265 Chapter 18-7 Lindo

"I'm sorry I got involved in your trip."

After the Unicorn disturbance, the Duke of Sanga called me to his room and lowered his head when he arrived safely at the Duke's Mansion in Lindo.

The Unicorn disturbance began when a merchant caught by the guards teamed up with several adventurers to capture a Unicorn pony, which is not illegal in itself because there is no rule against hunting or capturing unicorns.The problem was that he dismantled the pony in a village not so far from where he caught the unicorn, escaped with the smell of blood left behind before the day changed, and did the same in two other villages while he was on the run.As a result, three villages were devastated by the furious Unicorn, causing a catastrophe of many dead and seriously wounded.

The Unicorn ran off, news of a devastated village came to us, and we brought the bodies of the merchants and their associates to the Adventurers Guild in a hurry, so we stopped them for two days to check on the confirmation work and our relationship with the merchants (which was immediately judged irrelevant).

"Together, the three villages account for more than 100 deaths and serious injuries, and more than 300 minor injuries.However, as far as the two villages on the Duke's side are concerned, the damage is less than one-third each. "

And the thing that bothers the Duke of Sanga the most is that this incident didn't just happen in his own territory.

The unicorn was captured and dismantled in the neighboring Vicomte's territory, and the runaway unicorn was defeated and the merchant was captured in the Duke's territory, and I, the Duke's daughter's son-in-law, was captured.The damage to the village on the Vicomte's side was great, but one, and two villages on the Duke's side were damaged.Besides, there is a power relationship between the Vicomte and the Duke, and the biggest problem is,

"The merchant, he said, was in the hands of the Vicomte.Well, the Vicomte is not involved in this case. "

The main culprit is the merchant of the Vicomte.

The information that your merchant (originally unknown) is being pursued by Unicorn seems to have come from the Vicomte family on a super express when we were strangled by the Alliance, and the Vicomte sent it in a hurry after hearing that Unicorn had broken out in his own territory and headed for Duke territory.

As a result, it seems that Unicorn did not reach the Duke before he attacked the Duke's village, but I suspected it was a fabrication to deceive him because I was too skilled.But the Duke of Sanga, who knew the Vicomte well, decided it wouldn't be.But from someone like me who doesn't know the Vicomte, you'll find it suspicious, and you'll have to make it a victim.

"The Vicomte immediately seized all of the merchant's property and focused on compensating the victims this time.They're going to give it to me from the Vicomte... but it won't be enough to convince the victim. "

The Duke can also be said to be the victim of this incident, so the Duke is offering to compensate the Duke.The Duke of Sanga, however, said that he would not accept it by saying, "If we can afford to turn it around, turn it over to those who have suffered harm." Moreover, he said that he would give a gift from the Duke's house.

"The Ootori family should also offer a gift to the victims of this incident."

"Thank you for doing that."

The Ootori family (we) defeated the unicorn and captured the merchant (Hannin). They approached us but were attacked, so it is the victim's position, but I defeated the unicorn alone, so I took all the materials of the unicorn and won by one person.

If we just warmed up our noses, the public anger and suspicions that were initially directed toward the Vicomte would undoubtedly also be directed toward the Ootori family.

That's why, as a geek, we need to make a token to avoid that criticism.The Duke of Sanga knows exactly what he might have said, so he won't say anything about the promotional money.However, I was told not to give the promotional money out of the profit from selling the unicorn this time.If you do that, you'll have a record of selling the valuable Unicorn, so now you can say, "You should have more!They say it's because of the criticism.

If you really want to sell a unicorn, the Duke told you to buy it secretly... because the ingredients of the unicorn are a precious item that can be used for a variety of things, I intend to use them all for the toy family.As for money, I am so reluctant to compete with the poor aristocrats that I can cope with sudden expenses.

Saying so, the Duke of Sanga was unfortunate.Materials like unicorn are difficult to obtain even when you meet them at the Duke's house, so you want to buy them when you have a chance.

I can't use the material called skin, bones, and magic nuclei, but I originally intended to give you some of the meat as a souvenir, so I would like you to put some on it, so please be patient.

"Tenma, have you finished talking to the Duke?"

After finishing his conversation with the Duke of Sanga, he was taken to the guest room, where his grandfather was drinking tea while reading a book by himself.

"I wish Grandpa had come too... By the way, where are the Primeras?"

I wish Grandpa had come to explain, "Don't bother!Leaving a sentence, he quickly retreated into the guest room.

"Primera went out with Jeanne and the others.Amur said he wanted to take a quick look at what kind of shops there are in the city, so I'll just wait and see what happens today and come back... but then I might be free while the tempers and Primeras go shopping.Maybe I should have let Albert come here. "

"No, Albert's newlywed and he's got work to do, so I don't think he'd call it a boulder just to make Grandpa spend his time with him.Besides, there wouldn't be many people who know Grandpa's face here, so why don't you hang around the city in a light disguise? "

Calling Albert just for grandpa's free time is as pathetic as it gets.Well, the Duke of Sanga might have summoned me with a laugh, but if I saw the Duke's illegitimate sons being used in his own territory, my stepmothers might not be offended... either.Instead, we might call it in a joint name with the Duke of Sanga.If you think about your mother-in-law, you can push your caring grandfather against Albert and have fun with Eliza in the meantime.Perhaps you should have spoken to Eliza before leaving King's Landing.

"Well, there's too much face in King's Landing.I can't stop drinking and walking.... "

Isn't it good to think about health?Though I thought it would be stressful to worry about your surrounding eyes when you want to remove your wings, so don't point it out during your trip.

"Well, the monsters have been moving around a lot lately, so be careful when you move from town to town.Well, it seems that this is the first time a monster above A rank, like a boulder or a unicorn, has been reported to have moved in a flock of monsters called orcs or goblins this year, so I want you to crush them if you see them. "

"Well, if it's a flock of goblins and orcs, that's a few dozen units, and we'll do it in one piece.But I'd rather have an orc herd than a goblin if I could. I can eat meat. "

Although grandpa's remarks are careless because the orc herd is more susceptible to damage than the goblins, it is also certain that the orc has more flavor given the situation after defeat.

"It's not like I'm asking you to do it, but I'm going to help the Duke of Sanga as much as I can by pretending not to see his kingdom in danger.Well, not to interfere with the work of other adventurers and knights. "

Ignoring it is out of the question, but if it is too involved, there will be problems, so if the risk is low, you can report it to a nearby guild for judgment, and if the risk is high, you can deal with it immediately.

"Mr. Tempura, can I have a moment? Ah, Miss Merlin, I'm sorry."

After talking to Grandpa, the Duke of Sanga entered the guest room as he spent his time reading until Primera and the others returned.The Duke thought his grandfather was out too and apologized for not noticing.

"Anything wrong?"

I wondered if you'd forgotten something about the Unicorn disturbances.

"According to the report I just entered, there is a monster swimming in the lake that seems to be a new species...."

"Namitaro has a probability of more than eighty-nine out of ten.If you're causing trouble, I'll go hunting alone. "

Namitaro, passing by the lake just near the lindo, said, "I'm going to swim a little!And he jumped out.I thought I'd have to deal with it responsibly if I'm having trouble, and I got up with my grandfather.

"No, on the contrary, they are hunting many dangerous monsters who live in the lake, and fishermen and their associates are delighted.However, the monsters they defeated were piling up on the shore, causing a lot of noise. "

Someone who passes by because of piling up near the street is surprised and confused, and there are adventurers who have been defeated by Namitaro trying to steal the piled monster by deciding that it was abandoned.However, after fishermen thanking Namitaro began watching the monsters piled up, it seemed that there were no more people trying to reach out to the monsters, and the confusion was subsiding.

"By now, the Duke's knights will have arrived, so the monsters must have been recovered."

The Duke of Sanga says so, but Namitaro has a magic bag from God, so there must be some reason why he's stacking it up.The Duke of Sanga was convinced.

"After all, I think I should go to Namitaro too.If you go to Riden, it won't take long. "

As I tried to go to the front door, Grandpa started nodding.The Duke of Sanga will follow us.At first, I thought it was to see you off, but it seems that you're going to follow me to the lake.

"I don't know what kind of thoughts Namitaro has, but I'm sure he thinned out the lake monster.I'd like to thank you directly... but above all, I'm free. "

The rush job is only the Unicorn case, and the Unicorn case is also awaiting a reply from the Vicomte, so it seems that time is running out.Therefore, he wanted to go and see how Namitaro was doing under the name of inspecting the city and its surroundings.

As for me, I was going to travel in a carriage pulled by Lyden (just me and Grandpa would fly away faster, but unlike King's Landing and Seigen, flying around in a rind could cause a disturbance), so I understood that even with the increase in the number of people, there was no problem... but my mother-in-law noticed that the Duke of Sanga had left the front door shortly afterwards and came with me.

"Still, there were more people than I thought.It was like a very popular tourist attraction! "

The Duke of Sanga was in a very good mood on his way back to the Duke's mansion after collecting Namitaro (...) in the lake.The reason is that the Namitaro were sometimes surrounded by tourist attractions, but the biggest reason is that many of Namitaro's exterminated monsters belonged to the Duke.Well, to be precise, it was conditioned on "support for fishermen and their associates working in the Lake of Lindo", but it's good mood because it's in the interest of the Duke of Sanga.Incidentally, since all the monsters they gave away were not very tasty and the materials were not so valuable (by me and Namitaro standards), Namitaro let go lightly.In response, the Duke of Sanga acknowledged that it would be a hassle, but not a pain, to notify fishermen and his guild to help them if Namitaro is found or trapped in Sanga territory in the future.

And then the Ootori family was able to inflict the spill.Between the delicious monster Namitaro did not give to the Duke of Sanga and the demon extermination, we were able to obtain the delicacies of the lake that Namitaro was getting.It was exchanged for the confectionery I had made, so I gave a lot of confectionery, but it was still not balanced.Saying that, "I don't have enough for this trip!I was told, "Don't hesitate to ask.

"Nevertheless, the Duke of Sanga in the temple... why are you in the throne seat?"

At present, me and the Duke of Sanga are sitting between grandpa in the royal seat.After all, this carriage seat is made wide, but the three men on the boulder are a little narrow.

"I mean, come on... I went to my mother-in-law's house and got scattered, but now I have Primera.I don't know how much fun it would be if they were together.... "

"So, Tenma abandoned her new wife and ran away.The Duke of Sanga..... "

"I don't think I'm going to be teased, but that limited space is full of females, so I'm afraid of the boulders.So let's try to deepen the rapprochement between men here.... "

I mean, the Duke of Sanga has fled, too.

Grandpa was right, so neither I nor the Duke of Sanga were able to say anything but shut up.....

"Did Merlin take the lead seat so that she could escape the women's side?Incidentally, the roof didn't escape from the designated seat or seat.You don't have to run. "

And when Namitaro was on the roof listening, Grandpa was forced to shut up.

Unlike such a dark atmosphere, you can hear a pleasant voice from the female team in the carriage.Primera is the loudest voice I can hear, so my stepmother still seems to be teasing me.

"I knew I wasn't wrong....."

"No, temper. That's pretty lame."

My murmuring seemed to have been heard by Namitaro and criticized quite seriously.In addition, Primera was stuck in the Duke's mansion after returning, and it was difficult to get her mood right.

Incidentally, my stepmother and grandpa were looking forward to seeing me in Primera's mood, starting with the Duke of Sanga.

"Mr. Tenma, would you like to go to the shop on the main street first?"

"Fine. I don't know where the shop is, so I'll leave it to Primera.Because the shop that worries me on the way says, "

As part of Primera's mood... Primera suggested a destination when she left the Duke's Mansion for a date in Lindo on her honeymoon as planned, but I didn't know the city of Lindo at all, so I decided to leave it to Primera.However, that's all Primera seems to care about, so I'm going to tell you what I'm worried about while walking, but as far as I can see from the carriage yesterday, I don't see it, so if anything, it's off the back street or the Duke's Mansion.This is not to say that there are no major stores in Lindo, but I think I prefer stores like the one in the back street.It's not proof of that, but when shopping alone in other cities, it's overwhelmingly more common to go to shops in the back street.

On today's date, I decided to focus on where Primera wanted to go, and if she couldn't go, I decided to make plans for tomorrow and beyond.In the first place, Rindo is the birthplace of Primera and there is also a Duke's residence, so there will be many opportunities to visit again and again in the future, and I basically plan to act alone with Primera during my stay, so you can enjoy it for a few days without rushing around.

And dinner back from the first day of the date... for some reason, I was asked for a bowl of seafood, a specialty of the Ootori family.Anything your mothers-in-law asked for.

The source of the seafood bowl was Amur, where she got along with her mother-in-law. The Duke of Sanga tried to stop it for a while, but he blamed me for not telling me that he had eaten in King's Landing, and he asked me to do the same.

I don't mind making it, but I said that some of it is out of stock or thin, so it will take a slightly different shape than usual, but I still can.So this time, we decided to dispense with the battle by janken, and divide the ingredients into small plates for each person from the beginning.Pokémon is the most exciting element, but it is possible that losers will gather all the ingredients they don't like if they succeed, so this is probably the best way to start for mothers-in-law who have barely eaten raw fish.Afterwards, assuming that the raw fish would not work, I also prepared something to bake and loosen the mushrooms caught by Namitaro, as well as river shrimp and river fish tempura... My mother-in-law and I were eating the raw fish well, so maybe we should do it the usual way next time.

Duke of Sanga SIDE

"This time the seafood bowl was also delicious.Still, I didn't think what I baked and loosened would suit the rice that far. "

After dinner and a little talk with you, I went back to my room, and later I was in my room with my wives.Among them is mainly the story of Tenma. [M]

Unlike the two son-in-laws of my eldest sister, Tempura, who has no ties as a nobleman, feels comfortable without having to explore his belly. [M]Besides, even if you say it's somewhat impossible, you don't have to worry about the noble "loan/borrowing".Well, I don't think you'd like it if it was too much to impose... but the criteria for temper's anger are somewhat clear when you look at Albert and the other two, so it won't be a bad thing if you keep that in mind.However, even if it doesn't get worse, there may be some small retaliation, but I don't care because it feels like a joke with a close friend.At best, it will reduce the rank of tea and tea confectionery.

"That said, you guys used to eat raw fish, didn't you?I don't think you've eaten much before. "

The raw fish themselves are occasionally seen in shops serving southern cuisine, and I have not eaten them at all. However, the Duke's territory and King's City are basically river fish, and the river fish are said to be dangerous if they are not cooked, so I don't eat them raw if there is not much around the Duke's territory and King's City.So I was a little surprised to see the three of them talking about raw fish without hesitation.

"It would be a lie to say that there was no resistance, but it would be rude to make us look disgusting when we requested a boulder."

"Besides, not just raw fish, but about half of them were cooked, and because Albert and Primera have eaten many times, I thought it would be fine unless it wasn't that bad."

"Because there were also odorless herbs and spices, it was easy to eat even raw.To be honest, I was a little scared because of the smell of the southern food I used to eat, but there was a difference between what I ate and what I ate before. "

Certainly, it is quite different from what the restaurant that sings southern cuisine in the alley serves.Well, Amur from the south said, "The southern cuisine of the shops around here is not good because it's just a fake of form." It seems that it is not helpful, and the food of Tenma is very delicious, but it is subtly different from that of the south, so it may be said that it is "the original of Tenma using southern cuisine as a reference".

Cooking, too, but I'm glad you got rid of the unicorn.If you hadn't met, how many villages would have been damaged... that's more than double the damage done to the Vicomte. "

"That's right. Unfortunately, even if the Duke's Knights were to go to crusade, it would be difficult for a triple unicorn to defeat them.Probably because I'm going to push you back. "

Carmilla and Grace agreed to Olivia's words, which seemed different from the words.

Certainly, no matter how powerful a unicorn is, I don't think the Duke of Sanga's Knights will be so easy to take a step backwards.But that's when there was only one unicorn.

If there is only one opponent, if we send about a hundred knights there will be some damage, but we will be able to crush them.And if there were a hundred of them and three fights one at a time, the damage would be great, but there would be no winning.But the story is different when it comes to three heads at the same time.Three heads at the same time, at least 500 must be sent to crusade.If we could split the three heads, we would be able to defeat a total of 300 each, but as the number of enemies increases, we will not go as calculated and the likelihood of escape increases, so we still need 500.

"Increasing the number of knights will take time to march, and if you squeeze them, you'll lose… Olivia, Carmilla, Grace, I'll tell you before, but if I had to take one of the Sal Thermos, the Caliostros, and the Ootori to my side on the balance and make the rest my enemies, I would take the Ootori family.Even if it puts the lives of my real daughter and grandchildren at risk. "

The Duke's knight kills an opponent who doesn't know if he can beat him for 500, Tenma, by himself.And show me the overwhelming difference in power.And the Ootori family has Marlin, who can fight as well as you, and even Amur, the southern countess and the kingdom's best fighter.As a matter of parental affection, I would like to help my daughter alone, but considering the Duke as a whole, I must avoid turning you into an enemy.

"Certainly, I know you can't turn a small number of Ootori with comparable combat power to the Duke with few things to protect, and sometimes in the south, so when I think about the Duke, I know that I will abandon the Earl... but in that case, I will move for the Earl of Sal Thermo alone.As a result, if I can't help Rachel and my grandchildren, I want to be by my daughters' side. "

I think the same thing about Carmilla.

Carmilla and Grace understood my thoughts but said they were ready to leave the Duke's house if they did.While they were answering, Olivia remained silent.Perhaps it was because they knew that the Duke's bastard (Albert) and the Ootori family's maison (Primera) would never be abandoned that they decided that they had no say.

For a while there was a dark atmosphere between us.

"Shall we stop purposely breathing heavy air?"

"That's right, if you put too much force on your face, you'll get more fine lines."

"Yeah, well, it's time to quit, because too much stress builds up."

"I don't think it's going to happen right now, and if it does, let Albert do his best."

Saying with a cheerful voice to scatter dark thoughts, the three began to speak with a bright voice.

Occasionally I do half of the jokes, but half of the jokes are serious, so occasionally, the air can get really bad like today.

When that happens, I try to reset the air with someone's signal.Well, that's a tough night for my wives to sweeten up, but... even when Albert was born, I felt like it was like this...

When I saw Chilari and Olivia, she smiled as she looked at me.Well, I've only been sleeping with the boulders lately, so it won't be the birth of my fifth child. Maybe....

The Duke of Sanga is SIDE.
