Renkinjutsushi Desu. Jijou wa Gomibako ni Sutete Kimashita

"Oh, oh... this is inside"

Reis is swallowed by the majesty of the royal castle he has seen in front of him and accidentally leaks his admiration. I've seen it several times in the distance, but this is the first time I've had the opportunity to come close and see it.

There are several blue spires in a row, with bright white exterior walls spread beneath them. The height would be slightly over a hundred meters.

Just looking up is the sight of my neck hurting.

"Heh, still big for nothing"

"That would be big because it's where the Lord of a country lives.... Sounds like a lot of cleaning."

"That's exactly what a common man thinks."

"Why would a master who's not a resident be so proud?"

Even as he puts in the penetration, Reyce keeps looking at the outer walls of the castle. I'm a tourist who sees rare things in the mood.

"Oh, by the way, the dragon was almost as big as the castle."

"... well won"

"Well, it's been pretty tough."

It's an anomaly around fine, but it doesn't work for this mentor. Rayce was convinced early that if he was a master, too. It is a unique sensibility unlike that of a regular person.

"Well, the entrance is all the way"

When Reis looks around like a suspicious man, he discovers a huge black gate. I also saw a sworn guard standing, and ran over.

"Stop!"

A voice was uttered that included vigilance, and instinctively Reis stops his leg. Did Lulimes remind you of hunger as now, or he seems careless?

Unlike Reis, who is a little fit, none of them look nervous.

"What are the requirements!

"Uh, I'm an adventurer here on request."

Reyce gives the letter of request for nomination he took out to the guard. Reyes and Lulimes, for two.

The man in the guard carefully confirmed it and eventually saluted Reyce.

Reyce faces the brilliant change in response.

"Excuse me! We've heard stories, so let me show you now!

"Duh, thanks."

Perhaps a man who is enthusiastic about his work, gives orders by hand to a man who looks like a subordinate and makes him open the gate. A large black gate slowly opened, and the Reyes were invited inside the royal castle.

Reyce walks in a restless mood somewhere. The castle is also so luxurious that it is unfamiliar with the common people. When you actually live there, you won't be able to help but feel uncomfortable.

After the high pot and painting went out of sight and repeated it several times. In front of one room, the guard man stopped.

"Please wait a moment here. We'll call you when we're ready."

"Okay."

Reyce hastily drops off the back of the guard man heading somewhere before opening the door in front of him. Leaving a slightly heavier feel in your hand, the door opens.

…………

"What's stopping you, Ray?"

Lulimes, behind Reis, cannot peer into the room and speaks prolonged to his apprentice, who remains standing still with the door open. However, the word slipped through Reyce's ear.

What's in his eyes now is the look of a man with short gray hair cut up. Its sharp eyelids are not talking about where it looks familiar. I just had a bad feeling earlier.

Reyce unconsciously touched her own shoulder.

I wanted to sigh that my hunch was centered, but I was close. Because of the sight of an aristocratic man who looked back at the sound of the door opening. The man frowned in surprise for a moment, but immediately took his gaze off as if he had lost interest.

At the same time that Reis is horrified that there was nothing, he realizes that there is someone else besides the aristocratic man. The person sat on the couch a little further away from the noble man.

A slightly longer gray hair for a man, with an unreliable face somewhere. If you look at it all the time, will the impression of being female first come to mind? It can also be described as a face that leaves a boyish appearance. And the chest of such a boy was engraved with the same family crest as the noble man.

I mean, this boy is noble again. In an instant Rayce grasps the situation and steps into the room silently. Then Lulimes looked inside the room and this one distorted his expression plainly, unlike Reis.

There are two sofas in the room and two sit-ups for one person, each of which is set up to enclose a centrally placed table. The man was sitting on one of his hips, the boy was using one of the sofas, and the Reis sat next to a couch that was not used naturally.

No one utters a word, only the sound of a clock needle on a wall sounds quietly. Quite frankly, it's a bitter atmosphere.

"... what, this situation. Beginner's frustration or something? Maybe they don't like me? Can we go home now?

"As much as I want to ask."

With the voice heard only next door, Reyce and Lulimes whisper to each other. If you come for a request, you'll naturally wonder because they're waiting in the same room with the two nobles. Besides, I'm not going to get along very well with one of them.

"I mean, I'm hungry."

"Master's in this situation, but you're not nervous."

Take admiration for Lulimes, who holds his stomach down and drops his gaggles and shoulders.

Suddenly the boy rose off the couch as Reis wondered what was going on.

The boy stops when he walks in front of the Reis in an unmistakable motion.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Seth Linfold. What about you guys?

The boy grinned furiously in order to de-alert the lay people. I don't feel hostile.

"I'm Lace. I'm an adventurer."

"Lulimes. Traveler"

To avoid the consumption of wasted energy, Lulimes even returns a simplified greeting. It's just that Seth didn't seem to feel uncomfortable, and he had the same look he was convinced of when he heard Lulimes' name. No special, noisy reactions.

"Well, if you'll excuse me..."

Seth turns her gaze to Reis whenever she says something, clouding her words. Rayce immediately guessed what Seth was going to say.

- Well, if there were just adventurers in the royal castle, you'd wonder. That too, with famous heroes.

"I'm a Lulimes apprentice, and I'm here on request."

"I see, does that mean that Lulimes has a disciple... just like us?

"Same?"

"Yes, because I, and my brother Orda over there, are here with a life from the royal family."

That's all Seth said, and suddenly there's a dry laugh in the room. Seth quietly looked at Orda, who let go of a laugh. Those are risky eyes.

"Dear brother, that's enough of your playtime. Our aristocracy, our ancestral lineage, tames with the civilian population, etc… even if it's a joke, it's a little bad in nature."

"It's none of your business, Olda."

"I said I was showing my brother who I am... as lamentable as it sounds. People have a position. You can't beat me because you can't understand it forever."

Orda shook her neck left and right as she throated delightfully.

Reyce blinked for a few moments and looked uncomfortable. It wasn't a mistake, but the atmosphere got heavy a few steps.

Leis, caught in the crossfire of his brothers, is in the mood to go home now.

It was the knocking sound that resonated that saved Lace like that.

"Ready"

When the obligatory voice is heard from outside the door, the bitter atmosphere is fogged at once. When Orda got up faster than anyone else, he left the room early enough. Confirming that, Seth smiles sadly.

"I'm sorry I showed you the ugly part"

"Oh, no, we don't mind..."

What to give back, Reyce clogs the words. Seeing that troubled look on his face, Seth turned his back in order to offer a token of his gratitude.

"It's hard to be noble..."

The sound of Lulimes' stomach rang as he agreed with Reyce.
