I Don’t Want To Inherit A Feudal Estate So I’ll Just Throw Everything On My Brother And Live As I Please - Chapter 112
“Meeting the Lord and the Return of Gyrmzak and the others.”
Translated by Dawn
“Lords Conference and the Return of Gyrmzak and the others.”
“You’re the hero who saved Orargrand.”
While I was making egg sandwiches in the comfort of my home, I was summoned by the lord of Orargrand, who was finally finished with the work related to the attack of the demon race.
The lord of Orargrand, which was the largest labyrinth city in the kingdom of Schells, was ruled by a nobleman with the rank of marquis, one rank lower than that of a duke.
His name was Marvis von Belmonzetta, a mild-looking middle-aged man in his forties. Well, I was not going to let my guard down, since my first impression of him was just that he looked that way, and I never know what he was thinking in his heart.
“Thank you again for saving Orargrand.”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t do it for the good of the city.”
“Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that you saved the city. By the way, Rolando-kun. I think you will be asked to go to the Royal Capital, so keep that in mind.”
It’s going to be like that after all… The king was not so foolish as to leave a person who not only saved a city but also defeated the mighty demon race alone. He would probably want to see what kind of person he was and what he was like. And if it looked like he could be a part of the kingdom, the king would try to bring him in without hesitation, but I wasn’t that kind of person.
At any rate, I had been thinking for some time that I needed to find out what kind of person was at the top of this country, so meeting the king itself would not be a problem. Even if I ran away, he would come after me by any means possible….
“Did you receive a letter from the royal capital?”
“No, it hasn’t arrived yet, but His Majesty the King is not so lenient as to leave a human being who is fighting a demon race on an equal footing. I’m sure that in half a month at the earliest, you will receive a letter with an order to summon you to the royal castle.”
“Just asking, do you have the right to veto the summons?”
“No. Do you think there is?”
I shook my head from side to side at Marvis’s words. I guess I had to meet him after all.
I leave the lord’s mansion after a brief conversation with him. He invited me to dinner, but I declined, citing the good reason that I had other business to attend to.
Marvis seemed to be one of the most conscientious of lords, and he had no intention of using me as a pawn in his plot, or of taking advantage of me, and he really just wanted to thank me.
As an aristocrat, I was tempted to think that was okay, but for me, the fact that there was no troublesome solicitation made a very favorable impression.
For a while after that, I continued the production of goods for the Greg trading company and the dungeon attack, and after about 12 days of this cycle, Gyrmzak and the others returned to Orargrand.
On the morning of the twelfth day, when I was about to head to the workshop to finish my meal and perform the daily routine maintenance of the golems, I received a visitor.
“Master! Master, over here!”
“Hmm? Are those Gyrmzak and the others?”
At the gate of my home were Gyrmzak and others who had been instructed to escort the merchants of a commercial guild on their way to the royal capital. Thinking that standing around at the gate was not a good idea, I invited them into my house and asked them what they were doing. Apparently, they had arrived at the capital safely, completed the procedures for the completion of the request, and returned immediately.
“Did you encounter any bandits?”
“Yeah, but we beat the hell out of them!”
“It was no big deal, was it?”
“That’s right.”
“It was very easy, Master.”
I was told that there were a number of troublesome bandits spreading out across the area, but apparently, they were not a threat in front of the four of them. Well, it might be that there was no such thing as a strong bandit, because bandits themselves were no longer able to make a living as adventurers, or they were reduced to being a bandit because they were in need of food.
The strength of the bandits was at a level that even Olberto and the others who accompanied Gyrmzak and the others could handle without difficulty, so in effect, Gyrmzak and the others hardly had any problem.
“So, Master….can I ask you something?”
“About what?”
“Why are you getting so strong?”
“Ah?”
Come to think of it, Gyrmzak and the others left Orargrand before I met Nagartinya and trained with her for three years. But still, how could they have realized that I had become stronger? I asked them about it, but they replied with a dumbfounded jittery look in their eyes.
“How can you put up such a fabulous atmosphere and then claim you’re not getting stronger! It was as if we were facing off against a dragon!”
They, too, were A-rank adventurers, and they seemed to be able to understand the strength of their opponents to some extent by the atmosphere. Well, I guess you couldn’t be an A-rank if you didn’t have that kind of ability.
“Ah, by the way, I reached A-rank too.”
““““Huh?””””
Then, as a status report, I summarized what had happened while Gyrmzak and the others were away. I told them that I had become stronger in a short period of time, that a demon race had attacked and I had fought them off, and that I had been honored as a hero.
“Fighting off the demons, that’s just so messed up!”
“How did you fight them off!”
“I feel like Master is getting farther away again.”
“That’s my master!”
As each of them showed their own reactions, the conversation was over for now, and Gyrmzak and the others seemed to have decided to go to the Adventurers’ Guild once. But before that, Gyrmzak dropped one bomb here.
“Oh, by the way, Olberto said something about wanting his reward dish to be served quickly?”
“What?”
“I thought you had an agreement.”
I had made a promise, but to tell the truth, I was going to leave it undone. Cooking was good if you wanted to eat it, but it was a lot of work to make it. And this time, since I was supposed to pay him as a reward for the commission, I was supposed to give him a free meal.
However, it would be a matter of my reputation to renege on my promise once made, so I decided to serve him the food this time…….
I concluded in my mind and headed to the Adventurer’s Guild with Gyrmzak and the others to meet up with Olberto and the others.
