I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

284.How Much Does It Cost?(3)

“I want to go too!”

“Milia. I’m sorry, but I think that would be unreasonable.”

“Really?”

“Okay.”

“I want to go to the prom too…”

Millia looked quite disappointed. However, she cannot take two people of no particular status to a banquet attended by nobles and royal family.

Even though my heart ached, I couldn’t help but shake my head.

“There is nothing we can do because the rule is that there is only one partner. Please understand.”

“Then there’s nothing we can do about it…”

“Instead, I will take you to see the capital, so you can relieve your anger. Or…If we get a house, how about throwing a simple garden party to commemorate it?”

“Garden party?”

At my words, everyone’s eyes focused on my face.

He seemed puzzled by the word party. I stroked Milia’s head and continued her story.

“It seemed like it would be a good idea to have a small party to celebrate our summer vacation. “Isn’t it something you just have to prepare properly and enjoy without worrying about what others think?”

“That’s not bad. “Outsiders won’t come and there won’t be any danger.”

As an escort driver, Lenny talked about the difficulty of escorting and expressed his positive opinion about my opinion. What about other people?

“Sounds fun. “I think it would be nice to have a party like you said.”

“Me too…”

“I want to do it!”

“It will cost a lot of money, but is it okay?”

Is the only one worrying about my pocketbook? I said to Sif, who looked at me with a worried face.

“You know how much I make. Just having a party isn’t that big of a burden.”

“But you have to buy a mansion too.”

“Duke Ryan said he would personally help, so I guess I can find a decent mansion.”

I’m called by Duke Ryan’s name and he introduces me to the mansion, but he always tries to turn me away?

I am confident in digging. If you want to live, you’ll do it right.

“So don’t worry too much.”

Unlike foreign media, most likely things will work out as I intended.

I swallowed my words.

——————-

“Oh, it’s an honor to meet Lord Quartz!”

…Do I need to sign something? I looked at the middle-aged man who was looking at me with emotional eyes. The man who introduced himself as Viscount Bolt held my hand and didn’t know how to let go.

Only after I cleared my throat did he remove his hand and bow his head, saying he was sorry.

“There is no need for that.”

“You can speak comfortably. Sir Quartz.”

It feels a bit uncomfortable.

Anyway, I should go see the mansion quickly.

“I heard that Viscount Bolt is managing a mansion in the capital-“

“Of course. I manage the mansions in the capital. From what I heard, he is preparing a mansion in the capital…”

“Is there a mansion in a reasonably inconspicuous location? It doesn’t have to be in the center of the capital, even a mansion on the outskirts is fine.”

“There are about three good places for that.”

“Is it something that can be explored in its entirety today?”

“Yes. “It will be dinner when you come back, but it is possible.”

It would be difficult to take them all. Should I just take two?

Even if you say this, the number that can tell whether one position is lying or not is virtually fixed.

“Then I’ll bring the group, so let’s leave right away.”

“I will do so.”

I immediately took Lue, who was playing with Sif’s younger siblings, and Karina, who was drinking her tea, and headed to the stables in the corner of Duke Ryan. There stood a carriage with a quite luxurious design.

“Hehe, I guess I’m doing my best for the eyes. “I couldn’t believe I was riding a carriage with two such pretty girls.”

“Hehe, that’s too much praise.”

“Excessive praise?”

What should I do if I tilt my head there? Lue, who was still in the dark about life, looked up at me with an idiotic face. Even though the kids are teaching me various things, it is still difficult to communicate smoothly.

I spoke vaguely in response to the Baron’s puzzled reaction.

“As you can see, it’s because it’s an elf. “It’s been a while since I came into the world, so it’s a bit odd.”

“Haha, normally everyone gets upset when they first come to the capital. Ruler! Let’s go!”

We all got into the carriage and took our seats. The two naturally sit on either side of me. The Baron looked at me with a strange expression and said.

“A flower in both hands, as expected, the heroes are different.”

“It somehow ended up like this.”

I had no idea what to answer, so I gave a vague answer instead. He continued his story with a face filled with memories, as if he was remembering his past.

“I was also very popular when I was young. Even after all this, when I was young, I was so handsome that I was called a nobleman, so there were women lining up to dance with me.”

…I can’t believe it when a man with an impressive hooked nose says this. Well, it’s a storyteller’s instinct to want to brag, so that’s what I have to do.

“It’s a dance… Now that I think about it, I guess I need to learn to dance too.”

To be honest, I’m not confident in dancing. You must have danced before.

“Sir Quartz is a great knight, so you will learn to dance in no time.”

“That’s right. “John will do well.”

“Even if you say it’s dancing, it’s just about matching your steps and stepping together. If you take lessons with the lady next to you, your skills will increase quickly.”

“Isn’t there a difference between practice and actual performance?”

“Ah, Sir Quartz will probably learn it quickly. A lady interested in Lord Quartz… Oops, I guess I was wrong. Sorry. Sir Quartz.”

“It’s okay.”

“Anyway, I’m looking forward to Lord Quartz’s debutante. “Everyone will be interested in Sir Quartz.”

Interest.

Because I’m interested.

Honestly, I’m not that happy about it. I don’t even know how many people I approach out of pure curiosity. At least half of them will be people who approach me to bring me into their power or to build a relationship with me.

Because I couldn’t make threats in the banquet hall.

“This is not pleasant.”

“But it is human nature to want to talk to someone of excellence at least once.”

Viscount Bolt and I had an unusual conversation as we waited for the carriage to arrive at the mansion. Karina occasionally chimed in with the conversation, then started looking at the colorful street outside the window with Rue.

Did it take 30 minutes like that? The carriage stopped when her butt started to hurt.

“This is the first mansion. “This is the mansion where Count Carre once lived.”

That’s a really delicious-sounding name. But is there curry here?

Anyway, I looked at the roof, which was decorated in curry color as the name of the previous owner, Count Carré.

It’s not bad, but it looks like shit from a distance.

If I buy this house, I have to change the roof color. Why on earth did you paint the roof that color?

“The mansion is a two-story structure, with a restaurant, reception room, and lounge on the first floor.”

“The second floor is the residential area.”

“Yes that’s right. And as you can see… “

Viscount Bolt’s explanation continued endlessly. He explained everything, from the detailed internal structure of the mansion to the secret passages, to whether it was okay to reveal this to him. He said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“This mansion is worth about 5,000 gold coins. This is probably the cheapest property around here. As I said before, it is quite small and the surrounding yard is also small.”

“Then let’s go see the next mansion.”

“Ah, good. But…How about eating before that? “It’s almost lunch, so you’re probably hungry.”

“Do you know a good restaurant?”

“Of course. Even after this, my wife and I eat at a famous restaurant once a month.”

Looking at the smile on his face, it seemed like he was on good terms with his wife.

“Is there any food you prefer?”

“No.”

“Nothing.”

“Doesn’t exist! “No?”

“Then I’ll take you to a restaurant I often go to.”

Once the destination was decided, we left the mansion and headed to the carriage.

————

“The capital is truly amazing.”

“Haha, everything in the capital is big and gorgeous.”

Still, is it okay for a restaurant to sparkle this brightly? It felt like I was at a club, not a restaurant. Well, you can roughly think of it as a restaurant with that concept… But it’s a restaurant.

I don’t understand the emotion at all.

“Then I’ll go in.”

We quietly followed him into the store. The first floor was packed with people as if it was already full. If this is the case, I’ll have to go up to the second floor. We were guided by the staff and went up to the second floor and took a seat.

“Wow… The scenery is nice.”

“It’s the perfect place for a date.”

“I guess so.”

I looked at her for a moment, enjoying the feel of Karina’s fingers her tickling my palm. Normally, Karina would have leaned towards me or I could have kissed her lightly, but she couldn’t do that because she had so many eyes on her.

Complex-

“…John?”

“Martina? Why are you here?”

“Miss Martina?”

The sudden appearance of an unexpected person.

Me and Karina looked at her intently. Martina looked at us in turn and smiled as if she knew what the situation was.

“Oh my… Everyone, it’s been a while.”
