The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 164: Confusion at the Imperial Capital Guild

Adventurer Guild: Imperial Capital Branch.

I designated this place as the rendezvous point and traveled here with Orihime first.

Hou! This is the Imperial Capital Branch huh!? They have quite a good sense dont they!

OiSilver brought along a weird kid

Dont get involved. Hes a weirdo wearing a mask you know. Theres no way that theres a decent human being beneath that mask.

But shes cute you know? Should we try calling her?

STOP! What would you do if shes his woman? You want to get incinerated by ancient magic?

Even Silver wouldnt go that far, right.

Just give up the idea. He can use transfer magic. What would you do if he starts harassing you using it?

Ah, make sense. Hes a creepy guy in a mask after all.

WHO WOULD HARASS YOU USING TRANSFER MAGIC!

I want to deny their weird accusation with a yell but that would go against Silvers character.

Giving up, I talk to the receptionist.

Sorry for the commotion.

It is always noisy around here so it is alright, sir. Is she your sister?

No, a client. A lot happened you see.

Wha!? Silver-san accepted a personal request without going through the guild! And we always got ignored too.

The receptionist dejectedly dropped her shoulder and hung her head.

The gazes from the guild staff and adventurers in the guild are getting painful.

S, sorry..I will be more careful next time.

Is that true!? There are actually a lot of quests that we would like Silver-san to take a look at!

Put them together and I will take a look next time. Is that alright?

Yes! We will be waiting! By the way.

Hm?

The receptionist points at the edge of the guild.

Following that with my eyes, I see Orihime holding something white in her hand. When I raise my sight a little, I see that the dragon fang, the guilds decoration was missing its tip.

Noticing my sight, Orihime instantly froze.

But.

TeHe.

AHHHHHHH!!?? The symbol of the Imperial Capital Branch!!! THE DRAGON FAAAANG!!????

Oi Oi! How much do you think thats worth!?

D, dont be so loud..It just broke when I grabbed it. Its not my fault since its so fragile.

She only looked guilty for a moment and immediately switched to a confident attitude. Classic Orihime.

I let out a huge sigh and shifted my eyes to the receptionist.

Where should we send the bill?

The castle.

I have not revealed the Orihime is the Celestial Princess but the receptionist should notice from the fact that I accepted her request.

Without getting surprised, she said that she would send the bill to the castle and started preparing it. How reliable.

Orihime being Orihime, she doesnt learn from her mistake and starts touching this and that inside the guild, angering the adventurers.

Its not anything unusual. I was walking here with Orihime. The reason being, she said that she had no chance to see the capital.

Since it will take some time to select which personnel they will dispatch, I took my time and walked here with Orihime. Naturally, she causes trouble all the way here. It would have become a big problem if she wasnt with me.

I will have to think a lot before I let her roam free huh.

Ah!? Hey! Release me!!

Silver! Take care of this kid will you!

You brat! You just ate my snack! I was saving that cheese for last you know!

Umu, it was delicious.

Damn it!! Silver! You better take responsibility for this alright!!

Orihime who had her arms grabbed by the adventurers is swinging her legs in protest while her mouth spouting more things that would add more oil to the fire.

There are dishes that are only available inside the guild, maybe she saw it and immediately put it in her mouth huh.

Silver! I want to try that bubbly drink!

It is too soon for a child.

Mumu! Its rude to treat me like a child alright!

You are plenty a child yourself though.

The one who outright denied Orihimes words was Elna.

Elna did not participate in the earlier meeting because she was preparing herself to head north but since I joined up in this operation, she came here.

Her appearance surprised everyone in the adventurer guild.

Elna von Amsberg!!??

What is the Hero doing in the Guild!?

This is bad! She finally came to fight Silver for the title of the Empires strongest!

If you are going to do it then do it outside! No, just do it outside the capital! Dont get us involved!

Oi! Silver! Its your fault alright! Its because you claimed the title of the guardian of the imperial capital isnt it!

I dont recall calling myself that though.

As I retorted the panicking adventurers, Elna and Orihime are glaring at each other without caring what is happening around them.

It seems you are feared quite a bit huh? Isnt this because your daily conduct is that bad?

You are being treated like a child yourself though, isnt that because there is nothing adult-like about you at all?

What! I was just being reserved! If I get serious they might notice that I am the Celestial Princess after all!!

Orihime proudly said so.

A moment after that, the face of the adventurers who got excited because of me and Elna turned blue all at once.

The Celestial Princess!!??

Why is the Guardian Deity of Mizuho here!?

Oh? It seems they noticed huh. My brilliance is too much to hide I guess!!

You just said it yourself didnt you!

Orihime and Elnas glare intensified, making the atmosphere feel like they might start fighting each other at any moment.

Seeing that, the adventurers immediately took their distance.

Wh, wha, what the hell..this is too much for one day..

The strongest defense and the strongest Offense of the continent.are they planning to find out who is stronger here..?

Ah..its over. Today is the last day of the Imperial Capital Branch.

It seems that the rowdy adventurers who have been playing around until now cant keep doing it in front of such famous individuals huh.

They did treat Orihime like a brat earlier too.

Enjoying the rare sight of these adventurers, Orihime turns toward me.

Silver! How do I look in your eyes!?

What do you mean?

Of course, I am asking you which one of us is stronger! Someone of your caliber should be able to tell right!

Hmph, you dont have to rely on Silver for that. Even a child would be able to tell which one of us is stronger. Right?

The two stared at me.

Now, how should I answer this?

I sweep my eyes at the adventurers who have taken their distance.

Everyone is shaking their heads. In other words, they are telling me to not escalate this huh.

I got you. I will tell them off now.

I cant tell which one of you is stronger.

What!?

You dont have eyes huh.

The adventurers all sigh in relief

Seeing that, I added.

I cant tell which one of you is stronger but let me say this, I dont think I will lose to either of you.

!!??

The silent scream echoed inside the guild.

The adventurers eyes are asking me whether Im sane or not. then I heard a rattling sound from behind me.

Looking at the source, the receptionist is foaming from her mouth and faint. It seems she couldnt take it since she is so close to where we are.

It seems I did something bad here huh.

Hey.what do we do now

He provoked them even in this situation.that damn idiot

This is why I dont like SS-rank adventurersread the mood damn it.

The adventurers are gathered at the corner of the building, their legs are shaking.

Meanwhile, Orihime is staring at me with a visibly angry face.

What are you saying!? My barrier is the strongest you know!

If it can be broken by a monster then I can do it too.

Heee, then how would you plan to win against me? Have you not already witnessed the power of my holy sword?

It doesnt matter if you cant hit me.

Thus, the three ways glaring is on.

Each of us thinks that we can defeat each other so no one is backing down.

Amid such a heated situation, a large number of horses arrive in front of the guild.

They are finally here huh.

Sorry for being late, Silver.

Said Leo as he got off his horse.

Behind him are Sieg and Lynfia along with the imperial knights.

So they are sending just enough amount of men huh.

The Prince himself will personally come with us too huh?

Of course. If Elna has to fight at the border, a member of the imperial family needs to be there to authorize the use of the holy sword in case she crosses the border and we also need an ambassador that can explain our intention to the other country as well. I am the right person for that.

So you wont be participating in the battle right.

Yes. our duty is to rescue the people who couldnt evacuate in time. I will leave the monster subjugation to you. I dont want to get in your way after all.

..that is fine.

Answering so, I created a transfer gate large enough for the cavalry to rush in.

But before I passed through it, the adventurers inside the guild stopped me.

Hey! Silver! If its something important then we can lend a hand you know!

Monsters are adventurers specialty right!

Those words are reliable.

Since the Spirit Turtle started to move, the monsters in the surrounding area will also be going on a rampage.

That being the case, I do want more manpower.

However, I can not accept their help this time.

I am happy about your offer but I have to turn you down this time. The problem this time has the dignity of the Empire on the line. The Emperor wouldnt be happy if adventurers get involved too much. Let them have the credit this time. Well,.if they are not enough to handle it I will be cleaning up after them though.

You sure said it huh. There wont even be your turn alright.

Very well, let me see what you can do then.

Saying so, Elna went through the transfer gate first, followed by the cavalry led by Leo.

Then

Let us go then! Be relieved! Even if they are the people of the Empire, people are people! I will protect them all! Then I will prove it! The fact that I am more amazing than the Hero!

I will look forward to that.

Saying so, I went through the transfer gate together with Orihime, Our destination: the Northern Region.
