The Peerless Kobold (WN)

I wait for a while in front of the door as it is, but there is no response from inside the room.

"I'm coming in, Mother"

After a single call, Muriel opens the door, and a red-haired lady sitting on her back in a desk chair with a sunny window drops the paperwork in hand on the desk, pointing her sharp gaze at the depth of her thoughts.

"You were sooner than I thought... Welcome home, Muriel"

"Hmm, I'm home now"

"Have you ever had the experience to look a little grown up?

"Yeah, I worked hard as an adventurer."

With a glance from the top of her daughter's head to her toenails, the lady smiles invincibly and shifts her interest to me, who has come into the room with her.

"By the way, I'd like you to meet Mitsuhito."

"Eh, the uhh... uhh, nervous"

Succeeding after Muriel, who was shy and stuffed with words, she confronts her mother, Her Ladyship.

"Nice to meet you, Baroness, my name is Archer and I belong to Zergra's guild."

Having a conversation to the point of slightly leaning my neck because it was not an official place, I was returned with a harsh look based on my suspicious daughter's condition.

"So... how long has Lord Archer been with our daughter?

"I was on edge in a Valiant crusade led by Lord Felias, and the sun is shallow, but I am close"

If she answers grandly without being nervous the other way because she has broken it off as a favor, the lady returns her gaze to Muriel and exhales a slightly heavier sigh.

"Ha, the fact that I brought in a close heterosexual as I returned home..."

"Yeah, we're dating."

"... you're in trouble, you know how kind I was when I got engaged to the Adventurer (Christ)"

"Ugh, I'm sorry"

Apart from the special, did Muriel feel more guilty about deluding his sincerely accepting mother? Muriel squeezed her shoulders and shrunk to apologize, and the lady who saw the condition cut out the story with a determined look.

"If you've made up your mind, stretch your chest. I've chosen Christ, and I haven't had a bit of cloud."

(I'm going to launch an effective pursuit inside...)

I'm sure you're doing accurate damage to her mind with some hindsight.

How dare you think like any other HR, a flow arrow flew in on me too.

"Lord Archer, there are two conditions I ask of you."

Poking her elbows at the concierge and crossing her fingers, the lady says away with a challenging gaze.

"Show your daughter not to regret this choice, and your own usefulness."

Hmm, the first condition is my idea as a mother, and I guess the next one concerns the Vests, who serve as administrators, but it lacks some specificity.

"... how can I prove that?

"Well, I need to talk to you about the pageant, and I want you to compete with the princess of the Deekbells."

Apparently, before my foster parent, Uncle Schwark, had dinner, it needed a good reason to refuse the engagement, and the result was that Lord Shigeko decided to do the right thing to his daughter's son-in-law.

I stand in the position of an adventurer that the Vests are greeting, and I will be the horse of the Deakbells.

"Ahhh... good luck, Archer"

"Depends on what you try and do."

Since it's a sudden story, the details will be posterior, but I'm essentially the one to be tried, so should I think that the content will be fair?

(Of course, I don't intend to worship the after-dust, but it is also large due to the other party)

Assuming future developments while looking at the situation around me, your lady adds the story as she remembers.

"With that said, I checked in advance to send you a portrait of my daughter, and you said you had some knowledge at the School of Magic."

"... do you know him, Muriel?

I glanced at her with slight doubts and she leaned her little neck and roared out adorably.

"Uh-huh, college... Deekbell... oh, you might know!

For the fourth year of my career in the School of Magic, I was a friend of a nobleman who had spoken of an excellent best friend if he kept his mouth shut.

"So, the persistently entwined Ernesta tapped into the fist of the storm attack... and the Deakbell seniors who used to tease the guy got caught up too."

Ever since Muriel healed him with the magic of healing lights, he became the guide of the Storm Witch (Ernesta), who cut off the school director from “the earliest, there's nothing to learn in college” and had some interaction with him until he graduated early.

It should be noted that his lord is scheduled to stay in the town of Verheim as Muriel returns, and his wife gave me permission to stay in the mansion until the end of a series of things.

Shortly after leaving the clerk's office where the general story thus wrapped up, the little fox sister, who had read the air and grown up, exhales heavily over her shoulder.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Guruuuuu."

Even as he threw out his little limbs and gently stroked the head of a little fox on his shoulder with his belly, he continued after Muriel that he would lead him to the room.

……………

………

…

In the office where those two and one left off, Adelia Vest, with a slightly tired look, takes the parchment she received the other day from the desk and looks through.

A small piece of paper with surprisingly fine letters described the Valiant crusade from the retreat of the village of Grau.

"For once, there is no discrepancy with the reports from our collaborators (Mirea) …"

Naturally, Muriel had no reason to know... her companion, Mirea, had been acquired by the Vests early on and secretly served to keep her only daughter informed of the latest developments at a specially educated round-trip pigeon deposited in the guild of the city of Warren.

"Still, what are you doing... that kid"

Adelia zeroes a heavy sigh when she sees the part that says "I visited Archer's Inn room that night we met at the tavern and came home late at night” and wonders if I raised her in the wrong way.

However, in retrospect of the past, there is a verse that I fell in love with Christ at first sight myself, so I reckon I can't deny it all at once and hold onto the next part to be confirmed.

"Crusade for 2 Kingsguard (Imperial) species in the Valiant Crusade..."

If it is true that two Kingsguard (Imperial) species classified as Threat C have been slaughtered, they will have a strength close to the gold grade.

In addition, I am concerned about the origin (but not the origin) of the strange mechanical bow that I observed a little earlier in kind. In the personal opinion of his collaborator (Mirea), who is also a bowman, he says it is a handmade delicacy like that held by the royal marquis nobility.

"... I'm not sure, Jen, but maybe it's not bad as a son-in-law"

After a brief roundup of thoughts, Baroness nodded to convince one.
