59 . Announcement dinner party in a remote small city, part 1



 On this day, I toured the Geghemorse area.

 The reconstruction of the streets destroyed by the chimera has almost finished and
 Thanks to the nightly raids by the bone men (skeletons) summoned by Sarah the Salamander, the interior of the city is more neat and tidy than ever before.
 The city road, which stretched from east to west and north to south, centered on the sub-branch of the town hall for managing the Gehmose district.
 North is the frontier city of Batcombe.
 To the east is the small frontier city of Picks.
 To the west is the small frontier city of Eads.

 And the south leads to the town hall in Liberty.

 The mines that we bought back from the Clover Chamber of Commerce in King's Landing previously.
 We had managed to break up the hard rock, and the new veins that were underneath it were beginning to be mined one after another with magical stones and ores.

 We're making arrangements to sell these ores to the Quinn Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.
 The chairman of the Clover Chamber of Commerce heard this story.
I should have sprung more on you in the first place.
 And he was stepping on the ground at the gathering of the merchant chairman of the royal capital, Quinn told me.

 

 And, well, just like that, while I was relieved that the management of the Gehemorse area was starting to get on track, I was greeted by Foldente as I returned to the town hall in a small magician's boat.

 Foldente waited until I took a breath before he began to talk.

It's about time we had a small frontier city unveiling.
 And Foldente.

 She said.
 When the size of a city rises, it is customary to hold an unveiling party like this, inviting influential people in the territory and nobles, as well as those involved in neighboring cities, to a dinner party with the meaning of an unveiling party.

 ........I'm ashamed to admit that I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, but at that time, I could only reply with a "Oh, really.......", and afterwards I felt very sorry for Foldente.......I should study more about the city.

 Until now, the Gehmose area was still recovering and
 On top of all the other diplomatic problems.
 Plus the whole magic ship thing, and that's just to add to it.

 It's not like I've been down and out.

Now that Gehmose is mostly back on track, I think it's about time.
 That being said, when I think about it
 Indeed, as Foldente says, it might be time to do it now.

 I'm not.
 In the meantime, I'm just wondering what to do with the invited guests.

 What to do with the venue?
 What to do with the food.
 Accommodations for invited guests
 That means of transportation.
 Setting up security for invited guests.

.........wow......I started to think about it and more and more things I needed to do came to mind.......well, hey, this is going to be quite a lot of work, isn't it?

 Looking at me panicking at the side, Foldente chuckles as he chuckles.
Well, well, maybe we should take a break first, and then we can think about the content, right?
 He said this and placed a booklet on my desk.

 In the booklet, he wrote
"Small Frontier City Liberty Unveiling Dinner Implementation Plan.
 When I looked inside the book, I found that it contained a rough draft of almost everything I had been concerned about.
I was referring to the materials from the dinner party we held when Batcombe became a frontier city. Will you take a look at it tomorrow?
 Foldente said that.
Well, I'm going to take a bath in the hot springs, so I'd better be off.
 He disappeared from my sight.

 Really, you're so dependable, Foldente.
 It was a thank-you note as I stared at the booklet.

 I wanted to repay him for his help.
 I have to work hard and grow as a lord one step at a time.......I thought again.

◇ ◇ ◇.

 the next morning

 I'm still sleeping, and someone is knocking on my door.

 Who could it be? So early.

 With that in mind, I opened the door to find Biblina there.
 Biblina was smiling somewhat nervously as she smiled.
Yo, yo! Ah, sorry to bother you so early in the morning but I just had some business to attend to........may I come in?
 having said that
 Without waiting for me to give my permission, he zips into the room.

 He's still going at his own pace.
 I thought, and then Biblina went to my bed in a straight line and gabbed up the covers.
 When she saw that there was no one in it, she put her face to the futon and began to hum and smell it.


 I couldn't help it.
 Biblina looked surprised for some reason.
'Oh, oh! You see, it's nothing.......it's nothing......it's nothing......it's just that you've brought someone in with a woman.......oh, no, I'm not talking about that. I hope you didn't hear that.
 She said that and waved her hands in the air with a bright red face.
 I'm still a bit sleepy, and I can't quite understand Biblina's intentions.
Well, if that's what Biblina wants you to do...
 I replied.
 Then Biblina laughed happily and
Well, that would be very helpful, by the way.
 He looked at me intently.
I heard from Foldente that you are holding an unveiling dinner for the small frontier city of Liberty.
 I told Vibrina that I was going in that direction.
 Then Vivalina said.

 First, he smiled happily.
 Next, that smile turned bright red.
 And then he started fiddling with his hands...

 What the hell is wrong with you? I was thinking, and then Biblina took a deep breath and turned to me.
You see I will be your partner for the unveiling of the....
 When Beverly said that much.

 The door to my room was thrown open in disarray.

 Huh? What?

 I was confused, and then Erdena came in from there at a great pace.

 Eldena fleshed out Vibrina with an ice-cold smile on her face, and
''Hey you ... what were you just going to say to Safate? I thought we all promised so much at the hot springs yesterday that there would be no loose ends, right?
 As she says this, she is grilling Biblina's chest with the index finger of her right hand.
 Biblina, on the other hand, is Biblina, and she huffily takes her gaze off of Eldena and turns away from her.
What are you talking about? I don't really have any memory of this, do I?
 And then I started whistling something while I was saying that.
 The whistling is extremely high and hoarse, which makes it all the more suspicious.

 Erdena grabbed Vibrina by the neck with a guiding hand.
 So you turned your gaze on me.
"...Ready? If a thieving cat comes along like this and offers you a dinner party partner, don't take it, right? Okay?
 So, with repeated reminders, I pulled Biblina out of the room.

 ........What the hell was that all about?

 I'm so confused.
'Huh? Is the door open?
 As I said this, Wunya came over with breakfast.

 I've been busy lately, so I've had something easy to eat delivered to my room.

 She put a tray of breakfast on my desk.
Is it possible that Lady Beverly or Lady Erdena is here by any chance?
 As she says this, she looks at me.

 To Unja, I'm like that.
Both of them came and went away like a storm.
 I chuckled as I said this.

 Unja smiled at me and smiled at me.
If you're having trouble finding a partner, I'd be happy to take you on as a partner for now.
 Saying that, she lightly lifted the hem of the left and right sides of her skirt and bowed reverently.



 Yes, I'm confused.
 Unja chuckles again.

It's the lady that the lord will take with him to the unveiling dinner.
 Normally, it's customary for his wife or his future wife to accompany him.

 Then he looked at me again.
Anya wishes to be a concubine of the little man, so she won't complain whoever the little man chooses as his wife, so don't worry.
 I bobbed my head with a peculiarity as I said this.

 With this explanation of Unja, I finally understood the reason for the morning's slap in the face.

 Both Biblina and Erdena are my partners... or rather my future wife-like position...

 and
 Thinking that far, I folded my arms and thought about it.


 I don't think I'd be that popular to begin with, and I'm sure you both felt sorry for me if I didn't have a partner to choose from, and that's why you were running for office.

 And so on and so forth.

My little girl is as insensitive as ever.
 Then he began to chuckle.

 Huh? What's so insensitive about it?
 I couldn't understand the meaning of those words, and all I could do was nod my head.
