Shortly after the beginning of the year, Baron Terrence Nettle Holds died.

Though the debt problem has disappeared, it appears that he was unable to overcome the ill health caused by his hard work.

For a short time, Isaac attended the funeral because he was a tutor.

Since I played the perfume at that time, it seems that I will have it until I have developed, manufactured and sold a product made from chocolate.

That's about the big thing that's happened a week or so since the anniversary of the agreement.

The small thing is that some of the elves became homesick and "want to go home once" appeared.

But that is suppressed by Aloys' persuasion.

Nevertheless, the important discussion is over, and the rest is in a state of trying to solve the challenges that emerge with time.

The elves have nothing but sightseeing, even if they remain in the king's capital.

So I said, "Can I go home before Isaac and the others? It was discussed."

And Isaac himself was generally at peace - not at all.

- enough children to be invited on an important day called the anniversary of the new agreement and called into a separate room.

Those who were only able to say hello on the day have also killed an application for a visit in an attempt to sit back and talk.

Not like before. "Would you like to be engaged to my daughter?" There is also an offer, so someone in the family is always escorted.

Count Samuel Lancaster was visiting this time, and his grandfather, Morgan, was escorting Isaac.

"Morgan, this kid's grown up to be a great kid. No, should I say I'm still growing up (...)? Maybe it'll be better than your father."

With a frantic grin, Count Lancaster said.

"Right, Sam. But I want you to transcend me as a human being, not as an intellectual."

"That's a pretty low hurdle."

The two laugh.

Apparently I'm not just saying I'm the same aristocrat, I'm in a friendship with him personally.

The more you two get along, the more you know.

At least, they're close enough to call each other by name.

But Isaac remains in doubt.

"Wasn't Count Lancaster ill?

The reason for his resignation as Minister of Foreign Affairs was ill health.

So Morgan was appointed Foreign Secretary instead.

Yet the Earl of Lancaster in front of you is health itself.

It didn't look unhealthy enough to resign.

"You don't know I've never seen you before. My predecessor, Marquis Welrod, was a great man. In many ways. It was very difficult to succeed the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I can't help but compare. I asked Morgan to replace the minister, which made it a lot easier."

What returned was an easy answer for Isaac as well.

"I've been ill under pressure for years".

Isaac knows it's "because it's originally a game," but otherwise there can't be people like Jude.

(No, is there a Maori origin or something in history called 'Conspiracy God'...)

There are some pretty bad guys in Japanese history as well.

Just because Isaac doesn't know, there could be more dangerous people somewhere in this world than Jude.

What is the heavy pressure to inherit after dangerous figures who keep their names in the history of the kingdom?

I sure don't know, and I don't want to know.

"Certainly not after your father... I'm glad Sam took over."

Morgan is only Jude's son and knows his presence well.

And the pressure to take over afterwards.

The gratitude to the Earl of Lancaster would also be genuine.

"I'm glad you said that. This one makes the suggestion easier to say."

Here the Earl of Lancaster cut to the point.

When it comes to talking to the Earl of Lancaster, it's really a topic of physical fitness.

Maybe he was thinking of a flow that would create hard air to say no in advance.

Even if you are a friend, your roots are aristocracy.

If there's a gap, they'll eat it there.

"They don't want the elves far from their residence, but fortunately, Count Lancaster territory is next to Welrod territory. Plus, an elf lives in the woods east of Tilly Hill, a day's distance from Tailor. Count Lancaster's territory is as close as Wellrod's. My realm can accept the elves. That's better. They can work safely too. What do you think, Isaac?

- Instead of demanding graciously, it's only a suggestion.

But it is essentially a demand.

Why I've been asking, because I'm asking about the effectiveness of street maintenance between Wellrod-Tailer.

If a carriage loaded with luggage passes through an evil road, the axle is easily broken due to the added load caused by vibration.

It takes a lot of work to replace the axle, but it takes more time than that.

"I also want the Count of Lancaster to develop the streets, like the Marquis of Wellrod," the merchant who used the streets maintained by the elves said.

So this is how he makes the demand to "bring him to Count Lancaster territory next".

Like the rest of the Marquis, "Where do we prioritize? Where do you take it lightly and put it behind you?" It's not a demand focused on Fumiko.

It was purely about keeping the road in order.

It is also a pleasure for Isaac to know and demand the value of street maintenance in this way.

This request itself may be accepted.

But Isaac has previously taught Randolph not to inadvertently answer.

Before I answer, "I think it's good," I'll see how my grandfather is.

"Surely it might be good in terms of getting used to working in human society in close proximity. Of course you'll have the daily allowance to pay, won't you?

"Absolutely. It turns out cheaper than using civilians in labor."

If we use civilians in labor, we will have less time to put our hands on the field.

If it rains heavily, the road gets wet.

When that happens, we have to order street maintenance again.

Then you'd better pay the elves to make a sturdy, flat road.

Civilians can concentrate on the fields, with more tax revenues in the long run, and the money paid to the elves can be recovered.

And above all, half of the daily allowance paid from the royal family to the elves is covered.

This is what Elias decided to do to promote friendship with the elves.

It makes it easier to ask for work.

I didn't feel any sign from Morgan to say no, so I figured Isaac could think positively, too.

But still avoided instant answers.

"Is there going to be a group of people who want to work first? The Wang Capital has also asked us to develop streets to other Marquis Territory territorial capitals. I would like to see what the elves in the other villages will do before I respond, as Mr Alois and his colleagues will give their voice to the other villages as a result of this meeting. If the number of people seems to gather, we will consider it positively"

Tell them it's up to the elves.

But the answer surprised Count Lancaster.

"It's not strange to say with a bounce that if it's the way things are going right now, I'll ask for it. Especially when it's a success. I'm thinking about how far a job can go depending on the number of people who work properly. Morgan, are you sure it's your grandson? I'm guessing you're not stuffing your father inside, are you?

"I won't do that. I want my father to sleep in peace in heaven. I'll be in trouble if I wake up."

Morgan replied with a bitter smile.

"Well, I just took the word that you could think positively, and now let's try to be good"

Count Lancaster drinks tea.

And eat a tea contract treat.

Isaac also noticed recently when he started responding to people.

When tea shopping is also eaten, it is generally a sign of intent that "this story has come to a close".

If you're not going to change the subject, just stay for tea.

So I decided to shake another story.

Isaac took a sip of tea and moistened his mouth before speaking out.

Speaking of which, Count Lancaster's grandson is my age.

Isaac is concerned about Judith Lancaster, granddaughter of Count Lancaster.

She is one of the victims of Nicole taking her fiancée.

She's a brunette, long-haired girl, commonly known as Sadako Hair.

It is the type to wear and has the setting of having a beautiful girl and a full body under her hair.

He likes fortune telling and has a median of over 90%.

"Hmm? What, you're already into women that year"

"No, no -"

"No, you can't. I'm already engaged to the Count Brander family."

Blocking Isaac's words, Count Lancaster said no first.

(I didn't say anything...)

But to be honest, I was interested.

So it's a clear and hard place to deny it.

"I just wanted to be friends."

"Is that what you mean?... but it would be difficult. Judith is so familiar with people that even girls can hardly get along with each other. A little bigger would ease people's familiarity. Now let's just accept our feelings."

"Really? Too bad."

If you know when you were a kid, the difference you should feel when you grow up is huge too.

I just wanted to see you, and you look really sorry for just a little bit.

"Speaking of which, aren't you going to find this kid a fiancée?

Count Lancaster looked at Isaac and asked Morgan a question.

If you are the successor to the Marquis, it's not strange when you've already decided on a fiancée.

But such stories have not even been rumored in the social world.

Besides, he's the most prominent child in the kingdom today.

The undecided thing is, "Isn't there a reason?," he doubted.

"Well... there's a lot going on. I'm going to set you free until you graduate from Royal College."

"Until graduation...... Oh, you know what?"

Count Lancaster convinced himself on his own.

Isaac's parents, Randolph and Lucia, are romantic marriages.

"Probably dreaming of wanting to get married in love in the same way," he assumed.

"A romantic marriage for two generations... But this kid won't be allowed to do that. I already have a track record."

"I'll take care of that"

"Are you all right?

Isaac is credited with resuming his interactions with the elves.

For this reason, the royal family should try to honor their relatives' daughters or to engage them with the noble daughters of the Wang Party.

Above all, a boy three generations ahead of Jude.

Talk about getting your daughter engaged in an attempt to take in more than you've shown a single scale of talent should be killing you.

If we keep turning them down, Morgan will be in a bad position, too.

Count Lancaster worries about Morgan.

"That's what I promised Isaac. I keep my word."

But Morgan replied with perseverance that there was nothing like that.

"Right. I can't say I'm going to do anything, but if anything happens, I'm going to ask you stupid."

I can't tell you to overturn what your grandfather and grandson decided to do.

Besides, Morgan should know best what happens as a result of the decision.

Count Lancaster didn't say, "reconsider."

"But sometimes the reason I don't make a fiancée is' I have a child of my own, and I can't forget that child '. Well, isn't that true that year?"

"Hahaha," the Earl of Lancaster laughed.

In fact, Morgan had a bitter laugh at the words that poked at his core, and Isaac only came out with a dry laugh "hahahaha......"

----------

Isaac, when he has not responded to the guests, has been taught to study by Norman, who has finally become a secretarial apprentice with Isaac.

Because they thought it was time to do some normal study.

The moral and ethical tutor said, "If it was ineffective in Lord Terrence..." There was no teacher.

So, Norman, who had no choice but to become a secretary apprentice, started teaching from a simple point.

"Do you have something to teach..."

- I couldn't teach you anything.

"Why are you even solving your pre-graduation exam questions!

"Whatever they say..."

(It's at elementary school level. I'm a college graduate even if I'm rotten.)

Even aristocrats have low levels of need.

This also has to do with the fact that elementary and secondary schools do not exist and that colleges only last three years.

But that was enough, unless you were also a scholar with some specialty in this world.

History, which was the biggest problem, also seemed to have no particular problem because I spent my spare time reading novels instead from an early age.

If there's a problem, it's Norman's mentality.

"I can't believe you're losing even though you're over ten years old..."

Isaac scored lightly in a test he couldn't score full.

My pride as an adult is shattered.

(Sure, there's a difference over ten, but you wouldn't actually believe that I'm up there...)

"That's right! You've never done that before! Let's go to the music room."

"What, music!?

"That's right. The art of nobility is also important."

Come on, come on, and hurry Isaac up and take him to the music room.

I guess I was happy to find an area where I could win.

The room Norman took me to was certainly a music room with a splendid grand piano.

Isaac reminds me of the school music room and makes me miss it.

"There was a music room..."

"Well, it's a house of great nobility, so there is. Let's actually touch it."

Norman sits Isaac in the piano seat and lets him touch freely first.

Because I thought Isaac wouldn't break it or hurt it.

First, Doremi - and I touch it in turn.

(I've never touched such a splendid piano object, but the basics are with keyboard harmonica)

Even if the world is different, the basics are the same.

Knowing that, I thought I might be able to do something about this.

"Even the same 'd' changes the height of the sound......"

Norman's words stopped when Isaac started playing.

A novel tune I've never heard before.

Even the sound of swallowing spit was so overheard that I felt it was in my way to hear the song.

(Oh, I can play it. I can play it. It's hard to do with a child's body, but you unexpectedly remember your body)

Isaac on the other hand is an easy-going thing.

You don't have to breathe like a keyboard harmonica to make a sound.

The fact that my fingers were short was difficult because my body was small, but I enjoyed playing.

Now playing is Beethoven's "Moonlight".

This is what I once practiced just in case "the zombie virus has entered the spreading western hall but we will escape safely".

Fortunately, I didn't have a chance to practice, and I don't want such an opportunity in the future.

I'm secretly so horrified that I didn't have to reincarnate into the world of horror games.

Now I think of it as something stupid when I was a kid.

But it's also fun to play on a real piano like this, so I guess it was never in vain.

When the performance is over, Norman applauds.

"When you play so well, there's nothing more to teach."

He has a look like he realized something, like he gave up.

Because of the tension on my first piano, I forgot to ask you to tell me.

That's what they said, and I realized that you had finally smashed Norman's pride.

"That's not true. I can only play this song, and I want you to tell me all about it."

"Also joking. However, can you tell me first what you can't (...)"

Norman seems to have been shown the difference in talent and messed with a little.

Actually, it was due to his experience in previous life, but he didn't know about it, and all he could do was reveal Isaac's talent.

"Uh, so, horseback riding or something? You're basically in the house, so you're not really moving your body."

"Really? Now keep horseback riding and more in the curriculum."

Studies and music showed the difference.

But the Marquis Welrod family is a lineage of civilians from generation to generation.

I think I shouldn't be good at horseback riding and other athletic aspects, and I'm feeling a little better.

"Have you ever ridden a horse..."

Norman looks at Isaac's expression.

"Exactly not. I've been on Patrick's back before."

That Patrick, too, has been feeling heavy about Isaac lately, and when Isaac got on his back he started sitting with Petan saying "I don't want to move".

"I think I can finally teach you," Norman's expression soothed.
