Chapter 210.1 - Wish and Warning After the Festival (1/3) (1/2)

Late at night, when an exhausted child and a drunk adult went home, the festival too came to an end. The village headman went to the beach to see the feudal lord and his group off.

“We’ll be fine here. I had a lot of fun today. Thank you.” [Feudal Lord]

“Likewise. Thank you for enjoying the village festivities, my lord.” [Village Headman]

“I see.” [Ryouma]

The feudal lord smiled, but for a moment he tottered.

“Whoops, looks like I drank a little too much today… Ryouma-kun.” [Feudal Lord]

“Yes?” [Ryouma]

“I want to sober up before getting on the boat, can you accompany me for a bit?” [Feudal Lord]

“Of course.” [Ryouma]

“Thank you. Village Headman.” [Feudal Lord]

“My lord, please allow me to excuse myself here. At my age, the chill of the night wind is simply too harsh.” [Village Headman]

“I see. My apologies. Piguu, it shouldn’t take long for me to sober up, so can you get the boat ready with everyone?”

“Yes, my lord.” [Piguu]

The village headman went back to the village, while Piguu-san and the others left to prepare the boat.

Only the feudal lord and I were left at the beach.

With only the sound of the wind and the waves audible, the feudal lord took a large breath.

“…Fuu… What a nice night breeze. Ryouma-kun, aren’t you cold? As you can see, I’m pretty fat, so this level of cold is just at the right level for me.” [Porco]

“I’m fine, my lord. If it were really cold, I could just use barrier magic to stave it off.” [Ryouma]

“Oh, I see.” [Feudal Lord]

The feudal lord rubbed his stomach and laughed.

“As I’ve mentioned earlier, I really had fun today. Thank you for allowing me to eat so many delicious food.” [Porco]

“It’s my pleasure, my lord.” [Ryouma]

“I was completely absorbed in gorging myself, so I’d forgotten about it, but I just realized that I never really spoke to you about the reward of the request concerning food. Is there anything you want?” [Porco]

“If I had to say, then… Oh, but wasn’t this matter spread throughout the region? If so, then shouldn’t a reward have already been decided for completing it?”
