Volume 6 Chapter 68 (1/2)

Chapter 68 - Preparation

──There was a topic that could be heard sporadically in the royal capital Centralle

It was the ruate ht that they would be able to sell various goods like weapon or food and acted busily

Rather than renowned adventurers, it was the jobless nobles and normal citizens instead who jumped at this kind of story

Houses that had no job even if the title could be passed down to the next generation and the knights whose title was only li to be promoted Other than them there was also the coht Those kinds of people participated into this subjugation group That was the state of the royal capital

Aria alking through the street of Centralle nostalgically

She was looking around the food stalls since the

「H~m, the price is a bit expensive」

The owner talked to Aria as looking at thefroh After all, there is the transport cost of bringing them until here I'll sell them cheaper than other shop so buy soh at the shop owner's words with a co her a cheap price so he must be a kind person but……

(I was born in Centralle though!)

And yet she was thought as co from other place

She couldn't accept it at all but, it was also the proof that she had grown tough as an adventurer

She wasn't a tohter like in the past She had becoth could be seen clearly just frooods she purchased before walking back to the inn

Then, she encountered a houseas in thein front of a shop

It was a sight that could be found in any city

She was h her but,

「Did you hear? It see applicants」

「I want to make the deadbeats in my place to join it too」

「Oh, in that case I want to o too」

The housewives laughing with each other were quite old It see how they wanted their sons ouldn't succeed the faation force to earn money or to obtain success in life

Aria pretended to look at the goods lined up in the shop while listening to their conversation

「I heard it's at a small town called Gioni」

「I never heard about that place Is it a countryside?」

「I wonder ill be leading the force I want to give a kick at the men in the house to er, but their attitude changed drastically when they heard a certain name

「You know, it's Norht」

「That Norma? So she was proetting rid of a nuisance? Haa, then it's no good Even though I think that this is finally a chance for them to be successful in life」

The housewives returned to their shopping

(Norarding that topic though)

Aria came from Centralle, but she didn't know about Nor lady, has you decided about what to buy?」

The shop owner talked to her with a friendly s to look around and bought so that place──

Centralle's inn

When I became alone in the room, I sent my consciousness into the Jewel in order to talk with the ancestors

I consulted the the request but……

『Heir candidate? What are you talking about? Do you seriously think that Ralph-kun will decide the heir in that way?』

The Third was exasperated

「No, but you know That Lionel guy was speaking that confidently so, I thought that perhaps it ht actually be the case」

『No way It's absolutely no way Perhaps Lionel-kun thought that, but Ralph-kun didn't say even a word about that At best he was only et such idea In the first place see……the heir that Ralph-kun ill be soht with strong physical strength won't he』

When I thought about Circry House's occupation, then certainly a heir whose strongpoint was physical strength would be unnecessary

「Then, what's theof this request?」

The Third seeriff right? Perhaps there isn't any deepto it and he is really just troubled?』

I pondered for a bit before asking the Third

「I don't understand that There are knight orders in the kingdoht? Then, everything will be taken care of if they just send theht away」

The Seventh joined the talk

『Lyle, in the world there are also ti isn't the answer Naturally what you said Is correct but, at the sa』

The Seventh was slowly speaking in a way that was easy for me to understand

『Do you knohy there are jobless houses that don't even have anything to do?』

「I think that they are spares though」

『Right They're spares But, don't you think that it's not good if the spares continue to increase in number?』

The explanation from the Seventh from there was the talk that the nobles who could pass down their title were also increasing in number Naturally there were also houses that went extinct, but the problem was the number of nobles still increased

The second son and third son of prestigious nobles went independent and forht raised achieveot promoted to become a noble who could pass down his title

The nu

In that case, it was the palace that got troubled They were paying annuity to nobles who didn't even work after all, so the cost was also increasing in proportion of the increase of nobles

In that case I thought that it would be fine if they stopped increasing the nu The second son and third son who received education but couldn't succeed their house, ould happen if they had no dream or hope?

It would be still fine if they became adventurer, but there was a possibility that they would take the wrong path and dirtied their hand with criic

In a lot of case the da cri ──It's necessary to decrease their nu a chance for theht order or trained soldiers』

Rather than wearing away the ihts and soldiers, they wanted to wear away the nobles eren't working It seemed that was the lasses slightly to fix its position while saying

『Being able to select the battlefield properly is a good thing Lyle, consider the subjugation force as a force only in na a bit If you ith the that you'll be able to see』

The Sixth also nodded

『Yeah After all the people around Lyle are all too capable I won't say that's a bad thing but……it's better to know this thing beforehand』

There were still a lot of things that I was lacking in

Setting that aside──

「Come to think of it, this is a different topic but why is everyone hating capital noble? No, I understand the reason but……despite that so together with them」

Like Circry House's relationshi+p with Walt House

I wouldn't say that it would be fine to not have any relationshi+p with them if it was unpleasant but, I couldn't understand why their attitude wasn't clear

The ancestors spoke the circuuess The best is to not associate with them But, we also can't do that』

『After all from the perspective of the palace, the feudal lords are also people that can't be let alone to do as they please』

『They're unpleasant, but there is no choice of not associating with theet attacked in the worse case』

『Regarding this, it's that It's what they called give-and-take』

『It's necessary We have to associate with them even if it's unpleasant』

I tilted my head

「But……everyone hate them isn't it?」

『I hate theet for my arrows!』

『It make you want to punch them when you see their face isn't it? Or rather I hit the at that time!』

『I want to slowly corner the face』

『If I can cut the any future trouble……I think I'll be able to !』

『The word hate is insufficient to describe it ……The urge to kill is welling up!』

It seemed the ancestors hated the a scary face

I shouldn't ask just what in the world happened when they were alive

「Even so everyone get along with theht Besides it's often said isn't it……that is that, this is this』

Both sides hated each other, but if there was profit to be had then they would get along……being a noble was hard

I thought that I would rather stay like I ahtly He looked somewhat embarrassed

『By the way……can I borrow Lyle?』

Everyone else made a really complicated expression

『Ye, yep Do your best』

The Third too didn't joke around this tiave his support

The Second looked embarrassed

『Sto, stop that! It'll be a success for sure this time! This time I'll absolutely pass down my Art to Lyle and vanish for sure!』

The Second……you still hadn't given that up?

Inside the Second's memory room

The scenery of the territory that the Second once ruled was spread out I could see the scene of tranquil and well ordered village

For the Second ent through hardshi+ps to improve the messed up territory, this scenery e's scenery looked like the representation of the Second's precise character

We walked in that village heading to the training place for bow

Although I called it a training place, it was only a spacious place with several targets lined up

In front of the targets that looked used really frequently, the Second fired up hi this?」

『See here Our role is to teach our Art to you! Even though previously I said h it's the end, and yet I returned together with you to that place Do you understand 』

Certainly it felt like I had done so bad I felt responsible that I couldn't inherit the Art But, it was the ancestors who thought of their own that I'd be able to do it

……It shouldn't be ain and explained his Art

『The third stage of the Art is Select Originally it's soet that you want to use the Art at but, it too will become like this if you use it in this way』

The Second took out his bow from somewhere

This place was a world of ht away, and even inflicted wounds could be healed completely instantly

With five arrows in hand, he faced a target and fired

Then, the arrows changed direction ets that were lined up The five arrows each hit the center of the five targets

I made a small applause

「It'sright? It's different froinal use but, it's really convenient Now then……Lyle, try it』

The boas handed to n of frequent use It e

The number of arrows handed to me was three

I took a stance and focused on the Art

It was like aat the spot that I aimed at It felt like the arroould head there naturally if I let go……but, when I fired the arrows

『WHYYYYYYYY!』

The Second held his head with his hands felt distressed seeing that the arrows only headed at the direction I was pointing at

『You should be able to do it! Lyle, aren't you holding back there?』

My shoulders dropped

「I' back This is really difficult」

『Really? You aren't lying?』

The Second was doubtingsound came from a nearby bushes The Second took the bow froht away

The aze was spontaneously stolen by it

A one horned rabbit rushed out from the bushes

──It was a monster that was considered as Walt House's hated enemy, especially by the First until the Third

『Haahh-!』

The arroas fired and instantly pierced the heart

『Yossha!』

The Second put away the bow

「……Why is a one horned rabbit cauely at ht be why More iht that you would absolutely succeed though』

The Second was obstinate

──The night Lyle and others returned from Circry House's mansion

Clara piled up the ten books that she purchased in the royal capital and stared at the first but, before that she threw a question at Nove that was in her mind

「I heard that Lyle-san accepted a request froht with that?」

There were few times when Novem objected to Lyle's policy

At best she would protest if it looked like there would be danger to Lyle

「It's Lyle-sa froth and scale, it was unthinkable that they would lose

Certainly, it would be a convenient request if they wanted to raise their fame

「I heard that the circumstances in the royal capital is different from Arumsaas Like how the majority of the participants are nobles and citizens rather than adventurers Will it be alright?」

For Lyle and co, this was a request they didn't have experience in

At the same time, there was also the circu of the essentials when doing ith adventurers like norht this request would become a painful experience

Clara had understood just how troublesome nobles were from Arumsaas

Besides, there was a point that Clara was concerned about

「It seems that Circry House said they won't allow Mirandsan to co your partytold that

But, the reason was as it was

Circry House was the house of Miranda and Shannon Those words could be taken as the about the two of them

Novem replied indifferently

「They didn't mention Shannon-chan's naoistic circumstances of the other side There is no need to pay attention to that」

Clara was also intending to do so

Miranda had refused that de Shannon too

But──

(Novee She knoho she faced, but she is still putting this attitude even when dealing with noble Isn't she scared of noble?)

Even though she should have lived in the noble society until nohen she was judging about the right and wrong of everything she would consider it with Lyle as the center to a degree that could even be called absolute

If she looked at Lyle's upbringing and his relationshi+p with Novem, then there was also a part that couldHowever, there was also parts that made her unable to understand at the saht noas nothing more than an adventurer

The way he spoke was soft, and he also gave a kind athly, but that aspect of her still weighed her mind heavily

(She is also not stupid by any means, she should understand that the possibility of Lyle-san being able to return being a noble is low, and yet)
