The King's Exclusive Battle Pencils
「Al, do you want to do it once more?」
We continued our game after that, I had 2 wins and 3 losses, but Sylvio-niisan’s desire to play has not decreased at all. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Maybe he’s happy he can play with the toy he made himself, Sylvio-niisan looked unusually excited.
「Wait a moment. I’m going to talk to Tori first」
「Ah, sorry. Okay then」
Sylvio-niisan started rolling the battle pencils alone as he came to his senses, I guess he remembered about Tori.
To come up with the idea of playing by himself so suddenly and do it, that's quite high-level play.
Though I also often did that while in class.
Now then, if you’ve seen us playing the game 5 times you would probably mostly understand the way to play and the feel of the game.
I immediately try to ask Tori about his impression of the battle pencils. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「What do you think if it’s toys like this?」
「’s fine! It’s an interesting experience despite a simple game of following what was written on the surface of the rolled pencils. The unpredictability and the gambling-like nature make it exciting. This’ll definitely work. All that’s left is to make something special for the King-sama.....」
「If that’s so then it’s fine to just make an original battle pencil for the King-sama」
「……original?」
「I will make a pencil with the King-sama as the motif just like this slime and alkinoko」
I will create a battle pencil that illustrates the King-sama, incorporating his characteristics, personality, and status as a motif.
Since it will be done like that and will be given to the King-sama, we definitely won’t be blamed if it is mass-produced.
「――*gasp*! I think he will absolutely like it! We can do it like this!」
Tori’s sense of smell as a merchant is astonishing. If he says so then there won’t be any problem.
「Understood. Then, can you ask the King-sama himself if I can make it?」
We’re going to make something with the king as the motif. I don’t want people to object to it if we made it without the person’s consent.
Although, he doesn’t seem to be the sort of person who would punish us when I heard about him from the conversation with Tori.
「Leave it to me! Well then, please forgive me but I have some preparation to do so I will ask the King-sama first!」
「Hoーi」
Reporting to the King-sama, spreading battle pencils.....I guess there are various things going on in Tori’s head right now.
Tor left the lounge after cheerfully saying his farewell to me and Sylvio-niisan.
「Say, Sylvio-niisan」
「What is it?」
「I wonder if we have King-sama’s picture?」
「No, we don’t......」
Sylvio-niisan seemed confused by my sudden question. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If feel like there’s a question like, why are you asking that now?
Sylvio-niisan wasn’t included in my conversation with Tori earlier so it was natural he couldn’t understand.
「Actually I’m thinking of making a battle pencil with the King-sama as the motif, so I wonder if there is his portrait somewhereー」
「King-sama! Al, no matter how you put it that’s disrespectful 」
After being startled for a moment, Sylvio-niisan grabbed both of my shoulders and said that to me with a terribly serious expression on his face.
Un, that’s the normal reaction.
「It’s fine. This is the request of King-sama and Tori was just going to get his permission」
「Wait a minute. I can’t follow you. When did such a request come from the King-sama?」
「Just now」
「So that’s why you were having a serious conversation with Toriela-san」
When I told him that, Sylvio-niisan pressed his fingers around his temple looking like he had a headache.
I feel like his gestures have become somewhat similar to Nord-tousan.
「I don’t know much about the toy, but have you discussed it with tousan and kaasan?」
「Ah!」
Hearing Sylvio-niisan’s words, I quickly chased after Tori.
◆
Capturing Tori, I called Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan to the lounge and explained the situation.
To be precise, it wasn’t me but Tori who did the explanation. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I mean, the matter this time was brought by Tori. It was natural for the contractor himself to explain it.
It’s definitely not because I was scared to tell them alone or for such pathetic reasons. It’s because of that logic behind it.
「And so, I am thinking of presenting the battle pencils created by Alfried-sama to the King-sama」
「「…………」」
Even though they had heard Tori’s explanation for quite some time, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan were silent.
At least, I wish they reacted in some way by getting angry or shocked. Making no reactions like this is really scary you know.
It feels like an unfeeling stressful interview.
「Sa, say something」
Unable to endure the oppressive air, I involuntarily let out a trembling voice.
「Haa……since it is the King-sama’s wish then we can not refuse it」
Ri, right. King-sama already asked for it. There’s nothing we can do about it.
「Don’t get carried away」
「……yes」
Perhaps she sensed my attempt to shrug it off, Elna-kaasan pointed that out while smiling brightly.
It’s frightening how beautiful she looks even though her eyes are not smiling at all.
In such an awkward air, Nord-tousan was pondering about something and finally asked.
「You do not want to meet the King-sama, right?」
「Un. Since the events that will happen as a result of that will be troublesome」
So I said while looking straight at Nord-tousan’s eyes. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……very well. King-sama respected our side’s opinion even though it was discourteous. So you have to live up to the King-sama’s expectation, alright?」
As expected from Nord-tousan. He fully respected my wish.
I’m glad he just asked me to make the toys and not to meet the King-sama.
「I know. I’ll try to make him happy」
「Do you best, Toy King」
「Stop calling me by that name」
With Elna-kaasan making fun of me and me retorting, the oppressive atmosphere inside the lounge completely dispersed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
