126 Episode 123 A Connected World




But, Father, this is finally the one thing we have to settle, isn't it?
 Sasha said, sounding relieved.

''Oh. I didn't know what to expect when the squadron of demons attacked the merchant carrying the first living hina forensic scientist I called for help.

"A troop of demons Travis's troopers...
 That's a word I've heard before.

"The injury was nothing serious. I was just too emotionally drained from the experience of dying to let him work. That's why I'm so grateful that a skilled craftsman like Nee-chan agreed to work for me.

''Hey, isn't that the story of the swarm of over a hundred demons that attacked us on the forest road a couple of days ago? And the demon horde was wiped out in the village of Aoud...

You knew about this, Nee-chan? I'm sure I'm doing my best to keep that information under wraps for some reason, but I'm sure you're a pretty good judge of character. You're quite a well-informed person, aren't you?

Huh? Informed or not. I don't know what to say, but I'm the one who annihilated that group of demons.......!
 I'm so proud of my bravery and my nose.

Hey, hey....
I heard from the resident knights that the traveling swordsman single-handedly defeated every single demon, but I didn't expect it to be Lady Seya!

''Certainly, considering the location and timing, it is a natural conclusion to be drawn that The Dragonslayer, Manashiro Seiya-sama, would have been involved.

 The three of them showed three different kinds of surprise.
 .........Sorry, the last maid wasn't surprised at all.
 I exaggerated a bit.

''No, really, the world is connected in casual ways........''

 Pops said earlier that the world is small.
 Yeah, I realized it was true.
 And I realized that the world is so small.

'That's great, nee-chan. How did you do it?
No, no, no, not so much. It was just a normal thing to do.

 They were throwing out compliments one after the other, and while they kept a clear face, they were actually getting very comfortable with it.

''Hey, Nee-chan...no, Manasilo Seya-dono. I'm not just yesterday, I didn't know that you were helping me all the way before that, I didn't know that you were helping me all the time. I hereby apologize for my rudeness in treating you ungratefully, first in a pompous manner and then in a familiar manner.

 Suddenly, the old man threw a polite word at me as if he was a changed person.

''What's the matter, old man, you suddenly changed your mind.

 If I were to suddenly get a great man to play a low(tentative) hand, I would be freaked out because I couldn't read his intentions.......
 The old man, however, continues to speak with a high-pitched tone of voice, "I don't pretend to be a representative of this town.

''I don't mean to pretend to represent this city, but I still want to say it. Thank you so much for your help. Thanks to you, the city and the people--a lot of lives were saved.
Hey, come on...

As a token of our gratitude, I can assure you that from now on, Travis's business associates will be at your service for the foreseeable future, Master Manasilo Seya. You may take this as an official statement from the head of House Travis, Marthe Travis.

'Oh, oh, thank you. That's very helpful, but before you do that, may I ask you to do one thing? You can stop calling me "lord" and acting so formal. What can I say? I'm already an old man in my mind. It's not right to change that relationship after all this time.

 We've been eating breakfast in harmony until now, and suddenly calling each other "Mr. Marte" and "Lord Manashiro" is just a contrast now, isn't it?

Is that what our savior, Lord Manasilo Sayre, wants?
...Oh yeah, that's right, old man.
Well I get it, nee-chan.

 The serious expression on his face from a while ago is nowhere to be seen.
 It was an old man who smiled back at me with a smile that made me like people.

Yes, this feels right.

 But still.
 What a godsend.
 Is that what you call it now, a divine development?

 Because, you know, this means that this is the kind of patronage that is often associated with anime protagonists. You mean?

 For example, they offer you a vacation home at a camp event, or special tickets to an amusement park, and they are indispensable for enjoying your irresistible harem!
 This is already tantamount to being told to plan an enchanted camp event with the girls!

The sandy beach where we dueled was quite beautiful, wasn't it? In other words, the sea camp ........ and if it's a swimsuit event here is still a royal swimsuit event, common sense! 

Mr. Manashilo, please allow me to give you a piece of advice. My heart is sneaking out of my mouth halfway through.
What?

 The maid next to me mumbled in a small voice that only came out of her mouth in a blur.
 Her mouth wasn't moving at all, so for a moment I thought I had overheard her.
 What's the purpose of that super high-level skill of unknown purpose........is ventriloquism also required to be the first maid?

 I mean.
Oh, seriously, did I just say that out loud?
 I ask in a stiff whisper.

''Please don't worry. This is because the first maid has a high level of hearing. The two of you can't hear it.
Oh yeah!
"I'll keep it all to myself, so please don't worry, Mr. Manashilo.

I'm afraid the way you're talking about it already makes me feel vulnerable...
Please do not be alarmed.
Oh, yes....

 It's really scary because he has no expression and doesn't even move his mouth........
 Yeah, I'll be a little more careful about what I say and do when I'm around this person........
