Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Then again, it was a game world. Keep your mind calm. Focus…

In my previous life, I often read novels about summoning heroes from other worlds, but in this world, they only called in energy, not people? Moreover, the description before and after the book says, “At the suggestion of a magician with knowledge of another world,” and so on.

The word “update” suddenly came to mind. Regardless of the fact, as a metaphor, it might be correct. Assuming that this world brought in technology and knowledge from other worlds whenever a problem occurred, and updated and transformed it.

Moreover, when there was no mention of a King or a person in power summoning heroes, it seemed as if God, or rather the world itself, was automatically updating itself. At least that was my impression, and that explanation makes the most sense to me. If we replace “God” with “management,” I was tempted to say that this world was a game world after all.

However, it would be dangerous to jump to a hypothesis based only on the information I have gathered today. I wanted to organize the information, and there may be some information that is still missing. I was overloaded with information, so I avoided making a definite statement until I finished reading the rest of the article. I would leave it at that for today.

“Let’s get back to it today, shall we?”

“Yes.”

I put the book away, as quite some time must have passed, and took out a list of supplies and documents about provisions from my magic bag. These were the documents I had prepared in advance for the work I was supposed to be doing today. A government-approved business disguise. If the media were here, I’d be in big trouble, but I decided not to think too much about it.

I greeted the guards in the security office, ascended the long spiral staircase, returned to the castle, made a detour on the way, and then headed for the office assigned to me.

The security office had a restroom, but there was no restroom in that library. It seemed to me that the book cases were designed for storage purposes only, not for prolonged viewing. If that were the case, I wonder if there might be another facility somewhere nearby. I would hate to think about the existence of such a ruin.

When I entered the office, Neurath and Schunzel stood up and bowed to me. Basically, they were my bodyguards, serving me and Lily at the castle in the morning. After that, they went to the castle with Max, Augen, Valcay, and others to do their duties and training as the Knights of Zeivert, and when they were finished, they came back here to pick me up again.

While I was in the underground library, Max seemed to be pushing them around, but neither of them seemed to be injured, and Max was excellent at holding back. If he was about to become a reckless black company boss, it would certainly be better for me to intervene.

Schunzel offered me a document and a letter that were on the desk.

“Welner-sama, the Prime Minister has entrusted this to you.”

“Yes, I’ll look over it right away.”

The fact that it was a letter suggests either that it was not urgent or that he was busy and only wanted a reply. The Prime Minister would have many things to do, so it was understandable. At any rate, I looked over the contents of the letter.

As I flipped through the documents, it seemed that what I imagined was true. This was another troublesome job waiting to be done.

“Welner-sama, what is it?”

“Just to give you an idea of what it’s about, this is about the events that happened during the duel trial that involved the temple.”

“Isn’t it too late for this?”

I could see why Neurath was so concerned, and why Lily looked slightly worried. But from what this document stated, the purpose was different.

“That’s the ostensible reason. The royal family is seriously planning to investigate the church.”

Everyone gulped. It was not surprising, since this was unprecedented, at least in the history of this country.

“It seems that not only me, but several nobles with ties to the church will be involved in the investigation there, for different reasons.”

“Will it be all right?”

“It’s not like the whole church is against us.”

In fact, the Archbishop and the High Priest Leppe seemed to be happy with the investigation as well. However, it was certainly necessary to be careful.

After all, a large-scale investigation would indicate that the relationship between the royal family and the church had completely deteriorated. Therefore, it seemed that they decided to take this roundabout approach. And for that reason, they accepted the Church’s proposal.

“I heard that the High Priest’s response is that he has no choice but to let the festering rot drain out.”

“I see.”

I wonder if they intended to get rid of the troublesome ones at this time. I think it might also be a part of factional strife, but I wouldn’t mind either way.

It probably took this long to set up everything because of the back-and-forth between the royal capital and Finnoi along with the interaction between the royal family and the High Priest. They most likely had to set the proper conditions, rights, etc., that were exchanged behind the scenes, but it would only make my stomach hurt if I try to think about it, so I would just be ignoring that.

“It seems like there are still many things that need to be arranged that may require more scheduling time, so it may not be today or tomorrow, but until then, please don’t mention this to anyone else.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Understood.”

I think I should just concentrate on my own work until the day of the meeting.
