Chapter 147 ? The Hunting Tournament 1
Finally, the day of the hunting tournament arrived.
Since we’re scheduled to meet on-site at Mt. Belman, I’ve fully prepared myself and am now traveling in a carriage alongside Julius.
“Wow, the weather is great! It’s an ideal day for hunting, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it looks like there won’t be any problems.”
The sky outside the window is a clear blue, with not a single cloud in sight. I feel reassured, thinking it should be comfortable even in the snowy mountains.
“I’m really excited! I got up early and packed us lunch, too.”
“Thanks. I’m excited about it as well.”
To be honest, I made some lunch boxes so we could all have a meal together outside.
The plan was to finish the hunt around noon, and then spend the afternoon relaxing and enjoying a picnic.
I have confidence in the lunchbox I made with the head chef’s help. However, I was a little nervous about whether it would suit the palate of Mylene-sama and Arnold-san, who are both high-ranking nobles.
Speaking of nervousness, Julius was once again sitting next to me. When I stared at him, he seemed to notice my gaze and tilted his head slightly.
“Why are you staring so much? Is something wrong?”
“I just thought you looked incredibly handsome today.”
Dressed in hunting attire and with a luxurious fur coat draped over his shoulders, he looks like royalty.
On top of that, he’s wearing a wide-brimmed black hat today, making him look incredibly stylish from any angle.
“Thank you. You look great and cute in your outfit too, Rene.”
“Hehe, Mylene-sama gave it to me.”
By the way, I was also wearing a cute fur-lined beret-like hat and a hunting outfit, all of which were gifts from Mylene-sama. I was so thrilled to be dressed so fashionably.
The other three are bound to look stunning as well, and it looks like it could be a little fashion show.
“The dinner party two days ago was fun too. It was hilarious to see Arnold-san being calmly reprimanded by Yoshida.”
“Those two make a good pair since they’re polar opposites.”
Yes, we had a delightful time at the dinner party with the five of us the other day.
With this group, today will be the best day ever. I was sure of that.
The carriage eventually stopped, and as I got out with TKG on my back, I looked up at the towering Mt. Belman.
It was higher and larger than I had imagined, and its beautiful white appearance made me exclaim in awe, “Wow…”
Guided by Julius, we ascended the mountain and arrived at a gently sloping area filled with a large number of people.
The men dressed in hunting outfits and the elegantly dressed women added such brightness that it was hard to believe we were in a snowy winter mountain. The festive, lively atmosphere made my heart leap with excitement.
“Amazing, it’s completely warm even though we’re out in the open.”
“Yeah. If it weren’t for this, I definitely wouldn’t have participated.”
As expected, the ultra-high-quality clothing enchanted with Mylene-sama’s magic was impressive. Even though I’m wearing a coat on top, it feels like I wouldn’t have any problems even without it.
I walked through the crowd with Julius, who was heading to greet Duke Searsmith, the event’s host.
“Oh my, it’s Julius-sama! He’s just as magnificent as ever today.”
“We haven’t seen him much at social events lately, have we?”
Sure enough, Julius was drawing attention, and I overheard young noble ladies of a similar age talking as we passed by. There were many faces I hadn’t seen before, and it appeared he had quite a fan base outside the academy as well.
In this world, social debut happens at the age of 16, and with my birthday coming up next month, I’ll be having my debutante next year.
Since I’ll be with Jenny, there will likely be many comparisons. Thinking about how I need to properly learn etiquette and dancing, next year seems like it’s going to be busy too.
“So, who is accompanying you today?”
“I don’t recognize that face. You seem quite familiar with each other.”
Julius seemed unfazed by the attention and rumors, as if he was used to it. I walked along without concern until I suddenly spotted a familiar navy blue among the crowd.
“Ah, Yoshida! Good morning!”
“You’ve arrived.”
Yoshida, wearing what looked more like knight’s armor than hunting clothes, was quite the handsome man. At his waist was a sword.
“Huh… Is that Excellent Night—oh wait, since it’s morning now, is it supposed to be Morning Sword?”
“It’s not ‘night,’ but ‘knight.’“
“So cool! It looks great on you, Yoshida!”
As we were talking, a deep voice commented, “Oh, it’s you.” I quickly looked up and saw Yoshida’s father, who I hadn’t seen since summer vacation.
The other day, he was wearing his own clothes because he was on a secret trip, but today, he’s wearing the knight’s uniform, so the atmosphere is completely different.
As the Commander of the Knights, his uniform was extravagant and different from the people around him, and he exuded incredible dignity and aura.
“Good morning, I’ll be borrowing Maximillian-kun today!”
“Ah, good morning. Please take good care of my son.”
“Yes! I will cherish him forever.”
“Not to that extent, but I appreciate it.”
However, his demeanor and tone were as gentle and calm as ever, and he had such a pleasant personality that it made me smile.
“How is Maximilian doing at the academy?”
“He’s very reliable and kind, and everyone likes him. Of course, I like him a lot too!”
“……You really are a shameless person.”
When I expressed my honest feelings, Yoshida averted his gaze, perhaps embarrassed, and pushed up his glasses.
“The other day, when I was feeling sad, he noticed right away and took me away like a prince to cheer me up!”
“No need to tell unnecessary stories. And stop exaggerating.”
Yoshida’s father listened with a pleased expression, nodding along, but then suddenly recalled something and spoke up.
“I see, so the reason you seemed down after returning from the academy was because something sad had happened with this person.”
“Eh…? Y-Yoshida…”
