Chapter 103
“Welcome back.”
I raised my head at the sound of the opening door and raised my voice.
“Yes. We’re back.”
It’s the usual interaction.
“You went sightseeing today, didn’t you? Did you have fun?”
Seliana, who sat across from me, asked me about today.
“Un. It’s something amazing…”
“It should be bigger than you, right?”
“It was really big. Have you seen it?”
“Students from all over the kingdom will be guided there first at the academy. They teach the mental attitude that Mesaria nobles should have there. As a citizen of Mesaria, you were also proud, weren’t you?”
“I did think it’s amazing, but… I feel heavy when thinking about fighting something like that for the development of the new territory.”
“There shouldn’t be that many that are as impressive as that, but since your name would be recorded in the annals of the territory, you must do your best.”
I don’t really need that kind of honor…
“If I’m not mistaken, the one used as Zerkis’ barrier was a bear demon lord species, right?”
“That’s right. Originally, they used materials from other demon lord species, but grandfather led an army and succeeded in subjugating it. That happened around 30 years ago.”
“So Grandpa is amazing…”
Elena, who had put away their luggage, also joined the conversation, but even a cow demon lord species was about the size of an elephant, so if it was a bear, it would be a little bigger.
I thought he was strangely friendly with the knights of the royal capital, so Grandpa is at that level of strength?
“Well, even if everything goes smoothly, it’s still 5-6 years away. Grow well first.”
I was told to take it easy, but I guess it’s okay if it takes that long…?
“Alex also knows a lot about that, so you should ask him. He should be back soon.”
“Huh? Did he send a message?”
Alex has been subjugating monsters in the royal capital and surrounding territories with Sieghart and Ruban and his party for the past three weeks in order to improve cooperation with each other.
I didn’t hear when he would return, so maybe he sent a letter or something?
“It’s my birthday next month. And there will be the announcement of my engagement with Riezel, and along with that, Father and the others will also come to the royal capital. By the way, have you met my younger brother?”
“Eisen-sama? I greeted him at the beginning. But that’s all.”
Eisen.
Seliana’s younger brother who is a year younger.
When I was in Zerkis, the maids told me that I should keep my distance since I was Seliana’s personal attendant, so I did that.
He seems to have mixed feelings about being compared to Seliana about everything.
Seliana also seems to look down on him, or doesn’t see him as an opponent… I heard her call him a weakling once.
It’s probably because she’s like that.
“Father and Eisen will use the rooms on the west side, so I think you won’t see each other, but you should stay on the east side.”
“Okay~.”
This mansion has the space for women on the east side and a space for men on the west side.
At most, I would only go there when I’m asked to call someone over, and I don’t plan to go near there in the first place, so it should be okay.
More importantly.
“Is your birthday next month?”
“It’s the 14th day of the first month of fall. It was after that that you came to House Müller, so this is the first time for you.”
Since I was picked up and up until now, there were so many things that happened for some reason, so I had forgotten about events and things.
“Elena’s is three days before mine. Yours should be in the second month of fall, right?”
“Heh? Un. Probably.”
I believe it was at the end of the second month of fall.
I didn’t have a calendar, so I’m a little unsure, but… more importantly!
“Should I prepare gifts for the two of you?”
I asked her directly.
I can’t think of a gift for a woman who is also my rich employer.
The sculpture I bought at the anniversary festival seems to have been more well received by her than I expected, and she’s still displaying it on her desk, but it’s boring to give something similar, so what should I do?
“Oh? Thank you. But you don’t need to.”
“Mu?”
“There will be no end if I receive gifts from everyone. So, at most, I will receive from nobles and merchant companies I’m related to. As for the rest, that thought is enough. Right?”
Elena nods too.
So it’s like that~?
Well, it would be troublesome for some people to compete with that.
“I’m also thinking about your share, so look forward to it.”
“…thanks.”
Is that okay?
