'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"Well, here we are."

Huh?

A carriage stopped in front of a large site that was dazzling just to see.

Shortly after everyone got off the carriage, Elm suddenly said.

"Sorry, oniisan. I'd like to talk to you a little more slowly, but Tris and I still have work to do."

Really?

"Don't worry. There's nothing particularly dangerous anymore, and oniisan should wait for the hearing."

Elm says nothing.

However, I came here and thought it would be a little bit more complicated at this time.

Tris said he was sorry.

"It's okay, but maybe you'll need a total cocktail, so keep practicing."

"Why 'cocktails'?"

"I'm a bit involved in Melia Steel's business."

Looking at Rosemary, she just laughed like a prank.

I'm talking about work, but the point is, did you just turn away my request to stay in Rosemary's mood until after work?

"... okay, be careful."

"Yeah, be careful, all of you."

Unlike you, what should I look out for?

I doubted it, but all I could do was get back in the carriage and see the two of them off.

If the carriage stops at the entrance to the garden, walk a little from there to the Mansion.

After facing the doorman, it was quite a sight that was spreading through the gate.

The size of the garden is still far from my general "house" image.That alone shows that Rosemary's house is quite abundant.

However, the garden itself is not a garden decorated with gorgeous decorations or flower beds.

If you can't force words out of my knowledge, it's like a vast sports park.

Killing scenery, isn't it?

Rosemary scoffed at me looking at the garden.

"Absolutely not. I can feel more at ease than a mansion that could be in trouble if I stepped off my feet a little."

"The training is over now, but the private knights are always trampling on it."

Then Rosemary glanced distantly.I looked at you, and there was a group of four knights waving around.

Rosemary turned her hand back and sighed small.

"Among them, I'm still a child who would be very happy if I waved."

Apparently, they've been at home since they were kids.

The old butler zeroes in on Rosemary, who looks a little fed up.

"That's not true.Even if their manners remain the same, what's inside is trust and love for your daughter. "

"... that's what I'm gonna do."

Rosemary didn't seem very convinced.

From my eyes, Rosemary seemed to be admired, but perhaps something didn't come to her personally. I thought so.

"" "Welcome back, miss." "

Then, when I arrived at the abominable two-storey mansion, I was greeted by four maids who looked thirty years old.

Rosemary answers and asks by raising her hand lightly.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"No, ma'am, nothing in particular."

"Very well, as I told you, he is my guest, Sou Yugiri.I'll leave it to the Megist to take care of it, but I want you to treat it with respect. "

"Yes, sir."

After that brief exchange, the maids went back to work, leaving one behind.

Rosemary looks back at me and laughs a bit like a prank.

"Are you disappointed the young maid didn't show up?"

"No, it's the Lord's mansion, Sage Ezoensis's mansion."

Yes, I'm sorry.

After saying what a real pity she looks at the old butler.

"As I said, take care of Saw."

"Yes, thank you, Yugiri."

"Yes, thank you."

Afterwards, he breaks up with Rosemary, who took him with his own maid, and walks through the Mansion led by an old butler.

Like the garden, this mansion is spacious, but I don't see any kind of gorgeous furnishings.

Vases and paintings that are occasionally found don't feel like luxury.Well, maybe it's just my bad eyesight, and it's not like that.

No, it's cheap.

And in response to my heart's voice, the old butler laughed.

I wonder if it appeared so much on my face.

"... I'm sorry."

"No, this is another lesson from Melia Steel.Would you say that it is prudent and rigid, or that it is too late, but as good as it is?Anyway, this house hates decoration more than necessary. "

Sure, it's like that.

Things are necessary enough.There are also decorative types that can be underestimated if there is no more, but there are areas where decoration becomes vulgar if there is no more.

It is an image that is aligned with the criticality of the area.

"The royal pocket knife should not stand out more than necessary.What is needed is to sharpen the blade in the sheath rather than stand out.For this reason, I have been focusing on decorating this house for generations, if I have any money to spend on it.It's a gorgeous decoration, and I can buy five knights of armor. "

I honestly thought it was a fine will.

At the same time, I'm sure you can do it because you're a little bit out of the power struggle.

There is no privileged class in this country other than the royal family, but there is a gentle class system.

The clan responsible for the lord's work will be like a nobleman.

And if you are a lord, you have work such as managing your own territory, and handling friction through interaction with other territories is also included in your work.

In that relationship, the power rise and fall, and the power struggle will also arise.

But as I've heard so far, the Meliastels have no territory.

I am not a lord, but I am not just a people.

It is a position similar to that of a royal, and at the same time it is a position of nobility.

What Meriastel is supposed to protect is not the people, but the royal family.There is no problem with a common lord, even if the place of power changes.

That's why they live with a single-core blade.

I can't help thinking that I don't even know what's going on.

I decided to speak honestly about the feelings that came to mind from the information I heard.

"Thanks to my homework, I was able to take on the people's escort in the Battle of the Demon King. Thank you very much."

"Fufufu, it's a little unusual to be grateful to the people."

The Meghist laughed in a bit of trouble.Like Tris and the others, it's a pale smile that suits gray hair.

I smile back, too. Then I was led again, but walked, but there was another painting in my eyes.

It looked like a picture depicting a family.

A man with a tightly stretched back face and a woman sitting next to him in a chair smiling.

In front of the two, an adult face girl and a little younger boy.

Each is dressed in a fine costume to be painted.

"It's your brother's painting to your daughter and her parents."

The Meghist who followed my gaze gave me an explanation.

While expressing some nervous expression, the girl, who seemed to be at ease, did feel the appearance of Rosemary.

Are you a family of four?

"If you don't include the side room, that's right.No, it would have been better if I had. "

The old butler clouded his words.

I remember talking to Rosemary about "The Resurrection."

She said she was doing it for herself.Maybe not.

"Rosemary is the principal agent, right?"

The old butler meditates on me after stepping in a little bit.

I thought about whether it was a good thing to teach, and I said that it was slippery so that I could carefully select the words.

"Your daughter's brother was an epidemic a long time ago.Since then, your mother has been mentally ill and is now resting in her vacation home.We are working to escape this mansion, so stay away from it. "

Well, in this mansion...

"Yes, only Miss Rosemary lives here."

Perhaps Rosemary's position was more painful than I thought.

I nodded heavily and changed my story intentionally, feeling like I had heard something I shouldn't have heard.

Meghist-san has been working for a long time.

The old butler smiles at the words as if he were feeling me.

"Yes, I've been sick for a while, but I have to watch my daughter's fate, and it's up to me to come back."

There was no light in Meghist's eyes that despised Rosemary.

I vaguely wondered if the people who wanted to support her like this were gathered in this mansion just because she didn't know.
