A few days have passed since I received my reward from Le Mail.

Currently, December 15th, it's the middle of summer. Lamberg is easy to spend in winter, but hot enough to dislike in summer. The cooler I had in my previous life wasn't in this world either, and I spent my days wondering if it wouldn't be in the fall.

"Dear Ars, I have received a letter from Master Le Maire"

The minister brought a letter.

I have predictions. Probably what you said before, about the party.

When I read the contents, the predictions were met.

They set a date for the party on December 30th and January 1st.

There is also a custom in this world to celebrate the new year. I guess we'll have a party to go with that. That sounds like a pretty fancy party to think about.

The place is Castel Perena.

By the way, the party says you can't attend anything but me. Well, I may not have a choice because I'm not supposed to be in a position to participate either.

I can't attend the party, but I'm going to Perena with my escort.

I'd like to get older with the Reeds if I could, but can't I help it this year?

It takes about three days for a horse to reach Perena.

I left the mansion five days ago on the morning of December 25th, just in case, and headed to Perena.

Now I can ride a horse by myself.

I also had a horse for myself, and this time I was riding that horse to Perena.

It's a redhead, smaller horse. Easy to handle with a big personality.

Horseback riding consumes more health than I thought, and this season is summer. I've never run off long distances with a horse.

By the time I got to Perena, I had become Hetohetto.

Arrived on December 29th. Arrive a little later than planned.

The town of Perena is a castle city, as is Canale. The scale is slightly larger than that of Canale. There is also a town outside the castle, just like Canale.

Take a quick break from the inn.

If I had arrived on the same day, I would have had to go out to the party in a pretty tired state, so I'm glad I could take a day off.

And around the evening of that day, December 30th, it was time for the party to begin.

Ask the Reeds to escort us to the front of the castle.

"Then I'm coming"

"Yes......"

I'm the only one who can attend the party this time. Leeds seems anxious to leave.

The escort is solid because it's like a party with clans coming to the boulders. There are also very many soldiers in front of the gate. You don't have to worry about getting attacked during a party.

I am unexpectedly disrespectful to myself at a party, and that is my anxiety.

I break up with the Reeds and enter the castle of Perena.

I was stopped by the gatekeeper at first, but this time when I entered the castle, I received the necessary bills along with the letter, so I was able to get in easily.

Castel Perena was an ancient castle, as was Castel Canale. The size appears to be slightly larger than Castle Canale.

As we approach the entrance to the castle through the gate, we begin to hear a noise called Zawazawa.

Could it have been delayed? I am in a hurry and hurry.

Once inside the castle, a large number of nobles were sitting in the chair and chatting.

It looks like the party hasn't started yet because the food hasn't been carried. I'm relieved.

When I entered the castle, some nobles had seen me with the look of what this kid was.

I guess the nobles who are here are almost more noble than me. I felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's Ars! There he is!

I heard a familiar voice.

When I saw those who heard voices, Le Maire was walking toward us.

Menace, who is always beside Le Maire, is not here today. I guess he hasn't been invited to the party either.

"It will be all the strangers to Ars, so briefly, but I will explain. First of all, the smaller man sitting over there is Perena County Chief Luke Dolan."

Le Mail said so, pointing to the little middle-aged man with the gray hair "Haha".

I have appraised Perena County Chief Luke.

Small body but high in leadership and martial arts. Politics is high there too, but knowledge is not very high.

Sure enough, he was just as good as my father.

He seems to be a capable man in the middle, so it would be great to skip talking about resources if he was on his side.

Le Mail will introduce the leading nobles one after the other.

When they became county-governed aristocrats on boulders, most of them had competent statuses compared to ordinary people. Sometimes I wondered if he was okay.

Nothing just had the ability to protrude. That's where I get a little worried.

"Hasn't Master Klan come yet?

"You will come, but you will not be in the venue now. They'll give a speech when the party's happening."

If you're gonna make a speech, you can do an appraisal then. I look forward to seeing who it is.

After finishing my introduction, I sat in the seat next to Le Maire's right. In the seat next to Le Maire's left, Le Maire's real wife sat.

It seems that the leading noblemen, their wives, their children, their brothers, etc. are at the party this time.

There are also a large number of people who have not yet appraised, so when I tried to appraise them, the sound sounded like I tapped a cymbal.

The nobles who were chatting quietly returned and stood up. I get up flushed around too.

The neighbor, Le Mail,

"We can come."

whispered.

The trick, the trick, and the silence, the footsteps approach.

The door behind the great hall opened.

A blonde comes in.

At the same time the nobles began to bow their heads, so I rush down too. I think that's the clan, but I couldn't really confirm it.

"Raise your face."

A low, majestic voice echoed.

I raise my head.

A blonde man in lavish clothes stood before the nobles with dignity. I'm about forties old.

There are multiple wounds in his face, and he is a well-born nobleman, but he can be asked how many battles he has dived through.

I quickly appraised the clan.

Clan Salemachia, 45. ”
