The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 28.2
Now that the conversation was over, Margrave Norland’s family were invited by Suou to move to another location.
Since Ruri invites us to sit on the lake, I thought Suou would too, but apparently there is a space in the middle of the cliff.
I wonder if that is the entrance to where Suou lives.
Since everyone knew Margrave Norland’s family was being invited, the rest of us began to explore the nearby area as we pleased, releasing magic to search for spirits.
“I must inform Her Majesty about this matter.”
Father is about to have a meeting with the people at the Ministry of Spirits.
“Big brother, If there’s a civil war happening in Stark, wouldn’t it affect our trade ?”
“It is indeed. There’s been an increase in exports of goods. There’s also talk of asking Dia to explain about spirits.”
“Who did you hear that from?”
“That’s the second time you’ve asked that question.”
I turned my attention to the man next to Gemma who was escorting me a little further away from us.
He has a medium build and a plain face, but his eyes are sharp. His hair color is blonde, almost silver, which is common in our territory. He noticed my gaze and tilted his head in surprise, so I smiled and turned my gaze toward the lake. Most Big Brother Alan’s butlers are like that type.
“Big Brother, don’t you think you’re better suited for intelligence-related work rather than the Royal Guards?”
“That’s why I’m in the Royal Guard. It’s easier to gather information from the center.”
“Huh ?”
“Because I’m helping big brother with his work.”
Huh? So, you joined the Royal Guard not to protect the royal family and the country, but rather to gather information undercover? Is it for Velisario?
Is this the downside of a multi-ethnic country?
Both Father and my brothers primarily prioritize the prosperity of our territory. They maintain good relations with the royal family, and seem to dismiss the possibility of civil war, but maybe that’s because they don’t want our territory to be destroyed.
Come to think of it, Jude-sama hasn’t become a close aide to Prince Eldred, has he?
He’s always been in his own territory. I’m sure the nobles, dukes, and marquesses around the royal capital are different.
I’m still amazed at my family’s way of thinking after all this time. No wonder they never asked me if I wanted to marry the prince. It’s not like I would be persuaded if they asked for it.
Lately, even Mother has been saying things like, ‘You can get married anytime since you’re always busy with Fairy Trading Company work.’. That’s why Her Majesty and Prince Andrew are getting anxious.
“No, I had a love marriage myself, so I want my children to have all kinds of encounters at the school.”
Just as I was deep in thought, I heard my father’s voice, which hid his displeasure. Apparently, before I knew it, he was surrounded by people who wanted to be introduced to me and Big Brother Alan. Was it difficult for you to talk to us directly after seeing how friendly we were with Suou ?
“However, as the Minister of the Ministry of Spirits, and given that my children are close to the Spirit King, status is important, but I think it will be difficult to arrange marriage if the partner doesn’t possess a spirit beast of all attributes when they graduate from the academy.”
Hey, now the obstacle for my happy marriage just skyrocketed like a pole vault.
“Big Brother Alan, I’m feeling like I’m going to be single for the rest of my life”
“There are about three people in every grade, and we have three people in our knight order as well.”
How many people do you think there are in our knight order?
“The conditions are the same for you, big brother.”
“I’m the second son, so as long as the age matches, it’s fine for me. But for Dia, I think he needs to be the eldest son of at least a count or higher, with assets and territory, right?”
“I don’t think so ?”
I can’t give up. I can’t… I want to cry.
We will return to the area near the carriage in the evening and stay there for the night. The spirit beasts are taking turns setting up a barrier, and there’s also a magical tool barrier just in case, so we can rest assured.
Chairs resembling park benches were provided, cushions were placed, and the nobles are sitting there, elegantly enjoying their outdoor stay.
I wouldn’t mind sitting on the ground, but I was told not to, so I’m sitting like a lady on the cushion between my father and big brother.
A large bonfire was lit in the center of the gathering, and fire spirit beasts were happily flying around it. The atmosphere of the place may have something to do with it, but it was quite delicious to eat the meat of the prepared monsters with spices on the grill.
With this setup, we could probably organize a tour. If there’s a dragon, Suou can protect us, so even kids could participate, right?
It seems like a typical Norland adventure—traveling to the Spirit King’s realm as a trial when you turn ten!
“Hmm? What’s that sound?”
Even when everyone is having fun and making noise, there are times when we suddenly stop talking and become quiet. At that moment, I heard a faint tapping sound from far away and couldn’t help but take a look.
The magic barrier tool is also used as an insect repellent. There was a mosquito the size of an adult’s fist, buzzing its wings and bumping into the barrier repeatedly. Not just one. They were there like insects swarming around a sidewalk light at night.
“B-big brother…that…”
“Hmm ? Ah, one-horned mosquito!”
“Huh ?”
“Aaah, I have to catch it!”
As soon as Brother shouted, an adventurer who had been drinking suddenly put up a barrier around himself and jumped out. I was told that it’s called one horn because their blood-sucking tube looks like a horn, but who cares about that right now!
They are so big that you can even see the stripes on their legs, and it’s so gross.
“What’s going on?”
“That magical beast’s bodily fluids are used as raw materials for medicine.”
Father told me with a smile, but my eyes were glued to the barrier in a different direction than before.
“T-that…”
This time there’s a moth bigger than my head, scattering scales as it hits the barrier.
“Oh, it’s a powder moth.” [1]
“Let’s catch them alive. They’ll sell for a high price.”
Catch it alive… the white…
“In Norland, they also cultivate medicinal herbs and farm magical beasts. If they keep hunting them down, they’ll eventually go extinct.”
“That’s wonderful, isn’t it?”
You should praise me for being able to reply with a smile. I can’t believe there’s a magical beast that looks like such a huge insect.
“Would you like to see how cosmetics are made from these moths?”
Stop it. Impossible. Noland is truly remarkable.
1. They use ????(oshiroi) that mean powder for face in Japanese.?
