257 Chapter 17-16 Arrival at Albert

"Tempura, you must be very tired."

About a week after I defeated the monster, Albert came from King's Landing to represent the Duke of Sanga.The Duke was supposed to be here at first, but he also needed to talk to the Royal Family about this, and the Duke was supposed to be in charge of you.The fact that the royal family was dealing with the boulders and Albert was heavily loaded meant that he had to change roles with the Duke.

"I helped you to prepare for the wedding during the day of discussion... I can still afford it physically, but I'm mentally tired."

"Half of it is because the temper mishandled it, so I can't help it."

That's what I learned when I first complained to Primera.

When I crushed that monster, when I named the Duke of Sanga to the villagers, I became one of the Duke's leaders, and I was second only to Primera among the Duke of Sanga's officials in Gungjo City, so I had to attend the discussion with or on behalf of Primera.However, he could argue that he had nothing to do with the Duke's name, but in that case, he would force everything on Primera, so he said, "How about that?".

"Well, as a Duke, it was a good opportunity to highlight the relationship with the Tenma, and most of the people who participated in the discussion were very much listening."

With Albert's arrival today, we gathered representatives of the villages around Gungjo to discuss it.It seemed more believable to those representatives than Albert to talk about me, who was known as an adventurer and actually crushed me.Most of the questions were directed at me, not Albert.

So, what about the costume?

"Oh, almost. We'll make the final adjustments and we'll finish when the accessories match."

I threw a round at Felt about this, but Felt understood my situation, so he basically went out to me, so it was pretty helpful.

"Nevertheless, I didn't think that a complete victory without a scratch on the monster would be damaging in Gungjo City.Again, twice in a row. "

In fact, I had less time to prepare food for sudden discussions and so on, so I went to negotiate to ask my uncle to help me in the form of a "request", but the moment I talked about it, my uncle dropped my fist bone on my brain.The old lady rushed in surprised at the voice at that time, but she also dropped her fist when she heard her uncle's story.It's also where your uncle's fist bones fell and where they didn't fit.And I said, "I'm not asking for help, I'm asking for help!The two of them were angry.

"Well, the Master and General of Manabetsu said they were sorry they couldn't attend the Tenma wedding.You must have been angry that you couldn't honestly rely on me. "

Maybe I should have thought about it a little more or talked to Primera before talking about it.

"Nevertheless... how many people in the kingdom can drop their fists on the tempura?If I'm wrong, I can't do anything. "

Albert went on to laugh, saying, "You can do it while you're playing, but you can't do anything else with your father."Except for my grandfather and the people in Kukri Village, there are certainly not many people who can give me fist bones.Anyway, if someone you don't know tries to do that, you're confident you'll fight back with that many times more power.

"If His Majesty or Maria had a good reason, would Tenma complain?In other words, they are in the same position as the King and Queen in a sense. "

When I say that, I feel less and less... At the same time, I feel like I'm underestimating Maria and the King.At least I've never looked down on them... especially Maria-sama, and I think I understand their position, but I suppose there are places where they're babbling because of the royal presence nearby.That's why I'm not going to change the way I treat you, but you'll have to know that's how you see it.

"In many ways, uncle and mother are precious."

"I see. If Manchutei had been an inn outside the Duke of Sanga, it might have been noticed by the aristocrats who were indirectly trying to connect with the temple.Well, no fool would turn the Duke of Sanga into an enemy. "

Albert is laughing, but the nobles will be watching him, not joking.In addition to my relationship with me, I can make recipes such as the confectionery I gave you and dishes based on it, so my cooking skills and knowledge alone should be worth enough.Well, as long as the Duke of Sanga is behind it, it won't be much of a drag, and you won't be able to make any noticeable moves unless you have more power than the Duke.Moreover, "Manabetsu" is an inn for adventurers, and since the old man and the old lady are quite wide with respect to the adventurer, it is likely that someone will notice any suspicious moves.

"And just for the record, the Knights have been watching Manabuttei for a long time.However, rather than having a problem with the "abdominal pavilion", there are a certain number of criminals who hide from adventurers to criminals and adventurers, so it is a place where many adventurers gather.Fortunately, there has never been an adventurer with such a problem as the Knights... "

I assured you that Albert wasn't here, but for a moment he looked at me and stuffed up his words.In a way, I must have been the most suspicious of the adventurers who stayed at the Manabetsu Pavilion.

"It looks like your uncle, your mother, and Mr. Flute were suspicious in the first place, but I've never committed a crime."

"Well, in the case of tempura, it's not a crime to end up (...) effectively (...), but I'm doing quite a lot of threadless things with my fingers.Mainly in the form of excessive (...) excessive (...) taste (...) positive (...) defense (...) for fellow workers and criminal opponents. "

Albert is laughing, but I don't think I'm wrong about this.Because you tried to take money and life from your child, you'd have to break a few bones or get injured with one or two sequelae.

Incidentally, "punching and kicking", "throwing and strangling", "breaking bones and crushing bones", "crushing balls", etc., were the basic countermeasures, and in some cases swordsmanship and magic experimental benches were also used.

"The Knights report said, 'Victims are only tagged or given to cautious people, and there is nothing wrong with life.'At first glance, it was said that the temper was the killer, but no one had witnessed the crime scene, and judging by the usual behavior, it was unlikely that the temper had taken action. "

I thought you'd missed it because there wasn't enough evidence...

"Of course, the greatest reason why the tempers were defeated was because they were criminals or criminal reservists, and also because they were helpful to the Knights.It's troublesome for the Knights to talk about fights between adventurers, and it can't be considered a crime to the extent that it's turned back.It may be a little too much, but adventurers are basically responsible for themselves, and it's ridiculous to work for criminals. "

It seems that I was used in a sense by the Knights.Well, I suppose I was better off not being dragged off as a criminal.

"I want to tell you to do your job properly, but I'm also an adventurer, so I'm saying, 'Self-responsible'... well, I didn't register officially, but 'Self-registered (...) adventurers' was longer."

Although I have only been an officially registered adventurer in Gungjo, I have been using the Adventurer Alliance for about two years during an unregistered period (under the age of fifteen).Therefore, my shoulders during the unregistered period will be "ordinary person (minor)" or "traveler (minor)", so the fact that the Knights were using me can be said to be a kind of abandonment of work or an outrageous Knights....

"In the case of Tenma, in addition to his personal strength and creepiness, he had a suspicion of the nobility's son.You decided it would be easier to pretend you didn't see it than to get involved badly.If he was really a noble associate, he would have stepped on the idea that if he was in danger, he would have an escort. "

The Duke of Sanga's Primera must have been the first to get involved with me.

That's going to change the story, but can we see how we can take care of monsters in the future?

"I still don't know if it will improve, but I think it will be quite easy.At least as before, there may be fewer scenes that move at the expense of something. "

Since it is almost certain that the weakness of monsters is the magic nucleus of the chest, it is quite significant to be able to fight for weaknesses.Even at times of disadvantage, it is also a hope for those who are fighting that a single reversal of the situation can be left if even the Magic Nucleus can be destroyed.However, the monsters are not weakened by the knowledge of weaknesses, and the relative damage will remain largely unchanged.

"Still, are you glad you're more likely to survive?"

"There are also more options to focus attacks on the Magic Nucleus.For example, a few knights can stop the monster and take a powerful blow from the Golem in the meantime. "

There may also be other methods that the jinn used against Hydra before, such as stopping the movement and removing the Magic Nuke.

"Do I have to think about using rope hunting and" castle hammer "operation in the future... anyway, there shouldn't be anyone in the Knights today who can use rope capturing and so on... Is it quick to hire someone who can be used from the outside due to an emergency?"

"I think that's good.If we don't hurry, the miserable user will be taken to the royal family, and the Marquis of Sammons will move to secure it.By the way, I can't use it, so I can't teach you. "

I've shaken the rope like a cowboy in my previous life, but my experience and knowledge won't help.Incidentally, I've yearned for an archaeologist and waved a whip (like)... but when I didn't use it in this world, it wasn't for me.It's a murder weapon that does a lot of damage not only to the surroundings, but also to yourself when amateurs do half the fun.Well, that would be a lot of weapons.

"Then you must hurry and tell your father.At the same time, we should ask all the Adventurers Guilds in the Duke of Sanga to hire or invite as instructors those who can use shackles. "

I don't think you need to be an adventurer, but if you're counting it as a force, it's quick for an adventurer who knows how to fight at all.Even villagers may be able to gather as instructors or reserves depending on their abilities, but if they gather poorly, the village's workforce may be reduced, so it would be more convenient for the Duke to say it in a bad way, but in the worst case, an adventurer who can be used to crush it is more convenient for the Duke.They treat me like a bastard, but with the exception of some adventurers, it's a normal profession to be treated like that.

"So, how long before the temples return to King's Landing?"

"It's time for me and Primera to come back.If it's all over, I'd like to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but there's more to it than I thought... I'm thinking of extending my stay and getting my uncle to help me mass produce extra and extra dishes for weddings and reunions. "

For the time being, Jeanne and Aura have been able to create people whose stay has been extended, but it is better than not enough, so I think we should still increase it.However, since it seems to taste the same as me and Jeanne, I'm thinking of asking my uncle and mother to help me.I just got angry about that, so even if you ask me for an extra one, you'll be able to take over.

"For me, I'm glad Tempura and Merlin stayed.The stories of those who actually fought and defeated monsters are all the information that the Royal Family doesn't have so far. "

Some royalists and neutrals, including the Royals and the Duke of Sanga, have made a promise to share information about monsters, but bringing that information to the forefront can be an advantage in the form of selling thanks.And even though the Duke of Sanga discovered a friendly attack on the monster this time, and I didn't know that I discovered it, I fought as an associate of the Duke of Sanga, so Albert wants to be a little more thankful for selling.

"I'd like to tell you not to go too far and buy Maria-sama's discomfort, but this time I'm on the Duke of Sanga's side too... if I don't do as well, the Otori family will be royal... or Maria-sama will be possible."

I'm joking half the time, but I think it might be true in some cases if it were Maria, so Albert would understand.

"... well, let's be careful... or it would be helpful if you gave me some advice before that."

As I thought, Albert left the decision to me.Well, the monster information is basically mine and my grandfather's, and if Albert's actions could cause him to escape and even make his relationship with the royal family worse, the Duke of Sanga won't shut up.

In the meantime, I'll tell Primera and Grandpa this story, so be careful of them both.

I was able to manipulate Albert at my own discretion, so I decided to involve Grandpa, the other party, and Primera, who might stand between me and the Duke.This is also a role like braking for me, but if I think about Albert, the more people I have to worry about, the more burden I may have.

Well, that happened, and I returned to the Duke's mansion with Albert saying that there was still a discussion with officials in Gungjo, and explained the situation to the two of them, and they were fine with it.

However, Grandpa's judgment is based on the interests of the Otori family, but Primera's judgment is based on the interests of the Duke of Sanga as much as possible.This is not because Primera is more important to the Duke, but simply because she wants to be the brake for me and my grandfather.

"It's possible that oniisama might want to make a mistake, but I don't think it's a good idea for everyone to think only about the toad family, and that's what Tenma expects of me."

And he seemed to understand me completely.Well, the power relationship between the siblings is likely to be considerably higher with Primera, as Albert's tether seems to be tightly restrained.

"So Primera was wearing a costume at Felt's, right? How was it?"

"Yes, it seems that there is no problem.There was no particular problem with the balance between Mr. Tenma's costume, and he said it would be fine as it is. "

One of the wedding issues was the balance between me and Primera's costume.This is the city of Gunjo, where I'm in charge of my costume, and Primera's costume is a Duke craftsman (visiting or visiting a city with the Duke), so I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it directly, and it was possible that it would get strange when I actually wore it side by side.

So he decided to balance his costume by exchanging letters between Felt and the Duke's craftsmen.This time, the reason I let Felt see Primera's costume and leave the judgment to him is basically because the male costume is more plain, so I decided to match the details to Primera's costume. Primera said that this is the shape in which the craftsman cares about the felt on the side that matches the high degree of freedom of production.

"I'm glad there was no problem.If you're wearing a Primera costume, I'll let you enjoy the show. "

When Felt compared the costumes, Primera would have seen mine, but I was a little embarrassed to see the other person's costume otherwise, so I just told her I was looking forward to it in action.I guess I've grown up somewhat since I was able to use these words.

"Hmm... why don't we discuss our future plans later?It's going to have to be changed a lot later than we originally planned, so it might resonate on our wedding day. "

Grandpa made fun of me and Primera, and there was a slightly awkward atmosphere between them, but Grandpa was absolutely right that we had to discuss it, so we both decided what to do in the future with our faces red.

"Tenma, when are you going back to King's Landing?"

Sometimes I felt so embarrassed, and at dinner that day Amur asked me about my plans for the future.Primera and Grandpa knew, but Amur and the others didn't, so they naturally interrupted the meal and talked.

"I plan to leave the city of Gungjo in three to four days at the latest and return to King's Landing in about two weeks.It's a lot worse than we originally planned, but on our way back to Seigen, we're not going to change. "

If it were true, I would have reported Amy's situation and my marriage to her family in Seigen by now, but when I realized that my stay would be prolonged due to the monster disturbance, I could not stop by because I had already informed her in a letter that I would be late.In the first place, formally, I'm supposed to be in charge of Amy in King's Landing, so I don't have a choice but not because my plans are crazy.

How long will you be staying in Seigen?

"For the time being, it's been two days.Just say hello to Jin and the Tamers Guild, and to Amy's family and Ganz's parents.However, the report to Amy's family may take time, so it may take up to three days. "

Answering Jeanne's question, everyone seemed to have no further questions and the meal resumed.The dinner of the day was enjoyed by everyone eating, drinking and talking better than usual, thanks to their vision for the future.

However, in contrast to us, Albert, who came home tired from the discussions until late at night, was lonely in his room eating leftovers.
