Tribute From The Toy King 2
……darn it. I wanted to play it quickly, I shouldn’t have let the chairman of Toriela’s company return. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
As I was at a loss while holding the cylindrical items in my hands, Balmung took out what appeared to be a piece of paper from the box and unfolded it.
The fact that the paper is also included in the box is probably because it contains instructions on how to play this game.
Since he’s the person responsible for the accounting, he should be skilled at grasping the key points and explaining them since he reviews numerous documents daily.
So I don’t call out to him and let him figure it out.
After a little while, he immediately folded the paper and put it in the box.
「What is written there?」
「It looks like this is a game called Battle Pencils where you roll them」
「Playing by rolling them? Like this?」
「It seems like it is rolled normally like a pencil, unlike being spun like a spinning top」
I thought it would be like the spinning top where you spin it and make it hit each other, but it looks like that is not the case with this game. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Just as Balmung told me, I rolled it on the table just like I would normally roll a pen.
Then, this Battle Pencil rolled while making a light rattling sound kararara.
Could this be a toy where you roll it around and enjoy the sound it produces? It is certainly a fine sound but this is a somewhat unsatisfying toy.
This is too ordinary for it to be the work of the Toy King.
「You take action according to the letters written on the letter on the topmost side and you seem to attack each other. Each player is set to have 100 health points and you will lose if that reaches 0. And it seems like you win if you reduce your opponent’s health to 0」
「Oooh, so that means this ‘10 damage to all-attributes' written here is my attack action?」
「In showing the types represented by ● attributes, an attack from ★ attributes will not be effective against ● attributes and an attack from ● attributes will not be effective against ★ attributes. Also, it seems like there is a possibility for your attack to miss and fail as your attack will not succeed each time」
「So it depends on the side that appears on the topside whether you can succeed with your attack or not. I really don’t like this kind of gambling-like rule」
「There are also other actions where you can restore your health points. It is a game where you can not play unless you can count」
What a profound toy. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I’m so embarrassed that I thought this was just a game where you roll and enjoy the sound it makes. As to be expected from the Toy King.
「Quickly, let’s play it at once!」
「There is a pencil with the motif of Your Majesty here, you know?」
「Oooh! I will use that!」
I got so excited about the rules of Battle Pencil that I completely forgot about it.
That’s right, the Toy King made one with my motif.
If the Toy King made it for me then of course I will use that piece.
「Fuuooohhh. This is my......my only Battle Pencil」
When I took the Battle Pencil Balmung presented to me, instead of monsters like slime or goblin illustrations, there was an illustration with my motif on it.
It is incredibly delightful that my own illustration is drawn on the toy made by the Toy King.
「Ahー, it is completely beautified」
「I have heard that the Toy King is an eccentric craftsman but it seems like he’s surprisingly adept at worldly affairs..... 」
「Quiet! Don’t be so nitpicky!」
Isn’t it fine to beautify it a little? Certainly, the illustration drawn was beautified just like the bronze statue set up in the royal capital. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
But, I was just like that around ten years ago so it’s not entirely false.
Although recently my hair has thinned out a bit and my stomach is starting to show....I just want to be happy with the toy, at least for a while.
I’m sure Balmung and Rembrandt were probably just envious of the toy with my motif
I found relief in thinking like that in my mind.
「Then I will use this slime」
「I will use goblin
「Then, I am going with the Alkinoko」
As I was staring at my own Battle Pencil while grinning, it looked like Balmung, Rembrandt, and Wilm had also decided which battle pencil to use.
「What is the order of play?」
「Of course it is from me」
「Then it is from His Majesty. After that let us go clockwise from me, Rembrandt, and Wilm」
After the order was decided, I immediately rolled my Battle Pencil.
「.... 『Miss』?」
「His Majesty attack fail. It is my turn next」
「Don’t you think this is too much to suddenly ‘Miss’ !?」
「That is the rule. Please follow the instructions on the surface of the Battle Pencil」
「If you have a complaint then you can say it to the Toy King」
「Gunununununu」
To think that my memorable swing of my hand will end up with such a stupid result.
It is so frustrating, but even this is could be said to be a fun part of this game.
However, it feels frustrating to end up with nothing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Despite having a vague feeling in my chest, I look at the Slime Battle Pencil that Balmung rolled.
「It’s 『Body Blow 20 damage to ● attributes』」
「Mine is a Hoblin with an ▲ attribute so it is not affected」
「My Alkinoko is ★ attribute so it is also not affected」
「But Your Majesty’s attribute is ●.....」
「Do you have a grudge against me so you made such a pinpoint attack?」
「Please look back on Your Majesty’s everyday behavior」
Even though there were three of us here, the attack seemed to be aimed at me alone.
I know this is just my luck but this is really incomprehensible.
「With this then my health point decreases by 20 to 80, huh...」
「 Remember it properly, please? I will not allow any trick to lie in front of someone in charge of the accounting, okay?」
Gununu, it is difficult to do that with Balmung - who is strong in numbers - here. My authority does not work in a game and I can not arrange for favors either.
「It is my turn next. It is 『Calling friend Roll twice next turn』」
「What does that mean?」
「Since I have called goblin friend then I will be able to attack twice, something like that?」
「Ahー, goblins have strong reproductive abilities after all. So it is an action that makes the most out of monsters' traits」
「Do you not think it is unfair to have two turns?」
「But in exchange for that the attack toward other attributes is low at only 10 health points and I feel like it will be tough to continue if it does not take the current action」
「I guess you were lucky to be able to suddenly call for a friend!」
There are people who suddenly Miss in their attacks and people who make the best move.
Is it possible to have such a result in this kind of game?
「Next is me then. Umm it looks like it’s 『Sleeping Spores 20 damage to all attribute types』」
「Your Majesty only have 60 health points left, I see」
「I know already, stop counting it!」
That Balmung. What a nasty guy for saying it out loud on purpose. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
That’s why each maid is saying that he is being nitpicky or sounding sarcastic all the time.
「Next is me! 『King’s Tax 10 damage to all attribute types and restore health points』 Oohhh! What a move worthy of a king!」
「Oi oi, dealing 10 damages to the three of us and restoring health points by 30 points, isn’t that too much?」
「I am the King after all. It is only natural to exploit the common people」
「That remark just now, you will get stabbed if you say it in front of the citizens, you know?」
「……do not say such a scary thing. I was just getting carried away a little bit」
「Your Majesty’s attack certainly seems strong, but it also appears to come with quite a bit of risk, does it not?」
「What?」
「When you produce the side that causes a revolution, Your Majesty will step down from the throne and become weaker」
When I tried to look at it after Wilm pointed that out, I saw that my Battle Pencil was split into top and bottom parts.
【King Zigil ● attribute】
Miss
Tax collection 10 damage to all attributes and recover health points
20 damage to every attribute
Tax collection 10 damage to all attribute types and recover health points
A revolution occurred. Abdicate as the king
20 damage to all attribute types
It acted as the King up to this point but it will become very weak when a revolution occurs.
Picked up a medicinal herb Recovers 20 health points
Miss
Returned to the throne Rise in position
10 damage to all attribute types
Returned to the throne Rise in position
Miss
There is only one action of attack. It seems like unless I return to the throne, I will not be able to go back to the top part for the rest of the game. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
……ooh, Toy King. Why did you include something so true-to-life?
「Personally, I absolutely want a revolution to happen」
「I second that」
「Me too」
「Stop it, all of you! Do not say something unlucky!」
Even though they are all my retainer, to wish for a revolution against their king, truly traitorous. If it were in real life, they would have been arrested for treason.
However, my health points have recovered to 90 points from the move just now. I can still fight
◆
Rembrandt’s goblin had been wreaking havoc with its two consecutive attacks, but it became unable to act midway due to the sleeping spores from the Alkinoko, and ultimately succumbing to attacks from me and Balming. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Now the only ones remaining are me, Balmung, and Wilm.
My health points are 60, Balmung is 30, and Wilm is 20.
「Your Majesty’s turn is next」
「Umm」
If you got hit by the Alkinoko’s sleeping spore, you may go down without being able to do anything like Rembrandt.
This is a situation where I want to beat Wilm - who has few remaining health points - by any means necessary. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「『20 damage to all attribute types』 Wilm lose with this!」
「How unfortunate. I thought I would be able to go on a little further……」
It seems that my prayer was answered and I got the exact action I wanted.
「The only one left here is you, Balmung」
「So it is a duel between me and Your Majesty」
Balnung’s Slime has 10 health points. Compared to that, mine is 60 health points.
I can withstand 30 damage from his strongest attack so I have room to spare.
Balmun rolls his Battle Pencil while sweat drips down his forehead.
If Balmung uses his strongest attack twice in a row, then I will lose here.
If possible I wish his strongest attack doesn’t come out.
As we were watching it roll while holding our breath, the action that appeared for Balmun was….
「……『Miss』 !?」
「Fuwahahaha! To have ‘Miss’ here, Balmung aren’t you unlucky! You have 10 health points left. I will bury you with my next move!」
While laughing loudly in front of the resentful Balmung, I rolled my Battle Pencil.
「Naa! A revolution at a time like this!」
This is unbelievable. I should have put an end to Balmung, but a revolution happened. My chance has turned into a crisis.
「Hahaha! Your Majesty has started a revolution!」
「That was unfortunate」
The spectators who have been defeated are very noisy
「It appears that luck has come my way」
Balmung’s expression - who had been filled with despair previously - changes into a confident one.
Even though he was making an idiotic expression when ‘Miss’ came out before.
「But, my health points are still 60. I will soon return to the throne so you shall see――!」
「Here, 『30 damage to all attribute types』」
「Whaattt!?」
It was the biggest attack so far. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
This guy, even though it was just a slime, it has a higher attack damage than me.
Toy King, don't you think the balance is a bit strange? It's a slime you know?
「Your Majesty's health points is now 30」
「I know already!」
It's no problem. He only has 10 health points left. Even if I can not return to the throne, it all will be fine if 『10 damage to all attribute types』 comes out.
「『Miss』 !?」
「Yosh!」
I was feeling relieved, but the God of Battle Pencil was not smiling at me.
In contrast with my despairing feeling, Balmung who is usually calm - raises an unusually excited voice.
So you can make that kind of voice.
「The next move will be the finishing blow. 『Body blow 20 damage to ★ attribute types』」
「Yes, it’s a pity. My attribute is ● so it is ineffective」
「Why didn’t I get 『30 damage to all attributes types』!?」
There is no way I can just casually take the strongest attack successively.
There is no need for me to return to the throne anymore. It is enough as long as I can deal enough damage to defeat Balmung with his 10 health points.
While praying to the Creator God.... no, to the Toy King, I wait for the only action to damage others on the lower part of my Battle Pencil to come out.
Then, the Toy King smiled at me.
「『10 damage to all attribute types』 there」
「Dannggg ittt!」
Balmung’s Slime was defeated due to the pinpointed attack.
「How is it! It is my win!」
At first, I thought I could win easily, but the situation could easily change due to the actions of the opponent or me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s a game that provides a kind of excitement similar to gambling.
「Your Majesty, let us play again!」
「Umm, that is fine」
「Hey, there are still all sorts of Battle Pencils inside the box here!」
「Dragon! It even includes Dragon!」
There is a way of playing one-on-one, and there are also ways of playing when you are with four people.
This seems simple but interesting. This toy can bring even adults to their childlike innocence and make them excited, is truly the work of the Toy King. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Whoa~, What a peaceful country☺
