Episode 80
Chapter 3
A high-class restaurant in Ascension. The name is Mistiltein.
In this case, it was a restaurant established by a veteran chef who had studied cooking for decades while traveling around the Tulcan Empire and neighboring countries, and had worked in the palace for a whopping ten years.
The main dishes are sausage and noodles, which may seem like an odd combination, but when you actually taste them, they go together really well.
As it is a place known as a famous restaurant in Ascendible, there is no doubt about its skills.
But right now, there were no other guests in the restaurant besides my group.
That makes sense, because I rented the whole place.
Exactly 2 hours.
The money paid to rent this entire shop for exactly two hours was about 2,000 gold.
After earning tens of millions of gold in a day, a couple thousand gold doesn’t seem like much.
‘Is this the symbol of the nouveau riche?’
He started eating with a big smile.
Oh, but why is it like this?
Even while eating, the smile on his lips never disappears.
“Boss, is there anything fun going on?”
I turn my head and see Charlotte with a look of utter curiosity on her face.
“Yeah. The money just rolled in.”
“Ah… … congratulations.”
I didn’t intend to talk at length.
Not to underestimate Charlotte, but perhaps it was unnecessary to tell the kids about it.
These are all just adult things.
Adults’ affairs should be kept secret among adults only.
He asked, patting Charlotte’s head gently.
“I was a bit busy yesterday, so I couldn’t pay attention to you. I’m sorry. How was the academy? Was it worth attending?”
Charlotte said as if she had been waiting.
“Hehe, yes, it was fun. We had a duel yesterday. I beat five people. The swordsmanship professor was surprised and said I was a genius… … I absolutely had to learn swordsmanship… … .”
etc.
It seems like our Charlotte is showing off her talents to the fullest.
“It must have been really fun.”
“Hehe. By the way. What is a parachute?”
“huh?”
“The professor who was in charge of my Mana training kept calling me a parachute.”
The academy’s education is somewhat specialized.
First of all, there are the Department of Swordsmanship, the Department of Magic, the Department of Public Administration, and the Department of Military Science.

There are a total of four faculties, each with its own curriculum and even instructors who teach arts and physical education as hobbies.
There are literally countless of them.
however.
“You didn’t call me by my name, you called me a parachute?”
“Yes. After class, I asked him what a parachute was, and he just got angry… … .”
In the past, there was a popular tactic of using flying magic to lift soldiers into the sky and then throw them into the middle of enemy lines.
The thing that was created at that time was the parachute, but it disappeared from history about five years after it was created.
It was absolutely useless.
Since then, the word parachute has become a slang term for something useless.
therefore.
Some guy with anger management disorder called Charlotte useless at the Academy.
And it’s not the students, it’s the instructors.
You son of a bitch.
How dare you do this to our Charlotte.
“What is that instructor’s name?”
“I think I introduced myself as Leonhard.”
okay.
Leonhard.
I wrote it down in my head.
“Other than that, wasn’t it difficult or anything?”
“Yes. I made a new friend. But, I, I heard a strange rumor.”
“rumor?”
“Yes, that… … is a rumor about the boss.”
There’s a rumor about me.
I can guess.
But I pretended not to know and asked back.
“What is that rumor?”
“That, that… that retarded… that stupid… that stupid… .”
In that moment, everyone’s dishes stopped in midair.
Thanos was eating ravenously as if he was hungry, and Cell was eating various dishes as if it was the first time he had ever tried them.
And Aveiro, who was sitting next to me and just absorbing the food as if expressing with his whole body, ‘I’ve been starving since yesterday,’ was choking as if he had spit.
Just when I was about to burst out laughing.

[Foot.]
The teacher sitting on my shoulder burst into laughter before I did.
and.
“I’m sorry, Master.”

[What do you mean?]
The teacher immediately erased his smile, but I clearly heard it.
Looking at Charlotte, I’m sure she heard it too.
“My disciple is so well known in the world. How can you laugh at him? I am truly sad.”
The teacher turns his head as if he didn’t hear.
In the end, I ended up laughing hysterically.
“Idiot, that’s right. I’ve definitely been called that before.”
“… … Did I say something unnecessary?”
“No? What are you talking about? What do you think of me? Do you think I’m retarded?”
Charlotte shakes her head hastily.
“Absolutely not.”
Seldo, who was sitting across from me, nodded in agreement without thinking.
At least Cell remembers that moment yesterday when I was talking to Aveiro.
A smart idiot like me? Where in the world is there such a thing?
At that moment, Aveiro, who was standing next to me, drank some water and added.
“If Confucius had been retarded, the word genius would have disappeared from this world. And that would have happened a long time ago.”
Dude. Is this how you compliment someone?
She poured water into Aveiro’s empty glass and patted his shoulder.
The more I look at him, the more I like him.
He also picked up the duck meat with his chopsticks and placed it on the spoon.
You punk, eat a lot.
Then, with a smiling face, he tapped Charlotte’s head with his finger.
“Don’t worry about it and just finish eating.”
“lol.”
But it’s really strange.
I should say that Charlotte’s complexion looks a little pale.
Now that I think about it, the steak and vegetables Charlotte is eating right now aren’t sprinkled with my blood, or anyone else’s blood to be exact.
I turned my head slightly and looked at my teacher.
The teacher, who had been looking at Charlotte with a rather serious expression, turns his head when he feels my gaze.
Their eyes met each other, but they didn’t speak.
Because the large screen of the eyes was enough.
I guess our Charlotte doesn’t want to show off her blood-sucking abilities as a vampire in front of others.
I think I’ll have to call Charlotte over later and give her some blood.
“Oh, I forgot. This is Aveiro. He’s going to be our new family member… … Let’s introduce ourselves.”
The timing is a little late, but let’s just let it be.
Aveiro introduces himself, and Charlotte introduces herself as well.

Aveiro almost got into trouble again when he introduced himself as a vampire, and he really got into trouble when he said Cell was a dragon.
Thanos was just ordinary.
“Kuluk… … Ah, vampires and dragons… … Kuluk. Yes. Please take care of it.”
“What are you so surprised about?”
“No, how could you not be surprised?”
Although he had casually mentioned the fact that Cell was a dragon when they were in the basement, he seemed a little embarrassed to say it so openly in such a public place.
Anyway, that’s how the meal ended.
I sent Thanos, Cell, and Charlotte away, and stayed with Aveiro in the restaurant for a while.
The quick-witted Aveiro asks me.
“Is there anything else you would like me to do?”
hmm.
“Yeah, it’s a bit weird to say that in front of the kids.”
“Just order whatever you want.”
Aveiro, with his stomach full, was confident that he could accomplish anything.
Well then, I’ll tell you frankly.
“Things have changed, haven’t they?”
“Yes.”
“The first thing I thought of when I accepted you was that there was one thing that was perfect for you.”
Aveiro tilts his head.
“Is that right?”
“uh.”
“Please speak, Your Majesty.”
“You, go to the Marquisate of Valanti.”
Aveiro tilts his head once more.
Would it be more accurate to say that I don’t understand?
“Do you, Confucius, wish to have a ‘title’?”
I’m going to go back.
“I won’t take it even if you give me that.”
“Then, if I go to the Marquis’ House… … is there anything I can do?”
“Yes. I’ll explain briefly. First, the reason why you must leave Ascendible. The Adventurer’s Guild will investigate the circumstances surrounding the spread of the rumor about Duke Malone. Naturally, as we investigate, we will find out about Tolisso and you.”
“That’s right. The general structure of the ‘upper line’ has been drawn, and they will quickly realize that Tolisso is the source of the rumor… … I will also be involved. It’s true that I don’t have much time to do anything in Ascendible. Until today, or tomorrow. But why Marquis Valantier of all people?”
Aveiro is smart.
Now, the reason he keeps asking questions like this is because he wants to establish a rough manual for what he should do when he becomes a sequel writer.
“Second, the guy I saw as you is basically smart. You’re good at organizing situations and making assumptions. You could say you’re good at writing novels. Like the author of ‘Raccoon.’”
“… … That novel, the development part is not good.”

“Oh. Anyway, if you go to the Marquis’ house, there will be a man named Ron. He’s a servant now, but he’s a 9th circle magician and my family. He’s also my benefactor.”
“9 circles… … yes.”
“First, go to Ron and tell him this.”
“What should I say?”
“If the commander of the Iron Blood Knights returns as a Marquis, I’ll kill him.”
“The commander of the knights?”
“Oh. He’s the one who’s going to take Ron’s head in the future. So we should kill him first. And tell him that I’d like Ron to do it with his own hands if possible.”
Aveiro, quick-witted, nods.
There was talk of the future, and the word benefactor came up in the family.
“That Ron is the person I need to take care of while I’m there.”
“Yes. And now for the real part, I’ll give you most of the money I earn today. Use that to unite all the organizations in the Marquisate.”
“Unification?”
“Those who stab ordinary citizens in the back of the head, those who rob innocent people to collect rent, and other things, starting with bandits, thugs with connections to the Marquis, and even the bugs within the Marquis. It doesn’t matter if they are knights or elders. Kill them all. I’ll give you four months. Within four months, you must place the entire Marquisate in your hands.”
“… …Would it be 4 months? That?”
“Normally it wouldn’t work. But I think it might work for you.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“uh.”
Aveiro scratches his head.
“I wonder if it will be possible? I will sort it all out in four months.”
“And I’ll give you all of those Death Knights, except for two. Use them as much as you can.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I stood up quietly from my seat.
“If there’s anything you need to organize, organize it. If there’s anyone you need to bring from the Adventurer’s Guild, take them. I’ll leave it all up to you. As for the time, um… I’ll give you eight hours.”
“8 hours?”
“Why? Not enough?”
“No, that’s enough.”
Aveiro nods with a trusting expression, but unfortunately, there is still one thing left for Aveiro to do as the ‘branch manager’.
