Good News: The Hero Is Her Ideal Type; Bad News: The Hero Is Her Ideal Type! / Recruitment Announcement; Yunyun Arrives
After arriving at a reception hall in the palace, the three of them successfully met the real owners who summoned them to the royal capital this time, Artoria and Meli.
At this moment, Artoria was seen wearing a Platinum-colored royal costume and sitting at the top of the table, with his deep eyes exuding a sense of oppression belonging to a superior.
Behind Artoria, Meli, holding a staff and wearing a white robe, looked much gentler, and nodded to the three An Xiu with a smile.
An Xiu noticed that Meli in front of him winked playfully at himself while Chris and Darkness were bowing their heads and not paying attention.
"Gui'an, His Highness Artoria."
On the other side, although her true identity is a goddess, her apparent identity is just that of a thief named Adventurer. Chris is saluting Artoria with Darkness on the side.
Different from Chris's normal greetings, and An Xiu's indifference with no movement at all, Darkness was much more excited when facing Artoria's performance during the salute.
However, Anxiu and Chris were not surprised. After all, one of them knew the plot, and the other knew the background and details of Darkness very well. They knew that Darkness's family had been guarding the royal family for generations. Now they met Arturia, the royal family leader who claimed to have single-handedly defeated the demon king/main force of the army. It was normal to be a little excited.
"No need to be polite."
Artoria shook his head, and then looked at An Xiu.
"You should be Mr. Braver An Xiu in the prophecy of Meli, right?"
The two people's eyes met. In terms of acting skills, Artoria is undoubtedly much worse than Meli. Fortunately, what she needs to do is not complicated.
The reason why Meli and Meli put so much effort into giving An Xiu the identity of Braver is to allow An Xiu to gain enough respect in this world and to arrange a suitable reason for the two of them to support An Xiu.
By Meli Using prophecies to build momentum is only the first step, and the next step is the real highlight.
"It is also my ideal to be able to completely end the Demon King's army, quell disputes, and bring long-lasting peace to the world."
"Since in the prophecy, as Braver, you can do all this, then I am also willing to believe in Meli's judgment."
Artoria stood up and came to An Xiu. Then, under the gaze of Chris and Darkness, he slowly knelt down on one knee and lowered his majestic head.
"Bell zeguo Artoria Pendragon, I am willing to serve you as a knight and become the sharp blade in your hand to realize your ambition and eliminate obstacles."
At this moment, Chris and Darkness, who were standing aside, widened their eyes at the same time.
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about, Your Highness Artoria! As the sole heir to the next throne of Kingdom of Belzerg, how can you be loyal to others?"
Darkness was so shocked that he was a little incoherent and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Meli.
"This is normal. After all, in the prophecy, Lord Braver led us to defeat the devil and bring peace to the world. Since he is the leader, Artoria naturally cannot usurp the throne."
"Yes, but even so, there is no need to go to this extent, and wasn't that prophecy made by you? Did you ask His Highness Artoria to do this?"
"It's none of my business. The reason why Liya did this was out of her own heart."
"And not only Liya, I will also follow Mr. An Xiu. After all, I was also one of the people led by Mr. An Xiu in the prophecy."
"Oh no, if that's the case, you can no longer call me Mr. An Xiu. You should call me Mr. Braver or Master."
"Wha, what, even you?!"
Watching the conversation between Darkness and Meli, Chris on the side looked at the scene in front of him with some doubts in his heart.
After all, in her opinion, even without An Xiu, the so-called Braver in the prophecy, Artoria's ability is enough to realize the prophecy's great wish to defeat the devil/army and bring peace to the world.
On this point, those crushed demon kings/main forces and cadres must all have a say.
What's more, Miss Artoria has the help of an equally powerful Meli. Logically speaking, the two of them should not need a Braver to lead them, let alone someone like Artoria who directly chose to be loyal to An Xiu because of a prophecy.
Is it because Ms. Artoria has a very serious character that she made such a choice directly after identifying the prophecy?
But no matter what, with the support of Miss Artoria and Miss Meli, regardless of whether the prediction about Braver from Meli is true or not, An Xiu's identity as Braver has now been directly confirmed.
After all, as I just said, with the abilities of Miss Artoria and Miss Meli, even if An Xiu is really an ordinary person who knows nothing, he can easily realize all the contents of the prophecy with the help of these two people.
In fact, it may not matter whether there is An Xiu or not.
No, no, it's a bit rude to think so. Since it was Miss Meli herself who made this prophecy, and Miss Artoria also recognized it, then the two of them must have a reason for doing so, but they just didn't discover it.
In short, with the allegiance of Artoria and the recognition of Meli, the voices in the room gradually subsided.
Everyone sat down again, but the difference was that this time An Xiu was sitting in the first place, and Artoria and Meli were sitting next to An Xiu.
"Then, please ask Mr. Braver to make arrangements for our next actions."
"After all, you are the one who leads us in the prophecy. Liya and I will fully support all your decisions."
Just listen to Meli say with a smile.
In response, An Xiu nodded unceremoniously.
"In that case, I'm hungry now, so go prepare a banquet for me."
"I haven't had a good meal since I came to this world, so I'm not in a hurry about defeating the Demon King. I'm going to enjoy it first."

Chapter 218: Good news, Braver is the ideal type; bad news, Braver is the ideal type!
Three days have passed since I came to KonoSuba world and arrived at the royal city.
During these three days, An Xiu had no intention of defeating the Demon King. Instead, with the support of Artoria and Meli, he experienced the royal family's decadent life in the palace.
Although the royal family in this world, at least the life of the royal family of Kingdom of Belzerg is not rotten. After all, it is the country on the front line against the Demon King/Army. Even the king will go to the front line to fight with the Demon King's army.
However, this is also cheaper for An Xiu. After all, the old king and other royal family members are on the front line of fighting against the demon king/army, so in the entire palace of the royal capital, apart from Artoria, there is only one royal family member, Princess Alice in the original work.
The problem is that Princess Alice is still young, and Artoria is currently taking orders from An Xiu, both openly and secretly. On this basis, there is also Meli, the chief True Magic of the palace. division platform, it can be said that under this situation, the entire palace has become An Xiu's back garden. Even if An Xiu has no strength on the surface, no one dares to disobey An Xiu's order.
"So, are you really Braver?"
Darkness, who had also stayed in the palace for three days, looked at An Xiu with a questioning expression and said.
Originally, it was a misunderstanding that she was brought back to the royal city in a daze. As early as the first day, Darkness had actually planned to leave.
After all, although I am a little curious about Braver in Lord Meli's prophecy, in Meli's prophecy, An Xiu, Braver, should be a great man with a noble character, grand aspirations, and bringing peace to the world.
For such a noble person, Darkness will have respect in his heart, but he will not have any thoughts of contacting him.
The ideal man in her heart should be a lazy person who is lazy, has no ambition, has no masculinity, and can only rely on women.
To be more specific, she is required to go out to earn money every day, and then use all the money she earns to satisfy her own selfish desires. When she is in a bad mood, she will vent her desires on herself like a wild beast, and then she doesn't care about herself afterwards. It is best to command herself with a strong attitude at ordinary times, and to treat herself as a servant without any burden, leaving all the money, work, housework, and battles to her.
In the opinion of Darkness, the above conditions should not have anything to do with An Xiu.
After all, he is the Braver who is predicted by Lord Meli to bring peace to the world as the chief True Magic master of the palace. He is the object of allegiance that His Highness Artoria will not hesitate to put aside his royal status, and he is also the person that Lord Meli wants to assist. How could he be a man who is greedy for pleasure, addicted to desire, and not seeking advancement?
This is how it should be...
Unfortunately, An Xiu's unabashed attitude exposed his true nature in front of Darkness, Chris, Artoria and Meli as early as the first day.
Good news, Braver is my ideal type.
Bad news, Braver is my ideal type!
Although the XP and nature are different from ordinary people, it does not mean that Darkness does not have the concept of a normal person. On the contrary, she can clearly realize what in her eyes His Royal Highness Artoria is loyal to.
I originally thought that the noble royal family put down their status and joined hands with the noble Braver to create an ideal future. It was a good story that could be sung by bards in the world. However, I did not expect that the loyal Braver was not a great man but a hypocrite.
How can Darkness accept this? From the original work, Darkness's attitude toward Sato Kazuma's contact with Princess Alice can be seen. She and the Family behind her are firm supporters of the royal family.
Unlike Darkness, Chris did not have too many negative impressions on An Xiu because of An Xiu's performance in the past few days. On the one hand, as the person An Xiu first came into contact with after coming to this world, Chris knows more about An Xiu and can tell that An Xiu is not a bad person in nature. On the other hand, she does not think that An Xiu, who became Braver because of a prophecy, must dedicate everything to the cause of defeating the devil.
Braver was also a human being before he became Braver. He was not just a tool to defeat the Demon King. It is normal to have his own desires.
As long as the final path and result are correct, then even the goddess is not qualified to criticize if it is just some hedonistic behavior without doing anything bad.
"So don't draw such arbitrary conclusions. Maybe Mr. An Xiu is just resting for a few days and will soon set off to defeat the Demon King."
Chris stopped Darkness from questioning and hinted in a pointing tone.
Well, as a kind-hearted God who cares about believers and ordinary people, she really hopes that An Xiu can defeat the devil as soon as possible.
After all, in Chris's view, with the support of Artoria and Meli, An Xiu really only needs to go up to A to defeat the Demon King. As long as An Xiu himself does not get close to the battlefield, there may not even be any danger in this journey to defeat the Demon King.
An Xiu is not surprised by this.
As the incarnation of the goddess Eris who is responsible for managing this world, Chris must be more or less aware of some of the strengths of Artoria and Meli. Seeing that the hope of defeating the Demon King and restoring peace to the world is close at hand, and being able to watch An Xiu enjoy themselves for three days before not being able to help but warn them in a suggestive way is already an amazing strength.
If it were Aqua who wanted to get rid of the Demon King as soon as possible and return to the Heavenly Realm, he might not be able to ignore An Xiu's feelings and want to follow An Xiu's ears 24 hours a day, and he could still feel at ease while urging An Xiu to defeat the Demon King while staying behind to enjoy himself.
Don't doubt it, based on Aqua's early appearance in the original work, she is capable of doing such a thing.
Change to Chris, the incarnation of the goddess Eris in the human world, and her attitude becomes much more comfortable.
"It just so happens that I'm a little tired of enjoying the palace these days. In this case, it's time to consider leaving the capital to go through the process of defeating the Demon King/Army."
Just listen to An Xiu say.
It's just some enjoyment of eating, drinking and having fun. An Xiu has tasted enough at Arknights World.
The freshness of the first few days in the KonoSuba world has passed, and we have pretty much followed the original plan to form the Adventurer team, and then go have fun with the Demon King/Army.
Thinking of this, An Xiu called Artoria and Meli.
"Next stop, return to Axel!"
Chapter 219: Recruitment Announcement, Arrival of Yunyun
"So, you returned to Axel to form your own Adventurer team here?"
Axel, Adventurer guild.
Returning to the original starting point again, Chris asked An Xiu.
"That's right. After all, wouldn't it be boring if there were too few people on the road to defeat the Demon King?"
An Xiu nodded and replied.
Chris couldn't find anything wrong with this. In her opinion, An Xiu probably didn't know the specific strength of Artoria and Meli who had just pledged their allegiance to him. From this point of view, it was the right choice to find more companions to increase the chance of winning against the demon king/army.
As the city of Adventurer for newbies, Axel is undoubtedly the most suitable place to start.
Meli on the side also nodded in agreement at this moment.
"Yeah, that's right. After all, Braver met his partner during the journey, and then defeated the devil together. This is a very royal and orthodox process."
"I just don't know what Mr. An Xiu wants from his adventure companions? Do you need Liya and I to help find a few?"
"For example, Princess Alice, who is from the same royal family as Liya, may be young, but her strength can already slay a dragon easily. If necessary, Liya and I will go out personally and easily fool Princess Alice... No, I mean to invite her to the team."
"Just let the royal family go."
An Xiu rejected Meli's proposal. Although he was interested in Princess Alice in the original work of KonoSuba, An Xiu was not in a hurry to contact her, let alone force her to join her Adventurer team now.
After all, Artoria and Meli are in charge, and the strength of the Adventurer team that An Xiu is preparing to form has been overflowing from the beginning. If Alice joins the team, it will definitely overlap with Artoria.
Therefore, at least for now, An Xiu does not intend to let Meli fool Princess Alice into joining his team. If Artoria returns to the royal capital in the future to handle government affairs on behalf of the king, he can let Meli find her to take over for a period of time.
And the most important thing is that if Artoria, who is the sole heir to the future throne, and Alice, who is second only to Artoria in talent, are taken away by him, An Xiu is worried that other members of the royal family who are fighting the demon king/army on the front line, especially the old king, will explode directly on the spot.
"I don't have any strict requirements for the members of the Adventurer team. As long as they can look at each other, everything else, such as strength, is secondary."
"For example, Miss Chris, would you like to officially join us as a companion and form the Adventurer team with us?"
Just listen to An Xiu ask.
"Well, I don't care. Anyway, I'm used to being misunderstood for so long."
"Since you've officially invited me now... Okay, let's form a team."
Chris nodded and spoke.
"But don't you plan to invite Darkness?"
"It's not necessary. Anyway, if I really need to ask her to do something, I just need to ask Liya to order her directly."
Hearing this, Darkness stood up immediately.
"But, damn it, you actually want to do this to me and His Highness Artoria. If it weren't for His Highness Artoria, I would never give in to you!"
Let me tell you, I think you seem to be enjoying yourself right now. I feel that even without Artoria as a shield, Darkness would still symbolically resist for a few moments before surrendering and declaring defeat.
"Then next, Liya, go and post the announcement of team member recruitment."
"I understand."
