Saying goodbye to Instructor Aid, I shake my head and try to change my mind in front of the entrance to the General Guild.
"... Okay, as Instructor Aid said, if you go straight to the left, you'll reach the Duke of Baldeck's mansion, right?"
As I walked toward the Duke of Baldeck's mansion, enjoying the scenery of the city, I saw the mansion that Instructor Aid said.
"That's it"
After saying that, I rushed to the front of the mansion.
It's been a while since I met the Duke of Baldeck ...
"Excuse me, Gatekeeper"
I talked to two people standing in front of the mansion with weapons, and they turned to me at the same time.
Maybe it's the escort that the Duke of Baldeck hires to protect his mansion, right? You made a mistake in the mansion. I'm embarrassed to hear that.
"Hmm? What should I do to the Duke of Baldeck?"
"Yes, I would like to meet the Duke of Baldeck, is that okay now?"
For some reason, they look at each other and then look at me.
"I'm sorry, but are you Elleina?"
"Yes, that's right."
For some reason, the two who heard my reply made their eyes shine at the same time.
"After all! I'm going to inform the Duke of Baldeck right now! Let's go!"
"Oh !!"
The escorts opened the gate and ran to the mansion together.
"Eh? Hey !? I've been guarding here ... The gate is open ..."
I said I was back! !! Early! ??
"Ellina, please come in!"
"Nelson is waiting for you in your room, so we will guide you!"
You said we were this person right now, right?
"Oh, I'm sorry, but what about the security here?"
In addition, they look at each other and then turn to this side. Are these guys on good terms?
"It's okay! Elleina! We have an idea !!"
"Just go to the guest room and come back to the gate as before !!"
"You guys tell me to run to the guest room!?!?"
It would be rude to suddenly go out in front of the Duke of Baldeck! !! ??
Once again, the two look at each other and then turn to this side. I want you to stop the movement that suits you.
"Ah !? I don't know. Is that rude! What should I do, brothers?"
"Stupid! It's okay for one of you to take you to your room normally!"
"Which do you think should remain here?"
Do you guys ask me! ?? I don't like these people anymore ... I'm getting tired ...
"What are you talking about? Both of you? It's a rule to leave the visitor to me."
Hmm? I heard a voice from the mansion.
When I moved my eyes from the escorts to the door of the mansion, there stood an uncle Dundee in a black suit. The uncle smiles at me after appearing before the escort.
"Nice to meet you, I am serving the Duke of Nelson Deer Baldeck. Her butler, Meldin Gurdon, is him. Since then, Elleina-sama."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Meldin. My name is Elleina."
The name is known, but I have to say hello. It begins and ends with a bow. I'm not saying that, but if the first impression is badly seen, it will be more difficult later.
"Then Elleina, I will guide you to your room, so please follow me."
"Yes, I understand"
Wow ... the garden is in good condition. I really came to the aristocratic house. Oh, it feels good to lie down on the grass over there. I think you would get angry if you actually lie down.
With that in mind, I arrived at the door of the mansion while looking around.
"Please enter the mansion"
After opening the door, Meldin stands next to the entrance, turns his face and beckons his face.
I'm a professional! There is a skilled butler in front of you who is not a skilled soldier! !! I'm impressed! !! ??
"Oh, I'll bother you ..."
After saying that, I go into the mansion.
"Fa ... It's a beautiful mansion."
"Well, the servants are cleaning every day."
"Hey ..."
If you can't find a stain on the floor of the corridor, let alone dust, the level of the servant hired by the Duke of Baldeck may be high! !!
Meldin stands at the door two steps away from where I'm standing, leaving me in love.
Concon!
"what? 』\
"Nelson and Elleina are here."
"Through me"
Meldin turns to me after opening the door.
"Elraina, please"
"Oh, yes"
When I entered the room after replying.
"Fah !? This is amazing !!?"
There is a simple desk and chair in front of me, and the garden can be seen through the wide window behind it, so you can enjoy tea while enjoying the view of the garden.
The room is also less decorated, so it feels refreshing, and it is clean and well-furnished, probably because it is cleaned every day. I feel particular about this room.
"Huhhhhh, it's been a long time, Elleina. How about this room?"
"Oh, it's been a long time! Duke Baldeck! It's a very nice room!"
The Duke of Baldeck nods with Eun Eun with a happy face.
"That's right. This room is the most particular place in the mansion, it's the room we're proud of. I'm glad you're happy."
As Duke Baldeck looked happy, he noticed the woman sitting next to him.
"That, Duke of Baldeck"
"What's wrong?"
"Is the person next to you your wife?"
I say while staring at a beautiful woman with big breasts with red hair.
This person is bigger than me! How many cups do you have?
"Oops, the introduction was delayed. Sitting next to me is her wife, her Ainha."
A woman named Ainha begins to greet me while looking at me.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Ainha Dia Baldeck.
"Nice to meet you, Ainha, my name is Elleina."
"Now, I've finished greetings. Elleina, sit there."
"Yes"
After replying, I sit in the chair opposite the Duke of Baldeck.
"Now, Elleina, I have a lot to talk about, but first of all, I would like to thank you again. Thank you for protecting me. Elraina."
Oh, thank you so much! !! ??
"Now!"
The face is hot, oh oh oh! !! ??
"Thank you for helping my husband. What would have happened if you weren't there?"
"Myu, Hinyuuuuuuu ~~~~~~ ..."
Stop it already! !! It's going to be weird! !! ??
"This is Ainha, I'm out!"
"Oh, that's not good. This kid isn't an aristocrat, so he speaks normally. But he's as shy as he's heard. She's never tired of seeing it."
Maybe I'm playing?
"I'm sorry Elraina, Ainha is usually like this."
"Be, Beshunikamaimashinyo ... Hanyuuuuuuu ..."
It's easier to talk to me. But Lu Ritsu doesn't turn.
"Look! Elleina is also saying, isn't it okay?"
Duke Baldeck stares at Ainha with a dismayed face.
"Huh ... well, that's okay. Let's get into the main subject. First, give you a thank you for helping me. Meldin, give me that."
"Yes, my husband"
Mr. Meldin takes out a bag from somewhere and offers it to me. Maybe Meldin has item box skills.
"Thank you, Elleina."
"Thank you !?"
After thanking Duke Baldeck and Meldin, he receives the bag, but for some reason the bag is so heavy that his hands tremble.
"There are 100 gold coins in it."
"100 gold coins !!?"
Well, the rate of money in this world is higher in the order of iron coins, bronze coins, silver coins, gold coins, white silver coins, and black gold coins from the bottom.
Ten bronze coins are worth one silver coin. In other words, there are many circulations of silver coins or less among citizens with a value of 10 coins each, but on the contrary, there are many opportunities for merchants and high-ranked people who are registered in the general guild adventure department to come into contact with gold coins.
"Hey !? Can I give you so much money?"
"It doesn't matter, because what you did is worth it."
The Duke of Baldeck once told me.
"If you think of Nelson, don't hesitate to accept the big buck."
What does it mean to receive it for the Duke of Baldeck?
"Why is Ainha?"
"Aristocrats are important to their physical condition, aren't they?"
"Face?"
"Yes, on the face. I don't know that the aristocrats do nothing to their benefactors. They are said to be merciless. If you don't receive the thank you, Nelson will return the favor from the other aristocrats. No! Shame on the aristocrats! Those who are annoying Nelson will definitely beat you. Do you want to bother Nelson so much? "
I shake my head with all my might.
"If so, don't take that big money."
Well, the world of aristocrats is complicated.
"Yes, I understand"
I put the gold coins I received in the storage with the bag.
"Well, Elleina, I have other questions to ask you, are you okay now?"
I wonder what? The Duke of Baldeck has a more serious look than he is now. Is it something serious?
"Yes, it's okay."
I correct my posture and stare at the Duke of Baldeck.
What on earth will the Duke of Baldeck tell me? You can tell from the atmosphere that it's an important story.
I had expected it to some extent, but until this time I never thought that the Duke of Baldeck would make a shocking talk that would exceed my expectations.
