- 217-Chapter 15 -3 Hello, baby!
Sister! The story of the Primera.
Albert, shut up for a second.
Albert also thought it was about Primera, and he tried to stop Angela’s words in a hurry, but on the contrary, Angela glared at him and he fell silent.
‘Albert, I’m not going to rehash the story your father ended. Apart from my personal feelings, at least as someone involved in the Duke of Sangha’s family, I have no intention of disputing the head of the family’s decision.
When Albert and I heard those words, I couldn’t help but nod my head, as if to say, if that was the case, what are we talking about?
‘What I’m asking is …………I need you to sign this.
Angela took out a picture book that Angela wanted me to sign, and she took out a book.
‘This is…’
That was the first book, based on a story from my childhood and supervised by Maria. After that, I heard that three more picture books were published by the same author, and it has become a popular series among children.
I was trying to find a way to get my youngest child to sign the book through her father, but I apologized for the incident with Albert, and I thought I’d like to say hello to him directly.
That’s what he said. I suppose there was a reason for him to look at me for the primera thing, but more than that, it seems that the purpose was to connect our faces as the Cagliostro family, and to sign off on it. Well, Albert’s apology would have been one of the purposes, but since it was something I could have asked for in a letter or from the Duke of Sangha about it, Albert would have just been used. However, it would have been a decision for Albert to be angry, but staying at our house would have been the best situation for Angela to be in. Perhaps the Duke of Sanga also lent Albert to me with that intention.
”Yes, I don’t mind that much. But I can’t write very well, can I?
I’ve only signed so many books in my life, and that’s because I’ve only ever signed so many books. By the way, we only have two signed books, four each for Maria and Yoshitsune.
When I told her that, Angela said she should have brought other books with her, so I decided to sign the other three books we had at home.
‘My boy will love these! So, in the thick of it, perhaps your sister Rachel’s kids will want an autograph too, so thank you for that.
It’s fine for me to sign the papers, but I’ve decided to leave the older sister’s kid’s portion with the Duke of Sangha. As expected, I don’t want to set up a discussion like today’s again, so if we really need to meet, I’ll ask Duke Sangha to make it a party style. That way, it would be easier for me mentally, since I might be able to prepare a road companion as well, rather than a wall…….or even a sacrifice……such as Cain or Leon.
When we finished talking, I invited Angela-san to lunch as she was just ready for lunch, but she said she had a packed schedule after this, and she had to take Albert around with her to do some things. When Albert heard this, he looked at Angela with a surprised look on his face, but he nodded meekly, as if he felt he couldn’t object.
I headed to the front door to see Angela and Albert off, who said they would be coming back later to pick up Albert’s luggage and that they would be leaving without them.
Hmm? Oh, it’s been a while.
It’s been a long time, Master Lyle.
On the way, he met Lyle-sama, who was walking down the corridor. The two of them were close in age, and apparently they knew each other as seniors and juniors in the school.
After a brief greeting and small talk on the spot, Angela-san and Albert headed to the carriage, and Lyle-sama followed them to see them off. He said they knew each other, but they may have been reasonably close friends.
‘Well then, let’s have lunch! ……..and I hope it doesn’t get messy.
Lyle-sama’s last muttered words gave me an ominous feeling, but I couldn’t hear them because I arrived at the dining room before I heard them.
‘So everyone has their own bowl of rice ready then……..so who’s your first pick?
The nomination of the ingredients for the seafood bowl by Namitaro’s souvenir began. The first ingredient that everyone pointed to was…..
I guess tuna tataki is the most popular. Then it’s rock-paper-scissors.
Okay, see you later.
Apparently Leni-san chose it because it was her first time, but it seemed like a hurdle to choose it for the first time.
Leni carefully spooned in the spoon, going over the rules, and tried to quickly transfer it to the bowl, but
Well, it’s not going to be that easy, is it?
I failed and didn’t get on the bowl much.
‘Well then, it’s our turn!
Chris led the group in a game of rock-paper-scissors for tuna tataki.
Number one, you get it!
Number two, I got it!
Number three.
Aura was the one who took the first prize, Amour was second, and I was third.
”This time……..ah…….”
Pfft………………………
Aura and Amur planned to get a large number of them and tried to salvage the center from the bottom… but they both failed and were only able to scoop up a small amount.
So I’m going to aim for this place and… well, that’s okay?
I put the spoon in through the gap created by their failure and was able to scoop up quite a bit of food. Chris and Jeanne, who were watching them, imitated me and put the spoon into the bowl and put almost ten times as much on the bowl as Aura and Amour. Well, even though it was ten times as much, it was only a small amount for the two of them, so even Grandpa and Lyle-sama, who failed a bit, had three to four times as much on their bowl.
”Well then, let’s have it.”
When everyone’s bowl of rice was completed, we all gathered to start eating….
Again!
Amour and Master Lyle had finished their food quickly and were about to plunge into their second drink.
‘We’re late to the party!’
Don’t you two have too much!
Chris and Grandpa also finished their food and went for a refill after they were defeated.
Okay, water.
Aura was choking on her cheeks from her hurried attempts to catch up with the four of them, and Jeanne had to take care of her.
After such a noisy lunch was over, each of them were relaxing to their hearts’ content, when they saw Lyle-sama going to the bathroom, so they followed him.
‘Lyle-sama, can I ask you a few questions?’
What’s the matter with you?
I waited for him to come out of the bathroom and went straight to my room. Master Lyle was momentarily alarmed as I entered the room and locked the door, but he quickly let his guard down and sat down in a nearby chair.
‘So, what do you want to ask me about before you lock the door?’
‘I heard him muttering ‘I hope it doesn’t get nasty’ after he left Angela,’
After Lyle-sama showed a surprised face at my direct question, he sighed deeply.
”I didn’t mean to say it out loud…”
‘It was so quiet, I don’t think anyone but me could hear it.
When I said that only I, who happened to be nearby, could hear it, Lyle-sama looked a little reluctant, but quickly became serious.
‘Well, it can’t be helped that he heard me, and for now it’s only a prediction like ‘maybe’, but to put it simply, ‘there’s a chance that the royalists might crack,’ and that’s what I thought when I saw Angela.
‘Royalists split? Does this mean that Angela-san might create a new faction?
I’ll tell you that it didn’t look like that.
‘No, I don’t think Angela has any intention of doing that. If anyone is going to be the head of a faction, it’s her father, the Duke of Sangha.
There are several factions in the kingdom’s aristocracy, the three most famous being the ‘Royalist’, ‘Reformed’, and ‘Neutral’ factions, and the other factions are said to be less than half of the smallest of the three, the ‘Neutral’ faction, when all the rest are combined.
Within those factions, there are several more factions. For example, in the case of the ‘Royalty Faction’, there’s the central faction led by your father, the royal faction in the north, and the royal faction in the east……
Incidentally, the faction with the king at the center belongs to Lyle-sama and the other royalty, the Duke of Sanga, the Marquis of Sammons, and the nobles called Haust Frontier Count.
”But there’s a nobleman from the royalist faction who’s increased his influence all at once in recent times.
Is that the Duke of Sangha?
”That’s right. In addition to the original influence, in recent years three of his children have been married to influential noblemen. Furthermore, the adopted daughter of the family of the next head of the family of the head of the family (Albert)’s fiancée is the lover of the most likely candidate for the future king. With all this, it’s not surprising that decades from now, someone who is directly descended from the Duke of Sangha’s family could become the king. There isn’t, and it doesn’t mean you won’t suddenly have ambitions. You never know what’s in a person’s heart.
Certainly, I can understand Lyle-sama’s fears, but that would have been mentioned before, and that wouldn’t have led to me unintentionally muttering to myself when I saw Angela-san.
When I told her about it, Lyle-sama thought for a moment before she
‘Temma, when you heard Angela was coming, what did you think she was going to talk about?
Huh? I thought it was, well … a story about my marriage to Primera.
Master Lyle nodded in reply.
”Angela’s actions would have made the other nobles think as much as Temma thought. In other words, some might suspect that Duke Sanga is using his daughter to draw Temma, the ‘dragon killer’ and strongest adventurer in the world, into his camp. What’s more, Temma is very popular with the residents of the royal capital. If such a Temma were to join the faction created by the Duke of Sangha, the Duke of Sangha would gain power, strength and popularity. If he wants to, he could even start a new country.
It may seem like very much overthinking it, but if we’re just talking about possibilities, there’s certainly nothing that can’t be done.
Even if Duke Sanga didn’t have the intention to do so, there might be other nobles who act on their own with the thought that maybe there might be someone who will act on their own with the thought of doing so, or someone who will leap into the dark to confuse the royalist faction…….like the ‘reformist’ nobles.
As a reformer who is being differed from the royalist faction, he could reduce the power of the royalist faction by simply putting the Duke of Sangha and the royalty at odds, even if he couldn’t do that, he could just plant suspicion.
Well, these problems tend to occur in connection with aristocratic marriages and the like. In fact, it’s not an uncommon story, since it came up during Albert’s engagement and Angela’s marriage, but it’s a hassle to take countermeasures every time it happens.
‘Could it be that Angela said she had other places to go…’
I’m sure it’s just a precaution.
‘Maybe a party would be better. Even if you leave it with me and give it to me, as a nobleman, I’d still prefer to meet you in person to thank you, so I’d have to meet you anyway. If that’s the case, I think it’s easier to give it to them at a party, because it can be done at once. But since you’re only giving it to Rachel, it’s inevitable that you’ll be seen as giving her special treatment.
I’ve heard that this is the case, but if you give it to the Duke of Sanga first and then pass it on through the Duke of Sanga, it should be possible to avoid the problem to some extent.
”Incidentally, if you send an invitation to that party to Tida in the name of Duke Sanga, you can show how close the royal family and the Duke Sanga’s family are. Fortunately, Tida’s lover Amy is Elisabeth’s sister-in-law, so it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the invitation was sent out because of that relationship.
I’ll take Master Lyle’s advice to the King and the Duke of Sangha at the earliest opportunity. I know they’re probably both thinking the same thing, but my political skills are either tacked on or pushed too hard, so we’ll have to be prepared to move as they see fit.
”Well, since Temma is the one involved, we can leave the hard stuff to your father, your brother, and the Duke of Sanga. With those three, it’s not a bad thing… well, maybe we should mix your mother in as well. Your father and Duke Sanga will be fine, but your brother is going to take advantage of Temma with all his might.
As for Caesar-sama, he doesn’t have as much of a relationship with the kings as they do, so I can’t say that’s not the case, but I think it’s possible that he could be used for the benefit of the royal family.
Let’s report to your mother from my end.
I’ve decided to ask Lyle-sama to report to the kings. It would be easier to throw the whole thing to the kings, and only after the movements of the royal family and the Sanga dukes are decided would it be easier to interfere.
”Well then, I shall return to the castle. I’m sure your mother will come or call on me soon, so please do me a favor then.
I could have done it in a hurry, and Lyle-sama said he was going back to the royal castle here, so I decided to ask him to wait a little while and prepare a souvenir. Lyle-sama may not have noticed, but even though he had the job of sending Namitaro, he would be disgusted if he found out that he was the only one who ate the delicious food.
”Well then, please give this to Maria-sama. As for the cooking, I’m sure Kryfe-san or Aina can do it.
I’m sorry. Thank you.
Lyle-sama looked at the souvenirs I had prepared for him and seemed to realize that Maria would have been sarcastic if I hadn’t, and he bowed his head deeply. The contents of the souvenirs are enough seafood and rice for a dozen or so people, and we decided to call it a joint name with Namitaro. This way, I wouldn’t be hacked off because I had eaten only Lyle-sama’s food.
After seeing Lyle-sama off until he was out of sight, I returned to the dining room…
Come on, man, we’re doing the best we can.
Hmmm~~!
Hang in there~! O-o-o-o-sa-ma~!
We all gathered around Namitarou and did something together.
”Mufu~…….good job! But I can’t!
I knew it was impossible~. Only Merlin and Jeanne are the only ones who have made it so far.
When Amur surrendered, Namitaro was lightly tapping the egg that Amur had just touched and done something with, and he made a disappointed sound.
‘What are you doing?’
‘Oh! Here comes the real deal! And now………Temma, here you are~
I called out to him, and Namitaro said, “I’ve been waiting for you! I don’t know why, but I beckoned to him in my Kyoto dialect.
Look, look, look, look, over here. I want you to put your hand on this egg and pour a little magic power into it. Just a little bit of magic! Just a little bit, please!
Okay.
Hmm? Temma, it’s my face you want to touch, not the eggs. Hey, Temma do you hear me?
I decided to play along with Namitaro, who was completely goofing around, and I decided to play a little bit too, and put my hands between Namitaro’s face. And.
Takemi…
“Wait a minute! That’s not right! Because that’s not a joke!
I was about to cast the most powerful magic that seemed to work the best, when Namitaro, I don’t know if he heard it from someone else or if he guessed it from his name, quickly pulled my hand away and backed away from me at a tremendous rate.
‘I’m just kidding. Even for me, I can’t use ‘Takemikazuchi’ without preparation… at best, my body will be tingly and numb.
“You may say it in a low voice, but Nami-chan Ear can hear you! You can’t chatter on a fish! You’re not allowed to fly for billiards!
An excited Namitaro said, “Bili is the enemy of the fish! Environmental destruction! God may forgive me, but Nami-chan won’t! He made a fuss about it.
‘So what the hell do you want me to do?
I want you to share the magic of Temma with this egg.
‘After all the noise you’ve made, what are you doing having a normal conversation with me…’
I waited for Namitaro’s excitement to subside, and when I asked him why he called me over, he told me what he wanted as if nothing had happened.
Chris, who was watching us, said something as if he could speak for everyone else’s minds, but I could only say it was because me and Namitaro had this kind of relationship, and I pretended I didn’t hear it because it was the usual thing.
‘Tenma used to pour magic into Solomon when he was hatching him, didn’t he? And I want you to do the same thing.
That Namitaro’s words convinced me that this egg was not an ordinary egg. Well, I knew it wasn’t an ordinary demon egg when the ‘appraisal’ didn’t ask, but…….I have a bit of a bad feeling about it.
”It looks like you are being cautious about something, but this is what this egg’s mother asked me to do. It is said that if you pour various magical powers into the child, it will produce a stronger child.
That’s not what I’m wary of, but I poured my magic into the egg, remembering what happened with Solomon, thinking that if the egg’s mother allowed it, it was fine.
‘Oh!’ It’s just that he’s experienced, and his magic is getting better and better at what he does!
It had been a while, but the infusion of magic power seemed to work… or rather, it seemed to work too well, and it took about as much magic power as I used ‘Tempest’. As a result.
It’s cracked!
You’re going to be born!
Hey, back off, you two, out of harm’s way!
The egg cracked, and Amour and Aura, who had been watching, tried to lean over and peer in, but an alarmed Chris-san pulled them away by the back collar, forcing them to keep their distance.
‘It’s out, it’s out~…………………..out!
Buhi~……..buhi……buhi?
With a crunching sound, a ‘turtle’ like creature emerged from the egg. Except for me and Namitaro, everyone else looked at the baby turtle-like demonic creature with pleasure or interest, but I was in a cold sweat. Because.
Species … behemoth
And that’s because it was in the ‘appraisal’. In this world, behemoths are a type of ancient dragon, a dragon that has no wings, but has a huge body that is well over a hundred meters in length. It is the most commonly sighted dragon species of the same individual, and because of its relatively gentle nature, it is not dangerous to watch from a distance, but because it is so huge, if you approach it carelessly, it can be caught in the shock of movement. Incidentally, the figure has the shape of a giant tortoise, but seems to basically live in the sea.
”Ah! I’m hiding in a shell!
The baby behemoth didn’t like being surrounded, and the baby behemoth pulled its head back to hide in its shell. While everyone was engrossed in such a sight, I pulled Namitaro out of the room and
What do you mean?
Have you been found out?
I thought about giving Namitaro, who was blubbering, a shot at the Takemikazuchi, but when he got down on his knees, I couldn’t bring myself to kill him.
I may have told you before, but my friend Hi-chan is the baby’s mother.
It was definitely a name I remember hearing. I didn’t ask because I had a very bad premonition even then, but that premonition seemed to have been correct. In the first place, I knew that when ‘appraisal’ didn’t work on the egg, I knew that that egg wasn’t an ordinary demon’s…….
When I told that to Namitaro, he said, “I wouldn’t bring in something weird! And for some reason he was angry, but there was no way he could make that argument after bringing in such a big and how suspicious the egg was.
‘Let’s leave that aside I’m just asking if you let it hatch on its own and your parent behemoths won’t get mad at you for it.
Namitaro grinned as he said it, concerned that everyone would not hear him.
Giddyup!
I was so pissed off that I punched Namitarou in the head as hard as I could. It wouldn’t have worked for me in the old days, but over the past few years my strength has become stronger and my use of magic has improved even more, so it seems that I can now deal damage to Namitaro with my bare hands. Well, it seems that I still take more damage from the recoil, and it looks like I’ve cracked a bone somewhere in my fist.
I’ll make sure that it doesn’t come to that, so you won’t have to come here. I might ask you to come over, though.
It would be much easier for me to go to see her than for you to come to King’s Landing. So I strongly reminded Namitaro to make sure to tell Hi-chan well when he meets her.
After my discussion with Namitaro was over, I went back to the dining room to check on the baby and found that before I left the dining room, Grandpa and the others had surrounded the eggs, but now they were just watching from a distance, with Slarin and the others following close by instead.
‘Oh, you’re back,’
What happened to you being so far away?
When I asked him what happened while he was gone, he said that the baby was stressed out from being surrounded by everyone, and he used his magic on his grandfather and the others. Fortunately, the magic that was used was only to produce water, and he said that Slarin absorbed it quickly, so there was no damage, but it produced quite a bit of water.
‘That’s why we got away from that little turtle,’ he said. That’s why Slarin and his friends stayed away from the hatchlings, perhaps because they were also demons, but the hatchlings were not alarmed by the three animals.
That’s why they’re having Slarin and the others to calm the baby down.
‘I have some information I should tell you about that but come over here for a moment.
What is it?
As I moved to the corner of the dining room with my grandfather, Chris and Amour tried to follow me, but I controlled them with my hand and instructed them to wait for me. And then.
What?
Grandpa’s voice echoed throughout the house when he heard what happened.
