A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 513: The Ambush Temple Part 4

After the ceremony of the Syrah had ended and the "place” had been dissolved, Reus headed at his feet to the residence of the Marquis of Grimar.

A feast will be held in the evening to celebrate Reus becoming a Baron, but before that, to exchange opinions with those who seem to be allies.

"Phew...."

Reurus sighs while loosening his collar as he passes through the living room at the Marquis de Grimer's mansion. The Marquis de Grimer smiled bitterly when he heard it.

"Once again... I'd love to be a baroness to the Baron."

"Thank you... honestly... honestly... honestly? I'm not happy... but thank you in the meantime..."

Reurus lowers his head as he falls apart. Those who heard the words smiled bitterly.

Here is the Marquis de Grimar, who is in a position to assemble the aristocracy of southern Mataroi and still provides a place. Naturally, Natalia was accompanied by nobles who preferred Lewis and others.

"By the way... why did you follow me to you?

"Hmm? What a cold way to say I haven't seen you in a while! In the first place, you left me alone until I sat in the chair!

Of course, there was Marquis Sardari who accompanied him. Marquis Sardari looks dissatisfied with Marquis Grimer's remarks, but when the butler brings tea and baked confectionery, it falls apart.

"Hmm! The tea in northern Mataroi is good, but the tea in the south is also delicious! Hmm... these baked goods are also exquisite!

"... well, think of him as a figurine."

The Marquis de Grimer sighs somewhere tired. Although there is a difference between the north and the south, it is Reurus' intention to treat Marquis Sardari strangely and cluttered even though they are in a position to bring together a large number of nobles.

"But I'm in trouble... I didn't expect Reurus to be the only one participating in the Syrah's ritual, and I didn't expect His Majesty the King to bring up such a story..."

Louis starts drinking tea with his familiar hands, avoiding seeing the Marquis of Sardari. Behind it was Anemone's face, but she was not in a position to participate in the conversation.

"Yes, that's it. How does Count Werg feel about this?

As Marquis de Grimer, it was described as a quasi-bar in southern Mataroy with dependable combat power. Although the damage was less severe than that of Natalia, who was directly "in the palm of his hand”, it was something that the King would have eaten on the spot had he not been the other party.

"Well... I can't tell you anything. As Reurus said, even Lord Bernard will suffice to defeat the dragons."

"Well, I guess. It seems that the dragon may not be able to capture it because it is moving with the opponent... but is that the same thing as Lord Reurus?

"That's right... in my case, I'm more likely to come in from over there than from looking for monsters... so I'm not so confident about how to find them."

Sarah's presence allows us to detect a wide range of heat sources, but it's about a kilometer in every direction. Even if we can capture them, there is a possibility that the dragon could fly and escape.

"Mgh... nnh... if we're going to do everything we can, why don't we send out the First Magic Team led by Lord Reurus and Lord Bernard together? It's expensive, but I think it's reasonable in terms of minimizing the damage caused by dragons."

"Master, why don't you at least stop eating before we talk...."

The Marquis de Grimer says to Marquis Sardari, who is ill-conceived while giving opinions. But Marquis Sardari laughed lightly.

"Hahaha! The baked goods that came out tasted bad! Besides, it's good to think, but I don't think it's good to think too hard!

"These guys are... they're going to be tough on the nobles in the north."

Instead of shouting rudely, the Marquis Grimer sighs like he gave up. Hearing that, Reus lowered his head toward the Marquis of Sardari with a bitter smile.

"Thank you, Marquis Sardari. It was pleasant."

"Oh, don't worry about it! Originally, this was caused by an extra imitation! Besides, I would have represented the Northern nobles if I had to pull you away from Lord Natalia, but I'm so sorry you didn't have to!

Marquis Grimer exhales at Marquis Sardari, who laughs at him for saying so.

"That's my role... why do the northerners want to take care of him..."

The Marquis de Grimer murmurs, but I don't think he has such bad feelings. Sighing again and regaining consciousness, she turned her gaze towards Natalia.

"Anything from Baron Amondola?

Unlike “the other day”, this time the Marquis de Grimar shows his attitude as a position to bring together the aristocracy of southern Mataroi. Water is directed at Natalia, who has not spoken before, but the reaction from Natalia is weak.

"That's right... there are a lot of strange things going on here... but..."

Are you feeling sick?

Reurus was unexpectedly worried about Natalia's poor tooth cuts. Then Natalia blinked several times after seeing Reurus's face and shook her head as if she had returned to me.

"... no, it's nothing. Let's get back to it."

"Oh, uhh... I hope you're okay."

Anything wrong? Natalia opened her eyes to the Marquis of Grimer, although it was a Reurus tilting her neck.

"For my part, I probably set up that place to see what kind of person Reurus is."

"Hmm... I hope you don't get me wrong because I don't mean to belittle Lord Reurus, but you set up that spot to identify the tall Baron?

"Yes. I think it's highly probable... Your Majesty would have been surprisingly good from a court sparrow anyway."

That's how Natalia regained her temper, having a sip of tea and then smiling slightly.

"I wonder what the Reurus is reacting to and looking for... was it to find out? I don't feel like telling lies in that place either... oh, excuse me. I didn't lie about the swordsmanship guide, but I lied."

"You can't sacrifice Mr. Collard... who is absolutely necessary for our territory, right?

I don't think so, but 'I recommend my sword master! I couldn't bear to be summoned to the royal palace as a result of giving out Collard's name.

Although I think that Collard would be a royal swordsmanship guide without any problems as a revulsion, I could not do injustice like throwing Collard into the royal palace that whirled with charm.

"... well, that's why I think I tried to find out what the Reurus wanted. Position, status, future birth, fame or money... I'm burning my hands too, but I don't know what to expect from a court sparrow."

"I don't know if my life is enough right now... even the Baron Quasi is overloaded"

"I have the courage to ask you about returning to the throne in front of His Majesty..."

Marquis Grimer laughed bitterly, but he asked from hopeful observations whether it was a “deal like that” for Reurus.

"Ah! I accidentally blew it out! No, I saw the face of the man who spoke to Lord Reurus!

"I don't know who blew it up, but it was you... I don't know if I could turn that court nobleman against me.

Marquis Sardari started laughing with his hands together, and Louis pulled his cheek when he heard it. The Marquis de Grimer looked sharply at Marquis de Sardari as he raised his shoulders.

"Rest assured, Count Werg. He's already turned many enemies around."

"... the definition of the word 'reassurance' is crazy."

"Hahaha! Don't give me too much credit! That's the rest of it, isn't it?

"You didn't praise me..."

Louis sighed against Marquis Sardari, whether it was incompatible or because the throne was higher.

(Yeah... the aristocrats of northern Mataroi seem to be having fun.)

It would be better if the shrine in charge were light, but this would be a “shrine” where attachment boils. Reurus thought of that in his heart alone, but now it's better to think about the immediate future.

"So... what should we do now? Your Majesty... shouldn't I accept your request?

I think it would be okay if I were to get rid of the monster, but there seems to be some other trouble. Reurus asked alertly, and Marquis Grimer twisted his neck with his hand on his chin.

"I don't have to answer because it's about fighting power... but what's the reality? When Dragon is against him, he needs a lot of skill....."

"As long as I don't know if I can reach the senior level, I can handle it alone. If they're going to fly, with Eliza's help... it won't be impossible."

"Hmm... what kind of reward do you want? If you can hunt without having to, it shouldn't be a bad thing to owe your Majesty."

To the Marquis of Grimer, who advises him to do so, Reurus leans his neck with his heart alone.

(As I thought... nobility in this country is not loyalty to the King, but is linked to profit... even though loyalty is not zero.)

Marquis Grimer advises Leonardo to make a loan, but Reurus does not know how far to go because of his “posture”. However, as Marquis Grimer said, it was an opportunity to be grateful and to withdraw a reward.

(That said, there's no reward... if there's anything I need...)

Reus had a fine house in the town of Speranza, had enough money, and became a quasi-bar. The weapon or armor doesn't seem to want more than it does now, so I wonder what kind of order to place.

Other things I'm interested in are food, but all Dominic and Corona can do is cook for me - and then, surprisingly, “what I need” comes to mind in Reurus.

"As for the reward... can I ask you to send a butler or maid who can teach you manners? If possible, it would be better for people with high professional awareness to have no influence from other houses."

Some of them are needed for Baron Amondola's territory, but Reurus himself may need more courtesy from now on. Asked the Marquis de Grimer that way, the Marquis de Grimer slightly stepped forward.

"Hmm... butlers and maids who can teach others manners. It might be a good reward for teaching expertise."

"I think it would be nice if you were a little greedy... but you wouldn't mind. Mr. Reurus, I'll send butlers and maids from my house if I have to. I thought it would be a good opportunity to pay back what I owed you."

That's what Louis said with a bitter smile on his face - but his eyes weren't laughing.

"... look, it's hard to bother your acquaintance... right?

"What a nuisance. I just don't think our people are going to" check in regularly "to see if they're working properly."

"Hahahaha....."

Reurus laughs and parries Lewis's words.

Firstly, by gathering information on the defeat of the dragon presented by Leonardo, the opinions are unanimous, and then we move on to a public conversation while having a chat.

"Oh, yes... that's important, but we need to talk about tonight's banquet."

"I apologize for the trouble...."

"What, you don't have to worry about this because it's a“ nuisance fee ”. For the first time, there are many participants in the stand-up meal format, but basically they come to celebrate you. If you deal with them properly, that's it."

"That's appropriate... should I laugh for now?

Like Marquis Sardari, not to mention, but if we go along with the conversation, we should be fine.

Reurus thought so and wondered if he could have a good meal this evening.

(Ah, that's what I came here for...)

And Reurus, surrounded by many women who appeared at the banquet under the name of "celebration," learned that such an idea was sweet.
