The next morning, we accompanied the Duchess to visit the temporary housing of the evacuees in the city of Magne.
In the time leading up to this point, deputies and guard Claire had explained to the Duchess how they had come from the demonic assault.
And the Duchess was listening, as was Sharia yesterday, to the concomitant condolences of the refugees.
He then immediately left the city and returned to 'Fairy Ranch' after visiting several villages.
The Duchess only passed yesterday, so she wanted to inspect the ranch in detail.
For some reason, we were supposed to accompany them all the time.
By the way, Mr. Torcone's family had been released after breakfast.
Good for you, Mr. Torcone......
After the inspection, the Duchess again asked me to accompany her to the territorial capital as well.
Nia is the only one who seems to be able to refuse this request...
Nia seems willing to go.
I could go somewhere else too...
I only have a feeling I'll get caught up in something......
I'd like to stay in this city if I could, relax and help rebuild...
But... Normally, you can't refuse the request of the Grand Duchess, who is a nobleman... can you?
So I'm supposed to accompany you...... subtle.
I left Nia and Lilli and Chappie the only ones to take with me on the people-shaped members this time.
The rest of the team will continue to have a lot of work to do to develop the ranch and support the refugees.
The Torcone family should be ready for the relocation opening, so I'd like to be back by then...
I wonder how soon I can come back...
And this time on the road, I can't shorten my time with the Orio blast, as I always do, because I will be accompanying the Duke's army.
There won't be exactly three days of a normal itinerary, but will it take about two days...
We were already leaving this afternoon.
By the way, half of the Duke's army is tasked with transporting bandits who have become criminal slaves to the territorial capital.
It's supposed to be slower than us, so we're supposed to be late for the capital.
◇
The following afternoon, we finally arrived in the territorial capital.
It took a lot of time because the Duchess didn't force her to fly.
Because they also came while investigating the surroundings of the streets and the villages that had been wiped out.
"Welcome home, Sister Euphemia, Sharia, Nia and Grimm."
Mrs. Anna welcomed me straight into the castle.
"Anna, the city of Magne was more amazing than I thought it would be right now. Asylum-seekers also had a perfectly normal life. There are future work issues and challenges, the clothing and accommodation were adequate."
"Well, that was good. Thanks to Nia and Grimm, for one thing."
With that said, Mrs. Anna looked at us and nodded with a smile.
"Well. Officials and guards don't have protection, so it seemed hard to decide what matters. We did what we could."
Nia is totally friendly.
It still doesn't matter who you are...
"I'm sorry. Every town is in a mayhem right now, and we've almost lost the people we need to direct..."
Mrs. Anna bows her head sorry.
"Sounds like it. What are we going to do now? It's going to be tougher."
"Yes, as a matter of fact, Nia has a fold in to talk to you about it"
We were led to a meeting room in the castle.
Of course the Duchess of Euphemia and Miss Sharia are with us.
To summarise the consultation given by Mrs Anna......
The first request was for Nia to officially become the “guardian fairy” of this realm.
Naturally, there is no such thing as a "guardian fairy.”
But just like when the first Pigseed Border Uncle was born, he wanted us to be a symbol of people's hope and rebuilding by making a big announcement that the "Guardian Fairy” had appeared.
Nia was taking it lightly, basically because she didn't think too deeply.
Maybe...... I haven't thought about it.
I couldn't help it, so I asked for specifics.
Basically, I was relieved that I had no obligation whatsoever and seemed to be free and good.
Seems like we should act as usual as a symbol of peace of mind for the surviving inhabitants.
However, if there was somehow something reconstruction eventful out of the way of the story, they would naturally be asked to attend it.
Some reconstruction parades are likely to be combined with external appeals.
Well, as for the parade, it's still pretty much in parade, so it's not much different...
And the other thing was that you wanted to give me a title and take me up as a nobleman.
I couldn't read the story at all as to why that would happen...
Thank you. As a partner of the Fairy Goddess, I am a known being, and as a reminder of the first generation, I am the hope of the inhabitants as is Nia.
Thank you, as the return of the first Pigseed Borderline Uncle and the fairy goddess who gave her protection, it seems she wants it to be people's hope.
It just seems like a clown to me...
In a world where this kind of information network is underdeveloped, people will be enthusiastic about stories like the return of legends.
I don't know what that feels like. But it's very subtle to have yourself at the center of it.
It must be a decorative title as a symbol of reconstruction...... I have no intention of becoming a nobleman at all.
If I want to live freely but become aristocratic...... I just get distracted by thinking.
The only thing that's occupied my head since that story came out is how to say no successfully.
Now I'm narrowing my mind down with Navigator Command's Navigator Command for the 'Ask Yourself' skill.
That's how I feel, and the Duchess is staring at me with pressure.
Totally...... it feels locked on as a prey......
"This Pigseed Borderline Uncle has no nobility, no Borderline Uncle has died, no man. Normally, it would be crushed. To stop it, I want you, the hero who saved my land, to be a nobleman."
The Duchess laughs niggly as she sharply locks on to a prey named me.
Ha... I'm not laughing at all...
From there, the Duchess was asked about the top-secret muscles that survived the Pigseed Frontier.
Why did you do such an important thing to me... I yelled a few times in my heart that you wanted me to stop...
Realistically, there was nothing else to worship...... tohohoho...... too bad.
The top secret plan was to let Mrs. Anna inherit the housekeeper and make her a "female frontier uncle".
They declare that it will be fully supported by their parents, the Duke of Seyburn.
It seems a pretty rare case for a woman to succeed a housekeeper, but if the Duchess of Lady herself is a precedent, it's likely enough, isn't it?
Mrs. Anna seemed confused at first, but seemed to consolidate her determination that this was the only way to succeed her late husband's will.
If it was meant to be, I would have my oldest daughter Sophia pick up her son-in-law to succeed the governor, but she hadn't reached adulthood yet and didn't seem to want to burden herself.
And it became clear in the conversation...
Surprisingly, the Duchess seemed to be the first princess of this kingdom.
He's here to marry the Duke of Seyburn's house.
She is the current king's sister, and the king apparently has no head up to the Duchess of Euphemia.
Against the backdrop of that power relationship, he was making his nose rough when he managed to make this plan acknowledge.
Maybe... the most powerful person in this country... is this guy...
If you have as much power as that, I asked you not to need to make me a nobleman...
"It's not that easy. He can't be unreasonable because he's a king. The House of the Duke of Seyburn is weak enough to be the back shield.
In fact... there are no aristocrats, and I almost lost my officials.
Besides... rumors soon spread that the devil targeted the nobles to eradicate them, so the agents from the other realms wouldn't even show up for the time being. Because no one would risk being targeted by the devil.
That's why I need another eyeball to survive this territory.
I want to be reminded of the anecdotes of the first Pigseed Borderline Amber, the existence of hope that suddenly appeared like a Savior, and let me take charge of you and Master Nia.
The fairy goddess, who saved this realm from the crisis of devastation, once again declares herself blessed, bestows a title on her partner and takes her as a nobleman.
Together, if we were to start rebuilding the territory, we would not be able to destroy it without a bottom.
The nobles around us won't be able to say anything.
For us, fairy protection is sacred.
That's why your cooperation is essential. Please. "
The Duchess has lowered her head...
But... from what I'm saying, I guess Nia's the only one left...
I don't feel like I need to be noble...
I can't cut the boil, and Nia, who boiled the business, flew in.
"That's good, if you take it on. I've already taken on a lot of things. You're just going to be noble, because you're not going to be king or lord. If you do it."
I'm out... Nia's stirring up another cheap contract...
It's always this pattern......
And I really want you to stop saying such remarkable things because the Duchess reacted subtly in the "I've already taken on a lot of things" place...
But... I still don't like the aristocracy... and I'm going to be patient...
"I appreciate the story, but if a man like me can't help this realm after all, he's not going to be able to discharge his duties as a nobleman. Why not rebuild the aristocracy in the realm by setting up someone else who deserves it or a relative of the deceased aristocracy"
I decided to say no.
I considered it a navy for the Navigator command of the 'Ask Yourself' skill. It's a no but I don't think it's a very good no.
But I can't help it. I couldn't think of a good no.
"Not at all... you're a man who doesn't know either. That doesn't have an impact. Besides, I just made it noble looking for the remote, and that's what doesn't help me a lot.
Instead, it would be better if some of the noble second and third boys who are dull in other realms were newly served by talented personnel.
For this we must dispel the fear of the devil. That requires the presence of you who crusaded the devil. Not only Nia, but Tamer, the messengers of the Goddess, who butchered the devil, is essential. "
The Duchess laughed like a prank and called me what people call 'a young man with great arms'.
I don't know why, but I don't...
But I can't lose either...
"Ha... but... you're a little loaded on me. Traveling, doing business, farming dirt and living is sexually appropriate..."
"Not at all anymore... the point is, you don't like the trouble. You just have to make it less troublesome.
Hey, Mr. Euphemia, I think it would be nice to have the lowest title in the nobility, a one-generation honorary title... How about that kind of thing that just makes you a nobleman in shape? If only Grimm was shaped, right?
Nia has made such a proposal to me and the Duchess.
As always, this guy... you know my point well.
Sure, the point is that it's a pain in the ass...
I made it clear to this guy.
"I can't help it anymore. That's fine. You can have the lowest title, 'The Knight of Honor'. You are as good as you are now. Because as you wish, I won't let any blemishes happen. This title would have a lower chance of being called to a gathering of nobles, and it wouldn't be a major problem if you couldn't attend. What do you say we take this?
"Ser Emeritus" feels like an honorary chairman...
I really don't know if it's just a name...
As I silenced myself thinking about it, the Duchess went on even further.
"Oh yeah, I'll tell you something first, because I'm going to ask you to be Lord Emeritus and guardian of the city of Magne. It's okay, don't worry, that's just the name, too. I'll keep my word. Let the deputy do all the actual affairs. You're just a name. So what do you say?
"That's good. You can throw a round that you're good at!
That's what Nia says, it stops on my shoulder.
"A Round Throw I'm Good at"... you're right...
I'm starting to feel like I could take something...
Me... could it be... stupid...
It sounds like a "name loan”, and it feels a little backward...
It's just that I've been conceded so far to say no...
"Are you sure you don't want to incur any obligations? I just take the title... and the matter of guardianship is only a matter of form..."
"Oh, yeah. In the name of the Duke's house. Anna, you too, in the name of Uncle Borderline, we both promise."
To the Duchess of such a woman, Lady Anna had also given her immediate assent.
For once, I took my word for it... okay.
"Okay. We'll take it."
My sticky loss... well, I can't help it.
Anything lower nobility, it seems, can be acquainted at the Lord's discretion.
Officially, it seems to get the King's approval, but it rarely seems to cover it.
This brings me and Nia to an end, and the next thing I know, the agenda moves on to the story of rebuilding the Borderline Uncle.
