Chapter 334 (1/2)

Now that Jin had invited Lishia and Pascaud into Nidou castle, he gave them a simple tour.

When he asked them to take their shoes off at the entrance, they gave him a questioning look.

“Everyone does it in houses where I come from. If it bothers you, here are some slippers.”

Jin said, and so the two of them agreed without issue. So there was no need for slippers.

“The flooring feels nice beneath my feet.”

It was nearing the end of spring, and so the temperature was warm and caused you to sweat a little. The polished planks felt cool under their feet and was very pleasant.

Jin led them through the castle.

First, they climbed the stairs and visited the office on the third floor. Then they went to the guest room on the second floor, and to the drawing room below that. They avoided the fourth floor and above for now.

“The baths and toilets are on the first floor. Unfortunately, we are not close to any hot springs, so it is not a natural bath, but I do intend to draw from somewhere eventually.”

“…”

“…”

The two of them were shocked. Well, you might call it a sort of culture shock.

“Ji-Jin. Is this, perhaps, uh, from your homeland…Japan, was it? Is it from there?”

Lishia was the first of the two to return to herself as she asked. She didn’t remember when it was, but Barbara had told her about it.

“Yes, that is correct. Though, it is not exactly the same.”

Lishia looked interested at these words.

“Oh, in that case, your homeland must be very strange! But nice as well! I would like to even visit…”

She added. Jin could only smile in reply to this.

On the other hand, Pascaud looked like he had just swallowed a bitter bug.

Jin took no notice of Pascaud however, as he looked out of the window. You could see that the sun in the blue sky was starting to set.

It was very easy for him to use his Magi Craft Meister abilities to determine the angle of the sun and determine what time it was.

“It is almost four thirty. We are going to celebrate the construction of this castle today, along with celebrating this land being leased, and it will also be a welcome party for our ambassadors. I think to have a banquet.”

Jin announced to the two of them.

“Oh, is that so. How fun.”

Lishia may not have been so accepting if he said that it was just for them, and so he explained all of the other reasons, and she readily accepted it.

“I think to request one thing of you as an ambassador.”

Jin said, and since Lishia understood her position well, said:

“Yes, I understand.”

And she nodded, much to Jin’s relief.

Pascaud continued to mutter to himself as if absorbed in his own little world. But in truth, he was really just confused as he was unable to digest everything that he was seeing here in the castle.

Jin continued to guide the two of them and brought them out to the great hall.
