Tense air flows around.
　Blueit cast a vexed glance at Azuel's words.
　Originally, it's fair to say that the Blue It's heretical for a nobleman to walk around town without a bodyguard.
　It's not uncommon for people of blue-it build to get involved in fights when they walk around town.
　Some people say they don't like Blueit's self-assertive, in other words, self-assured attitude, and it's not unusual for Blueit to turn down a fight, and it's not uncommon for them to get into trouble themselves.
　That's why if you act like you're going to get a fight out of the blue, you'll buy it right away.
　That is probably one of the reasons why he is considered heretical as a nobleman aristocrat.

"Why? Why can't I go to Count Van Lyle's territory? It's not a hostile faction, is it?"
"Blueit. You're the next Earl, aren't you? What do you think would happen if such a person ended up dying on his own territory? At least I can't get along with someone who might have killed my successor."

　It's not unusual to say that aristocracy is the exact opposite of what it thinks in its outward appearance.
　But there is no doubt in general that he cannot be friendly with the person who killed his son by blood.
　Given the high probability of this happening, it is only natural that the Earl of Van Lyle is unhappy with the visit of Blueit.
　No, if the Blue It comes to a normal village or town, there's no problem.
　But what Blueit wants is a city full of adventurers near the forest where monsters live.
　They are naturally more likely to encounter trouble in such places than in ordinary villages and towns, and there is no doubt that the quality of the trouble is more dangerous than in ordinary villages and villages and towns.
　Azuel's words contained such a meaning.
　When Blueit hears it, he thinks a little... and then he breathes out loudly.

"Oh, my God. I don't want to pick a fight with anyone either. My remarks were careless."

　Oh, yes.
　Watching it, Ray raises his rating on Blue It.
　Even if you're a noble... No, it's because you're a noble, and if you're an ordinary person, you can't pretend to be honest about your failure.
　But Blueit did it with ease.
　It might be a problem if it was purely aristocratic, but at least the attitude of Blueit from Ray's point of view was sufficient to be taken favorably.
　Ray's reputation for Blue It was originally high, but it was a step up from there.
　Azuel also nods with a smile, though he seemed a little surprised at what Blueit said.

"I'm glad you've got it. I don't want you to bring unnecessary conflicts into the aristocracy."
"Oh, I was careless when I was always thinking... but in that sense, I envy you, Mr. Elena."
"Huh? Me?"

　Elena, who has been watching this conversation without any particular interaction, is bent on Blueit's words.
　With just that movement, the golden hair shines in the magic item light that illuminates the party hall, attracting the attention of the blue-it and others.
　But I was able to get back to life quickly because I've seen Elena at parties several times before.
　However, today's Elena is much more brilliant than ever, perhaps because of the presence of Ray.

"Oh, oh. Mr. Elena is just like me... more important to the nobles than me, isn't she? But unlike me, she can go wherever she wants."
"Well, if you say so, it's only because she has such a nickname as General Hime. If Blueit wants to be in the same position as me, he has to be active on the battlefield or whatever."
"...there's no more battlefield for it."

　Until a few years ago, there were frequent wars against the Vestian Empire.
　Of course, it was more of a skirmish than a skirmish, but in a major war a few years ago, the Westian Empire was badly damaged.
　Afterwards, there was a civil war in the Empire of Westia, and it was the pro-Milliana royalists who ultimately took the initiative in the Empire.
　But that's not because I really feel familiar with the kingdom of Mileana, but because my beloved sister is under Ray in the kingdom of Mileana.

(Well, let alone the prince, it is a little surprising that the emperor is gentle and friendly with the kingdom of Mileana.)

　The words of Blueit remind Ray of the former Emperor of the Westia.
　I could understand by looking at him that he was full of ambition.
　Such a man, even if it were his successor's will, had begun to refrain from war against the kingdom of Milliana.
　The Vestian Empire is only as great as the Kingdom of Milliana, but one of its major weaknesses is that it is not bordered by the sea.
　That's why they've been waging endless wars trying to get the ports owned by the kingdom of Milliana.
　With that in mind, it was hard for Ray to believe that the emperor was quietly withdrawing.

"If you get a nickname, besides the war against the Empire of Bestia, there are other imitations such as defeating large-scale bandits, confronting monster runaway, or continuing to win by challenging a reputedly strong opponent in mock warfare?"

　Then someone interrupts the Ray's conversation again.
　I looked to the voice and saw an old woman there.
　Naturally, Ray didn't know who the old woman was... not that he knew who the old woman was, but that she was.
　Because this old woman is one of the most influential figures in the aristocracy.
　Around here, Miranda probably taught him some important aristocrats, even though it was a fake blade.
　However, there is no such thing as photography or camcorder in this world.
　No, there may be some magic items, but unfortunately Miranda of the poor baronet family, who was neither legitimate nor legitimate, could have prepared such items, so that she could not immediately identify them -- the rare old woman.
　That's why Ray didn't immediately recognize Zascar, the Marquis of Seysore, when he met him.
　Above all, its characteristic ending is indisputable.

"You're the Duke of Houndall, aren't you? I'm Ray, the adventurer. Nice to meet you."
"Whoa. You seem to be much more polite than what I've heard. 儂 is the Duke of Houndall's Lemuria. Please take good care of me."

　Lemria says so with a pleasant smile.
　the Duke of Houndall
　It's the name of a nobleman who has the strongest influence in the aristocracy.
　In the first place, the highest peerage among the nobles in the kingdom of Mileana is a duke, and no one can command it except the only exceptional king.
　...it's not really that easy, but it doesn't change that you're near the top of the kingdom of Milliana.
　What distinguishes Lemuria above all else in such a position is that she is still the head of the Duke of Houndall, though she is in her seventies or eighties.
　The job of the head of the family is quite busy, and it is common to hand over the peerage to a successor in his fifties... in some cases before that.
　But the Duke of Houndall's family was still headed by an old woman, Lemuria.

(I heard that this old woman, Lemuria, was still the head of the family after a lot of trouble in the house, but I'm a little worried about what kind of trouble had happened.

　I've heard about that from Miranda, but I haven't heard of any specific reasons for the conflict.
　There were many other things to remember...most of all, he was not very interested in nobles, and he had ignored them from right to left.

"And yet... aren't you too bloody?"

　Lemria's gaze at Blue It has a strong sense of stupidity.
　For Lemuria, who has lived as a noble for many years, she frowns at the words Blueit was saying that she hoped a battle would take place.
　Even Blueit, who is looked at, can't fight reflexively like Azuel did, scratching his head and making a mistake.
　Lemuria, as well as the duchess, was a matter of her age.
　If Blueit does something that grabs at Lemria here, that's all he can do to kill.
　It was basically a bloody bluit, but it never seemed to me that I wanted to kill an old woman.

"No, but. You're longing for a person with a different name, aren't you? It doesn't matter at all whether you're a nobleman, and if you're a nobleman, you won't be complaining about going out alone."
"... well, I'm sure so, but how few people can get the nickname... does your lord know?"The ending of the sentence was a little disturbing, but what Lemria was saying was never wrong.
　There will be many who wish to be nicknamed.
　Most people, especially those who have just become adventurers, will eventually want to be nicknamed themselves.
　However, only a handful of them can be nicknamed.
　No, it would be even smaller than a handful.
　Not everyone who wanted to have a different name dies, but there are many who want to have a different name and die by force or rashness.
　Lemria probably didn't want Blueit to die that way.
　But the more energetic young people are, the more convinced they are that they are.
　The current Blue It also couldn't understand Lemria's feelings.
　However, they probably understand that it is rude to dismiss it without question or answer.
　open one's mouth somehow to deceive

"Oh, well, what? I'm not going to overdo it for now, so don't worry. Besides, I'm pretty confident in my skills."
"Whoa, whoa. I've heard of it. But there's no point in pushing yourself to death?"
"Well, I'll be as careful as I can be,"

　It was a bluit, but it seems to Ray that it's a delicate question whether he's really careful.
　That's the kind of word to mislead the occasion.
　But that doesn't mean Ray will blame Blueit.
　Blueit is not the kind of person Ray has to take care of.
　As long as you are already acting at your own discretion, if anything happens, it's your own responsibility.
　...however, I don't think there's anything in it, as Ray can see that Blueit is strong enough.

(And if anything happens, I'll probably help Blueit.)

　For Ray, Blueit is a rare match for a nobleman.
　That's why if Blueit comes for help, it'll help.
　Blueit is proud, though, and wouldn't ask Ray for help so easily, and if he did, it would only be when there was really nothing he could do.

"Well, that's what you should be careful about, isn't it?"

　It wasn't clear to Ray whether he had determined that Blueit was convinced, but he didn't seem to say anything more after Blueit said he was careful.

"Well, then, what did he say to the masters... ...because he had a little more to do than that?"

　After all, Lemria's eyes were turned to... Ray, of course.
