Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 24

The day of the debut party in my new mansion the king give me finally arrived.

We were able to prepare ourselves well enough. My father Jake also sent us some help.

Fukiba was greeting all the visitors who arrived one after another.

After hearing that His Majesty and princess his fiancé would come a little later Fukiba relaxed.

It seems that if His Majesty and princess were to come before the other visitors he would have caused quite the stir.

Not all the nobles who were invited came, some only sent a congratulatory gift or a letter while others sent their representatives. The assistants guided them in turns to the hall.

Duke Andrew brought his Son Hiro and his wife. Needless to say, they were surprised the moment they entered the hall.

[To surprise me with only the hall, eh~~ And this mansion, if I remember correctly, didn't look so good and now is good look even the decorations was beautiful.]

Duke Andrew's reacted sharply to Fukiba's surprise.

[So, the princess well be living in this house in the future, huh?]

On the other hand, Hiro was in the middle of a delusion. Duke Andrew was chuckling next to me.

All the guests who came were overwhelmed by the brown wyvern in the first hall.

The moment they enter, they find a stuffed SSS-rank monster wyvern used as a decoration. It's impossible not to be surprised.

Since the first guests who came in screamed, I now try to explain in advance.

Then, the guests continue from the hall to the party hall and are overwhelmed again.

Most of the glass in this world is made of metal, while the commoners use those made of wood.

All the glass lined up on the table was made with Murano glass.

They recognize that it's something they would not be able to create in this world and new equipment.

Even the plates have a beautiful pattern on them.

At first, I thought about preparing

Italy glassware, but then I realized that this world is closer to medieval roman , so I thought that roman glasswork would be better.

I kept making glasses and plates with magic, and in the end, I ran out of magic power and I passed out and I didn't keep going.

The dishes are being brought in sequence. For this occasion, I chose recipes from my previous world.

As for the ingredients of this world, it is difficult to get better ingredients than those already available to the high ranking nobility.

That's why this time I went with recipes from my past life, leaving aside those of this world.

Sweet cake,Roast beef, hamburgers, french fries, fried food, and fried chicken are dishes that they don't have here.

And for the drink, I made Pina Colada. The basis of this world is wine. There is no such thing as a carbonated drink. However, since not everyone likes carbonated drinks, we prepared wine for them.

[{Author: "Pina colada (cocktail)" the most popular drink.}]

Of course, we have non-alcoholic Cocktail for children. Since I'm one too. I'm still a five-year-old child.

Thanks to the World Book, I managed somehow to make it.

Most of the people I sent an invitation to ended up coming. It's a good thing that people who didn't have to come.

Almost a hundred people entered the hall, including the nobility accompanied by their families.

Then, the Drapes (Curtain) were raised when it was time.

Fukiba stood at the center of the platform.

[Today, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join someone inexperienced and a 5 years old young like me. I had the good fortune to been given the title of Baron and the mansion by His Majesty Alex, and today I hope to successfully finish the debut party, I am Fukiba Hanes Shino Son of Margrave Jake and Jane. We have prepared a modest amount of drinks and food for you to enjoy. I hope everyone can have a good time today. Then, let's make a toast]

«[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [Cheers] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

I prepared Cocktail for the toast.

[What's this cup!? It's made of glass, but even then, what's with this beautiful pattern? And what's with this sizzling drink!? I can't get enough of the sensation and the sweetness it gives]

More and more voices of surprises are heard.

It was a success.

The nobles, who ate unusual dishes, were surprised. After all, there is no such thing as a hamburger and fried chicken in this world.

They are enjoying themselves as they bite into the overflowing juicy meat and its soft texture.

All the nobles who attended thought they did the right thing for coming.

[Fukiba son!!! Tell me how to cook this dish later!]

Even my father Jake, who is helping me, was in that state. As for Older brother Gin, she never left the food aside for a second.

[Father, I've given the recipe to your head chef, so you can make it at home in the future]

[It's the first time I've eaten or drunk such good things. Tell me about these kind of things next time]

As expected, I can't say that it's knowledge of my past life and made by my previous world, so I have no choice but to properly deceive him later.

[This glass is wonderful, YoungFukiba. What do you think about this? Would you be willing to sell me a few to me as well?]

That was Duke Andrew.

[For those of you who have come today, you will receive a couple of these drinks and sweet cake as a souvenir]

[Oooh. I'm grateful for that! If possible, I'd like to have this drink too]

[Well, I'll have them prepare a few bottles for you. The trick to making it taste delicious is to keep it cold]

[Yeah yeah. Thank you. Look, look over there. They usually say that to catch a man you have to do it by his stomach, but it seems that Hiro has been the one caught]

He smiled and pointed his finger in the direction of Gin and Hiro who were engrossed with the food.

I'm glad that Young master Hiro seems to like it too.

While I was chatting with Duke Andrew, Henry walked over to me.

He whispered in my ear.

[Your Majesty, the Queen, and Her Highness the Princess Valentina have arrived, Young master Fukiba.]

[OOh. I understand. Let's get ready to welcome them]

And so I head to the platform.

[Let me apologize for interrupting you all in the middle of your pleasant meeting. His Majesty has now arrived. He will be entering now, please let welcome him]

A voice of surprise voice again. The King Alex has come all the way to a party of a mere baron.

Under normal circumstances, such a thing would be unthinkable.

Then the doors opened and the royal family came in.

Everyone kneels on the spot and bows.

Then, the King starts walking towards the platform and stands next to Fukiba.

[Sorry to interrupt the meeting, everyone. We decided to come to the party of the little hero who saved my daughter Valentina. The Main of this party is none other than Our Baron Fukiba, so don't worry about us and continue enjoying yourself]

With that, His Majesty stepped down from the platform and went to the dining table.

The maids placed plates on the table and presented them to His Majesty.

Together with cocktail and wine.

[Huuhoo. What's with this glass? Isn't it made of glass? What's more, this pattern. Fukiba!! What's with this?]

[Ha-Haha, I made the glasses and the plates you see here. As for the plates here, the chefs also followed my advice on them]

[Send some of the food to the royal family, I'll pay for it]

[I understand. I'll present it to you when it's ready]

[Huuhoo. But what's with this dish anyway? Even though the meat is soft, it's still overflowing with juice. Was this dish also your idea? Fukiba?]

[Yes, it's my idea your Majesty. I asked our head chef to help me make it. It's called [Hamburger]. If you're going to praise someone, please praise our head chef. If you'd like, I'll put together a recipe and present it to the royal family later]

[That would be helpful. Cain, I'm pleased with the party today. Isn't the same for you too, Tina?]

[Yes, father. Thank you for inviting me here today, Young master Fukiba]

[No.No, it's my pleasure. Thank you for coming to a place like this]

[Also, fukiba, I want to ask you something. Were you the one who slew that wyvern in the hall?]

His Majesty's his eyes serious gaze and his face became serious for a moment.

[....Y-Yes... It's like you said Your Majesty.]

[Huuhoo. I understand. Including your strength too. We'll have another discussion at a later date]

[.....I understand Your Majesty]

When I walked away from His Majesty, Henry came to me.

[Marquis Matthew is here with his eldest son, Young master Joshua]

The trouble and annoying has come. And I thought they weren't going to come.

I had no choice but to head down the entrance hall and welcome him.

As I headed out the entrance hall door, two people were stepping out of a carriage.

[What a small building this house. To have his debut party in such a shelter, that's why you can't expect much of a Baron rank]

[Father, indeed, it can't even compare to our big mansion and the smell of his mansion is stink]

[W-Well, if it isn't his Excellency Marquis Matthew and Young master Joshua, thank you for your presence today. Though it's a small mansion and stink, please make yourself at home. Let me show you to the hall]

Fukiba pretends like there's nothing inside and opens the door to the entrance hall.

For the two of them who didn't know anything, the moment they walked through the door, a Brown wyvern appeared in front of them.

[.....H-Hiiiiieekk... A-A-Wyvern....]

They both tried to escape as they were unable to stand up due to fear.

[Let me apologize for this. This is a stuffed wyvern. The territory of Ensia is located left next to the forest of monsters, so we are displaying the monsters we hunted there]

Fukiba bows. But as usual, he has a malicious smile on his face.

Marquis Matthew who recovered, start to get worked up.

[It's tasteless and is like a r-real to leave things like this without any artwork. Or should I say, as you'd expect from someone from the countryside?]

His response comes pretty strong.

[Indeed, I'm still not very well versed in the subject of art, so I don't have anything to display. I would appreciate your guidance from now on]

[huu. I understand. I should give you a couple of lessons for arts, shouldn't I?]

Marquis Matthew says, with a slightly unpleasant and annoying smile on his face.

[Everyone is already here, allow me to guide you to the hall]

Fukiba bows his head and starts guiding them.

[Huu. The guest of honor should arrive late after all]

[Father, since this is a party of the likes of a baron, all those present should be of no importance and I think his Majesty didn't not come So, Come on, let's get inside quickly]

The guests of honor are the royal family, but I didn't dare to say it.

Duke Andrew and Prime Minister Serapin are there, though.

Then he opens the door to the hall and I guide him to his seats.

I guide them in such a way so that Marquis Matthew and Young master Joshua are out of sight of the royal family.

[It's a carbonated drink. Young master Joshua drink is alcohol free, so he can drink it without worrying]

[A baron's drinks are worthless, come on, quick, give it to me]

The maid comes quickly, hands him a glass and pours Cocktail.

When he sees the glass, he is amazed at how gorgeous it is.

Then, after a sip, Marquis Matthew is even more surprised.

[T-This is amazing. This glass as well, the sake too]

It seems he tried to find something to complain about but his real feelings came out.

The maid now begins to place food after food on the table leaving it in front of their eyes.

After a bite, their eyes widen.

[What food is this? I've never eaten anything like it before!]

[We have prepared a lot, so take your time and enjoy]

Father and son start eating all the food that was served to them.

Without table manners.

The Viscounts and Barons and others nobles around them are also giving them a cold look.

They gulp down the sake in succession.

[Baron Fukiba, give me this glass. Also, the recipe for the drink and food, Faster!]

[Huh!?....That's certainly not possible. However, I'll be gifting a pair of glass to everyone who came in today]

[Two is not enough. Give me a hundred. If a Marquis uses it, your worth will also rise]

[I'm sorry, but even if you are a Marquise, I can't just accept that]

[What!? You won't do as a Marquis tells you to? You a lowly Baron stink!!]

Oh, he went that far.

Even though he's already behind you.

[Isn't that just domineering and abusing a power of marquis in a Low rank like a Baron?]

[Shut up! A lower noble such as a Baron should listen to a higher noble such as a Marquis!]

He says it as he turns around.

[Huuuhoo. Then, I wonder if I should obey what you say too?]

Marquis Matthew turns pale.

That's because His Majesty is in the place where he just looked. Moreover, it happened after he said (Shut up!) to His Majesty.

[B-B-But if it's not His Majesty. I'm awfully sorry. Why did Your Majesty come to a lowly Baron's place like this?]

As he presses his big heavy belly to the ground, he gets down on one knee and greets him and apologize.

[Why, you ask? He's the one who saved my daughter, Valentina, out of danger. It's only natural for me to come. Is something wrong with that?]

[N-N-No, there's nothing wrong. It's like you said,Your Majesty.]

「So, when you said, "Give me that glass" "Give me the recipe" and so on, did you really mean it Matthew? If you're always behaving like that, then there is a need for you to think about your future, since such a person is not fit to be a nobleman of this country of Arizona]

The King asks with a straight and serious face .

Matthew's face, which had been red from drinking, turned pale at once.

[Such an absurd idea didn't cross my mind. I was so impressed with the quality of the glass and the perfection of the drink and the food that I asked if he could teach me]

[Huuuhoo. If it's like that, then fine, but don't drink too much]

With that, His Majesty went back to the table he had been at earlier.

Marquis Matthew stood up and looked around.

The Viscounts and Barons, the lower-ranking nobles, were piercing him with their cold stares.

Tsk....well rebuked

[T-T-That's right, I had an urgent business and my company. Joshua, we're going back for today. I'm apologize, Baron Fukiba, but I remembered that I had something urgent to do. Excuse me for this]

[It can't be helped if it's an emergency, but forgive me that I couldn't do anything for you]

Fukiba bows his head politely.

[Huu, then excuse me. Joshua, let's go]

.....'

[W-Wait for me, father]

They left as if they were running away and left to party to create an excuse.

I breathed a sigh of relief seeing the two troublemakers gone at last.

[I saw what you did, good work]

Bringing me a drink, it was Duke Hiro.

[You were deliberately agitating them at a distance where His Majesty and his party would not notice, and when you were bowing your head you were grinning. Young Fukiba, you even had a malicious smile on you]

She hit me where it hurts. Fukiba thought, as expected, there's always someone who notices what you are doing.

After the two gone the party was back to normal.
