Chapter 15
Going to Raigen Kingdom
“These guys!”
Galya, who couldn't browse the gallery for a long time due to airplane mode, finally checked the gallery issue that had been burning since last night.
“Doing such vulgar things to my nephew without my permission!”
Seeing the post that an Elf sent a topless photo on Water Ability Gall and Saklasi saw that photo, anger surged up, but there was nothing Galya could do.
Because she had been browsing the gallery thoroughly wearing a mask. If she revealed she was an Imperial Princess to calm this atmosphere, she could, but how could that Galya do such a thing?
“Our nephew, you shouldn't fall for such a promiscuous Elf, okay?”
Galya knew only the method of causing trouble.
Water Ability User Gallery
Title: I heard there's a boy-crazy girl here?

How is that different from me who got cursed at? Sending naked photos to a man? How is that different from me who got cursed at?
With this much, another vixen like that won't appear again, right?
While binge-reading Saklasi-related posts, she sees a certain post.
“Our nephew! You were indeed a Saint-Rank! That's great!”
Seeing the comment that he jumped dozens of meters into the sky with a simple hop, Galya was certain. Since the post was deleted, she'd have to see to be exact, but his physical ability was at a level comparable to hers.
Now, whatever the elemental advantage between water and fire was, it wasn't important to Galya. She was just happy as if it were her own affair that Saklasi was a Saint-Rank Ability User.
And seeing the next post, Galya also became a Saklasi-related question mark collector like Katerina.
???
[Wish] ‘Mist Transformation’ that even Galya couldn't gauge.
“What does this mean?”
Seeing the video where a coin passes through Saklasi's mist-transformed palm, Galya became an exclamation mark collector.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I beat Saklasi in a mist-transformed state? At this level, even if he's not of Imperial blood, shouldn't the Empire absolutely hold onto him?
Water Ability wasn't much help in combat. Still, the physical ability shown so far was enough. Especially ‘Mist Transformation’ where physical attacks likely won't work. It was a fraudulent ability seen for the first time in her life.
Just imagining Saklasi defeating monsters on the front lines with her brought a smile to Galya's lips automatically.
If Saklasi stayed by her side, she felt she could stop acting boy-crazy in the gallery.
Does blood make the heart go out like this?
The truth was because Saklasi is the only male, never before and never again in the future, who is considered the same race yet not a blood relative.
Galya still hadn't realized that the fateful encounter she had wanted so much for 2000 years had appeared.

The Emperor also couldn't hide her surprise seeing the contents of the gallery. Additionally, she received a report on Saklasi's performance regarding the forest fire situation in Blue Cloud.
Now the Emperor also joined as a helpless question mark collector.
“He poured heavy rain over that entire radius?”
“Yes, it is true. Your Majesty.”
“Saying humidity is also water, he cleared away the forest fire smoke?”
“Yes, it is so, Your Majesty.”
“He reached the sky about 1 km away in a single leap?”
“It is truly unbelievable. Your Majesty.”
“What is this again? Mist Transformation?”
The Emperor also watched the video where a coin passes through Saklasi's palm.
“This seems to be a Saint-Rank level ability.”
If the Emperor had been by Saklasi's side, she would have heard that [Wish], but since [Wish] cannot be recorded on video, the Emperor didn't know.
The representative [Wish] of a Fire Saint-Rank Ability User is ‘Firebird’. The only person who could do that without [Wish] was the Emperor, a Transcendent.
Even the Emperor herself, a fellow Transcendent, didn't guess at all that Saklasi manifested ‘Mist Transformation’, comparable to that ‘Firebird’, without [Wish], and that the second Transcendent in history had appeared now.

I ate the in-flight meal I looked forward to, and hearing that cup ramen eaten on a plane is killer, I ate that too as dessert, and then I started getting sleepy.
Below the plane outside the window was full of cumulus clouds. When I thought I wanted to lie down on those fluffy clouds and take a nap, I realized another Water ability.
The clouds visible outside the window. I could move there.
Are all fellow Saint-Ranks like this? Can a Fire Saint-Rank also teleport if there is fire outside the window?
While thinking about various questions that came to mind, I arrived at the 「Raigen」 Kingdom, said to be the most powerful kingdom in the United Kingdom.
After finishing immigration procedures and walking on the street, I felt stinging gazes from earlier. Turning my head in the direction the gazes were felt, surrounding Beastkin were looking at me with openly reluctant expressions.
If it weren't for the Vice-Manager who followed to attend me, I would have been in trouble. He advised me to wear a suit and definitely attach the Imperial Baron insignia to the left side of my chest.
Even though they must know I'm an Imperial Baron, if the contempt is this much, someone might have picked a fight if I didn't have this mark.
It was the same even after entering the reserved hotel. Even the hotel employee's attitude is ridiculous.
Even while looking at me, without a word of greeting, he placed the key on the table with an expressionless face.
Yes, he deliberately placed it on the table. Ignoring my hand reached out to receive the key.
Is this the attitude of Beastkin dealing with a noble of Soi origin? Fine, calming myself saying this much is nothing, I entered the reserved room.
“I apologize. It is more serious than I thought. Although I am also a Beastkin, since I was born and raised in the Empire, I did not know well.”
“You said the Koopong former Manager's older brother is a Count? I wonder what the Count is like? I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.”
“Still, wouldn't it be different between fellow nobles?”
***
Yeah, it's definitely different! Shit!!!
“I heard the rumors. Congratulations on becoming the Imperial Princess's pet defective body. It's a very ama~zing thing.”
It was a dog bastard. The same dog breed as the Deputy General Manager, a Chihuahua breed.
“Not only the title of Baron, but becoming the Koopong Ruler of ‘Busanosk’ region! Representing all defective bodies, it must be the greatest achievement in history!”
Defective body was a derogatory term for Sois. Something about a defective body without the animal ears or tail of Beastkin or the long ears of Elves?
Rather, up until now was heavenly. At least commoner Beastkin didn't openly treat me like a subordinate seeing the Baron insignia on my chest, but this guy was acting like shit as soon as he saw me.
“Why is your expression so stiff? Do you think you can compare with me just because you became a low-ranking noble like a Baron? In any aspect, I am above you. Showing this much courtesy to a defective body is not because you are great. It's to keep manners toward the Empire.”
This is keeping manners?
“How can a defective body like you stand confidently like now in front of a noble? Originally, you should prostrate yourself and ask for permission to speak first.”
They said he's the Deputy General Manager's uncle, turns out he's the same level. Or is this the average of the United Kingdom?
“Ah, enough. I will overlook your manners. I looked into it a bit. What would an orphan have learned. Let's just talk about the deal.”
I stopped thinking. Munchkin protagonist. That was the direction I would go from now on.
“No, forget it. There is no deal with you.”
“What? You? Watch your mouth!!! It seems you are firmly mistaken about something? Leaving aside that you are a Soi, just with Count and Baron, you cannot use such a tone with me! Are all orphans at this level?”
“Vice-Manager.”
I called Manneric who was next to me.
“Yes!”
“Is there something like a sacred duel between nobles?”
“What? Duel!? You? Me!? Aha! Were you really High-Rank? Goodness. I thought that was a lie, but what to do? I am a High-Rank Electric Ability User.”
“Can you and I duel? Yes or no?”
“I guess you didn't become the Imperial Princess's pet because you're smart? Seeing you don't understand this simple thing. Stop it, you might die.”
Do normal protagonists just endure and pass over this situation? The protagonists I like weren't like that.
“Let's agree to grant the winner's condition. What will you bet? I'll go with breaking all your limbs if you lose.”
Eventually, if receiving orders from this guy falls through, I'd have to open a new business partner so the short-term loss would be severe, but I'll just endure and look for other measures.
“Are you out of your mind? Fine! Actually, I was curious too. What level a High-Rank Water is. Now you won't be able to take it back! Butler! Prepare the Colosseum!”
“Yes! Your Excellency Count!”
“If I win, let's say I receive 90 percent of Koopong's net profit. I will try not to scar the Imperial Princess's pet as much as possible, but even if you get hurt, since you're a Water Ability User, you'll recover quickly, right?”
The Colosseum was prepared quickly.
I didn't even think about losing.
What is there among Water abilities suitable for combat? Suffocating with a water mass like I did to the Deputy General Manager? No. Because there is something more amazing.
There was something I learned while coming from the hotel to the Count's mansion. A Beastkin passing by with an expression like looking at a bug. There is something I thought while looking at that receding Beastkin. Immediately, that Beastkin flopped down on the ground and barely got up with help.
1 second until falling.
A task as easy as maintaining one water mass in front of my eyes.
Blood was also water.
