The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat
First story: Assassins are told their new lives
Tart finishes the meal and refrains from behind me, as usual.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to dine with you, but sometimes I can't show the other servants, and this is what I needed to do in Towaharde.
The main breakfast is dried fish soup.
There is a lake in the territory, and the inhabitants earn a dime by beside agriculture, catching river fish if their hands are free, and selling them dry for preservation.
I prefer this one if I want it to be soup because it deepens the flavor when it is dried.
The dried fish soup prepared by Tart is one of my favorites.
"Lug, you're a fish I've never seen. What kind of fish is that?
"It's Renhammus. Because it's delicious and it's large and edible, I can often eat it when it's towaharde"
"Oh, you smell good."
I was impressed when Dia saw the soup with the big fillet.
Renamus grows by about fifty centimeters, so it's also a loving reason to be able to cover a family's meal.
"Let's just eat. Cooking is much easier to understand than explaining it by mouth"
"Right. Looking forward to eating."
Try to taste the meal Tart made for me.
◇
Breakfast begins.
The dried mass soup is excellent as you can imagine.
Very good stock out there.
The taste is multiplied by combining it with dried mushrooms and stock. Tightening the flavor by adding a little lemon juice to the concealed flavor is Tower Hard Stream.
Large fillets and root vegetables are dusty and suitable for eating.
This was originally my mother's specialty dish, which my mother taught Tart.
Enjoy the soup, apply the ready butter made of goat's milk just squeezed in the morning and eat the bread.
A butter with good freshness has a different dimension than regular butter. For the first time, I even remembered being impressed when I ate butter made from freshly squeezed milk.
And the bread itself is good.
The secret of this bread is that it is mixed with soy flour.
I squeeze soybeans and get fat to make lecithin, an ingredient in cosmetics, so I squeeze soybeans but I have a ton of extra.
It's a waste to throw that away, so feed the livestock, fertilize it, or these days flour it and mix it with wheat to make it bread.
This way, the bread contains the flavour of soybeans, and it is cooked lightly. Besides, it saves wheat and helps my household.
I'm spreading this to the people, and it's starting to fashion.
Moisturizing your throat is juice made with seasonal apples now.
Dry mass, goat milk butter, bread with soybeans and apples are not all luxurious ingredients, but they are all the grace of a tower hade and shine by cooking to take advantage of the flavours of their ingredients.
I also like urban luxury dishes, but towaharde dishes suit my mouth better.
"Delicious, as always, towahade rice is rustic and delicious"
"That's the kind of territory Towaharde is. That's why I like it."
Live with the earth.
It's not extraordinarily wealthy, but I think it's a rich place.
When the food runs out, my father opens his mouth.
"Let's just say we're going to talk about this. It's hard for Dia to live as Dia Vicone"
"Yeah, I know that. He escaped with treason."
"That's why we have a new name and family registry here. Claudia Towaharde. As Lug's sister, I ask her to live."
Dia's expression hardens.
"Uh, I'm sixteen. From Lug, I can't believe you're my sister even though you're two and six months old."
"I understand that. But that's the only registry I can prepare here. I can't even prepare a new one now... but when I can find out what I made improvisationally, I always feel worn out. In that regard, the purchasing of Claudia's household registry was done fourteen years ago, not borough"
I can imagine several patterns of what I was making this registry for.
The most likely thing is that when I died, there was a candidate who should be seated as his successor instead, and the family registry I had prepared for him.
There is one woman in the family with outstanding talent. It's inferior to me, but if it's her, it's enough to succeed Towaharde.
... I don't feel good about the preparation assuming my death, but I can tell you that such a loophole sounds towaharded.
"But wouldn't it be weird if I said I was fourteen? unsuspecting."
My mother slaps Dia's shoulder whining anxiously.
"It's okay. You're short, you're a child's face, your breasts are tiny, and you can afford anything at twelve!
"... the way you put it, it hurts plain. I mean, it's over forty, but I don't want people who seem to go through with it in their teens to tell me!
"That's the kind of family line you have. But it's not all bad. In this year, it's tough with all my friends around me, my skin, my health, but we're easy."
It's convincing to have an unusual young mother.
... In fact, my mother is jealous of her surrounding wife buddies. Maybe Dia is not much different now, whether she has a baby or forty.
Vicone's blood is, in a way, more amazing than magic.
"Because I will grow up properly! My chest's a little bigger than last year!
"Hehe, you shouldn't expect it. So did I..."
At the leisure of experience, my mother speaks. I'm sure there was a mother's struggle.
"Hey, can we keep talking?
My father coughed up and made me turn my attention to myself again.
... By the way, my mother makes unusual young and my father struggles too.
My father and mother avoid partying as much as possible, but there are still parties where I have to leave, and when that happens, I take my mother, who is too young, and she is seen with strange eyes.
Lolicon in the shadows. What do they say? Well, I'm with my young, beautiful mother, so I guess that's acceptable.
"I turned Dia into fourteen for another reason. In this kingdom of Alvan, from fourteen summers to sixteen summers, magicians are to attend the Royal Knights School. aristocracy is compulsory participation, ordinary people are enrolled by the hopeful with magic"
"The Royal Knights School of the Kingdom of Alvan. I've heard it before."
As it is somewhat famous, Dia of the Suongel kingdom also seemed to know its name.
"Um, as you know, military power depends on how much magic you can have.... but it just doesn't help to say you have magic. The goal is to build up all the magic to be counted as a force of war when something happens."
Magic is strong.
Simply wrapping magic around him, he plays the sword or arrow of a general soldier, and no half-breed attack passes, he can easily snap the neck of a general soldier with his bare hands, and wave his sword and it can be made into two straight pieces for each armor.
But still, I can't satisfy that power with an amateur who hasn't trained.
That's why I spend two years training all my magic possessions.
For the kingdom of Alvan, which has a small standing army and collects most of its fighting power from all over the country when things happen, it makes a lot of sense to train and keep it usable.
"The apparent reason means the backward reason, right?
"Um, there is a verse in which the nobles think they are kings in their own territory, not serving the kingdom of Alvan. That happens because we only know the narrow world of our own territory and we are so educated by our parents. That is why we give in education the philosophy that we should bring together aristocratic children from all over this country, expand the world by meeting aristocrats of the same age and at the same time devote ourselves to this country. It started five years ago, but it's already starting to work. At least a new generation has been able to think things through different perspectives than the old nobles"
Made five years ago, I guess this system was made mainly of the latter.
The nobles like it because they have grown up in an environment that they take for granted.
Nothing can be done without changing its fundamentals.
I don't really trust the royalty right now, but this measure is excellent.
"I see, that's why nobility is compulsory, and the general public is the only one who wants it. And I have to be fourteen, because sixteen would have led me to ignore the school that was supposed to be compulsory."
"Your answer. If it's fourteen, we'll make it to school this year. I hope you and Lug learn from next month."
And my father didn't say it on this occasion, but a brave man of my age showed up.
Be sure, he shows up at school.
As an alumni, I can easily get closer to the brave.
... for two years, analyze the power of the brave all you want. Become friends and get as close as you can.
Just to be clear, I'm going to school now or something, and I won't have anything to gain, but if it's for killing braves, you can go out and do it.
"I get it. I will be Lug's sister. But just a shame... because one day, I wanted to be Lug's wife"
Dia smiles sadly.
My father tilts his neck.
"That's it, why do I have to give up marriage when I'm a brother and sister?
"What are you talking about? Brothers and sisters. You can't get married."
"What is Dia talking about? It's normal in the Alvan kingdom, isn't it?
My mother was leaning her neck the same way.
I can't help it, I'll make it up to you.
"Dia, creating magic in the Alvan kingdom is our top priority... when we talk about blah blah blah blah, magic is almost exclusively noble or its branches. So, it's quite a hurdle to welcome a nobleman from another house. Some nobles can't do that. In that case, it may be tied to a magician born of ordinary people, but yes, it doesn't work."
"No way, if you still can't, you mean brothers and sisters!?
"... sort of. There are also many other patterns in which you invite a nobleman who is in need of low status and money to pay a gratuity and ask him to leave when he has children, although he does not marry."
Dia's face turns bright red, she's blue, she's in trouble.
Well, I think I'm flying, too.
For the nobles, it is their duty above all to create the next generation of magic.
That's why I would be brothers and sisters if I had to...... sometimes I would be parents and children but I would have children, and if I couldn't even do that, I would hire a nobleman in trouble with gold to make only children.
If we don't do this, we can't maintain a magical lineage.
Doing this is going to cause problems because the blood is too thick, but magic is not a problem because you are not the first to have a disease at birth.
"Ugh, I'm glad, but I feel complicated."
"In our case, it's okay because there's no blood connected. I care about other people's eyes, but I don't care about anything in this country. In the first place, I don't need to tell you that I've been a brother and sister since I got married."
In the end, that's where I'm going.
Instead, it's harder for Dia to avoid it for that reason as far as I'm concerned.
"Okay! Then I don't care either"
Quite, it feels like a throw. But more than anything if you convinced me.
My father nods contentedly.
"Now Dia has become Lug's sister, and my daughter. You should call me Dad."
"Then call me your mother about me!
"No, that's a little high on the hurdles,"
Thus, Dia became my sister.
"You can also tell me about assassination techniques, if you're in the direct line of Towahade. Lug, tell me. You can tell me, but I'm going to knight school next month, and I don't mind throwing it out in a month. Rugg could teach you that over there."
"Yes, I did. Responsible assassination of Dia."
Even though I'm a lover and I have to protect you, I can't even get out of my mind if I'm also your sister.
... Schools are places where young husbands with ape-like lust come together.
We will have to protect Dia from the devil's hands.
No, that's not enough. Let Dia develop the power to protect herself.
We're going to head to school in a month.
I had a lot to buy.
Next time, let's head to Murteau with the "three” and do some shopping.
There, you'll have it all, plus some errands you have to go over there as an ilg.
