Chapter 464: The Four Who Were Summoned

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

The Mainz Kingdom’s heroes understood even without saying anything, he thinks inwardly. However Hütter does not know. The Mainz Kingdom’s heroes were brainwashed and immersed in light novels, so everything was already known knowledge, but the Hagen Empire’s heroes came without preliminary knowledge. And most of the Empire’s people also do not understand what Hütter is saying. For the Empire’s people everything is the first time.

"On that board, is something written besides your own name? For example hero or saintess?"

When Hütter says Zhu Biao,

"It is written! ’Hero’ is written!"

At Zhu Biao’s voice, the Empire’s people all at once raised "Ooooo!!" voices. It was confirmed that the long-awaited summoning of the hero was accomplished.

"I have become ’Magic Swordsman’!"

Li Jing says toward Zhu Biao but the reaction of the Empire side people is larger. Magic Swordsman is! or, can use magic and also use swords! they began talking variously.

Zhu Biao

"Honghua, what is written?"

when asking Honghua,

"On my board ’Saintess’ is written."

she looks up at Zhu Biao, and said in a thin voice. The Empire’s people who heard that raised cheers. "It’s the saintess!" "Finally the saintess has come" they are saying. Only Hütter is thinking why the saintess was not summoned in the Mainz Kingdom, and was summoned in the Hagen Empire.

"What about Meiyi?"

Zhu Biao asks Li Jing’s wife. Meiyi,

"I have become ’Tamer’? What is a Tamer?"

she asks back wonderingly. The Empire’s people are also bewildered at the word Tamer heard for the first time. However Hütter,

"Tamer means an ability user who uses magical beasts or animals, and handles them as one wishes. According to books, of course wolves and tigers, elephants, and also wyverns, fenrir, beast bears could be used, it was written. This can be said to be a very powerful ability user!"

The Empire’s people who heard that are uniformly surprised and happy. With this they can overwhelm the Mainz Kingdom. There are even ones who dream that not only the Mainz Kingdom but the various countries of the continent can be made to submit, and a unified nation can be made.

The place of the ceremony is wrapped in unusual excitement centered on the summoned four. However Zhu Biao and the four are showing bewildered faces.

The one calm Hütter

"The heroes, I think you are tired. First rest in the room, and take a meal would be good? Change clothes, and bathe as well I think is good, how is it?"

when saying Seymour also,

"Yes, it seems to have been a great thing for the heroes. For the time being shall we have you rest?"

when saying looking at the emperor the emperor nodded, so it was decided to guide the heroes to the rooms prepared in advance.

—-

The four heroes summoned to the Empire were guided by maids and taken to rooms. Because four rooms were prepared, Zhu Biao toward one of the maids who guided,

"We are a couple so two rooms are fine. Moreover we want to talk a little with the four, so could you leave your seats, and leave only us?"

he requests. The maid makes a troubled face,

"For the time being, please enter this room. Regarding the rooms I will go ask Seymour-sama. We were told to be attached to everyone."

she says. For Zhu Biao he knew that emperors and princes had attendants and maids attached around the clock. However because he himself was an illegitimate child, Xie Honghua was the attached maid, and other than Li Jing being raised as a milk brother there were no attendants around, and he was raised freely. He understood that they had become such treatment in this country. Is it that important?

"Seymour means that old man?"

"Yes, that is so."

"Then please."

One maid goes back down the corridor.

The four who entered the room, the maids attached to each remove the armor and helms, and receive the blood-soaked swords.

"Change of clothes is prepared here. If the clothes do not fit the body we will bring substitutes so please say."

they say. The four looking at the unfamiliar clothes,

"These are clothes like southern barbarians wear."

when Zhu Biao says, Zhu Biao’s beloved concubine Honghua also,

"How does one wear such clothes? Is this something to wear underneath?"

she is rolling her eyes. Li Jing and Meiyi are also looking in silence.

"Well, when entering the village, is it not. We should also follow the customs of this country."

When Zhu Biao says,

"Zhu Biao-sama, as expected are we, as those ones say, summoned, called and came here?"

Li Jing asks. Still not understanding. Zhu Biao faces the maids,

"I ask the maids. We are said to be summoned, but is such a thing something frequently done in this country?"

he asks. The maid shakes her head,

"No, I have heard it is the first time in several hundred years."

she answered. Zhu Biao further asks the maid about the summoning, but the maid has not been told detailed things,

"Later Seymour-sama and Hütter-sama will talk to everyone, so please ask at that time."

she was told.

"Perhaps it is a miracle of Jesus-sama."

Suddenly, Honghua began saying. Zhu Biao makes a face of again, but Li Jing and Xu Meiyi do not change expression.

"I was praying to Jesus-sama and the Virgin Mary-sama morning and evening. I was wishing for the safety of Zhu Biao-sama, Li Jing-sama and Meiyi. Now, surely Jesus-sama heard my wish, and moved us to this land. I think a miracle was caused."

Honghua takes out a cross from her chest and grips it. Zhu Biao did not have very good feelings toward Honghua’s faith, but since this time there is no choice but to call it a miracle, he thinks that is also so. There he tried asking the maid.

"In this country is Jesus Christ believed?"

In response the maid,

"No, there are many who believe in the Sophia god. Other..."

she began saying but Zhu Biao stops that,

"See Honghua, there is no Jesus in this country."

In response Honghua asserts.

"Zhu Biao-sama, the god of this country is called the Sophia god, I think. Jesus-sama is the one sent by god. The one Jesus-sama called father is surely the same one even as the Sophia god. God is looking at various countries, and sent the son of god, I think!"

Usually she is calm and follows whatever Zhu Biao says, but regarding faith she does not yield even one step and does not bend her own opinion toward Zhu Biao. Li Jing has seen it in the past so is not surprised, but Meiyi was round-eyed.

"Understood understood, Honghua, already fine. Indeed looking at this situation, we probably encountered a miracle of god."

Zhu Biao becomes troublesome and tries to end the talk but Honghua says "Geez!" while,

"Zhu Biao-sama, Li Jing-sama, Meiyi, let us thank the miracle of god. Zhu Biao-sama always says so, and tries to silence me!"

she shows anger puffing. In response Li Jing,

"However, we were surrounded by the army of the Later Jin at Guilin Castle, the enemy army also attacked inside the castle, and we were at the place of preparing for death. That in an instant moving to such a peaceful place, there is no way to say but a miracle of god."

when saying Meiyi also nods.

"Zhu Biao-sama, there are also ones left at the castle, and that only we came here from the battlefield, there is a guilty heart. However Guilin Castle was on the verge of falling. Should we not think of living in this country?"

At Li Jing’s words Zhu Biao also nods,

"I also think so. I thought it was a dream, and the afterworld might be here. Either way, I think there is no choice but to live here."

When saying that, the three also,

"Yes" "As you say" "I will follow"

answered variously.

There Seymour came.

"Earlier, did you say to the maids to leave their seats?"

when Seymour asks Zhu Biao,

"Yes. Regarding the future, we want to talk alone. It will not take much time, so for a while I want only us."

he requested. In response Seymour,

"Understood. There would be such things. Then let us have the maids leave their seats. You all, go outside the room. Then everyone, if there is need the maids are waiting outside the room, so please call."

Saying that Seymour bows and goes outside the room, and the maids also followed and went out.
