After getting out of the carriage, Viscount McMaster and the others were greeted in front of the entrance of the mansion.
　In front of their eyes, about twenty beautiful people wearing silk maid outfits were lined up on either side of the red carpet, lined up in a row across the red carpet.
　The one standing in the middle of them is an all-back big man with his black hair carefully pulled back without a minute's notice.
　He wears a black-based silk formal wear.
　Indeed, it's a bland color.
　However, it's also true that it can be a color that is not very interesting.
　The person who wears it may also understand that.
　The gold and silver threads used for the sleeves and collar are exquisitely accented here and there.
　Well, I guess he decided that if it was too flashy, visitors would have an adverse reaction to it.
　All in all, I think it's a nice level of sophistication.
'Welcome. Viscount McMaster.
　He smiled softly and placed a hand on his chest to show them a graceful bow.
　As if to follow his words, the twins with their blonde and silver hair braided together and the maids lined up behind them bowed in unison.
　It's a single thread of control.
　It's just one way of bowing, but it's not as simple or easy as putting it into words.
　This is because angles and timing are not something that can be learned overnight.
　In an aristocratic society, etiquette is, in a sense, even more important than honing one's martial arts skills or studying politics.
　It is a tacit understanding that any aristocrat should naturally understand.
　In some cases, their heads could literally physically fly off.
''It's my pleasure to be greeted by the Lord himself,''
　When he said that, Viscount McMaster smilingly returned the greeting.
It is a pleasure to meet a member of a distinguished family that has been around since the founding of the Kingdom of Roselia. It is a great pleasure to meet a member of a distinguished family that has been around since the founding of the Roserian Kingdom. However, it would be impolite to keep him at your door. I will have someone in charge show you to the door, and I would appreciate it if you would make yourself comfortable in the hall.
Well, I'm glad to hear that, but we'll catch up later.
　After saying that, Viscount McMaster was accompanied by one of the maids to the mansion.
　On the surface, it could be said to be a really harmonious first contact.
　However, a certain emotion was already bubbling up in Viscount McMaster's chest, which had changed to disgust.
It's a good thing that you're able to get a good deal more out of them. 　
　The maids who showed a threadbare control in front of you.
　You can even feel the elegance in their appearance.
　It's a quality that makes it hard to believe that they are just upstart baronial servants.
　There's a saying that children are mirrors of their parents.
　It means that by looking at the behavior and actions of a child, you can understand what kind of person the parent is.
　Until a baby becomes self-aware and speaks its mind, its behavior and actions are a good example of what a parent can do and say.
　As there is a saying that "the soul of a triplets' child is up to a hundred souls," the character and thought of a child naturally reflects the qualities and ideas of its parents.
From that point of view, the servants standing in front of me can be considered to have received sufficient education.
Although as far as a quick look, the condition of the mansion was not perfect either.
　There is not a single piece of dust on the floor, and the carpets are not wrinkled or sagging.
　You can see the care with which the furnishings are arranged.
It's a good thing that this was originally the Count of Salzberg's villa, so it must have been maintained to a certain extent.
　Even so, to the best of Viscount McMaster's knowledge, he could only count on one hand the number of times that Count Salzberg had stayed in the royal capital, including the time of his heirship.
　The mansion also survives because it has been inherited for many years, and Viscount McMaster had never heard of an exceptionally diligent work on it.　
　Naturally, the morale of the servants serving in this villa would have been low.
　After all, the master they were supposed to serve hadn't shown himself for a long time.
　Of course, ideally, they should have the same loyalty and devotion with or without their master.
　But that's just idealism.
　Although Viscount McMaster himself is also a servant of the Roselia Kingdom, he is not a hundred percent obedient to Queen Lupis's policies.
(It's also possible that the house president who was entrusted with the management of this mansion is competent...)
　It's ultimately up to the man Mikoshiba Ryoma to manage the servants of this mansion by himself, or to have a competent person manage them.
(Either way, it's best to assume that this man Mikoshiba has an understanding of what it means to be a nobleman. (In any case, Mikoshiba's understanding of aristocracy is good.
　Viscount McMaster slightly increased his appreciation of the man named Mikoshiba Ryoma.
　If he looked backwards over his shoulder, his eyes met with the young man who was following behind him.
(Is that the same evaluation........)
　When he saw the young man give a small nod, Viscount McMaster gave a small sigh.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
　In the Roserian Kingdom, which has a strict status system, it is quite unusual for a commoner to be appointed as a nobleman.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　However, it's not that there aren't people from commoner backgrounds among the low ranking knights and bureaucrats.
　They are not nobles in the pure sense of the word, but they are not commoners either.
　Well, from the point of view of most commoners, they are definitely aristocrats and belong to the ruling class.
　But what do they look like from the point of view of the nobility?
　If we were to call them quasi-aristocrats, they would be in a quasi-aristocratic position.
　Or, for lack of a better term, perhaps pseudo-aristocracy would be a more accurate description of their situation.
　Many of those people have a misunderstanding of what an aristocrat is.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
The maid who is the leader of the group put her hand on the handle.
''This is........''
　Viscount McMaster gasps at the sight of the door that opens unexpectedly.
　It's a hall as large as the audience chamber of the palace.
　If you were to compare it to a hotel, it would have enough space to accommodate a standing party of several hundred people.
　Many people were chatting among them.　
(How many nobles were invited here?　(And...)
　Of course, Viscount McMaster was not imagining a deserted scene.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend.
　But it seems that Viscount McMaster's judgment was rather lenient.
(That's the head of the Earl of Burkhaid and the head of the Earl of Heimbel.......)
　These are the heads of the prestigious noble families who supported his house when the Marquess of Ernesto was once in the midst of its prosperity.
　These are noblemen who, like Count Bergston, have been forced to tighten their own fiefdoms.
It seems that Bergston and Zeref have come to their senses........
　Viscount McMaster slowly turned at the sound of an old man's voice from behind him.
