Stranger’s Handbook

169 Doesn't end in a peaceful routine

"... that's what we're going to do today. So take your time."

Finish listening to Su's reading schedule and sip the sweet-scented tea

There has been a very peaceful routine since nightmarish events on the day we returned to the territory

I leaked it that day when I went back to the museum and went back to my private room.

Beat was staring at the pink diamond in the dark room with no expression... it's a light trauma

I want you to spare me the beauty's faceless expression.

"It's going to be an easy day. Every day like this will help."

"You've been at peace lately. Sir Marie has been very dear ever since."

"Sir Marie... hehe, he's become a nobleman too"

Sir Marie changed his name.

If she turns out to be a different world, she'll be targeted.

That's why it was a procedure, but he surprisingly likes it, too.

"They said those old men have arrived too... now you're getting a little more grown up"

"Oh, that's him. You looked like a real family."

That Japanese man and his wife we met in the diocese before.

He was ill and late for arrival.

Don't feel more at ease if you put on surveillance of your close grandparents.

"That's all the threats I made... I think I'll be fine because I educated you."

"But you should thank your husband. Normally, you can't complain about being slashed."

"All of a sudden I'm looking for common sense in this world... although it might have been a sweet response because I'm the same Japanese"

"My husband is kind to me. But if it's a place with eyes, it's a different story. I'll take care of it."

"... fine, I'll do it. I'm not gonna push you to do that, am I?

I guess that means it's not sweet to take care of it.

If they think I'm 'sweet', when disaster will befall Beat or Wis... then I'll do it when I think I do.

"You don't need to be prestigious that you're a great nobleman, but it's troublesome if you're not scared,"

"Oh, I'll do good. You have... my brother takes care of you too. Don't even get your hands on dirty work."

Just nickel my words and I won't respond.

Does that mean I'll do it if I have to?

You really can't get your head up...

"Speaking of which, this is your wife who went for a 'walk' with the ladies... I think it's time for you to come back"

"'Take a walk'."

Beat, whose 'walk' with Wis is a daily routine every morning.

My daughters have been with me lately, so I feel extra comfortable

Even though Beat and the Maiden are overpowered, Kathua and Anastasia are together.

You won't have a chance of winning by mobilizing our Black Knights squad in total.

Besides, the dragons are stuck in the back like dogs... the idiots who want to sell fights are not even looking all over the continent

"But bandits and demons on a walk... is it normal to come hunting intelligence troops from other countries? Can't you criticize me for not being a nobleman?

"She said that the maiden of the Borderline House could do it normally. There's no problem with training with the Black Knight because there's a territory for bride training."

"... then you have no choice"

I think while sipping some slightly chilled tea

May Wis be quiet, please.

"Nyaaaa, the calculations are not right Nyaaaa!!

I'm about to blow a cup of tea out of Catalina screaming from the next room.

I gave her a private room recently, but she came out on the back.

Sometimes you sound strange because you're alone.

"This is crazy! What is it, Catalina?"

"Nha!? I'm sorry, my lord."

When I got into her room, I was at work dressed like no woman

head is skirting up in a mess and clawing on the floor to fight the paperwork

"... be a little more feminine. The Count, I suppose."

"Ugh, this outfit is easier... and I don't really feel it when they say Count."

Tidy your hair with your hands and grate your skirt

It did get better, but as a nobleman it is a disqualification

"You need a course in women's power. We're gonna be late, okay? Are you sure?

"... Regards,"

I guess I'm somewhat aware of that myself.

She blushed. That's what she answered.

"So, what were you fussing about? What was the cause?

"Ah, yes. This is it."

That's what they gave me. It was the residents' record books.

I guess there's a ton of these clerical jobs because there's been a lot more these days.

Sure, it's a hassle.

"This or... I should have increased the number of people who can calculate or write letters, but it's not enough yet?

"Sir Marie has taken care of the budget calculations, so this is still very helpful."

Surprisingly brilliant Marie, but she can't let go of her praise.

If there's a gap, he could make another thin book.

Still, it's also true that the power of internal affairs is very helpful.

"Well. All right, I'll help you out a little too."

"What, your Excellency?

"... you, you're making a fool of yourself, aren't you?

It was open in Japan.

I don't think you can do paperwork.

I usually only sign confirmations, so there's no reason she thinks so.

"The point is, if I had the same thing as this, it would be over at once... I wish I could make a copy"

"Kopi? What is it? It is"

If you were silently repeating the same task, you'd be screaming like that.

As long as we have the paperwork template, we'll have less than half the work, but there's no copying in this world.

... Can't I make a magic copy?

I can put light magic in blank paper.

"Oh, I got it."

"My lord, don't play and do your job...... NYANYA!!???

Catalina, who was disgruntled, but she was surprised to exaggerate when she saw the paperwork at my disposal

Because until now, what was white paper was a brilliant finished document.

"This is over so soon... My lord, what is wrong with you!?

Look at her hot gaze. Goosebumps.

This is a shitty... the flow of getting plenty of work turned around

Are you getting better and faster?

With all that anxiety, the door opened and Beato and Anastasia came in.

"Dear Zest, are you helping Catalina? Why don't you take a break and have some tea?

"Good job, adoptive father"

"Oh, thank you. Do you?"

Good timing intrusion makes the pinch shiny for now, but you're at a disadvantage as it is.

Drink the tea that Anastasia prepared for you once you look sideways at the pulled back Catalina

This kid's still perfect for Beato.

You'd do it if I told you to help me...... I don't know what to say

"... hey Anastasia. Why don't you remember the light magic of the otherworlds?

sitting next to Beato. She reacted

I'm gonna shake my shoulders with Bikun and turn this one around.

"Father, was there any copy magic in the magic of the ancestral tradition? No, I wouldn't have, because this is for government."

"Oh, you teach me such magic?

"Oh, you just have to remember this and help Catalina. I'd be happy to help you get along with your ministers.

"Yes! Thank you for your adoptive father's consideration!

It makes me smile bad by accident.

This guy's a light magic maniac, and if you put it this way, you wouldn't say no.

I'm honestly happy. When I'm done teaching Anastasia copy magic, Beato slowly comes up here and punches me in the ear

"Master Zest now smiles just like your father and grandfather... you shouldn't use it for weird things, should you?

"Did you look like that? I won't use it. I told you my wife was only Beat."

They say they look a little like those people.

At a time like this, you can replenish the beat ingredients and cheer them up.

I'll pull her over and let her sit on her lap.

"Hehe, you're a rare sweetheart. Isn't it heavy?

"It can't be heavy. This is Beat's designated seat... is Kathua sitting here once in a while?"

"You can't be mad because you're my daughter. But you can't have a woman other than your daughter on board, can you?

When you're talking about such a no-lock with your cheeks pinned to a punni, there's a voice coming from the side

"My lord, it's an eye poison for the solo. In your own office, please."

"Catalina. I can see your adoptive mother's happy smile, okay? And this magic is amazing!

The bottom of my heart, the eye catalina that sees the unpleasant things

The opposite was the strange contrast of Anastasia, a full grin

... Next time I'll introduce you to Catalina as well

Go home to your own office mindful of the single nobleman Catalina and enjoy a happy time flirting with Beato

Throw your job at Anastasia... and give her a chance to rapport with her men. I'm free.

"Ha... Beat's knee pillow is awesome"

"I thought Zest hated this sort of thing. Surprised."

"Were you? I'd rather love that, wouldn't I?

"Yeah, I get it. You can fill it up next time...... uhhhhh"

Beat stroking my head with a knee pillow in a bench

I'm naturally glad I'm doing it, but she's not full of it either.

Nobody comes into the office because they are intimidating their surroundings with black magic to keep them out of the way

By the way, we know Albert's outside the door due to signs.

It's a critical endurance level in his class, so no one else can.

"... it's an old story."

"Huh? What's wrong?

"My parents died when I was a child. The kid grew up in an institution."

……

"The Dean was sweet, and the people I grew up with were good guys... it was fun"

"Yes."

"But I missed you... you wanted a family..."

"Is the child happy now?

You guessed it. Beat's gonna squeeze my hand.

You've never told anyone a story like this before.

"Oh, I'm happy. Surrounded by beautiful wives and pretty daughters... I'd do anything to protect this happiness."

"Really... its wife has been lonely because of her dark attributes since she was very young, so it's the same"

That's what I said, Beato smiled and kissed me

If I was stroking her head back, he'd come in.

"Dad, the magic has finally subsided, so let me in. What are you doing, Mom, getting mad at me... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing since daytime!

You turn bright red and cover your face with your hands, but you're baba around making sure you get it through the gap between your fingers.

"As much as this is one expression of affection, it won't be a problem. My family won't have any trouble looking at me."

"Hehe, you're right. You can be a family."

"Ugh, we're kind of friendlier than usual... well, it's tougher than that!!

The sweet atmosphere is ruined because of it, but I guess something happened because I came in such a hurry

I'll wake up my body and ask Kature.

"What is it? Did the lizards take the whiskey again?

"No, you're not! Mum, there's a maid just like that on the mum on the mum...... Awwwww! I don't know why. Anyway, here comes a maid of honor outfit like on a colored mom!!

... a maid like on a colored mom?

Oh!! Lamia, mother-in-law!!

"What the hell, Lamia, mother-in-law?"

"They say they do look a lot alike."

"... duh, where are you!?

Lamia, my mother-in-law, who was supposed to be a court magician in Imperial City, arrived without a word.

Take Kathua and Beato to the courtyard with a bad feeling

Arrived there was a chaotic situation where I didn't know how to comment

"Wis is really cute. You think so, don't you?

"You're right."

"Master Wisteria is the best"

"Um, it's time to get out of my head... it's nothing"

"Whoa, whoa, you're a cute lizard. Look, your hand."

"We may not beat Zest anymore, but we can't beat you guys, can we?

"One, strong..."

"This way of fighting looks just like the Zest Lord"

"Grandpa's dark magic... not a hammer..."

the dragons falling to the ground and the Borderline Uncle family whispering as they looked down at it

... I can imagine more or less

You must have tried recklessly...... you dumb lizards.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a while. Looking good, above all."

"Grandpa, you look well... your mother is wearing made-up clothes again..."

When I greet my long-time borderline uncle with Beato, he says this with a full borderline uncle laugh

"Oh, it's been a long time. I'm in a lot of trouble... we're all here."

"What do you mean this mentz is full of momentum? 'Cause I can fight a fight somewhere?

"Whoa, whoa, I'm good at guessing. If you're bad, you're at war with the Dwarves, Lord Marshal."

"The Border Bell Army will also be under Zest's command, so thank you."

"On behalf of the court magician, I will join the battle. Yes, it's an order."

It's the moment when what I said in a joke really happened.

receive the handed orders with trembling hands, slowly opening

It was written like this in big letters.

"I appoint Grand Duke Zest-Gaius-Terminal as Grand Marshal

Command the entire army to secure the border.

I'll take care of the details. "

… explain before leaving it to me, Your Majesty the Emperor

I couldn't speak to him. I was standing there with my shoulder slapped.
