Vol. 3 Chapter 16

Translated by Mlzkzr Edited by Mlzkzr

“This is, the place where His Majesty the King is sleeping.”

When they heard my determined words, everyone in the Valkyrie immediately guided me under the Ou-sama.

I was wondering if it would be good to take an unidentified person under the Ou-sama so easily, but Louise said that if I wanted to harm the Ou-sama in the first place, she said that I could do it without going on a roundabout way. It appears that I have that much fighting power. A certain fighting tribe would also be surprised!

That’s why, I was allowed to meet the king. I can’t be honestly happy about it.

As I was depressed by myself, I arrived at one room. Apparently, the Ou-sama is sleeping here.

The door was made up of heavy wood, and it looked like a place where a great person resides.

When I went inside, it was a place with a very calm atmosphere, unlike what I had imagined. …… Well, there’s a canopy bed in the middle of the room! As expected of a royalty……

Claudia-san and Louise accompanied me, and took me under the sleeping king.

“Tu!?”

Looking at the person who has his eyes quietly closed in bed, I was shocked.

That’s because————

“Ranze-san!?”

It was Ranze-san, the man who had listened to my problems at the café Accoriente.

However, unlike when he was in the café, his simple clothes have been replaced by very luxurious clothes.

“Wha,what does this mean?”

When I was confused because I don’t understand why, Louise asked me curiously.

“? Does Shishou know His Majesty?”

“Eh? A,ah…… at the café Accoriente, he listened to my worries, but ……”

When I said that, Louise nodded in agreement.

“I see, it was in Noado-san’s café huh. His Majesty thought that it would be inconvenient for his face to be known when he examines the state of the people, so he doesn’t show his true appearance. Hence, I was surprised to see that someone knew about it, but …… if that’s the reason, then it makes sense.”

Who is Noado-san?

I’m surprised that Ranze is the king, but Noado-san, who has a normal connection with the king ……. In the first place, is it really necessary for a king to show his face to the people?

No good. Too many things happened at once.

In addition, when I met him at the café, he was in such good spirits, but now, there is no sign of that.

He seems to be breathing, but how do I put it …… he looks like he was in a really deep sleep.

As I was thinking about this, a new group of people entered the room.

“Is it you? The person who said that he might be able to wake his Majesty up…….”

That group, are all dressed in uniformly white robes, and what should I say…… they have the look of real magicians.

Among them, the person at the front talks to me.

“Yes. Well, I don’t know if I could do it, but ……”

“Even so, it doesn’t matter. If there’s even a 1% chance that His Majesty will wake up, we want to cling to it. That’s why…… please”

When he said that, the person at the front of the group bowed his head. Following suit, the group of people who are in robes behind him also bowed their heads.

…… Ranze-san, you are being adored greatly.

I myself, owe him a debt of gratitude for listening to my troubles. Even if I don’t owe him anything, I’m going to help him if I can, though.

“I understand. I’ll do everything I can to help.”

“……Thank you”

The person in the lead said so, and took off his hood.

Then, from under the hood, an amazingly handsome man with silky light blue hair and clear water-like eyes came out. Moreover, he has a gentle smile on. I wonder if that smile is free.

“I’m sorry for being late. I’m Florio Barze, the head of the Welmburg Kingdom’s magic division.”

“Ah, err …… I’m Seiichi.”

“I see. Then, Seiichi-kun. For His Majesty, please”

The leading person ———— when Florio-san said so, he moved to the corner of the room with the other people in robes.

…… A’re? Somehow. The person I just saw looked very much to someone else……

“Shishou. That right now is my brother, he’s the leader of the magic division which has been casting recovery magic to His Majesty until earlier.”

“Heh……”

So, he was Louise’s brother huh. Certainly, their hair color and eyes are the same, and both of them are beautiful. I’m convinced.

As I was convincing myself of this, suddenly, Louise had a faint but anxious look.

“Shishou…… can you really wake up His Majesty?”

“…… I don’t know about that either. Since it’s my first time doing it too.”

It isn’t a grandstanding in the slightest, but that is still a part I don’t get.

But, I think it’s better than not doing it then regretting it later. I won’t be able to do it without thinking so.

“……Shishou. I’m afraid I’m going to disrespect your goodwill, but please don’t overdo it.”

“……”

“The word 『curse』 is a thing that, once it was received, it can never be lifted again. It’s the result of research of the great minds of the past over a daunting number of years. That’s why————”

“It should be fine”

I interrupted Louise’s words and said so.

“It’s fine. Since, I’ll definitely accomplish it.”

“………… I understand.”

Saying that, Louise stepped aside.

When I saw her state, I came face to face with Ranze-san again.

……Oh man, what should I do.

As soon as I declared that, I started to get anxious.

…… I can’t pull back anymore, though.

I unintentionally laughed bitterly, and held my hands over Ranze-san.

Then, I took a deep breath.

“Suh……haa……”

“““…………”””

I feel a lot of stares from behind me.

For the time being, in order to activate 『Magic Creation』, it is necessary to recite a clear image and the magic name.

Once I’ve chanted the magic name to activate it, I can then use my skill 『No chant』 to activate it.

This is why a clear image is so important at first.

……A’re? The image of breaking a curse…… what’s that?

If it was about thinking of flames or something, I understood it, but…… how can I image a curse dispel?

The moment such a thought crossed my mind, I started to sweat coldly from my whole body.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! Ca,cacacalm down me!

This is…… fuwah! Does it feel like that? ……Ah, this is no good. I resent my poor imagination!

A,anyway, first of all, I have to imagine that Ranze-san will get well.

……I don’t know that, though!

For the time being, do I just call out 『Get well!』 in my head? …… Not good. I can’t see a vision beyond that ……

It’s already no good! There’s nothing else I can imagine! I’m getting desperate!

Well then, without delay…….…… Get well, get well, get well, get well, get well, get well, get well, get well ………….

I kept calling it out in my head like a broken record.

However, when I think about it later, it was probably a bad idea to repeatedly call it out in my head.

I just made a series of calls, but I’m sure I’ve visualized it well enough by now …… With that in mind, it was when I thought about the magic name and tried to say it.

“Get well!”

“““……………………”””

I did it grandly.

Aaaaaahh! I’ve done iiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

I unintentionally let it out of my mouth!? Terrible, the lines of sight I feel from behind hurts ……!

I felt as if a cold wind blew between me and everyone who worked at the royal castle.

Oh, man. I wonder what it is. After saying that so brazenly, here I am in a sorry sight. Can I cry?

With both my hands held up, I continue to sweat colder than I did at the beginning and harden.

However, the next moment, everyone froze, this time in a different way.

“Eh?”

“““!!!???”””

Suddenly, my hands began to shine, and that shine flew towards Ranze-san.

It was a situation that no one could have predicted, so everyone has stopped thinking and moving.

Then, another shock hit us.

“……Hmm……ah……?”

To our surprise, Ranze-san, who should have been in a deep sleep a while ago, woke up.

Ranze-san, who slowly raises his body, looks around and says a few words.

“……Ahn? Why is Seiichi here? And even you guys————”

『Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! 』

Everyone interrupted Ranze-san’s words and rushed towards him all at once.

In such appearance of everyone, Ranze-san had his eyes in monochrome.

“Oy, oy, oy, oy …… what’s going on!?”

To the surprised and confused Ranze-san, Louise and Florio-san calmly explained the situation.

Ranze-san who received the explanation, has a bitter look on his face.

“……I see. I, was dying from a curse huh……”

“Your Majesty. What do we do now? As I explained earlier, we believe that it was the Kaizer Empire that sent the assassin ……”

“I don’t know. It’s a hassle. …… Besides, the case itself is special. Since I didn’t expect that they would only send one person…… As expected, if there is only one opponent, it would be difficult for both the 【sea】 and 【mountain】 to make a move. We just have to be careful next time. There’s no need to unnecessarily make the people anxious by allocating extra troops here, right?”

“That is, true, but……”

I don’t know what it was, but they started a conversation I don’t understand. Sea? Mountain? I wonder if they’re going to go camping.

As I was thinking about something silly, Ranze-san suddenly turned to me.

“————Seiichi”

“Eh? Ah, yes!”

I who didn’t expect that he was the king, replied nervously.

At that sight of me, Ranze-san smiles bitterly.

“Don’t be so nervous. Since you’re my lifesaver, you know.”

“Hah……”

“Well then? Seiichi. How did you break the curse? No, in the first place, why did you even think of helping me? Do you want a backing named me, too?”

Ranze-san asked me with a serious expression, which was a complete change from earlier.

But …… even if he asked me why ……

“…… If I had to say it by force, I guess it’s for my self-satisfaction”

“Self-satisfaction?”

“Yes. The reason I came to this place today was because I won the Royal Capital Cup. That’s when I got caught up in this incident and ended up helping Ranze-san.”

“……”

“Ranze-san collapsed…… No, I didn’t know that Ranze-san was the king at the time, but anyway, when I heard that the king had fallen, I couldn’t bear to see the expressions of Louise and the others. That’s because, they were smiling just a moment ago, but then, it fell apart in an instant, you know? Maybe, I’m still only seeing the light side of this country, but still, in this city full of smiles, I couldn’t bear to see someone with a sad expression on their face. That’s why, I helped you. Since, I wanted them to laugh again.”

“Shishou……”

“……”

“Besides, to put it bluntly, it was a gamble of whether I could lift Ranze-san’s curse or not. After all, it was my first attempt!”

“You experimented on me!? Tentatively, I’m the king, you know!?”

No, really …… I’m sorry.

“I couldn’t even pretend about it anymore. It’s a funny story, but I don’t even know how I was able to break your curse. “

“Oy oy oy…… From what I’ve heard, you’ve used a new magic, right”

“Yes. Somehow, I was able to do it”

When I said that, Ranze-san had a tired look.

“……Is it something you can do somehow? Florio”

“It’s impossible. How difficult it is to create a new magic …… we understand it well because we use the same magic. Especially, if it’s a magic to break a 『curse』 that we’ve been powerless to do anything about ……”

“……Now, you get it?”

“Oh, you’ve done something amazing without knowing anything, me”

“…………Well, it’s fine. So? Let’s leave aside for a moment how you created a magic. But, can you at least tell me what kind of effect the magic has?”

Even if Ranze-san said so, I don’t know what kind of effect the magic I used earlier had.

……Yup. If I told them that I didn’t know, they’d probably ask a lot more questions, but I don’t know the truth, so it couldn’t be helped!

Therefore, it was the moment when I tried to tell him honestly.

In my brain, an inorganic voice flows.

『Skill 【Magic Creation】 has been activated. Reversal magic 【Get well】 has been created. 』

Goddamn!

I involuntarily quip. In my mind.

No no no! What’s with the magic name!? In addition, what’s reversal magic; it’s not a dispelling magic!?

Well, let’s still call reversal magic as good. It got the word “magic” on it properly. …… But, what does 【Get well】 mean to be its magic name!?

Aside from me who was quipping, the magic effect was displayed in a way that only I could see.

『Reversal magic: Get Well』……The magic sensei will reverse the 『curse』 applied to a target to a 『Blessing』, which can’t be understood well.

As I couldn’t understand well what was being displayed, and twisted my head, Ranze-san gave me a suspicious look.

“What’s wrong? Does it have an effect that is difficult to say?”

“Eh? No, that’s not the case, but ……”

There is no point in worrying about it by myself, so when I honestly teach Ranze-san and the others ————.

“““……………………”””

Everyone became speechless.

A,a’re? Did I, somehow do it again.

Aside from me who was anxious, Florio-san looked at Ranze-san with an observant gaze at great momentum. At that time, his eyes flashed for a moment, so I think he activated the 『Appraisal』 skill.

“Yo,your Majesty…… The 『Curse』 of 『Eternal sleep』 has changed to the 『Blessing』 of 『Everlasting health』 ……”

Everyone was dumbfounded by the lines of such Florio-san.

I don’t know, and I don’t mean to be rude, but I activated my appraisal skill on Ranze-san as well.

……No, it’s not! Eh? What’s this? Do all the kings exceed level 100? Well, whatever it is, it’s not something I could say, though! Still, let me say this. I envy your charm…….!

Other than that, what is that 【 Everlasting health 】 state of his?

The moment I thought this, the effects of 【Everlasting health】 emerged.

【Everlasting health】……Blessing. Extends the subject’s lifespan by 10 years, and makes them immune to lifelong illness. On top of that, they’re less likely to get injured

Somehow, outrageous effects have come out!?

…… Does this mean that the curse that will keep him asleep forever, called 【Eternal Sleep】 or something like that, has changed to this blessing that has a ridiculous effect?

If my guess is correct, then…… uwah. I think I know what everyone was raving about now……

Everyone, including me, was stunned, but as a result, I succeeded in lifting his curse safely.
