Price of Management

The day before the wedding.

From all over, guests started to gather.

The neighboring lords, of course, did not include the birthdays of Petram and Molz, who were defeated by us in the territorial war.

The nearby lords of the Duke of Hoodini gather to celebrate.

They packed a bag of gifts together, and even in the recession, they delighted us by showing expensive gifts because they were face to face.

Thanks to this, my father was unable to practice his favorite sword and had to greet a guest. I didn't have to say Arthur, who was the wedding party.

Is it me?

I didn't want to entertain anyone.

I'm a bastard.

...... I ran away from annoying guests with an excuse to be a bastard. The bastard has a tradition of not being accepted as a member of the family.

Thanks to this, Father and Brother Arthur blamed me for avoiding annoying work alone.

But soon after, I too had to be called to the mansion. The guests were all looking for me.

“Why are you looking for me? ”

The reason was soon discovered.

The lords who visited the mansion as guests told me.

“I heard it was the baron who made the statue of Lord Kunt out there. I hope you'll visit us anytime and make a statue like me. ”

“So is our territory. I will pay you handsomely. ”

“Can I have 1,000 Redinas? I hope my family will have a statue that expresses my gracefulness. ”

Everyone was impressed by the statue I made of my father.

Everyone has summoned from 500 to 1,000.

Gosh, I could make more than 10,000 Redinas in half a year if I just made a statue while walking around.

But I politely refused.

“Sorry, I don't want to use spirits to make money. ”

“Mmmm!”

“Of course, the spirits are always like that. ”

It was understandable that everyone knew common sense about Spirit History. I soothed those who mourned.

“If you have any business visiting your territory, I will accept the quest. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Whatever the excuse, I must invite you. ”

“Hahaha!”

A smile burst out among the guests. It's good to be able to maintain a friendly atmosphere.

Anyway, I felt happy because the statue made by Norm was well received. I knew our gnomes were witty.

I wanted to hug her and lie down right now, but I couldn't stand the sight of her.

I need to know how to control myself a little bit.

Even though gnome and undee are cute and adorable, you have to know when and where to hide.

A splendid wagon led by six white horses was escorted by knights.

After that, there were about 50 cavalry members. Their armor was engraved with the words of the author Houdini.

In the wagon, Bird of Hoodini and his fifth daughter Leyra were talking.

“You're finally leaving my side. ”

The writer said with a hesitant face.

He had five daughters for one son.

The older son was already in his mid-30s, so he was helping him manage the land.

It was only Houdini who lived to see his loving and cute daughters. For some reason, every time I married my daughters, I felt like my skin was falling off.

Now that I'm marrying my last daughter Leira, I feel sad and empty even though I should be happy that she's married well.

“Father... ”

Knowing that heart, Leyra soon turned into a face that would burst into tears. The prince smiled and talked to his daughter.

“Don't worry. Abby's fine. If you really want to see her, I'll go to Kunt Street with this excuse. Be ready. They're gonna beg you to stop coming because you're such a pain in the ass. ”

“Hohoho!”

Leyra grins, covering her mouth.

After blooming the tale of Dorado, I arrived at Kunt Castle.

A few minutes after entering the castle, you can see the mansion of the writer Kunt.

At the front door of the mansion....

“Oh my!”

“Oh!”

Bird Reynald Houdini couldn't help but wonder.

It was because the statue of a loving man and woman was decorated on the front door. Among them, the woman was exactly the same as Leira. Then the man was Arthur Kunt.

“What a remarkable feat. What kind of sculptor can make a sculpture like that? ”

“That must be the Grand Duke, right? ”

“Yes. Don't you know what he looks like? ”

“Yes……. ”

“Haha, the statue, but it feels good to see you two lovingly holding hands. I'm sure the Grand Duke will love you very much. ”

Leyra blushes.

Seeing the statue that looked so sweet, I felt like I would be a really happy couple. It was a great idea to place the statue at the front door.

When I checked my identity and walked inside, I noticed a huge statue, about five meters in size.

Leyra gives you the creeps when she sees the statue. Her mouth snaps open.

“That, that, no, that will be my father-in-law……. ”

“I see. It's really scary... No, it looks stunning. ”

It was natural for me to be overwhelmed because there was a statue that looked like it was going to decay with a sword at once.

Bard Houdini mutters.

“I have to find out who the sculptor is. We should build one of those in our own house. ”

Much appreciated for collecting monster stuffed animals, The Houdini was extremely envious of the 5-metre statue of Bird of Basque Kunt.

The two of them jogged on horseback.

One was a young man in his mid-20s, and the other a man in his early 40s.

The young man with dark brown hair had a normal height and a nice figure, but the muscles on his arms and legs were as elastic as rubber, and he was like a tight-ass leopard. Shining eyes made a bright and cheerful impression.

The older man, on the other hand, was the owner of a solemn and rigid expression. He was about the same height as a young man, but he was even taller and harder.

The strange thing was that there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead and he was able to breathe even though he was racing on horseback.

But the words were not so.

The two horses were drooling and running hard. The young man's pace slowed down to see if he had worn out first.

As he began to fall behind, the young man shouted in haste.

“Master! Take your time, will you? ”

“Too late.”

The strict old man insisted on being short and resolute.

“What if it's a little late? My congratulations to you after the wedding. I will.”

“Suit yourself. ”

Instead, he was a speeding teacher.

The hot young man hurriedly encouraged the horse to catch up. The horse screamed.

“How can a teacher say that? ”

“The difference between horseback riding. ”

“Yes? What's wrong with my riding? ”

“Horses and swords are the same. Feel your opponent with all your senses. Identify and empathize with every muscle movement. ”

The young man realized that it was a key word to progress toward the rigorous hardship of the sword.

“If I knew how to do that, would you be the master? ”

“Can't you? You're pathetic. ”

“Oh, shit! You'll see when I'm the master! ”

The young man grumbled, but tried to understand the movement of the horse as the teacher said.

The old man smiled as he glanced at his disciple.

He had many disciples, but the young man was his favorite. Impossible is also because you are the most eager to do it.

After a long run, I reached Kunt Castle. As I walked through the gates, I asked the soldiers that the wedding would begin in the afternoon.

“Phew, it's not too late. ”

“Good for you.”

The two of them got off the horse and walked slowly. He cared about words that seemed to be going down soon.

After a long walk, you can see the front door of the Kunt writer's mansion.

At the front door was a statue of a man and a woman who were lovingly holding hands.

“Wow! It's exactly the same! Who made this? He must be a master of sculpture. ”

The young man was greatly impressed by the statue.

The old man looked at the statue as if it were interesting.

“Your brother's good. ”

“Yes? Really? ”

“Poor bastard. ”

“Mr. Wooey! ”

The young man was angry when he heard that he was also pathetic, but he looked closely at the statue because he knew that the teacher didn't say anything bad.

“Ah!”

It was only then that I realized the meaning of the young master.

There are no artificial marks on the carved grain. Even if the master of error had sheared it with a strong Qi, it wouldn't be this bad.

It seemed as if the rock had become naturally weathered over time.

“I see! The spirit of the earth is the only one who can do this." ”

“Find out sooner next time. ”

“Tsk, yeah. ”

As you try to get inside, the guards stand in the way of the gate and ask.

“Excuse me, but I'd appreciate it if you could identify yourself. ”

“Huh? Don't I know you? ”

The young man said, the soldier tilted his head.

“Well, it's been a long time. ”

The young man scratched his head and said.

“I'm Rick Kunt. ”

“Rick Kunt... Ah! Lee Gong-ja!”

“Yes, I'm here with my teacher. ”

“Yes, go inside! I will inform the Lord. ”

“Yes."

The young man and the old man went in together.

When I stepped inside, I saw this huge statue, 5 meters tall.

“Eek?! ”

Rick pulls the long sword from his waist, startled.

It's because his father, who is 5 meters tall, was told to cut his throat with a long sword.

I was not surprised that appearances were too realistic.

The movement of swinging the sword is so practical that it feels like life itself.

“This is Caroc himself! Wow, that's amazing. When did he become a spirit? ”

“Interesting.”

The old man nodded, looking at the statue.

“This statue gives me an idea of the hardship of the Kunt Bird. ”

“Really?"

Rick rolls his eyes.

How do you know your father's status by looking at his statue?

The old man says something to Rick that he doesn't understand.

“You're pathetic. ”

“Oh, my God! ”

He's furious, but Rick studies the statue more carefully than he does. How did the teacher understand his father's progress from this?

I'm not standing on my sword. I'm counting on my forehead. It doesn't even say, "I'm Excellency Expert for Coming."

The old man said again.

“Horseback riding.”

“Ahh!”

Rick notices.

He asked me to understand and empathize with every muscle movement.

The teacher saw the details of the muscles and movements that were the same as the statue, and understood his status.

It means that the statue is realistic.

“What's more interesting is your brother. If a spirit has performed this level of finesse, it means that your brother's spirituality is also quite significant. ”

“Hey, I'm going to have a fight. ”

Rick licks his lips with his tongue.

* * *

The soldier who went to announce the arrival of the Monkey King Rick Kunt stopped at a moment's thought.

“Huh? The master of Rick Kunt? ”

Soon the soldier's complexion turned pale.

The soldier sprints.

“Oh, the master of error! Duke Krail Mutt is here! ”
