Well, it's finally here, the royal capital of Rassiassiayu.
It's amazing.
What's amazing is that there are so many beautiful women here.
Well, I'm used to seeing Wendy and Aina, so of course it's not enough for me, but still, the percentage of beautiful and fashionable girls is high.

And Hayato's popularity is amazing.
Here's the exchange with the gatekeeper.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. Welcome home!
Yeah. I'm home. Uh, could you call the house ahead of time?
"All right, sir!　Oh, and by the way, would you mind signing this sword scabbard?
"Signature?　In a sword sheath?
'Yes!　I want to join the Order eventually, and I want to receive the blessing of the heroic Hayato-sama!
'Well, I'm not that great, but thank you for adoring me. Is that all right?'
'Oh, thank you!　I will cherish it for the rest of my life!'
"No, no, no, it's a sword, you have to use it...
"'Kyahayato-sama!
"Ha-ha, hello.
''Cah!''

It was like.
It was like a Hollywood actor coming to Japan, you know.
Fans were rushing to the airport, and we couldn't move until the guards came out and cleared a path for the carriage.
Naturally, the gatekeepers, who only had their eyes on Hayato, would notice me too.

''Well, that side........''
'He's a friend of mine. He's very important to me and I'd appreciate it if you could help me if I'm in trouble.
"Hayato-sama's friend........ I understand!　If you have any trouble, please come to the garrison or this guardhouse immediately!　We'll make it our top priority to help you!
Oh, thank you..... Eh, Hayato-sama?
"Hey, stop it. You can continue to call me Izuki.
'No, I'm not going to call you out in this air, you could kill me for crying out loud.

You're still whispering to each other, looking at me.
I don't like it.... I'd rather be quietly touring the royal capital and enjoying myself, but....

"Are all of your beautiful ladies the new good people of Hayato-sama?
''No, they are good people, Itsuki-san. They take very good care of me.
Could it be that Hayato-sama's friend is a nobleman as well?
"Don't get all cocky. I'm just a commoner.
''It's not just any thing. I'm Master Rainerich's student.
"My God!　So you're the one they say you are.　I have heard that the Supernatural Master Rainrich has taken an apprentice, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Oh, they call you by two names over here, don't they, Rainrich?
I'm surprised that the name is so well known even in the royal capital.

And just like this, we had a hard time entering the royal capital.

Even after entering the royal capital, the pressure of the people surrounding the carriage remained the same, and the guards escorted the carriage slowly forward while preventing it from getting too close.
Meanwhile, I quietly withdrew into the back of the cart and had Letty, Chris and Hayato sit on the gyoja stand.
It's not that I don't like the way people look at me, but there is a limit to what I can do.
Like Hayato, he is a man with dark hair and dark eyes, which is rare in this world.
Naturally, I can understand the questioning gazes stabbing at me.
That's why I was forced to pull back early.

''Fuu.''
You're tired, Master.
Yeah, I had no idea Hayato was so popular.
"Hayato-sama is very popular!　Ever since you were engaged to be married to Lady Spalier, we have been receiving offers from her to be her mistress, to be her concubine.
There was a lady who brought the child to me, claiming it was Hayato's child to the extreme. For all intents and purposes, the child is only a few years older than Hayato.
Holy shit...

Haha, if possible, I wanted to head to the Hayato residence while looking at the streets of the capital from the carriage.
I wanted to check out the clothing and tool stores and other shops that might interest me first.
After all, this royal capital is bigger than Ains Hale.
I wonder how many days it would take me to see it from one end to the other.
To be honest, I don't plan to stay in the capital for a long time.
The journey is fun, but home is still the best place to be.
Besides, I'll probably finish renovating the upstairs when I get back, and then I'll need to buy some more small tools.
I also want to experiment with new skills, and there are many things I need to do.

Well, since we've come all this way, I'm going to enjoy it to the fullest.
The goal is to auction, but that's a waste of time.
Since we're here, I think we should look at some of the trendy items in the capital.

The first thing that surprised me when I arrived at Hayato's mansion was its size.
There was a garden that looked like it could fit four of my houses in it, and the main building beyond that.
As expected of the Count, he lives in an amazing place.

Welcome home, Hayato-sama.
Oh, I'm home, Freed. Is everything ok?
'Yes. As of today, I have received 218 applications for matchmaking, 12 requests for recognition as Hayat-sama's children, and 345 knights and adventurers who have come to be hired by Hayat-sama. Also, the King has requested that you come to the castle as soon as you return.
Okay. Um, so...
'I'll take you through the process. Also, I have rejected your request, as you instructed. I'm reserving my reply to the noblemen of the county and above.
Yeah. Thanks, Freed. That's great.
No. It's because of Hayato-sama's virtue.
Then I'm going to the royal castle. Sorry, Itzuki-san.
No, if the King wants you, you're not supposed to go.　We're just going to stroll around the neighborhood at random, so don't worry about it.
'Yes!　Freed will show you around.　If you need anything else, just let me know!　Oh, and the auction is the day after tomorrow!
Yeah, okay. I'll leave the day after tomorrow open.
Two people are allowed, sir!　Now if you'll excuse me!

With that, Hayato and the others got into the carriage once more and headed for the royal castle.

'Is Chris not going?'
'I'm in the status of a slave. Miss Mee and Emily are going as guards, and Miss Letty is going as a nobleman. And I have an important job to do.
Oh, you're going to try it right away.
'Yes. Since I'm here, I'd like to try it out in time for dinner.

I taught Chris how to make ice cream.
The reason why he wants to try it when he arrives home is because he wants to see Hayato happy.

I'd better be off then.
If you can, I'll have some.
Yes, of course. I'd like to get some advice from your brother as well.

With that, Chris bowed and walked towards the kitchen, probably to the kitchen.

''Greetings, sir, I am Fried, the head butler under Hayato-sama.
Thank you very much. I'm Itsuki, a drifter just like Hayato.
Thank you. As long as you are in this mansion, all of you who are friends of Hayato-sama are guests, so please do not hesitate to ask me or any of the maids here to help you.
I'm a slave to my master, sir.
As long as Hayato-sama is with you, you are all guests.

The real butler is very cool.
He's very stylish and has an elegant manner.

Well then, sir, let me show you to your room first.
Um, excuse me, Mr. Freed?
No honorific is necessary, sir. You may call me Freed.
Oh..... Well then, Freed. I don't mean to be rude, but what tribe is Freed?

The old gentleman's butler.
I know that.
It's just that he's huge.
He's what, 2m20? No, no, 2m4, maybe 50 cm tall.

I'm half giant race and half human race.
Yeah. I didn't know other species could have children.
"Only when a child is born to another race, or rather, to one's own race and one's own people, is it born to a human. And when a child is intermarried with a human, he is said to be half-human.

I see.
I wonder how big the pure giant race is, then?
And if it's too big, does it go with the humans?

I hope you're not offended?
What? Why?
No, by nature, a half-breed is despised by all of his own kind and all of mankind.
Yeah,

Half-elves, huh?
I've heard that people don't like half-elves, but is it the same for other races?
I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do with it.

''........So you have the same reaction as Hayato-sama.
Hmm?
No, it was nothing. Then here it is.
Yeah, yeah. I'll follow you.

That's the same reaction as Hayato.
Well, we're from the same place, so it's hard to understand why people don't like us because we're half-baked.
He's an excellent butler, no matter how you look at it.
It's no wonder Hayato entrusted you with the responsibility of being absent.

This is your room. Unfortunately, these three rooms are the only rooms that can be rented out at the moment, and I'm sorry that I had to place two beds in each of them.
''No, no. I can only say thank you for preparing a room on this level........ But still, that's amazing........

First of all, the size, it's bigger than my living room.
And I could tell the bed was fluffy just by looking at it.
It must be really comfortable to sleep on.
It's not exactly luxurious, but the items that have been decorated give it an air of luxury.

There is a maid standing outside the room at all times, so if you need anything, please let me know. If you need me, just ring this bell and I'll be right there.
All right. Thank you for everything.
You don't need to call me "sir". I will have a carriage for you when you go out. Now, if you'll excuse me, sir. Enjoy your stay.

With that, Freed walked out of the room with his head down.

'So let's get a room assignment then...two, two, two, two, I guess.
Yeah, so?　How do you decide?
'Yes!　I think I'd prefer to share the same room as your master.
Just kidding. White is the guy.
This time we draw straws.

Six rods made from iron ingots are taken out and marked with a carving knife to scratch and mark them.
This is a reference to the rods that determine the honors in golf.
This should make three pairs.

'Then we'll have a shot at it, no hard feelings.
''I understand. I will now prove my love for you, Master.
Then White can't lose.
Okay. Come on, let's get the hell out of here.

I covered the end of the stick with my palm, shuffled them together to grind them together, and we each picked up a stick and pulled it out.

'One!'
Two!
Oh, there's two of me... and White.
I'm the only one!　Don't stare at me, Wendy, I'm scared!　It's just luck, so what can you do!

Wendy and Renge, White and Sorte.
So.

Me?
Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Aina.
Well, the beds are apart and I don't intend to do anything, but I'm a little nervous...

'Aina!　Trade for me!
No. You do this with White.
Hey, hey, hey. We're all set. We're not going to say anything. I'll save you two for another time.
"Mmmm.

We're both swollen, but we can't do anything about it.

Yeah!　Yes!

Who in the world can take that right away from Aina, who is in a small gut pose?
Thus, safe?　The lottery draw was over at the end of the day.
