Unmotivated Hero's Tale

"Director, excuse me. In fact, a customer arrived earlier…"

That was some time after Yui and the others visited Armad's room, and from outside the heavy door with the knock, a slightly rushed voice of a young female employee arrives.

"You're a customer at this hour. Who the hell is that?

Armad, who did not schedule a meeting, blames his neck for a sudden report of a visitor.

"That's right..."

When a female employee tries to respond with a slightly restless voice, she hears a slightly lower male voice, "Fine," and suddenly the door opens.

The man who stood at the end of the open door.

It was an old man with a fine figure.

When he walks into the room without hesitation, he smiles full face towards Yui.

"Oh, Yui! You really came back. How'd it go over there?

"Lord Rhine!

He is one of the four Grand Dukes and a heavy town among the heavy towns in this country.

When Yui and the others were surprised by Lord Rhine's sudden visit, they rushed up from the spot.

But knowing or not their surprise as such, Lord Rhine laughed and shook his right palm up and down twice, recommending to them to remain seated.

"No, it's been a really long time. Actually, I heard you stopped by the military building before you came to my house. I was just on my way back to the royal castle, so I finally picked him up."

"Lord Rhine. Excessive care, thank you."

"Yui... don't Lord Rhine. I always told you to call me Gennard."

From around a few moments after starting Aynth's tutoring, Gennard liked Yui and started telling him to call himself by name.

Even though Yui herself is just as reluctant, and only rarely calls with Gennard.

It is true that Jennard had a satisfying look on his face whenever he just made such a suggestion.

Now why did Gennard behave like this to Yui?

There are several reasons for that.

Of course, liking Yui's character and talent was naturally one of the reasons, but the biggest reason was that his parents were already in the other world.

When Jenard grieves that no one in Yui's family already exists, he starts to acknowledge nature and his guardian.

As time went on, he began to take Yui around to play with Aince at work, and increasingly fitted into the circle of liking him.

When he remembers such a nostalgic past, Yui accidentally gets his eyeballs hot.

But desperately swallowing that sentiment, he managed to smile at Gennard.

"Looks as good as ever, most importantly"

"No, no, no. Aines and I are gonna be treated like old people at home."

"How is Mr. Rene, too?

He recalls the presence of Gennard's wife, whose waist is soft and clear and beautiful, and Yui asks him so.

"Oh, he's so young now. Just so we're clear, you're still beautiful. I don't mind you guys staying with us, but don't lay a hand on my wife. Ha ha."

"Sure, I have no objection to Mr. Rene being beautiful. But it's a mistake to be Aince's stepfather, to be honest."

"Ha ha, you're the same. Hmm... Isn't it Armad who's there? What, did you pee, too?

Since Jenard was only interested in Yui from the moment he entered this room until that point, he starts at that point to recognize Armad's existence.

Armad then gave a frightened look and opened his mouth to embarrassment.

"... Uncle Gennard, this is my office. Normally, it would be natural to have me."

"Hmm. Either way, I don't care about you or anything. That's bigger than that. Is that you, Cains, who wrote in Yui's letter? Looks like you took care of our Eince the other day, and I really appreciate it. Thanks."

Lightly losing interest from Armad, Gennard shifted his gaze to Cain and lowered his head with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, no, I'm not doing that big a deal. Please, keep your head up."

No matter how much I grew up in the country, I know Cains just as well as Lord Rhine's status and position.

For that reason, he became upset and suddenly began to horn at the fact that a man of such high stature would bow his head to something of lower rank like himself.

Yui sees such a sight and reaffirms that Gennard, this noble and other great nobleman, has not changed at all from the old days.

And as his feelings of relief and joy for Gennard swelled within his chest, he accidentally spilled a grin.

"Well, we still have a lot to talk about. For now, shall we go to my house first, as we shall hear it later? Ahmad, you can take the two of us now, can't you?

"... yeah, fine. Yui, I will contact your uncle's house again as soon as your plans and resignations are settled. Just relax for a while."

You're tired of Jennard acting whatever you want, Armad tells you that as he drops his shoulder.

As soon as he heard the permission, Jenard rushed Yui and the others, and they followed the Bureau Chief's office after thanking Armad.

"But I apologize for taking the time to welcome you"

"Hehe, I've known you for years. If you leave me alone, I won't be sitting at Armad's forever, so I brought you here. Now, I have a little administrative work to do, so I'm parking the carriage in the front entrance, so go ahead. Don't be on your way."

"Okay. So, Cain, shall we go first?"

That being said, when they can tell second-hand in front of the bureau, Yui and the others go straight down to the ground floor and exit the front door.

And what they saw there was a luxurious carriage that was magnificently crossed right in front of the military building.

"Captain... is that it?"

"Oh, that's it. He's so Frank, but he's powerful enough to count with one hand in this country."

Yui steps out to head for the carriage as she turns her gaze toward Cains.

Then at that time, he accidentally hit his shoulder with a man walking from the front.

"Oops, excuse me"

Without turning a blind eye to the other person, Yui utters a word of apology.

And when I tried to get to the carriage without worrying about it as it was, someone suddenly grabbed Yui's arm with a strong force.

"Don't be ridiculous! Who do you think I am?

Hearing that voice that doesn't hide her anger, Yui slowly looks back when she comes up with a troublesome look.

At the end of that gaze, a wavy, silver-haired perm man stood with his eyes lifted.

"You... are the fallen Yui Istarz. You, did you remain in the army even though you were left behind?"

"Oh, Murtina? Hey, it's been a while."

Admitting the man he looks familiar to, Yui loosens his eyes with nostalgia.

But Murtina, on the other hand, raised her eyes more and more as she recruited more frustration, staring hard at Yui.

"Muh, he said it was Murtina! I didn't know you were going to abandon me... but you still don't know who you are. Seems like he came sixth in mercy for his left transition, but this is me fifth. Crawl in there and apologize."

"Heh, I'm in fifth place now. I see you're born, Murtina."

Yui pulls the memory of former Murtina out of her brain while having a subtle, unmeshed conversation.

Murtina von Meniel.

He was a fellow student in the Department of Magic during Yui's Cadet School, and the second son of the Duke of Meniel, one of the four Grand Dukes. If I may add further, he was the president of the school year for Yui and his generation.

It is customary for chairmen of cadet schools to greet each other as grade delegates on admission and graduation, and when the sons of the four Grand Dukes are admitted, they must greet each other in a position.

As a result, it was implicitly understood that some consideration would be given to their test results.

Not all those from the four Grand Dukes, of course, need such consideration.

For example, Aynce, the eldest son of Grand Duke Rhine, has obtained the chair of the school year on his own merit without the need for such consideration.

But unfortunately, with regard to Murtina, there were three cadets who were too good for the sync.

That is why, as a consequence, it takes more than enough consideration to make him Chairman, and that would lead to ridicule and cynicism around him.

such abominable facts.

That's why Murtina continues to have a strong complex for the three of us.

"It's Master Murtina von Meniel! Correct the name and keep your head down!

"Ha, okay? I don't know anything about it. I don't care what the floor is. I have to get ready for the carriage. I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to excuse me."

When she said so and laughed nicely, Yui walked out with her heels back just saying she was done for.

But Murtina, who had received it as an attitude of lessening herself, couldn't contain her anger and suddenly caught Yui.

"Don't be ridiculous!

Yui, caught with all his strength from behind with his anger, reflexively weakens his whole body.

And as he caught and fixed Murtina's wrist, which came to grab him, he repositioned himself, twisted his body, and assembled his body as he twisted up Murtina's arm.

"Ah... sorry. Reflectively…"

Apologizing with bitter laughter and confusion for unconsciously assembling himself in reaction to the killing from behind, Yui hastily releases him.

Meanwhile, when Murtina, suddenly in the form of a kiss to the ground, aroused anger all over her body, she stood up and hung her hands on the pattern of a sword prepared for her hips.

"You... you! I won't forgive you!

With Murtina showing him how to pull out his sword, the guards, who until then were just skirmishing and getting high, rush to stop the two.

But it was the exuberant laughter that emanated from the doorway at that time that actually put them away.

"Ha, looks like Meniel's son is fine too. Military personnel must be. It's just necessary to have a sense of where this place is going."

"Who is it, my lord... this is Lord Rhine. And I'm sorry for your loss."

Murtina turns her angry spearhead for a moment against the man who laughed herself off and sought her own weight.

But grasp that the other person is Lord Rhine or no, and hold his mouth with a bad look on his face.

"Hehe, it's very nice to be healthy. And then there's the use of good health. So what the hell did you rub?

"Yes... this six-place left-handed man scorned me for being a superior, without even being ranked. So it's up to me to give you a little guidance."

Slightly lifting her eyebrows to Murtina's illustration, Gennard tilted her neck gently.

"Is Yui here? Murtina, how old are you?

"It is fifth place......"

Hearing that response, Jennard sighs, and he shakes his neck to the left and right.

"Right...... too bad about Murtina. Yui has already advanced to fourth place. Instead, you're the one who ignores the floor."

"Become! Stupid, such a cereal crush is in fourth place..."

"Hey, there's a lot going on... well it's an excessive status for me, so I think it'll be reversed soon. Bye."

Yui mouths just that and pounds Murtina's shoulder.

And as it was, he boarded the carriage in the form of leading Gennard.

With such a stare at Yui's back, Murtina was dyeing that face bright red.

But now that the rank has been revealed, he has a grudge. All he can do is stare at Yui with his eyes, and the carriage carrying Yui away from the spot to leave him.

"It really helped. He's not that bad of a guy either, but if it's me or Lute, it doesn't seem to work."

Yui bows his head to Jenard in the carriage, which begins slowly with instructions given to him.

"It's not a problem. He's a good old man too, so we need to split up the neighborhood... oh and I can't see the growth because Meniel's one was too spoiled"

Gennard breathes out of his nose hard when he speaks like a jerk

"I hear the Duke of Meniel is a wonderful persona..."

"I'll admit he's a good man personally, except as a parent. Well, it doesn't matter. Let's look forward to dinner at home."

When Gennard utters that word, he shifts that gaze outside the carriage window.

The streets of Ertbourg began to dim gradually.

On the side of the street where the book of such nights began to descend, blurry lights were beginning to light on demonic stone lamps that used demonic stones to light the lights.

Gennard's carriage with Yui and the others loosely proceeds towards Gennard's mansion, relying on the slightest remaining light of the sky and its demonic stone lamps.

By the time we passed the commercial compartment where the lodging and shops stood and headed out to the city centre, the surrounding streets rapidly transformed into aristocratic mansions.

Obviously a rallying point of sumptuous architecture.

Within that strip, a large international mansion existed ahead of their gaze.

"No way, is that the Duke's mansion? Wow!"

Of course the size of the building, but what an area including its garden is about half the size of the Carlin City Hall.

For the first time ever to see such a luxurious mansion, Cain cheered with excitement as he stuck it on the glass of his carriage.

Cain's pure reaction.

Rejoicing in it, Gennard was pleased to explain to him the creation in his own mansion, and when he realized that the carriage had arrived in front of his mansion.

Your man opens the carriage door, and a line disembarks from the carriage.

Then a beautiful lady, around the forties, who could obey an old butler, awaited them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for you."

"Hi Rene, it's been a long time. This time for a while, but it will be troublesome. And this is Cain with me."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Cain."

Yui introduces Cain, who stands next to him, and he heads to Rene with a gentle grin to offer a deep salute.

"You're Mr. Cains, hehe, I've been waiting for you. I thought you probably hadn't had dinner yet, so I prepared a meal. How about that?

"Thank you. But are you sure?

Yui confirms so reluctantly for once toward René, even as he puts his joy on his face.

"Hehe, you used to eat at home all the time. You're staying with us for a while anyway, right? Don't hesitate."

"Really? Then sweeten your words and don't hesitate."

Upon hearing Yui's reply, Rene smiles and nods one at the butler who was waiting next door.

When the butler opened the entrance door to signal it, he welcomed everyone into the mansion.
