 Episode 440 - Let's Misunderstand

Royal Castle Delgura, Training Ground

Here goes!

A training ground in Royal Castle Delgura. There were only two people there now: Prince Sieg and Naoki. Since Naoki's ability to handle the White Sword was being kept secret at present, everyone else had been sent away. And then, Naoki grabbed the white swordWhite Dividerand activated Magic Sword Unleashing immediately after.

Wow, it's glowing white...

Prince Sieg raised his voice. Then the White Sword began to shine, and the light emitted by the sword started turning into a human shape, forming a white warrior. It was a man with a brawny body who was unknown to Prince Sieg.

Was this figure released from the White Sword?

Indeed; after the White Sword was shown to me in Tsuvara, I was able to gradually analyze the contents. This is the form of the warrior's soul inside.

Naoki had drawn out the SkillWarrior's Memoryinside the White Sword (which Kazane had copied) with Magic Sword Unleashing.

Aneki also possessesWarrior's Memoryas a Skill, but it's a far cry from this warrior's actual ability. The Synchronization Rate being set to 100% with the Window's function doesn't actually mean you're able to perfectly handle this warrior's techniques.

... No way!

After all, there were physical differences. Prince Sieg used 100% of what he could handle with his body. And even after growing up, there would be discrepancies with the warrior's techniques unless his body became exactly the same.

And so, use this thing!

Then Naoki took an Adamantium sword out of his Item Box and handed it to Prince Sieg.

This is?

Since my magic swords are too dangerous for you, this is the only weapon I possess you'll be able to properly fight with. Give it back later. You'll use this to fight with the Unleashed state of the White Sword over there.

After Naoki's words, Prince Sieg tilted his head.

What do you mean?

Listen up! At the end of the day, when handling the White Sword, you won't be able to properly manifest its power unless you synchronize your swordsmanship with theWarrior's Memorydwelling inside it. Having said that, even if you do that synchronization with your body as it is, you won't be able to manifest its true power. With me so far?

Yes.

Prince Sieg nodded.

It isn't a mere unification. You need to be in sync with the White Sword and fight with its cooperation. For that reason, you have to confront the White Sword'sWarrior's Memoryitself. I was thinking that actually driving what you need to learn into your body would be the best method.

As expected of Master Naoki.

Although Prince Sieg didn't really understand, he obediently praised Naoki. He was a handsome guy, so Sieg thought he was surely amazing.

So then, try fighting it. With all your strength.

Yes!

Prince Sieg started fighting according to Naoki's instruction, and in the middle of watching him, Naoki looked up by himself. Beyond the ceiling of the atrium, he could just barely see part of Royal Castle Delgura. The Queen's throne room should be there.

(Aneki, I'll hold this guy in check)

Naoki muttered a line as if he was taking on an enemy in the middle of the Last Boss' fortress, but he was only doing normal training. Also, he was afraid of Yuuko-nee's punishment, so he wouldn't cut any corners.

Putting that aside, inside the Queen's throne room Naoki was looking toward, Kazane was standing opposite to Yuuko-nee and one other person

Royal Castle Delgura's, Queen's Throne Room

In the Queen's throne room, Tiara and Mefirus were the ones most surprised by the presence of Tatsuyoshi in front of them.

Why is Uncle Shelkin here?

However, it seemed they thought the man in front of them was Audin's younger brother and Mefirus' son, Shelkin. They resembled each other that strongly.

No, wait, Tiara. His hair color has changed from blonde to black. In other words, he must have disguised himself and defected to Minshiana.

Huh?

Next to the stunned Kazane, the conversation between Tiara and Mefirus continued. Both Tiara and Mefirus knew that Yuuko-nee had rubbed Shelkin's plump belly together with Kazane in Tsuvara. So it seemed they suspected that he had been taken in by Minshiana's Queen Yuuko.

Since he's my descendant, perhaps it was unavoidable, but I never expected he would be seduced by beauty and abandon his wife and child to become the lover of a neighboring country's Queen.

Even though the lack of such imprudent parts was the only thing I respected about you. In the end, you have the same blood as Father and Grandfather flowing through your veins. Betraying Yui... I misjudged you, Uncle!

The two people were heating up. Tiara inadvertently said something terrible, but her father and grandfather were reaping what they sowed, so there was no right to object.

Although, thinking normally, it was almost impossible for Shelkin to have overtaken Kazane's carriage and come here, but the two seemed too fired up to notice. And then, Mefirus unsheathed his flame sword.

This is a disgrace on our family name. I won't be able to face King Tatsuyoshi. I'll at least make you atone for this sin with my own hands!

Calm down, former king Mefirus.

When Mefirus was about to spring forward, Yuuko-nee extended her hand and put her strength into it. Thereupon, Mefirus' body, which had started to move, instantly stiffened.

Nuo

Mefirus was surprised by that. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his body. Tiara was also startled by that.

Good grief, I told you to properly explain to the people of Tsuvara's royal family.

Yuuko-nee's gaze was directed at Roger.

I'm, I'm very sorry.

Roger responded while in a cold sweat, but he hadn't had a chance to talk due to Kazane rushing forward. On top of that, Tiara and Mefirus made a completely unimaginable misunderstanding. Roger didn't predict it in the slightest.

Uu, I can't make him move.

Tiara was flustered, and Yuuko-nee called out to her.

Calm down, Princess Tiara. I have a contract with the highest-ranking flame spiritBursting Flame Dragon Salamandra. I can stop the movements of a summoned being of the same attribute with my will alone.

No way...

Tiara had secretly been becoming highly confident in her own summoning skill, so that reply was shocking. Naturally, Resistance affected Yuuko-nee's domination ability, but the difference in power between the two easily crushed it.

By all rights, drawing a weapon in this room should be an inexcusable situation no matter what crime someone is charged with. Have the flames gone to your head? Former king Mefirus?

Gu, as ever, you're a harsh woman.

While saying that, Mefirus confirmed that the binding had been lifted and sheathed his fire sword.

So then, explain what's going on. Even if you're the Queen of Minshiana, capturing a member of our country's royal family isn't an excusable offense.

I'm saying that this person isn't Shelkin-dono. I would like to rent him if I could, though.

After Yuuko-nee's words, both Mefirus and Tiara looked at the person next to her.

A different person?

That isn't Shelkin? However, that face looks exactly like King Tatsuyoshi's honorable countenance; he's unmistakably my blood relation.

I truly think it would have been better if there were no traces of that blood relationship in my face, but it's certain.

When a depressed person saidAs expected, she finds it unpleasantafter those words, Yuuko-nee saidNow, nowto comfort him. And the answer to that person's identity came from Mefirus and Tiara's companion, Kazane.

That plump person is Tatsuyoshi-kun. King Tatsuyoshi from 600 years ago himself's... copy, I guess you could say?

Well discerned. Well, it's no surprise that you understood right away, though.

After Kazane's words, Tatsuyoshi nodded, but he was a little teary eyed from being dissed by his descendant. Tiara and Mefirus stiffened in response

Hmm. What do you mean?

Jinrai, who wasn't particularly agitated, chose that time to ask. Also, Shippuu and Yuuko-nee were both tilting their heads as they criedNya?Naa?

This Tatsuyoshi-kun is the Navigator for the Transfer Quest; in short, a guide. The person himself prepared this copy 600 years ago... that's fine, right?

After Kazane's words, the Tatsuyoshi copy nodded, but Jinrai tilted his head. It seemed he didn't really understand. But the effect on Tiara and Mefirus was dramatic.

That's King Tatsuyoshi?

Uhh, what do you mean?

At the present point, Mefirus knew that Tatsuyoshi was a player. He had already been informed by Kazane. However, with the details being what they were, as a believer in King Tatsuyoshi, Mefirus thought that fact shouldn't be thoughtlessly disseminated and had been hiding it from Tiara.

Kazane, I don't understand either?

And her fellow player, Yumika, also tilted her head. Yumika had never accepted or created a Transfer Quest, so she didn't know either.

Err. When creating a Transfer Quest, you can configure the place where it generates and the guide. The default setting is a copy of the player character, which can be modified with the Character Creator, but to have it act like the person themself, you can also set several questions and responses.

After Kazane's words, Tatsuyoshi nodded and supplemented.

Yeah. In this world, there's no category for such questions, and my personality was copied in its entirety instead.

After that, Yumika said something she was wondering about.

Why is he here now? The Quest was generated, but he didn't appear in front of us?

It's because they appear at the Quest Event Generation Point. I think he hasn't appeared for us because we haven't gone there yet.

That was why Yuuko-nee told them she turned back after she went to the inn. Immediately after she made the Navi Character appear, she left the Quest alone.

On the way back from the coronation ceremony, I stopped by Torda Hot Spring Town and started the Transfer Quest. Immediately after we arrived in Minshiana, I went to Reisan City's Sesu Inn under the pretext of an inspection.

As she spoke those words, Roger made a bitter expression. Not many days had passed since the coronation ceremony ended. It was easy to imagine that they had been correspondingly pushed.

In other words, a fake?

Blunt.

After Yumika's words, Kazane groaned and replied.

I'm sorry, um... I can't keep up with the conversation, but can I ask one thing for now?

Mefirus seemed to have recovered from the shock and started talking to Tatsuyoshi Copy. Tatsuyoshi Copy nodded in response.

You aren't His Majesty King Tatsuyoshi himself, right?

After that question, Tatsuyoshi Copy prefaced his response withIt's like this.

From your point of view, you can think of me as a spirit preserving the memory of King Tatsuyoshi, I suppose? The copied memory is from when he was 64 years old, so I have no memories of anything after that, though.

After Tatsuyoshi Copy's reply, Mefirus got fired up.

Um, what's this?

After Kazane's question, Tiara bitterly smiled.

It seems he's gotten excited. Grandfather has always been a big fan of King Tatsuyoshi.

Since long ago, Mefirus-sama has talked about King Tatsuyoshi at length whenever he has come up.

Mmm. I often heard about him during pillow talk.

After Tiara's words, Jinrai and Louise subsequently spoke.

Apparently, he was very happy.
