Chapter 131 - Episode Six
Lark’s mansion was surrounded by high walls.
The fence was repainted in places, and there were traces of raw garbage on it.
I don’t think it was painted because it was peeling off.
It might have been painted by graffiti.
The fact that they continue to speak ill of him even after they’ve done this to him, shows that theyhas a lot of guts.
I’m wanting not to see him more and more.
“Abel, that’s……”
Mea gives me a signal with her eyes.
Euris, who was walking ahead of us, had noticed our situation and had a complicated look on her face.
“…… let’s not look at her too much.”
I whispered back, and Mea gave a small nod.
A well-built, short-haired man with a weapon stood at the gate.
The fact that there were occasional raids was apparently not an exaggeration.
I wonder if this is a viable lord.
“Ah, Euris-dono! You’ve just been told to rest, and you’ve been in another bout!”
The gatekeeper man shouts out when he finds a mock sword in Euris’ possession.
I’ve been wondering why she’s carrying a mock sword, she was apparently undergoing rehabilitation.
Come to think of it, I feel that she is walking like she’s protecting her feet.
“Rather than that, I want to take these people to my lord’s home.”
“…… I don’t recognize them, who are they? No, but………you shouldn’t let them see my lord…… You see, my lord is a difficult man! I’ll just ask for a brief statement of the situation and a few details, but if my lord still wants to see them, that’s fine……”
The gatekeeper suggested, in a roundabout way, to avoid meeting with the lord.
I’ve already come to this point, but on the contrary, I’m starting to get scared to see him
“These are the people who ended Nalgarn’s life and saved the territory. We can’t allow them to leave without a word of thanks from our lord.”
…… I don’t really want to see them if I can help it.
For now, let’s be careful not to say anything unnecessary.
“Na-, Nalgarn, you say? That’s not possible……”
“Apparently Nalgarn was quite exhausted when we launched the attack the other day. It wasn’t simply to heal his injuries but to generate a single head. A reasonable price was needed, I suppose. That battle of ours was not in vain!”
When Euris smiled slightly, the gatekeeper showed a broad smile.
“Ha, haha…… that’s good, right? If you think about it, there’s no way nothing happened after receiving all those attacks! Come to think of it, I don’t think Nalgarn didn’t look like he was in a lot of pain, too.”
…… Should I hide that head, after all?
No, but if you handle it well, you’ll get rich……
If you have the money, you can even start developing a cellphone (magi-phone) after your life here has settled down.
I don’t want to let go of that head.
“My lord is in his office on the second floor. Oh…… and don’t forget to knock on the door……”
The gatekeeper said as if to add, and Euris nodded as if to say that she understood.
It’s a basic matter, so I don’t think it’s necessary to give advice for, but he might be the kind of guy who will cut your head off if you forget to knock.
I have to watch my attitude too.
If it comes down to it, I’ll be ready to teleport the Asura 5000 and escape.
The inside of the mansion was lavishly built, as expected of a lord.
A corridor so long that the end of the bend seemed small, a red rug that exuded a flamboyant yet graceful look, and a chandelier made from a combination of magic ore and glasswork.
At the corner of the corridor was a girl in an apron dress holding a broom.
She must be a servant.
After bowing to Euris, she looked at me, Mea, and Elia curiously, and then hurriedly bowed her head as she remembered.
“This looks great~ Mea would like to live in a mansion like this too.”
Mea looked around the corridor restlessly, her eyes shining.
“…… Ms. Customer’s husband would be able to build a castle or two sooner or later.”
“Me-Mea and Abel, well, let’s just say that Mea and Abel don’t have that kind of relationship yet…… Uh, um, Abel……”
“Wow, what kind of magic ore is that? Based on the color, this isn’t your average rail tight. Do you have a combination of about three different types? I’d like to crush it up and observe it once……”
“Please don’t take them off without permission, okay?”
Euris reminded me.
It was not my intention to do so, but if I show my true colors in front of the lord, it could give a negative impression.
I must pull myself together.
At the top of the stairs, there was a large door.
“Pl-, please wait a moment, I’ll knock on it for a moment, please don’t move from there!”
“Eh…oh, yes.”
When I return it while I’m dumbfounded, Euris quickly moves to the door and bends back.
…… I wonder if knocking is some kind of secret word?
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand it because I grew up in the country.
When Euris put her ear to the door, a loud voice came from the room.
“N-, no, no, Mr. Lark! Please stop!”
“I can’t take it anymore! You, just a servant, dare to go against me! Shut up and stay put!”
“N-, no! Ca-, calm down, please!”
…… This was a guy who shouldn’t have come now, wasn’t it?
“Um, I think we should go home for now……”
“La-, Lark-sama!? What are you doing!”
Euris kicked through the door in a great hurry.
Behind the open door, Isaw the figure of a man who seemed to be the lord Lark.
He was a red-haired man, just like the rumors.
Lark was standing on a desk, clinging to a rope attached to a chandelier in the center of the ceiling.
The end of the rope was in the shape of a circle, just large enough to fit through a single human head.
On Lark’s back, a girl with indigo hair was hugging and struggling to stop him.
She was also dressed in an apron dress, like a servant.
“Shut up! You people don’t like me, right! I know, you know! I hate you guys as much as you do, idiot!”
Lark was yelling and strongly tugging at the rope, causing the chandelier to shake loudly.
“Calm down, my lord, I, Marias is on your side no matter what, right? Right? So please get off the desk!”
The servant girl says this with a half-shout.
“Ye-, yeah……”
Seeing that so much miserable behavior, I couldn’t help but don’t think that I was plainly surprised.
“With everything! You put the blame on me! After all, the drought, bad harvest and Nalgarn were all my fault? Am I a god or something! If I had such power, I would curse and kill all the guys who threw eggs at the window. Stop making fun of me”
…… So the graffiti was done after all.
Of course, there wouldn’t be anyone who can take that much severe harassment and insult and still be composed about it.
In the midst of a severe food shortage, throwing a bunch of fertilized eggs at them, how much do the people here risk their lives to harass him.
Either eat or raise them.
“Icarus will do whatever he wants without consulting us! And no amount of flying pogues (the bird that carries the message) is going to bring any help! I mean, I’ve done everything I could! I’ve cut back a lot on my food! I tried to grow some crops to try and do something with them, but you guys were the ones who climbed up the wall and sprayed the ditch water on them and let them rot!”
To top it all off, he hugged the servant girl, who was clearly younger than he was, and began burying his face in her and wailing at her. At the desk.
“There, there, It’s alright. Marias knows that Lark-sama is doing his best, I know it all, so please calm down.”
Is he a child, the lord here.
We looked at Lark’s rounded back with a drawn-out face.
Lark was sobbing occasionally and his shoulders were shaking.
The servant girl, who called herself Marias, looked up first.
“Um………Euris-sama, as you can see, we’re busy now, so if you can come back later……”
The servant girl blinks her big, long-lashed eyes, as if she noticed after saying that much, and looks at me.
“…… H-, huh, who are those people?”
“These are the people who defeated Nalgarn. I had to get my lord’s to hear it as soon as possible……”
“De-, defeat Nargarn……?”
Marias stared at me with eyes that seemed to see something incredible.
“Yes, well, it seems that he was quite weak at the stage when we dropped his head once. Um, at the stage where we dropped its head once the other day……”
Euris must have her pride, too, because she said it twice, deliberately keeping the volume of her voice low, as if to remind herself.
Marias looked at me and Eurice in turn with a gaping mouth.
She looked as if she was truly wrapped up in a fox.
“You-, you-, you defeated Nalgarn!, you say Re-, really! You’re not lying to me, right!”
Lark brushed Marias off and slid down the desk as he crawled.
There was a dull sound as he seemed to hit the back of his head on the floor.
I ignored the fact that Euris ran up to her and reached out to her, and she continued to close the distance to me.
“Ye-, yeah…… yes……”
“Ohhhh…… Ohhhhhh, thank you, thank you, we’re saved…… really, you saved us……”
Lark squeezed my hand and sobbed in place.
