school called high school I hear but with the woman they are others of no involvement at all I hear."

Hoh hoh an unexpected combination.

"Is that so, only the woman was an other alone?"

"That is so. Perhaps because of that the men are getting along. They strive at study in the knight order and receive training seriously. Extremely excellent pupils."

"But perhaps the woman is not so?"

Told this far even I came pin!

"That is so. Therefore we had Ambassador Marie come."

"As I thought..."

Here Her Majesty joined the talk.

"Because Robbie is good at entering a woman’s bosom, yes?"

"Your Majesty, please do not say that kind of thing bad to hear."

This is a problem. Even if fact. If by chance it is so it sounds like he has entered Her Majesty’s bosom too, does it not? There is no such thing. Only the pattern of growing friendly with older ladies happens to be many.

Even thinking that the prime minister

"Certainly that is so. Her Majesty and the Duchess of Vélez and others too..."

"Please wait! The talk of you two’s prejudice is already fine so please say what you want to do how!"

Likely to be said endlessly he blocked by force and urged ahead. Her Majesty is in a good mood and smiling.

"I want Ambassador Marie to go with Her Majesty to that woman’s place, first talk with Takamoto Konoka and make conversation with that woman hold. If you can I want you to lead her out of the room."

That would be so, after all. Only he thinks the hurdle is terribly high.
