Chapter 31: Arrival
“My head hurts......Zest, can’t you heal hangovers?”
I can, but I won’t, master.
“Alcohol is considered a good dicine when consud in proper quantities. It would be very difficult to heal it with magic, don’t you think?”
“That might be true.....Ah! I feel so sick......”
My foolish father, who had no mories of yesterday’s banquet, and I were shaken inside the carriage.
My master is very weak against alcohol.
It’s not that he can’t drink anything at all, but after two glasses of wine if he drinks a third one, he’ll be dead drunk.
Moreover, when he gets to that point he even forgets everything he’s said or done, he becos uncontrollable.
Really now.......Yesterday, he didn’t only talk about the young lady’s dark mole, but also about when precisely her chest started to grow big only to give a finishing blow afterwards.
‘Zest, did you know? Even though Bea looks quite slender in clothing, her chest is amazing. There’s a rumor amongst the maids saying that her chest is very soft and springy and it slls really good, you know? So nice.....it’s soft. So, what was your first impression?’
As if I would know, we still haven’t.......Still, what sort of rumors are you hearing about your daughter, you foolish father.
A black knight blushed extensively and I knocked him off his feet.
Master, you’ve said too much.
He might have been under a lot of stress......my poor father-in-law....Will I be the sa in future? I’m a son-in-law too after all......
While staring at the other pitiful son-in-law, our journey continued uninterrupted.
“Welco to the imperial capital. Excuse , but I have to know your family na.”
“We are from the Varnam Frontier Count’s Household. Inside the carriage are the Magic Division Commander Sonia and Lord Zest.”
Oh, we arrived.....Because I haven’t slept at all yesterday, I was absent minded and I haven’t even realized.
Master was sound asleep, as one would expect.
“Thank you. What about these captured soldiers?”
“These guys......”
Albert explained the situation.
I’ll leave it to him, I’m still sleepy and I don’t really want to bother.
“Slaves!? I can’t believe it......They’re a disgrace to the imperial soldiers!”
The gatekeepers were staring at the captured soldiers.
Well, normally, people would get mad.
After he finished the explanation, Albert handed over the soldiers.
They were being hit while taking into custody, but, well, it’s the imperial capital’s problem now, I have nothing to do with it.
It can’t really be helped, these guys were trying to do sothing too unacceptable.
We said our farewells to the adventurers as well at this point.
They too were very misfortunate......However, it all ended safely. Were they lucky or unlucky.......?
“Zest-sama, thank you so much. We will never in this life forget your kindness.....”
“Don’t worry about it, besides, if you say such things to a noble, they would really take you away, you know? Saying thanks is more than enough.”
I’ve already decided, I have already made my mind about this.
For so reason, the won were staring at Albert.
I’ll make training for him two tis harder, this ‘good-looking’ Albert...
After they bowed to us for several tis, the adventurers followed after the soldiers.
It would be an investigation, but I’m sure it’ll end by evening.
With this our business was finished. Let’s enter the city already!
“Well now, my father-in-law is resting at the mont. Do you want to check inside the carriage too?”
I looked at the gatekeeper and inford him about this.
It seed like I was asking a question, but, in fact, I wasn’t.
‘We are the Frontier Count’s family. Let us enter the city already, we are tired.’
This conversion would be the correct one.
And so, since the gatekeeper was a decent soldier, his answer was:
“Thank you, but there is no need. You can pass.”
Sothing like this.
If he were to want to check the carriage:
‘You don’t trust the Frontier Count’s family? Die then!’
It would have turned up like this.
Being a noble sure is scary.
The rattling carriage advanced on its way.
Finally, the imperial capital. For now, I’ll just have to inform the palace of our arrival and wait for further orders.
The Frontier Count’s Household has a mansion here, so I’ll just wait there.
We passed through the huge gate and entered the city.
This is amazing. I ended up looking around restlessly.
This really is a city one would call an imperial capital.
It’s extrely wide and beautifully maintained, just like a large, red, deep-water scorpionfish.
And because of the large number of people, I almost forgot I was in a different world.
All that sowhat tranquil atmosphere I encountered up until this point, was completely gone in this city.
I really ca to a city......I strongly felt it.
I sohow missed this tumult, it made think of Japan.
It would be great if I could stroll around a bit before going back.
Our mansion was very close to the palace......in a corner where many noble residences were lined up. It was beautifully maintained by a bunch of exclusive maids and it seed serviceable at any ti.
It must cost a lot of money though, it’s sohow wasteful.
It’s only occasionally used anyway.....But still, this is also one way for nobles to show off.
I gave orders to inform the palace of our arrival and entered the mansion.
I inford the servants that I would rest in my room until dinner ti, and I took an afternoon nap.
I find it hard to cope with all-nighters....I’m a middle aged guy after all, you’ll have to pardon .
By the way, master seed to go to sleep as well.
That’s why it was all right for to do the sa. I must be thankful of my master’s hangover.
It’s been a while since I’ve slept in a fluffy bed.
I imdiately entered the realm of dreams.
I sohow heard soone knocking at my door and a maid called out to .
“Zest-sama, the dinner preparations are complete.”
“Good.”
Forgive if I seem too unsociable at the mont.
That’s because the exchange diary was floating right in front of ........
I understand, I must write sothing in it.
