241 Chapter 16-19 Organizing Available Rooms

"I had a little trouble, but it seems to have worked out pretty well."

I see. I was surprised that Primera had a play with Viscount Abis... well, it sounds like a noble daughter. Speaking of which, why don't you get Primera's room ready, and decide which one you want?

On the way home from the party, my grandfather and I were thrilled by the Duke's carriage and talks about what to do with Primera's room.

"I was just thinking...."

"My teeth are cut badly. Maybe you're going to use the tent room together?

Just because you're officially engaged doesn't mean you can't use the same room from before you get married. Even though you are supposed to leave the aristocratic registry if you get married, I think that Primera is aristocratic until you get married, so you should be careful with her.

"We don't have to use the spare room together, and it's not good to sleep in the same room at the pre-marriage stage. No, I thought I'd clean up my spare room once. I don't know what it is, so I'd rather get help from everybody than just me."

Our mansion is now divided into female and male sections and places for visitors. When Grandpa came to live in King's City, he ordered us to create a room for ourselves and the people of Cukli Village when something happened to the King, so that when Grandpa reunited with me and became energized, he no longer needed it, so that he could completely separate the rooms between men and women. Well, since I live in the Mansion with my grandfather, Jeanne, Aura and Amur's five rooms and the three rooms reserved by the Tidas, there are about ten rooms left, including rooms.

"If you think about it carefully, there are too many rooms. Besides, it's almost like a warehouse because I can't take advantage of them...."

I see. I still don't know what all the rooms look like, and all the empty rooms other than the ones I have reserved as guest rooms are trash... goddamn it! There are places where I use it instead of the warehouse. "

Jeanne and Aura, who are cleaning, know what kind of room Luna might have, but at least my grandfather and I use a room that is a library, apart from our own room and the warehouse (and workshop) that we use, so even though we are parents and ex-parents, we don't really know the inside of the house.

"So, first of all, let's just sort out the area around our room and increase the number of rooms that people can live in."

In the future, it may be necessary to clean up all the rooms and change the allocation of rooms, but suddenly it's impossible, so I suggested we just organize it near us.

When I came near the Mansion to discuss that,

"Grandpa, there's a royal carriage running a little further."

"Are you telling me you're headed our way? When it comes to appearing at this time, it's probably about the 19th party."

If someone from the royal family were on their way to our Mansion, it would be quicker for us to meet now, so I decided to get off the carriage and go ahead.

"It's not completely rude... but I don't usually imitate it like that."

I was able to park the royal carriage safely, and after confirming that the destination was the Ootori Mansion, I moved to this carriage with my grandfather... and Maria-sama scolded me.

Ahead of the royal carriage, I tried to give a signal to stop the carriage... and Ding jumped out of the carriage by mistake for a suspicious man. It should be noted that Cliff reported that there was a "suspicious guy ahead" before he realized that I was giving the signal. At the same time as he realized the identity of the "suspicious guy" and tried to convey it to the back, Din jumped out, so he couldn't stop. Incidentally, the signal I gave to stop the carriage was, "Hey! Because it was a thumbs-up from Nori like 'Taxi!', Cliff told me that he was a 'suspicious guy giving weird signals'.

The rude thing Maria-sama said earlier doesn't bother me even if I stopped the royal carriage, but it seems that it is not strange to be slashed and abandoned in a situation where no one knows.

While scolded by Maria-sama, I asked why I was coming, and I learned that what I was afraid of was faster than I expected. Well, Maria-sama came to deal with it, so I'm sure the trouble will be less than half.

"It looks like Jeanne and Aura aren't here. Either you're not aware of it or you're busy... either way, it's a reduction."

We came through the gate of the Mansion to the front door, but Jeanne and Aura, who always opened and closed the gate, didn't come, so Eina tried to open the door instead....

"Master Tenma, this is going to be a little interesting, so please try opening it instead."

and so on. Well, since it's my house door, I'm not resistant to opening it myself, but when I open it thinking about what's funny,

"Tenma, what are you talking about?

"Oniichan, explain!

Just before I opened the door, there was Chris and Luna, who were royal. So I gently closed the door.

"I just heard Chris and Luna, but what's going on?

Grandpa, who was suspicious of my reaction, pushed me and opened the door....

Hmm.

That's why I closed it immediately.

"I knew you were here... Aina"

"Yes"

She saw me and Grandpa and realized everything. Maria-san changed places with us and made Eina open the door. Then,

"Mr. Tenma! Just now... hi!

"Chris, get in the way! Oniichan... ghost!

I thought maybe I was joking (apparently I didn't realize it was my grandfather the second time), or when I was at Maria-san & Aina the third time, they were stuck and frozen when I realized who they were. And there was an atmosphere where Luna was going to be worse than Chris when she was silent.

"In the meantime, can I talk to you inside?

"Yes..."

After Maria-sama stared at me for a moment, the two of them moved to the dining hall with great restraint. Meanwhile, I went upstairs with my grandfather to check out the available rooms. Then,

"Tempura, Cruz and Luna are beginning to be preached to by Maria-sama. What should I do?

Jeanne, Aura and Amur came. The three of them were in the dining room (Chris and Luna were standing at the front door, so they didn't get caught), but Maria-sama came in first, and they felt that Chris and Luna would be scolded from the atmosphere and evacuated.

When I told the three of them to organize the empty room that was in the warehouse while securing Primera's room, they raised their hands and offered to help. Well, the three of them have taken the liberty of replacing the empty room with a warehouse, so you want to avoid being caught by me and my grandfather.

"If we were all doing this, would Primera have been better off?

As a result, if everyone was going to clean up the spare room, I would have liked Primera to pick out the room they wanted....

"I don't think that's possible."

Eina told me she couldn't do it because she was getting closer from behind. As I was getting used to this pattern, Grandpa and I weren't so surprised, but the other three seemed surprised at the sudden appearance, flying from the spot and taking a distance. Amur's surprise, in particular, was that he hid with his ears and tails pinned and Jeanne and Aura shielded.

"'Cause you're busy cleaning up after the party?

The Duke will take care of all the servants, but perhaps there is something related to the participants. That's what I thought.

"Perhaps Primera should have been scolded by Caesar by now, so even if Tempura had invited her, she would have been rejected for some reason by the Duke. So I will help you with Primera's absence. I was just wondering how Aura and Jeanne were occupying the spare room."

After all, I told Eina that Jeanne and the others were free to use the spare room, but I could not refuse because she understood and wanted to make sure.

Amur knew that Eina's targets were Jeanne and Aura, and she was pretending to tease both of them... Since Eina had seen Amur several times earlier, the target seemed to be three rather than two. Maybe there are five of them, including me and Grandpa... Me and Grandpa basically throw stuff into a magic bag, and since they are the owner and former owner of this mansion, I don't think they will say such harsh things...

That's how I started organizing my spare room... and my grandfather and I just finished thinking, "It's kind of dusty, but (...) (...) it's not so messy." Regarding Jeanne, she was given a pretty strict rating: "Well, I'd say it's been cleared up, but as a maid, I avoided the critical red dot." And the real Aura and Amur, "Out of the question. Now, get started."

With those two, Grandpa and Jeanne were discussing what to do with the spare room while looking around to avoid irritating Eina. And there it is.

"Oniichan! Why didn't you tell me you were engaged?

I don't know if they let me go or if I escaped, but Luna came upstairs and made a scene.

"Luna, did Maria-sama say you could come here?

If you're running away, I heard you're going to catch fire with me if you don't take me to Maria-sama as soon as possible.

"It's okay! Grandma told me to help oniichan!

"If Luna says so, is it okay? Rather, Eina, what do you mean Primera gets scolded?

I was worried about coming out of the conversation earlier, but I decided to ask her what she was asking because Eina immediately checked the empty room.

"Tenma doesn't seem to care, but Primera told Viscount Abis about her engagement, so she should be more careful than reprimanding her for it... It wasn't an order, but it was supposed to be a secret until the party with the consent of the royal family, the Duke of Sanga, and the Ootori family, so even though it all went well, as a royal family, it wouldn't stand out unless you were careful."

"Then maybe I should have stayed.

I thought that if what the three families agreed to was broken, I wouldn't be irrelevant, but Aina said "just in case", so it could be important if I was there. In other words, the Otori didn't know that their consent had been broken, and the Royal Family and the Duke of Sanga's "political judgment" resolved it secretly.

"Well, it's not a big deal, but it's troublesome to have a discussion, and we don't have anything to do with the nobility. Shall we pretend to find out about this a long time later and have a laugh someday?

"I think that's good."

The discussion between the nobles was not really a problem, so Caesar and the Duke of Sanga would have teased Primera to the end.

I heard what I was worried about, so I thought I'd clean up some other spare rooms.

"Oniichan! You just ignored me!

Luna was angry when she took my turn. In fact, during the conversation with Aina, Luna talked to me several times, but I was convinced that it was annoying, so I ignored it until I came up with a countermeasure. Well, I came up with it, but I pretended that I didn't realize that maybe I would give up, but it seemed impossible.

"Why did you leave me alone to talk about your engagement! Oniisama knew!

"Didn't Maria tell you why?

I didn't think that story would come up in the sermon, so I asked, "I'm not convinced you didn't tell me because it seems like it was me! I didn't pull it off. Well, even if I were Luna, I wouldn't fall for it. Of course, in my case, I'm convinced it's because I'm not directly involved.

"Luna, I kept it a secret, but they asked me what happened to Teeda... oh, I was here before that."

"Oniisama, what's wrong?

Luna ate it as expected when she smelled that something had happened to Teda, who knew about me and Primera's engagement.

"When I went to the royal castle to report on the dungeon, did Luna and Teeda go with Maria?

"Yeah."

"That's when Luna was taken by Isabella, right? Actually, I accidentally slipped my mouth in front of Teeda and they found out about my engagement, but Maria-sama told me never to tell Teeda. Teeda faithfully defended it and didn't tell Amy... but Amy stuck with it in today's announcement. Amy was so angry that she was worried she might break up."

"Really?"

"Well, for me (...), I (...) I (...) saw (...) I (...)... but in fact, Teda looked tired. Even though Teeda was like that, in the case of Luna... the person who gets angry at Luna when she breaks up about her engagement will be Maria, Caesar and Isabella, so by simple calculation, she will be three times tired. And even though Teeda kept it a secret, if Luna leaked it, it wouldn't be triple."

That said,

"I don't do that!

and came back. But...

"To tell you the truth, Teeda was always careful not to even tell Amy, so it was a huge burden just to keep quiet. Amy is my associate, so I have to tell you... do you think Luna has been able to keep secrets from her close friends for a long time?

"That's it! Um... um..."

Luna couldn't say with her chest that it would be okay if she said that, and she gradually lost momentum.

"If I had told you about my engagement, Luna would have had extra trouble, so I didn't tell you. Well, that's what Primera and I used to say, but perhaps Maria was the king's choice for the royal family. If you want to know why, you have to ask one of them... but I don't know why the royal side is."

The operation is complete by arranging similar reasons and finally drawing the attention of the King and Maria. Regardless of how many grandchildren, Luna will not be able to come out as strongly as Maria-sama, so if the spear is facing, it will be the king. If this is the case, you won't have to struggle with anything other than the king.

"It's kind of like a con artist's trick. There are places where you can use words that you can make excuses for whatever you want without saying it."

"Aina, shut up."

Aina teases me with a small voice so I can't hear Luna, but I'm not lying, so there's no problem. Luna may be mistaken, but sometimes the intent of the story is not well communicated because each person interprets it differently.

"Luna, why don't you clean your room? I don't know when Maria-sama will check in."

Luna had a nasty face when she heard it was cleaning, but when she gave Maria-sama's name, she hurried to the room she had secured.

"Aura, you have to clean it up."

Eina didn't know whether to help or supervise, but she nailed Aura and chased Luna immediately.

"Is Aina making me and my grandfather pretty much over?

I see. So in Primera's room, you can make a room near Jeanne and move to the temple after you get married, depending on your wishes. After I get married, I'll move my room too. Don't get in the way of Tenma and Primera's evening out!

Shit!

The last one was a joke, so I tried to stick my thumb in the flank instead, but my grandfather seemed to be reading it and was sidetracked.

Well then, you should leave your spare room clean until Primera comes to play next time.

Jeanne closed as if nothing had happened, so she gave up hitting Grandpa and headed for the dining room with the three of them. Then,

"Oh, are we done here?

I bowled with Maria-sama who was coming upstairs. With Ding behind it, I'm sure you've finished preaching to Chris.

"Tempa, Chris is feeling a little rough, so please calm down. I'll take care of it."

"Please."

It was completely round, but eventually I had to do something about Chris. So,

"Mr. Tenma! Why did you keep quiet?

"Hey, temper, are you listening?

"Hello, can you hear me ~?"

"Maybe you're angry, Mr. Tempura?

Chris got stuck in the cafeteria, but I treated it as if I hadn't completely ignored it. After a while,

"Oniichan, I'm hungry!

"Sure."

"At all, when Luna..."

Amur, Aura, and Mariah came.

"Jeanne, prepare tea for nine."

"Shouldn't it be enough?

"Me, Grandpa, Amur, Jeanne, Aura, Maria, Luna, Din, Aina. Nine, right? Who else is there?

"Eh... hold on a second."

"Jeanne! Ten, ten! There are enough of us!

"Jeanne, don't panic. Please don't panic for nine minutes."

When I deliberately counted all but Chris, Jeanne went to prepare the tea with a glimpse of Chris. Chris insisted on his back, but I insisted on nine.

Maria and the others who were watching our conversation realized that I was treating Chris as unavailable and took their seats without looking at Chris's proposal. Well, Amur and Luna were watching Chris laughing, so Chris was approaching to appeal to his existence, but Amur said,

"Tenma, I caught a big bug and I'm going to throw it in the garden."

"Don't go as far as you can."

I tried to strangle Chris with wings and pull him into the garden. Then,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tempura. Forgive me already! I won't complain about the engagement, so please treat me like a person at least!

At last, Chris surrendered.

"Oh, Chris, when were you in the cafeteria? I didn't see him, so I thought he was home."

"Hmm, I should have caught a bug, but I was surprised when I got Chris!

He also acknowledged Chris's presence in a performance inferior to that of a third-class actor.

"I almost had a bad eye...."

Chris, who was about to be thrown out, looked at me with a grudge while drinking the tea that Jeanne had brought, but he sat still in his seat.

"I wish it were quiet until the wedding."

And whispering casually,

"I don't think that's possible. The wedding of the Duke of Sanga (Albert) to the" Dragon Killer "engagement... that's probably the most talked about this year, but if Tenma does something like what she did at the Duke's wedding party in Gungjo City, there will undoubtedly be more couples celebrating weddings this year than usual."

"When that happens, I don't think the focus of this year's conversation will be on tempura."

"Yes, that's right, Master Merlin. And perhaps there will be demands not only from the nobles, but also from civilians, who want to imitate the wedding of the Tenma."

Yes, Maria-sama reacted, and Grandpa was there with pleasure.

As for me, I didn't have to ask for permission, so it was like I asked each of you to come on your own, but after seeing me like that and reading what I was thinking, Maria said,

"Well, it would be interesting for others to imitate what the nobles and their families started doing on their own. If you were a nobleman, you might be able to steal the party, or if you were a civilian, you might be able to imitate it and blame it on your own and risk your life."

There are a lot of troubles between the aristocracy, and it seems that even the aristocrats are reluctant to do things on their own. Moreover, the way I started the wedding might not have been a problem if I had remained a civilian, nor a nobleman nor a civilian, but because I was a civilian and became a member of the Duke of Sanga, it seems that I had to take the same care as the nobleman.

"What a hassle... there must have been someone like me before."

"Well, some of you may have done the same thing, but it's only the same, and you can say that the luxury goods are served as course food to each and every one of you like a tempura, and that dessert... especially the one who served that huge cake is not in my memory or in the records of the imperial castle, so you can say that it's a tempura original wedding."

I got a note from Maria-sama here... but it's getting more and more troublesome.

"If you want to avoid trouble, perhaps you should just say in front of the other nobles, 'The wedding in Gungjo was the original idea'. And then," If you want to have a wedding in the same style, feel free to do it, "Tenma says," I think I'll do it on my own. "

It seems that, so I decided to have Maria tell the king about it. However, I decided to add "after Albert's wedding." That way, I can say that I care about the Duke of Sanga, so I don't think there will be any rumors that I'm actually unhappy with the Duke.

"Well, no matter how well you advertise your friendship, some of you will come out and believe it, but most of you will hear rumors. And I think it would be a good impression to say," Not after our wedding, but after our brother-in-law's wedding. "Anyway, it's more than six months before the wedding, but Albert can wait a few months."

Albert and Eliza are planning to have their wedding as soon as possible in the spring, so it should only take a few months to wait, and there are fewer couples celebrating weddings in the winter than in other seasons in the first place, so there should be fewer complaints.

"Albert asked me to, and above all, it's my brother-in-law's wedding, so I'll do my best."

Well, keep it that way.

"I'm looking forward to the wedding now!

When I was talking to Maria-sama, Luna interrupted the conversation, who had been listening to me a lot. It seems to have reacted where I said I'd work hard, but reacting there means....

"I don't mind expecting a meal or dessert, but I'm more likely not to be called Luna."

Why!

Luna looked surprised, but as a participant from the royal family, she would be paired with the King and Maria, or Caesar and Isabella. Maybe Teeda will also be called in relation to Amy, but then three people from the royal family will likely attend, so it will be too much to attend further. Furthermore, since Luna is considerably less important than the five, it is more likely that she will not be called anyway.

"Oniisama's replacement!

"Luna, it's supposed to be royal duty to attend the upper aristocrat's wedding, so I don't think we can do that. I'll call you at my wedding, so be patient in the spring."

However, Luna kept saying selfishness, and eventually Maria-sama scolded her and became reluctant and quiet... but for some reason she was asked to secure the meal and dessert she had served at the wedding without saying selfishness.
