Almost at the same time Amy noticed the person calling her name, the woman called Eliza also noticed Amy and smiled. And after a light interview with me, he immediately moved to Amy's.
"Sorry, I apologize on behalf of Eliza..."
"Well, it's the usual thing..."
I replied to Albert's apology in a way that I didn't care because it was the usual thing. In fact, my grandfather and I don't really care if our heartfelt friends feel that way because of our long country life and wandering journey. Well, in the last few years, I don't even feel that one family has made those ideas stronger...
While Albert and I were having our usual interactions, Cain and Lyon walked into the dining room with Aina's guide to take their seats, eating tea and sweets. This is also a sight as usual.
Honestly, it's a pain in the ass to have this interaction like every other time, so I hope Albert is as dignified (grunts) as the two of us, but there's a reason (...) that Albert has, and it doesn't work either.
But for some reason, Eliza is Albert's fiancée. In other words, since Eliza's actions, which will be the next Duchess of Sanga in the near future, could still lead to the reputation of the Duchess of Sanga as such, Albert had to apologize for the form alone. I once asked if I could be as comfortable as the three of them (Cain + Lion + Eliza) where no one else has eyes, but Albert's answer was, "I'm used to being comfortable and I'm afraid of poking around elsewhere, so I want to keep my mind tight from now on".
Although the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons gently advised him that he was "too careful" and "too hasty," he didn't say anything more, especially. Grandpa said, "If you're going to fail, you think you should be young," so maybe he really thinks so. By the way, unlike Albert, Eliza doesn't seem to care much about public and private usage. In fact, when we bowled together with the king and Maria, even if it was unintentional, we never wore it out.
"Amy, please be my sister."
"Uh..."
At this rate, Eliza always solicits (...) Amy. Why do you like Amy so much, there was an incident about two years ago when she accidentally went into the back alley while Amy was shopping in Wang Capital and was attacked by a crowd grab. At that time, Eliza, who happened to pass nearby, rushed to notice something strange and joined forces to return the favor.
At that time, I liked Amy and tried to adopt her as my own home (parent) to be my sister-in-law, but I had a past where Albert, my fiancée, and Eliza's parents, who knew about me, got mad at me. Still, she asked Amy out every time she was convinced that there would be no problem. By the way, the guys who tried to grab Amy were bogged down by the golems of the escort I was letting them have, in addition to Amy and Eliza and three of them, and the guards who heard the noise and rushed, they didn't know which one was the criminal at first.
"Eliza, come on! Amy would be in trouble!
"Eh... you're not in trouble, are you?
"hahaha......"
At all times, solicitation is the norm for Albert to end with attention to Eliza. I wish Amy would say no clearly, but this is always how it was going to be because Amy herself didn't hate Eliza and I can just say that it's connected the other way around.
Introducing Eliza here, she is a nobleman of the same school age as Albert and his real name is' Elizabeth von Silfeld '. My parents are royal countess houses, which hit my oldest daughter.
Despite his constant excellence in magic classes at the school, he was ranked almost the same as Lion overall, and he's not convinced about it. That's not because Eliza can't do anything other than magic, but because Lion was superior in body surgery (he was a brain muscle) enough to flip magic and academic handouts in the school.
Originally, it seems that the Earl of Sylphide family was a home where someone who excelled in the magic of the wind was pleased, and the descendants of the Sylphides (first generation lords) are more adept at wind magic than other magic, whatever the degree of difference. Among other things, Eliza is not very good at wind magic, and instead she is good at 'thunder magic', a rare figure in the history of the Sylphides. Well, Eliza, her parents and relatives don't really care about the matter, 'there will be such things', but other nobles... especially from the reformist nobility, have they ever been slapped in the pussy with 'Eliza is a child born of her mother's iniquity'?
It should also be noted that the nobility of the Sylphides and their collaborators who were angry at the matter revealed the fact that the nobles who had slapped their pussies were more mass-producing the wrongdoers, and that they would still focus on the liquor store (drunk) as a joke known to those who knew? By the way, let me or my grandfather (who is familiar with magic) say, "Thunder magic" is magic supposedly derived from "wind magic," so it doesn't seem strange to think it's unusual.
Eliza is the first hairstyle I've seen in this world, a twin drill with blonde hair (which seems to have been popular about two to thirty years ago, and I don't see much of it these days because of the difficulty of care), and she has a crisp body shape about 170 cm tall. Sometimes people who don't know say, "I'm looking down on people" or "It's a high-speed car," but the person doesn't even feel like it, and he's clearly like it or not, but basically he can be described as a good guy. It should be noted that children are popular because of their rare hairstyles, and that Eliza herself and child lovers often face the orphanage run by her parents and the orphanage in Wangdu. By the way, his nickname seems to be "Drill's Sister," or "Guru's Sister."
"By and large, it wouldn't make sense if you were so forceful and Amy hated you. It's more likely than not, even though there's a way to make it my sister without any problems."
"What the hell!
Eliza responds loudly to Cain's words (where he makes them his sister). By the way, I know how to do this because I've been asked about it before without Eliza, but it's a lot of trouble, so I evacuated the dining room.
"So, is Lion running some errands on me, too? Or did you become a man stalker in earnest?
Lion was following me out of the dining room, so he rushed towards me to make fun of me for getting tangled up in old things. When Lion acts suspiciously like this, it is very easy to understand than the other two because it is mostly a time for hindsight.
"No, the... take this!
That's what Lion took out of his nostalgia, two letters...
"What! That's what you two are..."
And Chris showing up on such occasions... I think he probably came running away from Aina (with a lover) and Eliza (with a fiancée), but I can't believe he showed up at this moment... the timing is so good that I really want to suspect he was sneaking around in the shadows.
"I understand that there are such hobbies and preferences in the world, and I'm not going to accuse you unless you're forced to get involved... Lion, I'm sorry but hit me with something else"
"No, that's trouble! Because they're definitely telling me to give this to Tenma and I'm keeping it!
"Who told you that? Oh no... Tenma, you're not even using me to make weird pennies, are you?
To my joke, Lion tried to hand me the letter forcefully in a rather hurry. And Chris, who saw it, seemed to suspect that Lion was also the delivery guy who was going to write to me. Normally I don't think I'd get to that idea, but I guess Mr. Chris is more rough than usual with Eina and Eliza now.
"I dare to take it... but I guess it's not really a weird letter, is it? Like a love sentence?
I received the letter as a reminder and when I opened the seal and read the letter inside, I could see why Lion seemed to be making it difficult to give it to me.
"Lion, does Maria and the king know about this? If you don't know, it's gonna be pretty tricky."
"I'm fine. With His Majesty's approval in advance, I have received the word that it depends on the tenma"
Lion suddenly turned into a serious face and said the rooting was complete.
"So, what does the letter say?
Chris seemed concerned about the contents of the letter, but did not imitate peeping in from the side on his own. I guess that's not just because Maria and the king came out in the story, but because they noticed the family crest pressed against the seal placed on the envelope of the letter.
The family crest on this envelope is a 'howling wolf' and represents Lyon's home, the 'House Border Uncle'. And the fact that Lion, who can use the family crest, has been "deposited" means that a person from the House Border House other than Lion is the sender, in which he can root for the king and can use Lion, the "Next House Border House Owner", as a messenger, I know who wrote the letter first.
"In short, it says Uncle Haust wants me to help him."
"Hmm... So, Tenma, you take that request (...)? Tenma, what His Majesty said it was up to you wasn't a compulsory request or a nomination request, was it?
Compulsory requests basically refer to situations involving national defence and those put out in crisis such as the city or village where they are staying, with some exceptions on the part of the adventurer there is no right of veto. Sometimes turning it down can be a worst case scenario and impose penalties that disqualify you as an adventurer. And apart from that, the meaning behind it is that nobles and other powerful people use their own power to force adventurers to take requests.
The nomination request, as its name suggests, is to nominate the adventurer that the client would like to receive, but since this has the right of veto on the adventurer's side, there is no problem in saying no (...). However, disadvantages can occur later, as clients such as those making nomination requests are, for the most part, 'managers of large chambers of commerce' or 'nobles' or those with strong influence over the Adventurer Guild. I've heard stories of people getting cold-handed out of Adventurer Guilds, selling tools and gear for defective products… Sometimes they say that in terrible things, they were suddenly attacked by a fellow who was partying and had to retire the adventurer. Its betrayed companions are those employed by the 'managers of the great chambers of commerce' and 'nobles', who, even if they complain to the guild, are not guilty because they are turning their hands behind them, but rather suppose to have had an affair with those who were attacked the other way around. Most recently, due to the development of the law, such things are rarely heard, but it is just not out of the ordinary, and it is said that they are still being done behind them.
For once in my case, they think I'm an adventurer being spit on by royalty from around me, so they think I have to say no to the Kings in advance when I make a nomination request. Therefore, there have not been many requests for nominations from non-royalty people before, and even if there are, there are only people close to Kukri Village, the Duke of Sanga, etc. Because I remember the royal family well, there is a temptation from my colleagues, but it is helpful because I am able to work easily without (much) unscrupulous orders due to requests from people with a sense of heart.
The request that Lion brought in that was a request for help in territorial defense. Anything, it seems that some nobles in the neighboring 'Gilst Republic' are making moves that can be taken as military operations near the Haust Border Uncle territory, and when they tried to alert the knights of the Haust Border Uncle in preparation, they were unluckily found elsewhere a herd of demons. That's two at the same time.
One seems to be a flock of goblins, like the one we encountered in the south before, with an estimated 2,000. This is the main group of adventurers working in the Houst Border Border Border Territory, and they're going to send knights the size of platoons (about fifty) or squadrons (a few platoons, about two hundred).
And the second. This is why Uncle Haust tried to call me in to help. That's...
"A flock of Wyburn..."
An estimated thirty or so of Wyburn's herds, supposedly for breeding, have settled in the mountains on the peripheral lands.
The Knights of the House Border House, also said to be proud of their strength to contend for one or two in the kingdom, but the House Border House ruled that it was impossible to send reinforcements to surrounding towns and villages with adventurers who would deal with the Goblin herd while paying attention to the Guild Republic on the boulder, and to deal with the Wyburn herd further, the House Border House said. Well, if the reputation of Borderline Uncle's power is nothing short of rumours, I don't think it's absolutely impossible just for the Knights of Borderline Uncle. But I'm pretty sure you'll suffer a lot of damage instead, and if you do poorly, your border with the Guild Republic may change. So at least Uncle Borderline's judgment won't be wrong.
But I thought I was more likely than not to make a direct request to me. That doesn't mean criticizing Uncle Borderline, but from those who don't know anything about my relationship with Uncle Borderline, they think it's a very dangerous friendship. Of course, we can't say it's completely off target because we're not close, but at least we don't have the same grievances and disgust as we used to. I guess that has to do with the fact that I got to know Lyon and his image of the House Border House has changed, and that time has passed and it seems that there was nothing I could do about that case. So,
"Let me take this request. Wyburn's herd is the opponent, so they'll play the reward for it. And while the request is accepted in 'Oracion', Aura and Jeanne are in some cases allowed to evacuate to a safe place in the middle of the request. Still okay?
"No problem, it helps. I'll tell my dad about the two as a choreographer on the team, and there won't be a problem if we make sure the rewards are paid on a party-by-party basis. After that, let's make sure we can pay them individually according to merit."
Unfortunately, the general terms and conditions were determined on this occasion, and the amount of the reward was to be negotiated directly with Borderline Uncle. Normally, it is a matter of deciding whether or not to accept the request with the amount offered, but it is unlikely that it will be unduly priced or not paid for only this time. Because Lyon has agreed to the terms as our proxy (...), and most importantly, he has spoken to the Royal Family in advance. If this makes you reluctant to pay, it's like doing something to mud the royal face. A decent nobleman wouldn't do that first. If that is the royal town, it is a matter of displeasure.
"I'm going to get ready now and leave soon, but what about Lion? You want to come with us?
"Please. For once, we have put forward requests for reinforcements to those belonging to the Borderline Uncle and to the nobles in the cooperative system, like the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons, but not too many of them will be expected. If there are too many boulders, the neighbors may be too wary."
If we had indeed largely assembled other knights of aristocracy and kept them near the border, the other side might also place them dignified on the pretext. And for some reason, he'll be glad to attack in. It doesn't matter which cause the trigger is. That would put at a disadvantage the House Border Berber side, which has the problem of goblin herds and Wyburn herds.
In that case, it is conceivable that the Guilst Republic will cut off the territory as it is if it wins, and claim its rights to the land, and that even if it loses, it will withdraw from the territory of the House Border Uncle with all the possible harassment.
"Well, I'll leave that to Uncle Haust. When it comes to what I'm going to do, do something about the Wyburn herd as soon as possible, just in case it feels like waiting near the Knights of the Boundary...?
You can leave the difficult things to the houst border uncles and kings. Instead, Wyburn has to deal with it responsibly. Actually, this request, it's risky to take it from me as well as the Houst Border Uncle.
Uncle Haust's risk is, 'Forget what you did to me and use it only when it's convenient?' It's reputational damage. No matter how appealing this is to me and the House Borderline Bird side to be in friendship, there may be no choice because some people don't understand it enough to be sure, or ignore it and make a scene.
By contrast, my risk is that if I fail this request or do a great deal of damage, they may say, 'I have given back my interest to Uncle Haust Borderline because of my past'. Even if the damage occurs, there may be no problem if Uncle Haust says that the matter is' within the bounds of expectation ', but there will still be noisy people out there.
Instead, there's a lot to be gained.
I told everyone that I had decided to accept a request from Uncle Haust Border, and when I talked about the content and the risks, I immediately noticed the magnitude of what my grandfather would get.
"Right. First of all, fame. I forgot about the past and stood up to the flock of Wyburn to help the Houst Frontier Uncle... I guess that's how they say it. It is also significant that Uncle Haust Border made a request to me after he first spoke to the King. As a result, from now on, there will be a drastic reduction in the number of requests for nominations directly from strange places. Honestly, I haven't had a problem with the money, so far the adventurer family business is like a hobby, and now I have no problem just taking whatever requests I want. Well, I guess I'll have to take some requests not to feel comfortable so they don't disqualify me..."
"Besides, the reward from the Borderline House is bigger than the material from Wyburn that defeated them."
I guess I'll have to give some of it to the Borderline House, but still most of the material will be able to claim my rights... well, for the moment, it's not for the calculation of raccoons I won't take, but there won't be a Slalin and his grandfather who can't defeat Wyburn at all.
"I'm here too, it's okay!
Amur seems to be on board, too. As for Amur, there was talk of going back to the south once, so I thought I would exclude him from this request, but he seems willing to follow.
"But, Mr. Tenma, when a flock of Wyburns are opponents of a boulder, aren't we short on numbers?
To Chris's doubts, I've counted the number of fingers folded, but certainly not enough people at all considering I'm dealing with a bunch of Wyburns. So far the participants are......
"Eight from 'Oracion' (except Jill and Gol in Ryden), of which Jeanne and Aura are out of battle. To the three fools of Albert, Cain, and Lion, twelve in Mr. Chris (...)... well, normally I'm not talking about where it's not enough, but there's me and Grandpa, and if it's just a few, just give me the golem, and I'll be fine!
If there were a thousand golems, it would be enough. That's right. When I was telling everyone, Chris, who was thinking back to my words, said, "Wait a minute. Whoa!," he exclaimed.
"Why am I in numbers, too? You won't get enough time off to accompany Boulder on that request. In the first place, the captain couldn't have allowed it."
"Uh-huh... In a letter from the captain I got with me, I said, 'If it's the Kingsguard guy, you can take one guy who's free (...) and use him. Anyone can do that.'"
When Mr. Chris flips the letter from me, he reads it over and over and even sees and confirms the signatures in the letter from various angles.
Speaking of which, I had a letter from the Kingsguard addressed to you.
I just took a letter from my nostalgia that Lion just remembered and tried to give it to Mr. Chris, who was robbing me at the time I sent out the letter. And Chris reads the letter...
"This doesn't mean you nominated me from the beginning!
The letter to me said 'Anyone', but the letter to Chris said 'Come and help the adventurers who go to Uncle Haust's Frontier'. Well, basically, there's only one person in the busy Kingsguard who 'is likely to be right around me, plus currently' free ', so I guess when this story came out, it was decided from the beginning that Mr. Chris would be chosen.
"Don't you dare, let's go with this. Worst of all, if you unleash 'Tempest', the Wyburn herd will be able to crusade... well, it could be devastating all around."
Grandpa and Chris seemed to understand the meaning of the line whining so that it didn't sound like Lion, and looked sorry for Lion. By the way, they haven't both seen 'Tempest' directly, but they've seen sites using 'Tempest', heard from people in Kukri Village, and they know the general power. It should be noted that the two of them saw the site when Grandpa looked for me shortly after the incident, and Mr. Chris said he was on his way to investigate the dragon zombie and my investigation by order of the King. They both said they thought it was Dragon Zombie's fault at first, but later they heard witnesses and decided it was my magic.
"Anyway, the sooner we get to the Borderline Uncle, the better, so I'm going to get ready tomorrow and leave King's Capital the day after tomorrow. Lyon's story says we usually get there in a month, so we aim to get there in those half fortnight. We can also think of going into Wyburn's flock crusade shortly after arrival, so don't fail to prepare for each one. Eina asks to manage the mansion while she's away. I'll tell Uncle Mark and the others about taking care of Jubeye and Mary, so you can take care of them. Then dissolve!
Well, in the case of "Oracion," even when it comes to preparing for adventure, they just put what they think they need from one end in a magic bag or a dimension bag, so let the Jins (other adventurers) tell them that they envy how not to think about weight, etc. That's the privilege of someone who can make their own magic bags and dimension bags.
