Legend
1,786 words.
The dinner party with the Dukes of Keller was successfully concluded.
With relief from that, Ray was falling asleep in bed.
"In the meantime, did you manage to break through the first gate?"
I think Elaine's first meeting with her parents went pretty well.
But that's just what Ray thinks, and we still don't know how it actually went.
Nevertheless, in view of how it was with the Duke of Kelevel and his wife Arcadia, there should have been no such thing as a great failure at all.
(In that respect, thank you Georgima)
Because I was fed dishes that made me want to get into things, and I didn't have to talk about getting into them with the Duke of Kelp because of it.
... It was more than just the most about Elaine, so I definitely needed to talk about getting into it, and it was only then that I was able to get some respite.
Ray understood that too, but all of a sudden the conversation goes that far in the first meeting, which is honestly what I wanted you to give me a break.
(In the meantime, there's nothing particularly to do for some days from tomorrow, so go and see how Seto looks...)
Annesis is my first place, and Elaine tells me that Yellow will be with me, but I still want to see her face.
While I thought of it that way... Ray eventually fell asleep because he couldn't resist the warmth of the bed and the sense of liberation that he had successfully completed a dinner party with Elaine's parents.
"What did you think?
By the time Ray fell asleep, the Duke of Kelevel was enjoying his couple's time drinking wine with his wife in the bedroom.
To her husband, who asks while eating dried meat - but a specialty made by Georgima - Arcadia places the glass she had in her hand on the table, enjoying the aroma of wine again.
"What? Is this about Ray?
"That's right. From what I saw in my eyes, it seemed like quite a man. In fact, I've done a lot of good things before."
"... but that's just as an adventurer, isn't it? I also collect a lot of information about him, but I don't think he's very suitable for nobility."
Arcadia, too, naturally gathered more information about Ray than it had to do with her beloved daughter.
I never revealed it in my conversation with Ray, but I knew about Ray's general background.
That's why a person named Ray has become famous all at once in the last few years.
Before that, I was supposed to train under a wizard living in the back of the mountain, but as Elaine's mother Arcadia, I can't even honestly believe that.
Though, it didn't even seem like the kind of person I could do such a ventriloquist, as I tried to talk to today.
Still, I'm pretty sure you can't believe it completely more than there's something suspicious about it.
"Right.... I was also collecting information about Ray. From that information, I first decided that it was impossible to do it as a nobleman. It's incredibly capable in battle."
As far as the matter of the war against the Bestian Empire is concerned, it is first class without complaint in the sense that we will take the lead in fighting as nobles...... no, we will have more strength than that.
Having an item box is undoubtedly also beneficial if you consider it a nobleman.
We use Griffon as an obedient demon, and it's also huge to be able to travel very quickly.
But... I didn't think I could do my job as a key nobleman.
Ray is best at moving in the form of being used by people only.
That was the certainty the Duke of Kelp gained when he talked to Ray.
Above all, it's that harsh personality that I don't think Ray should do as a nobleman. It can be said that it is lethal to do so as a nobleman to exercise his or her power relentlessly, even if he or she is a nobleman if he or she does not care.
Whatever you are an adventurer - although it is by no means possible for an adventurer to behave unconditionally and violently against a nobleman - it is a lethal act for an aristocrat to imitate such.
There are some aristocrats who garbage civilians, who think it's the only way to leave them alone, but there's no way anyone who leads the aristocracy can do that.
"For the aristocrats, we often go to war. But it's more about running and prospering the territory than that."
It was in a calm tone, but Arcadia tells him so with strong certainty.
In fact, Arcadia is not usually in Anesis because of the greater development of a territory called the Duke of Kelp.
As for the Duke of Kelp, it's true that I want my wife to be on my side if she can… It's also true that thanks to Arcadia, security in the Duke of Kelp has actually improved compared to before, and that there are more villages and cities that are developing with more merchants coming together.
As Duke of Kelevel, I couldn't stop my wife from acting, and I didn't intend to.
Beloved wife, the Duke of Kelp... No, Liberté Kelp is in the position of Duke of Kelp.
That is what Liberté's judgment determines the fate of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or more of us, and we need to take precedence over our position as public persons over private individuals.
If you are an aristocrat with out-of-target pride, what is it? It's not strange to say and behave as you please.
But with hatred... and fortunately, Liberté has a rare ethic as a nobleman, and that was also true of his wife Arcadia.
Because Liberté is such a character, I guess the aristocracy became a force until it was counted among the three main factions of the Kingdom of Mireana as a faction led by the Duke of Kelp.
If Liberté were now of such a character as to have out-of-target pride as a nobleman, there is no doubt that the Duke of Keller could not have such a force, even if it remained the Duke's.
"Right. … in that sense, Elaine may also be of such a magnitude as a nobleman"
"Phew, yeah"
Elaine, who is not interested in the class of the social world and who is looking for her own strength, was also to be described as heretical in terms of nobility.
If this had led to the presence of a sister or brother over Elaine, Elaine's attitude would have been praised and nothing would have allowed her to frown.
But now Elaine is the only one in the Duke of Kelp who draws authentic blood.
Originally, it would not have been surprising to have already helped Liberté work as the next Duke of Kelp, or to look around the Duke of Kelp with Arcadia, and to improve what could be done.
No, should I say it would be strange if I hadn't?
Or do you want to welcome my son-in-law's adopted son?
Elaine is already in her twenties, so as a nobleman, she is of no strange age to be married.
But... I don't think Elaine would be interested in that right now.
My daughter's competence is understood by both parents, but given her happiness, I don't think she can do it as a nobleman.
No, should I describe the size of Ningro Elaine's vessel as not fitting to the degree of nobility?
That is why Liberté ordered Elaine to inherit the demonic stone of the enchanted dragon.
To be honest, it was also true that there was the thought that perhaps the rite of inheritance would fail... but as a result the rite of inheritance was largely successful, however slightly problematic.
(Successor, huh? adoptions of the distant)
Liberté thinks in his head of those who seem capable of the house that leads him to the Duke of Kelevel.
But the hand of Liberté, thinking that way, was accidentally accompanied by Arcadia's hand.
"What's up?
"No, Ray would have said that, wouldn't he? If we're going to set Elaine free, we just need to have another child.... I think I'd rather have that adopted than badly. Don't you think?
Liberté quickly understood what his wife was demanding.
When I got up from the chair I was sitting in, I took my wife... to bed.
"Grrrrrrrr!"
"Cu? Cu, cu!
Seto and yellow squeal in the stables at night.
A good meal was served, and Seto and Yellow, who had eaten it until they were satisfied, were somewhat unwilling to sleep and were playing in the stables.
Fortunately, only two of these stables are currently Ceto and Yellow, so there's nothing like annoying other animals even when they play like this at night.
... In fact, putting Seto in the stables means that all the other animals, including the horses that were originally in this stables, were transferred to another stables... is accurate though.
Most of all, if it's a rigorously trained horse, there's no reason why a normal horse wouldn't be nervous in a place with Seto.
If we stayed together for some time, the horses would get used to it too...... I was sure we should have kept the stables separate from each other from the beginning than that.
Trained horses don't feel frightened with Seto, but they don't feel stressed.
In that sense, it can be said that those entrusted with the care of horses in the territory of the Duke of Kelevel made the best decision.
"Gru?"
"Cu! Cu! Cu!
And there are no other horses, and only two Seto and Yellow can freely use the stables.
Those entrusted with the treatment of horses had also removed the partition that was in the stables so that Seto could move freely, and now this stables itself felt like Seto's room or something.
It was the first time I dealt with Seto... Griffon to be exact, but Seto was nevertheless highly intelligent and sometimes he didn't imitate things like breaking out into darkness, and the move was accomplished safely without any particular disturbance.
Nevertheless, it is also an undoubted fact that many people are still afraid of the existence of Seto.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
"Cu! Cu, cu!
Seto and Yellow run around in the enlarged stables.
Naturally, there are no lights in the stables.
But if it was Seto and Yellow, I could look around the stables enough in the moonlight that it came in slightly, so there was no problem.
Only the stables of the House of the Duke of Keller, and the building is correspondingly large.
That was the only breadth where Seto and Yellow had no problem running around.
... If Seto really runs around, the size of the stables is definitely not enough, so it's only about the size of being able to run around to the point of playing with the yellow.
Did you like the act of running around in the dim, Seto and Yello happily chase each other in the stables?
Sometimes the yellow makes the ceto, and sometimes the ceto makes the yellow.
They were two people playing around like that... but inadvertently, I stop and look outside the stables where Seto was chasing the yellow.
A few seconds late, Yellow also turned his gaze to Seto's watcher.
Nevertheless, there is no color of hostility or vigilance in the two sights.
Because the signs outside the stables were the signs of those who knew both Seth and Yellow.
"Gru?"
"Cu!"
Go? Of course!
The two ringing so briefly head straight to the stables door.
I hurried so far, partly because it was a sign that I knew, but it would be caused by the scent drifting more than that.
I had a decent dinner, but that was hours ago, too.
Both Seto and Yellow were a little hungry, though not unbearable.
Especially now that I've been running around the stables and moving my body, I guess I can't help it either.
And then the door opens...
"Oops."
"Hey, Master Elaine!?
Elaine shouts her surprise at Seto and Yellow, who suddenly thrust toward her.
Arla, who was on Elaine's side, tried to shelter Elaine like that... before that Seto and Yello stopped on their feet.
"Phew, were Seto and Yellow that hungry? Ara."
To Elaine's words, Arla puts on the ground a dish with dishes she had in her hand, even with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face.
That dish is surplus to what was served at today's dinner party.
Originally, even if Georgima's cooking was superfluous, the other cooks would be competing to eat it for their studies… above all, to learn the art.
There is more or less of Seto and Yellow's share because Elaine told Georgima in advance.
Seto is Ray's partner, so tell him he's entitled to the same dish as Ray.
The meat made in the main was too laborious to prepare, but the other dishes were left properly.
"Maybe a little short, but forgive me"
To Elaine, who tells her so, Seto and Yello said to each of them, "Never mind."
