Chapter 37: The Bath of Levesons House

Welcome back.(Maid) With Havel as the lead, the group entered the mansions entrance hall. Then a young maid greeted while bowing deeply.The entrance hall stone floor had been polished until it gleamed, the stone pillars erected near the side wall were also decorated with carvings.

I brought along important guests. Since I will guide them to guest room, quickly prepare a meal and the bath, Marie.(Havel) Will the bath be taken before the meal?(Marie) Yes, I leave it to you.(Havel)

The maid called Marie quickly replied certainly! towards Havel, and then once again bowed to Kazuras group.Judged by her appearance, she was still in the age that can be called a little girl. After Havel gave directions to Marie, he said Please follow me, as he guide Kazuras group towards the mansions inner rooms. Please use this room and make yourself at home. As soon as the bath is prepared, another person will come and call you.(Havel) Havel guided Kazuras group to the guest room and after a bow he exited the room.When Kazura confirmed that Havel had left the room, he put his luggage at the floor and looked at the room. A candle holder was installed in the rooms wall. Its gentle light faintly illuminated the room.On top of the fine quality round table inside the room, was a wooden plate with fresh fruits placed in it. A knife was also prepared in front of the plate. There wasnt anything like a water pitcher so this might be prepared as exchange of beverages. Theres even a bath. This house seems to be extremely wealthy. It even has something that only nobles could have.(Kazura) Kazura spoke these words while immediately picking an apple looking fruit from the table and with the prepared knife began to skillfully peel the skin. To even guide us to this room(Valetta) Valetta was thinking that the best outcome she and her father could get was for an inn in the town be prepared for them, so she was surprised that Havel unexpectedly treated them in the same manner with Kazura.Originally, for a mere peasant to set their foot in a nobles house was nothing short of a miracle.The only exception was when they were bought as a slave or when they were employed as a servant. It is surely because he intent to give me a good impression. This fellow might have done this as a foundation for the future.[1](Kazura) While stuffing the peeled fruit into his mouth, Kazura spoke. Valetta nodded at him with an expression that was indescribably not pleased.Even if they understood that it did no harm to them, but when they thinking that Havel only took them to draw out Kazuras favor, they didnt feel pleased at all. Seeing Valettas expression, Kazura made a wry smile and began to speak. Dont make that face, it will be alright. I think right now this is not a disadvantageous situation for us, if we could build good relationships like this then it will be convenient for me Ah, sorry. I am the only one who eating. I will also peel Valetta-san and Valin-sans share.(Kazura) Ah, Im fine. Since Havel-sama said that the dinner will be served soon, I dont really want to eat anything right now.(Valetta) Umu, I also dont want to eat. Since it is rare to have a chance to eat a nobles feast, then I will keep my stomach empty for now.(Valin) Hmm Thats certainly true Then Ill too stop eating after finishing this piece.(Kazura) After Kazura said so, he began to peel another fruit, Valetta unintentionally chuckled out a laugh. That reminds me, even after we had lunch earlier, Kazura-san said you was still hungry, took out a canned food and stealthily ate it. Are riding a Rata really that tiring?(Valetta) Yes, since my feet hardly could balance my body, it was more tiring than I expected. If its like this, maybe it will be better for me to just walk(Kazura) Since they departed from Grisea Village, Kazura was always rocking atop a Rata, because he didnt get used to riding it, he had become considerably exhausted.Probably because he was overusing the muscles that he hardly used before, his thighs had considerable muscle pain.Maybe because of these reasons, Kazura become excessively hungrier than usual and had an appetite for food unlike what he had since he first arrived in Grisea VillageRiding, in contrast of its appearance, is quite a hard physical exercise. By the way, about the content of the discussion with the Feudal Lord tomorrow, lets arrange our stories beforehand so its more or less matched. Since there are things that the Feudal Lord is better without knowing.(Kazura) Since currently the three were together, so that they wouldnt tell different stories when meeting with the feudal lord after this, it would be better if they match what came out from their mouth just to be sure.Basically, the feudal lords questions would be answered by Kazura, however it would troubled Kazura if the feudal lord accidentally heard something from Valetta or Valin that he shouldnt know. Valetta-san and Valin-san, I wont mind if you answered honestly when the feudal lord ask you. However I want you to hide the fact that after the villagers ate the food I had brought, they had increased physical strength.(Kazura) Valetta and Valin nodded towards Kazuras explanation.Kazura brought with him various useful tools that may be needed to be shown to Nelson as an explanation that Kazura is Greysior.However, food is a different matter. Currently only the inhabitants of Grisea Village knew about the effect of the food that Kazura had brought.There was no need for Kazura to inform that if someone eats the food he had brought over a long period of time, they would gain herculean strength.If Nelson knew about the effect of the food that Kazura had brought, then there is a likelihood that he will seize the remaining food at Grisea Village. Kazura couldnt completely refute this possibility. The Lipo D, that just by drinking a bit of it could restore stamina and completely cure illness in a short time of span, was also in the same position. It could display tremendous power either if used in daily life task or as a negotiation card.If just in case, Nelson didnt get convinced that Kazura is Greysior even after showing him various tools then he would show them the effect of the Lipo D on someone who was dying. If they saw the miraculous effect of the medicine then they would surely believe in his existence.Although, if the content of the negotiation is only proposals, that could bring profit to the feudal lords side, then it is quite unlikely for them to deliberately take an attitude of antipathy towards Kazura. When the three were continuing their discussion about if there anything else that would be bad if were spoken out, a knocking sound could be heard from the door. Come in.(Kazura) Pardon my intrusion.(Marie) After Kazura replied, the maid called Marie, who had greeted them at the entrance hall previously, entered the room.

I come to inform you that the bath has been prepared. I believe that it would be better if the one who bathe first is Kazura-sama, but(Marie) I understand.(Kazura) Thank you very much. Then, please let me guide you.(Marie) Marie expressed her thanks when she heard Kazuras reply, and then she guided Kazura out from the room. When Kazura and Marie were heading towards the bath, in one of the rooms inside the mansion, Havel faced an elderly male who was clad in robe. Then for tomorrow noon, there will be a carriage for transport and 4 soldiers as the bodyguards.(Man) Yes, I request for them to be competent soldiers. Also give them strict order to not be rude even just because there are peasants. I also request for superior quality food or tent.(Havel) While Havel was wracking his brain to think if there anything else that will be necessary, the elderly male was looking at him with curious looks.This is justified, since when the man was doing his clerical work inside his room, Havel suddenly entered and ordered to prepare the private soldiers and carriage; however the content of the order confused him.Guessing from the whole story, it looks like the one who will ride the carriage seems to be mere peasants.Rather than together with a noble, the carriage that will be escorted only carried peasants, so this was normally an unthinkable occurrence.Moreover, after he inquired in detail, that peasants were currently lodging in the mansion.This was an impossible story that was hard to believe. Not only let the peasants staying, but also to prepare a carriage and bodyguard Are those peasants actually nobles hiding their
