Chapter 8-Confirmation of arrangements and Jamie's work

(TL:By Rafael)

The air travel by the national treasure-class magic tool artifact [magic flying sailing ship Forneia] was a very comfortable and unrealistic experience.

Although high-ranking wizards may have the magic to fly in the sky, there are not many opportunities in life where you can look at the land of Wellmeria spread out below you and have a meal while watching the sun set on the horizon aboard a ship floating in the sky.

It was my first experience of this kind, and I'm sure it was a great memory for my friends as well.

"We are almost there. How was it, Sir Ferdio?"(Viscount)

"Good morning, Viscount Boardman. Please don't call me Sir, My title is for namesake."(Yuki)

"Namesake? Well all aristocrats are like that. They keep up appearances with fake things."(Viscount)

Viscount Boardman laughs lightly in response to my bitter laugh.

"It is especially true for us, the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences. Sometimes, in order to do what we like, we need to be in this kind of position. Like you this time."(Viscount)

"I understand. Will I be able to use this to my advantage?"(Yuko)

"Just be natural, In the first place, you are the Count of the Labyrinth. It is a convenient ticket for adventurers to do as they please at the will of the king."(Viscount)

I didn't notice it at the time of Duna, but it seems that the Viscount Boardman is quite an ace in the hole.

"Oh, here you are, Yuki."(Benwood)

While I was chatting with Viscount Boardman while gazing out at the horizon, a thick voice called out to me from behind.

"Benwood. What's going on?"(Yuki)

"It's convenient that Viscount Boardman is with us. I wanted to confirm the arrangements after we arrived there."(Benwood)

"I see. We're almost there, aren't we?"(Yuki)

After a pleasant and interesting flight, we got down to business.

The rocky, forest-covered land below us was now Salmutaria's territory.

"It's almost afternoon. If we do the hauling, we'll make it just before the sun goes down."(Benwood)

"We're a little late, aren't we?"(Yuki)

"Yes, but we still managed to get it there on time. Even though we are in a friendly country, we are out of our country. For safety's sake, the magic flying ship Fornea must take off immediately after sending us."(Benwood)

"Of course."(Yuki)

We are going to a friendly country, but even so, a foreign country is a foreign country.

In addition, the [magic flying ship Forneia] is the king's vehicle.

Not having it in Royal Capital for two weeks could be a risk for King Vincent, who is a busy man.

Without it, the king's outing would have to be by land, which could provide an opportunity for a raid.

"I guess we could land at Marsh Lake, unload our gear, and ...... spend the night on the lakeshore."(Viscount)

"The advance escort and equipment wagons would have arrived. There would be no overnight travel."(Benwood)

"I agree. We at the Academy would prefer not to travel at night, as we don't know the area well."(Viscount)

Benwood and Viscount Boardman nodded at each other.

The town itself was newly built this time. It is doubtful if the roads are well maintained, let alone if they are familiar with the land.

"I've brought some incense to ward off demons, so I should be able to manage for at least one night."(Benwood)

Benwood seems to be doing his job.

"I'm the one who prepared it. Master is too lazy."(??)

"Oh, Jamie, you're doing an excellent job, aren't you. What else?"(Benwood)

"I've already given them rope instructions for unloading, explained the order of disembarkation, and they've already started unpacking some of the camp equipment. Viscount, did you get the people from the academy to help you?"(Jamie)

"Of course. I am surprised, you are really good at you job."(Viscount)

Jamie looks away when the Viscount praises her.

She seems to be embarrassed.

"Seriously, my staff is excellent."(Benwood)

I nod at Benwood, who is looking at me with his eyes.

I never thought that Jamie, who had been taking me under his chin and pouring water on me, could act so quickly and efficiently."

"I'm also a little surprised."(Yuki)

"Yoo-hoo, even Yuki! I'm just following your example a little bit."(Jamie)

Jamie said aloud, then clamped her mouth shut.

"Oh yeah, this girl was saying...'When I return to the adventurer, I'll be able to help Yuki.'"(Benwood)

"Hey, Guildmaster!"(Jamie)

"I wasn't told to keep it a secret Gahahaha."(Benwood)

Benwood smiles broadly as he receives Jamie's less-than-strong slap to the back.

'Now that's plenty of help. Thank you, Jamie."(Yuki)

"No, well, ...... yeah. I'm sorry too."(Jamie)

I take Jamie's hand, who has turned away from us, with her face red.

"Hiya!"(Jamie)

"I'm sorry, did I scare you? I just wanted to give you this."(Yuki)

I gently places a choker with a white clover design on it in her hand.

"This ......."(Jamie)

"Every member of the party is wearing it. I'd like Jamie to have it, too."(Yuki)

I think there are a lot of ways for Jamie to go,

She could continue to work for the Adventurers' Guild, or she could look for another job.

However, if she decides to return to being an adventurer,......, I would like to welcome her to Clover.

(TL: harem+1)

So this is a little early solicitation.

"Are you sure?"(Jamie)

If you don't like it, just give it back."(Yuki)

"I didn't say I didn't want to. But I wonder if it's okay for me to......."(Jamie)

"Then take it."(Yuki)

At my words, Jamie's eyes widened.

Then, her eyes slowly welled up with tears.

"Please, I'll take it."(Jamie)

Jamie shakes my hand and turns away.

I still can't get used to her honesty, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

By that time she'll get to know tge other party members better by then.

"Hey Yuki ,You've done a good job of pulling out the staff in front of me, even if it's just for a moment."(Benwood)

"No, I'll let you keep her for a while more. You take good care of Jamie for sure."(Yuki)

"Yes. The kid's a wanker."(Benwood)

I and Benwood exchanged a few words and patted Jamie's head lightly.

"Your naturalness is not fair ......."(Jamie)

"Huh?"(Yuki)

Benwood and Viscount Boardman chuckle lightly at my reply.

"It's a good thing the king gave him a title."

"I knew he was of the saga bloodline."(Benwood)

(TL: Title= Legal harem..noble duh, Sage= Yuki's Uncle)

The bells that signaled the preparation for landing rang behind me as I tilted my head at the two who were laughing meaningfully.

TL Note- The Jamie ship is about to sail and my other novel second  in everything is having it's spring now, don't  be left behind

A rank.
