Chapter 313 : Reminiscing About Old Times

 

「Alright. Looks like everyone agrees to stay in my castle for the time being.」(Tryon)

「There’s no way I would refuse your kindness, but, Lord Walltrail, may I ask why you want to invite us to your castle? You could just prepare us a room in an inn, right?」(Celine)

Celine knew about the Silver Eagle Amulet I got from Tryon, so she might know that Tryon wanted to befriend me, but she seemed somewhat confused. Perhaps being invited to the castle is like a super special treatment or something.

「Umm… Actually, I wanted to be an adventurer when I was young.」(Tryon)

「Eh…? It’s rare for a noble to want to become an adventurer.」(Celine)

「Haha, I know.」(Tryon)

It’s not weird for commoners to want to become adventurers when they were children, but it’s a bit difficult to imagine that nobles, who mostly live prosperously, want to do that dangerous job.

「I’m a feudal lord now, but I was the third son of an earl. I didn’t think I would become a lord back then because my father had chosen my oldest brother as his successor. I was born into a noble family, but I wasn’t raised strictly like other noble children. I was a free child back then. Because of that, I admired adventurers who lived freely. I thought it would be wonderful if I could become one. However, as a matter of course, my parents strongly forbid me to give up my status as a noble and become an adventurer, especially my father. I remember his annoyed face when he saw me playing adventures with my brothers.」(Tryon)

Ester looked at Tryon with her eyes wide open as she listened to him. She seemed to understand Tryon’s feelings for admiring adventurers, but at the same time, she seemed to feel sorry for him that his parents forbid him to chase his dream.

Seeing Ester’s face, Tryon smiled and continued talking.

「My parents didn’t want me to become an adventurer, but I didn’t give up. I persistently persuaded them until one day, they told me I could live freely as I wished, but I had to wait until my oldest brother became a feudal lord. My father would have nothing to worry about as long as he had a successor after all. But…」(Tryon)

Suddenly, Tryon lowered his eyebrows. He looked sad for some reason.

「Unfortunately, my two brothers died due to an epidemic when they visited a village in the far east… I was shocked back then. They were kind brothers to me, and I loved them so much… My father didn’t have a choice but to appoint me as his successor since I was his only child who was still alive. Because of that, I had to give up on my dream to become an adventurer.」(Tryon)

「I see… I’m sorry for your loss.」(Celine)

「Thank you… Well, I can’t become an adventurer, but it’s not that I hate my job as a feudal lord. I think working as a feudal lord is rewarding. It feels nice when your people are grateful to you because of your hard work. However, I’m still admiring adventurers. I was so excited when I heard that the adventurers who captured the bandits were visiting this city. That’s why I came all the way to this guard post to see them. Though, I didn’t expect that one of them was the cross-dressing boy I met at Iris Bar a long time ago.」(Tryon)

Saying that, Tryon turned his face to me and grinned.

「Ahaha…」(Mark)

「To put it simply, the reason why I want to invite you guys to my castle is that, Maryー I mean, Mark, I want to hear your adventure story. Besides, you promised to teach me how to make potato salad the next time we met, right?」(Tryon)

「Eh…?」(Mark)

I remember that he really liked the potato salad I made and I remember he asked me to teach him how to make it, but I don’t remember agreeing to it.

Oh, well. It’s not a special menu whose recipe is kept secret or anything.

Besides, I haven’t thanked him for the Silver Eagle Amulet. If it wasn’t for that thing, I would have died a few times already.

Now that I think about it, teaching him how to make potato salad might not be enough to repay him.

Well, I’ll think of other things I can do for him while I’m staying in his castle.

Celine turned to me and Ester, and then nodded.

Seems like she totally agreed to stay in Tryon’s castle.

We then replied to her with a nod too.

「Alright. Lord Walltrail, we accept your invitation. We will be in your care for a while.」(Celine)

Saying that, Celine stood up and bowed her head to Tryon.

Tryon then smiled refreshingly at her.

「Wonderful! I promise you will live comfortably in my castle. Without further ado, shall we go to my castle now? I have prepared a carriage for us. I’d appreciate it if you don’t take a detour today since we don’t know where the people from that evil organization are hiding.」(Tryon)

「Understood.」(Celine)

We were planning to visit the Adventurer Guild to sell a Land Turtle shell and blood, but it seems that we have to postpone it.

There will be no problem since I stored the shell and blood in my Item Box so they will stay in good condition.

However, I’m kinda interested in this city’s Adventurer Guild because I heard that it is the largest Adventurer Guild in the territory.

I was kinda excited to see the guild, but too bad we can’t go there today.

Well… It can’t be helped…

Now that we agreed to stay in Tryon’s castle, we left the room and followed Tryon and Morrison-san to the entrance.

『Khu khu~ Living in the castle~ Living in the castle~ I wonder if this guy has an ‘onee-san’-type maid with large butt~』(Nicola)

『Oi, oi. Promise me not to make any trouble.』(Mark)

『Don’t worry, don’t worry~』(Nicola)

Ugh… I can’t help but worry when she says that…
