Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 238

 

Education



"I feel old..."


It's been a while since he came back from the three countries.


Shiro-san, who had no particular work to do, muttered something like that on his chair.


"What's wrong all of a sudden?"


I had finished washing the dishes.


I'm sitting in a chair across the desk from Shiro-san.


"Wince, don't you think I used to be more active?"


"That's right. In the past, you were scolded by the people around you for doing random requests."


But times are different.


With the development of tools and knowledge


Monsters and beasts that we used to have a hard time dealing with are no longer a threat.


In fact, the number of requests for adventurers has decreased dramatically.


And to add to that, the rewards per request have increased.


The guild is working out the details so that adventurers don't end up on the street.


"Isn't it a sign of old age that we're happy to spend time doing nothing?"


"Well then, shall we fuck to pass the time?"


"I won't! Shaking your hips in the middle of the day is like a beast!"


Too bad.


I should have come more naturally.


"Suddenly there's nothing to do."


"Yeah, well..."


The city is developing well


More buildings are being built.


More residents.


More products


In the midst of this, a letter arrives


It was from Quies


[Secure a lot of land of the size I have indicated. Make this a top priority.]


Now there was nothing left to do.


"Father, Mother. A letter has arrived!"


Sedona came rushing into the house.


"What's the rush?"


"Mother, look at this letter!"


At first glance, I noticed something unusual about the letter.


It was too ornately decorated to be a letter.


Gold was used here and there.


The sealing wax was much sturdier than usual.


"Uwa, I have a bad feeling about this."


Shiro-san makes a troubled face


But we couldn't avoid looking at it.


The three of us check the contents of the letter.


-Shiro-sensei, Wince-sensei, Sedona-


-How are you?-


-It has been decided that Giran's coronation ceremony will be held on * day-


-Therefore, I am sending this letter to all three of you to ask for your participation-


-We will prepare formal clothes, changing clothes, accommodation, etc.-


"Is it time for Quies to retire too?"


"Even so, I feel like it is too early. I think he should wait a little longer."


"But it's hard being a king, isn't it? I think he wants to get comfortable as soon as possible."


We are having such a hard time with just one territory.


Being a king is an unimaginably heavy responsibility, isn't it?


But more than that


"Shiro-san"


"Hmm?"


"What is a coronation ceremony?"


I don't know what a coronation is


"It's when a person is crowned by someone who is a king in status."


"Have they ever done that before?"


"I heard this is the first time."


Shiro-san speculates that Quies will bestow the crown on Giran.


"Well... it's Giran's big day. If we don't attend, we will be resented."


"Yes. It would be interesting to see Giran tense up and stiffen up."


Participation is confirmed.


There's plenty of time left before the date.


"Then it's decided!"


Just for a moment.


I think I'm looking at it wrong.


Sedona's face had a wicked grin on it, like she'd just caught her prey.


"Mother, what's wrong?"


"Eh? Yeah, maybe I'm a little too slow due to my age?"
