I took up a position on the roof of the magic carriage leaving the mansion, dressed in leather armor with the Lagart family crest on it.
There was almost no chance of being attacked in the capital, but I wanted to show that we had a strong security presence, and at the same time, I wanted to get the view of the capital in my memory.
Yesterday, I said goodbye to Horacio.
It had been two whole years since we had seen each other, and we were able to confirm each other’s growth.
I don’t know how many years it will be before we meet again, but I am sure we will be able to rejoice in each other’s safety and growth.
So there is no time to be sad.
I intend to grow even more so that I can keep up with the rapid growth of Horacio.
At the gate to the Second District, the gate to the Third District, and the gate to the outside of the Royal Capital, the soldiers saluted me off.
I returned the salute as best I could, but I felt it wasn’t quite right.
Perhaps I was hunched a little too low.
While we continue on the road to Ibouro, I deploy [Shield] between the side of the magic carriage and the road surface.
It seems that His Highness Ernest was assassinated by the pulverization magic circle set up on the magic carriage, but if the Lagart family’s magic carriage is targeted, it is because the magic tools buried on the road may be the ones used.
At first glance, it looks like just a catkin in leather armor, but it should be no exaggeration to say that my defenses are the strongest in the kingdom.
The people who attacked us in Flos Village were interrogated by the Royal Knights, and they confessed that they had planned to attack the Lagart family’s magic carriage from the very beginning.
It seems that the purpose of the attack was to accuse Count Grobrus of maladministration, but from the Lagart family’s point of view, this was a very bad thing to do.
Although they were not involved in the attack, there was apparently someone who had informed them of the Lagart family itinerary, so there was a good chance that we would be attacked on our way home as well.
At first glance, the Lagart family’s magic carriage appears to be proceeding along the same road as before, but they have increased the number of personnel checking the road ahead of them as well as around them.
The pace of the magic carriage itself has been quickened, so that it runs only during the daylight hours and reaches the place of lodging before the sun goes down.
We were also welcomed by Duke Letburnes and Marquis Escalante, where we stopped along the way.
Since the attack had caused the death of not only the first prince, His Royal Highness Ernest, but also many others, it seems that news had already been delivered.
The news seemed to include the fact that I had made a honorary knight, and I was taken to a large room separate from Mr. Novak and had to spend a restless night.
The bed was too big for me as a catkin, and my brother, Miriam, and my entire family in Atsuka village could have slept in the room together.
Come to think of it, while I was away, my brother was alone in the attic… There’s no way he could sleep there.
He must have been captured by Shure and forced to act as a body pillow with Miriam.
And even at the Count Grobrus family in question, they received me with a disgusting reception.
Andreas, the lord who had spat racist terms like “inferior species” at me when we parted on our way to the Royal Capital, treated me with a low bow as if he was about to rub his hands against me, as if that had never happened.
Viscount Lagart had given me advance notice, but I never expected him to actually do something like that.
The reason seems to be that rumors about me being a favorite of His Majesty the King and the royal family are being spread along with the news of the attack.
Knowing how the knights and Mr. Novak and the others were treated by the Grobrus family, I was not comfortable with the fact that I was the only one being treated well, but I was allowed to use it as a training ground to be tactful with people I didn’t like, thinking about the future.
At the Marquis Escalante’s house, the family home of the Knight Commander, the hospitality was unparalleled.
As soon as the magic carriage arrived at the residence, Alvaros, the previous head of the family, picked me up and held me up, and would not let me down until I returned to my room after dinner… It was a hospitality that did not put me down physically.
Then, after about a month, I was finally able to return to Ibouro.
In my previous life in Japan, I would have been able to take the bullet train for a day trip, but in this world, it takes time just to travel.
I had bought some rice as a souvenir, so the viscount kindly offered me a ride to my base in his magic carriage.
“Nyango, are you sure you want to leave your luggage here?” (Novak)
“Yes, it’s okay, I’ll bring with me later.” (Nyango)
“I really appreciate your help, Nyango. I’m sure we will meet again. Be well until then.” (Novak)
“Thank you for all your help. Let’s go see the Huley blossoms again.” (Nyango)
“That’s right, if I come back with Nyango in Ibouro, I’ll probably get surrounded by a lot of beautiful women.” (Novak)
“If you don’t mind earning the adventurers’ grudge…” (Nyango)
“Oh, then I’ll pass on it.” (Novak)
Well, in Mr. Novak’s case, he needs to be able to liven up the conversation beyond silly topics.
Although I returned to our base, the Chariot members were away.
It seems like the carriage is also out, so they’re probably out on a subjugation request.
The crate full of rice was carried into the attic through the skylight by a void cart and ramp.
It was evening when I put away the leather armor and the honorary knight’s uniform, and finished the laundry while taking a shower.
I thought about cooking rice for dinner, but I didn’t have a pot to cook rice in.
Also, it’s a good idea to prepare a bowl, chopsticks, and some side dish that goes well with the rice.
While eating dinner somewhere, let’s go to the guild and report that the request has been completed.
I headed for the guild in my usual attire of cargo pants, button-down, and backpack.
The guild was crowded with adventurers who had finished their requests.
As I was looking around, I was blown away by the entrance door…
“Fumya! Ms. Leila?” (Nyango)
“I caught you… Hmm, did Nyango got heavier?” (Leila)
I was timing myself to go past the door when I was picked up from behind.
It was in the middle of a crowded street, but I still couldn’t sense her presence.
“Meow… well it is because there are meowlicious food and cakes in the Royal Capital…” (Nyango)
“Hmph, it’s okay, I like the jiggly Nyango too…Eh, Nyango, your left eye…” (Leila)
“After I made some achievements in the Royal Capital, I healed.” (Nyango)
“Yeah, you’ve gotten more and more manly, but…” (Leila)
Ms. Leila stares into my left eye and tilts her head slightly.
“Eh, is something wrong? I can see fine, but…” (Nyango)
“It’s not dangerous. It does not seem bad, but the left eye has a stronger shine, or rather, I feel some kind of power.” (Leila)
“Is it because they used healing magic to regenerate it?” (Nyango)
“Yeah, I guess so, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing.” (Leila)
I hope it doesn’t have any thing to do with Princess Elmerine’s strong passion to fluff…
“It seems like a lot of things happened in the Royal Capital… I’d like you to give me some of your time and let me listen to your story.” (Leila)
“Ah, before that, I have to go report on the request…” (Nyango)
“Oh, Jessica is better than me?” (Leila)
“Well, that’s not it, I still have to report…” (Nyango)
“I can’t help it then…” (Leila)
Well, I thought she was going to put me down, but Ms. Leila walked towards the guild counter with me in her arms.
After feeling refreshed at the base then suddenly sweating, I went with the Madonna of the tavern to report that my request had been completed, all fresh and fluffy.
After a day’s work and requests, it’s like I am picking a fight with the adventurers who are tired and thinking about their day’s earnings.
“Bastard, I thought you wouldn’t be here for longer…” (Adventurer)
“For Miss Leila to be taken just after you appeared …” (Adventurer)
“Damn it, let me take your place…” (Adventurer)
No, no, there’s no way Ms. Leila would be able to hold a bulky bearkin uncle… I don’t think so.
Even so, Ms. Leila’s effect is tremendous, and all the adventurers who notice that they are lined up behind her give up their turn.
Thanks to that, I was able to arrive in front of Ms. Jessica without having to wait.
“Thank you……” (Nyango)
“Welcome back, Sir Nyango Elmer, I would like to ask you some questions.” (Jessica)
When I was about to report my request, Ms. Jessica stood up quickly, bowed, and then smiled.
Yeah, I feel like her eyes aren’t smiling for some reason.
“So it was no joke, you’ve become a nobleman now, Nyango?” (Leila)
“Even though I am a noble, I am only an honorary knight.” (Nyango)
Hearing Ms. Jessica and Ms. Leila’s words, an uproar spread throughout the guild.
“I have completed the escort for Viscount Lagart’s family that I requested, so I came here to report.” (Nyango)
“Yes, I received it. This is the Honorary Knight’s card. It’s the first time I’ve seen it.” (Jessica)
“Is this your first time, Ms. Jessica?” (Nyango)
“I have heard that there has not been an honorary knight adventurer for more than ten years. Or do I look like I have been working for such a long time?” (Leila)
“N-No, that’s not it.” (Nyango)
Or rather, I feel like there’s something thorny about the words.
“Yes, I have completed the request procedure. Is there anything else you need?” (Jessica)
“Well, I have a souvenir from the Royal Capital, so could you please come to the tavern after work? I’m afraid I’ll be taken away…” (Nyango)
“Oh, I can’t help it… If I am invited by an honorary knight, I won’t be able to refuse…” (Jessica)
“Well then, later…” (Nyango)
“Yes, see you.” (Jessica)
Jessica smiled this time.
“Oh, Sir Elmer, don’t I have any souvenirs for me?” (Leila)
“Well, of course I haven’t forgotten. I got them.” (Nyango)
“I’m looking forward to that…” (Leila)
Ms. Leila gave some kind of signal to Ms. Jessica with her eyes and started walking towards the tavern with me in her arms.
Ms. Novak talks about very beautiful people, but around me, people have a murderous look on their face.
