CHAPTER 51 THE KING OF TREATS

This might be a very rude question, but

While going to the palace, Simon asked.

I had heard that Lucio-sama had deciphered more than a thousand Grimoires, freely control a thousand of magic, and is being called Senjukou. Is that true

Thats right

I reached out my hands, and used magic.

I created a match-like fire from my left hands thumb, and a sharp ice pillar on my pointing finger.

I created a whirlwind in my middle finger, wrapped my ring finger with lightning.

Different ones to all of my fingers, I used ten kinds of attack magic.

Of course, I used them in their weakest strength.

Ohh!

Simon got excited.

Just like this, I can use a lot of kinds. Their number, un, probably more than nine thousand

That much! T-Then

Un?

To be able to read that many Grimoires, is there a trick for it

A trick?

Yes, a trick for reading Grimoires. I have been reading Grimoires for a long time, but I still cannot understand it. So, if theres a trick to it

Is that so

Something like that huh.

Both Ojii-san and also the King, I had heard similar worries from the people around me.

For me, its just a manga, so I can read one volume of it for minutes, but most of the people in this world cannot understand it. It would take years for them to read one book.

I tried a lot of things for those people to be able to read.

Something like trying to create anime with magic, I tried a lot of things, but there still isnt a result.

I myself can read it easily, but its difficult to make other people read.

Simon scratched his head, and started talking with his face red.

Actuallythis is a very embarrassing story, but it is a task handed to me by my childhood friend. She said that if I read that Grimoire and used magic, she will marry me

Marry you if you used magic?

I couldnt help but stop my feet, and look up to Simon.

ThatI want to help him.

That, what kind of Grimoire is it?

Its this!

Simon took out a Grimoire from his waist in a hurry, and passed it to me.

Hes carrying it with him huh.

Can I read it? Ill finish it quickly

Quickly?

Simon got surprised.

The Grimoire that was passed to me was a thin one, so I read it like stand reading in a bookstore.

I see, its like this huh

I said that, and returned the Grimoire to Simon.

Here, Ill return this to you

Eh? I-Is it that, you had read it with just now

Un

I nodded.

Simon got surprised, and made a face saying he couldnt believe it.

Action rather than words.

I reached out my hand, and used the magic I just learned right now.

My palm shined, and a ring came out.

Just like the one I gave to Sylvia and Nadia, its a wedding ring made of magic.

T-This is really. In an instant right now. As expected

Simon got moved and at the same time, felt down. It looks like he feels complicated.

Simon-sans childhood friend, wants the wedding ring Simon-san created huh

yes, thats right. But, I couldnt read this Grimoire whatever I do. AhhLaura, forgive this pathetic man

From the middle, the way he called himself changed. Does he speak like that when hes with his childhood friend.

Please excuse me. It is something unrelated to Lucio-sama

Uun. Do your best, Simon-san. If you do your best, you surely can read Grimoires

Yes

Feeling down, Simon returned the Grimoire to his waist.

After going this far, I felt sorry for him.

Ill also think something about it. A way for Simon-san to be able to read Grimoires

Is that true!

Simon looked at me with eyes as if he had seen a savior.

Un, Ill do something about it

While erasing the ring that I had no use for by sucking it into a black hole, I thought if there were ways that I can do something about it.

Inside the small palace, a simple audience room.

That place that you can even call only a mansion, I am facing the King of Guernica.

a pig?

I couldnt help letting out my impression out of my mouth.

The man (probably) in front of me looks like a monstrous pig.

Just like the man that I saw on the internet before whose weight was over hundreds of kilos that he couldnt even stand up by himself, it really looks like him.

Because of his too fatty body, instead of sitting on the throne, he is sitting on the ground.

no, maybe theres a throne, but its only hidden by his fatty body.

Bubu, you are Lucio huh

King Guernica opened his mouth.

un. Im Lucio- Martien. Youre Ou-sama?

Bubu. Right, I am King Guernica Clemente the first bu

I see. Rather than that, Ou-sama, what are you eating since earlier?

Bubu. Even though you are a Duke, youre just a child huh. Alright dabu, I will explain that a clueless one like you can understand. The thing that I am eating is called a cake dabu

I know that.

Thats not the thing I want to ask.

Theres a push cart beside King Guernica, and theres cake stacked like a mountain on top of it.

Literally, a mountain of it.

King Guernica grabs that with his hand and gobbles it.

He had eaten more than ten pieces since I entered the audience hall.

Ou-sama, arent you eating too much

Bubu. I am the King, whats wrong with eating cakes

Uhmm, yes

Bubu, what a rude person. Oi, you, bring that

King Guernica ordered the servant woman beside him. The woman left the audience hall in a hurry, and returned with a bag full with her.

King Guernica took that, and ate whats inside with his hands.

A fine grinded white grainsthat is, dont tell me.

Ou-sama, whats that?

Its sugar dabu!

He shouted at me, and gobbled the sugar using his hands.

no wonder he got fat.

Uhm, and then, Ou-sama, the reason I came here is

I dont want to hear troublesome things dabu

Eh?

I get the story, Ill do something about it dabu. Ill leave it to Simon so ask everything to him dabu

Uhmm

Bubu

King Guernica said that, and left the audience hall while gobbling sugar.

It was a movement just like something like a slime or a flexible animalsurprisingly, his movement speed isnt that different to walking speed of normal people.

I meanyoure alright with that?

Are you sure I can do all that I want.

I stared at the place King Guernica was.

It was littered with sugar and leftover cakes.

It was a terrible scene only the wordsBad mannerscould appear in my mind.

Black Hole

I weakened the power and chanted the magic.

The black hole that was the size of a marble that came out of my finger point, it sucked in the trash just like the highest class of vacuum cleaners.

Ohhhhh

The servant, the guards, and Simon who didnt speak a thing since earlier.

Everyone in here raised that moved voice.

T-This is bad

A man with soldier clothes ran inside.

Monsters! Monsters appeared in the village! Please send reinforcements immediately

The audience hall got into a panic.

It looks like, theres a lot of things I need to cleanup
