Chapter 377 – Getting Ready to Meet the Agent

Cruz looked a little worried.

「B…but Al! I’ve been hiding my identity…I shouldn’t see her!」

「That’s not a reason for you not to go, Cruz.」

「I…I guess not.」

After hearing that, Millia said,

「Then I’ll go with you.」

「So what will you say if she asks how you beat him?」

Cruz asked, and Millia looked a little bothered,

「Well…」

「Just leave it to me, Al!」Vi-Vi said.

「You’re going to tell her, Vi-Vi?」

「Yeah, I can say Luka and I creamed those orcs and ogres, right?」

Then Timi said,

「Let Millia take the front while you take the rear.」

「I think that’s good. Magicians do always stand in the back of a party.」

「I thinkI should go too, I want to see her face.」

Hearing all this, Cruz then worryingly asked me,

「Al, are you going to at least get a disguise?」

「There’s no way the agent’s going to allow me in there with a mask on. I should at least put a beard on, though.」

After I put the beard on, Millia looked at it and said,

「We should have Timi there as a guest as well.」

「Hm…I guess I don’t mind, but why?」

「Well, she is an ancient dragon.」

「Wha?」

Timi didn’t seem to understand, so I explained.

With a fake beard on.

「You’re not going to grovel to an agent as an ancient dragon, right?」

「Of course not.」

She was almost like a god, being an ancient dragon. There was no reason to.

「If I was there to guard Millia, she would expect us to bow to her. And without doing so, Linmia trading would be in a fix.」

However, if Timi was the guest of Millia, then she would be there as a great ancient dragon.

No reason to act lower than the agent.

「I see, it makes sense. I’ll be her guest.」

Timi seemed to understand my explanation. However, she thought a bit, looked at me and said,

「Hm, but, if that’s the case, then your beard would be bad, right?」

「Bad?」

「It would. If someone came to me in a disguise or to Shiggy, I would punch him.」

「Punch me?」「ryaa?」

Shiggy looked up at me from my pouch.

「Yeah, I would! It’s rude, you’re hiding your true identity from me, after all.」

「I guess if you say so, you’re right.」

I had the feeling that she was right.

If anyone came before an agent in disguise, then they must be plotting something.

Even something like assassination.

「Of course, if you were disguised FOR Shiggy, then I would understand. And if we knew that you were doing that for a reason, then we’d forgive you, but…」

Timi was saying that wearing a disguise in order to deceive a ruler was unforgivable.

The agent wasn’t a ruler though, but was royalty, and was also in the family of the crown.

So the direct hand of the crown.

This, of course, extended over all humans. So it was bad to have a disguise.

「Also, since it’s the crown’s family, you probably already know her, right?」

「…the possibility is high.」

After beating the Demon Lord, I had attended many parties with the royals.

Well, the nobles, the royals, their retainers, and so forth.

Honestly, there were so many parties in such a short time, I can’t remember it well.

「If she knows you, then your beard might be revealed.」

Millia said seriously.

「What? I don’t think she’d know. After all, I didn’t know it was him when I first saw him.」

「「Wha?!」」「ryaa?」

Timi, Millia, and Shiggy were all surprised to hear that.

「Yeah, that’s true. You didn’t know it was me.」

It was right after I arrived at Mulg.

When I saw Cruz again, I had this beard to hid myself.

Cruz was totally fooled.

「No, she’d totally know.」

「Yeah.」

Both the girls were sure I would be found out.

「Really?」

Cruz was still unconvinced.

Vi-Vi was just watching, but said,

「Hmph, maybe we should just leave Al at home.」

「I know he wants to meet her, but that might be best.」

When I had given up on meeting the agent,

「Well, instead of being Millia’s guard, he can be my friend, and put the wolf mask on.」

Timi said happily.

「That’s right!」

「He is my friend, after all! Right, Shiggy?」

「ryaa ryaa」

Shiggy was happy at the fact.

「It’s true that there would be no problem if you wore that mask with Timi.」

No way a human could question the ways of an ancient dragon.

No matter how royal, there are just somethings you don’t do, like test the gods.

So I turned out being Timi’s friend in the visit and not Millia’s guard.

I guess this was more honest than the other way.

「So put that mask on!」

「Yeah!」「ryaa!」

And that’s what happened.
