A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Lewis's unexpected welcome left him no time to be confused, and Lewis and the others were guided to a room they thought was a reception room. It was also a courtesy for Lewis to lead Lewis and the others.

The spacing is about twenty tatami mats wide, and red carpets are laid on the floor like the front door. There was a nice wooden shelf by the wall, and a gorgeous figurine was placed so that it would not be unpleasant.

The walls are adorned with many portraits, but as far as their appearance is concerned, they must be the ancestors of Lewis.

In the center of the room is a leather sofa for guests and a table polished enough to reflect their faces.

Lewis led Reurus into the reception room, but the butler and maid who greeted him at the front door hardly followed him. Only the oldest of the butlers followed Lewis, and the others seemed to return to their positions.

(After all, the weapon remains intact... are you okay?

There was no mention of weapons or protective equipment even on the way into the docking room. Reurus may think they won't get mad, but Reurus thought they might be a little less careful.

"Now... let me welcome you again. The tea will be here soon, so I want you to calm down first."

Lewis laughs openly at Reurus and suggests sitting on the sofa. You don't think you should sit before the guests, Lewis stays standing.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Upon Lewis's recommendation, Esther sat on the sofa in a familiar manner. Although Reurus slightly lost sight of it, he stood behind Esther sitting on the sofa.

"Reurus, why don't you and the girls in the back sit down?

"... no, we're Esther's escort."

Though I thought it was rude, Reurus shook his head against Lewis.

I don't think Louis and the others are coming, but Reurus and the others were asked to escort Esther. In addition, you can't sit with Esther, who seems to be in the top position in the “public”.

(I mean, the Dragon Slash can't sit in the way....)

There is a love sword on his back, and he cannot physically sit down. I can't just leave "Dragon Slash" with the butler or the maid. The weight is the same, but when someone else in red touches it, it becomes a “catastrophe.”

"Really? If that's okay with you guys, I don't mind...."

While saying so, Louis turned to the man standing beside him.

A man dressed neatly in a butler's clothes would be in his mid-50s if he were to judge his age by his appearance alone. It is longer than a revulsion that does not reach 180 centimeters, and in this world its spine is straight despite its aging.

The wrinkled face is age-appropriate and has a gentle smile that reassures others. The romance grey hair was wrapped around the all-back, and the gently narrowed gaze was an impressive man.

"My name is Sebasti-Tiano, and I am the ordinance of the Viscount of Velg."

Sebastian, the man who thanked me for saying that, but I also have a trick for lowering my head.

"... what's a house order?

Reurus, who was thanked by Sebastian, whispered to Eliza who stood next to him. Then Eliza answered with an impressive look.

"Simply put, he is the highest ranking employee of all. You must be so trusted to give me a family name."

Eliza answers quietly, just like Reurus. I didn't know how the existence of a family name led to evaluation, but I nodded convincingly because I could understand Sebastian's position.

"Sebastian has been serving me since my grandfather's time. Sebastian's father has served my Vicomte for generations... since his ancestors. It's like another grandfather to me."

That's what Louis said and smiled when he heard Reurus and Eliza talking. From that expression, you can see a sense of trust in Sebastian, but considering only his age, he is certainly as far away from his grandfather and grandson.

As I was talking a little bit like that, the door between the reception doors was knocked and a young maid came in. And quickly, but with an unpredictable amount of politeness, I lined up the table with black tea, white vials, and cookie-like confectionery, and left without making any footsteps.

It's too early to say that it was only a short time in time. It is a sophisticated movement that does not even stand dust. Reurus watches such a maid's movements and exhales in his heart.

"Reurus and the others, please."

Then, a tall table was placed next to the "when to do it” Reurus, and tea and the like were lined up. Sebastian set the stage so that he could eat and drink while standing.

Next to Reurus was a high table as tall as Reurus's chest, and next to Eliza and the others was a high table to match their height, and the teacup was picked when they reached out.

"Ah, thank you...?

It was a revulsion that tried to say thank you reflectively, but I felt a strange discomfort and the words were cut off.

(Hey... hey, wait a minute... when did this guy move?

Reurus turned a dazed gaze to Sebastian, who looked cool and returned to Lewis.

I'm sure she was distracted by the maid's movements, but at some point she allowed Sebastian to approach. His arms, lined up beside the Reurus with no footsteps and no signs, appear to have been deceived by foxes.

Sebastian's movements were too natural for Eliza and the others to realize what had happened. They distribute tea very naturally, as usual.

--It's a hypothetical story, but what if Sebastian was malicious?

If you just let the killer go, you will also notice the revus, but you may approach without even understanding the killer.

"Hmm... I've never had tea with such a good scent... huh? Nh, nh?

After a few seconds of being late for the revulsion, Eliza narrowed her eyes to the fragrance of tea and made a suspicious voice. Then he turned his mind and opened his eyes to the fact that a high table and tea were placed beside him.

As she opened and closed her mouth like a goldfish, Eliza watched the reel. The face was stained with astonishment, and the reality in front of me seemed unacceptable.

Wow! What is this sweet? Can I eat?

"Sara-chan, you have to eat this after you get permission."

"... good smell"

Sarah was taken away from her by cookies, and Meer stopped her. Neddy looked at the tea strangely, and there was no doubt about Sebastian's movements.

(Magic...? No, what kind of magic is that?)

In a world where magic exists, what happened today seemed more magical than magic. Reurus looks at Sebastian with a surprise, and Sebastian smiles softly.

"If this is what the butler likes."

(What is your preference?

Unexpectedly swallowed the words that came out of his mouth, and Reurus pulled his cheeks. And at the same time, I was convinced.

(I don't know if it's a house order or a butler, but is this Lewis' escort...)

That's pretty good, too. He was a man who felt the same air as Gilba, for example, among his Reurus acquaintances.

Reurus muttered in his heart that he was convinced not to take the weapon. "Dragon Slasher" has a length that is difficult to swing indoors, but you think you can “do something” before you pull out your weapon.

(I don't feel magic... but this guy seems to have the ability to hide magic like Gilba-san.)

When Reurus is not sure whether to be surprised or alert, Esther opens her mouth to cut off such a mistake.

Reurus and the others have had their drinks prepared, so may I ask you a few questions?

I don't know the look of Estelle sitting on the sofa with her back to the Reurus, but the voice sounded harder than usual. It's not too late, but it's probably a noble way to talk.

"Yes, of course. I'd like to talk to you about a few things, but first..."

When Estelle prompts her to talk, Louis turns her attention to Reurus.

"I also received a letter of apology from Lord Collard, but let me apologize again. My cousin was rude."

"Cousin?

It is Carlo who remembers rudely, but even if he says he is his cousin, Reurus doesn't have a pin. The color of my hair and eyes is the same, but I don't look like Louis either.

"Oh, Carlo is my uncle's son. Ruvillia... Carlo saved my cousin's life, so she told me my family should be the messengers. I asked for the right thing to say....."

Louis talked puzzled when he was surprised to hear from Carlo's men.

(How dare you curse me like this.....)

Remembering Carlo, Reurus slightly tilted his neck.

"No, that's an excuse. I'm the one who ordered it, so I'm responsible for everything... that's why I apologize. I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable."

That said, Lewis lays his eyes down tired, but he immediately fixes his face and laughs.

"And I want you not only to apologize, but also to thank me... for helping my sister Ruvillia. I really appreciate it."

As Louis says, make sure you can give him heartfelt relief and gratitude. What Louis had in mind at that time was the face of his brother, who cared about his sister.

However, Louis never lowered his head while saying he would apologize or thank him. The nobleman's position makes him do that, simply spinning words while staring straight at the Reurus.

"I appreciate your help, Mr. Ruvillia... no, all my servants."

But Sebastian broke his hips and thanked him for removing himself from such a Lewis. Reurus suddenly smiled bitterly at the appearance of correctly lowering his head.

"I've already received a letter, and I've heard from Mr. Collard."

"Still, don't you think if we had the chance to face each other like this, we should say it?

Lewis is convinced that's what Lewis said. I entrusted letters and words to the messenger because of the distance, but if I could face each other, it would be reasonable to thank and apologize directly.

"It's better to talk face-to-face than to misunderstand what I want to talk about..." That's why I asked Lord Collard to call you guys.

That's what Louis smiles at, but I'm sure that's the real deal now.

Reurus caught on to it and tightened his mind.
