Only I Am Immune to Magic

Episode 018. I beg your pardon!

“Since when has that driver been doing that?”

“From last night.”

“Eh? really?”

“huh. I think I stayed up all night like that because I kept chasing the young master and it didn’t work.”

“Then what shall we do? I need to wash you, Bocchan.”

“That’s right. I can’t even tell the driver to get out of the way.”

the next morning.

The maids who came to Aaron’s room with washing water stomped their feet and whispered.

In front of Aaron’s room, Raast was sitting on one knee like a wooden stone.

The people who saw what he did to Aaron the day before left it alone, saying that he would say something like that, but he ended up staying up all night in front of the door.

jump-

After a while, Aaron, feeling the presence of people, opened the door and came out.

He found Rhaast kneeling in front of the door and widened his eyes.

“No, Lord Rhaast. What are you doing here?”

“I was waiting for you, Bocchan.”

Rhaast raised his head as if he had been waiting.

His helmet, slowly rising, somehow seemed heavier.

“I told you yesterday, but there is nothing I can do for you.”

“I told you yesterday, but all I want is to stay by your side.”

The same answer came back to the same words.

Aaron groaned and looked down at him.

“… … good.”

After a while, he nodded.

Rhaast’s armor trembled.

“Is that true? Are you really accepting me?”

“It’s not the noble’s duty to refuse to do this. Instead, say what you want. I don’t have any money right now, so I’ll grant you a wish.”

“If that’s what the young master wants… … . Please let me bring my younger brother to the lord’s castle.”

“Brother?”

“yes. I have one younger sister. I live alone in the valley of Tmoline, and now I want to let you live in the city.”

Rhaast briefly continued the story about his younger brother.

By the end of the story, he has become an affectionate older brother who is obsessively earning money to provide a house for his younger brother to live in.

“Sniff, sniff.”

“It’s so touching.”

“I thought he was just an old man obsessed with money… … .”

“I wish I had an older brother like that… … .”

The maids hiding under the stairs and listening to the story silently wiped away tears.

Aaron nodded his head calmly as if he hadn’t heard anything.

“I didn’t know you had such a situation. I think I can do that much.”

“thank you. young master.”

“Then come in. You can’t have a vow ceremony in the hallway.”

Aaron opened the door and stepped aside.

The maids didn’t see him and Rhaast giving each other thumbs up.

“So, I’m going to go on a trip for a while to fulfill the request of my vassal.”

that afternoon. Aaron visited the baron’s office.

He announced this morning that he had signed a lifetime contract with Rhaast and explained his request in detail.

“I heard the story. I didn’t know he had that side.”

The baron had already heard about what had happened through the people in the mansion.

At first, I thought he had dark feelings for Aaron, so I tried to force him away, but as I looked, it wasn’t.

Although Rhaast looked light on the outside, he was deep inside.

The heart of a knight who values the boy’s talent and the heart of an older brother who cares for his younger brother.

He has steadfastly kept his convictions despite being called a miser and being ridiculed a lot.

The reason why he clung to Aaron so much must be because he found a true home to devote his beliefs to.

“At first, I also doubted his intentions. But when I saw him kneeling down in front of my room all night, I couldn’t bear to kick him out. I know I lack the qualities of a lord, but… … .”

“Speak like that. You are now the lord of a knight. If such words come out of your mouth, what will a person who has become a vassal think?”

The baron looked at Aaron with a slightly angry expression.

Aaron lowered his head in embarrassment.

“… … sorry. I said something embarrassing.”

“You are the only one who has had such a vassal at the age of 17. Be confident.”

“Yes, Father.”

Aaron nodded vigorously at the baron’s warm words.

“By the way, even if you bring Rhaast’s brother, where are you going to let him stay? You won’t be able to live in the castle without a single penny.”

The baron changed the subject.

In order to establish a position in Oddhaken Lord’s Castle, thorough status guarantees and considerable wealth are required.

Even if the baron solved the status, if you had less money, you had no choice but to leave the castle again.

“It is said that they are building a small house with the money they have saved. And in addition, I intend to give all of my living expenses.”

“Your living expenses?”

“yes. I said I don’t need money, but I still have to do my duty as a lord. Eating and sleeping can be done in the mansion, so if you give up the other parts… … .”

“ha ha ha!”

Hearing Aaron’s words, the baron burst out laughing.

His living expenses are far less than the wages of knights.

However, it was cute and admirable to hear that they gave it instead of a salary.

“He’s my son, but he only chooses to do what he really likes.”

“yes? I just… … .”

“good night. It’s a feeling. Until you become independent, I will give you the salary of a vassal instead.”

“yes? Oh no! I meant that… … .”

“Uh huh. You are a child who has not yet reached the coming-of-age ceremony. Isn’t it natural for parents to take care of you until you reach adulthood?”

“father… … .”

Aaron looked at the baron with a smile on his face.

Tears seemed to flow from his wide blue eyes.

‘Wow, I got free money.’

Aaron desperately held back the laughter.

Originally, I was going to get permission to travel and get only the necessary funds, but things turned out much better than I thought.

“Fulfill your first promise as a lord and come. However, Tmoline is a dangerous area, so I will attach one or two more knights.”

The baron continued with a pleased expression.

“Thank you for your consideration. I will return safely.”

Aaron nodded his head eagerly, maintaining an impression full of emotion.

“That spoiled mistress signed a contract for life?”

Some time after Aaron’s meeting with the Baron.

Janice, who had been confined to her room and venting her anger, trembled her lips.

“dare… … . dare… … .”

In fact, she also offered Rhaast a contract before coming here.

With the promise that if you sign a lifetime contract with Zeke, you will be given money to play and eat for the rest of your life.

From Rhaast’s point of view, the contract with the Count was about to end, so it was not a bad offer.

However, he rejected Janice’s proposal with a single stroke.

The reason was that the money offered for salary was too small.

‘You can’t keep me for a penny like that.’

His words, which he spat out with a mocking expression, still lingered in my ears.

“Originally, I signed the contract based on talent without any conditions, but the baron decided to pay his salary instead.”

A man wearing training armor continued his report.

Viktor, vice-captain of the Oddhaken Knights.

He was a knight given by Count Arnin when Zenith got married, and had been Zenith’s eyes and ears for a long time.

“Ha, after pretending to be so expensive, you ended up being attached to that slave. That too for free.”

“I don’t understand why he did that. When it comes to money, he was a person who couldn’t use it.”

“I must have known that my husband liked that slave. Trying to get attached to this family somehow.”

“Well, that makes sense.”

Victor nodded.

The Oddhaken are a wealthy family with a mana stone mine in Tmolin, although they have a low aristocratic status.

It was obvious that he was attached to Aaron, the bastard, because his true intentions were too obvious when attached to the heir, Zeke.

“Sir Victor. Is there really no way to get rid of those eye thorns?”

Janice asked, rubbing her temples.

The reason why he brought Rhaast this time was the trump card he had prepared by ejaculating with tears from Count Arnin.

According to plan, the slave’s body should have been smashed by Rhaast’s sword, but what is this?

Rather, when the proof was over, Raast’s wooden sword was split in two.

“Well, I don’t think it will be difficult to receive help from the Count any longer.”

“I know that.”

Janice herself knew better than anyone that the baron was very angry about this.

Even from Count Arnin’s point of view, it was dangerous to openly pretend to be his in-laws, so he could no longer rely on his wife’s help.

“Brother Aaron is going on a trip to the Tmolin region this time. How about using that?”

After thinking for a while, Viktor came up with a plan.

Janice smiled and raised her head.

“how? Do you have any sharp tips?”

“Um, can I hear from you for a moment?”

Viktor looked around for no reason and asked in a low voice.

Rats listen to night talk and birds listen to day talk.

I didn’t pretend to be popular, but it was good to be as careful as possible when setting up such a ploy.

“As much as you like.”

Janice listened to him as if she had been waiting.

* * *

“… … So, this time I hope I get a chance to serve Master Aaron.”

After having a secret meeting with Janice, Viktor went straight to the baron.

“You? Well, if you go, I’ll be reassured. So, who is in charge of the knights’ affairs?”

“Captain Gardi will do it for you. When you were in charge of the young master’s training before, I acted on behalf of the captain.”

“Hmm, it was.”

“I know it’s rude, but to be honest, I also wanted to do something with Master Aaron. Seeing the young master training with the captain made me jealous.”

Viktor continued with an unfair expression.

The baron smiled and then nodded.

“okay. You will come this time.”

“Thank you, lord. I will serve you as well as Captain Gardi.”

Viktor gave a salute as soon as permission was given in case something else happened.

jump-

“… … uh?”

“uh?”

As soon as he hurriedly opened the door and was about to leave, Viktor put on a dumbfounded expression when he saw someone blocking his way.

Standing in front of the door was none other than Aaron.

“What is the vice-captain doing here?”

“uh… … . That is… … .”

“Aaron. It came just fine. This time, Viktor will accompany you on your journey.”

The baron answered Aaron’s question instead.

“oh! Is it really?”

Aaron looked at Viktor with a smile on his face.

Viktor smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“Ah, yes. It happened.”

“It’s very reassuring to hear that the vice-captain is with you. Please take good care of me.”

Aaron gave his shoulder a firm grip and strode into the office.

“Yes, did you come here because you have something to say? Now I’m afraid of what will come out when I see you.”

the baron asked, shaking his head.

Aaron looked back at Viktor through the still open door and grinned.

“I want Zeke to accompany me on this journey.”

“Zeek?”

“I beg your pardon!”

Following the Baron’s question, Viktor shouted.

The baron’s and Aaron’s eyes turned to him.

“If you have something to say, come in and do it. Are you surprised?”

“Oh, no. sorry.”

Viktor screamed involuntarily and closed the door sweating at the baron’s scolding.

“sh*t. sh*t. damn it pestilence.”

and after a while

He stood close to the door, eavesdropping on the conversation, and left, swearing incessantly in a low voice.
