109 Episode 109: Each Travel and Counts Territory in those days (1/2)

A few days later, my father and Loomia set out for the Earl of Glossaria.

”... I'm relieved the ritual is over. Now we can finally get back to our territory.”

My father in the carriage looked relieved.

Ever since he came to the Wang capital, he has remained nervous about preparing for rituals and meeting the royal minister.

Looks like I'm really relieved that it's all over.

”I'm sorry for the hard work. Father.”

”Whatever you say, whatever the result of Yuki's achievement”

My father laughed.

”I am also satisfied that the Baron family has become the Count family. The Baron House of Growth will often remain the same where it became the Count House of Growth. Well... maybe a little more hassle with territorial management.”

”I'm so sorry, Father”

”That's not why Yuki is so obnoxious. I've just spent my whole life on luck.”

”Good luck for the rest of your life?

”It's like a miracle when a baron becomes an Earl. Perhaps my generation will have no more birth. So my role from now on is to safely take over the Count family to the generations of Zeros and Yuki. If you think about it, this is your struggle.”

”Is that what it is”

”That's what it is.”

”Well, you were right about the souvenir I chose for Brother Zeros.”

”A souvenir to Zeros? What kind of stuff?

”It's a note about territorial management.”

That's certainly what Odette said.

As promised, he delivered an excerpt from the Territorial Management book.

I already gave it to Loomia and put it in the souvenir.

”I hope that helps you, Brother Zeros.”

”You guys are really close...”

Is that it?

My father is crying.

”I... tore you apart... and pulled in a tutor's cahel... and regretted it every time I thought about it...”

”Yes, yes, Father. Let's get in the carriage.”

Tong, and Loomia pushed my father's back.

”Oh, hey, wait, roomia. I still need to talk to Yuki...”

”We don't have time. Father. Now it's Roomia's turn.”

”Ugh... ok. Good luck, Yuki. Watch your body. Then Martha, Yuki will be impotent, so be careful and do it. And you said Remy... I want you to know about Yuki, too.”

”Yes, yes, Father. 'Cause I don't know what to do.”

As Roomia told me, my father boarded the carriage.

”... Father. You still cared about the tutor Kahle.”

”I often say it at home. At dinner, see Brother Yuki not at the table.”

”I don't care.”

”Mm-hmm. You seem to think that the kids grew up early by pulling in the teacher cahel. Brother Yuki has left the house, and Brother Zeros is full of study to succeed his lord.”

”... could that be”

”Yes. I hope your father won't let you get away with it.”

Roomia nodded with a serious face.

”So I was also welcome to this promotion to the Count's house. It's proof that Brother Yuki didn't forget who he is.”

You can't forget my father.

”What about Loomia?

”Of course, I'm thinking about it.”

I chose a souvenir for Roomia.

On Odette's advice, I turned it into a fashionable ribbon in the king's capital. That's what's tying Loomia's hair right now.

Martha behind me, by the way, wears something with a similar design.

It's a little cheap because he says he can't go out with a noble lady...

”I remember every time I saw Martha's ribbon. About Loomia.”

”... Yes”

”You don't cry.”

”Master Loomia. If you're crying, Yuki won't be able to safely drop you off, will she?

Martha took Loomia's hand.

”Loomia has a quest to deliver Yuki's souvenirs to the Territory, right? This is your quest for Yuki. Hey, Loomia.”

”Yeah. Martha.”

”Rumi Asama”

”Yeah. I'll see you, too, Remy”

”... Rumi Asa Well”

”Come on, come on, don't even cry to Remy.”

”Loomia, you and Remy, you're a crybaby.”

Martha, who herself nodded her eyes, wet the tears of Loomia and Remy.

At your table, the Baron's family, who weren't, is waving.

It's time to leave.

”I have an assignment with His Highness Iris from now on, but I'll write to you when it's over. Brother Zeros, I want to know what you think of souvenirs.”

”... that's right, isn't it?

”Oh.”

Me and Loomia shake hands.

That's how when I pushed my back, Roomia got in the carriage.

Eventually, the carriage of the Earl of Glossaria family leaves the gates of the King's Capital to the streets.

The way Loomia waved through the window was invisible.

”Well, I have to get ready to leave, too.”

It's tomorrow that Iris and I are leaving for a territorial tour.

I've got my stuff ready, but let's check it out.

”Sorry to ask you to leave another message. Martha.”

”Never mind. It's Martha's job to protect Yuki's place.”

”Remy, too, I'm going to fuck you up!

”Thank you, Martha”

I'll think about it for a second.

”Martha, what do you want for a souvenir on the Territorial Patrol?

Yuki will be back safely.

”Other than that”

”I wish I had the tools to clean the ceiling.”

”Tools to clean the ceiling.”

”Sometimes I want to do the soot on the ceiling, but Martha and Remy are both small, so I can't reach them”

Martha stretched out and laughed.

”It's hard to clean these bats, Dick.”

”You're gonna get all dusty”

”Yes, it is.”

”Do you want me to clean it with my 'flying' skills?

”Nice. After that, Martha will clean up Yuki in the bath.”

……

……

Me and Martha looking at each other.

”... a souvenir is a tool to clean the ceiling, right?

”... Yes. It's a tool to clean the ceiling.”

”You're not gonna be disappointed, are you?

”Right. Today before we leave, we still have a chance.”

”I know what Martha's trying to say”

”Guess what”

”'Yuki will be working as an escort knight for Her Royal Highness, so wash your hair thoroughly and fix it by the end of the day.'”

”In Martha's mind, it's a prospect for Yuki.”

”... well fine”

”Yes, then leave it to Martha”
