Chapter 31: Arrival

My head hurtsZest, cant you heal hangovers?

I can, but I wont, master.

Alcohol is considered a good medicine when consumed in proper quantities. It would be very difficult to heal it with magic, dont you think?

That might be true..Ah! I feel so sick

My foolish father, who had no memories of yesterdays banquet, and I were shaken inside the carriage.

My master is very weak against alcohol.

Moreover, when he gets to that point he even forgets everything hes said or done, he becomes uncontrollable.

Really now.Yesterday, he didnt only talk about the young ladys dark mole, but also about when precisely her chest started to grow big only to give me a finishing blow afterwards.

Zest, did you know? Even though Bea looks quite slender in clothing, her chest is amazing. Theres a rumor amongst the maids saying that her chest is very soft and springy and it smells really good, you know? So nice..its soft. So, what was your first impression?

As if I would know, we still havent.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, youve said too much.

He might have been under a lot of stressmy poor father-in-law.Will I be the same in future? Im a son-in-law too after all

While staring at the other pitiful son-in-law, our journey continued uninterrupted.

Welcome to the imperial capital. Excuse me, but I have to know your family name.

We are from the Varnam Frontier Counts Household. Inside the carriage are the Magic Division Commander Sonia and Lord Zest.

Oh, we arrived..Because I havent slept at all yesterday, I was absent minded and I havent even realized.

Master was sound asleep, as one would expect.

Thank you. What about these captured soldiers?

These guys

Albert explained the situation.

Ill leave it to him, Im still sleepy and I dont really want to bother.

Slaves!? I cant believe itTheyre 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.

It cant really be helped, these guys were trying to do something too unacceptable.

We said our farewells to the adventurers as well at this point.

They too were very misfortunateHowever, it all ended safely. Were they lucky or unlucky.?

Zest-sama, thank you so much. We will never in this life forget your kindness..

Dont 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.

Ive already decided, I have already made my mind about this.

For some reason, the women were staring at Albert.

Ill make training for him two times harder, this good-looking Albert

After they bowed to us for several times, the adventurers followed after the soldiers.

It would be an investigation, but Im sure itll end by evening.

With this our business was finished. Lets enter the city already!

Well now, my father-in-law is resting at the moment. Do you want to check inside the carriage too?

I looked at the gatekeeper and informed him about this.

It seemed like I was asking a question, but, in fact, I wasnt.

We are the Frontier Counts 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.

Something like this.

If he were to want to check the carriage:

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, Ill just have to inform the palace of our arrival and wait for further orders.

The Frontier Counts Household has a mansion here, so Ill just wait there.

We passed through the huge gate and entered the city.

This is amazing. I ended up looking around restlessly.

Its extremely 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.

I really came to a cityI strongly felt it.

I somehow missed this tumult, it made me think of Japan.

It would be great if I could stroll around a bit before going back.

Our mansion was very close to the palacein a corner where many noble residences were lined up. It was beautifully maintained by a bunch of exclusive maids and it seemed serviceable at any time.

Its 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 find it hard to cope with all-nighters.Im a middle aged guy after all, youll have to pardon me.

By the way, master seemed to go to sleep as well.

Thats why it was all right for me to do the same. I must be thankful of my masters hangover.

Its been a while since Ive slept in a fluffy bed.

I immediately entered the realm of dreams.

I somehow heard someone knocking at my door and a maid called out to me.

Zest-sama, the dinner preparations are complete.

Good.

Forgive me if I seem too unsociable at the moment.

Thats because the exchange diary was floating right in front of me..

I understand, I must write something in it.
