It's Sudden, but I Came to Another World! But I Hope to Live Safely Chapter 239

By making an appointment with Odysse, I was able to gain an audience with the King of Thorin without any problems. He was accompanied by four people: Odysse, his guide, Mikus, his bodyguard, and Gold, who he had promised to take with him.

It's quite a peculiar story that a normal human is in charge of the successive kings of a country with a high percentage of subhumans, but what is the king's character like?

"Welcome, people of the planet Yggra. I am TalmTrin, the king of Torin. I am TalmTrin, King of Torin, and I am grateful to you and Odysseus for your help in eliminating the evil that nests in Torin.

"......

Can I help you?

Oh, no. It was a bit of a surprise to me because I had always imagined him as a normal king. ......

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. He had long wavy gray hair and a long beard with no border between it and his hair. The king's luxurious cloak and jewel-studded staff. He's just like the grandfatherly kings in fantasy games.

"I'm surprised you're surprised at how normal I am. Does this mean that the kings of other countries are full of eccentricities?

"I can't deny that. But I think they're all worthy of being kings.

"I suppose that's true if you can say it so easily. I have exchanged letters with King Zenotta of the neighboring country several times, and I think he is a very charming king.

That old man has a talent for spreading affection, after all. It's not easy to find a talent that is not hated.

"Is the one next to you the sister of the wise king? She has good eyes. And I've heard rumors of ...... that King Garne is such a lovely girl.

"I'm glad to hear the praise, but I'm much older than you, you know.

"If you don't have my austerity, you can't pretend to be older than you are. Don't think it's easy to imitate this demeanor. Here.

King Talma holds his scepter in both hands and strikes an austere pose. He certainly has a very kingly aura about him. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure what to make of this. You can see the majesty of the king from every angle. ......!

"Mmm ......, he's far more complete as a king than the Foolish King or Zenotta ......!

...... What a sight!

I'm not sure if I'm impressed by the sight of King Talma, but he's trembling with tears in the corners of his eyes. What is this?

"I'm not showing you a farce. This is my role as King Trinh. What does it mean for a human to be king in this land of many subhumans called Trinn? I'm sure you're smart enough to understand.

"...... Oh, that's right.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. This is not because humans are better than subhumans, but because not being subhuman is more important. The Scarlet Witch King's power of "Struggle". It had the effect of awakening the instinctive fighting spirit of subhumans and transforming them into ferocious beasts. They knew the horror of it and feared that the sub-human would be king.

But in accepting to be ruled by a human, they wanted a great reward from that human. Everyone had a strong expectation that the king would be a king, and this Trinh weaved its history. The result is now King Talma.

I have been trained by my predecessors not only to rule, but also to be recognized as a king in appearance, gesture, and all other aspects. Some people may say that I should improve my wisdom and ability rather than improve my appearance. But a king is a symbol of the kingdom, and only by making himself presentable is he worthy of being looked up to by the people.

"So you're doing everything you can to start with form?

I'm confident that I'm as good as any king when it comes to style, but I'm proud to say that I'm not very good at ruling.

That's not something to be proud of. Are you sure about that?

It's not something to be proud of. But King Talma and Odysseus showed no sign of being concerned.

"That's all right. This is a nation of subhumans, and the government is chosen by the people as they see fit. All I have to do is maintain my dignity as a symbol and bear all the responsibility for their choices.

In a way, he's more of a monster than the other kings, this one. He's more of a monster than any other king, in a way. He leaves all of Trinh's politics to the subhumans, but only has the final say. He delegates everything to others, acts as a king, and takes on only the responsibilities of a king. It is a great mental burden to bear the responsibility of others, but it is also an endorsement to bear the responsibility of all the people.

His approval rating seems to be high. This king.

"Yeah, it's not uncommon for subhumans to be prejudiced against humans. But Lord Talma is such a wonderful man that everyone in this country supports him.

It is clear that Odysseus is not lying. King Talma is not a man, but a king, and he is determined to remain a symbol of the country without hesitation. You can feel his determination. Who can blame a man who devotes his entire life to his country and becomes its pillar? If it were not for the position of the third force, he would be overpowered and speak in polite language.

"However, I am concerned that he has abandoned his duty as king to lead the country.

"If I had the wisdom of King Taze, or the foresight of King Garne, I could certainly reign as an even better king. But then I would be feared by my people. A king with a good reign would be a burden to a nation that has chosen a man-king out of fear.

Aside from Garne, the meaning is clear when you consider the scene at Taze. Everyone recognizes Marith's skills and accepts him as king. However, if Marith, a good king, were to disappear, the country of Taiz would go into a tailspin. That's why everyone is cautious and afraid of Marito.

"Wouldn't it be better to rule like Zenotta?

It's not just the king of Zenotta who keeps Quama's government in order. It's the power of the guilds. Just imitating King Zenotta will only make this country worse than Quama.

"...... is not the place for a spur-of-the-moment opinion.

"This kind of question and answer has been repeated many times in history. I'm proud to say that I'm a better speaker than any king.

"Are you sure you should be proud of that?

After a brief greeting, I decided to give a general summary of the incident with Solide. The captured bastards will be taken to the Quama demon world at a later date and placed under the supervision of Jestaff in the form of protection. All of the facilities that Raheit and the others were said to have used in Trinh were suppressed and investigated to some extent, but no significant information was obtained. Since Nektohar, who is conducting research on the bastard, is in Serende, it is likely that important research materials are over there.

A bastard created by Yggra. It's a pity that they are abhorred, even though they are not born with any sin.

"I don't think there will be a problem if each country recognizes its existence and accepts it.

"A good individual will stand out no matter what. It's good if you're just looked at with a good eye, but the opposite is always true. Not everyone has a strong mind, you know.

As King Talma said, the talent of a bastard is alien to the eyes of others. While some people believe that their power can bring about great change, many others are jealous and fearful of the talents they do not possess. It is not so easy to solve all these problems.

I'll get to that later. That's all I have to report.

"Thank you. I look forward to crushing the schemes of those who seek to tilt the country.

After that, Gold was to make some suggestions to King Talma about diplomacy with Ghane. King Talma said that all of them were not bad, and promised to push them in Parliament.

After leaving Trinh Castle and splitting up with Odysseus, I rode the Kutu to the place that Gold had led me to. He didn't say what he wanted, but he looked like he wanted to take me with him, so I agreed without interrupting him.

"Hmm. It's probably somewhere around here.

"Probably?

We arrived at an empty meadow with a nice view. There was nothing to see, and even though it was a beautiful day, it made me feel lonely.

It's been over a hundred years since I've been here, and things have changed so much. I can't even find any landmarks anymore.

Could it be ......?

"Hmm. The village where my mistress was born used to be in this area.

It was a subhuman tribe called the Gold Foxes who disappeared in the days of war, shortly before the birth of the Demon Lord. The gold lost everything in this place and met Yugra.

I thought you said you had no regrets.

No. No. Just a little sentimentality. Do you remember the story of how Ygras freed you and created a demon world while the other Demon Lords were on the rampage because she was lonely?

"Yeah. You know the story of the demon world that doesn't even have a name because it was quickly defeated by Yugra?

By the way, that place is a little closer to the coast, and I first thought of creating a magical world here. But when I decided to do it, I felt a little embarrassed.

Apparently, a demon world can be easily expanded. If Yugra had been a month late in defeating the demon king, the scars of the demon world created by the gold would be deep in the earth of Trinh today.

"So you're saying you're back around here too?

"Hmm. Yugra killed my mistress and dumped her in a nearby lake. When I woke up, I almost suffocated to death.

Killing at the respawn point is not a good idea. So far I've had two people reskill me by the same means.

So, why'd you bring me back?

"I heard your old stories. I just wanted to show you something of my past.

There's nothing there.

I wanted to show you that there was nothing.

...... I see.

There's nothing left of the past when it comes to gold. I don't know if the other Demon Lords are aware of this, but there is not even a trace of sin left in the demon world. In her mind, there is only the present.

Well, now that we've made things a little better, let's go home.

Did it feel good?

"Now I understand you not only in my imagination, but also in reality. I think we're getting closer.

Hmm, you have a point.

There is too much for me and the money to do in this place to indulge in sentimentality for too long. Perhaps it's better to be as tasteless as this. As I turned around, I saw Mixu sticking knives into the ground.

"What are you doing?

"This is where Kim's family rests, isn't it? Then I thought I'd at least prepare a simple grave for them.

Even if you build a tomb here, if people live here in the future, they won't think anything of it, they'll just destroy it. In the first place, the wind and rain...

"Hmm. Don't underestimate my magic skills! That!

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. In addition, unlike the magic used by the knights, the ground seems to have been prepared very well.

It's a big one again.

"I've dried the surface soil and lightly baked it so it won't be damaged by a simple windstorm. You can even dig a name for it. How would you like that?

It is a complete tomb. I'm sure there are people who would destroy this without thinking about it ......, but anyone with some common sense would refrain from doing so.

You don't need a name. Many people have died in this land for hundreds of years. It's better to have a grave for all of them than for just a few.

"I see. Then the only thing left to do is to make offerings with ...... knives.

Don't do that. I've only got some portable food, too. ...... That'll do.

If this is the punishment, it's absurd. If we are punished for this, it would be absurd.

The mistress is empty-handed, so don't worry about it.

A little hair from Master Kim's tail, then.

No. The Gold Foxes have a custom of grooming their own tails to make trinkets for their warrior lovers. There are no such people sleeping in this place.

This is similar to the story of a woman making a talisman from her own hair. There may be some stories about amulets made of animal tails mixed in, though. I mean, there is an ornamental cord made from the hair of his tail on the head of Kuto's handle. And he was trying to make a sheath at first.

I'm sorry about that. ...... I'm going to grow my hair out.

"The others will just copy you. It's better if you don't, he'll be disgusted.

Is that so, my friend?

I'm a little uncomfortable carrying around a human body part.

You're carrying around the tail of Lord Gold.

...... has a nice coat.

I don't have that kind of fur. ...... Too bad.

"Mmm-hmm.
