CH 218
It’s been a week since the night of the incident.
We stayed at the mansion because Hugel-san insisted.
I had a suspicion that the “Founder” might try to do more, so I took him up on his offer, thinking it would be a good way to keep an eye on him, but fortunately or unfortunately, there was no movement. We’ll probably go to the Royal capital just like this.
And as for Sarge, he returned the day after the incident.
“Yeah. Make sure Aina doesn’t find out.”
“When you see everyone, tell them I’m fine.”
“Thank you, Sarge. Well, we probably won’t get in any trouble if I go to King’s Landing.”
“Yeah, I’ll be careful. See you later, Sarge.”
“Thanks, Sarge! I hope to see you again!”
When Henrietta and I said this, Sarge laughed and disappeared from our sight, enveloped in the light of the summoning. I’ll have to be careful not to see him again anytime soon.
“Makina-oneesama, Lars-san! What are you going to teach me today!”
One more thing, just in case, Henrietta had taken a break from the academy. During that time, Makina and I were watching her study, but she insisted on learning from us about fighting as well.
Of course, I refused, but Hugel-san asked me to teach her for ‘self defense’, so I did.
“Concentration is the key to magic. Yes, keep the fire intact as much as possible. You’ll learn to understand the quality and control of magic.”
“Ah, yes ……! Gununu ……!”
“It’s especially important to strengthen your legs and feet. Run, rest, run. In order to train your footwork, you have to build up your strength first.”
“Yes! …… Fu~Fu~ ……”
“How nostalgic. I remember how fast Makina used to run to buy bread.”
“D-Don’t mention that ……”
In this way, I became Henrietta’s teacher, and after a week of intensive training, Henrietta became more capable than before she met us.
–And today, someone from the castle is coming to escort Kelbrem and the others.
We also decided to leave the mansion after a week of nothing happening.
“Thank you for the week!”
“We were asked to do this, but I guess it was a good idea to increase your strength for the future. Just remember, never put yourself in danger. You’ll end up worrying your parents. Or, you might be able to fight? I want you to promise me that you will not fight with that idea. Your first priority is to escape, and only fight if you are cornered.”
When I gave her a stern talking-to, Henrietta smiled and nodded cheerfully before opening her mouth.
“Yes, I understand. When everyone was fighting, I was too scared to move near my Mama …… I also understand that just because I’ve gotten a little stronger in a week or so doesn’t mean I can fight like Lars-san or Makina-oneesama. So I’ll use what you’ve taught me just to protect myself.”
“Yes. I believe that Henrietta is smart enough to keep her promise!”
Makina smiled and patted Henrietta’s head, and they both nodded at each other with tears in their eyes.
“Thank you, Lars-kun. Thanks to you, my family is safe and the casualties were kept to a minimum …… It made me realize that I should pay a little more attention to things. Henrietta shouldn’t stick her neck out, but I should be more proactive about listening to the towns and guilds in my territory ……”
“Yes, you’re right. My father is a man who spares no effort in gathering information. Maybe that’s why we have peace.”
I smiled, and Hugel-san smiled and nodded.
“I’m going to miss you guys, Henrietta is also attached to you guys a lot, and I want you to live in this town, though. Lars-san is a nobleman, so maybe he can marry Makina and Henrietta, right?”
“Oh, that’s a bit ……”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Oh my, really ……?”
Rakute-san muttered with deep regret, while Hugel-san and Henrietta laughed. Then, Basleigh-sensei calls out to us.
“Well, I guess we’d better get going. Thank you very much for your cooperation, Hugel-san. If you have any more problems, please send a letter to me at the castle. There are still a lot of things to watch out for, so be careful.”
“Y-Yeah ……”
“Teacher ……”
She’s talking seriously ……. She has a tense face, but there are several heads of liquor bottles hiding in the luggage on her back.
“Give it back!”
“Ahhhh, Makina-chan!? Just not Chuubakka’s fifty-year-old!”
“Of course, that’s not allowed, okay!? I’m sorry, I’ll return it right away ……”
“Haha, well, I don’t mind her drinking some drinks. It’s all about life, you know. You should get some from Basleigh-san. It’s exceptional to drink a good drink for a special occasion.”
“Haha …… I’m really sorry ……”
In the meantime, I wrapped Basleigh-sensei up in a mattress, put her on the back of the carriage, and left the mansion.
“See you ……!! Come visit us again!”
Henrietta ran up to the gate and waved. Makina peeked out of the window of the carriage and waved, while I waved goodbye to the Hugel-san’s family, since I was the coachman.
“They were nice people, weren’t they?”
“Yeah, I’m sure Hugel-san will change his mind and the territory will be better from now on …… The problem is the organization called “The Gospel’s Descent”. It looks like they’ve withdrawn from this town for now, but there’s no guarantee that they won’t come back again. “
“Yeah …… I since Sarge will secretly tell Lars’ father about the Gust territory, but I’m afraid for the rest of the world, but I’m frightening in the other areas. In here …… I’d like to think it’s safe since Conrad-san is now the Guildmaster here.”
Yes, one thing that has changed is that Conrad has become the Guildmaster. It was unanimously agreed that he was a young man of a certain age, trusted by many people, and a serious man.
“Kuh …… Let’s stop talking about that because it reminds me of that abominable woman ……!”
“Aaahhhhh …… I didn’t think Leisha-san would go that far.”
Then Makina giggled and moved her face closer to Basleigh-sensei and says.
“That’s your fault, you know, Basleigh-sensei? …… If the person you love is about to be taken, she will definitely become aggressive. Also, It was the teacher’s fault who was fanning it up, so it made Leisha-san impatient too.”
“Guh …… I never thought that I reaped what I sow ……! …… Well, that’s okay. I guess he wasn’t meant to be my destiny this time! Now, let’s go to the Royal capital and meet new people!”
“What!? Huh!? When did you get out of the rope!?”
I heard Makina’s surprised voice behind me and I smiled. It’s very typical for Basleigh-sensei, I thought, as I drove the carriage forward and eventually arrived at the guardhouse. There, Conrad, Borzov, Cave, and Sifol-san were waiting for us.
There were dozens of other people dispatched from the castle, carriages with prisons that were probably for escorting people, and knights in full gear.
“You’re here, Lars-kun.”
“Yes, I’m here to see you off.”
When we arrived, Kelbrem and the others were just being led out. When they noticed me, they laughed and called out to me.
“Hello, Lars, long time no see.”
“Thank you, Lars-sama. I’m going to be living in a jail cell from now on, but I’m feeling much better. Thank you very much.”
“Don’t you ever do anything bad again.”
“We’ll be careful when we get out. However, I think it’s you who should be careful, though? If the “Founder” knows that you’ve crushed this project in any way, there’s a good chance he’ll come after you. Especially since there is no sign of Retzel knowing about it.”
“Yeah ……”
“The “Founder” is dangerous. I hope you don’t meet him. I don’t know what happens when a strong guy like you ends up like us ……”
I will be targeted …… I think there’s a good chance of that possibility.
However, a short-tempered but skillful Kelbrem who says that the “Founder” is dangerous is still something to watch out for. When I nodded to Kelbrem’s words with a mysterious look on my face, Kelbrem nodded silently, got into the prison carriage, and departed with the bandits.
“We’re going to the Royal capital first, Lars-sama!”
“I’ll properly make up for my sins!”
I saw them off, thinking how energetic they were even though they were being taken away. It’s as if an evil spirit has fallen off from them.
“……… Somehow, I can’t do it. I wonder if they wouldn’t have been like this if they hadn’t been saved by the “Founder”.”
“You’re right. Anyway, I might’ve been curious to know what kind of past those people had.”
“Hmmm, did they have money problems ……?”
Cave and Sifol-san scratched their heads and muttered, and Makina replied. So I said what I was thinking.
“…… It’s not that, Makina. It’s probably the same as the Kelbrem, which was staged to get more people to join. That’s how it works.”
“If that’s the case …… that’s the worst-case scenario.”
“Yeah ……”
Cave and the others shake their shoulders at my guess. But I think that’s how he gets people to trust him, get tattoos, and increase comrades.
We were watching the carriage go away in silence when Conrad called out to us.
“I think it’s thanks to Lars-kun and his team that the case …… has been solved for now.”
The reason for his sluggishness is probably because the mastermind is still out there. However, since they can’t touch him since he’s in the Kingdom of Berias, he may feel uneasy.
“Let’s see, there have been no incidents in the past week, and no attacks on Hugel-san’s house. So I think we’ll be okay for a while.”
“Well, I guess there’s no choice. We’ll just have to deal with it if something happens.”
“I’ll leave that to you because we’ve decided to leave too.”
When I said that, Conrad looked a little disappointed and asked me to shake his hand.
“…… I see, It’s a bit regretful, but Lars-kun’s going to Royal Capital, right. I hope nothing happens to you on the way.”
“Come again! You’ll be welcome!”
“You don’t have to come, okay?”
“You thieving cat!”
“Basleigh-sensei, stop it!?”
Basleigh-sensei and Leisha-san tried to fight again, so Makina stopped them, and laughter broke out around them. I’m a bit reluctant, but we have to go.
“Then, we’ll go now.”
“See you later, Sifol-san! Get along with Cave-san!”
“See you too, Makina-chan!”
“Conrad, good luck being the Guildmaster.”
“Of course. I’ll work with Hugel-san to make this a great town! Let’s meet again!”
Conrad, the man who inspired me to come here, waved his hand, and I looked back at him as we walked the carriage again. I honestly didn’t think that a petty fight in a tavern would end up saving a territory ……
Even so, I think it’s good that I was able to come here and help those who needed help.
“…… The “Founder”, huh.”
“If possible, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with him.”
“Yeah ……”
Makina responded to my mumbling with a mysterious look on her face.
But if he’s expanding his reach to different countries, we’ll meet someone someday …… that’s what I feel. I looked back at the town of Oriola, which had become a bit distant, and thought of such things.
Oh no …… I’m sleepy ……
Thank you for reading!

“Give me that alcohol, too!”
H-Hey, let go of the wine in your hand!?
“The goddess demands wine and cheese! If you do not accept, the world will disappear!”
This guy’s a doomsayer!?
We stayed at the mansion because Hugel-san insisted.
I had a suspicion that the “Founder” might try to do more, so I took him up on his offer, thinking it would be a good way to keep an eye on him, but fortunately or unfortunately, there was no movement. We’ll probably go to the Royal capital just like this.
