Chapter 230 Royal Entrustment, Princess as Military Supervisor
Chapter 230 Royal Commission, Princess as Military Supervisor~
"Yeah, I remember Huihui, you weren't planning on living off your parents and being a NEET. But looking at your clothes now, you must be doing quite well here on your own, right?"
"this……"
Huihui's pupils trembled. When she left the village, she had spoken too definitively, and now that someone was asking her about something she shouldn't have, she found it difficult to respond.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you not doing well?"
Dongdonggu was a little curious.
"No, that's not true at all~"
Huihui immediately retorted, and before anyone could see her reaction, she simply pushed up her blindfold, looking as if she had already seen through everything.
"Why don't you share your story with us? Maybe after we graduate from college, we'll come visit you again, or even settle down somewhere else!"
The girl, eating a chocolate crepe, said to Huihui, "Because of a crepe, I began to feel more favorably toward the outside world."
"Actually, life outside is incredibly terrifying. If you want to live outside, you have to be prepared for all sorts of terrifying humanoid monsters to attack your wallets and steal most of your money. And you can't use magic to attack those guys..."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Don't listen to Huihui's nonsense. It's just that the cost of living here in Axel is indeed higher than in our village. If you don't have a house, you'll need to rent one."
Youyou explained with a hint of helplessness.
"However, as long as everyone works hard to find a job, they can generally make a living in the outside world."
She added.
"Where does Huihui live now?"
"Don't say it~"
"Our home."
Huihui knelt on the ground, while the other Crimson Demon Clan girls looked at her speechlessly.
"I knew it! You came out full of ambition, but now you're being secretive and saying strange things. Turns out you haven't achieved independence yet!"
Sticky Curl immediately started complaining. Broly rubbed his eyes, thinking he had just seen things and thought there was an arrow stuck in Megumin's back.
"But even if you're a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) living off your parents, it's not something to be too ashamed of, is it?"
Another Red Demon girl said that there were just too many NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) living off their parents in the village, so much so that they felt it was normal for Huihui to be living off her parents.
"Broly, you don't mind if I come here and live off your parents from now on, do you?"
You Gou moved closer to the boy and asked him, seemingly jokingly.
"I don't mind, but I might not be here by then."
Broly is very generous to his friends.
"Where are we going?"
They're incredibly curious.
"go home."
Broly answered.
"Isn't this your home?"
"I have another home, and I'll have to go back when the time comes."
While the girls were making a ruckus over there, You Gou overheard Broly talking about material for a novel.
However, after the argument, everyone understood Huihui's situation and continued to play in Axel, but Huihui didn't say anything.
In the evening, Broly brought a large cake back from outside. Everyone sang a birthday song for Youyou, and Youyou was so moved that she was almost confused. The birthday party then came to a perfect end.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the gifts. Everyone else brought quite a few gifts, but the most special one was the necklace Broly gave me. It was also a magic-reducing item made of corona stone, but it was given as a birthday gift to Yoyo, who is also a mage.
The others also had this equipment, but Broly had temporarily entrusted it to Uncle Piaozaburo, asking him to take it out and give it to the others when the time came.
Of course, Megumin is an exception, since her birthday has already passed, and she already has a complete set of Corona Stone equipment that reduces mana consumption, although it is currently being made.
"We had a lot of fun. Now we're heading back. We'll definitely come back again if we have the chance."
The next day, the Crimson Demon girl, who had spent the night at the annex, waved goodbye to Megumin and Yuyu.
After using teleportation magic to send them back, life at the villa returned to normal.
But not long after, a special commission from the Belzegu royal family was delivered here, personally by the little princess accompanied by guards and magicians.
"Is the reward for defeating the Demon King's army very generous?"
Broly looked at the Belzeg royal family's commission in his hand with some surprise. As his return time entered the countdown, he was actually preparing to defeat the Demon King. However, he did not expect that someone would suddenly come to deliver the commission before he could even start.
"As long as you accept this mission, the Kingdom of Belzegu will not mistreat any meritorious person."
Kureya acted as the mouth double for the little princess, earnestly delivering the royal promise.
"Hmm~"
Princess Alice responded from the side, her face slightly flushed. She already knew that as long as the boy opposite her accepted the request...
Regardless of whether the commission can be successfully completed, as long as the other party demonstrates sufficient combat potential, she will represent the royal family and unite with them.
This is also the reward for accepting the commission to defeat the Demon King, and at the same time, it is to give the Belzeg royal family the obligation and responsibility to protect the country to the hero who was reincarnated from another world.
"We'll accept this commission."
Broly will take on any task related to defeating the Demon King's army anyway, so he might as well take on more commissions and earn more money.
"You can prepare your so-called generous rewards and wait for the news of the Demon King's army being defeated."
As Broly spoke, he saw Princess Alice and her entourage out of the house.
"Bang!"
Looking at the closed door, the little princess looked at her guards with some confusion.
"Was I turned away?"
Kureya was somewhat speechless. The boy was rather impulsive in his actions; he hadn't even waited for them to finish speaking before inviting them out.
"Knock knock knock~"
There was another knock on the door.
"Is there anything else?"
Broly, puzzled, poked his head out as the door reopened. He was doing a thorough cleaning at home, and it wasn't convenient to leave guests inside.
"Ahem, Princess Alice will be staying in Axel for a while, but she doesn't have a place to stay yet. Would you be able to find a place here?"
Kureya inquired tactfully.
"The hotels around Axel charge over two thousand eres per night, not including food. If you want to stay here, just give me six thousand eres per night, and I can prepare three rooms for you."
The villa that was purchased was very large; it could accommodate the Scarlet Demon Clan girl group when they came to stay some time ago. After hearing what Kureya said, Broly immediately quoted a fair price.
"Hey, do I have to pay for this?"
Some of the timid female magicians asked the question.
"If we don't charge you, are we going to let you stay for free?"
Broly stood at the door with his hands on his hips and asked a question, his posture exactly the same as Aqua's when she was in the Ichira era.
"Alright, then we'll pay and check in."
Kureya was also somewhat helpless, so she took out her wallet and started rummaging through Eris's pocket.
. . . .
"What? The little princess wants to stay at our house temporarily?"
The women, who had just returned from shopping, were somewhat incredulous upon hearing the news.
"Master Aqua, didn't you always say you wanted to rent out empty rooms to make money? They just happened to want to stay overnight, so I agreed."
"So how much money did you receive?"
"Six thousand erys in one night."
"What a loss, such a fool... cough cough, honored guests, they should be staying in a room that costs 60,000 Eris a night, quickly prepare a superior room for them."
Kureya: "..."
"You were just trying to call me a sucker, weren't you? You rude wretch, apologize to Princess Alice right now!"
After a period of commotion at the villa, Princess Alice and her entourage settled in for a temporary stay, paying six thousand erys a day.
After hearing Broly's explanation of the royal commission he had received to defeat the Demon King's army, Aqua and the others unanimously speculated about the true purpose of the little princess who was temporarily staying at their home.
"Temporary residence is a pretense; military supervision is the real purpose. The commission only states generous compensation but doesn't specify the exact amount, so it's probably a performance-based payment system."
