I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 192 - Summer Return. But it's not a holiday.
"Mom, I'm home! Already born!?"
"Well, welcome back to Beat. Nyah, not yet. I think we're almost there, guys."
After we cleared the Border Sets, we headed all the way to the village... to the town of Dantes, the territorial capital of Viscount Weissman. Because it's time for my brother or sister to be born. I'll be your brother! Hey, Metcha, have fun!
I saw a cloud flying behind the carriage when I flew at the highest speed I had ever seen. It would have been the first time in the world that an airplane cloud had been created. It's not a plane, it's a carriage.
When we arrived in town, we greeted Sage, who was the gatekeeper, there and went straight to her mother.
My father was the chief of the village... no, the house changed to near the center of town because he became the waitress of the Vicomte, but I was able to detect signs, and I didn't hesitate to reach my mother.
The new house was not a former wooden earthen wall, but a dolton-style bungalow log house. Now that it's easier to cut wood out of the big forest, I guess we changed it to this format. It is about twice the size, and the floor is covered with thick slabs. Apparently the grade is up.
It seems that the Village Chief's residence and the Vicomte's residence were similarly extensively renovated. I have to go say hello later, and let me look forward to how it has changed.
Are my brothers and sisters lucky (?) It seems that she was not born yet, and her mother was sitting in a comfort chair and sewing something that looked like she was wearing. Two eyes on the boulder, calm down. My father seems to be on patrol in town.
Childbirth is a big event in life, no matter what the times. Neighborhood support is essential. I knew I wasn't married in my last life. Unfortunately, there's only so much I and my father can do. Because there are delicate issues that are unique to women, like delicacy.
Fortunately, there are many women around me. With their help, many problems can be solved.
Besides, it is beneficial to be able to study in advance because they will all experience it. There's a big difference between what I've experienced for the first time.
I see. I thought I wouldn't make it. Well then, we'll all ask for your help. I'm the village chief... no, I'm going to greet the Vicomte. "
"I'll give it to you. Luca, I'll take care of this.
"Oh, yes, I'll take care of it. Mr. Beat, can I give you a souvenir?
"Yeah, except for what I'm taking to the Vicomte's Mansion, I'm serving it for dinner tonight. If you don't eat quickly, it'll get worse, so you can use all the meat."
"Ugh! Well done, let's have another feast!
"Oh, I'll come with you. Maybe it's about the money."
Hmm, everyone's division of roles is completely consolidated. Christella is my secretary, Luca is the maid, Kicca is the accountant, and Argna is hungry. This looks immovable... is that okay, Argna? You're turning into a pig cat.
◇
Hmm, I see.
"The Vicomte is in trouble, too. I can't believe we have to have such a big mansion."
"Oh, it's the same as the Dolton Mansion of Beat, isn't it?
"It's off the edge of town, and this is the middle of town. It's not worth the future."
Hmm land rolling too Why don't we try it when we get back to Dorton?
"about..."
Village chief... no, it's the Vicomte. I am troubled by the way I used to call it. I guess you're getting used to it already. We need to be careful and fix it.
The house of the Vicomte was also a Dolton-style log house. It's as big as my Dolton Mansion, but it's a lot bigger. The fenced garden is more than three times the size of my mansion. I guess I'll make it into a garden someday. It's the Vicomte, and we need a proper format.
Meanwhile, the wood used is thick. Our neighborhood is normal (?) It is a demonic product, but this is probably because it is wood from Omori Forest. There is a light difference of about 1.5 times. If you think so, the room may not be bigger than you thought.
The Vicomte has already returned from the front. Sage, who was the gatekeeper, said so. Even if I perceive signs, I do feel signs from the museum there. Now, knock and say hello.
"Excuse me! I am Baron Beat-Face, appointed to represent Dolton! We have arrived nearby at your service, so we have come all the way to greet Viscount Weissman!
"... what are you going to do? Come on, get up.
"Yes."
When I said hello properly, I was greeted by an astonishing Viscount. It's the same gorimacho, but the clothes you're wearing are a clean, raw shirt and tea leather pants. The big chest muscles visible from the large open chest are playing.
You will be prompted to enter a brand new reception room leading from the entrance hall. It's a calm, aristocratic reception room with a tone of grease, wood brown, and beige. It closely resembles the reception room at Earl Bullhead's Mansion in Bordersetz, which has been visited before. Anyway, the comfort of sitting on the sofa... hmm, that's soft enough to ruin people in good shape! Christella and Kikka stood behind me as usual, not sitting on the sofa. It's a big sofa that could seat about four people.
As the Count sat across from the low table, he lowered the large pile of baskets that he had carried on the plane.
First of all, souvenirs. The dried meat and seafood of Feilong (Wyburn) that Ende brought. The meat is frozen, but please eat it early. "
"Oh, I'm sorry. None of them are available around here. Ginger! Excuse me, take it to the kitchen!
A little while later, when I heard the 'yes' voice from afar, the Countess Ginger came. It's a familiar apron. It seems that even if I become a Vicomte, my chores will continue.
"Oh, it looks delicious! Thanks, Beat! It's worth cooking."
"You're welcome."
Ginger brings a basket with her face. It's supposed to be pretty heavy, but you lifted it gently. Perhaps Ginger also learned to strengthen himself?
Even though it's such a spacious villa, we're the only ones with signs of people.
"Don't you hire a helper?
"I want to hire Yamayama, but I simply don't have enough manpower. Land and farmland have spread, but there are no more people."
The Vicomte has vast agricultural land. There is no doubt because I opened it myself a few months ago. However, it appears that we have not yet earned more manpower to maintain it. Though it's the County, it's the edge of the border. Transportation is bad, and there are no people who migrate.
"You got a prize from the king, didn't you? So you didn't buy a slave again?
"I've been thinking about that... even though there are a lot of slaves. The town cannot develop without money. If you don't call me from the outside, there's no way out."
That's right. The lack of craftsmen and merchants makes the economy difficult. Does not develop.
Because there are specialty products called forest potatoes and monster materials in the big forest, it seems like it will gradually develop if traffic is managed... because it's around the border.
"Looks like the injury has healed completely. It's not important."
"Hmm, thanks to the physical strengthening you taught me. If I kept it for half a day, the balls would come out of my wound. The doctor was surprised at that. Now it's just a thin scar."
What, that's a little scary. Which assassination fist heir? I'm sure that strengthening your body will help you recover and heal, but it shouldn't have been that dramatic. Actually, did the Vicomte have a cheat? No, maybe it's synergistic with that forged flesh. Don't tell me you won't betray your muscles.
As a matter of fact, I don't know anything about my father, mother, or the Vicomte being somewhat cheaty. Nothing else, it's my influence.
I speculate that magicians are likely to be born in aristocracy that can use magic because magic elements and magic are close to each other, so I am susceptible to their influence. As you notice that the scent of flowers is melting in the wind, if you feel that the air filled with dark magic elements is different from the air that is not, is it encouraging the perception of magic elements?
And perhaps it's not just about parents and children, but even adults can experience the same phenomenon. Thinking so, it explains my father's and mother's cheats. It's the nearest, longest being. The amount of magic I've been exposed to will be enormous.
Also, since I have been talking about it all the time, it also has an impact on the Vicomte, and it is thought that it leads to amazing physical strengthening and healing ability.
If this assumption is correct, it also explains that Jasmine's sister was able to master magic manipulation early. We used to play together when we were kids.
When she grows up, she doesn't seem to experience magic when she learns to manipulate, but Jasmine is still young. It will be expressed not far away.
"Well, you just said you were a substitute, right? The titles, the barons."
"Yes. I went to report back from Ende, and the king told me so and I got a letter. Here, this."
Remove the folded letter from the waist bag and give it to the Vicomte.
"You made such a mess of the pleadings you received from His Majesty... indeed, the official pleadings bearing the royal seal. Congratulations, you're no longer a baron. I'm going to be lined up for the title next year."
"Thank you. I don't need any more titles."
"Your Majesty will push you, whether you want it or not.
"Hmm, that's possible. It's also an idea to make a lot of trouble."
The Vicomte returned the brief with a bitter smile. That king can do it. Even so, we have already built a town in the big forest. If there are more inhabitants there, they will be festivitated by the Vicomte.
Once I'm in possession, I can't marry my Jasmine sister and succeed Viscount Weissman. This means that the new Vicomte Weissman will no longer have a successor, and the new Vicomte Weissman will end up in a generation, even though he was so eager to build a house. That's a problem.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm not going to hide yet, so it's okay if I take the second boy born between you and Jasmine and take over the trail."
Does that mean you can have two or more children in the dark? Sure, that's one idea... but, uh, Christella looks a little grumpy. It's easy to understand. A daughter that is not suitable for nobility.
The aristocracy of this country is basically male inheritance. Girls can't inherit marks. Only if there are circumstances such as a child in wedlock being young and unable to carry out government duties, may he/she temporarily be named as the representative of the principal. In that case, you cannot succeed to the title.
In modern Japan, gender-free organizations are likely to protest with golden voices, but there are traditional aspects to this. That kind of system would mean that there are considerable reasons and historical backgrounds. I cannot be arrogant in denying history. Isn't it okay to change that kind of thing if you need to?
Well, the Vicomte is still young, and you can have another child. Or rather, it feels solid. We're good couples, and we'll be born naturally. Like a poop.
"Well, that's why I came to talk to you about work today. Not soon, but I think it will improve the situation in the town I just mentioned.
"Huh? I'm interested. Can I ask you something, Baron Face?
The Vicomte stepped forward. The face is not the "neighborhood uncle" just now, but the face of the "kingdom nobility". I guess I'm an adult.
Now, let's start the NAISEI (Laughter) phase. Let me make some money. I haven't even appointed a deputy yet.
