"Welcome back, Master."A male servant greeted us in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
"""Welcome back" said another maid with a tone of unison and a loud voice.
After returning home from the Royal Conference, I was greeted by butlers and maids who lined the driveway as I got off the train.
It's like I'm a royal family or a nation wait, I'm a noble.
"Master, the same Marientail and her friends come to visit you." A male servant greeted us in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
"okay." A male servant greeted us in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
"Are they in the living room?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Yes." Yeah." A male servant greeted us in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
"Then I guess I'll go say hello to them before I change my clothes." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"If you may know, who are the 2 women behind the master." A male servant greeted us with a relaxed tone and with a calm surra.
"Ohh, they are my subordinates, you two introduce yourself." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Alright same Secilia, introduce, my name is Lina." Said Lina in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
"I am the same bodyguard of Secilia, the Emperor of the Sakura Empire of the western continent, greetings." Said Lina in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
Lina introduced herself by lifting her skirt slightly and bowing her head.
"And I am Tiane, the bodyguard of the great Emperor, the same Secilia, greetings." Said Tiane in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
Tiane also said almost the same thing as what Lina said and he also lifted a little of his skirt and bowed as a sign of respect.
"Ahh, alright, welcome to the mansion belonging to our master, Miss Lina and Miss Tiane." A male servant greeted us in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
After hearing that the butler didn't question anything about the Emperor or anything, he just seemed to be trying hard to maintain his composure.
When I said so, one of the maids went to the living room as a preacher.
These commuter employees are all very capable.
It might be nice to call some loli maids in the labyrinth city to let them study here.
I entered the door that the butler had opened, and went towards the living room where Zena san and the others were waiting.
As expected, the room felt cramped with 17 people inside.
I greet back with “I go home” to our girls who welcome me.
It seemed like they were having fun in the Royal Academy, they all looked glittering.
"I'm sorry for bothering you." Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.
"Secilia san.. umm, do I have to call you the same Viscount now." Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.
"Please call me Secilia as usual if we're not in public." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Ehem, who is the man who dares to call our master by name alone and without using the word honor." Said Tiane in a relaxed tone and with a firm voice.
"True, who is this creature that calls upon our master's name in such a tone." Said Lina in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
Tiane and Lina slowly moved from behind me, towards my side and they both stared at Zena san and the others with cynical gazes and with condescending looks.
"Who are you, and why do you know Secilia san?" Said Zena san in a firm tone and in a loud voice.
"Hoo, it turns out there are also humans who dare to challenge us apparently." Said Tiane in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
"Storage."
Tiane opened access to a storage and immediately took out his sword-shaped weapon whose blade was jet-black.
"Does anyone challenge me." Said Tiane in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
"Tiane, stop." Said Tiane in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
"Okay, Secilia's the same." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Hoho really can't wait for you Tiane." Said Lina in a relaxed tone and with a calm voice.
"What did you say!" Said Tiane in a loud tone and with an annoyed voice.
"Doing such a rash thing is not at all elegant you know." Said Lina in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.
Since it will trigger a fight, then I stop the fight between Lina and Tiane.
I said it to Zena san who looked a little lonely.
Although it was natural to distinguish between common and personal matters, I did not like being treated remotely by a friend.
"Is that okay?" Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.
"Yes, please call me as usual." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Yes!" Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a calm voice.
Lina and Tiane just gave a displeased cry to Zena san.
Zena san replied with a smile that was like the sun.
As usual, Zena san's expression when she was like this was quite good.
"Before that, introduce the two of them are my personal bodyguards, this silver-haired Lina and this white-haired Tiane, so I hope you can get along." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
I introduced Tiane and Lina to all of them and they gave many diverse responses.
"I'll change my clothes soon, so let's eat together." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Lina and Tiane will eat with us?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Um, that's ..." Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.
I thought Zena san and the others would naturally eat with us, but it seems like they were invited to dinner with Earl Seryuu.
It also seemed like it was also for them to report their progress in the Labyrinth City.
"That's unfortunate." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"You'll stay in the royal capital for a while, right?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Then there will be another chance." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Tomorrow I'll make a royal court dish using whole sakura salmon." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Ro-royal court dish!" Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.
"Please, I'll look forward to it." Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.
While having such a conversation, I saw Zena san and the others leave as they returned to the mansion of Earl Seryuu.
Lilio got some kind of package from Lulu.
It seems that a variety of new year dishes that girls love.
As for dinner that day, the royal court dishes that Lulu had taught in the royal palace were lined up on the dining table.
They're all fancy dishes.
There are a few new year dishes left so it's a bit unfortunate, but we can eat them for breakfast tomorrow.
"Pochi pulled it, then Pochi threw it, Pochi pulled it, then Pochi threw it, it was a great success, nanodesu!" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"Your name was also a great success?" Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
Meanwhile Lina and Tiane were just enjoying the food and without giving any response regarding Pochi and Tama.
I listened to Pochi and Tama who reported about their invincible match against their classmates in the knight school.
I asked Arisa with my eyes, “Did you let them hurt anyone?”
"Don't look at me with those eyes." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
"I've told them to just attack the weapon, so it's fine." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
"There should be fewer challengers tomorrow, and both of them understand how to refrain from their training with the Pendora people, so it's okay I say." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
"Not ape-ape." Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"That's right, nanodesu." Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"Master (teacher) teaches Pochi to be easy on the weak, nanodesu." Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
Oops, that's a problematic comment.
"Pochi, you must not say that your friends are『Weak』, understand." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Pochi can't, nanodesu?" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
U ~ n, I guess that's because it's natural for the elf master teachers to look down on it in terms of martial arts.
"Then why don't we imagine it." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"imagined it?" Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"Nanodesu?" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
I saw both with face “let me see”.
"Imagine if an unknown martial artist Pochi and Tama look down on you even before you fight, “You are weak. You're worthless”, what do you think?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Pochi is not weak, nanodesu!" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"Your mom is strong too?" Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
The two obediently imagined what I was saying and became angry.
"However, if a martial artist says, “Hmph, the weakest barking” loudest without listening to you two, what are you going to do?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Fight?" Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"Pochi will challenge him to a fight, nanodesu." Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
Yup, I'm glad they both reacted because I taught them.
"That's right." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"If you two say『Weak』to your friends, don't you think they'll be as angry as with the martial artists imagined before?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
The two crossed their arms and imagined it with a difficult face.
"They're really going mad, nanodesu!" Pochi said in a frightened tone and in a loud voice.
Pochi trembled while looking in shock.
"Tama wouldn't say weak." Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
"Pochi wouldn't say it either, nanodesu!" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
I confirmed the honest words of the two with “It was true”, and stroked their heads.
Now they won't hurt anyone or get involved with some weird problem.
Liza also nodded for some reason, but I think there is a benefit to provoking your opponent in actual combat, you know?
I had Arisa report about the people and nobles in the knight school that we should be wary of.
There are many people who are able to attract interest, it seems like you will not get bored at that school.
"Then, is that fun for you, Mia?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Mrs." Mia said in a somewhat vague tone of speech and in a very slow voice.
Mia nodded, then stuffed the peeled orange into her mouth.
Huh huh?
That all?
Geez, it's so quiet Mia.
Tomorrow Arisa goes to the magic school where Mia is, I think I can hear it from Arisa.
"There's no problem in the kitchen of the royal palace, right?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Y-yes. It was a pity that we were not with the Master, but I was able to learn things such as techniques, how to look at materials, and trinkets." Said Lulu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
Looking through the ingredients might not be necessary once he got the Appraisal Item skill, but the Orb would be given out the day after the auction was over.
I'm glad that Lulu wasn't bullied or something, I'll learn those techniques from Lulu later.
"Lulu was well taken care of so I reported." Nana said in a flat tone and in a calm voice.
"Thank you, Nana." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
Lulu might have been bullied if she was alone, but since Nana said it bluntly, she might really be well taken care of.
Last I asked Liza where she was guiding Zena san and the others.
"I especially guided them to places to eat out and gun shops." Said Liza in a firm tone and with a loud voice.
"It's really like Liza-san." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a pekqn voice.
Just as Arisa was muttering, it was very much like Liza.
But since it was Zena san and the others, they might be happy about it.
"Then you should show them around the shopping street where we went together." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"There's a lot of accessories and pretty clothes in there." Said Liza in a firm tone and with a loud voice.
"certain." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
I'll buy them accessories if I go with them, but please treat that as a preview for now.
I really want to show Zena san and her friends around the city at least once during their stay here.
"Oh yeah, the pink princess from earlier was also there." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
The person Arisa said with a smile is probably the princess of Rumooku Kingdom who has anime-like pink hair, Princess Menea.
"That should be the case considering Princess Menea is a student of the Job Academy." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"However, do not use “princess pink”, call her Princess Menea normally." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Yes ~ a" said Arisa in a relaxed tone and in a loud voice.
As I reprimanded her, Arisa replied back like a child.
"And then, and then, Princess Menea is contested by two handsome men as in shoujo manga." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
“Gehe”, Arisa laughed, but even though when the girl met me, she said some flower words like “The one who was destined” or something, so I couldn't deny it.
"Hee, he's very popular." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"What's with that disinterested reaction." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
What kind of reaction you expect comes from me.
"Then you know, the real problem is after that." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
Arisa changes her posture and leans on the kotetsu.
"One of them, that fat handsome boy is called His Majesty." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
Your Majesty, yes.
It was the same word from the demon lord worshipper that the executives of the [Light of Liberty] said, but ....
"Is he not a common noble?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"What's his name?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"Err, she's called Souya." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.
Fumu, that's a Japanese name.
I found him as soon as I searched on the map.
He lived in a rich area but not on the way of nobles.
I checked his birthplace in the note column while also comparing it to the directory of people I got from the royal palace like Nanashi.
"It seems, he really is a descendant of the royal family." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
"He seems to be the illegitimate son of the previous King and the daughter of a merchant." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.
The mansion where Souya kun lives is from his merchant mother.
Just in case, I checked various documents from the Prime Minister and found a hit on the company name.
This was a merchant family that secured their livelihood by trading with foreign countries, they had several sea ships in the foreign trade city. It seemed that their main customers were the countries in the western part of the continent, and the weaselkin empire in the eastern part of the continent.
The reason why they were recorded in the documents was because they had a deal with the Earl's house that was executed for treason from the previous case, and supplying impo items such as accessories and books from the Holy Kingdom Parion to the home of the nobility who idolized the occult group, the [Wind of Liberty].
It seemed that they were also supplying puppet items and artwork from foreign countries to the home of Marquis Kelten.
Although the Prime Minister's subordinates may have investigated them, I tagged Souya kun and the higher-ups of the merchant house because they looked a little suspicious.
Coincidentally, I also tried to find people, demons, or people possessed by demons with [Unknown Skill], but I did not find them.
