Chapter 39: Count Rainier Appeared
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Perhaps thanks to entering onsen yesterday, my body was pleasantly warm that I slept soundly.
As expected, making your body clean using the cleaning magic wasn’t enough, it was important to use hot water and relax.
“Nyaan.”
Pururun.
When I woke up and stretched in the room where the morning sun shone, Noir and Purun were there to greet me. The two of them were sleeping together every day inside the basket bed that Georg-san specially made.
“Good morning, Noir and Purun. Amanda-san has gone to training, hasn’t she?”
The knight Amanda-san started her morning early. I used to wake up when the sun rose and then went to the training grounds, but lately I’ve been oversleeping, and I always woke up after Amanda-san left.
Uu…I wanted to wake up a bit earlier, but I couldn’t seem to do that.
I wonder if I felt relaxed after getting used to this world.
But, that seems like a good thing…?
I washed my face using the washbasin that was on top of the table and then I changed my pajamas. And then when I opened the window to let the air circulate, I realized that the courtyard was noisy.
“Hm? What’s the matter?”
In the courtyard, there was a somewhat gaudy group. There was someone who was awfully dressed up and the ones who seemed to be his followers.
T-that person, isn’t he a dwarf?!
Next to the dressed up person, there was a green-skinned person. He was a dwarf, the same race as Gazad-san who was in the same party as Virna-san.
When I thought about it, Gazad-san and the other members of the [Dawn’s Seeker] appeared in the courtyard.
“Well this, this, Sir Agios. It’s been a long time since we last met.”
As he was called, Simon-san stopped.
Ooh. Simon-san is called as Sir Agios, huh? Could it be that he is a noble? Leon-san is a royal prince, and Argo-san is also a noble, so there might be lots of nobles in this world.
Simon-san who was called then gave an elegant noble-like greeting.
“Count Rainier, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect us to meet in this kind of a place, so I was surprised.”
“My son has been taken care of here, after all. So I came here to see his condition since the Monster Flood just ended.”
“Yeah, he was deployed as a magician here.”
Ho~. That kind of person existed, huh?
I wasn’t really acquainted with magicians other than Serena-san, so I didn’t remember whether or not there was someone named Rainier-san here.
“When I last saw Sir Agios, it was before you became a priest, huh? And now, you’ve become a splendid one. With all of his sons flourishing, Marquis Agios is surely at peace.”
Before Simon-san became a priest, that meant it was quite a long time ago, I guess? But they were amazing, to be able to remember each other’s faces and names.
I was quite bad at remembering someone’s name…
“No, compared to my elder brothers Lucius and Michael, I’m still inexperienced.”
“No, no. Sir Agios’ fame has reached the royal capital. I was surprised when I heard that you became an adventurer, but when I heard of your recent activities, I could only hear words of praises that it was as expected of the Agios family’s son.”
The person called as Count Rainier said with all smiles. He was slightly fat, and he was making a face similar to a raccoon’s.
“It’s not due to my own power, but it’s thanks to all party members. Thanks to the god’s guidance, I was blessed with amazing comrades.”
“Ooh. Then, won’t you introduce your amazing comrades to me?”
“With pleasure. Everyone, this is Count Rainier who’s governing a territory in adjacent to Izel fort. Count Rainier. They are my comrades, Gazad, Virna, and Naruruth.”
As Simon-san introduced them in order, the three of them bowed.
“It’s Gazad. Nice to meet you.”
“Virna.”
“…”
U, uhm…I guess they didn’t have the appropriate attitude towards the nobles, but it was also because Gazad-san and the others weren’t Ars Kingdom’s people. …Surely it would be fine, right?
“Gazad-dono, aren’t you Krumm’s old acquaintance? Krumm, come here.”
He said as he called the dwarf next to him. I couldn’t see them well, but he had something like glasses on…Ah, wrong. That is a monocle.
The dwarf tribe has an image of having a small and stout stature, but Krumm-san is slightly of a small stature and his skin is green. Leaving those traits aside, he has a smart figure akin to a human scholar’s.
“Gazad. Long time no see.”
“Ooh, isn’t it Krumm? Have you been well?”
Gazad-san tapped Krumm-san’s shoulder and hugged him. Whoa. It was like a foreigner’s greeting. …but well, they are dwarves, so they are really foreigners.
“You also played a very active part in the Monster Flood, didn’t you?”
“No, no, I’m not that active. I was only the Izel fort’s hero’s outrider.”
“His Highness Leonhart, huh…? I heard that he defeated the Goblin King in no time. Is he a lot stronger than eight years ago?”
“That’s right.”
“But I heard a strange rumour. That a very young girl used a powerful magic to assist His Highness Leonhart…”
Thump! T-that is…Could it be, me?
Could it be…that my existence has become a rumour?!
