Retired Hero's Slow life

Chapter 17: The King Visits The Hero!

The King's POV:

Couldn't Elvin had picked a more suitable place to live?

I've nearly died countless times already just getting to his blasted house!

As I continued pushing on in my journey deeper into the forest, there, a ray of hope appeared in front of me.

It was an unusually structures building.

"No doubt, that must be the hero's!" I shouted, my energy returning to me as I laid eyes upon such a strange sight.

Hurriedly I went to the door and knocked on it.

What greeted me was not what I expected, instead of Elvin, I found some blue haired chick who gave me a look of disgust.

Realizing this must be one of Elvin's guests, I decided to introduce myself.

"Ahem, It is I! The Great King of-"

Before I could finish, the door was slammed shut on me.

How rude could one person possibly be!?

In a fit of rage, I knocked on the door again.

This time, a half-elf brat answered it.

"It is I! The Great King of Levinia! Now-"

The door was slammed, again.

Seriously, these girls have no manners!

On the verge of breaking down, I decided one more knock was in order.

This time some weird woman showed up with scales covered around her body.

Is she perhaps a dragon in human form? How rare, but if it's Elvin then I'm not too surprised.

"Yes, thank you, now then, It is I!-" I couldn't even get as far as before this time before the door was slammed with such force that I thought I was the one being rude for a minute.

After coming to my senses, I began pounding on the door demanding for it to open.

After about two minutes of pounding, Elvin finally opened the door himself.

"Sorry, I wasn't made aware you were coming today." He said.

"I see." I said, as I calmed down.

"Come on in and have seat." He said as he invited me in.

Looking over the entire house, I couldn't help but marvel at the genius design of it all.

"This house, despite not being as fancy as the royal castle, is much better crafted and refined than it. Did you perhaps come up with this design?" I couldn't help asking.

"Oh no, the design is from my previous world." He replied.

"Oh, yes, I nearly forgot about that. My apologies, it must feel awkward being given credit that is not your own." I said.

"It's fine. It's not like this world is as developed as my previous one. There was no magic there, so we had to progress with science instead." He replied.

"Science, you say? I would quite like to hear talks about this science you speak of, if you're willing to let me listen." I said.

"Sure." He replied casually.

Then we made our way to the kitchen, where the three rude women were sitting down minding their own buisness.

"Girls, meet the King of Levinia, he's an important guest and friend of mine." Elvin introduced me to the three girls, but they showed no reaction or interest.
