A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Reurus raised his eyebrows small in the presence of the Marquis of Grimer standing in front of the Mansion's entrance.

(Is the Marquis welcoming himself...?

Welcoming the owner of the mansion himself is an easy-to-understand gesture of welcome. However, it was normal to meet with butlers and maids after being guided to welcome them.

When I visited Marquis Sardari the other day, it was unusual for the owner of the Mansion to welcome me from the beginning, just as it was Marteau who welcomed me first.

Of course, I didn't greet you alone with the Marquis de Grimer. Behind them are the butlers and maids, and as Reurus and Natalia descend from the carriage, they bow humbly.

"Long time no see, Baron Amondola. And Lord Reurus."

The Marquis de Grimer threw such a word with a faint smile as a sign of welcome. When Reus looked at Natalia, Natalia nodded back and opened her mouth.

"Long time no see, Marquis Grimer. Nice to meet you today."

"Long time no see. I'm glad you're doing well."

Natalia replies with a smile, and Reurus returns an unmistakable word. The Marquis de Grimer nodded back to both of them and turned his gaze towards Reurus.

"Regarding Reurus, I would like to congratulate him on this recital. I knew this could happen to you, but as far as I'm concerned... I'm a little dissatisfied with what I've decided to" jump over my head "."

The Marquis de Grimar, who, as he says, looks dissatisfied, has no choice but to put together the aristocrats of southern Mataroi. However, I didn't seem to be dissatisfied from the bottom of my heart.

"This was unexpected… The Marquis of Sardari recommended Reurus to the Knights with“ good intentions ", but it seems that there were many people who took the ride and plotted it."

"Marquis Sardari... I don't know what to do with that man. Mostly, I suppose Lord Reurus was just trying to pay for killing Slime... what a troubled man."

In Natalia's words, the Marquis of Grimer smiled bitterly and could not help it. Is that what the Marquis of Sardari would have done, or has it ever been?

"Marquis Sardari will also speak to the nobles of northern Mataroi on this matter… if there is anyone else who can help us, it would be a pleasure."

"I can't say I'll leave it to you. Besides, isn't that what we're talking about at the front door? The weather is fine today, so I tried to set up a seat in the garden. I'll talk to you there."

While Natalia was silently listening to Marquis Grimer talking to her, Reus looked at Nicolas with his sideways gaze.

…………

Sometimes in front of the Marquis, Nicolas stands next to the horse from the royal seat, expressionless and silent. However, the line of sight was directed at the Marquis de Grimer, which seemed to contain some emotions.

"I'll take the carriage here. Baron Amondola, Lord Reurus... and the“ butler there. "

When the Marquis of Grimal gave instructions to the butler behind him, he took the rope from Nicolas and moved the carriage. And just like Nicolas, she walked out to lead Reurus and the others.

The Marquis de Grimar guided us to a seat set in the garden. A white round table with “four” chairs and a sunscreen tent is surrounded by a flowerbed with colorful flowers.

(I have four chairs... where should I sit? Or perhaps you could sit with Senpai Nicolas?

When Reurus thought about it, Marquis Grimer, who had his chair pulled by the butler, sat down. Then Natalia lowered her hips to the chair and turned to Reurus.

"Sit down, too. I'm going to be a Baron, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"Ah... thank you."

Reurus also sat on the chair, thanking the butler who pulled the chair. Because of the round table, Reurus sat face to face with Natalia, but the chair opposite the Marquis Grimer remained empty.

(I don't think someone will come and sit down...) Are you trying to get Senpai Nicolas to sit down?

There is no sign of anyone else coming here, and it is unlikely that a butler or maid of honor will sit in front of the Marquis de Grimar. Reurus felt the air gradually tightening and felt a little uncomfortable.

"... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

And the Marquis de Grimer says that by surprise. When he heard that, Reurus unexpectedly turned to Natalia.

- What's the situation?

Natalia smiles when she sends her gaze in such a mood. It was like a smile that just told me to keep my mouth shut.

When Reurus looks around, it appears that the mouth of the elderly is trembling slightly among the butlers behind the Marquis of Grimer.

"... if you have extra chairs, can I help you clean them up?

Having heard the Marquis de Grimer's remarks, Nicolas continued to say so with no expression. The Marquis de Grimer somehow slightly diverted his gaze to an emotionless voice no less than his expression.

"No... that's not enough. Though the butler can't bother the guests. Oh, yes, you can sit down with the guests."

"No, I am Baron Amondola's servant."

"... is that so?"

It is an unusual conversation between the Marquis and the butler of another house. Reus sighed in his heart when he looked sideways at the faces of Marquis Grimer and Nicolas.

(If you look at it like this... you look alike. Senpai Sharon looks more or less like the Marquis of Grimal, and his hair colour looks exactly the same... this is, after all, a "thing like that”)

Clearly similar in appearance, Reurus is convinced of the blood link between the Marquis of Grimer and Nicolas and Sharon. Even if they say it's irrelevant, it's incredibly shadowy.

The question is, why are you here? I would have brought him here to talk about the Syrah, but when I saw the attitude of the Marquis of Grimer and Nicolas, I felt more like Reurus.

In that regard, Reurus has nothing in particular to think about. It's just that there's only one “outsider” who's been mixed up and uncomfortable.

Can I stick this in your neck? Honestly, I'd like to go home right away....)

Reurus looks back at Natalia. It was for help, but Natalia closed her right eye meaningfully and sent the wink to Reurus.

"Wow... somehow the Marquis Grimer and Senpai Nicolas look alike. It's strange."

Reurus, who received a silent reminder from Natalia, said such a word even though he thought it was white. It was a rod-reading and Daikon actor tone, but when I heard it, I saw the blood vessels rise at a rate that seemed to make a sound in Nicolas's temples.

A-ahh?

Nicolas squeezes out Doss's clever low voice despite the presence of the Marquis. When I heard that, Reurus said, "I told you to do it! I made an excuse inside.

"Excuse me. I brought you some tea."

But the old butler called out to stop Nicolas's anger. When did you prepare the teapots, teacups, and plates filled with baked confectionery, and start pouring tea into the teacups with your familiar hands.

"Have a seat, please."

And the old butler urged Nicolas to sit down with a calm voice. Nicola, who saw the old butler's face, looked as if she had bitten something bitter and sat on the chair in a reluctant manner.

The Marquis de Grimal stared at Nicolas in the chair and hesitated slightly to open her mouth.

"... it's been a long time, Nicola. It's been seven years... no, it's been eight years."

The Marquis de Grimar speaks such a language, but the majesty up until then seems as awkward as a lie. The voice sounded as if Nicolas was worried about something.

"... honestly, I don't want to face you. I can't help but say it once."

Nicolas takes her gaze away from the Marquis of Grimer and whispers. Unless it was Reurus's fault, it also looked like a stubborn child.

"I see... no, there's no way. How's Sharon?

"... you've heard about it from Mr. Kanji, right?

"I want to hear it from you. And of course, you."

The Marquis de Grimar takes a slight step forward and spins his words. Seeing the Marquis de Grimer, Reurus looked at Natalia and moved his lips silently.

- Am I okay here?

I thought Natalia would be able to read words from lip movements, but Natalia nodded to meet that expectation. As Natalia silently watches over Marquis Grimer and Nicolas, Reurus silently watches what happens.

"When I came to King's Landing this time, neither my wife nor her breathing companions accompanied me. I swear on my family name that I won't do anything to blame for being rude... so whatever it is... you can tell me whatever you want."

"... Sharon is fine. There's nothing more I can tell you."

Nicolas starts drinking tea when she's in a mood for tea cups. Is the tea hot, or is it in front of the Marquis Grimer?

(You and I are left alone... but it seems like you can't hold your tongue.)

Left unattended while inviting people from other houses - if it succeeds, it looks like a big problem, but Natalia says nothing, so she decides that Reurus will be fine.

Do you think you have a great weakness in the Marquis de Grimer, or did you “originally” grasp it? Considering that Nicolas and Sharon were in the abandoned city of Laval, the latter would be.

Still, this would be a big debt to the Marquis de Grimer. Nicolas stares at the Marquis of Grimer, thinking that Reurus is thinking about it.

"I'm an adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval... just Nicolas. Nothing to do with you... nothing to talk about from me... except for you who left Mom behind and threw me and Sharon out."

"Still, I'd like to hear it if I could. Whatever..."

The Marquis de Grimer persuaded Nicolas to stop beating him.

"--You and Sharon are my children."
