Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

”That sounds... difficult, doesn't it?”

The “value” of marrying Toya.

For the time being, I have prepared 1,000 gold coins as a cash payment so that I can give them out if I need to.

If the Marmont family is a poor nobleman, this might make some sense, but the Marmont family is a historic marquis.

Not only the Mansion, but the prosperous town of Valm Gré doesn't seem to be in trouble for money.

From the common people, there is not enough money, and from the Marquis's house, there is not enough "value".

The only other thing I could be proud of was my adventurer's rank, but there were only six of them.

It's more trustworthy than ordinary adventurers, but it's not that rare, it's not as powerful as an aristocrat, and it's not as effective as a replacement.

Even the Viscount's house, if you ask if the Marquis's house is worth it...

I'd like to support my best friend Toya's love affair if possible... is that it?

I'm sorry to hear that, but how about a strong drink to comfort Toya?

Thinking of that, I roared small, but the Marquis of Marmont looked at me and Toya and laughed.

"I don't think so, do I?" If Toya becomes an aristocrat, that's fine. "

………

"... does that mean you can't get married?"

Toya was silent when he was told that he would not marry unless he was an aristocrat.

When I asked instead of Toya, the Marquis of Marmont raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Huh? I didn't say that, did I?"

But--

"Father, aren't they familiar with the nobility of this country?"

Master Raymond interrupted me to block my objection.

And the Marquis of Marmont stared at him like he was being vanished, and nodded, "... ahhh."

“So that's it. -How well do you know how the nobility of this country works?”

"Well... the nobility's status is not necessarily secure."

To put it very simply, the incompetent aristocrats descended from generation to generation and eventually became commoners.

However, if you study seriously and work for the country, there is no problem, and if you do not commit a scandal, you will not fall into the ranks of civilians easily.

--I thought so, but Master Raymond nodded and shook his head lightly.

As a matter of fact, it's not uncommon for a nobleman to fall on a common man.

Is that so?

"Yes. Of course, it is rare to be a count or a marquis, and the same applies to the nobility of the territory, but the nobility of the law is different." Many of them are aristocrats appointed by their ancestors for their merits, but such masterpieces are not produced over generations. "

I said that if you study and work for the country, in fact, it seems that it is difficult to study in itself.

Historical aristocrats have accumulated considerable know-how, and there will be people looking for teachers, but emerging aristocrats face difficulties at this point, and many give up and choose to live on a pension without working.

Even if you pass the examination and become a bureaucrat, if you commit some kind of scandal there, it will be difficult to get a responsible position for two or three generations.

As a result, after several generations, we will reach the civilian population safely.

”That's... pretty harsh, isn't it?”

“Depending on how we look at it, but the fact that this metabolism is a force in our country, and that even count, marquis, and nobility in our territory can be descended in some cases, helps to keep us conscious.”

It seems that this country does not have a tyrannical lord, but if it is considered to have caused damage to the country, it can be relatively easily descended and changed, so it is somewhat prevented.

However, the interests of the nation and the interests of the common people do not always coincide, so some territories like Baron Diaz's have visited before.

"In other words, there are nobles who will be newly appointed." It is in this country that the common people will be singled out for merit. If you guys are adventurers, it would be a shortcut to make a name for yourself. "

Unlike adventurers from other countries, adventurers who have been active in this country can join the nobility's last seats if they achieve some sort of feat and achieve a rank of about 8, even if they are not 9 or 10.

There are also cases where we make enormous donations to the country, or we throw in private property such as water treatment and town maintenance, etc., but as expected, this is impossible for us.

"It is sometimes said that other countries can buy titles with gold, etc., but if it is just a result, it will disappear in a few generations, and if it can maintain the titles, it is an excellent family. Better than making incompetent aristocrats stick out."

Lord Raymond partitioned his words there once and turned his gaze toward Toya with a serious look.

"... I mean, do I have to aim for that too?"

"I'd rather marry Leah, the eldest daughter of the Marquis family, than be able to do this." Don't you think so? "

I was thinking that I might be told to get a regular job, but it was a little unexpected that I would be told to become an aristocrat.

But if you think about it, it's right, and it's right.

Whether it's a sideline spear against Leah marrying a commoner or a toya from anyone's point of view, there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm sure Torya understood that too.

"Mmm..." he leaked his words, his arms folded with a difficult face, but Leah shook her hands in a panic.

"W-Well, I'm not such a big deal--"

"No, I can't argue at all." Hooray! For Leah's sake, you need to be a nobleman! ”

"Toya...?"

Toya blocked the voice that tended to leak in confusion, and Leah turned to Torya.

Toya stared back at the face and took Leah's hand.

"Leah, I desperately climbed the ranks of the adventurers." So, can you wait a little longer? "

"Of course, of course!" Rather, let me help you too!! "

Thank you, Leah!

A beautiful sight at first glance.

However, reality is not so sweet, and relatively realistic Yuki and Natsuki sandwich their mouths.

"But, Toya, it usually takes ten years to climb the adventurer ranks to eight." Why are you keeping Leah waiting so long? I don't know about that, I guess. "

"That's right. That's exactly what age is..."

Ugh!

In the original world, Leah is still of marriageable age after ten years.

However, from the common sense of this country, it is unfortunate to be late.

It is time to give up marriage.

If Leah, the eldest daughter of the Marquis, could stay married until such an age, it would be quite difficult.

And the Marquis of Marmont opens his mouth with a smile, as if he were riding a nut horse.

Of course, I can't do Leah to such a man, right?

"Ugh...... If you try hard to die, half, no, about one-third..."

"Hey, you can't do that."

That's right. If I die, I won't have any children.

Hulka nodded in the same way when she stopped Torya in a hurry to say something outrageous.

Our big policy is' take care of your life '.

Even if it involves Toya's reborn purpose of marrying the beast's ears, I am not going to change that policy.

"As expected, I don't want to make Leah sad." that's why.... "

It was the Marquis of Marmont who said something with an interesting expression on his face.

"You're a long story."

Emile-sama interrupted me, and I was stuck with the words "Ugh."

However, when Emile showed Meatier that she was a little busy after finishing her treats, she nodded tinyly and looked back.

"Did you shake too much?" --Okay, let's take a break. "

The cold tea was exchanged by the servants without touching their hands, and a refill was placed in front of Meatiers, and now the same thing is placed in front of us.

“You're a little nervous, aren't you? Take a breath, and don't hesitate to eat."

Thank you very much, I'm sorry!

»» »Thank you» »

It wasn't quite right, but I was sure I wanted to take a breath.

Take a sip of tea and wake up to a plate of sweets.

There are three numbers. Could it be a financier a little bigger for the purpose I saw?

It may vary in size, but at least the financier Halka used to make was a little smaller and lighter in color.

It's not burnt, and the type of wheat and the ingredients used are different.

Since it was accompanied by a fork, I thought it would be good if I ate it with it, but the manners... and the way the family ate it was very different when I looked at the marquis.

The Marquis of Marmont is as opulent as it looks, spilling it all over his mouth and chewing it.

Leah, Emile, and, a little unexpectedly, Raymond ate it in a slice.

No, because Master Raymond is handsome, isn't he strange?

The grace of carrying a tea cup around your mouth - really, the son of the Marquis of Marmont?

Well, it's the three of us who should be apprenticed.

It seems that the manners don't include the May Tsukuba, but the impression is important.

I'll split the financhette in half with a fork and carry it to my mouth.

The first thing you can feel is the smell of butter.

Some people may not like it because it's a little tight, but this is not it.

The next thing to come is a slightly rich sweetness that feels sticky.

Is this brown sugar?

Metia is crispy and delicious, but there is a weight in the sweetness that tastes different from granulated sugar, and it is a little bit spicy to eat.

Metia said it was as good as the sweets the Hulkas make, but I think the Hulk will have a good army to their liking.

Nevertheless, the sweets that were put out at the corners.

I thought it might be rude to leave more than half, so I went to the second one and put it in my mouth--

"Well, in conclusion, Nao. You've become an aristocrat."

"--NGGGG!?"
