About half an hour later, the strong man stood respectfully in front of me.

"Lord Weigong, according to your orders, the banquet hall has been cleaned."

…………

"Well, thank you guys." With that, I walked back to the door of the banquet hall to accept.

The messy hall had been cleaned up, and the tables and chairs were as bright as if no one had ever used them, except for the knights of the round table who were lying here and there.

"This is your reward, and divide it equally with your men." I took a few gold coins out of my pocket and put them in the hands of the sweaty man.

Through the study of British customs and culture, I know that from the nobility to the royal family, the slaves who serve in it are usually paid very little. To make ends meet, someone has to give them a reward.

That's why these people didn't take the initiative to clean the banquet hall before, because no one promised to pay them enough money.

…………

"Thank you, sir......" The strong man took the gold coin with gratitude.

However, when he looked down, his eyes widened again.

"This ...... ......"

…………

"What's wrong? Questions? Seeing the strong man's reaction, I couldn't help frowning slightly.

When I came to Camelot, Artoria gave me a bag of gold coins to spend on my daily expenses.

However, since we were either staying in the palace or venturing elsewhere these days, I didn't have the opportunity to go to the bazaar and buy items with the gold. So, I just carry some gold coins with me in case I need them.

Now that the first time you use these gold coins, is there a problem?

…………

"No...... No, my lord, these coins are too valuable! The strong man's voice trembled, as if he had been frightened by something, "This is a special gold coin for the royal family, and one is worth as much as five gold coins on the market...... For us slaves, they are too much as a bounty! ”

"I see." I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this explanation, "It's okay, since it's given to you, I'll take it." But remember, they must be fairly distributed among your men. If I know that you dare to steal these gold coins, you know the consequences. ”

"Understood! The villain must do it! The strong man nodded again and again.

…………

Afterwards, the strong man called out all the men who were working in the banquet hall, showed them all the bounty in front of me, and said that he would exchange it for ordinary gold and silver coins of lower value in the market and divide them equally.

Naturally, the servants were grateful to me, and they said thank you again and again.

…………

At this moment, light and rhythmic footsteps could be heard in the distance of the hallway.

"Alright, Artoria is coming. You can leave. As soon as I heard the footsteps, I recognized its owner, and I waved and smiled at the crowd in front of me.

"Yes, then goodbye-sama Emiya. May the gods bless you and the king! The strong man was also very knowledgeable, so he beckoned his subordinates to leave.

…………

"That...... Chief, is it really the king who came? At this moment, a thin little boy among the slaves, who looked to be only a teenager, raised his hand timidly and asked.

"Nonsense! Didn't you hear what Emiya-sama said? The strong man rebuked, "Hurry up, the noble king is not something that a low-ranking servant like us can see!" ”

"But the chief...... I want to see the king last time. The little boy lowered his head, but his tone was resolute, "Even if it is only once in my life, I want to use my own eyes to imprint the majesty of the king in my mind." ”

…………

"You bastard! Looking for a fight, isn't it? The strong man suddenly became angry, and he stepped forward and waved his fist to beat the boy.

"Stop!" I snapped at the strong man's behavior, "That's how you usually treat your men?" ”

"I'm sorry Lord Weigong, it's the villain's usual lax discipline that causes his subordinates to say such unreasonable words." Facing me, the strong man hurriedly bent down and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will not let him stay here and ruin the good mood of you and the king." ”

"No, since he wants to see Artoria, he will fulfill his wish." I waved my hand directly, "Or do you want to prevent Camelot's master, the king of Britain, from seeing the people to whom he belongs?" ”

…………

"This ...... The villain would never dare! Cold sweat slid down the strong man's cheeks, and he knelt down in horror, "The villain understands that he can stay." ”

"It's not just him, all of you should stay." After all, I shook my head, "After all, it is your credit for cleaning the banquet hall, and you deserve to receive a real reward." ”

"Yes, Eimiya-sama." The strong man nodded without choice, his eyes full of unease.

…………

Unlike the strong man, his men heard that they could stay, and the excitement and excitement were palpable.

For these servants, it was unthinkable that they would be able to receive the king's reward in person.

…………

As he spoke, the sound of footsteps in the hallway became more and more audible.

Soon, a figure in a blue dress appeared in the corner not far in front of him, and the blonde hair that was brighter than the sun was particularly eye-catching.

It seems that all the surrounding scenery has been dyed with holy golden light due to the appearance of the figure.

…………

The blue eyes as clear as a lake saw the existence of the foremost me.

A gentle chuckle appeared on her beautiful face, and she took on the form of a girl and walked directly towards me.

"I'm sorry Shirou, but I'm delayed for some time because I asked Sister Skaha about the problem." Speaking in a voice as crisp as a clear spring, the girl stepped forward and put her arms around me and said with a smile, "...... It took a lot of effort to clean the banquet hall, so I'm here to help. ”

…………

"There's no need, the banquet hall has been completely cleaned up." I took the girl by the hand and led her to look inside the hall from the outside.

"Huh?" Seeing the new appearance of the banquet hall, the girl opened her mouth in surprise, "This...... It's all Shirou, you clean it up alone? ”

"Why, it's thanks to everyone's efforts." As I spoke, I stepped aside and stretched out my palms behind me with a respectful expression, and the slaves who knelt in a row on the ground laughed.

…………

The girl who had only been in my eyes since just now finally noticed the presence of other people.

"It's ...... Camelot's full-time cleaners. Looking at the cleaning tools in the hands of the slaves, the girl showed a look of sudden realization, "...... Usually the subordinates and knights are in charge of cleaning the various rooms, and I actually forgot that they existed. ”

"Exactly. If it weren't for their help, I am afraid that I would not have been able to do this level alone. "I frankly admit it.

…………

"Hmph, I said why Shirou agreed to the task of cleaning the banquet hall so voluntarily, it turned out that he was ready to be lazy early in the morning." The girl clenched her arms around her chest as she did, and let out a lovely snort from her snow-white nose.
