When it comes to Buckingham Palace, it is generally considered to be a world of glittering pure gold. But this is not the case. The room-like corridor is covered with gorgeous velvet carpets that make people dare not put their feet, and the paintings and carvings hanging around it, as well as the maid holding a black tea and tea set, are staggering.

"Haha, it's already fixed, here."

Walking in the spacious corridors of Buckingham Palace, Aikawa said to the man in the suit, the head of the British "knightly faction".

"—the last time I was here, there wasn't even a shadow left."

“…………”

In response to Aikawa's explicit sarcasm, the knight commander clenched his fists tightly and remained silent. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, his body would ignore all occasions and start fighting with Aikawa. This is something to avoid in any case.

"Speaking of which, why did you call Kamijo here?"

Seeing that the knight commander did not react, Aikawa pursed his lips in boredom, and then turned his head to God Crack and said.

“…… Didn't the earth royal gate who worked as a consultant in the school city tell you? ”

"I only came to London to fulfill the commission. And the words of the Tsuchigomon, because my sister's newly made maid lunch is lying in the hospital. ”

"That bastard......"

Shen Crack gritted his teeth and said, but from the point of view of Uejo coming here, Tu Yumen must have endured the overturning of the river and the sea in his stomach and used gas to charm Uejo and throw it into a supersonic airliner.

The silent knight captain next to him spoke.

"Now it's time to go to the combat meeting. Members of the royal family, the knights, and the Puritans all gathered. This is because the leaders of the royal faction, that is, those who have inherited the royal blood, participate in the meeting, which is called "hearings" to the outside world. ”

As he spoke, the Knight Commander looked at Kamijo and Aikawa's clothes.

“…… Therefore, you should attend in formal attire, but there is no way to do it now. Even though it's a T-shirt and jeans and a stupid outrageous red, no one should be angry about it. ”

"Huh. Ha. Ha. Sullen man, you have itchy skin, right? Last time, I saw you let you go.,There's a vase here.,Do you want to smash it on your head to make your worth a little higher!? ”

"Hey, stop it, if you mess around here, you're going to get your wanted warrant!"

Kamijo hurriedly snatched the vase (which looked super expensive) from Aikawa's hand that was about to be thrown out, and then carefully put it back in its place. Then he probably realized that he had made a mistake in common sense, and he was a little anxious. looked at the cracked navel and bare legs beside him.

"It's okay if the gods are cracked, ......?"

"What a faux pare evaluation. I'm a necessary component of the technique. ”

God Crack said angrily, shrinking as if he was about to escape from Uejo's sight. Then Intix asked,

"Combat meeting, what kind of combat meeting is it?"

"It is the Queen's judgment to formally convene the list of banned books, and from this point of view it should be a very important case."

The Knight Master stopped at a door.

It is a majestic double door that complements the huge palace.

"You know it on the TV news, too. Now the European Tunnel connecting Britain and France is unknown to who blasted it. And it's all three tunnels. With the destruction of the tunnels, the transportation of people and supplies was completely stopped, which hit Britain hard. ”

“？？？”

"It's possible that the explosion of the tunnel was done by magic, and in this way, it was attacked on a national scale."

The Knight Master said as he gripped the doorknob.

This is the stage for the "meeting" -- the war conference room where the Queen of England is waiting. Thinking of this, Kamijo naturally straightened up nervously. As the protector of the list of banned books, Shangjo didn't want to have any opportunity to speak, but what was about to start now was a meeting at the level of deciding the national policy.

Kamijo couldn't help but grunt in his throat.

The Knight Master turned the doorknob, and before the door opened, the sound of speech came through the crack in the door.

"Uh......h It's really troublesome to wear a dress or something, can't you wear jeans......"

The movement of the Knight Commander suddenly stopped.

“…… Aha. ”

Aikawa has a hypertypical mischievous smile that is characteristic of bear children.

"Ahh Hurry up and let us meet your beloved woman, king, and man. I'm honored that I've turned on the camera function on my phone, and as soon as you open the door, I'll press the shutter and send the Queen's great figure to the whole world☆"

Cold sweat poured down the head of the knight leader.

“…… Please wait a moment. ”

Then he let go of the doorknob and squeezed in through the crack in the door.

"Whoa!? Don't you knock when you come in!! ”

"I have something to say before I apologize -- is there a fool who still wears jeans on such occasions!!"

"YES, THE CHIEF KNIGHT IS THE FIRST TO ARRIVE—"

"The order of entry is good! I beg you, for the sake of the future influence of the British Empire, please act like a queen!! No one wants to see your unexpected side, so don't suddenly come out with an electric guitar!! ”

There was a clanging sound from inside, and Kamijo looked at the door inexplicably. God Crack didn't translate for him for some reason, and Intex was drowsy because she was full.

A short time later, the Knight Master peeked through the crack in the door.

“…… I'm sorry, it's already okay. Queen Elishard is sober. ”

“？”

"Cut"

Kamijo, who couldn't figure out the situation, and Aikawa, who smacked his tongue in disappointment, walked through the door.

The room has a high platform with stairs that is common in RPGs. There's no throne or anything like that, though. It looks like a large room like a banquet hall. Several rows of circular tables surround the table, like the rings of a tree. It is like the venue of the United Nations that I occasionally see on TV.

In the middle of the table.

"She" is the Queen of England. Around the age of fifty, the skin and hair begin to look old, but the fundamental parts, such as spirit and bones, seem to be above those of teenagers.

She was wearing a long gown that covered her feet, and if this black and white dress was soiled, the cleaning fee alone would ruin the average person's family.

Even more notable is Queen Elisard's right hand.

A sword. The appearance is a typical Western double-edged sword, with a handle of about 80 centimeters long. It's just that there is no blade, and the tip of the sword is flat. It has an elongated, square-shaped handle.

The queen and the sword ...... who are the template of the English lady And it is not put away in a sheath and hung on the waist, but in a unsheathed state in the hand.

Kamijo looked at the sword and blurted out the thoughts that came to his mind,

"It's unexpectedly personal...... The personality that we didn't get so desperately from Himejin is so simple to ......"

"No, that's normal!! Removed electric guitars, footballs, fitness balls and surfboards!! It's not a familiar image, but the sword is a symbol of Queen Elisard!! ”

The Knight Commander shook his head as if he remembered some nightmare.

On the other hand, the queen opened her mouth to laugh.

"It's called Catina, and it's a royal sword."

"Roar~ That's Catina?"

Aikawa nodded knowingly, and Kamijo asked curiously.

“（…… Is that sword powerful))"

"To put it simply, a sword that has been upgraded from 'the sword that decides the king of England' to the 'deciding archangel' for various reasons, which allows this mother-in-law to use the power of the archangel or even the archangel - that is, the 'god-like' in the United Kingdom."

"Ha ......"

"A year ago, I was chopped off without even seeing that sword."

Kamijo was immediately impressed by the sword.

It seems that you should be careful not to touch it with your right hand, and Uejo's vigilance has reached MAX. The sword that decides the king of England is a national treasure no matter how you think about it, and if it is broken, it will be a big one.

The Queen, however, smiled unappretently.

"Even if this thing is damaged or destroyed for some reason, no one is to blame. Originally, this one was historically known as "Catina II". ”

"Ah, I don't understand your name at all......"

"That's the second one. The first appearance of "Kartina I" in history has been lost. In order to ensure that the ceremony was carried out, this "Catina II" was hastily made. Even if this one breaks, just make a new one. Don't be so nervous. ”

Is it...... When Kamijo was puzzled, someone behind him said.

"I can't stand it, that's not going to work." Katina II is indeed the second one made by the "royal faction", but now the method of making it has been lost. If you break it casually, where can you make a third or fourth? ”

The sound source is at the door of the entrance.

Entering the room were beautiful women in their early thirties dressed in extravagant dresses that were not inferior to the queen's. The dress is cyan and the skirt is not long, as if it is attached to the curve of the leg. The left eye wears a monocle, giving a strong intellectual and cold impression. The black hair draped over her shoulders seemed to have been dyed, and it had an unnatural flamboyance.

Extravagant but not magnificent. A woman who gives an incredible impression.

“（…… This is the first princess, Lime El)"

God Crack whispered.

The head of the knight was surprised to see that the first princess did not bring a flank and a maid.

"If you tell me, I'll send my subordinates...... No, I'll go and greet you personally. ”

"Oh, no, no. If someone follows me, there is a risk of being stabbed in the back, and I don't trust anyone I know. ”

“……”

As if under attack, the Knight Commander sighed heavily.

It seems that Princess Limeel does not believe in people.

"Is Sister Wang playing the same old tune again?"

This time it was a woman in a red gown,...... Although it is a dress, it is almost leather, and it is tightly wrapped around the body. The woman appears to be in her late twenties, and she is followed by two knights to her right and left.

This is a contrastively beautiful woman.

Her skirt is not long...... But I don't know if it was a steel wire or something, like an umbrella stretched out unnaturally, and when I entered the door, there was a "bang" collision sound.

"Really, Sister Wang is still so gloomy. If you can't believe anything in the world, you can just die. ”

Sister Wang? The woman in the red dress looked at the puzzled upper strip-

"The second princess, Kia Lisa. Learn some history, boy. ”

Were you born recorded in the historical chronology....... Kialisa doesn't seem to have any interest in Kamijo.

"Veryanne. Why are you here. ”

The sudden question made the woman in the green dress standing in the corner of the room at some point shake her shoulders, her long blond hair and snow-white skin, coupled with the fluffy skirt on her body, just like the typical princess image in the book. She doesn't seem to like to be noticed. Shrink your body, hold your skirt with both hands, and look at the woman who is talking to you at a distance.

"My sister, the third princess, Villian, is a boring fellow, isn't she?"

Kia Lisa casually said something that was difficult to respond to. Veryanne must have heard this, and the figure of the third princess looked even smaller.

The queen said when she saw all three princesses enter the room.

"It's almost there."

This is a hint that the battle meeting in the name of "meeting" has begun. From now on, there will be a lot of soldiers and magicians and other figures coming in, and I counted the number of chairs on the scene, and it seems that it will be a meeting of more than 100 people.

(I don't seem to be in line with this.)

As Kamijo smiled bitterly in her heart, the queen continued.

"Then, if the meeting is too big, you have to record all the speeches, and you can't express your opinions casually. Now the situation is changing every second, and hundreds of people together will waste a lot of time on nonsense. Let's get started. ”

"Huh?"

Looking at the stunned crowd, the queen said with a smile.

"After all, if you waste so much time, you don't know why you ran away."
