Resolution of the Lord's household

***---***

"I'm sorry ... She's outrageous. That princess named Camilla Resenburg is ... really outrageous. Are you listening? Klaus-san."

"O, oh, I'm listening, she's outrageous ..."

"That's right ... like this, she's like 'Don', and like 'Kyu', and like 'Ban' ... do you understand?"(TN:He's outlining her body shape.)

"Oh, that's right, that's right ..."

What is it? Why does Klaus-san look annoyed when I'm communicating information about Camilla?

After toasting with the new livre liquor, the menus served one after another tasted great.

Starting with an appetizer of steamed chicken and vegetables dressed together, the meat, fish, and vegetables were all elaborate, but the taste of the ingredients was outstanding.

After the new livre liquor, I drank three-year and five-year livre liquor and learned the difference in taste.

As the years go by, livre liquor becomes deeper in color, aroma, and taste.

For me, who drank it for the first time, I can't imagine what kind of taste the new liquor I drank today will mature into in three or five years, but if you are a connoisseur, just drinking the new liquor will give you some expectations. It seems that it can be done.

Therefore, it seems that you can get liquor of a good year even if you pay in advance for three or five years ahead.

And now, what I'm talking about is a decade-old livre liquor.

The amber-colored liquor spreads like a mellow armoa after a trolley texture in the mouth.

The spiritual euphoria is hard to describe.

It feels fluffy and consciously floating in the air, and it seems that even a slight poke will cause me to leave my body.

"Already, the profits of Resenburg are the top priority, they think we are only monkeys ..."

"Oh, that's right, that's right ..."

"When we were summoned ... Obedience or death, choose the one you like ... What a golden shiny armor ... You don't know!"

"No, I don't know because we've never actually met ..."

"Hey ... Klaus-san, haven't you met Camilla?"

"No, I've said that many times, so Kent is talking about information ...?"

"That's right, that's right ... That's why information is important, isn't it?"

Klaus-san, who is the lord of Volzard and is one of the seven leaders of the Republic of Landshelt, seems to have no acquaintance with Camilla.

Although there is traffic of caravans due to the border of the Devil's Forest, it seems that the traffic of major people in the country has stopped.

So, before the messenger comes, I'm giving information about Camilla to Klaus-san.

Ah ... I wonder why the world looks like it's spinning.

"Wow ... what's the truth ... It's outrageous ..."

"Klaus-san, can I bring him to the boarding house?"

"No, at this time, the boarding house may be sleeping, so it's okay to put him to sleep in one of our rooms."

"Sleep ... tell you ... still Camilla ... fluffy ..."

"Then, let's carry him to the room."

"That's right, I'll ask ..."

"Hey, Kent, let's go ..."

Donovan-san, who came around the table, grabbed my nape and carried me as usual.

"Hey ... Donovan-san, I'm not a Nyanko ... Wow ..."(TN:Nyanko=kitten)

"Oh, I understand, look, walk."

"Well ... the floor is 'GunyaGunya' ... Klaus-san, the floor ..."(TN:GunyaGunya is something flabby/limp/soft and pliable, kinda like walking on a water bed I guess? I'm not translating these things cause he's drunk and it fits.)

"Idiot, it's your feet that are 'GunyaGunya'."

"Huh? My feet ... What does that mean ..."

While hanging onto Donovan-san, I walked with the feeling of stepping on clouds and was thrown into a large bed.

"Ah ... this isn't the boarding house ... the wall ... is out of reach ..."

"It's okay, just go to bed."

"Is that so? That, Camilla's information ..."

"It's outrageous, I understand, so it's okay."

"Yes Yes Yes ..."

"Seriously, you really normally hold yourself back a lot don't you ..."

"Yes ... ha ..."

The bed Donovan-san threw me into was fluffy, and in a blink of an eye I was drawn into sleep.

When I noticed, I was facing Camilla at the guild training ground.

As usual, Camilla is dressed in golden shiny armor, holding a sword that is also golden shiny and has a large jewel on its handle.

On the other hand, I am dressed in leather armor and holding a wooden sword in my right hand.

"Hmm, an unfamiliar monkey ... Be grateful that I'll give you guidance myself!"

"That's not the case! Dead Funayama, Takayama, the old and new duo, fake glasses, everyone's thoughts give me strength!"

"Hmm, what a joke ... the thoughts of monkeys are just to be eaten by goblins and become dung in their stomachs."

"Y, you ... You alone, I won't forgive, Camilla Resenburg, be prepared!"

I swung the wooden sword to the upper right with my left shoulder in front.

"Hmm, monkey ... you'll become rust on my sword ... Mana, oh mana, oh mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather in my body ..."

"Slow!"

The moment Camilla started chanting to strengthen her body, I stepped in fiercely.

For this day, I've been training with blood and tears, and I can master the magic of strengthening my body without chanting.

"Now ... without chanting ... Kuu"

Camilla barely blocked my blow, even though I stepped in at a timing close to a surprise hit.

Camilla's treasure sword and my wooden sword collide with each other and make a high-pitched sound.

Gyin!

"What ... my treasure sword Excalibur and such a wooden sword are on par ..."

"Hey, don't think it's just a wooden sword!"

At the same time as activating the magic of strengthening the body, I am strengthening the wooden sword by granting magic.

Of course, both of them are activated without chanting, so it would be incomprehensible to Camilla.

"Ku, Mana, oh mana, oh mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather in my body, return, return, return and become my power, strengthen! Don't get carried away, you lowly monkey!"

"Come on! Princess!"

Camilla stepped in at such a speed that her body seemed to shake, but with my strengthened eyesight, it seemed to stop.

Gyan, Gyiiin, Kyiiiiin!

The sound of the treasure sword and the wooden sword colliding with each other echoes in the guild's training ground, and the crowd gathered at the sight scream like a rumbling.

"Come on, 'Monster User'!"

"Camilla-sama, please beat him."

"Do it! Defeat Resenburg, 'Maou'!"

"Camilla-sama! Good luck!"

Every time Camilla and I clash, a shockwave runs and the guild doors and windows vibrate.

The training ground, which received the aftermath of the impact, cracked and deep cracks were carved here and there.

However, neither Camilla nor I are hindered by the crack.

We moved around at such a high speed that an afterimage remained, and we didn't miss evne the slightest gap, and both of us made deadly blows.

How much time has passed, it seems like just a few minutes, and it seems like a few hours have passed.

Nicks began to appear in the blade of both Camilla's treasure sword and my wooden sword, and the both of us were about to reach the limits on our physical strength and magical power.

"Hmm, aren't you quite tenacious for a monkey ..."

"Hey, it looks like you're breathing quite heavily, Late-to-get-married-Princess."

"Well, what are you talking about, I'm still only 20 years old!"

"Liiiies! Didn't you start worrying about your body shape after taking a bath?"

"Ba, ba-st-ard ... It seems that you've seen something you shouldn't see ... Oooooo!"

"What!"

With her screaming, Camilla's magical power explodes.

"The whole city of Volzard will be erased!"

Camilla's magical power converged on the treasure sword on the upper part, giving off a dazzling glow.

Perhaps a full blow with all of Camilla's remaining magical power will be released.

It's not difficult to avoid, but if I run away, everyone behind me will be sacrificed.

I ... I can't lose any more.

"Are you ready? Monkey, Kuraa ... Royal Impact Ooooo!"

From the treasure sword of Camilla that was swung down, the amplified magical power comes towards me as a huge mass of destruction.

"Ohhhhh! Shield of darkness!"

I stuck out my left hand and activated a huge shield of darkness.

Repelled by the diagonally erected shield of darkness, Camilla's magic turned to the sky.

Activating another shield of darkness in the direction it was traveling to further reflect the magic.

"Why, this black wall to my magic ... Guaaaaa!'

Camilla's armor shattered in the direct hit of the reflected Royal Impact.

"Stop Camilla! Eat, Final Explooooo-sion!"

"Kyaaaa ..."

Camilla's body was bounced high in the sky by the blow of the reverse sword that was unleashed from the stepping from the foot.

When Camilla, who had become like a ragdoll, fell to the ground, the guild's training ground calmed down like a lie.

"It's over ..."

I also used up most of my magical power with the current blow and got on my knees, but this is the end of the long battle.

I can finally report the victory to my scattered friends.

"Not yet ... it's not over yet ..."

"Wh, at ..."

Camilla, wearing the wreckage of her armor, stood up with her broken treasure sword as a support, while shedding blood from her forehead.

I tried to stand up, but the wooden sword I used as a cane shattered into pieces.

"Don't lose, Kent!"

Yuika's healing magic as she rushed to me gives me strength.

"Kent, this ..."

Manon's healing water moisturizes and revives me.

I stood up with all my strength.

Camilla's blonde ringlets, which are usually arranged Gorgeously, is now messed up, and its appearance is like a mountain witch.(TN:As usual, Capitals = Engrish.)

"It's finished, monkey!"

"Ca-mi-lla!"

Camilla throws away her broken treasure sword and runs with her fist held firmly.

I also settled on the fighting pose and greeted her.

Camilla slammed her whole right straight without any feint.

I hesitate at the last minute and use a left hook to cover it, but Camilla blocked with a reflexively bent elbow.

This time, I aimed at Camilla's face with a right straight with my whole body, but in response, she attacked with a left hook.

I duck and try to dodge the left hook and slip in close, but Camilla's knee kick approaches my face.

I stepped to the side and went around behind while avoiding knee kicks, and at the moment I grabbed her tightly, I threw Camilla with enthusiasm.

Her body draws an artistic bridge, slamming the back of Camilla's head into the ground.

"Gaha ..."

Camilla's body lost power, letting out a moan that squeezed out the air left in her lungs.

Even if I unbridge her and throw her out, Camilla seems to remain in the shape of a letter and doesn't move.

"Ku~ ... kill me ..."

Hyahaaa, I got Camilla's 'Ku, Korose', itadakimashita!

"Don't be silly ... I don't think a guy like you will die easily."

"Ku ... Stop ... As a member of Resenburg's royal family, I can't be humiliated by a monkey like you ..."

"Fahahahaha, I don't think the loser has a choice ..."

"No, stop ... stop ..."

I hugged Camilla, who was trying to crawl and escape, my physical strength, and my magical power both seem to be at the limit, and my consciousness goes away with a severe headache.

"Kuu ... I've defeated Camilla ... like this ..."

In my consciousness that is going away, Camilla is trying hard to get rid of me ... I don't know ...

Ah, my head hurts ... but I don't know where this Camilla is ... huh?

There is a soft touch in both arms, but this is ...

When I open my eyes in a vague consciousness, in front of me is bright red.

Ah, I wonder if I was crying tears of blood, but when I shifted my eyes a little, smooth skin like white porcelain jumped into my eyes.

"Oh, that ...?"

The warmth in my arms is quivering.

Right now, I'm not holding Camilla Resenburg, either in physique or color.

That being said, I feel like I'm wearing pants ...

I feel that the object in my arms is like a piece of thin silk ...

The sense of accomplishment of beating Camilla is blown away, and the unpleasant sweat does not stop due to a severe headache and irritation.

"Kent-sama ... take responsibility ..."

"Eeeh ..."

The muttering of Beatrice, like a mosquito, makes my whole body lose its blood.

Huh? Did I go up? Did I go up the stairs of adulthood?

"Of course, you'll take responsibility, right?"

"Hiii ..."

When I turned my head slowly and squeakily towards the voice that whispered in my ears, bright red ears jumped into my field of vision.

"Good morning, Kent-san, Rise was looking forwards to last night ..."

"Oh, good morning, Marianne-san, this, this, this is ..."

"Kent-san, a woman's body is delicate, so you shouldn't be so violent."

"Yes ... but this is a dream ..."

"It's not a dream."

"Yes ..."

As Marianne-san says, the feel in my hands, the warmth ... it's not a dream.

Not only the outer moat but also the inner moat is buried, and the main circle is cut into it.(TN:Basically he's completely dug his own grave, something like that.)

"In this situation, nothing happened ... I'm sure ... Hey."

"No, no ... that memory ..."

"Well, how was it?"

"Okaa-sama, my, my body and soul belong to Kent-sama ..."

Oh, it's over. I wonder why I had such a dream.

Did I really do it?

I don't have any memory for the first time ... it's too bad.

"Goshujin-sama, pet me, pet me."

"Feee? Mirt?"

"Pet my stomach, pet my stomach."

"Pet my head too, Goshujin-sama."

"Mart? Mart?"

If you think it's a big pinch of desperation, it's an unexpected appearance of reinforcements.

"Um ... have you been here the whole time?"

"We've been here the whole time, The oji-san with the beard took off Goshujin-sama's clothes with a face that seemed unpleasant."

"Yeah! Isn't that Klaus-san?"

"Yeah, because this girl said she wanted to sleep together, I put her between us."

"Well ... then, did I just sleep?"

"Yeah, Mart was jostled around in the middle of the night."

When I glanced at her, Marianne-san quickly turned away.

"Well ... Marianne-san?"

"What, Kent-san?"

"I didn't bring in Rise, right?"

"That's right ... but you were spending the night together, right?"

"Uh ... well, isn't it foolish to hold me accountable for this situation?"

"Ku ... But you were dressed like that and spent the night together, right?"

"Uh ... but it was Klaus-san who dressed me like this, right?"

It's a little painful to think about how Klaus-san was taking off my clothes.

"Hmm ... Rise, I told you to properly get it done ..."

"Because, Okaa-sama, the kobolds have been watching me the whole time ..."

Hmm ... I was saved because Mart and the others were there ... What would have happened to me if they weren't there? Would I have been eaten by a carnivorous rabbit after all?

"Hmm ... It can't be helped ... Kent-san, is it okay to divide the pain this time?"

"Oh, I understand."

The outer moat and the inner moat were buried, and even the main circle was cut, but I think it feels like peace at the last minute.

I got dressed and sat at the breakfast table with Klaus-san, but I couldn't help but say a word.

"That, Klaus-san."

"What ..."

Klaus-san has had a terribly sullen face this morning.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by getting drunk, but I don't like this method."

"Hmm ... I don't like it either."

"Then why ..."

"Because it's the Lord's household."

"But Beatrice is still in school ..."

"Still, it's the Lord's household."

Klaus-san spoke with an unprecedentedly harsh expression.

"Kent, I don't know how it is in your country, but the lord of Volzard is hereditary. If you are born into a Lord's house, you can at least live a wealthier life than a normal house, but that's a heavy responsibility. It's the flipside of responsibility."

"Responsibility, is it?"

"Yes, if you live a wealthy life as a Lord's household, you have to work for it. Otherwise, you'll be the same as a swindler."

"But that's why ..."

"If the four Salamanders had reached Volzard ... I don't want to imagine that. Kent, I want you to stay in Volzard no matter what I have to do. No ... we have to do."

When I looked at Klaus-san, who said that with a serious expression, I remembered Dellitz-san's words again.

"But then, Beatrice's feelings ..."

The moment I turned my eyes to Beatrice, I swallowed the words I said.

With Beatrice's determined gaze, I finally understood.

Not only Klaus-san and Marianne-san, but Beatrice, as the Lord's household, is trying to keep me in Volzard even if they have to bet themselves.

From the perspective of me, who has lived casually in peaceful Japan, it looks like a fierce way of life.

Marianne-san called out as I stared at Beatrice with a feeling of being a little overwhelmed.

"Don't get me wrong, Kent-san. It's true that Rise is trying to connect with you for Volzard, but she really loves you."

"Eh ..."

Beatrice, who turned her gaze towards Marianne-san for a moment and immediately returned her gaze back to me, and was looking down while glancing at me with upturned eyes.

Uh ... this is unfair.

A child of an aristocrat who has to accept a marriage of convenience is seriously in love with her marriage partner ... isn't it like the heroine of a romance novel?

What's more, that person is me ... I want to fulfill that hope.

However, on the other hand, the pressure of expectation from the lord of Volzard also made me feel tense.
