Chapter 451: Meeting with the Prime Minister

"Then is there any opinion from Ambassador Marie? Surely you will not say there is no need for training to kill people, right? Why can Ambassador Marie easily cut people?"

The Prime Minister asked again.

"In my case..."

"In Ambassador Marie’s case?"

"Forced by necessity, in order for myself to be saved I had no choice but to cut the enemy, that is it."

"That is?"

"With an enemy trying to kill me in front of me, when placed in the situation that if I do not kill that enemy I myself will be killed, the inside of the head becomes pure white and I become unable to think unnecessary things, and concentrate on defeating the enemy. Therefore for example, a loved person..."

I make a pause and look at Her Majesty the Queen.

"When trying to save, and cutting those who try to do bad things to that person, with the single mind of thinking of that person I do not think of other things. Therefore I think I can cut people. Well, even saying that, cutting people has the aspect of getting used to it. If I were stronger, I might have been able to manage without killing the enemy. Because there is no difference in ability with the enemy I could not hold back and ended up killing the enemy, it can also be said."

Looking at Her Majesty the Queen sideways once more, Her Majesty the Queen is slightly narrowing her eyes. She seems happy.

"That means, if the hero is driven into a life-or-death situation the hero will have no choice but to kill people, is that it?"

If driven into a kill or be killed situation.

"Can you drive the hero into such a situation? The hero is already quite strong, right? Wouldn’t such a situation not occur with a little or so?"

"Yes, that is so."

"In that case, no one can match the hero, and it also feels as though one cannot deliberately make them experience killing people?"

"Indeed that might be so."

"Then it also feels as though there is nothing that can be done? Moreover when facing the enemy, even without killing the enemy it is fine if made unable to fight. For example breaking the bones of the feet?"

"Yes, if said that, that is so. I will convey it."

If there is no one who can match fighting normally then that is fine. Even punching they can probably do, and if extremely strong then on the battlefield going around breaking the bones of the enemy’s arms and legs would also seem to suffice. Thinking that, I thought heroes are cheat.

"If, an assumption, if Ambassador Marie tries to kill the hero, would the hero also desperately have no choice but to kill Ambassador Marie? Ah, no, this is purely an assumption talk, if that were the case? I said only that, please do not take it seriously."

The Prime Minister said it himself, and midway seemed to think this is bad, and began wiping sweat.

"As an assumption, even if I fought the hero, from hearing the talk I think the hero has already become stronger than me. Therefore I think no matter how I do it I cannot make the hero serious."

When I say, the Prime Minister,

"That is also so. In that case, does it mean no one can measure the hero’s skill anymore."

he muttered.

I said if the enemy is made unable to move it is fine, but I think the hero has never even punched a person until now. In that case, even breaking bones might not be possible.

"That aside, how is the girl in question that Ambassador Marie is taking care of?"

The girl in question, from the flow of the talk, is about Konoka.

"She is doing energetically. Energetically means compared to when she was at the previous mansion. It is not that she is crying the whole time and nothing gets done, and we are having her work as a maid of the embassy."

"Hoh. Then has any sign of talent become visible?"

"No, nothing."

"Is that so? I have heard that the summoned ones have some blessing from the god?"

Yes, that is the standard flow of light novels.

"Since the person herself says nothing, it seems there is none. The blessing from the god that the Prime Minister said, was it described in some book?"

"No, that is not it. I heard it from Division Head Hütter."

"Is that so. What did Division Head Hütter read to say that. If there is a book I would also like to read it."

"I am sorry, but that is impossible. Books cannot be shown to ones from other countries."

I see, it becomes that. Well, it is not that I want to know that far.

"However I was surprised that that girl is working normally. I would like to meet once, is it all right?"

The Prime Minister says, but

"That might be impossible. She has a good impression toward Her Majesty the Queen, but toward men she still has a sense of avoidance. If meeting His Excellency the Prime Minister she might go crazy again. I want to maintain the current state, so for a while could you refrain?"

"Yes, is that so? Then it cannot be helped."

He seemed to give up for the time being.

"Is that so, then tomorrow I will go to meet."

"Haa?"

"Did you not hear? I am saying I will go to meet Takamoto Konoka. Is it no good?"

"Her Majesty the Queen, even if said to come to the embassy so casually it is troublesome."

When I say that, the Prime Minister also,

"Her Majesty the Queen, visiting the Marie Kingdom embassy is synonymous with visiting the Marie Kingdom."

backs me up.

"I see, disappointing. Then shall I go to meet the Duchess of Vélez after a long time?"

"Eh?"

"After a long time it is fine, right? Prime Minister, it is all right, right?"

Her Majesty the Queen turns the talk to the Prime Minister with a bad smile. The Prime Minister while making a face as if biting a bitter bug, an extremely bitter bug,

"Understood. I will guide. Surely the duke will not come out, I think."

"Please."

My mood is not on board but it cannot be helped.

Later contact came from Her Majesty the Queen. When conveying the intention of visiting to the Duchess of Vélez, there was a reply of "Due to illness I cannot meet." Then when conveying wanting to go visit the sick, there was a polite refusal reply from the duke of "Because it might infect, I cannot meet."

And several days later, the light of the Hero Summoning in the direction of the Hagen Empire was visible even in the Royal Capital, and thereafter it was conveyed that the Hero Summoning ceremony was performed in the Empire.
