The Awarding ceremony ended up strange. The victory was declared to Aidle, but there were no problems with that, the problems were who to declare for the second and third place.

The heroes were tied-up and enslaved with slavery collars for many crimes, like kidnapping, intimidation, violating of rules of competition, and even declaring the intention to destroy the country. As a result, the heroes were greatly restricted in their actions and trying to activate their skills would be nothing more but foolishness. They were also made to take no other actions than those that were necessary or what was authorized beside being sent to the castles jail. So, they have declared La Veil to be in the second place.

Next, Morial was declared as 3rdranked. It was because other than him, everyone else quit, knowing what they would end up with if they fought the hero. Also because they want to consider Morials current condition. However, it was impossible for Morial to appear at that time with his condition, so Suvia was assigned to receive it and would hand it to him later.

At first, Suvia rejected the offer, but when they said that he would definitely be pleased if he received it and with Aidle directly handing it to her, she reluctantly accepted it.

And that awarding ceremony was held inside the castle. The ones present during the awarding were Aidle, Arena, La Veil and Suvia, and those who witnessed it were senior nobles and royal knights that served as guards, along with Mondol who was seated at the throne.

A lot of troublesome things have happened, but I was happy that we were able to end it peacefully. As for the rewards, I will be sending it to everyone in accordance to the level of battle performance they have displayed

The king then stood up and grabbed a scroll handed by a knight standing beside him.

First of all, as substitute of the magician Morial, miss Suvia, come forward

Ha, Hai!!

Mondol was declaring the rewards while holding himself back from giggling due of Suvias nervousness.

The reward will be 300 gold coins and 10kg of revenant ore. I will be straightforward with you, from now on be sure to live strongly without getting lost

Ha, Hai!! Thank you very much!!

Um. Next in line is, the runner-up, Violent Storm of Roaring Flames La Veil

Umu!!

La Veil came up front and in a majestic stance. Although she was just in runner-up position, she still showed a satisfied look.

You will be awarded 500 gold coins and an ancient magic tool from the age of myths, a Ring-Type Item Box with limitless capacity. With the battle capabilities and strong will that you have displayed, such award would probably be not enough for a person who would even deserve to be called a goddess of war.

You can leave it to me!!

And finally, the winner, the leader of Fairys Banquet , a Peach from the Town of Blooming Ice, Aidle, come forward

Hai!!

Aidle came up front in her usual way. Now that the power of fairy magic have subsided completely, the nobles who were watching here where commenting things like Is that really the person who defeated that hero and was fighting in the finals? and were staring at her with doubtful eyes. At the same time, they were fascinated by her cute gestures and lovely appearance.

For the time being, I will be offering 1000 gold coins and a wish No, lets make it three wishes as an exception this time. Your achievements were not only hailed within the Stadium, but you were also the one who has freed this country from the darkness lurking within it, you can tell me anything you desire and this country will provide as much as they can accommodate within its acceptable range

Aidles PoV:

Ohh, an unexpected opportunity appeared in front of me. Well, I was expecting something different though. I was actually thinking that they would actually scold me for treating the heroes as criminals, but instead I only received warm gazes from everyone when I came here. What, what is with these old geezers? Are they thinking that I resemble something like their grandchild or something? Are they all idiotic gramps?[ED: Might mean something like silly doting gramps here.]

Oops, I lost track for a bit there. Because I was given the chance to ask for three wishes, there was no need to negotiate. Ill just return later for the others, but I will confirm the first one.

Then for the first one, we, the three of Fairys Banquet would like to have a meeting with the king and his closest aides with the highest position of authority

um, fine that shall be granted!!

It passed. Well, if we declare to only meet the king then there will be a lot of complaints that would fly out so instead I decided to include other people close to the king.

The next one. I want a border pass that would allow us free access to anywhere, in this country and others if possible

That is also fine. We will prepare the pass at a later time

This one is also OK. Then the last request before we proceed with the meeting.

The last one would be, permission to access the royal library

Well for adventurers, that sure is a rare request, I didnt expect that. As long as you wont be damaging or stealing any of the books then it would be fine. Ill also issue a permit for that at a later time. Is that everything?

Hai, thank you very much

Well, I didnt expect to actually be nervous about this. I have been through a lot and all, but maybe a part of my past lifes interaction got awakened. When I returned to my previous location, the king eased up and returned to his seat.

This is the end of the awarding ceremony. Suvia, you may leave

Ha, hai, e, excuse me

After she left, the King stood up once more and walked in front of Arena. Is the something he wants?

Arena of Fairys Banquet. I have called for you this time because I wanted to apologize. First, it is about the heros outrageous action, and the other is about the bet

The king began speaking in a loud voice so that everyone on the venue could hear him that includes all the nobles present.

First of all, in regards to the abduction

With that said, the words spoken by the King caused a little uproar, but he immediately ordered everyone to calm down.

We are asking forgiveness. We were the ones who were supposed to be in charge of watching over the heroes, yet we werent able to stop them. I know its a shameless request due to our own carelessness, but are you willing to forgive us?

It was probably the best form of apology he could offer. Even as a King of a country, he gave priority to his own personal feelings and apologized to a single adventurer without even thinking about his pride or majesty. I look towards Arena, and when I told her do what you want she smiled with great enthusiasm and approached the king. A Royal Knight wary of the move tried to stop her but was ordered to let it be.

When she was in front of the king, she lightly brushed his cheeks and made him raise his face. The two were staring at each other.

Everything Forgiven. Ojii-chan a good person!!

O, Oji!?(zukyun)

After Arena called him Ojii-chan, the king showed a big satisfied smile. As for me and La Veil, we trust Arenas words and with that, our trust for the king has also become firm. There will be no mistake if it was decided by Arena. Ill have to confirm things later though. There was also that sound as if something was shot straight at the king must be my imagination. The king was trembling.[ED: Arena strikes again]

is, is that soI am extremely grateful

Ehehe~

Oi, Ojii-san. Why are you suddenly patting Arenas head? Do you want to be killed by La veil? Oi, La Veil, put away that halberd, why did you take that out? No, that is not your privilege that was originally my privilege.

Seemingly satisfied, he now moves to the next topic of the agenda. Fuuuu

Regarding the bet, after all our calculation, it was an amount closely equivalent to our countrys operational funds for the next 1000 years

Wha!?

Speaking of operational funds of the country, it would income coming from taxes and trade gathered from territorial nobles that governs different regions. The nobles were too shocked after hearing about the bet reaching a 1000 year equivalent of all their income combined. I see, thats it huh, theres just no way for them to secure such an amount even if they did their best, not in at least 1000 years that is.

I am sorry in regards to that, but I would like for the bet to at least be settled on a term based payment and we will only be paying a bit of it upfront. The rest would be processed through the adventurers guild every month. Id like to ask for forgiveness in regard to that too

Hmmm emergency consultation!!

Arena came back to us and the three of us from Fairys Banquet held an impromptu meeting.

What do you want to do? Whatever you decide, I accept it so theres no problem here

I am also the same. So what do you want Arena?

All Donations!!

Just as we thought

I hold them up for a it. Ill decide after confirming some things if they would be possible. Depending on that, we will offer to donate everything. It didnt really affect us because that money was originally nothing to us, but then if we say that it would be a donation, we might be able to add one more request.

And so I decided to ask for a substitute in exchange for the money, the question is if the king would agree to that.

I will be taking over about the talk about the money. I wont make it worse so you can have a peace of mind, but it may also become a difficult problem altogether. So is it OK to suggest?

I dont mind it. This is not a good place to have this. So let us move to a better place to listen to your terms

Where we went to was a meeting room used by the royal family. The king sat down on a chair with a tall desk in front, and those who are his close aides sat near him, while the three of us were seated in front of him.

Let us introduce everyone in here

Yes, let us do so

After hearing my agreement, the King started.

I am Mondol Virtella Galania, who is crowned and in charge of managing this kingdom of Galania, the ones seated to my side to the left is the head of finance which seems to also know about everyone

I am the Director of Finance BelmourVeitiro. Thank you for your help in regards to my daughter and husband when you visited Canaria.

So this person was Astel-sans wife. He did mention before that she was working in the royal capital, but I didnt expect to meet her in this place.

How did you hear about us?

You see, they were sending me a lot of letters talking about the things you were doing

Belmour-san was happily smiling as she was saying that. What was written on those letters, well I can somehow imagine what the contents would be.

Cohon, well that is for the introductions then next here would be the prime minister in this country

It would be the first time for you to meet Aidle-dono and everyone. This one is called Duke Meinen Belland

Pleased to meet you

He was a man in his 50s who was donned with a splendid beard. A duke, is he a member of the Royal Family?

I was being considerate of the atmosphere, as the young ladies introduce themselves

He is quite a friendly person and knows how to go with the flow, and Meinen-san then chuckled lightly as we were having a conversation.

And finally, the one standing on my left, the commander of the royal knights

I am Magenta Niles. I have also been called here, but you can ignore my presence and go on, I will be keeping to myself everything that will be discussed so rest assured

After saying his introductions, he went back to the wall and stood at attention. I dont know if he was thinking that I might be a noble or something since thats the air he was showing. Well, I am not really one though.

Next will be our turn to introduce ourselves. I will also be introducing myself both as leader and representative.

I am Aidle, to my sides are Arena and La Veil. We three are working together as a party called Fairys Banquet

The three of us stood up, bowed then returned to our seats. We will now begin our discussions.

As a start, Aidle, may we hear the reason why you specifically need to ask me in this kind of meeting? Oh, in terms of formality, you can speak as you wish. The people present were not really concerned about it.

Oh, is that so? Then lets end this formal way of speaking. Its something that when I started talking formally it was the first time for even La Veil or Arena to have heard.

We are travelling the world for a purpose, but we would need to ascertain the personality of those we would want to disclose it to, that is why we require to meet them in person, and that person must be of a high rank within countries, like a representative. A trusted individual would be given a certain letter, and that person we decided is you so we wanted to meet you in private

I see so first thing we must do is to gain your trust

Thats about it

Well, well just see whats going to happen but for the time being Arena. Concentrate on the meeting for a bit, Im starting to lose my concentration looking at you stuffing your face with cookies they have served. La Veil too, stop asking for more and telling them to bring more confections. Look the prime minister who was stern a while ago already turned into a goofy old grandpa!!

Sorry about this really

No, same here too sorry

Arena, eat slowly, youll choke if you stuff yourself like a critter. La Veil please hold back a bit
