“You said you were classmates, did you graduate from the academy here?”
“Yes, it’s called the Lithography Academy. Look, there’s a big building on the left, right? That’s where Helena from A-Class transferred to …… How nostalgic.”
“Oh, so Helena was there! That’s right, hey Lars, can we see Helena?”
“I think she’s working, so maybe after we find a house.”
“Yes!”
I smiled at Makina, whose face lit up, and then the gatekeeper who was showing us around, not Basleigh-sensei …… spoke up.
“What do you nostalgic. You haven’t forgotten all the pranks you’ve pulled, have you?”
“Hmm, the prank that Kruiz means is when I lifted the headmaster’s wig? Or was it dropping the headmaster’s wig with a blowgun during the morning assembly?”
“All of it!? Oh right, at one time you were aiming for the headmaster’s wig like you had some kind of grudge against it!”
“So It hasn’t changed till now ……”
I’m not going to let Kruiz-san’s words get me down, but Basleigh-sensei smiles broadly at me. Then Makina peeked out from her seat and asked Kruiz-san about it.
“Did she always had this kind of personality? Even though she became a minister ……”
“Hey, Makina-chan! Please stop looking at me like I’m a disappointment! Ah, Lars-kun, you too!?”
“Hahaha, Makina-chan was it? This guy was still one of the smartest people in the academy. Well, her combat skills were average or below average, so not so good overall, but she was the best at using her head.”
” “Heeeeeh~ ……” “
“The two of you looking at me like that hurts!?”
When we heard Basleigh-sensei’s words, Makina and I burst into laughter. Well, you are basically a joke, but I know that we can rely on you when you are serious, though.
“Fufu, I’d like to ask you some other questions, too. Please tell me more, Kruiz-san.”
“Yeah, of course. Anyway, you guys said you were looking for a house, but are you going to live in this town? Not on your own land?”
“I’m planning to do so. I also want to broaden my horizons, and I’m thinking of starting out as an adventurer in this castle town where there are many people and stores.”
“Hmmm, that’s rare, even though a nobleman is able to live comfortably in his own territory. Besides, if you’re with Basleigh, you might get a room in the castle, you know?”
“In the past, the king told me to work in the castle, so if that’s still valid and I’ll accept the conditions, I guess. But we want to work as adventurers.”
“I think that’s a good idea since Lars-sama is still young. It’s like a prelude to a honeymoon.”
“……”
What Kruiz-san said made me and Makina fall silent. I-It’s too early to be a newlywed …… Ah, but, Nora is married, so I guess it’s not …….
“Well, there are many things in life, you know. I think you can get married in this town too ……!”
“Don’t shed a tear of blood. …… So you haven’t found a lover yet ……”
“Yeah ……”
“How is it that you’re only honest in these situations? Well, we’ve arrived.”
When Kruiz-san looked up, we looked ahead and saw the gate leading to the castle. Basleigh-sensei got out of the carriage and spoke to the gatekeeper of the castle.
“Hi~, can you open the gate, please? The Basleigh of your town has returned.”
“……!?”
As soon as one of the two gatekeepers saw Basleigh-sensei, his eyes widened and he let out a near scream.
“Hiiyaaaaaaaa!? The Reflexion’s demon, Basleigh, is back!”
“How dare they!?”
This is the way it is no matter who she meets …… What does he mean by demon …… I’m seriously curious, so I’ll ask Kruiz-san later. Now that I think, the phrase “demon” is so nostalgic. Was it Regaaro? I wonder if he’s doing well.
“How rude of you to call me demon! Look, I was called back by the king!”
“…… Seriously …… you can go through……”
“Good.”
The other gatekeepers look strange, and the other gatekeepers look exhausted as they open the door and go inside. Kruiz-san said this was the end of the line and we parted ways at the gate.
“Then, I’ll be at the gate, so if you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be happy to help you with anything in this town.”
“Thank you. I’ll see you then.”
“Thank you very much!”
Kruiz-san smiled and waved us off, and looked at us until the gate was closed.
We were instructed to leave the carriage in the stables, and after picking up our luggage, we walked into the castle on foot. Basleigh-sensei was in the lead, and we followed behind.
Soon we were near the room that was supposed to be the audience hall, and she approached an elderly man in fine clothes.
“Oh my, I found the Prime Minister at the right time! Can I meet the king?”
“Uooh!? I-If it isn’t Basleigh-sama! I’m glad you’re back. I’ve heard about it. Come, this way.”
“Thank you very much! Thank you very much! – Now, Lars, you and Machina come with me.”
The door opened with a heavy sound, and two thrones came into view. The person called the Prime Minister went somewhere else and we had to wait in the audience room.
“I’m getting nervous ……”
“Makina has never talked to them, so it can’t be helped. I’ll do the talking, so you just stay next to me.”
“All right.”
“I’d like to make my report first, if that’s okay?”
“Yes, I think it would be better to report the Oriola territory’s matter as soon as possible.”
Basleigh-sensei nodded. At the same time, a voice echoed through the audience room.
“You’re back! Thank you for your hard work along the way, Basleigh. And it’s been a long time, Lars Irving.”
“Ha, thank you for your kind words.”
“It’s been a long time, my king.”
We kneeled down and bowed graciously, and then another person spoke to us in a cheerful voice.
“Hello, Lars! Looks like we’ve both grown up! Is that your girlfriend? She’s such a cute girl, I’m jealous of you …… I’m always on marriage meeting–“
“Orden, I know it’s been a long time, but can we not talk as friends yet?”
“Oh, I apologize, Father.”
“Seriously, you’re a grown man now, but you’re still restless.”
The king let out a sigh of exasperation and turned to us again, and we can see Prince Orden behind the king with his hands folded behind his head, looking away and sticking out his tongue.
When he was a child, he was very curious, but now I wonder if he’s more of a jester now.
“Now, Basleigh, please make your report.”
“‘Very well, sir–“
In the meantime, Basleigh-sensei began to talk about the Oriola territory with a serious face.
Ahhhh, I’m so sleepy …… and busy ……
Thank you for reading!

“You’re popular ……!”
No, aren’t they afraid of that ……?
“Yes, it’s called the Lithography Academy. Look, there’s a big building on the left, right? That’s where Helena from A-Class transferred to …… How nostalgic.”
