Chapter 124: Welcome Party
Oh guests~Death?
Boom!
Maria like always came out through the walls in a fluffy way. Oh I forgot to tell her to be quiet upstairs.
Oh my God youre so cute!
Thank you~Death.
Nina held Maria in her hands and the girl and the French doll looked quite good together. Everyone was smiling seeing this.
The small children were very excited to see the food.
Then I would like to start this welcome party with Kiel and his family.
Everyone wanted to eat so I decided to start the party with a quick hello.
Yes!Lets eat!!!!
Kurena also suggested that we eat quickly.
Kiel and Nina took their seats but the other six refused to take theirs.
What?
(Oh why dont you take a seat?)
Oh guys Ive been telling you this for a while. Thats enough. Lets have dinner together.
Yes sir. Kiel.
Dont call me that.
Im sorry
A man about 15 years old older than Kiel apologized to Kiel. They never looked like siblings because of their looks and facial features. Kiel and Nina were the only two blondes among the eight of them.
(Still a family is a family isnt it?)
I remembered hearing about families in this world from head manservant Rickel a long time ago.
Cecile also seemed to have noticed something about the situation.
Come on theres plenty to eat so lets start already.
I said and all of us began to pick up a large slice of bread or meat that was placed on the table. Some of the children seemed to be quite hungry and gobbled up the food. Kurena and Dogora started to eat as well and the food we had bought from the store was dwindling fast.
I was glad that we bought more food than I predicted. We had bought more food than he could fit on this table. They were a little nervous about coming to this building but the food seemed to have eased everyones tension.
(They are ridiculously young. I can see why Kiel was skipping lunch.)
I calmed myself down and thought about the seven people that Kiel brought with him.
No Allen. Honestly this whole base thing has been a huge help thank you.
He was pretty much on the edge of his life.
No no youre welcome. Kiel.
You know after all youve done for me. Can you please stop saying Kiel? I want you to talk to me like the other three.
{TLN: Most of you may have already understood but still let me explain. Allen has been calling Kiel Kiel-san till now and that cant be interpreted in English. Now Kiel is asking to remove the san.}
(Oh nice! Looks like he wants to join the party permanently!)
While everyone was laughing and chattering Kiel asked me to talk to him more casually.
Then I will Kiel.
Oh.
But I didnt think Kiel was a Noble.
Cecile seemed to have guessed from the conversation between Kiel and the servant-like person that Kiel was a Noble.
Oh Im sorry I didnt tell you. Its just that I used to be a Noble.
Used to? What do you mean?
Keil told us that he was a Noble. He said that there had been a recent uproar and his house had been taken down. His house was gone but he and his sister and there are servants who have served him were still alive. He took them all in.
Well Im sorry to hear that.
Dont worry about it. I didnt get much of a Noble upbringing. Thats why my language is messy. That said Cecile is more Noble-like.
Oh? Im a Noble though.
Apparently we hadnt introduced ourselves very well. For the past month or so we hadnt had any formal introductions or conversations since I first introduced everyone briefly.
Kiel didnt have time to listen to me either.
Huh?
Kiels servants were all surprised at the conversation between Kiel and Cecile. Some of them tried to stand up saying that they had been seated together.
Oh its all right. Theres no Nobles or commoners or anything like that in the Academy.
Cecile hurriedly told them that it was no problem. The people sitting here now were children who had been educated on how to treat Nobles. The servants sat down in response to Ceciles words.
(Could the recently demolished Noble family be)
I knew one Noble family that had recently been demolished.
And yet Brother Kiel are you sure we can live in such a nice house?
As I was thinking about Kiels situation Nina who was holding Maria in her lap called out to him. It sounds like shes trying to change the subject somehow.
Oh yes. They said theyll pay you if you do the house chores. So work hard.
Yes.
Everyone responded loudly including the little ones.
(No I didnt expect them to be this little. But then again I have worked as a manservant since I was eight years old. Is that normal in this world?)
Yeah well just take it easy. Ill be away sometimes but take care.
Yes!
Kiels servants responded.
Are you still going to the dungeon when youre away from home brother?
Nina looked quite worried. Maybe she was more worried about Kiel than she was about the money he had been bringing in for the past month or so.
Ceciles expression turned sad at the conversation. Ninas concern for her brothers well-being seemed to overlap with her worry she had for Mihais.
Oh Nina. Dont worry. Were all strong.
Is that so?
I looked at Kurena as she crunched down on a large piece of bread.
So what are we going to do now?
Dogora asks me about our future plans with meat in hand.
Dogora has seen up close what I have done in the Kurena Village so he doesnt say much about the policy. However he often asked at base about what we were going to do.
He didnt say anything special when I made Kiel a party member. He didnt seem to have the personality to say that Kiel was good or bad. Dogora has become somewhat of a warrior I thought.
Tomorrow Id like to help you move your things and get any furniture we might be missing. We might need to collect a little money from everyone.
Oh okay.
Since weve been sharing our rewards for almost two months everyone including me has more than ten Gold coins. I said that we should collect and buy what we need immediately and other things little by little.
You all get along well dont you?
Nina asked after seeing how Dogora and I were doing.
Thats right. Me Kurena there and Dogora are from the same village.
Yeah they get along really well.
Kiel also joined the conversation.
Well me and Kurena come from a serf background. Were commoners now though after all that.
I took this opportunity to talk about myself as well.
What? Is that so? Sorry if I sound rude but you dont look like that at all.
Kiel told us about his complicated situation and I took the opportunity to talk about myself as well.
Allen has always been like this. Even in the village everyone said that he doesnt look like a serf.
Yeah Allens the same as always.
Dogora and Kurena agreed.
(No Im growing up too.)
Hmm? You mean Cecile was a Noble of that territory? Lord of the territory or something like that?
Kiel noticed that Cecile who was with us all the time was not present in our story.
Yeah Allen became a manservant to the Lord when he was eight years old.
Oh yeah I didnt expect him to come to the Academy with me!
Im kind of jealous. I didnt have any friends my age. Who did you work for?
What? Didnt I tell you? I worked for the Granvelle Family.
Granvelle? Didnt you just say Granvelle? What? Well what about Cecile?
Kiels hands stopped holding his food. Then his gaze went towards Cecile.
Cecile is the daughter of Viscount Granvelle.
Thud
Huh?
Both Kiel and his servants stood up at Kurenas answer. Kurena and Dogora were surprised by the situation. Is there a problem?
Mis- Miss Nina please step back!
Then the oldest servant told Nina to step back to hide from us. Nina couldnt follow the conversation and was confused. The same went for the smaller servants.
Well I mean Oh no. Ugh thats not true!
Kiels tone was one of disbelief as he looked at Cecile.
What are you talking about? Im Cecile Granvelle of the Granvelle Family.
Kiels expression changed from surprise to hatred. His eyes were filled with hatred as if he was looking at the murderer of his parents.
Oh yeah Oh its you. Yo- how dare you destroy my house! You destroyed my Carnell Family!
Kiel shouted at Cecile as if he was going to throw up.
