I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Chapter 134 - Return and the Marquis
On the way, I spent the night across the mountains on the northern side of the Lute Sea and arrived in Gizan at around noon the following day. I should have flown pretty fast, but the northern part of the continent was far away. It's probably about the distance from Tokyo to Alaska. I've never been there. I wish I had fished for salmon.
Welcome back, Mr. Beat.
"Welcome back!
"(Grunts)"
When you arrive at the inn in Gizan Nishimachi, the four children left behind welcome you with a smile. Everyone's got a good blood color, and they don't seem to have any problems with their health.
"I'm home. What's changed?
"Yes, Aristotle has told me that she is recovering and that she can leave at any time."
"The eggs haven't hatched yet."
The Debkappa and Caesar-Venedict scandals have led to internal audits and the Royal Northeast Army is now solemnizing its activities. The store is closed. In the first place, we haven't recovered from our defeat in the naval war, so we can't really defend ourselves. Fortunately, the Nolan pirates are not active because we have destroyed our base. Noran's own head of state will be in turmoil, so we won't be able to organize any action for a while. Peace for a moment.
That's why there's not much confusion without Mr. Aristotle. You're supposed to be dead. Even if it comes out, it won't open a hole. No, the hole is too big, so it's not a big difference if it's a little chipped.
"Yes, let's get ready for the trip tomorrow and leave tomorrow morning."
Dolton's house has been vacant for a long time, and I'd like to go home and relax. I want to introduce my children to the workplace, and I want to show my face to Takumura. Let's finish the request from the Marquis as soon as possible.
◇
Head west along the southern shore of the Lute Sea and spend the night in the city of Chito. The next day, he crossed the north-walled mountains to the south, went out into the open sea and returned a little east to San Palace, the territorial capital of the Marquis of Hugo. The border with Jarkin is closer than I thought.
By the way, all the itineraries proceeded by boat by air. I don't know what that means, but that's what I'm talking about. Never mind, the ship we caught from this pirate is useful. Let's take it back to Dorton.
All of a sudden, I thought you might meet me at the Marquis, but Mr. Aristo said, "It's okay because I'm here." So I dropped the ship off at the port and headed there without an appointment.
Aristotle today is a white uniform with a beautiful embroidery of sparkling gold threads. My hair and eyebrows have been cured and my good-looking face is polished. I'm about to wake up to a wave of murder.
The arrival of a flying ship caused a lot of noise in the harbor, but when Ms. Aristo stepped down to the pier waving her hand, it turned around and turned into a cheer. Apparently, the Marquises are popular with the people. Damn, this is how handsome I am... oops, I accidentally entered "weak P before weak P + weak K". Watch out! Watch out!
As we moored the ship to the port, a carriage of about two or six people came to the port. Welcome from the Marquis. With Aristotle in sight, the news ran all the way to the Marquis.
"Young man! Lady!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jii and Benjamin jumped out of the dynamically open door. My face is in trouble because of tears and runny nose.
"Hey, Benjamin. You look fine."
"Oh, young man! You're all right! Ji, Ji!
"Yeah, you're worried. But it's all right, thanks to you, Baroness Face, you're back safe."
"Oh, the Baroness!... yes, where is the Baroness?
No, it's me, Grandpa. Of course, it's unlikely to be recited at this age.
"Long time no see, Mr. Benjamin. I'm Baron Beat-Face."
"I'm sure of that... Lord Beat!? How dare you be a swordsman!?"
Well... It's still fresh. "
"Oh, that's it. I am delighted. Again, on behalf of the Marquis Hugo servants, I would like to thank you for your help."
They say congratulations and apologies, but they don't smile at all. If I were a nobleman, it would be difficult to get Christella back. Civilians can't help us. Well, Miss Aristotle has returned safely, so there's no need for Christella to return to the Marquis.
"Anyway, young man, Milord is waiting for you at the Mansion. Let's go to the carriage. Baroness Face and the young lady, please come here."
We finally meet Marquis Hugo. Thank you, you're a person who can't grab a portrait just by listening to people. Looks like it's not going to be a rope, so I have to get in touch with it.
"We're finally going to introduce you to your future partner! I'm getting excited!
No, Kristella, you're just reporting your work, right? It's not "Say hello to your stepfather."
◇
The Marquis de Hugo was all the way up the gentle slope from the port of San Palace to the north. The slope itself is not strong, but you can see the city of San Palace far from this Marquis Mansion. Maybe he's climbing about 600 meters. I can see the temperature drop on my skin.
The distance from the port will be more than ten kilometers. Ordinary people struggle to climb up unless they're in a carriage. I'm perfectly fine because I can fly.
Only me, Christella and Woo are on their way to the Marquis. Woo-chan is running in parallel with the carriage. A good distance for a walk with a big dog.
Everyone else decided to get the right accommodation in the city of San Palace. We don't have to go together because it's just a report, and we'll meet up when we're done. I haven't talked to you about where to stay, but I can find it using signs detection so there's no problem.
There are no dwellings around the Marquis Mansion, and on the south side there are smaller vineyards. Do you like wine? The mountains seem to be continuing on the north side, but they don't seem to be natural. The interval between trees is too constant. It must be part of a shredded or planted, artificial garden.
"Winemaking has long flourished in the Marquis de Hugo, and wines made from vineyards in front of the Marquis are particularly popular in the capital as' Marquis wines'."
Did you see that on your face? Benjamin answered my question.
I guess the tone is a little different because I became a Baroness. It's not a bad thing to change your attitude depending on who you're dealing with. That's manners and manners.
Workplace manners can be taught faster than technology and knowledge in onboarding. It also makes sense in verbal and telephone response training. I don't know, half the time as a socialist. If you think it's good to be Frank for anything, you'll soon have painful eyes. Manners make people.
It takes about five minutes to walk around the main gate of an open mansion and drive a carriage. At last, the Marquis Mansion was a five-storey building made of martial arts stone. In the buildings I've seen before, the castle of King's Landing is next to the temple of Parker. There are only three marquises in the kingdom. Towards the corner of the building is a spire that seems to keep an eye on the surroundings. It's no longer a mansion, it's a fortress. What are you going to fight?
As he got off the carriage and headed towards the entrance under Benjamin's leadership, the entrance door, which was open to Kannon, was opened and a child, about five or six years old, ran out.
"Oneechan!
Damon!
The child rushes to Christella at a glance and jumps to his neck. Christella, who is gaining strength with physical enhancement, accepts dangerously.
Hmm, that's Damon, the wrong brother. Is it because I'm not hungry, or is it not very similar? My hair is milk chocolate and my skin is a little dark. Does it resemble the color of pale eyes?
I heard that she was six years old, but for that reason, she feels young and lacks tongue. Is this still what happens to a purely cultured boy?
"Welcome back, sister!
"Damon, how are you?
"Yes! I made a lot of swords today!
Damon talks to Christella with a pleasant smile after he presses his face against Christella's chest. I see, that's the child's privilege. Learn. I'm not interested in apprenticeships.
Even so, have you been practicing swords since you were a kid like this? Indeed, Damon has a short sword on his left hip. [M] It's as long as my sword, but it's usually a one-handed sword. The second son of the nobleman who did not succeed the governor often joined the Knights, so he may be training now in preparation for it. The Marquis looks surprisingly bad.
Huh? Damon and I have eyes on each other. Damon will be in a bad mood soon enough. [M] What? And when he comes before me, he pulls out his hip sword...
"I can't believe you're rubbing your sister's throat! I'll make it worse!
The tip of the bamboo light (...) was thrown at me. Oops, child brave show up!?
