“It looks like you have quite the expectations of me, Wendelin-sama . I have only an extremely orthodox plan . Or rather, it isn’t even a plan . ” (Klaus)

However, as Klaus has been aware of the inside of my mind for a long time, he answered while not caring about that any further .

“Pushing for a successor besides those two, we will make an agreement with that new fellow or such?” (Wendelin)

“That’s how it is . And, for Karla-sama there’s someone who is a prospect for that, isn’t there?” (Klaus)

Since there’s a prospect, she expressed her desire to be the daughter of the Bänker household to me .
It would be weird if she didn’t take that in consideration .
That’s because I, who is the family head of the Earl Baumeister household, has no authority do to anything to the Browig household .

“Does she want the new family head to sever connections with her…?”

If either Philip or Christoph become the new family head of the Browig household, Karla will definitely be used .
Therefore Karla likely wants me to move so that another candidate becomes the family head .

“Is there any gain in it for me, I wonder?” (Wendelin)

I try asking meanly on purpose .
With the payment of the reconciliation money already decided, Herthania Valley, which I received on the condition of reducing the payment amount, was liberated .
At least for us of the Earl Baumeister household the dispute has already ended .

“It will become a help for Margrave Breithilde-sama who is your patron . If the dispute doesn’t come to an end, the development of the Savage Lands will be delayed . It’s also possible to make an agreement with the new family head to not get involved with Herthania Valley . I believe that it will save you unnecessary hassle for a while . ” (Karla)

“(This person, she is shrewd…)” (Wendelin)

I have a hunch that it will be fine if this person becomes a female family head and a son-in-law is adopted, but the person herself probably doesn’t wish that .
That means it doesn’t match with her own abilities and aspirations .

“(Does that mean that she is somewhat wasting away…?)”

She is resembling my lover from my previous life, but for some reason I have no romantic feelings towards her at all .
Despite her appearance, Elise has quite the discerning parts, but normally she appears to be a girl who gallantly prepares tea and meals .
Even Ina, it’s not like she’s a woman lacking appeal to talk with when it’s the two of us .
I think she is a bit of a shy person though .
Luise is fine since she usually gives such impression .
Wilma is taciturn, but her following me around like a puppy is cute .
As for Katharina, one will be surprised of the gap to her outward appearance, if you try hanging out with her .
However, Karla doesn’t leave the stage of lip service although she attends to everyone politely on a first look .
Without a doubt she doesn’t wish for a marriage with me .
It’s impossible going by the circumstances anyway . I don’t have any aspirations of wanting to make her forcibly my wife either .

“(Wendelin-sama, I believe we should accept Karla-sama’s proposal . )” (Klaus)

Klaus advices me with a whisper .

 

 

 

 

“(Did you expect me telling you to economically usurp the Browig household through our support after making her my wife?)” (Wendelin)

 

 

 

 

“(There’s also the labour shortage and the vigilance by the kingdom . Just the profits of the administrative and maintenance side in Herthania Valley will likely be large . )” (Klaus)

Even I understand at least this much .
I tried asking Klaus while wondering whether he would possibly aim for the rehabilitation of his grandchildren by using the expansion of the Earl Baumeister household .

“(Besides, the Browig household is a noble family existing since early days of the kingdom’s founding . Your family’s tradition of being established for around a century won’t stand up to that . )” (Klaus)

That means it’s not worthwhile ruling over them with unpleasant feelings as it will take time and money .
However, because they are a prestigious family, they are a truly bothersome existence .

“(That’s right, isn’t it… We will quickly make someone else than those two the new family head and have them sign the arbitration draft, huh…?) Got it . I shall accept it . ” (Wendelin)

“Thank you very much . ” (Karla)

Once it’s settled like that, we will immediately enter Margraviate Browig .
Since a guide is necessary, I continue to freely use public works magic while gathering newly employed personnel and reinforcement to help out with speeding up the extraction of the mithril deposits for the sake of earning money in Herthania Valley during the time waiting for that guide to come .
With the Herthania Valley liberation operation our funds decreased due to the rewards for the military forces, who participated in the diversionary tactics, and for the raiding members except me, but I planned for this to balance out right away with the sales of mithril ores .
Since there are also gold, silver, copper and iron deposits in addition, there will be even more earnings once we advance with the exploitation of those as well .

“A forcible liberation with the power of money and magic, eh? You became a splendid noble, too, Earl Baumeister-sama . So, who are the members heading towards the Browig territory?” (Klaus)

“We won’t go with overly many . ” (Wendelin)

Me, Erw, Burkhart-san, doushi, Wilma and Karla, these 6…

“Guide, you say? I’m quite well-acquainted with the geography though . ” (Nikolas)

Since they are busy as the arbitration between us and the Browig household already ended, it was decided that Nikolas from Thomas’ group, who were called back, would come along .

“So, will we also disguise ourselves?”

“We don’t have a reason to do that . We will enter the Browig territory as adventurers . ”

The arbitration between the Browig household and the Earl Baumeister household came already to an end .
Even if I entered their territory as adventurer, it’s not like there would be any problem with that .
Rather, it will likely be a problem if I do it in a sneaky way .

“It’s not like we are entering the Browig territory while publicizing everything . There’s probably not many peopll who know my face either . ” (Wendelin)

“No, that’s definitely not the case . By no means, do you plan to openly meet with the new successor candidate?”

“More or less I’m an Earl . I won’t do stuff like manoeuvring behind the scenes . ” (Wendelin)

Something like meeting with a new successor candidate after disguising myself will only be doubted as shady dealing .
Entering boldly, it will be fine if we openly meet with the new successor candidate, whom Karla mentioned, in our free time while also going on hunts .

“If you do something, it will be alright if I pluck your hair again . ” (Wendelin)

“I will attend to it normally, but…” (Klaus)

Leaving the matters of Herthania valley to Felix, Moritz and Elise’s group, we arrived after one day travel with Hendrik’s small magic airship at the central city of Margraviate Browig, Brotrich .
A port for magic airships exists in the outskirts of Brotrich with almost the same scale as the one in Breitburg .
Anchoring the ship there, we first headed to the Brotrich branch of the adventurer’s guild with the eight of us including Hendrik .

“Together with the old man…” (Hendrik)

“It has nothing to do with blood relationship or such! If you are a merchant and possess a dream of at least surpassing Artur-dono, you will make use of this time’s chance!” (Armstrong)

Hendrik had a slightly reluctant looking expression after seeing doushi being together with me .
I can understand his feelings .
If there’s a blood relative close-by while you are doing your job, it’s a bit awkward emotion-wise, I guess .
Doushi also said something quite stern as father .

“Can’t be helped . I’m here for the sake of reporting to master . Doushi is here for the sake of reporting to His Majesty . ” (Burkhart)

Either being fed up with the dispute caused by the Browig household, they are probably insuring the manoeuvring I’m boldly carrying out .
For me it’s also convenient that both of them are tagging along .

“Earl Baumeister-sama!”

When I report the gist of our activity in the last few days after arriving in the adventurer’s guild, the young, female receptionist ends up going to call her superior in panic and surprise .

“How troublesome…” (Wendelin)

“Umm… What’s your business with us today, Earl Baumeister-sama?”

“I won’t be treated me as noble during the time I’m hunting as adventurer . Wasn’t there such a directive?” (Wendelin)

This directive should have been handed down to the branches from the adventurer’s guild’s headquarters .
There’s also the matter with the previous underground ruins . It’s a rule that was properly watched by the branches in Breitburg and near the Demon Forest .

“I’m sorry . ”

“I’m going to hunt . ”

Since it’s weird to suddenly start manoeuvring, we first depart towards a nearby monster domain after receiving a map .

“Is it fine for me to come along as well?” (Karla)

“If you don’t complain in case something happens in the worst case . ” (Wendelin)

“That’s only natural . ” (Karla)

Karla participated as well while holding her bow .
Since she received a card when she registered in the adventurer’s guild at the time of becoming an adult, that was also a reason for not being able to decline her participation .

“With these members there won’t be even an injured person unless there’s some accident or we become too careless . ” (Wilma)

What Wilma has said is right . There were no complaints regarding Karla’s participation at all .

“Karla-san, I will protect you . ” (Erwin)

Erw is very happy to be able to go hunting with Karla .
Also, if he says that he will protect her, it’s not wrong since Erw is a vanguard and Karla a rear-guard .

“Dad, why even me!?” (Hendrik)

“You are a young man of the Armstrong household! It’s laughable for you to become flustered at the level of entering a monster domain in the city’s outskirts! What will you do as purveyor to the government if you won’t accompany a feudal lord!?” (Armstrong)

Being forcibly made to register as adventurer by his father, doushi, Hendrik was forced to participate after being given an armour and a spear as weapon .

“Even though I’m a merchant…” (Hendrik)

“You are a young man of the Armstrong household! Training in martial arts is indispensable! Even as merchant, it’s about you cutting corners in regards to that!” (Armstrong)

“I’m doing it every day!” (Hendrik)

Being pressured by doushi, Hendrik’s eyes were almost teary .

“Err… Please don’t expect anything from my physical strength . I will guide you though . ” (Nikolas)

Nikolas, who has the lowest fighting strength among us, gives us a warning .

“If you just guide us, the rest will make sure that you won’t get attacked by monsters . ”(Wendelin)

“Understood . ” (Nikolas)

Travelling to the monster domain located in Brotrich’s outskirts with Nikolas lead, Hendrik immediately had to fight against a bear monster with support from Wilma .
Being given an assignment that is above intermediate level all of a sudden by his father, Hendrik might have the misfortune attribute .

“Dad, usually ((you start)) from smaller…” (Hendrik)

“This level of monster; in my case I can bring those down with one fist strike!” (Armstrong)

“Only you, dad, can do such thing~~~!” (Hendrik)

“Ah, I’m able to defeat them like that, too . ” (Luise) (T/N: Why is she here? O . o)

“Luise-sama, I’m talking about those in a normal human category . ” (Hendrik)

“As expected of doushi’s son . ”

Due to Luise correcting him, Hendrik gives her an answer filled with poison albeit in a polite tone .
Even while I’m saying that, as expected of doushi’s son .
In the beginning it was close fights, but after continuing he got used to it right away and brought down several monsters with his spear .

“Amazing, Hendrik . Won’t you join our party next time?” (Wendelin)

“Master, I’m a merchant though…” (Hendrik)

Without any dangers, the other members hunted one monster after the other .

“Everyone is great . ” (Nikolas)

Only Nikolas had a normal field trip in a safe location .

“Karla-sama!” (Erwin)

“Yes!” (Karla)

Among those, Erw and Karla hunted monsters with a nice efficiency .
After Erw inflicts a blow, Karla finishes them with an arrow .
Likewise they are going with the reverse pattern .
If seen from the side, they are a fairly nice combination .

“If it’s Karla-sama, you will become a good adventurer . You are also skilled in matching with other people . ” (Erwin)

“No . That’s because Erw-san is a great adventurer . ” (Karla)

There should be something else Erw is expecting .
That is…

“(Erw thinks that they can work well together since Karla-sama is well-matched with him . )” (Wilma)

Wilma utters to me in a whisper .
If it’s the thinking of the current Erw, the possibility of him reaching that conclusion is probably high .

“(The answer is that Karla-sama has talent though . )” (Wilma)

“Hahaha…” (Wendelin)

Due to Wilma’s calm analysis I express nothing but a dry laughter .
I’d like him to do his best as close friend, but for me to support him officially will only work after the manoeuvring of Karla being treated as daughter of the Bänker household goes smoothly .
I intended to give both of them my blessing if that happened and Karla was interested in it .
Currently it’s impossible for me to support him as Earl Baumeister .
Erw probably understands that as well .
That’s why he is trying to do something about it by himself .
And, the first step is both of them having a mutual love .

“If it’s adventurers, there will be dangers but it’s also easygoing…”

Even Burkhart-san, who is hunting with magic while muttering such stuff in a whisper, might have piled up various stress thanks to the recent dispute .
Firing spells in rapid succession, he continuously hunted monsters .

“It’s fine at this point for today, huh…?”

As it has become evening, we decide to finish for today since we were able to hunt a splendid amount of monsters .
We have to search for an inn, but Karla says that she has something in mind .

“The mansion of that new successor candidate or such?”

“Yes . That’s right . ” (Karla)

“That’s fine…”

The dispute is dragging on . It’s a person where it’s wrong if we don’t got to meet them anyway .
First off, what is sad is that it’s no good if we don’t consider various things in regards to the lot from the Browig household .
If the successor candidate, Karla mentioned, is really excellent, they would provide a nice meal to us with a smile, I thought .

“The retainers, who support Philip and Christoph, might come to assassinate us . ”

“The probability isn’t zero . ”

“Since they will be this time a waste of mana, I won’t paralyse them but burn them black, freeze them or chop them up . ” (Wendelin)

Area Stun was a spell making it possible to defeat them without casualties, but it consumes mana as it’s difficult to regulate its power .
We used it unreasonably because it was a dispute, but if the opponent is an assassin, normal spells won’t consume mana quickly .

“Before that, all of them will be beaten to death by doushi . ” (Burkhart)

“It will be legitimate self-defence!” (Armstrong)

Karla didn’t particularly change her expression due to my, Burkhart-san’s and doushi’s threats .

“(If Karla-sama was a man, it would be a simple story . )” (Wilma)

It’s just as Wilma says . That’s because the discussions will stop once Karla is made to succeed .

“It’s this mansion . ” (Karla)

With Karla’s lead, we move to the mansion of that person .
That mansion was build close to the huge mansion of the feudal lord which is located in the heart of Brotrich .
Its scale was small, but it has a nice image due to being maintained beautifully by the owner .
