The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Next day

Finish your morning fishing, get ready for a visit with your lord, and finish your lunch early.

Everyone in the village knew the circumstances, so the order in which the food was served also gave priority.

Thanks, I started getting it first... but honestly, I'm not sure what it tastes like on the way.

The same goes for Kai and the others who are eating together.

Because... Lord, I'm here, somehow in front of you.

"Fugu, mug, um, yummy!

It should also be noted that the lord is a species called the pig race, which is quite an obese body type which is a pedigree problem. But I wear kimonos and tie them to my head, so I only look more like a mighty man than a lord or nobleman. And he is worthy of that shape, luxuriously stirring rice and four servings abundant in the bowl.

... I don't know why this is happening, when I sort it out...

First, the lord visited the village by boat, across the lake.

But thanks for the wind direction or something, they arrived faster.

The welcoming village chief can't keep the lord waiting! And he tried to call us.

But the lord said he'd wait for us because he'd come sooner than he promised.

So the village chief advised him how to eat because it was just bad for him to wait.

… As a result, we were supposed to have lunch with a lord of nobility whom we were not familiar with.

Incidentally, there's no way an important figure named Lords would walk out on his own, and each one of you sits on his left and right.

On one side is a young, samurai-style outfit, a masked scale that covers the right eye. The other, like the lord, saw the scales covering the lower half of the palm from both wrists in the attire of the mighty. From the looks of it, they're Dragon Newt. I also heard you're hiring technicians from inside Dragoneut, and I'm guessing they're from there.

"Please replace me."

Richard-style people eat as good as lords... or aren't they escorts?

Is he the only escort because samurai-style people are watching their surroundings still without eating anything?

... I don't know, let's just have lunch.

So after meals.

"Phew...... hey, it was really good. The women here are good cooks. Thank you. Then the village chief. Thank you for your hospitality so far, probably at a time when you need to store up over the winter. I think I ate too much without hesitation. I'll have the food delivered later. I don't think it's much, but I'd like it to be an addition to my prep."

"Thank you very much."

I heard you were a good lord, but it seems true. At least we seem to pay for what we have eaten ourselves, and naturally we are worn to be aristocrats or welcomed! It doesn't even seem like the type you think it is.

"Well, you're the adventurers in charge of defending this village, aren't you? Once again, it is the Lord here in Fatma territory, Count Porco Fatma. First, help with defense, thank you."

"It's a waste of time. Hey, guys."

Shikum's pier, Mr. Singh, the leader, responds on his behalf, but it is clear that he is nervous.

The lord who saw them like that,

"Don't get so hard, you can talk to me like you normally do."

And when I laughed and told him I would forgive him, he also looked somewhat better.

"Warcraft has been on the increase over the past few years, not just Mad Salamander. I had therefore invited adventurers from outside my territory... there were more than that this year... some villages have been broken through the defensive line due to lack of manpower, and some have been taken root prey is the current situation"

... Was that the case in other villages?

"I think this village was similarly exposed to the threat of the herd, but it was helpful not only to protect it, but also to turn its power to other villages"

"Lord, it's not about us..."

Five people from Sikum's pier send their sights this way.

"I hear about that. This time around, the submissive magician boy made a particularly significant contribution. But that doesn't mean the others didn't work. Thank you for your cooperation, and you are truthful!

When the lord said so and laughed, the five bowed their heads again.

I can't see my face, but the atmosphere seems happy at any rate.

"And... you're the one who contributed so much to it, right?

"Yes, my name is Lyoma Takebayashi"

"Mm-hmm. The village chief told me that you have a letter of introduction to me, right?

"Yes. Current owner of the Duke of Jameel family. La -"

"Is that a Reinhardt reference!?

As soon as he uttered the letter of reference from whom, the lord raised his voice to his surprise.

This one surprises me as much as it surprises me. Is there something wrong with that?

"Yes, I keep it inside the item box, are you sure you want to take it out?

"Oh, I'd love to see it. Never mind. I don't mind if you use magic."

When I retrieve the references I kept because permission was given, the lord reaches out and receives the references from me.

In this case, I suspect it might be dangerous or something, but he doesn't seem to really care...

He opens the seal of the letter of introduction he receives and reads the contents so that he can eat in.

"Mmmm... Lyoma, did I say you?

"Yes."

"Did Reinhardt say anything when he gave it to you?

Ask me and I'll try to remember the situation I received.

"... he said to rely on him if there was anything wrong with him because he was a trustworthy man. That's all. On second thought, I think I've been trying to tell you something..."

"I see, I can't tell you. I see...... Ku, hahahahahaha!! - Fuggo!"

... What the hell is that?

I thought I was convinced, I suddenly laughed out, laughing too much and even making a pig-like nose sound.

I don't know what that means either, but my surroundings are more confusing, including my entourage. I want an explanation.

"Heh, heh, heh. No, no, I'm sorry. You've always been taken care of by Reinhardt."

When he calms down a little, he breathes and starts talking again.

"The content of this letter of reference explains that you are such a competent person that the Duke of Jamil wants to take in as a technician. Also, the fact that you visited me with this reference means that you would like me to give you a hand because you would be in some trouble. And it says don't take it to me because it's someone who spoke up at my place."

"That's what..."

"Mm-hmm. That Reinhardt writes a reference in the first place, which is rare in itself, but I didn't think the content was like this either. Sometimes it's really unusual."

The look on the face of the lord, who says so and sees the letter of introduction, was a very gentle one.

You were paying too much attention unintentionally, eyes to eyes with him with his face up.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Are you not informed in detail? [M] I am the Count, Reinhardt is the Duke. Does the title bother you that I'm abandoning him down there?

"No, in that sense... I didn't, but if you ask me, I'm starting to care about the relationship between you two"

"You're honest, too. In a nutshell, we're senior students and juniors."

"! I see you've known each other since you were a student"

"Exactly, in public places, we turn our backs, but in private places, we're close enough to call each other by name. But I also know some of his old failures and embarrassing memories.

Daiwa, so that we don't have to talk about our student years. I guess I didn't want to be touched and didn't go into details. That's where he dresses unexpectedly. "

"Yes, is it?

"I suppose so. Given the circumstances in which he was placed, there was no choice but to say that Reinhardt was the son of the famous Duke of Flame Dragon, Lord Reinbach. As for Lord Reinbach's feat."

"You're talking about a covenant with a god beast."

"Exactly. Reinhardt has a great father, but therefore, while in school, he was always treated or compared to“ the son of that one ”and lived a life of disabling anyway. As an aristocrat, he didn't even look trivial."

"Were you..."

"I hardly have any friends to forgive my heart for. I happen to have the same problem of being compared to an excellent father - most of the time in my case it was better than him, but I had it. That's why Reinhardt and I started to wonder and talk. Now that I think about it, it's a good memory... I don't know. This won't be over forever."

"Thank you for sharing a very interesting story."

"Mm-hmm. Let's make this story another opportunity. But now I'm sure."

? What would it be?

"He is a subordinate magician and a close human being to Reinhardt, who serves a large number of slimes. And his name is Lyoma Takebayashi. Just to confirm, aren't you opening a laundry shop in the city of Gimle?

"Yes, you're absolutely right"

"Again! You're the" Wheat Tea Sage ”!

... What?

Riding himself out to the table, the lord seems excited.

But my head was filled with confusion.

"What is a wise man of wheat tea..."

Do you know a bunch of travelers named Semroids?

One semroid!

"I know that then. Around this summer, we had an affair."

"Well, then there's no mistake."

According to the lord's story...

Recently, I heard rumors that there are bards in the countryside who have lost their trading partners and become poor who tell the story of a wise man who saved the village by telling them how to make a new beverage called wheat tea. I looked it up with interest, and the bard was in a nearby city, so I called it to my city to hear the song.

We talked afterwards and were told that the song also had a creative part, but that it was true that there was someone who told us how to make wheat tea, and that there was a village saved by it.

If there's such a person, I want to talk to him, and when I ask him more, he says he knows Reinhardt, an acquaintance. I was going to contact Reinhardt at a later date to introduce him, and I found out that someone like that (me) had come to my territory himself.

So I thought there was something just right about thanking you, and I came to see you in person.

... and so it seems.

I can't believe one semroid came near here, too. And Mr. Prenance, the bard...... he said he was going to sing about barley tea, but did he really make it a song? Does that mean the world is narrow when it comes to getting into the lord's ear and meeting with me... well, good to see you're looking good.

But what would be a lord's consultation?

"There are two things I want to talk to you about. But you don't have to think too seriously. To the extent that it is possible, you can say no.

First of all... I would like to make a dish that will be a specialty of this realm. "

"Specialty dishes. So talk about barley tea."

"Mm-hmm. The road has been set up since my father's generation, so that more people are going to the realm and the economy is being revitalized. I want specialties other than fish. Especially since I want to eat something delicious."

A lord who smiles lightly and slaps himself in the stomach. Apparently, as you can see, he likes to eat.

"We have also made extensive contact with the cities and villages in the territory, and a number of opinions and recipes have already been proposed. But here we are! I can't find a dish that... it would be helpful if I could get tips from a different perspective and ideas for good food.

And will the other consultation be a request as a launderer... From here, we will be ahead beyond the lake, but there is a mountain, and near its summit is secret water, which my father loved greatly in his lifetime. And there is a cabin that I purposefully let build on the mountain. I'd like to ask you to clean up there. "

"? You don't normally hire people, shouldn't you?

"That's right... after my father's death, I was busy taking over work, and for a long time I neglected to manage the hot springs and the cabin. In time the accumulated dirt solidifies, and no matter how many times you ask me to clean it, I have dirt that has stopped falling off...... what do you think? Can you drop it?

"There are so many different kinds of dirt that you can't really say anything you don't see......"

But tomorrow is a fish-free day.

"If you don't mind, can I go check out that cabin tomorrow? And if it's possible, I'll keep it clean."

"Will you take it on! Then let's have a guide. Then when we can clean it, we'll pay 10 small coins."

10 small gold coins in bath cleaning. I'm tired of rewarding you for breaking the law.

"Isn't that a little too much?

"It certainly could be. But that's fine. Sometimes it's stubborn dirt, but that cabin is like my father's figure to me."

Said Sarali in his mouth, but his gaze has dropped slightly.

"I understand. If you succeed, you'll get more, so there's no complaining."

Thus I accept the request of the lord (spa cleaning).

Then the lord thanked him with a full smile and left.

In retrospect, I was also nervous at first, but the impression ended quite lightly.

Even though you had a reference, is this what it would be like if you were the first person you met?

... you wanted to hear about that Mighty Man outfit...

Mixed with a large number of villagers and dropping off the lord's boat, I was thinking about that.
