176 Chapter 11-10: Father of Lion

"Far away, it was hard work on purpose. I'm Harold von Haust, head of the House Border House."

While I was concerned about the maid's wife, I was beginning to introduce myself to Uncle Borderline.

After all, it is only called Borderline Uncle, and it is quite powerful among the nobles we have met before. In terms of appearance typology, it may be close to Viscount Mustang...... well, so far it's just a look (...) feeling.

There are two reasons why I thought 'just look (...)' here. One is that Uncle Borderline is the father of Lion, who has become the 'Heckle & Fool Representation' in me.

The other is because Borderline Uncle himself seemed to care more about "The Maid's Wife" next to Borderline Uncle for some reason than I did earlier.

"I am grateful for this crusade of Wyburn's flock, as well as for the support of the border line"

Borderline uncle, delimit the words here once and chill next door.

"And it bothered me about my Knights vice president. I'm so sorry."

Horizontal uncle to keep his head down and also check next door with Chirali.

"It's about the various rewards, but we haven't received all the reports yet, and we haven't finished calculating them. I'm sorry, but I need you to stay here for a while. Of course, this will cover the costs in the meantime. Besides, we have a room for the number of people in this mansion, but if it should not be this mansion, we have the best accommodation in this city. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to tell anyone in the house."

That being said, Uncle Borderline floated her hips gently just saying she was done and tried to sit back in the chair...

"Something looks great..."

Grandpa heard a quiet word, trembling for a moment and resting with his hips floating. I know it was a casual word for Grandpa, but it seemed to work pretty well for Uncle Borderline. Well, I was caught up in Uncle Borderline's attitude, but more than that, I was paying attention to the fact that Uncle Borderline cared about the wife next door. By the way, that wife of yours has been nicotine all along while Uncle Borderline was talking. But...

"Uh-huh, twenty... fifteen points maybe?

When I heard a word your wife said potpourri, Uncle Borderline was shaking his body bigger than he did when he was a grandfather. His wife says that and doesn't even glance at Uncle Borderline, she just laughs at Nico.

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Edilia von Horst, wife of Harold von Horst and mother of Lion von Horst. Thank you very much for this incident. Wyburn exorcised, but Ootri's support on the border helped me financially as well as defensively. Also, I apologize for the inconvenience my son Lion seems to be causing you from time to time. If Lion inconveniences you with anything, you may have her slap you back on the sexual root without worrying about your identity or anything. And..."

Here, ma'am...... Mr. Edilia separated the words and looked at Uncle Borderline.

Uncle Borderline took a big breath and threw up slowly, roughly rising out of the chair. And

"The incident in Kukri village six years ago was this one's fault. There are voices in the world that say it is the responsibility of the guards dispatched, but that is the Borderline Uncle... it is my responsibility to be Borderline Uncle. I'm sorry."

I lowered my head deeply. All of a sudden my grandfather and I were slightly confused, didn't know what to do, and we were looking at each other. Meanwhile, Uncle Borderline kept his head down.

"Tenma, Master Merlin. Why don't you dare talk to Uncle Borderline? Besides, I don't know if I'll ever let Uncle Borderline bow his head..."

After taking Chris' advice, me and my grandfather decided to ask Uncle Borderline to raise his head before asking about the situation in detail.

The frontier uncle, who raised his head, tried to start the conversation on the spot, but Edilia's suggestion led him to move to the adjacent conference room. As soon as they entered the conference room, Mr. Edilia began to prepare the tea and rushed to try to help Jeanne and Aura as well, but the two were pushed back by Mr. Edilia and seated in their seats.

Uncle Edilia opened her mouth when her tea was handed out to her, but unexpectedly, Uncle Edilia was restating whether she was a bad mouth or not.

The first thing that came out of such a borderline story was that you always wanted to apologize to me and Grandpa about the incident six years ago. Until now, Uncle Borderline has gone to apologize to the survivors of Kukri Village himself, but he said that only me and Grandpa could not do it.

The reason for this is that I couldn't figure out where I was for a long time, and since I found out where I was, the trend in my neighborhood has become suspicious, and I couldn't leave the territory. As for Grandpa, he was on his way immediately when he moved to Wang Capital with Uncle Mark and the others, but despite his blurry condition of more than half, he was terribly rambunctious when he heard the word Houst Borderline Uncle, and he was apologized for the visit by the King's decision that if Borderline Uncle showed up in front of him, he would surely be killed. By the way, he also apologized to Uncle Mark and the others at that time, but sometimes it was a time when there was just a case, and he couldn't accept the apology on the spot. It should be noted that the apologies were accepted by the other residents of King's Capital, except for Grandpa, not long before he found out where I was, and that was the last time Uncle Neighbourhood visited King's Capital.

"Grandpa, have you been so violent?

"... I don't remember at all."

"No, it was really very violent... because some of Merlin's mansions broke down a few times."

He said it was mainly his grandfather's room that broke, but when left alone, the mansion could have been completely destroyed, and Mr. Din was driven out each time.

Incidentally, I looked at the three idiots and the borderline uncle with the meaning of confirmation, and Albert and Cain nodded bitterly, and the borderline uncle and Lion were shaking with a blue face. Later I asked Lion, "If being in the king's capital were in Merlin's ear, I would have spent some time freaking out that it would be erased without leaving any dust". Perhaps Uncle Borderline thought the same of Lyon.

"Well, when it comes to that, I can't say I have no grudges at all, but I've decided to forgive you."

I have discussed and decided this matter with my grandfather and Uncle Mark many times, so I told him it was the general intent of the former Kukri village residents in Wang Capital.

Seeing Grandpa snort at my words too, Uncle Borderline, Mr. Edilia and Lion had a relief look on their face.

"However, as I told Lyon before, when the Borderline House tries to take me in hostilely or by force, don't think that's the case."

Uncle Borderline stood for a moment at the words he said, but he was immediately nodding.

"I'm listening to that. Anything you say is an agreement you made in front of the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons... it feels like your stupid son was put on by those two, but let the ministers know that it was agreed as the Borderline House."

Boundary uncle on the boulder seemed to have noticed the thoughts of those two, but Lion looked more surprised. Besides, it seemed increasingly confusing because it was something that Albert and Cain, who were beside it, blew out laughing.

"There's nothing more to say here. And our inn..."

"Um, as I said earlier, besides my house, I also have a lodging that is said to be the best in Shellhide. Should I show you around once?

"No, if you don't mind, I'd like to take care of you at Uncle Borderline's mansion. I promised Lyon and Borderline Uncle I'd go visit before, so I thought it would be just the right opportunity. Just..."

"Just?"

"Please separate the rooms between men and women and distance them from each other. It's just unmarried men and women, so I want to avoid that kind of slander at all."

Borderline uncle, who heard my order, nodded loudly and promised me that he would have a room as I said, but on the contrary Amur and Aura looked remorseful. And for some reason, Edilia too...

"Now, as soon as the room is ready, let me show the people in the house. Until then, you should rest in this room."

Having said that, Uncle Borderline and Mr. Edilia left the room saying they had business to attend to. Before getting out of the room, Mr. Edilia had her gaze at Mr. Chris once, so I guess that regrettable face was Mr. Chris' relationship.

"Huh... I kind of got a shoulder on me. Unlike Lion on the boulder, I'm nervous to meet Uncle Borderline."

"Right."

"For the fact that your wife is nicotine, there was something kind of compelling..."

Jeanne and Aura also agreed to that as Mr. Chris stretched while sitting in the chair. By the way, the two tried to stand behind them even when they moved into this room, but were seated half-forced by Mr. Edilia.

"Neighboring with other countries, like the Borderlands, might create a force of nature."

"Maybe so. The atmosphere of samurai was stronger than that of the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons."

"Well, your father and Marquis Sammons have more character than a civilian."

"Most importantly, I don't think Mr. Borderline's power at that time was quite what we all thought it was."

To that word, my grandfathers said, 'What do you mean?' I looked at Cain like that, but Cain looked to Lion with a laugh.

So when I looked at Lion all together, Lion looked somewhere complicated. And

"That was... my dad at that time, he was just nervous. My dad is nervous and he knows people..."

And an unexpected testimony popped up. On the boulder. This seemed to be information that Chris, who had met with Uncle Borderline several times, did not even know, which in a way was most surprising.

"That's why Lion's heckle is inherited in a way."

"Dad says there's no problem there because your wife covers it."

"When I first greeted you, you looked great because you were just nervous."

"Besides, in the middle of the words, if I did, I would have cared about your wife because people were familiar... so what were the fifteen points that Mr. Edilia said later?

"Maybe it's an assessment point that adds up to things that I've said so nervously and so greatly, and attitudes when I'm thanking and apologizing. Perhaps by now my father will be abandoned by his mum."

Apparently, even at the Borderline House (...), your wife is stronger.

"What kind of person is Mrs. Borderline?

Lion thought a little about his grandfather's question before

"Does it feel like supporting my father from behind without coming forward from me? Originally, when she was a child, she went into the Borderline House as an apprentice and married her father's mother… in the eyes of the previous Mrs. Borderline (my grandmother). By the way, you think I'm wearing made-up clothes because it's easy to cook and clean hobbies? I heard that my mother's home was a baron's house, and that a group of ministers who attached great importance to the connection between the sides tried to get my father to have a side room, but that my father's familiarity with the people was bad and he couldn't do it."

"It's... a rare category of nobility, even to my knowledge. If it's the other way around, I hear it all the time."

"Ahhh... so when you were greeting me in front of His Majesty, after you first checked the position of the Kingsguard, you never turned your gaze. Rather than checking the placement, it was checking to see where I could find the extra person."

"I thought maybe you were right..."

Lion replied affirmatively to the word that Mr. Chris' point had been made.

"Well, that's why I'm sure he's never a good person to look at sweetly. According to what I've heard, not only is he in command of the army, but he's also very powerful as a samurai, and Dad says he can do it directly to the Kingsguard."

"Most of all, without magic," Chris continued to say to Cain, "It's a famous story." Well, if that's not the case, you won't be able to rule the territory adjacent to your neighbor.

"Then Lion has to work pretty hard. Mainly in political terms."

Everyone except Lion laughed at my thoughts, and when Ochi arrived, Mr. Edilia came to say he was ready for the room. Cain to Mr. Chris and Albert, Jeanne and Aura seemed only to think it was a good time, but I, my exploring grandfather, and Lion in me, closest to the wild, understood that it was not a good time, but simply because Mr. Edilia was waiting in front of the door to erase the signs.

There's something close to Eina and Mr. Cliff in how to erase that sign, so much so that I thought maybe he had the heart of a martial arts, like those two.

"Please use these four rooms for men and three rooms for women."

The room that Mr. Edilia showed me was as far away from men and women as I asked. However, I wondered why there was one less room for women (I thought Jeanne and Aura were alone because they were maids, and two rooms were available), and Chris had a room next to Lyon just because there were only three rooms available for women to clean.

"Hey, Albert, Cain. I'm pretty sure this is it."

"Oh, definitely"

"Mr. Edilia, you're trying to keep Lyon and Senior Chris together."

Chris appears to have been locked on as the next Mrs. Borderline by the current Mrs. Borderline. But Chris, who's been saying, "There's not just Lion,"

Mrs. Borderline, you don't have to worry about me.

and grabbed the root of Amur, who was leaning toward me,

"We had these problem children on this journey, and we are more strictly ordered than Maria to keep an eye on them. So I have to be in the same room as this problem child (Amur)."

"Mmm."

That said, Mr. Chris was circumventing Mr. Edilia's plans. Even Mrs Borderline had to pull her hand when she was given the name of the queen with the highest power among women.

"Yes, Mother. First of all, if you're in the next room, I can't feel safe... sorry, it's nothing."

Before Lion uttered his usual light mouth, Mr. Chris glared at me and made me grow up. Edilia, who was watching, seemed so sorry (presumably because she missed Chris and how badly Lion was able to do it).

Then I decided on each room (I secured the far end for men, and Mr. Chris ignored Amur's opinion and chose the furthest from my room) and it was free time until dinner time in the room.

"Well, how do you spend the hours leading up to dinner...... sleep"

It was half the time to do anything, so I decided not to go to bed lightly.

Each room I rented was out of the bag and fell asleep because I could afford to serve the Shiloumals (not the original size, but the size of the collar). Once at the door, I said, 'I'll sleep till dinner. Don't wake me up,' but if anyone did, I asked Slalin to deal with it or wake me up, and then I went to bed.

And just before dinner.

"Wow!

"Ugh."

I was woken up by Shiloumal's hand. Sounds like Shiloumal was trying to put his hand around my shoulder or chest but he just missed his sight and dropped his hand in the center of my face...... very suspicious, but he's scolded by Sularin before I get angry (restrained by the emperorized Sularin), so let's just leave it to him instead.

"Oh Tenma, it's time for dinner!

Outside the door, I hear Lyon coming to inform me of dinner time.

"I'm going now"

He was lightly acquainted and then joined Lion with Slalin and Solomon. It should be noted that Shiloumal did not appear to have been swallowed up in the body (dimension bag of) Slalin. Well, Suralin would free you up in the right place, so it wouldn't just mean you skipped dinner.

"Let's just go! Everyone had to go first!

Everyone else was led by Mr. Edilia, and Lion stayed to guide me.

"I didn't know Tenma was asleep, I thought I'd play in my room and pick her up, but Sularin said no."

She couldn't help it, so it was the usual three of us.

"Speaking of which, Amur and I were mistaken for each other."

"Because we have to lock up properly at night."

Talking, etc., I headed to the dining room where everyone waited with guidance from Lyon.

Everyone was in the dining room except me and Lion, and as soon as me and Lion got to their seats, we could start eating.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

I walked into the dining room and uttered the most apologetic words at the opening, and Rion led me straight to my seat. Mr. and Mrs. Borderline on the top of the rectangular table, me, Grandpa, Amur, Jeanne and Aura lined up on the left-hand side of the couple, with Lion, Albert, Cain and Mr. Chris on the right-hand side. It is a form divided between the acquaintances of Uncle Borderline and those who do not. Chris seems to be in line one way or another with me, but I guess I balanced the number with Edilia's thoughts working to be that seat...... I'm not overtly imitating letting a boulder sit next to Lion, but I would have liked the real thing to be the next seat.

"Okay, Kampa...... Mmm-hmm!

Seeing me and Lion get to their seats, Uncle Borderline suddenly tried to get the head of the toast, but was interrupted by Edilia next door poking her with her elbow. In that gap, several maids pour drinks into each cup.

"I'd like some tea. Amur, you're a bad alcoholic, so juice or tea. And Jeanne and Aura."

Mr. Chris declined a maid's attempt to pour wine and banned the Amurs sitting across the street from drinking alcoholic beverages. Well, since Amur is a Viscount Lady (although she is not aware of herself) and has a bad liquor habit, she shouldn't even be allowed to drink it in the sense of preventing lethargy, and Jeanne and Aura are treated as guests but maids, so she shouldn't. They seemed conscious, too, and did exactly what Chris said. It's just that Mr. Chris turned down alcohol and designated tea for a different reason than the three of us.

Chris can drink more than a crowd. However, there are places where you get better, so sometimes you get drunk. In fact, sometimes when I come to visit my house because the next day is a holiday, I get drunk during the day and sleep until the next morning.

Well, that's when Aina stays and takes care of herself, and even when she's not around, Jeanne and Aura take care of her, so my grandfather and I don't (or can't) make contact. But if you get drunk at Borderline Uncle House, you could be thrown into Lyon's room by Edilia, who thinks of Mr. Chris as Lyon's daughter-in-law.

If Mr. Drunken Chris was brought into Lion's room, but Lion was able to make a normal decision, he would be able to return to his room without a thing. But there's no way Lion won't drink in these seats. Besides, this is Lyon's home, so I wouldn't hesitate to drink it. And you'll get drunk.

If that happens, unmarried men and women will spend the night. Besides, he couldn't prove his innocence because he was drunk and asleep. After that, the world will have to say how these things and responsibilities are and get married.

Chris supposedly turned down alcohol after thinking so much about it. And look at Mr. Chris, who turned down alcohol, and Mr. Edilia looks like he's going to regret it.

"This time, in honor of the acquaintance of the House Borderline Bo and Ootri families, I was allowed to set up a feast seat in a whisper. I want you to enjoy it fully. Okay, cheers!

At the end of such a rush under the water, where a drink had gone to all, Borderline uncle, who seemed unaware of the two rushes, took the head of the toast.

In the meal that followed, there was no conversation between me and Uncle Borderline. Well, when it comes to the common topic between me and Uncle Borderline, the first thing that comes up is the case of Kukuri Village six years ago, and the other things are about the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons, but because of the fact that there are two of them (and they are close to me), the story didn't go on.

It was Lion who worried about me and Uncle Borderline. It was rare for Lion to try to hold the time between them, but that was what Lion would do, so it had little effect. Instead, he probably shouldn't have been there because he switches stories where Uncle Borderline is likely to be added to the story.
