Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

"I finally see it"

At the end of Yusuke's gaze flying through the sky, I saw Ellis's house.

There can't be a big change in a month, it's the same look as when you go out.

I'm lowering altitude trying to get down in front of the house. But before he landed, he was held back by an invisible wall and hit him in the face and fell to the ground.

"There you go."

Sasuke rises as he rubs the spot where he hit him. Show no sturdiness and no injuries. I'm just saying it hurts.

"What?"

Stick your hand forward and you're inhibited by something, and you can't stick it forward any further.

The feeling I touched was a rough, crisp, cold, or warm wall. I can tell from the sound and vibration when I tap it gently that it looks like a thick wall. It also looked transparent and seemed like a thick glass wall.

When I tried and hit him, I heard a squeaky noise.

"I might crack it if I hit you as much as I want. No, I'm not doing that."

Kosuke can easily guess why Ellis is using something like this. Breaking this will only be detrimental to Ellis, and I'm not going to break it because I'm going to be pissed off.

"Does this mean you're away?

It bothers my mind what to do if I'm away. It didn't even come up with a good idea, and I decided to try to act as I could think of it.

In the meantime, curiosity arose as to what form the junction might take, to find out.

The investigation was completed in about thirty minutes after moving in contact with Petapetta. The shape was cubic. There are no gaps or anything like that, and I'm not going to be able to get in from anywhere.

At the end of that investigation, he peered inside the house from various angles and found that no one was home.

"What shall we do?"

I don't expect to come back if I wait, but I think I'll go to Rickart, which seems to be nearby. I have enough money, so I can afford about a ten-day stay.

"Wait till the sun leans, and if you don't come back, we'll go to the city."

Kosuke, who decided on the policy, puts his luggage away. I pulled out my sword in an effort to secure even the material for the fence surrounding the field because I was free.

The repaired sword is back to normal except for the fine scratches.

"Speaking of which, I told you to be aware of slashing"

When I slash, I squeal, and head to a nearby tree.

The use of the knife comes to mind in Yusuke's head. Slash the ingredients while pulling the blade. I'm going to slash the tree just like that.

After a gentle bare gesture, stand in front of the tree.

"Slash."

As I said, I swung my sword away, looking near the root of the tree.

The tree slowly falls. I could have slashed him down in one swing brilliantly. But the result is the same even if I slap it as it is, so I don't really know if I have the desired slaughter.

I lean my neck wondering if I was glad of that, and carry the fallen tree with a little responsibility. Yes, I can't try and kill many of them. You don't need to slash down a bunch of them, and it's visible that Ellis would be pissed off if you slaughtered them too much.

It transports the trees to near the junction, pays the branches and turns them into marutai. After putting together the branches I paid for, I'm going to slash Marutai.

When I was pointing the tip of the wood I slashed for the pile, there was a shadow on hand and I could speak.

"Welcome back"

Ellis was floating in the air as he moved his gaze in the direction of his voice.

"Uh, I'm home. And welcome back."

"I'm home. What have you been up to?

"I was building materials for the fence that surrounded the field. I slashed down a tree. I might slash down another bottle or so, okay?

"I don't mind. But why would you want to build a field? Did you have any memories of your field work in the city?

"No, I thought I'd float the food bill a little bit because I'm living here."

"You don't need to worry about money, do you? Because I have enough to rot. Well, you'll be able to eat something fresh, so I won't stop you. Feel free to make good vegetables.

But I'm about two months late to build a field. "

"Out of my way?

"I'm going to ask Rickart to come with me."

Ellis untouches the junction.

Yusuke follows Ellis into the house when he says he's going to leave his stuff.

"You don't need to take a shovel or anything like that. Anything you take, you can change your underwear or something and money or so."

"Ah, money"

Kosuke takes the money he earned from his luggage and gives it to Ellis.

"Yes, the money I owed you"

Having confirmed the money received, Ellis returns it to Kosuke.

"Eh?

"Exams don't pass. Enough to live in the city. As a reward, let's give it to the Lord."

"Are you sure?

"Like I said, money is rotten. Even if I don't return the money I gave you, including the money for the sword, my nostrils don't hurt at all.

I took the form of a loan because I thought it would be more tempting. "

"I really liked the way you lent it."

I'll give you the cost of living. Earn the specified amount. Yusuke thinks it would have been more relaxing if they had said that. The word debt motivated me.

Convinced by the reason for the loan, Kosuke returns to the room he is being given for now, packs his bags as he is told, and returns to the living room with what he is told is necessary.

"I'm ready. But before we go out, I'd like to know what's going on."

"Hmm. I have no objection to talking. Sit in the chair."

After Kosuke sits down, Ellis opens his mouth.

"Taking Koske to the city also has to do with the lack of horns.

Horn is now at home and unable to go out. I'm not hurt. "

Hearing that he could not go out, he added to reassure Yusuke that he had changed his expression.

"My father forbids me to go out.

Horn went home just to show his face, but his father was going to use Horn as a tool of politics. It's not called a political marriage. Well, suddenly I can't even get married. Is this a pageant with a candidate or something? It's not the horn that chooses, it's the father. "

There are many aristocrats who want a horn. It's fascinating to be able to connect with the Counts by getting married. Horn's own position as a medical practitioner and his connections to his strengths and aspects are also attractive to the nobles.

Others seek horns for good luck. That should not be overshadowed, because by surviving the fate of death, it was thought that we were blessed with something to jump death or doom. And by welcoming him as my wife, I hope he will survive the house.

It is the purpose of this pageant to choose from among the aristocrats gathered who are in the best interest of Horn's father.

"Marriage. What's Horn saying?

It's hard to react because it's not familiar to be called a political marriage, and yes, I can only hammer it enough.

"He doesn't seem to care about it. But I'm sure it doesn't matter what Horn wants to do to Ratel."

"What is Ratel, Horn's father?

Ellis nods with a smile on her face.

"Doesn't it matter what the will of the person is, doesn't that make the marriage work?

"I thought you said political marriage. If you have connections to other houses and both houses have a profit, that's fine. The parties are second to none.

Besides, noble, less romantic marriages?

"I wasn't around for nobility or anything, so I'm not sure."

Ellis flushes lightly if she knows it's like that. Because the point of the conversation is not the inner affairs of the nobility.

"Let's get this story back to normal, shall we?

I'm taking Koske because I want Horn's bodyguard. If Yusuke is around, I'm free to move. "

"You don't have a bodyguard on your horn?

"Follow me, but they're not the ones who move with the will of a latel. It also combines the surveillance of horns who are not in the mood for this pageant.

Surrounded by such people, their breath is stuck. So I put Koske on the horn as a breathing officer. That's not the only role. "

"What else should I do?

"Get help when you escape from the mansion"

"... isn't that going to matter?

"If you actually escape, you'll be important."

Nod loudly and admit it.

"I don't like to arrange nominations or anything, I am!?

"When you take action, you can rest assured that you are ready. I also get disguised when I go into the mansion. You will never know who your Lord is.

I didn't even decide to get away with it. Horn will be able to exit the mansion with dignity once negotiations have been concluded with the Ratel. "

"Negotiate?"

"You're fine with me and Horn only. Your Lord only needs to encourage Horn's security."

"By the way, what kind of bargaining material is that?

Tell Yusuke to keep it a secret.

"Ratel holds a high position as a diplomat. I owe it to Horn.

You've already told me that Horn is a good doctor, haven't you? He was expected to come from all over the continent to see me. That check-up opponent has so much money and power that he can summon horns from afar. Latel followed the examination and used his knowledge at that time to build his position as a diplomat.

It was thanks to high retail bargaining power that made the thin connection thick and durable, but it was originally thanks to the horn that we were able to negotiate. The other person understands that too. So if a gracious horn asks, sometimes a horn takes precedence over a latel. Even if that favor is against the latel.

You should advise the label about that. "

"I mean, you're a threat."

"Ho ho ho. Negotiations that suggest an uneasy future."

"But horns do things against their own homes?

"I'm not asking you to crush the house, and I'm not willing to let you.

But as long as the status of the ratel drops slightly, it doesn't mean the house will crumble. After that, you can't ignore Horn's argument if you ask the other party to refuse to make a connection at the visit in the future.

Well, I didn't mean to threaten you from the start. "

If I have to, I'm going to use Ellis' own connections to put pressure on him.

I've done this so far, but Ellis doesn't hate latel. I don't even like it. It would be better if you weren't interested.

Then why bother, because Ellis doesn't like selfish parents who don't think about their children. It is attributed to the fact that Ellis herself was an abandoned child and that her life in the orphanage was also painful.

When I was younger, I had hatred for the existence of a parent. I've lived a long time now. I understand that some parents do.

Not letting Bordos call himself my mother also has something to do with parental dislike.

"If it's for Horn, I won't say anything"

"You don't know if it would be good for Horn. There is no chance that it would be better to stay married.

But Horn is still unwilling to marry. Then I respect that will. "

"Horn takes care of me, and I have no objection to moving in that direction."

I heard what you were asking, so they leave the house.

Ellis, once again bound, summons Yusuke nearby and enchants him.

"What kind of magic do you use, a little high?

I realize that my voice, which I put out to ask Ellis about the magical effects, is higher than the ground voice.

"I used two. The magic of illusion and the magic of voice change."

Yusuke had somehow predicted what she looked like. And the anticipation is met.

Now Kosuke looks like a woman. Around fifteen years old. The hair is bob-cut to the shoulder and the color is black. The height has shrunk slightly and the lines of the body have become thinner. The eyes are large, the smaller nose is a bit, and the plump thin pink lips. Ask ten people and eight people will say they are cute.

Only the eyes are out of the ordinary people, the right eye is the original color black, and the left eye is blue. I'm not making it odd-eyed without meaning, there's a way it's decent.

I don't have a mirror, so I don't know that's what Kosuke looks like.

Why Ellis chose to look like this, because she knows that beauty gains. Even if the behavior is somewhat suspicious, I know that there are people who will receive eye care if the beauty behaves.

That's why this change is to mislead the suspicion a little bit.

"This is the disguise?

"Don't worry, you're even deluded by your gender? And when it comes to skinship, even if it's touched, it's a delusion."

Yusuke touched his arms and chest and realized Ellis was right. By the way, I wasn't even a little happy rubbing my own chest.

"Don't they run out of magic or notice you're using magic?

"You can call it back yourself every time it expires. The effect expires in about four hours.

I can't believe you're using magic. But if you use it to seal the Devil's Eye, it's deceptive. "

"Eye of the Devil?

What I did to Oddeye here goes on.

Demonic eyes are one of the gifts, including moving eyes that allow you to see the movement of things slowly, far-sighted eyes that allow you to see the distant things clearly, and appraisal eyes that discern authenticity.

Whoever owns the Devil's Eye, without exception, is an odd-eye. And to seal the power of the demonic eye, it is not uncommon to use tools with magic or magical effects. I can turn it on and off myself, but sometimes it switches to a little clap, and many use magic and tools to prevent such accidents.

"I see. So what's the demon eye setup I'm supposed to have?

"Let it be with the moving eye. We can do something similar."

I'm not even going to go to show off my demonic eye, so I don't need a fine setting.

The two use flying magic and fly to Rickert.

When we got to the city, the sun was setting.

Ellis takes the lead in walking through a city stained with dusk. Upon arrival is a fine, luxurious inn.

Ellis receives the key for Kosuke at the reception. I took the next room to myself beforehand.

"This is the key to Koske's room. This will be the base for a while, so remember where we are."

Copy that.

The Inn system is often the same as Sidi's. Speaking of things differently, Koske and the others have baths in their rooms, and they bring meals to their rooms. I can get the laundry done the same way, but this time I have to do it myself to make sure I can't get rid of who I am.

Yusuke puts her luggage in her room before entering Ellis's room.

There seems to be someone who wants me to meet him, and he means to wait with him in Ellis's room, but he still doesn't show up, so I'm going to talk about this past month in my spare time.

Dinner was also carried while we were talking.

"I would have made it easier if I had asked for a more thoughtful job."

"Safety first"

"Instead of that, you're not even lethargic enough to fight a violet valve."

"You can't choose to abandon me in that situation."

"Maybe so.

But I didn't expect to pull through the violet valve. I've never heard of such a way. That's not the way to do it. "

"Normally, how do you take them down?

"Magic or poison. Aim with the magic of the penetration system. Raise heat in the ground and smoke it out. Scratch the roots, send the herbicides from there into the body and kill them over time.

I told Koske I couldn't take them down because I didn't teach them. "

Here the room is knocked.

When Ellis opened the door, an employee stood.

"Excuse me. I'd prefer to see Master Eliseer. May I let you through?

"Is it the old woman who's coming?

"Yes."

"Then you can let me through."

The employee who heard the reply praised him and left.

Five minutes later, an old woman, guided by an employee and feeling calm, entered the room Ellis was taking. Where did the old woman resemble Yusuke in disguise from?

"Koske, I'll introduce you, this is Grecis, the caregiver of Horn. Ask Koske to enter the mansion tomorrow as Grecis' grandson"

Grecis has no granddaughters but no grandsons. The Latelles know that. That's why I have to go undercover dressed as a woman.

"Uh, nice to meet you. I'm Yusuke Wakase."

Grecis also bows back to Yusuke, who bowed his head.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Grecis Norman. I'm sorry I got into trouble."

"Grecis has been looking after Horn since he was a baby, and he thinks he cares about Horn like his own daughter.

So I respect Horn's will more than my employer, Ratel, and this time he's willing to cooperate with me "

"It's only natural for a lady to cooperate because she doesn't want to get married."

It's natural to say that, making me think it's really horn first.

"May I ask why you're going to the Mansion as Mr. Grecis' grandson?

Doesn't that mean you've come to work on Mr. Grecis or Ellis' introduction?

"Now Ellis' family is not the only one in the mansion, there are others in the house. It's hard to send unidentified people to places like that.

That's why I thought about setting up a granddaughter to assist Grecis, who struggles to get old and work.

Grecis has earned credibility by working for the Mansion for many years without any problems. Grecis' grandson would be fine, and he just has the credibility to do a little pre-investigation. "

Grecis hasn't given a willingness to oppose Horn's marriage, so far, he hasn't even been suspicious of the Ratel.

"Lady Ratel has already given me permission. It's also true that work has been getting harder lately."

"Starting tomorrow, for the time being, Koske will treat Grecis as his grandmother and his name will also be Uis.

Don't get me wrong. "

"I'll try."

It's the first time I've acted. I'm nervous right now. I've never played a role in an elementary school scholarship either.

See how it goes. Grecis smiles to relieve tension.

"You don't have to be that nervous. Nobody in the mansion knows about Yuis, so you don't have to look like Yuis to get suspicious.

I just need to be aware of name mistakes, be polite about how you talk, and not make your behavior rough. The work is also mostly done by being near the lady, other than housework and cleaning the garden. Isn't that easy?

"... then I guess I can handle it"

When she heard what was to be done at the mansion, Yusuke felt a little loaded on her shoulders.

"Speaking of which, does my face look like your grandson's now?

"You don't look alike at all. She looks better too, but not as good as you are now."

The real euis is not Grecis' lineage, but the face of the other lineage.

After I heard something I somehow questioned, I asked about Grecis' family so that I could answer the aggressive question. You won't care about the servant's family association in detail, just in case.

After about an hour of discussion, Grecis went back to the mansion to let Horn know that Koske was going to the mansion tomorrow.

After Grecis returns, Kosuke is taught the magic necessary for the disguise. And ask Ellis to de-effect it and see if there's anything strange going on with her own this time.

I made some fine adjustments twice and got OK and went back to my room.

I'm supposed to be at the mansion around 8: 00 tomorrow. The directions are given by Ellis, so Yusuke should only be careful with the sleepers.

The next day, Yusuke stood in front of the mansion without ever sleeping. Of course it's properly disguised. She is wearing a woman who was also given clothes. I guess I can't help but worry about skirts I'm unfamiliar with.

Ellis is talking to the gatekeeper to get Grecis. Ellis alone can get in by facepath, but since there is also Kosuke this time, they must get permission to speak to Ellis.

Kosuke in his spare time looks at the house he is building in front of him. It's the biggest mansion I've ever seen in this world. The garden is also large enough for many of those houses to enter.

The main building is three floors long, with windows glazed. I see a little shadow over the glass. There are two separate buildings, which are slightly larger than the average house. Three gardeners tend the trees and grass flowers in the garden. Others take care of horses.

Looking at those landscapes blurred, Grecis came out of one of the buildings in the separate building. Having come to the gate over time, Grecis testified that Yusuke was his own grandson, and Yusuke was able to enter the premises.

I actually went inside and Kosuke realized the breadth.

"Now the lady lives away."

Grecis answers the question after reading Kosuke's expression on his face that he would not head to the main building.

"You didn't put it in your mouth, but you knew exactly what you wanted to hear?

"I was looking at the main building with a strange face, and anyone can tell."

Hold your face to Ellis' words.

"Have you changed your expression that far?

Grecis just cares or smiles and doesn't answer. But there is an interesting atmosphere and it seems to affirm Yusuke's words.

"It's why the lady doesn't live in the main building, but it's for security.

Some aristocrats are visiting the main building. I asked them to move out of the main building so the ladies wouldn't crawl at night.

It was originally for the lady, so there was no inconvenience in moving around. "

"Do you crawl at night?

"Some idiots think that if you make a fait accompli, everything will work out, even if you don't do anything as good as a pageant. As a matter of fact, they're about to leave the premises."

We arrive away as we speak.

I greeted lightly the personal soldiers of the Ratel standing for security and when I went inside, the maids were in the process of cleaning the entrance hall. With two redheads, a shortcut and a long white one, the redhead maid looks a little older.

"Merrill, Serena. Will you come over here?

Grecis calls on the two maids.

Grecis introduces Kosuke to the two people who have come close.

"As I was telling you, starting today, this kid will be my assistant here. It's not that long, but please keep him company.

Here, introduce yourself. "

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yuis. I know there are some unfamiliar environments, but thank you for your best efforts."

"I'm Merrill. Greetings."

"I'm Serena. Nice to meet you."

Keeping in mind that Yusuke is nervous, they introduce themselves lightly.

I'd rather call myself Merrill, and I look older than twenty. Serena has white hair, and this one is about seventeen.

"Then please go back to cleaning. I'll teach this kid a lot of work later, please."

"I'll take care of it"

"I'll teach you how to handle it carefully."

Merrill and the others greet each other, and Serena waves back to work with Kosuke.

"Good boys, I'm helping too.

Come on, I'll follow you to the lady's room. "

Go up the stairs that were visible on your left hand side and knock into the room in the back right before entering. Inside is a study, with shelves lined with bookshelves and appliances, with tables and chairs at the edges that seem comfortable to sit on. Horn sits in that chair and reads a book.

"Ma'am, I've guided Lady Ellis and Yuis"

I don't know where or who is listening, so I'm starting to call Yusuke on the property Yusuke.

Horn puts the book he was reading on the table and gets up.

"You're Mr. Grecis' grandson, aren't you? I've been really looking after Mr. Gressis since he was a little girl. Best regards,"

I approach him as he talks, and take Kosuke's hand. And I whispered to you to go home small.

Yusuke nods small at it and greets it as Yusuke.

"You don't have to worry about your surroundings anymore. No one's lurking."

I use magic and give permission that Ellis, who has finished exploring the area, is distracted and okay.

"Thank you, Ellis.

Again, welcome home, Koske. "

"I'm home. Something's bothering you."

"I think Ellis is gonna be fine because she's gonna make a move."

"I'm going to crush the pageant, is that all right with you as a horn?

"If you're an ordinary nobleman, you think that political marriage is an obligation imposed on you.

But I think my role as a nobleman is over. An obligation that had been imposed on me to sacrifice. Now that I've done that, I don't think there's a problem living freely.

I'm sure you think so because you're not perfectly educated as an aristocrat. "

This pageant is like good luck sprung up for Ratel, and there's no big deal to lose if we stop talking about it. If the conversation goes on until the marriage and we're broke, we can still delude ourselves that if we match, we didn't have a good match. It's less painful for a latel to be able to crush a story before it becomes an engagement.

So I have no objection to the fact that a pageant will crush Horn, who is still unwilling to marry him.

"Ma'am, it's time to get Mr. Koske to the two downstairs."

"I wonder if they'll suspect it's too late.

Koske, we'll talk about this later, won't we? Looking forward to hearing what you've done in the city. "

Leave a horn to go back to reading again and all leave the room.

"Then follow the instructions of those two."

Kosuke nodded and approached the maids who were cleaning.

Ellis and Grecis headed to the main building to meet Raether in order to inform her of the arrival of Kosuke.
