Chapter 20
After confirming that Owen’s research was genuine, we have received 1,000 large gold coins directly from the king.
The quest being S difficulty, the king wanted to see us who captured the dungeon personally.
Because I wanted to talk about the elf village, it was convenient.
The king received us with a gentle smile, no matter how you look he looks like a stereotypical gentle ossan.
Aside from the red hair, he doesn’t resemble Ellen at all.
「If you’d like, won’t you enroll in our country’s Knight order?」
「I appreciate the thought, but I’m not good with organizations」
I plainly reject the king’s invitation.
「I see. With so much money, there really isn’t a need for court service anymore nou」
The king didn’t get upset, he just nods while stroking his beard.
Then, his eyes turn to Tira,
「How about you, elf ojouchan ja?」
「No. I would also have to……」
「Fuumu. How unfortunate ja. Well then, how about that lovely ojouchan ja?」
「Unless papa and mama are with me, no!」
「I see, I see」
The king even asked Filia, he has some humor.
He laughs delightfully at Filia’s reply, he is probably fond of children. No, I don’t think he’s a lolicon?
Then, I tell him about the Elf village.
「Hou. That is great. I have always thought that it would be great to build a friendly relations.h.i.+p with the Elf village no ja. Well then, I will send an envoy there at once」
His reaction was considerably favorable.
However, in fact, the Alsara Kingdom won’t profit much by establis.h.i.+ng a relations.h.i.+p with the Elf village.
Rather, it’s not an exaggeration to say that the Elf village is receiving a huge, one-sided benefit.
With the Alsara Kingdom’s military power, it wouldn’t be hard to enslave the Elf village.
Yet they conclude equal diplomatic relations.h.i.+p.
When I point that out,
「If you want to become friendly with someone, there’s really no need to use the force, right?」
On the contrary, he replies in wonder.
「Naturally, it’s not as if I didn’t consider this. The military power of my country increased by having friendly relations.h.i.+ps with various races. By entering into a friendly relations.h.i.+p with the Elf village, we will appeal the other races that still look at us unfavorably no ja」
Because the princess, Ellen is like that, I was expecting something like「Is that village strong?」, I’m glad I can entrust it the king without worrying.
「Father!」
When we finished and were about to leave.
Ellen suddenly bursts into the throne room.
「Father! I have a request!」
Ellen walks rudely towards the king without permission.
「I want you to remove me from the commander of the knights’ position!」
「What is this about ja?」
「I have been defeated by that man just a little while ago. And I have fully realized my own weakness!」
「…… Umu. So?」
「Therefore, I have decided to study under that man!」
Ellen declares selfishly.
Nono, I haven’t heard about that before?
「That man is going to leave on a journey! I plan to accompany him! Therefore, I can’t continue on being the commander of the knights!」
「I see」
「Father! I beg you! As you see!」
Ellen bows her head deeply.
Then, she turns to me,
「Please! Make me your disciple! I don’t know anything, but sword!」
She requests me with a ghastly expression.
「I don’t think so. You have other things you can be proud of, you know?」
「…… I have something like that……?」
「Yes」
「Just what it is……?」
I tell Ellen who looks at me
「Your b.o.o.bs!」
Also, her but.
According to〈Pinnacle of Detection〉her measures are 99, 58, 90. Even models would be defeated.
「I, I see…… I have b.o.o.bs…..!?」
「Nono, don’t be impressed!? That’s ridiculous! The meaning is obscure!」
「Ha……」
Ellen comes to her senses after Tira’s tsukkomi.
「A, aren’t b.o.o.bs useless! They interfere with my movements! Rather, I would prefer small ones like she has!」
Ellen points at Tira’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
「…… That remark just now, wasn’t it quite rude ……?」
Certainly, I am tiny but, Tira mutters.
Filia who heard that「Mama, it’s ok~ay. Filia is tiny too」tries to admirably cheer up Tira, but it’s as if she didn’t accept that or as if it had an opposite effect, un. Tira became stiff.
「Karuna-dono. I would also like to request of you」
The king interrupts.
「Is that okay? Won’t it become a problem if the commander of knights disappears?」
「Rather, it would be better than if this musclehead commander would conti――gefun, gefun」
You masked it with coughs, but you definitely were about to saying your true feelings?
「Certainly, Ellen is this country’s knight. Losing her will be a big lossja. But, this much won’t shake with my Knight order」
「I may have an "accident" with your daughter after a while?」
「Rather, I would love if you already accept her as your bride――gohon, gohon」
You tried to mask it again, but you definitely were speaking what’s on your mind, right!?
「Ellen made a decision with such determination ja. As a king, as a father, I should properly answer her ja rou」
The king insists with an earnest face.
Un, he seriously wants her to leave as soon as possible……
Ellen, you poor thing……
Maa, taking her with me is alright.
She’s the precious, essential b.o.o.bs member.
But, since there’s a chance (?), I will tease him a bit.
「…… I won’t be taking Ellen with me, after all」
「Wha!?」
The king opens his eyes wide at my words.
And rattles on,
「J, just what you don’t like? I may be a doting parent, but Ellen is a really good daughter ja zo? Putting aside her personality, her looks are first rate ja! You should feel fortunate that such cute girl wants to become your disciple ja zo!」
「Certainly, the purunpurun bouncing of her huge rack when she swings her sword is regrettable」
「Right, right ja rou? If you make her your disciple, you will be able to see at any time you want ja zo?」
The king leans forward on the throne while insisting.
But, I shake my head left and right.
「But, I think Ellen is necessary for this country」
「Why do you think so ja!? On the contrary, she’s not nee――gefun, gohon! You are able to take this wonderful daughter as your disciple ja zo!? You can rub her b.r.e.a.s.t.s as much as you want ja zo!?」
「That is what the person in question should agree to, right!?」（←Tira’s tsukkomi）
「Having to part with such adorable daughter, it will be hard for you too, right?」
「C, certainly it will be hard! It pains me so much it’s making me dizzy ja! But you see, I don’t want to render Ellen’s determination pointlessno ja! As a king! As a father!」
The king shouts with a desperate look.
I nod,
「I understand that feeling」
「I see! You understand me!」
The king’s eyes sparkle.
「But, I won’t take her, after all」
「Why jaaaa!?」
An expression of being pushed down from heaven to h.e.l.l floats on the king’s face.
「Please take heeeer!! For the sake of my, cute, adorable daughteeer! Please! I plead you ja karaaaa!! As you see jaaa!」
Finally, he gets down from the throne and kneels in front of me while screaming.
「Father…… You think of me so much…… kuu……」
Ellen emotionally wipes her tears, but unfortunately, it’s actually the opposite……
「…… I think that you should stop playing around, though?」
I finally agree to take Ellen with me because I was glared at by Tira.
The king was ridiculously overjoyed.
「Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!! You are a hero who saved this country ja!!!!」
Like this, the essential b.o.o.b person, Ellen has become our companion.
