Before the Departure 5

I was worried about how to deal with this situation, but Lionel-sama who was laughing out loud stopped it .

“Indeed . Pardon me, Takumi-san . ”

Grace-sama who was chided by Lionel-sama apologized .

“Eh? So, you were joking in the end!?”

“No, I wasn’t . ”

“She must have been thinking that if you had accepted, or something like that~”

“Indeed . ”

I thought she was joking, but it seems that she was half-serious, after all .

“The comment about national interest from a little while wasn’t a lie… saying losing you or letting you get away was rude, wasn’t it? I personally am really fond of you, Takumi-san . In truth, I would really like to keep you in the Capital, but we wouldn’t be able to hold you back anyway . That’s why I thought about sending Alfried with you, so that you don’t forget about us . ”

Grace-sama apologized once more .

“I was startled, but I didn’t mind it that much! Please raise your head already!”

I was taken aback just now, but apologizing to me again will make me flustered .

“Haah… not knowing just how serious Mother is, makes me frightened . Mother, let me tell you something . I would only be a burden to them if I tagged along . ”

“Oh my, is that so? Alfriend, were you so incompetent?”

“…! It’s not me that is incompetent, it’s just the standard of Takumi and the children is way too high! I believe that the knights who know about Takumi are of the same opinion!”

The guards, Wald-sama, Isaac-san, Najack-sama, Kevin-sama, and Claudio-sama nodded with serious expressions .

“Oh my!”

Catching the sight of the knights, Grace-sama opened her eyes wide in amazement .

“That much?”

“That much . When we went to the dungeon together, they were matching my pace quite a lot, after all . Despite that, we arrived to our destination in an astonishingly short time . Moreover, haven’t you also heard the rumors about how they captured the entire Dungeon of Ripples in no time! Rather, didn’t I inform you of this when I returned from the dungeon before?”

“… Did you, I wonder? I have no recollection~”

As Al-sama said, I feel that the subject was changed at that time~ that was, erm… the first time I met Lionel-sama——Ah!

“Al-sama, Al-sama . ”

“When you were talking about it, didn’t Grace-sama, umm… had a talk with Tristan-sama about the hidden alcohol in his office?”

“Ahh! That reminds me, Father got a scolding then!”

Just in case, I lowered my voice when talking about this, but Al-sama said it out loud .

That moment, Tristan-sama made a sour expression .

“Oh my, that time? Let’s see~ I recall overhearing some things, but I didn’t hear most of it . Sorry . ”

Wouldn’t that be normal? I would be rather shocked if she heard all of our conversation properly while scolding another person .

“But, indeed . Takumi-san is an A-ranked adventurer . He must be strong . Takumi-san has this ‘I am not concerned with fights’ face, so I unconsciously forgot~”

“… I can’t deny that . ”

It wasn’t only Al-sama nodding to Grace-sama’s words, as others were nodding in agreement .

… Well, I originally was physically weak, and virtually never use most of my strength when fighting, so it’s not wrong .

“In Takumi’s case, he does not concern himself with fighting and other matters unless the other party comes knocking, no?”

“Certainly . Couldn’t one say that he’s already used to it?”

Felix-sama agreed with Al-sama’s words and added to it .

I acknowledge that I get rolled up in various things, rather than incidents coming knocking, but I don’t want to say that I’m used to it already~

“Ha ha ha, you are used to it? So you are not only popular with people, but with incidents too, I see~”

Lionel-sama burst into laughter again .

Being popular with people is a good thing, but being popular with incidents… I wonder about that one?

“Well, it’s not a bad thing . It’s proof that you are cared for by many . I am one of those people, though! That being the case, Takumi . When you leave, be sure to contact us regularly… let see, at least once a month? I might have to contact you regarding the alcohol too . ”

“Oh my, isn’t once a month the minimum? I would like to be contacted every time you find a place to stay for a while~”

Yep, they have decided on a periodical report without me~

But well, that much is fine with me . I just have to send a letter from the Adventurer’s Guild .

“There will be times we will be in the mountains, so please overlook a few days at times . ”

“Fufu, we know . ”

After that, the silly conversation with the royalty continued for a while, and Allen and Elena who were reading a picture book returned .

“”We are back!””

“Welcome back . What about Julius-sama?”

“It’s Ju-chan’s bed-time~”

“Ju-chan is sleeping~”

“……”

Julius-sama must have been satisfied with Allen and Elena’s reading as he apparently fell asleep .

That is good, but… what about the way Allen and Elena address Julius-sama? No… it’s fine, I guess?

Nobody seems to be rebuking them and are looking at the two warmly too~

“Thank you very much for your time today . ”

“N? What, are you leaving already?”

“Yes, we will be leaving . Everyone here is a busy person, after all . It’s not like we can monopolize you all for ourselves . ”

Allen and Elena returned too, so I decided to leave after thanking them for the hospitability and wishing them good health .

Ah, before leaving the castle, I made my way towards the kitchen to deliver the rice cooker magic tool . Then, we went to visit the McPhersons, Jake-san’s bakery and other places to say goodbye, and the farewell round was generally finished .
