The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

48 – Manor Affairs – 3

Lucy’s proposal was not particularly problematic, so her opinion was eventually accepted.

“Then, please take good care of me for the time being.”

“I’ll tell you. It’s an honor for me to be able to move with Cheonyoung-nim.”

To glory. Seeing Lucy smiling brightly made me feel warm for no reason.

“…Well. Now that it’s like this, Cheonyeong. I’ll take care of Lucy.”

“I wonder if I should ask better. By the way, do you have a monster subjugation mission?”

She asked as she read the report on the current status of the estate, and Lucy sat next to me. She and she pointed to one side of the report.

“You can look here.”

“Ah. Thank you.”

Is it because they are so close? Her nice scent tickled her nose. I love the soft feel of her arm.

“But maybe you’re too attached…”

“Oops. I’m sorry. You’re in a bad mood…?”

As I pointed out, there was a gloom on Lucy’s expression. I didn’t do anything wrong, but I feel very wrong.

“No, that’s fine.”

“I’m glad… I thought you didn’t like it. Whoops. Then I’ll teach you more.”

She clenched her fists and smiled brightly, then joined me again. So what? The feel of her chest on her arm was getting stronger.

Um. Is this really good?

“…If you need clarification in detail, come see me after the meeting.”

Cecile spoke in a low voice then. Well, it’s a bit like sticking around like this in the middle of a meeting. I looked at Lucy and she smiled and pulled away slightly.

“I’ll teach you in detail later.”

“Thank you.”

When she left and went back to her seat, her Cecil cleared her throat and continued her work distribution.

The monster I need to catch is a sword bear that appears in the plains to the west of the territory.

As a bear-like monster with blades on both hands, it is treated as a superior, and it was one of the monsters that had to be dealt with immediately when it appeared to be a warlike monster.

“Perhaps because spring is nearing, monsters that hibernate during the winter are showing up. Cheonyeong. You must have a lot of work to do.”

“Okay.”

“And there might be work related to the Black Alchemist. Let’s go back to the academy after the work in the estate is over.”

I just thought things related to the Black Alchemist would be possible here.

I asked in a puzzled way, and I seriously asked Cecil if Lucy was curious too.

“Isn’t it necessary for Chunyoung to go? It seems like there are a lot of things to do here.”

Lucy and Cecil’s opinions were at odds again. Elan, who looked at them alternately, clapped lightly and stood up.

“Come on. The atmosphere of the meeting has heated up a bit. Let’s end by asking him where Cheonyoung is.”

Good judgment. Except I have to make the decision. I looked at Elan and she grinned and gave her thumbs up.

I want to hit you.

“Hmm… I think it would be better for me to stay in the manor for the time being. The attacks of the black alchemists are also attacks, but there are many things in the manor.”

“…The academy has a lot of work to do…”

“There is also a crystal ball. I think it would be better to use the method of teleporting back and forth.”

“As I said, teleport isn’t that easy…”

“If it’s a material, you can get it here, right? If it’s Cheonyoung’s skill, I think it’ll be okay to go into the monster’s forest, right?”

Ah. Are you looking for ingredients in the monster’s forest? It’s easier that way. If I’m going in alone, there’s no problem.

“And you still have to catch Shadow Fang anyway. That’s great.”

“…Haa. Alright. Then let’s do that. Instead, don’t forget that you will have to work as a temporary instructor at the academy when school starts.”

“Okay.”

That’s how the meeting was organized. Unlike my work, Elan and Atram’s work was quickly organized, and when I began to deal with the estate in earnest, I got up from my seat.

“Cheonyeong. Where are you going?”

“I’m going to catch the sword bear first because I was told to remove the horns. Oh, and the lord. If you write down what materials you need to teleport…”

“I know.”

“Oh, is that so?”

It’s not particularly strange. Until now, Cecil must have gotten help from Yeongji to get the materials needed for teleportation.

There’s no way Lucy, who manages the territory in an integrated way, doesn’t know about it.

“Okay! Let’s go then!”

Lucy took my arm with a smile and led me. Maybe it’s because I crossed my arms a little? Again, his chest touched.

“It’s reaching there.”

“Oops. I’m sorry. You didn’t like it…?”

I became sullen again. My shoulders droop and my voice loses power. Seeing that, the guilt is no joke.

No, did I do something wrong?

At that time, I felt a stinging gaze on the back of my head. I turned around to see Cecile staring at me.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“…No. Do a good job.”

It seems that the bluntness has increased twice as much as before.

I looked at Elan, hoping that something bad would happen, but she just tilted her head, asking why she was staring at me.

As soon as I came out of the meeting room, I packed my things. The place where the sword bear was found is two days away from here. Lucy came into my room while I was simply preparing something to eat, since it was a distance that I could come and go in about two hours if I used light air.

“Are the preparations going well?”

“There’s no such thing as preparation… But what is it?”

“Ah. This.”

In her hand was a small basket. With a soft smile, Lucy held it out to me.

“Oh… Is that a bento?”

“I made a simple sandwich. I thought you would only eat beef jerky…”

I was still packing beef jerky. I looked at the bag of jerky and the basket of sandwiches, then tossed the bag of jerky on the desk.

I have a sandwich, but I don’t think I need to pack beef jerky.

“That’s a lot.”

“I want you to eat a lot and work hard. Eh. If it’s too much, you can eat it in moderation and throw it away.”

“Ugh. I can’t throw it away because it’s such a waste.”

“Uhuhu. Is that so? I made it hard while thinking of Chunyoung, so I hope you enjoy it.”

“Huh? Did Lady Lucy make it herself?”

My question made Lucy’s face light up slightly. And she gently nodded her head. And. I think this is very well made. Are you good at cooking?

“Isn’t that something a noble would do? I like things like this…”

“No. No. I’m just grateful. Hey. To eat a sandwich that Lady Lucy made by herself. There’s no such thing as an honor. hahahahaha!”

“Oh dear! You’re flattering!”

A smile appeared on Lucy’s face as if she was not in a bad mood even though she said so.

That’s good. Because you look good

“Did anything else happen while I was away?”

“If it’s anything else…”

“There are letters that come constantly.”

“Ah… Yes! It’s reduced a lot! No, they’re not coming these days!”

The letters I do not know whether to call Lucy courtship or ridicule.

They say those letters don’t come anymore. I’m so glad that Every time I read that letter, Lucy’s expression became quite depressed.

It seems that what happened in the Earl of Estal helped.

“I guess it’s because there are great knights.”

“Thank God. If there is anyone who sends such a letter, please let me know. I will come back later and make a fuss.”

It was said that until now, he was easygoing and harassed Lucy, but that is no longer possible.

She smiled even broader, as if she was happy with my words.

“It’s like Cheonyoung is my driver…”

“hahahaha. Shall I swear a knight’s oath?”

“Please!!”

I’m surprised.

Surprised by her Lucy’s loud voice, I looked at her and her eyes widened as if she was also surprised by her own voice.

“…I’m sorry. I was too excited, right? I think I’m trying to rely on Cheonyoung’s consideration again…”

“hahahaha. You can lean on it. I will keep the knight’s oath anyway. So don’t worry too much… Oh. Also, there may be an attack from the Black Alchemists, so you’d better be careful. Outside the territory Reduce the work you do… And go with Elan or Atram when you go out.”

“Okay. That… Will Cheonyeong be with you after the monster subjugation is over?”

“Ha ha. Of course. But I don’t know if I can be of any help to the job.”

I’m confident when it comes to working hard, but I’m a bit at a loss for other things.

But Lucy didn’t care too much, it was just bright.

“Then I’ll be back.”

“May I see you off?”

I don’t know if it’s necessary, but if I say no, I’m afraid I’ll become sullen again, so I just nod my head.

That was when I left her room with her and arrived in front of her mansion. Elan and Atram ran into Cecil, who was walking out while talking about something.

“I’m going… What’s that in your hand?”

“Lady Lucy made the sandwiches. hahahaha. Thanks to you, you won’t be hungry.”

“… Lucy?”

Cecile looked at Lucy standing next to me with thin eyes for a while, then smiled.

“I didn’t know you could cook.”

“Yes. I studied hard.”

“Make me mine later.”

“Whoops. Okay.”

Um. A picture of good sisters.

I nodded as I watched them both smile broadly at each other.

As expected, peace is the best.
