"Puff-puff-puff!" In the huge and wide hall, there was no one except Haruka. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The silence is chilling, and even the sound of your own heartbeat can be heard clearly.

I don't know how long it took, but the huge hall door in front of me slowly opened. Inside the door, a white marble avenue stretches inward for hundreds of meters, and at the end of the road, there are steps nearly a few tens of meters high. And the supreme ruler of the Elbanian Empire, Bloom the Great, sat on the throne, looking down at Haruka who slowly walked in.

"Are you the adventurer who defeated the demons in Wells?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Did you make a fuss about the battleship Night Stalker and repair all of Grantor's men?"

"Uh... Pretty much. ”

"Is it also your work to severely wound Zorn?"

"This... There may be some misunderstanding ... ”

"Raise your head and let Yu see what you look like. ”

Seeing Bloom ask like this, Yao slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor on the throne.

"Hahahahahaha, it's interesting, a girl who looks so weak has such a ability. The originally majestic emperor burst out laughing.

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty summoned me this time, and I just wanted to tell you about the demons that happened to Wells. ”

"Oh? ”

"You should know about the Wall of Gu Leng Dan, which was created by the ancient gods to protect the human world from being invaded by the demons, even if the demons pass through it and reach the human world, their strength will be greatly weakened. ”

"I know all of this. ”

"But the demons encountered this time are different, they seem to have found a special way to come to the human world without limiting their abilities. ”

"Do you mean that you single-handedly defeated the unsealed demons?"

"It's not. I'm not boasting about how strong I am, but ... ”

"Enough, I'm already very clear about your strength, let's not talk about the demon clan for the time being, let's talk about yourself first. "The Emperor is obviously more interested in Haruka itself.

"I... I don't really have much to say myself... ”

"I heard that when you fight, you will wear a pitch-black armor, just like the legendary Black Sword Hime, right?"

"How could it be, how could I compare it with the legendary sword lady, this is just an exaggeration of the facts. ”

"Well, even if those are rumors, then Yu asks you! Are you interested in becoming my subordinate? If it is you, it is not too much to grant you the position of general. ”

"Your Majesty, you think too highly of me... I'm just an ordinary adventurer, and I can't afford to be a general or something. ”

"Are you rejecting me?"

"No, no, no... That was not what I meant... It's just that... In the face of Bloom's questioning, Haruka couldn't help but panic.

"Since you don't want to serve the Empire, tell me what you plan to do in the future. The Emperor sat up straight and leaned forward slightly.

"This... It should be to send a friend home first.,And then.。。 Let's go through the whole continent again. ”

"Send a friend? If you let the Imperial airship send it, it can be delivered anywhere on the continent very quickly. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to make my promise to her on my own. ”

"Well, since I can't keep you, there's no way to do it. The Emperor clapped his hands suddenly, and saw two maids emerge from either side of the meeting, one holding a black, gilded sword, the other holding a brown scroll.

"Adventurers are at their disposal. The Emperor suddenly said loudly in a serious voice.

"Yes. ”

"Yu is now granting you the title of Black Sword Queen, from today onwards, you are one of the Honorary Knights of the Empire, this sword and this scroll are a status symbol, and soon the whole country will know your title, and you will enjoy the same level as the nobles of the Empire. ”

"This... ”

"Of course, don't worry that these titles will bind you, you can still enter and exit the country freely, but if you change your mind one day, you can come to the imperial capital at any time. ”

"Thank you so much... Haruka took the sword and scroll from the maid's hand.

"Then you can step down, I will arrange for someone to let you rest in the imperial capital for a while, if you are not in a hurry to leave. ”

"Okay. Haruka respectfully saluted His Majesty on the throne.

After Haruka walked out of the meeting, the eldest prince Jeton walked out from behind the throne.

"Father, did you let her go so easily?"

"Yu has seen countless strong people in this generation, no matter who they are, they can't escape my king's eye, but this girl is different, she can't see her essence at all, as if she is a chaotic existence. ”

"How is it possible, even my father can't see through her details?"

"Maybe she's a monster. Bloom looked up at the huge dome at the top of the main hall, on each side of which were painted two maidens, one black and one white, as if they were two incompatible forces opposing each other......
