An A-Ranked Adventurer’s “Slow-living”

"Hahhhhh!"

Quiet morning time. I wield a wooden sword in the courtyard of the house of the Rocks.

Follow my envisioned trajectory as usual.

The courtyard is very quiet and I can only hear the sound of my swing.

The house has many maids and butlers in addition to my family, but I can't hear any miscellaneous sounds.

The morning air was a bit cold and clear, maybe because of the low temperature.

Around the house, small birds play a pleasant sound with a humming sound.

The time before the start of human and animal activities.

I like the quiet atmosphere of the morning.

So, if you move and sweat the first time in the morning, the day will start refreshingly.

It circulates the blood in the body, moves the body silently, and shakes the sword.

"... Erinalise Princess"

However, my favorite time ended with the call of the maid.

If you are a maid working in this mansion, you know that I like morning lessons and I don't want to be disturbed.

In other words, the maid would have had to call out, knowing that I was offended.

"I'm sorry to disturb my morning practice."

"I don't need to worry.

I respond to the maid bowing apologically with a soft voice and smile.

Then, the maid appeared a little relieved.

"My husband is calling me. Come to the office."

My husband is Helmut, the owner of this mansion and my father.

What is it all about to call in early in the morning? I heard that word for a moment, but this maid doesn't know it, but I can understand it if I go straight.

"Okay, tell them to take a little time because I'm going after I change clothes."

"Understood"

Call me at this time. Father will know that I am in training.

As an old lady, she can't go to her father's office with sweat.

◆

With the sweat from training and wearing the usual dress, I came to my father's office.

Make sure your bangs are not broken in front of the room or the dress is dusty.

"Father, Elinarise"

"Get in"

When he knocked, he immediately heard a voice prompting him to enter the room, so he entered.

When I entered the office, I smelled of a unique paper.

Dad likes to read books, so there are many books in the office.

I liked this calm smell.

"Elinarise, are you guys interested now?"

Dad, standing at the window, turned around and heard that.

Despite being surprised by the abrupt story, Dad is a very serious expression.

It's not just a small talk.

"Is that a man who is conscious of his companionship?"

"Ah……"

When he asked him to press, he nodded deeply.

There are many men who are interested in my appearance and personality and apply for engagement, but I have refused them all.

Because no man is worthy of the Rocks.

The Rocks are one of the most powerful aristocrats in the Silphid kingdom. It cannot be left to a man who has only half-life.

"Unfortunately, no one seems like that."

"Really"

When he reported his honest situation, his father slightly broke his expression.

He did not show much emotion and he was a small father outside of work, but he understood that he was glad because he had been with him for many years.

Rejoice if there are no men who care about me? If so, what you can think of is a marriage.

If there is no suitable partner in the country, will you welcome aristocratic men in neighboring countries?

Dad suddenly said that while waiting for a story to be cut out.

"North Ende has a need. Elinarise, come with you."

"eh?"

I can't understand why we're heading for Nordende in the flow of this story.

This is bad father's bad habit.

I think that others can see and understand what they are pushing forward.

Thanks to this, I have always had the meaning in my father's words and the habit of thinking about the situation.

Nordende is a small village at the western end of the territory governed by the Rocks.

Certainly, there is an unusual flower field where flowers bloom all year round and it is a very rich place.

Speaking of the events that are the reason we are heading for this time ...

"A harvest festival?"

"Ah……"

Father nodded at the words that hit me.

But that's weird.

Aside from big tax revenues, Nordende is a small village.

The village receives invitation letters every year as a form, but either ignore them or send them a special letter of congratulation.

Nevertheless, he says he will take me this time. As expected, I don't know why.

"Why me and my father ...?"

"I'm going to see a man who will be your husband."

Is it really connected with the previous marriage here? I mean, I have never heard such a story before. It's too steep as ever.

"Is there a man worthy of the Rocks in such a rural village?"

"... Oh, yes, you've heard of him, a man with tremendous power."

When asked questions of doubt, Dad answered with a confident expression.

I can see my father's eyes. I guess that man is so good.

I feel my doubts in my heart turn into great curiosity and expectations.

"What is that person?"

"Dragon killer, Aldred."
