The royal castle of Ryuse.
It’s what you’d expect from a big country. It’s much larger than the one in Minowa, and extravagant. And I’m standing before it with Kanna and Reve.
“The party is this way.”
Says a government official of this country.
After walking through the vast castle for a while, we reach a really big door.
“Thank you for guiding us.”
“No, this is my job.”
The government official gives Reve a light nod, and opens the door.
“Ooh…”
I let out that sound when I see what’s behind the door.
It’s a dazzling party venue you would see in an anime. I see food lined up, and nobles from various country chatting, in their uniforms.
It’s something I would never experience in my old world. This overwhelming sense of high class makes me really impressed.
Wow. There’s a world like this…
“Let’s go.”
I follow Reve into this world.
“…”
We walk through the party, and while some people peek our way, no one talks to us.
“Well then, we were invited to a party, so we might as well have fun. It’s the first stage of the coronation.”
This is the pre-celebration party the day before the coronation.
The people here are influential people from various countries, who will be attending the coronation.
“…So?”
“…Ahh. There are few countries who are stronger than us, uh?”
“…Yes. If we are counting this place alone, there are probably few countries with better military strength.”
The guards in this place.
Like Reve, most influential people here brought two guards. They wouldn’t bring an army or anything.
And because this is a place where one can only bring a couple of elite people, Minowa can be proud of its power.
Well, would I be able to defeat a small country? Yes.
“…My guards are being violent suddenly. Is that how you respond to let’s have fun?”
“We have to be cautious. We are not up to having fun.”
“No, I’m not like that, Kanna. I’m actually looking forward to the food.”
“…Are you going to be a glutton here?”
“Yes.”
“Fufufu, isn’t that fine? You can go around eating what you want.”
“Yes. Then I’m leaving the guarding to you for now, Kanna.”
“Ah, hey.”
“See you later.”
I leave Reve to Kanna, and go around the party alone.
Nothing’s going to happen so soon, right?
“This is good.”
I start filling my mouth with the food placed around here.
Everything here is so good… It’s a happy time for me. I’m having my fill of this party by myself.
Yesterday, Reve asked me to walk around here alone. I’m wary of people who have Appraisal like me, and constantly protecting my stats with a barrier.
I make sure my stats don’t reveal what I am… But if someone sees, they’ll know I’m not normal.
Reve asked me to show I’m strong, so I’m going to do that.
“Tasty.”
I’m using those words as an excuse to go around filling my stomach. But I am taking manners into account.
“Maid, can I have a drink”
“…Eh? This is alcohol, so you are too young…”
“Don’t worry, I’m immune to poison. I want to have that drink.”
“…Immune?”
“…I can’t?”
“It’s the rules…”
“I see… Too bad.”
I can’t have alcohol.
I wanted to see what kind of alcohol is served in a party like this… Too bad. I guess my shota body can’t get any.
“No, I think it’s fine for him.”
I hear someone say far from me.
“Oh?”
I turn to look, and see a handsome red-haired man clad in armor.
“…!? K-Knight Captain Rohast!?”
“Will you let him have it, for me?”
“Y-yes!? Here…”
“Great. Thank you.”
The man the maid called knight captain has the final word over her, and I get my drink.
