My King System Chapter 168
Advertisement
While the guards from whichever place that Yuki was held prisoner at just wanted Yuki to go out of his way and try to attack them so they could simply apprehend him, Yuki wouldn't make it that easy. Even with all the unreasonable questions they asked and the odd actions they took, it didn't mean anything to Yuki because as long as they would leave him alone in peace, he was willing to do anything.
"Well, that was rude. I've just recently got this place so I haven't got a chance to go looking for furniture," said Yuki as he prayed that his summon which he had sent to buy furniture would only come once his new interrogatories left.
"I guess that would make sense. What else are you doing in this place? I mean, it's got to be boring to sit at home all day," the woman asked another question as she tried to slowly but surely break Yuki down until he was vulnerable.
"That's what I was thinking! So, I managed to get a job here. I don't need the money but it gives me a reason to live in this place without feeling bored all the time," Yuki joyfully replied. While he wasn't actually happy to answer them, he needed to make sure that they didn't suspect him of having a weapon which can control monsters or learn the fact that he was leaving the kingdom at night to go inside the dungeons.
"Oh really? I'm so happy for you. What does this said job require you to do?" the woman asked as she still sought to find a crack in what Yuki was saying so that she could ask more risky questions and he would be forced to answer.
"Well, today was supposed to be my first day there but these goblins stopped me. So, I guess I'll be starting tomorrow," Yuki said with a slight bit of fake disappointment.
"That's a shame. However, speaking of the goblin attack, did you have to come across the person or thing which was battling against the goblins before we arrived? Of course, we came to the rescue as soon as we heard the news but still, the gobliins made little to no progress in destroying the kingdom. On top of that, we saw an odd figure but it was gone right after we looked away from it. At first, we suspected that it might've been the mini boss from the 9th stage of the 2nd dungeon but we quickly scratched that idea since no dungeon monster can leave the dungeon stage which they are placed in. However, we couldn't be so sure so we came to ask you about it. So Yuki, did you come in contact with the person or thing that was battling the goblins before we did?" the woman asked.

"Well, I didn't but I think I saw something moving when I looked outside my upstairs window. I couldn't see what it was because my level had been decreased which also meant that my vision is the same as what it was before I gained all my levels," Yuki replied.
"Never mind then. We wasted our time here," the woman said as she got up from the couch and began to head out the door. Her two comrades followed suit as they didn't have any business with Yuki.
However, right before leaving, the first one of the three which had stared down at Yuki and grinned at him when they first came inside Yuki's house turned back for one last face off against Yuki.
"What was with that look you gave me back there? Perhaps I should teach you who's in charge here," said the man before bringing is fist towards Yuki's face as he tried to hit Yuki.
"One, Switch!" said Yuki as it was his only hope of surviving a direct hit from someone like him since his level was put back to 1.
"Sit!" said One.
Right before making contact with Yuki's face, the man who was going to attack Yuki fell to his knees as he was placed in a state of weakness due to the immense presence of One. Even though his presence was decreased due to not being able to use Yuki as he had been able to previously, One was still capable of temperate impoblizing opponents which were a lot stronger than Yuki.
"Why you!" said the man in anger as he tried to go in for another hit at Yuki. However, before he could do that, a single step on his back by the woman of the group placed him on the ground as he was unable to move. As a precautionary measure, the other man of the group stepped on his arm so he wouldn't be able to attack Yuki anymore.
"Please excuse our comrade for his unprofessional behavior. I don't know why he's acting like this all of the sudden. You were lucky enough to survive. But don't fret, this will never happen again and he'll be suspended from duty forever," the woman said as she forcibly dragged the man out of the house.

Once they all left, Yuki closed the door behind them and sighed in relief since they had found out nothing about him.
...
"So how did it go?" the woman asked the man who had tried to attack Yuki.
"It was a success. There's definitely something or someone who is at play here. I've come to two hypotheses. The first is that Yuki is completely weak and can't do anything to escape from this place on his own but he has someone else helping him which would explain why I was stopped at first and it wasn't by you along with being able to explain why the goblins had been managed to be held back until we arrived. The other theory I have is that both the person or thing who stopped me back then and the one who held back the goblins until we arrived is either Yuki or a part of Yuki. Either way, the best thing to do is to put someone inside the kingdom to monitor him. It'll also be easier since the wall has been broken. Until it's repaired, we've got to make sure no one leaves and no one enters, except our hidden spy of course," the man who had tried to attack Yuki said.
"So in conclusion, the mission was a success. Those fake goblins were worth it. I'm surprised though. I didn't expect him to agree to help out with the plan. Changing your ability is quite risky. Especially considering the position he holds. Though, in the end, it doesn't really matter now. He can change his ability in about 3 days anyway and everything went according to plan. I would've asked him to join us to celebrate but he's not the type to do that," said the woman as they left the kingdom.
...
Back at Yuki's house, he was still resting on his couch as he tried to calm himself down. The interaction with his interrogators had taken a lot out of him. Especially the last part of it where he almost died. Not that he was scared of death since he would be able to respawn by asking Zero to help him do so, but he was scared due to the sudden random attack.
Moments after the people who had interrogated Yuki had left, someone knocked at his door. While this had scared Yuki due to the possibility that the 3 had come back to try to speak to him some more, he ressured himself that it was impossible since they had found out nothing about him and that it was probably his summon who had come with the furniture he was asked to buy.
This time, Yuki ended up being lucky. Once Yuki opened the door, he was relieved to find that it was indeed his summon who had come back which also meant that all the necessary shopping was done too.
"Thank god you came after they left. I don't know what I would've done if you came while they were here. My only choice would've been to call on Zero and reverse time itself by a few days," Yuki said as he quickly forced his summon to get inside as fast as possible. Without even greeting his summon properly, Yuki gave the king from the 8th stage of the 1st dungeon a command.
"Okay. Take everything you bought out of your inventory and set up everything as soon as possible. It's no longer safe for you to be outside the crown for long periods of time. Even though I believe that they didn't find any hard evidence against me, they'll still be keeping an eye on me so I should be careful. So, until you're done setting everything up, try to avoid being seen through any windows. After all, I want to keep living in this kingdom for a bit more until I can get stronger. Once that happens, I'll crush all of them and you'll also be able to explore whichever parts of any kingdom without having to fear that you're putting my life at risk," said Yuki.
