I realized it was surprisingly warm in the morning.

It’s just that there are conditions for that, too, and the sun isn’t hiding in the clouds.

With the sunshine, I can feel some warmth.

When you open the window, a cold breeze blows in, causing the facial expression muscles to contract.

As long as it’s been hitting me for a little while, but I don’t want to do that because it’s going to get frostbite if I keep going.

‘Mm-hmm,’ he stretched out and stretched.

It doesn’t feel common for everyone to feel comfortable with this first move in the morning.

“Come on, I wonder if Krone’s awake”

Across the living space, I was resting in a different bedroom from her.

From the inn side, a room with multiple bedrooms means the same room is treated.

But it’s not the same bedroom, so I wasn’t exactly nervous.

Weave a cardigan and go outside.

I know it would be nice to get dressed and then get out, but I really wanted to enjoy this careless feeling.

A space different from the bedroom I usually spend.

That is a new stimulus, and I want to respect every emotion of it.

Then I opened the bedroom door and opened my eyes to the living room.

“Oh, good morning, Ain…. I think it’s cute, but I can’t really let my men see it.”

“Oh my… you’re early, Krone”

“Really? Ain’t too early, so it’s something similar. Glad you slept more.”

Ain’t got some embarrassment when she says it’s 6: 00, but she’s already seen her well dressed.

“Kee, I’m going to get dressed…”

“Are you getting dressed? I wouldn’t mind, would I?

“That’s a matter of my feelings… I’ll see you later”

Ain’t totally awake now. Go back to your bedroom and start dressing.

A change of clothes I prepared last night has been placed by my bedside. Restore your mind and take it, exhale and then start dressing from your torso.

“Come on, let’s do our best today”

There is still time for the Count to come and say hello.

Until then, enjoy breakfast or chat with Krone.

Afterwards, Ain, dressed, returned to Krone and enjoyed the warm tea she prepared.

“A fait accompli, is it?

“It would be something similar”

When Ain and Krone were having breakfast together, the headquarters of the Augusto Chamber of Commerce in Wangdu.

There Graf and Alfred enjoy the conversation while having breakfast as well.

Augusto Chamber of Commerce, which has now grown into a major chamber of commerce.

If you’re also its chairman, it’s only natural that you don’t have much time off.

Alfred, as Graff’s assistant, is equally encouraging to work.

But fortunately, I guess that means we’re both enjoying this busy life.

“From a third party, it just seems like we’re sleeping in the same room. If that’s the case, the troublemakers will get away with it.”

“Sure if you ask me. But there have been rumors for a long time, and some of them have been eager.”

“I don’t remember the first three digits.”

As Krone was going to school, that was already followed by a troublesome amount of suits.

I know exactly what’s in her mind, even if I tell her that, all I’m saying is, ‘Properly say no’.

“But I doubt it. Then why won’t Warren and the others soon be engaged?”

“Maybe it’s national. I also hear that His Majesty Silvado engaged Lady Laralua when she turned 22. I don’t think I’ve crossed it early, but maybe it’s another common sense here.”

Royalty stuff would be better if you just made a child of me.

It would be even safer for me to marry a few more wives.

Even so, Silvard was only one wife, and it was too late to get engaged.

“There are also delicate issues. You can’t ask too much from me, but that’s going to be rude.”

“Right…… By the way, boy.”

“What?

I guess we both remember where we used to be young these days.

As in the past these days, where there are no people, Alfred calls you Boy.

“If the lady were to get engaged, the opposite, etc…”

“There can’t be. What did Krone aspire to Ishtarika for? If you think about it, you can’t even stop it, and I can leave it to you, Your Highness. I think so.”

As a single, defeated sea dragon, he became the head of the school, arguably the highest school in Ishtarika. Furthermore, the position of Prince Wang.

Man enough to make you wonder where the flaws were, that was Ain.

“Nevertheless, Your Highness will not have a hand in joining Krone and Inn”

“Wow. Why would you think that?

Graff confidently told him so.

What gives him so much confidence, Alfred to visit it.

“I don’t think I have the guts to do that yet…”

“… I’ll leave you with what I didn’t ask”

Alfred decided not to ask about it for a bad reason.

Ein, on the other hand, finishing his meal and enjoying his relaxing time.

If you took May, I’m sure she would have gladly encouraged snow play.

Looking at the snowy streets reminds me of Mae, the angel in the cafeteria.

We have to find out if the knights were Lolicon when we get home.

When I was thinking about that blurry, I was called out by Dill, the exclusive escort.

“Dear Ein. Did you sleep well last night?

“It’s okay. It was warm in the room and the bed was nice”

“That’s more than anything.”

Sometimes the time for the Count to come was approaching, and two Lloyds and Dill came to Ain’s room.

Now the four of us sit on the couch and wait slowly for that time.

“Speaking of which, what’s the Count’s name? I totally forgot.”

“Ah… sorry, I forgot to explain it to you too. His name is Count Riselle Bart.”

“You’re similar in name to the instructor. It’s easy to remember and helpful.”

The family name, like the territory, bears the Baltic.

If you listen to Kaisel and Risel, you realize they’re really brothers.

It’s ridiculous to ask about the family situation, but if you get a chance to ask, ask about the instructor.

“Then the way you call it is Count Baltic.”

“Right…. Speaking of which, Count Baltic seems to be wearing a sword too. Maybe he’s a Baltic lord too.”

“True, it’s a lord-like hobby here. Do you know what Mr. Lloyd is like?

“Several times in the past. We had a chance to have a conversation at a party at the castle.”

I heard good things about that.

I definitely want to hear what he was like.

“What kind of person?

“I’m a pleasant man. He has a warm personality that weighs heavily on humans. As Lord Krone once again said, you are a rare nobleman who can handle swords at a high level.”

“Heh… that doesn’t sound like a tough thing to talk about.”

“Don’t worry about that area. When it comes to sword strength, by the way, five minutes for Dill before he goes to Euro. I think it’s six minutes now.”

These days Dill is a powerful man with no enemies among the Kingsguard knights. When it comes to its dill and near strength, Ein is also strongly interested.

“On second thought, neither Mr. Lloyd nor Dill. We’re both fine aristocrats at the Duke’s house.”

“Ha ha! What can I get you, Master Ain? Hey Dill!”

“Yeah, right, Father. Whatever you do, we are a shield to the royal sword. So Dear Ein, I would rather you treat me as a single knight than a nobleman.”

“I see… You can count on me.”

It is with pride that the Greyshire family has weighed in for generations. Never the character of home.

That pride is the thought that has given birth to Kingsguard knights for generations and has been credited as a heavy town among them.

For this reason, rather than nobility, everyone has been raised as one of the knights.

Even Lloyd, the former marshal, has been raised by his father to be a fine knight.

Talking about it, the door gets knocked from the outside.

“You must have arrived. Dill, pick me up.”

“I understand. Then, Master Ain, I beg your pardon.”

If you talk about nobility, it’s not a good idea for Dill to go out.

Anyway, he’s a Duke too, so he’s in a better position than the Count.

But now Dill is Ain’s escort.

Besides, I think differently, so I can’t complain about going out for the understated Count.

It was understandable in Lloyd’s words that Count Baltic had no troublesome character.

I can trust his person reviews, which is why he’s probably the right person.

Ein changes the mood he was slowing down and keeps waiting for Count Baltic to come to his room.

“First of all, I would like to apologize deeply for making a sudden offer.”

Count Baltic, who has been guided by Dill.

As Lloyd explained, he gives us a pleasant move for a long time.

But he apologized for this sudden appointment.

“I’ll see you first, Your Highness. I’m Riselle Bart. Your Majesty has entrusted this Baltic land with the status of Count.”

Count Baltic entered the room in a crisp motion and bowed his head to 90 degrees.

The romance grey hair is beautifully stiffened and the grey beard is masculine as well.

That posture, with its spine pinned, gave the impression of being a sophisticated military man.

“Nice to meet you, Count Baltic. I’m sorry to bother you, I’m glad to see you with the famous Baltic lord.”

Mouth your belly, but of course I didn’t know about Count Baltic.

I predicted Baltic’s lord would be competent, but it was via Krone that I heard about him, and even more about yesterday.

But face-to-face with him, I can understand what Krone and Lloyd have explained.

“Have a seat. I want to talk to you slowly.”

“Ha! Now if you’ll excuse me.”

Thus Baltic sits down to the front of Ain.

Dill goes behind the couch where Ain and Krone sit and stands there alongside Lloyd.

“I’m glad you even came to Baltic this time”

His face, which he speaks of so, somehow resembles that of Kaisel.

The nose muscle and the eye area have similar impressions to Kaisel.

“It’s a combination of investigation. But Baltic is a good town, and I like the atmosphere.”

This is true, by the way.

From Ain’s point of view, the city like Baltic is full of favorite parts, not to mention everything.

Earl Baltic, who heard that, beware, thanked Ain.

“That’s good. It’s a town with lots of rough people, but I appreciate you saying so.”

“I would like to have fun with a blacksmith or something before I go home. I hear there are a lot of good blacksmiths.”

“Let’s see. Anyway, it’s a treasure trove of demons and mineral resources. So the more it’s called a blacksmith’s sanctuary, the more blacksmiths are packing it.”

The way Count Baltic sits, he has a beautiful attitude that even those who watch him fall in love with.

If you look at it, you can understand why Lloyd is such a nice guy.

“I’m looking forward to it. If you have a recommended blacksmith, let me know later.”

“Then let’s prepare a letter of introduction to the blacksmith. I thought I’d be in the store as soon as I had it.”

I can honestly thank you for the offer, Ain’t got his face down too.

But the word “reference” reminded me of one thing.

“Speaking of which, Count Baltic. I heard of the Count’s brother, instructor Kaisel, but I remember receiving one reference from him as well”

What I was receiving from Kaisel was a letter of introduction to the Alliance. Kaisel, who was quite famous for everything, was the reason I was told and received that the references would be useful.

“That man gave you a letter of introduction…? What a rarity, but with Kaisel’s letter of introduction, His Highness’s investigation will be completed.”

“Hmm? Unusual…?

“Yeah, on the rare note, I’ve never heard Kaisel write a reference. Anyway, he’s as bigoted as he looks.”

Doesn’t the Earl, who smiles and talks about Kaisel, look like he had some fun and wasn’t close to his family? and make Ain predict.

“I haven’t heard from you lately, but if you’re doing well, it’s more than that.”

“… I hear something unexpected, but how did the instructor leave the Count’s house…?

“Oh was that it?… Simply put, it’s for a dream. Both Kaisel and I were born in this Baltic. So I had more praise for the adventurer than I did at a young age, entering and leaving the guild. Of course I didn’t take the request, I enjoyed the atmosphere.”

The look on his face as he begins to speak is as gentle as he is nostalgic for the past.

“Sometimes I’m the eldest son, and from my parents, I think he was a good listener. But Kaisel asked for freedom. The rest is a simple story. I left the Baltic family forcefully, that’s all. There’s nothing personal about me.”

“… I was wondering if there was a bigger problem”

“We apologize for your concern. But I’m sure… Kaisel just got the wrong house to be born in. I had a dream for him, and I wanted to make it happen. That’s all.”

Next time I’ll ask you for a tickle at school.

I’m not going to look forward to hearing from you.

To the extent that I was not angry, I decided to make him roll around with exquisite lines.

“Whoa, that’s a waste of time. I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

“No, never mind. It was quite an interesting story, even for me.”

Because there was something I could talk about.

This alone could be said to have been worth this encounter.

“… Sometimes His Royal Highness thinks he plans to head to the former demon kingdom”

As far as this is concerned, the wrapped air of the Count changes.

It is clear everywhere and transforms into something that calmly looks at Ain.

“… ah. I will investigate the former demon kingdom.”

Anyway, that’s the main purpose of this one.

There are also traces of red foxes and other things there, which are likely to happen.

The Earl stares into Ain’s eyes.

“I see… you seem serious”

Phew, exhale, and so he shrugged. I was looking Ain in the eye to see how serious he was.

“You can’t stop if you seem serious…. Well, in the first place, I can’t stop it.”

“Ha. Sounds like you cared.”

“Terrible. It’s the end of old age…. Well, actually, that’s what I came to this time. It’s natural to say hello, but one way or the other, that’s the point.”

That said, he took a piece of parchment out of the bag in his hand.

“I’ll give you this one”

“… What’s this?

“This is the way to get to the old demon king’s realm, in this time of year. The snow hasn’t gotten deeper yet, so I was wondering if it would be a good time to start early.”

What he gave away was a passage to the former demon king’s realm.

It was one of the things Ein and the others wanted.

“Let the guild guide you as well. But I was wondering if you could read it in advance and make some plans.”

“This is good… it will help, Count! Thank you!”

“I’m more than happy for you…. By the way, I was wondering if this time of year’s itinerary would take a couple of hours on foot.”

“… Huh?

Ain’t surprised enough to say back to the primitive.

On this tough road? Walk nearly three hours?

“It takes a lot longer than when the snow is severe and there is no snow. So I was wondering if that was necessary…”

I mean, we leave in the morning, we arrive before noon.

And when you do the investigation, you are likely not to be able to go home within that day.

“… Lloyd. I want your opinion.”

“Ha! What is your opinion?”

“You can’t take a day trip, can you?

“… I thought I should be prepared for a few days of camping”

‘Right,’ I convince you in my heart.

Walking all that time and going out of your way for a day trip sucks efficiency.

It would be more realistic to camp in silence.

“Okay. Thanks, Lloyd.”

And Lloyd, shut up and bow his head.

Now, what should we do with the plan… Think about it, but it’s not up to you right away.

This survey ensures about a month of days.

But what’s the best thing about a few marches?

It is also dangerous to think further.

The old demon kingdom probably remains in hidden danger. If you think about it, you can’t even turn lightly, the weak ones…… maybe you shouldn’t take them for a supply, for example.

Think of it that way, one first.

There was something in Ain’s head that was definitive.

“(Yeah. Krone’s leaving a message)”

She would disagree, but I disagree with taking her as Ein as well.

You can’t take her to such a dangerous area for days.

“(What a persuasion the problem is…)”

Chilla looks at her next door.

You’re already thinking about what you’re going to do, staring at the parchment handed to you by the Count.

Because of this, Ein’s gaze is not noticed, and he is silently focused.

“Now what is it…”

As much as it leaks out of his mouth, it has become a source of concern for Ain.

“Yep… that’s true. How do we plan…”

Right. How do we plan to convince them?

… the two of us think a little differently, but what we do is very similar.

“Let’s make a good plan later. Let’s start with that.”

As it stands, I just can’t decide what to do.

Let’s hear Count Baltic first and figure out what we’re going to do next.
