The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Next day

When it was a little past noon, I was rocked by a carriage.

"I didn't expect to see the Dukes today yesterday."

"After Master Lyoma left Gimru, he skipped a sentence to me that Callum had left. I told the Duke's house about it because it had an appointment and an expected arrival date, and he replied that if it was convenient for me, I wouldn't mind today... I was a little surprised even if it were me"

"If you do it normally, it'll probably be as easy as Lyoma thinks."

"That's right..."

Serge and I agreed to rendezvous “no later than three days" and we were going to be here a little early not to be late...

"I'm sure I want to see Lyoma."

That's all I can think about.

"Ha..."

That could be true of those kind people.

I'm glad you're worried about leaving them.

"Speaking of which, things have changed in the city."

The carriage has been slowly going up the hill for a while now. The view from the windows is accompanied by a large array of shops and restaurants, from small shops and private houses to lively townships.

"It will soon come from the aristocratic city. There's going to be fewer bums."

“Aristocrat" … is that what lies ahead?

"Right. Think of the city as a hill and the flats that surround it. And as you climb the mountain, you'll find many luxury homes and luxury shops.

But you don't have to be so careful. It's called an aristocratic neighborhood, but it's actually inhabited by a somewhat wealthy public, and there's no restriction on access in this city. "

"Well, it's nothing like wandering around for nothing. Wye and the others go straight to the Duke's house like this, and nothing bothers them.

By the way, the Duke's mansion is at the top of the mountain, at the highest point in the aristocratic district. "

"That's kind of easy to imagine."

What the hell kind of mansion is it? I don't think it's too small for me to think about it. Is it like a castle in a dream country?

"If you're in such a hurry, get there soon."

"Enjoy your stay."

"" By the way ""

Two voices overlap. Neither seems to have intended it, and Mr. Serge opens his mouth after conceding first to each other.

"Dear Lyoma, it's a treat..."

You're talking about clothes!

...... Today's outfit is in a blue suit specially ordered at Gimle's tailor. I personally am very satisfied that you tailored it exactly as ordered. What...

"Is it plain after all?

The tailor's clerk and all of our employees reacted subtly when they saw me in the suit.

"It's plain. I don't mean to be rude."

"You didn't have to hesitate, did you?

Those two outfits are... super flashy from me.

Mr. Piolo wears a shirt with a shiny lace on it and a coat with a brightly colored cloth protruding from the slits in it.

Serge said... although it looks like a luxury fabric, the clothing design feels normal for the price. But on the neck, that collar, on the knee, you'll wear it when you go outside, a beret with big feathers? I'm putting on.

Now, naturally. That's all the clerks have ever guessed, and that's what's popular with the majority of people. And it's not weird that the two of you in front of you are wearing clothes like that.

But this is fine with me.

"I liked this design. And it's easy to move."

"I see. It's a good thing you're committed. Especially when it comes to outfits."

"Just follow the fashion and tell me you have good taste."

"Ha... I'm not sure I have the taste for clothes"

"No, its sophisticated form. The materials used are also first-class and carefully tailored. As much as I want one, too. Which store did you buy it from?

"It's a shop in the West Side of Gimru. I just took the fifth corner from Boulevard to the right."

"Is that the fifth one in the West Side? I heard it was still a new store... you found a good one"

"Mr. Callum checked it out for me. Thanks to you, we have a smooth set."

"Hmm. And that tie pin?

I knew you'd notice.

"The stone is the legacy my grandmother left me. He said the most trustworthy and skilled craftsman in the business had done that."

The base of the tie pin is delicately represented by a thread-like goldsmith with folding straight lines and curves and intertwined cradles, with flowers wrapped in large diamonds in the center. Not as flashy as sprinkling countless gems, but one harmony is achieved by the hands of the craftsmen.

"You certainly have great skill. This delicacy… probably a craftsman familiar with the magic of metallicity"

"Mr. Boulder Serge. I did get that explanation when I received this."

Metallicity, which is a magical designation for metalworking by using soil and fire attribute magic together. At the time of handling multiple attributes, the clerk told me that it was a delicacy made using high-difficulty technology, which was highly difficult to use as magic and required fine control if it was to be used in craftsmanship. Excellent metallic magic users are voiced by the Monetary Authority and other national agencies, and it seems really unusual to be in the field.

"Mmmm... I didn't know such craftsmen were in Gimru, I would love to see you..."

"I was thinking of buying something for you, too."

"Oh, is it a wedding anniversary or something? Mr. Krana, you'll be delighted."

The conversation with the two of them bounced comfortably and the slope of the carriage disappeared as the topic spread.

"Sounds like you made it up the hill sometime. Let's get ready to go down."

"You can see the mansion from the window."

"Huh?"

I turn to the indicated right window, but what I see is a moat and a high stone wall...... or a castle wall?

"Mr. Serge, Mr. Piolo. Wouldn't you say“ castle ”instead of“ mansion ”?

I try to change the angle of view and get as full a picture as I can, but there was a building there that really just seemed like a castle. Nor is it a white, beautiful and fantastic castle as it is in a dream country, with guards standing everywhere on the high walls, and chess pawn-like towers giving their heads from the inside of the walls.

... Whatever you think, you're a fortress.

Even if you're thinking about it, the carriage doesn't stop, you change direction and go to the castle gate where the soldiers line up.

"The head of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, Serge Morgan and two others. You and the two of you in the back seat are squire. The shipment is a small gift to His Excellency the Duke. Permission to cross please."

"I'm asking. Please continue to the Mansion. From there, a dedicated person will guide you."

I thought it was more bee security. I easily checked, and the carriage moves out again.

I wonder what...

"What's wrong?

"I just felt something strange..."

"If you do that, will you be bound? Spatial magic prevents thieves from sneaking in on their own."

"The kingdom...... what is it?

"He said that those who are sensitive to magic can sometimes feel uncomfortable when passing through the bonds. The Duke's mansion is heavily connected by magic tools and the exclusive hands of the wizards."

It was a feeling I had never felt when I was using kingdom magic...

"That's right, we'll really get to your mansion now."

Whoa, yeah.

Perform a final check on your outfit and keep your mind tight.

"Good luck"

I disembark from the carriage in honor of Mr. Serge's men, who served as your lord.

The first thing that caught my eye...... the servants who greet me in rows, what a total of 20. They paved the way for us to get through, men and women splitting into two left-right rows and bowing their heads.

... I remember seeing it many times in cartoons and stuff, but back then I never dreamed that it would be in a position to be directed at me...

Even more surprising was the building ahead of them. That's a fine Western-style mansion, unlike the impression of a fortress from the outside. The outer walls and towers do remind me of the fortress, but the mansion that was inside them makes the reception hotel . Gray, rather old-school stone construction, but not at all well maintained and dirty. I rather feel history and style.

"Welcome aboard."

One butler, he called. He would be the most senior of these positions.

The first thing he says is that we're going to meet with the Dukes, and we're going to keep moving to the barn. The three men, including Mr. Faye, in the role of squire, will be waiting in separate rooms during that time. The souvenirs are handed over to the attendant on this occasion and checked once. Once they're safe, they'll be delivered to the depot before the meeting.

"Okay, this way, please."

As they say, following the guide's maid as a matter of course...

"Please wait here a moment"

There were two familiar women waiting in the modem that was put through.

"Mr. Arrone? And Mr. Lillian."

"Long time no see. Dear Lyoma."

"I've been waiting for you. Looking good, above all."

Do you know the maid who showed you here? The face turns to two.

"Excuse me. Thank you very much for your help before."

"Was I? Then I beg your pardon for this. If you need anything, please let these two know"

The guide's maid walks away and is a little ho.

"Would you like a drink?

"Water, tea, fruit water, light items, but alcohol is also available."

"Can I get some fruit water?"

"Wye have tea."

"Water, please"

The two of you who are used to this kind of place on the boulder are always natural.

"Go ahead."

"Thank you............................................."

It's cold and pleasant to feel through your throat.

"What, are you nervous?

"Of course."

Though I find it a little weird myself, I'm not so anxious or nervous to meet the Dukes. It's just that I've never had the experience of visiting an aristocratic hall. Besides, I wouldn't even say it looks great... but as the head of the store for once, I have to be pretty grand here.

Nevertheless...... a company employee stopped in his previous life. As for the top, I'm still new to America, and there are some parts of me that don't feel comfortable inside.

Dignificant. But when I cross the threshold, I buy it as it should... I have trouble with this kind of thing because the standards are vague. Unlike the way you thank me, the position of the seat, and what is clearly determined by the angle and location, it also depends on the air of the place and the character and reception of the person.

... I mean, look at people's attitudes and be confident. But tell me what it is, don't you think yourself that if you try to change it, you're busy or not humble enough, you've been doing too well lately? Or arrogant, huh? Something like that, you know? Even if I watch out for that again, I hate it this time through humility, but how can I be satisfied...

"Master Lyoma? Are you all right, sir?

There was a mix of weird depression. Is it because of the suit?

"Yes, because I was just a little nervous"

"Are you a homo? My eyes are dead."

"I don't mind if you're not feeling well... but you don't have to be too worried. If you need anything, I or Piolo will follow you, and I didn't think it was necessary to watch it so far."

In addition, Mr. Arrone and Mr. Lillian encourage him to “seem calm enough" and "some more unsettled customers” one word at a time.

I appreciate that concern. Let's do our best.

Then we blossomed into a story that didn't even bother us.

You're trying to distract me, and the two maids are aggressive enough to get into the conversation.

Rather, the heart of the story is with them. I don't know how you met me, what you were doing after you broke up, and then the latest news was that your coworkers were going to get married, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on
