The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 099. delegation (2)

‘It’s an envoy.’

The confusion was only fleeting.

I was surprised because it was unexpected, but it is true that diplomatic relations will happen around this time.

It’s been 2 years since the original game started, and now it’s progressing faster than then.

However, originally, the first to establish diplomatic relations with the empire, but the first order was changed to the kingdom.

This may be because I, an apostle and at the same time the only human who has a relationship with them, is a member of the kingdom.

It’s clear from the fact that he made sure to include me in the delegation.

I was planning on going there anyway, but it would be nice if the painting changed from being secretly sent to being officially sent by the state.

I answered without hesitation.

“If you do, I will go.”

“… … .”

The King looks this way carefully.

Then ask

“There must be a reason why you chose one. Do you know?”

“There are places you can guess.”

“What is it?”

“I met a high elf at a tournament held in the Empire two and a half years ago.”

“them? Oh, that’s right.”

The king nods.

It had been centuries since the Elves had come out of Elvenheim, and the news had reached the kingdom.

“I think that’s when we met.”

“Because of what you did.”

“Nothing special. It’s all about chatting and sparring once.”

“… Did you fight?”

“yes. Because I was the winner. Lord Sigrun made the request first.”

Actually, there was no sparring, but even if I said it in moderation, I wouldn’t know it anyway.

Because at that time, as the selection of the saintess progressed, the contest and the winner were completely buried.

As expected, the king accepted my words without question.

Instead, he looked at me with a slightly surprised expression and muttered quietly.

“… It must have made a pretty good impression.”

Because it was only that much of a point of contact that earned the high elf’s favor.

Although it may not seem like a big deal, this is a huge national advantage.

First of all, the population of elves is at least overwhelmingly long, so each adult elf is as strong as a human knight.

Since they are bordering each other, they will be strong supporters if they can establish a friendly relationship.

‘Besides, once trust is given, they will never betray you first.’

It is different from humans who did not stop fighting and doubting each other even in the moment of mutual destruction.

That’s why you can cover it up and trust it, and you can be relieved.

The king knows that too, and for the first time today, the corner of his mouth goes up slightly through his cold expressionless expression.

In addition, perhaps because of my mood, the way I looked at this side at first (?) became much softer.

“good. Then, I will make the final decision that you go as the representative of the delegation.”

“yes.”

Since the next detailed schedule needs to be discussed separately, the public discussion has ended here.

“Details will be notified later.”

After the conversation, he glanced at me and Iris alternately and then asked.

“By the way, I have a personal question for my captain.”

“Tell me.”

“What level is the princess?”

“… yes?”

“I showed you how to use magic, but… . It’s a terrible power. Is that enough to help the Knights?”

There are many excellent knights in Carziel, so I wondered if blowing fire from the tips of your fingers would be helpful as a power source.

I noticed his true intentions as he looked at me with sharp eyes and asked.

‘Isn’t it necessary to have the background of the royal family, not the full force?’ ‘, he was asking.

It is a misunderstanding that can be made enough for him who does not know the circumstances.

Because he had never seen Iris’ full output magic.

But at the words that followed, I couldn’t help but laugh.

From noble mtl dot com

“A child who hasn’t caught a single insect is really at the level of the Knights… . what?”

“Oh, sorry.”

His expression slightly distorted from trying to hold back a laugh, he stops talking.

Looking to the side, Iris also lowered her head with a slightly reddened face.

Covering his mouth and shaking his shoulders, I thought he was in no state to answer, so I answered instead.

“You’re doing very well now, so don’t worry. The number of parasites in the belly of the monsters we caught earlier would be in the tens of thousands.”

“Um… ?”

“The field test has already been completed. The kingdom’s shield swears on the honor of the family, and among the current human wizards, there is no stronger than the princess.”

“… !!”

The king’s expression was surprised at the answer without my smile.

However, that surprise soon turns to bitterness.

Because with that the last remaining excuse for objection was gone.

“… is it.”

“it’s okay. As long as I am alive, it will take precedence over my own life.”

Even if anyone can say something, the weight is different depending on who said it.

I’ve actually saved Iris from an attack, so I’m not just talking about it.

He also shook his head with a more relaxed expression, as if he knew that.

“… Thank you for your words, but really, wouldn’t the chancellor be disappointed?”

“… yes?”

“You shouldn’t be too extreme about leaving your fiancé open. Besides, enlistment is a decision made by the princess, so shouldn’t you take responsibility yourself?”

You are responsible for your own choices.

It’s a matter of course, but it was truly like a leader of a country to say something that was so hard to put into practice.

But I was more focused on something else.

‘What did you just say?’

If I’m not mistaken, I think he brought up my engagement.

I asked, hiding my embarrassment.

“I mean, being a fiancé… .”

“hmm? The chancellor’s youngest daughter. I know it’s definitely the same knights. The chancellor told me many times.”

There are a lot of things to do alone on the job, but he said that he talked about me every time.

When Young-ae graduates from the academy, there is someone who has marked her as her son-in-law.

I asked in surprise.

“Did the Prime Minister really say that!?”

“What do you say as if you are hearing it for the first time? It is already widely known in the social world. Ah, well, you guys don’t go to places like that, so you might not know.”

My head hurt for a moment, but I barely showed it and answered.

“Ah, yes. Exactly.”

Duke Hayward is a man who knows everything.

Why would someone you know make things so complicated?

It’s about to break anyway.

Later, if someone is like this and publicizes it extensively to the social world… .

‘… uh?’

Then, for an instant, the back of my neck felt cold and I swallowed a dry saliva.

Something… Something is happening.

Intuitively, I had a strong feeling that some huge conspiracy was going on somewhere I didn’t know.

‘… … .’

I thought deeply about the feeling that I was going to catch something.

However, that thought did not carry on to the end.

“note!! greatness!”

“… ?!”

It’s a surprise.

All of her thoughts were blown away by Iris who suddenly cleared her throat loudly.

She looks at me and says something with a nervous expression.

“Go back now. hurry.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go back. We’re done talking. Obama must be busy too.”

“I am fine… .”

“no.”

The king said it was okay, but Iris was very stubborn.

He refuses to tell me to stay longer and goes outside, grabbing my wrist.

“Go quickly!”

“why.”

“… I, I feel like our knights are in some kind of crisis.”

“… ???”

So they say you have to go fast.

Seeing him even tell lies that don’t make sense, it looks like he really wants to go back.

Have you ever wanted to be in a palace?

It was her own house, so I wondered why, but if you think about it differently, it would have been a cage-like space for her when she was young, so I thought it might be like that.

I was planning to stay longer since I came all the way to the capital, but since the person himself wants to go like that, is there anything special?

The delegation will go through the northern part of the kingdom where the knights are stationed anyway, so you can go first.

Because you can join later.

“All right. Go right away, then.”

After saying hello to the king who was looking this way with a bitter expression, we left the palace right away.

Thanks to that, the thoughts I was thinking a while ago were completely erased from my head.

* * *

“A delegation?”

Sir Dyke, who was taking over my duties while I was gone, looked away from the paperwork and asked in a shocked voice.

I sat down next to him with two teacups and continued.

“yes. Have one.”

“… I need some explanation.”

I explained the situation.

About what you went and talked about with the king, and how it came to a conclusion.

The explanation was over soon.

“… So, we have to go to Elvenheim as an envoy.”

“… … .”

He looked confused for a moment, but soon calmed down.

“First of all, as a result, the captain’s job hasn’t changed.”

“Yes. What I had to do alone, the Knights got to do it together.”

“What are we going to do?”

“Nothing will happen. I feel like I’m being followed with a token of trust, and other people who are good at diplomacy will be in charge of practical work.”

In a word, I am like a totem.

He is confident that he will do well in practice based on his game knowledge if he is entrusted with it, but common sense makes it impossible to entrust a young knight in his early twenties with the important task of establishing diplomatic ties between countries.

Of course, it was rather good that I had a lot of free time.

“okay. Members will love it.”

“Why?”

“That’s right, isn’t it a space that has only been encountered through fairy tales?”

“ah… .”

but.

I’ve been in and out of the game several times, and since I’ve been there in real life, the mysterious image has been somewhat erased, but they will be different.

“Please arrange your schedule.”

“yes.”

After handing over his work, he came out of the office to explain to the members.

Heading to the training ground where the members will be gathered, I see two small, familiar heads in the distance.

“hmm?”

One is water-colored, the other silver-colored.

Uriel and Iris came out of the training ground and were talking about something seriously.

“… ?”

His expression was not serious, so he opened his eyes vaguely and examined the shape of his lips.

Yuriel could only be seen from behind, only Iris.

‘It was dangerous this time.’

‘… … .’

‘I don’t think the other side will do that… . First of all, I blocked it well… . Be careful in the future… .’

What are you talking about?

something meaningful.

I approached covertly.

“So from now on… .”

“what do you mean?”

“… !!!!”

“yes? yeah… . Aww!?!”

Magic is manifested at the same time that Iris is the flagship.

This has been a frequent occurrence in the past.

However, now that magic has been awakened, its power has greatly changed compared to that breeze from before.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!

“… !”

The magic that passed by my ear soon causes a huge explosion in the air.

Patter.

I muttered as I stared blankly at the sparks falling from the sky.

‘I’ll have to fix this habit sooner or later.’

It used to be at the level of cuteness, but now you don’t know what will happen if you startle it by mistake.

This is also part of repetitive training.

If you surprise them several times every day, you will develop a tolerance for it and it will be fine.

While thinking about that, Iris asked.

“Have you heard?”

“no.”

“Whew… .”

Relieved Iris.

Looking at Uriel, wanting something, she had already disappeared far away.

I was surprised, but thanks to the loud explosion, all the scattered members gathered here and there.

“Attention everyone.”

“… ?”

While they were gathered, they announced the schedule and prepared to leave for Elvenheim in time for the arrival of the delegation.

It was a week later that the delegation arrived.
