Chapter 184

Return

We, who had returned to the castle after helping Al-sama obtain the Flamesaurus meat in the Huge Animals Dungeon were led to the royalty’s personal salon .

I actually planned on leaving once we sent Al-sama home, but he said he wanted us to go with him for some reason, so we came to the salon for who knows what reason .

“I have just returned . ”

“Welcome back, Alfried . ”

There was Tristan-sama, Grace-sama, and Austin-sama in the salon, but also an elderly person I was not familiar with .

“Oh, you were quick~”

“Why are you here!”

The moment he saw the elderly person, Al-sama made a displeased expression .

They seem to be acquaintances, but… it’s rare for Al-sama to be belligerent right from the start, isn’t it~

“What~ I heard that my cute great-nephew has gone to a dungeon . I came to confirm the results . ”

N? Great-nephew?

So that means, this person is… Al-sama’s grandfather——the late king’s brother?

“Isn’t that strange, though! I came here to report, and yet you are here earlier than me!!”

“I had people at the dungeon’s entrance and had them return super fast after they confirmed that you left the dungeon, so after hearing the report, I immediately left my mansion, that was the plan . ”

Wow, he left people on standby at the dungeon all this time? Even though he had no knowledge of when we would be returning?

… Moreover, rather than being worried about Al-sama, he seemed to have done that for his own amus.e.m.e.nt .

“For what reason!”

“That is, of course, to eat fresh Flamesaurus meat! Since you have returned, it means that you have fulfilled the promise you made to me, no?”

Oh my, the cunning, nagging old man who made Al-sama go obtain the Flamesaurus meat… was this person?

I was imagining a craftier, more sly character, but… it seems that I was totally wrong . If I had to say from his speech and conduct, he seems to be having fun teasing Al-sama .

Well, speaking from the standpoint of the teased party, I wouldn’t be able to welcome it too much either~

“Were you able to complete the errand?”

“What do you mean by errand!”

“I have asked you for Flamesaurus meat, so it’s a proper errand . So, how was it?”

“I have returned because I have obtained it, alright!”

“Hooh~ so you did obtain it? However, it’s not like I could see what had happened in the dungeon . Were you really the one who defeated it?”
