Chapter 249
while I alone is going toToki town.
Then, since were already here, shall we meet the king?
Yes!
-
Yo! King.
Seiji!
Ah, did Elena come as well!?
Ill have you pay me the money today.
Well, I dont have such business here today,
but this fellow seems to forget about it if I dont urge him many times.
Gununu.
Even if an ossan says that line, its not cute.
There are various damages caused by the war with the devil-kin last week,
its hard on the reconstruction budget so, theres no such surplus gold.
Ah, is that so?
Then, sell Elena over to me.
It cant be helped, oh, it cant be helped.
W-, Wait!
Until when are you going to keep me waiting?
Blah blah blah, weve done our usual exchange. Its really fun to mess about and torment the king, huh.
Well, its the worst, dont you have anything? Im even accepting payment in kind.
Isnt there a legendary holy sword handed down from generation to generation of the royal family?
Until Elena wants to come back on her own accord, Ill pull this prank on him.
By the way, King.
To you who is up to his neck in debt, Ill do something good.
What is it!?
I gave Elena and Hildas photo albums to the king.
What the hell is this!!?
The king nearly fell down looking at the photo albums.
How is it? Its well made, dont you think?
Wha-, w-, what on earth is this!?
These pictures are life-like.
This book is really well made.
This wonderful Elena
The king admired the wonderful figure of Elena and couldnt speak anymore.
That ultra-luxurious, photo album set
is only 10, 000 Aurum!!
Furthermore, its not just that!
If you buy now-!
With two sets of each book, I will add another copy of each book,
the price is irredeemable!!
Ill buy them!!
Oi, King.
Dont you have no money because of the reconstruction budget!?
***
I had Aya and the others wait inside Elenas room.
I went southwards from the Royal Capital to Toki town usingLightning Flash.
When I run for awhile, the smell of salt water
and when I run further, the sea was visible on the left.
And when I went further along the coast,
I finally saw the Toki town.
-
I summoned Aya and others, and everyone went to Toki town.
Its the seaa-!
Aya becomes excited as soon as she saw the sea.
Although both the juniorsElena and Hildabehave themselves,
Aya who is the most senior is the most childish.
Precisely because the Toki town was a port town, there was a lot of fish-related food sold.
After Aya who wanted to eat food right after buying it was somehow pacified,
we looked for a person who could divine.
It shouldve have been faster if I know the name of thedivineror the place he is staying, but it cant be helped since Rachel-san doesnt seem to know that much either.
As a result of the thorough investigation(eating right after buying)
We found out that the identity of theDiviner
was a person calledExeterthe feudal lord of Toki town.
If its the feudal lord, he shouldve told us that he works as a diviner when Lelas message came
-
Therefore, we went to the mansion ofExeterthe Feudal Lord of Toki town.
Excuse me, Id like to meet the feudal lord, can you tell him, please.
When I said so to the gatekeeper
Im dont listen to such talk!
If you want to meet the feudal lord, come after having a permission beforehand!
Was what he shouted at me.
Errr this person here is Princess Elena,
is it still no good?
Im not going to listen to such talk either!
Dont spout lies!!!
This is extremely absurd
What should we do?
We dont have anything that can prove that Elena is Elena
Oh, lets ask that person.
-
I had Aya and the others to wait,
and teleported to Lelas place.
Ive returned, Lela.
W-, Welcome back
Why does this fellows face became red?
Nevermind.
Lela, I have a request again, is it alright?
What is it? Say anything.
This fellow, Lela. Is she the type that cant refuse a request?
Id like to meet the person calledExeterof Toki town, but I got turned down without serious consideration at the gate.
Can you tell him, please?
N?Exeter?
Do you have any business with that fellow?
It seems he can to perform some divination.
Since we cant get any information about that matter we were talking about no matter what, Im thinking of having him to perform divination.
I see
Ill try to contact him.
After a short time, Lela came back, looking a little angry.
I contacted him.
Hell probably meet you.
N? It holds some hidden meaning, huh.
Well then, see you later.
(Take care.)[1]
***
I had Lela to make an appointment.
Lets wait by the gatekeeper for a while.
Onii-chan, since that person is scary, can I play with the others?
No!
Are you a child!?
When I waited for a while whilst being glared at by the gatekeeper,
a servant came out and whispered into the ear of the gatekeeper.
The permission from the feudal lord was given.
Quickly enter.
Although I properly made an appointment, his attitude is still haughty, huh.
-
We were shown into the mansions living room.
My, my, if it isnt Princess Elena. What is your business this time?
An elderly, magician-like man came out.
This fellow isExeter, huh.
Lets useAppraisalfor now.

Divination(Rarity: )
Shows solution to every doubt and the like.
Although his stats is low, its the real deal!
Ive seen a person who hasspace-time magicother than me for the first time.
However, although the level of his space-time magic is level 1, he can use a magic with a rarity. Its somewhat imbalance.
I wonder if he even did something cunning to do it?
While I was usingappraisal, Elena talked about Yurie-sans matter and asked for adivination.
Even if its Elena-samas request, thats not possible.
This fellow turned down Elenas request!
Why?
Elena calmly faced him tenaciously.
A special magic stone isexpendedin order to perform adivination.
Because that magic stone is very precious,
its impossible for me to use a precious magic stone for a girl whom I know neither the identity nor where she came from.
Please be a little more conciliatory so that we could somehow find a way to reach an agreement!
Elena tenaciously faced him yet again.
Mydivinationis intended to see serious matters concerning with the government.
I cant comply with it even if its Elena-samas request.
Do we have no choice but to give up?
But
Oh? A paradoxical conjunction came!
If you subdue thetokitroubling this town, I may think about it.
Waa!?
Subjugating a Toki?
Excuse me, Exeter-sama,
but what is aToki[2]?
Atokiis a monster which became the origin of this towns name, it lives in theToki Forestnear this town.
Ive sent many subjugation party from this town many times and I dont know what to do with it while the victims increase.
Well, I think its impossible,
but in the event that you suceed in the subjugation, I may perform adivinationfor you, good?
This fellow intends to demand something unreasonable to make us give up, huh.
Well, its fine.
Id like to see that monster calledtokior something like that which has the same name as theNipponianipponthat symbolizes Japan.
Lets go to see it for a bit!
