Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 151

Chapter 151

With Rinoa and her subordinate sorcerer in tow, they returned to Lark’s Mansion .

Rinoa knocked on the door of the office .

“Mm, sorry, but I’ll need a little time…… come back ten minutes later . ”

I hear a reply from Lark .

“Sounds like he’s busy right now . ”

I call out, and I hear a noisy noise coming from inside .

Lark seems to be approaching the door as a chair rises .

At the same time as Rinoa retreats from the door, the door is opened and Lark appears .

“Rinoa and… oh, it’s you! Hmm, I knew you were joining forces!”

…… Since you’re a lord, I’d like you to be a little more poised .

Are you not worried about offending me?

If that’s the case, it’s uncomfortable, so please don’t do it .

When I looked into the office, I saw Euris standing near the door .

Perhaps the two of them were talking across the desk, when Lark started walking towards the door, so Euris was just about to follow him .

“…… Um, If there was a visitor ahead of me, we can about it later . ”

“Oh, yeah, that would be great, but… er……”

Lark turned around to look at Euris’ face like that .

…… Well, I heard that this person is also a former adventurer and now the head of the private army, and the biggest contributor who has managed to delay the crisis in the f.a.ge territory .

Don’t you have a lot of respect for Euris as well?

“I, I, um…… it wasn’t really that important, so……”

Euris looks away from Lark and drops her gaze to the floor .

“Eh…… no, but……”

“No, no, thank you for your concern……”

She said somewhat quickly and thanked us, and then quickly made her way to the exit .

When she saw us, she thanked us and left quickly .

“…… what will we talk about?”

I couldn’t decide if I should ask or not, but my curiosity got the better of me and the question came straight to my mouth .

“Oh, no … many of the members of my private army had mentioned that they wanted to leave the f.a.ge territory once…… and that was, well, to be expected . They had come to check on me to see if I was anxious about that . She told me that she would stay no matter what, and that I should be at ease . ”

Lark scratched his forefinger through his red hair and looked in the direction of where Euris had run .

I couldn’t help but look in the same direction .

There was already no sign of Euris .

…… I, I knew it was bad timing .

I knew that Lark was showing signs of concern for Euris and the meaning of Euris’ words was a bit awkward .

It’s easy to imagine that the atmosphere was difficult to break up the conversation .

Eh, I mean, are you possibly in love with each other……

“It’s not necessary for me to feel that indebted to you, though . Even though I was the one who was saved by Euris . ”

Lark says sincerely .

I didn’t sense any particular implications in the way he said it, so my hypothesis was easily destroyed .

As for Euris, at least Lark doesn’t seem to have that kind of awareness at all .

“The same is true for the lord, but it seems that Euris-san is not happy either……”

Mea, who seemed to be thinking the same thing as I was, leaked a whisper .

I gave a small nod so that Lark wouldn’t notice me .

“…… Oh, speaking of which, where’s Marias-san?”

For a servant, she seems to be leaving the mansion a lot of times .

When I first met her, she did his best to stop Lark from committing suicide and seemed to be much closer to me .

“Hm? Eh, ohhhh…… I try to let that girl take care of her out-of-the-way errands, mainly shopping . ”

He blushes and smiles bitterly to hide his embarra.s.sment .

It’s a big difference from the time of Euris’ story .

“Oh, I see……”

“…… Well, that girl lost her father because of Nalgarn . She doesn’t seem to be in a state of mind yet, so I want to give her the opportunity to visit his grave as much as possible . ”

It wasn’t the kind of story that you would spread without permission without her, Lark said, pressing down on his mouth .

He’s probably making time for Marias to stop by his father’s graveyard in between her outing errands .

…… That consideration, please show Euris-san a little more of your concern .

Discussing about it in the hallway was difficult, so we moved into the Office and finally got down to the subject we wanted to discuss .

“Actually, I was wondering if I could get a seal on the application that was previously pending . ”

When I cut it out, Lark’s face twitched in an understandable way .

Although he managed to smile, I can see a thin line of conflict in his mind .

I previously submitted thirty-eight applications to Lark, and out of those thirty-eight, I received a decision on five of them to be withheld .

You may think it’s only five out of thirty-eight cards, but there are many important parts related to magic, and it’s a bit of a hindrance when aiming for a short-term battle with Icarus .

“…………”

“I’m not saying everything . Maybe this application made you wary and afraid to give our permit . ”

I pull a sheet of paper out of the five and shows it to Lark .

“…… Ah . ”

It seems I was right, and he blurts out a few words while looking at the paper .

I take out yet another sheet of application form that could be seen as somewhat dangerous .

These three sheets………can you get your stamp right here and now? As a matter of fact, when I returned to the territory just now, I got upset and got into a dispute with Icarus, which made my position somewhat worse…… I really needed our permission as soon as possible .

“But Abel, I heard you deliberately stir him up by being pa.s.sive……”

I looked back at Mea and gave a small shake of my head, looking her in the eye .

Mea was silent as if she had figured something out .

“…… Ha~, can you let me think about it for half a day?”

“Then the opportunity to remove Icarus, a major obstacle to the reconstruction of the territory, might be postponed for perhaps six months . He would also take Nalgarn’s head with it . ”

“Ummmm… That’s right……”

Lark holds his head and places his elbows on the desk .

He takes the three applications from me and squints at the contents .

“Uhhhhmmmmm~……”

He seemed to think that rechecking the content was stalling for time and that he wanted to get some answers while he was at it .

It was expected that Lark would be troubled .

That’s why I brought Rinoa with me .

“As for those three cards, there is no problem at first . If you’re worried about the shortness of Abel-dono’s stay, then you can have my side give you the lead authority . ”

Rinoa raises her hand and says .

“Abel-dono has a far better understanding of complex magic than me, not just simple power . You can trust him . ”

“I see…… if Rinoa says so much……”

Lark reaches out to me .

Okay, the gloom has been taken away .

I hand the three application forms to Lark with a heartfelt guts pose .

“By the way, from Rinoa-san’s point of view, these two sheets are……”

I looked at her expectantly to see if I could get another covering shot .

She shakes her head silently .

“What does this say about? I don’t know if it’s a good idea to write it in an awfully good way, but……”

Rinoa’s subordinate sorcerer peers at my application and tilts his head .

“If you make a mistake, the Royal Knights will come to burn the entire territory down for violating the commandments . ”

The moment Rinoa said that, all the eyes in the office pierced me .

Lark didn’t seem to understand that it was that bad, either, so he stopped his hand that was holding the seal and his face went pale .

You-, you can trust me a bit more……
