Lazy Dungeon Master

Second visit to the village of Drag (3)

"By the way, I need to talk to Lord Kama about one thing... okay?

... what the fuck. If it's any trouble, you can't do it.

Even so, I couldn't refuse Sid's invitation as a friend (diplomatically), and I came to the residence of the village chief of Drag. Oh, there are more pots (interiors).

Let me and Nik sit in a chair, each with their escorts behind them. And the maid at Sid's house gently served tea at the table.

"Thanks to that magic prop, you're going to be able to use it without worrying about water in the future."

"Hmm? Should we have had more water if we were to use it for domestic water?

"Enough. It was originally played with rainwater and waterproof magic props. It rains quite a bit around here - I wonder if this was common sense for Lord Kama, the village chief of Gorene."

That's right. It usually rains, too. The climate changes all the time on the other side of the mountain.

"So, what's the story? If it's a suspicious money story, I refuse it, okay?

"It's not a bad story. It should be a good story for Lord Kama."

"You say that, but it's hard to say that a guy who invites you to a bad story would honestly tell a bad story."

"Sure... uh, it's a money-making story, but it's not suspicious, is it?

Just talk to me.

I'm going to ask you, and when I urged him ahead, Sid nodded once and then started talking slowly.

"The point is, I want to make the connection between the Pavelas and Lord Caema strong."

"Wow. So you're talking about making my friendship with Sid stronger."

"Oh. I still think marriage is quick for that, what do you think"

"Hmm...... I mean, you want me to marry someone from the Pavela family?

"No - Oh, that's what I'm going to do, will it? Right."

Right. I mean, this is it. It's a way of trying to get along in marriage, as it was in the Zia family. I know because I'm familiar with it, a nobleman tries to stay on edge with a blood connection right away.

"You can't. I have Locco. I refuse."

"No. Not Lord Kama. Lord Cloine."

"Yeah?"

That's what Sid looks into Nik's eyes.

"Would you mind getting engaged to me?

Say it in a serious voice, Sid.

"... your husband"

"Stay, Sid. You're confused about Crowe. What kind of joke is that?

"I mean it!

He sheltered Nik, who had turned his gaze for help, but Sid pushed even further.

I closed my eyes a little and thought. Oh, I want to sleep like this. No? No, I can't. Speaking of which, the deputy village chief (Wozma) told me not to work. No more.

... Now, let's deal with this somehow, not to mention escaping reality.

"I mean, Crowe is engaged to Master Maiodor of Zia. I can't afford to be engaged to Lord Sid."

"What am I mistaken for, Lord Kama? You wouldn't have to dissolve Maiodor's engagement with Lord Crowe, would you?

"... Huh?

"The aristocrat has a second lady."

Second Lady. That's hua in both hands allowed by a man of extra merit.

However, if the First Lady and the Second Lady are not close, their husbands who are caught between them will be in trouble, and the training grounds, fire sass, and other troublesome things have already been agreed upon.

And it's a hassle to bear a inheritance or to have a legacy, well, it's a hassle to have and hassle to have!

"No, no, no, no. The Second Lady won't do it."

"But wouldn't it be a good story for me, Lord Cloinu and Myodore to come together beautifully?

"I don't know which is the right wife to rub... isn't it"

"Oh, that would be obvious at first glance, wouldn't it?

If it's Nik the slave and Maiodor the lord aristocrat, then Maiodor is obviously the First Lady, right?

"But you don't have the advantage of marrying me that way."

"I hear from Lord Bonodore that Lord Cloinu is the son of Lord Kama. I mean, if Lord Cloinu and I become husband and wife, Lord Kama is my father-in-law. Let us also promise our father, Lord Pavela, our generous support."

Sid retrieves a contract that already seems to be signed by Lord Pavela, saying you can leave anything on the contract.

"Hey, is that real?

"It's real. I, Sid Pavela, guarantee it."

"Even so, there's no one here right now who can judge that..."

If it's also a strawberry, I might have figured something out, but no, this is the only place I can ask Wozma, who originally worked at Mr. Haku's castle...

"It's a little rude"

"Hmm? What's up, Shikina... whoa?

Shikina, who had refrained behind him, looks at the contract once more. And with his hands, he chants magic: "Tell me who wrote his name in the covenant - [Signature]".... The name "Sola Pavera" glowed white.

"... yeah, this is definitely the signature of Lord Pavela, Sola Pavela"

"What's that?

"It's contract magic to confirm signatures. It's like the magic of life for a nobleman."

Holy shit. Can you magically guarantee this world, signatures and stuff too?

Wouldn't this be a counterfeit signature or something? Or maybe some magic to forge. Deceptive of the appraisal.

"... No, Shikina was an aristocrat."

"That's right, isn't it? It's quite famous when it comes to the Cuccolo family."

"Is Mr. Dyne Cuccolo a Tamer called King of the Beast or something...?

"I'm a proud father. All the more than you can see!

Even now, it's confusing with the same name as our village merchant. No, the village Dyne seems to have a better name for Shikina's father, Dyne Cuccolo.

If I thought so, Sid stood out of his chair and bowed his head to Shikina.

"... Lord Shikina or something? I'm sorry I didn't realize you were the Cuccolo's maid."

"Never mind, Lord Sid. Because I'm escorting you like this."

"Let me get you a seat, if you like?

"No, Lord Sid, because I am now a master - an escort to Lord Kama. Now that I've pinched my mouth... my master was in trouble, so it's just a favor"

That's what I'm saying. Sikina standing behind me again.

Sid regained his mind and put down three more signed contracts. The contents are the same.

"I have four identical pieces available for submission to Lord Kama, the Pavela family, and the Zia family and guild as well. Because of the unclear contents, my father forced me to go through a little. He wrote it as soon as he said it was the best way to connect us with Lord Kama."

Ask Shikina to use [Signature] once and confirm. It all proved to be real signatures.

... after doing something extra.

But I still can't.

I read the body of the contract, but it was easy to understand without any aristocratic rhetoric that something like simply 'If you marry me, I will support both villages in the villages of Gorene and Drag'. Other than marriage, it was almost unconditional. It was the content of the momentum that would do anything to 'support it for the village of Gorene'. Do you really think I should sign these papers, Lord Pavela?

... but I'm not willing to let Nik be the Second Lady. Except if he wants it.

"Why? I don't know what to say myself, but I think your face is neat, and your head spins and your reputation is good. It is blurred in front of Lord Kama, but it is also called a prodigy.... If I'm in the opposite position, I think I'll take it very soon."

"... I don't admit I'm not the kind husband who takes care of me as First Lady"

When I said that, Sid tilted his neck smaller.

But the prodigy quickly thought of it, not Dada, and slapped his hand with a pong.

"You must be mistaken, Lord Kama."

"... eh"

Sid laughs niggly just saying he took one and takes out the magic pills.

It was a gender inversion drug called 'Tae A (Ace)'.

"Whatever, I'm the Second Lady, my stepfather."

... Sid, are you insane?
